Chapter 49: Here comes the opportunity

A few days later, the queen mother suddenly proposed to the emperor to take some concubines from the harem to Jingguo Temple to fast for two days and pray for blessings.

It turns out that the emperor has ascended the throne so far, and there are many women in the harem but no heirs. When the queen gave birth to the eldest prince safely, the other concubines finally couldn't sit still, and begged the queen mother several times to take them to pray for blessings. The queen mother didn't care at first, after all, the queen was her niece, and after having the eldest son, she didn't care if the other concubines were pregnant. But under pressure, he could only agree, but he only decided to take the concubines above the noble concubine out of the palace to pray for blessings.

Luo Qianqian originally thought that praying for blessings had nothing to do with him, but he didn't expect the Queen Mother to be coaxed by the white cat to be happy during this time, and she really wanted to take it wherever she went, and she took the white cat directly to the phoenix on the day of the trip.

No, Luo Qianqian could only follow all the way to Jingguo Temple.

Jingguo Temple is located on a high mountain in three miles outside the imperial capital, according to legend, a hundred years ago there was a monk who was saved by the emperor, the emperor saw that his Buddhism was profound, so he built a temple here, in order to facilitate him to preach the scriptures. The monk was grateful to the emperor for what he had done, named the temple Jingguo Temple, and then passed away here, leaving a relic to be worshiped by later generations.

And the incense of Jingguo Temple has been passed down for a hundred years, also because this temple is indeed magical. If you come here to fast and pray sincerely, you will definitely be answered.

Therefore, whether it is the emperor's relatives or the peddlers' pawns, they will come here to pray for blessings.

When the Queen Mother and her entourage arrived at Jingguo Temple, it was already sunset, and the accompanying officers and soldiers stepped forward to close the entrance and exit of the mountain gate, and the host of Jingguo Temple, who was dressed in monk's robes, came up with his hands folded and said: "Amitabha, poor monks see Queen Mother, Queen Mother Thousand Years Old, Thousand Years Old." ”

The queen mother's prayer for the blessing was said suddenly, so no one came to Jingguo Temple in advance to notice, and the host also heard that the little novice under the mountain hurriedly came to report, and hurriedly took people down the mountain to greet him, but he was also nervous, and he didn't know why the distinguished guests came suddenly.

The Queen Mother sat in the phoenix chariot and said in a soft voice: "The master doesn't need to be polite, the mourning family didn't notify the master in advance in the hurry of coming this time, and I hope the master will forgive." ”

"Amitabha, don't dare, don't dare!" Hearing this, Wanzhang hurriedly bent down deeply and bowed, and said, "I don't know what the Queen Mother has to tell the poor monks." ”

This time he answered his words by a white-faced, beardless thin and tall eunuch beside the Queen Mother, and he shook off the Buddha's dust and said: "The Queen Mother and a group of nobles are going to fast and pray for blessings in Jingguo Temple for two days, and the abbot master will quickly clean up the irrelevant personnel in the temple, so as not to disturb the Queen Mother." ”

Hearing this, the abbot nodded hurriedly and said, "Amitabha, there are only women from the Luo family in the temple at present, so the old man will send someone to inform them." ”

"Wait" The Queen Mother suddenly said: "The Luo family you are talking about, but the people from the Luo Shang Mansion in the city?" ”

"Exactly."

The Luo family is also there? The white cat nestled in the arms of the palace maid on the side suddenly pricked up its ears when she heard this.

The Queen Mother was silent for a moment and said, "Don't worry, tell the mourning family first." ”

The abbot hurriedly said: "Empress Dowager Qiqi, it's just that the eldest lady of the Luo family has a few young ladies, and there are not many people. ”

The Queen Mother nodded and said: "If there are not many of them, there is no need to send them, just settle them well, and the mourning family is not afraid of disturbing." ”

The white cat behind him narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, what a coincidence! I wonder if the second miss of the Luo family, who is called a stupid girl, came with her?

When the abbot heard this, he clasped his hands together and said: "Amitabha, the Queen Mother will definitely make her wish come true!" Ladies and gentlemen, please come with the poor monks. ”

The group abandoned the carriage and horses, and climbed the stairs step by step.

The construction of this Jingguo Temple is also peculiar, all the carriages and horses can not go up at all, if you want to enter the temple to pray for blessings, you must go up step by step.

Some pious people will even walk up to the top of the mountain one step at a time.

Fortunately, the mountain is not too high, and everyone is not walking fast, when they reach the gate of the temple on the top of the mountain, the queen mother's face still does not change, and many of the concubines behind her are flushed and panting.

The most idle here is the little white cat, which was held in the arms of the whole process, which is called a relaxation!

At the entrance of the temple, a group of people were already kneeling at the door, and when they saw the Queen Mother coming up, they immediately kowtowed and said: "See the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is a thousand years old!" ”

The Queen Mother stood still, raised her hand and said, "Flat." ”

"Empress Dowager Xie!" The group at the door bowed again and then stood up one by one. At this time, a woman standing in the back walked forward with a girl in white and said: "The woman of Shangshu Mansion You Shi didn't know that the Queen Mother came to the temple, for fear of disturbing the Queen Mother's prayers, so let the subordinates clean up and ask the Queen Mother to forgive her sins!" ”

The Queen Mother looked at the few slim girls standing behind the eldest lady, and said with a slight smile: "It's okay to worry." It was not early, and the mourning family also instructed the abbot not to send you down the mountain. It doesn't hurt to rest in peace for the night. ”

When the eldest lady heard this, she immediately led the woman behind her to kneel on the ground and thanked the Queen Mother for her grace.

Luo Qianqian was behind the Queen Mother, and at a glance, he saw behind the eldest lady, and Luo Qingqian, the second lady of the Luo family, who was kneeling and bowing.

It's really lucky, and the city walls can't stop it!

Luo Qianqian's heart was excited, and he couldn't help meowing.

When the queen mother heard this, she turned her head to look at the little white cat in the palace maid's arms, and said gently: "You naughty ghost, this is a place for Buddhism to cultivate, don't be naughty." ”

Seeing that the white cat was quiet in the arms of the palace maid, the Queen Mother turned around and beckoned behind the eldest lady and said, "Sunny girl, come here." ”

Luo Qingqian, who was originally standing at the end of the crowd and was dressed in green clothes, saw that a pair of beautiful eyes had bent up when he saw the Queen Mother, and immediately ran out of the crowd like a child after hearing the call, and came to the Queen Mother. ”

Seeing this, the Queen Mother smiled happily: "You girl, you haven't seen you for a few days, but you have grown." It's just that this size is still so thin. Come, the mourning family will show you something good. ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand and asked the palace maid holding the white cat to come forward.

"Yikes! What a beautiful kitten! Luo Qingqian's eyes lit up as soon as she saw the white cat like a snowball, and she reached out to hug it without even thinking about it.

How dare the palace maid let her take it, and hurriedly took half a step back. Who would have thought that the white cat in his hand seemed to have spirituality, stretching out his two small front paws and pounced into Luo Qingqian's arms.

This pounce happened to fall into Luo Qingqian's outstretched arm, and Luo Qingqian took the opportunity to take the white cat into his arms.

"The Queen Mother, you see that it likes to be shallow!" At this moment, Luo Qingqian was like a child who had eaten candy, and her face was flushed with excitement. A pair of starry eyes shine dazzlingly, like twinkling stars in the sky, which makes people look at it intoxicatingly.

Seeing this, the eldest lady of the Luo family behind her hurriedly scolded: "Second girl, don't be rude, don't hurry up and make amends to the Queen Mother!" ”

Luo Qingqian, who was looking excited, was stunned when she heard this, and hurriedly looked at the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, Qingqian is sorry." ”

The Queen Mother couldn't help but smile and said, "What are you sorry for?" ”

Luo Qingqian was even more panicked when she heard this, and stood in place with the kitten in her arms, stammering and not knowing what to say.

When the Queen Mother saw her appearance, she didn't want to tease her anymore, so she smiled and said: "Xue'er seems to be destined for you, so you can hold it for the mourning family first." ”

This honor suddenly turned red into the eyes of a group of people.

The white cat lying in Luo Qingqian's arms looked at the group of women of the Luo family from above Luo Qingqian's arm, and sure enough, among the young women behind the old lady of the Luo family, several of them looked at Luo Qingqian with unkind eyes, especially a woman wearing a green Luo skirt with a round face and big eyes. That look was like a knife, and it hung fiercely on Luo Qingqian in front of him!

And the weak woman in the same dress next to her, who was indeed in a light blue dress, looked at Luo Qingqian's eyes very strangely. There is a faint resentment and more a thick disdain, no matter how you look at it, it looks like you're looking at ants.

And the woman in the white soft gauze skirt standing next to the eldest lady had no waves and no traces, as if she didn't care at all. It's just that those clenched hands leaked her mood.

At this moment, the little novice of the temple hurriedly ran out and announced that the rest place in the back mountain had been arranged. The Queen Mother nodded slightly, and the group entered the temple in a mighty manner.

Although the big white cat was held by Luo Qingqian, she had no chance to enter Luo Qingqian's body. One is that there are many people around, and the other is that Qing Ling also said that there are many Buddhist weapons and magic weapons here, and the oppression of ghosts and monsters is also great, so he doesn't dare to make any big moves for the time being.

The Queen Mother asked Luo Qingqian to sit beside her, and ordered the palace maid Yingluo to deliver a plate of pastries to her. Luo Qingqian raised her head and said with a smile like a flower: "Thank you, Queen Mother." With that, he reached out and took a bite of the pastry without pretentiousness, and sighed, "It's delicious!" The Queen Mother, can you get some more? ”

The Queen Mother just likes to look at Luo Qingqian's eyes that can look to the end, as if she can directly see the depths of her heart. Therefore, she didn't think that Luo Qingqian's words and actions were out of place at all, but thought that she was really cute.

The Queen Mother smiled slightly and said, "Yingluo, take another box for the second lady." Qingqian, tell the mourning family why you have to take it again, aren't these enough for you to eat? ”

Luo Qingqian shook his head and said, "Qingqian can eat a piece, these Qingqian want to take it back to the eldest lady and give them a taste." And also...... I want to give my mother, father, and brother a taste. ”

After speaking, Luo Qingqian's voice slowly became smaller, and he involuntarily lowered his head and said, "Queen Mother, is Qingqian too greedy." This pastry is shallow. ”

Yingluo on the side smiled when she saw this and said, "Second Miss, don't worry, this pastry is available." The Queen Mother asks you to take it, just take it. ”

Luo Qingqian raised her head when she heard this, looked at the Queen Mother a little timidly, and said, "Really? ”

Seeing the Queen Mother smiling and nodding, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and happily ate the pastries in her hand.

Seeing Luo Qingqian eating happily, the Queen Mother asked, "When did you and the old lady come to the temple?" ”

While eating, Luo Qingqian gently pinched the little paws of the white cat's meat, blinked her big crystal eyes and said, "We have been in the temple for two days?" ”
