After rebirth, I became the white moonlight of Hunjun

Chapter 33 Strange Fragrance
  "This is what the young lady wants to give to the third prince. If you don't return it, I will go to the third prince to file a complaint, saying that you bullied our young lady!"

Lin Xiaolian said angrily.

Qiao Xiu on the side remained silent, her eyes carefully observing Zhuang Xiao's every move.

"Then you ask the Third Prince to come to me to get... Hey, what are you doing!"

Before he finished speaking, Qiao Xiu rushed forward and tapped Zhuang Xiao's acupuncture points.

Zhuang Xiao felt his body go numb, and his hands involuntarily lost their strength, and the chainmail fell to the ground with a clang.

Before Zhuang Xiao could calm down, Qiao Xiu stepped forward to pick up the chain mail, folded it carefully, as if nothing had happened, and turned to Lin, who had not yet recovered. Zhiyu said:
  "Miss, you can go back."

Everyone around Zhou Zijin is a master, and they are more than enough to deal with Zhuang Xiao.

"You, you don't have martial ethics, you carry out sneak attacks!"

Zhuang Xiao had not yet recovered his strength, but when he heard Qiao Xiu say this, he became anxious.

Lin Zhiyu completely ignored his shouting, raised a smile at the corner of her mouth, bowed to Zhuang Xiao leisurely, and said:
  "I am in a hurry and I have offended many people. I hope Zhuang Shaosi will not take it personally. If you need any help in the future, just come to Weiyang Palace to find me."

After saying that, the few people left without looking back, no matter what Zhuang Xiao yelled.

On the way back, Lin Xiaolian praised Qiaoxiu repeatedly:

"That acupuncture action just now was so clean! Huh, what Zhuang Shaosi, I think he is just a gangster!"

Qiao Xiu held the chain mail and said nothing, but her ears quietly turned red.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day to go out of the palace to pray for blessings. That morning, the Clothing Bureau sent Lin Zhiyu clothes for praying.

"Mommy, why do these clothes smell so good?"

As soon as Lin Xiaolian shook off the clothes, she smelled a strong fragrance.

The nun who delivered the clothes replied: "The new clothes have a peculiar smell. I put them on the stove and scented them all night last night. Although the smell was covered, the fragrance is inevitably a bit pungent."

Lin Xiaolian did not doubt that he was there. After seeing her off, she prepared to help Lin Zhiyu put on this dress.

"I don't know what's going on. The chain mail production process is obviously much more complicated than this dress, but why did this dress arrive one day late?"

Lin Xiaolian frowned and kept complaining. If the clothes had been delivered earlier, there might be a way to dissipate the smell.

Lin Zhiyu never liked overly strong fragrances, and it was uncomfortable to smell this smell.

The weather is hot and Chengen Temple is on a mountain, so it is extremely easy to attract mosquitoes.

"Xiao Lian, Qiao Xiu, you two go prepare a basin of hot salt water and put it on the fire to boil. Then put the clothes on top of the rising steam to get rid of the smell."

There was no such thing as activated charcoal in ancient times. It was still half an hour before departure. A little fumigation should reduce the smell.

"Yes."

Lin Zhiyu cut the mosquito repellent in the house and put it into the sachet that she carried with her.

"Girl, the carriage leaving the palace is already waiting at the door."

This was already the second time Eunuch Zhang came to urge her. Lin Zhiyu took the clothes. Although the smell was still there, it was much weaker than before.

"Father-in-law, wait a moment, I'll go right away."

Lin Zhiyu put on the clothes and asked Lin Xiaolian to prepare an extra piece of clothes for daily wear.

Praying for blessings will not last long, just be patient and it will be fine.

Lin Zhiyu covered her nose with a handkerchief and got into the carriage under the guidance of Eunuch Zhang.

Chengen Temple was not too far from the palace. The carriage drove slowly for about two hours before reaching its destination.

"Miss, miss? Don't sleep. We are already at the gate of Chengen Temple. Don't miss the time."

Lin Xiaolian pushed Lin Zhiyu, and then the latter opened his sleepy eyes.

Today was a special day. Lin Zhiyu was called out just after the Yin hour. When he got out of the car, he was still very tired, so he leaned against the side of the carriage and took a nap as if he were boneless along the way. Lin Zhiyu weakly jumped out of the carriage and was about to follow the team forward when Lin Zhiyu suddenly felt something crawling on her instep.

I lowered my head and lifted up my skirt and saw that it was a centipede that was half a foot long!
  Goosebumps crawled all over his back, and Lin Zhiyu suddenly lost all sleep and screamed.

In front of her was Jia Fei Zhuang Younan's carriage. When she heard the movement, she was startled by Lin Zhiyu's voice. She turned around subconsciously and happened to meet Lin Zhiyu face to face.

Lin Xiaolian was also extremely afraid of this bug, but seeing Lin Zhiyu so scared, she still had the courage to say: "Don't be afraid, young lady, I will drive it away right now."

Qiaoxiu, however, had a calm face. She squatted down and flicked the centipede to the ground. She crushed it lightly with her shoes, clapped her hands and said, "The temple has incense burning all year round, which can help drive away mosquitoes." , Miss, it’s better to go in quickly.”

Lin Zhiyu broke out in a cold sweat, and then his brain came back to his senses.

"I've met Empress Jia Fei."

Seeing Zhuang Younan looking at him, Lin Zhiyu bowed politely, but felt weak in his heart.

After all, he had just bullied Jia Fei's younger brother Zhuang Xiao the day before yesterday, and he had not met her a few times in his previous life, so he really couldn't grasp her character.

Apparently Zhuang Younan also smelled the smell on Lin Zhiyu's clothes. He turned his back and covered it with a handkerchief, and coughed violently several times.

"Your Majesty is not in good health and cannot smell such a strong smell. Don't mind it, big girl."

The accompanying maid Bao'er explained to Lin Zhiyu while patting Zhuang Younan on the back.

"I have long heard that the queen's biological sister has come to the palace to accompany her, but I have been recuperating in Lanxin Pavilion and have no chance to meet her. I didn't expect to meet her here today."

Zhuang Younan regained his composure and smiled apologetically at Lin Zhiyu.

"Then the queen is feeling better today?"

Zhuang Younan's way of speaking seemed formal, and Lin Zhiyu didn't know how to continue, so he had to talk about random topics.

"It's not good either."

Zhuang Younan coughed twice again, "It's just that my father and brother all died in the battlefield. Unfortunately, I am a girl and cannot cut off the enemy's head with one sword. I can only pray for the soldiers in front."

Lin Zhiyu knew that the smell on her body was too pungent, and she looked a little embarrassed: "Empress Jia Fei is sincere, and the gods and Buddhas will definitely hear her prayers."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Zhiyu gave a shallow salute, turned around and followed the other team.

"Empress, don't you ask about Mr. Zhuang?"

Bao'er looked at Lin Zhiyu's back and asked softly.

"My younger brother, I can't do anything about him, but it's Miss Lin who makes this boy feel defeated for the first time."

Zhuang Younan sighed and looked at Lin Zhiyu with a somewhat meaningful look, "Did the queen order her clothes to be made?"

Bao'er nodded and said, "According to convention, the queen handles these matters."

Zhuang Younan said nothing, went to the entrance of the temple to receive some incense, and stood still.

"The God of heaven and earth, the emperor respectfully worships him, and I sincerely pray to you for the sake of the people of the world. All things in heaven and earth are more precious than Master, and they are also my son's great treasures. My emperor sincerely prays to Master, and prays for the prosperity of the country and the people. Kang Xingfu."

After the abbot finished reciting the prayers, a young novice monk beat the big drum nearby. With the sound of the drum, the sound of elegant music gradually began, which was extremely solemn.

Zhou Tingchen faced the Buddha statue, respectfully raised the incense in his hand above his head, and worshiped three times devoutly.

Eunuch Zhang stretched out his voice and shouted loudly to the people in the audience: "Bow down -"

The concubines stood in one row, the ministers in the court stood in another row, and behind them were the generals and commanders. Each of them held three incense sticks in their hands. They followed Zhou Tingchen's movements and bowed three times together. The smoke was filled and it was extremely spectacular.

Lin Zhiyu stood behind Xu Jiuer and was about to bow when she heard someone in the crowd scream:
  "Snake, there is a snake!"

Before the words could even be finished, all the concubines were in chaos.

Lin Zhiyu looked along where everyone pointed, and when he saw it clearly, his face suddenly turned pale.

In the pile of grass next to her, there was a dark brown five-step snake lying. Its body was as thick as the arms of two adult men and at least two meters long.
