On March 15, with the beating of the morning drum on the palace gate, the door of the square has also been opened, and the sound of selling at the gate of the square fills every corner of the street, the steaming boiler, the aroma of the tempting breakfast, to this majestic and magnificent city to add a bit of the smell of fireworks in the world.

Yang and Qingrong sat in the carriage to Lingbao Temple, and Yang asked Qingrong, "What are you asking for when you go to the temple today?" ”

Qingrong said: "I want to ask for peace for my family." ”

Yang knew this, and she praised softly: "Brother and sister are really hearted, do you have any sisters and brothers in your family?" ”

Qingrong nodded, and when she talked about Siniang, her eyes were soft, "I have a sister, although she is smart and sensible, she is not worry-free on weekdays." ”

Seeing her like this, Yang also knew that their sisterhood should be good, and she cast an envious look, "You and your sister must have a good relationship, but it's really enviable." ”

"But I still envy my sister-in-law for having a brother, and when I was a child, I also looked forward to my aunt giving birth to a brother for me, which shows that my sister-in-law is still blessed."

The two talked about their respective families and chatted all the way. When mentioning her family, Yang's eyebrows and eyes are crooked, and it seems that the whole person has spirit and confidence, which is very different from Qingrong's usual impression of her.

When they arrived at Lingbao Temple, the two went to burn incense and worship the Buddha together.

Yang remembered that her mother had also asked for peace here in the past, and she said to Qingrong: "My aunt said that you can ask for peace charms in this temple, which is very effective, in the past, my grandfather went on a campaign, she would come to ask for this, and my grandfather came back safely every time." ”

Qingrong heard her say this, and she also believed it a little. She knelt in front of the Buddha, closed her eyes, and said silently in her heart: "Bodhisattva bless, may Siniang and Sister Yu be safe and secure in the palace." ”

Yang stepped forward to help her and said, "Come, you go and write down the eight characters of your family's birthday, and then put it in the blessing bag with this copper coin, and then enshrine it in front of the Buddha." ”

Qingrong did everything she said, and when these things were over, the two of them planned to go home.

Qingrong said: "Sister-in-law is very familiar with this? Did you come often? ”

Yang smiled and nodded, she was a little embarrassed, "I used to come when I was not married, but in the past few years, it has gradually decreased." ”

While the two were talking, Yang glanced forward casually and found that someone was looking at them, she whispered to Qingrong: "There is a monk dressed as a mage who seems to be looking at us here." ”

As soon as she said it, Qingrong reacted quickly, and what she said should be empty. She turned around and saw that it was him, and he was looking at her with a gentle smile on his face, and saluted him.

Qingrong returned the salute, "I haven't seen you for a long time, don't be harmed." ”

It had been months since she had returned to the temple. But in just a few months, it seems like a lifetime. I didn't expect to see her again, she was already married.

He looked at the woman's bun she combed, and felt a little irrepressible loss in his heart, and he didn't dare to think deeply. Empty silence's face was as usual, and he said calmly: "TOEFL, I haven't seen you for a long time, Mrs. Lu has tied the knot, poor monk... It's time to say hello to Mrs. Lu. ”

Yang said, "You and this mage are actually acquainted? ”

Qingrong smiled, "Yes." She said to the void, "Then I will thank the mage here." ”

She still looks the same as always, polite and detached, no sorrow or joy, which makes the empty silence a little relieved, at least it means that she should be living a good life now.

Yang watched the two of them talk, and she knew very well that this mage's eyes were not simple when she saw Qingrong, so she also guessed about the relationship between the two.

Because of being with the Yang family, Qingrong didn't say much to the empty silence, and the two only exchanged a few polite words, and she left with the Yang family.

After the person left, he felt irrepressibly lonely in his heart, and he didn't know when she would come again? Will he ever see her again?

On the way out of the temple, Yang also had a guess in her heart, and her gaze towards Qingrong was a little more complicated.

Yang suddenly said, "Brother and sister, are you in a hurry to go back?" ”

Qingrong shook his head.

"I remember that I haven't been here in a while, can you go with me for a walk elsewhere?"

Qingrong had nothing else to do, so he agreed.

The two walked side by side, and Yang asked, "Brother and sister, you seem to have a lot of relationship with the mage?" ”

Qingrong was shocked when she heard this, and she looked at Yang with a blank expression, "Sister-in-law, what does this mean?" ”

When Yang saw her like this, most of them knew that she must not know, but she was still ashamed to speak up about this kind of thing, she blushed and said: "I look at that mage, I look at you very differently, maybe he..."

Qingrong was also aware of it for the first time, but even so, there was no wave in her heart, but her face still changed, "Sister-in-law, the master is a monk, how can this kind of thing be talked nonsense?" ”

"I know, but I see that you don't know yet, and you're always worried."

Lose sleep over something? Qingrong was puzzled, she thought that the Yang family was aware of the strangeness, and would care more about her relationship with the mage, guessing whether she was innocent or not.

But I heard Yang Shi say again: "The master is a person in Buddhism, how can he have a relationship with a secular woman, I know that you act frankly, and you don't know about it, but I'm afraid that others will have a heart." If this mage is confused for a while, how can it hurt your reputation? What if others have the heart to slander and frame you? ”

Qingrong was also stunned, she looked at Yang's somewhat worried expression, and said that if she was not moved in her heart, it was fake. She didn't expect that Yang would choose to believe in herself. She smiled sincerely, "I know, I understand my sister-in-law's kindness, and you were kind enough to remind me." ”

Seeing that she understood, Yang also breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Although the mages are respected and respected outside, it is all because they abide by the precepts and have a clean reputation. How many lessons from the past, whether you have this kind of thing or not, it is a woman who suffers, and it is also a woman who is scolded by others, and it is a taboo for monks to move, I am afraid that he will act carelessly and harm you, it is best if you can understand what I mean. ”

At the end, she whispered again: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else." ”

Qingrong nodded and said softly: "I understand my sister-in-law's intentions, thank you sister-in-law for reminding me." ”

Yang was a little embarrassed to see her so sincere, "You don't blame me for talking too much." ”

Qingrong shook his head, "How come?" My sister-in-law treats me like this, how can I be so ignorant? My sister-in-law is a sincere person, I understand. Qingrong paused and said, "It's just that I don't understand, why does my sister-in-law believe in me like this?" ”

Yang stopped, she shook her head slowly, and said softly, "I don't know, but I always feel that I can trust you." Perhaps, this is the so-called sympathy? ”

Qingrong looked at the woman in front of her, who was as soft as a willow, quiet and beautiful, and was speechless for a while. She smiled, saluted her, and said, "Qingrong, thank you sister-in-law." ”

The two came back from the Buddhist temple, and the relationship seemed to be closer, and the Yang family now went to Qingrong every once in a while to talk to relieve his boredom, and Qingrong was more sincere than before.

Qingrong entrusted Mrs. Wei and mentioned that she wanted to enter the palace to meet the queen, and Mrs. Wei said that she had a heart, so she should take her into the palace to meet her.

It was easy to wait for the day when Mrs. Wei entered the palace, and Qingrong's heart was more nervous than before, perhaps because of the different identities now and Siniang's still in the palace. When she arrived at the Xuanzheng Palace, the female official Song greeted her at the door of the palace, she saluted Mrs. Wei, turned her head to Qingrong, and smiled kindly, "I've seen Mrs. Lu." ”

Mrs. Wei entered the hall first, and Qingrong consciously waited for the summons, but who knew that the female official Song said: "Your Highness asked Mrs. Lu to come in together." Qingrong responded, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and walked with them to the palace.

When the palace maid lifted the curtain, the queen, who had not seen her for many days, appeared. The queen's eyes are still bright, and under this warm fragrance, they are even brighter. The queen smiled and beckoned to Qingrong, "Don't come forward yet?" Let me see the bride too. ”

Qingrong stepped forward with a smile and saluted the queen, and then sat down on the stool beside her. The queen looked at her a few times, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen her for several months, and this married person really looks different." ”

Mrs. Wei quipped: "You are sharp-eyed, what can't you see?" ”

Now that it has gradually warmed up, people are not as bloated as they are in winter. Qingrong is wearing a moire lotus skirt today, and the jewelry on her head is not complicated, but she has added two more hairpins than usual. Qingrong smiled embarrassedly, "Your Highness said that it was funny, Qingrong has a loose temperament, and he can dress up simply." ”

Mrs. Wei said: "Although you don't like to dress up, you still have a good eye." ”

The queen smiled: "Dressing up, to decorate, to cover the body, but also to show yourself, not just based on your preferences, in the future, you will inevitably socialize with the official wife, or you need to pay more attention." ”

Qingrong thought for a moment and nodded in response: "What His Highness said is that Qingrong has written it down, but he will not dare to treat it casually in the future." ”

Mrs. Wei didn't care, she teased: "As long as you have a lot of rules, you can't only take care of your own preferences, and you can't dress clothes, then you can't be comfortable in everything." ”

The queen shook her head and smiled: "Think everyone is like Sister A? ”

Qingrong also smiled, thought about it, and said: "If you want to take the crown, you must take advantage of it, think this is the truth." ”

The queen raised her eyebrows slightly and nodded approvingly, she looked at Qingrong and sighed with a sad face, "You are also going to go to Concubine Xian when you enter the palace." ”

Qingrong said cautiously: "Yes." ”

The queen nodded, "It's time to go and see, I guess you also know about her, so you can persuade her." The matter... No one expected it, and you're worried outside the palace, right? ”

Qingrong sighed lightly, and Mrs. Wei said when she saw this: "Alas, this is also human nature, not to mention the virtuous concubine, if Yingniang has something in the palace, my mother and I will have to worry about it every day at home." ”

The queen nodded, a pair of phoenix eyes looked at Qingrong sharply, and chuckled: "Isn't it?" Inside and outside the palace, self-contained, how many people can be alone? ”

Qingrong's heart sank, his face did not change, and he said thoughtfully: "What His Highness said is very true. ”

The queen smiled, "Yes, if the people in this palace are safe, the family members outside the palace will also be at ease." Vice versa. She said to Qingrong again: "Since this is the case, then I will keep you soon, you better go early, and come here later to find Mrs. Wei and leave the palace together." ”

Qingrong responded and bowed down.

Qingrong followed the palace maid of the Zhengyi Hall to the direction of the Xianning Palace, and walked on the road, but his mood became heavy. The palace maid of Xianning Hall didn't know about her entering the palace today, and the palace maid guarding the door still remembered Qingrong's appearance, and when she saw her coming, she hurriedly ran in to spread the word.

It didn't take long for a familiar voice to come from inside, "Sister! "When I saw Qingrong's figure under the gate of Siniang's palace, I couldn't wait for a moment. She held her skirt in both hands and ran towards Qingrong, only to hear Ah Xi reminding her behind: "Siniang, be careful!" ”

Qingrong saw Siniang, swept away the solemnity on her face just now, and greeted her with a smile. She opened her arms, and Siniang threw herself into her arms, and she smiled helplessly, "Be careful." ”

Siniang sniffed and said, "Sister is here." ”

"Well, I'm here to see you, you've lost weight, and it's been hard lately." She took Siniang's hand and said, "I have also heard about Concubine Xian, tell me carefully, what is going on?" ”

Concubine Xian had a miscarriage, injured her body, and washed her face with tears all day long, Siniang always persuaded her, and now she is slowly getting better. It's just that this toss has made both of them lose a lot of weight.

Speaking of this, Siniang shook her head, she said: "The imperial doctor said that it was a no-sign fetal stop, Concubine Xian This is the first child, the first child is not easy to conceive, and the month is not big, I should have paid extra attention, plus I had a fetal gas a few days ago, and Concubine Xian's foundation is also weak, just... Didn't keep it. ”

The two talked as they walked.
