Chapter 101: Return to Kyoto
The two walked slowly hand in hand in the Tai'an Temple, just like many young couples passing by.
After Yu Panxi arrived at Tai'an Temple that day, he went to meet the host the next morning, and then stayed in the meditation room almost all day to pray for Wei's chanting. It is only now that I have time to take a good look at this famous Buddhist temple.
And Xiao Chumo walked side by side with her, watching her all the time. Watching her turn her head from time to time to look at the scenery on both sides, she suddenly felt some emotion in her heart.
It's been a while since they've been so quiet.
As if sensing his gaze, Yu Panxi also retracted his gaze and thoughts slightly, and remembered the question he hadn't answered: "By the way, how did you get here?" ”
In fact, what she wanted to ask more was how he knew he was here. Obviously, even the silver bell was told the destination by himself after he set off.
Xiao Chumo naturally saw her thoughts, and smiled at her slightly: "How else can you know, you came all the way on a horse." ”
He said it lightly, almost jokingly. There is not the slightest concealment.
However, only he knew that when he mentioned this topic, his heart suddenly panicked.
He will definitely tell Xiao Fengwan and Luo Mei what they said. However, he had snubbed her for several days before, but now he followed her all the way to Tai'an Temple to observe her for several days because of Xiao Fengwan's unreliable rhetoric.
Even if he has always believed in her very much in his heart, he did these things just to give an explanation to the Ming Guohou Mansion and shut up the people over there.
But would she believe it?
Yu Panxi didn't know what Xiao Chumo was thinking, and when he heard his answer, he couldn't help but be a little surprised: "So, when we first arrived at Tai'an Temple, you were already following behind and coming in?" ”
The latter nodded helplessly.
"But since you're already here, why don't you come to me?"
"Because I can't show up for the time being."
Xiao Chumo answered Yu Panxi's question, hesitated for a moment in his heart, and still told the scene that Xiao Feng saw in the evening.
Then he said: "You and I know Luo Mei's personality in my hearts, and after learning the news, I naturally ran to my father to add fuel and vinegar and hyped it up." ”
"My father was very angry and sent someone to invite me to the Ming State Mansion. Not only did I investigate this matter, but he also sent his own cronie Nian Hui to follow me all the way, wanting to see what you were going to do. ”
"So, after you caught up with me, you followed me in the shadows until now?"
Yu Panxi was a little incredible, and took Xiao Chumo's words and asked rhetorically.
The latter saw her face full of surprise, and thought that she was angry, so he hurriedly explained: "I don't believe Xiao Fengwan's words, that mother and daughter have been thinking a lot. But it's useless for me to believe alone, I have to let Nianhui see it with my own eyes and bring the words back to the Hou Mansion. ”
His eagerness made Yu Panxi stare at him for a while. Just when his heart was hanging higher and higher, she suddenly laughed out loud.
"Okay, okay, I know you're doing it for my good. It's been hard for you these days, and you've been in the temple day and night. ”
As she spoke, she held Xiao Chumo's palm, as if she wanted to reassure him in this way.
"As for the news that Xiao Feng brought back to the Hou Mansion in the evening, it is a half-truth. I did have a few words with a man that day, but Steward Liu was also standing next to him at that time. If there is still someone who doesn't believe after you go back, you can ask him. ”
"And the man?"
Xiao Chumo asked a little hesitantly. He knew that now was not the time to ask this, and he had been holding on to this matter, just afraid that Yu Panxi would inevitably get angry.
It's just that his worries are obviously unnecessary.
There was no need for him to ask, Yu Panxi also planned to tell him what happened in front of the Xiao Mansion that day.
"The man's name is Chen Pingxiang, and he is also a musician in the palace, and he is an old friend of mine. You've seen it a few times before. He had been sent on a trip by the Emperor and had only recently returned to Kyoto. By the way, he even brought me a gift! ”
Yu Panxi said, and took out a jade flute from her arms, which was the one that Chen Pingxiang gave her that day.
As for the first emperor she was talking about, she naturally referred to Mo Baozhou.
Xiao Chumo glanced at the jade flute in her hand, and saw that its workmanship was exquisite and small, and the color of the jade was also very good, which was the most suitable to carry on her body.
Although I was very happy that Yu Panxi had no concealment, this joy suddenly turned into an inexplicable emotion when I saw the jade flute.
Xiao Chumo couldn't understand what kind of emotion this was, but felt that it was very unpleasant to look at the jade flute.
It's just that he didn't show it. I really followed Yu Panxi's words and thought carefully in my mind. I really remembered that there seemed to be such a number one person in the palace.
"I think I remember, but I don't remember this man."
Yu Panxi couldn't help laughing, and she suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Chen Pingxiang.
This good old man, who is quite praised in the palace, has such a low sense of existence when he comes to Xiao Chumo. It's even to the point where he can barely remember it if he has to be reminded by others.
Xiao Chumo laughed when he saw Yu Panxi, and knew that this matter was over.
As for Luo Mei's mother and daughter on the side of the Ming State Houfu, if they dare to do bad things in secret, don't blame him for being polite.
"By the way, there's something I haven't asked you yet."
When returning to Kyoto, Yu Panxi suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly looked up at Xiao Chumo.
And Yinling's girl suddenly saw Xiao Chumo when she set off, although she was startled, she didn't ask much, but immediately after leaving, she ran outside the carriage and sat with the coachman.
Now there are only Yu Panxi and Xiao Chumo left in the carriage, of course she asks whatever she thinks.
"Some time ago, why did you suddenly become apathetic and think about avoiding me all day long?"
Hearing her mention this matter, Xiao Chumo was stunned at first, and then this loyal and invincible general who was brave and invincible on the battlefield finally showed a trace of awkwardness.
"I thought you were in love with Wei Tingyan...... So I thought, if you really like him, I will fulfill your ......"
finally learned the reason why he avoided himself during that time, Yu Panxi didn't know whether he should be angry or laugh for a while.
"How can you think that? Didn't you believe the rumors that were circulating in Kyoto at that time? ”
"At that time, I thought too much, and I won't in the future."
Xiao Chumo sighed and hugged her into his arms.
He also knew that he hadn't thought about this matter enough, shouldn't think too much, shouldn't have snubbed her. Yu Panxi has already done so many things for herself, how can there be other men in her heart?
If he had talked about it at the time and asked so much, it wouldn't have almost broken her heart.
