Pearl in the Palm

When Ye Lizhu woke up, she felt tight in her chest.

She has been in poor health since she was born. Ye Lizhu was born when she was born on the fifteenth day of July. When she was a child, the eminent monk said that she wanted to live, it is best to be a monk, and spend her life in the temple.

However, Ye Lizhu’s father loved her most. A good daughter, how could she be willing to become a nun?

When she was three years old, Ye Lizhu’s nurse was careless, she forgot to close the window before going to bed in the winter night, which caused her to be frozen all night, became seriously ill, and nearly died of fever.

Ye Lizhu’s father is the current prime minister. Prime Minister Ye invited a famous doctor to treat her and barely saved her life. However, when Ye Lizhu was five years old, Prime Minister Ye looked at her getting weaker and weaker, and never dared to stay at home anymore. He sent Ye Lizhu to Mingfo Temple. From then on, Prime Minister Ye met Ye Lizhu only during the holidays. .

Ye Lizhu has been practicing in Ming Buddhist Temple for nearly ten years, and in two months, it will be her fifteenth birthday.

In recent days, her health is getting worse. She often coughs, chest tightness, and blood stains on her veil. The temple abbot said that Ye Lizhu would not cut her hair into a nun and break away from the common customs. The Buddha can no longer protect her and let her go as soon as possible. Going home, maybe you can meet a noble person.

Ye Lizhu opened the cyan gauze tent with one hand.

She just woke up, her black hair fell loosely, like a cloud, and her white clothes were loose and scattered, revealing a delicate and slender collarbone.

Ye Lizhu was born very moving. She didn’t know that the nuns in the temple never discussed women’s looks, but in truth, Ye Lizhu was indeed a stunner.

Although she is young, she is extremely soft, like a weak willow, her complexion is like ice and snow, and she is naturally charming, especially with a pair of peach eyes and a stream of spring water, always seeming to seduce others. But the brows were born with a little cinnabar red, which dilutes the flattery on her body and adds a bit of charm to her.

The coexistence of femininity and innocence is the most deadly.

Because of her poor health, her face is often pale, and her lips are pale pink. No one is allowed to wait in the temple. Ye Lizhu wears clothes and washes herself.

She took a cyan robe, shrouded her exquisite figure, sat by the window, gathered up her ink hair, and put on a little cyan hat.

Ye Lizhu went to the back mountain and took a handful of mountain spring water to wash her face and hands. When she was about to return, she heard two familiar voices.

“I heard from Master that Zhuzhu is going back this month.”

“Zhuzhu going back? Where are you going back?”

The two people who spoke were two young disciples next to Master Wu Xin, the abbot of Ming Buddhist Temple. One was called Qingshuang and the other was called Qinghui.

Qing Shuang said: “By the way, you don’t know. When Zhu Zhu came to the temple, you had not yet become a monk. Master has never talked about it. Zhu Zhu is not an ordinary lady, but the daughter of a high official. The official saw Zhuzhu’s father and still kneel down. Zhuzhu has grown to fifteen years old, and the master wants her to go back.”

Qinghui knows that Ye Lizhu usually has no arrogance, is not arrogant or indifferent. Although her body is a little worse, everyone in the temple likes her. Hearing that Ye Lizhu is going to leave, Qinghui feels a little uncomfortable: “Ah? Zhuzhu is going to go? I was before. I also said that when I save enough money for alms, I will buy a beautiful pearl hairpin for Zhuzhu.”

Everyone in the temple is shaved, except Ye Lizhu, who has beautiful long hair. Although he can’t see it with a hat, everyone else knows it. Qinghui thought that Ye Lizhu had already become a monk and was practicing spiritual cultivation.

“Huh, you’re not worried that you won’t be able to buy pearl hairpins for the beads, but you worry that the beads are gone, and no one will go down the mountain with you at the end of the month, you coward!” Qingshuang muttered, “These years, beads Zhu Zhu’s father came back to see during the holidays and he also donated a lot of money. However, Zhu Zhu’s mother had never been there. I heard that Zhu Zhu’s mother gave Zhu Zhu a younger brother, Qinghui, do you think Zhu Zhu After Zhu returns home, will he be bullied?”

Qinghui didn’t know, they never said this in the temple, and Master Wu Xin didn’t let them discuss mundane matters, so she just talked about it in private.

Qinghui raised the bucket and said, “I will tell Zhuzhu when I look back, if she doesn’t like her home and is bullied, and she should come back early, we and Master will like her.”

Ye Lizhu’s hands were still wet and wet, so she wiped her eyes.

Ye Lizhu sees his father twice a year. Within two days of seeing his father, he has to go back to the capital again. As for her mother, Ye Lizhu had never seen it when she came to Mingfo Temple.

Father often said that his mother was not very strong and could not travel far, so for ten years, Ye Lizhu only thought about it in his dreams.

She came to Mingfo Temple when she was five years old. Before she was five, she didn’t remember clearly, nor did she remember her mother’s appearance.

Her father mentioned her younger brother to her once before, but Ye Lizhu didn’t remember much at the time. Now he can understand Shuang’s illocutionary meaning, her mother didn’t come to see herself because of her younger brother. Ye Lizhu felt a little bit sorrowful in her heart.

But only for a moment.

She couldn’t speculate at will in her heart without returning home and seeing her family.

Ye Lizhu cleaned the courtyard, and the sound of the piano could be heard from a distance. It was Master Wu Xin playing the piano.

Over the years, Ye Lizhu has studied piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in the temple, and Master Wu Xin is teaching her.

After washing hands and changing clothes, Ye Lizhu made a cup of tea and sent it to Master Wu Xin’s room.

Master Wu Xin was so clear-cut and otherworldly, Ye Lizhu put the tea down: “Master, please use tea.”

Master Wu Xin nodded too much: “Lizhu, you should also use the vegetarian meal.”

Ye Lizhu was about to turn around, when Master Wu Xin called her again: “Lizhu.”

Lizhu raised her eyes to Master Wu Xin.

“You return to the dunya, you can’t come back. Once you decide to return to the secular world, you can’t turn back.” Master Wu Xin said, “Stay, the Buddha can keep you safe for your life, if you leave, your life or death is uncertain.”

Lizhu smiled slightly: “Master, the disciple has already thought about it, and the disciple doesn’t want to be a monk.”

“The six roots of the disciple are not cleansed, and the red is not there. The world has debts for the disciple to repay, and the disciple can’t shirk it. Whether it is life or death, the disciple will have no regrets or regrets when he makes a decision.”

After coming out of Master Wu Xin’s clean room, the sunlight just fell on the ground through the treetops, Ye Lizhu raised his head and looked into the distance. The distance was deep with grass and trees, and the sound of birds chirped.

A thrush bird flew up and suddenly stopped on Ye Lizhu’s shoulder. Ye Lizhu touched its back. It gently pecked Ye Lizhu’s finger with its beak, then patted its wings and flew away.

Ye Lizhu entered the hall, took the vegetarian meal, and sat beside Qingshuang and Qinghui.

Qinghui looked at Ye Lizhu with her eyes from time to time.

Ye Lizhu curled her lips: “Qinghui, what am I doing? There are words on my face?”

Qinghui said: “Zhuzhu, do you want to leave, I have something to tell you…”

Before the words finished, Qing Shuang squeezed Qinghui, took a bun and stuffed it into Qinghui’s mouth, and said to Ye Lizhu: “Zhuzhu, your porridge is going to be cold, hurry up and eat the porridge.”

Ye Lizhu smiled and lowered her head to drink the porridge. She has a small appetite and is always the fastest to finish it.

When Ye Lizhu left, Qinghui said: “Qingshuang, why did you pinch me just now and didn’t let me talk?”

Qing Shuang poke Qinghui’s forehead: “I know why Master named you Qinghui? Because you are stupid, I gave you a word of wisdom, I hope you can be smarter!”

Qinghui was poked into tears.

Qingshuang said: “Zhuzhu is going home soon, she must be full of joy, and she is especially looking forward to meeting her family. You must not pour cold water and say that the family is not good, and you don’t understand whether you don’t understand? Zhuzhu is not stupid. Master often said that Zhuzhu is the smartest among us. If it is good to go home, she will know at that time, you should not defeat her interest in advance.”

Qinghui said, “I didn’t want to say so much, I just wanted to say that Zhuzhu is going away, but I promised her that she still has no money to buy the pearl hairpin. Alas. Qingshuang, can you lend me two private money? “

Qing Shuang: “…”

…

Ye Fuan confessed the matter to his staff early, and asked for a few days off in front of the emperor, saying that he would take his daughter back.

The emperor knew the prime minister Ye Fuan’s ability to handle affairs and how to behave in the world. He suddenly heard that Ye Fuan had a daughter. The emperor was also very curious and asked a few more questions.

Ye Fuan likes his baby daughter the most. From the time Ye Lizhu was born, he could not wait to look at his daughter day and night.

The emperor wanted to ask, Ye Fuan was humble first, and then calmly praised Ye Lizhu as a rare talented woman and beauty that is hard to find on earth.

The Ye family has been loyal and good for generations, and they are all civil servants. Although Ye Fu’an is cruel and frightens some people, he is loyal to the country and the people. The emperor did not do much, so mediocrity relied on his loyal ministers.

He has six princes. The emperor loves the imperial concubine the most, and naturally prefers the second prince under the imperial concubine’s knees. Recently, the emperor wanted to abolish the prince and make the second prince the prince.

But the prince was very powerful, and was backed by King Qin who had 600,000 soldiers. The queen is the elder sister of the king of Qin, and the prince is the nephew of the king of Qin. The king of Qin is decisive in killing and smashing the world. With the emperor’s ten courage, the emperor did not dare to abolish the prince.

He didn’t dare, it didn’t mean he didn’t want to. Recently, when the wind blew by the noble concubine’s pillow, the emperor was about to move, trying to pull the neutral Prime Minister Ye to the second prince.

“Yi’er hasn’t married the imperial concubine yet, Miss Ye is so smart, I want to do a marriage for them.”

The emperor and Prime Minister Ye are not the only ones in the study, but also a few powerful officials.

Prime Minister Ye smiled and touched his beard: “The minister wants the little girl to marry the second prince, but the little girl has a good temperament. Even if she is weak and difficult to serve, she won’t be sent to the monastery to support her. The minister heard the second. There are several concubines in the room of the prince. The little girl is in poor body. When she is slightly bumped by the concubine, she must have passed out of anger. When the time comes, if the little girl has shortcomings, the veteran will definitely not be able to live, and leave with the little girl. “

After hearing this, the emperor hesitated.

The second prince was a little bit bothered, Ye Nu was fateful, and it was nothing to ruin her to death.

If I was afraid, I was afraid that Ye Nu would be angry to death. Ye Fuan, the villain, would not die, but would retaliate against the second prince.

In addition, listening to Ye Fuan’s meaning, if Ye Nu enters the door, other concubines cannot exist. The most important thing for the royal family is to spread the branches and leaves. At that time, the emperor’s most feared is that Ye Nu’s body is weak and unable to give birth to others. , And even teamed up with her father to frame up other concubines, leaving the second prince without heirs.

The emperor smiled and said: “Yi’er is reckless. Since Ye Qing values ​​his beloved daughter so much, I am not willing to let such a good daughter be ruined by Yi’er. The land of Shu paid tribute to some silks and satin and waited for Ye Qing to bring them to Ye. Miss.”

Ye Fuan came out of the upper study, his face was red. How could his precious daughter spoil Zhao Yi this pervert?

He was just boasting about his daughter, showing off, his jewel in the palm of Ye Fuan, could others just marry if they wanted to?
