Chapter VIII
Alan was holding his small package in his arms, one hand was led by the pine crane and stood under the plaque of the Bone Fu Temple, Tuhe escorted them over as a general, and now he was standing helplessly next to the horse rubbing the reins. The queen was helped into the car, the maid half lifted the curtain, and the queen's cold voice came out of the patterned openwork curtain: "He'er is taking care of the road well, talk about the rules in the capital, don't enter the palace to make people laugh, saying that our emperor has a daughter who doesn't understand the rules in the mountains." ”
"The Bone Fu Temple is the name given by the emperor himself, and the plaque written by the imperial pen is the door that the most important Huali Gonggong around the emperor supervises. The children raised here are blessed by the Buddha's grace and Bodhisattva, how can there be a mountain and a wilderness. What's more, the master of the Gufu Temple is highly respected and moral, how can the apprentice under his name be like a village girl. The grandmothers in the palace can teach etiquette and behavior, and the queen doesn't have to worry too much. A treacherous voice came from the top of another palanquin, and the little eunuch hurriedly set up the footstool and pulled the curtain open.
Alain cautiously looked up and saw a scrawny old eunuch being helped down.
The old eunuch rolled up his sleeves, and with the support of the little eunuch with a black mole on the tip of his nose on the side, he knelt down tremblingly: "Old slave, meet the princess." The Immortal Temple of the Bone Fu Temple, the mountain road is rugged, these minions who are not long-eyed walk slowly, and they did not catch up with the queen's phoenix sedan chair, so they are one step late, and the old slave came to ask Her Royal Highness the princess for guilt. ”
Alain hurriedly helped him up, panicked at the moment, and didn't know what to say for a while.
Songhe on the side took over and said with a smile: "This is the old man next to the late father-in-law, the queen mother, and the father-in-law is a good person in the palace who knows etiquette and talks about justice." ”
"The Lord of Songhe County has won the award, this is what the old slave should do." After the old eunuch was helped up, he looked at Alan with a kind face: "The queen mother talks about the princess every day, but the princess was born with a stubborn disease, so she had no choice but to send it to this bone charm temple to be educated by the master." Thanks to the Bodhisattva, the princess and noble Jixiang passed this pass. Hearing that the princess is well, the emperor and the queen mother can't wait to take the princess home! ”
Alan agreed on his face, but he couldn't help muttering in his heart, why don't he know if he is sick or stubborn.
"I'm afraid the princess doesn't know, after all, the princess was still a little doll at that time. The abbot of the Bone Fu Temple is a character who doesn't like to talk. As if he had seen through Alain's thoughts, the voice of the old man seemed to be close to Alain's ear, which frightened Alain, and he looked up at him, but heard him say lovingly: "But when the princess returns to the palace, everything will naturally be understood." ”
After following Songhe into the sedan chair, Alan remembered Ah Cheng, taking advantage of Songhe's efforts to tidy up his skirt, he carefully opened the curtain and wanted to look out, but saw the head of a maid. The maid seemed to be taken aback, and hurriedly saluted, and asked, "What does the princess command?" ”
"No, no." Alain hurriedly waved his hand and lowered the curtain.
"Your Ah Cheng brother and kitten are taken care of by your master, what else is there to worry about?" Songhe stretched out his hand to straighten out Alain's collar, but he didn't want to be reflexively avoided by Alain. Then he smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, the lord of this county is friends with your master and your Tuhe general, so naturally he will not harm you." ”
Alan couldn't hold back and asked in a low voice, "But I've never seen you......"
Songhe smiled: "You were still young at that time, and it didn't take long for me to go to the South Wing." ”
"To the South Wing?" Alain frowned in confusion. The little mouth looked at Songhe's itchy hand in his heart, and he grabbed his sleeve and smiled: "Go to the south wing to be a princess." ”
It turned out to be the lord of the county. Alan couldn't bear it, and whispered: "Then you must be very homesick all these years." ”
Songhe's nose suddenly soured.
Yes, who would not be homesick when they leave their homeland and live in a country where even the architecture is different, away from family and friends. Songhe pursed his lips: "Alain, thank you." ”
