"Of course you can go. I have climbed mountains so many times, how can I lose to a child?" Seeing Qin Wanru far ahead, the eldest princess put away her worries and stepped on the mountain unwilling to admit defeat. Climb one step.
Qin Wanru was still climbing up the mountain step by step. Shui Ruolan had already run out of energy, so she stood in the middle to rest. She was the only one who continued to climb up with Yu Jie.
Yu Jie originally grew up in the mountains. Although she was tired, she could still bear it. Qin Wanru's body must not be as good as hers. At this time, her face was pale, and even the corners of her lips, which had always been pink and tender, turned pale. The color was pale, but she continued to climb up.
"Miss, do you want to stop and take a rest?" Yu Jie saw that she was at the end of her strength and wanted to reach out to help her.
Qin Wanru shook her hand. She almost didn't have the strength to speak now. She just climbed up the mountain vigorously. Only by walking higher would she be more likely to attract the attention of the eldest princess Ruian.
In her last life, she encountered misery one after another, and her life was even more dark and hopeless. Therefore, during this period of questioning her mind, she desperately tried to climb up the mountain, hoping to express her piety to the Buddha and seek her own destiny. turnaround.
This attracted Princess Ruian's attention, and she bluntly expressed that she liked her persistence.
In this life, she is reborn, and she cannot lose to the previous life!
His breathing became heavier and heavier. During the heavy breathing, Qin Wanru could almost feel the dry smell in his throat. He gritted his teeth and tried again, without looking back to see how many steps he had taken or how many steps he had left. Before leaving, I just relied on my tenacity to climb up step by step.
"Hey, this girl is still walking!" When Grandma Gao stood and rested with Princess Ruian, she looked up and saw that Qin Wanru was still going up, and she couldn't help but be surprised.
The eldest princess Ruian wiped the sweat from her head and squinted her eyes. Although she was old, she often came to climb mountains, and her health was better than that of ordinary young people. Especially for ladies and ladies from such aristocratic families, it was almost difficult for them to do so. No one can compare to her.
But the porcelain doll-like girl from before was still crawling without stopping, which caught her attention. This girl's resilience really amazed her, and she also had a familiar feeling.
"I'll ask you which family the girl is from later!" Princess Ruian couldn't help but said, at such a young age, she can be so tenacious and insist on doing one thing!
"Yes, the eldest princess!" Aunt Gao also wiped the sweat from her head.
"Let's go up, we can't really be inferior to a little girl!" Princess Ruian smiled, started walking again, adjusted her breathing and continued to go up.
When passing Shui Ruolan, I took a special look at Shui Ruolan and realized that Shui Ruolan was actually not young anymore. She was at least twenty-five years old. She should be the mother of the girl above.
Smiling at her kindly, Princess Ruian continued to climb up.
Shui Ruolan's health is not very good. She used to live quietly in the backyard of the Qin Mansion. She didn't even see anyone else, so how could she exercise. At this time, she was already feeling hot and had to stop. , seeing an old woman smiling kindly at her as she walked by, she smiled softly at Princess Ruian and returned the favor.
That kind of gentle and kind performance made Princess Ruian feel good about her.
This mother and daughter are both well-educated and courteous.
Qin Wanru was standing unsteadily near the last step, slipped and almost fell.
Yujie wanted to hold her up, but she was too tired now. Although she could still hold on, her steps were sloppy and her reaction was too late. She only had time to hold Qin Wanru's hand and saw Qin Wanru His face changed, his lips turned as white as snow, and his body leaned to the side. He immediately knew something was wrong, and hurriedly stretched out his other hand to half-hug Qin Wanru.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Qin Wanru held Yu Jie's hand and gasped hard, her face as big as a palm as white as snow!
It took a long time and I still couldn't come back to my senses!
"I... my foot seems to be twisted... twisted!" Qin Wanru gasped, suppressing the smell of blood in her throat, and the sweat on her face fell one by one, as if it was a scorching summer day.
The whole person feels a little dizzy!
"Miss, I will carry you up!" Looking at the end that was not far away, Yu Jiezhong squatted in front of Qin Wanru.
"You don't need to carry...I...will go up!" Qin Wanru shook her head.
"But you've injured your foot, how can you get up there in a while?" Yu Jie said worriedly.
"It's okay... I... just take a rest." Qin Wanru shook her head firmly again, panted heavily and closed her eyes, feeling dizzy in front of her eyes.
She was indeed very exhausted today, and her whole body was so sore that she almost didn't want to move anymore.
He lowered his body and reached out to pinch his ankle. Although it hurt a little, it was not severe and it didn't look like the injury was serious.
"Wait... I'll go up in a moment!" Qin Wanru stood up straight and insisted.
Seeing that she was still so persistent, Yujie helplessly helped her stand beside a big stone. There was a smooth place on the big stone beside the steps. In the past, there should be many people resting and sitting here.
Helping Qin Wanru to sit down on the smooth place, Yuzhi squatted down and wanted to help Qin Wanru check his condyle, but Qin Wanru waved his hand to stop him.
"We'll talk about it later when we get to the mountain. This... people coming and going here are... not... too polite!" Qin Wanru calmed down a little, wiped the sweat from his face with a handkerchief, and shook his head.
The etiquette of aristocratic families places a lot of demands on women, so how can you check the ankles in a place where people come and go
"Miss, what's wrong? Can you help me?" Grandma Gao helped the eldest princess Ruian finally reach this step. She looked at Qin Wanru, who was being supported by the maid and her face was as pale as snow. Princess Ruian signaled Grandma Gao came over to ask. It didn't look good to be able to climb such a long step all at once.
"Thank you... mama... I'm fine!" Qin Wanru smiled and shook her head.
"What's wrong with Miss's feet?" Aunt Gao asked with concern as she lowered her head and saw Qin Wanru's feet standing up slightly.
"Accidentally... I twisted it!" Qin Wanru bit her lips, which had not recovered for a while, with a bit of childish shyness.
"You're still walking with your feet twisted, what a child!" Princess Ruian walked over with pity, inexplicably liking the girl in front of her.
Whether it was his delicate little face, his stubborn temper that refused to admit defeat, and his resilience, they all reminded her of a person in her memory. Her heart softened and she asked with concern.
"Thank you, old lady, I... I'm fine!" Qin Wanru smiled, reaching out to hold the stone on one side, about to stand up and salute her.
"You're hurt, why are you saluting? There's no need to be too polite!" Looking at her pale face under her sweaty hair, Princess Ruian felt even more pity for her, and stretched out her hand to signal her not to be polite, "How can you be so good like this?" Go, let someone carry you up, there are only a few steps anyway!"
"Thank you, madam, for your concern. I heard that this road is the Buddhist way of asking questions. I can finish it, but I still want to finish it by myself!" A shy smile broke out on Qin Wanru's face, which was childish and sweat-stained. Some are embarrassed and some are pale.
"Okay, then I will go for a walk with you today!" Princess Ruian smiled and took the initiative to reach out and give her a hand.
It is true that there are only a few steps next, but in fact, when most people reach Qin Wanru's level, they will not take the last few steps. Even if it is only a few small steps, they will find it difficult to climb to the sky.
Insufficient psychological endurance will lead to inertia.
When Qin Wanru stood on the steps and saw the magnificent temple, she let out a deep breath. Yujie helped her sit down on the stone stool on the side, waiting for Shui Ruolan to come up.
Aunt Gao also supported the eldest princess Ruian to sit opposite Qin Wanru. She must be old and out of breath. There was actually tea on the stone table. Yu Jie poured two cups for them. It was still hot. .
"Which family are you from? How come I haven't seen you before?" Princess Ruian took a sip of tea, took a breath and then asked with a smile.
"My father is General Ning Yuan who just came to Beijing to resume his duties." Qin Wanru said with a smile.
Her skin color is very white, as transparent as snow, and it has calmed down now. The snow-like skin is reflected in pink again. Her big eyes, under the long eyelashes, look clean and soft, and her bright red lips are even brighter. It gave her a bit more glamorous vitality, but she still looked like snow.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, it would have been hard for the eldest princess to believe that such a girl with pink makeup could be so resilient just now.
"As expected of General Ning Yuan, she is really amazing!" Although Princess Ruian was not familiar with General Ning Yuan, this did not prevent her from liking him more, and her praises were sincere.
The man she married was also a military general. Compared to the convoluted civil servants, Princess Ruian felt that a military general was more straightforward and more pleasing to the eye.
"Old Madam, you are so complimentary!" Qin Wanru lowered her head slightly and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile.
"When did you arrive in Beijing?" Princess Ruian looked at Qin Wanru in a good mood and asked.
"This... I just arrived yesterday. I heard about the reputation of Huaguang Temple and came here with my mother early in the morning." Qin Wanru did not hide anything, raised her head and answered bluntly.
He is generous, gentle and quiet, which is very lovable.
"Which one below is your mother, General Ningyuan's wife?" Princess Ruian asked smoothly.
"It's my mother, but my mother is my father's equal wife, and she was my father's cousin." Qin Wanru bit her lip and hesitated, her words a bit vague.
"Your father's cousin?" Princess Ruian felt that there was something going on here, so she reexamined the sentence.
"You married into the house to take care of me. I... am just a naughty person. My father doesn't trust me!" Qin Wanru became more and more vague. She seemed a little uneasy as she spoke, and the handkerchief was twisted a few times between her fingers. Circled, but then dropped, it seemed that she actually didn't know how to word it.
The eldest princess Ruian had been through a lot of things, and she had long understood that there must be something fishy here, so she didn't ask in detail, and immediately asked: "In a few days, I will host a banquet at my house, and I will send you a message. How about playing?"
"Who are you?" Qin Wanru raised her eyes and asked in confusion.
"Our master is the eldest princess Ruian!" Aunt Gao stood up from behind the eldest princess Ruian and said with a smile.
