Chapter 54: Gentle Him

It was already a time for a ritual to come down, and it was impossible to go down the mountain and return to the palace.

After eating in the imperial temple, the presiding abbot looked at Long Tingxiao and Zhang Mengjie in embarrassment.

Zhang Mengjie said: "The host doesn't have to bother, as long as the emperor is not wronged, the others can arrange it at will." ”

Long Tingxiao said: "The holy land of Buddhism, there is no distinction between high and low. Arrange me as you want. ”

The host abbot was relieved to arrange it, although Long Tingxiao and Zhang Mengjie both said that they didn't need to care about them, but the host still arranged a good guest room for one of them.

The tranquility on the mountain made Zhang Mengjie unable to sleep, and the sandalwood in the room smelled comfortable at first, but after a long time, the smell of sandalwood in the closed room became heavier and heavier, and Zhang Mengjie was a little uncomfortable and wanted to go out to breathe.

As soon as she opened the door, in the dim place in front of her, Zhang Mengjie seemed to see a figure, thinking of the last assassination incident, Zhang Mengjie reflexively closed the door.

"Is the queen afraid of me or doesn't want to see me?" It turned out to be Long Tingxiao.

Zhang Mengjie stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, why are you?" ”

Long Tingxiao said: "I haven't been to the Imperial Temple for a long time. Why hasn't the queen slept yet? ”

Zhang Mengjie said: "The concubine can't sleep, so she wants to come out to breathe." ”

Long Tingxiao said: "If you want to come out to breathe, how can you close the door when you see me?" Is it because you don't want to see me last night? ”

It's really a pot that can't be opened, Zhang Mengjie said: "Just now, the concubine thought it was other guests staying overnight, and she was afraid that people would misunderstand, so she closed the door." ”

Long Tingxiao said: "How can there be other people in the Imperial Temple. ”

Zhang Mengjie said: "The concubine didn't think so much just now. In the future, it is better for the emperor to drink less. ”

Long Tingxiao said: "How can I be afraid that I will treat you like yesterday?" ”

Zhang Mengjie said: "No, drinking hurts your body, and the concubine is thinking about the emperor's body." ”

Thinking of last night's incident, Zhang Mengjie's face turned a little red, but fortunately, the moonlight is not visible at all.

Long Tingxiao said: "I know, I won't drink so much wine in the future." ”

The two stayed quietly for a while, and Zhang Mengjie thought of one thing: "Your Majesty, will your stay in the imperial temple tonight delay tomorrow's morning court?" ”

Long Tingxiao said: "It's not my queen, I care about the world." Aren't you worried about me being exhausted? ”

Zhang Mengjie said: "The concubines just don't want the emperor to go to court tomorrow for no reason, and the ministers will have opinions." ”

Long Tingxiao said: "Even if there is no accident, the courtiers will take two days off, so there will be no early court tomorrow morning." ”

Zhang Mengjie said: "Then the concubine will be relieved." ”

Slowly, Zhang Mengjie felt a little cold, but it was not good for her to leave at this time.

Zhang Mengjie couldn't see such moonlight, but Long Tingxiao, who practiced martial arts, could see it clearly: "What's the matter, it's cold?" ”

Zhang Mengjie sighed, no matter who the other party is, Zhang Mengjie will not lie.

Long Tingxiao said: "Then you go back to the room early to rest!" ”

Zhang Mengjie said: "The concubine went back to the room first, and the emperor rested earlier." ”

Zhang Mengjie left the window open when she left the room, and when she returned to the room, she only smelled a faint sandalwood. Zhang Mengjie saw that the sandalwood was almost burned, so she closed the window, blew out the candles, and went to sleep.

Long Tingxiao glanced at the dark room and sighed.

Zhang Mengjie, who was not there the next day, cleaned up casually, opened the door and unexpectedly saw Long Tingxiao standing at the door.

Long Tingxiao said: "I'm worried about something in the court and want to leave early. ”

Zhang Mengjie said: "As long as the emperor is fine, the concubines can leave at any time." ”

"Let's go!" After walking a few steps, Long Tingxiao saw that Zhang Mengjie's pace was a little slow: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Zhang Mengjie said: "It may be that I haven't walked so far for a long time, and my calf hurts a little this morning." ”

Long Tingxiao's face was a little ugly.

Zhang Mengjie thought that Long Tingxiao should be worried that he would delay their trip: "The emperor can leave first if he has something, and he doesn't have to worry about his concubines." ”

Long Tingxiao said: "Let's talk about it if I have something." ”

When he walked halfway up the mountain, Zhang Mengjie said to Long Tingxiao: "Your Majesty, can the concubine go to the nunnery if she wants to?" ”

Long Tingxiao thought that her legs couldn't stand it: "Yes, I will go with you." ”

Long Tingxiao instructed his entourage to wait, and he accompanied Zhang Mengjie to the nunnery.

In the nunnery, Zhang Mengjie saw that the everlasting lamp she lit for Xiang'er was very bright, and she knew that the host of the nunnery was not perfunctory, so she added some incense money before leaving.

Long Tingxiao thought that Zhang Mengjie would rest in the nunnery for a while, but he didn't expect her to worship Xiang'er and leave: "Are you so good to your subordinates?" ”

Zhang Mengjie said: "The concubines never think that they are inferior, what they treat the concubines, the concubines treat them as anything." The concubines didn't think that the concubines were superior to them, if it weren't for the fact that the ancestors had exchanged their lives for the concubines for all this, the concubines might not be as good as them. If one of the emperors is unhappy and abolish the concubines, the concubines may still have to rely on them at that time! ”

With Su Yan in Luanfeng Palace, it is impossible for Long Tingxiao not to know the situation in Luanfeng Hall at all, so Zhang Mengjie has nothing to hide.

Long Tingxiao said: "In your eyes, I am such an unreasonable person? ”

Zhang Mengjie said: "No, the concubine is self-aware, if the concubine offends the emperor one day, the concubine can be regarded as leaving a way back for herself, right?" ”

Long Tingxiao said: "If you tell me now, you are not afraid that I will cut off your back road?" ”

Zhang Mengjie said: "The concubine believes that the emperor will not. ”

Long Tingxiao's trust in Zhang Mengjie is much better: "As long as you don't leave the palace, the queen's position will always be yours." ”

"Huh?" Without waiting for Zhang Mengjie to react, Long Tingxiao had already set off for the waiting person.

At the foot of the mountain, Zhang Mengjie's legs couldn't even get on the small bench of the carriage, and Zhang Mengjie wanted to climb directly into the carriage regardless of her image.

Long Tingxiao, who was already in the carriage, reluctantly got down and picked her up.

Zhang Mengjie in the carriage beat her legs and said apologetically: "It's the concubine who has affected everyone's trip." ”

"No, you've done a good job." Long Tingxiao said and grabbed her feet.

Zhang Mengjie was surprised and dodged: "Your Majesty, what are you going to do?" ”

Long Tingxiao grabbed one of her legs again and put it on his leg and said, "Don't move if your leg is fine, don't bear to say it if it hurts, you know?" ”

Seeing Zhang Mengjie nodding, Long Tingxiao started to poke up from her ankle little by little. Knowing his purpose, Zhang Mengjie was not hypocritical, and Long Tingting shouted when he pressed the painful place.

After Long Tingxiao tried it, he found the acupuncture point to help her massage.

Slowly, Zhang Mengjie felt that the pain subsided: "Your Majesty, it's okay." ”

Long Tingxiao said: "It doesn't hurt? ”

Zhang Mengjie nodded, and Long Tingxiao changed positions and massaged her other leg in the same way. At this time, Long Tingxiao was very gentle, which made Zhang Mengjie feel particularly comfortable, but reason told her not to fall in love with him.
