When the golden pavilion and the green tiles were covered with thick frost and snow, the news of the northwest reached the capital again—Lucheng was smashed by Wei Tang, and most of the lost positions in Qinyang Pass were recaptured.
Although there are no more people in the city and the grain and grass have been burned by the enemy, a large number of troops are still needed to guard it to prevent the enemy from coming back, so Chu Zhenghe and Wei Tang cannot go to support Ye Huaili. The pressure on the city front increased sharply, because the other enemies that had not been completely wiped out in the two cities gathered here.
However, this was also what they expected. The one who broke the city in the end must be the one with the most pressure. After discussion, this burden was handed over to Ye Huaili, so the situation is still within his control so far.
Ye Huaiyang, who was far away in the capital, naturally didn't know their tactical allocation. When she thought that Raocheng's army was almost twice that of Ye Huaili's men, her heart skipped a beat. She hadn't slept well for several nights. She was going to Huguo Temple to pray for Ye Huaili and the soldiers of the three armies. After Chu Jinglan found out, she took time to go with her.
The two have always kept a low profile and did not want to work with teachers, so they didn't inform others, and they went out of the palace with a shadow guard after changing clothes.
Huguo Temple is located on the outskirts of the city, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the incense is flourishing. It is now the end of the year, and there is an endless stream of pilgrims, which is even more lively than going to the market. Of course, Chu Jinglan and Ye Huaiyang didn't have to huddle together with ordinary people. There was already a place for worshipping Buddha for the sole use of the royal family, and the abbot took them there as soon as they got off the carriage.
The temple is deep, and the Sanskrit sounds reverberate. With the misty clouds and smoke slowly scattered in every corner, it is like being in a fairyland.
Ye Huaiyang has been in poor health since she gave birth to Chu Xiang, and has not been out for a long time. Today, she came here to worship the Buddha devoutly, and was enlightened by eminent monks. She only felt that most of her stagnation had disappeared, and her inner anxiety had calmed down a lot. ,gain much.
In the empty and secluded Xuanwu Hall, three golden Buddhas stand on a high platform made of birch, with kindness in their solemnity, and invisibly soothing the impetuous hearts. There were two orange-yellow futons under the incense table. Chu Jinglan knelt beside Ye Huaiyang and watched her kowtow with incense, pray sincerely, and sat quietly for a while before opening his eyes. He asked, "What did you ask the Bodhisattva?"
Ye Huaiyang pursed her lips and smiled, and whispered softly beside his ear, "Please come back safely, Xiang'er will grow up strong."
The expected answer.
"Want to know what I begged for?" Chu Jinglan stared at her, his eyes burning like bright flames.
"Guotai and people's security, the world will be ruled?"
"Your husband can do this, you don't have to ask God to worship Buddha." Chu Jinglan smiled proudly, a little tenderness flashed in the depths of his black eyes, "I just hope that you will no longer be disturbed by illness and spend every day healthy and healthy. "
Ye Huaiyang felt warm in his heart, then leaned his head on his shoulder and said softly, "I will."
For him and Xiang'er, she would take good care of her body no matter what.
Later, when the two came out of the Xuanwu Hall, it was almost noon, and by the way, they ate fast food in Huguo Temple, such as jade bitter gourd, ginger avocado and sand tea sword shoots. The taste was very good, even the food was never good. The heartbroken Chu Jinglan also ate a lot and seemed quite satisfied.
Ye Huaiyang was a little absent-minded. After drinking two sips of a bowl of jade pearl soup, he didn't move. He unconsciously stirred the porcelain spoon. It was obvious that his mind was no longer here. Seeing this, Chu Jinglan put down the silver chopstick. He turned to hug her waist and asked in a warm voice, "Why, no appetite?"
"No..." Ye Huaiyang shook his head, with a hint of worry in his eyes, "Xiang'er has been teething recently, so uncomfortable that she doesn't want to eat anything. I'm not here today, and I don't know if he has eaten well..."
Chu Jinglan said indifferently: "There are so many people in the palace guarding him, if they can't coax him well, I don't think they need to stay in the Taiji Palace, it's rare to come out to relax, so don't think too much about it. ."
"Are you really your father?" Ye Huaiyang glared at him, full of anger, "How old is he, how many times have you beaten him this month? You should leave a mark on your butt!"
"Bullshit, I'm not trying."
Ye Huaiyang laughed angrily at the appearance of his righteous words: "If you're really trying hard, you can just beat me up, let's see who of our mothers can hold your iron sand palm!"
Chu Jinglan couldn't see her protecting Chu Xiang the most, so she snorted coldly: "Then you tell me when I beat you wrong? I took a shower and splashed around in the pool, splashing you with water, making you sick several times. God, shouldn't this be beaten? Spit on that trade map you drew, shouldn't be beating? Crawled into the room to prevent us from making out, shouldn't be beating?"
Hearing the last one, Ye Huaiyang blushed like a boiled shrimp, but he beat his chest and said angrily, "It's you who got excited temporarily, the door is not locked and the tent is not pulled, how can you blame him! "
"Don't blame him for who? The kid is big, messing around everywhere, and when there is no time to rest, you didn't realize that the stupid bear in the backyard would hide when he saw him? Flip it!"
Ye Huaiyang couldn't straighten his back with laughter.
"Xiang'er is a little naughty, but how can you say it so exaggeratedly?"
Chu Jinglan glared at her coolly, and teased: "You know he is naughty and mischievous, and his temper is all yours. It seems that you have been tossing the whole family up and down a lot in the past."
"You look like you all over, so don't look like me? Anyway, it's the flesh that fell out of my stomach. You dislike it so much, why don't you just find another life!"
Unknowingly, someone started to act like a rogue like his son, with the same demeanor, which made Chu Jinglan laugh and cry, but his son could beat his wife, but he couldn't, so he could only resort to roundabout tactics.
"How can I despise you when you were born?"
Ye Huaiyang snorted and made it clear that she didn't believe it.
"God and Buddha are in front, how could I lie to you?" Chu Jinglan put her arms around her and got up, and changed the subject as he walked, "I heard that the scenery of the back mountain is good, I just finished my meal and went for a walk, and I will return to the palace in a while. , is this okay?"
"All right."
She was bored after staying in the palace all day. She finally came out. It was a place where the air was fresh and the scenery was wonderful. It was not bad to do some activities. You must know that the two of them have not been so leisurely for a long time. He was busy with political affairs, and she With children, every time you spend alone is precious.
The two walked slowly along the cobblestone path, just like ordinary couples, occasionally whispering close to each other, and occasionally giving out hearty laughter. Because it was inconvenient to go out today, Ye Huaiyang did not wear any orthodontic equipment, and Chu Jinglan kept her hand behind her waist. She never let go of the little novice monks and pilgrims who passed by.
When I came to the back mountain, the mist had not yet dissipated, the green pines and cypresses were densely woven, the uniquely shaped pavilion was located in it, and there was a chain bridge connected to the opposite mountain, swaying, almost dizzy at a glance.
Ye Huaiyang was very curious, and was about to pull Chu Jinglan over there, when he suddenly heard the intermittent choking sound, and looked up. It turned out that there was a girl behind the pavilion. Did not see. As an escort, Tang Qingfeng was always alert, and was about to go to chase people, but was stopped by Ye Huaiyang.
"Don't disturb others, let's go."
After she finished speaking, she took Chu Jinglan and turned to go back. Unexpectedly, the crying stopped suddenly, the girl stuck her head out from behind the column, her eyes lit up when she saw them, she rolled up her skirt and ran over with small steps. .
She is an out-and-out beauty, with a mouth, her voice is even more crisp to the bones.
"Master, Madam, I got lost by accident. If you are going to the front yard, can you take me for a ride? My father and brother are both there, and I will definitely thank you two!"
Ye Huaiyang's eyebrows shrugged slightly, so fast that no one could notice it, but she didn't reject her, she just replied lightly, "Then just follow."
This is not a polite thing to say, but the girl was surprisingly happy, she thanked her and followed behind. Who would have thought that she was suddenly tripped by a stone under her feet before taking two steps, and her whole body suddenly rushed towards Chu Jinglan! He noticed the change in the wind, and quickly hugged Ye Huaiyang and flicked aside. The girl rubbed against the corner of his clothes and fell to the ground. She looked surprised for a moment, and Ye Huaiyang could see it clearly.
It wasn't a coincidence.
She held onto her waist with a hint of impatience on her face. Before she could ask Tang Qingfeng to clean up the person, Chu Jinglan made an unexpected move - he let go of his hand and took the initiative to help the girl.
"Sorry, I habitually avoided it, are you all right?"
She shook her head in tears, indicating that she was fine, but she gasped as she took a step forward, as if she had stabbed her foot. Seeing this, Chu Jinglan spoke up again.
"It seems that you can't walk anymore, why don't you tell me where your father and brother are, and I'll let them tell them to pick you up."
Stupid, simply acting too bluntly!
Ye Huaiyang wanted to push Chu Jinglan away to play it herself, but unfortunately, she couldn't play because of the role restrictions, so she had to frown and watch the scene. Fortunately, the girl had been caught by Chu Jinglan's handsome Zhang Junmei. Chu's face was fascinated, and her head completely turned into an embroidered pillow.
"Thank you sir, my father and brother are in the third Buddhist hall in Xiyuan, and their surname is Ouyang."
There are not many families with compound surnames in Wangdu, and Ye Huaiyang is still a little impressed by the word Ouyang. Looking at Chu Jinglan again, there is a chill on his face, obviously there are a few.
How dare a small family of this level reach out to his harem? It's just daring!
Chu Jinglan suddenly shook off her hand, and at the same time instructed in a cold voice, "Throw people to Xiyuan."
Tang Qingfeng knew that he asked himself to confirm, so he picked up the stunned chicken and left.
Ye Huaiyang laughed out loud after everyone walked away, looking at Chu Jinglan with a playful look, "So in their eyes, His Majesty likes this type of woman..."
Chu Jinglan pulled her into her arms and kissed her, then pulled out her silk handkerchief and wiped her hands, as if to wipe off the greasy and sticky disgusting touch. .
"I have nothing else in my life, I just have good eyesight. When I return to the palace, let them have a good experience."
