Chapter 10: King Rui
Shuang'er watched the young lady read it with a smile on her face, and was a little curious about what was written in it.
Tang Yanning repacked the letter, got up and went back to the room to pick up the pen and write another letter, then wrapped the three letters and a sachet with an embroidered handkerchief, turned his head to look at Shuang'er's puzzled eyes, and just smiled: "You will know the use of this letter in the future, now clean it up, and we will go to Qingquan Temple to pray for blessings later." ”
Shuang'er looked worried: "The eldest lady has always been strict, and the young lady is not allowed to go out without permission, without a valid reason, I am afraid that I will not let you out of the house." ”
Tang Yanning gave a reassuring look: "Don't worry, I have my own way." ”
When Shuang'er heard this, she immediately helped the young lady change into a plain snow silk skirt, put on a blue gauze overcoat, and her hair was simply curled up with a plain silver hairpin, and the fat powder on her face was not pure and beautiful, and then she took some things for incense and set off with the young lady.
As soon as Wen heard Tang Yanning's request to leave the house, she rejected it on the spot, but she had already thought of a countermeasure, and instantly changed her expression, and said with tears in her eyes that her deceased biological mother frequently dreamed, and she always cried and cried in her dreams, saying that she was so desolate underground, and if she didn't go to the temple to give her incense and make a vow, she would come to her in the middle of the night.
Tang Yanning's voice was full of emotion, and what she said was serious, and Wen Shi heard a cold sweat on her back, after all, she didn't want to see Aunt Qiu at the beginning, and she had made it difficult many times, as if she was really afraid that Aunt Qiu would come to the door, Wen let go of someone, and pretended to be calm and told Tang Yanning a few words, and sent the coachman Aman to accompany her.
Shuang'er looked at her young lady's exaggerated acting skills in front of Wen's, and really endured it all the way until she got into the carriage before laughing, Wen's was in a cold sweat when Miss said, she didn't find that Miss was so able to fool, Tang Yanning looked at Shuang'er laughing and couldn't help but remind, Shuang'er stopped laughing and sat aside.
The coachman Aman has been driving for many years, and he is so experienced that the carriage is fast and steady, and he will arrive at the foot of Qingquan Temple Mountain in a short time.
Qingquan Temple is located on the top of the mountain, in order to show sincerity on the way up the mountain is full of steps, the carriage is more inconvenient, Aman stayed at the foot of the mountain to watch the car, Tang Yanning and Shuang'er two hiked up.
Qingquan Temple is second only to the existence of the Royal Temple Jokhang Temple, up to the dignitaries, down to the common people all like to come to this temple to make incense and make vows, one is the abbot of Qingquan Temple is kind and broad, and does not set up the distinction between poor and lowly, and the other is surrounded by green shade outside Qingquan Temple, the scenery is beautiful, so it also attracts a lot of literati and ink writers to come and play.
After Tang Yanning married Lu Jinhua in his previous life, he liked to come to Qingquan Temple to pray for blessings, Lu Jinhua still doted on her at that time, and was quite indulgent in her entry and exit, and it was precisely because of this that Tang Yanning found that there was a dark gray carriage that would stop in the tree-lined path halfway every eighth day of the new year, and the carriage was a Huai wooden carriage that ordinary people in the capital could afford, and there was no sign. At first, Tang Yanning only thought that it was a young lady who was dating here, and he didn't think about it deeply.
Until one time passing by, a breeze lifted the corner of the curtain of the carriage......
The man in the car had bright eyebrows, a lofty instrument, and a purple gilt robe, Tang Yanning had the honor of seeing King Rui, so he recognized him at a glance.
There seemed to be another person next to him, dressed in a green shirt, but the curtain fell so fast that she didn't see the other person's face clearly.
It is rumored that King Rui has a staff member, named Qishan Jushi, who is talented and good at strategy, and it is with him that King Rui can finally stand out among the princes. It's just that this staff member is haunted and his whereabouts are secretive, so that no one has ever seen his dignity!
In her previous life, she guessed that the people who gathered here on the tenth day of the first month were Qishan monks and Rui Wang.
Although she knows a lot of secrets from her previous life, she is now weak, and even if she masters it, she may not be able to play a role, so she can only reveal it to King Rui, who has been in power in the court in the past two years and has quickly driven King Liang, and it is best to let King Rui check, not only will she not expose herself, but she can also achieve her goal!
Tang Yanning took Shuang'er to this forest path and saw a dark gray carriage, although there seemed to be no one around the vehicle, but she knew that there must be secret guards patrolling everywhere!
Tang Yanning instructed Shuang'er to wait for her on the main road ahead, and then walked to the jungle next to the carriage.
She took the handkerchief she had tied, a few letters and a bag were a bit light after all, and turned around and found a pebble in the ground and wrapped it in the handkerchief.
The curtain of the carriage was slightly floated by the breeze from time to time, Tang Yanning looked at the carriage, and gestured back and forth twice with a handkerchief in his hand, feeling a little nervous, he had no martial arts, what if he didn't throw it in? What if I throw it in and hit the King? Do you want to change to a smaller stone?
Forget it, don't think about it, throw it away first!
Aiming at the window, the right hand threw violently, and the small cloth bag slammed into the carriage with a whistling wind! As soon as he saw that he threw it in, Tang Yanning didn't care if he would hit someone, so he turned around and ran!
In the car, King Rui was discussing important matters with the Qishan monks, and suddenly felt a cold wind coming from his ears, as if mixed with something, and King Rui reflexively reached out to catch it. I thought it was a dagger and a dark arrow or something, but when I looked down, it turned out to be a cloth bag wrapped in a handkerchief......
King Rui hurriedly opened the curtain of the car and looked out, only to see a blue corner of his clothes gradually disappearing, and his back was slender, like a girl.
The secret guards also heard the movement here and hurriedly rushed over, seeing that the prince was safe and sound, he was ready to chase, and as soon as he raised his foot, he heard a low and cold voice from the carriage: "You don't have to chase, this person has no malicious intent!" ”
King Rui waved his hand, and the guards scattered again!
"How can the gentleman conclude that this man has no malice?" King Rui asked suspiciously.
"Guess."
“……”
The man known as Mr. has a face like a crown of jade, an elegant temperament, dressed in a green coat, a belt around his waist, his clothes are clean and neat, a pair of black eyes are deep and bright, he gestures, quiet and introverted, if he does not speak, he looks like a weak scholar.
That's right, this weak scholar is Gu Xiucai, who has failed the list for three consecutive years! It is also the rumored Qishan monk.
"Maybe there is a woman who has taken a fancy to the prince, so she sent a token!" Looking at King Rui's serious question, Gu Huaisheng couldn't help but tease.
King Rui's appearance is the best among the five princes, he is handsome and dashing, graceful and suave, and every time he walks on the street, there is always a girl who throws some handkerchiefs and other things into the carriage to show his love.
King Rui shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Sir, don't make fun of me, Jing Xiu has no intention of having children now!" ”
"Let's see what's inside?"
The cloth bag seemed to have some weight, and King Rui opened it and saw three letters, a bag, and a stone......
There are two letters that seem to be from a long time ago, the envelope is surrounded by light red borders, and a bunch of small block letters in the middle are written by Lu Jinzhao himself, and a few peonies are embellished under the handwriting, which is a common style used by women to show their love nowadays. Another one should have just been written, with a newer envelope and a mediocre style. The envelope said that King Rui personally opened it, King Rui picked out this letter and opened it after reading it, his expression was very shocked for a while, and then became solemn, as if the letter was a very secret to be said, and then solemnly handed the letter to Gu Huaisheng.
Gu Huaisheng also frowned after reading it.
