"What Ben Gong did was just a matter of his own accord, what's there to be moved by?" The queen rubbed her sore waist. If it wasn't for the crowd of people here, she would even want to pinch the pain. He lost his own foot, "It's just that the road to Wanfo Temple is too difficult. Fortunately, Uncle Zhongyi told Ben Gong in advance, but Ben Gong refused to listen to his advice, and the guard broke his leg and did not say anything. Stop here for a while, you can't go up and down."
The Queen's tone was quite helpless and regretful.
Grandma Sun couldn't help holding the Queen's arm and persuaded: "Niangniang, don't do this, you have done your best to pray for blessings. It's strange that the place where Wanfo Temple was built is too dangerous. How can you go to such a dangerous place? Since you have done your best, don't force it. Otherwise, if the empress really does something wrong, how can the servant's heart be at ease?"
The Queen has always been sympathetic to her servants, and Mammy Sun knew that when she said that, with the Queen's usual temperament, she would definitely take into account the feelings of the servants.
She is precious as a queen. If something really happened under the eyes of these people, let alone a major incident, even if they sprained their feet, they would be punished when they go back.
But today, Grandma Sun misestimated the Queen's mind.
"Bengong has already come here. It's a long way to go. As long as you walk through the rest of the road, you can reach the Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas. I can't give up here."
The queen raised her head and looked at the road at the end of the gentle slope that was not a road at all.
The following mountain roads are almost always those kind of steep rock walls. In some places, there are raised stones to settle on, and in some places, wooden boards have been erected in some way. It's just that it's been a long time, and those wooden boards have many traces of rot, as if stepping on them will break with a click, and people will fall off.
The road is steep and makes people feel that even if you climb up, you can't get down.
"Niangniang, this is really too dangerous." Grandma Sun said bitterly, "The slaves want to serve the goddess, but don't talk about you, even the slaves can't climb up. There is no one around us, if the little servants I haven't been sent down the mountain, so I can still carry the empress to climb up. But the slaves can't trust the physical strength of the little servants and the ones behind them. If they bump into a star, is that just a joke?"
The queen lowered her eyes and listened to Sun Momo's words. Although she knew that what she said was quite reasonable, she was extremely unconvinced in her heart.
Everyone has already come, but they have to give up halfway here. On the other hand, Qin Yining, her hand is held by Pang Xiao, and Pang Xiao seems to plan to walk up with Qin Yining all the time.
Qin Yining can walk up, but can't she
"No, this palace's prayer for the rain to stop has achieved initial results. Today, the floods in the south are still serious, but not all towns are as lucky as those near Huichuan County. Since this palace knows that praying for blessings is useful, where I pass Wanfo Temple, it is because of The reason for retreating when the road is difficult?"
"But Niangniang, there is no suitable person around us to carry you up. Look, why don't we go down the mountain now, go down to rest for a while, wait for the servants to arrange the people properly, and then send you up the mountain in a few days, what do you think? ?"
The Empress knew that what Sun Momo said was the safest way.
But at this moment, looking at Qin Yining being held by Pang Xiao's hand, looking at Qin Yining's clean dress and the embarrassment on her body, the empress's sourness and unwillingness became more and more difficult to restrain.
She is the queen, but in front of a court lady, she couldn't keep up. Qin Shi was able to climb such a steep mountain because her man cared about her and was always by her side. But even if she is already the most honorable woman in the world, she can only envy others in this matter.
How can she be reconciled
Looking up at the steep mountain road that could be called a cliff again, the queen shook her head and said, "Bengong must climb the mountain today." Looking back at Pang Xiao, "I believe that there is an escort by the prince, and this palace should be fine."
"Niangniang! You..."
"Don't talk again."
The queen's voice firmly interrupted the continued persuasion of Sun mama, and then she smiled again and said, "With Prince Zhongshun here, what are you afraid of?"
Mammy Sun looked at the mountain road, and then at the prince and princess who were holding hands and standing by without saying a word, and couldn't help but feel helpless.
It was common for Prince Zhongshun to take the princess up the mountain, pulling and pulling, even hugging and hugging. The family is a couple. But what if the queen wants to let Prince Zhongshun take care of her
The road is very steep, and with the queen's pampered body, I am afraid that she will retreat tired and frightened soon after walking. Could it be that the queen still intends to let Pang Xiao also treat her in the same way that she planned to help Qin Yining
The queen seemed to be able to see through what Mammy Sun was thinking at a glance, and couldn't help but chuckle.
"It's okay, you don't have to worry. To put it mildly, in Ben Gong's eyes, Prince Zhongshun is like a younger brother. How old was he when he swore homage to the Sage? It’s also an uncle and sister-in-law relationship. It’s just climbing, what’s wrong with going up?”
Seeing that the queen's mind was made up, the corners of Sun's lips twitched helplessly. She didn't know what to say to make the queen give up today's trip.
At this time, the queen had already walked up to Pang Xiao, watching Pang Xiao's visit and pinching Qin Yining's fingers like no one else.
The sourness and jealousy seemed to fill her mouth again, and the queen smiled as usual, "Can Prince Zhongshun help this palace?"
Pang Xiao carefully observed his words and expressions, and seeing that the Queen's demeanor was not fake, he had already put aside the turbulent scenes of these days for now.
Pang Xiao did not immediately agree to come down, nor did he ask how many maids he must have around him, and what to eat every day. "
Because of the steep mountain road, ordinary palace servants and maids could not send the queen to the top of the mountain.
If one is not careful, it may even hurt the lives of innocent people.
Seeing Pang Xiao hesitating, the queen felt so mixed in her heart. Pang Xiao can take Qin Yining with him, and he is willing to carry it on his back, but she is different. Although she is a queen, in Pang Xiao's eyes, Qin Yining is the most important.
Such a strong drop made the queen bite her lower lip involuntarily.
Seeing the Queen's expression like this, Pang Xiao lowered his eyes and pondered. After a while, he said helplessly: "Niangniang, Weichen has guards by his side, why not let the guards escort Niangniang?"
The queen's face changed when she heard the words, and after a moment she said with a sullen face: "Do you want those guards to come to see this palace? Who are they, what are their identities? Are they loyal to Da Zhou? What? You can rest assured that this palace will be handed over to others? And the most important point, they are not worthy of touching this palace at all. Is this palace going to watch you go up the mountain, so I can only wait at the foot of the mountain?"
