Chapter 7: The First Encounter
The sacrifice is nothing more than that, praying for good weather this year.
A group of nobles knelt in front of the Buddha statue, bowed their heads and prayed silently, it was really boring and tight.
As soon as the previous process ended, when it came to the last part of the free prayer, Xie Youwei simply left the place neatly and walked out with Xie Youwei.
The two of them walked together to the open space behind the temple.
Compared with the large number of flowers and plants outside, it looks much more quiet and elegant.
Most of the trees are linden trees, cotton trees, etc., which are common in some temples.
Xie Youwei walked under the largest Bodhi tree in the courtyard, leaned lightly against the trunk, and let out a long sigh.
Xie Nianzhu didn't have any estimates, and said what Xie Youwei didn't dare to say with a big grin.
"It's really suffocating me in there, it's so boring every year......"
"Rosary." Xie Youwei's voice was not loud, but it was extremely serious, "Be cautious in your words and deeds." ”
The rosary is playful and carefree from childhood to adulthood.
Originally, the family also spoiled her, after all, according to the status of Xie Fu, she would not worry about being bullied if she found a better son to marry.
It's just that after knowing everything in the original book, Xie Youwei felt that it was better to let Xie Nianzhu restrain her cheerful temperament.
Xie Nianzhu looked at Xie Youwei's face and pouted, but she didn't refute it, and she answered angrily.
Xie Youwei was just about to say a few words of comfort, but she heard a chuckle not far behind her.
Turning around, it was a monk in a robe.
There was also a tall man with a mask on his face and a tall figure standing next to him.
Xie Youwei's face changed slightly, and his pupils shrank.
All over the capital, who else has the identity to participate in this sacrifice and still wears a mask.
In the original book, the prince who has been competing with Chu Yan for the throne is the biological son of the Queen Mother, and the former prince.
Chuchin.
Xie Youwei reacted quickly and adjusted his face and leaned over at the visitor.
"My sister's young temperament jumps out, which makes the two of them laugh."
Xie Nianzhu also knew that she had made a mistake, and stood behind Xie Youwei and leaned over to apologize.
The monk had a warm smile on his face, and his body was full of the aura of Buddhist compassion, and he waved his hand at the two of them indifferently.
"It's okay, it's really a little boring, I'll definitely change the format next year and let everyone have fun."
Xie Youwei was slightly surprised in her heart.
This monk said so, and it was definitely Master Qingyin, the presiding officer of this Puyin Temple.
It's just that I didn't expect that Master Qingyin looked so young.
Qingyin seemed to see Xie Youwei's doubts, smiled lightly at Xie Youwei, and nodded slightly.
Xie Youwei also nodded politely, and his gaze once again drifted to Chu Qin on the edge of Qingyin.
Whether it was Chu Yan or Chu Qin, she didn't want to socialize with anyone.
The Xie family has never taken the initiative to get involved in disputes over imperial power.
"I'm bothering the two of you, so I'll take my sister down first."
After the backs of the two people completely disappeared around the corner, Qing Yin turned his head and looked at "Chu Qin".
"You're talking about that girl?"
Xiao Jinyan retracted his gaze and nodded lightly.
"She doesn't seem to like you very much."
Hearing Qingyin's words, Xiao Jinyan couldn't help frowning and looked in the direction of Qingyin.
Qingyin's face still has such a warm expression, but those translucent and good-looking eyes are really dyed with a bit of interest in watching a play.
Xiao Jinyan was silent for a while, but he couldn't help but open his mouth.
"Why?"
"How do I know why?" Qingyin glanced at Xiao Jinyan strangely, "Shouldn't you think about whether you did something wrong?" ”
"But...... That girl...... "Qingyin's face showed a little interest, "That girl is probably not simple." ”
"How?"
A pair of eyes under Xiao Jinyan's mask looked straight at Qingyin.
Qingyin is the only one who knows his true identity, and the only one he can trust.
And this guy has grown up in the temple since he was a child, and he became an abbot at a young age, which is indeed extraordinary.
"I can't see her life." Qingyin said it bluntly, touched his chin again, and added, "I can't even see the little girl next to her." ”
The little girl on the side Qingyin has an impression, the second lady Xie Nianzhu in General Xie's mansion, will follow this sacrifice every year, and every year she will run to this courtyard to complain about the boredom of the sacrifice.
Originally, Xie Nianzhu had a turbid queen aura on her body, and she didn't need to think much about Qingyin to know that the girl would become a queen above 10,000 people under one person in the future, and her fate would be unlucky.
But now the queen's aura on the girl's body is completely gone, and it has turned into a white mist that is exactly the same as the girl who can make Xiao Jinyan see the color.
This is the second time he has seen the unknown.
The first time was on Xiao Jinyan, who had a dual identity.
Qingyin hooked her lips and smiled, patted Xiao Jinyan's shoulder, and said lightly.
"Although it is unknown, I still have to remind you that you have to figure out what you want first."
Xiao Jinyan was silent for a while, a little unsure of what Qing Yin meant.
But Qingyin didn't seem to be ready to say anything, waved his hand and left neatly.
The courtyard was empty, leaving Xiao Jinyan alone.
Xiao Jinyan stood in place for a while, walked to the tree that Xie Youwei had just leaned on, and reached out and gently stroked the trunk.
Xiao Jinyan looked up, and he was still gray.
But when Xie Youwei just leaned on it, a whole tree seemed to suddenly come to life, revealing color in front of his eyes.
What he wanted was nothing more than to see more of the different colors.
Xiao Jinyan's lips under the mask were slightly hooked, then he withdrew his hand, turned around and walked away.
As soon as I walked to the gathering place of the crowd, I saw Xie Youwei with bright colors at a glance.
Xie Youwei had a shallow smile on her face, hanging her head and not knowing what she was discussing with Xie Nianzhu, and from time to time she raised her hand to brush the hair that fell from her sideburns.
Xiao Jinyan looked at Xie Youwei's direction, and the corners of her lips unconsciously hooked.
When disguising Chu Qin, he always needs to imitate Chu Qin's warmth, but it is only a disguise.
At this time, Xiao Jinyan's gaze was more gentle and soft than in the past few years.
I don't know if I have been staring at it all the time, Xie Youwei suddenly raised her head and looked sideways.
The eyes of the two men collided with each other, and they froze for a moment.
But soon, Xie Youwei shook his eyes and looked away, as if the staring at each other just now was just Xiao Jinyan's illusion.
Xiao Jinyan frowned.
Qingyin seems to be really good, Xie Youwei doesn't seem to like him very much.
Xiao Jinyan began to think in his heart about whether he had offended Xie Youwei or the Xie family in the past few years as Chu Qin.
The answer, of course, is no.
Could it be that Chu Qin himself was offended?
Xiao Jinyan thought seriously, and didn't notice that Chu Yan's gaze not far away also fell on Xie Youwei's body.
In terms of sacrifice, as an emperor, he can't leave at all.
All kinds of cumbersome things are pressed, and there is no way to get close to Xie Youwei.
That's why he wanted to combine the sacrifice and the hunting convention.
Chu Yan looked in the direction and could only see Xie Nianzhu's back, but he could just see Xie Youwei's face.
Naturally, I saw the interaction between Xie Youwei and "Chu Qin".
Chu Yan's eyes suddenly became gloomy.
He would not give anything to Chu Qin, whether it was the throne or the woman he loved.
