Compared to the prosperous temples frequented by the royal family near the outskirts of Beijing, although the incense here is also prosperous, it is much more quiet and peaceful.
Mrs. Guogong used to be a devout pilgrim in major temples, but she came more often to Xiangyun Temple located on the top of Mianshan Mountain outside Beijing. It was only after she became seriously ill that she rarely went to the mountain, but the abbot of the temple expressed his gratitude. His sincerity still reserved a guest room for the Duke's Mansion.
"Ten years ago, a heavy rain almost destroyed this ancient temple. After my grandmother found out, she ordered people to go up the mountain every year to help with repairs. I was still young at the time and followed her around. Miss Jin'er saw that the tree was mine at that time. Sown!”
Liang Yuanyi pointed to a bodhi tree in the courtyard with great pride. Song Jin'er looked up and there seemed to be a smile on her face, which instantly made Liang Yuanyi happy.
He rarely sees her smiling. Does this mean that Miss Jin'er also has a crush on him? !
At this time, Nanny Huang followed a young novice monk and came forward with a delicate food box. Song Jin'er, who was originally in a good mood, immediately turned into her usual cold and distant look.
"Miss Jin'er, the princess is afraid that you won't be used to the vegetarian food in the temple, so she asked the slave to make some pastries."
Song Jin'er didn't respond to her. Aunt Huang seemed to be used to her attitude, so she put the food box on the stone table with a flattering smile, "I have been in the yard next door for the past two days. What do you want me to do, girl?" You can all find slaves.”
"Brother, do you know?" Song Jin'er finally spoke, and Nanny Huang nodded, "Your Majesty is also worried that it will be inconvenient for you."
After all, there are novice monks in the temple, so it is inevitable that they will encounter some troubles that are difficult to deal with.
But Song Jin'er felt strange. In the past, she had no problem hunting alone in the mountains. Why did her brother treat her like a child?
After Nanny Huang left, Xia Yunxian and Liang Qianqian happened to come out of the house.
"Princess Xian, do you really treat you so well?"
Liang Qianqian looked at the various exquisite pastries in the food box and couldn't help but ask, but in fact, they could all see that Song Jin'er didn't like Princess Xian.
As expected, Song Jin'er frowned slightly, "She has been trying to please me in the past few years, but I don't trust her."
But there should be no problem with these pastries. No matter how courageous Cen Yurong is, she would not dare to do anything so openly.
Xia Yunxian and Liang Qianqian immediately looked at each other. Even with Song Jin'er's upright temperament, it could be seen that Princess Xian was deliberately trying to please her, and it seemed that she really took good care of her.
"Not long after she got married to her adopted brother, she was assassinated once. When I was hiding, I discovered that she secretly left clues to the assassin."
What? !
As soon as Song Jin'er finished speaking, Liang Qianqian's expression changed, "So Princess Xian and those assassins are in the same group?"
"I had no evidence at the time, but later, she was seriously injured trying to save my adopted brother and almost died."
"..." There was a moment of silence all around. Liang Qianqian felt that such a complicated matter was something that a person like her would not be able to understand even if she tried to figure it out.
However, Xia Yunxian recalled that when King Xian was seriously ill with fever, the panic on Cen Yurong's face was not fake. So why did she want to harm King Xian in the first place?
On this day, Song Jin'er ignored Nanny Huang, and Nanny Huang naturally did not dare to disturb her.
"The second young master of the Liang family has been lingering in Song Jin'er's yard?" On this side, Cen Yurong received the news from Aunt Huang, and couldn't help but show a bit of ridicule on her face.
She is really confused. Could it be that she wants to say that Liang Yuanyi has fallen in love with a wild girl like Song Jin'er?
Impossible. There are many noble girls in the capital who want to marry the Duke. Liang Yuanyi has been picking and choosing for so long. Song Jiner is mediocre in appearance and not familiar with amorous feelings. She is a lump of wood. How can He De catch his eye?
"Go and tell her that the plan remains unchanged and let her go ahead with confidence."
For two consecutive days, Nanny Huang just borrowed the temple’s dining room to make some pastries and delivered them to her. She did not do anything else.
"Grandma Huang is really nimble with her hands and feet. I saw her in the dining room helping the novices wash dishes, chopsticks and vegetables."
It was almost noon after Xia Yunxian and the others finished chanting, and Liang Yuanyi came to the courtyard again. He couldn't sit still and couldn't listen to the scriptures for several hours, so he simply walked around and looked for opportunities to get close to Song Jin'er.
"She has been in the dining room?"
Xia Yunxian seemed to ask unintentionally, and Liang Yuanyi nodded. At this moment, Aunt Huang followed a young novice monk to the front in a slightly panic, "Mr. Liang, it's all my fault. I was careless just now." I spilled the vegetarian food for you today!"
"No, it's all the young monk's fault. Aunt Huang was just helping to serve the dishes out of kindness. It's the young monk who didn't hold it steady. Please punish Mr. Liang!"
Because men and women are different, Liang Yuanyi and Xia Yunxian ate separately. But this time he was the only male pilgrim, so he was given a separate portion.
Now if you overturn it, you have to do it again, which will take some time.
As a member of the Duke's Palace, the young novice did not dare to let him eat the vegetarian food of the novices in the temple.
The two of them shouldered each other's responsibilities, but Liang Yuanyi smiled openly, "It's okay, it's okay to have dinner later!"
"How can this be done? If the prince finds out..." Grandma Lei was so anxious that she was about to cry, and looked at Song Jin'er beside her for help.
"Let Mr. Liang sit down with us. We can't finish the vegetarian food here."
Song Jin'er had no doubt that he was there. She didn't hate Liang Yuanyi, and naturally she didn't object to having dinner with him.
Since he was his elder brother, Liang Qianqian had no objection.
"Thank you so much, Miss Jin'er. I'll go and set the dishes and chopsticks right now!" Grandma Huang looked happy and followed the little novice to prepare the food.
This scene fell in Xia Yunxian's eyes and made her heart move. She brought Song Jin'er over and said something in her ear.
The girl's eyes flashed, with a bit of confusion on her face.
"Why?"
"I doubt……"
Things went unexpectedly smoothly, and Nanny Huang felt proud. She neatly placed the dishes and chopsticks, and then heard a faint voice coming from outside the door, "Princess Xian is too hypocritical, how could she be like this?"
Nanny Huang's expression changed. She raised her eyes and saw Song Jin'er and Liang Qianqian whispering in the yard.
She was immediately angry. This wild girl actually spoke ill of the princess in front of the young lady from the Duke's Mansion!
No wonder, no wonder the princess tried several times to get close to the Duke's wife but failed. It turned out that Song Jin'er was the one who got in the way!
What are they talking about?
Nanny Huang bit her lip and immediately followed carefully.
Soon, Xia Yunxian's figure appeared in the dining room. Her clear eyes fell on the neat bowls and chopsticks in front of her, and she fell into deep thought...
