The next day, Bai Muguan was woken up by the noise outside, she didn't sleep well last night, and dreamed that Yu Wenye continued to take concubines one after another, and when she woke up, she found that tears had wet the pillow.

The girl tilted her head and pouted, secretly annoyed that she had become more and more hypocritical, and even dreaming had something to do with him.

"Miss, you've finally woken up." It's Xiangyun's voice.

"I'll just say let Miss sleep more, Miss has been so tired lately that even the iron beaters can't stand it. You're going to make a noise outside, and voila, wake up Miss! Bi Long came in with Xiangyun with her clothes and accessories, and counted Xiangyun and a few other maids as she walked.

Bai Muguan smiled when he heard this: "That's it, it's time for me to wake up, you dress up for me." ”

Bi Long and the others hurriedly said yes, and then several maids had to help Bai Muguan change his clothes and hair.

At breakfast, Bai Muguan walked a room of maids, leaving Xiangyun alone to serve in the hall, and then asked the doubts in his heart: "What are you yelling outside in the morning?" ”

Xiangyun squeezed her eyebrows and whispered, "Tong Liangdi spread the news of staying alone in the empty room last night, and I heard that she lost her temper in Furong Pavilion. Who called His Royal Highness to suddenly come to Zheng Ji, which was really unexpected. ”

Bai Muguan's hand holding the silver chopsticks paused, and the dark pupils also turned and turned, returning to normal in a moment.

"Miss, are you alright? According to the slave maid's opinion, His Royal Highness stayed in Mulan Pavilion and was fortunate that Zheng Ji must have another reason, otherwise her vulgar powder would have been able to enter His Highness's eyes. Xiangyun thought that Bai Muguan was jealous because of Yu Wenye's presence in Zheng Yuan, and couldn't help but comfort his own young lady.

Bai Muguan winked at her and said with a smile: "Silly girl, of course I'm fine, if I'm annoyed by this little thing, I don't even have half of my mind, and I don't need to marry His Highness in the future." ”

She told the truth, Yu Wenye's women will only increase, if she has not married into the East Palace, she will already have a sour stomach, and there will be no need to live in the future. Maybe this is one of the prices for her to fall in love with the future emperor, a couple in her life is nothing more than a dream of Zhuang Shengxiao, and even she can't even dream of this sweet dream.

After drinking only half a bowl of barley porridge in the amber bowl, Bai Muguan wiped the corners of his mouth with a square towel, waved his hand and ordered, "Withdraw." ”

Xiangyun raised her eyes and looked at a few dishes on the table that had not been touched, and sighed secretly, her own young lady has been reckless since she was a child, and she was so sad that she was so sad that she smiled and told others that she was fine.

Xiangyun called two maids in and cleaned up the dishes, and not long after finishing cleaning up the dishes, she saw Bi Long coming back from outside with a smile on her face. She carefully held a small lacquer ink jewelry box in her hand, and said: "Miss, Miss Shen San of the Wei State Mansion sent a box of jewelry, saying that it is a new coral style in the spring of the Treasure Pavilion this year. ”

Most of the friendships between the ladies are like this, usually they are inconvenient to see each other often in the house, and when they are worried about each other, they order the maid to send one or two carefully prepared gifts.

"Bring it to me quickly, I don't know what strange things Shen Fu's girl bought at a lot of price." Bai Muguan was suddenly full of interest.

The lacquered ink-coloured jewellery box is made of fine wood, with a delicate bronze lock in the centre and a key hidden at the bottom of the box. Bai Muguan carefully tinkered a few times before discovering the mystery. I took out the key to open the bronze lock, and a string of beautiful coral beads lay quietly in the jewelry box, with a letter next to it.

When I opened the envelope, I saw the handwriting sprinkled with joy. Bai Muguan recognized Shen Fu's delicate handwriting, and could tell that the letter in front of him was definitely not from Shen Fu's hand, and sure enough, the word "Yu" appeared at the end of the letter.

After seeing it, Bai Muguan quickly put the letter back into the envelope, and locked it back into the jewelry box with the letter and the coral bracelet. After that, she handed the jewelry box to Xiangyun and instructed softly: "Haosheng will keep it for me." ”

Xiangyun immediately responded, although he was a little hesitant in his heart, he didn't dare to ask more.

I saw Bai Muguan take off the cumbersome pearl earrings and said softly: "Bilong, I have to go out alone today, and I may not be able to come back until the evening." If His Royal Highness comes to ask, you only say that I will go to Qinglong Temple on the outskirts of Beijing to petition. ”

Bi Long was stunned for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Miss is going out alone again, I wonder if the slave and maid can go together?" ”

"You don't have to worry, I'm in control." After speaking, Bai Muguan faded the brocade skirt woven with silk satin, changed into a simple beige dress, and tied up a black algae hair with a silver hairpin.

"It's windy on horseback, Miss beware of catching a cold." While speaking, Bi Long took a cloak with a white fox fur collar and covered her with a military uniform, and a faint pear fragrance came to her nose, which smelled very elegant and pleasant in winter.

Facing Bai Muguan's suspicious eyes, Bi Long lowered his eyes and explained: "Miss doesn't often wear this, the slave maid smoked the pear incense for the inner palace when ironing on her own initiative, Miss doesn't mind, right?" ”

"Where, I like pear blossoms the most." With a chuckle, Bai Muguan hurried out.

She quietly left from the corner gate in the backyard of the East Palace, without anyone with her, and stepped on the treasure horse to go to the Qinglong Temple located on the outskirts of Beijing.

Qinglong Temple is not the national temple of the Tianxi Dynasty, and the scale of the area is far less than the two national temples of Yulong Temple and Tianlong Temple, but the incense is equal to them. Most of the people who pray for a smooth career go to the Yulong Temple, so there are always scholars who go with their families before and after the spring scientific examination. Tianlong Temple is the most effective way to pray for peace and health, harmony and happiness, and Qinglong Temple is an excellent resort for marriage.

Shen Yu asked her to meet in the bamboo forest behind the Qinglong Temple, and her intentions can be seen.

Bai Muguan jumped off the treasure horse, stroked its black mane, and was about to step into the temple, when he was stopped by a familiar voice behind him.

"White girl, what a coincidence."

She turned to look, and it was him.

A soft crescent white robe wrapped around his long and thin body, and a white jade crown with a gentle texture tied up his long black hair. A touch of warm sun shone on him, as if he had been plated with a layer of golden light, as if he was like a fairy.

This person is naturally Shen Yu.

"yes, that's a coincidence." Bai Muguan hooked her lips and paused to wait for someone who was a few steps slower than her.

Shen Yu didn't go alone, there were two small servants standing beside him, following behind the master like wooden people.

When they approached her, Bai Muguanfu raised his steps and stepped forward, Shen Yu and her always kept a distance of about half a meter, and walked into the temple silently all the way.

There are obviously not many people who come to the temple to offer incense today, and occasionally a few women who look like rich ladies come with their children and servants to pray for marriage and beauty, and they are not high-ranking nobles, and no one knows Shen Yu and Bai Muguan. There are more than ten meditation rooms in the backyard of the temple, which are specially used for donors who come to worship incense for a few nights. However, most of the Zen rooms are empty, and few people will stay overnight, after all, Qinglong Temple is quite close to the capital, and it can be reached in half an hour by riding a fast horse, and it is nothing more than an hour or so to go back to the house by sedan chair or carriage.

There is a bamboo forest at the back of the meditation room, which is the best shade in summer, but it is not yet spring, and the weather is still cold. The cold wind blew the bamboo leaves rustling, and the little monk who was in charge of cleaning and washing in the early morning refused to go out of the house to suffer the cold if there was no major event at this time. It is undeniable that Shen Yu is careful, and the places he chooses are also secluded and thoughtful.

In the stone pavilion in the middle of the bamboo forest, they all walked in together, and although they were sure that there was no one around, Shen Yu still ordered the two little servants to patrol the surroundings and let them go.

There was a small round table and a few stone benches in the stone pavilion, Bai Muguan sat down with his clothes, and asked bluntly: "I don't know if Shen Gongzi dared to meet, what are you doing?" ”

Shen Yu chose to stand not far from her, staring at her calmly, and slowly spoke: "Although I invited the appointment first, I want to come to Miss Bai and have something to say to Shen, otherwise I shouldn't be happy to go to the appointment." ”

He was really smart, and the girl was stunned and did not deny it: "I do have something to ask, but not for myself." ”

"Oh?" Shen Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and motioned for her to continue.

"Your Majesty intends to marry Princess Mu, and the candidate for the quasi-concubine is General Ling, but unfortunately King Xiang has a dream goddess who has no intention, and the princess does not hesitate to annoy Her Majesty these days and refuses to nod. Do you know why? Bai Muguan paid attention to Shen Yu's expression as he spoke, and saw that his expression was faint, as if he had nothing to do with him.

Shen Yu shook his head: "I don't know." ”

Bai Muguan lowered his eyes and already had the answer in his heart, was silent for a moment, and finally whispered these three words: "Because of you." ”

The moment she spoke, his thin figure obviously trembled, the shallow curvature of his pale lips disappeared, and a pool of clear eyes revealed sadness and sadness. He couldn't have imagined that the purpose of her appointment was actually to meet Princess Mu! Could it be that she had come to persuade him not to live up to the princess's infatuation?

Without taking into account his ugly face, Bai Muguan said calmly: "Princess Hemu is the proud daughter of the sky, and it is also a great blessing to be in her favor. If you have a heart for her, I might as well take care of it for you. With your identity as the eldest grandson of the Duke of Wei, even if you don't take the official career, you are barely worthy of the princess. ”

Shen Yu stared at her tightly, his eyes were gloomy, and he was silent for a long time as he covered his heart, and the corners of his beautiful pale lips flashed with a self-deprecating smile: "No need, where is the qualified princess Shang Hemu in the sick body?" Don't bother with the white girl! ”

Bai Muguan was not shocked by his refusal, pretending not to see his injured look, she only turned her face and frowned: "In this way, I can be regarded as asking your heart for the princess." ”

It turned out that she was just asking Yuwen Murou for her, Shen Yu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and the turbid qi that had just been blocked in her heart exhaled quietly, and at this moment she finally felt much clearer in front of her.

"This one for the girl." Before the words fell, he had already handed over a Su Juanpa.

Under his gentle gaze, the girl took it without excuse. Unfolded the silk handkerchief and took a closer look, and there was a picture of a beautiful woman leaning on the plum.

Instead of the usual images of costumed women in the middle of a garden full of plum blossoms, the woman in this painting is dressed in a smart military dress, with long hair tied in a ponytail and a sword tied around her waist. Holding a budding plum blossom in his hand, he seems to be sniffing the fragrance of the flowers, and seems to be thinking about something, and his eyebrows have a heroic and charming posture that is not inferior to that of a man. There were only a few blooming plum blossoms on the plum tree behind her, but the buds were densely packed with branches.

Bai Muguan recognized that the woman in the painting was herself, and couldn't help but smile and bend her apricot eyes, and even her voice was delicate: "Isn't this painting from Shen Gongzi?" ”

"Last time, the white girl said that Shen could only do a, and today I want to prove it to the girl, in addition to the, Shen also knows a little about Danqing. It's a pity that the girl should prefer pear blossoms? Shen Yu looked at her reluctantly, a smile rippling on his face and heart.

They weren't far away, they weren't close, and he could clearly smell the pear fragrance emanating from her, which was very quiet and good in the air. He ignored the etiquette and took the risk of inviting her to meet at Qinglong Temple, which was really unbearable for lovesickness. It won't be long before her figure will disappear from his field of vision, and I wonder if the next time I see her, it will be the Year of the Monkey? Lovesickness is bitter, lovesickness is difficult, and the most difficult thing is that he is lovesick alone.

"Childe is so humble, where is this a little clear, it is clearly a perfect painting skill! It's just that I do prefer pear blossoms to plum blossoms. She praised it heartily and couldn't help but reach out and touch the lifelike face of the woman in the painting. It is not easy to paint on Su Juan, but he can vividly sketch a scene and an object in the painting with a few brushstrokes, especially how vivid the woman in the painting is, which shows that his painting skills are quite powerful.

The most rare thing is that he has never seen her standing under the plum tree, and he can paint so smartly and harmoniously just by imagination, and he thinks he is sincere to her. In a blink of an eye, Bai Muguan thought of the plum forest in the backyard of the East Palace, Yu Wenye loved plants and trees, especially plum blossoms, and he accompanied her to step on the snow and fold plums that day......

At the same time, Shen Yu had already noticed that she was a little distracted, and pretended to cough a few times naturally to attract her attention.

"The weather is cold, the son is not in good health, he shouldn't stand outside the house for a long time, if he is infected with the wind cold, it is Mu Guan's sin." As she spoke, she put Su Juanpa in her arms and smiled at him, "As for this painting, I accepted it, Shen Gongzi's masterpiece, Mu Wan likes it very much." ”

He could see that she really liked it, and a person with a true temperament like her would not be coy, as long as she liked it, it was enough.

At this moment, Shen Yu's eyes looking at her became softer and softer, and her voice was quiet and peaceful: "It's getting late, Shen recklessly made an appointment to meet the white girl today, and he knew that something was wrong, so he didn't dare to act like this again next time." Why don't we go into town together? ”

"No need, Childe came in a sedan car, slower than on horseback. It's not too early, and Childe should indeed go back to the city earlier. As for Mu Guan, he went to Qinglong Temple, and wanted to go to the front hall to go to the pillar incense before leaving. ”

Hearing her euphemistic refusal, Shen Yu felt a faint disappointment in his heart, but it was not appropriate to think that they would inevitably attract people to enter the city together. Therefore, he gathered the heavy fur coat on his body, and said goodbye to her with a light smile as always: "Take the next step, and be careful on the white girl's road." ”

"In the future, the son will call me Mu Guan."

This tactful and pleasant voice sounded behind him, and a sentence aroused the tenderness of the young man, and forcibly suppressed the joy and excitement of the beating heart, Shen Yu turned his head and replied seriously: "It is better to obey than to obey." Then he walked much brisker, even when he left.

When he was far away, Bai Muguan walked alone in the direction of the front hall.

At this hour, the front hall was almost empty, and she knelt reverently on the futon in front of the Buddha statue with her fingers together, her eyes closed, and her long, thick eyelashes hanging down with small shadows. Qinglong Temple is the most effective in seeking marriage, she does not ask God to give her any wishful husbandry, only longing to be able to stay with her favorite person for the rest of her life.

I don't know when, there was an older abbot beside the girl, and his hand full of lines held a string of Buddhist beads, and when he suddenly spoke, it seemed that everything in the world was still: "This young lady went to the small temple alone, thinking that she came to pray for the next day to marry a good husband who is good in character and gentle and considerate?" ”

Bai Muguan hurriedly opened his eyes, looked sideways at the abbot, and then nodded lightly.

The old abbot smiled kindly, got up and took out a concentric knot that had been enshrined for many days from under the incense case in front of the Buddha and handed it to Bai Muguan, and then advised: "Miss will hang this concentric knot on the beam of the house, and you will be blessed to achieve your wish in the future." ”

Respectfully accepting this sacred thing, the maiden carefully put it away, and at last she thanked it gratefully: "Thank you Abbot for your kindness, the faithful girl must carefully put away this concentric knot, may it really bless my wish to come true." After that, he stepped forward and donated all the silver in his purse as sesame oil money before leaving Qinglong Temple.
