Chapter 720 The shadow becomes three
After nightfall, Ning Xiyue sat on the corridor with a wine glass, wearing a snow-white long skirt and a thin body, looking extremely lonely.
She filled herself with a glass of wine, slowly raised the wine glass in her hand, and said in a hoarse voice: "The so-called three people are probably nothing more than that......"
I don't know how much I drank, the wine in the cup was empty, she stumbled back to the room, drunk all night, and the next day after waking up, she became the lord of Zhaoyue without any troubles.
"It's so drunk, did the county lord drink yesterday?" She asked softly.
After hearing Yu Huan's voice, Ning Xiyue retracted her gaze and said lightly: "It's just a little bit of drinking, what's wrong?" ”
"Concubine De is going to Lingyin Temple to offer incense today, and she specially made an appointment with the county lord." Yu Huan said happily.
"Concubine De asked me, what are you happy about?" Ning Xiyue was washing.
Yu Huan pursed her lips and smiled: "Niangniang, it's rare to like a woman, a pair of bracelets that were given to the county lord before, but only the crown princess can get something, I didn't expect Niangniang to give it to you." ”
Hearing this, Ning Xiyue reacted, wiped the water on her face, and then asked questioningly: "Do you mean to say that the candidate for the crown princess in Concubine De's heart is me?" Saying that, even Ning Xiyue herself didn't believe it.
Yu Huan nodded in response, and the fool could see that the prince liked the county lord, but the county lord didn't want to understand it in his heart.
"Then it looks like I'm going to return this thing." Ning Xiyue muttered.
"How can the gift given by Concubine De be taken back, don't laugh at it."
After hearing this, Ning Xiyue suddenly became depressed, this is a misunderstanding, when she gave something, Concubine De didn't make it clear at all that it was a gift for the future princess, besides, Feng Yuxuan will marry soon, Ning Xiyue doesn't want to be misunderstood by her.
"Go and prepare, I'm going to accompany Concubine De to incense." Ning Xiyue whispered.
After leaving the house, she found that the carriage was outside, and Ning Xiyue was slightly stunned: "Xiyue asks Concubine De to say goodbye!" ”
"Get up, there is no need for these rituals outside the palace." Concubine De said gently.
Along the way, Concubine De was talking to Ning Xiyue about interesting things that happened to the prince when he was a child, and she seemed to be in a good mood, but Ning Xiyue thought of the bracelet in her hand and Concubine De, and she didn't know how to say it every time the words came to her mouth.
"Xiyue, I heard that you have been very close to the prince recently." Concubine De said with a smile, looking at Ning Xiyue's gaze, the more she looked at it, the more she felt that she liked the girl in front of her.
However, at this time, Ning Xiyue's heart was up and down, what should she say?
"That's because when Xiyue was traveling with His Highness, he was accidentally injured, so His Highness has been taking care of Xiyue." Ning Xiyue could only lie, couldn't she tell Concubine De that they went to Fuchen?
Hearing this, Concubine De had a meaningful expression on her face, and said with a smile: "Okay, what about your young people's affairs, of course this palace will not interfere, if you and the prince can get married as soon as possible, this big stone in the heart of this palace can also be put down." ”
Ning Xiyue's expression suddenly stiffened, and after thinking for a moment, she couldn't help but say, "Did Niangniang misunderstand me and His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”
"Where is there any misunderstanding, if you can marry the prince, how many people are looking forward to it, doesn't the emperor think so too?" Concubine De said with a deep face.
Ning Xiyue, who was stunned in place, didn't react to what happened for a long time, what is this, what should she say?
Finally, in an awkward atmosphere, the carriage arrived at the temple.
Ning Xiyue raised her eyes and looked at the temple in front of her, every time she smelled the breath of this incense, her heart would inexplicably settle down.
"Why don't you go in?" Concubine De asked suddenly.
After coming back to her senses, Ning Xiyue cleared her throat and kept up with Concubine De.
The bell slowly echoed in her ears, and Ning Xiyue walked in the temple with gentle steps, looking at the big Buddha enshrined in the hall, she didn't know what she was thinking. She has never believed in Buddhism or ghosts, so why did she come to this place today?
After learning the movements of Concubine De, she lit a stick of incense, knelt on the mat and bowed three times, and said secretly in her heart: I don't beg for wealth or power, I hope that the people I want to protect can be safe and sound.
"I'm going to see an old friend, Xiyue, let's take a look around first." Concubine De said gently.
Ning Xiyue hummed lightly, and only after watching Concubine De leave, did she retract her gaze.
She walked alone, and then walked into an old ancestral hall, where there was a white-bearded old monk in a robe, Ning Xiyue walked over slowly, and after taking a fixed look, she said, "Abbot, where is the way out here?" ”
Ning Xiyue circled around it twice, and finally returned here.
After hearing her voice, the old monk paused for a while before slowly opening his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Dare to ask the donor where you want to find a way out?" ”
"Naturally, it is ...... in the ancestral hall"
"The roads in the ancestral hall are all leading in all directions, can't the donor find it?" As she spoke, the old monk looked at her.
After hearing this, Ning Xiyue's gaze became a little more complicated, and then she sat on the cushion at her feet and asked in a low voice: "The little girl has always been restless recently, sometimes like a walking corpse, and I ask the abbot to give me some guidance." ”
The old monk handed her a bamboo tube and whispered, "There are sixty-six sticks here, and you can draw one of them." ”
After Ning Xiyue closed her eyes and shook the bamboo sticks, the entire bamboo tube was scattered, she glanced apologetically at the old monk, and then squatted down and began to pick up the bamboo sticks scattered on the ground.
"Sixty-three, sixty-four, sixty-five...... "Hey, why is there one missing?"
She continued to look on the ground, but she didn't find it for a long time, then bent down and found the bamboo stick under the incense hall, wiped the incense ash on it, and then handed it to the old monk.
The old monk glanced at the signature in his hand, pinched his fingers, and then looked at Ning Xiyue with a complicated look and said: "The anger on the female benefactor is too heavy, if you want to resolve all the grievances and grievances, you need to sincerely confess to the Buddha, otherwise I am afraid that even the people around you will not be at peace." ”
Her face suddenly turned pale: "What does the abbot mean, I want to become a monk?" ”
This is the correct explanation, the female benefactor's eight-character weight, the young will be restrained, and the young will be kefu...... If you use half your life of piety to return peace to the people around you, what's wrong? The old monk said slowly.
"A peaceful ......," she kept saying on her lips.
The old monk muttered something to himself, and then looked at her with a profound gaze and said, "The female benefactor is related to the Buddhist family, so why hesitate?" ”
