Rebirth Palace Chaos

Chapter 7

In July, the scorching midsummer was over halfway through, and a fine autumn rain came quietly. Su Yan's face was healed, her skin was as white as before, and there was no scar at all.

Ning Wenyuan was busy with affairs in the palace, so he went to Su's residence to visit her when he had time. At first, Su Yan was normal, but gradually, she became estranged.

When he came to the mansion yesterday, Su Yan was taking a nap on the crooked couch, and she only asked Lan Ruo to speak for her, and they didn't meet each other.

How could Ning Wenyuan be unaware of it because of his exquisite mind?It's just that he is unruly by nature, and rightly treats her like a little girl at heart, thinking that in the future, he will eventually turn around.

"He's gone?" Su Yan stared blankly at the picture of Begonia sleeping in spring, feeling empty in her heart.

Lan Ruo handed over a green snow hairpin and said, "Mr. Ning taught the slaves to Miss."

Su Yansu joined hands, looked at it for a moment, put it on the pillow again, and asked, "What else did he say?"

Lan Ruo replied, "Mr. Ning said, if Miss doesn't use it, she can just keep it."

He was really the only one who could say this, Su Yan twitched the corner of her mouth slightly, and told Lan Ruo to go down.

Until Mrs. Zhao also noticed something, she called her to question carefully, Su Yan only said, "I used to know taboos when I was young, but now it's inconvenient to be too intimate."

Mrs. Zhao thought for a while, then said, "Wen Yuan, a child, watched him grow up. He is a man with both talents and virtues, and now he is becoming more and more promising. The master already values ​​him, and you have always been close. I am very interested in bringing you..."

Su Yan had already guessed seven or eight points, and now she confirmed it even more. She took Zhao Shi's hand and said, "Yan'er's ambition is not here."

"My mother knows that you have a high character. Based on your appearance, it is not difficult to find a better family. But Wen Yuan is sincere to you, and he is also young and promising. Our Su family has never been greedy for wealth. I just hope that my daughter can live a happy life."

Su Yan knew in her heart that even if this young girl of the Su family married Ning Wenyuan, she would definitely not be wronged. She was all first-class in appearance and background, and she couldn't ask for it no matter how many girls from the boudoir family asked for it.

It's just that she has too many worries, her vengeance has not been avenged, her son is far away in the palace, and the high Nine-Five Lord cannot teach her to let go.

Mrs. Zhao's words were sincere, perhaps this body was of the blood of the Su family, Su Yan was also touched, and thinking of her deceased parents, her feelings were hard to calm down, so she got off the couch, bowed respectfully, and knelt down Said, "Chunhui on every inch of grass, Yan'er should repay mother's kindness forever."

Moved by emotion, Zhao had already shed tears, so she pulled Su Yan up and embraced her in her arms to comfort her.

Su Yan said quietly, "Three months later, the current Holy Master has a vast harem, and he is drafting girls in the palace hall, and Yan'er has decided to participate in the election."

Mrs. Zhao was taken aback, then shook her head in disbelief, "The heavenly family is impermanent, my mother is reluctant to send you to that shady place, and regardless of whether you can be favored by the emperor, when you get old and look bad, you will inevitably end up in a miserable end. You see Concubine Rong, which woman in the world can be half as beautiful as her? But she still ended up like this! Mother and your father have already discussed it, and they will choose a day to accommodate you with that maidservant and call you sick early , not included in the quota."

"My daughter has made up her mind, she will enter the palace, and I hope her mother will be fulfilled." Su Yan was very firm, and Mrs. Zhao tried to persuade her a few times, but she never wavered at all, so she had to take it easy and said that she would discuss it with the master again.

As the saying goes, one autumn rain and one cold, but it is true.

Zhanyan is already the third day of September, the zodiac is very auspicious, Mrs. Zhao has prepared the sesame oil and money a few days ago, and originally planned to take Su Yan to the Taiyue Temple ten miles outside the city for pilgrimage, and divination of auspicious divination.

Just as he was about to go out, someone from the Lin family came.

"Yan'er, I came here to find you and offer incense together." Lin Qingqing wore a light pleated skirt with chrysanthemum patterns, her hair was simply tied up, and only a jadeite hairpin was inserted obliquely, which was very elegant.

Seeing Lin Qingqing's arrival, Mrs. Zhao was overjoyed, and dragged her to confess, saying that she was always prudent, and she had to take good care of Yan'er, and don't teach her to cause trouble.

Su Yan straightened her bun. It was the snail bun she used to wear when she was in the Tang Mansion. Today she dressed up carefully and picked out a flowery scarf dress. Her eyebrows looked like distant mountains, like a moon in a cage of smoke Generally, charming but not gorgeous.

She stepped forward and took Lin Qingqing's hand, and said with a smile, "Sister Lin and I thought of going together."

Lin Qingqing sized her up and down, and half-jokingly said, "Yan'er, you are more and more beautiful than before, you just entered the temple to offer incense, and the scarlet color is too eye-catching?"

Su Yan didn't take it seriously, and approached, "I'm just going to ask for a lottery to pray for blessings. If you are sincere, you will be spiritual. I don't want to practice Taoism and be an aunt. You have to wear plain clothes and a plain face."

"I know you've always had a sharp mouth, but I can't tell you, let's hurry up, and it won't work if you miss the auspicious time."

Mrs. Zhao asked Lan Ruo and two young servants to follow, and stayed in the mansion by herself.

The car drove out of Zhengyang Gate, and it took about an hour's drive from the capital to Taiyue Temple, but there was only one official road leading directly.

The Taiyue Temple was designated by the royal imperial decree for the royal family to pray for blessings. Later, it was gradually opened to officials, but there were regulations on grades, and only the family members of officials with a rank of seven or above could be admitted.

"Master Minghui is a master of Taoism. I heard that he doesn't take money for divination, but only for eye contact. Only those who are lucky can see him." Lin Qingqing said.

Su Yan then replied, "Even if you can't do the divination, adding some incense can be regarded as accumulating good fortune."

Lin Qingqing nodded, and suddenly remembered something, and said, "Today is an auspicious day, so the temple must be very lively, and I heard from my father when I came here, and after the hour, the temple will be closed and people will not be allowed to come in and out. .”

Su Yan lifted the curtain, and saw the cars and horses rumbling along the wide official road, all of which were roofed by high-rise cars, she said, "There are so many people, how many people are there who don't know the fate."

Just as Lin Qingqing was about to speak, suddenly the car body jerked violently, the two of them might as well hit the wall of the car, Su Yan grabbed her hand tightly, so as not to fall off the car.

She opened the door curtain and asked, "But was it hit by a stone?"

Lan Ruo looked anxious, and only replied, "The Si Ma Xuan car in front drove straight from behind, and stopped us abruptly."

Follow along and look forward.I saw that Xuan car was extraordinarily gorgeous, followed by five domestic servants, the formation was really not small, and the people in the car naturally had high official positions.

Lin Qingqing stopped her by the shoulder and said winkingly, "That is the chariot and horse from the Fuyuan General's Mansion."

Only then did Su Yan see the three-foot-long bright yellow brocade hanging on both sides of the vehicle, she retracted her body and said, "It used to belong to the General's Mansion, no wonder it is so majestic."

The two sat back in the car, and the horse started slowly. Lin Qingqing said leisurely, "General Yao Qifeng of Fuyuan just quelled the war in southern Xinjiang. He returned to Beijing last month. He was appreciated by the emperor. He jumped two steps. Now he is in the official residence. It is the second grade, and the limelight is approaching those six ministers."

As an official of the fourth rank in the Su family district, she naturally couldn't afford to offend her, so she stopped talking.

Outside the main entrance of Taiyue Temple, dozens of floats were parked by the mountain, and ladies and wives entered the temple one after another.

Two attendants, young monks, waited at the inner threshold, and Lan Ruo handed over the token of the Su Mansion before they could enter.

The pagoda is magnificent, and Su Yan accompanied Duan Zhaoling once a few years ago to pray for the royal family.

Now the world has been turned upside down outside, but there has been no change here, the years in the mountains are the same as before, I don't know what year it is.

There were a few young ladies waiting anxiously in front, and Master Fan Minghui would personally roll their names before they could enter the room to ask for divination.

"The second lady of the Wangfu came the first, but Master Minghui still didn't see her, so she left in frustration." Lan Ruo pointed out softly.

Su Yan glanced directly, but she didn't see the second lady of the Wang family, but a young lady came down from the Si Ma Xuan carriage, surrounded by servants.

The woman held her head high, her body straight, and she was wearing a dark purple fur-embellished brocade jacket with a tight belt, her imposing manner was very compelling.

She patted the back of Lin Qingqing's hand lightly, and the two of them quietly stood aside. When the woman approached, they saw that the facial features were beautiful, although they were not stunning, they were quite heroic.

"She is the general's niece, her maiden name is Yao Xilan." Lin Qingqing whispered to her.

Since Yao Xilan entered the temple, her steps have been steady, her eyes have not turned sideways, she doesn't pay attention to the female family members who are full of courtyards, and she is full of arrogance.

Su Yan was extremely honored and favored in her previous life, what kind of rich and powerful could be in her eyes?Although this great general is mighty, he is far from the old prime minister's mansion. This woman is so arrogant, she is really conceited.

Yao Xilan walked to Su Yan's side, and suddenly stopped, her eyes swept over her face, lingering on her face, but she didn't speak.

Su Yan raised her head lightly, her posture was not weak at all, but she was slightly surprised, then turned to her servant and said, "There are many people ahead, please inform the abbot for me."

After she waved her sleeves away, Lan Ruo murmured, "Because I have a powerful uncle, I'm so defiant..."

But Su Yan straightened her clothes and said, "But Master Minghui doesn't recognize Miss General, let's just wait and see."

Sure enough, after a while, Yao Xilan returned to the courtyard and went to the side hall to enjoy the cool air.

Lin Qingqing held the handkerchief and smiled, and said, "Yan'er, you guessed right."

While the two were talking, a young monk in gray came to salute and said, "Master invites Miss Lin Fu into the hall."

Su Yan shook her hand and said, "Sister Lin is destined, she must ask for a good lottery, so that I can be happy."

"I'm a little nervous right now, and I don't know what I can ask for." Lin Qingqing stroked her chest, and the light-colored dress slowly disappeared into the deep hall.

Taking advantage of the gap, Su Yan went to the Huanxi Buddha in the side hall to offer incense, added enough incense money, then knelt down on the futon and worshiped three times.

Listening to the distant Sanskrit singing, I only feel that my mind is clear and I forget my worries for a while.

When she opened her eyes, she didn't know when Yao Xilan was also kneeling on the futon beside her, level with her.

Yao Xilan was thin and tall, taller than Su Yan by an inch, she didn't intend to have any trouble with this young lady general, so she gathered up her clothes and wanted to leave after paying her respects.

Unexpectedly, Yao Xilan said firmly, "The realm of Buddhism is full of flowers, I don't know who to watch?"

Her voice was slightly low, but she was very confident. Su Yan said nothing, so she said coldly, "I'm talking to you, why didn't you answer? Which family are you from, you don't know how to be polite."

Only then did Su Yan raise her eyes, and said in a relaxed tone, "I come from a small family, so I dare not mention my wealth in front of Miss Yao. You and I are strangers, and I don't know that you are talking to me."

"There are only you and me in this hall, so who else can you say?" Yao Xilan raised her face and raised her face.

Su Yan smiled lightly, and replied, "Perhaps it was said by the Buddha, but I don't know."

"Yan'er, it's your turn to go in." She turned her head, and Lin Qingqing was already standing outside the door, waving at her.

Su Yan blessed her body and said goodbye to Yao Xilan, but she just turned her face away, as if she hadn't seen her.

Seeing that Lin Qingqing's face was not very bright, Su Yan knew the depth, and didn't ask much about the result, she just kept silent, pulled up her skirt and entered the hall.

In the main hall, sandalwood incense curls up, light smoke lingers, and the hall is deep and secluded. After passing a dark lacquered wooden screen more than ten feet high, one can see an old man with white beard sitting on the woven hemp futon, wearing a gray robe and an old shirt, holding a Twist a string of Buddhist beads, each one the size of a longan.

"My daughter pays homage to Master Minghui." Su Yan stopped a few feet away and saluted respectfully.

Master Minghui didn't raise his head, he picked up three beads and said, "I haven't had any distinguished guests here for a long time, so you can sit down by yourself."
