Chapter 118: Extraneous Branches

Yao Hei'er in her sleep was awakened by a crisp sound of wooden fish.

She reluctantly opened her eyes, and it was still pitch black outside the window. The air in the room was already cold and biting, Yao Hei'er couldn't help but shrink into the quilt again, hesitated slightly, then lifted the quilt ruthlessly and gritted her teeth.

When I came to the courtyard, the room of Master Tamagawa had been lit up with green lights, the lamps and candles in front of the Buddha statue in the main hall were also lit, and the three wisps of green smoke in the incense burner slowly rose under the reflection of the candlelight. The sound of the wooden fish and the chanting of the scriptures also came from the main hall.

Yao Hei'er didn't dare to enter the main hall, found the stove room, and saw that the firewood and brown rice were ready-made, so he took out the fire sickle from his purse, lit the firewood and grass in the stove, lifted the lid of the water tank, broke the thin ice on the top layer of the water surface, scooped up the water and poured it into the pot. The smoke bubbling from the stove made Yao Hei'er cough a few times.

It's been a long time since I've done anything like this, Yao Hei'er sighed in her heart. Unexpectedly, now in order to invite a good doctor for his son-in-law, who is the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, he will wash his hands and make soup in this ancient temple on the mountain.

The fire in the stove is getting stronger and stronger, and Yao Hei'er feels that her body is also much warmer, and she is thinking about her thoughts while plucking the firewood and grass in the heart.

"Amitabha!" The voice behind him startled Yao Hei'er, who was in deep thought, and when he turned his head to look, it was Master Yuchuan and Xian Teng standing at the door of the stove room.

Master Yuchuan clasped his hands and said, "Madam, I didn't expect you to really do these rough jobs, but there is Mrs. Lao." ”

Yao Hei'er smiled faintly, lifted the lid of the pot, and saw that the brown rice in the pot had been cooked, and a faint aroma filled the air.

Xian Teng took a few bowls, filled the rice, and took out a plate of pickles from the cupboard, and the three of them ate in the stove room. Master Yuchuan instructed Xiantengdao, "I and Mrs. Yao Guo went down the mountain for a day or two, you are a good student in the nunnery, do your homework in the morning and evening, don't pay attention to it, and don't be negligent in front of the Buddha." ”

Xian Teng agreed one by one, took out a small burden that had already been prepared for Master Yuchuan, and sent the two out of the temple.

When going down the mountain, Yao Hei'er found that her legs hurt, knowing that this was the result of a long time of hard work, she didn't dare to make a sound, gritted her teeth and persevered, and followed behind Master Yuchuan, who was walking like a fly, and went down the mountain.

The two girls were already waiting at the foot of the mountain, Yao Heier ordered the two girls to take a horse, give up a horse, and ride it for Master Yuchuan, a group of four people, whipped the horse, and went straight to the cold city.

Entering the city, Yao Hei'er smiled and said to Master Yuchuan, "Master, please take a break at my house, I want to go to the palace to ask the Empress Dowager for the will, and then come to take the master into the palace." ”

Master Tamagawa nodded silently.

When he arrived at Mrs. Yao Guo's house, Zhong Cuiling took it out, met Master Yuchuan, and let him drink tea in the living room. Zhong Cuiling pulled Yao Hei'er and whispered, "Why didn't my sister come back yesterday?" Princess Ding came home, and after waiting for a long time, she couldn't see her sister, so she didn't spoil her fun. ”

Yao Hei'er was surprised: "Why did this kid run back?" ”

Zhong Cuiling said with a smile, "It is said that King Ding went to the palace early in the morning, and this child went to meet the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, and when he returned to the mansion, he was idle and had nothing to do, so he ran over to play, and there was nothing else to do." ”

Yao Hei'er shook her head and sighed, "This Jiu'er, after all, is still a little willful, and now that she is the princess, she has nothing to do, and she shouldn't run around." The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager knew about it, and they were afraid that they would blame her. ”

As he was talking, another mother-in-law suddenly came in and said with a smile, "Madam, our third young lady is back." Before he could say a word, he saw Yao Jiu already pouting, and a group of people wearing gold and silver behind him were crowded, like stars holding the moon.

couldn't Yao Hei'er speak, Yao Jiu had already complained, "Mother, where did you go yesterday?" Let my daughter wait. ”

Yao Hei'er was busy with people to entertain the people brought by Yao Jiu, and then pulled Yao Jiu into her room, reproaching, "You kid, how can you run home every day? You're different now......"

Before Yao Hei'er finished speaking, Yao Jiu had already interrupted her eagerly, "Mother, my daughter is in the palace of the king of Nading, it's not boring." King Ding got up early every day and went to the court, and he was always busy with things. The huge mansion is full of people I don't know, mother, tell me, what can you do with your daughter? ”

Yao Hei'er hurriedly persuaded, "My son, didn't you take all the girls you had with you?" How can you say that there is no one to speak to you? Besides, the Dingwang Mansion is so big, pavilions, gardens and ponds, where can you not play? You must consider every move you make now, so as not to be laughed at and even have no light on the face of King Ding. Mother still has important things to do today, good Jiu'er, you go back first, and drive Ming'er Niang to Dingwang's mansion to see you, okay? ”

"Mother!" Yao Jiu's voice had a hint of crying, "Mother, my daughter has arrived in an unfamiliar place, and she just misses her mother." Mother, what's important today, can't you do it tomorrow? Mother-mother-"

Yao Hei'er's heart softened, and suddenly remembered Master Yuchuan sitting outside, and said with a busy smile, "Good Jiu'er, my mother loves you the most." It's just that my mother really has something important today, I want to go to the palace to see your eldest sister, tomorrow - tomorrow, okay, tomorrow my mother will go to see you. ”

Yao Jiu shed tears and said, "My mother keeps saying that she loves me the most, and at the critical moment, she still thinks about the eldest sister everywhere, is it because the eldest sister is the queen, I am just a princess, and my mother will not wait to see me......"

"You-" Yao Hei'er was angry, annoyed and distressed, so she had to coax again, "Good boy, be good!" You newlyweds, King Ding came back from a busy affair and couldn't see you, so you should be in a hurry. You wait in the palace for the king to come back, and it is the etiquette. Is it not good for you to set a king? ”

Yao Jiu stopped crying, his face flushed, and said with a smile, "It's not bad." He...... He...... It's good to me, it's just that you have to be busy early in the morning, and you have to be busy, mother, only I'm idle, it's not boring. Since my mother is going to see my eldest sister, I'll go with my mother, okay? ”

Yao Hei'er hesitated for a moment, and then persuaded, "Good boy, I can't let you follow my mother today." Mother really has the most important thing. You also know that Your Majesty is seriously ill now, and my mother finally invited a good doctor and wanted to enter the palace to ask Your Majesty for a pulse. Shrewd! You go back to the house first, okay? ”

Yao Jiu pursed her mouth again and muttered, "Mother still hurts the eldest sister, hum!" ”

Yao Hei'er looked at the sky, it was almost noon, she became more and more anxious, and she didn't have time to explain, so she picked up Yao Jiu and hugged her out of the room, laughing all over her face, "Good boy, be good!" The mother was anxious at this time. Besides, you just got married, you shouldn't run around every day, go back quickly! ”

Yao Jiu's face was full of grievances, so he had to take the people who followed him and went out of the house again.

After sending Yao Jiu out of the house, Yao Hei'er Fang explained to Zhong Cuiling again, and ordered her to entertain Master Yuchuan, so she took the car and hurriedly entered the palace.
