The pet career of Shaoqing of Dali Temple

Chapter 365 Mother's Greeting Ceremony, Little Bug Says Hello

The emperor personally went to Huayan Temple to offer incense.

Whether this matter is big or small, especially this time the emperor ordered many veterans to accompany him.

The prince stayed in the palace to act as an agent of government affairs, and the queen did not follow.

Ru Xiaonan was sitting in the carriage, sticking her head out from time to time to look at the scenery on the side of the road.

It was the hot summer time, and the cicadas were singing everywhere in the trees, and the noise couldn't stop for a moment.

Huayan Temple was originally a small temple, but because it is very close to the capital, palace people from all dynasties would come here to offer incense, and the incense is quite strong.

The abbot of the temple personally came out to pick him up, and the group got out of the carriage in a mighty manner. It would take less than half an hour just to walk up the mountain.

Ru Xiaonan frequently turned her head to look at Old Hou Ye.

Because the emperor brought all veterans this time, Lord Qinghou also went with him.

On the way up the mountain, Old Hou Ye was panting.

Qing Moyan never looked back, and many veterans around pointed at Qing Moyan's back.

Ru Xiaonan secretly gritted her teeth.

These old guys must be hating Qing Moyan behind his back again, the word "filial piety" is enough to crush a person to death in this world.

After finally reaching the top of the mountain, the monks in the temple took them to the wing room to rest.

Ru Xiaonan noticed that Qing Moyan was not arranged with those veterans, but took her to rest alone in the wing room on the south side of the temple.

Seeing her looking around, Qing Moyan said in a low voice, "This is arranged by the emperor, for the convenience of going in and out."

"Your mother's jade bracelet... Has the emperor returned it to you?" Ru Xiaonan asked.

Qing Moyan shook her head lightly, "I don't think he will return it to me."

"Just let him keep it as a souvenir." Ru Xiaonan comforted him.

Qing Moyan smiled faintly, "That's right, let him keep it, you are enough for me."

Ru Xiaonan didn't expect him to say such a sentence, her face turned red.

Qing Moyan laughed lowly, took her hand and didn't enter the room, but went in another direction.

"Where are we going?" Ru Xiaonan asked.

"You'll know when you go."

Qing Moyan took her to a ruin in Xiangyang on the southern slope of the temple.

From afar, Ru Xiaonan saw a large bush of flowers, luxuriantly clustered in one place, mixed with red, white and purple.

Ru Xiaonan took a closer look, only to find that in addition to the normal petals, the tails of these flowers also have thin "tails", which look like small claws, and look a bit like small octopuses from the side.

"What kind of flower is this?" Ru Xiaonan reached out and fiddled with a purple flower.

The corner of Qing Moyan's mouth curled up, "Do you think it looks like your little paw?"

Ru Xiaonan was stunned.

Not to mention, this flower really looks like a cat's claw.

"This is a cat's claw flower, and it is also called columbine." Qing Moyan said lightly, "It will bloom at this time of year."

Ru Xiaonan found it more and more interesting the more she looked at it, she squatted among the flowers and looked at this one and then that one.

Qing Moyan stood aside and looked at her very patiently, "Do you like it?"

nod nod.

Qing Moyan's smiling eyes crooked.

If she turned into a sweet fox at this time, she would definitely jump into the flowers, roll around, have fun, and make a fuss.

"Pick some back if you like, the emperor will stay here for a few more days, and you can keep them in a water bottle."

"No need." To his surprise, the little thing refused.

"They look good when they grow here, and they will die if you take them back." She squatted there, curling her fingers into cat's claws, and gestured "meowing" to the flowers.

Qing Moyan didn't say anything more, she just stood there with her hands behind her back and silently accompanied her.

It wasn't until Ru Xiaonan had had enough fun that she noticed that the flowers were growing on top of the ruins.

"Why is there such an open space in the temple?" Ru Xiaonan asked casually.

"When the Huayan Temple was on fire, Concubine Ying disappeared here." Qing Moyan said quietly.

Ru Xiaonan was stunned.

Standing up slowly, he looked around.

There was such a large area of ​​flowers that covered the original scorched ruins.

"That's the former main hall... Behind this is the cliff, here is the side hall..." Qing Moyan led her and showed her the layout of the former temple.

"This is the side hall where Concubine Ying lived on the day of the fire." Qing Moyan looked down at the ground under her feet.

Even if he knew who he was and who his mother was, he still didn't understand why his mother wanted to run away and escaped from the emperor at all costs.

The breeze blew, and the cat's claw flowers all over the ground swayed, as if waving towards them.

"After the fire, this is the only place where this kind of flower grows." Qing Moyan put her arms around her shoulders, making her stand side by side with her, "Tell me, is this God's will?"

He whispered in her ear, "This should be a gift from your mother for meeting you."

Why is it such a coincidence that cat's claw flowers only grow here, and she was transformed by a sweet beaver.

A gust of wind blew towards me.

"Ah!" Ru Xiaonan sneezed loudly.

"Go back." Although it was summer, the wind on the top of the mountain was still quite strong, Qing Moyan grabbed her shoulders and wanted to leave.

"Huh, what does it smell like?" Ru Xiaonan sniffled.

Qing Moyan stopped in her tracks, he didn't smell anything.

"I really smell it, a strange smell, not the fragrance of flowers." Ru Xiaonan looked around with her head down.

Qing Moyan grabbed her wrist tightly.

"Did you smell it?" Ru Xiaonan asked him.

Qing Moyan shook her head.

"That smell is like... from the Gu King on your body..." Ru Xiaonan frowned as she recalled.

"The Gu king also has a taste?" Qing Moyan was very surprised.

"Of course, each of you has its own scent, and of course the Gu King has it too, and this smell is very similar to it." Ru Xiaonan was talking, and suddenly pointed to a place, "Look, there is a dog there. insect."

Qing Moyan looked in the direction of her finger, and saw a strange-looking bug crawling out from under a large cat's claw flower, it looked a bit like a scorpion, but it didn't have the long tail of a scorpion.

Ru Xiaonan wanted to get closer but was pulled back by Qing Moyan.

"Be careful," he reminded.

The worm seemed to have heard their voices, instead of flinching, it leaned out and raised its long pincer-like legs towards them.

"It's greeting us." Ru Xiaonan laughed, and at the same time made a cat's claw with one hand, as if waving to the other party.

Qing Moyan didn't believe that the worm would wave to them, but then the worm actually did something that surprised him.

It climbed up in front of them, turned around, and continued to climb, stopping now and then to wave its long, pincer-like feet at them.

"Are you trying to say that it is beckoning us to follow it?" Qing Moyan joked.

Ru Xiaonan nodded seriously, "That's right."
