Shen Yi's Darkness and Depression

Chapter 546

The emperor issued an order not to allow Concubine Xuan Gui to step out of the Yongyan Hall, so she had to sit in the courtyard facing the direction of Xuande Hall and meditate, praying for the emperor's well-being and longevity.

While reciting scriptures, Concubine Xuan unconsciously recalled the past with the emperor.

The vivid past made it difficult for the infatuated man to calm down and pray for blessings. He unconsciously accelerated the strength of the rosary in his hand, but accidentally scattered the bodhi beads sent by the emperor all over the floor.

One hundred and eight Buddhist beads were scattered around like wild horses after spinning rapidly, some rolled into the grass, and some bounced into the basin.

Late at night, the stars are sparse, and the cold moonlight adds a lot of difficulty to finding Buddhist beads.

Concubine Xuan ordered everyone in the hall to search for Buddhist beads, and whoever found them would be rewarded with a silver ingot. The entire Yongyan Hall was almost searched and there were only a dozen or so beads missing, so that the Crown Princess heard that the concubine needed help and joined in. Do your part in the team looking for Buddhist beads.

Every Buddhist bead found is like a treasure to Concubine Xuan Gui, but after a long time, she became impatient and irritable.

Concubine Xuan Gui, the Buddhist instrument bestowed by the emperor, must not be lost or damaged, especially she used this string of Buddhist beads to pray for the emperor's health.

"Useless dog slaves, you really raised a bunch of idlers." Xuan Guifei yelled angrily and went back to her room to rest, leaving only a group of people crawling on the ground with torches to hunt for treasure.

As soon as the prince entered the Yongyan Hall, he saw a few clusters of flames moving slowly on the ground, and after a closer look, he saw a dark mass of palace people squatting on the ground.

For a split second, he thought it was some kind of rehearsal scene in the Yongyan Palace, and after inquiring, he realized that everyone was hunting for the imperial concubine's treasure.

Shen Yiyu couldn't help laughing, and when he turned his head, he saw Lan Duo getting up from the ground with his slightly protruding belly. He ran over in three steps at a time, "Who told you to come?"

"Prince~ You don't take anyone with you when you go out of the palace to have fun~" Lan Duo leaned on Shen Yiyu's ear and coquettishly.

"Let me ask you, why did you come to Yongyan Palace so well?" Shen Yiyu clearly arranged for Lan Duo to have a baby in Yongping Palace.

"Sister Meng, you specially took me here." Lan Duo originally wanted to see the crown prince before making a decision, but the crown princess's kindness was hard to refuse.

"Who is Sister Meng?" Shen Yiyu was very puzzled.

"Sister Princess, you've been by my side all day, but you can take care of me~" When Lan Duo first saw Dugu Xiaomeng, she ran away in fright. What about in the palace?

"Why is she so courteous to you? To be honest, did she bully you to work?" Shen Yiyu didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Dugu Xiaomeng's gourd.

"No, sister Meng knew that I was pregnant, so she made nourishing soup for me!" Lan Duo never expected that she would be accepted by the princess. After all, she was the daughter of a famous family and she was a little girl. Women in brothels have unequal status, so it's normal not to be respected.

"Then have you drunk it?" Shen Yiyu worried that Dugu Xiaomeng was caused by jealousy, and wanted to protect the status of the crown princess, so that he could kill the fetus in Lan Duo's womb.

"Drink it, what tremella and red date soup is sweet, why don't you drink it?" Lan Duo hugged the prince's arm and said affectionately, "Sister Meng, look, the prince is back."

"Why? Don't you think that I and... Lan Duo are as close as sisters? Are you afraid that I will plot against her?" Dugu Xiaomeng put her arms around Lan Duo's waist to show their intimacy.

"Be careful, don't hurt her." Shen Yiyu was very surprised why the two girls who were not dealt with in the Prince's Mansion came to Tianfu City and got along in harmony.

"I've been taking care of her, ask Lan Duo if you don't believe me." Dugu Xiaomeng looked aggrieved.

"Sister Meng is very careful with me, the crown prince, don't misunderstand her." Lan Duo looked at Shen Yiyu affectionately.

"Good boy, I got it!" Shen Yiyu also fondled Lan Duo's hair.

"Okay, it's important to do the right thing. After a while, the mother and concubine will lose her temper again." Dugu Xiaomeng didn't want to see her husband and concubine being affectionate, so she hurriedly urged her.

"Duo'er, go back and rest, I'm afraid you'll be tired." Shen Yiyu patted Lan Duo's cheek gently again.

"Hey, what do you mean, I really didn't coerce Lan Duo to work, she did it voluntarily." Dugu Xiaomeng continued to clarify for herself.

"I was bored by myself, so I wanted to help Sister Meng, just to get some air." Lan Duo nodded resolutely.

"Why don't you two go back to Fang Qingqing first? Don't hinder everyone's search for beads?" Dugu Xiaomeng seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"Okay~" Shen Yiyu hugged Lan Duo and left without looking back, leaving Dugu Xiaomeng jumping in anger, but he didn't dare to complain loudly, for fear of being laughed at by the palace people for his incompetence and not being favored by the prince Can't win the prince's heart.

Looking at the men and women who left, Dugu Xiaomeng felt so bitter in her heart, she never thought that the prince would be so cruel to herself, especially after she helped the prince take care of his concubine, she didn't even hear a word of thanks, and was taken care of by others. After doubting and questioning, it didn't end well.

In the prince's mansion, whether she ignores Lan Duo or makes strong words, it is a family matter in the mansion. Now in Tianfu City, she has to lower her posture in order to please the prince. Getting along with Lan Duo in harmony is her way of showing good way.

But Shen Yiyu didn't take any affection, and left Dugu Xiaomeng alone, and took Lan Duo to have a good time.

Dugu Xiaomeng pretended to search for the beads diligently, peeking around from time to time, for fear that she would be made fun of by the servants.

"Look, what is that?"

"where?"

"Wow~ It's so bright!"

"It seems to be a lot of praying lanterns."

"From a distance, I thought it was a fire dragon."

"Look, look, did it fly over from the Xuande Hall?"

……

Dugu Xiaomeng unconsciously looked towards the place where other people pointed, and saw a flickering fire dragon floating in the night. She remembered the scene when she first visited the Lantern Festival on Lantern Festival. The first sky lantern.

The wish she made at that time was to marry her sweetheart. Dugu Xiaomeng will never forget her youthful and frivolous love at the beginning of her life, but it is difficult to realize her original wish. Now it is even difficult for her to find where the young man she wants to marry is. Know, let alone meet and know each other.

She has tried her best to protect that love, but she has been unrequitedly in love, but there is no result after all. She has loved and moved closer to that person with all her strength, shouldn't she regret it?
Dugu Xiaomeng knew very well in her heart that her current status should have bid farewell to the past ten years long ago, but it was hard for her to let go, it was hard for her to pull herself out of that painful unrequited love, like a spider sticking to a web. The live flies, the more they struggle, the tighter they are wrapped.

The Bodhisattva Bodhisattva, the Buddha beads and the Buddha were born.
