The queen pursed her lips, surprised that her heart throbbed because of such a hearty laugh. She is already old, but she is just twenty-eight years old, which is the best age for men, thinking back to the year, she was only fourteen when she married to Jinshang, and the thin and tall boy smiled and shouted sister-in-law every time he saw her......

She, who is a sister-in-law, is now the wife-in-law and the biological mother of the only prince, how can she be tempted by a man who is so many years younger than herself?

But her hard heart, which she had been honed in the deep palace for many years, refused to listen to her wishes. Watching Xiao Xiao cross the bridge steadily with Qin Yining in her arms, the queen could not suppress envy and jealousy, that feeling was really too torturous for her, making her spurn herself.

The owl sent Qin Yining across the bridge, and the four of them also crossed the bridge to protect Qin Yining's side.

Xiao Xiao turned back and stood in front of the queen, and said with a smile: "Niangniang, do you still need to rest for a while?" ”

The queen came back to her senses in a daze, and used her willpower to show no abnormality.

She struggled to get up, but she was already tired and unsteady, her feet hurt, her legs hurt, and she staggered and almost fell headlong.

Xiao Xiao hurriedly helped her with his long arms.

The queen grabbed the strong arm of the owl to stabilize her figure, but the heat from her hand seemed to burn people, her heart beat extremely fast, and she withdrew her hand in a panic.

"Is the mother okay?"

"The main palace is fine." The queen's voice was a little hoarse.

Seeing that the queen's sideburns were loose and late, she looked very embarrassed, but when she was very tired, she said: "Niangniang hold on for a while, cross this bridge and it will be flat, and you will soon arrive at the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple." ”

"Okay." The queen didn't know what to do but nod.

He walked backwards in front of him, stretching out an arm as a handrail, and the queen indulged herself in holding the arm's arm step by step, and the guards who followed the queen followed closely behind to protect behind.

Soon arrived on the other side of the bridge, and the owl strode back to Qin Yining's side, leaving the queen behind.

He was no longer needed for the rest of the road.

The queen stared, not letting anyone see her loss. If there is no accident, this is the last chance to get so close to the owl.

Looking at the young man and Qin Yining who walked towards the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple in front of them, their backs looked so compatible, the two talked and laughed, the atmosphere was so good, and the eyes that Xiao Xiao often looked at Qin Yining were also so gentle.

It's really an enviable pair.

But she shamefully had undeserved thoughts about the owl. If she can't keep the woman's way, peace and loneliness, what face does she have to be an example for women in the world? What kind of face do you use to restrain others?

Now it seems that the self-touching self is even more shameful than that between Qin Yining and Lu Heng......

The queen was tormented by self-reproach and shame. However, the throbbing was not fake, and she had no intention of appreciating the excellent scenery along the way. When she knocked on the door of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple with Qin Yining, and the monk introduced the door, the queen looked up at the two-story Bodhisattva statue, and the guilt in her heart was almost invisible under the Bodhisattva's compassionate gaze, and she bowed with her hands piously.

The queen came to worship the Buddha and pray for the blessings of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, where can such a thing be covered? Even when he came to the ear of the monk and whispered the identity of their group.

The monk raised his head in surprise and said: "Amitabha, it turns out that the distinguished guest came, and I ask the distinguished guest to forgive the poor monk for the sin of ignorance." ”

Xiao Xiao smiled and said: "The little master doesn't have to be polite, it's me who is bothering your temple." It is really because of the rain that does not stop, and I am very worried, so I rushed to your temple to worship the Buddha sincerely. ”

"It is the luck of all the people that the distinguished guest has the world in mind, but today the abbot has an old friend to visit, and the two have not returned to discuss the Dharma together, and it is really rude to not let the abbot master come to greet him personally."

"Where." The queen stepped forward with a smile and clasped her hands together, "Since you come to worship the Buddha, there is no distinction between high and low, and I also ask the little master to guide us and others." ”

"Amitabha, the queen is benevolent, and the poor monk will take all the distinguished guests to the meditation room for temporary settlement."

A few people followed the monk to settle down across the courtyard, and he told the monk that there would be people coming up one after another, and the monk took the little novice to sort out the entire meditation room across the courtyard. He also commanded the quarters to prepare a meal for fasting.

As soon as the queen settled down, she went to the main hall and knelt in front of the Buddha with her hands folded.

Everyone only thinks that she is praying for the people, but only she knows that she has undeserved emotions in her heart today, she despises herself in her heart, spurns herself, wants to find forgiveness in front of the Buddha, even if she can't, she also wants to seek peace in her heart.

Qin Yining and Xiao Xiao were also changing their clothes in the meditation room.

Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "How is it, are you tired?" ”

"I'm a little tired." Rubbing his sore legs and feet, Qin Yining said helplessly, "This mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk, far beyond imagination, I really panic when I think of when I have to go down the mountain." ”

"What are you afraid of, I'll carry you on my back then." Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "I wanted to take you around for a walk, and then go to the backyard to see the ancient trees, but now it seems that you should rest well." Anyway, the queen is here, so we are not in a hurry to go back, and it will be better to stay here for a few more days. ”

"yes. I didn't expect the queen to travel so far to come here to pray for blessings, which is really pious. Admirable. ”

Qin Yining knew that the queen sincerely hoped that the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty would live and work in peace and contentment, and the queen was pure-minded, not a person who did evil, although she had different positions, she would stand on the opposite side sooner or later in the future, but at the moment Qin Yining admired the queen very much.

Xiao Xiao smiled, and did not continue the topic, so he talked to Qin Yining about other things.

When it was dark, the group of people who accompanied the Xiao Xiao finally arrived at the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple one after another, and the monk did not dare to slack off, and ordered the little novice to lead everyone to move in, and arranged a meal.

Qin Yining found that Mu Jinghu was not seen in the crowd, so he didn't ask in person, and only when he returned to the meditation room did he ask Xiao Xiao in a low voice.

Xiao Xiao said: "I'm worried that there is something abnormal, so I ask Mu Tou to observe secretly, don't worry, let him come back after making sure that there is nothing to do." ”

"That's good. As a friend, Mu Gongzi is enough to be righteous for us. Every time I bother him, my heart is not at ease. ”

Xiao Xiao smiled: "Don't worry, I don't need to worry so much about my friendship with wood, he is sincere to me, and my sincerity is the best reward." Friends don't have to worry about each other. ”

Men's friendship is naturally different from that of women, Qin Yining knew that he acted in a measured manner, so he stopped nagging, and the two of them rested early after working all day.

At this time, in the dark hall with candles, the queen was reciting the scriptures with her eyes closed, and suddenly she heard the door of the hall behind her creak open, and there were footsteps slowly approaching.
