The concubine is so charming

Chapter 91
Su Yao recuperated in Lan Cui Xuan, except for Mu Zhaoyu, who came to visit, but she stopped them with the excuse of feeling unwell.

The Empress Dowager really deserves to be the Empress Dowager. In just a few days, the harem who deserved to be beaten and punished was punished, and took the opportunity to clear out a group of palace people. For a while, the entire harem was extremely quiet, and the concubines were even jealous. I dare not say it.

The second day of April, the Queen Mother's birthday.

The emperor made a decree to do it, and Su Yao went to Ci'an Palace to offer Buddhist scriptures, expressing his intention to go to Wanhua Temple to help the Queen Mother kneel and pray for blessings.

The Empress Dowager looked at the pale Su Yao in front of her eyes, and a look of disgust flashed in her eyes: she thought that the Rong Palace had completely abandoned Mu Ninghua, but she never thought that the perfect plan she had arranged was resolved invisibly.

This time, we can take precautions in advance, and there will be no people from the Rong Palace to intervene. It seems that we should be more cautious in the future, so as not to fall into any trap.

"Ninghua, your body is not fully recovered yet, you can rest at ease in the palace, you don't have to go to Wanhua Temple."

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, you have taken care of me a lot before, and you helped me make the decision a few days ago, and punished those slaves. Ninghua is very grateful in her heart. Going to Wanhua Temple to help you kneel and pray for blessings is something I have long thought about. , the Buddhist scriptures have already been copied early, please do not dislike the Queen Mother."

The Empress Dowager smiled, and her eyes looked extraordinarily kind: "Your filial piety is so rare, why would the Ai family despise you, I'm just worried that you will suffer."

"It is my honor to be able to pray for the Empress Dowager."

"Okay, that's all for Aijia, you are not in good health yet, so be careful in everything."

"Yes."

When Su Yao left, the Empress Dowager's expression suddenly became lighter: "Where is Zhen Zhen, why haven't you seen her come to pay respects to Ai's family these days?"

Nanny Qi's heart tightened on the side, and she quickly smiled and said: "Princess Mingzhu must be helping the Queen Mother prepare gifts in secret, so she has no time to enter the palace. If you miss the princess, this servant will send someone to invite the princess." come over."

"No need, the child is probably still angry." The queen mother has lived in the palace for so many years, and she knows Mu Zhenzhen's little thoughts very well.

Nanny Qi's tone became more and more cautious: "Princess Mingzhu respects and admires you very much. Even if you feel a little uneasy for a while, it's just a small awkwardness, and it will be fine in two days."

"You don't have to help her to say good things, Zhenzhen's child is really spoiled by Ai's family. Right now, it's just Mu Ninghua, so she seems to have encountered a natural moat that she can't break through. In the future, I will come to a few Shen Ninghua, What about Zhang Ninghua, so she can't make it through?"

"The queen mother must not get angry. Princess Mingzhu is young, so she just needs to teach her more in the future."

"That Mu Ninghua, let her stay for a few more days, just to temper Zhenzhen's temperament." The queen mother took a sip from the bird's nest, "I heard that since Mu Ninghua fell ill, Gu Yuanyou The last time I sent a letter to say hello, but I didn’t receive any response, so I think I’m so worried right now.”

"Yes, I heard that I am very anxious."

The queen mother sneered: "Didn't this Mu Ninghua go to Wanhua Temple to kneel down and pray for blessings for Ai's family? It's just time to reveal the news to him, let him meet someone, and relieve the pain of lovesickness."

"Yes, servant girl will do it now."

Early in the morning, Su Yao left the palace in a carriage and walked in the direction of Wanhua Temple. After walking for nearly an hour, he came to the foot of Wanhua Mountain.

Sitting next to Su Yao, Mu Qingchen's eyes sparkled: "Sister, everyone said that Wanhua Temple is the most popular Buddhist temple in Kyoto. There is a pagoda inside that enshrines the relics of eminent monks of all ages. Some people say that Master Huiran's Dharma is profound. , you can see through people's past and present lives, do you think this is true?"

"I don't know if it's serious or not, but I've heard a saying that no matter how high the Dharma is, you're afraid of kitchen knives!"

As soon as these words fell, the carriage stopped, followed by a muffled laughter.

Su Yao paused, and took Mu Qingchen out of the carriage.

Outside the carriage, two monks, one big and one small, were standing on one side, and the one who was smiling sullenly was the younger one.

He looked about the same age as Mu Qingchen, with red lips and white teeth, and clear eyes. At this moment, he covered his mouth with his hands, full of innocence.

Su Yao clasped his hands together and bowed to the two monks: "Just now Ninghua's words are meaningless, please don't mind the two young masters."

"The benefactor is too worried, please go up the mountain with the poor monk."

"Thank you for leading the way."

The young monk led the way ahead, his steps were steady, and every step seemed to be fixed in size.

The little monk was much more lively. Seeing that Mu Qingchen was about the same age as him, he would turn his head and wink at him from time to time.

Mu Qingchen took care of Su Yao carefully. There is still a long distance from the foot of the mountain to the Wanhua Temple on the top of the mountain. My sister has not fully recovered yet, and she will definitely be exhausted after walking all the way up.

The little monk was two steps behind and stood next to Mu Qingchen: "How old are you, is it fun to go down the mountain?"

The young monk turned his head quickly: "Brother Yunqing, don't be rude."

"Junior brother Mingyuan, just lead the way, and don't worry about senior brother's affairs." The little monk Yunqing put his hands behind his back, looking old-fashioned, but he didn't know that his childish, powdery appearance was extraordinarily painful, and said After finishing, he bowed slightly to Su Yao and Mu Qingchen to salute, "The younger brother is ignorant, making the two benefactors laugh."

Su Yao smiled brightly: "It's nothing."

Mu Qingchen was rather curious about how this kid could be a senior brother, and after chatting with him for a few words, the little monk Yunqing started chatting on his own.

Mu Qingchen's face was a little stiff, as if she didn't understand why this little monk had so many words.

Su Yao retracted his gaze with a smile, and raised his eyes to look forward. Wanhua Temple has a history of several hundred years. It is also forbidden to cut down trees and hunt indiscriminately around Wanhua Mountain. Therefore, the surrounding forest is dense and dense, and small animals appear from time to time.

When he was almost halfway up the mountain, there was a creaking sound suddenly. Su Yao looked up and saw a little gray squirrel running down.

The squirrel grabbed a pine nut with its two small front paws, and when it came to Su Yao's feet, it straightened up and squeaked at her twice.

Su Yao was slightly taken aback, and tentatively squatted down: "Are you going to give me the pine nuts?"

The little squirrel seemed to understand it, and raised its paw in Su Yao's direction.

Su Yao stretched out her hand, and the little squirrel put the pine nuts in her hand, and then quickly ran towards the small pavilion on a platform halfway up the mountain.

A slender figure appeared on the edge of the small pavilion, with an elegant body and a smiling face, with the little squirrel on his shoulder. After seeing Su Yao, he walked down slowly: "Ninghua, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Gu Yuanyou!
Su Yao straightened up and bowed his knees to salute: "I've met Mr. Gu."

Gu Yuanyou looked at Su Yao, with a faint heartache on her face: For blessing, she wore a plain dress with a moon-white butterfly pattern, her hair was only fixed with jade hairpins, her eyebrows were lightly swept without much makeup, the whole People are dull to the extreme.

I haven't seen her for a long time, but she actually lost a lot of weight.
