Chapter 22 Princess Anqing
"Mrs. Shi, how far do you have to go?"
“……”
"Mrs. Shi, the princess is expensive this year?"
“……”
"Mrs. Shi, why is Erya called Erya?"
“……”
"Shi Tai ......"
"Noise."
Along the way, Qian Jin chattered about this and that, and made this Huijing Master too annoying. I saw her kick on the money in the buttocks, and the latter flew out two meters away like a flying dog.
"Mrs. Shi, can we stop kicking our ass?" Qian Jin said aggrievedly.
"Shut up."
“……”
The whole world is quiet. Master Hui Jing took a deep breath and smiled with satisfaction.
The two of them walked through the Daming Gate into the inner city, and walked around the imperial city to the northeast for half an hour, and finally came to a secluded place.
As far as the eye can see, there is a pool of green lakes, and four or five snow-white swans are frolicking in the lake. There is a small island in the middle of the lake, which is covered with willow trees and many green bamboos.
Mrs. Hui Jing led the money into a small road in the lake and went to the island. I saw a stone path leading straight to the depths of the bamboo forest, and I could vaguely see a nunnery. Qian Jin couldn't help but glance behind him, and found that the opposite side of the island was where the government of Guozijian was located.
When she arrived at the gate of the nunnery, Hui Jing instructed Qian Jin to wait at the door with Erya, and then she entered the gate of the nunnery alone.
Qian Jin observed the surroundings, the entire nunnery was surrounded by white walls, and the plaque on the door of the nunnery read 'Baiyi Nunnery'. Inside the door of the nunnery is a wooden screen, on which the four big characters of "red dust stops" are written, and the things inside are not very clear, only the faint sound of Zen singing is heard.
There was nothing to do, Qian Jin patted Erya's horse on the back and said, "Wait a little smarter, there are benefits for you." ”
Er Ya didn't buy it and put her head aside. Qian Jin wanted to give it some more color, but remembering that his ass was still aching faintly at the moment, he had to give up.
After the tea, Hui Jing came out of the white clothes nunnery and motioned for Qian Jin to go with her. The two of them followed a stone path on the left side of the gate through a bamboo forest and came to a pavilion, only to see a woman standing facing the lake in the middle of the pavilion.
"I've seen Princess Anqing soon." Master Hui Jing commanded.
Although Qian Jin didn't see the woman's front, he saw that she was graceful and waist-length, so she must have a good appearance. When she was about to bow down, the woman had slowly turned around, and saw that her skin was like condensed fat, her face was like a goose egg, her eyebrows were like willow leaves, and her eyes were like a crescent moon.
"Knock on Princess Anqing." Qian Jin hurriedly bowed.
"Hurry up, please get up ......" Princess Anqing's lips opened lightly, and at the same time her hands were weak.
After Qian Jin got up, he didn't dare to look directly, so he pretended to enjoy the surrounding scenery.
Princess Anqing kept staring at Qian Jin carefully, as if she wanted to find Wen Xun's shadow between Qian Jin's eyebrows. Even if Qian Jin is a human being in two lives, he feels uncomfortable being stared at by this person, and after a while, fine sweat oozes from his forehead.
seemed to feel Qian Jin's strangeness, Princess Anqing "poofed" and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it's his nephew, and even his eyebrows look average." ”
"Uh...... The princess smiled. ”
"Is the old man okay?"
"My grandfather is cultivating in Jiangxi, and his health is already very good."
At this time, several nuns came over carrying a bamboo table, as well as bamboo stools, teapots, stoves, pastries and other things. After everything was arranged, the nuns bowed and retreated.
"The white clothes nunnery can't entertain male guests, so let's have some refreshments in the pavilion." Princess Anqing raised her hand and asked Qian to take a seat.
Qian Jin hurriedly thanked him, and sat down first under the lake. Hui Jing placed a soft cushion on the bamboo bench in the main seat, helped Princess Anqing to sit down, poured two cups of boiled tea, gently placed it in front of the princess and Qian Jin, and then stood on one side.
"Mrs. Shi, please sit down too." Qian Jin said with a smile.
Hui Jing glanced at Qian Jin with the white of her eyes and ignored it. Princess Anqing said with a smile: "People outside the square, don't talk about these vulgar etiquette, just listen to the money donor." ”
Hui Jing had to sit sideways on the first stool on the right, but her face was facing Qian Jin's side. Qian Jin was stared at by this teacher, and he was not embarrassed for a while.
"I'm afraid that the money donor has suffered a lot from Hui Jing along the way." Princess Anqing said with a smile.
"It's okay...... Ok......"
"Although Hui Jing is a little irritable, she is very good. Ay...... Over the years, I have suffered a lot. After Princess Anqing finished speaking, she sighed.
Qian Jinguan looked at her eyebrows with a faint sense of depression, and she couldn't see it if she didn't look closely, it seemed to be caused by the fact that the knot in her heart had not been opened for many years. So he said: "My uncle has been investigating the news of my grandmother and mother in various places for so many years, and I have not been able to come to the capital on time. ”
Next to him, Hui Jing said angrily: "If he wants to come, is there anyone who can't stop him?" ”
Princess Anqing hurriedly stopped her words and said slowly: "Back then, the first emperor failed the Wen family, and it is understandable that he hated me. ”
Although Qian Jin has heard a little about the Eighteen Bachelor case, he has always known about it, and his grandfather and uncle are also evasive about it. However, when he met Princess Anqing for the first time, he naturally wouldn't ask about such a sensitive matter, so he changed the topic and said: "Erya came to the capital with me this time, but I suffered a lot. ”
"It was a gift from the emperor in the year of my crown ceremony, and it was extremely humane. Back then, I gave it to your uncle, and when I didn't think of saying goodbye, it was also dying. Princess Anqing said gloomily.
Hearing Princess Anqing speak, Qian Jin couldn't help but think of such a picture: I saw my uncle and the princess meeting in a sea of flowers, the two wanted to talk about it, Lang You's concubine was intended, and there was a stupid horse standing next to him.
It's just that sixteen years later, Shaohua is old, are the people of Shisi still the same people as they were back then? However, since the uncle asked himself to bring a letter to the princess, he must also want to express it. So he said: "My uncle once asked me to bring a letter to the princess, and I also asked carefully before leaving, I wonder if the princess has ever read it?" ”
That's exactly what I wondered. I read the letter, but there was not a word in it, and he must still hold a grudge against me. Princess Anqing said, and tears flashed faintly in the corners of her eyes.
When Qian Jin heard this, he couldn't help but be puzzled, so he asked, "Princess, can you show me that letter?" ”
Princess Anqing then turned to her side, took out a piece of letterhead from her arms and handed it to Qian Jin.
Qian Jin took it and looked at it, it was really a blank piece of paper. He recalled his uncle's precious appearance when he left Pingchang Mansion, and said in his heart that his uncle should not let him send a blank piece of paper all the way over, there must be a reason for this.
At this moment, he noticed a watermark on the letterhead, presumably the princess had inadvertently dropped tears on it when she received the letter. At this time, the teardrops soaked out, and the handwriting faintly appeared. Qian Jin saw that there was a basin of water next to it, so he spread the letter paper on the water, and after a few breaths, the handwriting was all revealed:
"Qingqing Wuwen, I haven't seen me for sixteen years, and I miss it very much. Thinking that my nephew was cunning, afraid of being peeped at, and thinking of Wenwen's love to cry, I had to hide the handwriting. When Wenwen saw the letter empty, she would definitely cry, and the handwriting would appear immediately.
……
My heart is as eternal as the sun and the moon, and even if the sea is dry and the rocks rot, I will not stop thinking about your heart.
……”
Qian Jin accidentally saw this, felt goosebumps all over his body, and hurriedly said "Don't look at indecent things", and hid outside the pavilion to blow the wind. If you think about it carefully, how can my uncle not be familiar with these techniques for transmitting information?
Seeing this, Mrs. Hui Jing hurriedly took out the letter from the basin and presented it steadily to the princess, while her face was turned to the side.
Qian Jin could only hear the sound of sobbing in the pavilion for a while, and laughter for a while, and he couldn't help but think of his uncle's serious face, and he couldn't imagine that the letter was from him.
After a while, the inside of the pavilion stopped. Hui Jing came over and asked Qian to come in and sit in the pavilion.
"Let the virtuous nephew see it......" Princess Anqing said.
"Uh...... Auntie, in the future, our family will not speak two words. ”
Princess Anqing heard Qian Jin call herself "aunt", and her face was flushed with shame for a while, but her face was forced to be angry, and she said: "My nephew who loves to mess around with you often mentions you after meeting you, saying that you are a hero. When I saw it today, I didn't want to be a cunning person, as your uncle said. ”
"You mean Your Majesty?" Qian Jinqi said.
"Exactly. On that day, His Majesty sneaked out of the palace with a few cronies, eunuchs and guards, and hid in a private house. In the evening, I went to your house again to steal the second girl out, and broke into Juyong Pass at night. ”
Although Qian Jin had guessed the general passage of that night from Gonggong Cai's mouth, he still felt incredible when he heard the princess. But he didn't say anything, and he couldn't intervene in this royal matter. Now that I think about it, Erya's performance is also reasonable, if it wasn't for someone of the same royal blood, how could it be so obedient?
……
In the evening, Princess Anqing ordered someone to prepare some meals as entertainment, and went to the nunnery to write a letter to trust Qian Jin to bring to her uncle when she was free.
Qian Jin saw that there were bamboo shoots on the table, and saw that there were many green bamboos planted on this island, so he couldn't help but sigh. He had seen a screen in his uncle's study, on which were painted green bamboos. It seems that the two of them really have the intention of being concubines, and they have always made up their minds this month.
After fasting, Princess Anqing and Hui Jing sent the money to the lake.
"Virtuous nephew, you can carry this jade pendant with you, so that you can enter and exit the city gate." Princess Anqing said that, she took out a piece of jade pendant sideways and handed it to Qian Jin, which was engraved with the word "Anqing".
Next to him, Hui Jing said: "Take care of this errand carefully, otherwise be careful with your ass." ”
"Princess, look at this Master Hui Jing is always bullying me, you don't care." Qian Jin said aggrievedly.
"From now on, you will call me aunt...... Hui Jing is my doppelganger, and when she sees her, she sees me as if she were me. Back then, when the first emperor wanted to marry me to someone else, I swore a curse and swore to escape into the empty door. However, the six roots are not exhausted, and he only practices as a lay disciple. Hui Jing grew up with me, so she fulfilled her vows for me to leave home......" Princess Anqing explained.
Qian Jin wondered in his heart, he couldn't imagine that there were so many allusions in this. In the meantime, he confessed to the princess and Mrs. Hui Jing, and strode out of the lake.
"In the future, you can often come to the island to sit on ......," the voice of Princess Anqing sounded behind him.
