Meishuang slept until dawn, and the whole night was the most restful sleep these days.

When I opened my eyes, I only felt that the fatigue of many days had been swept away, and my whole body was refreshed and brisk.

Through the window, I saw that the little nun outside had already begun to work, and was sweeping the fallen leaves on the ground.

She quickly got up, washed up briefly, and walked over, "I'll come, you can rest." ”

The little nun was a little surprised, smiled and shook her head, "This is my duty, and the donor doesn't have to help." ”

Meishuang said, "What kind of help is not helping, I am not a guest, you have been sweeping for a long time, I will finish it"

The little nun couldn't resist Meishuang, so she had to go and find a broom for Meishuang again.

Meishuang took the broom and swept it skillfully, after sweeping, Meishuang and the little nun went to the back mountain spring to carry water, the little nun did half of the daily work was shared by Meishuang, but she was very embarrassed, "Donor, if you do this again, the abbot should talk about me." ”

Mei Shuang helped pour the water into the jar, raised her hand to wipe the fine beads of sweat on her forehead, and smiled, "What's this, it's not the same who does it, and being able to do some sprinkling and sweeping things in the temple is also a kind of practice, why not?" ”

The little nun didn't say much, but just put her hands together and chanted, "Amitabha." ”

Hearing the conversation outside through the window, the abbot couldn't help but close his eyes and clasp his hands and whispered, "Good, good." ”

She turned around to look at Chu Xiruo, who knelt in front of the Buddha statue and chanted sutras when she got up early in the morning, "Jinghui, do you think she has also changed?" ”

Chu Xiruo still closed her eyes and said softly, "In the past, she had a perverse temperament and was flamboyant, how could she be willing to do such rough work?" In addition to being well-behaved in front of the Queen Mother, even the daughter of the princess and minister, it is difficult for her to enter her eyes, and her half-sister is even more called by her, and she has no sisterly feelings at all. The abbot looked at her now, her temperament was straightforward, and she didn't have the shelf of the daughter before, if it weren't for that face, who would have expected that Lin Yuxiang in front of her would be the daughter of the daughter on the tip of the heart of the previous commander? Before, she was calculating me all the time, but now it seems that all the previous suspicions are gone, and she treats me like a friend, I can't believe it. It has always been like a person has changed his temperament, as if he has been reborn."

The abbot nodded, quite pleased, "You're right, it's hard for you to suffer a lot of criticism from her before, and you were banned from practicing in the Buddhist hall by the Queen Mother, thinking about chanting the scriptures day and night for so many days, you are also a lot more relieved, and you don't hold a grudge against her."

Chu Xiruo's body stiffened slightly, slowly opened his eyes, put down the scriptures in his hand, looked at the solemn Buddha above, and sighed softly, "Abbot, although the practice time is not long, I have also gained. But in the end, it is a mortal, and the heart can't be selfless."

The abbot furrowed his eyebrows slightly, obviously not understanding what he meant.

Chu Xiruo folded his hands, bowed deeply in front of the Buddha statue, and said lightly when he got up, "In front of the Buddha, I can tell you what is in my heart Since I met Prince Luo many years ago, the scene of Lord Luo allowing me to be my wife for the first time still appears in front of my eyes. At that time, he was the invincible Luo Wang Ye on the battlefield, and I was the daughter of the Zhenguo General's family. He promised me to be his wife for the rest of my life, and I always looked forward to that day."

Speaking of this, Chu Xiruo was silent for a while, as if he was caught in a memory, and when he spoke again, his voice was actually a little hoarse, "I always thought that time would stay there." He is stable at the border, even if he often does not see him, his heart is always as sweet as a promise, just because there is a good waiting in his heart. never thought that he would become the emperor from Prince Luo after all. The emperor's wife, not anyone can afford it, even if he insists on letting me enter the palace, I can't and don't dare"

Speaking of this, Chu Xiruo bowed deeply again, "The major affairs of the court and politics are connected to the harem, and the Queen Mother Mingjian banned me in the Buddhist hall, obviously to make way for the new queen, but in fact to protect me." ”

Hearing this, Meishuang outside the window was stunned.

Even the abbot was stunned when he heard it, "Jinghui"

"The family road is broken, I have nothing to follow, and I can't enter the palace for the wife of the former Luo Wangye, but I have to compete with that group of people for favor, my temperament can't gain a foothold in the palace at all, and my inability to gain a foothold in the harem will inevitably involve the emperor's energy, and for a long time, the emperor will be worried, and the queen mother will naturally not allow me to save in the palace."

The abbot was silent, if Chu Xi could see this step, he was indeed attentive.

She was stunned and didn't know how to speak, Chu Xiruo continued, her voice turned out to be a little bleak and weak, "I know, I'm gone, the emperor will definitely miss me." Every time I think that the emperor will always miss me, it is enough to warm my heart, even if I can't see the emperor from now on, this life is often accompanied by the green lantern ancient Buddha, but it can be indelible in his heart, and this life is not in vain. But I never thought that it was Meishuang who ruined this qiē, and it was precisely because of that inopportune meeting that I didn't even have the slightest warmth left in my heart."

Meishuang listened dumbfounded outside.

Destruction? She asked the emperor to go to Chu Xiruo, who actually ruined her thoughts? Didn't she do it with good intentions?

Sure enough, the abbot asked, "Jinghui, why do you say that?" ”

Chu Xiruo let out a long breath, and his tone was low, as if he had infinite melancholy and heartache, "The emperor has come to see me." But, Abbot, do you know? In the emperor's eyes, the moment I saw not my own shadow, I realized that there was someone else in his heart after all. I got a taste of discouragement."

Hearing this, Mei Shuang's heart suddenly "pounded", and even her palms seemed to be sweaty, and she almost couldn't hold the broom in her hand when she was slippery.

The abbot was silent again.

Such things are based on personal intuition, and it is difficult for others to understand. And similar things are more often the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear, but now the authorities are very sober, and she, a bystander, can only believe it.

She sighed, folded her hands, and comforted, "It's good to see clearly, and you don't have to be sad about the situation." The Queen Mother may have done the right thing, although she has isolated you from the emperor, she can at least protect you well. Since ancient times, harem women have been scheming, even if they are favored by the emperor, there are not a few who cannot die well. Jinghui, since you have figured it out and let it go, he is the master of the world after all, and he will not stop for anyone."

Chu Xiruo's hands trembled slightly, his throat was bitter, and he said in a low voice, "Who won't stop for whom?" Abbot, I-understood."

"Okay, after kneeling for so long, get up quickly, I won't tell you about being here. You just have to stay in peace."

Taking advantage of the fact that Chu Xiruo and the abbot had not come out yet, Meishuang, who was holding a broom, hurriedly dodged.

When she ran to the back of the house, Meishuang only felt that her heart was "fluttering" and beating. She looked back as if she had done something wrong, and no one came behind her, so she put down the broom in her hand and found a clean place to sit down.

If you look up, you will see the back mountain.

Although the weather is warm and cold, the mountains have already taken on the colors of early spring, and faint green shoots have emerged on the originally bare mountains.

Mei Shuang's elbows were propped up on her knees, and she stared at the mountain behind her cheeks, but every word Chu Xiruo said echoed in her ears.

This Chu Xiruo, Ruolan on the outside, smart on the inside, quiet temperament, and three points into things, is it comparable to ordinary women? The previous Meishuang, if it wasn't for the queen mother's favoritism and favor, not because of her prominent family background, how could she compete with such a woman? It's really overwhelming.

How many men wouldn't fall in love with such a woman? It is reasonable for Xiao Luo to like her, but now she actually said that Xiao Luo has "others" in her eyes, and the man who promised her "a wife" in her mouth will empathize so quickly?

Mei Shuang sighed deeply, only to feel the coolness on her body increase sharply.

Who would she mean by "someone else"? What kind of woman can outperform Chu Xiruo, who attaches equal importance to beauty and wisdom, and even she herself is not confident to this point, and she categorically leaves the "Luo Wangye" she has never forgotten based on the "shadow" of speculation?

In the distance, the abbot saw Meishuang sitting on a rock, looking at the mountain behind her in a daze.

Mei Shuang, who had changed into an ordinary folk girl's clothes, put her hands on her cheeks, as if she was immersed in memories, and seemed to be preoccupied, and even the abbot stood beside her for a long time without noticing.

Just now she saw the disappearing corner of her clothes from the window, this child must have heard Chu Xiruo's words, and she should have heard Chu Xiruo's complaints to her.

Alas, what a bad fate!

Previously, this Meishuang did not hesitate to do everything possible to get rid of Chu Xi in order to get the emperor, so that the lovers were separated, but now she hopes that the two people who were separated by her will get back together, but she doesn't know that the world has changed the sky again.

I really can't understand it, could it be that her heart has changed so much after being reborn? Even his feelings for the emperor have changed?

The abbot coughed lightly, Meishuang suddenly woke up, got up subconsciously, and said to the abbot embarrassedly, "Master, why are you here?" ”

"It's time for fasting," the abbot said kindly, looking at Mei Shuang's cheeks that were slightly red from the mountain wind, "You are not afraid of catching a cold while sitting here?" ”

Meishuang shook her head, "It's okay, it's just for a while." ”

The abbot carefully examined Meishuang's complexion and said, "You are weak, you must learn to take care of your body, but you must not catch a cold." Also, you should pay attention to a few dishes when you eat, and you can't eat more, I'll give you a list when you go back, and you can eat it again."

"Oh? Master, why? Meishuang said curiously.

The abbot said as he walked back, "This is a problem with you when you were a child, and you have been injured now, which can be said to be worse, and it cannot be reflected on the face for the time being, so you must take more care to avoid future troubles."

"What was wrong with your childhood?" Meishuang paused, "Before the Master - know me?" ”

Only then did the abbot realize that he had spoken too much, so he pretended not to hear Meishuang's words, Yun Danfeng lightly diverted the topic and said, "Naturally not, the meal is ready, let's go eat it." ”

After that, he walked towards the Buddha hall.
