"The Crown Princess's Phoenix Body has almost reached perfection, but she still couldn't get over that hurdle in the end. I saw from the divination of Miss Fourth Qu's abacus that she is trying to take advantage of the situation." The Qingyun Temple Master's eyes fell on the abacus chips in front of him, his brows slightly wrinkled, and he explained while moving the chips in front of him to check them.
"What does it mean to take advantage of the situation?" Qu Moying was surprised.
She was just a daughter of a wealthy family who was raised in seclusion, and she didn't quite understand these professional terms.
The Qingyun Temple Master smiled slightly, "It's actually very simple. The Crown Princess was a person of great luck, but she couldn't get over that fateful hurdle, so she disappeared. However, although she was gone, some of her luck did not disappear, and was transferred to other people. The fact that Fourth Miss Qu was able to condense the appearance of a flying phoenix later must have something to do with the Crown Princess."
"Yes... my cousin gave me luck?" Qu Moying was very excited, his eyes were slightly red, and his body leaned forward slightly.
"You can say that, but it could also be that Fourth Miss Qu's luck has come." The Qingyun Temple Master sighed and put down the abacus in his hand. "The former Crown Princess was kind-hearted. Even if she disappeared from the world, she would still care for Fourth Miss Qu. She must be worried about Fourth Miss Qu."
"What about my cousin? Has the legacy been passed down to my cousin... She is my cousin's biological sister and so young. My cousin must be worried about her, right?" Qu Moying picked up an abacus and held it in front of the master of Qingyun Temple, as if she was seeking a correct answer from her.
“Miss Qu Si, if it is destined to happen, it will happen eventually. If it is not destined to happen, don’t force it.” The master of Qingyun Temple looked at her gently, as if he was looking at a naughty child.
Qu Moying fell silent, the abacus in his hand fell down powerlessly, his fingers twitched for a moment, and his white and tender fingertips slowly flattened, "Master, do you really not know the whereabouts of my cousin?"
The head of Qingyun Temple shook his head and said: "If I have such great ability, why do I need the government? Miss Qu Si just needs to remember that good deeds will be rewarded, and there will be retribution in the end."
"Thank you, Taoist priest." Qu Moying took back his hand and lowered his head for a long time before calming down. "I got my cousin's luck, so I am doing well, but my cousin is missing... If possible, I am willing to give my luck to my cousin, just to pray for her safety."
"Fourth Miss Qu is also a kind person, but this fortune is also the will of heaven and earth, and it cannot be given to anyone you want. Fourth Miss Qu does not need to blame herself. The Crown Princess's fortune is like this, and being able to leave a part of it to Fourth Miss Qu is also what she wants, and it may be her last obsession that dissipates between heaven and earth."
The main path of Qingyun Temple.
Qu Moying was silent for a long time again. When he raised his head again, his eyes were still red. "Thank you, Taoist Priest, for clearing up my doubts."
"If Fourth Miss Qu wants to go out for a walk, please do as you please. I don't actually need you to accompany me here." The Qingyun Temple Master smiled slightly, which meant that she could see that Qu Moying was feeling uneasy right now, and it would be best for her to find a quiet place alone, and she didn't need to accompany her either.
Qu Moying stood up, bowed deeply to the master of Qingyun Temple, and thanked him again: "Thank you for your guidance, Taoist."
"It's not really guidance, it's just a fate." The Qingyun Temple Master smiled peacefully, calmly and unperturbed.
"When will be the next time I can meet the Taoist priest again?" Qu Moying asked again.
The head of Qingyun Temple sighed leisurely, and said with a hint of smile: "No one can predict the coming and going of fate. There are also causes and effects for the departure of fate. Fourth Miss Qu is obsessed."
Qu Moying frowned slightly, looking a little confused, but fortunately she was tactful and did not ask any further questions. After bowing to the master of Qingyun Temple, she retreated.
The master of Qingyun Temple watched her leave with a smile as always.
There were two Taoist nuns outside the door. When they saw Qu Moying coming out with her maid, the two young Taoist nuns bowed together.
"Is Master Ning Yin outside?" Qu Moying stopped and asked a young Taoist nun.
"The master is entertaining guests outside. Please do as you please, Miss Qu Si." The little nun smiled and answered in a low voice. Her voice was not loud, probably because she was afraid of disturbing the peaceful master of Qingyun Temple inside.
Does this mean that he doesn't care about his young lady? Yu Dong was a little indignant and wanted to speak, but he saw his young lady gave him a blank look, so he could only retreat to the side in a depressed mood.
After asking the nun for directions, Qu Moying left with the two maids, found a road and walked down casually.
The scenery of Qingyun Temple is very beautiful. From time to time, you can see delicate flowers blooming on the branches, rockery and flowing water. It is worthy of being built specially for the princess. In terms of overall scale and scenery, it is more beautiful than ordinary mansions. Some places even have a royal style.
It can be seen that the princess was really favored at that time.
"Miss, didn't you ask me to come and talk to the abbot of Qingyun Temple? Why are you left here now without anyone to receive me? Who is Master Ningyin going to receive now?" Yu Dong said angrily, looking back at the small courtyard behind him. There were tall bamboos everywhere, and it was quiet and peaceful.
"No need, let's go to the back, there is a attic. Ning Zhenyin didn't say that she would accompany us the whole time." Qu Moying smiled indifferently.
After leaving the quiet room, she calmed down and the obvious emotions on her face disappeared. She was no longer the Miss Qu Si who was a little confused and was led by the words of the master of Qingyun Temple.
"Miss, are you saying that the previous Miss Liu also left on her own?" Yu Dong's eyes turned and he suddenly understood.
"If not, Master Ning Yin should have accompanied Miss Liu at that time instead of taking us to see the abbot of Qingyun Temple." Qu Moying narrowed his eyes slightly, his watery eyes were elegant and leisurely.
"Does that mean someone else will come next? Miss, let's not leave yet and see who will come." Yu Dong stopped and looked back.
They have already gone all the way out and turned a corner. Even if they stop here, they cannot see the quiet room.
"Since you've left, why should you stay? Besides, even if you saw it, so what?" Qu Moying said indifferently, stretched out his hand to pull away a soft willow branch in front of him, and walked forward.
Yu Dong hurriedly took a few steps to catch up with Qu Moying: "Miss, do you really not want to take a look? Do you want me to stay and take a look?"
"No need!" Qu Moying shook his head decisively. "If someone wants to see us, they will come naturally. If they don't want to see us, we won't be able to see them even if we go there."
The two maids didn't understand what was said. They looked at their mistress and followed her helplessly.
After speaking a few words with the abbot of Qingyun Temple, my young lady seemed to be becoming more and more sophisticated. Could it be that the abbot of Qingyun Temple really had such great abilities
The place they went to was the attic in the bamboo forest of Qingyun Temple.
That place became more and more elegant, with tall bamboos interlaced and dotted with small flowers. From time to time, you can see a beautiful flower sticking out from the edge of the green bamboo leaves, making the bamboos look even greener.
, dripping with joy.
When we went up to the bamboo building, everything inside was very clean. We could tell at a glance that someone had been taking care of this place.
Qu Moying sat down on the bamboo mat in the middle. Not long after Yudong came down from the bamboo building, he came up with a pot of tea and two plates of snacks.
Qu Moying took a sip of tea. Different from the tea served by the master of Qingyun Temple just now, this tea was less astringent and less fragrant. It was just ordinary tea, but it was new tea, and the taste was very good.
He reached out and picked up a bamboo slip in front of him and slowly opened it. It should be a very old bamboo slip. At that time, it was not made of paper, but of the finest bamboo slips.
"Miss, there is a piano here." Yuchun said in surprise, pointing to the piano bench on the side.
Qu Moying looked up and saw that there was indeed a piano stool. He didn't see it when he came last time. Of course, there was no bamboo slips when he came last time.
"It should be prepared by the master for the young lady. Maybe he knew that the young lady would come here to take a look." Yu Dong said with a smile. In fact, it was not a possibility, but a possibility. He had just asked the guards here.
"Miss, would you like to play a song?" Yuchun said with a smile. The young lady was going to marry His Royal Highness the King of England soon. It was a great thing to have His Royal Highness the King of England pay so much attention to her. She must not let the prince down.
Qu Moying thought about it and nodded.
Two maids helped her carry the piano stool in front of her, and moved the previous desk off the bamboo mat and placed it aside.
Seeing a bamboo incense burner stand on the side, Yu Chun went over and lit the incense burner stand. The lingering fragrance was somewhat similar to the one used by the master of Qingyun Temple just now, but also somewhat different. Qu Moying put his hand on the guqin, but did not play it immediately. His eyes fell on the guqin.
She knows and loves guqin, but she couldn't tell what kind of guqin this was, and it didn't even have a name.
Fortunately, she did not worry about it. She reached out and wiped the sound and found that it was really good. She placed the bamboo slips in front of the piano bench and tried to play according to the sound.
At first, his fingers felt a little dry and he couldn't adapt to the tune all of a sudden. But after a few notes, he gradually got used to it. Soft music rolled out from his fingers, a little gentle, and a little sad. Qu Moying had never seen the name of this tune before. It seemed that it was written on bamboo slips, but it didn't seem to be as old as he had imagined.
Someone was passing by outside the bamboo forest and stopped in surprise when he heard the music.
The people following behind him immediately stopped and stood quietly behind him...
In the imperial study, the emperor leaned back in the large nanmu chair, his face pale and haggard, his eyes slightly closed, and he was silent.
There was a sound of footsteps coming in hurriedly. It was Li Quan.
"Your Majesty." Li Quan walked in and waved his hand, and several eunuchs retreated.
"What did he say?" The emperor slowly opened his eyes and looked at Li Quan with some desire.
Li Quan hesitated for a few seconds, and when he saw the emperor's expression did not change, he said tactfully: "Your Majesty, the prince is not feeling well now... He said he would come to see Your Majesty when he was better in a few days. The tiger that day also injured His Royal Highness the King of England, and the wound is very serious."
"Is the injury really... so serious?" The emperor's face became tense. He was only angry that day and didn't expect that the injury would be so serious. He asked anxiously, "Have the imperial doctors checked it? What medicine did they use? What did the imperial doctors say? Is there any hindrance? What kind of temper is this? He just... "
