In the early morning of the second day, when Xibao was rolling in the quilt and sleeping soundly, Qi You had already gone around the temple and came back from exercising, and when he entered the door, he asked, "Wenqin, where is your master?" ”

Wen Qin was a little embarrassed and said: "Lord Wang, our master was tired from climbing the mountain yesterday, and he will still be asleep, do you want the slave to go and tell the master to get up." ”

Qi You thought in his heart: He was a little tired when he climbed up in a fit of anger yesterday, not to mention the little girl Xibao, it is estimated that her legs and feet are a little swollen, this stupid girl has to hold on to her own temperament in order not to sweep her own temperament, it is really distressing, but if you sleep again this time, you may not be able to pray in time for the early morning, so Qi You ordered: "Go and tell your master to get up, the morning prayer will be carried out in half an hour, don't let her miss it." ”

Wen Qin commanded: "Then the prince will wait first, and the slave will go and call the master to get up." ”

Qi You said: "You go, this king is waiting for her here." ”

Wen Qin hurriedly entered the inner room and shouted softly: "Master, it's time to get up, the prince is waiting for you outside." ”

Xibao was indeed very tired and squinted his eyes and asked, "When is it?"

Wen Qin looked at the sky and said, "It should be the hour." ”

Xi Baolai said on the bed: "It's just now, it's still early." ”

Wen Qin smiled helplessly: "Master, it's not early, the prince has come back from exercising, and this son is waiting for you outside." ”

Xibao, who was still lazy, heard the news that Qi You was already waiting outside, and immediately sat up and asked, "What, the prince is here." ”

Wen Qin said with a smile: "Yes, the prince said that it will be the time to pray for blessings in the morning, and he is afraid that you will miss it, so he will come to wait for you." ”

Xibao said sweetly in his heart: "Then you hurry up and bring my clothes, quickly freshen up and go to see the prince, you can't let him wait for a long time." ”

Wen Qin replied with a smile: "Okay, slave maid try to be as fast as possible." ”

After a while, Xibao washed and dressed up with the help of Wenqin, the same is a simple bun pinned with a white jade dripping hairpin, the magnolia-colored pleated skirt tied with a pale pink waist seal is really as fresh and elegant as a camellia in the mountains, Xibao saw Qi You and smiled: "Master, you got up really early." ”

Qi You smiled: "Yes, who seems to be so lazy like you, the princess and the princess are also up." ”

Xibao stuck out his tongue and said embarrassedly: "Isn't it that I was tired of climbing the mountain yesterday." ”

Qi You smiled: "Just you're tired, the master also carried you for a while, hurry up and use some snacks and then go to pray for blessings and worship with the master, and then go back." ”

Xibao was a little stunned and said: "Why is it so fast, didn't you say that you won't go back until the afternoon, and the concubine also promised to talk to Princess Shen for a while." ”

"Have you seen Princess Shen?" Qi You was a little strange.

"That's right, I saw it when the concubine was walking in the yard last night, it seems that Princess Shen's sister is not very well, we talked for a while and she went back, and discussed going back today." Xibao said.

"You're very close to Princess Shen?" Qi You said with a smile.

"Yes, the concubine also felt that she felt very close to her after seeing it from the Hengwang Mansion that day, but she never had the opportunity to disturb her when she was a concubine, and she happened to meet it in this temple today, but unfortunately this is going to leave again." Xibao said regretfully.

"If you two fall in love, you can invite her to the house in the future or you visit her house, there will be a chance in the future, today is the house has some things to rush back to deal with, so I am in a hurry." Qi You said.

Xibao had no choice but to nod and said, "Okay, let's explain to Sister Murong when I have a chance in the future, didn't you say that you were going to pray for blessings, let's go quickly." ”

Qi You smiled and rushed to the hall with Xibao, today the master happened to pray in the main hall, the princess they had already arrived, everyone knelt in the hall in an orderly manner and listened to the monks drinking the scriptures, and then everyone knelt in front of the Buddha one by one and bowed sincerely and made a wish, Xibao is the same, when it was her turn, she also bowed to the master with appropriate hands, and then knelt in front of the Buddha statue and made a wish sincerely, and then bowed carefully, got up and bowed to the master, and was about to leave, when the master said: "The female donor stays for the time being." ”

Xibao was stunned for a moment and obediently stayed where he was and said, "What does the master command?" ”

Master Likong said with a smile: "Don't panic the female benefactor, it's just that the poor monk and the donor have a fate to say a few more words." ”

Xibao said respectfully: "Master, please speak." ”

Likong smiled slightly and said: "The female benefactor is a noble person in her life, but it is good to cherish the talent in front of her." ”

Xibao was a little puzzled: "Master, what do you mean by this?" ”

said with an empty smile: "The poor monk can only say this, and the matter of fate still has to be experienced by the donor, Amitabha!" ”

Xibao was a little empty-hearted, but he couldn't ask any more, so he had to reply respectfully: "Master Xie, Amitabha." ”

In the empty eyes full of deep meaning but clear as water, Xibao got up and left, seeing Xibao come out with a puzzled look, Qi You asked, "What's the matter, what did the master say?" ”

Xibao looked up and said, "There is no master who said that concubines have a relationship with the Buddha, and they should always be close to the Dharma." ”

Qi You smiled: "That's a good thing, I will always bring you here in the future." ”

Half an hour later, Qi You instructed the princess to prepare to leave for home, and Master Likong said as if he knew something: "The prince is in a hurry, and the poor monks don't have a chance to have a good chat with the prince, and I don't know when I will be able to see it." ”

Qi You smiled: "Master rest assured, Xiao Wang will come often." ”

Likong smiled: "Don't come, the poor monk will travel all over the world in a few days, I don't know when I will be able to come back, the prince has a Buddha in his heart, so he won't use it." ”

Qi You asked, "Which way is the master going this time?" ”

He smiled and said, "South." ”

Qi You bowed deeply and said, "Please also pay attention to the safety of the master, return as soon as possible, and I will reunite with the master." ”

Empty palms: "Amitabha, follow the fate, the prince is easy to go, and the poor monk will not be far away." ”

Qi You said: "Master stay, Xiao Wang and his family have left." After saying that, Qi You took the princess out of the temple gate, because Qi You and the women of the palace were in a hurry to go down the mountain in a soft sedan chair, it was indeed much faster than climbing up on foot, it took nearly three hours to go up the mountain, and it took more than an hour to go down the mountain, and when the people of Yongwangfu went down to the inn at the foot of the mountain, the carriage of the palace was ready, and there was almost no stop, everyone got on the carriage and continued to set off, and the carriage went back much faster than when it came, Even Xibao, a lazy little girl, was so bumped that she couldn't lean on the soft couch properly, Qi You saw that she was lying uncomfortable, so he stopped her in his arms and said: "Don't move, this mountain road is a little bumpy, just lean on your grandfather's arms." ”

Xibao obediently leaned on Qi You's arms and hugged his waist, which was indeed a lot more stable, so he leaned all the way back to the palace in Qi You's arms, everyone got off the carriage in the outer courtyard and found that the atmosphere was not right, and the outer courtyard with only a pair of guards on weekdays was full of guards as if they were waiting for him, and the princess was a little uneasy and said: "Lord, is there something going on in the palace when you rush back in such a hurry?" ”

Qi You said: "The princess is very smart, but this shouldn't be a good place to talk." ”

The princess reacted and arranged: "Sisters, the prince and the palace still have important matters to discuss, everyone is a little tired after the bumps in the past two days, let's go down and rest first, by the way, grandma, you can also take the children down first, if there is no palace, just stay in the house." ”

Xibao was about to retire with a group of women, and Qi You spoke: "Yuntian, you stay, and the rest of the people will go back to the courtyard, let's go." ”

In everyone's puzzled and inquiring eyes, the princess followed Qi You and Xibao back to the Wuyu Courtyard, which had just arrived at the courtyard gate The princess was really startled, the courtyard inside and outside the Wufu Courtyard was surrounded by layers, the princess understood that this must be a big incident, she entered the courtyard door with anxiety and found that the courtyard was extremely quiet, so quiet that it made people hairy, she looked around for a week and found nothing unusual except for the silence, and was about to ask Qi You when she spoke: "Princess, do you know why this king wants to fence your courtyard?" ”

Princess Liu couldn't guess why, so she shook her head and said, "The concubine doesn't know." ”

Qi You smiled: "What a concubine doesn't know, you are the princess of this king in charge of the entire Yongwang Mansion, and there are other things you don't know?" ”

Liu Shi was a little frightened and said: "Lord, although the concubine is in charge of the entire palace, there will be times when there are omissions. The princess intuitively felt that this matter must be related to her management, so she made a foreshadowing first.

Qi You almost sneered: "Princess, are you sure that it was an omission and not a deliberate one?" ”

The more the princess listened, the more panicked she became, but she still pretended to be calm and said: "Lord, if there is anything dissatisfied, please tell the prince directly." ”

"Okay, then the king is going to ask the princess well, bring someone up." Qi You took Xibao to sit on the chair that had been prepared, patted the chair next to him and said, "The princess should sit down and talk." ”

Liu's scalp was already numb at this time, she rarely heard Qi You's such a yin and yang strange question, just now she looked cold, and now she smiled and called her to sit down, although she was very frightened, but she still couldn't lose her identity, she tidied up her clothes and sat down.

After a while, the guards dragged two people in, and the guards on the side replied, "Lord Wang, the people have been brought." ”

"yes, okay." Then he continued to ask, "Did the princess ever feel familiar?" ”

The princess looked at the person lying on the ground in a trance, this dress should be the person in her courtyard, but the two of them have been lying there and can't see their faces clearly, and the princess doesn't dare to assert that she can only say: "Back to the prince, the concubine can't see clearly and can't be sure." ”

Qi You took the tea and took a sip and said, "Raise the heads of the two of them to show the princess." ”

The guards lifted the heads of the two people lying on the ground to face Liu, and Liu almost wanted to shout at this time, Xibao looked sideways and found that Liu's face turned white almost instantly, and it seemed that she must know the origin of the two.

Qi You put down the teacup and continued to ask, "Can the princess see clearly?" ”

Liu Shi took a deep breath and said, "I can see clearly." ”

"Then can the princess sue the king of this two?" Qi You looked at Liu Shidao.

Liu avoided Qi You's eyes a little and said: "Back to the prince's words, these two people are slaves in the courtyard of the concubine's body, but they are both rough slaves, and the concubine's body is only familiar but can't be named, and the specific name still has to be asked to the grandmother in charge of the courtyard." ”

Qi You nodded and said, "Okay, then ask Mama Liu from the princess's courtyard to come and identify you." ”

After a while, the guards came in with Mama Liu, Mama Liu knelt on the ground and asked Qi You and the princess to say goodbye, Qi You said, "Mama Liu, are all the people in the princess's courtyard managed by you?" ”

Mama Liu glanced at the princess and said, "Yes, it is the unified management of the old slave." ”

"Then, do you recognize all the minions in the Wulu Courtyard?" Qi You asked again.

Mama Liu hesitated for a moment and replied: "Yes, as long as it is the slave of the Wuyuan Courtyard, the old slave will recognize it." ”

"Okay, can you help this king see who these two people are?" Qi You asked the guards to take Mama Liu to the two people to identify.
