"Miss, the housekeeper has already asked people to enshrine the immortal tablets of the lord and the lady in front of the Buddha, don't be too sad." Mei'er gently reassured.

Mu Xiwan nodded, and suddenly remembered that the Jian'an Temple outside the city was hit by a mountain fire, and most of the Buddha hall in the front hall was burned down, but after reconstruction, it was not as brilliant as before. Around this time, Jian'an Temple raised money to reshape the golden body of the Buddha, and even the Queen Mother went out of the palace to participate in person.

The Queen Mother believed in Buddhism, and when she got old, she was more attentive, and spent most of the day in the Buddhist hall in the palace. The emperor was frail at an early age, and in order to pray for her son's blessing, the queen mother also practiced in the monastery for a period of time.

"Mei'er, get your things ready, let's go to Jianye Temple." Jianye Temple is full of incense, and usually only the powerful people in the capital can go there. She was the daughter of a general, and she devoted herself to chanting sutras in the monastery for her father, who died in battle, and no one could fault it.

Mu Xiwan lived in Jianye Temple for ten days, every day in front of the Buddha for his father to recite the Sutra of the Past Life, after listening to the presiding lecture on the deep understanding, willing to donate all the family property, only to ask parents to be able to die as soon as possible.

The magnates all over the capital, compared to the money donated by Mu Xiwan, is not a lot, but she is an orphan girl, in order for her parents to be able to disperse the family wealth, the name of filial piety quickly spread to the ears of the queen mother.

As Mu Xiwan expected, the Queen Mother went to Jian'an Temple and summoned her not long after.

Mei'er prepared exquisite clothes, Mu Xiwan shook her head, still chose a plain dress, and did not deliberately pretend, the whole person looked very haggard.

Mei'er felt that something was wrong, and said worriedly: "Miss doesn't dress up, I'm afraid it's disrespectful to the Queen Mother." ”

Mu Xiwan chose a white velvet flower to put on her sideburns, and said softly: "My father's mourning period has not passed, isn't it reasonable that I am too lazy to make up?" "The play can't just be played by Qi Zhen, she also has to walk on the field, otherwise it won't seem too cold.

Walking into the room where the Queen Mother was resting, Mu Xiwan knelt on the ground and saluted the Queen Mother, "The courtier Mu Xiwan has seen the Queen Mother." ”

She was dressed in plain clothes, her face was pale, there was no bead hairpin on her head, and her body was so weak that it seemed to be blown down by a gust of wind, which made her more and more distressing.

Sure enough, the queen mother showed pity and beckoned to her lovingly, "Get up and sit down beside the mourning family." ”

Mu Xiwan was stunned for a moment, and said timidly and in a low voice: "The courtiers don't dare, this is not in accordance with the rules." ”

The Queen Mother and the grandmother on the side looked at each other and smiled, with some satisfied looks in their eyes. Mama walked down to help Mu Xiwan, and said with a smile on her face: "The Queen Mother will let you go, don't be afraid." ”

"Yes." Mu Xiwan bit her lip, the whole person was still a little restrained, and she sat carefully next to the Queen Mother, hanging her head and not daring to look around.

"Such a small person, my father and mother are gone, and I am also a pitiful." The Queen Mother held Mu Xiwan's hand and didn't let go.

This is true, the only daughter of the Queen Mother is frail and sickly, and she is also timid and cowardly. Therefore, when she saw the weak and well-behaved Mu Xiwan, she thought of her daughter, and felt a little more pity.

The Queen Mother said: "I heard that you donated all your family property to reshape the golden body of the Buddha, and there are not many young daughters who believe in Buddhism as much as you." ”

Mu Xiwan sighed: "My father passed away, and my courtiers often felt sad in their hearts, and when I heard the host's lecture a few days ago, I felt a feeling for a while, if I could exchange my parents for early bliss, it would be nothing if I didn't have something outside my body." ”

The Queen Mother believes in Buddhism, and her practice of cherishing the evening has won the favor of the Queen Mother. She had already checked the family's accounts privately, and there was a lot of property on the surface, but those that were not recorded in the accounts were the real family background of the Mu family. Now that she deliberately scattered the family property on the bright side, King Ping's hand was not so long.

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction: "King Ping has accepted you as a righteous daughter, you are the granddaughter of the mourning family, and you are the county lord of Beiyan." In the evening, the mourning family likes your tightness, and when the mourning family returns to the palace, you will live with the mourning family for two days, just to talk to the mourning family. He also instructed his mother: "Give her a token of the palace gate, so that she will not have trouble every time." ”

"Yes." Mu Xiwan responded obediently, and this well-behaved and sensible appearance fell in the heart of the Queen Mother, and she liked it a little more.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, a layer of frost formed on Mu Xiwan's face. Although the sun in the sky was fierce, it could not shine into her heart.

Mu Xiwan followed the queen mother into the palace, and at this time it was twilight, and lamps were lit everywhere in the palace. The palace maids walked through the palace wall like flowing water, and it seemed that there was some kind of banquet.

When passing through the palace gate, the official led a group of foreigners with unique costumes to walk by, and Mu Xi was busy with his grandmother and bowed. Yu Guang caught a glimpse of a familiar and unfamiliar figure, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

It's him. Feng Chengyi, the crown prince of Darong, her husband in her previous life.

At this time, Feng Chengyi was still a clear young man, and there was no Shen Yi she was familiar with between his eyebrows and eyes. Although he disguised his appearance, Mu Xiwan recognized it at a glance, she looked at him stupidly, only him was left in her eyes, completely forgetting how abnormal her bold move was.

As if something gentle had fallen on him, Feng Chengyi raised his eyes in surprise, and saw a woman looking at him, her eyes sad and lonely, as if she was separated by a long landscape.

Soon, Feng Chengyi's figure disappeared at the end of the long palace alley.

Mu Xiwan couldn't help but worry, in the previous life, she was able to get close to Feng Chengyi because of King Ping's careful planning. King Ping asked people to pretend to assassinate Feng Chengyi, and then lured Mu Xiwan to come to the rescue, so that he had a good impression of her.

But it was obviously the emperor's birthday a year later, could it be that King Ping planned in advance? was in a mess in his heart, and Mu Xiwan shook his head irritably.

When the Queen Mother saw it, she said: "Are you not used to living here in the mourning family?" ”

Mu Xiwan hurriedly shook his head and said in a low voice: "It's just that my heart is a little uneasy." ”

The Queen Mother touched her face lovingly and said, "You have no mother and father since you were a child, so you are naturally unhappy, and the mourning palace is boring." After a while, the mourning family will let people lead you out for a walk, but there are many rules in the palace, don't walk around at will, so as not to bump into the nobles, you know? ”

"Empress Dowager Xie, the folk girl knows." Mu Xiwan was worried about Feng Chengyi in her heart, although she knew that it was unlikely to be seen, she couldn't help but approach the banquet.

"County Lord, you can't go any further." The little eunuch reminded her nervously.

Mu Xiwan smiled apologetically, turned around and walked into the small pavilion on the side. The wind was a little cold, she reached out and pulled down her clothes, and Mei'er said angrily: "It's all because the slave was too careless, and she forgot to bring a cloak to the young lady when she went out." The slave and maid will go back and get it. ”

Mu Xiwan sat in the pavilion looking at the moon and was distracted, the little eunuch outside was bored and fell asleep against the pillar, she smiled dumbly, and turned her head to see a figure hurriedly walking not far away.
