After the new widow, I became a tyrant's tender outer chamber

Chapter 5 Provocation
Shenghe Temple is the largest temple in central Beijing, accommodating more than [-] monks and burning incense all year round. There is also a special wing room in the backyard to accommodate temporary pilgrims and receive dignitaries.

This time, the son and the concubine lived in the backyard of the temple when they worshiped the Buddha and ate fast.

Ruan Yuyi and Mu Xiang climbed the long steps all the way, and it took a long time to reach the place.

Walking to the center of the main hall, you can see the huge golden Buddha statue almost reaching the beams of the house, shining brightly in the soft morning light, which is not insignificant.On the tribute platform in front of it, there are a lot of melon and fruit cakes, which are specially replaced by monks every two days.

There was a faint scent of incense in the surroundings, which made the visitor calm down and lower his voice.

It was indeed still early, and there was only a young novice sweeping in the hall.

"Mu Xiang, do you know who is Prince Yu's son?" Ruan Yuyi whispered in Mu Xiang's ear.

Mu Xiang shook her head and replied, "Miss, I will recognize you wherever you go in and out with me."

She shook her head, pursed her lips and smiled, "I made a mistake, I should have brought the wood spirit with me. She beat Xiaochang in Beijing, so she probably recognized her."

However, where the son is, there should be guards, and it is not difficult to find it.

The two skipped the little novice and walked towards the side door leading to the backyard, but the little novice ignored them, maybe it was normal to see such early pilgrims.

After a little detour, the two finally found a place.The gate of the courtyard here is ajar, and the recitation of Buddhist scriptures can be faintly heard from inside, orderly and low, and the sound can be heard.

Ruan Yuyi pursed her lips, and just took a few steps forward when she was stopped by the guard at the door.

"Who is coming? No one else is allowed to enter here."

Ruan Yuyi lowered her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes, her voice was soft and sweet, "Brother, I lost a hairpin here a few days ago, I think it fell inside, can you let me go in and look for it?"

Fortunately, Shenghe Temple upholds the equality of all living beings, and all the rooms in the backyard are open to the common people, regardless of high or low, otherwise this excuse will not hold water.

She looked into the other person's eyes, her eyelashes were closed, her eyes were full of begging, hoping to get a positive answer.

Unexpectedly, the guard didn't change his face, and snorted coldly, "Girl, do you know that someone has already used your excuse?" These girls are used to this kind of clumsy little trick, you know, this one will not accept it.

Ruan Yuyi was overwhelmed, her face turned red.

She glanced at the gap in the door, and became more and more sure that the one inside was Prince Yu.According to what the guard meant, she might not be the only one who made excuses like her to try to tease the prince.

It was impossible to go in directly, so she had to find another way.

She pretended to walk away, but in fact she was looking for a low wall that was unguarded, but the wall here was one and a half times her height, even if Mu Xiang could lift her up, it was hard not to make a movement.

When she was in trouble, Mu Xiang exclaimed in a low voice, "Miss, look over there!"

Ruan Yuyi looked in the direction she indicated, and saw a narrow gate in front of her, but she couldn't see the front through it, and it happened to be blocked by a thick banyan tree.

The branches of this tree extend straight out of the high wall, and there are many red ribbons tied on each branch-it is an old tree for pilgrims to pray for.

The two went to check and found that there was still a gap between the tree and the door for one person to pass through, so Ruan Yuyi gathered up her skirt and squeezed in carefully.

The scene in front of her eyes suddenly widened, and the sound of chanting became clearer. Ruan Yuyi followed the sound and found that the sound was coming from a room not far away. Although there were no monks, there was a young man in black brocade clothes with dark patterns standing at the door .

A jade crown tied his black hair high. He was tall and tall, and he had an outstanding temperament. With just one glance, he let others know that he was not the son of an ordinary family.

Ruan Yuyi stood under the banyan tree, thought for a moment, and then untied a red rope with regret in her heart.I hope people don't blame her, she has to borrow this prayer object as a last resort.

She raised her hand, and the thin sleeves slipped off her arm, revealing a section of her white forearm.She tiptoed and asked Mu Xiang, "Do you think this is feasible?"

Mu Xiang smiled and praised, "If the servant is a man, he must also like Miss." She said, she moved to a corner, so that when the time comes, she can avoid it.

Ruan Yuyi was always restless, worried that if the branches were found too high, it would look rude if she raised her hands too much; she was also worried that this method would be cumbersome and it would be inconvenient to answer later, so she practiced it over and over again.

She didn't know how she raised her head slightly, and her neck was as clean as jade under the shade of black hair, so it would make people think about it.The long red rope fell on her hand, making her skin whiter than the snow, which was even more stunning than the redness of the trees hanging down.

The chanting over there continued calmly for a long time.

The early morning in autumn was already a bit chilly, Ruan Yuyi couldn't bear the chill, her body wrapped in the gauze was shivering slightly under the cool wind, it was very pitiful to look at.

But she still stubbornly stood where she was, waiting for the man to come.

I don't know how long it has passed, when she felt a little dizzy, her eyelids were heavy, and she could hardly stand, the Buddhist scriptures stopped.

"How did you get in?" A clear and cold voice rang in her ear.

Ruan Yuyi looked back suddenly, her cheeks were slightly red, tears were streaming down her face, she looked like she was about to cry.From her blurred vision, she could barely see the appearance of this young man in black.

This is a young man full of dignity.

He has a pair of slightly slanted peach blossom eyes, the bridge of his nose is straight as if shaved, but the profile of his face is relatively soft, creating a contradictory beauty.

This makes people think of his gentleness when he smiles like jade, but his expressionless eyes seem to be full of murderous aura. Although he is holding a folding fan in his hand, it is more like holding a long sword that drinks blood.

When she moved her feet, the jingle of bells between her wrists was like fairy music, as if she was carrying countless tiny hooks, it was breathtaking.Jiang Huaiyang, who heard the ringtone inexplicably, was also stunned after following the sound.

This bell sound came into his dreams every night, he was very familiar with it.

In front of the Buddha, in a place without desire, he uncontrollably brought the woman in front of him into a dream.

He always felt that she should climb up to his neck and act softly, her eyes were flushed even without makeup, her temple hair was slightly wet, sticking to her forehead, her whole body seemed to be a puddle of spring water.

This series of faint ringtones made Jiang Huaiyang feel his thoughts charmingly, and suddenly he felt a little dry and hot all over his body.

It's just that his expression remained unchanged, and his words were mixed with imperceptible restraint, "This is not a place for you to stay for a long time, so leave quickly."

Ruan Yuyi's ears heard the eviction order issued by the other party, and all of them became low buzzing sounds.

She didn't care about the low fever of her body, and wanted to bow her body to salute, but she didn't want her eyes to go dark and her whole body to go limp.

"Miss!"

She did not fall to the ground, but was caught by a pair of rough and strong hands, and fell into a strange embrace, her breath was full of the fragrance of saponins.
