Chapter 40 The King of Runan Visits

After dealing with Aunt Li's chores, the eldest wife was a little tired and was about to take a rest when she sent a greeting card. It turned out that both the King of Runan and the Queen are devout worshipers of Buddha. Hearing that there is a fragrant ylang-ylang tree in the backyard of Fu's family, they deliberately Bring Zi Niangzi together and come to watch.

The eldest lady was overjoyed immediately when she received such good news. If she hadn't had a sliver of sanity, she vaguely remembered that the ylang ylang tree belonged to the old lady, so she would have sent the whole tree and the craftsmen who served the tree to Runan immediately. The palace is gone.

It's just that while she was overjoyed, the eldest wife was in trouble again.According to the law, the vassal king and officials of the third rank and above are not allowed to meet in private, so Fu Zhu had to avoid it on the day when King Runan came to visit.Saburo Fu is still young, so he really can't afford such an occasion.Therefore, it has become a difficult problem to invite someone to accompany the prince to visit the garden and enjoy the flowers.Fortunately, the steward who delivered the posts in the Runan Palace was a thoughtful person. He rolled his eyes and said bluntly to the eldest wife: "My prince has always been simple and doesn't like luxury. This time when he is in the palace, my wife can treat her with ordinary courtesy."

The eldest wife sighed ten thousand times, and Chen's mother watched her words and expressions, and gave the steward a few gold coins without fuss by serving snacks.The steward already knew that King Runan had high regard for Fu Shilang, and after getting so much hard-earned money, he became more attentive, and he knew everything and said everything.

As soon as the steward left, the eldest wife got busy on the back.

The prince of Runan is fond of red sandalwood, and he would not sit on anything other than red sandalwood. The eldest wife immediately ordered Aunt Shen to take out the red sandalwood objects collected in the warehouse; The master master of the Zen temple invited to stay at home for a short time...burning incense and watering, white jade chessboard, renovating the garden, and finally invited Mrs. Zhuang who taught the piano art to the first lady.

Mrs. Fu's series of actions quickly reached the ears of the eldest princess, which made Jun Fengxi, a Qing guest in the mansion, very interested, and took the initiative to invite Ying to come to Fu's house to help the eldest lady receive the King of Runan.

The eldest lady couldn't ask for it, Jun Fengxi is the first-class talker in Beijing, and also a famous player in Yiguo.As for the concubine and Zi Niangzi, the eldest wife who was in the circle of noble ladies has full confidence.

……

……

On this day, the door of Fu's house was opened wide, and incense was burned to welcome guests.

Because it was a scorching summer, the eldest wife arranged several carts of ice and put them behind the waterside brocade barrier to cool down.The kitchen has prepared all kinds of iced drinks and snacks, and the rare fruit utensils from the Western Regions are served in glass containers. Rao Zi Niangzi was born in the Jiang family in Taiyuan. Seeing such a grand ceremony in the pavilion, she couldn't help but said to Princess Runan: "The Fu family really I have a heart."

The King of Runan still kept the bodhizi rosary beads in his hand, and came hand in hand with Master Buyu. He saw that the furnishings in the waterside pavilion were made of gold stars and chicken blood red sandalwood, and his jade-like face also showed a touch of kindness. He also saw that the accompanying guests were actually Jun Fengxi couldn't help being surprised, and said: "I didn't find a chance to chat with you at Ayu's place, but I didn't want to meet you in the backyard of Fu's house."

"Fate is so strange. If you ask for it, you can't get it, but when you don't ask for it, it's time."

Jun Fengxi is wearing a robe with a cloud and crane pattern today, and the sleeves are swollen by the wind that is full of water vapor on the lake, which seems to be riding the wind.

Master Buyu also said: "Mountains are mountains, and water is water. Mountains do not wait for water, and water seeks mountains by itself."

The King of Runan couldn't help smiling, and said: "I heard that a few days ago, a rare event happened in Guanyin Temple. In the evening, the sky suddenly became cloudy, and thousands of green lotuses in the lotus pond bloomed and withered in an instant. It sounds like a fantasy. I don't know if it is true. ?”

"It's true, but it's a pity that when I saw it, the green lotus had withered and there was only a pool of residual lotus left. The old man figured out that this pool of green lotus bloomed in full bloom, but he sensed the destiny and specially sent a fellow Daoist soldier from Hengshan Solution. It's a pity, a pity."

Zi Niangzi was innocent and innocent, and said immediately after hearing the words: "Is there really such a thing as immortality and Buddhahood in the world?"

"The universe is so big, there are so many wonders. What you and I know is just a drop in the ocean."

Jun Fengxi smiled, he was already extraordinary, but now he was holding a white jade bone paper fan, his fingers were actually whiter than that of the folding fan.Zi Niangzi was careless again, seeing that he was born well, she said directly: "Master Jun really can afford Qiushui to be a divine jade and a bone, no wonder Your Majesty said you are an exiled immortal."

"Zi Niangzi has won the prize. Feng Xi has only practiced Taoism for many years, and she has achieved a little success. She has the benefit of cutting hair and washing the marrow. In terms of beauty alone, the prince is even better."

"Really? Why do I think Mr. Jun is about the same age as His Highness the Crown Prince?" Princess Runan joked aside.

"Princess Mo Xiao, the Taoist school has the art of retaining the face, and those who get the Tao can live the same life as the heaven and the earth. I may live for hundreds of years, but it's not certain."

"Peng Zu attained the Dao, and his lifespan is eight hundred. Could it be that Mr. Jun is also a master of the Dao?"

It was the jade garland that spoke.She and Yuxin came here gracefully, originally to entertain Princess Runan and Zi Niangzi. She didn't want the prince and Jun Fengxi to meet happily, talking and laughing happily, and had not left yet.But after all, the jade garland is the future prince Liangdi, seeing a foreigner outside the waterside pavilion, she just stopped and didn't feel timid.

Jun Fengxi then knocked on the fan and said with a smile: "The heaven and the earth will also die, and people will naturally die. The way and the way are not the way, it is always a mirror image."

Master Buyu nodded: "There are people with great supernatural powers in Tianzhu who believe that the heaven and earth are just a fantasy dream of the god Brahma. When Brahma enters a dream, it is the world and everything. When Brahma wakes up, it is another world. Therefore, the world is all a dream, and there is no such thing as a dream. one thing."

"What the master said is wrong." The prince stepped forward with his thoughts twisted, and was just about to debate with the silent master, but Princess Runan said: "Could it be that the prince is here today because of the Yilanxiang? Stay here to debate the scriptures." Buddha, the female relatives are going to suffer from heat stroke."

Only then did King Runan find out that because he was standing in front of the waterside pavilion, the two ladies of the Fu family were still exposed to the scorching sun.

As the outsider left, Princess Runan hurriedly invited the two ladies into the waterside pavilion.It was midsummer at this time, the sun was scorching like fire, and the jade garland had a stable temperament, only her cheeks were slightly flushed, and there was no sweat.Yuxin was restless, already profusely sweating, and couldn't wait to munch on iced drinks after entering Shuixiezi.Zi Niangzi saw her bold and unrestrained, suddenly felt that she met her confidant, and said to Princess Runan: "Fifth Niangzi is really naive and cute, I like it as soon as I see it. Auntie, why don't you accept her as a foster daughter, and I will have another younger sister in the future." gone."

Mrs. Fu was secretly happy when she heard it, but she said: "How can this be done?"

However, Princess Runan moved her finger slightly, and flicked a piece of ice slag on Zi Niangzi's face, saying: "You have always been unruly, if you recognize a righteous sister, wouldn't you drive even a good lady into a madman?" lady?"

"My aunt knows how to belittle me."

The purple lady muttered, not displeased, she lifted her skirt and ran all the way to Yuxin's side, patted her on the shoulder, and said boldly: "Fifth lady, if you call me sister, I will ask daddy to give my nerd to you." You are a husband!"

The eldest wife was shocked when she heard the words, the nerd Zi Niangzi spoke of was the eldest son of the Jiang family in Taiyuan.Although the Fu family's vision was much higher because the first lady was selected into the East Palace, they never thought of marrying the fifth lady to the eldest son of the Jiang family.

He hurriedly said to Princess Runan: "There are no taboos in children's words, and there are no taboos in children's words."

Princess Runan said softly: "Zi Niangzi is a child, and she doesn't know how to hide her words, which saves me going around. This time I came to Fu's house, not only because the prince wanted to see the old lady's ylang-ylang tree, but also because The daughter of the Fu family is very virtuous, her appearance and virtue are the top choices, and she is willing to seek a marriage for my natal nephew."

"Your Highness... don't you want to ruin the Fu family."

Such joy fell from the sky, even the eldest wife felt dizzy.But when he was excited, he suddenly thought that the Jiang family in Taiyuan is the first-class clan, and the eldest son of the Jiang family, Princess Yang, came to propose marriage, and naturally he was asking for a legitimate daughter.But Yuxin is young, even if she decides to get married, it will take three to five years to get married. She has long nights and dreams, so changes are inevitable.

Could it be that the Taiyuan Jiang family came to the door this time, condescending and condescending to Li Ci, a concubine who has the status of a concubine?
Thinking of this verse, the eldest wife immediately calmed down, and flickered to ask Princess Runan for confirmation: "The fifth lady is still young, this..."

The implication is self-evident, but Princess Runan is also leisurely, picking black seeds from iced watermelon with an ivory pick, and saying:
"At the peony flower banquet, my sister-in-law had already met the three ladies of the Fu family, and told me in private that the ladies of the Fu family are both talented and virtuous, and she can be a family wife. It's just that the second lady was born a concubine, which is out of character. And the fourth lady is the favorite of the eighth prince. Yes, I dare not overstep. Thinking about it, Wu Niangzi just happens to be the right one. In terms of status, she is the first wife's first sister, which is more than enough for my natal nephew; in terms of appearance and conduct, with the first lady's beautiful jade in front, Wu Niangzi will be beautiful and natural in the future. Thinking about it this way, It's really good."

The words were clear and melodious, and the eldest wife's little heart fell back to its original place.

Just relieved, the eldest lady caught another piece of information leaked by Princess Runan.

"Your Highness just said that His Highness the Eighth Prince is in love with the Fourth Lady?"

"true."

Princess Runan's words were so convincing, the eldest wife couldn't help being suspicious, and said: "I boast that I have good ears and eyes, but I didn't know that His Royal Highness King Yuzhang, whose eyes are above the sky, has a crush on Fourth Lady. It really is—"

"Not many people know about this matter. Even the eldest princess has only scratched the surface."

Princess Runan said proudly, with an unpredictable and profound smile on her amiable face, and Yulan lightly shook her fan to disperse the news that was almost catching wind and shadow.

It's just that Princess Runan can take this incident as a joke, but the eldest wife has a storm in her heart.

King Yuzhang is deeply favored by the emperor. If the rumor of the abolition of the crown prince finally becomes a reality, King Yuzhang will be the closest prince to the throne!
Compared with being welcomed as the main concubine by the king of Yuzhang, what a mere crown prince Liangdi is worth mentioning!

Princess Runan saw that the eldest lady was full of thoughts because of what she said, but she didn't say anything. She lightly shook the palace fan and said to the jade garland: "I see that the first lady looks sad, but the wedding is approaching, and I feel anxious?"

"Men marry and women marry, it is the norms of heaven and earth. A woman obeys her father at home and obeys her husband when she marries. Now that the marriage is settled, the daughter only needs to obey." The first lady shyly said, "But it is inevitable to worry about the marriage. Can the days be as stable and smooth as I thought."

Princess Runan smiled and said: "I was just like you when I was not out of the court. I was worried that I would be in dire straits after marriage. It's just that the parents have their own destiny, so how can the children not follow? It's nothing more than marrying a chicken and following a chicken and marrying a dog following a dog."

Zi Niangzi was young, she clapped her hands and said:

"Auntie is talking nonsense, Father said that you were counting the days eagerly, wishing you could marry right away!"

"Broken mouth!"

Zi Niangzi saw that Princess Runan's words were stern, but her eyes were full of spring, so she ignored her, and said to Chu Mistress: "Don't worry, my lady. I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince has a generous personality and understands taste, he is not such a vulgar man. After the first lady enters the mansion, she must play the piano and the harp in harmony, making others envious."

"Zi Niangzi laughed at me again."

The first lady said shyly, and once again the amorous face that King Yuzhang saw through clairvoyance on the day he returned to the capital appeared before her eyes.

Talking and laughing like this, Zi Niangzi performed singing and dancing again, and the laughter became more and more cheerful.

The cold ice in the Guanshui pavilion melts into water, and the cool breeze blows over the lake, so you don't feel the scorching heat of summer.

Just when the host and guest were enjoying themselves and laughing, there was a commotion in front, with a high-pitched voice, like a messenger in the palace.

The eldest wife didn't dare to be negligent, so she sent the mother-in-law in front of her to investigate.

Not long after, the mother-in-law ran back, followed by Huang Changshi who was in front of the emperor.

All the girls hurriedly stood up to salute, but Huang Changshi said out of breath, "Where is the prince, where is the prince?"

"What is the reason why Chang Shi is looking for the prince?"

"Your Majesty, something serious happened in the palace! Concubine Xian... Concubine Xian..."

Chang Shi was so anxious that he was out of breath, he had already thoughtfully brought tea and brought cushions, the eldest lady asked Huang Changshi to sit down and take a breather, while sending the servant to invite the Prince of Runan.

After a while, the King of Runan hurried over, at this time Huang Changshi had also calmed down, so he explained the affairs in the palace in detail.

It turned out that Concubine Xian was walking in the imperial garden this afternoon, and suddenly slipped and gave birth.Blood flowed all over the ground for a while, Long Zi naturally couldn't keep it, Concubine Xian was also bleeding profusely, and the imperial doctors were busy but unable to recover.The Empress Dowager has fainted in a hurry, and the Emperor hastily summoned the princes to return to the palace.

"Where is the king of Changsha?"

The King of Changsha is the son of the Empress Dowager, so naturally he cannot be missing.However, the king of Changsha left Beijing to return to his fief the day before yesterday, and he has been driving for more than two days.

"Order the Imperial Army to chase after him eight hundred miles away. Your Majesty's original words are that the King of Changsha cannot be recovered before sunset, and they don't have to return to the palace to return."
