Moonlight Allure

Chapter 18
Baohua Temple deserves to be the largest temple in Tianqi, crowded with pilgrims and incense, and they are all ladies and wives from wealthy families.They are wearing silk and satin, and they are dressed in fancy dresses.But as soon as they entered the main hall, they knelt down devoutly in front of the Buddha, clasped their hands together, and muttered something.

Luo Qingyan was carried all the way up by Xiao Ziqiu, nestled in his arms, almost fell asleep.It was only when she heard the sound of the monk ringing the bell in the monastery that she woke up suddenly.

Then she realized that she was so quietly staying in the arms of a man she had only met a few times, she was a little dazed for a moment.Looking at Xiao Ziqiu's gentle and elegant face like a banished fairy, there is a layer of white mist in his phoenix eyes.

"Qingyan, what's wrong with you?" The gentle call came from Xiao Ziqiu.

The mist in the phoenix eyes dissipated in an instant, and the corners of the mouth under the veil curved slightly.Through his shoulder, looking at the people who followed behind, he said: "My mother and the others are coming up, you can put me down." While she was speaking, Huansha had already walked over and put the wheelchair on the ground .

"Miss," she called out, her eyes glimpsed the ambiguous posture of the two, and there was a knowing gleam in her eyes.

"Let me down!" Feng Mou looked at Xiao Ziqiu with a smile

Xiao Ziqiu smiled gently, and then gently put her on the wheelchair.As soon as that soft body left his embrace, I couldn't help but feel a sense of emptiness in my heart, and my usually gentle eyes seemed to dim a lot.

"Yan'er" Bai Yanruo walked over, with worry and search in his eyes.

Feng Mou smiled, "Mother, let's go in. I don't know if Abbot Wuchen's three hexagrams are full today, otherwise, he will have to stay in this temple for one night, so he will get up early tomorrow."

Bai Yanruo smiled, looked at the sky, and sighed slightly in her beautiful eyes: "There are a lot of people who come to ask Abbot Wuchen's hexagram every day. Looking at the current weather, I'm afraid we won't have the chance to meet the master today." She said regretfully

"It doesn't matter." Luo Qingyan didn't care too much, and said, "This Baohua Temple is so big, it must not be too difficult for us to bother ten thousand people here."

Xiao Ziqiu walked over with a smile: "Qingyan is right, if Madam is not in a hurry, it's okay to stay here for one night at Baohua Temple."

Bai Yanruo nodded: "Let's go."

"Mother" Luo Qingyan called her, with gentle eyebrows and eyes: "Anyway, I won't see Abbot Wuchen today, so I won't go in. The incense smell is grand inside, there are too many people, it's too noisy, it makes me dizzy. She frowned, as if feeling a little uncomfortable, and said apologetically, "Why don't you let Luyi accompany you in, and let Huansha push me to the backyard for a walk to breathe some fresh air. That way, you'll feel better."

Bai Yanruo looked at the main hall, the monks and faithful men and women who were chanting scriptures and praying in the incense mist.Then she turned around and said gently: "Okay, I'm stuck, you have to be careful yourself" she told carefully, and then turned her head to look at Huansha and Biying: "Huansha, Biying, you two Take good care of Miss"

"Yes, madam" the two bowed their knees

Xiao Ziqiu said with a smile: "Madam Luo, don't worry, I will accompany Qingyan there later, there will be no danger."

Luo Qingyan frowned slightly, but said nothing.Huansha and Biying looked at each other with a knowing light in their eyes.If Bai Yan was surprised for a moment, there was still a hint of clarity and uncertainty in his eyes.She said gently: "Then I will trouble the second prince." She gave a blessing, and then walked into the hall accompanied by Lu Yi...

Xiao Ziqiu turned his head and looked at Luo Qingyan with a smile: "Qingyan, I'll retreat to you." He walked behind her, and Huansha automatically retreated to her side.She winked at Bi Ying at the side,
Biying understood.Then he lowered his head slightly and said to Luo Qingyan: "Miss, after walking for a long time, you must be hungry too. Huansha and I are going to give you some snacks. You and the second prince will go there first, and we will come later." "

"Well, let's go." Luo Qingyan didn't think much about it, anyway, she was indeed a little hungry.Someone is willing to push her around, so why not do it?

"Yes" Bi Ying's bright eyes looked at Xiao Ziqiu's knowingly smiling eyes, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry to trouble the second prince." After saying a blessing, she and Huansha walked in another direction.

Xiao Ziqiu pushed Luo Qingyan to a small pavilion in the backyard.Looking outside the pavilion, the blue lake is misty, the tree shadows are faint, the fish are happy, and the birds are singing lightly.It is quiet and leisurely, but it is quite scenic and has a special charm.

"It's quiet in this ancient Buddhist temple, and I feel a lot more relaxed when I'm there." Maybe it's a place of Buddha dust, without secular pollution, annoying power and desire, no fighting, and no fighting.So it looks very quiet here, which makes people feel at ease.

Xiao Ziqiu smiled: "Qingyan looks very old-fashioned." He seemed to be talking unintentionally, his eyes, which were as bright as obsidian, did not have the slightest ups and downs.

Luo Qingyan's lips hidden under the veil pulled out a slight arc, and her phoenix eyes were calm: "Why would Ziqiu think of coming to this Baohua Temple today? Could it be that he also wants to ask Master Wuchen?" She asked nonchalantly.

Xiao Ziqiu looked at her, his bright black eyes sparkled, and the luster at the bottom of his eyes became more and more warm and soft.

"I have nothing to do, let's go out for a walk. I just heard that Qingyan is going to come to Baohua Temple today, so" his black eyes rolled, and a nice smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I'm coming."

Eh?Luo Qingyan raised her eyes in surprise, and when she met his smiling eyes, she didn't have any special feelings, and she was relieved immediately.It seems that she was thinking too much, how could someone as extraordinary as Xiao Ziqiu...

She frowned, her phoenix eyes were a little unhappy.It may be that Xiao Ziqiu's tone just now was too gentle, and his words were so ambiguous and thought-provoking.But his eyes were clear and clear, without any impurities.I couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, this Xiao Ziqiu, why did he talk to her in such a gentle tone when he had nothing to do?It made her almost think that he fell in love with her.Just like once, that person...

Thinking of that person, my heart hurts again.Dai Mei frowned, with sadness and bitterness in her eyes.Didn't we agree?If you want to forget him, why do you still think of him?I know it clearly, but just thinking about it will hurt my heart.But why, his shadow always follows her like a shadow, haunting her...

Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, she just lowered her head, and there was still a lot of sadness around her.Just like that time when she was drunk in Sifangju.Such a sad back made his heart ache, as if he was being grabbed by someone.

"Qingyan, what's wrong with you?"

She raised her eyes and met those eyes full of worry.In a trance, she seemed to see those gentle eyes that were also as dark as ink again. Her eyes were full of confusion and memories.Subconsciously asked: "Ziqiu, have you ever loved a woman? It's that kind of deep love that is unforgettable"

Xiao Ziqiu's warm eyes trembled, and the bottom of the eyes stirred up layers of waves.She who looks like this...as if...can't help but wrinkle his beautiful eyebrows tightly.In my heart, I suddenly seemed to be blocked by a big rock, and I couldn't breathe.

However, Luo Qingyan had recovered her clarity, and her eyes were looking forward calmly.Now, she finally understands.Why does she think of Su Haoran every time she faces Xiao Ziqiu.That's because his eyes are too similar to Su Haoran's.The only difference is that Xiao Ziqiu is originally a gentle person, so his eyes are always so warm.But Su Haoran is different, Su Haoran is an indifferent and almost cold-blooded man.His eyes have always been indifferent and alienated.Only when facing her will he be so gentle as to drip water.That's why she thought that she was different from Su Haoran.That's why when he brought another woman to her, she felt so unbelievable and heartbroken...

"no"

In a trance, Xiao Ziqiu's gentle voice came from above his head.She froze, but didn't speak.Xiao Ziqiu turned his distant gaze to her.The strong emotion was suppressed in the bottom of his eyes, and the hands behind his back tightened tightly.bowed his head and added

"There was no before" and now there is, this sentence, he didn't say it.

"En" she subconsciously gave a soft grace, and stopped talking.

The atmosphere was suddenly quiet, with a low-pressure dead silence.A gust of autumn wind swept by, and pieces of land on the ground were swept up by the wind, fluttering and flying in the air.Like dancing butterflies, such beauty confused her enchanting phoenix eyes.

She stretched out her slender and tender jade hand to catch a falling maple leaf.Touching the texture of the leaves with her fingers, the expression in her phoenix eyes gradually softened.With a slight movement of the finger, the maple leaf was immediately swept into the air by the wind, whirling and dancing in the air.Falling into her pair of clear eyes, dotted with a little soft luster.

The pair of black pupils were dazzled by the rare gentle expression in a thousand years, and Xiao Ziqiu looked at the purple-clothed woman in the wheelchair.Her eyebrows are picturesque, her expression is soft, like soft catkins.Pieces of maple leaves fell on her shoulders and hair.There is no embarrassment at all, but a little more leisurely and elegant.It is like a bright pearl in the world of mortals, so radiant and dazzling.So beautiful, you can't take your eyes off it.

Luo Qingyan didn't know that her expression of comfort with her eyes closed at the moment fell into a pair of dark and deep eyes hidden in the dark.In those deep eyes, the indifference has long since disappeared, only slowly amazed and...complicated...

With the sound of light footsteps, she opened her eyes.The moment she looked back, Huansha and Biying had already come to her with refreshments

"Miss, the second prince. Are you all hungry? This is the snack that Biying and I made in the dining hall. You can eat some first." She and Biying put the tray on the stone table and poured it over. He drank two cups of tea and placed them in front of Luo Qingyan and Xiao Ziqiu respectively.Then he stepped aside and waited for orders.

Holding a piece of green snack in his hand, Su lifted the veil.Put it in your mouth and take a bite.

"Well, the craftsmanship of Huansha is getting better and better," she praised generously.Glancing at Xiao Ziqiu: "Ziqiu, don't stand still, come and taste it too"

Xiao Ziqiu didn't hold back, he sat down with a smile, and ate his snacks gracefully.He didn't particularly like sweet and greasy food, but now, he finds this dessert extremely delicious.Because, this elegant woman opposite him...

Luo Qingyan was chewing her snacks, and suddenly, she sighed softly, "Hey! Huansha, your craftsmanship is so ingenious. Miss, I will never be willing to marry you off in the future." She said with a look of reluctance. Full of cunning.

Huansha was taken aback for a moment, and then her pretty face blushed: "Miss, you know how to make fun of Huansha" Her juicy eyes were full of shyness
"I'm not kidding." Luo Qingyan raised her eyebrows and said, "You have been with me for ten years, and you will have to marry sooner or later. Someday, miss, I will find you a good family and make you look good." just get married"

"Miss..." Huansha was a little moved

Luo Qingyan seemed to think of something suddenly, and straightened her face.Looking straight at Huansha and Biying standing beside her
"Huansha, Biying. Listen, you two, if you have to meet a lover in the future. If that person can't give you the only one. Then even if I kill you with my own hands, I won't marry you off." She She said it resolutely and firmly. She knew that in ancient times, it was very common for a man to have three wives and four concubines.But she disdains it, and she can't control others.But her person must be the only one.Otherwise, she would rather kill them with her own hands, and it would be better for them to die for the rest of their lives.

"Miss..." Huanxie Biying was shocked and moved.Two pairs of eyes full of tears
Xiao Ziqiu's warm and translucent black eyes were surprised for a moment, and then, there seemed to be a breeze blowing.Those bright black pupils immediately softened, as gentle as water...

In the dark, those deep black eyes were full of shock, as well as this trace of understanding and...surprise?The beautiful lips hooked gently, she was indeed special...turned around, and left quietly...

And here, after Luo Qingyan finished saying that, her expression of indifference returned.She didn't pick up the teacup until she felt full, brought it to her lips, and moistened her throat.

Looking at Xiao Ziqiu, who is elegant and calm opposite, there seems to be a clear light flashing in the phoenix eyes.Squinting his eyes, just in time, a yellowed leaf fell on his shoulder.The phoenix eyes moved slightly, and asked

"Ziqiu, is your birthday in autumn?"

Yep?Xiao Ziqiu was a little surprised, how did she know?Nodding: "Yes" and then asked: "How did Qingyan know?"

Luo Qingyan propped her chin with her hand, looking at Xiao Ziqiu's gentle face.Muttered: "Ziqiu, Ziqiu, know autumn, leaves fall know autumn. It's quite poetic"

Eh?Xiao Ziqiu's dark pupils flashed a light, but he never thought that his name has such a meaning?
"Puchi" Huansha on the side suddenly laughed, and Biying tilted her head, looking at her with some confusion

"Huansha, what are you laughing at?"

Huansha raised her head, seeing the suspicious gaze cast by Luo Qingyan and Xiao Ziqiu, the smile at the corner of her mouth deepened, and she said, "Miss just said 'Ye Luo Zhiqiu'" Her spiritual eyes flashed a sly gleam, and then lightly He laughed and said: "Isn't it the young lady and the second prince? The young lady's surname is a word for 'Luo'. The second prince's name is 'Ziqiu', which sounds the same as 'Zhiqiu'. The combination of your two names is not the same. Is it 'Ye Luo Zhi Qiu'?" She laughed as she spoke, with an ambiguous gleam in her eyes that couldn't be hidden.After she said this, Bi Ying was stunned for a moment, then she covered her lips and laughed.

Luo Qingyan paused when she heard the words, she really never thought that her casual sentence would make Huansha understand such a meaning?After Xiao Ziqiu heard this, his eyes that were as bright as jewels were startled for a moment, and then, a smile of joy flowed in his eyes, so deep and so soft... When he looked at Luo Qingyan's gaze, he became more and more overjoyed, as gentle as water…

"That's it." Huansha smiled and continued, "It's called 'Fate'." She specially emphasized the word "Fate", and the luster in her eyes was somewhat meaningful.

Luo Qingyan glanced at her sideways: "You girl is getting smarter and smarter." She looked calm, without any embarrassment: "There are many people with the surname 'Luo' in this world, and I am not the only one. What is the fate? But just a coincidence"

As soon as she said that, Xiao Ziqiu's black eyes, which were bright just now, dimmed instantly, and his expression was a little lonely and sighed.

Obviously it was just a joke, it was obviously just a coincidence.But what she didn't know was that these four words made a man think about her for the rest of his life, and he was infatuated with her for the rest of his life, with no complaints or regrets...
