Chapter 172: Summoning (1st Update)
Lishan is not close to Chang'an, the carriage winds on the winding mountain road, Gu Mingyue sat quietly in the carriage, holding a copy of the "Nanhua Sutra" in her hand, half-closed her eyes and chanted in a low voice, the dress on her body was changed to plain silk material, no fat powder was applied, and she looked like she was concentrating on meditation.
Mama Song sat aside, looking at Gu Mingyue with slanted eyes, she was instructed when she came, she should take good care of the second lady, she must pay attention to any moves, and don't let her make trouble in Qinglian Temple again.
But on this day, it seems that the second lady has no other thoughts, and she is thinking about going to Guanli Qingxiu, not only did they take away all the jewelry and dresses, but they also did not have the slightest picky requirements for food and accommodation along the way, and Song Mama and Xiaoyun arranged to take care of it, she just recited the scriptures and hurried.
"Second lady, walk a little further and you will arrive at Qinglian Temple, the host of the female crown in the view has already received the news, and it has been arranged properly, and the wing room has been prepared, what else does the lady have to say?" Mama Song said with a smile, but those sharp eyes scanned Gu Mingyue's body.
Gu Mingyue quietly flipped through a page of scriptures, and did not raise her eyebrows: "Mama is arranged, I just need a clean place to be able to chant incense every day, and pray for the old lady and the house." ”
After more than a day of jolting on the carriage, he finally stopped in front of the Qinglian Temple in the depths of Lishan.
This Taoist temple has gray walls and green tiles, and the varnish gate is closed, only a little Taoist boy is waiting outside the door, and when he sees the carriage coming, he stepped forward and made a joke: "Dare to ask if it is the carriage from the Gu family?" ”
Mama Song opened the curtain and nodded with a smile with the little Taoist boy: "Exactly, there is a word from Lao Tong." ”
Xiao Daotong looked curiously at the carriage with the curtain down: "The abbot immortal master ordered again, please let a few people go in with me, the wing room and utensils have been prepared, and you can take it yourself." ”
Mama Song was stunned, she didn't expect that the female crown of Qinglian Guan would treat the people of the Gu family like this, and she didn't even see them, so she let them settle down on their own.
She turned around and went back to the carriage to carry the baggage, let Xiaoyun help Gu Mingyue get out of the car, and followed Xiaodaotong to the temple.
Gu Mingyue was silent, supported by Xiaoyun, but she was holding the "Nanhua True Scripture" tightly in her hand, and lowered her eyes to enter this simple and inconspicuous Qinglian Temple.
The more she went inside, the more her heart sank, she had long heard that Lishan Qinglian Temple was a place of asceticism, but she never thought that it was really so simple, Gu Mingzhu asked people to send her here, just to torture her.
But she is unwilling, she is unwilling after all, she should have been the one who married into the royal scenery, but now she has to be locked up here, how can she be willing!
However, this will not be the end, she will go back one day, she wants to see Gu Mingzhu fall at her feet with her own eyes, and regret being her enemy!
Gu Mingyue thought of this, and her hand grasped the copy of "Nanhua Heart Sutra", as if she wanted to embed it in the flesh.
It's just that her hatred, Gu Mingzhu in Chang'an didn't know, and a female historian came to the palace early in the morning and summoned her into the palace to meet Princess Anping.
After changing her dress, Gu Mingzhu came out to greet the female history: "There is a labor female history to go through." ”
The female historian was waiting by Princess Anping's side, and she was also familiar with Gu Mingzhu, she originally smiled and said that she didn't dare to be, but when she looked up and saw Gu Mingzhu's dress, she was taken aback.
I saw Gu Mingzhu wearing a moire plain satin skirt and a bamboo green Luo skirt, with only two green jade hairpins on her head, and no other makeup, she looked very simple, which was fine, but the female history recognized at a glance that the dress Gu Mingzhu was wearing was clearly half-new and not old, and the patterns were also very unfashionable, but it looked like a popular style in Chang'an last year.
Could it be that the eldest lady of the Gu family is wearing an old dress from last year?
This is too unusual, many ladies and ladies in your mansion in Chang'an, but no one has ever worn an old dress into the palace to meet them, not to mention shabby, even if people know it, it is a big joke.
If it was a lady from another family, it would be fine, but how could the lady in front of her, who is obviously a hussar general's mansion, make such a joke?
The female history speculated in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it after all, so she lowered her head and asked Gu Mingzhu to board the car.
The carriage went all the way into the Taiji Palace, and when it arrived in front of the Qianqiu Palace, I heard the palace maid say that Princess Anping had just gone to the Ganlu Hall to ask the Queen of Heaven to ask for peace, and left a message, saying that if Gu Mingzhu came, she would go to the Ganlu Palace to see her.
The female history was a little puzzled, obviously the queen of heaven had not been summoned today, and this time was not the time when the princess went to the Ganlu Hall to celebrate peace in the past, why was it different today, and she also summoned the eldest lady of the Gu family to the palace.
It's just that she didn't dare to disobey, and came out of the hall to explain a few words to Gu Mingzhu and asked her to go to the Manna Palace.
When the carriage went back to the Ganlu Palace, it had been going around for more than half an hour, and the concubines had already asked the queen of heaven to be safe, and they retreated in twos and threes, and each went back to the palace.
Gu Mingzhu stood at the foot of the jade steps of the Ganlu Palace, bowing his head and respectfully waiting for Princess Anping's summons.
"Lady of the Gu family, please come with the maid." After a while, the palace maid came down and invited Gu Mingzhu with a smile, "Princess Anping is in the palace, please come in and talk." ”
When I entered the palace gate, I saw a queen dressed in a bright yellow shirt and wearing a phoenix crown listening to Princess Anping's words with a smile: "...... Dr. Lu said that I don't know poetry and literature, and I don't know history, if I am really a little man, I am afraid that I will not learn the skills, and also said that it is not good for me to study with the second brother and the third brother, so it is better to choose a companion for me to read and follow. ”
The queen of heaven listened to her grievances, looked at her dejected appearance, couldn't help laughing, and nodded her forehead: "It's good now, someone can take care of you, otherwise I will be greedy for fun and cause trouble all day long, which will make me very sad." ”
She said to Princess Anping: "Dr. Lu is a great Confucian in the world, you have to respect him well, don't cause trouble, I will choose a suitable companion with you." ”
She looked at Gu Mingzhu, who had already entered the palace, and looked at Princess Anping with some puzzlement: "How do you think that you summoned Mrs. Gu into the palace today?" ”
Princess Anping's round eyes rolled around, and she smiled crookedly with the queen: "A-Niang, I was so bored in the palace all day, and you didn't allow me to go out of the palace, so I had to summon the eldest sister of the Gu family into the palace to tell me about the interesting things outside, and you haven't called me over for a while, so let's listen to it together." ”
She was like a twisted candy, pestering the queen of heaven and squeezing her mother, and she had no choice but to nod her head: "That's it, that's it, you let her come over and talk, I still have to read the Di newspaper, just watch and listen to you here." ”
Princess Anping nodded happily, beckoned to Gu Mingzhu over there, and glanced over slyly, very proud.
