The second marriage of the emperor's favorite princess

453 Father, You Are So Heartless

Quanshui Temple, as the name suggests, is located on the edge of the spring.In the middle of the mountain, there is a clear spring gushing out from the broken arm, flowing down the mountain with the mountain body, and the Quanshui Temple is on the edge of the cliff.From the bottom of the mountain to the temple, you have to climb a full 99 steps.Therefore, this temple was originally just a small temple with a few monks and no incense.

But hundreds of years ago, the first king of Snow Country was wounded in a war, and fled here to escape the pursuit of the enemy.Under the care of the monks in the temple, one night, he stood by the mountain wall and looked at the spring water. Suddenly, the water splashed in the air and formed a fairy shape, guiding him out.Later, he really started to grow according to the guidelines and founded the Snow Country.

Quanshui Temple became famous in one fell swoop. Thanks to the gifts of fairies, the emperors of the snow country would rebuild the temples, so that the grand posture of contiguous temples and overlapping temples and courtyards was formed. All the legendary fairies were enshrined, and they were favored by the female relatives. Come Most of the people praying here are women.

But no matter how gorgeous the temple is, the monks always put simplicity first.The six roots are clean, and the clothing and food are rough.After Bai Lian brought Duanmu Shiyao here, the host personally led them to the innermost courtyard.It was autumn, and the sky was getting colder and colder, and the room they stayed in had only a kang, a set of tables and chairs, an oil lamp, and not even a stove for heating.

Duanmu Shiyao glanced at it, then angrily said to the host: "Why do people live here!"

The host clasped his hands together and said, "Little honored guest, all the monks in the temple live like this."

"But we are not monks, we are the queen and princess of Snow Country!"

"Shiyao!" Bai Li'an scolded her: "Have you forgotten that we are here to be punished? Besides, this is a monastery, how can you make a fuss? Why don't you apologize to the host?"

When Duanmu Shiyao saw that her mother was angry, she didn't speak, but pouted and looked away.The host hurriedly said: "The conditions are difficult, and the young guests will inevitably lose their temper if they are not used to it. Then please invite the two distinguished guests, the old monk will ask the apprentice to prepare a vegetarian meal for you."

"I'm here to host you."

Gao Chi took two guards to live in another room, and Bai Lian brought Duanmu Shiyao and Qing Yu into the room.

Qingyu packed her things, and Bai Lian took out two clay figurines from the luggage, a tiger and a cat, looking at these two clay figurines, she was in a daze.Duanmu Canglan, are you missing us too?

Duanmu Shiyao stood in the middle of the room, frowning slightly: "Although I was punished, this place is too bitter. Even Master Xiye's place was a hundred times better than this."

Bai Li'an put down the clay figurine, turned around and said, "Your father didn't kill you, it's already a great favor, you still have the nerve to pick and choose? Qingxiu, do you think it's a trip? Complain again, I'm going to lose my temper ah."

Duanmu Shiyao squeezed out a smile: "Mother, don't be angry, I just don't say anything. In the place of temples, how can mother be angry casually?"

This is a slippery child, especially difficult to teach.Bai Lian watched her walk to the kang, touched it with disgust, and then carefully sat on it, shaking his head involuntarily.

They changed into plain dresses and wore simple buns.Duanmu Shiyao gave her a braid.

In the evening, the abbot brought the monks to deliver the fasting meal.A stack of vegetables, a few bowls of rice.After placing it on the table, the host said: "According to His Majesty, the two honored guests should live and eat according to the rules of the temple, without exception."

Bai Lian clasped his hands together and said, "Yes, I have Master Lao's advice."

The host and the monks never looked at the three women in front of them. Men and women are different, and these monks can't get close to women at will, let alone such noble and beautiful women, so the monks are even more careful.

"Every morning class starts at Yin hour and ends at half an hour. Then disciples carry water and firewood, clean the yard, boil water and cook. Lunch class starts at noon, followed by lunch, exercises, laundry, and yard cleaning. Evening class starts from the beginning. , then supper and bed."

"Yes, disciple remembered."

"Guests please have a meal, I will not bother you."

After the host left, Bai Li'an and Qing Yu sat around the table, and then Bai Li'an looked at Duanmu Shiyao: "What are you still doing in a daze? Come over to eat."

Duanmu Shiyao looked at the food on the table, frowned, and came over reluctantly.

Picked up a chopstick of vegetables, sniffed it, put it in his mouth, licked it, and quickly put it down in disgust: "How can this kind of food be eaten? Isn't this feeding rabbits? That old monk, it seems that he is deliberately making things difficult for us."

Bai Lian said without changing his face: "If you don't want to eat, go away, don't hinder us from eating."

After finishing speaking, he ate with the food, and Qing Yu also started to eat.Duanmu Shiyao pouted to watch them eat, she was really hungry.No way, she took a few mouthfuls of plain rice, looking like she couldn't swallow it.

Tukang, not to mention compared with the beds in the palace, even ordinary people's beds are incomparable.Bai Lian slept on it, but he really couldn't sleep. It felt so hard that the muscles in his back were aching.Duanmu Shiyao beside her was even more tossing and turning.I was hungry and tired, and my back was still uncomfortable. After a while, I began to cry in a low voice.

Bai Lian turned around and asked softly, "Why are you crying?"

"Father is so cruel, let us suffer like this."

"You still blame your father? It's you who did such an outrageous thing, and it's only natural to be punished."

"I also want to be together for my father, queen and queen. Those women are really hateful."

"Duanmu Shiyao, you can't really realize your fault, so you have to stay here forever."

"But I know I'm wrong, I know when Father is angry. I know I'm wrong, can I just leave?"

"No, you know you're wrong, it's just because Father is angry. Unless you understand where you are wrong, you won't be able to leave. Don't think about it, just settle down and stay here for a while."

"But it's very uncomfortable."

"Come, come to mother's arms."

Duanmu Shiyao moved her body and got into her mother's arms.Pillow on mother's arm, hugging mother's soft body.

"mother……"

Bai Lian hugged her and lowered his eyes slightly.If she didn't come, what would Shi Yao be like here?I'm afraid I won't be able to get out for the rest of my life.

The thought of such a possibility made her feel distressed.The child couldn't be used to it, but because of the child's rough childhood, she couldn't be cruel to her.Even though he pretended to be harsh on the surface, his heart was always bleeding.

She didn't sleep much all night, she had to get up before dawn in the morning, Duanmu Shiyao was in a daze, and was dragged by Bai Lian before she came to the front hall.At the end, there were two round cushions, and the two of them knelt and sat on them, listening to the host recite scriptures.

Bai Lian put his hands together, and while listening, he looked at his daughter beside him from time to time.How could Duanmu Shiyao listen to her?Drooping his head, he almost fell asleep on the mat in the end.
