In the late spring of March, the grass grows and the warbler flies, Zhang Shixing stands outside the Xuanwu Gate of the palace, through the doorway, watching Tana in the Forbidden City from a distance gently lifts the skirt and slowly walks into the carriage, since she entered the palace, she has not seen it for several years, her body has lost a lot, but her skin is fairer, and her whole body exudes a gentle air of a young woman, which is more and more beautiful and charming.

The moment Tana stepped into the carriage, she glanced back at the place where Zhang Shixing had stopped, her eyes were full of resentment, and Zhang Shixing was shocked.

Since the two of them met in the sea of fishing, they have gone through hardships and dangers, shared hardships and hardships, and traveled thousands of miles to Beijing, and they really have a sense of dependence on each other, but because of the red wall, they are close to the end of the world, and they can not be emotional. Fortunately, Tana is going out of the palace today to worship the Buddha and pray for blessings in Jiming Temple, Zhang Shixing has been promoted to a small flag at the moment, he took the initiative to ask Ying to escort, so that he was able to meet, which is also thanks to Tana as the prince's side concubine, not favored, so no one fights, everyone is happy to give him a favor.

Tana's carriage drove out of the Xuanwu Gate, Zhang Shixing shouted, his lieutenants flew on the horse together, four horses in front, four horses in the back, one on the left and one on the left, protected the carriage, and drove together, along the Bei'anmen Inner Street to the north out of the imperial city, and then along the Zhoushan to the west, but an hour or so, it arrived at the foot of the Jilong Mountain, and the Jiming Temple was built according to the mountain.

Jiming Temple was built in the Western Jin Dynasty, it has been more than 1,000 years since now, Tang people Du Mu once had a poem: "Thousands of miles of warblers cry green and red, water village mountain Guo wine flag wind." There are 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, and how many buildings are in the smoke and rain. Emperor Wu of Liang had sacrificed himself here three times, so Jiming Temple was known as the first temple in the Southern Dynasty. Ming Dynasty Hongwu 20 years (AD 1387) Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang ordered to rebuild this temple, repair the temple, and personally write the imperial title mountain gate plaque "Jiming Temple", so the Jiming Temple is regarded as the royal private temple, covers an area of 1,000 acres, the scale is grand, the palace pavilion, carved beams and paintings, magnificent and domainless, for the crown of the country.

The two maids helped Tana out of the carriage, and Tana said coldly to Zhang Shixing, who was standing aside, in Mongolian: "Come alone later, don't let people find out, I have something to say to you." ”

Zhang Shixing was slightly stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know what she meant, but he didn't have time to think about it, his brain turned, and he quickly said to the captains: "The princess has an order, everyone is good to take care of her, and you will be rewarded after returning to the palace." When the lieutenants heard this, they were thunderous with joy, and hurriedly stepped forward to serve diligently, and after running forward, they hugged Tana and walked into the mountain gate.

The abbot of the Jiming Temple, Master Dexuan, had been informed of the news before, knowing that the prince's side concubine was going to come to the temple to make incense, so he emptied the idle people in the temple early, and led the monks of the temple to wait outside the mountain gate.

A group of people through the mountain gate, the palace of the king of heaven, came to the hall of the great majesty, the captains waited outside the door, Master Dexuan accompanied Tana into the hall to incense, Tana twisted three incense sticks, inserted into the incense burner, and then knelt down to the Buddha Shakyamuni and kowtowed, chanting words in his mouth, praying for a long time, and then got up, Master Dexuan smiled and said: "Dare to ask the princess what she wants?" ”

Tana's face was slightly red and said, "Ask for a son." ”

Master Dexuan said with a smile: "The small temple is the most effective way to seek marriage, of course, there will be many children and blessings if you have a good marriage." The princess can go to the Guanyin Hall next to it to worship. ”

Tana then went to the west of the Guanyin Temple also burned three incense, worshipped, and then ordered someone to offer thousands of sesame oil money, Master Dexuan smiled at first sight, and hurriedly ordered the apprentice to accept it, and then accompanied Tana to visit the Jiming Temple, all the way slowly, carefully explained, this side is the Wufang Pavilion, that side is the Jialan Palace, here is the Patriarch Temple, that side is the Lingxu Pavilion, and so on, to the back, he pointed to a five-level brick tower and said: "Princess, please see, this tower is called Puji Tower, the treasure of my temple town." ”

Tana saw that this brick tower was simple and majestic, and there was nothing special about it, and said strangely: "Abbot, why do you say that, could it be that there are some treasures buried under this tower?" ”

Master Dexuan blurted out and praised: "The princess is really smart and icy, this tower hides the spirit bones of the Southern Dynasty Baogong Zen Master, and the golden coffin is extremely noble." This master's common surname is Zhu, so he is deeply respected by the emperor. ”

Tana sighed and said, "I'm a little tired after walking so far, master, I can borrow a room to rest." ”

Master Dexuan said: "The old monk has already prepared for the princess, please come with me." After that, he led everyone to a secluded place in the far back, which was a cross-courtyard with two entrances in front and back, with two big locust trees planted in the middle, sheltering from the wind and rain, and the maid helped Tana into the main room in the backyard. Tana nodded and said, "You're clean here, I'll only rest for a while, and I won't bother for too long." Master Dexuan said with a smile: "The old monk wishes that the princess would live for a long time, so that the temple can shine, but I am afraid that the prince will not will." With that, he gently closed the door and retreated.

A group of lieutenants rested in the front yard, Zhang Shixing ordered four people to guard the front door, and the idle people were not allowed to approach, he said to the rest of the captains: "I'll check around, you can rest here for the time being, don't talk nonsense." Anyway, he walked out of the door, around the back wall, he has been secretly practicing the inner kung fu in the past few years, his skills have made great progress, see that there is no one left and right, jump, jump on the wall, check the movement in the courtyard everywhere, only to hear the door of the main room squeak open, two maids walked out, stepped into the east wing, the courtyard was silent, only the birds and birds chirped on the locust tree.

Zhang Shixing jumped off the wall lightly, cautiously walked to the root of the wall of the main house, looked around, saw that the window was half-covered, pushed lightly with his palm, jumped in, and then closed carefully, just turned around, a woman threw herself into his arms, it was Tana, Zhang Shixing flashed after embarrassment, his face was flushed, and he lowered his voice and said: "Princess Tana, don't you have something to say to me?" ”

Tana gently beat his already wide chest with her hand and sobbed, "You are my son, and you will not leave me for the rest of your life." ”

Zhang Shixing was at a loss, his heart was beating hard, and he said in a low voice: "Princess, don't be like this, you are the princess, if you let the prince know, you and I will have no place to die." ”

Tana hugged him tighter and muttered, "Die or die, I'll die with you, I've already died once anyway, I don't want to live like this again, my Battle." ”

Tana raised her head, crystal tears rolled down from her eyes, warm lips pressed up, Zhang Shixing suddenly felt that the world was spinning, forgetting all the troubles, grievances, and rules in the world, he also hugged Tana tightly, his lips responded to her warmly, reached out and gently stroked her hair, and recalled a voice in his head: "My princess, I am your son, we are together in life and death, and we will not be separated for the rest of our lives." ”

About half an hour later, Zhang Shixing walked in from the front door with a disheveled dress and a crimson face, and the captain guarding the gate felt strange and quipped: "Zhang Tou'er, have you gone to heaven, why have you been walking for so long?" ”

Zhang Shixing waved his hand and said: "Alas, don't mention it, this ghost place, I can't find a thatched toilet, so I ran to the mountains to relieve myself." ”

Another lieutenant quipped, "Don't go with Zhang Tou'er." ”

Zhang Shixing glared at him and reprimanded: "The holy land of Buddhism, Hugh is talking nonsense. ”

The lieutenant stuck out his tongue and grimaced, not daring to say more.

After a while, the two maids helped Tana out and said, "The princess commanded, let's get up and drive back to the palace." ”

Zhang Shixing peeked and saw Tana recomb her temples, reorganize her clothes, have an expressionless face, and board the car calmly, his pounding heart slowly eased down, and commanded everyone to hurriedly escort Tana back to the palace.
