The palace is quiet, and the empress of the cold palace is acting as a demon

Chapter 470 Extraordinarily Different
Nanhong Mountain is not high, and the scenery is not so beautiful. Occasionally, there are streams flowing through the mountains, gurgling down, and I don't know if there are fish or shrimp.

Qin Wan hadn't gone out for an outing for a long time, and was in a great mood.

Thinking back carefully, she was rarely able to go out for outings with Ning Yi in the past, and the occasional few times were all with heavy thoughts, and there were very few times when she put everything down and just had fun.

Xun Che followed Qin Wan. He was dressed in white and looked handsome and handsome, which complemented the Cuiling Mountain Spring.Qin Wan really wanted to have a camera to take a picture of him at this moment.

"Master Che, have you ever painted yourself?" Qin Wan asked suddenly.

"Self-portrait, that's not it." Xun Che said with a smile.

"If you want it, you can give me one."

Xun Che: "I am here, why do I need a portrait?"

Qin Wan: "That's true."

A small stream appeared by the side of the road going up the mountain. Qin Wan was by the stream when he suddenly saw a fish: "Master Che, come and see, there are fish here."

"Wan'er, you should call me by another name."

"Change your name..." Qin Wan raised an eyebrow, "What do you want me to call you?"

"Just call me by my name," Xun Che said.

Qin Wan: "Xun Che."

Xun Che: "Yes."

After walking the mountain road for a while, they saw Hongshan Temple in the middle of the mountain.The temple is simple and unsophisticated, occupying a small area, and the buildings are all traditional brick and stone barriers, which are not special. The old plaque says the name of the temple is hung on the lintel, and there is an incense burner standing in the courtyard. It seems that the incense is not flourishing.

Qin Wan offered incense devoutly, put his hands together and bowed.

"Xun Che, don't you pay your respects?" Qin Wan saw Xun Che standing quietly at the side, just watched her offering incense, but didn't intend to participate.

Xun Che shook his head: "If I have a wish, I want to fulfill it by myself."

Qin Wan smiled: "I won't make a wish either."

"What were you thinking when you just offered incense that night?" Xun Che asked.

"Respect Buddhism, respect wisdom, respect the unknown." Qin Wan turned to look at Xun Che, and smiled slightly.

Hearing what Qin Wan said, Xun Che suddenly realized something: "Mother and aunt both worship Buddha, and I heard them talk about it since I was a child. I just felt bored at that time, but today, after hearing what you said, I suddenly became interested in this Buddhism." .”

"Then I recommend you to read the Taoist classics." Qin Wan smiled with his hands behind his back. "I am a Buddhist and Taoist. I don't just memorize Buddhist scriptures. I also come to Taoist classics with my mouth open."

"Then what were you thinking in the Taoist temple?" Xun Che asked curiously.

"Respect the heaven and earth, respect nature, and respect the growth of all things." Qin Wan replied.

Xun Che froze for a moment, and looked at Qin Wan differently, she could always show different sides at different times.At this moment, she was standing here, chatting with him about Buddhist and Taoist scriptures, about the grand universe of heaven and earth, she was detached like a mortal woman, with an ethereal air of immortality.

But Xun Che hadn't recovered from this thought, Qin Wan suddenly didn't know what to look for in the grass, and then ran over happily with his hands clasped and shouted to him: "Xun Che! Look! I Caught a blue-tailed skink!"

The little fairy in my eyes was so down-to-earth in an instant that she grabbed the gecko with her bare hands, and Xun Che didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

"I didn't expect there to be such a beautiful skink here. Do you have something to pack? Take it back and sell it in a pharmacy for a good price." Qin Wan said excitedly.

Xun Che looked left and right to see if there were any pilgrims or monks. He lowered his head and reminded Qin Wan, "Wan'er, Buddhism doesn't teach you not to kill. Is it not good for you to do so?"

Qin Wan was taken aback for a moment: "Yeah... But Buddhism also saves lives like building a seven-level pagoda. Maybe this little skink can save lives. If I let it go, it may be because there is no If you die from this medicine, even if you don’t die, you will still suffer from illness. Then you think I should care about its life or the patient’s life?”

Xun Che was a little confused by Qin Wan's question, and suddenly remembered what Xun Cheng had said about her sophistry in the academy, and really didn't know how to answer her question.

Qin Wan looked at the little skink, then at the statue of Buddha in the main hall of the temple, sighed deeply, and let it go.

"Why did you let it go again?" Xun Che asked.

Qin Wan shrugged: "I suddenly thought, everything in the world is neither expensive nor cheap, and I have no right to exchange its life for the lives of others. Besides, it is fate to meet me, so people should cherish the fate in front of them and don't think too much about it." Far."

Xun Che: "Wan'er, I think you are very different today."

"Really?" Qin Wan chuckled and said in a low voice, "That's because of the pure place of Buddhism, I really can't do anything to you, no matter what, I have to restrain myself, and I can't be so presumptuous in front of the Buddha. If I If I kiss you here and pinch you, I think the monks will kick me out with a broom."

After speaking, Qin Wan bounced around to the back of the hall to look at the forest of steles left by the ancients.

Xun Che's ears turned red, and he followed with a smile.

……

On Zou Cheng's way back to Hancheng, Wu Ya galloped on his horse and stopped Ning Xizhao's team: "His Royal Highness King Zhao, report urgently!"

Ning Xizhao frowned: "Say!"

Wu Ya: "The spies reported that Xun Che, the second son of the Xun family, did not return to Qingzhou, but stayed in Yunxia Academy. Not only that..."

Ning Xizhao's face turned cold instantly: "Go ahead!"

Wu Ya: "Today, that empress went to Hongshan Temple in Hongshan, south of Zoucheng, with others. Because Anyousi's people are nearby, our people can't get close to verify the identity of that person."

Ning Xizhao clenched the rein tightly, his knuckles cracking, and he turned the horse's head abruptly: "Command! Return to Zoucheng and go to Hongshan Temple immediately!"

On the post road, Ning Xizhao's team galloped back to Zoucheng.His heart was clenched tightly.Yesterday she urged them to return to Cold City like that, saying that she didn't want to see Miaomiao lonely, that she didn't want to participate in the government affairs, and didn't want to interfere with the progress of the political reform. It turned out that those were just her reasons.

Ning Xizhao felt that the anger in his chest could not be calmed down. He rushed to Zoucheng to spend the holiday with her, but she beat him away with a few words after a meal.She wailed in front of them and said that she missed Emperor Ning, and that she would go outing with other men today.

He wanted to see what kind of man Qin Wan would be so protective of, he would not hesitate to give up his royal status, leave his sons and daughters behind, and would rather linger in this Zoucheng Academy.

……

Qin Wan finished paying homage to every temple in Hongshan Temple, then left through the back door, and climbed up the mountain step by step along the stone steps.

Hongshan is not high, surrounded by continuous Dongyi hills and fertile plains.Standing on the top of the mountain and looking out, Qin Wan's mood suddenly brightened.

She climbed onto a rock and spread her arms, feeling the wind on the top of the mountain.The mountain wind blows over her hair and face, bringing a cool temperature, which is very pleasant.

Xun Che stayed by her side, for fear that she would accidentally fall down.

"Xun Che, I see that you have painted mountains and seas before. Which do you like more?" Qin Wan asked seriously.

Xun Che: "I haven't thought about it, how about you?"

Qin Wan made a small trumpet with both hands and said loudly to Xun Che: "I like you more!"

Xun Che couldn't be fooled by Qin Wan again, his face was flushed and he smiled, not knowing how to reply to her abrupt sentence.

"Xun Che, let me ask you again." Qin Wan jumped off the rock and asked Xun Che seriously, "Wind and cloud, rain and snow, red sun and sky, fame and wealth, what do you prefer?" ?”

Xun Che replied eagerly, "Of course I like you more."

"Then what do you like about me?" Qin Wan asked.

Xun Che squeezed Qin Wan's face, thought for a while and said, "I like that you are freer than the wind, more unpredictable than the clouds, sadder than the rain, more transparent than the snow, more enthusiastic than the red sun, brighter than the sky, heavier than the fame, and heavier than the fame." Wealth is better than everything in the world, so I feel very lucky to meet you like you love you."

Qin Wan was completely startled by Xun Che's words, and kept his mouth shut for a long time before speaking.

"Xun Che, why didn't I realize that you are so good at talking before? Say it again, I didn't remember."

"Don't say it."

"Listen well, I want to listen to it again."

"I forgot."

"Oh, say it again."

"Do you want me to say it again?"

"Tell me, I'm listening."

"it is good……"

"Well……"
