HCB Chapter 246: Unleashing Nature in the Imperial Garden
Chapter 246: Unleashing Nature in the Imperial Garden
When Nanny Liu saw Queen Qin winking at her, she said,
"Please come in, Fang Liangdi."
Fang Qingge was soon taken to the small Buddhist temple in the back hall by Madam Liu, while her maid Mu Mian was ordered by Madam Liu to wait outside the temple.
*
In the small Buddhist temple,
The white jade statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, peaceful and compassionate, is enshrined in the center.
The lotus candles and candles gave off a faint glow, and the air was filled with the aroma of agarwood and sandalwood, making the entire small Buddhist hall solemn and sacred.
Fang Qingge's heart suddenly calmed down at this moment.
"Fang Liang Di, please kneel on the cushion over here! The paper, ink, brush and inkstone are ready, so start writing for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
Remember not to be lazy or play tricks, be sincere and the Buddha will bless you."
After saying this, Matron Liu kowtowed respectfully to the Buddha.
Fang Qingge saw a low, long desk placed under the carved window lattice, with all the necessary supplies such as pens, ink, paper and inkstone, and a futon on the ground, and he knew what was going on.
In ancient times, women would offer copied Buddhist scriptures when praying for blessings and peace. This was also a kind of spiritual sustenance!
Fang Qingge's heart calmed down. She did not believe in Buddhism before, but the fact of traveling through time made her have some respect and piety towards Bodhisattva.
She knew that the Bodhisattva would hear her heart.
For the sake of the prince, she would kneel down and carefully copy the Buddhist scriptures.
Another point is that Queen Qin is the prince's biological mother, and she doesn't want to ruin the relationship between the two.
Behaving well and respectfully in Kunning Palace is just to give face to the Queen Mother!
Fang Qingge glanced at the look in Matron Liu's eyes as she was watching her from the side. She knelt down in front of the Bodhisattva without any resistance, ground the ink, picked up the pen, and began to write stroke by stroke.
I just hope that the Buddhist scriptures written down by my pen can bring good luck to the prince far away...

Let's say,
royal garden,
In the cool and sunny weather of golden autumn, colorful flowers compete with each other for beauty.
The fragrant aroma attracted little bees that buzzed and sang while collecting nectar.
There are also butterflies dancing on the petals.
As soon as Xiao Huajiao, the younger sister held by Nanny Qi, entered the moon arch, her eyes lit up when she saw the colorful flowers. She clapped her chubby hands and shouted,
"Wow! So beautiful! Nanny, I want to get down. Put me down."
"Okay, little princess, please run slower."
"understood."
As soon as Nanny Qi put her down, the little girl ran away like a gust of wind.
My elder brother Xiao Bajiao also quickly slipped out of Nanny Sun's arms.
He shouted, "Sister, wait for me," and ran after his sister with a "clattering" sound.
"Hey, young master, please be careful with your clothes. Don't get them scratched."
Nanny Sun also shouted out in worry, wanting to chase after them with Nanny Qi.
Nanny Jiang hurriedly smiled and stopped him,
"Let them go and play! It's a rare opportunity to come to the Imperial Garden today."
The two nurses heard this and did not dare to shout. They slowed down their pace and followed behind. They were so shocked that they could not even see the sea of flowers in the imperial garden.

The two children walked hand in hand happily along the middle stone slab.
"Oh my! Brother, look, there are so many beautiful flowers! Wow! Wow! They smell so good! They smell so good!"
The little pepper has curved eyebrows and a beautiful smile.
Looking at this one, smelling that one, he stood among the flowers with his big, sparkling eyes, and screamed with excitement.
"Shh! Sister, mother said that it is not appropriate to make loud noises in public."
"Brother, there's no one here, I'm just smiling!"
Little Huajiao covered her mouth and giggled, making faces at her brother.
He turned around and shouted in surprise,
"Hey brother, the flowers over there are the biggest and most beautiful. Come on, let's get over there."
Having said that, she pulled her brother and ran into the sea of flowers.
"Eh? What is this flower called? It looks so familiar! Brother, this is white, this is red, this is pink, wow! There are also yellow and purple ones. Oh my! They smell so good! It would be nice if mom could come along."
The little pepper introduced the colors of the flowers one by one to his brother. He twitched his little nose, smelled the fragrance of the flowers and closed his cute big eyes, as if he was intoxicated.
"Peony."
The brother Xiao Bajiao looked at his sister's childish but truly intoxicated look and told her the name of the flower.
Little Pepper opened his eyes immediately and suddenly realized,
"Ah? Yes, that's Shaoyao. Brother is the best. I can't even tell them apart!
I wanted to say this is a peony, no, it’s a big rose, hehehe… I’m too embarrassed to say it!”
Upon hearing this, brother Xiao Bajiao rolled his eyes at his sister, saying, "I knew you would say that."
*
When the adults who followed behind heard the childish words of the brother and sister, they couldn't stop smiling.
"Oh? Nanny Jiang, you and the nurse shouldn't come over here. There are flowers and plants on the ground here. You adults can't step on them."
Brother Xiao Bajiao watched his sister go deep into the flowers, and was afraid that the adults would trample on these beautiful flowers and plants again, so he shouted to stop them.
"Okay, little grandson. The servants know this and won't follow you. You two better be careful, watch out for the thorns and don't fall."
The Queen's maid Miaoyin responded, and she was also amused by the cuteness of the babies.
"I know." The voice of brother Xiao Bajiao sounded.
Miaoyin got a response and turned to Madam Jiang and the two nurses and said,
"Madam Jiang, don't worry! The Imperial Garden is very safe. We can just go to the pavilion next to it and watch. The terrain over there is higher."
“Aunt Miaoyin, will the emperor and the ladies come here?”
Nanny Qi and Nanny Sun were out for a walk for the first time, and they asked a little fearfully.
"Don't worry! Our emperor doesn't have the time to come here. The ladies in the palaces usually come here when the sun is not shining. Of course, they come here occasionally.
You just follow the two young masters and enjoy the benefits! This is not a place for us slaves to come."
Upon hearing this, Nanny Jiang looked around and saw that indeed none of the emperor's concubines had come to play, so there was no need to worry about being bumped into.
Nodding his head in agreement,
"Wutong, Cuihua, don't worry. I'm familiar with this place, and it's still far from the pond. Just listen to Aunt Miaoyin and stay in the pavilion, and watch over the two young masters from there."
"Okay! Aunt Jiang."
"Little grandson, little princess, the nurse is over here in the pavilion. If you need anything, please call her. Do you hear me?"
"I heard!"
Little Bajiao poked his head out from among the flowers that were taller than him and responded loudly, then "swooshed" back into the flowers.
The two children finally let their nature go, laughing happily, "Hehe, hehe..."
The four adults listened to the laughing and cheerful children, and felt happy, so they walked to the pavilion with peace of mind.

At the same time, Concubine Xiao in Ruyi Palace also received the secret report.
She rolled her eyes and waved to her grandson Chang Ge'er.
"Chang'er, come on, let's go, grandma will take you to play in the Imperial Garden?"
