Rich and wishful

Chapter 69 Birthday
Lijun Palace in the capital.

Small Buddha Hall

Princess Jiang, holding a Buddhist bead, silently knelt in front of the white jade Avalokitesvara Buddha statue with a clean bottle in her hand, chanting Buddhist scriptures devoutly and doing morning lessons.

She has persisted in the habit of getting up at Mao time (5:7 am to 3:5 am) every day for an hour of morning class.Today she even woke up early at the beginning of Yin ([-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] am), and then couldn't fall asleep anyway, so she simply got up and entered the small Buddhist hall early.

Speaking of which, today is not a special day for other people, but it is special for the people in their county palace.

Today is October [-]th, the birthday of her little daughter Han Xi who was lost when she was just over two years old.The loss of the youngest daughter was not an accident, but a man-made disaster.Thinking back then, the hatred in Jiang's eyes was still strong, even though the culprit had committed suicide by taking poison.But her little daughter was never found again.The mansion also almost gave up searching.So until now, no one knows what the situation of the proud girl of heaven, who was supposed to be well-clothed and grew up in a heap of brocades surrounded by maids, is now?
When she gave birth to her youngest daughter, she had a small Ruyi birthmark on her wrist.So the nickname is Ruyi, and her wish is to hope that everything goes well for her.

She still remembers what the eminent monk said when she asked the eminent monk to give Ruyi orders.The eminent monk said that her little daughter's birth mother, Liwang, can also bring good luck to the birth mother, but it is a pity that their mother and daughter have a poor relationship.

At first she heard that she mistakenly thought that her daughter's lifespan was hindered, so she hurriedly asked, but the eminent monk shook his head and refused to say more.

Because there was an eminent monk's order before her, she was really worried, fearing that the nanny and girl under her would not take good care of her, so she kept a close eye on her and did everything by herself.

In those two years, she really felt that everything went well.Even because of the arrival of the younger daughter, the husband finally slowly began to change his mind, no longer staying with his new favorite all day long, but often staying in her room.Amusing his daughter has also become one of his favorite things.

Just when she was getting better and better, she felt that her little daughter was indeed the lucky star in her life.Unprepared, the accident just happened.

That day, because she wanted to enter the palace to celebrate the birthday of the noble concubine in the palace, she had to get up early and put on makeup. When she left Ruyi, she was sleeping soundly on her little bed.She still remembers that when she kissed her little face full of joy, she smelled the frankincense fragrance from her body.

She was afraid that she would cry if she woke up and couldn't see her, so she urged the nanny and the waiters to coax her more.I thought it was only a day's short parting, but it turned out that it has been a full 25 years since then, and there is still no news.

After the incident that year, she felt that the sky was falling.Although the culprit was quickly found out, the bitch refused to reveal Ruyi's whereabouts, and even took poison to death while others were not prepared.And the nanny was poisoned by her long ago.

It turned out that after being slowly neglected by her husband, that bitch felt unwilling.I also heard about the order of the eminent monk from nowhere, and felt that it was her wishes that hindered her.She felt that only by removing Ruyi would she have a chance to be favored by her husband again.So after planning for a long time, he took advantage of the nanny's weakness and threatened her to secretly take Ruyi away and throw it away.In the past, because she watched too closely, they couldn't find a chance to make a move until that day when she was about to enter the palace.

……

Xianggong was greatly stimulated by this incident, and he personally led the interrogation.At that time, she didn't care about anything anymore, all she could think about was finding her wish.She almost went crazy when she knew that bitch would rather die than reveal Ruyi's whereabouts.

After being hit hard, Xianggong also dismissed all the concubines, and from then on he only focused on her.To this day, he has only her and no concubines.Over the years, he has become more and more interested in her.But she couldn't be happy anymore, she didn't want anything, she just wanted her Ruyi to come back to her.

That year, the Lijun Palace sent a large number of people to search, but they found nothing. They searched for a whole year and spent countless manpower and financial resources. They gave up when they were really helpless, and only a few people continued to search in secret.But after so many years, there is still no news of her Ruyi, and she has not been able to find it so far.

Are they really mother-daughter?

The search was fruitless, so she pinned her hopes on the eminent monk who gave Ruyi orders, and begged her many times to make various promises, but the eminent monk only saw her once, only shook his head and sighed, and did not say a word. .After that, he never wanted to see her again, and only let the little novice tell her to do more good deeds, so as to accumulate evil virtue for his little daughter.

It was also at that time that she got used to worshiping the Buddha every day. She even promised in front of the Buddha that as long as she found her wish, she would donate 5 taels of silver to rebuild the main hall of the Huguo Temple and cast a golden body for the Buddha.

These years, she has spent a large amount of money every year to do good deeds, such as giving porridge, building bridges, and helping orphans, widows, old and young... She is also kind to the servants in the mansion on weekdays, especially to those little maids who sold themselves into the mansion at a young age. They are kind and patient, never beat or scold easily, and don't want others to beat and scold them at will, let alone commit murder or something.She only hoped that what she did would be good for her wishes, at least so that she could live in peace even if she was just a simple meal.

It has been 25 years in a blink of an eye. These years, she often wakes up from nightmares in the middle of the night, and then cannot sleep all night.She didn't dare to think about what might happen to her Ruyi, and she didn't even dare to think about whether she was still alive in this world?Such worries and fears were like knives stabbing her heart day and night.Keep her restless.

As she gets older, she worries more and more. She is really afraid that she will not be able to see the little daughter she misses so much on the day she closes her eyes.

At this time, the maids and women standing outside the house all looked very solemn and vigilant, not daring to make a sound for fear of disturbing the people in the house.

The old people who have served in the mansion for a long time know what day it is today, even the newcomers who have just entered the mansion will be reminded by the steward. The masters, especially the old lady are not happy.

Although the masters would never punish their servants on such a special day as today, and they will not settle accounts after autumn because of this.But what is more terrifying than punishment is that committing crimes on this day will make the masters pay more than ten times more attention than usual, and it is certain that they will remember themselves and hate themselves because of this.

Even if the masters in the mansion don't beat and scold easily, let alone beat and kill servants casually, they are very kind.But what good can a person who is hated by his master do?The final result is that after a period of time, the person in charge found the wrong place and sent it away.

You have to know how many families in the capital can live a better life than their servants in the Lijun Prince's Mansion?To be sent out is not only to be laughed at, but also to lose face to grandma's house.It will also make people feel distressed.Such a good master, where can such a good welfare be easily met again?There are many nobles in the capital, but most of them have bad tempers.

So not to mention the slaves and servants who are cautious not only dare not make trouble on this day of the year, but also work harder than usual.Those who have been serving the old lady for a long time will automatically wake up at least an hour earlier than usual when this day comes, just because they are afraid that the old lady will not be able to sleep and get up early.

It can't be that the master is all up, and the servants are still sleeping soundly on the high bed and soft pillows, right?Of course, if this day passes smoothly, the benefits are not without.At least it is a reward of one month's money.

Not only the servants look forward to this day every year to live smoothly, even the big and small masters of the family, including the most noisy ones on weekdays, only missed the house all day long, fearless even his father almost The third young master, who was dissatisfied, also obediently did not dare to act rashly on this day.Not to mention anything else, not only did she not dare to cause trouble this time, she even walked lightly and lightly.
