Chapter 138: Compromise
"Donor, you're mistaken." After Master Jing said this lightly, he took a gray rope from the tray and walked to Lin Yanzhi.
Then, a nun held up Lin Yanzhi's right hand and pulled up her sleeve higher.
Master Jing tied the rope to Lin Yanzhi's wrist, cut off the excess, and then burned the rope into a ball and pinched it tightly.
"What is this rope?" Lin Yanzhi glanced at the rope on her wrist that could not be taken off.
Mrs. Jing Ming didn't answer, but only asked the two nuns to take Lin Yanzhi to the wing room to have a good rest, and they would have to live and rest with them from tomorrow onwards.
On the way, Lin Yanzhi asked tentatively, "Two masters, do you know what this rope is for? Buddha Gate Mark? Or is it a job number? But I don't see any ...... on your wrists."
One of them, a nun named Jingyi, who looked much younger, blinked and said, "We don't know about this, but we only know that Master has been offering for a long time, or for the donor to keep you safe."
Lin Yanzhi bowed her head, but said in her heart, why only give her one? And it's inevitable that she is also a little tougher, and she can't take it off if she puts it on without saying anything, besides, this Jing Ming Master is obviously listening to the queen...... Could this really be for peace?
"Here we are." Another named Jingwu, after pushing open the door, went to the shelf and brought a wooden basin to her, "This room has not been inhabited for a long time, you can clean it up yourself, clean it up and rest, and then when the time comes, you will go to the hall and have dinner with everyone."
After speaking, she nodded and turned to leave, not wanting to communicate too much with Lin Yanzhi at all.
Jingyi took another wooden basin: "Don't blame the donor, senior sister, she is this kind of character, you will know after getting along, she is the same to everyone, including herself, let's go, I will take you to the place where you fetch water, and you will wash and bathe there in the future."
After the two finished fetching water, Jingyi helped Lin Yanzhi clean up the room together, during which she also told her about the rules and routines in the temple.
"Say so much at once, donor, I'm afraid you can't remember, I'll write it down to you in a while."
After Lin Yanzhi thanked her, she said, "Master Jingyi, I don't think you are as indifferent as other masters, but you have not been here for a long time?"
Jingyi smiled: "I've been here for more than a year, and I used to be too out-of-tact at home, which caused a lot of trouble, so my family had no choice but to ask someone to send me here, and I may be vulgar or stay here for a long time in the future, in fact, it's good here, Master and senior sisters treat me very well, it's just boring, but I'm almost used to it."
"I see, I will ask Master to take care of me in the future."
"I don't know why you were brought here by the queen?" Jingyi asked curiously.
Lin Yanzhi's eyes rolled around, and she leaned over with a mysterious look and said, "It's a long story, I'm afraid that you will also be punished if you say Master, but if Master is really curious, I will tell you about it."
When Jingyi heard this, she immediately looked at her nose, and stood up straight: "In this way, I won't ask any more questions, you can rest for a while, and when the time comes, I will take you to the hall to eat."
Lin Yanzhi waved to her with a smile, and after seeing her leave, she turned around and lay on the bed in a large shape.
It's just that this bed is much harder than what she has in the nest, and it is not very comfortable no matter how she reverses, so she had to sigh and get up and walk in circles in the room boringly.
I can't help but think of the first time she came to this world, when the original owner's house was so bland, but she decorated it later.
If you are the original owner, you will be able to live freely here.
But she couldn't stand it, and she didn't know how long she would have to stay here before letting her go back.
Also, if Sister Yanran promised His Royal Highness to help them, I don't know how Prime Minister Su and the Xiao family would treat her.
In the future, I must treat Sister Yanran better, speaking of which, Yanzhou's affairs can be regarded as meritorious, I wonder if I can ask Sister Yanran for a favor with this, so that she can live her life freely?
Alas...... It's useless to think more, and you'll have to wait until you go back.
Xu was tired, maybe she was thinking too much, she slowly became sleepy, and unconsciously shook back to the bed, not much of her head
I fell asleep for a long time.
I don't know if she dreamed of something, and the word "Your Highness" spit out from time to time.
And His Royal Highness in her mouth, after riding back to the palace, she went to the queen's palace step by step.
"Let him in." The queen mother was in a good mood and blew the hot soup in the teacup, tasted it, and nodded with satisfaction.
Seeing Qin Tianze walk in, she beckoned to him with a smile: "Ze'er is here, come and taste your uncle's new tea, this palace thinks it's not bad, if you like it, this palace will ask someone to take it to your palace."
After Qin Tianze saluted, he looked at the queen and said, "But if the son likes it, the queen mother will give it to the son?"
After he finished speaking, the corners of the queen's mouth quickly pressed, and she said lightly, "It depends on what it is." She put away her displeasure, and said with a light smile, "Don't talk about that, it seems that you are here, you are not fully ill, drink hot tea and warm up."
Qin Tianze squinted at the cup of tea, did not pick it up and drank it, still stood and said: "The queen mother thinks it is good, but it may not be suitable for the son, this tea is heartfelt, the son is afraid that after drinking it, it will only aggravate the condition, and ask the queen mother to forgive the sin."
"You!" The queen squeezed the teacup tightly, inhaled slowly, and suppressed the anger in her heart, "Why does the prince bother to borrow things, you can say anything you want to say directly."
Qin Tianze bowed down and said, "The retainer is here to ask for someone, and he also asks the queen mother to hand over Yanzhi."
The queen stared at him, and slowly finished drinking the tea in her hand before saying, "Why is the prince so worried, come in a hurry, Lin Yanzhi is the woman you like, how can this palace treat her harshly, but I just asked her to go to another small courtyard to live temporarily and learn the rules, so as not to make mistakes in this palace in the future and not remember her identity."
"Small courtyard? Which courtyard is it? Yanzhi doesn't have to learn this, please ask the queen mother to bring people back."
"You mean, you don't want her to be your anymore?"
When Qin Tianze heard this, he was stunned, and the queen smiled: "It is impossible to be the only one in this life, but it is not impossible for her to continue to stay in this palace, Ze'er, this palace has taken a step back, what about you?"
Qin Tianze's eyes said, "What if Erchen doesn't agree?"
The queen raised her eyebrows and said, "As long as you say a word, there will be no Lin Yanzhi in this world immediately." She picked up the cup of tea that Qin Tianze had never drunk again, and raised it to him, "The prince is willing to drink it now?"
Qin Tianze's eyes were slightly red, and he pursed his lips and looked at the cup of tea that no longer swelled hot, suddenly, some blood overflowed from his throat, he slowly spread out his hands, and the palms that had already held his nail prints stretched out towards the queen and took the teacup.
He looked at the shaking tea soup in the cup, and after a long time of being in a trance, he closed his eyes and raised his glass to drink.
The entrance of the tea soup, accompanied by the blood, was swallowed into his throat together, and this uncomfortable taste filled his whole body and mind.
He raised his eyes and asked, "Now, can the queen mother release Yanzhi?"
The queen looked at him like this, and saw the faint blood beads on the corners of his mouth, distressed and uncomfortable, but she still hardened her heart and forced a smile and said, "Not for the time being."
"Queen Mother!" Qin Tianze couldn't help but shout, "The sons have already compromised, why don't you let them go?!"
For the first time, my eldest son talked to her so loudly for a woman!
The queen originally planned to let him go through the marriage process for the Su family and let Lin Yanzhi go, but now, don't think about it!
"Bengong said that she wants her to learn the rules, and she will know how to serve you and Yanran in the future, before you get married, Bengong will return her to you completely!"
Qin Tianze gritted his teeth and said, "What rules does the Queen Mother want her to learn?"
Seeing that her son was so unrelenting, the queen said angrily: "It's just some of the rules of the concubine, don't worry, if she loses a piece of skin, it will make the palace go to the palace for ten years, so, the prince can rest assured?"
Qin Tianze hurriedly knelt down and said, "The son doesn't dare, the queen mother forgives the sin."
The queen looked at Qin Tianze on the ground, angry and helpless, rubbed her temples and waved her hand to him: "The palace is tired, the prince will go back to recuperate, and he will hold a big wedding with Yanran after the New Year."
This sentence judged everything, and Qin Tianze, who had lost his soul, staggered slowly
Walked back to the East Palace and went to Qingjun Garden.
As soon as the peach apricots saw him, they immediately stepped forward to greet them.
"Your Highness, where is your Excellency? Is she back?"
Qin Tianze lowered his eyes and didn't answer, but said lightly: "You two take it away, before Yan Zhi comes back, they both follow Cheng Dong to do things."
After saying that, he walked to the octagonal pavilion and sat there alone, without saying a word.
Seeing this, the two of them looked at each other, Tao Xing wrinkled her face, and looked like she wanted to cry: "Even His Highness can't save the adult, what can I do?"
Ginkgo said angrily, "Is it necessary? That Miss Su, why doesn't she know the beauty of adults, so she insists on stepping in?!"
Tao Xing hurriedly covered her mouth: "Don't talk nonsense, in fact, Miss Yanran treats us adults very well, and the adults have mentioned her to me, but she is also a poor person."
"How is she pitiful? is the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion again, and she has the support of her aunt who is the queen, and she can even rob others of this marriage, so she is still pitiful?" Ginkgo pouted.
"What seems good in your eyes is not necessarily for others, in short, this matter can't be explained for a while, if you see her in the future, don't be so rude."
Seeing Tao Xing's serious look, Ginkgo muttered, "I know, anyway, she will be the crown princess in the future, and I dare to be rude to her......
Suddenly, a man came behind them, "What are you two talking about behind people's backs?"
The two of them were frightened, and when they were about to say, "The slave doesn't have it, the slave doesn't dare," they raised their eyes and saw who it was, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master Yao, don't stand silently behind people like a ghost, this will scare people to death." Ginkgo pouted higher and said dissatisfied.
Qin Tian'an was stunned when he heard her name, and soon smiled and said, "If you haven't done anything wrong, what ghosts and gods are you afraid of."
"It's not necessarily because you've done something bad to be afraid of, but if you're timid, you'll be easily scared!"
Listening to Ginkgo's reasonable remarks, Qin Tianan couldn't help but smile and shook his head: "Okay, you are reasonable. Say, what are you two talking about here? Big...... Why is Your Highness sitting there alone blowing the wind?"
"This should be what we asked you, didn't you just go to the queen's palace with your highness? We wanted to ask you, do you know where she took the adults? When will you let her back?"
"What?! What do you say?!" Qin Tianan's brows furrowed, he never thought that the queen mother would take Yan Zhi away directly.
Yin Xing suddenly looked at him suspiciously, "Master Yao doesn't know? Didn't you go and tell Your Highness?"
When Tao Xing heard this, she also looked him up and down suspiciously.
Qin Tian'an was anxious, ignored them, and walked straight to the Octagonal Pavilion.
