The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

Chapter 226 National Teacher (1)

Jiang Ruan walked outside with Aunt Yang, Jiang Ruan asked: "Auntie, do you know why the emperor's grandmother is in a bad mood?"

Empress Dowager Yide seemed very downcast, rarely showing a bit of old and haggard appearance, Jiang Ruan didn't think that Empress Yide was mourning Ye You's death.In fact, Empress Dowager Yide is a vigorous and decisive person, and she hated Ye You very much in her early years.It was her decree to release Ye You out of the palace early and open the mansion.

Aunt Yang smiled and said: "Princess, perhaps the Empress Dowager has been a little tired recently, and she just shrank a bit after watching it. It will be better in a few days."

These words were perfunctory, Jiang Ruan replied with a slight smile: "Really? Then I will trouble Aunt Yang to take care of the imperial grandmother."

"The servant girl can't afford to be the princess." Aunt Yang is an old man next to the Empress Dowager Yide, and she also admires Jiang Ruan very much.Back then Jiang Ruan sacrificed his life to save the Empress Dowager, but he never made a point of it. After getting along, he knew what to ask and what not to ask. The most suitable person in the palace is a smart person like her.Aunt Yang looked at Jiang Ruan with admiration in her eyes.

Jiang Ruan lowered her eyes slightly, sure enough, Empress Dowager Yide also had some secrets, and now she is not close enough to share secrets with Empress Yide.But she is not interested in other people's secrets in this world, and she won't ask more questions if Queen Mother Yide doesn't tell them.She came today because she had something more important to do.

"Aunt Yang, many things have happened in the mansion these days, and I feel very uneasy. I heard that the Buddhist hall in the palace can calm the mind and calm the mind. I want to go and listen to the scriptures."

Since the national teacher entered the palace a few years ago, the emperor built a Buddhist hall in the palace for convenience.On weekdays, if the female family members in the palace are sincere to the Buddha, they often go to listen to the Buddhist scriptures, and the emperor is also happy to see their success.

Aunt Yang also knew what happened on the day of Jiang Li's wedding, and she felt very sad.The master of Hong'an County is smart and steady, but unfortunately he was born in Jiang's family.The daughter of the same father, how can there be such a big difference.Thinking of this, she smiled and said: "The princess is talking about the small Buddhist hall, right? At the end of Nanyuan, the servants will take the princess there."

Jiang Ruan smiled: "Thank you, aunt."

……

Jingyi Hall in the palace is renovated at the end of Nanyuan, where the environment is quiet and the air is fresh.It is a rare piece of blessed land in the palace. When the first emperor was alive, he wanted to build a courtyard here, fearing that the feng shui in the palace would be damaged, so he gave up later.Now this blessed land is being used again, but a Buddhist hall has been repaired.It can be seen how high the status of the owner of the Buddhist hall is in the palace.

Aunt Yang took Jiang Ruan to the Jingyi Hall, said a few words to the little monk in the Buddhist hall, and Jiang Ruan went in first.In the Buddha Hall is a golden Buddha statue. It is probably the first time that the Buddha Hall has been built in a palace.An old monk in a red cassock sits quietly, holding a string of dark Buddhist beads in his hand, closing his eyes and meditating silently, with green smoke wafting from the Buddhist hall, he really looks a bit out of dust.

The little novice walked up to the old monk and said a few words. The old monk opened his eyes, and when he saw the person in front of him, he was slightly taken aback, with a hint of panic almost invisible in his benevolent expression.

After hearing a few words from his master, the little novice walked over to Jiang Ruan and said, "Almsgiver, Master invites you to go to the inner room to give a lecture."

Jiang Ruan clasped his hands together, and blessed the little novice.Seeing this, Aunt Yang smiled at her.Jiang Ruan followed the little novice into the inner room on one side.

In the inner room, there is a small green wood table, on which there is a sign holder and several scriptures.

The old monk walked into the inner room and sat down on one side of the wooden table, and Jiang Ruan also sat down in front of the table.The sound of novice monks chanting scriptures can be heard outside, and the repair of the Buddhist hall is antique and interesting.

Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "It's been a long time, congratulations, master, for getting what you want."

Huijue's breath stopped, and he looked up at the person in front of him.The young girl was dressed in red, and she was more indescribably elegant than three years ago.However, the bottom of his eyes was cold, and there seemed to be a bit of sarcasm under his gentle smile.

He clasped his hands together, bowed his head and said humbly, "Amitabha."

"Master, is he worshiping Buddha or me." Jiang Ruan took the stick on the table and shook it gently. The wooden stick collided in the stick, making a frightening sound.Once and for all, it was like a heavy blow to Huijue's heart.

For a long time, the national teacher, who had been as devoid of emotions as a holy monk for a long time, once again had beads of sweat on his head after three years.He looked at Jiang Ruan, and said slowly: "The benefactor is the one chosen by the Buddha, and I obey the will of the Buddha."

Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "Master is really an eminent monk."

Huijue didn't speak. Someone sent him a letter three years ago. The person who sent the letter said it was from Jiang Ruan.Huijue is a careful person, at first he didn't believe it, but as time passed, he was surprised to find that the things inside happened one by one.Huijue believed all the things on the letter paper, he lurked among the people, and the reputation of the eminent monk finally spread to the palace, and was invited by the emperor to the palace.Relying on that thin letter paper, coupled with Huijue's eloquent tongue, within three years, everyone in the Dajin Dynasty knew that there was a holy monk named Huijue, who knew everything that was prophesied. Step by step, he finally sat in the seat of the national teacher.

Huijue looked up at Jiang Ruan. Jiang Ruan had told him three years ago that he would be given unlimited honor and status, and let him be a master.Now that I think about it, all of them have come true.For him, Jiang Ruan was a fearful existence. How could anyone in the world predict it?But Jiang Ruan is such a mysterious person.Huijue knows that there is no such thing as a free lunch, Jiang Ruan will not help him for nothing, and he will repay him someday.Now that Jiang Ruan is back, it is time to ask him for the reward.

Jiang Ruan said with a faint smile: "The master is now a national teacher, and I think the young master's condition has improved."

Huijue was surprised that his son was his lifeblood.Now he and his son are called master and apprentice, the emperor trusts him very much, it is convenient for him to ask the imperial physician in the palace.There is never a shortage of precious medicinal materials in the palace, and now his son's condition is gradually improving, and his body is no longer as weak as before.His hand holding the rosary trembled slightly, and said, "What is the benefactor asking for?"

"Master, I don't believe in Buddhism, so you don't need to talk about Buddhist scriptures with me." Jiang Ruan's voice was very soft, but Huijue felt that those words were very important.She was so pressing that she wanted him to express his attitude directly.Gritting his teeth, Huijue said: "I am willing to do the work of a dog and a horse for the princess."

Jiang Ruan loosened his hand, and the stick fell on the table. Jiang Ruan reached out and pulled out all the wooden sticks in the stick, carefully picked out one and put it in front of Huijue, saying, "What kind of stick is this?"

Huijue was taken aback for a moment, then looked at it and said, "Down the lot, what is the princess asking for...?"

"This sign is not for me," Jiang Ruan said indifferently: "A family matter is also a state matter."

Household affairs are also state affairs, so naturally they are the emperor's house affairs, so isn't that the matter of the harem?Huijue raised his head in doubt, only to hear a soft voice: "My princess sees the black air surrounding the east of the palace, and I'm afraid something may have collided with the Holy One. I beg you to do a ritual to find the dragon."
