Daughter of Hou's Mansion

In another courtyard of Daxiang Temple, Princess Duanmin went back to her own courtyard after coming out of the resting courtyard of the Wei family.

Seeing that her expression was calm, but her eyes seemed to contain a storm, Mother Jiang couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.She knew that the existence of the Wei family was like a thorn in the throat to the eldest princess, if she didn't get rid of it, she would never be happy in her heart.

"Princess, there are some things that cannot be rushed." Mother Jiang brought tea to the princess and persuaded in a low voice.

Princess Duanmin smiled coldly, and said through gritted teeth: "Mother, I hate you in my heart. I hate Wei Yanhuai, but I hate that woman even more. They died early, and I can only vent my hatred on For their children, I want them to have no peace in the ground."

Mother Jiang shook her head involuntarily. Princess Duanmin is 35 years old this year, and she is still alone, even with a nickname. All of this is thanks to Wei Yanhuai. How much she loved at the beginning, she now has How much I hate it, not to mention that the Wei family might have taken something they shouldn't have.

"Princess, you are now the most honorable princess in the Great Xia Dynasty. It is not easy to deal with those two Wei family members, but you must take care of your health. Anger hurts you too much." Mother Jiang is Princess Duanmin The nanny almost regards her as her own daughter, she knows that her princess is not dissolute by nature, she exiles herself because of too much love.

"I'm not angry, why should I be angry, those two people have already turned into two bones, even if they were in love, so what, it's only a short ten years, how can I be so free and easy, the whole Beijing except the emperor brother , no one is more noble than me, I live a good life, really good." Princess Duanmin had a smile on her face, and those words were not so much meant for Mother Jiang, but rather to persuade her Own.

Princess Duanmin quickly resumed her superior posture. At this moment, a maid walked in and said a few words in Princess Duanmin's ear. Princess Duanmin's complexion changed slightly, and she stood up abruptly. Walking outside, the most conspicuous person in the yard was the middle-aged man standing in the center, dressed in a black brocade robe and a gray cloak, with an extraordinary bearing, and there was a large crowd of people kneeling in the yard.

Princess Duanmin hurriedly went up to greet her and said: "Brother Huang, why did you come here suddenly? You really are, your current status is unusual, even if you are in a modest suit, you should bring more guards."

The person who came was Shangguanrui, the current sage, who first ascended the ceremony last year, and is also the elder brother of Princess Duanmin's mother and compatriot.

Shangguan Rui shook his head slightly, "Isn't it just saying that Master Yunxiang has returned from his travels, so he came to pay a visit."

Princess Duanmin said: "It's just a monk, why should the emperor condescend so much?"

Shangguan Rui knew that Duan Min was arrogant, so he just waved his hands and said, "Master Yun Xiang is an eminent monk, the imperial sister can't do this." Then he waved his hands to the kneeling person and said, "You all get up .”

"Brother Emperor, it's cold outside, come in quickly." Princess Duanmin invited Shangguan Rui in, made tea herself, and tried the tea with Eunuch Wang, who was beside Shangguan Rui, but Princess Duanmin gave him a look. stared back.

Princess Duanmin said: "Duanmin will give you a try." He poured another glass and took a sip.

Shangguan Rui took the tea, took a sip and said, "Okay, why don't I still believe you?"

Only then did Princess Duanmin smile. With so many sons and daughters of the late emperor, it can be said that her elder brother has gone through untold hardships all the way to the last tripod, because their mother and concubine passed away early, and the mother's family was born again. It's just the Guozijian Jijiu with no real power. At the beginning, the two brothers and sisters almost lived with their heads shrunk. It was precisely because she wanted to hide her strength and bide her time that she missed the person she loved the most. They climbed the bones of countless people, and they finally climbed up Taking this seat, the brother and sister depended on each other, and their relationship was naturally the closest. Even the eldest princess from the empress, Shangguan Rui's biological daughter was not as noble as Duan Min, an aunt.

"What happened to brother?" Princess Duanmin asked when she saw that Shangguan Rui's eyes were always smiling.

Shangguan Rui's eyes flashed, but he picked up the teacup and sipped it lightly, obviously not wanting to answer Princess Duanmin's question.

Princess Duanmin let go after being stunned for a moment. Although the relationship between the two brothers and sisters is very good, but then again, the person in front of me is the current emperor, the emperor, and she is far inferior to him when it comes to the organization and planning. And his thoughts are also extremely difficult to guess, since he can't guess, then let him go, anyway, as long as Shangguan Rui is the emperor, then her favor will not decline.

"Brother Huang, it's already noon, why don't we have a meal together, the vegetarian restaurant in Daxiang Temple is still very good." Princess Duanmin said again.

Shangguan Rui nodded, Princess Duanmin winked at Nanny Jiang, and after a while, several maidservants brought food boxes, Eunuch Wang came forward to test the poison with a silver needle, this time Princess Duanmin did not Lose your temper, after all, this set of procedures is also for the safety of the Holy Majesty.

After Shangguan Rui finished his meal, Princess Duanmin gave up the main room in the courtyard for Shangguan Rui to rest.

Shangguan Rui was leaning against the couch, Eunuch Wang walked over quickly and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, I have already found out that the girl is a member of the Wei family who lives in the Marquis of Weiyuan. Both of her parents have passed away, and the old lady of Weiyuanhou Mansion brought her by her side when she was in the countryside. Some time ago, the old lady of the Wei family brought her here when she returned to Beijing, and now she lives in Weiyuanhou Mansion. "

Shangguan Rui narrowed his eyes slightly, and gently turned the jade wrench on his left thumb with his right hand.

Eunuch Wang is the emperor's close attendant, he estimated his thoughts, and said cautiously: "Your majesty, or else the slave will pass a message to the old lady of the Weiyuan Marquis." But it is a side branch of the Wei family, and a It would be a great honor for a little orphan girl to enter the palace to serve the emperor.

Shangguan Rui didn't respond, but Eunuch Wang bowed his body, sweat dripped from his forehead, he was afraid that he would not be able to please someone, and instead it would be self-defeating.

It took a while for Shangguan Rui to softly answer the word "um", and Eunuch Wang's heart finally fell back into his stomach, and there was a slight smile on his face, although he didn't understand which Wei family the emperor had taken a fancy to. What about the girl, but he knew very well that the emperor looked at that back for more than a cup of tea, and he didn't even investigate the crime of disrespect.

"Since the old lady of the Wei family likes her so much, let her recognize her granddaughter." After a while, Shangguan Rui said again.

The emperor wanted to praise that girl from the Wei family. After all, the status of the remote branch of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion was not as good as that of the girl from the Wei family. Eunuch Wang was a little surprised but responded calmly.

*****************

After lunch, Qingluan gave up the bed to Wei Xiner to take a nap, and she went out of the yard with Wei Che.

Seeing that there was no one around, he whispered in Wei Che's ear and told him about the emperor's visit to Daxiang Temple in his incognito suit.Wei Che really showed surprise on his face, and he said slowly after a long while: "Since the emperor came to Xiangguo Temple quietly, he must not want others to know his whereabouts. We have the right to pretend that we don't know. , but if the emperor didn't blame her, then it's not a big deal, you can tell her not to worry about it."

"That's what I told her too. Cousin Xin'er is smart, otherwise she wouldn't have guessed the emperor's identity just based on those subtleties. Brother, there are so many nobles in the Daxiang Temple now, my heart I’m always a little uneasy, why don’t we go back early.” Master Yunxiang was a great monk who attained enlightenment in the Great Xia Dynasty, and his open altar lectures on Buddhism are naturally attractive, but so many people are more likely to be based on the spirit of the only one left this year. That opportunity to give orders, rather than fighting for such an opportunity with such a person, it is better to give it up voluntarily, so as not to offend people who should not be offended.

Wei Che relaxed his expression, and comforted him: "You don't have to be like this. Master Yunxiang sees all beings as equal, and he will only give orders to those who suit his eyes, regardless of wealth or power, even you Given that opportunity, no one else can say anything, right?" For Wei Che, Qingluan's future is the most important thing.

"Brother found out that the person who spread the rumors was a small steward of the White Mansion. I remember that day, besides the girl from the Liu family, there were also girls from the White Mansion? I think she is probably the one who spread rumors outside and has the reputation of being a bad sister. "Wei Che's eyes were slightly cold, and the lines of his side face were tense, "This woman is so young and has such a vicious heart. Is the White House trying to feud with our Wei family?"

Wei Qingluan was taken aback, she never expected that Bai Shuangshuang did this, based on her understanding of Bai Shuangshuang, this woman is the most capable of pretending and forbearance, when the Bai family was in trouble, she nostalgic for the old love to save the degraded borrower Bai Shuangshuang, since Bai Shuangshuang entered the mansion, she has always kept low and humble, never dared to overstep her words and deeds, even if she said that she would still treat her as a sister, she was still very careful, until the Wei family fell into trouble, She just revealed her scandalous affair with that bitch Lin Zixuan.

Combining the cognition of the two lifetimes, Wei Qingluan feels that Bai Shuangshuang is the typical kind of person who flatters you when you are strong and tramples on you when you are weak.Now that my elder brother has just received a reward from the emperor, and also received a job from Habayashi Wei, according to Bai Shuangshuang's temperament, he shouldn't do such a thing at this time, right?

But the results of my brother's investigation shouldn't be wrong. Could it be that Bai Shuangshuang really wants to tear herself apart with her?

Qingluan had some doubts in her heart, but quickly put them to the back of her mind. Originally, she thought that Bai Shuangshuang would also die in her last life. This kind of person would make waves if there is no wind. In this way, if you meet her in the future, you don't have to respond in vain.

"Sister, don't worry, since the Bai family is so vicious, I won't be relentless, this brother Qiu will avenge you." Wei Che said bitterly.The Bai family is nothing more than a fourth-rank Jing Zhaoyi. This official position is extremely sensitive. How many people are staring at that position. It is not easy to make the Bai family suffer.

On the other hand, it is fair. "Brother, I know you love me, but I hope that the first thing you consider before you do anything is that you and the Marquis of Weiyuan, Luan'er don't want you to take risks because of Luan'er, you should know that you are fine, Luan'er will be fine." Qingluan did not directly reject Wei Che's claim of revenge, just as she thought when she opened her eyes again, she will not be weak again in this life, and she will not be bullied in vain. Che's trouble with the Bai family is exactly what she wants, but she wants Wei Che to be careful when doing things, and not let others catch the Wei family's handle and put herself in danger.

Looking at his younger sister's tranquil face, Wei Che felt all sorts of feelings welling up in his heart, and finally nodded his head in agreement, "Don't worry, brother will take care of himself."

The two brothers and sisters walked along the bluestone path behind the Daxiang Temple. The green pines on both sides were still covered with thick snow. It turned into water droplets and fell on the mud on both sides, and there was a fresh smell in the air, which made Qingluan feel much better.

A middle-aged monk wearing a gray monk's robe came to face him. He was short and fat, just like a Maitreya Buddha enshrined in a temple, but beside him was Fu Hongye, who was dressed in black, still wearing a silver mask on his face.

A flash of surprise flashed in Qingluan's eyes. You can meet acquaintances everywhere, but I don't know what the owner of Hongye Villa is doing in Yunxiang Temple. Could it be that Yunxiang Temple is also owned by Hongye Villa?This idea just flashed by, and was rejected by Qingluan. This Yunxiang Temple is a hundred-year-old temple. When the reputation of Master Yunxiang spread throughout the Great Xia Dynasty, there was not even a shadow of this Hongye Mountain Villa. How could there be such a thing? possibility.

Of course, Wei Che also noticed the two people walking towards them. Regardless of the monk, the man in black beside him can be described as unfathomable. , can also feel the compelling momentum.

Wei Che took a slight step forward, blocking Qingluan's body, with a gloomy expression on his face. The man's eyes were staring at his sister, which made Wei Che very unhappy. The two of them competed in the air, and they could almost feel the sparks bursting out of the air.

Qingluan's heart tightened, she didn't want her brother to have an affair with Fu Hongye, and was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, but she heard a sound of "Amitabha" as steady as a bell, but it was the fat monk walking forward with a smile on her face After taking two steps, he recited a Buddhist gatha.

I don't know if it was because the fat monk's smile was too bright, and the tense atmosphere suddenly eased a lot.

Qingluan tugged at Wei Che's shirt, signaling him not to behave like this. 13acv.

"Amitabha, the two benefactors are well." The fat monk's brows and eyes were curved, but he looked over Wei Che to Wei Qingluan. A light flashed in his kind eyes, but the smile on his face became stronger.

Qingluan's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.I always felt that the kind-hearted monk in front of me looked like a cunning fox, and the light in her eyes made her feel like she was being seen through.

Stretching out his hands to avoid the smiling face, Wei Che restrained his murderous air, clasped his hands together, saluted the fat monk, and said, "Master is well."

"Miss Wei, please stay safe." Fu Hongye stared at Wei Qingluan with deep eyes, with a trace of coldness in his voice.

Wei Che didn't think that his sister would know such a strange man, so he frowned slightly. Qingluan glared at Fu Hongye angrily, can't he talk properly?

Seeing Wei Qingluan's protection of Wei Che, Fu Hongye couldn't help but feel annoyed. This woman really has no conscience.

Seeing that the atmosphere had turned cold again, the fat monk smoothed things over: "So the three of you are old acquaintances. The winter snow has just melted, and the road is also strangely cold. Not far ahead is the residence of the poor monk. Why don't you drive a few steps away?" , and then drink a cup of hot tea to warm up your body."

The masked man in front of him was too dangerous, and he didn't have any kindness towards his sister. Wei Che didn't want to have too much contact with him. He opened his mouth to refuse, but saw Fu Hongye cast a provocative look over him. Che's impulsiveness had worn off as early as in the northwest, but for some reason, being so aroused by Fu Hongye, he blurted out impulsive words: "Master, you are welcome, please lead the way."

Qingluan originally wanted her brother to get acquainted with Fu Hongye, so she thanked the fat monk for providing such an opportunity, how did she know that the two men had already exchanged eye contact for several rounds.

The fat monk laughed and led the way first, followed closely by Wei Che and Qingluan brothers and sisters, and Fu Hongye walked last.

I didn't meet anyone along the way, and Qingluan was curious about the identity of the fat monk. The fat monk was really weird. He was a vegetarian, but he could maintain such a round body shape. And short, if you put on white clothes, you might think it is a snowball rolling on the ground from a distance.

There is also the monk's appearance, which is simple, honest and kind, but it also gives people a sense of insight and sophistication. Two completely contradictory temperaments exist at the same time in the fat monk.

The fat monk brought the three of them to a quiet courtyard, "Please sit down, three, while the poor monk prepares tea."

Fu Hongye snorted and said, "The top grade Dahongpao I tasted last time is really good."

The smile on the fat monk's face stagnated slightly, and then he showed a heartbroken expression and said: "I finally got three taels, and I was followed by you kid."

Fu Hongye said: "These are things outside the body, whether they are born or not, they will not be taken away after death, Master Yun Xiang, as an eminent monk, must not even be able to see through this point."

Now it was the turn of Wei Che and Qingluan to show surprise. Neither of them thought that this weird fat monk was actually the famous Master Yun Xiang, who was rumored to be able to read divination and know the future. Master Xiang actually has such an image, which is too much a test of one's mind.

Qingluan watched Fu Hongye haggle with Master Yunxiang for the best Dahongpao. In the end, Master Yunxiang was defeated and walked out with a face full of regret, apparently being distressed by Fu Hongye knocking on a cup of tea.And Qingluan also realized Fu Hongye's extraordinaryness again, took a deep breath and introduced to her brother: "Brother, this is Fu Hongye, the owner of Hongye Villa."
