Chapter 64
The concubines who live in the harem are depressed and depressed after praying for the queen mother, and when they stay in the palace, they are like fish in the water, birds that have taken off the cage, from afternoon to night, the concubines eat, drink and have fun, so lively, but only the queen is not seen.
However, the queen was not there, but those cumbersome etiquette systems were omitted, and the concubines had even more fun.
Concubine Chen looked at the concubines' appearance and sneered disapprovingly, "One by one, I don't think about how to please the emperor, but I am here to entertain myself, this palace looks, your hard days are ahead!" ”
In a word, the concubines looked at each other and were extremely disappointed.
The queen mother was not there, Concubine Chen had the highest position, she poured down such a basin of cold water, and all the concubines were happy, and they all retired and returned to the palace.
It's just that in the morning, one of the concubines' shoes was missing, and the shoes of two concubines were actually outside the residence, which made everyone panic and lose their interest in playing.
After breakfast, the harem concubines who had prayed for the queen mother returned to the palace under the leadership of the emperor, and they all expressed concern about the queen's whereabouts halfway, but no one knew.
-- By the time Meishuang woke up, the sun was already setting.
There has long been no shadow of the emperor and the concubines in the Jokhang Temple. When she woke up and went out, she met a little novice who was sweeping the floor in the yard and told her that someone would pick her up, so that she could wait in peace.
Xiao Shami is not very old, he looks like he is only in his teens, and his face is honest.
After thinking about it, Mei Shuang accosted, "Little Master, how long have you been here?" ”
Seeing Mei Shuang's question, Xiao Shami hurriedly put down the broom, folded his hands, and lowered his eyes after reciting the sentence "Amitabha", "It's been half a year." ”
"Oh, do you have to change the fruit offerings in the prayer hall every day?"
Xiao Shami didn't know why Mei Shuang suddenly asked about the fruit offerings in the main hall, and was a little surprised, raised his eyebrows and said, "Naturally, I want to change it." ”
"Oh, I just asked, I saw an apple a little rotten this morning when I was praying." Mei Shuang has a presence.
"Really?" Xiao Shami was stunned and said, "Then I'll go back to Master quickly." ”
Seeing that Xiao Shami was in a hurry to turn around and leave, Mei Shuang hurriedly stopped him and said, "Hey, little master, don't worry, what if I read it wrong?" Let's take a look, and if it's really bad, it's not too late for you to reply. ”
The little novice stopped and thought, "Okay. ”
Master has never liked to be reckless, and if he took the liberty to report it, it would be a shame if he made a mistake.
So, Meishuang and Xiao Shami came to the main hall together.
Standing at the door of the main hall, Meishuang took a deep breath, tried to calm her heartbeat, and then smiled at Xiao Shami, "Let's go in and have a look." ”
This smile made the little novice stunned for a moment, and then he blushed, hurriedly entered the main hall with his hands folded and bowed his head, and went straight to the Buddha in the main hall to make offerings.
Watching the little novice carefully inspect the fruits one by one, the smile on the corner of Meishuang's lips gradually solidified.
She really didn't dare to come in alone, but now that she has a little friend as a companion, how can she be better than her alone.
Last night's qiē was definitely not her hallucination, she really wanted to figure out, what was the matter with the Buddha statue in this hall? Because, the vivid Buddha statue painted on the note I received, and the resurrection of the Buddha statue last night, seem to tell an unknown secret, and this secret must be related to her, or to her before.
As the sun sets, the pre-sunset light shines through the long windows into the hall, casting mottled shadows on the ground, and the dust in the pillars of light is faintly visible.
Some of the pillars of light fell on the gilded magic vessels in the main hall, the light was dazzling, and Meishuang turned sideways, avoiding the dazzling light, and squinted her eyes to look at the familiar Buddha statue.
The posture of the Buddha statue has not changed, it is still the same respectful face, not happy or angry, Meishuang stared at the Buddha statue for a long time, and the Buddha statue has not changed at all.
It's just that there is no difference in appearance between the Buddha statues and the surrounding ones, no matter how solemn and lifelike they are, they still look lifeless.
"What is the donor looking at?"
The confused voice of the little novice came from her ears, and Meishuang retracted her mind and shook her head, "It's nothing. ”
When he turned his eyes, he found that Xiao Shami really had an extra plate of offering fruit in his hand, and he said to Mei Shuang gratefully, "Thank you for your discernment." Sure enough, a few of these offerings have been broken, and I think they were stolen and eaten by the gluttonous old cat, so I went to change them. ”
Seeing that Meishuang didn't move, he was a little strange, followed Meishuang's line of sight, and asked, "What is the donor looking at?" ”
Mei Shuang clasped her hands together and said lightly, "Little Master, although I am not a member of Buddhism, I am dedicated to Buddha. Su Ri copied Buddhist scriptures for the Queen Mother and learned a lot of knowledge. It's just that, you see, I know the Medicine Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, and Maitreya Buddha on the side of the Buddha, but I have never seen this Buddha statue in front of me before. Dare to ask the little master, what is the name of this Buddha? What does it mean? ”
Xiao Shami looked at it carefully, suddenly blushed, and shook his head, "I don't know if this is not listed before." ”
Mei Shuang's heart moved, "When did you get here?" ”
"It's been a while." Xiao Shami suddenly remembered something, his expression changed, and he disguised, "Donor, I have to go to exchange for the fruit, please go back, someone should come to pick you up later." ”
Meishuang wanted to observe for a while, but Xiao Shami urged Meishuang to leave quickly, and had to go with Meishuang to send her to the palace.
Meishuang had no choice but to leave. It's a pity that there was still no movement from the Buddha statue before leaving.
-- When Mei Shuang returned, there was already a person standing in the place where she lived, sitting at the table and carefully reading the Buddhist scriptures that Mei Shuang had copied for the Queen Mother.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on his face through the long window, gilding his almost demonic face with a golden halo, and the whole person seemed to be in excellent spirits.
But at that moment, Meishuang suddenly felt that this person was extremely hateful.
Then he strode over with a calm face.
At this moment, Nangong Nuo was squinting his eyes slightly, his slender fingers holding a page of fly-headed letters, reading quietly while reading, and he suddenly entered the realm of selflessness.
It wasn't until Mei Shuang strode over and snatched the Buddhist scriptures in his hand angrily that he seemed to find Mei Shuang's peach blossom eyes with a slight astonishment, "Are you back?" Sick? Why is your face so bad? ”
While getting up and reaching out to touch Meishuang's forehead, he said to himself, "It's not hot."
The so-called reaching out and not hitting smiling people, let alone such obvious concern from others.
Mei Shuang was really made by Nangong Nuo's deliberate pretending to be confused, and pretending to make you unable to get angry, so that the fire in her heart jumped up, but she had to suppress her weakness and said, "I'm not sick." ”
Immediately pushed away Nangong Nuo's salty pig hand and moved to the other side of the table to sit down, and then casually began to tidy up the Buddhist scriptures on the table that were messed up by Nangong Nuo.
Calm on the surface does not mean that there are no fluctuations in the heart.
At this moment, Meishuang only felt that there was a volcano in her heart that was about to erupt and was rampage looking for an exit everywhere. As long as the hateful man in front of her dared to say a word of useless, she unceremoniously spewed angry magma at him.
Well, just now she was still speculating who would pick her up. Although the first thing that came to mind was this demon, he quickly denied it, and then thought of a few people, and even Yi Jieyu took it into account, but he didn't expect that he would come in the end.
This doesn't mean that the emperor has always thought that she was this evil person, come to say hello to this guy, and immediately notify him to come and receive people!
The two of them will cooperate, obviously set up a game, and use her as a ball, whoever uses it will take it! Whose is it or whose is it when it runs out!
But what about her? Wearing a mask like a fool is like wearing a donkey, blindfolded, stupidly come to pray for the Queen Mother, no one cares about the whole process, no one asks, just like that, she came and went stupidly, almost poisoned to death, and almost scared to death by all kinds of serial fright
Alas, don't talk about it, it's all tears if you talk too much.
Your sister, now you're here.
I was in a good mood and happy, but who cared about what role I played in this game and how frightened I was during the whole process? Just this big green bag on the top of the forehead, Nima, I don't believe you didn't see it.
Seeing Mei Shuang's uncertain face, Nangong Nuo naturally knew what she was enduring her. In fact, he really saw the redness and swelling on Meishuang's forehead, and the speed hit the threshold, and it was a blessing not to die.
He could see the events of that night very clearly, and he was even more worried about Meishuang's fears that night. However, he wasn't sure if Meishuang still had memories of that night's events, and if he didn't have any memories, wouldn't he rashly mention this green bag to cause the horror of that night and make Meishuang suffer again? What's more, he saw Meishuang get up from the ground in a daze, and then return to the place where she had stood, maintaining the posture she had before the scene that frightened her to the extreme.
Actually, it's best if Meishuang forgets about it, after all, it's just an experiment, an unknown experiment. He himself didn't want Meishuang to be involved too much.
Unexpectedly, the green bag on the forehead that was deliberately ignored triggered the first big battle between the two people.
Nangong Nuo didn't realize that the anger accumulated in Mei Shuang's body was about to explode with the silence after he pretended to be stupid, he walked around to Mei Shuang, and smiled at the corner of his lips, "The Buddhist scriptures copied for the Queen Mother are very good"
Nima! Are you here to praise me?
Mei Shuang broke out on the spot, she slapped the Buddhist scripture copied in her hand on the table with a cold face, shook her shoulder again, shook off Nangong Nuo's hand holding her round shoulder, and sneered, "Really? It is a great honor to be praised by King Zhao. ”
Nangong Nuo was stunned for a moment, he stared at Mei Shuang, the smile on the corner of his lips slowly froze, and at the same time, Fang Cai's warm eyes also became cold.
It can be seen that Meishuang is really angry!
At this moment, she was obviously standing opposite her, but she deliberately looked out the window, raised her head slightly, her expression was cold, and she did not hide the cold arrogance in her eyes.
When did Nangong Nuo receive such a cold reception, and his instinctive pride also made him instantly feel that he had indulged this woman too much before.
