Chapter 282: See Empress Dowager Zheng
(Three more!) )
It wasn't until Zhu Xuanzhi got off the carriage and climbed the mountain road for more than an hour that he finally saw the words "Dingyuan Temple" in front of a towering mountain gate hall.
At this glance, he looked at Shen Du in puzzlement, and asked in a low voice, "Teacher, why did you bring students here?" ”
Dingyuan Temple is famous, of course he has heard of it. But...... He also thought that Shen Du would take him out of the palace to observe the people's situation or something, even if Dingyuan Temple is famous, but it is still a temple, it is nothing more than the Daxiong Treasure Hall and the Tianwang Palace, what can you do here?
Is Ah Yi here? She's coming to incense?
"Of course, you come to the temple to worship the Buddha and offer incense, what else can you do? Miss Ayi is also inside, let's go inside. Shen Du replied, and walked in with Zhu Xuanzhi.
Zhu Xuanzhi behind him was still confused, with his understanding of Shen Du, he would never come to Dingyuan Temple here for nothing, and bring him with him to worship the Buddha and incense? It's kind of weird.
But after passing through the Mountain Gate Palace, when Zhu Xuanzhi saw a few people in front of him, he immediately understood why Shen Du came here. The older girl in front of her is not the teacher's Gu girl? It seems that it is also the occasion when the teacher can see Miss Gu openly, it seems that only the temple is needed.
I think back then, the teacher had to follow me to Gu's house to see Miss Gu, alas. Zhu Xuanzhi thought to himself when he was young and old, thinking that he had seen through Shen Du's purpose of bringing him here.
"Teacher, it turns out that you came here to see Miss Gu." Zhu Xuanzhi said with a smile, and without waiting for Shen Du to answer, he walked towards Gu Yan.
He saw the little girl beside Gu Yan. Isn't that Ah Yi? The teacher is right, he really doesn't have to write a letter, he can tell Ah Yi in person how delicious the pork belly cake is.
As soon as he approached, Gu Yan and Fan Yi shook their bodies at him and saluted, "I've seen His Royal Highness the Nine." Although Zhu Xuanzhi is young, his identity is here, even if they usually have a lot of interactions, here in Dingyuan Temple, of course they will not lose their manners.
"Ahem. Excuse me. Miss Gu. Ah Yi, you are here too. Zhu Xuanzhi couldn't hold the shelf and asked.
Fan Yi bent her eyes and replied, "Yes, Sister Yan asked me to come to Dingyuan Temple to offer incense." Your Highness, why are you here? I thought you were carrying books in the palace. ”
On occasions where there is no grandmother Ji. Fan Yi is much more lively. These days, she and Zhu Xuanzhi often exchanged letters. The two are already very familiar with each other, and when they meet, they blurt out, and they are only called "you" and "me".
"Uh-uh. Oh, yes. I don't have to move books now. I'd like to write to you to come, old ...... Lord Shen is just going out, so I'll come out to look for you by the way. Zhu Xuanzhi said innocently, remembering what should be said and what not to say.
"Oh, that's such a coincidence, let's go together......" Fan Yi said with a smile. She was also about to be bored in the Fan family, but fortunately, Gu Yan brought her to Dingyuan Temple, she was only excited now, and it would be difficult to think of it for a while.
"Okay, okay, we're together. I just don't know what's interesting in Dingyuan Temple......" Zhu Xuanzhi immediately answered, approached and Fan Yi began to mutter.
……
……
Gu Yan saw that these two children were so honest and innocent, and there was a smile on his face. In fact, it seems that she is not a few years older than them, but after a lifetime, looking at these two people is like looking at juniors.
Thinking of the relationship between these two children in his previous life, Gu Yan couldn't help but smile, it's really interesting, isn't it?
"Did they just say anything interesting? Let me hear about it? Shen Du approached Gu Yan and asked deliberately curiously, looking at Gu Yan with burning eyes.
Gu Yan didn't say anything until he got closer, and then he asked quietly, "Ji Zhi, will you take His Royal Highness Nine and Ah Yi to meet that person now?" ”
She will appear here with Fan Yi, of course, it is not a coincidence, but the result of Shen Du's arrangement. A few days earlier in Tongyin Xuan, Shen Du asked her to come to Dingyuan Temple, and said that His Royal Highness the Ninth would also come, so she invited Fan Yi to go with her.
As for the reason why Fan Yi came here, Shen Du also said that it was because someone wanted to see His Royal Highness the Nine, and by the way, he saw Fan Yi, who had a close relationship with His Royal Highness the Nine.
Someone, who this person is, of course Gu Yan also knows. Not long ago, she also worshiped this big Buddha, and then rejected the family affairs of the Chengguo Mansion.
"Let's go, let's take them to the meditation hall." Shen Du said, then called Zhu Xuanzhi and Fan Yi over and led them to the meditation hall.
"Sister Yan, where are we going now?" Fan Yi gently tugged at Gu Yan's sleeve and asked in a low voice. His Royal Highness the Ninth appeared, and Lord Shen also appeared, and she always felt that something was wrong. But thinking that her grandmother said that she could ask Gu Yan for anything, she asked.
"We went to meet an old man. She's very kind, you're fine as usual, it's fine. Gu Yan comforted Fan Yi like this.
She was very calm in her heart, she had seen Empress Dowager Zheng in her previous life, and knew that she would not embarrass her juniors, so she said so.
When he went to the meditation hall and saw the Empress Dowager Zheng, Gu Yan's heart became even calmer. Empress Dowager Zheng is still the same as she remembers, with white hair and a cold attitude, but her face is younger.
Salute respectfully, sit quietly, and then wait for Empress Dowager Zheng's question, here and now, she only needs to listen carefully, and does not need to say anything.
Next, the main thing is that Empress Dowager Zheng is asking Zhu Xuanzhi, asking him how he is in the palace, what the master has taught, what he usually does, and so on.
Zhu Xuanzhi already knew that this was his imperial grandmother, so he replied respectfully. It's just that he still has too many doubts in his heart, and he can't help but glance at Shen Du.
What does it mean that the teacher brought him to the imperial grandmother?
At this time, Empress Dowager Zheng spoke: "Both of them are good children, yes, really good, I like it very much." Ah Xiu, give them my greeting gift. ”
An old woman beside her, who was also wearing lay clothes, stood up, took out two brocade boxes, and handed them to Zhu Xuanzhi and Fan Yi with a smile.
Zhu Xuan was puzzled, and Fan Yi was even more puzzled. She forcibly suppressed the doubts in her heart, thanked her respectfully, and then took the brocade box. What's going on here? came to this meditation hall inexplicably, and inexplicably accepted the gift of the Empress Dowager Zheng, she was almost confused.
But there are people who are very clear, that is how to speak from beginning to end. It's just that he didn't say anything. Until a few of them left Dingyuan Temple, he still didn't say anything.
After sending Gu Yan and Fan Yi to the door of Gu's house, Shen Du took Zhu Xuanzhi straight back to the palace, and did not take him to the streets and alleys as before. It seems that he took Zhu Xuanzhi out of the palace this time to go to Dingyuan Temple to see the Empress Dowager Zheng.
Zhu Xuanzhi was full of doubts, but when he saw that Shen Du didn't want to say more, he didn't dare to ask anything more. That's it, he doesn't want to ask, anyway, the teacher won't hurt him.
In front of the prince, Shen Du summoned Zhu Xuanzhi, who was about to enter, straightened the golden crown on his head, and said in an unusually gentle tone: "Your Highness, the brocade box in your hand must be put away." ”
The contents of this brocade box are not simple.
