288 Heart-to-heart
The sky is not beautiful, and before arriving at Puji Temple, it rained lightly. A layer of rain and fog arose, enveloping the heavens and the earth in this layer of fog, becoming hazy and faint.
When Ye Xinyi arrived, Zhaoning had not yet come. She didn't rush out of the carriage, just lifted the curtain and looked out the window.
Because it is not the meeting period, and because of the weather, it looks very deserted, but the temple flowers and trees, shrouded in rain and fog, look more like a fairyland.
I didn't wait for a while, a carriage was kicked and trampled and ran over, it looked like it was just an ordinary rich man's carriage, but there were a lot of people with the car, among which several men were vigorous, with high and convex holes, and their eyes were sharp, and they were masters at a glance.
It should be a palace guard, and even if Concubine Xie Guifei lets Zhaoning out of the palace, she will ensure her safety.
Sure enough, the carriage slowly stopped, and a girl dressed as a maid got out of the car first, it was the cicada.
Sure enough, Zhaoning has arrived.
When Liu Lu helped Ye Xinyi get out of the car, Zhaoning was also helped out of the carriage by the cicada.
Holding a red oil-paper umbrella and wearing a plain cloak, it made Zhaoning's face haggard even more.
But I haven't seen it for a few days, and the half-bloomed flower bones seem to be wilting.
Ye Xinyi sighed, said a few words to her, and entered the temple together.
Earlier, they had already been informed of the fact that they had already been greeted by a small novice waiting at the temple gate, and they were escorted to the main hall.
When I arrived in the main hall, I put on incense, added sesame oil money, and discussed with the great monks to make a water and land dojo on 3721, and Zhaoning designated an inner servant to live in the temple these days and be responsible for this matter.
Only then did he take Ye Xinyi to the Lantern Tower, lit a lantern for Die'er, and Zhaoning personally presented the shrine.
Then, he put his hands together in front of the lamp and prayed silently for a long time, then he opened his eyes, and he didn't look at Ye Xinyi, but looked at the ever-bright lamp that was going on and off, and said in a quiet tone, "Die'er has been with me for eight years, almost growing up with me, and she and Cicada have been with me even more than my mother." Right now, she died so badly, but after all, it was because of me. ”
As for whether Die'er really betrayed her, Zhao Ning must have been reluctant to pursue it, as soon as a person dies, the bad side left in his heart is getting weaker and weaker, and the good memory is getting deeper and deeper. I can't remember the bad ones, and I can't forget the good ones.
Ye Xinyi understood, raised his eyes and looked at the ten thousand lights in the lantern tower that conveyed his sorrows, dotted with stars, "There is a princess who is worried about it, and the Buddha blesses it, and the butterfly will definitely be able to reincarnate in a good family in the next life, with both parents and food, no worries about food and clothing, you have to marry a good person, and your children are around your knees." ”
Zhao Ning turned his head to look at her, but he didn't say anything, but his eyes were faintly moist, and he turned his head and looked at the everlasting lamp that belonged to Die'er, clasped his hands together, and closed his eyes.
The flickering candle flame reflected Zhaoning's side face, but it was indescribably quiet and peaceful.
After coming out of the lantern tower, when Zhaoning and Fang Cai first arrived at Puji Temple, there were more obvious changes.
Although his face was still a little haggard, his eyes were a little more radiant than before.
Before suffering, I don't believe in gods and Buddhas.
There is no need to delve into the existence of gods and Buddhas, but at least, at some point, the existence of these nihilistic beings can really give people comfort.
The rain also stopped. The flowers, trees and roof tiles look fresher and brighter after being washed by the rain, and the slightly damp wind between the noses seems to be refreshing.
Because of this, the slightly wet floor under your feet is not so unacceptable.
Zhao Ning took a deep breath, "This Buddhism is really good, at least it can calm people's hearts." As she spoke, she gently hooked the corners of her lips, and a faint smile jumped on her lips, she turned her head to look at Ye Xinyi and said, "Mrs. Shen, let's go around!" ”
Ye Xinyi naturally had nothing to do, "The food of this Puji Temple is the most famous, I have asked them to arrange a meditation room, put a table for us, the princess walks around, looks at the scenery, and comes back at the right time." ”
Although it didn't rain, I don't know if it would rain for a while, so Cicada and Liu Lu both held umbrellas and followed, Ye Xinyi and Zhaoning walked in front, and after a distance of about four or five steps, they were followed by two guards in regular clothes, and then followed by a few waiters, holding some objects in their hands.
There are a lot of flowers and trees planted in Puji Temple, but at this time, the flowers that bloom in spring, such as cherry, peach, and magnolia, are either thankful or have reached the end of the flowering period, and are scattered by the rain, which looks a little bleak. However, those ginkgo biloba and maple trees stretch their branches and leaves after the rain, verdant and vibrant, and look particularly gratifying.
There is also a release pond with leaves stretching, which also makes people feel bright.
After walking for a while, Zhao Ning's face was much calmer, and he probably felt a little tired, so he pulled Ye Xinyi to the stone table next to the release pool, and those who followed hurriedly came up to lay out the mat and set up refreshments. In a few moments, the stone table was set up, and the two of them sat down.
"It's been a few days, and only today do I feel a little more relaxed, and I feel uncomfortable just thinking about going back to that palace. Mostly, I'm just like my mother said, I'm a worthless person. Obviously born there, but he always wants to escape. ”
These words, even if they were addressed to Concubine Xie Guifei, Zhao Ning would never be able to say them, but today, in front of Ye Xinyi, he naturally confided in. With these words, Zhao Ning's depressed heart felt two points more relaxed.
The trust and closeness implied in this, how can Ye Xinyi not know? She groaned slightly, and said softly, "The princess is very affectionate and sexual, where is it unproductive, it's just not suitable." Fortunately, although the princess was born there, she will not be trapped there for the rest of her life, speaking of which, compared to many people around the princess, the princess is still much luckier. ”
This is a strange thing. Zhao Ning thought about it, what she said just now was really a bit rebellious, and it was nothing to tell the Ye family, and she was not a talkative person, so she wouldn't say it. But most of the time she would protect herself and keep silent, or persuade her to say a few words, let her cherish her blessings or something, but she didn't expect that she would say such a thing.
Obviously, she agrees with her ideas, and she really opens her heart.
"The princess knows what I mean. As long as the princess marries, she can naturally leave the palace. During this period of time, the concubine must have been busy looking at the princess, and I estimated that the princess's marriage would not be long before it was decided, and the princess would naturally be able to leave the palace and live freely. "Although, as a royal princess, it is impossible to be absolutely comfortable, but relatively speaking, it is much more comfortable than in the palace.
There is no need to worry about intrigue and calculation all the time. Presumably, Concubine Xie also has this consideration, after all, Zhaoning is really not suitable for survival in that palace city.
She is not stupid, she grew up in that palace city since she was a child, but she still hasn't learned those scheming scheming, but she has always maintained her own heart, either she can't do it, but she doesn't want to.
Zhao Ning smiled bitterly, "Who knows, I don't know what kind of family I will find, and whether it is really better than now." ”
