Chapter 46: Goodbye (2)
Time flies like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye, it comes the day when the girl is about to leave the palace and go to Jingyin Temple.
The carriage leaving the palace was already quietly parked at the gate of the palace, waiting for the girl and the old man to appear.
Escorted by the Imperial Guards, the girl and the old man walked out of the palace gates and came to the carriage.
The two men who followed the girl and the old man, one was the girl's biological father, and the other was the girl's future husband.
The maiden walked to the carriage and turned to look at the palace, where she had lived for ten years, and at her father and husband.
After the girl's heart was entangled, she knelt down to her father and kowtowed to Mo Kongruo a few times to thank him for his nurturing grace.
Seeing this, the three maids behind the girl followed the girl's figure and knelt down and kowtowed to the man a few times.
After the girl kowtowed to the man, she resolutely boarded the carriage to Joyin Temple with the support of the maids.
After confirming that the maiden had entered the carriage, the maids boarded the carriage in order.
Seeing that the girls had already boarded the carriage, the abbot of Wuma saluted Mo Kongruo and Xiao Luobai on the side, sat at the front of the carriage, and drove the carriage out of the gate of the palace.
Mo Kongruo looked at the back of the carriage as it drove away, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little more bitter and unspeakable.
Mo Kongruo secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that Mo Shengge could successfully complete the task and return to the palace smoothly.
Xiao Luobai looked at the back of the carriage that was getting blurred from his vision, his eyes narrowed into a line, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After they could not see the shadow of the carriage at all, they made an appointment to enter the Heart Cultivation Hall and discuss the rest of the state affairs.
Looking at the scenery on both sides of the carriage, passing between her eyes, Mo Shengge's heart was a little mixed, and she couldn't tell what it was.
Yun Zhu looked at Mo Shengge's expression, as if he understood something, sat next to Mo Shengge, put his hand on Mo Shengge's hand, silently comforted Mo Shengge, and tried to make Mo Shengge relax.
After Mo Shengge felt Yunzhu's silent relief, her anxious heart finally let go.
At the same time, in the Zen courtyard of Jingyin Temple, an old man dressed in a capable appearance is cleaning out a fresh and elegant meditation room to welcome the arrival of the girl.
After the old man finished cleaning the meditation room, he took the broom in his hand, walked straight to the gate of the temple, put the broom back in its place, and walked to the round table to drink tea leisurely.
In the carriage of the carriage, the four frolicking masters and servants, because they have not left the palace for many years, when they saw the surrounding environment transformed into a silent forest, they instantly fell silent, and looked at the surrounding environment with curious eyes.
When Nian Tao, Su Nuan and Yun Zhu were about to ask Mo Shengge, the carriage suddenly stopped steadily, at the door of an antique temple.
The old man who was drinking tea alone in the temple heard the sound of horses' hooves at the entrance of the temple, hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand, walked to the door of the temple, opened the gate of the temple, and checked the situation outside the door.
When the old man saw the abbot of the Wuma on the carriage, he instantly understood what was going on.
The old man did not go out of the gate of the temple, and stood quietly in place, checking what the abbot wanted to do.
The abbot understood why the old man did not walk out of the gate of the temple, and tacitly did not ask the old man, but stepped out of the carriage and informed Mo Shengge of the situation in the carriage.
"Princess Hejing, Lao Wei has sent you to Jingyin Temple safely in accordance with the promise made with the emperor. In the future, Princess Hejing will practice here for five years, and Princess Hejing is also requested to get off the carriage and enter the meditation room to rest for a while, and then start practicing immediately. ”
The abbot of Wuma spoke humbly and asked Mo Shengge and the others to get out of the carriage and enter the Jingyin Temple to practice.
After listening to the words of the abbot of Wuma, the old man understood which big man the character in the carriage was.
What the old man didn't expect was that this abbot really had a way to really bring his granddaughter Mo Shengge, who he hadn't seen for a long time, out of Mo Kongruo's side.
Where could Mo Shengge be an unreasonable person, knowing that he was here to practice, how could he possibly put the princess on the shelf for the abbot of Wuma?
Mo Shengge motioned to the three little girls sitting beside her with her eyes, and asked them to get out of the carriage first, stretching out their hands to help her under the carriage, and then she could get out of the carriage and enter the meditation room of Jingyin Temple.
Nian Tao, Su Nuan and Yun Zhu, as Mo Shengge's personal maids, where could they not understand the implied meaning in the eyes that Mo Shengge handed to them?
After the three little girls glanced at each other, Nian Tao took the lead out of the carriage, walked to the side of the carriage, waited for Mo Shengge to get out of the carriage, and helped her out of the carriage.
Su Nuan and Yunzhu, who were still sitting in the carriage, saw Nian Tao get out of the carriage and walked out of the carriage in turn according to the order they had discussed, waiting on both sides of the carriage.
Mo Shengge saw that the three little girls had already walked out of the carriage, and after walking straight out of the carriage, she slowly walked out of the carriage and got out of the carriage with the support of the three little girls.
After Mo Shengge stepped out of the carriage and stood firm in front of the carriage, the old man saw Mo Shengge's face clearly.
After the old man saw Mo Shengge's face clearly, in that moment of trance, he seemed to see Queen Fucha.
The old man hadn't met Mo Shengge for many years, but occasionally he had heard rumors that Mo Shengge's current appearance was more and more similar to that of Empress Fucha.
It is better to hear than to see, and after seeing Mo Shengge's current face, the old man was finally willing to believe that there was not a single lie in everything that was said in the rumors.
After Mo Shengge stood still, he looked at the old man standing at the gate of the temple, and was speechless in shock.
Even though Mo Shengge and the old man Fucha have not met for many years since the death of Empress Fucha, she can still recognize at a glance that the gray-haired old man in front of her is the old man Fucha, her grandfather who has not seen for a long time.
Mo Shengge walked towards the white-haired old man step by step, and stopped not far in front of the old man and the gate of the temple.
Nian Tao, Su Nuan and Yun Zhu followed behind Mo Shengge, and when Mo Shengge stopped, they stopped not far from the gate of the temple with Mo Shengge.
Seeing that Mo Shengge was not far away, the old man walked out of the gate of the temple and stopped in front of the steps not far from Mo Shengge, wanting to reach out and touch Mo Shengge's face.
When Mo Shengge saw the white-haired old man and walked up to him, Mo Shengge hurriedly leaned over to the old man, asked the old man for peace, and asked about the old man's health.
"Ge'er is not filial, Ge'er greets his grandfather. Ge'er and her grandfather haven't met for many years, and they never thought that their grandfather's face is still the same, is his grandfather's body still healthy? ”
Mo Shengge leaned over and greeted the old man Fucha's well-being, her eyes did not look directly at the old man's long-aged face, but at that time, she could see that the old man's face had not changed much.
Nian Tao, Su Nuan and Yun Zhu saw Mo Shengge leaning over to greet the old man Fucha, so they followed Mo Shengge's footsteps and leaned over to greet the old man Fucha.
It stands to reason that if it weren't for the old man Fucha at the beginning, the three of them don't know if they would have a chance to come out of that kind of place alive and serve by Mo Shengge's side.
Whether it was the life-saving grace of the old man Fucha at the beginning, or the fact that the old man Fucha was their old master, they should be the same as Mo Shengge, greet the old man Fucha and greet the old man Fucha.
While listening to Mo Shengge's greetings, the old man Fucha walked not far from where Mo Shengge was, and helped Mo Shengge, who was leaning over him, to his feet, so that Mo Shengge could be at eye level with him.
The old man Fucha carefully examined Mo Shengge's face while stroking Mo Shengge's little face.
"It's really hard for the abbot to take you out of the palace and practice in this Jingyin Temple for five years. Your uncle and aunt are still telling me, the old man, that you and your queen mother are more and more alike, and I still don't believe the old man. When we meet today, your uncle and aunt are really right, and they do look more and more like your mother. ”
The old man Fucha looked at Mo Shengge with some pity, and told Mo Shengge about everything that happened in the palace that Fucha Qingyu and Luo Yuxue relayed to him.
The intention of the old man Fucha was undoubtedly to show Mo Shengge that although he lived in seclusion in the Jingyin Temple and did not care about all the affairs of the world, he was extremely clear about everything that happened outside the Jingyin Temple.
Although my grandfather lived in seclusion in this Jingyin Temple, my grandfather, as a former prime minister in the imperial court, was willing to continue to care about national affairs. My grandfather said that Ge'er looked more and more like her mother, and my grandfather praised Ge'er for being ordinary. Ge'er knows her ordinary, and she doesn't dare to compare with the deceased queen mother, and her grandfather doesn't have to joke with Ge'er. ”
In Mo Shengge's heart, Empress Fucha's gentleness and kindness and careful teaching to her, even after Empress Fucha's death for many years, are incomparable to anyone.
Even if anyone compliments her that she looks more and more like Queen Fucha, she still feels that Queen Fucha is the only irreplaceable person.
