648, Temple 1
Time passed little by little.
The room is quiet and peaceful.
Someone's heavy breathing could be heard, but sometimes light and sometimes heavy, it didn't look like a sound sleep at all.
Su Lingxiao sat quietly by the bed from the beginning to the end, very patient.
Gu Qianxue, who was pretending to be asleep, wanted to cry without tears, and yelled in her heart—God Su, please go, I'm going to sleep my aunt to death, but with you here, my aunt can't sleep.
Su Lingxiao always knew that Gu Qianxue was still awake, so he got up and left.
Just when Gu Qianxue was about to open her eyes to feel the beauty of sleeping soundly alone in the room, she found that she had turned back again, so she hurriedly closed her eyes hard.
But listening, Su Lingxiao smiled faintly.
"Qianxue, I know you haven't slept, is it insomnia?"
"..." Gu Qianxue really wanted to say, she has a big heart and hardly ever suffers from insomnia, so it is clear that she does not have the conditions to fall asleep now.
"I also often suffer from insomnia." Su Lingxiao said, holding an incense burner in his hand, "This essential oil was given to me by Rong Qiu, and when it is baked with a candle, it will have a soothing aroma. Try it."
Gu Qianxue opened her eyes pitifully, and her eyes were bloodshot, "Thank you Mr. Su, after you light it, go to work, a little sleep, I don't want to waste your precious time in daily affairs."
That's right, if Su Lingxiao stays for a while longer, Gu Qianxue will probably go crazy from sleepiness.
"I'll accompany you... isn't it good?" Su Lingxiao's face froze, with a flash of disappointment.
Gu Qianxue felt like crying, "Okay, okay, very good, come, light the incense burner!"
In this way, the incense was lit.
Gu Qianxue was surprised to find that it was lavender fragrance!
Lying on the bed with eyes closed, I suddenly remembered the scene when I went to the genius doctor Zhou's mansion and saw patches of lavender. Lavender is Zhou Rongqiu's mother's favorite flower, and it was deliberately transplanted. After a few months, things changed, and she was together with Su Lingxiao, what a strange fate.
But she didn't know whether it was because of the smell of lavender or something else, but Gu Qianxue fell into a deep sleep.
What Gu Qianxue didn't expect was that Su Lingxiao had been sitting in the chair sleeping with her, his eyes fixed on her sleeping face.
What was even more unexpected was that Su Lingxiao also fell asleep without knowing whether it was the infection caused by Gu Qianxue's sound sleep or the effect of the lavender fragrance, and curled up on the chair like this.
The most unexpected thing is that Su Lingxiao was injured again! wind! feel! risk! up!
Gu Qianxue felt like ten thousand huskies!
The illness came like a mountain, and this cold and flu knocked Su Lingxiao down again. Gu Qianxue took care of him naturally, and Chu Yan was also very guilty, not to mention these.
After taking care of her for three days and three nights, Su Lingxiao finally woke up, and Gu Qianxue was called into the palace.
I saw Ling An, the Second Emperor's uterus again, in the Ci'an Palace of Concubine Xilan.
Perhaps it was influenced by the mother of Ceylon's concubine Chu Yanguo, or perhaps it was to emphasize that it is different from other concubines. Contrary to the rich Chinese style name of Ci'an Palace, its architecture has an exotic color.
The entire palace is snow-white, with a dome, and there are gold-plated metal auspicious beasts in some key places.
If you have to describe it, there is a feeling of Taj Mahal.
The person who summoned Gu Qianxue today was Concubine Ceylon. It was a beautiful name, it was the recent severe drought in the north. Concubine Ceylon relieved the emperor's worries. She and her daughter-in-law prayed together in the Buddhist hall, praying for God's blessing, good weather, and prosperity well-being.
Gu Qianxue really wanted to complain—with Concubine Xilan's heavy makeup, how could she look like a person who believed in and worshiped Buddha? Furthermore, drought in spring and flood in summer are natural laws, so what does it matter to you to pray to Buddha? If worshiping Buddha is easy to use, first worship yourself as a queen.
All in all, harem women really do everything they can to flaunt their uniqueness.
An independent house in the side room of Ci'an Palace, there is extremely rich sandalwood near it, this is a Buddhist hall.
The Buddhist hall has a good shape, with gilded Buddha statues, Bodhisattvas, and some unnamed gods.
In addition, there are two young nuns.
Today's Concubine Ceylon is dressed in a particularly simple and elegant way, with snow-white clothes and a bun without any hairpin accessories, coupled with her clear outline and black pupils, she looks like a peerless little dragon girl standing far away. .
It has to be said that Concubine Xilan is beautiful, not as ignorant and clear as Zhao Ruolan's beauty of elves, but her beauty is enough to catch the eye.
Gu Qianxue just woke up from the beauty of Concubine Xilan, when she turned her head and saw the second prince who was as beautiful as a male peacock.
Afterwards, she silently lowered her head—it was so easy to time travel, why couldn't she look better
Concubine Xilan didn't call Gu Qianxue to contact her. She gave Gu Qianxue a condescending glance, "Do you know the reason why I called you into the palace?"
Gu Qianxue replied honestly, "I know, I pray to God."
Concubine Xilan sneered and hooked her lips, "It's good to know, why don't you do it?"
"Do?" Gu Qianxue was puzzled.
A nun stepped forward, "Master Qianxue, please follow the poor nun." She said, making a gesture of invitation.
Qianxue was confused, and subconsciously followed the nun.
"Princess, please offer incense first." As she spoke, another nun stepped forward holding three incense sticks in both hands.
Gu Qianxue does not know how to burn incense. She dares to swear that she has never been to a temple in modern times. She only went to Dolomite once in Nanyue country, but left after walking around in the peach blossom forest.
The two nuns were considered polite at first, but seeing Gu Qianxue's stiff posture and jerky expression, they knew that she had never burned incense and worshiped Buddha, and their eyes immediately filled with disgust.
In any case, Gu Qianxue lit the incense under the guidance of the nun, bowed three times, and then inserted the incense and knelt down on the futon.
Afterwards, the two nuns withdrew and walked aside.
Gu Qianxue knelt down in front of the Buddha for a while, but she didn't see the nun's next step to guide her, so she turned around and asked.
It's okay if you don't watch it, a mouthful of old blood almost didn't come out after watching it.
However, not far from the gate, the Concubine Ceylon, dressed in snow-white plain clothes, seemed to be very sincere, sipping tea leisurely, while her handsome male peacock son was eating melon seeds with his legs crossed.
No wonder I just heard a crisp sound, but after a long time it turned out to be melon seeds.
The two nuns nestled aside, chatting quietly.
— Heh, it's been a long time since she made a fuss, and she, an outsider, is the only one doing business seriously.
Where is this Buddha? How is this a blessing? How can this be to win over feelings? It's clearly a slap in the face!
If it was a weak woman who kept her duty, she would have to endure it, but who is Gu Qianxue? Even the queen is not afraid, let alone a Ceylon concubine
Thinking about it, Gu Qianxue stood up.
The sound of the second prince eating melon seeds stopped abruptly, the melon seeds were still in his mouth, and he looked over curiously.
Concubine Xilan was also taken aback for a moment, and put the teacup heavily on the table, "Gu Qianxue, I asked you to come to pray for the country, are you unwilling or dissatisfied?"
Gu Qianxue spread her hands, "It's not unwilling or dissatisfied, but your oral order said to 'accompany' you to pray for blessings, but never said to 'pray for' you, right?"
