Seeing Song Qingshu staring at his mother, Ah Ke could not help but snort coldly.
Song Qingshu came back to his senses and returned the greeting: "So it is Ping Xi Wang Fei, Song Mou has been impolite; I just did not expect that Wang Fei is even more beautiful than the rumors."
Chen Yuanyuan had heard this kind of words many times, so she didn't take it to heart. She smiled faintly and said, "It's just a stinky body. I only hate that I was born with this appearance, which has harmed the common people of the world." At this point, her eyes turned red and she couldn't help but cry.
On the side, Ah Ke saw that as soon as Song Qingshu opened his mouth, he could not help but say angrily, "Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know? Ping Xi Wangfei is someone else, my Niang is not …"
Chen Yuanyuan's expression was also somewhat awkward. Back then, she was bought by Wu Sangui's daughter and was deeply doted on. Moreover, for her, Wu Sangui became a traitor that was despised by the whole world. She was actually very touched. Originally, she planned to love him wholeheartedly, but who would have thought that when Wu Sangui was conferred the title of Ping Xi Empress by the Manchurian Qing Dynasty, he had misgivings about her background in the brothel; he was worried that if she became the Imperial Court's Madame of Nobility, she would be ridiculed by others. Chen Yuanyuan knew what he was thinking; her maiden heart immediately turned cold. Thereupon she invited herself to the San Sheng Nunnery outside the city to cultivate. Wu Sangui took advantage of the situation and created the current situation.
"Why does Madam care about a mere title? After several hundred years, who would still remember who the current Ping Xi Wangfei is? They will only think that Furen is the real Ping Xi Wangfei. "Song Qingshu said with a stern countenance.
All these years, no one had dared to mention the issue of status in front of her, afraid that it would make her sad and uncomfortable. Chen Yuanyuan herself often felt sorry for herself. Today, after being enlightened by Song Qingshu from a different angle, she actually found that her heart was much more at ease. Pursing her lips, she said with a smile, "This little girl has been impolite and made Song daren stand for so long. Please sit down and serve tea to the honored guest."
Ah Ke sees that Song Qingshu is able to make his mother beam with joy with just a few words, and angrily says: "How do you know what will happen after several hundred years?"
"I came from a few hundred years in the future, so of course I know." Song Qingshu's tone was filled with calmness and confidence.
Ah Ke ignored him and helped Chen Yuanyuan to sit on the other side.
Very quickly, the servants served tea. Song QingShu lifted the lid of the bowl and a fragrant aroma assailed his nostrils. The bowl was dark green, it was actually freshly produced Longjing tea leaves. His lips could not help but reveal a mocking smile as he thought to himself, "These Longjing tea leaves were shipped here from Jiangnan, the price must be very expensive. This Chen Yuanyuan is really extravagant." The servant also brought in a lacquer tray with eight different kinds of pastries on it. The white disk was filled with pine nut candy, small walnut cakes, walnut slices, rose cakes, sugar almonds, mung bean cakes, lily cakes, and osmanthus candied bayberries. They were all Soviet-style pastries, exceptionally exquisite.
"Hey, my mother entertains you with good intentions, yet you have a mocking expression on your face. How rude!" Ah Ke had been staring at him the entire time, and when he noticed his expression, he couldn't help but say angrily.
Song Qingshu ignored her and instead looked at Chen Yuanyuan and said, "Madam, do you know why I am laughing?"
Chen Yuanyuan did not know what was going on. She was confused.
She shook her head in confusion.
Song Qingshu stood up and pointed to a copper incense burner on the tea table. A wisp of green smoke was curling up from it. "I am the Deputy Chief of the Imperial Bodyguards of the Imperial Palace, so I know a thing or two about sandalwood incense. This incense is the most expensive kind, even the ones in the Empress Dowager and the Emperor's rooms are nothing more than this. It is best to use it to calm one's mind, but Madam is now cultivating without hair, so using such expensive sandalwood is unavoidably a bit inferior. As the saying goes, 'a stick of incense opens the cave, the loose pine wrinkles and half a berry moss'. As long as Madam's heart is sincere, you will naturally understand Buddhism and Taoism, so why do you need to use external objects?"
Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but feel slightly embarrassed. Although the other party spoke politely, his tone was full of mockery. Looking at the pastries and tea carefully prepared by the servant, she felt even more vulgar. Thinking back to when she was one of the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai, Chen Yuanyuan mingled with various princes and grandsons. She would never make such a low-level mistake when dealing with people. Unexpectedly, as she grew older, her taste had unknowingly fallen into a cliché.
"Thank you for your guidance. Yuanyuan was wondering why I didn't understand much about the Buddhist scriptures after so many years. It turns out that my heart is not sincere." Chen Yuanyuan stood up and bowed.
Song Qingshu saw that when she smiled, she was lovely when she was sad. He couldn't help but feel pity for her. He quickly reached out to hold her arms and gently supported her, "I wonder what Buddhist scriptures Madam usually read?"
Chen Yuanyuan hadn't had physical contact with a man for many years. Being touched by Song Qingshu, her face blushed slightly. Her smooth and white skin exuded a delicate redness, like a white jade smeared with a layer of rouge. "I'm not afraid of Prince Song's ridicule. I've only read the Diamond Sutra, the Six Ancestral Altar Sutra, the Ksitigarbha Sutra, and yes, the Forty-two Chapter Sutra."
Song Qingshu was just asking casually. He didn't expect to hear about the Forty-two Chapter Sutra. He quickly said without batting an eyelid, "The Diamond Sutra, half of it talks about the emptiness of all living things, and the other half talks about emptiness. It is indeed somewhat obscure and difficult to understand. The central idea of the Six Ancestral Altar Sutra is to 'see one's nature and become Buddha'. The word 'nature' is enough to confuse many people. The Ksitigarbha Original Wish Sutra says, 'If hell is not empty, I vow not to become Buddha. When all living things are saved, I will become Bodhi.' Although the aspiration is great, it is difficult for people to see hope. As for the Forty-two Chapter Sutra, zaixia has only heard that it is easy to understand, but I have never seen its content. I wonder if Madame has a collection here? Is it possible for zaixia to take a look? "
"Gongzi is indeed very talented, you also have such a deep understanding of Buddhist scriptures." Chen Yuanyuan looked at Song Qingshu in astonishment. She turned her head and ordered, "Ah Ke, go to niang's bed and fetch the Forty-two Chapter Sutra next to the pillow for Prince Song to take a look."
"Oh ~" Ah Ke was having a headache just listening to it. She hastily ran to the inner room and very quickly came back with the book.
"It really is the Plain Blue Flag's Forty-two Chapter Sutra!" Song Qingshu thought to himself. He quietly flipped through the book for a while. To prevent the other party from becoming suspicious, he returned the sutra. "The content is indeed simple and refreshing."
Chen Yuanyuan nodded and said with a smile, "That's right. Qie has read the 144th chapter of the Forty-two Chapter Sutra.
I think it is the easiest to understand. "
Song Qingshu saw that she was wearing a Daoist robe, yet she was discussing Buddhist doctrine with him. He felt it was a bit funny. He continued to chat for a while and then said, "To tell you the truth, zaixia has come this time to take Junzhu Ah Ke back."
"Humph! It is clearly your fault, but you want me, a girl, to bear it. In any case, I will die rather than enter the Palace. "Hearing his words, Ah Ke's face immediately darkened.
Chen Yuanyuan thought of the infamy she had to bear for her entire life, and felt the same way: "Song gongzi, I hope you can report back to Wangye, I will never agree to Ah Ke entering the capital."
"I wonder what the two of you are worried about?" Song Qingshu showed a trace of puzzlement. "In my opinion, Junzhu Ah Ke's trip to the capital has hundreds of advantages and no disadvantages. Why are you so opposed?"
"What do you mean by hundreds of advantages and no disadvantages?" Ah Ke wrinkled her nose and snorted. "If I enter the capital, of course, it is beneficial to fuwang, it is beneficial to you, it is beneficial to everyone, but it is disadvantageous to me."
"If you enter the palace and become the Emperor's imperial concubine, perhaps there will be a day when you can be the mother of the world. What disadvantages is there?" Song Qingshu deliberately asked.
"Humph, the position of Empress, perhaps other people want it, but I, Ah Ke, do not. The man this junzhu wants to marry has to be handsome, elegant, and talented in both literature and martial arts. Most importantly, he can only love me for the rest of his life." At this time, Ah Ke was in high spirits, her face shining.
Chen Yuanyuan looked awkwardly at Song Qingshu. She thought of how she had wandered in the world of prostitution when she was young. In the dead of night, it was inevitable that she would have this kind of young girl's fantasy. It was a pity that she would immediately wake up in the cruel reality. Now, she naturally hoped that her daughter could fulfill her wish.
"Since you don't want to be the Emperor's woman, then it's easy." Song Qingshu wiped his sweat. "Otherwise, it would really be difficult for me."
"What do you mean?" Ah Ke looked puzzledly at Song Qingshu.
Song Qingshu smiled and said, "Junzhu, do not worry. After you enter the Imperial Palace, the Emperor will only make you a female official and will not accept you as a concubine."
"How is that possible, I … I am so beautiful. When that perverted Emperor sees me, he will definitely have me serve him in bed." Ah Ke's small hands rubbed the corners of her clothes as she said shyly.
"Uh, actually," Song Qingshu thought about it and decided to tell her the truth. "There are many beautiful women in the Imperial Palace. There are a few imperial concubines who are not less beautiful than Junzhu. For example, Mi Fei and Yi Fei are both devastatingly beautiful. Compared to Junzhu's immaturity, they have more womanly charm."
Chen Yuanyuan looked at him with a strange expression. She thought to herself, "He actually dares to comment on the Emperor's concubines behind their backs. That tone … is like a guest who used to linger by the Qinhuai River to comment on the girls in a brothel."
Although Song Qingshu did not realize that he had committed a crime of disrespect, it was not good to comment on another woman in front of two women. He quickly said, "Of course, this is not the main point. The main point is that Junzhu's identity is sensitive. It is not convenient for His Majesty to accept you."
Chen Yuanyuan, who had a rough life, had long seen through the hypocrisy of men. When she heard Song Qingshu's reminder, she immediately reacted. Ah Ke's father was the greatest traitor in the world, Wu Sangui. Kangxi had always cared about his reputation. In addition, there was no lack of beautiful women in the Imperial Palace. How could he leave a stain on his reputation in history for a woman?
Seeing that Ah Ke was confused and somewhat indignant, Chen Yuanyuan quickly said, "Ah Ke, His Majesty will not make things difficult for you. You can follow Official Song into the Imperial Palace and help your father."
"No, I don't want to spend the rest of my life alone in the Imperial Palace. Chapter 145 Stealing Scriptures from the Bed
"I wonder what the two of you are worried about?" Song Qingshu revealed a puzzled expression. "In my opinion, Ah Ke's trip to the capital will only bring benefits and no harm. Why are you so resistant?"
"What do you mean by 'only benefits and no harm'?" Ah Ke wrinkled her nose and snorted. "If I go to the capital, of course, it will be beneficial to my father. It will also be beneficial to you. It will be beneficial to everyone, but it will be disadvantageous to me."
"If you enter the Imperial Palace and become the Emperor's imperial concubine, perhaps one day you will become the mother of the world. What harm is there?" Song Qingshu deliberately asked.
"Hmph, the position of Empress, perhaps other people will want it, but I, Ah Ke, do not. The man this princess wants to marry must be both handsome and talented in both literature and martial arts. Most importantly, he must only love me for the rest of his life." At this time, Ah Ke was in high spirits and her face was shining.
