A monk bowed and said, “Naturally, everyone can worship.”
Chu Jingyue didn’t say anything, but held the sword and sent it forward, the slightly unsheathed sharp point cut off the already lit incense.
“What does the Princess mean? It’s disrespectful in front of the Buddha, it’s really absurd.” The little monk opened his mouth angrily.
Chu Jingyue raised her eyebrows and sneered, “Are Buddhist disciples so easy to get angry? It seems that the practice is not enough.”
The monk realized that he had lost his composure and quickly said, “Amitabha.”
Chu Jingyue ignored him and continued to walk, coming to the last part of the Buddha hall, which also looked like a Buddha hall, but the door was tightly closed.
“This is not a place for worship?” Chu Jingyue’s eyes changed slightly, this place contained a very strong aura of her life treasure.
The monk who followed all the way explained, “It is a place for worship, but it is not for ordinary people to seek worship.”
Chu Jingyue stood in front of the hall, trying to determine the location of the life treasure.
Prince, the old madam invites the Princess to the quiet room to practice with her. The nanny next to the old madam came to look for her.
Chu Jingyue frowned and said, “I’m not going.”
The old grand consort also said that if the Princess refuses to go, then she will have to go to the Wen Yong Marquis’s mansion to ask how the Marquis’s mansion educates its children. If the Prince’s mansion can’t control it, then it can only be sent back to the Marquis’s mansion for education.
Let’s go. The nanny straightened her body and bowed. Wenren Si was about to speak to help, but saw that Chu Jingyue had already walked down.
Returning to the Marquis’s mansion was a small matter, the life treasure was right in front of her, she really didn’t want to cause trouble.
It was nothing more than sitting in the quiet room, it didn’t matter.
Wenren Si was slightly lost in thought, did she want to stay in the Prince’s mansion, or was she unwilling to return to the Marquis’s mansion?
The Princess is still quite pitiful, this subordinate asked Yue Jin when he was looking for him before, and the broken courtyard that the Marquis’s mansion attacked the Princess that day was where she lived.
Pei Feng sighed softly, he even thought that the Princess’s past madness might have been forced by the Chu family, and it was normal for her to be cold now.
Wenren Si remembered what he saw in the Marquis’s mansion, the so-called courtyard was just a small place, and the houses were even more dilapidated, the broken tiles and broken windows looked like they couldn’t shelter from the wind and rain.
Wait a moment and you go there, just say that this prince is not feeling well.
Chu Jingyue followed the nanny to the quiet room, which was the size of a palm, and you could see how narrow and cramped it was without going in.
The room was even more dim and depressing, and a small gold and jade Buddha statue was enshrined in the niche on the wall, and the words “quiet heart” were written on the wall next to it.
The old grand consort knelt on the wooden couch, showing her piety, moving the Buddhist beads in one hand, and chanting Buddhist scriptures in her mouth.
Chu Jingyue held her sword and leaned against the door, there was not even a small window in the room, and all the light came from the two oil lamps next to the niche.
Stop chanting, you can’t calm your heart here. Chu Jingyue said lightly.
The old grand consort was interrupted, she turned her head very dissatisfied, pointed to the position next to her, and said, Come over and kneel down, even if it’s useless, you have to kneel, kneel for the rules of the Prince’s mansion.
Rules? I am the least particular about rules. If she followed the rules, she would not abandon the traditional method of cultivation and go to cultivate the ruthless way.
The old grand consort twisted her body to look at her, her expression mean, You can’t help it, come on!
Several nannies and maids poured in at the door, making the already cramped space even more crowded.
Chu Jingyue glanced at them coldly, and the old grand consort got up and looked down proudly, You will stay here and let her kneel and meditate, and when will she know her mistake, then let her leave.
The old grand consort was helped away, Chu Jingyue slightly lowered her eyes, but did not resist.
Watching her leave with the nannies, she didn’t care much when she heard the sound of the lock falling.
As soon as the door of the quiet room was closed, the room became even darker.
Between the flickering candlelight, Chu Jingyue vaguely saw a strange figure in front of her.
Sure enough, there is a problem. She felt that the niche was abnormal as soon as she came in, and the color of the oil lamp was also biased.
Chu Jingyue stepped forward to check the wooden couch, the wooden couch exuded a faint fragrance, which could make people wake up a little if they smelled it.
The so-called quiet heart is nothing more than creating illusions first, and then dispelling the illusions, so that people mistakenly think that they are blessed by the Buddha.
The illusions in front of her became more and more real, a woman with disheveled hair and bleeding from her seven orifices pounced on her ferociously, and young children crawled towards her in strange postures.
Chu Jingyue was not in a hurry to dispel the illusions, but watched as an observer.
The longer you are in the illusion, the less your senses will perceive the outside world.
At this moment, Chu Jingyue’s ears were filled with the woman’s painful wailing, miserable and resentful, and the children’s cries lingered endlessly, as if to pierce her ears.
Pei Feng, who had rushed over, was surprised to see a row of locked quiet rooms. Seeing that there were nannies guarding them, he stepped forward and asked, Is the Princess inside? Our prince is not feeling well and needs the Princess to take care of him.
This… The nannies looked at each other, but the old grand consort hadn’t gone far, and when she heard Pei Feng’s words, she immediately said, You go back first, I will bring someone to see Si’er later.
After all, the other party was the old grand consort, and Pei Feng couldn’t say anything too tough, so he had to go back to find the prince first.
However, after a while, the old grand consort came over, but she didn’t bring Chu Jingyue, but Liu Siyu.
Prince, grandmother heard that you are not feeling well, so she asked me to come and take care of you. Liu Siyu said gently, and said in a low voice, The prince was seriously injured once, so you must take care of your body carefully.
Wenren Si raised his hand to avoid Liu Siyu’s action to take his pulse, and said with a deep look, Where is the Princess?
Chu Jingyue is rude and barbaric, and is not suitable for taking care of you, I let her stay in the quiet room. The old grand consort turned her eyes slightly, coughed lightly twice, and said as if crying:
Since the old prince passed away, I have worked hard to raise your father. At that time, I was a widow and suffered all kinds of cold eyes. I originally thought that I was finally getting better, but I didn’t expect to be angry with my granddaughter-in-law.
The Wenren family has always had more women than men, and there are many widows, so the Wenren family ancestral hall is one of the few ancestral halls that can be used by both men and women.
The old grand consort brought up the old things, wanting to arouse Wenren Si’s sympathy, but Pei Feng whispered next to him, Prince, when this subordinate went to find the Princess, he found that the doors of the quiet room were locked.
That is to say, the Princess can’t get out even if she wants to.
Wenren Si’s face changed slightly, ignoring his grandmother who was still selling miserably, and strode out.
Si’er! Now even you are going to be unfilial to me? Now in the huge Qi Prince’s mansion, no one listens to me? In this case, I might as well hit my head and die here.
The old grand consort pretended to hit her head, Wenren Si suppressed his irritable emotions and said in a deep voice, Even if Chu Jingyue is wrong, this grandson will teach her privately, rather than treat her harshly outside, does grandmother not want the face of the Qi Prince’s mansion?
Seeing this, Liu Siyu quickly stopped the old grand consort to give her a step down, and persuaded Wenren Si in a gentle voice, Prince, grandmother is just angry today, besides, this is not considered harsh treatment, it’s just going to the quiet room to practice, it will not damage the Prince’s mansion’s face.
Si’er, don’t apologize to your grandmother! As a grandson, how can you say such disrespectful words to your elders?
The Grand Madam rushed over after receiving the news, she also thought that the old grand consort was not wrong in this matter, it was really Chu Jingyue who was rude, she really had to be disciplined, otherwise the Prince’s mansion would be turned upside down by her.
Wenren Si pursed his lips and cupped his hands, just as he bent over to admit his mistake, he saw the nanny next to the old grand consort running over in a hurry.
It’s not good, the Princess is gone!
