Chapter 23: Sending Thoughts

Originally, Gu Xiaonuan, as the queen, was going to accompany the king to spring hunting, but because of this injury, she didn't have to go, which was exactly what she wanted.

As she expected, Concubine An pushed her down the next day, but when she left the king, Concubine An spread all over the palace regardless of the queen's words, and the queen's fall from grace was confirmed. Gu Xiaonuan also felt more and more that she was much safer now, at least those people in the secret would not regard themselves as objects to deal with.

But one bad thing is that I, the queen, have fallen out of favor, and those people in the harem are more and more disrespectful of themselves. Even a little palace maid dared to be arrogant in front of her. I don't know who gave them confidence, although the feathered phoenix is not as good as a chicken, but they are still a phoenix, and they don't know what to do in front of a phoenix.

But Gu Xiaonuan doesn't care about this, she doesn't want to fight for anything anyway, her requirements in this era are very simple, just live comfortably.

Gu Xiaonuan couldn't go to the spring hunt, she strongly recommended Concubine An to go, and King Liwang also adopted Gu Xiaonuan's opinion and took Concubine An there.

Her move not only pushed away the things she didn't like, but also showed the queen's generosity, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Seeing that King Lili didn't blame herself, and took herself to spring hunting, Concubine An became more and more arrogant, so proud that she was about to get carried away. was just a concubine, but she behaved like a queen all the way, which made King Liwang a little unbearable, he always felt that Concubine An was not like this before, she had always been a white moonlight in her heart, how could she disappoint him more and more now.

I thought she was different from other women, she was talented, had her own thoughts, was gentle and considerate, and would not be as jealous as other women. But now it seems that they are no different from them, just a layman. But the queen made herself feel more and more different from other women, and now she seemed to disdain many things.

Leaving the king, they went out of the city, and Gu Xiaonuan also got up accompanied by Tingyin. Sitting under the porch and looking at the green branches crawling in the spring, she was in a trance for months, and she still felt that all this was a dream.

At the same time, she wondered what happened to her parents from far away, and she didn't know what would happen if they couldn't find her. She thought that she must be in a hurry, her mother must be crying day and night, and her father was smoking cigarette after cigarette. There's no way she can tell them that she's fine here, she thought, but she can't.

Thinking about it, she felt a sour nose, and couldn't help shedding two tears, and when she heard the sound, she thought she was uncomfortable again, so she hurriedly came up and asked her, "Princess, but you're uncomfortable again?" ”

Gu Xiaonuan shook her head, "I'm just homesick, but I can't contact them and see them, so I feel sad." ”

Tingyin knew this, but she couldn't help it.

In those days, although she sometimes ran around, when she was homesick, she could make a phone call and send a video to see her relatives. And in this era when communication relies on two legs, she only has one person who thinks dryly.

"Princess, there is a custom in the slave's hometown, it is said that you can pass on dreams to those who miss you, I don't know if the princess has heard of it." Listen and say.

Gu Xiaonuan turned his head and looked at her, "What custom?" ”

"By writing down what you want to say to your loved ones on paper, wrapping them in small clay figurines made of clay, and then enshrined them in a temple dedicated to prayer, you can convey your thoughts to the people you want to convey through dreams." Listen and say.

Gu Xiaonuan had never heard of this custom, but he had heard that in ancient times, there were Kong Ming lanterns to pray. However, whether it is a Kong Ming lantern or a little clay figurine prayer, it is just a sustenance in people's hearts, and it will not really work.

But at this moment, she has some understanding of those who encounter setbacks or frustrations in life, and go to fortune telling. In fact, it's just to find a trace of psychological sustenance, she never believes in fortune telling, but at this moment she understands.

It's like she doesn't believe that worshipping the little clay figurines can convey her thoughts and what she wants to say, but she still wants to give it a try. In that way, how many souls can find a sustenance, and how many have a hope to be able to hold on.

Listening to what Tingyin said, she was a little interested and asked her, "Then do you know where there is such a place in this country?" ”

Tingyin nodded, and told Gu Xiaonuan that on the outskirts of the imperial city, there was such a place on the bank of the Peach Blossom Creek, and she missed her family once before.

Listening to Tingyin say this, Gu Xiaonuan's heart became even more restless, and she couldn't sit still anymore, and wanted to take a look, so she immediately asked Tingyin to inquire about when Wang Shang would come back.

After listening to the inquiry, the king will not be able to return for several days this time. Spring hunting is a relatively large-scale event held by the royal family when leaving the country, which is particularly grand, and it will not come back in a few days. Hearing this, Gu Xiaonuan immediately decided to go to the Peach Blossom Creek in the suburbs to pray with Tingyin.

Since she couldn't go through the main entrance, she would be found out, so she had to go over the wall. This is not a difficult thing for Gu Xiaonuan, after all, she often climbs rocks, and climbing over a wall or something is commonplace for her, but she can't climb up for a long time. She found a rope to tie to Tingyin's waist, sat on the fence and dragged Tingyin up with great difficulty, which took a long time just to climb over the wall.

It was already evening when they left the palace, and in order to rush back on time at night without being discovered, Gu Xiaonuan hurriedly ran towards the suburbs with a listening voice.

After changing into light clothes and casual clothes, Gu Xiaonuan ran much lighter, so it didn't take long for him to run to the prayer temple outside the suburbs.

Sure enough, in front of the temple, Gu Xiaonuan saw a lot of people gathered outside, and they were sticking with little clay figures. Those little clay figurines are filled with the prayers they have written, and after they are pasted, they will be sent to a special place for baking, and the little clay figurines will be dried and then taken to the temple to be worshipped.

It seems like a good form of entertainment. She also used to have a hobby of handmade pottery, which was just right for her appetite.

She watched outside for a while, and listened to everything in order. Someone has already come out to lead Gu Xiaonuan to the private room in the inner room. Where is one person in one room, no one will come to disturb, and the price must be expensive, but for Gong Yuyao, a pampered princess, she was born noble, and naturally this treatment is the same. It's just that Gu Xiaonuan is more willing to make clay figurines with them than in the room, and she thinks it's more interesting.

"Gong Yuyao."

Suddenly hearing a voice, Gu Xiaonuan didn't care at first, but after a while, she immediately reacted that Gong Yuyao was herself. So when she had just arrived at the door and was about to enter, she paused, looked back, and saw a man on a horse in front of the temple looking at her.
