After Ling Shandao entered the palace, Ling Yi returned to the Lan Pavilion to read his book.

Weaving Feather Weaving Fan chatted with her, and as she spoke, the topic turned to tomorrow's birthday banquet.

"Miss, there is something I don't understand." What is there to ask about the weaving fan, if you don't understand the things in your heart, it will be uncomfortable and tight.

"It's just you." Ori Yu gave a strange look.

Weaving Fan smiled, "The maid thinks that the Chengguan Master is obviously a monk, but the eldest lady wants the master to pour him a few glasses of wine, this-"

When she said this, Zhi Yu also reacted, yes, Master Chengguan is a monk, how can he drink?

The two of them looked at Ling Yi in unison, waiting for an answer.

Ling Yi put down the book, "I'm also strange, I only knew the reason after listening to others, how you can't think of it." ”

"Miss, don't sell it, tell us quickly." Weaving Fan said anxiously, "Is it the eldest young master of the palace family?" Didn't you send someone to deliver the letter yesterday, after the eldest lady read the letter, the corners of her mouth are still raised, what is written on the letter. ”

Ling Yi smiled slightly, that news was indeed told to her by Gong Xiru, and it did solve her problem.

*

Tianzhu Pavilion is the most famous temple in Quyang, but it is only open to the relatives of the emperor, and if ordinary people are incense and pray for blessings, they mostly go to Bailan Temple.

Master Chengguan is the highest-ranking abbot of Tianzhu Pavilion, and his reputation is also quite high, but he also has a title - National Teacher.

Before going to Tianzhu Pavilion, Ling Chang was very puzzled, the same as weaving a fan.

The eldest lady asked the master to pour a few glasses of wine for Master Chengguan, which didn't make sense at all. The latter is a monk, which is almost impossible.

"Master, Tianzhu Pavilion is an important place for Buddhism. Can we really bring this wine in? Ling Chang was a little worried.

Ling Shandao's brows furrowed slightly, in fact, he couldn't say for sure.

Ling Yi repeatedly stressed that he should bring the wine into the Tianzhu Pavilion and let Master Chengguan have a few drinks, but how could this matter be so easy to say.

How to make a monk drink, he can't figure it out even if he wants to. But tomorrow the Bayin Kingdom will enter the palace to play Chinese music, and the situation is imminent, and he can only be a dead horse and a live horse doctor. One step at a time.

After meeting Master Chengguan, Ling Shandao was very polite: "I have seen the national teacher. ”

Master Chengguan smiled in return: "Lord Ling came to find Lao Gu today, presumably for the emperor's birthday tomorrow." ”

Ling Shandao put down the anxiety in his heart and said with a smile: "Exactly." ”

The two went to the living room.

Ling Chang nervously followed behind with the basket. I saw a novice walking by. quickly got out of the way, for fear that the other party was here to beg for money for incense, and even more afraid of being seen out of the wine in the basket.

Entering the living room, Ling Shandao first exchanged a few words of greeting before gradually getting to the point.

"On the occasion of tomorrow's birthday, the first section of the Chinese music will be played by the Eight Music Congress, and the time will be half an hour, and it will still be outside. So I specially asked the national teacher, will there be a thunderstorm tomorrow? ”

Cheng looked at his head to show understanding: "I can't see it yet." I can't know until I watch the celestial phenomena tonight, and if it rains tomorrow, I'm afraid I will have to ask the emperor to play indoors. ”

"That's exactly what I meant." Ling Shandao said.

He was looking for something to ask a superfluous word, but after asking this sentence, he didn't know what to ask for a while, so he could only drink tea with an embarrassed smile, but he didn't think about how to let Chengguan drink.

"Lord Ling, is there anything else?" Seeing that he did not speak or move, Master Chengguan asked.

Ling Shandao coughed lightly twice and sighed: "It's nothing, I just want to sit here more, and the Master of Chengguan is far away from the world, how do you know the troubles of worldly people like us." ”

When Master Chengguan heard him say this, he naturally thought of the latter's housework, and looking at Ling Shandao's expression, he should be annoyed by the trivial matters in the house, so he smiled and said: "It is difficult for a Qing official to decide the housework, and Lord Ling doesn't need to worry too much, the matter will always pass." ”

Ling Shandao smiled reluctantly, and then said, "Master Chengguan doesn't mind if I sit a little longer." ”

"Whatever Lord Ling said, you can sit for as long as you want, but please forgive me for not being able to accompany you, and you have to prepare for tomorrow's heavenly sacrifice ceremony."

"This is natural, don't dare to bother the national teacher, you are busy, I will sit down for a while and go back by myself." Ling Shandao gave up.

Cheng Guan returned the salute and left directly.

Ling Chang's hand carrying the basket finally relaxed, but he immediately became anxious again: "Master, this method won't work, persuade the national teacher to drink, this--it's too ridiculous." ”

How could Ling Shandao not panic in his heart, but he was helpless, and he didn't know what Ling Yi's purpose was.

"What now?" Ling Chang asked.

Ling Shandao thought about it again and again, and his mind became more and more chaotic.

"That's not the way, go back first, there's really no way, you can only report it truthfully, it's better than the crime of bullying the king." Ling Shandao got up.

Ling Chang also felt that he could only do this, and walked two steps with the basket, and suddenly remembered what Zhi Yu had told him, and said, "Master, this wine - why don't you stay here?" ”

Ling Shandao didn't think about it, and was a little helpless: "Just let it go, don't worry about it, go back first, I can't say that I have to go to the palace again." ”

Ling Chang hurriedly put down the basket and followed Ling Shandao out of Tianzhu Pavilion.

What the two of them didn't expect was that after they left, Master Chengguan went back and forth, walked around the living room, and finally looked at the basket on the table, and smiled on his face.

Back at Ling's Mansion, Ling Shandao wanted to enter the palace again, but Ling Wen sent a letter to him, saying that the inkstone had been shipped back, and the best inkstone had been divided into batches and sent to the palace tomorrow.

This matter was not sloppy, Ling Shandao had to dispel the idea of entering the palace first, and went to the ink to see the quality of the inkstone, and there was no problem before letting people pack it.

learned from Ling Chang that Huajiu was finally left in Tianzhu Pavilion, and Ling Yi was afraid that Ling Shandao would enter the palace again, so he personally went to Moguan to find the latter.

At that time, Ling Shandao had just watched all the inkstones being installed, and when he heard that Ling Yi was looking for him, he thought about telling her about Tianzhu Pavilion.

Ling Yi took a step ahead of him and dispelled his thoughts: "Father, Ling Chang has already left the wine in Tianzhu Pavilion, everything is in my plan. Father doesn't have to enter the palace again, and wait until the evening, when the emperor will naturally summon you to the palace. ”

Ling Shandao couldn't figure out what she was thinking. Very worried: "When the real emperor will summon me into the palace today?" ”

Ling Yi nodded affirmatively, "Father, don't worry, you can just take care of these inkstones with peace of mind." ”

Ling Shandao was skeptical, but at the moment he really had nothing to do, so he could only go back and wait first as Ling Yi said.

Before leaving Moguan, Ling Yi found Ling Wen. "Tomorrow you will be responsible for sending the inkstone into the palace, I hope that before leaving, you will send someone to inform me."

Ling Wen remembered what Ling Yi said that day. The fox said suspiciously: "Is this what the eldest lady wants me to cooperate?" ”

"Exactly, this is not a difficult thing for Wen Zhangshi." Ling Yi said with a smile.

Ling Wen became more and more puzzled, if it was just a notice. It's not that hard. But Ling Yi attached so much importance to it, which made him wonder if there was anything else in between.

"Don't think too much about it, you just need to know that everything I do is for the sake of Ling Mansion, and in addition, I also need you to bring someone with me."

Ling Wen didn't think about it, "Eldest Miss means Fu Zixin?" ”

"Yes. You take him with you and give him half a day off today. Ling Yi saw that Fu Zixin was helping to move the inkstone. Beckoned to him.

Fu Zixin hurriedly ran over.

The more doubts in Ling Wen's heart became, he said with a smile: "The eldest lady only asked me to cooperate with you for one thing, and now there are a few." ”

"I do only ask you to cooperate with one thing, and the other two things are requirements." Although Ling Yi's face was pale, he had unquestionable majesty.

Ling Wen's eyes lit up, "Since it was the eldest lady who asked for it personally, I naturally didn't disobey." ”

After the two finished speaking, Fu Zixin saluted and said, "The little one has seen the eldest lady, what does the eldest lady command?" ”

"Give you half a day off today, you go with me, and tomorrow you will enter the palace with the head of the text."

Fu Zixin's eyes widened, entering the palace? The most prosperous place he has ever entered is Moguan, a place like the Imperial Palace, which he can't even think of.

Ling Yi was amused by his appearance, and said with a smile: "It's not that you are allowed to enter the palace to do anything big, it's just that you are asked to send the inkstone with them, as for seeing the emperor and those nobles in the harem, don't even think about it." ”

Fu Zixin scratched her head in embarrassment, "The little one knows, thanks to the blessing of the eldest lady, the little one finally has the opportunity to meet the palace wall." ”

gave Ling Wen leave, and Fu Zixin followed Ling Yi to the slums.

In the evening, when the sky was getting dark, Master Chengguan habitually stood on a high platform and looked up at the sky.

The evening breeze was blowing coolly, and his somewhat dizzy brain was cleared up a little.

The boy set up the incense candle and quietly retreated.

The Chengguan mage stared at the sky intently, in the dark night, there were not many stars, and it looked a little gloomy, and he secretly said that there might be light rain tonight.

Just as he was fascinated by it, the sky suddenly glanced at an unusually red cloud of fire.

Master Chengguan was stunned for a moment, and then his heart was shocked, and he stared at the fire cloud with wide eyes, which was getting bigger and bigger, getting closer and closer, and finally it was overwhelming.

The fire cloud came too suddenly, and the blood red was eerie, making people feel uneasy and panicked.

Master Chengguan was so shocked that he almost couldn't stand up, staggered and fell off the high platform, shouting that he wanted to enter the palace.

Knowing what was going on, the little boy helped Master Chengguan up and asked, "Abbot, what's wrong?" ”

"Quick, prepare the carriage, enter the palace, enter the palace." Master Chengguan was incoherent, running and looking back, looking very frightened.

The little boy looked at the dark sky and muttered puzzled, only then did he follow Master Guan, "Abbot, slow down, the carriage is at the back door." ”

Master Chengguan stopped abruptly and hurried to the back door.

Lu Xiaotian had been waiting outside the Tianzhu Pavilion, and saw Master Chengguan sitting in a carriage in the direction of entering the palace, before returning to the Lan Pavilion to report to Ling Yi.

"People have already entered the palace, and it should not take half an hour to send someone to deliver the decree."

This was expected, Ling Yi was not much surprised, but said another thing with a mocking tone.

"Grandmother still came to me today, and when she enters the palace tomorrow, she will see if she can find a good family for you."

Lu Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, "The old lady really plans to find me a daughter-in-law?" ”

"But no, the emperor's birthday, officials big and small, as long as they are on errands in the capital, they all have to enter the palace, and my grandmother will ask a few people at will, and she can ask some results."

Lu Xiaotian was completely anxious, looked at Zhi Yu, but said to Ling Yi: "Miss, the old lady, let her slow down first, I'm not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry." ”

"That's not up to me." Ling Yi was amused, and that tone was a little gloating no matter how it sounded. (To be continued......)
