Chapter 35: Cui Zhen is all seven
On the second day, Liu Xunxuan came to Fahua Temple with Chu Yao. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The info temple is not far away, just ten miles north of the city. There are many people who go to the temple to pray for blessings along the way, and they ride horses all the way over, except for the eighteen stars, there are not many people on the bright face.
The early winter wind was already a little chilly, but the air was crisp and sweet, and a crow landed on a lone tree by the side of the road, spread its wings, shook it on the dead branches, and cried twice in desolation. The farmland on both sides of the official road was bare and covered with a layer of hoarfrost.
Liu Xunxuan was wearing a dark blue jacket like the sea, and a pair of jeans that she forced the weaving department in the palace to make for her, and she rode on the horse with great ease and convenience. Chu Yao wore a black dress in a low-key manner, and the slightly tight black clothes showed off his perfect figure.
Liu Xunxuan and Chu Yao rode together, protected by the front and back. Liu Xunxuan felt that Chu Yao was too much, and as for whether he wanted to make an encirclement to surround them, he seemed to regard her safety as more important than his own. But what she didn't know was that Chu Yao was worried about her safety, he was more worried about her existence, those people were not to prevent others, but to prevent her from escaping.
Walking around a circle, it is naturally not fast, and it takes about an hour for a group to appear at the gate of the temple.
The nullah is already there.
Chu Yao dismounted and hugged Liu Xunxuan again. The nullah and the guards behind him bowed.
The temple is built against the top of the mountain, and there are two or three archways behind the vermilion gate. The bell rang suddenly, and a large flock of birds flew up in the back mountain.
The group slowly walked into the door, climbed a number of rough mountain stone steps, crossed three vermilion painted blue cloud pattern archways, and arrived at the main hall of the temple.
Liu Xunxuan did not walk in, only stood at the door. It was Shakyamuni Buddha who was being enshrined, and he was looking down at her with compassion.
"I heard that the signing here is quite accurate, let's finish the cui real thing later, why don't you come here to ask for a signature?" Chu Yao stood behind her at some point, looked at the Dharma of Shakyamuni Buddha, and asked.
Liu Xunxuan blinked, noncommittal. Turning to the nullah, he asked, "Nullah, can you lead the way?" I'm going to put incense on Cuizhen. ”
"Yes, ma'am." Nullah lowered his head slightly, and under his eyes was a thick black blue.
The nullah led the way, bent to the small courtyard behind the main hall, and then went around into the side hall.
The wooden table in the middle of the side hall is upright with the candlestick incense burner, among which is the inscription on the tablet of Cuizhen, "the position of Sister Yu Cuizhen", and there is a pearl hairpin of a white acacia flower in front of the tablet.
Liu Xunxuan recognized at a glance that the pearl hairpin was the one that the nullah wanted to give to Cui Zhen that day, but Cui Zhen didn't accept it, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Looking at the pale face of the nullah again, the thinner figure couldn't help but grieve.
After everyone offered incense one by one, the monks began to chant. I recited the Lengyan Sutra 9981 times, and recited the Dizang Bodhisattva Sutra 9981 times.
It wasn't until night that Cui Zhen's seven funerals ended.
The nullah has already arranged the accommodation properly, and is now reporting in Chu Yao's cabin.
"Your Majesty, everything has been taken care of." Nullah knelt on the ground and bowed his head.
Chu Yao sat upright in the main seat, and Liu Xunxuan sat next to him with a cup of tea.
Chu Yao raised his sleeves slightly, and the nullah was helped up by a force.
"Nullah, I don't say more, the Si people have passed away."
"Your Majesty, the minister understands that from now on, the nullah will still be the nullah it used to be."
"Well, it's good to understand. The four heroes of my life came later, but they were too fragrant? ”
"Commander Qu is already waiting in the outer room."
"Well, you call him in, you come too, and bring Zihuai too."
"Yes." The nullah took the order and left.
Liu Xunxuan was still indifferently playing with the tea cup on the side, she was still thinking about foreigners using tea for divination, she didn't know what kind of divination method it was, the tea leaves in her cup looked like a person's face, or a sad face. She felt as if something important had been forgotten by her, or perhaps something important she couldn't remember. After thinking about it, she felt that except for a real person to save her father, there should be no other person to care about her.
"Xu'er!"
"Huh?"
"What do you think?"
"Miss you?"
Chu Yao threw over a look of disgust, silently got up and walked to her side, bent down to take the tea cup for her and put it on the table, and gently pulled her to sit down beside him.
"Don't be surprised if Qu Sixia comes in a while."
"What? Why should I be surprised? ”
"Hmm...... He may remind you of something unpleasant. ”
"Huh? What does shrimp mean? ”
Liu Xunxuan had 10,000 thoughts in his heart. Not a nice thing? Damn, can't these politicians talk all at once? Is the emperor amazing? In this way, I will directly attack your brain, and save you from giving me a dumb riddle all day long!!
Just as he was thinking, Nullah had already brought in a young man dressed in black, followed by a little girl in a plain dress.
Qu Men Han!!
With a body as strong as a pine and cypress, such a handsome and picturesque face, who else could Qu Menhan be if it wasn't the gentleman at the bottom of the Fenglan Cliff?
"Qumen! Why are you here? ”
Liu Xunxuan stood up in surprise.
Chu Yao glanced at her suspiciously, and continued to watch the show calmly.
The three people standing below all looked at each other, wondering what was going on.
Qu Sixia looked left at the nullah and Zihuai on the right, and then looked up at Liu Xunxuan's eyes, only to realize that the future Empress Her Royal Highness was indeed called herself.
He knelt down with a puff, "Subordinate Qu Sixia, the commander of the Langya Army." ”
Liu Xun was stupid, this voice sounded loyal and honest, but it didn't look like the evil charm of that gentleman, but this appearance and body shape were exactly the same, could it be the ancient version of the lost twin brothers? Her stunned stall has already made up the classic bloody scene of tears streaming down her eyes when her long-lost twin brothers reunite.
"Oh, Sixia, do you have brothers and sisters?" She asked weakly, and then slowly sat down with a pretended composure.
The four heroes were asked inexplicably, and several other people were also inexplicable. I only heard the four heroes answer, "My subordinates are orphans, and the emperor took them in to barely survive until now, please ...... Please also ......" The four heroes were obviously stupid and couldn't speak, he wanted to say that he also asked the queen mother to investigate, but she was not the queen mother yet, and she didn't know how to call it for a while, so she had to keep stumbling on this sentence, and her face was so anxious that her face was red.
"Alright, get up." Chu Yao hurriedly relieved him, "We are all brothers who grew up together from childhood to adulthood, except for the imperial power, I am the same as you." Only Zihuai is smaller, but he is also a clever ghost. I don't understand that you are all here to help me sit here now. Now that Cui Zhen is gone, we have to be more united. When there are no outsiders, just call my master and her wife. ”
While listening to Chu Yao's words, Liu Xunxuan was still desperately trying to find out whether Qu Sixia was Qu Menhan, and even probed into his mind, and after a long time, he found out that only he and Chu Yao were standing on the tower of Xu Jiecheng and watching her escape.
It turns out that he really isn't the prodigal! Liu Xunxuan sighed in his heart, believing that they were lost twins, and decided to help them reunite.
"Xu'er!" Chu Yao was stunned when he saw her again. "Did you hear that?"
"I hear you. They are all brothers who grew up together, hehe! ”
"Well, the nullah is the commander of the guards. In the past, there was a Yu Jun country at the eastern foot of Raoyu Mountain, and later my grandfather Zhongyong Wuzhu Emperor beat it down and incorporated it into my Yu country, Jun Wei are orphans who went to the territory of the original Yu Jun country when I was not yet the emperor, the nullah is the first, he has been following me, we are the same age, he accompanied me to practice words and swords, and grew up together. Qu Sixia is also an orphan, he was rescued by me when he was chased by a tiger in Raoyu Mountain, and he has followed me ever since. However, he did not enter the guard, and I handed him over to a loyal old minister Qu Xi to raise him, and his surname was Qu. That year, he was admitted to the martial arts champion, Qin Lu didn't know his relationship with me, he wooed him, he pretended to form an alliance with Qin, Qin Lu wanted to give him 100,000 Langya troops on the outskirts of the city, of course I was happy to see it, and then Qin Lu found out that it was already too late, and the four heroes had already gathered the hearts of the army, so Qin Lu didn't dare to do anything to him anymore. Haha, it's hard to think about it now! ”
"It turns out that you were already planning far-reaching when you were young!" Liu Xunxuan sighed calmly and without scheming.
Chu Yao was so blocked by her words that he froze on his face with laughter, which provoked the few people standing below to care about the loss of honor in front of the monarch and laughed one by one, how could they have ever seen Chu Yao's face like this. Chu Yao's face was red at such a joke, and Liu Xunxuan was still calmly watching the joke on the side.
Ahem! Chu Yao cleared his throat, and the people below gradually stopped laughing.
"And Zihuai, she was picked up from the troupe when Cui Zhen went to listen to the drama when she was a child." Chu Yao continued.
"Phew! Who picked it up? Zihuai pouted, looking like he was itching with hatred.
The four heroes standing beside her hurriedly pulled her sleeves.
Chu Yao also smiled, and turned his head to look at Liu Xunxuan, "Xuan'er, what do you think of this girl's temperament?" ”
"It's very dry, and it's completely different from Cui Zhen."
"Then now she will take Cui Zhen's position and take care of you for me!"
Liu Xunxuan's eyes widened in disbelief and stared at Chu Yao beside him. I thought that this is a pit! Such a long foreshadowing ahead! Chu Yao is really the emperor's material! Thinking that it would be difficult to fight his face in front of such people, after thinking about it, he had to answer coldly: "The concubine is arranged by the emperor." ”
Chu Yao looked at her with deep eyes, seemed to know what she was thinking, smiled slightly for a while, and then turned his eyes away to talk to Chu Yao, "There are too many things that have happened during this time, Chu Yao, you sort things out."
"Then let's find an opportunity to visit the Prime Minister's Mansion at night. Let him know what we do. “
