Chapter 311

In the open space in front of the queen's bedroom, a huge scripture platform was set up. On the easternmost side of the scripture platform was a three-foot-long and half-foot-wide altar, on which was placed a seated figure of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and a bronze incense burner in front of the altar, surrounded by incense.One hundred and eight eminent monks from various monasteries sat cross-legged on the sutra platform, the sutra flags were unfurled, and the magical instruments were burning.

The sun is rising in the sky, and there are many rays of light. Such a backdrop, don't have a majestic momentum.

Jin Xi raised his eyes for a few glances, then followed everyone to the side hall of Kunning Palace with concentrated eyes.I secretly rejoiced that men and women were different, and the female relatives did not have to sit in the courtyard with the monks to bask in the sun, and there was more or less a temple roof to shelter from the wind and dust.

The east and west side halls are filled with low tables, and behind the short tables is a large worship mat.There is a small name tag on each short table, with the name of the person written on it, and everyone just needs to be seated according to the number.

Jin Xi took a quick glance and found his own seat in the West Side Hall. Although he was leaning into the corner, he was next to the window, so he couldn't walk around. The advantage was that the ventilation was good, and he could smell the faint scent of cinnamon in the yard.

Although according to her status, she should have a better position, but she is too young, and it is really inappropriate to compete with a group of gray-haired grand ladies.In comparison, this position is neither good nor bad, it is the most appropriate.Obviously, the person who arranged the seats put his heart into it.

Surrounded by some unknown elderly women, when they saw her approaching, they all smiled as a greeting, with a sense of alienation in their politeness.

Jin Xi didn't know any of these people, and they were all wearing ordinary clothes, so she couldn't guess their grades from their clothes.At this time, it is better to be quiet than to move. Since he has no intention of making friends, of course she can't take the initiative to strike up a conversation.He nodded slightly and returned a polite smile.

The auspicious time to leave the scriptures was still early, and the familiar ladies gathered together in twos and threes, talking softly.Jin Xi sat alone behind the low table, holding a teacup and savoring it carefully.

After the rain, the teacup with azure-colored kiln-cleaned noodle made the light clear mountain and green water more transparent. Jin Xi glanced at his own reflection on the tea surface and gave a silent wry smile. At this time, he could see the importance of the circle up.Although she didn't care if she was squeezed out, but in the long run, it would definitely be unfavorable for Qin Xiao who re-established the mansion.

In the long run, it will also be detrimental to her future children.

But this kind of thing can't be changed in a day or two. If she got up rashly and got in now, not only would she not be able to blend in with these people, but it would be a joke.

She was lowering her head in thought, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of the corner of the skirt in front of her, and someone walked up to her and stopped.Jin Xi looked up and saw Jin Xiu looking at her with a sad face.

Seeing her looking over, Jinxiu hurriedly said: "Sixth sister, can I sit with you? Mother's seat is too far in the back, I can't breathe!" While talking intentionally or unintentionally, she put her hands on her lower back and walked forward Stretch your stomach.

Everyone who was talking softly fell silent instantly, and countless pairs of eyes fell on the two of them.

At this moment, Jin Xi really wanted to pick up the scripture book in hand and pat it on Jin Xiu's head.If you want to die, I will not stop you, but can you look at the place before you die?Can you think a little bit before you speak?

Do you mean we are squeezed behind a short table, or should I give you the seat?Either way, it's against the rules.

In the eyes of everyone watching the play, Jin Xi said lightly: "Third sister is not satisfied with the seat, she should go to Nanny Gui to discuss it, this matter is not up to me!"

"Sixth Sister..." Jinxiu Qiqi Ai Ai called out, and the tears came down, which was easier than pulling them out of her arms. "It's all my fault, I'm causing you trouble!"

Rao said so, but didn't move his feet, and stood in front of Jinxi, covered himself with a handkerchief and wept softly.The plain moon-blue jacket paired with the moon-white horse-face skirt without the slightest color, coupled with the cries that could not make a sound, Jinxiu is like a small white flower swaying in the wind, how pitiful it is How pitiful.

In contrast, Jin Xi, who refused to give up her seat, looked a little hideous and bullying.

Jin Xi looked at her indifferently, and felt strange in her heart, Jin Xiu jumped up and down and spared no effort to smear herself, what benefit could she get?Not to mention the official principle of family unity, even if she gave her the seat out of embarrassment, would she be able to sit comfortably?

Which of these noble ladies in the palace is easy to provoke?You are just a mere gentleman of five grades, probably the lowest grade among this group of people, you are sitting by the window majestically, do you want to piss others off, or do you want to make yourself a living target?
"It's my fault, Sixth Sister, don't be as knowledgeable as I am!" Jinxiu cried and apologized to Jinxi with sobs, and it became more and more obvious that Jinxi was unreasonable.

Jin Xi laughed suddenly, stood up and picked up some scriptures on the table, "Sisters, what is there to worry about? Third sister wants to sit here, so sit down!" I want to see if you can sit comfortably!
I didn't expect Jinxi to be so easy-going, Jinxiu was taken aback, and looking back, Jinxi had already stepped out of the palace gate, heading towards the East Side Hall where Zhou Yunying was.

Zhou Yunying was talking with a white-haired lady with a dignified face, when she saw Jin Xi walking straight towards her, she was taken aback, said no to the old lady, came over, and said doubtfully, "Immediately!" It's time for menstruation, why are you here?"

"Third Sister said she was pregnant and it was uncomfortable to sit in the corner, so she asked me to change seats with her." Jinxi raised her eyebrows and slightly raised her voice, no matter whether Zhou Yunying knew what Jinxiu was doing, the daughter-in-law was so presumptuous, so she did nothing. The mother-in-law must know, right?

Zhou Yunying's face turned dark, and she cursed secretly for this careless troublemaker who doesn't take a piss to take care of herself, what kind of virtue is it? Are the seats arranged by the Lin Division in the Ministry of Rites randomly changed?
The noble ladies who could come to chant sutras were all human beings, and when they saw Jin Xi coming in, they all secretly paid attention.After listening to her words, some unkind ones couldn't help whispering.

The old woman who was talking to Zhou Yunying just now frowned, and said to Zhou Yunying: "After entering the palace, we only talk about national etiquette and not family routines. Although Mrs. Wu and Princess Yueyi are sisters of the same clan, it is against the rules to do so!"

"Madam is right! I'm going to get her back now!" Zhou Yunying's face was as swollen as eggplant's, but she had to respond to the woman with a contemptuous smile.

Jin Xi guessed that this woman was probably Dong Shi, the wife of the shogunate.Mu Guogong is a generation of famous generals who are as famous as Shen Da, and most of the generals in the army now have inextricable relationships with the Mu family.In detail, Wu Shiheng, the coach who attacked Qiucha this time, was a member of the Mu family. No wonder Zhou Yunying obeyed Mrs. Dong's words.

Zhou Yunying did obey Mrs. Dong, turned around and walked out.It is so happy, on the one hand, it is to respect Mrs. Dong, and more importantly, it is because it does not want Jinxiu to continue to embarrass herself outside!
But as soon as she walked to the door, she heard a clear bell ringing on the sutra platform outside, followed by a burst of sutra drums.The auspicious time for chanting has come, and it's too late for her to go find Jinxiu now.

Everyone immediately sat down and opened the scriptures with lowered eyebrows, but their ears were all propped up, waiting to see where Jin Xi was sitting.

The majestic princess, once waiting for his wife, can't even keep a seat, which is considered incompetent to the limit!

In the blink of an eye, the sutra drums outside rang again, and some mages had already begun to chant the mantra of purifying the altar.It would be disrespectful to move around at this time!

"This..." Zhou Yunying turned around and looked at Jinxi in a hurry, wondering if she should be wronged in Jinxiu's position?
Mrs. Dong seemed to have seen through Zhou Yunying's mind, she spoke first, and said to Jinxi: "I am getting old, and my eyesight is not good enough to read Buddhist scriptures clearly, can I ask the princess to sit next to me and remind me?"

Jin Xi immediately nodded and said yes, can it be alright?They gave her such a big step, if she didn't follow it, she would be asking for trouble!
Besides, she just wanted Zhou Yunying to treat Jinxiu more strictly and not to disturb her, she didn't want to include herself in it.

Jin Xi responded with a deep salute to Mrs. Dong, and walked forward behind her.As Mrs. Dong, the seat is naturally the best in the East Side Hall.Mrs. Dong walked to her seat and glanced slightly to the left.A young woman with an oval face sitting on her left immediately picked up her Buddhist scriptures, got up and smiled at Jinxi, and walked quickly to Zhou Yunying.

Giving up his seat to others in front of everyone, and still smiling so innocently, Jin Xi inexplicably has a crush on this young woman.At the same time, he also admired Mrs. Dong's prestige.

At the same time, he sighed slightly, such a high status, it would be nice to just find an excuse to push it away, why bother to come and suffer this.

I really don't know if Mrs. Dong has feelings for the queen, or if she is just bored and wants to join in the fun?
Jin Xi took his seat and washed his mouth with tea, just as the drum for the third Dharma sounded.Without squinting, she gently opened the scriptures, and began to chant along with Elder Jingci, the abbot of the Huguo Temple outside.

First the Ksitigarbha Sutra, and then the Peace Sutra, no matter which sutra, Jin Xi recited it very carefully.Others prayed for the queen, but she begged the Bodhisattva to bless Qin Xiao to return safely...

It took more than two hours for everyone to finish reciting several thick Buddhist scriptures.There was another sound of Dharma drums, and the Buddhist service in the morning came to an end.

As soon as the drums fell, Zhou Yunying was the first to rush out.Looking at her back, he purposely laughed out of a heartless heart.No need to ask, this must be rushing to Xipei Hall to settle accounts with her uneasy daughter-in-law!

Laughing, Mrs. Dong was present, no one dared to make irresponsible remarks in person, they all packed up their Buddhist scriptures and got up to go out.

Mrs. Dong glanced at Jin Xi, and stood up slowly. The young woman who had given up her seat to Jin Xi walked quickly to support her, and walked out of the room slowly.

Jin Xi deliberately stayed behind the crowd, quietly rubbing her numb legs, and only after everyone had left, she limped out with the support of the short couple.

Kneeling sutras is also a subject of knowledge, otherwise, everyone else is fine, why is she the only one who is limping like this?

Limping to the door, the young woman who helped Mrs. Dong out of the house just now suddenly appeared in front of her, and smiled softly at Jinxi, "Grandmother, please go over to the princess!"

Please me?Jin Xi was taken aback for a moment, thinking of Mrs. Dong's notoriously rigid and severe temper, she instantly had a headache...
