Chapter 67: Attacked
After some clouds and rain, the man lay on the bed with a ruddy face, and Li Xin'er snuggled in the man's arms with a shy face.
"Xin'er, what kind of incense are you lighting in this room? Why haven't I heard of it before? ”
Li Xin'er's eyes glanced over the lavender stove, "Does the emperor think it smells bad?" ”
"It smells good, this fragrance is very special" The emperor's words fell, and he fell asleep.
Li Xin'er sat up, pulled the clothes on her shoulders, lightly touched the ground, and walked to the incense burner, the incense inside had burned out, and the woman added some more, the fragrance was stronger than Fang Cai's.
The woman looked at the man on the bed with a smile, and a smile of unknown meaning flashed in her eyes.
Ye Zhinan went out of the palace gate and went back to Ye Mansion directly, and happened to be seen by Ye Ruotang.
"I'll just say that Fang Cai's back is so familiar, it turned out to be Ye Zhinan. However, how did she end up in the palace? Ye Ruotang suddenly remembered that the emperor saw Ye Zhinan's eyes in the Ye family that day, and suddenly felt a little bad, "Could it be the emperor?" ”
Mu Yuyan looked at the past, "The most important thing in the palace is women, but this good-looking woman is another matter."
"There are three thousand beauties in the harem, which one is not a beauty? It's just that I've been watching it for a long time and I've lost my freshness, you men are all carnivores" Ye Ruotang's eyes rolled and sped up a little speed to get into the carriage.
"What do you call us men? Except for you, no other woman has ever been in my eyes" Mu Yuyan chased after her, took the girl in her arms, and looked over with a hint of provocation.
When Ye Ruotang heard this, he couldn't help but smile a little proudly, "That's not that I'm chasing after me relentlessly, and I perseveringly appeared in front of you, otherwise how could you see me?"
Then he thought, "No, I've got to stop her." If the emperor really takes a fancy to her and asks her to enter the palace as a concubine, with that temper and IQ, he may be able to come out sideways in a few days."
"She bullies you a lot on weekdays, what do you care about her?"
"That's what I said, but after all, she is also my father's daughter, my second sister, so can I watch her jump into the fire pit?"
"What if she was willing? If you cross the foot in the middle, you might even be able to blame you."
"I have my own measure"
"I need to go back to the border in a few days," Mu Yuyan's face sank.
"But what's going on at the border?"
Mu Yuyan rubbed the girl's head dotingly, "It's okay, but there are some things that need to be explained"
"And when are you coming back?"
"I'll be back as soon as I can"
"Okay, then you should be careful on the road"
Mu Yuyan sent the girl back to Yefu and rushed to the border overnight.
.................
"How's it going?" As soon as Ye Zhinan returned to the Ye Mansion, Li Shi greeted him and asked.
"Everything was done according to what my mother said"
"The Emperor?"
"Mother is really right, this man needs to hang his appetite," Ye Zhinan smiled brightly.
While the two were talking, Ye Ruotang came.
"The second sister entered the palace today?" Ye Ruotang was too lazy to sell it to them, and asked straight to the point.
"This has nothing to do with the big sister."
"What the second sister thinks in her heart, it's better to put it down, what is the palace? Who are the people in the palace? The second sister must be very clear."
Ye Zhinan glanced at Li and smiled lightly, "Big sister, what do you mean by this?" Why can't I understand? ”
"The emperor likes you now, but it's just that you are still young, and you are fresh for a while"
"Are you ............" Ye Zhinan stretched out his finger and pointed at the woman in front of him, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, "Big sister is now relying on the support of General Ning Yuan behind her?" Besides, my father and mother are here, so I'm afraid it's not my big sister's turn to interfere in this matter."
Ye Ruotang snorted coldly: "Do you think I want you to take care of you?" It's just living under the same roof, and I'm kind enough to remind you."
"Then don't bother with the big sister"
Ye Ruotang glanced at the two of them, flicked his sleeves and went out, and sure enough, he was kind enough to treat it as a donkey's liver and lungs.
Ye Ruotang returned to Tangyuan angrily, and An's mother sat in the yard embroidering children's clothes. Ye Ruotang was a little curious, so he leaned in, "Mom, this little dress is so cute."
An's mother held her clothes in the air, "This is embroidered for my grandson"
"Your grandson must look good in it"
An's mother looked at the girl, "You, you can also prepare it, maybe you can wear it at the end of the year."
"An's mother" Ye Ruotang smiled shyly, saying no, his hands were very sincere, he laid out the embroidered handkerchief on the side, and hurriedly asked, "How do you embroider this?" ”
Luzhu came over with the freshly washed fruit and jokingly said, "Miss, this is hating to get married."
"No, I'm bored, find something to do to pass the time"
"Okay, good, what the eldest lady said is right"
At this time, it was already dark, and An's mother put away her clothes, "It's getting late, embroidering this hurts your eyes, and I'll teach you tomorrow"
"Good"
An's mother paused, and then said, "Ruotang, accompany me to the temple tomorrow, just ask for a talisman for my grandson to go back."
"Okay"
There is a century-old temple "Thousand Buddha Temple" outside Nanxun City, which is said to be very effective.
Coincidentally, I also went to ask for a hexagram.
Early the next morning, Ye Ruotang and the others had breakfast and were ready to go to the Thousand Buddha Temple.
Because Lu Zhu was a little unwell, he stayed in the house, and Lu Yan went with him.
It was two hours away from the Thousand Buddha Temple, and he had to stay in the temple for one night, so Ye Ruotang simply brought some food to eat on the road.
Because it was spring, the scenery along the way was not bad, and Ye Ruotang and his party stopped and stopped.
One will look at the mountains, the other will look at the water.
Lu Yan was skillful, picked the small wildflowers on the side of the road and made a wreath, and put one on each of An's mother and Ye Ruotang on their heads.
The beauty of Ye Ruotang's birth, looking from a distance, looks like the flower fairy descending to earth.
"Ruotang, how did you and this General Ning Yuan meet? I heard that this General Ning Yuan went to the border pass alone when he was a teenager, and this stay is more than ten years," An's mother asked with some curiosity.
"Hmm..........." Ye Ruotang sat down next to An's mother, holding his head, thinking carefully.
Thinking of the scene when he first met, Ye Ruotang couldn't help laughing, "All this is destined."
As he spoke, the sky became gloomy, and raindrops the size of beans fell to the ground.
Lu Yan and Ye Ruotang hurriedly collected their things and returned to the carriage, "How can you say that it will change this day?" ”
"Then let's go quickly."
"Good"
The rain became heavier and heavier, and the carriage left a line of marks on the ground, and when the carriage was gone, a man wearing a hat appeared where they had stopped, and the hat was pressed so low that the man's face could not be seen clearly, and the rain slipped quietly down the hat and fell to the ground, making a splash.
The three of them arrived at the Thousand Buddha Temple at noon, and when they looked up, the Thousand Buddha Temple was actually halfway up the mountain.
Ye Ruotang held an umbrella and helped An's mother walk up step by step.
"An's mother is careful of slippery steps"
Because the Thousand Buddha Temple is in the middle of the mountain, the stone steps are full of moss, and in rainy weather, the three of them walked very slowly, and they were afraid that the soles of their feet would slip and roll down.
I finally got to the entrance of the temple, and the rain gradually lightened.
When a little monk saw it, he immediately greeted him, "A few female donors slow down"
Because of today's rain, there are no people in the Thousand Buddha Temple, only a few people who ask for signatures.
Ye Ruotang handed over the umbrella to Lu Yan and helped An's mother in.
When the "female benefactor" saw this, she folded her hands and saluted.
"Moderator"
Ye Ruotang came to this temple for the first time, and he didn't know what to do, so he followed behind An's mother, followed her example, lit three incense sticks, and bowed to the Buddha statue.
"Three female donors, please follow the old man to the back and have some fasting."
"Thank you for hosting," Ye Ruotang said politely.
The meal was prepared with some clear porridge and vegetarian dishes, and after walking for half a day, Ye Ruotang was already a little hungry.
I thought that the rice in the temple would be some clear soup and little water that was difficult to swallow, but I never thought that vegetarian dishes could be so delicious, Ye Ruotang couldn't help but drink two more bowls of clear porridge.
At the end, he touched his little belly contentedly.
"Mom, what are we going to do in the afternoon?"
"Usually in the afternoon, the masters in the temple will chant sutras, and we will go and listen to them."
"Good"
After lunch, the three of them rested in the room for a while, and then they heard the sound of chanting.
An's mother hurriedly led Ye Ruotang and Lu Yan forward, and found a place in the back to sit cross-legged.
When I first listened to it, Ye Ruotang still felt a little interesting, but the more I listened to it, the more it looked like a text read by a Chinese teacher in the hot afternoon, and a wave of sleepiness came with a scroll.
Ye Ruotang's body was crooked, and when he saw it in the back, he hurriedly patted the girl, "Miss, why don't you go back to the room to rest?"
Ye Ruotang shook his head and sobered up a little, "I'm fine"
sat up straight, with a pair of peach blossom eyes staring at the boss. After a while, he was defeated again, and it seemed that he could not pass this level, whether in modern times or in ancient times.
Suddenly, the chanting stopped abruptly, and all the monks got up and walked out.
Ye Ruotang seemed to hear the bell after class, and Fang Cai's sleepiness disappeared in an instant, and the whole person was extremely energetic.
When the host saw An's mother, he walked over, "Lord An, I haven't seen you here for a long time."
"Yes, I've been back to my hometown in the past few years."
"What are you asking for today?"
"No, I just hugged a big fat grandson a few days ago, and I want to ask him for a talisman to bless him to grow up safely."
"Then please come with me"
The host led the way in front and came to the meditation room at the back.
Ye Ruotang and Lu Yan also followed.
"I wonder what this female benefactor is asking for?"
"Oh, I'm the same as An's mother, I ask for a talisman," Ye Ruotang said with a smile
"Good"
After asking for the amulet, An's mother led the two of them to look at the Thousand Buddha Temple, "When I was in the Ye family before, I often led you to this Thousand Buddha Temple."
Ye Ruotang nodded, "No wonder the host is so familiar with An's mother"
