------Off topic------
Xie Fanghua remembered that on Chinese New Year's Eve, he came to the Dharma Buddha Temple to snatch the Heart Sutra, and wrote his name in the palm of the old monk's hand at that time. Since he knew her secret and kept it from her, no matter what his intentions were, he naturally didn't have to pay attention to it. So, she slowly walked to the seat next to Master Puyun and sat down.
"Just listen to Master Puyun." Prince Ying patted her hands and said in a low voice, "Master Puyun is famous all over the world, not only because of his profound Buddhism, but also because of his wise fortunes. He will let you sit beside him, and he will have a purpose. ”
Xie Fanghua frowned, even if she prayed for blessings and listened to Buddhist scriptures, it was necessary for her to be by Puyun's side?
Princess Ying nodded very reverently, let go of Xie Fanghua's hand, and said softly to her, "Hua girl, go over!" ”
"Princess, please sit down, since you are here to pray for Miss Fanghua, Miss Fanghua will sit next to the old man!" When Master Puyun saw a group of people coming in, he opened his eyes with his eyes closed, glanced at a few people, and said in an old voice.
Just as the little novice said, Concubine Lin, the old lady in the sixth room of the Xie family, Qin Tian, Xie Yi, and the monks of the Dharma Buddha Temple were all sitting cross-legged. The first one sat Master Puyun, who had a seat left beside him. The second seat is the presiding officer of the Dharma Buddha Temple and the elder Yiying. Concubine Lin and the female dependents of the Xie family were all sitting in the middle surrounded by monks. Futons were placed on the ground, and there were several places left in them. It was left for Prince Ying and Princess Ying.
Prince Ying nodded, and led Xie Fanghua into the courtyard gate of the Dharma Hall.
There was a small novice waiting at the door of the Dharma Hall, and when he saw the group coming, he hurriedly folded his hands, made a Buddhist gesture, and said loudly, "The inside has been prepared, and the master Puyun and the presiding master of the Shu Temple and the elders have already sat down." Concubine Lin and the ladies of the Xie family's sixth room have already arrived for a while. Now that the time is right, the princess and Mrs. Li are invited in! ”
Prince Ying kept holding Xie Fanghua's hand, and at the same time gossiping with Mrs. Youxiang, and after a while, she came to the Dharma Hall.
The people from the two sides were in one place, and the group walked slowly towards the Dharma Hall.
Li Muqing smiled and stopped talking.
Mrs. Right Xiang nodded when she heard this, glanced at Xie Fanghua, and said with a smile, "Then you can go with you!" ”
"Oh, this filial piety is really commendable!" Prince Ying and Princess Ying immediately praised and said to Mrs. Youxiang, "The child is filial, okay, let him go!" We are a group of children and dependents, if there is anything, it is really inconvenient. Let him follow. The words fell, and he said, "That stinky boy in my family is indeed that dead virtue, if you quarrel with him, his face will be turned over in my face." Didn't Qin Tian's hairy boy also follow the concubine to the Dharma Hall? The two of them are in the same place, and they also have a companion. ”
Li Muqing's eyes moved, and he said with a smile, "He hasn't collapsed yet, if I go to quarrel with him, he may turn his face against me." His temperament doesn't care about our friendships. After the words fell, he added, "It's not that I don't like to listen to Buddhist scriptures." Although the Dharma Buddha Temple does not have people waiting for you, you also need someone to take care of you. It was inconvenient for the guards to show up to accompany them. My son will be with you! ”
"Go and play with the second son of Zheng! Didn't you always play in one place before? Now that this year is busy, I see that you have less time together. Mrs. Right said.
Li Muqing laughed when he heard this, and said helplessly, "Mother, I'm not a child, where can I play?" ”
"They don't like us doing these things. The temperament of the second son of Zheng has always been unrestrained, and it is already difficult for him to come with him to pray for blessings. Not to mention asking him to listen to Buddhist scriptures. Mrs. Right Xiang glanced at her side as she spoke, smiled and waved her hand, "Qing'er, you don't like such things, your mother knows, don't follow it, go play elsewhere!" ”
"That stinky boy! Still asleep! How can you count on him? Prince Ying waved her hand.
"Just give me some advice, I've always come to this monastery for so many years. So I knew some of the doorways in this. Mrs. Right Xiang suddenly smiled, glanced behind the group, and asked, "What about the second son of Zheng?" Didn't come with you? ”
Xie Fanghua nodded, "Thank you, Madame, for your advice." ”
"On the first day, Master Puyun wants to bathe you in the Buddha's light and wash away the filthy qi, so naturally it will be harder. If after tomorrow, your body is difficult, then you can also come for half a day and rest for half a day. Mrs. Right said with a smile.
Xie Fanghua nodded, and said weakly through the veil, "My body is fine, since I came here, I have worked hard for the princess to pray for blessings." I'm going to have to fight for it myself. ”
"Miss Fanghua also came to pray for blessings today, but her body is a little cooler?" Mrs. Right Xiang looked at Xie Fanghua and asked with a smile.
"Don't choke me enough in the palace all these years, but now that I come out, the air in this mountain temple is clear, the night is quiet, and I am naturally used to sleeping!" Prince Ying's Mansion also greeted with a smile.
"I was too tired yesterday, I woke up late today, I thought I was the last to arrive at Motang, but I didn't expect to meet you here." Mrs. Right Xiang greeted with a smile, "The princess has never set foot in the temple for so many years, and she has come back here at a glance, and she is used to sleeping yesterday?" ”
Xie Fanghua stood beside Prince Ying and Princess Ying, did not look at Li Muqing, through the veil, did not speak, and did not greet Mrs. Youxiang.
Li Muqing smiled, straightened up, and swept towards Xie Fanghua with a glint in his eyes.
Princess Ying smiled and waved her hand at Li Muqing, "Get up!" Where are there so many courtesies! This kid is more sensible than my stinky boy. ”
Li Muqing smiled and bowed to the Prince and Princess Ying.
Xie Fanghua was looking at the room, and the two parties had already met.
Compared with these ladies of the Gaomen Mansion, there are too few housewives like Prince Ying who never move their hands in the backyard.
And the Qing noble families such as the Imperial History and the Hanlin Academy, although they have two concubines, but because their official positions are there. This kind of noble family, the most afraid is to make the backyard unclean. Therefore, if the housewife is not powerful, the backyard concubine has the means. Then, it's not surprising that there are concubines.
In addition to the three sons under Mrs. Min, the Xie family's long house also has no heirs.
Yongkang Hou Mansion only has one sister-in-law in Yanting, and the same is true.
In the courtyards of many Gaomen mansions in the capital of Southern Qin, such things are commonplace. The wife must keep the position, and the concubine must compete for favor. Children are a woman's dependence. If Mrs. Right Prime Minister is not ruthless, then the backyard of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion will not be only an only son, but a magnificent one.
The husband is the sky, the wife is the earth, and the concubine is cheap.
In this imperial society where men are the heavens, it cannot be said that she did something wrong, she did what most women do.
Xie Fanghua glanced at Mrs. Youxiang and Li Muqing, and Mrs. Youxiang she had met more than once, but her understanding of her was limited to what Li Muqing said to her on Chinese New Year's Eve. For the sake of her own status and the status of her children, Mrs. Right Prime Minister's hands were stained with the blood of many innocent babies in the backyard of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.
Today's Li Muqing is wearing a plain robe, and he walks from afar like a breeze in this mountain temple, full of gentleness.
Mrs. Right Prime Minister was supported by two maids, and Li Muqing walked beside her.
The courtyard of the back mountain is some distance from the temple of the front mountain. Prince Ying and Princess Ying obviously took care of Xie Fanghua's body, and while gossiping with her, she walked, not walking fast. When I was halfway through, I happened to meet Mrs. Right and Li Muqing and two maidservants who came from the fork in the west.
The group walked towards the Dharma Hall.
Xie Fanghua nodded, and was secretly relieved to see that she no longer asked.
Princess Ying looked at her carefully, after all, she was a person who had come over, seeing that she was wearing a veil, her complexion was faintly unnatural, she immediately smiled, and no longer asked, pulling her towards the Dharma Hall, "Let's go, Concubine Lin and the old lady of the sixth room of the Xie family are afraid that they have already arrived." ”
Xie Fanghua's face turned red when she heard this, how can it be regarded as a real bully? Did he kiss her yesterday count? But then again, she drugged herself and him, and now that she's up, he's the one lying on the bed and can't get up. In this way, who bullied whom? She coughed lowly and shook her head a little unnaturally, "No." ”
Princess Ying nodded with a smile, stepped forward, took her hand, and asked in a low voice, "That stinky boy didn't bully you yesterday, right?" ”
While the two were talking, Xie Fanghua came close and shouted, "Princess!" ”
Prince Ying nodded, "You have a point!" ”
"The second son is just a companion, you let him follow the Buddha wholeheartedly, he hates the Buddha very much, it is more difficult than killing him. If he doesn't get up, he won't get up! Don't be embarrassed for him. As long as Miss Fanghua is up, wouldn't it be fine? Chunlan said with a smile.
"Oh, don't you see this kid getting up?" Prince Ying said to Chunlan, "You're still worried that she won't be able to get up and collapse!" The words fell, and he added, "I think that stinky boy can't get up." I knew that I couldn't count on him for blessings. ”
The timing was just right.
When I went out of the door, I saw that Chunlan had already helped Prince Ying out of the room.
The two people helped her, the two followed behind, and the group left the East Cross Courtyard and went to the West Cross Courtyard where the Prince and Princess Ying lived.
"Let's go!" Xie Fanghua tilted his head and nodded to the four waiters.
"I heard you!" The two hurriedly replied in unison.
"Do you hear me?" Xie Fanghua saw that the two were silent, and asked again.
The two wondered, why didn't they remove the pillow from him?
Xie Fanghua glanced at the two of them and instructed them, "The second son is still asleep in the room now, you go in and take a look, if he wants to continue sleeping, let him continue to sleep." If he wants to eat, wait for him to eat. "But don't take the pillow off him." ”
When he came to the courtyard, he was looking at Lin Qi and hearing that he had gotten up and stood in the courtyard.
After a simple breakfast, the waiter took the veil, Xie Fanghua covered his head, and went out of the room.
Xie Fanghua came to the room at that time, and was served by the waiter, freshened up quickly, and after a short time, it was taken care of. Shi Mo brought the food, and she hurried to eat.
The waiter nodded.
"I'll go to your room and freshen up." Xie Fanghua instructed the waiter.
Seeing her come out, the waiter took a step back.
"I got up, he didn't." Xie Fanghua walked to the door, reached out and pulled out a hairpin from her head, and scratched hard where she had used the potion yesterday to glue it, and the glue was cracked in response, she reached out and pushed open the door and walked out.
"Miss, are you and the second son of Zheng both up? Do you need the slave to go in and wait for you two to wash up now? The waiter heard the movement in the inner room, and stood outside the door and asked softly.
In a short time, she was properly dressed.
After Xie Fanghua got out of bed, she found that she was standing on the ground wearing only her underwear when she pushed the quilt away, and she immediately looked at Qin Zheng, who happened to turn her head away. She frowned, thinking that he was still self-aware. So, he took his coat and began to put it on.
Qin Zheng looked at her, his eyes were slightly dyed with a different color, and he remembered that he had kissed her vigorously for a long time yesterday, and his heart suddenly fluttered. Knowing that it was impossible to do anything now, in order to avoid being uncomfortable, he didn't dare to provoke her again, so he turned his head away and stopped looking at her.
She didn't wear an outer garment yet, only an undergarment, and some curves were faintly revealed.
"Besides, I'm not kidding you!" Xie Fanghua turned his head, stepped over his lap, and jumped out of bed gently.
Qin Zheng choked.
Xie Fanghua took a pillow and put it on him, pressing him to the point that he didn't move. She raised her eyebrows and smiled softly, "Second Prince Zheng, you can lie down well!" I think even if you follow me now, it's a burden. You want to follow, I don't want to use it yet. ”
"How's that going to work? In this case, your fiancé's words are also joking, and you are not allowed to joke about this. Qin Zheng shook his head, ready to get up again.
Xie Fanghua couldn't help but laugh and waved his hand, "Okay, I'll just say, how can you follow me to pray for blessings like this?" Don't get up. I'll go myself! ”
"What do you do? Did you finally get up? Qin Zheng looked at Xie Fanghua dissatisfied.
Xie Fanghua actually didn't really want to drag him away to pray with her, because she clearly knew that it was difficult for him to even collapse like this, and it was impossible to pray for her blessing. It's just that she wants to toss him. But after looking at him for a while, and seeing that he was struggling hard, he stretched out a finger and tapped lightly on his chest, and he suddenly fell back into bed uncontrollably.
He was halfway up when a slight sweat appeared on his forehead.
"However, since you are my fiancée, my future wife is the woman I decided to marry. Well, no matter what basket you poke out, it's also my woman. I naturally have to protect my woman, even if it is the emperor, I can't bully you. Qin Zheng spoke, struggling to sit up.
Xie Fanghua's eyes flashed slightly.
Qin Zheng blinked, and immediately smiled, warmly, and said lazily, "You can use this identity to squeeze me with confidence, I'm afraid that you won't use this identity to squeeze." If I go to the emperor, it won't be to cancel the marriage contract, at most to resist what kind of basket you may poke out for me in the future by using this identity. ”
"You are my fiancé, I remember, don't worry, I will spare no effort to use this identity to squeeze you. Until you can't stand it anymore and run to the emperor to cancel the marriage contract. Xie Fanghua said viciously.
"Naturally." Qin Zheng looked at her.
Xie Fanghua turned his head, "You look like this now, can you get up?" ”
"You tell me again that you are my fiancée, so that I know that you have a complete understanding of the relationship between you and me. Even if I struggle, I will get up and accompany you every step of the way. Qin Zheng said.
Xie Fanghua glanced at him and didn't speak.
"Now that you have so solemnly confessed. Don't say anything that doesn't have anything to do with me in the future. Don't just talk about it. Qin Zheng looked at her seriously, "Xie Fanghua, you are my fiancée, and I am your fiancé." You remember. I've always remembered it. Got it? ”
Xie Fanghua snorted softly.
Qin Zheng smiled whimsily, "Are you admitting from your heart that I am your fiancé?" ”
Xie Fanghua looked at him, "I'm naturally not afraid, no one is afraid." But since you're my fiancé, you're here with me. Shouldn't you follow me, watch me, and take care of me? How can I pray for a blessing, and you sleep in your room? ”
Qin Zheng was pinched by her, opened his eyes, and glared at her, "You woman, what's the matter?" Aren't you looking at your eyes? Why do you want me to stay with you now? I don't believe that if I don't go, you won't be able to face their group of women and monks, what are you afraid of? ”
"No! You go with me! Xie Fanghua stretched out his hand to pinch him, "Hurry up!" ”
"Didn't I just call you?" Qin Zheng shook his head, "You didn't call me, since you can get up, you can go!" Let me sleep a little longer. ”
"If you can't get up, you have to afford it! The princess sent Aunt Lan to shout. Xie Fanghua looked at the green shadow under his eyes, thinking that he hadn't slept all night? If this is the case, she feels that she is even more relieved.
"You slept well for most of the night yesterday, but what about me? I didn't sleep all night. Qin Zheng glanced at her and closed his eyes again, "Besides, now that I'm sore, and the power of the medicine has obviously not passed, how can I get out of bed?" ”
"Get up!" Xie Fanghua looked at him, and with her superb medical skills, she naturally knew what was going on with Qin Zheng. He forcibly resisted the medicinal power two or three times yesterday, and the medicinal power backfired on him, swallowing some of his strength, although he swallowed less, but in the end it aggravated the medicinal properties, according to normal speaking, after taking the medicine, it can be solved in six hours. But after the solution, the person will have fatigue for a period of time, but he can't resist with his luck, and after six hours, the medicine still hasn't passed. Therefore, his inability to get up and collapse now is the most symptomatic symptom for him.
Qin Zheng opened his eyes with difficulty, his eyes were in a state of half-open and half-open, looking at her tiredly, weakly, and sleepily, "What are you screwing me for?" ”
Xie Fanghua saw that he was sleeping deeply, and his subordinates screwed him hard.
Qin Zheng's body was soft, and after she pulled him, his body shook with his arm, and he still didn't wake up.
She looked at it for a moment, feeling that looking at him like this was extremely relieved, she couldn't help but pull the corners of her mouth, and there was a slight pain in her lips, and she remembered what he did to her yesterday, and suddenly reached out and dragged him with some annoyance, "Bastard, you get up for me!" ”
Putting down his hand and looking at Qin Zheng, Qin Zheng's brows were furrowed deeply, as if he wanted to struggle to wake up, but he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes.
She sat on the bed and tried to condense her strength, letting half of her power wander through it, before she regained some spirit and strength.
In the house, Xie Fanghua's soft tendon dissipation medicine had just dissipated, and he slept sideways for a night, feeling extremely tired and stiff. She propped herself up, sat up with difficulty, and for a moment felt extremely weak, and wanted to continue sleeping.
When the waiter and the other four heard Xie Fanghua's response, they knew that the young lady was fine, so they completely relieved themselves and went to the small kitchen to prepare a meal for her. Time is indeed a bit rushed.
"Okay!" Chunlan received a response and immediately turned around and went to the west across the courtyard to return.
Xie Fanghua's voice came from the house a little weakly, "Aunt Lan, I'm awake, the second son hasn't woken up yet, you go back to the princess, I'll collapse, I'll go to the princess later, and arrive at the Moyuan on time." ”
Qin Zheng snorted sleepily, extremely subtle.
Chunlan walked a few steps quickly, came to the window, and shouted inside, "Second son, Miss Fanghua, are you two awake?" ”
The four nodded.
Chunlan hesitated for a moment, wanting to leave like this to return to the princess, but she felt that since she was here to pray for Miss Fanghua, what if she didn't show up on the first day? After struggling for a while, he said, "Hey, I'll knock on the door and shout to see if Miss Fanghua can listen to the Fa today." ”
The four of them glanced at each other, but they didn't speak.
"Hey, if it's all bright today, yesterday Master Puyun said that he would start to preach the scriptures. But now it's three o'clock. The two masters haven't gotten up yet, and the princess asked me to come over and call someone, what can I do? Aren't you going to go today? All in all, today is the first day, which is more important. Chunlan was suddenly a little embarrassed.
The four shook their heads.
Chunlan nodded, glanced at the main house, saw the curtain falling, and asked quietly, "Haven't the second son and Miss Fanghua collapsed yet?" ”
"Mother Lan!" The four of them shouted together.
As she was looking, the waiter painting, waiter, waiter, waiter, waiter and the other walked out of the room, in fact, they woke up just after dawn. However, seeing that the main house had not moved, he did not dare to make a noise.
As soon as she entered, she felt that the courtyard was quiet, and there was no one to be seen. I couldn't help but look around strangely.
On the second day, early in the morning, Chunlan opened the door of the East Cross Courtyard and walked in.
The people who didn't sleep in the middle of the night with the four of them were Lin Qihe Tingyan. The two have also been paying attention to the movements in the main room. After waiting for half the night, there was no movement, the two stared at each other for a while, and felt that there was no movement at this time, and it was estimated that there would be no good show to watch in the second half of the night, so they also fell asleep.
So, the four of them went to sleep separately.
Shi Wan and Shi Lan also felt that it was the only way. Qi Qi nodded.
"Well, I think I'll sleep too!" Shimo nodded in agreement.
"In my opinion, nothing happened in the first half of the night, and there should be nothing in the second half of the night. Why don't we all sleep! Tomorrow, the princess and princess will pull the young lady to listen to the Buddhist scriptures and pray for blessings. We'll have to wait at us. Don't be Miss Tomorrow's spirit, we didn't wake up one by one. The waiter said.
"What can I do if I don't sit still?" Shi Lan was a little discouraged.
"What then? Are we just sitting there? "The waiter also thinks it makes sense.
"Yes, in addition, with the martial arts of Miss and the second son of Zheng, even if Miss has internal injuries now and has lost half of her strength, we are not Miss's opponents. Not to mention the second son of Zheng. Their martial arts, we may not have even approached the window before they noticed it. Have you forgotten how the second son of Zheng explained at night? Let's stay away and don't bother. If we disturb them, then if we really disturb their rest, then we are remiss in our duties. Shi Mo took over.
The waiter sighed and said in a low voice, "Think about it, how long has the young lady been in Prince Ying's mansion?" Although he is not in the same room as the second son of Zheng, it is also a room separated by a wall. If you talk about bullying, then you have already bullied. Miss herself has an opinion on this matter, and the prince is helpless and can't stop it. ”
"Why? Aren't you worried? The waiter immediately asked.
"I don't think I'd go, either." Shi Mo said.
The waiter shook his head, "I don't think we'd better go!" ”
"To go or not to go? You are talking! Seeing that the two of them didn't speak, the waiter was a little anxious.
The waiter and the waiter looked at each other, and they also had such thoughts, but they were still a little hesitant. After all, they have a lot of contact with Xie Fanghua. Know a little about her actions and thoughts. But I don't know much about it. As far as they knew, the young lady was also helpless against the second son of Zheng.
Shi Lan was also a little worried, "Miss, don't suffer!" If we didn't take care of Miss Hao, how would the four of us explain to the prince? ”
The waiter whispered uneasily, "Why don't we go down to the window of the main house to find out the news?" ”
According to the young lady's temperament, the second prince of Zheng should not be allowed to use the princess to sleep in the same room with her like this, and he must always have an argument with him. However, until midnight, there was not the slightest movement in the back room, which made them wonder.
In the courtyard, in the distance, in several rooms, four people, Shi Hua, Shi Mo, Shi Lan, and Shi Wan, sat together, paying attention to the movement of the main house, but until midnight, there was no movement, and the four of them were a little strange.
The Shangyuan Festival is approaching, and most of the oval moon hangs in the thick night. By the moonlight, through the heavy curtains, some subtle light penetrated, and it seemed to be melted by the gentleness of the room, shattering the cold light.
Watching quietly like this, his eyes were not only gentle, but also unconsciously overflowing with satisfaction.
Qin Zheng felt her breathing gradually even, slowly opened her eyes, and looked at her quietly. The gaze was a tenderness she never saw when she opened her eyes to look at him. That kind of gentleness melts all the wind and snow in the world.
Lying quietly for an hour, after an hour, Xie Fanghua finally calmed down and fell asleep.
This time, there was no sound except for the faint breathing of each other.
After a while, seeing that Xie Fanghua was still silently closing his eyes, he also closed his eyes.
Under the heavy curtains, his smile was gorgeous.
Qin Zheng looked at him, and after half a sound, he laughed silently.
She suddenly felt that she must have owed Qin Zheng in her previous life. As for what she owed, she had no memory.
Xie Fanghua didn't even have the strength to shake his head, and closed his eyes again. It's not that she doesn't believe it, it's that she can really sleep? With such a person by her side and doing such a thing to her, how can she sleep for a while?
Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows, "What?" I said don't bother you? You don't believe it? ”
Xie Fanghua opened his eyes and glanced at him, but did not speak.
