Chengqian Palace

Xia Jin and the queen heard about Liu Ye.

The queen groaned after hearing this, Xia Jin looked at it and asked softly, "Niangniang, do you want to go to see the princess?"

The queen shook her head and said: "There is this palace in the palace to protect her, after getting married, she will live independently, in the past she was always confused, this palace looked very worried, now she can deal with the matter of willow leaves like this, this palace is relieved." ”

You must not be soft on those who betray, otherwise she will be the one who suffers in the end!

Mohe Garden

Peng Mo stood in front of the window, looking out with unfocused eyes, I don't know when she started, she likes rainy days, and the sound of raindrops falling is crisp and quiet, so that her complicated heart gets a temporary peace.

Lian Feng walked in and saw Peng Mo by the window, her shallow and soft figure seemed to be exposed to a layer of impenetrable fog, a little lonely and a little distant, it seemed that she was always separated by a distance, and she couldn't get close and couldn't touch it.

Picked up the cloak on the hanger, put it on her shoulder, and asked softly, "Miss, what books do you bring with you when you go out tomorrow?"

Peng Mo came back to his senses, gathered the cloak on his shoulders, turned to look at Lianfeng, pointed to the neatly arranged stack of books on the desk, and said, "Take all of them with you." ”

"Yes. Mercy agreed to put the book in the cage, and put the cage in the luggage area where he needed to take it tomorrow.

Peng Mo looked at the begonia flowers in the corner of the table, his godless eyes were instantly moist and soft, his cherry lips were slightly upturned, with an intoxicating arc, and he smiled: "In the past few days when I am away, you have to take good care of this pot of begonia flowers, and move it out to bask in the sun when the sun is good." ”

Lian Feng looked at the white begonia on the corner of the table, Peng Mo always had to spend most of the day on reading books and practicing calligraphy, and now she put this flower on the desk, it must be extremely cherished, and listened to her special instructions, did not dare to slack off, and nodded busily.

Diligent Palace

In the emperor's first case, a little eunuch walked in from the outside and stood outside the door to look at the emperor's father-in-law Su.

Gonggong Su walked down, came to the little eunuch, and asked, "What's the matter?"

The little eunuch saluted Gonggong Su and said in a low voice: "Father-in-law, it's the Zhao family in the prison, who has been clamoring to see the emperor, and said that there is something important to tell the emperor, and the people below heard it, and they didn't dare to ignore it and handed over the news!"

Gonggong Su frowned when he heard this, and reprimanded in a low voice: "You are also bold, why do you dare to spread any news?"

The little eunuch didn't know what he meant, but seeing that Father-in-law Su was angry, he didn't defend himself, and hurriedly bowed his head and confessed.

Gonggong Su shook his head, with a look of hatred that iron is not steel, and said, "Miscellaneous family go and ask the emperor, you are waiting here." ”

The little eunuch hurriedly said yes.

Gonggong Su came to the emperor's side, put the tea at the right temperature in the emperor's hand, and said, "Your Majesty, you have been approving it for a long time, drink a cup of tea and rest your eyes." ”

When the emperor heard this, he put down the fold, rubbed his eyebrows, and took a sip of tea.

Gonggong Su looked at the emperor's blue and black face, and muttered a little in his heart, the emperor has been in an extremely irritable mood these days, and there are not a few palace maids and eunuchs who have been punished, and the reason why the emperor is irritable is Zhao Qingshui.

Now this little eunuch who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead has passed on the words in the prison, he already knows that if he doesn't tell the emperor, if something happens in the future, it will be his responsibility, but if he tells the emperor now, he may be punished immediately.

hesitated in his heart, secretly scolded the little eunuch for not knowing how to do things, and complained that Zhao Qingshui would not stop staying in prison.

The emperor looked at Father-in-law Su, who was speechless and stopped, and frowned: "If you have something to say, just say it!"

Hearing this, Gonggong Su came back to his senses, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the Zhao family in the prison said that he wanted to see you." ”

The former Xiang Concubine Niangniang has been stripped of her title, so now she can only be called Zhao!

When the emperor heard this, he put the tea cup in his hand on the table, and the tea splashed out and fainted on the bright yellow desk.

Looking at Father-in-law Su, he shouted stiffly: "I see that you are becoming more and more unable to do things now? Could it be that people are getting old and their brains are not good?"

Gonggong Su was shocked when he heard this, bent his knees, and said on the ground: "The emperor is angry, and the slave should be punished!"

The emperor looked at the people on the ground, shook his head and said, "You are also the one who has accepted apprentices now... Let's go down!"

After all, Father-in-law Su is a person who has served the emperor for decades, and even if he does something unsmart now, the emperor is willing to save some face for him in front of his apprentices.

"The slave thanked the emperor for his grace of not punishing. Father-in-law Su was grateful for the emperor's loving act, kowtowed and bowed down.

Since then, all the palace maids and eunuchs serving in the Qinzheng Palace have known the emperor's thoughts about the concubines, and the news of the prison has never been transmitted again.

On the second day, the rain stopped, and after the autumn rains, the weather became cooler.

Peng's and Peng Mo's shared a carriage, Peng Hao was alone in a carriage, heading towards Nanshan Jiaye Temple, because Nanshan Jiaye Temple was far away from Beijing, it took more than half a day to take a carriage, so they rushed early, and they went out of the house in the morning.

There is a wide official road all the way, and even though it is a little muddy after the rain, it is not difficult to walk.

In the afternoon, the group arrived at the Kaya Temple.

The presiding master, Xici, waited outside the temple gate, and after seeing the carriage approaching, he said a word of Buddha on his chin.

When Peng saw it, he hurriedly got out of the carriage with his children, came to Master Xici, folded his hands, bowed down and said reverently: "Amitabha." ”

Xici looked at a few people, and said with a slight smile: "Mrs. Peng, the county lord of Huining, the third prince of Peng, you have come from afar, you have worked hard all the way, and the clean guest rooms in the temple have been sorted out, do you want to rest first?"

Peng Mo looked at the temple gate of Jiaye Temple, although it was not dilapidated, but it was not brand new and clean, and there was thick moss growing under the corner of the wall.

Without a trace, he looked at the Xici host who was about to cooperate, he was dressed in a robe, with a medium figure, a white face, a little shrewdness in the corners of his eyes, and a little worldly sleekness.

The conversation is more approachable than Kongwu, perhaps because the Jiaye Temple is not as many pilgrims as the Huangjue Temple.

Peng was a little flattered by Xici's politeness, and hurriedly said: "The master doesn't have to be polite, the quiet place of Buddhism does not dare to be arrogant." ”

Xi Ci smiled lightly. "Madame is serious, please follow the poor monk into the temple to rest. ”

Peng thanked him and followed Xici to the guest house.

"Mother, the scenery here is really quiet, and the air is very fresh. Peng Mo took Peng's arm and looked at the scenery on the mountain outside the temple wall, with a happy face.

"Yes, yes. Peng looked at the temple, although it was not as magnificent, regular and orderly as Huangjue Temple, but it was also quiet and pleasant, comfortable and quiet.

Peng Hao smiled when he heard this: "If my mother and sister like it, let's stay for a few more days." ”

Peng nodded, although the Huangjue Temple is large, but there are many pilgrims, it is not as quiet here, and it is another state of mind to visit the Buddha here.

As soon as the group walked outside the guest house, they saw a person sitting on a stone chair under a large cypress tree next to them.

This person is wearing a green shirt, with the same calm on his pale face, his lips are lightly pursed and he has lost his previous light smile, which looks a little tough, he holds the Buddhist scriptures in his hand, and sits on the stone chair under the cypress tree, the valley wind blows, driving the corners of his clothes, and the delicate and weak appearance suddenly has a feeling of fluttering.

And he seemed to notice someone approaching, and his eyes were removed from the book, and his unwavering eyes were looking at them.

If it's not Wei Yingran, who is it!

Peng Hao frowned slightly, looked at Peng Mo, and said softly: "It's Wei Shizi!"

Since Peng Mo said that Wei Yingran was not simple, Peng Hao couldn't look at this sick and weak son with his previous mentality, and now he was not surprised to see him in this slippery and remote Jiaye Temple.

It wasn't until now that Peng Hao realized that he had already believed Peng Mo's statement to Wei Yingran in his heart.

Peng Mo looked at him, and after touching his peaceful eyes, his moist eyes crossed a trace of emotion that was not easy to see, and then lowered his eyes and stood quietly beside Peng's side.

At this time, Wei Yingran had already stood up and walked towards them with one hand on his back.

With a light smile on his face, he looked at them and said, "I have seen Mrs. Wuying." As he spoke, he nodded to each other with Peng Hao and Peng Mo.

"It's Wei Shizi, you also come here to make incense?" Peng saw Wei Yingran at the banquet in his early years, and today he sees that although he has grown up, he is still delicate and elegant, so it is not difficult to recognize.

Wei Yingran listened to Peng's words, smiled lightly, and said softly: "Shangxiang is one of them, and I also heard that the scenery of Jiaye Temple is wonderful, so I came here to stay for a few days." ”

Peng was surprised and said, "The prince is also here to live?"

Wei Yingran smiled humorously and said, "Listening to Mrs. Wu Ying's tone, you are also here to stay? As he spoke, he looked at Peng Mo behind Peng's meaningfully.

Peng Mo felt his gaze and ignored it, a chance encounter? It's a well-designed "chance encounter", right?

Peng Hao looked at Wei Yingran, raised his eyebrows and said, "Yesterday's heavy rain, the silent night stopped, when did the prince arrive?"

Seeing that they were chatting happily, Xici couldn't help but interject, and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence, Wei Shizi just arrived at our temple for an hour!"

Peng Hao nodded when he heard this, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "That's really a coincidence!" The tone was a little heavier, as if emphasizing, Wei Yingran listened and smiled faintly.

Peng Mo shook Peng's arm lightly, and said in a low voice: "Mother, let's rest first, I'm tired after walking for most of the day." ”

Although the voice was small, Wei Yingran still heard it, it was rare to see her so gentle and petty, looked at her and smiled lightly, and said: "Yes, I just want to stay here for a few days, let's talk later, now let's let the county lord of Huining rest." ”

Peng was very satisfied with Wei Yingran's thoughtfulness, nodded in agreement, and left with Peng Mo.

The guest courtyard of the Jiaye Temple is built on the mountain, and the scenery does not need to be detailed, and the rows of elegant courtyards are very pleasing to the heart.

The courtyard prepared by Xici for Peng's and Peng Mo is a small courtyard with two entrances, divided into east and west wings, one for Peng's family, one for Peng Mo, and Peng Hao lives in the courtyard next door.

After resting, Peng Mo came to Peng Hao's small courtyard, which had the same layout as the courtyard where they lived.

Peng Hao frowned and asked, "Mo'er, do you believe that Wei Yingran came here just by coincidence?"

Peng Mo raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "Of course I don't believe it, so I've already asked Liuying to pass the word back and find the person who delivered the news for Wei Yingran in the mansion." ”
