Chapter 278: Travel

With the arrival of the three-day Buddha Advent Festival, the atmosphere in the entire capital is much quieter than before.

And Wen Xize also made a decision at this time, that is, to release Luo Xuanran and go to Tianying Temple together.

For Wen Xize's decision, Lian Zhi and Wen Zhiyu are not surprised, the Luo family will not let the queen be grounded in Weiyang Palace, plus Wen Zhiyan intercedes for the queen, Wen Xize naturally will not really Guan Luo Xuanran for the rest of his life, so he will go down this step.

Luo Xuanran has come out, but her power in the harem is not as good as before. Now the power of the harem is in the hands of Concubine Shugui, Concubine Rong has also cultivated a lot of people during this time, and Luo Xuanran's original hands have also been removed.

All in all, Luo Xuanran now has nothing but the title of a queen.

Early in the morning, the honor guard brigade came out of the palace, and it was Wen Xize who took the royal family and some officials to Tianying Temple.

Wen Xize sat alone on the chariot in front of him, followed by the queen's chariot.

Except for the emperor and the queen, who rode in a chariot, everyone else was a carriage, but the status of the people in the carriage could also be guessed from the size of the carriage.

For example, the carriage that Wen Zhiyu and Lianzhi rode in was the most luxurious one.

Lian Zhi sat on the soft collapse, leaning on Wen Zhixuan's shoulder, as if he was asleep.

"Fortunately, we are in a carriage, and we can't see the inside from the outside, if we ride in a chariot like the emperor and the queen, we can only sit upright, and we don't dare to relax for a moment."

Wen Zhiyu smiled softly: "You are really good at calculating." ”

"I'm so tired that I get up early in the morning to suffer this sin."

Listening to Lianzhi's words, a trace of worry flashed in Wen Zhizhi's eyes, Lianzhi's current physical condition is not good, she said that she was tired, it should be really uncomfortable.

But Wen Zhiyu didn't dare to mention this matter casually: "You rest for a while, Gu Shiqi should let Yu Niang go with him, and let Yu Niang take a look at you again when you get to Tianying Temple." ”

"Don't you know, Aunt Yu is now conditioning Ji Shizi's body in Pingbohou Mansion, and I heard that she has a way to prolong Ji Shizi's life."

"Really?"

"Whether it can be done or not, there is always a glimmer of hope." Lianzhi asked, "We went to Tianying Temple, do we really want to kneel in front of the Buddha and pray for blessings for three days?" ”

Wen Zhiyu shook his head: "Of course not, my father will take us to worship the Buddha, after the worship ceremony is over, it will be in Tianying Temple for three days of self-cultivation, where will we really pray in front of the Buddha for three days?" ”

"Isn't that just going through the motions?"

"It's really a formality, but there's no way, this passing scene must be done, otherwise the people will be dissatisfied."

When Lian Zhi heard this, he sat up straight: "Will the people be dissatisfied?" ”

"Yes, in fact, the people of Western Chu respect and trust Tianying Temple very much, and the Buddha Festival can be said to be a triennial blessing festival specially set up for Tianying Temple since the founding of Western Chu." Wen Zhiyu talked about some of the past, "The first host of Tianying Temple assisted the Wen ancestors to establish Western Chu, so the Wen ancestors specially set up this section for Tianying Temple. However, whether the ancestor of the Wen family was willing or forced to be helpless, I don't know. ”

"This is too exaggerated, if I were the emperor, I would have been dissatisfied in my heart a long time ago, the people respect Tianying Temple so much, I am afraid that it will affect the imperial power." Lianzhi asked, "Isn't there an emperor who has ever thought about dealing with Tianying Temple before?" ”

"You still dare to say anything, if this is heard by others, you will be miserable."

"I'm not stupid, how can I tell anyone else?"

Wen Zhiyu explained: "You weren't from Western Chu before, and you felt strange when you heard this, but the people of Western Chu are used to it, but how can the people of the Wen royal family get used to someone coming to divide their power?" However, Tianying Temple has been standing since the founding of the country, like an iron bucket, and the royal family cannot intervene. ”

Lian Zhi thought of the master Huai Rang who had hurt him: "But didn't the emperor punish that Huai Rang before, he seems to be a senior monk of Tianying Temple." ”

"Last time, it was because Huai Rang interfered in the affairs of the palace that his father punished him, so Tianying Temple did not come forward. But today is different from the past, and it is not difficult to see from the things in Huai Rang that today's Tianying Temple is probably already an endophytic rot and will not last long. I guess my father has already moved the mind of Tianying Temple. ”

"But the Wen royal family has always been infighting, and the rotting insects have never been broken, right?"

Wen Xize sighed: "The royal family is not comparable to a temple, Tianying Temple wants to stand all the time, it can only be consistent with the outside world, and there can be no careful thinking, but people's hearts are the most unpredictable, even if they are monks with pure hearts and few desires, they may not always be able to maintain their original intentions." ”

Lianzhi nodded: "This is indeed the case, but it is not difficult to see from what Huai Rang did that not everyone in Tianying Temple can maintain their original intentions." Even if Tianying Temple can really stand, it can only stick to the fundamentals. The royal family is different, the winner is the king, and the king can open up his own era. ”

"My father was a very ambitious king, and he had long wanted to take Tianying Temple for his own use and consolidate his imperial power. It's a pity that he hasn't found a good way yet! ”

Lianzhi understood Wen Zhiyu's meaning: "You also want Tianying Temple?" ”

"People who don't want it are fools." Wen Zhiyu never hid it in front of Lianzhi.

Lianzhi glanced at Wen Zhiying, since it was what Wen Zhiying wanted, she helped to get it: "This time the emperor went to Tianying Temple, in addition to bringing the queen, he also brought Iris Dai and Ruoying, will the emperor bring other concubines in the palace before?" ”

Wen Zhiyu shook his head: "No, the Buddha's father will only take the queen to Tianying Temple, and I think it's strange to bring Concubine Mei and Jiang Meiren this time." ”

Wen Xize always has an unusual preference for kites. As for Ruoying, Wen Xize used coercion for the first time, but did he like Ruoying? After seeing Wen Xize's attitude towards Iris Dai, Lian Zhi didn't believe that Wen Xize really liked Ruoying, so he was so stubborn to keep Iris by his side?

I don't know why, Lianzhi can always think of Ruoying's face, is Wen Xize because of that look?

Lianzhi stretched out her hand and gently stroked her face, her face was somewhat similar to Ruoying. Thinking back to the scene where he met Wen Xize, Lianzhi realized that something was not quite right at this time.

Sometimes, Wen Xize seems to be looking at another person through himself, especially on the night when Huairang and the United Empress of Qin Tianjian framed him, Wen Xize's emotions were particularly strong.

Could it be that this face of his own, hides some secret?

"What's wrong?" Wen Zhiyu saw that Lianzhi's silence was a little abnormal, and asked.

Lianzhi came back to his senses: "It's nothing, I was a little distracted just now." ”

"When I get out of the city, I will take a short rest and then go to Tianying Temple, and when the time comes, I will come down and walk around, and I won't be so tired." Wen Zhiyu thought that Lianzhi was too tired.

"Hmm." Lianzhi responded.

In the carriage behind, Xiao Yunwei and Wen Yunxi rode together, in fact, Xiao Yunwei was supposed to be alone, Wen Zhiqian knew that she was coming to Tianying Temple for the first time, so she asked Wen Yunxi to take care of Xiao Yunwei, and Wen Yunxi directly pulled Xiao Yunwei to ride together.

In the past, the Xiao family was not qualified to accompany the Buddha's Festival, but because Xiao Yunwei is now the future concubine of the fifth prince, the entire Xiao family is also rising, and this time the Buddha has the opportunity to accompany you.

Xiao Qingtai didn't really want this opportunity, but thinking that Xiao Yunwei was destined to enter the royal family in the future, he still felt that Xiao Yunwei should be allowed to contact the royal people in advance.

At this moment, Xiao Yunwei and Wen Yunxi were together, and Xiao Qingtai was also relieved.

Xiao Yunwei was silent all the way, Wen Yunxi went through the last incident, and her temperament calmed down, and the two didn't speak.

Or Xiao Yunwei found that Wen Yunxi was wrong: "Sixth princess, I haven't seen you for many days, why do you look different from before?" ”

Wen Yunxi subconsciously asked, "Is there one?" ”

Xiao Yunwei nodded: "What happened to the princess?" ”

Wen Yunxi smiled, this smile is not as simple as before, it is obviously the same smile, but it always feels a little heavy: "What's the matter, it's that you think too much." I just feel that I got up too early today and am a little sleepy. Don't be too restrained, you will be the imperial sister-in-law of this palace in the future, and now you will be a friend of this palace. ”

"Princess, thank you for what happened last time." After the Guangchu Festival, Xiao Yunwei has not had a chance to thank Wen Yunxi.

Wen Yunxi thought of Qi Min again, and her hand curled up suddenly: "This palace didn't do anything, it was the imperial brother who helped you." ”

"Princess, are you really alright?" Xiao Yunwei felt that when she mentioned this matter, Wen Yunxi's mood was not quite right.

Wen Yunxi shook her head: "It's okay." The royal brother really cares about you, and if you marry the imperial brother in the future, the imperial brother will definitely treat you well. ”

When it came to this marriage, Xiao Yunwei also felt a little uncomfortable in her heart: "The Fifth Highness is very good to everyone, even if he is not a courtier, if someone else marries the Fifth Highness, he will treat him well." ”
