Duanmu Fei and An Ping walked towards the main hall unhurriedly, and after a while, they saw Master Huineng respectfully leading a group of people from the direction of the temple entrance.

The person at the head was the emperor who was wearing a royal blue brocade robe, and he was followed by seven or eight people such as the second prince and his wife, Cen Yin, Xuanwu Marquis, Prince Bao and his wife, and a group of brocade guards dressed as ordinary guards.

Of course, the emperor also saw Duanmu Fei and An Ping, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then everyone also showed surprise, secretly exchanging glances with each other, with different thoughts.

The emperor continued to walk forward, stopping three or four steps away from Anping, and said to Anping with a smile: "Why does the eldest sister have the will to come here today?" ”

An Ping smiled faintly, "Ah Yan has been away from Beijing for half a year, and he hasn't returned yet, I heard that the sign here is particularly effective, so I brought Fei'er over to ask for a sign." ”

"That's ...... I'll ask for one later. The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, and he was also a little interested.

Duanmu Fei smiled obediently on the side, and out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw Chu Qingyu behind the emperor quietly pulling the sleeve of the second prince Mu Youchang, and winked at him with his right eye.

Duanmu squinted quietly, and his long and thick eyelashes trembled slightly.

Mu Youchang took a step forward, saluted An Pingzuo, and said with a smile: "Aunt, my nephew only heard that this Qianfeng Temple is very effective in doing things before, and people from the neighborhood often come here to worship, but I haven't heard that asking for a sign here is also extremely effective." ”

"I also heard my sister-in-law say that although this Qianfeng Temple is small, the Dharma is done well." Prince Bao in the rear echoed with a smile.

"Father," Mu Youchang said to the emperor with great interest, "The son will also take his daughter-in-law to ask for a sign in a while, just hoping to add a grandson to his father as soon as possible." ”

Chu Qingyu didn't speak, pretending to hang his head slightly in shame, staring at his skirt.

Mu Youchang's words can be said to have touched the emperor's heart, and the emperor let out a hearty laugh, looking at his son and daughter-in-law and saying hello.

Seeing this, the smile on Mu Youchang's face deepened, his eyes looked at An Ping again, and he pretended to say casually: "Auntie, my nephew remembers that today is my aunt's birthday, right?" He looked at Anping again, "My nephew is here to congratulate my aunt on her longevity than Nanshan. ”

At the same time, Chu Qingyu also took half a step forward, stood side by side with Mu Youchang, blessed Anping, and celebrated her birthday, which seemed to have a kind of meaning of husband and wife.

An Ping said to Mu Youchang with a faint expression: "Nephew Lao remembers." ”

The emperor was stunned, and then he slowly remembered what day it was, and looked at An Ping's eyes with a smile that suddenly converged a little. Anping and that person are twin dragons and phoenixes, and today is also the taboo of that person.

Mu Youchang said politely: "Auntie, although this year is not your birthday, my nephew should also bring my nephew and daughter-in-law to visit you in person." ”

The emperor listened to the thought, the corners of his mouth were still slightly upturned, but there was no smile in his eyes.

Today is Anping's birthday, she doesn't eat a bowl of longevity noodles at home, why do you have to run out with Duanmu Fei to ask Feng Yan for a peace sign, can't she do it one day earlier and one day later?!

Just now, the second emperor said that people often come to this temple to worship...... So what is Anping here for?!

The emperor's expression became more and more solemn, and he thoughtfully turned the jade wrench of his thumb.

Chu Qingyu secretly paid attention to the change in the emperor's expression, with a sincere expression on his face, and said with a smile: "Aunt, nephew and daughter-in-law also believe in Buddhism, but they are still not as pious as your aunt." When my nephew used to be in the boudoir, I had heard that my aunt would often come here. ”

Chu Qingyu smiled gently and quietly, and there was a hint of certainty hidden in his eyes.

Although this temple is small, it will be a Huguo Temple in the future, because it has been enshrined here for many years to worship the tablet of Emperor Chongming, and Anping and Fengyan will come here every year to worship them.

A few days ago, Chu Qingyu told the second prince An Ping to secretly enshrine the tablet of Emperor Chongming in this Qianfeng Temple, and proposed to let the second prince bring the emperor here today.

Today is the birthday of Anping and Emperor Chongming, and Chu Qingyu knows that Anping will definitely come.

Really.

Chu Qingyu actually didn't expect that a single tablet could bring down An Ping and Feng Yan's mother and son in one fell swoop, she just wanted to leave a thorn in the emperor's heart, so that An Ping and Feng Yan could learn a lesson.

Mu Youchang's current status is very delicate, he is neither the eldest son nor the son-in-law, and he once offended Long Yan and made the emperor disliked.

At this moment, it was she who exposed the secret of Feng Yan to the emperor, and it was just harming others and herself, and now was not the time, but she could slowly build momentum for Mu Youchang...... Until the right time comes.

Thinking about it, Chu Qingyu quietly glanced at Cen Yin, who was standing behind the emperor's right, and Cen Yin, who was wearing a blue dark pattern brocade robe, stood with his hands in his hands, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, with a leisurely look, as if he didn't care about what others were saying.

The emperor's action of turning the jade wrench suddenly stopped, and looked at the direction An Ping and Duanmu Fei were coming, as if thoughtful.

"Where did the eldest sister come from?" The Emperor pretended to be casual and asked, "Why don't you take me to see me...... Since the sign here works, I might as well ask for one. ”

"Please." An Ping only gave two words lightly, and the corners of his mouth hooked a mocking smile.

The emperor carefully observed every change in An Ping's expression, and couldn't help but say: Could it be that he guessed wrong?

Everyone else looked at the emperor and the Anping sisters and brothers, and there was silence all around, except for the sound of monks brushing the floor from the direction of the temple gate.

The emperor squinted, and his fingers subconsciously turned the jade wrench again.

For Anping, he never dared to slack off.

Anping has always liked to play tricks, but when he went over to take a look, he was still not at ease.

"Eldest sister, please." The Emperor smiled casually and stretched out his hand to make a petition.

An Ping took the lead in turning around and walked back, and a group of people surrounded the emperor and An Ping in the direction of the meditation hall, and the oncoming cold wind seemed to become more violent.

"The little girl of the Duanmu family," the emperor walked forward leisurely, chatting with Duanmu Fei with a smile, "This Qianfeng Temple is fun?" ”

"Master Mu, I accompanied my wife to Shangxiang to ask for a signature." Duanmu Fei said seriously, those big black and white eyes were round, and those eyes seemed to be innocently defending themselves, why do you think I know how to play?!

The little girl's round eyes were like a cute little milk cat, which made the emperor laugh, and the stagnant atmosphere seemed to be washed away a little.

The emperor smiled and said, "Girl, do you think the signature here can work?" ”

"Of course it works." Duanmu Fei nodded very firmly, "I asked for a sign." ”

Xuanwu Hou interjected with a smile on the side: "Master, the luck of the fourth girl of Duanmu is really good!" ”

"That's nature. I've always had good luck! ”

Duanmu Fei's innocent and complacent appearance caused the emperor and Xuanwu Marquis to look at each other and smile, and laughter echoed in the air.

The corners of Duanmu's mouth curled, making an expression of "don't believe it", and said with a smile that the last time she and Hanxing went to the second-hand book store together, she happened to find a post about the former pilgrimage book saint Wang Shuyun; said that whenever she went out, it would be a sunny day......

An Ping walked forward casually, unhurriedly, and the corner of his eye looked at Duanmu Fei's smiling side face.

Scarlet is so good! …… But it's also bad.

It's really a match for her Ah Yan!

The smile in An Ping's eyes was so thick that it was about to overflow.

Cen Yin followed behind slowly and unhurriedly, the corners of his red lips slightly hooked in the cold wind, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

In comparison, Chu Qingyu's face was not very good-looking, and his eyes were cold when he looked at Duanmu.

Of course, she still remembered the slap that day from Duanmufei.

After returning to the prince's mansion that day, she complained to the second prince, but the second prince asked her not to mention the matter again, saying that they couldn't afford to offend Cen Yin now, but needed to curry favor with Cen Yin.

Even, the second prince went to Cen Yin to "apologize" on her behalf the next day to show goodwill......

As they spoke, the group came to the meditation hall.

The emperor listened to Duanmu Fei talk about those interesting things in her daily life, and was amused to let out hearty laughter from time to time, "Girl, according to what you say, you are still a big lucky star?" ”

Duanmu Fei nodded vigorously.

The emperor laughed again, and seemed to have completely forgotten about the incense and asking for a signature, at this time, Mu Youchang in the rear said to An Ping: "Auntie, you just came here to offer incense?" ”

When the emperor heard this, he stopped, raised his eyes and looked at the temple in front of him, and the three big characters "Meditation Palace" were written on the plaque.

"Good word!" The emperor praised it, and strode into the hall, followed by the others.

As soon as everyone entered the store, they untied their cloaks one after another, including Chu Qingyu.

After Chu Qingyu handed the cloak to the maid, he was about to continue walking, but he stopped suddenly, his eyes fell on Duanmu Fei's body in front of him, and his pupils shrank.

This is......

Chu Qingyu stared at the eight-treasure Yingluo collar on Duanmu Fei's chest without blinking, his eyes burning.

Others may not know it, but she knows that this eight-treasure Yingluo collar belongs to her grandmother, Mrs. Chu, and it is a very cherished jewelry of her grandmother.

How could it be on Duanmu Fei's body?!

Chu Qingyu's hands were clenched tightly together, and his nails were pinched into his tender palms......

She settled down, and soon continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened, saying to herself in her heart that once she found the tablet of Emperor Chongming, Duanmu Fei, who accompanied Anping here today, would inevitably be angered by the emperor!

The hall is empty, there is no one, there is a row of candles on both sides, the candle flame is dim, there is a lifelike statue of Yang Zhi Guanyin in front of it, the Guanyin master wears a bead crown, wears a white robe, holds a bottle in his left hand, holds a poplar branch in his right hand, his face is very kind, and people feel that their hearts are also quiet when they look at it.

Could it be that you are really thinking too much? The emperor was relieved, stepped forward, and the little chamberlain dressed as a small servant on the side hurriedly lit incense, and then presented it to the emperor.

After the emperor put on the incense, he held the stick holder with great interest and shook the stick, and the bamboo stick crackled in the stick, crisp and loud.

After a while, I heard a "pop", and a bamboo skewer fell from the stick.

Chu Qingyu stood three steps away from the emperor, his eyes were deep, and his cherry lips were pursed.

She did remember that the tablet of Emperor Chongming was enshrined in this Qianfeng Temple, wasn't it in this meditation hall, or ......

Chu Qingyu looked around quietly, and also followed Mu Youchang to offer incense and ask for a signature.

A breeze blew from outside the hall, blowing the yellow curtain next to the statue of Guanyin swaying and dancing slightly.

This is......

Chu Qingyu noticed that there seemed to be a rosewood Buddhist shrine behind the yellow curtain, and his pupils shrank excitedly. She stood up quietly with the help of the maid.

After the emperor begged for a signature, he casually admired the murals in this hall, and occasionally gossiped with the accompanying Xuanwu Marquis, Prince Bao and others, and soon he felt bored.

There is nothing remarkable about this meditation hall.

The Emperor was about to leave when he heard a woman's whisper suddenly sound from behind.

Everyone subconsciously followed the prestige, two or three zhang away, Chu Qingyu didn't know when she appeared next to the statue of Yang Zhi Guanyin, she seemed to have been tripped up, and her right hand subconsciously grabbed the yellow curtain next to the statue of Guanyin.

With a "bang", the curtain was torn by her hand, and the sound of tearing the fabric was extremely loud in this huge hall.

"Second Princess." The girl in Tsing Yi hurriedly took two steps forward and supported Chu Qingyu, "Are you okay?" ”

The dignified second princess behaved so frizzy! The emperor frowned as he looked at the mess in front of him, and shook his head secretly in his heart.

The emperor raised his hand and made a gesture, and the little attendant who accompanied him immediately understood, took a few steps forward, and said apologetically to Master Huineng: "Master Abbot, it's really rude......

"This ...... What is it? ”

Before the little waiter's words were finished, he was interrupted by Chu Qingyu.

Chu Qingyu raised his hand and pointed to the right rear of the Guanyin statue and exclaimed, trying to suppress the excitement in his heart.

Following the direction of Chu Qingyu's finger, you can see that behind the yellow curtain that was torn in half, there was a three-foot-wide carved Buddha shrine of rosewood embedded in the wall.

Master Huineng made a Buddha salute to everyone, and explained calmly: "Amitabha, this Buddha shrine is dedicated to a statue of Jade Guanyin, but it disturbs Mrs. Mu Shao, and it is rude. ”

Chu Qingyu looked at Master Huineng's seemingly pious appearance, but he didn't believe a word.

She hooked her lips and smiled proudly, and quickly exchanged a look with Mu Youchang beside her.

Mu Youchang pretended to be casual and said: "Master Huineng, since it is to worship the statue of Guanyin, why is it secretive? ”

The emperor squinted, although he didn't speak, he obviously had the same idea, and couldn't help but glance at An Ping on the side, and he always felt a little strange in his heart.

The Emperor suddenly strode forward, grabbed the handle of the Buddha shrine with both hands, and pulled it out......

"Squeak-"

Chu Qingyu stared at the Buddha shrine without blinking, his heartbeat pounded faster, and his eyes couldn't hide the look of expectation, becoming more and more violent.

She must make Feng Yan regret it, regret that he despised her, regret that he failed her...... I regret that he chose Duanmu Fei!

The door of the shrine was opened at once, and the things in the shrine came into the eyes of the emperor and everyone behind-

It was a statue of Guanyin of white jade, less than a foot high, with a beautiful and dignified appearance standing gracefully on a lotus seat, holding a lotus stem in both hands, and the half-closed eyes and slightly upturned corners of the mouth carried a kind of compassion for all beings.

The emperor was stunned, and suddenly felt a kind of embarrassment that was seen through by the Guanyin statue, and his body was slightly stiff.

Chu Qingyu also saw the white jade Guanyin statue in the Buddha shrine, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he almost exclaimed in surprise.

How so?!

It wasn't the tablet of Emperor Chongming, so where did Anping hide the tablet......

Thinking about it, Chu Qingyu couldn't help but look at An Ping in the left rear, only to see An Ping standing two zhang away from the emperor not far away, looking at the statue of Guanyin in the Buddhist shrine with an indifferent expression, looking like he had nothing to do with himself.

It seems that the tablet is not here. Chu Qingyu's mind was so confused that he could hardly think calmly.

"Amitabha." Master Huineng performed another Buddha salute with one palm, walked behind the emperor and explained, "Master Mu, I can't hide it, this Guanyin was carved by the ancestor himself, but it is a pity that the ancestor died of illness and failed to carve the eyeballs on this Guanyin statue, so he passed away." This Guanyin statue still lacks this last step, so the poor monk will lock it in this Buddhist shrine, but accidentally disturb the donor. ”

The emperor subconsciously bowed his head to the statue of Guanyin in the Buddhist shrine and took a closer look, only then did he notice that as Master Huineng said, the half-closed eyes of this statue of Guanyin were empty and did not have eyeballs engraved, so he felt a little strange when he saw this statue of Guanyin for the first time......

At this moment, a black tear suddenly flowed in the right eye of Guanyin, down the face of Guanyin, this scene shocked the emperor to take two steps back, and the next moment, he heard Cen Yin's soft voice ringing in his ears: "Where did this ant come from......

The emperor looked at it, and then he found out what kind of black tears were on the statue of Guanyin, and it was clearly a small black ant that happened to crawl out of the right eye of the statue of Guanyin.

Before the emperor could breathe a sigh of relief, he was startled again, only to see rows of black ants crawling out of the Buddha shrine at some point, hundreds of ...... No, it's thousands, and the black ants crawl slowly, making a barely audible rustle.

Prince Bao in the rear subconsciously let out a low cry, and Hua Rong retreated several steps in a row with a disgraced face, as if she was afraid that the black ant would climb on her.

The little chamberlain hurriedly blocked in front of the emperor, and said in fear: "Be careful, master. ”

The little chamberlain's face is not very good-looking, if the emperor accidentally gets stained with these ants, then he will not be able to eat and walk around!

Cen Yin frowned slightly, and muttered, "How can there be ants in this winter?" ”

The emperor chuckled in his heart, yes, this winter, it just snowed two days ago, and even the snow in the wild has not yet melted, how can there be ants!

As the saying goes, there must be demons in a natural vision.

Could it be because he was reckless and angered the gods?!

The emperor subconsciously glanced at the Buddha shrine again, and the black ant colony surrounding the statue of the white jade Guanyin was still crawling, dense, just looking at it like this, it made people feel hairy in their hearts, as if these ants were crawling on their hearts.

Thinking about it, the emperor turned his head to look at Chu Qingyu and Mu Youchang, and his eyes gradually became cold and sharp.

If it weren't for the two of them making a fuss, how could it be like this!

"The two of you, you've become a family, and you're adults." The emperor said angrily in a cold voice, "How can a little thing still be shocked, and I am not afraid of letting outsiders see the joke!" ”

The other "outsiders" all had subtle expressions, and they were silent one by one, just as if they didn't see it.

"Father's forgiveness!" Chu Qingyu and Mu Youchang naturally knew that the emperor was angry, and hurriedly knelt down, only to feel that the eyes of others were piercing them like needles, ashamed and embarrassed.

The emperor ignored everyone at all, just wanted to vent his displeasure, and scolded endlessly: "This is a holy place of Buddhism, and it has been made a miasma by the two of you!" ”

"When you get home, both of you will copy the Diamond Sutra ten times, and you can calm down!"

"Hmph, the daughter of the Chu family is nothing more than that!"

The emperor seemed so angry that he blurted out the self-proclaimed "I" unconsciously, and followed him away, only feeling that he had rare time to go out to relax, which made the two of them ruin their own interest!

Duanmu Fei quietly looked at the back of the emperor striding away, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, his eyes were half-drooping, staring at the tips of his shoes, his eyes flashing.

Chu Qingyu is the daughter of the Chu family.

It is because of this "Chu" surname that after he has been reborn for a lifetime, he will always tolerate Chu Qingyu.

Fortunately, now Chu Qingyu is married.

Now whether it is the emperor or others, when they think of Chu Qingyu, she is the second princess first, and then the daughter of the Chu family...... At least, if something happens to Chu Qingyu now and in the future, the damage to the Chu family can be minimized.

"Madam......" Duanmu Fei took An Ping's arm and smiled affectionately, "Let's go too." ”

Duanmu Fei's crisp voice was particularly loud in the silent hall, causing Chu Qingyu, who was kneeling on the ground, to subconsciously follow the voice, and just happened to look at Duanmu Fei.

The corners of Duanmu's lips curled, and his slanted eyes gave Chu Qingyu a lofty look, and he walked out of the hall with An Ping.

"Scarlet, put on your cloak so you don't catch a cold." An Ping said gently and lovingly.

Cen Yin's soft voice in the back sounded unhurriedly: "Master Huineng, it really makes the master laugh." This is the sesame oil money donated by our master, which is not a tribute. ”

"The donor is very polite."

Master Huineng's expression and demeanor were neither humble nor arrogant, neither angry nor angry, as if nothing could move him.

An Ping turned his head to look at Cen Yin and Master Huineng behind him, the corners of his lips hooked slightly, and he walked out of the meditation hall with Duanmu Fei with a smile.

After stepping out of the high threshold, there was a hint of coldness in An Ping's eyes.

The emperor has always been suspicious by nature, and An Ping knew that whether it was the emperor or the second prince who had just "acted" such a big show, nine times out of ten he doubted what he had enshrined in this Qianfeng Temple.

Fortunately, I had already prepared, and designed a secret secret grid in the Buddhist shrine to place the tablets of my brother and sister-in-law, and opened the cabinet door of the Buddhist shrine directly like the emperor, all I could see was the statue of Guanyin, and the black ants in the Buddhist shrine were also deliberately placed in it to be scary, not only to prevent the emperor, but also to scare away some people who were too curious.

Her caution was not in vain.

An Ping walked forward calmly, with a light smile on the corner of his mouth.

No one cared about Mu Youchang and Chu Qingyu who were kneeling in the hall, and as everyone left one after another, the surroundings suddenly became a lot empty, and the air became even colder.

After Mu Youchang settled down, he slowly stood up, and his knees ached on the cold and hard marble floor, and this pain pierced his heart.

Mu Youchang looked at Chu Qingyu's eyes, and a trace of resentment quickly flashed.

Gone in a flash.

After all, she is the daughter of the Chu family.

Mu Youchang said to himself in his heart, endured it, bowed down to help her, and comforted: "Yu'er, father...... If you are dear, don't take it to heart. ”

Mu Youchang's expression is gentle, and he is like a gentleman.

Chu Qingyu looked at the back of Duanmu Fei and An Ping leaving with a stunned expression, and the three souls and seven spirits seemed to have lost half of them.

Mu Youchang's voice made her wake up like a dream, she took a deep breath, her mood calmed down a little, raised her eyes to look at Mu Youchang beside her and said softly: "I'm sure ......"

Her gentle voice revealed a hint of meaning that outsiders could not understand.

Mu Youchang narrowed his eyes and did not speak.

Since the two of them got married, Chu Qingyu has told him several things about the foreknowledge dream, such as the heavy snow that fell for three days and three nights before, such as Liu Yushi's impeachment of You Junji a month ago, and Chengguo Gong died of illness half a month ago......

Chu Qingyu said that everything came true one by one.

Therefore, he believed her, this small temple is definitely not simple.

It's a pity that Anping is too cunning!

Mu Youchang looked at the row of fire candles on the side, his eyes flashed slightly, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a treacherous smile.

"Yu'er, get up quickly." Mu Youchang pretended to support Chu Qingyu, and quietly swept a burning candle to the ground with a flick of his sleeve, "Let's go, my father is going to go away." ”

Looking at the dancing flames, Mu Youchang smiled more gently, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.
