From Huiyinshang Yinchi to Jingjingzhaojian Nunnery, Qin Shou'an always passed by the Queen Mother and never really met her.
But considering the relationship between Riyue Mountain and the Queen Mother, Qin Shou'an didn't think that the Queen Mother was unaware of his every appearance.
The Mountain Master and the Empress Dowager were true life-and-death friends, so the Queen Mother was plotted against by the late Emperor on their wedding night, and they were not hidden from the Mountain Master, Chong Huamei and the four master wives.
So, no matter how shameful the matter between the Mountain Master and Qin Shou'an was, and no matter how hard it was for the Mountain Master to talk about it, he probably would not hide it from the Queen Mother.
This is not just a matter of the mountain owner's personal reputation. As the Empress Dowager's most trusted assistant, she has such a relationship with a prince who is an important member of the royal family. It is not appropriate to hide it from the Empress Dowager.
What's more, no matter how good the relationship between women is, there is always a matter of face... The mountain master gave birth to a child for him, but Qin Shou'an didn't even mention it in front of the Queen Mother. The mountain master couldn't live with it in terms of face.
The Queen Mother knows one thing, but whether he mentions it or not is another matter entirely. Tacit knowledge is not used at times like this.
But the Queen Mother is not that easy to see.
She didn't summon him these few times they passed each other, which meant that she wasn't really interested in meeting him, or maybe she felt the time hadn't come yet? It's possible.
Qin Shou'an has always had the impression that this aunt is difficult to approach... Especially in recent years, it has become known to everyone that the Queen Mother can't stand the smell of men. Now she doesn't even have a father-in-law in her palace.
She is very repulsive to people like her father-in-law who are full of yin and weak yang. So when someone like Qin Shouan, who exudes a strong masculine aura, appears in front of her, she must not twist, struggle, squirm, or crawl like the monsters under the mirror. And then reveal his true form?
With such an aunt on the table... Qin Shou'an shook his head secretly.
Recently, everyone in Riyue Mountain has been showing Qin Shou'an another side of the Queen Mother, which is completely different from Qin Shou'an's impression. Instead, the impression she left on Qin Shou'an became more and more thoughtful and happy. Anger is unpredictable.
One thing is for sure, since he dreamed about Rong Yue Rabbit, his impression of her is indeed not as bad as it was at the beginning.
"By the way, the Queen Mother won't be attending the ceremony, right?" Qin Shouan asked with concern.
Since ancient times, worshiping the gods and temples have been reserved exclusively for men and are the cornerstone of etiquette in a patriarchal society.
In Qin Shou'an's impression, apart from Wu Zetian who proclaimed himself emperor, only Liu E had worshiped at the Imperial Ancestral Temple. Her uniform had also lost two chapters from the twelve chapters. It was no longer worthy of the sword. She was finally satisfied secretly. She realized her dream of becoming the emperor.
In fact, such a compromise is probably unsatisfactory for Liu E. After all, although worshiping the Ancestral Temple is a symbol of the emperor, the dragon robe is even more... The twelve chapters are divided into two chapters and two lines. This is better than Qin Shou'an's nine The prince's uniform with a nine-color crown is taller than a Zhangwen.
The Queen Mother is not Wu Zetian, and she does not wear the emperor's uniform like Liu E. I remember that when His Majesty was a child, when she worshiped the Ancestral Temple, she just carried His Majesty to the Ancestral Temple, and His Majesty climbed into the Ancestral Temple to worship his ancestors. Zong, but the Queen Mother never had any intention of entering the Ancestral Temple.
It is precisely because of this that when the Queen Mother later listened to politics behind the curtain, she did not encounter much resistance... If she had entered the Ancestral Temple back then, and then she had to listen to politics behind the curtain, the resistance she would have encountered would have been completely different.
"No, the Queen Mother has never participated in spring festivals or major sacrifices. Sacrifice to heaven because of auspiciousness is more grand than the Spring Festival, but as usual, the Queen Mother will not show up." Master Yiyun waved her hand, she didn't care about this matter It's still very clear.
Jingjing Zhaojian Temple is a royal nunnery. Like Zhaopo Shanhe Temple, it is a place of prayer in the palace. Whenever His Majesty attends spring festivals and grand festivals, the Queen Mother will come to the nunnery to pray for blessings. In the impression of Master Yiyun , she appeared in Jingjingzhaojian Nunnery on these important days.
As for Zhaopo Shanhe Temple...it was full of monks, and the Queen Mother would not go if she could. However, Her Majesty and the Queen were willing to go. They thought it would be nice to see a lot of bald monks once in a while.
"Well... the Queen Mother seems to be a very disciplined person, so I should follow the rules and ask for an audience." Qin Shou'an nodded and could only follow the normal procedures to ask for an audience.
The risk of being turned away is high.
He originally thought that even if the Queen Mother did not attend the ceremony, she would still show up. Then he might create some opportunities for chance encounters, keep a certain distance from her, and say a few words without any problem.
If she could talk and mention the mountain master, she would give Qin Shou'an a chance to talk alone, and Qin Shou'an could propose marriage to the mountain master in private.
Regardless of whether she agrees or not, it can prove that he and the mountain master are in love, so that the mountain master will not be too embarrassed in front of her.
He also thought that this was Jingjing Zhaojian Nunnery, the territory of the four masters, and he would have a way to see the Queen Mother no matter what.
For example, arrange for him to repair water pipes, repair roofs, clean, catch rats and bugs, or meet her when she goes out to take out the trash.
Ah... This method is actually impossible. Every hair of the Queen Mother has been taken care of and ironed comfortably. How could she appear in a house that needs repairs?
This method can be played with Tang Wanrong. Although she is as pampered as the Queen Mother, she has been led astray by Hei Ji and Bai Ji, and it is easy to fall into some tricks and routines.
"Ah...it may be a little difficult to meet the Queen Mother now."
Master Yiyun and Master Yutuan looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths turned up into a gentle smile that was not easily suspicious.
Master Yu Tuan wiped his body with a towel and explained softly: "When the Queen Mother is in the silence of Zhaojian Nunnery, she often stays alone, allowing only the breeze in the mountains, the tinkling of spring water, the chirping of birds, the hissing of insects, and the whistling of leaves. The sound reaches my ears.”
Master Yiyun also showed admiration on her face, "The Queen Mother's state of meditating and cultivating one's nature is extremely high."
Before meeting Qin Shou'an, the Queen Mother's cultivation in this quiet Zhaojian Temple was very simple. Except for reviewing some official documents and government affairs, she could sit in meditation alone from morning to night.
Sometimes Tang Wanrong would come to accompany her, which formed a sharp contrast with the Queen Mother. In the eyes of Master Yiyun, Tang Wanrong was impetuous and was filled with mundane things. She was incomparable to the Queen Mother... I don’t know why. , Tang Wanrong like this made the Queen Mother feel that she had to send five senior sisters from Riyue Mountain to guard Her Highness.
It's probably the shadow of a snake in a cup.
"That will be difficult." Qin Shou'an is not suitable to offend Rong Yue Tu now. He must follow the rules when doing things. As the aloof Queen Mother, she really can't be overbearing if she doesn't want to see him.
"Your Highness, can you tell me why you want to see the Queen Mother?" Master Yu Tuan asked curiously.
The two junior sisters looked at each other under his eyes again and endured it. They really couldn't easily let him know that it was the Queen Mother who gave birth to his daughter.
The main reason is that the Queen Mother has not discussed her future arrangements with them.
The Queen Mother originally said that when she returns to the palace, she will put aside the past and will not have too much involvement with His Highness.
But now she has arranged for the sisters from Riyue Mountain to serve His Highness, as if she wants to maintain this relationship and does not want Tang Wanrong to capture His Highness near the water.
Maybe the Empress Dowager was also in a state of confusion. She knew clearly that severing the ties would lead to many hidden dangers, but she was reluctant to cut them off decisively.
"Then you promise me that these words will never reach the ears of the fourth person again." Qin Shou'an said in a low voice.
"Um."
Master Yutuan and Master Yiyun both nodded.
Although there were two masters at the peak of the ninth rank in this small bathroom, it was impossible for there to be ears between the walls, but the three of them still came together cautiously, as if they were conspiring.
"I would like to ask the Queen Mother for a marriage proposal, so that the mountain owner can become the Princess of Langya."
After Qin Shou'an finished speaking, he looked at the expressions of Master Yutuan and Master Yiyun with concern. Sometimes the expressions and eyes that appeared first were often more true than what they said next.
He wanted to see if this matter was reliable in the eyes of others. If the mountain master's closest disciples all thought there was something wrong, then the chance that the Queen Mother would be willing to approve it would be even smaller.
Uh...their expressions, are they suffering and enduring? Can't speak anymore? Then a smile seemed to bloom at the corner of his mouth, and then it receded. The way the two looked at him was somehow different.
"Your Highness, this matter cannot be rushed." The towel in Master Yu Tuan's hand fell into the basin, and the splashing water splashed under the hem of her gauze skirt, sticking to her soft and delicate skin. Came over and snuggled next to him.
Her eyes were full of tenderness. Didn't he know that this was a shameful act? But he still wanted to propose marriage to the Queen Mother. How could such courage not make people love him and make him happy?
It's just that young men are always more impulsive, and they are more likely to become anxious when things go wrong. It's remarkable that His Highness has the city's plans at such a young age, but after all, he is young and energetic, and needs the gentleness of a woman to comfort him.
"It's best for you to wait until the Queen Mother returns to the palace. You are in Jiuzhaojian Nunnery. The Queen Mother will follow the past rules and she will not see anyone. At the same time, after she returns to the palace, she will still follow the past rules. When the prince comes to the throne for the first time, she will There is no reason not to see you." Master Yu's soft palms caressed his chest, kissed him, and blew her breath into his ears.
It makes sense. Qin Shou'an couldn't help but nod immediately. If Mrs. Yu Tuan was his right-hand man and she talked to him like this, he would definitely obey her words.
This is the real feeling of being an arm. If Hei Ji and Bai Ji are right-hand men, no matter how much they whisper in his ears, he just wants them to be tied up with a rope and led behind the horse's buttocks by Little Sun and Moon. .
"That's true... Master Yiyun, do you think so too?" Qin Shou'an knew that they were the ones who knew Rong Yue Tu best, so it would be safer for both of them to ask.
Master Yiyun was looking at her seventh junior sister in trance. The seventh junior sister seemed to be unable to stand unless she hung on him.
Her body is as lingering as a snake, and her expression is as charming as a vixen. Her soft-spoken and seductive manner makes her look like a master of romance who has been practicing for many years. If she hadn't just seen her Hai Qing robe, there would still be a The decoration of the monk's bedroom would make Master Yiyun really think that this place is not Shanyou Fusu Residence, but His Highness's villa and his wives and concubines raised in the boudoir.
Overnight, overnight...
"Senior sister? Fifth senior sister?" Master Yutuan noticed that the senior sister was looking at her blankly.
"Yeah..." Master Yiyun came back to her senses, thinking about the expressions in the eyes of the junior sister just now, but she was also a little moved.
"Whether the Queen Mother is willing or not, you must ask for her hand in marriage. Before talking to her in person, it is best to send her a letter to be mentally prepared... We will not do these things for you, nor will we Reveal it." Master Yiyun said meaningfully.
She gently held his arm, then slipped her fingers down, and her fingertips touched his palm. Then she spread her fingers apart, touched his fingers for a few times, and finally clasped them together.
Unlike the junior sister, who was so enchanting and flirtatious, Master Yiyun's posture was more like the companionship of a confidante. She was less charming and agitated, but more sincere and sincere, making people involuntarily think that she was more worthy. trust.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Qin Shou'an felt like his soul was wandering as he listened to Master Yiyun's words. Let him just go east and west as she told him.
Master Yiyun smiled slightly. There was nothing that could be done about it. The seventh junior sister was wearing light clothes and sticking to others like that, so she could naturally charm His Highness. However, she was wearing a serious Haiqing robe, and she couldn't be here by herself. If you take it off, then you have to use a dignified and elegant ladylike posture to comfort His Highness.
When he spoke and made those actions, he was still a little jerky and deliberate, but when he actually spoke and took action, he immediately became involved.
It turns out that it is not difficult for a woman to act coquettishly towards a man she likes and admires, especially after she is honest with him. He seems to like him very much, and she seems to like him very much too. She can try more in the future.
However, Master Yutuan couldn't help but was stunned. She had just discovered that Fifth Senior Sister was staring at her, and she was actually learning how to act coquettishly...
Smart people learn things quickly. Seeing the appearance of Fifth Senior Sister, who would have thought that she is a celebrity in the Buddhist world who has re-translated thirteen scriptures in new style articles?
You must know that the monks of Daci Rilun Temple all ask for scriptures in New Tibetan translations from her. Many respected old monks have discussions with her because of Fifth Senior Sister's talent and learning.
Where is the appearance of a master's wife? Wearing only a light robe and still hugging His Highness tightly, Master Yutuan looked at Fifth Senior Sister with admiration.

Well, I was afraid that I would forget everything when I woke up in the morning, so I quickly made up for it while I still remembered a rough idea.
Please give me a monthly ticket, ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo (screaming)
