Chapter 24: Prayer

Early the next morning, I was urged by Lianxi, who broke into the palace.

Today is the sixteenth day of the lunar month, the suburb of the city Guiyuan Temple opened the altar, specially for the good men and women who seek marriage, the blessing of the marriage is smooth, it is to attract countless people to worship every year.

I yawned and sat on the dresser, letting Jinglan curl up and down my hair.

Lian Xi urged Jinglan urgently on the side: "Hurry up, this colorful butterfly is better than that Baoyue hairpin! Sister, you let Jinglan be faster, and you won't be able to squeeze in if there are more people for a while!"

I yawned and ignored her.

"Sister, you didn't go to bed until late last night, why did you look so bad?"

Because of Lianxi's words, I looked into the bronze mirror, and sure enough, my face was tired, and two dark circles appeared.

When I thought of sitting on the roof with Yu Wenqi and talking for a while last night, and then I was carried back to the dormitory by him while I was asleep, my face was unconsciously dyed with a touch of red.

Jinglan glanced at it and took out the fat powder: "The princess doesn't like to use these on weekdays, but since she is accompanying the little princess today, the princess should dress up a little." ”

Lian Xi nodded in agreement.

I didn't have time to think about this, so I closed my eyes and squinted for a while while she was brushing my eyebrows and powdering my eyebrows.

Two emerald pink and Tilian sedan chairs were carried out of the palace from Qingxiao Gate one after the other.

A slender jade hand lifted the corner of the sedan curtain slightly, and I hid behind the shark silk yarn and watched the crowds on the streets of Chang'an City, so lively.

This is the first time I have appeared in normal women's clothes in Chang'an City, and I feel a little new and nervous. The star slave sitting in my sedan chair probably wasn't used to my ordinary and delicate daughter's dress, and he was embarrassed to come over and play with me along the way as before.

Lianxi's sedan chair followed closely behind.

The main purpose of going to Guiyuan Temple this time is to ask for marriage in front of the Bodhisattva for her, and to bless the prince of Yan Guo to enter the palace as soon as possible. It's so cute to see her full of joy.

Guiyuan Temple is located on the mountainside in the suburbs, and there is a section of the road that is quite rugged and can only allow two people to pass, so we can only get off the sedan chair and walk.

Along the way, I could always see a pair of men and women hugging each other, and Lianxi and I looked at each other, so we had to bury our heads and pay attention to the steps under our feet.

Today I wore a colorful thousand-colored plum blossom gauze skirt according to Jinglan, and when I left, Zhizhi stuffed a silver fox cloak into me, which was extremely inconvenient to walk in a long-sleeved and long coat.

The star slave ran in front alone, with a happy face, waving for us to follow as soon as possible.

As I walked up the steps, I gasped heavily. Looking at the winding road under my feet, I felt that it almost killed me, a sick seedling.

Lian Xi looked excitedly at the temple in front of him, and the crowd was boiling.

She turned to me and said, "Sister, look, there are a lot of people!"

I raised my head when I heard the sound, and as soon as my eyes fell, my body stiffened, and I was stunned in place - at the entrance of the temple not far away, Yuwen Qiye was standing.

He was dressed in simple clothes, and his hair was only curled up in an ordinary way, and such an inconspicuous outfit was particularly eye-catching in the crowd.

My eyes were fixed on his side, and a woman in a pink robe stood gracefully.

The two stood together, like a fairy couple, pleasing to the eye, such a wonderful picture attracted the side eyes of many people who came and went.

I stood still, and suddenly I felt that the sun was a little harsh today.

The woman saw me one step ahead of him, and she actually smiled, her phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and she greeted me cordially from afar: "Sister, why are you here?"

I hurriedly turned my head and pretended not to see it, and turned to leave.

Who knew that Lianxi also found them, and innocently waved to them in the air: "Sister Lan Shao, why are you with my sister's husband?"

When Lan Shao heard this, his expression froze, and his face changed again and again.

I covered her mouth and whispered, "Lianxi, what nonsense are you talking about?

After saying that, he glanced at them weakly, and Lan Shao's face returned to normal, smiling as if he was wearing a mask.

Who knew that he was standing on the side, with his hands on his chest, and looked at me with deep eyes: "You are here, did you sleep well after I left last night?"

I floated the ground and red ears.

Lan Shao stared at him in disbelief, and the mask that had just recovered seemed to be a little unsupportable.

"Hmm...... Hmm......" Lianxi broke free from my hands, stared at me and Qi Ye in surprise, and said for a while: "Sister, you...... You're lying to me and saying that you don't have a husband, how can you sleep with him without a husband?"

I looked at Qi Ye with a choked voice, and begged him with my eyes to explain it quickly.

Qi Ye asked, "Your sister said she doesn't have a husband?" Lian Xi nodded again and again, and I nodded too.

Unexpectedly, he sighed lightly and said to me, "How can you deceive the juniors? Although I have not yet asked the emperor for marriage, you can't repay the debt." ”

"What do I have to pay for?" I retorted with a red face, glancing at Lan Shao, whose face was already stiff, "You and her came here to ask for marriage, why did you come here to provoke me again?" I will also go to ask for a sign in a while, bless me to find a marriage quickly." You accompany your beauty, I beg my beloved, let's go our own way, there will be a period later!"

After that, he picked up Lianxi and rushed to the temple, not paying attention to his expression after hearing it, and whether he had any reaction.

Lianxi saw my murderous face along the way, and his words hurriedly diverged stiffly, "Since we have received the permission of our ancestors to ask for marriage today, my sister should hurry up and worship with me, don't delay." ”

I nodded rarely, and saw the star slave coming over: "Let's go in." ”

Walking outside the temple gate, I quietly looked back and found that he had his back to me, and he was still there with Lan Shao, which was very eye-catching.

I snorted coldly and followed Lianxi into the temple.

The main hall is filled with incense mist.

I absentmindedly shook out the sticker, "Click--" The sound of the sticks falling to the ground shook my body, and the white-bearded host sitting above raised his eyebrows and glanced at me.

"The sound of the wind making the bamboo, only the sound of the golden pei, the moon moving the shadow of the flower, it is suspected that the jade man ......is coming," I silently read the signature on the side, and looked up to ask the presiding master.

"He thinks about being poor, and he hates it endlessly, because he has lost his male and female for Jiaoluan's phoenix. Lian Xi also read the wooden skewer that he shook out in his hand, "Master, what is the explanation of this skewer?"

The host stroked the white whiskers on his chin, but smiled silently.

The little novice on the side gave us a salute: "Amitabha, the secret of heaven must not be revealed. Two donors, these two signs have never been sought since the opening of the temple, and today I am fortunate to be asked by the two donors, which is also a kind of fate. ”

Xiao Shami took out two bags from the side and handed them over with both hands: "This is a bag that has been opened, and it contains Bodhi dust, which can keep the two donors safe." ”

Lianxi and I looked at each other and smiled, and took the bag: "Thank you Buddha for your blessing." ”

……

"Sister, it turns out that we have drawn a lot that no one else has ever drawn, so lucky!" As soon as he stepped out of the main hall, Lian Xi happily pulled me and said, "Although I don't know that this lottery is unlucky, but I begged the Bodhisattva, and the Bodhisattva will definitely bless me to meet the son of Shen Zhan soon." ”

I looked at her lively and childish appearance, and reached out to comb her slightly scattered hair: "You haven't seen him, how do you know if you like him or not?"

Lian Xi pouted and said unconvinced: "Although I haven't seen him, I often dream of him." The dream was hazy, and I couldn't see what he looked like. But he treats me very gently, and I'm sure the same must be true of the Shen Zhan Shizi in reality!"

Her words reminded me of a dream I once had too.

In my dream, the snow was falling, and a man in a dark coat stood in the snow, blowing a long flute, and looked at me without moving.

I suddenly forgot what the person looked like in my dream, and it seemed that there was a frost between my eyebrows.

"Sister, why don't you speak, let's go to the Suo Luo Yueshu over there and write a wish!" Lian Xi pulled me excitedly and ran in the direction of the crowd.

Just two steps: "Strange, why hasn't my brother-in-law left ...... yet"

I hurriedly looked up, Yuwen Qiye was standing alone under the lush Suluo Moon Tree in the Panyuan, and when he saw me looking up at him, he smiled and waved to me.

"Blackie, come here. ”
