With a "creak", the door of the Great Ci'en Temple was opened, and a monk from a knowing guest came and saluted the pilgrims in line: "Donors, poor monks are polite, please enter the door in order to offer incense, Amitabha." ”

Lu Shu said happily: "Master, we are the first in line. ”

"Female benefactor, please." The monk said respectfully.

Lin Xun'er gently pushed Lu Shu: "Lu Shu, the head pillar incense is yours, go ahead." ”

Lu Shu responded, and was about to go in with the monk to make incense, when suddenly someone in the distance shouted: "Slow." ”

Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see several soldiers in armor striding forward, and the leader shouted: "The crown princess wants to enter the incense, you are waiting." ”

The crown princess is also here?

A group of pilgrims suddenly stirred up and looked around, and soon everyone saw a richly decorated carriage slowly approaching from a distance, accompanied by a eunuch and several palace maids, and everyone began to discuss:

"She really deserves to be the crown princess, she looks so beautiful."

"The Great Mercy and Grace Temple is really a miracle, and even the crown princess has come here to offer incense."

"Brother Tai is from other places, the Great Ci'en Temple was originally built by the royal family, it can be regarded as a royal temple, the royal family and nobles often come to incense to pray for blessings, and it is not surprising that the crown princess comes to incense."

"The Xue family is regarded as the ancestral tomb with green smoke, the daughter married into the royal family, and became the crown princess, it is like flying on the branches as a phoenix, and now the Xue family is going to soar."

"Yes, none of the five women surnamed were selected, but the daughter of the Xue family became the crown princess."

"What's so strange, Concubine Li's background is a prostitute, maybe she can't get used to each other with those big families, it is said that she wanted to marry the daughter of the Cui family of Qinghe, but she just had that meaning, and I don't know how the Cui family knew, and married her daughter in advance, and the princess Xue looked like a flower and jade, and she would please Concubine Li, so she married the daughter of the Xue family."

"Be quiet, dare to say this kind of thing, don't want a small life? I heard that the Xue family is very arrogant, so be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth. ”

Just when everyone was talking, the crown princess Xue, accompanied by the palace maid, slowly walked towards the Great Ci'en Temple.

"Ah~" Xue put the champa to his mouth, yawned a little lazily, and said reluctantly: "Gonggong Chen, it's not dawn yet, I got up so early and was trapped in the palace." ”

Gonggong Chen said flatteringly: "Back to Niangniang's words, today is the Midyear Festival, Niangniang came here to pray for blessings, or the head pillar incense early in the morning, the emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know, they will be very happy, if Niangniang asks for another peace charm to give to Concubine Li, presumably Concubine Li also appreciates Niangniang." ”

Xue Shi nodded and said, "When this palace first enters the palace, you need to set an example, Gonggong Chen, you have a good proposal this time." ”

"Mother's award, this is the duty of the old slave."

At this time, Master Mingjue, the presiding officer of the Great Ci'en Temple, also heard the news and walked out, and saw the crown princess hurriedly clasping her hands together and saluting: "I don't know that Niangniang is coming, and the poor monk has missed the welcome, please forgive Niangniang." ”

Xue Shi waved his hand and said, "Those who don't know are not guilty, master, you take the palace to the incense." ”

Master Mingjue responded and made a gesture of please: "Niangniang, please." ”

Xue nodded, and walked towards the temple with the support of the palace maid, Mingjue was trying to keep up, and Lu Shu, who was in the first place, couldn't help but ask: "Master, when is it our turn to offer incense?" ”

The head pillar incense was snatched away by the crown princess, and Lu Shu was a little lost, but there was no way, who called the person who called the crown princess, but I didn't know when I could go in to make incense, and I couldn't help but feel anxious.

Listening to the old man, the sooner the incense is on this day, the more effective it will be, and seeing that the host of Mingjue is leaving, Lu Shu can't help but ask.

Mingjue turned around and saw that it was Lu Shu, and immediately folded his hands and saluted: "It turned out to be Mrs. Zheng, Mrs. is in the first place, so naturally you can follow Niangniang to incense, please." ”

After all, monks do not do production, food, clothing, housing, transportation, lamp oil, fire and wax all need to be expensed, like the monks who are on the orders of great mercy and grace There are also hundreds of people, and the daily expenses are like running water.

Lu Shu is from the Boling Cui family, and it is the main room of Zheng Peng, a figure of the Tang Dynasty, plus Lu Shu is very generous every time he shoots, and it is difficult for him not to remember it.

"Thank you, Master." Lu Shu also folded her hands and responded politely.

"No way!" Suddenly, a duck-like voice rang out.

It was Gonggong Chen who spoke, and I saw him walking over quickly, with a face like a dead man, snorting coldly, and said loudly: "Niangniang doesn't like to be disturbed when she is incense, so wait here, and wait for Niangniang to return to the palace before going in." ”

Lu Shu said a little anxiously: "Father-in-law, the little girl is just incense, and she will never disturb her mother, please make it convenient." ”

Behind the crown princess, there were a few Jian slaves carrying offerings, as well as the sacrifices to be used in the Meng Lanpan Festival, and they didn't know when they would have to wait.

Seeing that the person who spoke was Lu Shu, Gonggong Chen hesitated, and quickly said with a smile: "Mrs. Zheng later, our family will go and ask Niangniang for instructions first." ”

Others are okay to say, this Zheng Cui's Chen Gonggong in front of him really has to be treated carefully, even if he doesn't look at the face of the Boling Cui family, he has to give Zheng Peng face, you must know that Zheng Peng was Li Longji's celebrity, and he also had a good relationship with Gao Lishi in the palace.

There are thousands of eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty, and you must know that the eunuchs are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and Gao Lishi is recognized as the "first brother" among the eunuchs.

"No need to ask, this palace will not agree." Xue Shi heard the movement behind him, turned around and walked over, and said with a cold face.

Looking at Lu Shu, who was a little at a loss, Xue's gaze became even colder, and he glanced at Lu Shu condescendingly, and said, "Master Mingjue." ”

"The poor monk is here."

Xue Shi pointed to Lu Shu, and said expressionlessly: "Although the palace likes to be quiet, but today is a little special, it is in the middle of the Yuan, the temple is going to hold the Menglan Bon Festival, so make an exception to have fun with the people, except for the two of them, other pilgrims let them enter the temple in an orderly manner." ”

Master Mingjue was a little embarrassed and said, "Niangniang, this is a little inappropriate. ”

If it refers to others, Xue is referring to Lu Shu and Lin Xun'er, who are the family members of Zheng Peng, the general of Zhenxi.

Even the Buddha also has three points of mud, Lu Shu repeatedly endured it and was still treated like this, and couldn't help asking: "Niangniang, we are in the first place, why can't we enter?" ”

Xue said sarcastically: "It's very simple, this palace sees that you are very dirty, and I am not happy to look at it, and I will not let you in, in order to avoid destroying the good mood of this palace, I am also afraid that you will stain the purity of the Buddhist gate." ”

From the daughter of an official eunuch, a gorgeous turn became a high-ranking princess, and in the future, she will have a mother's honor in the world, for the Xue family, it is like a dream, and the prince who changed his fate is obedient, and when the husband and wife are quiet, they can't help but talk about some things about Chaoyan, I remember that the prince once drank a few more glasses, and scolded Zheng Peng and Cui Yuan for not knowing what to do, and had the intention to win over the two of them, to prepare for the future enthronement, and to stabilize their position, I didn't expect the two to say that they would take refuge, even if they met and had a meal, they didn't want to. The gift sent is also unsealed and will not be returned.

If you don't want to stand in line, forget it, the prince saw that the business of Sanbao and the winery was very good, and he was making money every day, so he had the intention to mix it up, and sent someone to hint, but Zheng Peng just didn't let go.

The husband's enemy is his own enemy, the Xue family takes her husband very seriously, after all, he is his own husband, the husband and wife share honor and disgrace, Lu Shu is Zheng Peng's wife, and Cui Yuan's granddaughter, so he naturally hates her.

For the sake of the prince's reputation, it's good not to trouble Lu Shu, and now he takes the initiative to bump into his face, saying that he has to breathe a sigh of relief for his husband.

Lu Shu is no longer the submissive little maid of the past, she was unhappy on the spot when she heard the words, frowned and said: "Niangniang, although you have a noble status, but there are some things that you can't say nonsense, if you are afraid that the slave family will disturb your tranquility, this incense will not be on for the time being, I don't know what Niangniang means when she says that the slave family has polluted the purity of Buddhism?" ”

Only the most evil, unrepentant people and unscrupulous women have the saying of polluting the purity of Buddhism, Xue said this in public, no different from pouring a basin of dirty water on Lu Shu, Lu Shu can tolerate Xue's insults to himself, but he must not tolerate Xue's insults to the Zheng family.

Lu Shu has married into the Zheng family and is the daughter-in-law of the Zheng family, Xue's words are suspected of insulting the Zheng family, and this matter must not be compromised.

The head of the master Mingjue on the side was big, and he hurriedly put his hands together and said: "Niangniang, Mrs. Zheng, harmony is precious, the Buddha said that all living beings are equal, as long as you sincerely worship the Buddha, the Buddha will definitely bless you, Amuda Buddha." ”

Early in the morning, they quarreled in front of the temple gate, and the quarreling people all had a big background, and Mingjue's head was big, and these two women could not afford to offend, so they could only persuade the two to fight without favoritism.

In the final analysis, it was the crown princess Xue who provoked the trouble first, but she was the high-ranking crown princess, and she didn't dare to point fingers at the Xue family even if she had ten dares.

Lin Xun'er endured it for a long time on the side, and couldn't help but complain loudly when she heard the words: "The master said well, since Buddhism says that all living beings are equal, why can't incense be equal?" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of laughter at the scene, many people whispered, and some people even pointed at Mingjue.

Mingjue is no matter how proficient he is in the Dharma, and at this time he also made a big embarrassment, and said a little embarrassed: "Donor, the Buddha said that this matter cannot be said." ”

The pit he dug for himself, he can't say that all beings are unequal, and he can't refuse the princess's request to be the first to put on incense, and he can only swallow it in his stomach when he feels bitter.

Xue's willow eyebrows raised, staring at Lin Xun'er, and the Chen Gong Guild on the side understood, and whispered on the side: "Niangniang, her name is Lin Xun'er, and she is General Zheng's confidante." ”

"This palace knows" Xue said to himself: "A slut from Pingkangfang." ”

While speaking, Xue suddenly raised his hand, only to hear a snap, slapped Lin Xun'er firmly, and said coldly: "What kind of thing are you, dare to make irresponsible remarks in front of this palace, is it your turn to speak?" ”
