Chapter Forty-Seven: Long Overdue Future

When Xue Xue arrived at the back door of the main hall, she happened to see the last few monks enter the main hall, and it seemed that she had just caught up with the time.

After a series of accidents just now, Yi Xue has been reborn, her body and heart have found her rightful place, and because of the little monk named Hui Lin just now, she loves the house and Wu, and she feels a little kind to every brick and tile of this Buddhist temple, and her courage is getting bigger and bigger, and she sneaks into the main hall with a flash.

Everyone in the hall was already in place, and the snow behind the Buddha statue looked sideways to the front, and vaguely saw the familiar figures, their manners, clothes, and hair buns...... Yi Xue immediately withdrew her side body and put her hand on her heaving chest, not seeing her for seven years, as if she was in another world.

The honor guards of those palace people are still a little beyond Yi Xue's imagination, after all, such a big scene when she was a child, she only quietly hid behind the rockery to peek at it, and Yi Xue tried to adjust her breathing to calm down.

When her thoughts returned to calm, Yi Xue looked up at the roof, there was a tile that had been moved slightly, revealing a glimmer of light, that should be where Sima Cheng was, Yi Xue remembered that in the past few days in King Jing's Mansion, everyone made suggestions for themselves, she clenched her fists, which was considered to cheer herself up, and her determination and belief also added a point.

In front of the Buddha, everyone is in place, and the abbot begins to chant according to the system.

On the back of the Buddha statue, Yu Xue is attentively observing the various conditions in the main hall. She didn't know much about Buddhism, but the chanting was as loud as a bell and incessant, and as she listened, she began to feel that her body became sometimes heavy, sometimes fluttering, and slowly seemed to be able to float far away.

Yi Xue was close to the Buddha statue, and couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine, but this feeling was uncontrollable, so a sense of fear arose, and Yi Xue shivered coldly.

Obviously it was only a big Buddha separated by a distance, but the Buddha behind the snow felt as if there were two worlds with the people in front of the Buddha.

And from a certain time, the person who recites the sutra has changed from the abbot to the monks singing together, and the chanting is faint, gentle, and continuous, hovering over the high beams of the main hall, from the temple door, from the gaps between the roof tiles.

The sound of Zen leisurely, knocking on the stone of the balcony, smiling at the scene of the burning fire, accompanying the moss of the tombstone, playing with the deep bell of the ancient temple, looking at the tower of Qiyun from afar, sharpening the pen of the stone carving. Turning around, the voice jumped lightly over the pine and cypress forests, lingering in the lush bamboo and pouring over the grass.

The sound of Zen stops, the light and shadow are on the sun, the Buddha statue is dyed with gold, and the state of returning to the light is returned, and a figure is plated with light, and the rules of the ancient temple will be broken at this moment.

……

Yi Xue sat alone in the empty meditation room, Sima Cheng was somewhere outside the door, secretly protecting Yi Xue's safety, the last prayer came from the main hall, just now everything seemed to have happened as if it hadn't happened, and the ancestor worship ceremony was carrying out the final ritual in an orderly manner.

Yes, Xue Xue, she, succeeded!

This thrilling scene has evolved countless times in Yi Xue's mind, but he didn't expect that when he arrived, it was so calm, or just a wave behind him.

Yi Xue appeared, the main hall was full of ten people, the Empress Dowager Xun's surprised eyes revealed a trace of joy, the personal maid Aunt Yao Xiu was happy but her eyes were mixed with a little uneasiness, the steward eunuch Song Gao cried with joy, and the father-in-law Cao Renbai on the side had a complicated look, as if he was thinking about something.

The broken rosary rope, the "prince" who fell from the sky, who knows whether it is happy or sad.

At this moment, the place where Yi Xue is staying is the resting place prepared by the temple for the Empress Dowager Xun, after today's ancestor worship, the Queen Mother will also stay in the White Horse Temple for a few days to express her condolences to the first emperor, and the sudden appearance of Yi Xue will not change all this, of course, this is also the meaning of Yi Xue, or the decision after discussing with Sima Jing and others.

At the same time, Yi Xue asked the Empress Dowager Xun to order the blockade of the news of Sima Ji's appearance, but the news was quietly transmitted to King Jing's mansion, it was Prince Jing who sent someone to save their sister and brother, and now she is close to King Jing It is understandable, Empress Dowager Xun did not suspect it, and did it truthfully, so that Sima Cheng appeared later, and it became logical.

This is just the first step towards the Luojing Imperial City, and the next step is the real sea of swords and fires, and the steps are difficult.

Yi Xue understands this truth, and Empress Dowager Xun also understands it.

After the noon meal, Yi Xue sat down face to face with Empress Dowager Xun for the first time.

Empress Dowager Xun's original name was Xun Xianlan, born in the scholarly Xun family, naturally familiar with poetry and books, so as to have the same interests as Yi Xue's mother, Yi Xue often saw her in the concubine's bedroom, although she was able to give birth to a son and a half daughter for Da Yu, but she was also sincerely good to herself and her younger brother, which she kept in mind.

Empress Dowager Xun has a dignified demeanor and gentleness, but there is a trace of weakness and reluctance under the decent smile, Yi Xue doesn't understand why Empress Dowager Xun has hidden joy in her eyes when she sees her, but in the process of seven years of power change and change, the person who can sit firmly in the position of the Empress Dowager is either exhausted and lustful for profit or forced to be coerced.

The Empress Dowager Xun in front of her may be the latter.

Empress Dowager Xun stepped forward and held Yi Xue's hand, Yi Xue was startled, after all, she was a child who had seen someone, she was afraid that Empress Dowager Xun would see her identity, so she took her hand back in a panic and lowered her head, Empress Dowager Xun was stunned at first, and her expression was a little stunned, but she quickly changed back to that decent face, withdrew her hand, and said to Yi Xue:

"Ah Ji is a big child, and the queen mother is negligent."

Yi Xue is not unwilling to be close to her, although her own mother is older and the Empress Dowager Xun, the current Empress Dowager Xun is the same age as the Tao Guifei back then, the two were like sisters back then, and they had love for themselves, how could Yi Xue not want to be close to her.

Moreover, if the Empress Dowager Xun is really forced to become the Empress Dowager, then the eight achievements are done by Sima Lie, and the enemy of the enemy is a friend, and in the future, the Empress Dowager Xun and the Xun family may become the arms of Yi Xue. Xue Xue replied:

"Queen Mother, you are too worried, your son has been in the folk for a long time, and his skin is rough and thick, so I am afraid that my mother will feel uncomfortable."

As soon as Yi Xue's words came out, Empress Dowager Xun instantly turned red, hurriedly walked up to her, looked at Yi Xue with concern, and said:

"Ji'er, let you suffer, you are like this, how can I be worthy of your mother's spirit in the sky."

Xun Xianlan's voice was a little choked, and the distress and love revealed in her words made Yi Xue unbearable, so she took the initiative to hug the Empress Dowager Xun, patted her back gently, and said comfortingly:

"Ah Ji has never forgotten when my mother took my poetry book when I was a child, Xun Niangniang secretly helped me behind my back, Ah Ji has always been thinking about Xun Niangniang, and now I want Xun Niangniang to bother, Ah Ji is deeply ashamed."

When she was a child, when her mother took Sima Ji's poetry book, Yi Xue would also stand aside, so she naturally knew that Xun Xianlan had helped him, and at this moment Yi Xue deliberately mentioned it, on the one hand, to appease the Empress Dowager Xun, and on the other hand, to emphasize her identity to convince her.

Empress Dowager Xun couldn't help shedding tears when she heard Yi Xue mention the past, and she was more convinced of Yi Xue's identity, feeling that it was Luo Yang's soul that protected her child, and she also believed that it was the Buddha who sent Sima Ji back to Dayu.

The two eased their emotions and sat down again, Empress Dowager Xun asked some things about Yi Xue in the people, and Yi Xue said truthfully, Yi Xue was a man Tao Xi in the people, and there was nothing to hide.

Empress Dowager Xun suddenly thought of something and asked with concern:

"Ji'er, what about your imperial sister Yixue?"
