Adore Trick of Beauty

Hearing this, Qingyuan couldn't help but turn around and look at Nie Wushuang, lowering his eyes: "I don't know what Benefactor Nie means."

Nie Wushuang chuckled, but the smile did not reach her eyes. She looked at Qingyuan with sharp eyes: "Then what does Master Qingyuan really mean? Is he accusing Nie Wushuang of having no good intentions? We must have good intentions like that general. , can you survive in the world by letting your enemies go?"

Qingyuan proclaimed the Buddha's name and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Donor Nie's heart is too violent and he can't let go of hatred. Hatred can blind people. The young monk thought, maybe it's time for Donor Nie to let go of the hatred in his heart." As the saying goes, it is better to make friends than to make enemies. The young monk talked to Gu Xiangguo many times. Although he didn't say it, he was quite regretful in his words."

Nie Wushuang smiled coldly: "Master Qingyuan can sacrifice his life to save a tiger, but he never thought that the tiger you save might hurt someone's life one day. At that time, will the tiger harm people, or will you harm people? In the same way, I If you let go of the hatred in your heart and let him go. But those who harmed the Nie family will be killed. If I die by then, will it be he who harms me, or master, who will harm me? The Dharma is boundless and compassionate, master. Is it forming a good relationship, or is it causing evil consequences?"

She pressed him step by step, causing cold sweat to drip on Qingyuan's forehead. Nie Wushuang looked at the thousand stone steps and leisurely stepped onto the last step. She climbed up and looked into the distance. All the thousand-color mountain scenery was at her feet. She looked up at the clouds passing by in the sky and smiled coldly: "The so-called kindness of people." Evil, Master Qingyuan, you will never be able to see as clearly as I!"

…rich…

Nie Wushuang lived in Donglin Temple, where he studied morning and evening every day, followed the monks in the temple to attend morning and evening classes, went to bed as soon as it got dark every day, and got up as soon as it started to dawn. The quiet life in the monastery makes people feel calm. When Eunuch Yang brought the rich reward from Empress Dowager Gao to Nie Wushuang from the palace, he couldn't help but praise: "Mr. Nie is becoming more and more calm now."

Nie Wushuang smiled slightly: "You can clarify your thinking by jumping out of right and wrong. Now in the palace, who does the emperor most often invite to sleep with you?"

Eunuch Yang seemed to know that she would ask this question, and after thinking for a moment he said: "It's nothing more than Concubine Shu and Concubine Yun. The emperor also invited Concubine Yu to enjoy the flowers and the moon together."

"Where is the Yamei?" Nie Wushuang asked.

Eunuch Yang shook his head. Nie Wushuang thought about it carefully: "Eunuch Yang can bring a message to the Yamei people when he goes back. If possible, we can prepare a whole banquet for the Jade Concubine to come forward and invite the Emperor to have a few drinks with the moon."

Eunuch Yang looked at Nie Wushuang carefully, and then said after a while: "This is the first time that I have seen a concubine in the harem pushing the emperor to another concubine. There must be a deep meaning in what Nie Mei did, but I can't understand it."

Nie Wushuang sighed lightly: "If I didn't have a backer to rely on, I wouldn't have to seek allies in the palace."

"But how does Nie Meiren know that Jade Concubine and Yamei are your most loyal allies?" Yang Zhi frowned.

"So we can only take a gamble, right? Anyway, the emperor is suspicious of me now. It is better to push the emperor to the Yamei people than to push the emperor to the enemy, isn't it?" Nie Wushuang smiled slightly.

Yang Zhi couldn't stay long, so he put down the reward from Empress Dowager Gao and set off back to the palace in another courtyard. Before leaving, Nie Wushuang handed him a Buddhist scripture that he had copied: "This is a Buddhist scripture that I copied by myself. It is a precious and unique copy in Donglin Temple. I give it to the Queen Mother. I wish the Queen Mother good health."

Yang passed directly and resigned calmly.

Nie Wushuang stayed in Donglin Temple for a few days. There are two separate courtyards for pilgrims to rest in Donglin Temple. One is behind the temple for the royal family to rest, and the other is a Zen room on the left side of the temple for ordinary pilgrims to rest. The two villas are not close to each other. Nie Wushuang was enjoying the cool under the Bodhi Book in the temple one day when he suddenly saw Xia Lan walking over. She was vaguely excited, as if she had seen something interesting.

When she arrived in front of Nie Wushuang, she said with a smile: "Mr. Nie, there is a crazy student in the temple. He says he has great talents and is debating with the pilgrims over there in the monastery."

Nie Wushuang became interested: "How is his eloquence?"

Xia Lan shook her head and said with a smile: "I don't know how this slave knows, but I found it interesting when I saw that Kuangsheng talking about the few scholars who were said to be here to enjoy the mountains and rivers."

Nie Wushuang also found it interesting: "Is this worth visiting?"

Ming Qiu on the side hesitated: "Nie Meiren, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, right?" Nie Wushuang knew that she was referring to her identity as a palace concubine. After thinking about it for a while, he ordered: "Go and get my gauze hat. Long gauze Cover your face, they won’t recognize me.”

Mingqiu just went, but he was worried, so he called a strong chamberlain to pretend to be a follower, and then he and Nie Wushuang went to the temple to see which madman was arguing. Nie Wushuang arrived in front of the temple and saw pilgrims gathered around listening to a thin-faced scholar in Confucian uniform speaking loudly. Nie Wushuang listened closer and understood that he was criticizing Ying Guo's bad government. Why does the Gao family have exclusive power, and every place supports its own troops... The more I listen to it, the more I feel that this mad man is extremely arrogant.

The surrounding pilgrims listened with great interest at first, but the more they listened, the more they felt something was wrong, and they all went into the temple to worship the Buddha and burn incense. Who in the peaceful and prosperous times would want to get into unnecessary trouble because of such nonsense remarks? After a while, only Nie Wushuang was left in front of Kuangsheng, still listening with interest.

The madman was so talkative that his mouth went dry. When he stopped to ask for a drink of water, he realized that the only audience left was a young woman covered by a gauze hat. The gauze hat covered her face, but her beautiful face could be vaguely seen. , still smiling.

Kuangsheng was not crazy at this time, and bowed: "Madam, do you think what Xiaosheng said hits the key points of current affairs?"

Nie Wushuang smiled slightly: "I only know that this young master will probably die soon." He criticized the country's ills in front of the royal temple.

I'm afraid I really don't have long to live.

Kuang Sheng laughed loudly: "I dare to say that, of course I dare to be a teacher. Otherwise, I will be a mediocre teacher for the rest of my life, or else I will be a vigorous pawn of the emperor's revolution. Even if I die, I will still be able to do it." Death is life.”

Nie Wushuang looked at him with a smile and said slowly: "Master, why do you only think about death? Maybe if you don't die, you can retain your useful talents and leave a name for future generations."

Kuang Chang sighed: "Nowadays, poor children have no way to become officials. Even if they go through all the hard work to get admitted, they will be squeezed out by the children of the noble family in various ways. It is difficult, very difficult to let the emperor know his talents."

"So this young master just set up a storyteller stall in Donglin Temple and waited for the emperor to find you?" Nie Wushuang asked with a smile.

Kuangsheng couldn't help but trembled, and his clear eyes couldn't help but stare at Nie Wushuang: "How does this lady know?"

Nie Wushuang slowly turned around and said calmly: "If this young master wants Bole to fall in love with you, please come with me. Before the government arrests you for spreading rumors to confuse the public."

Kuangsheng hesitated for a while, wiped his sweat, and quickly followed Nie Wushuang. He saw that Nie Wushuang was walking in a different direction from ordinary pilgrims, and his heart couldn't help but pounding. He didn't know whether it was cold sweat or hot sweat on his head. After a while, Nie Wushuang's villa arrived. The Kuangsheng looked at the exquisite courtyard in front of him, looked back at Nie Wushuang, and sighed: "It turns out that this young student has actually met a noble person."

Nie Wushuang smiled and asked him to enter the flower hall in her pavilion. After sitting down, she took off the veil on her face and said: "I can't be exposed easily. I hope you will forgive me."

Seeing her beautiful face, Kuangsheng glanced at her a few more times, and then said calmly: "If Xiaosheng guessed correctly, the empress must be a concubine of the royal family."

He said and bowed down quickly. Nie Wushuang only smiled and did not respond. At this time, she took a serious look at Kuang Sheng in front of her, and saw that his Confucian scholar's uniform was very shabby. Although his face was handsome, he was vaguely disheveled. He probably lived a very embarrassing life, but his demeanor was indescribably noble and arrogant.

She was sizing him up, and Kuang Sheng also let her sizing him up. He said, "The young man's surname is Liu, his given name is Yu Cheng, and his given name is Ming Shi."

"It turns out it's Mr. Liu." Nie Wushuang asked Xia Lan to serve tea and said gently: "It seems that Mr. Liu must have been desperate when he came to Donglin Temple this time. If you really can't meet someone who appreciates you, then what will happen to the young master in the future?" What should I do?" She pointedly looked at the holes in his clothes.

Liu Yucheng looked slightly embarrassed and said awkwardly: "I have sold my only ancestral home in order to come to Donglin Temple. If I go back and achieve nothing, I am afraid I will really be embarrassed to see others."

Xia Lan couldn't help but laugh. Nie Wushuang glared at her reproachfully and comforted him with gentle words: "Young servant is rude, don't mind Mr. Liu." Liu Yucheng shook his head: "Your Majesty's words are serious. The world sees Xiaosheng's behavior like this. Everyone laughs at Xiaosheng because he is crazy. So this sister laughs at Xiaosheng, as Xiaosheng deserves."

Nie Wushuang saw that his words were sincere. Apart from being extreme and high-spirited in discussing current affairs, he was actually not that stubborn and unreasonable. Instead, he had the cuteness of a poor scholar. She calmly explained to him for a while, then slowly said: "Master Liu, how do you think Yingguo's bad government can be eradicated?"

"Severe punishments!" Liu Yucheng's eyes couldn't help but sparkle when he mentioned current affairs: "The current emperor is benevolent, but overly benevolent administration will only make those famous families have the idea of ​​luck, so if you don't kill him, you won't scare the monkeys!"
