Emperor Xuanwu Yuan Ke likes to worship Buddha very much on weekdays.

He often invited the nun Master Hu to the palace to give lectures.

"Master Hu, how do you think we can bring the world to its heart?" Xuanwu Emperor Yuan Ke asked.

"Of course, we need to love the people." Master Hu said with a smile.

"I've always asked myself, and I'm already very caring for the people. Why didn't the people of the Southern Dynasties come to join our Wei State? Emperor Xuanwu Yuan Ke said with a smile.

"Your Majesty is not so religious. In this way, the people of the Southern Dynasty also believed in Buddhism. If Your Majesty can protect the Dharma. Then the people of the Southern Dynasty will also defect to Your Majesty. Master Hu said with a smile.

Xuanwu Emperor Yuan Ke nodded thoughtfully.

After Master Hu said goodbye to Emperor Xuanwu, he met Yuancheng, the king of Rencheng, outside the palace.

"Master Hu. The Lone King heard that you have a niece who is in the prime of her cardamom years. King Ren Cheng smiled.

Master Hu thought to himself: Could it be that His Royal Highness the King of Rencheng wants to accept my niece as the princess? That's flattering!

"Your Royal Highness. It is true that the poor nun has a niece who is in the prime of her cardamom years. Master Hu said with a smile.

Rencheng Wang Yuancheng instantly changed his words and said, "Your Majesty has always been very devout to the Buddha. However, he also needs a concubine who worships the Buddha, so that Buddhism can be carried forward in our Wei country. ”

"Lord Wang, what do you mean, do you want the niece of the poor nun to be His Majesty's concubine? It was a privilege for the poor. Master Hu immediately laughed from ear to ear.

"Exactly. Now His Majesty pampered the noble concubine. However, the Gao family came from Goguryeo. It's the Gentiles. If you collude with Goguryeo and subvert our Great Wei State, the consequences will be unimaginable. Gao Cheng, the king of Rencheng, said worriedly.

"Poor Ni understands: What His Royal Highness means. The poor nun also hoped to marry the Wei royal family. That is also the honor of the poor nun. Master Hu smiled.

After Master Hu left the palace, he went to the mansion of his brother Hu Guozhen, Marquis Wu Shihou.

"Sister, you haven't been here for a long time. Do you have anything going on today? Hu Guozhen said curiously.

"Brother. Isn't your daughter unmarried? Master Hu said with a smile.

"Do you want to find my daughter's in-laws?" Hu Guozhen asked.

"Yes. Today, King Ren Cheng hopes that your daughter will enter the palace as His Majesty's concubine. Master Hu said with a smile.

Hu Guozhen suddenly felt that five thunders hit the top.

He thought to himself: Your Majesty has always been short-tempered. He has always wanted to dominate the world, and he already has the queen Yu and the noble concubine Gao Ying. If it continues. My daughter will not be pampered even if she becomes a concubine.

"You mean, that's not what Your Majesty meant? In that case, there's room to maneuver. Hu Guozhen asked.

"Gao Cheng, the king of Rencheng, will definitely show His Majesty the portrait of your daughter. In this case, you are against it, and there is no way to do it. Master Hu cried.

"Then I can let my daughter Hu Chonghua become a monk. In this way, isn't there nothing Your Majesty can do? Hu Guozhen said with a smile.

"You really underestimate Your Majesty. Even if your daughter becomes a nun, Your Majesty can make her vulgar. Master Hu cried.

Hu Guozhen thought to herself: It seems that I can only let my daughter enter the palace.

Master Hu thought to himself: If Hu Chonghua becomes a concubine, I can let my Dharma flourish.

At this time, King Rencheng was also in the Taiqing Palace and met Emperor Xuanwu Yuan Ke.

"What do you have to do today?" Yuan Ke was a little impatient.

He thought to himself: Is King Ren Cheng going to say something about noble concubines who bring disaster to the country and the people? Or is there hope for the construction of water conservancy, or is it planned to attack the state of Qi again?

"Your Majesty, I'm here to present a beauty to Your Majesty." Rencheng Wang Yuancheng said with a smile.

When Emperor Xuanwu Yuan Ke heard this, he thought: Did this sun come out of the west? Rencheng Wang Yuancheng will actually present a beautiful woman to me?

Could it be that he had some intentions?

As the saying goes: nothing to be courteous or a thief.

There must be a problem.

"Your Majesty, Master Hu's niece, Hu Chonghua, is young and beautiful, gentle and graceful. Moreover, this person is proficient in the Dharma. Yuan Cheng began to brag.

"Really?" Xuanwu Emperor Yuan Ke asked, his eyes looked at the portrait, and they were all straight.

"Your Majesty, you have always been proficient in the Dharma. It must be that you want to have a beautiful woman who can discuss the Dharma with you. The minister is also to share His Majesty's worries. Rencheng Wang Yuancheng said with a smile.

Emperor Xuanwu thought to himself: Yuan Cheng probably hoped that I would not favor the noble concubines, so he would be like this.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have done it.

Let's talk about Hu Chonghua.

She was in the mansion at this time.

She has fair skin, wears a white dress, and has a graceful figure.

She is painting Danqing, painting a picture of a lady.

She used her paintbrush to fill in the lady's lips.

Father Hu Guozhen suddenly came to her room and said with a smile: "Daughter! You're not too young. Daddy has found a good home for you. ”

"Daddy, I don't want to get married. I'm in the house. Hu Chonghua cried.

"Since it was the palace that made you go. You have to serve Your Majesty. Hu Guozhen said with a smile.

Hu Chonghua was suddenly stunned, and thought: Let me be the emperor's concubine. Could it be that my father wants to sell me and become the father-in-law of the country?

Daddy is crazy too.

Where are the concubines in the palace happy?

"Daddy, how can you do this? If you enter the palace, your daughter's life will be ruined! Hu Chonghua cried.

"You're thinking too much. The concubines in the palace ate and wore such luxury. You should feel very honored. Hu Guozhen said with a smile.

He thought to himself: For the glory of our family. We'll have to sacrifice you.

Hu Chonghua thought to himself: No way. I had to sacrifice myself. After all, it is the emperor's order that cannot be disobeyed.

Hu Chonghua finally entered the palace to see Emperor Xuanwu.

However, her tragedy has only just begun.

Emperor Xuanwu met the beautiful Hu Chonghua in the Taiqing Palace.

He looked at her and thought: it is indeed like a bud waiting to be released. Hu Chonghua is even more beautiful than the people in the painting. I wish I could make her my concubine.

"You are Your Majesty?" Hu Chonghua asked.

Her eyes were a little childish. She thought to herself: Your Majesty is not at all as majestic and domineering as I imagined. He is a handsome guy with a beautiful appearance.

Xuanwu Emperor Yuan Ke thought to himself: Hu Chonghua is really cute! I didn't expect him to be so detached. What a cold beauty.

Let's talk about the affairs of the Southern Dynasty Qi State.

Xiao Baojuan, the faint monarch, also got the beauty Wu Yucheng who was presented by Xiao Yanjin, and stayed together day and night. He said to Wu Yucheng: "Wu Shuyuan. What kind of monarch do you think I am? ”

"Your Majesty, you are a Ming Jun like Yao Shun." Wu Shuyuan said with a smile.

Her smile was as sweet as a peach.

However, Concubine Pan Yunu was not happy.

He said to the palace maids: "Since that Wu Shuyuan came, His Majesty and her have been singing every night. This palace looks at Xiao Yan is harboring evil intentions. In order to control His Majesty, that's why he sent such a beauty. ”

The palace maid Xiao Ai said: "Xiao Tingshi was originally to ease the relationship with His Majesty. Niangniang also needs to be careful. ”
