I didn't come back for a while, everything around me looked different, there were a few rains in the spring, many small bamboo shoots appeared in the bamboo forest, the road up the mountain became a lot muddy, and the bumps along the way made people feel dizzy.

"It turns out that the royal temple is so far away, I thought it was near the imperial city."

Shangguan Yiyi opened the curtain with his hand and glanced at the scene outside, then stroked his chest and said, his eyes were full of novelty.

This is understandable for Ye Zhenzhen, after all, women in ancient times were always confined in the house, and very few people could come out.

"Yiyi, when you go down the mountain, you have to abandon your identity, Master Hui is a demure and elegant person, and he doesn't like the constraints in the palace the most, you must not mention anything to him in the court or the palace."

Seeing that Qihuang Mountain was in front of her, Ye Zhenzhen still reminded her with some unease, and her eyes were full of respect for Nangong Hui.

"Don't worry."

Shangguan Yiyi knew that it was not easy for Ye Zhenzhen to apprentice, so he hurriedly agreed.

When the carriage reached the foot of the mountain, it was completely impossible to go up, and unlike in the past, it was more difficult for them to reach the mountainside, and the road was very slippery, and it was quite difficult to walk.

"Qingju, help Yiyi up, I can do it alone."

Seeing that Hui'er didn't seem to understand anything, she was also a little shocked, Ye Zhenzhen hurriedly sent Qingju to serve Shangguan Yiyi, and she walked up with her skirt without the slightest shelf.

The sky had just been overcast, the entire Qihuang Mountain looked gloomy, everything was shrouded in darkness, Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help frowning, I was afraid that there would be a storm coming soon, and a gust of cold wind whistled by, making people shudder.

"Hurry up, we must go up the mountain at once, or we won't be able to escape the storm."

Ye Zhenzhen looked up at the sky, and then urged.

After a stick of incense, I saw the bamboo forest swaying helplessly in the wind, many branches and pine needles were swept away by the wind, Ye Zhenzhen gradually couldn't open her eyes, she was alone in front of the lead, but was blinded by the dust in the wind, and it became particularly difficult to go up the mountain.

"Miss, otherwise let's avoid it first, and wait until the rain is over before going up the mountain, I'm afraid we won't be able to go up now."

Qingju looked at the howling wind, and couldn't help but retreat in his heart, so he shouted to Ye Zhenzhen in the wind.

"It's coming soon, hold on a little longer, there is no place to rest in the bamboo forest, if you want to stop here, I'm afraid we'll all get soaked later."

Ye Zhenzhen also wanted to stop for a while, but after looking at the surrounding environment, she could only grit her teeth and veto.

"I know it's you guys at a glance, it's going to rain soon, come with me this way."

Just when everyone was struggling, a raging voice came out of the woods, and the tone was very frivolous, but mixed with a lot of concern.

"Little squire, it's you."

Qingju suddenly smiled, it was really good to see the old man, Qingju sighed in his heart, but Shangguan Yiyi was a little apprehensive, only thinking that this man didn't look very old, but he felt very frivolous.

"Let's go."

Ye Zhenzhen looked at Shangguan Yiyi's puzzled eyes, and then opened her mouth to pack the ticket, Shangguan Yiyi nodded and hurriedly followed.

The little attendant led them on not a road up the mountain at all, but a very strange-looking path, all the way was rocky, surrounded by dense vegetation and trees to make it impossible to see anything clearly, and this place looked so remote that ordinary people did not dare to walk from here.

"How come this road has never been seen before?"

Ye Zhenzhen carefully walked on the stone wall, and asked the little attendant who walked effortlessly in front of her.

"This is the closest way from the small courtyard to there, otherwise how could I shuttle between here so easily, and the prince still has to rely on me to pass the word."

The little attendant smiled and replied proudly, Nangong Hui is just such a kid as him, and general things are handed over to him to deal with, and he has been doing this for a long time, so he is naturally much better than others.

After a delay on the road for a while, seeing that the small courtyard was getting closer and closer, Ye Zhenzhen and everyone were like arrows, but they were still soaked by the sudden rain, and when they arrived at the small courtyard, they had already become soup chickens.

Heavy rain eroded the dry soil in an instant, swallowing up the fresh air around it, and a scent of earth mixed with sandalwood on the top of the mountain swept through the surrounding air.

"Let's go change our clothes, you go get some hot water for them."

Seeing Ye Zhenzhen coming up with a few fresh faces, Nangong Hui's face did not change in the slightest, but instead urged the little attendants to prepare some hot water for them to ward off the cold.

"Thank you, Master."

Ye Zhenzhen smiled with a smile on her face, and bowed to Nangong Hui, and then hid in the house to change her clothes.

"Hey, Zhen Zhen, that was the emperor's brother just now? It looks like a fairy, and the smell of fireworks is not close to it, but it is really dazzling, and I have never seen an otherworldly monk like him, and ...... How does he still have hair? ”

Shangguan Yiyi was taken aback, and as soon as he entered the room, he immediately pulled Ye Zhenzhen and looked like a gossip.

"Master came to Qihuang Mountain voluntarily to seek Buddha, how can the royal children be ordained? Let's change your clothes. ”

Ye Zhenzhen pulled Shangguan Yiyi, and then explained to her in a low voice, in fact, when Ye Zhenzhen first met Nangong Huiyi, he was also so otherworldly, although he was a monk, but he was more tranquil than a mortal man.

After speaking, Ye Zhenzhen set her eyes on the room, which was exactly the same as when she left, the Buddhist scriptures were still offered on the Buddhist shrine, not even a little bit of dust was there, and the Buddhist scriptures had hardly changed except for some more pleats.

"Concubine Fang, Master asked us to call you to eat, if you have changed your clothes, come out quickly."

I don't know how long it took to hear the little attendant urging outside.

Taking Shangguan Yiyi's hand out, Ye Zhenzhen saw Nangong Huimu sitting in the empty hall of the main hall looking up and admiring the rain, the dishes on the table were still steaming, and he had a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, and his immortal appearance was particularly eye-popping.

Ye Zhenzhen went over and politely saluted him, showing her respect, and then opened her mouth to condole: "Zhenzhen is not here these days, I don't know how the emperor is doing on the mountain?" ”

"Get up, the ground is cold, everything is fine, see the changes of the four seasons, it is the gift of my Buddha."

Nangong Hui had a light smile on her face, and pulled Ye Zhenzhen and Shangguan up from the ground one by one, and then continued to raise her head and smile.

The meal was extremely quiet, Nangong Huiyi used himself to prove to Shangguan Yiyi what it means to have no distractions, only to see that he was extremely quiet in his meal, and his appearance was also very good-looking, as if he was tasting peerless deliciousness, so Shangguan Yiyi couldn't help but doubt his feelings, how could a vegetarian food have the feeling of delicacies from the mountains and seas.

At night, the rain hurried by, leaving a cold silence, after Ye Zhenzhen and Shangguan Yiyi cleaned up the kitchen, they looked at the stars in the sky in the pavilion in the courtyard, this heavy rain seemed to wash the sky, the dark blue night sky, the stars were dazzling, giving people a kind of transcendent tranquility.

"It turns out that it's good to be an ordinary person, and you don't have to be bound by all kinds of rules and responsibilities."

At this moment, Shangguan Yiyi realized that Ye Zhenzhen liked it here, the food and clothing were very simple, and there was no one on weekdays, so he stayed quietly like this, thinking about some things that he had never figured out, what a good place it was.

"The temple on the mountain is even more unique, they are very good, you can go up to worship one or two on weekdays, there are many interesting places on the mountain, if you have time, you can also go to see."

Ye Zhenzhen looked at the pillar, and the corners of her mouth smiled inadvertently, and then she was very happy to say to her.

"Na, this is your flute, and the prince has polished it for you."

The little attendant was carrying a bamboo flute in his arms, and before the person arrived, he couldn't wait to hand it to Ye Zhenzhen, Ye Zhenzhen took the bamboo with some hesitation, only to find that this was the first time she met Nangong Hui to cut the bamboo.

At that time, she wanted to make a flute to play, but she hurried down the mountain before she finished it, and now this flute is very delicately carved, and there is Ye Zhenzhen's name on it, which is not lost to the master's work.

"Thank you Uncle Huang for me."

Ye Zhenzhen couldn't put it down, and hurriedly held it in her hand, but she didn't have anything to say, so she could only look at the little attendant with tears in her eyes, which was quite a bit pleading.

"Hey, don't look at me like that, I'm a delivery person, I want to thank you yourself, I don't care."

The little attendant opened his eyes, and then pursed his mouth and pretended to be tough, and before Ye Zhenzhen could say anything, he had already turned his head and walked back.

"He ......"

Shangguan Yi looked at the back of the little attendant, and reached out to Ye Zhenzhen with some confusion, as if he was complaining about her.

"He's like this, he's always hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, you don't have to take it to heart."

Ye Zhenzhen shook her head, kindly defending him, without the slightest hint of blame in her tone.

"Zhenzhen, you can play the flute?"

Shangguan Yiyi nodded at this time, and then her eyes fell on the bamboo in her hand, and then she asked as if she were inquiring.

"Yes, I used to learn in the countryside."

Ye Zhenzhen held the flute tightly, and couldn't help but recall that in modern times, she didn't like the flute very much at that time, but in order to cater to the hearts of some big customers, she also went to learn, although it was acceptable, but she hadn't tried it for a long time.

"If only there was a piano here, so I could play a piece with you."

Shangguan Yiyi looked around with some regret, and then spoke.

"How could it not be, Master has a piano there, Qingju, you go and borrow it."

Ye Zhenzhen was also interested for a while, and hurriedly urged Qingju to borrow the piano, but after a while, she saw Hui'er and Qingju coming out with the piano.

Putting the piano on the piano stand, Shangguan Yiyi couldn't help but sigh, "This is a good piano." ”
