Everyone in the imperial capital knew that the eldest princess had lived in seclusion in Qu'an Temple for more than ten years, but no one dared to come here to visit the eldest princess during these ten years.
Not only because of her noble status, but also because the current emperor has never seen her before.
No one can guess the Holy Will, and no one dares to risk offending the Holy One to pay homage to the eldest princess.
"I am Wuming, please see the eldest princess!"
Because of Changsun's words, Wu Qing almost retreated on the spot.
Want to see the eldest princess? No matter your identity, you dare to meet the eldest princess!
Qu'an Temple has never been short of funds in recent years because of the eldest princess, so it naturally does not receive pilgrims frequently.
The pilgrims received were not just ladies, but also women from wealthy and powerful families.
It is very rare for a few young men and women with strange appearances to come to the door like today.
The little nun who opened the door did not show any arrogance. Instead, she said awkwardly: "This benefactor, there is no eldest princess in Qu'an Temple..."
The eldest grandson was confused for a while, but then he understood what the little nun meant.
Once you enter Buddhism, you will be as deep as the sea. From now on, you will have no friends in this mortal world.
Entering Buddhism means escaping into Buddhism, and giving up the fame and fortune in front of you.
Therefore, there is no eldest princess in Qu'an Temple, only the one who was once the eldest princess...
But the eldest grandson doesn’t know what the eldest princess’s dharma title is.
The eldest grandson was a bit stumped by this.
Seeing that the eldest grandson was in trouble, the little nun smiled and said, "Donor, do you want to meet Master Qingding?"
"Yes, yes, please let me know, little master."
After the little nun came into the temple to report, Wu Qing hurriedly pulled his eldest grandson aside.
"The old friend you are talking about is... the eldest princess?"
The eldest grandson was noncommittal.
Wu Qing looked at the other two people beside him in disbelief.
Seeing that Tang Yuyan was silent, Xiaozhou seemed indifferent and seemed not interested in the identity of the eldest princess.
"You all know?"
Wu Qing asked the two of them.
The two of them also looked noncommittal.
Wu Qing was a little confused. These three guys, who seemed to have never been to the imperial capital, actually wanted to see the princess as soon as they entered the city?
It's really crazy...
Before Wu Qing could express his opinion, the little nun just left and returned.
"Donor, please come back. Master Qingding doesn't see any visitors."
The little nun is not very old. She looks about the same age as Chu Li. She has a pair of big, dazzling eyes and a spirituality that is different from ordinary people.
After receiving the reply, the eldest grandson did not retreat immediately. Instead, he took a step forward and said with a smile, "I was so abrupt just now that I didn't even have time to ask my little master for his name."
The little nun obviously belongs to the youngest generation in the temple. At this time, she was a little shy when her eldest grandson called her a little master.
"Poor nun...his name is Mingjing."
"Mirror, mirror...the heart is as bright as a mirror, that's why the eyes can be so intelligent and clear."
The eldest grandson could not help but praise Ming Jing's dharma title as he read it.
Ming Jing felt a little embarrassed after being praised.
Changsun had no intention of teasing, he just wanted to get closer to Ming Jing to facilitate things.
Then Changsun took out something from his sleeve, held it in both hands and handed it to Ming Jing.
"Please ask Master Mingjing to make another trip and give this item to the eldest princess... No, it's Master Qingding."
Ming Jing looked at the object in Changsun's hand with confusion in his eyes.
This object is cylindrical, slightly thicker than the forearm, and only half the length of the forearm. What is strange is that it has a ring-shaped and spiral structure.
It was the "shock absorber" forged by Changsun in the dream.
Ming Jing hesitated to take it, but under Changsun's sincere gaze, she still hesitantly reached out and took it.
The shy Ming Jing was a little overwhelmed by Zhang Sun's stare, so he had no choice but to agree to Zhang Sun's request and return to the temple again.
Only after closing the temple door did Ming Jing react.
This person has a token, why didn’t he show it out the first time and why did he harm him?
Take another trip by yourself...
Thinking of this, Ming Jing felt as if he had been tricked, so he bared his teeth and claws at the temple door and made a face.
But her kind nature still made her obediently give the token to Uncle Qingding.
After Ming Jing left, Wu Qing came up curiously and asked, "What did you give her?"
Changsun pretended to be mysterious and silent.
Seeing that he couldn't get a reply, Wu Qing couldn't help but continue to ask, so he pretended not to care and mocked: "You just take out an object and want to use it as a token to meet Her Royal Highness the Princess? Really..."
But before Wu Qing could finish speaking, the door of Qu'an Temple opened again, and the mirror went away and came back.
"Donor, please come with me. Uncle Qingding invites you."
Changsun glanced at Wu Qing, who looked as ugly as if he had eaten a fly.
Qu'an Temple has a quiet environment and pleasant scenery, and the air is filled with the sound of Buddhist nuns reciting scriptures.
Changsun and others were led by Ming Jing to a separate courtyard.
Although it is still inside Qu'an Temple and the scenery is the same as the surroundings, the atmosphere is quite different.
What came out from the other courtyard was not the sound of Buddha, but the melodious sound of piano and harp.
Ming Jing walked to the front of the courtyard and stopped, as if there was some savage beast inside. His eyes were a little scared and his movements were a little awkward.
"Donor, Uncle Qingding is inside... The poor nun has resigned."
After saying that, Ming Jing left in a hurry without waiting for his eldest grandson to say goodbye.
The eldest grandson withdrew his gaze and knocked lightly on the door of the other courtyard.
After a while, the door of the courtyard opened, and the woman who greeted her was also wearing Haiqing, but it was a modified monk's robe, which showed off her waist more than the Haiqing worn by the nuns in the courtyard.
"Master, please."
Without any unnecessary words, the two maids led the way and Zhang Sun and others followed behind and entered the other courtyard.
Looking at the woman in front of him who looked like a nun but was actually a maid, and then listening to the sound of piano and psalm in the courtyard that was incompatible with the Buddhist music, Wu Qing couldn't help but frown.
Although Wu Qing seems to be a young man who loves fame, in fact, he has always been disciplined by his master and attaches great importance to teaching etiquette by example.
The scene in the courtyard at this time showed that the eldest princess was not meditating in such a Buddhist pure place, but more like she came to escape the summer heat.
The maids took everyone to the living room of the other courtyard. After sitting for a while, the eldest princess walked in.
I saw that the main seat of the living room did not have a futon commonly used in temples, but a soft couch.
What surprised everyone was that there was a flying carpet suspended above the soft couch.
The eldest princess was dressed in white and gray sea blue. Her long hair was not tied into a hat like the nuns in the temple, but was pinned casually with a blue hairpin.
The eldest princess came to the flying carpet at the main seat and sat down directly, half lying on the flying carpet with her whole body.
Everyone was surprised when they saw this scene, except for Changsun's eyes, which were slightly complicated.
The two maids beside the eldest princess raised the screen to block it in front of everyone.
The eldest princess raised her hand to indicate that it was no longer necessary.
"Reciting scriptures is really boring, but it's better than Master Puhui nagging in my ears..."
The eldest princess stretched her body and complained directly regardless of everyone's feelings.
Compared with more than ten years ago, the eldest princess not only shows no signs of aging, but is more calm and peaceful, and less distant from her high status.
Wu Qing looked at the extremely beautiful eldest princess in front of him, and what he was thinking about was that it was rumored that the eldest princess lived in seclusion in Qu'an Temple, was depressed all day long, and had turned into a yellow-faced woman.
Now it seems that most of the rumors are not credible. Just like the secret news about the unknown Talisman Master and himself that is now spreading in the Imperial City.
The eldest princess sat up slightly and looked at the four young people sitting down. She commented with a smile in her eyes: "Wu Qing, an inner disciple who has been hiding in the Imperial Palace for more than ten years. Well, you can be regarded as the number one disciple of the Imperial Capital Palace in the future. Ten years of gambling on the fate of the sect..."
Although Wu Qing had heard numerous compliments over the years, he was still a little flattered by such praise from the eldest princess.
The eldest grandson looked at
Wu Qing, who was saluting, knew the secret of invulnerability. He could guess what the eldest princess's so-called "big gamble" was...
The bet was right. The day Wu Qing entered the Mortal Realm, he would be a top existence capable of leapfrogging challenges.
The bet was wrong, Wu Qing was a loser who couldn't even practice...
The eldest princess looked at Wu Qing who stood up humbly. Even she couldn't help but sigh that her skin was so flawless.
"You may not know that I even made a special trip to the Imperial Capital to fight for you..."
When Wu Qing heard this, he became a little nervous and didn't know how he should react.
The eldest princess waved her hand, indicating that there was no need to be nervous.
"At that time, I wanted you to be my son...but it didn't work out. I can only say that we are not destined to be mother and son."
Wu Qing suddenly looked embarrassed when he looked at the eldest princess in front of him, who was young enough to look like a sister even though she was old enough to be his own mother.
After the eldest princess finished speaking, she no longer looked at Wu Qing, but turned to look at Tang Yuyan.
"Yu Yan, I haven't seen you for many years. The last time I hugged you, you were only this tall..."
The eldest princess made signs with her hands, indicating that the last time she saw Tang Yuyan, she was just a child.
Tang Yuyan stood up and saluted expressionlessly.
"Greetings to Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess."
The eldest princess waved her hand.
"You don't have to be so shy to meet your aunt."
After hearing this, Tang Yuyan's expression showed a hint of complexity.
Wu Qing and Xiao Zhou on the side were a little shocked.
Of course they didn't believe Tang Yuyan's identity as "Little Swallow", but they didn't expect that she was actually a member of the royal family.
Tang Yuyan's complicated expression disappeared in a flash, and her slightly indifferent expression returned again.
The eldest princess didn't say anything when she saw this, but turned her eyes to the boat wearing a bamboo hat.
It's just that the eldest princess had a rare expression of seriousness, and she couldn't help but sit upright.
"What's Pinglingzhou's plan for sending you down?"
The eldest princess's tone lost the elder-like kindness before, and even had a hint of interrogation.
Xiaozhou stood up, and although his expression could not be seen, he could feel the aura that was neither humble nor arrogant by listening to his voice.
"Your Highness, the eldest princess, is overly worried. Pingling Prefecture has lived in seclusion and has not communicated with the outside world for many years. The master sent his disciples to travel across Kyushu this time just to see the homeland they have not returned to for many years..."
The eldest princess snorted coldly and said unceremoniously: "Then please just travel around the nine states and don't do too many unjust things."
The eldest princess's words shocked everyone. They didn't expect that their companion who had been traveling together for many days was actually walking around the world in Pingling Prefecture, which caused a great uproar in the mainland!
Tang Yuyan looked at the boat in shock. No, it should be Pingchuan. She didn't expect that this wretched man's true identity was actually walking in the world.
Pingchuan saluted and sat back in his seat. Looking at Tang Yuyan's somewhat shocked eyes, he felt proud and proud, and his chin couldn't help but rise a little.
Tang Yuyan, who just sensed Pingchuan's provocation, raised her fists unceremoniously, revealing her true colors in a second.
The eldest princess's eyes finally fell on her eldest grandson.
Her expression softened, with a hint of amusement.
The eldest princess lay back lazily again and propped up her forehead with her white and green fingers.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
It was just four simple words, but Wu Qing and others heard the difference.
It is different from the appreciation of the elders for the younger ones in Wu Qingshi, and it is also different from the intimacy between blood relatives in Tang Yuyanshi.
The eldest princess is more like a friend to her eldest grandson...
The eldest grandson still behaved as he did when he first met the eldest princess.
"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess... It has indeed been a while since I last saw you."
For the eldest grandson, the dream about the Qiu Shou Rebellion was just something he had experienced some time ago, but for the eldest princess, it was not...
"Eleven years to be exact."
The eldest princess's reply shocked Wu Qing and others.
able
It is enough for the eldest princess to give the accurate time, which is enough to prove that the relationship between the eldest princess and her eldest grandson is not simple.
But only the eldest grandson knew that the reason why the eldest princess could remember the time so clearly was not because of him, but because of the Autumn Hunting Rebellion.
This also shows that the eldest princess is not living comfortably in Qu'an Temple...
The eldest princess put away her reminiscing expression, and her eyes started to ponder again.
"Should I call you Nameless Talisman Master now? Or Wangcai?"
"Pfft...prosperous wealth..."
