At the end of the lantern feast, the ladies went out of the palace together and walked in the courtyard of the palace, Lan Wan'er and Princess Pingyang walked side by side, and Fen Ai and Qiu Xia'er next to them held small hands, and the two talked and laughed all the way.

The atmosphere was unusually cheerful, Fen Ai was tiptoeing to catch fireflies, Qiu Xia'er followed behind, and the two were like little sisters.

Lan Wan'er looked at the two of them with a gentle smile, and said to Princess Pingyang: "Xia'er was taught so well by you, Princess, if it weren't for Xia'er to relieve me today, I'm afraid I would have let that Xi Concubine frame me, in the end, Xuan'er is here to thank Princess Pingyang." ”

After saying that, Lan Wan'er bowed down slightly, grateful.

Princess Pingyang hurriedly helped Lan Wan'er to get up, she is different from those female dependents, she does not form gangs, nor caters to climbing, what she wants is a peace of mind.

"The fourth princess is polite, since Xia'er was born, I have taught her to be unfair and unfair, and do what I can." Princess Pingyang's words are soft, and her words are deeply philosophical and elegant.

"Today's grace, I have written it down."

Lan Wan'er said all the righteous words, but she was very moved in her heart, so she also made friends with Princess Pingyang, if she was put into other people, let alone helping Lan Wan'er, it would be good if she didn't fall into the well.

Looking at the backs of Fen Ai and Qiu Xia'er, Lan Wan'er suddenly sighed that time was in a hurry, and now Fen Ai had changed from a baby to a girl who spoke for her mother.

She was very relieved in her heart.

After that, Lan Wan'er took Fen Ai to Pingyang Palace as a guest, Princess Pingyang was hospitable, prepared a banquet, and after a few people ate, she took her and Fen Ai to take a walk in the palace to enjoy the scenery.

Qiu Xia'er found a table, and when she was tired of playing with Fen Ai, she asked the next person to bring embroidery things, and sat there seriously embroidering, and Fen Ai was very curious to sit and watch.

Lan Wan'er noticed that Fen Ai seemed to be very interested in embroidery, so she said, "Fen Ai, you can also learn female red from Sister Xia'er." ”

I saw that Fen Ai happily agreed, and immediately followed suit.

Qiu Xia'er taught Fen Ai, and the two of them learned from female celebrities seriously.

Seeing this, Lan Wan'er was relieved in her heart, she still remembered that when Fen Ai was very young, she was very sticky every day, and now that she is older, she has begun to stop being clingy, and she has a bit of her personality.

handed over Fen Ai to Qiu Xia'er, and Lan Wan'er went to the temple with Princess Pingyang, intending to seek peace for Fen Ai and Wei Xuanyun. After the two of them told each other, they went to the Buddhist temple with peace of mind.

Along the way, Princess Pingyang and Lan Wan'er told a lot of interesting things, and the words of the two were inexhaustible, Lan Wan'er only hated that she didn't know Princess Pingyang earlier.

After arriving at the Buddhist temple, the two went in to pray for blessings.

"The two female donors, are they incense or blessings?"

"Blessing." Lan Wan'er and Princess Pingyang said in unison.

"Donor, please come with me."

So the monk took the two into the temple, held the Buddhist beads in their hands and recited them, and then brought them new incense for the two to offer.

There are wisps of sandalwood rippling in the temple, and there are Buddha statues in front of you, and the Buddha is on the top of the famous hall, and there are incense on the table, and there are some good tributes.

The two knelt on the futon, folded their hands, closed their eyes and began to pray.

"May Fen Ai and the prince be safe, the dynasty be happy, and may the people of the world no longer suffer from suffering." Lan Wan'er silently recited in her heart, her wish was very simple, just like ordinary, hoping that the person she loved could be healthy and happy.

After the incense, Lan Wan'er got up slowly, a wisp of fragrance wafted into her nose, she only felt that her head was heavy, she was stunned for a moment, and she didn't stand firm a few times, but fortunately she was supported by Princess Pingyang, so she didn't fall to the ground.

Maybe it was the reason for these incense that made Lan Wan'er feel a little dizzy, plus the reason why she got up suddenly.

"Fourth princess, are you okay?"

Princess Pingyang asked about this Lan Wan'er with concern, and when she saw her state, she couldn't help but worry in her heart, and she didn't know why this was happening.

Lan Wan'er shook her head, her face was gentle, and she said: "It's okay, Princess Lao Pingyang is worried, I want to go to the backyard alone, maybe the smell of incense here is too strong......"

"Okay, then I'll wait for you here."

So, Lan Wan'er came to the backyard alone.

I saw a huge towering Bodhi tree planted in the center of the backyard, with lush branches and leafy leaves, and the green leaves covered the eaves, and the eaves roof of one place was very shady.

Lan Wan'er closed her eyes slightly, and took a shallow breath, the fragrance of the courtyard made her heart less uncomfortable, and her head seemed to be less heavy.

At this time, the voice of an old woman came not far away, and Lan Wan'er fixed her eyes to see that it was an old woman who fell on the ground, as if she was old, and she sat on the ground with inconvenient legs and feet for a long time and couldn't get up.

So, Lan Wan'er hurriedly ran up and helped the old woman up, "Mother-in-law, are you okay?" In the future, you have to be careful, don't fall again, what if something happens......"

The old woman looked at Lan Wan'er with satisfaction, stretched out her hand and patted the back of Lan Wan'er's hand, and said gratefully: "Girl, you are really kind-hearted, why don't you go to the yard with me to taste the osmanthus cake I made, which can be regarded as the old man's gratitude to you." ”

Lan Wan'er did not decide the old woman's good intentions, coupled with the inconvenience of the old woman's legs and feet, and fell again, she naturally also adhered to the slogan of helping people to send the Buddha to the west, and sent the old woman back.

After leaving the temple, I came to the mountainside, walked into a forest, and then saw a bamboo house not far away, and this was there.

"Girl, you sit down first, I'll get you osmanthus cake......"

After entering the house, the old woman was very enthusiastic, and she was busy preparing osmanthus cake for Lan Wan'er.

"Okay, I'm sorry for you, mother-in-law."

Lan Wan'er looked around at this bamboo house, and felt that the environment here was not only excellent, but also very suitable for health preservation, so that the environment was another feeling of isolation from the world.

She walked to a painting, and the woman painted on it was very moving, and it seemed that she still had a little bit of a look with this old woman, but the woman's dress was not ordinary, brocade clothes and jade ornaments, and golden steps just dotted her face.

Seeing this, Lan Wan'er couldn't help but stretch out her hand to touch the painting, but as soon as she put it on, it triggered the mechanism of the painting, and the ground suddenly fell into the air, and Lan Wan'er suddenly saw that she had fallen into the dark passage.

She opened her eyes in pain, and around her was an empty basement, where four square pillars supported the top of the beams, and kerosene lamps made of dragon heads hung from them.

"Where is this......" Lan Wan'er involuntarily walked towards the tablet.

When she approached the tablet, she was stunned.

The person on the tablet is actually the name of the emperor!

She looked at it again in disbelief, and made sure that she was not dazzled, and that it was not a dream.

At this time, a door suddenly opened on the side of the dark road, and the old woman Cong came out inside, looking at Lan Wan'er's surprised expression, her face was gentle, and she said with concern: "Girl, are you okay?" ”

Lan Wan'er shook her head, she was a little shocked.

Apparently she didn't know what to say anymore.

"Girl, let's go out with me first, and let the old man explain to you slowly."

So, the old woman went out with Lan Wan'er, and the two sat at the table in the courtyard, but there was a plate of fragrant osmanthus cake on it, and the old woman slowly spoke.

"I am the first queen, what you saw just now is the tablet of the first emperor, since the death of the first emperor left, I have lived alone in this mountain forest, every day the green light ancient Buddha, but also comfortable."

After saying this, the old woman seemed to recall many things, her face was moved, her body trembled a little, and she looked at the blue silk in front of her, but told her everything.

There was a cool breeze in the courtyard, but Lan Wan'er was still a little surprised in her heart.

didn't expect her to meet the Queen Mother under such circumstances.

She had heard that the Queen Mother was hiding in the mountains and forests, but no one knew where she was, and even the emperor didn't know it, but Lan Wan'er was lucky to get acquainted with the Queen Mother.

"I've seen the Queen Mother...... Lan Wan'er was very surprised in her heart, she got up and bowed down, she still grasped the relationship very well.

"Girl, you can take these osmanthus cakes with you." The old woman filled in all the pastries on the table, and nodded with satisfaction.

After sitting and talking with the old woman for a while, Lan Wan'er felt that she had gained a lot of heart, and naturally understood a lot.

After saying goodbye to the old woman, Lan Wan'er returned to the temple to meet Princess Pingyang, only to see her wandering anxiously in the courtyard, as if she couldn't wait for Lan Wan'er, so she was very anxious.

"Fourth princess, where have you been, I am so worried." Princess Pingyang asked with concern.

Then Lan Wan'er casually found an excuse and told Princess Pingyang, and the two came back to the house together, and Lan Wan'er Bafen Ai picked it up.

When she went back with these pastries, Wei Xuanyun waited at the door and saw Lan Xuan'er holding a bag in her hand, which contained osmanthus cakes.

Then, back in the mansion, Lan Xuan'er took the initiative to ask Wei Xuanyun about the Queen Mother, and then Wei Xuanyun picked up a piece of pastry, he tasted it, and felt that it was very sweet, this taste is the taste he has always memorized.

At this time, his heart was full of feelings, his eyes were full of crystals, and his body trembled slightly.

"Lord Wang, why are you doing this?"

Seeing Wei Xuanyun's reaction like this, Lan Xuan'er was a little surprised in her heart, usually don't say that Wei Xuanyun cried in front of her, these actions would not happen at all, she thought that these pastries were too delicious, but she never thought that it was because this pastry evoked Wei Xuanyun's memories.

"I still remember that I was abused when I was a child, and every time I ran to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother would give me osmanthus cake to eat, this taste, I will always remember."

Wei Xuanyun said word by word, he looked at the osmanthus cake in his hand, his face was moved, and his heart was uncomfortable, after hearing the explanation, Lan Wan'er finally understood.

She stepped forward and patted Wei Xuanyun's back gently, also comforting him.
