Chapter 161 Three Princesses of One Country

"Congratulations, Princess Lou." Outside the yard, Eunuch Wei smiled happily. When he saw Lou Yunshang coming out of the room, his face was full of flowers on his face. He came forward to help her. "Please get in the car. Let the emperor and the empress wait for a long time. The old slave can't afford to be offended."

Yunshang was surprised and said, "What, is the Queen also here today?" As she spoke, she drilled into the sedan chair. Eunuch Wei whispered next to her, "No, today is definitely your good day, a big day, and oh, this good thing was facilitated by the Empress." Yunshang heard that she didn't understand the mystery in the cloud, and it was not convenient to ask in detail. She waved goodbye to Gu Zitao, who was full of eager eyes, and sat in a sedan chair sent by the Duke of Wei. Anyway, she had planned to go, so she simply went to the place to see the situation.

In today's Silver Screen Hall, there is really a little difference. Outside the door of the hall, a big red newspaper was posted, on which the names of the first-class outstanding students and second- and third-class outstanding students in this assessment were painted with gold. Each golden name represents the honor and loss of a family. Yunshang got off the sedan chair, and Eunuch Wei came over with a smile, "Little princess, please wait a moment, and Mr. Rong will inform you."

It still needs to be reported. It seems that there are all the most important people in today's Silver Screen Hall. Yunshang nodded, "There is a father-in-law."

After the announcement of Eunuch Wei, Yunshang was immediately invited in. When she arrived at the Silver Screen Hall, Yunshang fell to her knees. Sure enough, she saw the Empress sitting next to the emperor with a string of Buddha beads in her hand, sitting next to the queen. It was Feng Ziqi's mother who she saw in the small garden last time, Concubine Zhou, her There are also two unknown concubines around. It seems that these are the four concubines of the Dafeng Dynasty. It's just that one of the concubines died early, so her seat was empty.

Yunshang saw that they were all neatly dressed in palace clothes. He even guessed that something big was going to happen today. He quickly kowtowed up and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen and the Fourth Concubine."

The queen liked her very much. She was the first to open her mouth and stretched out her hand with a gold armor and raised her void, "Get up."

The emperor also smiled and nodded to her, "Wing up and reply."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yunshang stood up and raised her heart. To be honest, she didn't like this kind of battle at all. People said, talk more, make more mistakes, and it's better to be silent than ten words. She had thought about it. As long as it was not for the emperor to ask several nobles, she would never say a word more, so as not to cause trouble for herself and get into trouble. The bitterness of the last killing was clear to her.

"The eldest son of the Lu family, Lord Lu Jin met Tianyan." As soon as she stood up, the little bodyguard outside shouted again. Yunshang was more or less calm in her heart. She thought that Lu Jin was the most calm person. When he came, he was more self-intentional. When Lu Jin saw the emperor and the queen, Yun Shang unconsciously glanced at him and handed over, which meant Yes, Brother Lu, it's all up to you in a moment. Lu Jin did not refuse, but smiled and nodded slightly.

"Both of you are first-class students in the examination of this year's Tai College. Wen Tao's martial arts are the best in the college, especially Lou Yunshang. The answer to your Buddhist science course makes the queen love it." The emperor said and looked at the queen beside him with a smile. The rosary in the queen's hand shook the long ears and hit a string of sedstalks, which were moving with her movements.

The queen nodded, "Yes, I read your answer book and like it very much. Come on, come on, take a look. How about this string of rosary beads in my palace? After she finished speaking, she handed her wrist forward. Yunshang looked puzzled and saluted first, "Yunshang has passed." After saying that, she went up to the jade steps and carefully checked the rosary on the queen's wrist. She first took the rosary from the queen's hand, put it on her hand, and then put it under her nose to sniff it. She had never found anything wrong. However, since the queen asked this question, this string of beads must have its strangeness. So she cheered up and watched carefully. Her fingers twisted each bead one by one. When it came to the last one, Yunshang's hand suddenly moved and frowned.

When the queen saw her look, she said, "How about this string of beads?"

Although the emperor didn't say anything, he kept looking at her with his eyes. Just being stared at by the emperor of a country like this, this huge sense of oppression was enough to make Yunshang's heart beat faster.

After thinking for a long time, Yunshang bit her teeth and said what she saw, "Queen, please forgive Yunshang first."

Lu Jin's face changed. What's the situation? Did the emperor and the queen gather the two of them today, not to reward, but to embarrass them? After passing her, will it be her turn? When he thought so, he became nervous.

The queen smiled and said faintly, "Let's talk about it. Well, I won't blame you."

Yunshang had a bottom in her heart and said boldly, "The beads in the Queen's hand are the best and good objects. The top Buddha beads are 108, the tantric walkers are 110, the middle grade is 54, and the rest are 42, 21 and 14 pure earth, 36 pure earth, 18 Zen, etc.

The number of Buddha beads has its own meaning: 1080 grains, including 108 of the ten Dharma realms; 108 grains, which represent simple 108 kinds of troubles, or 108 Buddha's merits, or 108 kinds of infinite samadhi, etc.; 54 grains, which represent the realm of self-cultivation; 42 grains, indicating residence, travel, direction. , earth and other Bodhisattva's order; 27 grains, representing the 27 sages of sound and hearing; 21 grains, which represent the original ten places and ten places and Buddha fruits of self-cultivation in Buddhism; 14 grains, indicating the fourteen ninja (three sages, ten saints plus enlightenment) mentioned in the Renwang Sutra. The remaining 36 and 18th grade Buddha beads are only one-third or one-sixth of the 108 numbers for the convenience of carrying, and some are the thirty-six heavenly or eighteen magical changes of the outer Tao. There is no other meaning. The rosary is a kind of Buddhist object. It is a tool used to count when reciting Buddha's names or mantras, so it is also called "Buddha beads" or "counting beads". However, the mother's string of beads is missing one, so it can't be called a sacred product.

After she finished speaking, the queen's face changed. When a concubine beside her saw the queen's face change, she immediately scolded, "What a bold girl, the queen is the golden nobleman of a hundred birds and phoenixes. How can she worship the Buddha with a string of incomplete beads that have lost beads?"

Yunshang suddenly knelt down on the ground in fear, but did not plead, but bowed his head and said nothing.

Lu Jin stood in the middle of the hall, secretly clenched his fist in his sleeve, and squeezed a cold sweat for her.

Some people were frightened here. Some people were thinking about ghost ideas in the box. At the main gate of the Butterfly Water Palace, Huang Pingtai saw that the little princess was going to come out in person, so he did not dare to stay outside and walked in directly. He and the little princess had not seen each other for three years. For this little princess, Huang Pingtai can be said to treat her as his own. He is a waiter. He is infertile and at this age, so he has a special feeling and sustenance for the child he takes care of. He completely pinned all his hopes on her and regards her as his own relatives. Treat it like having a baby.

When Feng Zixiang saw him, his head was full of silver hair. His heart was sore, and tears rolled out. He twitched up and pulled up his hand, "Eunuch Huang, I haven't seen you for a few years. Why have become like this? Are those people in the cemetery embarrass you?

As soon as Huang Pingtai saw her shed tears, he couldn't control his emotions. Then he shed a few tears. Before saying anything, he first lamented, "Oh, little princess, this is really a child without a mother. It's a long story. If it hadn't been for the little princess, you would have been around for the old slaves to guard and manage the cemetery. There is life. How can you be reunited here with the little princess today? The old slave thanked the little princess for her life. With that, he had to kneel down.

Feng Zixiang quickly held him and said, "Eunuch Huang, you brought me up. Haven't we been like relatives for a long time? Don't say such polite words to me!"

Huang Pingtai raised his sleeve to wipe his tears, held Feng Zixiang's arm and said, "Little princess, I came to see you as soon as I came back this time. Because I heard such a thing on the way to the palace, I wanted to ask the little princess about you."

"Come on, give me a seat. Come on, Grandpa Huang, let's sit down and talk slowly. When Feng Zixiang saw that her confidant came back safely, she was also much more at ease. For the time being, she left behind the matter of Lou Yunshang's seizing the limelight. She planned to wait until she had time and had a chance to breathe.

"Eunuch Huang, what have you heard about? Are you in such a hurry to tell me?" Feng Zixiang was so smart. As soon as he saw Huang Pingtai say something at the beginning, he knew that there was something wrong with the designation, so he asked directly.

"Well, when the old slave returned to the capital, he heard someone say on the road that this time there was a great female student in Tai College, surnamed Lou, named Lou Yunshang, is there any?"

Feng Zixiang frowned and thought, has this Lou Yunshang become so famous? Even Huang Pingtai, who has just returned to the capital for one night, has heard of it? It seems that the rumors between the streets must be that this woman is a fairy-like person.

She thought about such a thing in her heart, and naturally had an unnatural look on her face. Huang Pingtai, who had been watching her grow up, immediately understood her thoughts and smiled, "Don't worry, the little princess. The old slave came up with a good idea on the way to the Butterfly Water Palace. This method is absolutely for you, the little princess. Yes, it's appropriate."

"Oh? Mr. Huang, please listen to it." Feng Zixiang suddenly became interested. At this time, she was at a time when she was struggling. If someone who understood could give her some advice, it must be the best thing.

Huang Pingtai smiled, and the wrinkles on his face were piled up in one place, but he was not in a hurry to answer Feng Zixiang's question. Instead, he looked at the little maids and the little servants around him with the afterglow of the corners of his eyes. Feng Zixiang immediately dismissed these servants and said respectfully, "Eunuch Huang, there are no outsiders at this time. If you have anything to say, please be straight. Say it."

Huang Pingtai smiled again, showed a little cunning, and said in a low voice, "Little princess, you are a good princess in the Butterfly Water Palace all day long. I'm afraid you don't know that there is a great thing in the Dafeng Dynasty that is about to happen!"

Huang Pingtai said that her hair was creepy. She couldn't sit still and stood up and said, "What is it?"

Seeing her nervous look, Huang Pingtai was even more proud. The information he locked was top-secret information that even the imperial relatives in the palace did not know!

He came over and whispered in Feng Zixiang's ear, "Dafeng Dynasty, you will soon make peace with Xiliang Kingdom!"
