Chapter 38 Yue is old and confused, drunk and messy on the mandarin duck spectrum

Chapter 38 Yue is confused and drunk (Part 1)

On the seventh day of April, everything had been arranged yesterday. The Empress Dowager and the Long Live also went up the mountain to pray for blessings and listened to Master Wuran, the abbot of Yanshan Temple, preached Buddhist scriptures for a day. The long live master and concubines who have been busy for many days today are resting in their respective rooms.

The Empress Dowager gets up early, and the old man is always like this. She can't sleep even if she wants to sleep. I combed her hair and said, "Although you are busy, you still have to go up the mountain to help me with a strand of incense. This worship of Buddha is a matter of sincerity and perseverance, and you must not be careless."

"Yes, after serving the Empress Dowager for breakfast, I went up the mountain." I answered.

"Left and right nagging me again, I can use breakfast," the Empress Dowager said, "You, you have to take care of me these days, and you have to take care of me. I don't know how tired you are. Poor you are so big, ..."

"This is what I should do."

"What should I do or not? You take good care of me. I don't know how much I will suffer without you."

"What is the Empress Dowager talking about? Mu Nian said that she would stay with the Empress Dowager all her life. The Empress Dowager can no longer drive away Mu Nian." After cleaning, I called Xiu silk to bring the breakfast.

I helped the Empress Dowager to the table. She said, "It's harmful for me to keep you by your side. This time, you have made a lot of credit. The emperor wants to reward you. I want him to marry you, and you are not small."

I knelt down and said, "Is the Empress Dowager going to drive away? The Empress Dowager's thoughts are clear. She just wants to serve the Empress Dowager wholeheartedly, and she doesn't have any other thoughts.

"You child, at least for your own good, but you are so stubborn. Get up first."

I can't move on my knees. In fact, I don't know what I'm insisting on, A Xing? I still want to stay in this countryside far away from the palace, but how long can I escape?

"Ok, don't kneel still. I'll leave you by my side. Get up."

"The Empress Dowager said a daughter, he can't leave at dusk any longer." Xiujian just came up with breakfast. Seeing that my eyes were red, she thought something had happened. Seeing that I smiled at the empress dowager again, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"You are crying and laughing, and others say that you are a crazy girl." The Empress Dowager joked.

I laughed and said, "That's not the Empress Dowager's scare."

"Oc well, your child is so solid that you will regret it one day." The Empress Dowager said, "Let's have breakfast together first. We have to go to the mountain later."

After finishing the breakfast and serving the empress dowager to read the scriptures, I went up the mountain. Thinking about the Empress Dowager, I don't know if I will regret it, but I know that I can't accept a marriage contract now.

I just walked halfway through the stairs. I wanted to stop and rest, but I saw someone in the forest next to me. When I looked carefully, I couldn't move half a step.

A Xing, what is he doing here? Stand there motionless. It was so cold in the morning in the mountain, but he only wore a dark blue satin.

I don't know whether I should go there or not, but my feet have stepped on the mossy ground, and the wet land has covered my footsteps. It was not until I came to him that he realized that he turned around and looked at me with black eyes. I didn't dare to move anymore.

"I have been in the countryside for a long time, and I have forgotten the rules. I don't know how to salute when I see my master."

With a cold voice and that indifferent look, my heart was frozen and saluted like a puppet.

He didn't say anything and walked deep into the forest, his back blurred in the light fog. I followed his previous line of sight, where I could see the manor under the hazy mountain.

Returning to the stairs, I counted the bluestone steps step by step and walked to the mountain. A Xing, it turns out that our journey is like this. We have all gone through those difficulties and obstacles together, but we can only break up halfway.

When I arrived at Yanshan Temple, as usual, I knelt in front of the Buddha and read the scriptures for a moment, and then walked to the worship table beside me to add oil to the Buddha lamps worshipped by the Empress Dowager. A few tears scratched my cheek and fell into the sesame oil. I untied the good jade stone and put it in the palm of my hand. It was still warm, but he was indifferent. Should I return it to its original owner?

"Twilight girl." Wuran came in from outside the temple.

I saluted and said, "Master Wuran, I'll help the Empress Dowager add sesame oil."

Master Wuran nodded and said, "Miss Mu Nian, the jade in your hand is exactly what the old man gave to the German concubine, right?"

Seeing me nodded, he said, "On that day, Concubine De came to pray for blessings. I saw that she was a blessed person and a person who couldn't overcome the number of disasters, so I gave her three white jade stones, hoping that she could devote herself to overcome the disaster. Since one of the three-life stones has reached the girl's hands, the girl must be blessed.

Sanshengshi, what is Master Wuran talking about? I said, "This is not given to me by the Empress Defei."

"The twilight girl is predestined to these three-life stones, so it's easy to keep it, but there must be a doom with these three-life stones. I don't know if the evening girl can get through it, Amitabha.

"What is the disaster of the master's evening thoughts?"

"This, the old man can't figure it out. The girl only remembers that the world is confused because the mind mirror is unknown. Don't be deceived by what you see with your eyes."

I put the jade stone into my purse and saluted, "I'm stupid. I can't understand what the master said. I just hope I can slowly understand it in the future."

Master Wuran didn't say anything else and turned into the temple.

When I left the temple hall, I saw the fifteenth master standing by the railing of the open space in front of the temple, facing the mountains in the distance. Although we met two days ago, we only nodded and saluted in a hurry and did not say anything.

I walked over and saluted, "Master Fifteen is auspicious."

"This is not in the palace, and there is no one else. What are you talking about?" He didn't turn around and still looked into the distance.

I stepped forward and stood side by side by the carved stone pillar. Looking into the distance, I found that the clouds were gently enveloped in the mountains. In the distance, there were mountains directly inserted into the clouds. The heaven and earth were connected. The scenery was so spectacular and so leisurely, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

"I'm bored in the palace without you." The fifteenth master suddenly said.

I laughed and said, "Can the fifteenth master no longer find a rival? Mu Nian can't believe it."

"The game of chess is not just about the opponent's chess skills." He said.

"Mu Nian, I finally saw you idle," I was about to say something when the tenth master came out of the temple. "I've been so busy these days that I don't even have time to talk."

I saluted and said, "How is the tenth master?"

"Of course, it's good. It's good for you to see that you are here. Grandma is spoiled, and there are not so many rules in the palace."

"Mu Nian is idle, and the tenth master can't." I laughed.

"I'm also an idle person. I'm so busy that they are all princes, the third brother and the fourteenth brother." The tenth master said, "It's comfortable here, and I also want to live here."

"Don't, Master Ten. You live here. Shumo is going to blame me." As soon as I mentioned Shumo, the tenth master only laughed and didn't say anything.

He said that the prince and A Xing were busy, and it seemed that the emperor was suppressing the eighth brother. The fourth master read my letter and adopted my suggestion to show that he was no longer enthusiastic about the court, so the tenth master did not mention the fourth master.

"Girl," Wu Jing came down from the mountain and saluted the tenth and fifteenth masters, "Miss Xiu asked me to come up and have a look and said that the girl would go down quickly if she had nothing to delay. A lot of things were waiting for the girl."

I answered Wu Jing and was ready to salute the tenth master and the fifteenth master. The tenth master pulled me aside and said, "Mu Nian, I saw from the day before yesterday that this boy has a bad heart. You can't have two hearts to the fourteenth brother."

This tenth master can think: "Tenth master, Brother Wu treats me like a sister. What are you talking about? Besides, A Xing..."

"I dare to pat my chest to guarantee my 14th brother's thoughts on you. Don't listen to other people's nonsense."

How can others believe me, but his attitude is in front of me, what can I do?

"Fifth Master, when you find a gap, Mu Nian will play a few more chess games with you. If you have something to do today, Mu Nian will leave first." I didn't say anything to the tenth master. I said goodbye to the fifteenth master and went down the mountain.

As soon as she entered the manor, Xiu silk came forward and said, "Good sister, you have finally come down. All the masters have got up, and those accompanying slaves have changed their ways to torture me. I can't handle this and that later."

"Didn't they tell you that the daily necessities have been allocated and ask the maids of each room to take them?"

"That's good, that's right, that is, those maids want something that we don't have. For example, the warbler on the other side of Defei said that the master must drink nectar in the morning. We didn't have it. She asked her to tell the Empress Defei, but she was determined not to sit in the warehouse and wait for honey." Xiu silk saw that she had suffered a lot of grievances, and the tears in her eyes were about to fall out.

This warbler should be new to the palace. I haven't seen her in the palace before. Except for meals, the owners of each palace have prepared all the food in their own palace. It is thought that the honey brought by the warbler is less or spilled. He has no way to tell Concubine De and block us.

"Let's go and have a look." I took Xiu silk to the warehouse.

"Also, sister, Long live the master said that he should be pious when he begged Buddha. He said that from today on, the master and slaves will be vegetarian. You have to discuss it with Aunt Wu."

There are things everywhere. The dishes that were originally prepared now need to be changed. There are hundreds of people who say that they are vegetarian. How can there be so many cabbages for you to eat? I have a headache when I think about it.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Xiu silk looked at me and rubbed my temples as I walked, and asked worriedly.

"It's okay."

"Crazy girl, you're finally here. Where's my honey? Is the mother still waiting? Yinger came forward and pulled Xiujuan. The day before yesterday, A Xing asked someone to take clothes, and it was her, so I knew her.

"You girl don't know what's good or wrong. You used the empress dowager's people like this. I can tell you that the honey that the Empress Dowager wants to drink must be prepared by you. We don't care about it here. You don't prepare it yourself. If you want to pull us and me to make atone against it, it depends on the face of the Empress Dowager. Xiu silk is bullied by you like this. I don't know if there are too many things to worry about. I looked at Yinger pulling the silk arrogantly, and I was inexplicably angry.

The Yinger was first frightened by my tone of speaking, stunned for a moment, and then realized that she pointed to me and said, "Master De has never scolded me like this. What are you?"

"You and I are all slaves. I just want to remind you that although the Empress Defei has a high status in the harem, you are still a slave. How can you be so arrogant?"

"You...Okay, you wait..."

I didn't find out what I had done wrong until Ying'er left. She was the maid of Defei's palace. Defei didn't want to see me. If Ying'er spoke jealously in front of her, I didn't know how to deal with me. Now I only ask Concubine De to maintain her usual image and not lose her demeanor for the matter of a maid of honor.

But God didn't help me. Xiujuan said, "Sister, you really helped us with a bad breath. The Yinger is extremely arrogant because she is from the German concubine's family. Mei Yan and I don't even bully the slaves of other masters."

Yinger actually made the people of Defei's family. What else do I have to think about? Defei will definitely not let me go. But things still need to be done. I found Uncle Wu and asked him to buy some vegetables in the farm and temple.

As expected, as soon as I finished talking to Uncle Wu, a little eunuch came over and told me that Concubine De wanted me to go to her room. I told Xiujuan to bring the tea to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager must drink tea and use some snacks every morning. Xiuxi looked at me worriedly. I only reassured her and said that Concubine De was a good master and would not embarrass anyone, so she followed the little eunuch to Defei's house.
