Bai Ling said in a low voice: "Gege, don't think that Concubine Gongjing despises her because of her straightforward temperament, how can it be simple to be able to do the position of the main concubine?" However, Concubine Gongjing has a saying that is right: now, the emperor attaches more and more importance to Gege, although Gege has no intention, but you can't keep you as an enemy, it is better to be careful in everything. ”

Sizhen was a little curious: "How can Sister Bailing see that she is not simple?" ”

Bai Ling pressed the towel and handed it to Sizhen to wipe his hands, "The slaves and maids have seen a lot of people in the palace, and after a long time, they have learned to observe words and feelings." If you talk about family help, who has no background behind the mothers of the two clans in this palace? Concubine Gongjing was able to rise to the position of the main concubine, of course, because she entered the palace early and her family was relied on by the emperor, but another reason was that she herself could be left and right, didn't you find it, even if Concubine Duanshun was the mother, she rarely provoked her. ”

"Slave maid look, Concubine Gongjing's eyes flickered when she spoke today, and she didn't dare to look at the other party like Gege, so I think you should be careful, don't be deceived by her seemingly upright appearance......"

Bai Ling is right, a person's eyes flicker, indicating that her mind is too active, even if she doesn't have crooked thoughts about Gege, she won't have any sincerity. In short, there has been a lot of talk about you in the palace recently, so Gege still has to be careful. ”

This time it was Mama Du who spoke, she and Sizhen got along for a long time, and found that although Sizhen was simple-minded, she was not a straightforward and stupid person, but she didn't like to fight with intrigue.

Although Sizhen knows that Mama Du and Bailing are the Queen Mother's people, and they are responsible for telling the Queen Mother about her situation here, she has nothing to tell the Queen Mother here, she just needs them to serve with their hearts, as for the loyal or disloyal, as long as they don't frame her behind their backs, she doesn't care, in this way, between the master and servant, there is nothing to say, and she can also get Mama Du from time to time to talk about some experience in the palace.

Therefore, after listening to what the two of them said, Sizhen smiled: "I understand, you are worried that I will be said a few good words by others, so you will be coaxed to know the southeast, northwest, south, west." Don't worry, although I don't have the intention of harming others, I also know that I must guard against others. As for the flickering eyes of the obedient concubine, it is because of your character, your eyes are like torches, and few people can stand it. ”

Since learning martial arts with Qi Niangzi, Sizhen has often shouted that her eyes are better than before, and now when she speaks, she puts on a blazing look, and everyone laughs.

Gege has been too eye-catching lately, causing the strings in their hearts to be tightened a little, and it is rare to have a time to stretch.

After a few jokes, Sizhen asked someone to take the yellow calendar to see, she counted the days and said: "It has been ten days since I came back from Her Royal Highness the princess last time......

She turned her head and asked the thrush: "Her Royal Highness the princess sent to the palace, has the person who invited me to come over the palace come?" ”

The thrush shook his head and said no, and then said with some concern: "Didn't Concubine Duanshun say in front of the Queen Mother last time, don't you keep running outside the palace, if Her Royal Highness the princess invites you out of the palace again, I'm afraid that it will cause complaints!"

"Don't worry about her, as long as the queen mother doesn't say that I won't be allowed to leave the palace, it doesn't matter if they are dissatisfied."

Sizhen pushed away the yellow calendar, picked up a few grapes on the table, she finished eating the grapes and said: "In this palace, there are already all kinds of constraints, if I care about the mood of all the ladies anymore, don't think about one day to live a loose life." And when I went out of the palace, I didn't get it by bullying them, so why bother! In a few days, it will be Concubine Jing's birthday, and I want to take advantage of this trip out of the palace to choose a birthday gift she likes to give her. ”

Bai Ling raised his head with emotion: "In this palace, in addition to the Queen Mother, she will also treat Concubine Jing Niangniang as well, consistently!" ”

"Because Concubine Jing was born beautiful, I always feel that with such a clear pair of eyes, my mind will not be bad." Sizhen thought that last year, Concubine Jing was still the queen, and the woman with beautiful eyes should have been the best age, but she fell silent like a flower that withered early, and her mood was a little low.

A few thrushes, and just as they didn't know how to comfort her, they heard the little palace maid outside report: "Gege, Her Royal Highness the princess has sent someone to invite you to come over, and the queen mother has already agreed." ”

**

On the west hill of the capital, there is an ancient temple of Buddhism with a history of thousands of years - Lingguang Temple, Lingguang Temple was built in the Tang Dynasty during the Great Calendar (AD 766 to 779), the original name Longquan Temple, the Liao Dynasty had expanded, the Jin Dynasty changed its name to Jueshan Temple, the Ming Dynasty Chenghua was rebuilt for 15 years, and it was renamed Lingguang Temple.

The last time I went back to the princess's house, Jianning said that he wanted to take Sizhen to Lingguang Temple to see the Buddha's tooth relics pagoda, saying that this tower has eight edges and thirteen layers, the whole body is white, and there are sixteen iron lamp niches, and the color of the tower is crystal clear like jade at night, which is very magnificent.

When Jianning travels, there are more than a dozen carriages alone, not to mention the guards who open the road and follow in advance, when walking on the street, the line of freshly dressed and angry horses makes the people on the side of the road can't help but stop and can't help but look.

Sizhen has rarely come out since she entered the palace, and occasionally the queen mother took everyone out to incense, and she felt that she and Jianning were too young, and they were afraid that the incense in the temple would not be good for them, so she didn't bring them, so she went to Lingguang Temple for the first time, and even the melodious sound of the bell chime heard at the foot of the mountain, she also felt excited.

"Look at this poor boy, who can be so happy to hear even a bell!" After Jianning got married, he went to Guangji Temple with Wu Yingxiong once, and he didn't have the freshness of Sizhen for this bell.

Noticing Sizhen's expression, she also pretended to be old and stroked Sizhen's hair hanging behind her.

Nowadays, even in the palace, Sizhen sometimes wears Hanfu, and when he goes out this time, he changes his body into Hanfu that is conducive to travel, otherwise, just the bottom of the flower pot can kill people when he walks.

So her hair today is not the two handfuls that are often combed in the palace, but the double ring bun before the Han girl reaches the hair, and the sideburns hang down.

Even Jianning, who was accustomed to seeing her, felt that after Sizhen changed into Hanfu, there was another kind of beauty, and she couldn't help regretting it: "I knew that I should have worn Hanfu like you, so that I would not be persuaded by my forehead to prevent me from climbing up to Lingguang Temple by myself, you say, I went up in that sedan chair, how could the Bodhisattva know my piety!" ”

Sizhen said with a smile: "Even if Her Royal Highness the princess changes into Hanfu, she will not agree to let you go up the mountain by yourself." The son of a daughter can't sit down! ”

She deliberately glanced at Jianning's feet: "Besides, you used to be in the palace when you couldn't walk ten steps, so you shouted that your feet hurt, there are hundreds of steps in this Lingguang Temple, where can you go up?" Don't worry, you're here, it's sincere, and the Bodhisattva doesn't care. ”

The princess's mansion Shangxiang naturally sent the housekeeper over early, and when they got out of the car, they saw a monk waiting at the door, and when the arrangements were made, they followed the original plan, Jianning took a soft sedan chair up the mountain, and Sizhen took a few larks and thrushes, followed by a few guards, and walked up the mountain.

Lingguang Temple is a well-known temple, so there are not a lot of people who come here to incense, there are ordinary people naturally have dignitaries like Jianning, there are also some rich and noble families, in order to show the devotion to the Bodhisattva, walk up the mountain, the ladies are wearing hats, the four chastity are mixed in it, but it is not dazzling.

It was almost the middle of winter, Sizhen was wearing a silver mouse gown with blue water, a royal blue panjin cotton skirt, and a three-layer gauze hat.

Leading them up the hill was a little novice, he looked around, and felt that the fat girl Huang Ying who was walking behind seemed to be the best to speak, so he took a few steps behind and asked her quietly: "Fat sister, how can you go so fast?" I grew up in the mountains since I was a child, and I had to carry water three times a day with my brothers and sisters from the bottom of the mountain, so I practiced walking like flying, how can you sisters walk so fast? ”

Huang Ying raised her head proudly: "Of course, my family Gege is the daughter of King Dingnan, do you know King Dingnan?" That's our great general with excellent martial arts in the Qing Dynasty, and my family is behind the gate, so it's naturally different from the young ladies you see on weekdays......"

The thrush in front of him listened, turned around and said softly: "Huang Ying, don't talk too much, hurry up the mountain, don't be too late, let Her Royal Highness the princess wait." Gege can say, you've gained a lot of weight lately, so you have to walk a little more to lose weight. ”

Huang Ying stuck out her tongue and chased after the thrushes.

Several people didn't notice that not long after they left, two figures flashed out behind the green pine next to the stone steps of the mountain road.

One of them, with dark eyebrows, a tall nose, narrow and slightly raised phoenix eyes, and thin lips seemed to evoke a smile forever.

It was a dazzlingly handsome face.

The face of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy.

It was Kong Yanling who sneaked into the palace last year.

"Dingnan Palace? Chattered? Kong Yanling's good-looking phoenix eyes narrowed, "Kong Sizhen, the older you are, the more unruly you are, as a woman, you don't even take a sedan chair, and are accompanied by a man and walk up the mountain, you wait, see how I clean you up." ”

He spoke in a very low voice, and the attendant next to him didn't hear a word clearly, so he asked, "Young Master, what did you say?" ”

"Go up the mountain."

The dark-faced, rather sturdy entourage looked at him in surprise: "But, young master, we have just come down the mountain!" ”

Kong Yanling kicked him: "Don't talk nonsense, your young master will go up the mountain when I say it." ”

This kick was obviously not heavy, and the attendant muttered, "The old lady asked you to find Zhen Gege when you enter Beijing this time...... Gege, just now the fat girl said that her family Gege is from the Dingnan Palace......"

His eyes suddenly lit up, and he pulled his legs and chased after Kong Yanling: "Young master, young master, they are from Dingnan Palace, let's catch up now, it's still too late, hey, why don't you take the avenue, it's going to the back mountain......"

In the mountains and forests, Kong Yanling Qingyue's voice came: "Fugui, if you talk more, go home." ”
