"Miss Fourth Qu, the abbot of Qingyun Temple wants to come over to burn incense, and I think I should ask your opinion." The maid from the East Palace came in to report.
"Master of Qingyun Temple?" She didn't think that Ji Hanyue knew this Master of Qingyun Temple. If this Master of Qingyun Temple had come just during the ceremony, it would be understandable, after all, this was Qingyun Temple, and Ji Hanyue's identity was not ordinary. But it had been so long, why did this Master of Qingyun Temple come again
I don’t know if it’s because of what Pei Yuanjun said about the old days, but Qu Moying has no respect for the previous master of Qingyun Temple, so he doesn’t care that much about the current master of Qingyun Temple.
"Yes, the abbot of Qingyun Temple said that he wanted to meet the concubine by the way, but the concubine has already gone back." The nanny said helplessly. The prince did not want people to publicize the fact that the concubine had hurried back to the Eastern Palace. When the Taoist nun from Qingyun Temple came to ask, the nanny from the Eastern Palace did not dare to say that the concubine had already gone back.
Want to meet Ji Youran? So this is the main reason
Qu Moying hesitated for a moment, "Didn't you tell me that the Concubine has returned to the East Palace?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not want others to criticize the affairs of the Eastern Palace. The concubine passed away quietly and few people knew about it." The Eastern Palace's nanny thought for a moment and replied.
In other words, the master of Qingyun Temple didn’t know that Ji Youran had left
After a moment of silence, Qu Moying nodded and stood up, "Please invite the Qingyun Temple Master to come in and pay respect!"
The maid from the East Palace nodded and went out. After a while, three Taoist nuns came in, one in front and two behind. The two nuns behind her were holding some offerings in their hands.
The three people walked to Qu Moying who was kneeling on the cushion, and knelt down together, paying a respectful obeisance. Then the two nuns at the back stood up, handed the offerings to the maid from the East Palace, and stepped aside. However, one of them did not stand up and remained kneeling.
Qu Moying knelt in front, and the Taoist nun knelt behind her, almost next to her.
"Madam Concubine, our temple master asks you to come for a walk when you are free. We have something to tell you." The Taoist nun suddenly spoke in a low voice.
Qu Moying didn't even turn his head and whispered faintly: "What's the matter?"
She had long felt that the person who came could not be the legendary Qingyun Temple master, who was known for not fearing power and having a carefree personality. He also had no personal relationship with Ji Hanyue, so it was impossible for him to come in person. Or if he wanted to come, he would have come a long time ago, and there was no need to come at this time.
Ji Youran's return home was done quietly, but Pei Luoan was different. If he went out, the master of Qingyun Temple would definitely know about it.
The most likely reason for coming here at this time is to look for Ji Youran.
"I want to talk to the Concubine about Fourth Miss Qu." The voice of the nun behind her became lower and lower. Amid the full crowd of people offering sacrifices, the people around them could not hear clearly what they were saying.
"How is Miss Qu Si?" Qu Moying asked indifferently.
"This... Please ask the concubine to meet the master of the temple, then you will know." The Taoist nun didn't say anything.
"Is there something wrong with Miss Qu Si?" Qu Moying's heart moved, and he asked in a low voice.
"Earlier, the Concubine asked us to observe the clouds to check our fortunes. The abbot suddenly discovered something and wanted to tell the Concubine again." The nun said again.
Qu Moying was silent for a moment, then nodded, agreeing
Come.
The nun kowtowed three times to the spirit tablet in the middle, stood up, stepped aside politely, and left.
The whole process didn't take much time, as if the whole process was just for these few sentences.
Yu Dong supported Qu Moying's hand and stood up. He muttered unhappily, "It's obviously not the Qingyun Monastery Master. Why did you say that the Qingyun Monastery Master is here?"
"He is the deputy abbot of Qingyun Temple, who is in charge of most of the affairs in Qingyun Temple. The abbot of Qingyun Temple does not see guests." The nanny of the East Palace heard it and explained with a smile.
Therefore, this temple master is not the same one as the previous temple master that Concubine Ji was with.
Qu Moying sat down again, picked up the teacup beside her and took a sip, as if thinking about something. She really didn't know that Ji Youran was so close to the master of Qingyun Temple. It seemed that he had led her there just to see her fortune
However, can the master of Qingyun Temple really predict people's fortunes
Although Qu Moying was alert, he did not believe it completely and put down the teacup in his hand.
It is certain that Ji Youran has a very good relationship with the master of Qingyun Temple, and the two of them even talked about me. It must be that Ji Youran was wary of me, so she let the master of Qingyun Temple take a look.
According to common sense, the master of Qingyun Temple should not be so enthusiastic, and he should not specially send some offerings at this time just to say these few words to Ji Youran.
I didn't say it before, but I say it now. It must be that some of my actions caught the attention of the master of Qingyun Temple.
The master of Qingyun Temple looks very suspicious. He is such a free and easy person, so why does he have such a good relationship with Ji Youran? And it seems that their good relationship has not been a one-day or two-day thing, but Ji Hanyue knows nothing about it. The corners of his lips curled silently. In his previous life, Ji Hanyue was really a failure.
"The Master of Qingyun Temple should know about the attic, right?" Qu Moying asked.
Yu Dong nodded, knowing what Qu Moying was asking: "Don't worry, Miss. The Qingyun Temple master knows about the attic. The attic now belongs to the prince, and the prince has also sent people around. Although you didn't see anyone when you came out, it's because no one stopped you. But if other people approached, they would definitely be stopped. When you came out, no one would have noticed you on the road ahead."
"Then what will happen after that? Will they know that I have been in and out of the attic?" Qu Moying's heart moved.
Pei Luoan’s travel could not be hidden from the Qingyun Temple Master, and Pei Yuanjun’s travel certainly could not be hidden from the Qingyun Temple Master either, because this was her place after all.
"The fact that the young lady appeared at that intersection does not necessarily mean that she has entered the attic. When the prince was in Qingyun Temple, he punished several nuns who spied on him. After that, the nuns in Qingyun Temple no longer dared to spy on the prince. They only knew that the prince had come, but they did not dare to stare at where he went, and they were not allowed to get close to him."
Yudong said again.
So, leaving that place was not the only way out of the attic. Even if a Taoist nun saw me there, she would not think that I had necessarily entered the attic. No matter it was now or in the past, it was a forbidden area of Qingyun Temple. It was not a place that could be entered casually, nor was it a place that could be peeped at casually.
"I heard that the current Qingyun Temple Master was rescued by the previous Qingyun Temple Master. Princess Hengyang should be very grateful to the previous Qingyun Temple Master, right?" Qu Moying blinked and asked softly.
"yes
"Yu Dong nodded. He really knew about this. "But the former abbot has been gone for several years. The current abbot of Qingyun Temple has always been this one."
Qu Moying remained silent. This Qingyun Monastery Master gave her a very strange feeling. If she was a lofty and otherworldly master before, her actions just now immediately pulled her down from the sky and turned her into a person with a strange mind. She didn't know if she was wrong, or because when she entered the door, she was tricked by Ji Youran to let this Qingyun Monastery Master see her. She always felt that there was something wrong...
Pei Luoan came back fairly quickly. Upon hearing that the Crown Prince had arrived, Qu Moying stood up.
Pei Luoan walked in hurriedly with big strides. When he saw Qu Moying nodded slightly, he reached out to take the incense from the eunuch's hand, stood in front of the spirit tablet with a gloomy expression, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner.
After everything was done, he walked aside and Qu Moying stepped forward to greet him.
"Miss Qu Si, there's no need to be so polite." Pei Luoan waved his hand.
"Grandmother is still waiting for me. I'll take my leave now." Qu Moying said.
Pei Luoan didn't seem to expect that she would leave so soon. After looking at her twice, he nodded and said kindly: "Excuse me, Miss Qu Si. Come here and see the reward."
A guard came over from behind, holding a gift box in his hand. He opened it and found several pieces of brocade and palace flowers inside. These were the most popular palace flowers at the time. What made them different from ordinary palace flowers was that they were made of gems. They were obviously very expensive and were definitely not something that ordinary palace servants could afford.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Qu Moying said gracefully and bowed to Pei Luoan. Yu Dong took two steps forward and took the gift box from the eunuch, and his behavior was also decent.
A master and a servant, there was no affectation or panic.
Pei Luoan unconsciously compared herself with Ji Youran in his heart, but found that the Fourth Miss Qu in front of him was more suitable for the identity of the Crown Princess' sister. Her behavior was even more convincing. Although she didn't look like Ji Hanyue, he inexplicably felt that she had some of Ji Hanyue's temperament.
Compared to Ji Youran's initial gentle refusal, who deliberately blocked his way, and finally fell in front of him, the Miss Qu in front of him could be described as fresh and elegant, and made people inexplicably feel fond of her.
"Why isn't Miss Qu Si wearing her sachet?" Pei Luoan said this almost subconsciously, his eyes lowered to look at Qu Moying's slender waist.
A snow-white belt was tied around her slender waist, but it was also clear that nothing was hanging on it.
"Today is a day to pay tribute to my cousin, so naturally I can't wear too many accessories." Qu Moying said.
These words reminded Pei Luoan of Ji Youran. Although Ji Youran's outfit today was also extremely simple, completely different from her usual attire in the Prince's Mansion, it seemed a bit complicated compared to this Fourth Miss Qu.
Cousins are sisters, and cousins are also sisters, and Ji Youran and Ji Hanyue's cousins are obviously closer than cousins. But inexplicably, he felt that the Fourth Miss Qu in front of him was very concerned, but Ji Youran did not take it to heart. Not only did she not take it to heart, but she also made trouble for no reason and ignored his words.
Pei Luoan's eyes darkened. Ji Youran was increasingly treating herself as the mistress of the East Palace, and it was becoming increasingly clear that she was not paying attention to Ji Hanyue's affairs!
This made Pei Luoan inexplicably unhappy...
