Chapter 60

On the second day, the blessing officially began.

Empress Dahang, whose surname is Xue, and Emperor Xuanwu were a young couple. They supported each other and accompanied each other for more than [-] years, and they had a deep relationship.

Although there were four concubines and nine concubines in Emperor Xuanwu's harem, none of them could compare to Empress Xue's position in his heart.

This time, the water and land dojo was extremely solemn and grand because it was Empress Xue's birthday.

The female relatives, led by Concubine Ning and Concubine Xian from the palace, prayed in the main hall for four hours a day. They had to copy the sutras in person in the evening and use them for worship the next day.

It takes half a month to pray, and the water and land ashram officially begins half a month later.

Pray for four hours, two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon.

Although there is a futon under the knees, it is not comfortable for the pampered female family members.

What's more, I have to copy scriptures at night.

Copying scriptures needs to be pious and conscientious, with neat handwriting and no perfunctory work, and it will take an hour or two.

In this way, six hours a day are spent on praying. Excluding eating, drinking and sleeping, there is much less time for rest. Praying for blessings and copying scriptures still requires 12 energy.

After only two days, some of the female family members looked haggard and looked like they could no longer hold on.

Concubine Ning and Concubine Xian are both old and a little tired.

But they are role models for female family members, and they have to hold on when they are tired, otherwise no one can bear it if the hat of disrespecting the Queen of Daxing is knocked down.

Yu and Xie Zhaozhao, two people with "reckless" backgrounds, had been in the army for many years. They had good endurance and good health, but they had always been able to hold on steadily.

After praying for blessings on the afternoon of the third day, Xie Zhaozhao and Yu returned to the Zen monastery to prepare for copying scriptures.

Along the way, he couldn't avoid walking with Dou and Xie Xingchen.

Mrs. Dou also looked very haggard, and it was obvious that her pampered body could not bear the strain.

Xie Xingchen looked haggard, his delicate face a little pale, but his back was straight and his eyes were deep and quiet like autumn water.

When she arrived in the yard, she looked at Xie Zhaozhao and said, "Third sister, I will copy scriptures with you later."

"Okay." Xie Zhaozhao nodded in agreement.

When they entered the Zen room, Mrs. Yu frowned and said, "Why did you agree to her that you would copy scriptures with her? Wouldn't it make you upset?"

"No." Xie Zhaozhao smiled: "I'm too tired from praying these past two days. Mom, go to bed early today and I'll help you copy scriptures."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Yu's expression softened a little, but her words were tactful, "Are you too tired?"

"Of course not." Xie Zhaozhao pushed Yu towards the bed, "You have forgotten that I am only good at calligraphy, chess, calligraphy and painting, and my writing is not bad. I copy scriptures and meditate, how can I be tired?"

Regarding the matter of copying scriptures, the female relatives in each monastery also helped each other to copy the scriptures. Everyone knew it tacitly and would not make an issue out of it.

Yu thought for a while and realized that her handwriting was not very good-looking, and offering it to Queen Daxing would probably stain her eyes, so she nodded in agreement.

Xie Zhaozhao saw that Mr. Yu had rested, so he went back to his Zen room and told Xianggui to prepare the four treasures of the study.

After a while, Xie Xingchen came.

"Three sisters."

"Second sister."

The two of them called each other perfunctorily, and Xie Zhaozhao motioned for the maid to step back and sit opposite Xie Xingchen at the table.

Both of them started copying scriptures.

After a while of silence, Xie Xingchen slowly said: "How are you going to help me?"

"It depends on how much the second sister wants to get." Xie Zhaozhao copied the scriptures carefully, "After all, this is your own business. I can't do it all by myself. If you want to get something, you have to give something."

Xie Xingchen said: "I want him to marry me as his official wife!"

"This is not a difficult task." Xie Zhaozhao said: "Now this water and land dojo is a good opportunity. It depends on whether my sister will risk it or not." "How?" What?"

Xie Zhaozhao kept writing sharply, and he was able to deal with Xie Xingchen easily while copying scriptures: "I still have an engagement with Chu Nanxuan. Your affairs with him are kept secret and no one else knows."

"If others know that you are a couple, then of course nothing will happen to me."

Xie Xingchen said in a deep voice: "But this is the water and land dojo of Queen Daxing. If you expose the affair between your children at this time, you will lose your life if you are accused!"

She was so angry that night that she vowed to make Chu Nanxuan marry her openly.

But how easy is this?

As for the marriage between Chu Nanxuan and Xie Zhaozhao granted by the imperial decree, there was nothing she could do about it.

How could Emperor Xuanwu take back his golden words?

She had no choice but to approach Xie Zhaozhao without hesitation, but in fact, she was mostly just trying to test him.

She wanted to see if Xie Zhaozhao was sincere in helping.

She would only consider the method if it worked. If Xie Zhaozhao took the opportunity to harm her, then naturally she wouldn't be able to.

It’s just that what Xie Zhaozhao said now sounds like a completely bad idea, and I think she is an idiot!
Only then did Xie Zhaozhao raise his eyes: "It is true that at this time, others will lose their lives if they reveal the affair between their children, but the matter between you and Chu Nanxuan will not."

"How to say?"

"Your surname is Xie." Xie Zhaozhao said calmly: "You are the legitimate daughter of the second wife of the Xie family. My father is holding me in front. Who dares to take your life? And don't forget that Chu Nanxuan is the son of General Pengcheng. .”

"General Pengcheng died to save the current Holy One. The Holy One personally gave the Chu family an iron ticket to avoid death."

"Second sister, do you still remember the last time Chu Nanxuan was involved in inferior ordnance? He was released lightly without even suffering any physical pain."

"But all the officials involved in the issue of inferior ordnance six months ago were executed."

"After this comparison, can't you see the importance of the Chu family and the Xie family?"

Xie Xingchen bit his lip, showing hesitation.

Of course she knew the importance of the Xie family, and she also understood that Chu Nanxuan had a bright future.

But she was afraid that if she could avoid being punished with death, she would not be able to escape the punishment of life. When the time comes, things between her and Chu Nanxuan would not work out, but she would suffer the consequences herself.

Xie Zhaozhao added: "Actually, you don't have to be so timid. My father has always been very protective of my second wife. How could I possibly cause you to be wronged?"

"Besides, Youdao is about finding wealth through danger. You want to have a good future, but don't want to take risks?"

Xie Xingchen was very moved by these words.

Yes.

Uncle Xie Wei has rarely caused his second wife to suffer injustice in recent years. He feels guilty towards Xie Xingchen's father, Xie Qing.

Xie Wei would never see anything happen to her.

The Chu family had an iron ticket to avoid death, and Emperor Xuanwu was very fond of Chu Nanxuan, but it was not necessarily fatal.

Maybe it's the same thing as inferior ordnance, there's a near miss.

You can really give it a try.

only--

Xie Xingchen suddenly looked at Xie Zhaozhao, "If you persuade me to do this, what good will it do to you? I don't believe you really want to help me!"

The world is full of goodwill, and the world is all good.

No one does good deeds for no reason.

What's more, Xie Zhaozhao and Chu Nanxuan were childhood sweethearts and had a deep love for each other. They both put on wedding clothes and wanted to get married!
