Chapter 288
The weather was not beautiful, and before we arrived at Puji Temple, it began to rain lightly.Pattering, a layer of rain and fog formed, covering the world and the earth in this layer of fog, making it hazy and indistinct.

When Ye Xinyi arrived, Zhaoning hadn't come yet.She didn't get out of the carriage in a hurry, but just opened the curtain and looked out through the window.

Because it was not the meeting time, and also because of the weather, it looked very deserted, but the temple flowers and trees, shrouded in rain and fog, looked more like a fairyland.

It didn't take long for a carriage to come running over. It looked like an ordinary wealthy family's carriage, but there were quite a few people following the carriage. Among them were a few men with vigorous gait and protruding acupoints. , His eyes are hale and hearty, and he is a master at a glance.

It should be the guards in the palace, even if Concubine Xie Gui asked Zhaoning to come out of the palace, she would ensure her safety.

Sure enough, the carriage stopped slowly, and a girl dressed as a maid got out of the carriage first, it was Chan'er.

Sure enough, Zhaoning has arrived.

When Liu Lu helped Ye Xinyi out of the carriage, Zhaoning was also helped out of the carriage by Chaner.

Holding a red oil-paper umbrella and wearing a plain cloak, Zhaoning's haggard face was even more contrasted.

But I haven't seen it for a few days, and the half-opened flower buds seem to be wilting.

Ye Xinyi sighed, said a few words to her, and entered the temple together.

Earlier, people had been sent to the temple to inform them. When they arrived, there was already a little novice waiting at the gate of the temple, and they went to the main hall to welcome them.

Arrived in the main hall, burnt incense, added money for sesame oil, and discussed with the great monks to make a water and land dojo on the 21st of March [-]th. Zhaoning appointed a servant to live in the temple during these days to be responsible for this matter.

Then he took Ye Xinyi to the lantern tower, lit a long-burning lamp for Die'er, and Zhaoning personally offered the shrine.

Then, he folded his hands together in front of the lamp and prayed silently for a long time before opening his eyes. Instead of looking at Ye Xinyi, he stared at the ever-burning lamp and said in a low tone, "Dieer has been with me for eight years." , almost grew up with me, and she and Chan'er spent more time with me than my concubine mother. Right now, she is dying so badly, but it is because of me after all."

As for whether Die Er really betrayed her, Zhaoning must have been unwilling to pursue it. Once a person dies, the bad side left in his heart will fade away, while the good memories will become more and more profound.I can't remember the bad ones, and I can't forget the good ones.

Ye Xinyi understood, and looked up at the thousands of mourning lights in the lamphouse, dotted with stars, "There is a princess who is thinking about it, and the Buddha will protect her. In the next life, Die'er will definitely be reborn into a good family, with both parents, no worries about food and clothing, and she will marry a lover , the sons and daughters wrap around their knees."

Zhaoning turned to look at her, but didn't say anything, but his eyes were faintly moist, he turned his head and looked at the ever-burning lamp that belonged to Die'er, clasped his hands together, and closed his eyes.

The flickering candlelight made Zhaoning's profile mottled and flickering, but it was indescribably peaceful.

When Zhaoning and Fangcai arrived at Puji Temple after they came out of the lamp tower, there were obvious changes.

Although his face was still a little haggard, his eyes were a little more radiant than before.

If you don't reach the suffering, you don't believe in gods and Buddhas.

There is no need to delve into the existence of gods and Buddhas, but at least, at certain times, these nihilistic existences can actually give people comfort.

The rain also stopped.After being washed by the rain, the flowers, trees and roof tiles look fresher and brighter, and the slightly moist wind between the noses seems to be refreshing.

Because of this, the slightly wet floor under your feet is not so unacceptable.

Zhaoning took a deep breath, "The purity of this Buddhist gate is really good, at least it can calm people down." While speaking, she slightly raised the corners of her lips, and a faint smile jumped onto her lips. She turned her head and looked at Ye Xinyi said, "Mrs. Shen, let's walk around!"

Ye Xinyi naturally had no answer, "The vegetarian dishes in Puji Temple are the most famous. I have asked them to arrange a meditation room and set up a table for us. The princess walked around and had a look at the scenery. When I came back, it was just in time. .”

Although it's not raining anymore, I don't know if it will rain again, so Chan'er and Liu Lu both held umbrellas and followed behind, while Ye Xinyi and Zhaoning walked slowly ahead, separated by about four or five steps. After that, there were two guards in normal uniforms, followed by a few waiters, holding some objects in their hands.

There are many flowering trees planted in Puji Temple, but in this season, the spring flowers such as cherry, peach, and magnolia have either withered, or have reached the end of the flowering period, and are scattered by the rain, looking a little sad.On the contrary, those ginkgo and maple trees spread their branches and leaves after the rain, they are emerald green, full of vitality, and they look very gratifying.

There is also the Hanyu with its leaves stretched on the release pond, which also makes people feel refreshed.

After walking for a while, Zhaoning's face became much calmer, and he probably felt a little tired, so he dragged Ye Xinyi to the stone table by the release pool, and those who followed hurried up to lay mats and set refreshments.After a while, the stone table was settled, and the two sat down.

"It's been a few days, and only today I feel a little more relaxed, just thinking about going back to that palace city, I feel uncomfortable. Most likely, I'm just like what my mother and concubine said, I'm a good-for-nothing Yes. He was born there, but he always wants to escape."

Zhao Ning would never say these words even to Concubine Xie Gui, but today, to Ye Xinyi, she uttered them naturally.After these words were spoken, Zhaoning felt a bit more relieved in his depressed heart.

How could Ye Xinyi not know the hidden trust and intimacy?She pondered for a while, and said softly, "Princess is very affectionate and sexual. She is not promising, but she is not suitable for it. Fortunately, although the princess was born there, she will not be trapped there for the rest of her life. People, the princess is still much luckier."

These words are strange.Zhao Ning thought, what she said just now was really a bit outrageous, it's okay to tell Mrs. Ye, and she is not a talkative person, so she won't say it.But most of the time, she would be wise to protect herself, keep silent, or persuade her a few words, let her cherish her blessings or something, but she never thought that she would actually say something like this.

Obviously, she agreed with her idea, and she really opened her heart.

"The princess understands what I mean. As long as the princess is married, she can naturally leave the palace city. During this period of time, the imperial concubine must also be busy looking after the princess. I reckon that the princess's marriage will be settled soon. When it comes down, the princess will naturally be able to leave the palace and live freely." Although, as a royal princess, absolute freedom is impossible, but relatively speaking, she is much more comfortable than in the palace.

There is no need to worry about conspiracy calculations all the time.Presumably, Concubine Xie also had considerations in this regard, after all, Zhaoning was really not suitable for living in that palace city.

She wasn't stupid, but she grew up in that palace city, but she still didn't learn those scheming tricks. Instead, she always kept her heart, either she couldn't or she didn't want to.

Zhaoning smiled bitterly, "Who knows, I don't know what kind of family I will find, and whether it is really better than now."
