"Princess Ying, when we were placing things yesterday, there were still some things that were not placed. Can you let the guards rest for a while tonight?"
Master Ning Yin put down the teacup in his hand, smiled softly, and looked at Wen Yaruyu.
In fact, what he said was murderous.
There was mockery in Qu Moying's eyes. When she first saw the Taoist Ning Yin, she really felt sorry for her. She thought it was a pity that such a good woman had to end up in a Taoist temple and have to become a nun.
Now that I think about it, I must have really seen it wrong. How could the Master Ning Yin in front of me be so weak? How could he be so pitiful
The so-called pity and fragility are really just illusions.
"This... I'm afraid it's not a good idea!" He thought to himself, looking a little embarrassed.
"Princess Ying, this is really nothing. Just let him rest for a while. If he feels a little uncomfortable, you can persuade him to rest aside." Master Ning Yin said with a smile, "Princess, you have already done it once, so why not do it again? It's not a big deal."
If you do it once, you will do it twice, and if you do it twice, you will do it three times.
The bottom line in my heart keeps retreating...
"This... let's not do it!" Qu Moying still shook his head.
The smile on Master Ning Yin's face faded: "Princess Ying, if you do this, it will not be good. The master will not be satisfied, and it will affect your reputation."
Qu Moying lowered his head and seemed to be struggling.
Master Ning Yin's voice softened again: "Princess Ying, things have come to this point. You can check on the guards and see if anything will happen. You think this is really not a big deal. His Royal Highness the King of Ying is unlikely to come here now. If the prince really cares about the rumors about you, he may never come."
"Real man... is this the only time?" Qu Moying raised his head and said with a slightly cold expression.
It can be seen that there is some anger in her, but Master Ning Yin did not dare to really anger Qu Moying, and immediately assured: "This is really the last time. After that, we will really burn the bamboo building and burn it for the former abbot. From now on, nothing will happen. Don't worry, Princess."
After hearing her assurance, the anger on Qu Moying's face subsided a little, and he looked at Master Ning Yin levelly: "It would be great if Master could really think so. The royal family... sometimes may not be as simple as Master thinks. Although there are endless splendors, there are also responsibilities to bear."
"Responsibility? I don't quite understand what the princess is talking about." Ning Yin Zhenren asked with a smile. The matter was resolved and the temple master was also explained. She certainly would not force Princess Ying anymore. Instead, she became interested in what Princess Ying said.
"Master, you have already met the prince. What kind of person do you think he is?" Qu Moying's expression softened and he stopped talking about the guards. The atmosphere between the two men returned to calm.
"The prince is a gentle man." Master Ning Yin blushed and her heart beat faster.
"The prince is indeed gentle, and he is also a man of deep affection and loyalty. Even if they are not my cousin, he is very gentle to other concubines. I heard that everyone around him is living well. But I am not talking about them. In fact, as long as they are favored by the prince, they will not only have no worries about food and clothing in the future, but also their children will have noble status. What I want to talk about is the crown princess."
"The Crown Princess has the most noble status, but the responsibility is also greater. Not only her own, but also everything in the Eastern Palace. She has to take care of the Crown Prince's food, clothing, and other expenses. She also has to take care of the Crown Prince's other concubines. She has to take good care of these concubines, because they will give birth to sons and grandsons of the emperor, after all."
Master Ning Yin's heart was becoming increasingly restless. She didn't dare to think about the position of Crown Princess for the time being, and she knew very well that she couldn't bear such a responsibility.
But she could deserve the prince's favor.
She didn't want to practice asceticism here under the green lamp and waste her best years of life here, and she didn't want her children to do the same.
She didn't want to get involved in what the master of Qingyun Temple was planning.
But she didn't dare to leave, as the temple master would take her life. But if she left with the crown prince, it would be a different story. Feeling her heartbeat quicken, she took two deep breaths to calm her restlessness, and cautiously probed, "I heard that the crown prince was deeply in love with the former crown princess. Can any other woman in the East Palace be favored by him?"
"A dead person is dead after all. My cousin is no longer here. What's the point of saying all this? The prince is a noble man. How could he always miss my cousin?" Qu Moying sighed and turned his eyes to the window, watching the white light outside the window, "She is just a dead person."
Indeed, just a dead person!
Are you afraid of a dead person
Thinking of this, Master Ning Yin felt that his hope was getting greater. The prince's look at him before was full of affection. Although he didn't say anything outrageous, he had been following him all the time and he didn't say anything. When he left, he even asked the eunuch to reward him.
It can be seen that I am in line with his wishes.
Qu Moying's eyes were still fixed on the window. "My cousin is a very good person, but her appearance is not the best after all. In fact, it's not just her. I am the same. The mainstream in the capital has always been to be pure and unworldly. The reason why my cousin is so important to the prince is that her marriage was arranged long ago."
So, the prince also likes people like me who are pure and beautiful? Master Ning Yin almost couldn't control her urge to laugh. She suppressed it with all her strength and calmed down her restlessness. Her eyes fell on Qu Moying's face. The appearance of the Princess of England in front of her was actually truly beautiful.
Such delicate facial features are almost natural beauty.
It's just a pity that no matter how beautiful she is, people nowadays like beautiful women like me, not such a stunningly gorgeous woman.
Just because of this, Master Ning Yin's heart, which had been considered calm, could no longer be calm.
The Crown Prince cares so much about the former Crown Princess only because the two of them were engaged a long time ago, and it can be considered as a childhood sweetheart relationship. If it were not for this, how could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still miss the former Crown Princess.
Thinking about it this way, I am really overjoyed...
"My cousin said that the prince looks kind, but there are actually not many people who really appeal to him and whom he really cares about." Qu Moying continued, looking out the window as always. Seeing that she seemed to be lost in her memories, Master Ning Yin became much bolder.
"What does Princess Ying think of the current Crown Princess?" If it was Master Ning Yin who had said this before, she would never have dared to say this. But now Princess Ying was obviously in a trance, so she probably wouldn't notice that she said such outrageous words. Besides, Princess Ying was about to become "one of us", so there was no need to pay attention to such words.
"Crown Princess... the current Crown Princess?" Qu Moying shook her head and said nothing more, but her words were meaningful.
Master Ning Yin had also heard that the current Crown Princess was out of favor, and now that she heard it, it was true. This meant that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had no one in his heart, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had obviously treated her differently before.
Does it mean that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is actually interested in her
My heart started pounding again, as if it was going to jump out of my throat. I picked up the tea in front of me and took two big gulps before I could suppress the restlessness.
But Qu Moying's words made her excited again...
"That day, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came over and talked about my cousin... There are some things that I don't know how to say. I will investigate my cousin's matter no matter what. Judging from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's expression, he also thought of my cousin's intention and wanted to investigate this matter..."
Qu Moying nodded. Yuxiu came out from the back with a case file in her hand. Qu Moying took it and flipped through it. "This is the case file that was just delivered. It's about my cousin... It's just that I was too harsh that day. In fact, I was also worried about my cousin. I was afraid that something really happened to her."
He put down the case file in his hand and looked at it with some embarrassment.
"Could you trouble the Master of Qingyun Monastery to help me deliver this to the Eastern Palace? I don't have enough manpower here, and... it's better for the Master to do it."
It seemed that Qu Moying was not only worried about the manpower issue, but also because he and the prince had parted ways on bad terms. Zhenren Ning Yin was with the prince at the time and was very clear about what was going on.
The attitude that day was too tough, and now I am a little panicked, I want to find a middleman to talk it out...
The Princess of England is not in a good situation now. She even dared to contradict the Crown Prince that day. Master Ning Yin thought that the Princess of England was a little stupid at that time, but now it seems that she is not completely stupid. At least she wants to make amends.
This gave her a good excuse...
"Don't worry, Princess. I will report this matter to the abbot, and he will deliver it to you." Taoist Master Ning Yin said hurriedly, reaching out to grab the case file in front of her. She was just thinking about how she couldn't take the initiative to contact His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to test his intentions, but she didn't expect that such a good excuse would come to her. This was really great.
The other end of the case file was held down by Qu Moying. Master Ning Yin did not move it in his anxiety. He calmed down and then looked up at Qu Moying with a somewhat dissatisfied look on his face. He held the case file in his hand and had no intention of letting it go.
Such a good thing finally came to her door, how could she let the opportunity slip away.
"Princess, what's going on?"
"I'm afraid that Master Qingyun will also bear some responsibility for this matter. It's not appropriate to trouble Master all the time. Let me think about it. I wonder if my grandmother has any available manpower." Qu Moying said slowly.
"Princess, this matter should be dealt with sooner rather than later. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been looking for Miss Ji San. If you have any news about Miss Ji San, it would be better to send it to him as soon as possible to avoid delays, which would be bad for everyone." Master Ning Yin deliberately emphasized the tone of the last sentence.
This sentence made Qu Moying's hand loosen. Master Ning Yin snatched the case file, put it into his sleeve, stood up and said goodbye reluctantly.
At this moment, her mind was filled with the prince and his love. How could she sit down and talk to Qu Moying peacefully
She didn't want the master to know about this, so she just had to do it in private...
Just as he started to move, he suddenly heard Qu Moying's faint voice behind him: "Does the master know Miss Yuan?"
My feet suddenly froze...
