Chapter 36: The Temple of the Reclining Buddha in distress

"So you say, Lin Yufu's sword dance last night was very good?" Zhao Yuru was lying in front of the ancestral hall of the Zhao family, staring at the imperial treasure knife inside, and asked Taole beside him without raising his head.

"Yes, it was said that King Huaiyang still wanted to accept her as a concubine, but she and the emperor refused!"

"Oops! It's a loss! Zhao Yuru patted her thigh and sat on the side and said, "If she agrees, I will be the princess in exchange!" โ€

"What did you say, Miss?" Domoku didn't hear it.

"Nope!" Zhao Yuru stood up straight, stretched his waist and said, "The gems on this scabbard are all real?" โ€

Doraku looked at the knife with some puzzlement, then nodded and said, "Yes, the gift of the emperor, of course it's true!" โ€

"Wow, that's worth a lot of money!" Zhao Yuru bit her fingers and thought to herself, how could she cut off this gem for some money. The pocket money that Zhao Guanming gave her was really pitiful, and Yu Lu had not yet been distributed.

Of course, even if it is, it is not enough for her to squander.

"Let's get the treasure chest back, she's useless anyway!" Zhao Yuru muttered to himself.

"Little sister!" At this time, Tian came over, took the bag that had been packed, handed it to her and said: "Everything is ready, it will be cold in the mountains at night, remember to cover an extra bed with the futon!" โ€

"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Zhao Yuru took the burden from Tian's hand and showed a sincere smile. Although she is not used to it, these people are really good to her. On weekdays, the two big men are busy outside, and the one she spends the most time with is this Tian.

These days, I have also experienced what it means to be a sister-in-law like a mother.

The place she is going to today is the Reclining Buddha Temple, and she has already agreed with Lin Yufu. I heard that Master Mu Chen of the Reclining Buddha Temple is an enlightened monk, so they went to ask what was going on.

Of course, she told her family to ask for peace. Zhao Guanming didn't ask much, but said that the vicinity of the Reclining Buddha Temple had not been peaceful recently, and someone had found the figure of the Northern Barbarians. Let Zhao Yuru go this time and check it by the way.

Zhao Yuru was a little speechless in her heart, the vicinity of the Reclining Buddha Temple is not peaceful, shouldn't you send more guards to your baby daughter?

According to the usual practice, she naturally went to find Song Moqing before going out.

"Champion Lang! Champion Lang? She shouted as she walked into the Zhuangyuan Mansion, and after yesterday's "life-and-death struggle", there seemed to be a lot less estrangement between the two.

"Miss Zhao!" Song Moqing hurriedly walked out of the room with a book in her hand.

"Oh, my future husband is here!" She ran forward with a smile and was about to hug Song Moqing with her arms outstretched, but as if he had already taken precautions, he dodged to the side, making Zhao Yuru pounce.

"You're bad at learning now!" Zhao Yuru said with some dissatisfaction: "Your hand is okay, right?" โ€

"Thank you Miss Zhao for your concern, it's no big deal." Song Moqing smiled softly and said, "It's Miss Zhao, I heard that since you are going to the Reclining Buddha Temple, you must be careful on the way!" I heard that there are bandits there again recently! โ€

Zhao Yuru's face stiffened, and then said: "Don't worry, if I meet you again this time, there will definitely be no fish that slip through the net!" โ€

"This time, Lord Zhao should send troops to protect you, don't worry."

"And send troops?" Zhao Yuru rolled her eyes at the thought of it.

"He gave me twenty guards, he said, there are too many people, the target is too big, and those mountain bandits probably won't come out. I guess he's going to use me as bait! โ€

"Twenty?" Song Moqing was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Twenty is enough!" With Miss Zhao's talents, twenty people can let you sweep away the mountain bandits! โ€

"What a joke!" Zhao Yuru's eyes widened and said, "Twenty? But this time, my father didn't plan for me to exterminate them, but just asked me to find out whether the people who were infested there were ordinary mountain bandits or northern barbarians. If it's an ordinary mountain bandit, we'll be destroyed, and if it's a northern barbarian, then it's troublesome! โ€

"Northern Barbarians?" Song Moqing was also stunned, and hurriedly said, "Then Miss Zhao, you have to be more careful!" Otherwise, I'll go with you! โ€

Zhao Yuru glanced at him and immediately frowned.

"Gee, do you care about me?" She stepped forward, touched his chin and said, "Otherwise, we will become relatives when we come back!" I really can't wait! โ€

Song Moqing's face flushed, and he took a step back and said, "I was thinking, if something happens, I can also help like last night!" โ€

"Okay, I appreciate your kindness. But I feel like if you don't follow me, I'll live a little longer! Zhao Yuru mercilessly rejected his request, besides, her main purpose this time was not to suppress the bandits, she just wanted to change her body back, maybe she would change it back, and really Zhao Yuru could really take twenty people to destroy the bandits.

"Alright, I'm leaving!" Seeing that the time was almost up, she didn't say much, waved her hand and strode away.

"Miss Zhao!" Song Moqing hurriedly chased after him, and said with a red face: "That, I am also familiar with the art of war, but after all, it is only on paper." If Miss Zhao doesn't dislike it, she can come to the house to ask for advice when she has time in the future! โ€

When Zhao Yuru heard this, her eyes rolled, and she grabbed Song Moqing's hand and said, "This is what you said!" You took the initiative to invite me to your house! โ€

Song Moqing hurriedly took a step back, and then nodded a little shyly.

"Okay!" Zhao Yuru promised and left happily.

And Lin Yufu also packed up her baggage, after yesterday's incident, her status in the palace is different. She is the only woman in King Huaiyang who wants to be the princess, and now people outside are saying that she is Yan Linjun's true love, and the words of those talented and beautiful women have new content.

"You mean, yesterday Mr. Zhao played a song "Breaking the Array" at the birthday banquet of the princess's daughter, and won the applause of the audience?"

"Yes! Someone spread it yesterday! Xincha nodded and said: "In the past, I always thought that Mr. Zhao was very fierce, but when she went to Qinyunju that day and ordered me to enter the palace with you, I thought she was quite amiable!" โ€

Lin Yufu smiled slightly, lowered his head and took a sip of tea.

"But girl, how did you get to her? I haven't seen you and her before. Shincha asked as she brushed her hair.

"Me?" Lin Yufu was stunned, thought for a while and said: "That day, the two of us suffered together, and it was Mr. Zhao who took the trouble to carry me ashore, but his whereabouts are unknown. I am grateful in my heart, and naturally I will be closer to her. โ€

"I've heard of this, that Mr. Zhao is really righteous!" Xincha smiled and said, "But girl, I find that you are different now than before. โ€

"Huh?" Lin Yufu raised her head, looked at her and said, "Why is it different?" โ€

"I just feel that you are more calm than before, and you used to be more spicy!" Xincha smiled embarrassedly and said, "The girls in Qinyunju are afraid of you, even your mother is afraid of you!" Sometimes you get angry and the guests dare to hit you. But even so, they can't do anything about you! โ€

"So?" Lin Yufu thought about Zhao Yuru's way of dragging the hair of the Yulin County Lord that day, it was really a little spicy.

"With such a look, no matter how spicy the temper is, it can be tolerated!" Lin Yufu took the initiative to wipe the lipstick for the first time, and the new tea reminded himself that the biggest capital of pampering and arrogance is appearance.

"But girl, do you say that the prince is sincere to you?" Shincha whispered in her ear.

"How do I know?" Lin Yufu said with a wry smile.

"Why don't you know?" Xincha glared and said, "You used to look at men accurately!" The sisters in the building, if you meet someone who wants to redeem yourself, they all come to ask you! If you say that man is reliable, that is reliable. You say that the man can't do it, that's not good! Why can't you do it yourself? โ€

Lin Yufu was silent, how could she compare with before, Lin Yufu in the past, the men she had seen were like Jiang Zhiqing, whether they were good or bad, you could see it with a smile. And I, when I grew so big, was messed up by myself for the only time I was excited.

"Girl, Mr. Zhao is ready to pick you up outside the house!" Yin Dong walked in, with a prepared burden in his hands.

"Good!" Hearing that Zhao Yuru was coming, her eyes finally had some light.

Xincha and Yindong helped her to the gate of the palace, but they didn't expect Yan Linjun to be here.

Zhao Yuru was in the carriage and saw Yan Linjun's figure through the window.

"Started to give up? Then I'm going to get rid of the prince? She muttered.

Lin Yufu didn't expect Yan Linjun to be at the door, after all, he almost killed her yesterday.

Of course, it's not the first time that she has been killed. That little bit of goodwill has long disappeared in this repeated competition and suspicion.

Although she has never experienced the affairs of men and women, she is not stupid, Yan Linjun's words yesterday, and that kiss, she will not take it seriously.

"Lord Wang!" She bowed expressionlessly.

"It's cool in the mountains, have you brought more clothes?" Yan Linjun greeted Lin Yufu softly with that flawless gentleness as usual.

This hypocritical appearance, isn't he tired of acting?

"Well, I'm bothered by the prince!"

Yan Linjun looked at the carriage where Zhao Yuru was sitting, and then slowly stepped forward with his hands behind his back and knocked on her window.

"What's the matter with the prince?" Zhao Yuru reluctantly opened the car window.

"Yufu is weak, and along the way, I asked the head coach to take care of me more!"

"Do you care so much?" Zhao Yuru thought it was funny, leaned on the car window and asked, "I heard that the prince told the emperor yesterday that he wanted to make her a concubine!" Really? โ€

Yan Linjun's expression froze, and then he said with a light smile: "Naturally, it's true!" In front of the emperor, does this king dare to tell lies? โ€

"But she is a Qinglou woman, and the gap between you is insurmountable!"

"That's just what you see, and there is no chasm between us in the king's eyes!"

Zhao Yuru listened, this is different from that nerd, that nerd shouts all day long that he is not worthy of it.

"Marry a wife and marry a virtuous man, if you marry a woman in a green house, you will be poked in the back! She can't manage this palace either! โ€

"Marry a wife and marry a virtuous?" Yan Linjun smiled disdainfully: "It's just a rhetoric used to persuade yourself because you can't marry your beloved." For me, marrying a wife is the person in my heart, whether I am virtuous or not has nothing to do with me, this palace, she can manage it if she wants, and she can manage it in any way. If we don't want to care, we will give up this square wall, the south and the north, and live happily! โ€

Zhao Yuru was speechless, yes, Zhuang Yuanlang couldn't marry Xu Zhaoyi, so he chose himself. After all, according to him, there is no more "virtuous" woman in this Dayan than himself.

"Oh, lord, you really shouldn't have said these words to me!" She quickly put away her wry smile and said nonchalantly: "If you don't leave, you won't be able to get to the temple in time for dark!" Just for your infatuation, I will ask for a talisman for you to make your wishes come true! โ€

"Then there will be work!"

Yan Linjun took a step back, glanced back at Lin Yufu, who was standing straight, did not speak, turned around and returned to the mansion.

Lin Yufu got into the car and saw that his carriage had been transformed into a comfortable one by Zhao Yuru, and he was really a little unaccustomed to it.

"Sit casually, I'm big, I'm wronged that you're squeezing!" Zhao Yuru was slumped aside, his mouth kept eating snacks.

"You'll enjoy it, and take my father's precious tiger skin to the carriage!"

"Your father took the initiative to give it, saying that I was rewarded for my meritorious work in catching thieves yesterday! It's a bumpy ride on the way to the Wat Pho Temple, I don't lay it here, and I can't be turned upside down? โ€

"Don't die, unlucky! We marching and fighting people are the most taboo about this! โ€

"It turns out that you still know taboos!" Zhao Yuru muttered and handed her the food box.

"Eat!"

Looking at the tempting dim sum, Lin Yufu did not refuse. After all, in this world, eating is one of her few hobbies.

But I just took two bites and put it down.

"I can't eat it!" She said with a sigh.

"If you can't eat it, it's right! If you eat too much, how can you dance the sword dance that everyone praises? Zhao Yuru licked his fingers and said, "Tell me, how can you do that?" โ€

"It's just our family swordsmanship, and I'll teach you two tricks this time, so as not to show your stuffing!" Lin Yufu said lightly.

"Exposed? It seems that you are ready to not be able to change back this time! Zhao Yuru said with a blank look.

"No, I'm just ยทยทยทยทยทยท" Lin Yufu hurriedly explained, but after thinking about it for a while, she really didn't have much hope this time.

"I'm sorry!" She bowed her head.

Zhao Yuru sighed and touched his thick thighs. Although she was very comfortable in the Zhao family and was very happy when she teased Song Moqing, she still didn't adapt to it and still wanted to change it back.

"Forget it, it's useless to talk about this now, if we really can't get it back. I just ask you to take good care of my body, I have been carefully raising it for so many years, you see your tiger's mouth, there are cocoons! โ€

Lin Yufu lowered his head, indeed, yesterday was just a sword dance, and there were calluses in the tiger's mouth. She subconsciously wanted to reach out and pull it out.

"Oops, don't pull it out! When you get to the temple, you first go to soak in hot water and remember to rub the balm. Soak it in goat's milk when you come back. New tea is also made for you on weekdays, right? Zhao Yuru hurriedly grabbed her hand.

"Hmm!" Lin Yufu nodded and said, "Yes, take a bath every day and wipe your whole body with balm." The hair is also treated with high-quality tea oil, and the nails are repaired every three days. Shincha said that even if you stay in the room all day, you have to dress yourself up. โ€

Hearing this, Zhao Yuru smiled with satisfaction.

"Oh, this girl of Xincha, she didn't hurt her in vain!"

"Actually, I'm quite curious, have you used to live like this every day?"

"yes!" Zhao Yuru nodded and said, "Just like you get up every day to practice, this is also my practice." Otherwise, you think Oiran is so good! โ€

"Got it! Don't worry, I'll take good care of your body! โ€

"Good!" Zhao Yuru scratched her chin and said, "Then I will also take good care of your body and feed her well!" โ€

Lin Yufu blushed and leaned to the side to close her eyes to recuperate.

The carriage swayed for a long time, and finally came to Wat Pho before dark.

"My old waist!" Zhao Yuru held his waist and got out of the car with the help of Taole.

Although this reclining Buddha temple is an ancient temple in the deep mountains, the incense is very vigorous. She looked at the carriage on the side and said with some curiosity, "Whose carriage is this?" โ€

"It's Mrs. Marquis of Splendid Fang!" The little novice who greeted them said respectfully.

"Oh!" Zhao Yuru didn't take it seriously and walked in with Taole. But Lin Yufu seemed to think of something, glanced at the carriage, and then said, "Mrs. Hou of Jinxiufang? Which is it? โ€

"Which one else? Master Hou has only one wife! The little novice replied with a smile.

Lin Yufu glanced at Yin Dong, Yin Dong knew what she wanted to ask, nodded and said, "Mrs. Hou of Jinxiufang is the original Mrs. Jing in our house!" โ€

"So coincidentally?" She muttered softly, but didn't think much of it, and followed Yin Dong and the others into the temple.

Because it was already night, Master Mu Chen had already rested. So they went back to their room after fasting. Wat Pho is not big, and there are not many wings. Zhao Yuru naturally lived with Lin Yufu.

"That Mrs. Hou, do you know?" She looked at Lin Yufu who was making the bed and asked.

"Well, she turned out to be the prince's favorite concubine! Later, it was given to Master Hou. โ€

"Oh?" Zhao Yuru got up: "Still like this?" That's a lot of fun! Check it out! โ€

"See what?"

"Look at what that Mrs. Hou looks like?" Zhao Yuru said with a smile: "Aren't you curious? โ€

Lin Yufu glanced at her, shook her head and said, "I'm not curious!" โ€

"It's boring! Then I'll go myself! Zhao Yuru clapped her hands, and then walked out.

Lin Yufu looked at her back and sighed helplessly.

Zhao Yuru wanted to go and see it secretly, but after thinking about it, what is his identity now, can he be sneaky?

So she swaggered to Mrs. Hou's wing, and there were two guards at the door, and she looked fierce and vicious.

"Stop!" Sure enough, they stopped Zhao Yuru.

Zhao Yuru glanced at them, and said with a full heart: "I am Zhao Yuru, the head of the camp in the suburbs of Beijing, and I am incense in the Reclining Buddha Temple today, and I am here to visit Mrs. Zun!" โ€

"Lord Zhao?"

Sure enough, as soon as they heard her name, the attitude of the two family members suddenly changed.

"Lord Zhao, wait a minute, I'll go tell Madame!"

With that, a man ran in.

Seeing this, Zhao Yuru shook his head proudly, oops, it seems that you can make a man treat you well, in addition to being beautiful, you are an official!

Soon the housekeeper came out.

"Lord Zhao, our lady invites you in!"

Zhao Yuru pushed open the door and saw a beautiful woman in a blue dress sitting inside. She has a soft face and unremarkable facial features, but when put together, people can't take their eyes off it. The whole person seems to be shrouded in a layer of hazy mist, soft and beautiful.

Zhao Yuru grew up in Qinyunju since she was a child and has seen all kinds of beauties. But this woman still made her eyes shine. If Lin Yufu is the ultimate in beauty, then this Mrs. Hou is the ultimate in softness. Her eyes, the corners of her mouth, and her body all reveal the word "gentle". Even the voice is soft and intoxicating.

"I've seen Lord Zhao!" She made a salute, Zhao Yuru came to her senses, and admired in her heart, Yan Linjun's eyes are really vicious, and the beauties she likes are all superb!

"It's so late, bother Madame!"

"Lord Zhao said with a smile, I was in the room, and I heard that Lord Zhao your frame is here. I wanted to go out to greet him. But seeing that you are settling down, I am afraid that the past will cause you trouble! Mrs. Hou led Zhao Yuru to sit down, and then poured her a cup of tea.

"Don't be Lord Zhao, Lord Zhao, just call me Yuru!" Zhao Yuru saw her so amiable, and her heart was happy. I've finally found a woman who can talk, and it would be great if I could ask some royal gossip or something!

"The slave family doesn't dare to make a mistake!" Mrs. Hou smiled and said, "If Lord Zhao doesn't dislike it, you can also call me by my name, Jingyu!" โ€

Seeing that she spoke decently, Zhao Yuru liked it even more.

"Okay, Jingyu! What a name! โ€

Fang Jingyu raised her head and said with some curiosity: "I heard that this time, Miss Yufu came to the temple with you to offer incense, why didn't you see her?" โ€

"Oh, she's tired!" Zhao Yuru smiled and said, "You will see her tomorrow!" โ€

Fang Jingyu nodded, and then said softly: "I didn't expect me to be so lucky, this time I can meet our Dayan Sect Leader Zhao, and I can also meet our Dayan No. 1 beauty!" โ€

"Madam, you are not inferior to her beauty!" Zhao Yuru complimented.

"Lord Zhao laughed, that, I heard that the prince intends to accept her as a concubine?" Fang Jingyu asked tentatively, and when Zhao Yuru heard it, his heart suddenly became energetic.

Here it is, to the point!

"You've heard about it, huh?" She took a sip of tea and said, "It seems that the prince has met true love this time!" โ€

Fang Jingyu's face was still pale and she couldn't see her emotions.

"If it's true, then congratulations to the prince!"

"Really?" Zhao Yuru's expression was capitalized in disbelief.

Fang Jingyu also took a sip of tea and said leisurely: "The prince has been too lonely all these years. If he really falls in love with Miss Yufu, it means that Miss Yufu is the one who can keep him from being lonely. Naturally, I congratulate him! โ€

"What a kind woman you are!" Zhao Yuru sighed.

Fang Jingyu smiled a little shyly, and the two of them babbled some thoughtful words, which made Zhao Yuru feel that Fang Jingyu was really an interpreter flower, she was a man, and she would marry her home!

Before you know it, a pot of tea has been drunk. Fang Jingyu shouted outside the door: "Liuyun, make another pot of tea!" โ€

But after shouting twice, no one responded.

"This girl must be lazy!" She smiled helplessly, stood up and prepared to make tea by herself, but as soon as she took a step, she felt that her steps were soft.

"Ma'am?" Zhao Yuru was quick and hurriedly helped her. But the next moment, I also felt that my legs were weak!

She looked at the pot of tea on the table, and felt bad in her heart!

"Someone drugged?" Fang Jingyu also came to her senses and pointed out the door and wanted to say something, but her body had already fallen crookedly.

"Someone!" Zhao Yuru still had a trace of consciousness, she rushed out the door while shouting, but as soon as she slammed the door open, her eyes turned black and fainted.

Lin Yufu, who was reading a book in front of the candlelight, seemed to hear something, she walked out of the door and looked, the night wind was howling, and the surrounding rooms were all quiet.

"Maybe it's an auditory hallucination!"
