Chapter 138: The Royal Temple Fair

The ancestors of the Mo family raised troops in the name of "the Buddha entrusted the dream, and the world returned to one", and after several years of war, swept through all the vassal states, unified the land of the Central Plains, and opened a chapter in the Western Sui Dynasty.

Therefore, the Western Sui Dynasty mainly believed in Buddhism, and in order to "repay the vow", the ancestors of the Western Sui Dynasty set the day of unification as the day of the Buddha's fate, which means the temple fair.

On the day of the temple fair, when the emperor leads the ministers, the queen brings a group of harem concubines, as well as the female dependents brought by the ministers to make heavenly rituals and vows, and the people can watch the ceremony.

So the sky is foggy and bright, Hanshan Temple has already been full of people, the incense is very prosperous, all for a glimpse of this year's grand event.

Mo Chuye was dressed in a yellow robe, *solemn, and climbed the ladder of the altar step by step. The ladder slopes upwards as if it could really ascend to the heavens, and on the altar, Master Ho Lin and the three respected elders of the temple chant and pray together.

The heads of the people under the high platform trembled, but it was extremely quiet. The ministers all meditated, and because Mo Chuye did not set up a queen, the female dependents were headed by the queen mother. Except for the queen mother who meditated on the pu mat and the concubines who sat on the ground, the rest of the female dependents mainly knelt on their knees.

The festival lasted for two hours before the curtain came to an end, but according to the past practice, those who participate in the ceremony today should stay in the place of Buddha and eat vegetarian food for two days before they can be considered complete.

The squatter houses of Hanshan Temple are limited, so except for the emperor's relatives and harem concubines, the rest of the people have to live in temporary tents.

Because the camp tent was set up in the back forest of Hanshan Temple, the back forest of Hanshan Temple, which has always been cold, was rarely lively. The tents were occupied by the ministers of the dynasty and their wives.

"Miss, slow down. Ruyi helped Yu Xuanji to walk on the path in the forest. Looking at the sweaty young lady of her own family, she was distressed.

"Hmm. She gritted her teeth, but she still gasped.

Kneeling on the bluestone slab for two hours, if she had changed in the past, she would not be so delicate, but she had an old injury on her knee, and kneeling like this would undoubtedly make matters worse. Coupled with Mu Liangxue's tossing last night, her legs were still soft and her waist was still sore, so for a while, the whole person was as uncomfortable as being run over by a carriage, and her knees were numb and crispy......

However, the people who participated in the ceremony were not much better than her, rubbing their buttocks while meditating, and walking on their knees were a little more difficult than her, just like Liu Die'er, Yu Wanyin and others.

Compared with her step-by-step, they can be said to be unable to move an inch.

"Cousin Xuanji. ”

As he was walking, he heard the sound of cold weather in the distance.

"Cousin Tianche. She looked back and smiled.

Since Qiu'er had a difficult birth, she rarely went to the Guogong Mansion again, even if she went, she went to the old Guogong's place to sit, and then returned to the Hou Mansion, and he drowned in the military aircraft academy for a long time, and never met once every time he returned home.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, but your complexion is much better. As he got closer, he looked her up and down, and smiled heartily, but his eyes paused for a moment on her slightly bent knees, as if thoughtful.

She subconsciously touched her face, and involuntarily thought of Mu Liangxue, This thought doesn't matter, the most important thing is that this little face is a little ruddy.

If you have an opinion, you can't help but purse your lips and snicker, look at Miss's appearance, maybe she thinks of Hou Ye, and I don't know what's wrong recently? Miss is always like this when she is in a daze, and she asks a few words of ridicule, and she knows that she thinks about Hou Ye.

"I wonder how Cousin Tianche is doing lately?" she smiled with a sigh of relief.

"Except for the military aircraft academy training, it is still safe. His eyes were a little dark, and even his smile was a little tired.

"Even if the military training is heavy, Cousin Tianche must pay attention to rest, don't tire your body. She looked at him and frowned, her tone slightly reproachful. But I don't know if it's her delusion, she always feels that Leng Tianche who she knew at the beginning seems to be very depressed at the moment, and even her eyes seem to be dim.

She thought he was overworked, but she didn't know that the reason was that he didn't love his wife, and he couldn't love it......

"Okay, remember. He chuckled under his breath before answering.

"I heard that Yumen Pass has been disturbed by the Hu people on the border recently?" She suddenly remembered that a few days ago, Ye Zhong came to report that when their caravan passed into Yumen Pass, they were disturbed by the Hu people and intercepted a lot of things.

"How do you know?" he looked at her with a look of surprise and suspicion on his face.

Now that she is in the courtyard of the deep house, it is indeed surprising enough to know about this, and the reason why Leng Tianche is suspicious is because of Mu Liangxue's relationship, and he is afraid that he will do something secretly. After all, above the court, Leng Tianche and Mu Liangxue are "enemies" who are incompatible with fire and water.

One is unwilling to be a minister, holding power, and the other is loyal to the Lord and swears allegiance to the death.

"Didn't Cousin Tianche forget that I have a caravan?" She knew the doubts in his heart, so she saw through it and smiled.

Leng Tianche pursed his lips and smiled suddenly:

"The emperor intends to send me there, and I may have to leave soon. Speaking of the back, there was a little reluctance.

When he saw her in Kyoto and knew that she was safe, he was satisfied, and now when he went to Yumen Pass, I am afraid that he would become a luxury.

"The Hu people are arrogant, cunning and changeable. Cousin Tianche needs to be more careful. She frowned.

"Rest assured. He gave her a reassuring smile, only to find that her forehead was covered with fine cold sweat, so she remembered that she knelt for two hours at the time of the memorial.

In his heart, he couldn't help but raise his hand to help her.

"Where your tent is, I will carry you there. As he spoke, he made a gesture to pick her up, but he didn't even give her a chance to refuse.

Yu Xuanji wanted to refuse him, but he did it in one go, which made her unable to open her mouth.

Although they are cousins, now she is Mu Liangxue's concubine, and he also has a family, there are many people here, so he has to avoid suspicion.

Fang just picked her up, and for some reason, Leng Tianche only felt that his wrist seemed to be in pain as if he was being devoured by ten thousand Gu, and between his brows, his hand was subconsciously released.

And she was caught off guard and fell to the ground like an iron ball.

"Miss!" Ruyi exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly helped Yu Xuanji up. Looking at her young lady's painful grinning, but still forbearing, she couldn't help but stare at Leng Tianche who was full of self-blame while feeling distressed.

"Where does Ben Hou think General Leng has gone? Dare to love here?" Mu Liangxue sneered and walked over, and the tail note was suddenly dyed with a chill. Yu Guang glanced at Yu Xuanji, who was not very good-looking, and finally stopped at Leng Tianche.

Yu Xuanji, who was seen by Mu Liangxue at a glance, couldn't help but make a big alarm bell in her heart, when did he come? Could it be that he saw the scene of Leng Tianche hugging her? Therefore, it is so!

"I don't know what the Hou Ye is looking for General Ben?" Leng Tianche glanced at Yu Xuanji quietly, looked directly at Mu Liangxue's cold purple eyes, and said coldly and fearlessly.

But I can't help but worry about it.

"Huh. ”

He chuckled in a low voice, muttered for a long time, and sneered gloomily: "What can Ben Hou do to find a general?"

The more he said that, the more he couldn't help but feel creepy.

"Cousin Xuanji is unable to move, so she helps, and I ask Master Hou not to misunderstand. Leng Tianche's mind turned, lest the scene just now be watched by Mu Liangxue, afraid that he would embarrass Yu Xuanji, after all, Mu Liangxue was uncertain and murderous, so he had to soften a little "show weakness".

"Huh. Mu Liangxue suddenly sneered and walked away.

Looking at Mu Liangxue's back that was so cold that she could drop the ice slag, she couldn't help but light up in her eyes, and her heart was anxious. didn't care about the knee injury, and chased after Mu Liangxue without thinking.

even hurriedly ignored the cold weather............

"Miss, slow down. Ruyi helped her walk briskly, looking at her young lady's suddenly pale face, she couldn't help but feel very distressed, the young lady must be very painful at the moment! Thinking about it, her eyes were wet with hypocrisy.

"Xuan ......" he just called out a word, then he paused with a self-deprecating smile, withdrew the hand that seemed to want to keep and hid it in his sleeve, looking at her who was standing unsteadily just now, regardless of the appearance of self-deprecation, he couldn't help but feel cold.

The so-called Hundred Ants devour hearts are nothing more than that.

She didn't like Mu Liangxue, he knew, when could he start...... Mu Liangxue could make her lose her color so much?

"Mu Liangxue, you stop for me. She gritted her teeth and chased after him hard, even though the cold sweat turned into rain, and the pain was unbearable.

The sound she shouted did not make Mu Liangxue stop, but attracted everyone to cast curious eyes, even the people in the camp tent ran out, listening to the Mu Liangxue she shouted, everyone couldn't help but gasp, daring to call the name of the Marquis of Ziyi, it was really tired.

Seeing Mu Liangxue moving forward in disregard, she couldn't help frowning angrily. When he boarded, he stopped chasing, and as soon as his eyes rolled, he had an idea in his heart.

There was a hint of cunning at the corner of her mouth, and without hesitation, she bit her finger, and then wiped the blood that flowed out from the corner of her mouth.

"Ahh

And at this moment, Ruyi was also rare and clever, knowing that his young lady was going to play a bitter trick, so he hurriedly squatted on the ground and cried: "Miss, how are you? Don't scare the slave?"

Sure enough, as soon as this plan came out, it should work immediately.

Mu Liangxue's purple eyes narrowed, and he glanced back, he thought it was her little trick, but when he saw the red at the corner of her mouth, his heartbeat seemed to have stopped, and an inexplicable panic surged into his heart like a spring.

"Jade Xuanji. He picked her up with a disfigured face, and his heart was indescribably flustered.

Everyone who was holding the posture of watching the play couldn't help but rub their eyes in amazement, feeling that they must have seen it wrong, the cold-blooded and ruthless and murderous Ziyi Hou would panic because of a woman.

This used to be a joke, but now it is a "good story".
