After leaving Daojing Nunnery, they walked for thirty miles and came to Qingshui Temple.
The carriage stopped, and the coachman said respectfully outside, "Your Highness, we have arrived at Qingshui Temple."
Yunchi gave a "hmm", put down the scroll, and said to Huayan, "The vegetarian food at Qingshui Temple is good. You haven't eaten anything from yesterday evening to this morning, you must be empty. We have eaten the vegetarian meal at Qingshui Temple before returning to Beijing." .”
Huayan was indeed hungry, pushed away the quilt, sat up, and nodded.
The abbot of Qingshui Temple was waiting in front of the mountain gate. Seeing Yunchi and Huayan got off the carriage, he quickly bowed his hands to salute the two, and said, "Amitabha, Master Deyuan calculated that there are distinguished guests coming to the mountain gate today, so he specially ordered the poor monk to come out. Greeting each other, I didn't expect that it was His Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess Concubine who came here, but I have lost my way to greet you, I hope His Highness will forgive me."
Yun Chi smiled gently, "Master Deyuan is worthy of being an eminent Buddhist monk. I passed by Qingshui Temple, and I came here on a temporary basis to have a fast meal before returning to Beijing, but the master figured it out. What a clever plan."
The host hurriedly said, "Uncle Deyuan has prepared the meal and is waiting in the Jingxin Zhai. Your Highness the Crown Prince please, and the Crown Princess please."
Yun Chi nodded with a smile, glanced at Hua Yan, and followed the host into Qingshui Temple.
Huayan came to Qingshui Temple a few days ago, and stayed here for three days. On the first day, she went to the Cangjing Pavilion, on the second day, she played chess with Deyuan, and on the third day, she took away a marriage lottery. Therefore, She is no stranger to Kiyomizu Temple, and she has even watched every plant and tree in the temple.
After bypassing several Buddhist temples, we came to the Jingxinzhai where Master Deyuan lived. Before we got close, we could smell the aroma of food wafting from the house.
Huayan sniffed, thinking that if she could cook vegetarian dishes with excellent aroma and flavor, the chef of Kiyomizu Temple could be regarded as the best chef in the world. It's just a pity that such a good cooking skill can only be found in Qingshui Temple, and the monks don't return to vulgarity. People outside want to have a meal, so they can only come here to burn incense and worship Buddha to add sesame oil and money.
The host personally opened the curtain and invited Yun Chi and Hua Yan inside.
As soon as she stepped into the threshold, besides the smell of the food and the smell of fireworks on Deyuan's body, Huayan seemed to smell a faint scent of washing agarwood. She raised her eyebrows, and it was obvious that there was not only Deyuan in the room, but also someone else.
Yun Chi paused, glanced at the room, and said with a smile in a warm voice, "It's really a coincidence, it turns out that Shuli is also here with the master."
An Shuli, the son of Anyang Prince's Mansion, who was tied to Huayan's name more than a year ago and had a good time because of personal affairs, was also there, and Huayan thought it was a coincidence.
Deyuan's old and resonant voice laughed loudly, "Mr. An came the day before yesterday, and was going to leave this morning. It was the old man who said that there were distinguished guests going up the mountain, so he waited a little longer."
An Shuli's gentle voice like bamboo rhyme took over the words, with a smile warmed by the spring breeze, and what he said was the kindness, courtesy and demeanor of the children of the family, "Shuli thought that the person who came today must be someone I know from the past , so there is a class, I didn't expect it to be His Royal Highness, I am really lucky."
Yun Chi stretched out his hand backwards, grasped Huayan's hand precisely, and led her into the room slowly, while smiling lightly, "If it wasn't for the fact that I was passing by here, I brought the princess here to taste the vegetarian food at Kiyomizu Temple, Didn't you almost miss Shuli? You know, even this palace wants to see you, it is as difficult as heaven, today is indeed lucky."
Hua Yan was a step behind, but now she was pulled by Yun Chi, and she followed him into the room. At a glance, she saw De Yuan in the room, wearing a monk's robe, a bone-shaped, thin old man with piercing eyes, and De Yuan, who was standing tall and dressed in a moon suit. A young man in a white brocade robe, with an elegant and elegant appearance, his brows and eyebrows are as exquisite as a craftsman's handwriting.
An Shuli has been rumored with him for a long time, and this is actually the first time she has seen him
Deyuan also got up to salute Yun Chi, Yun Chi returned the salute, and accepted An Shuli's salute at the same time.
Hua Yan didn't stick to these etiquette, so she stood beside Yun Chi, looking at An Shuli with a smile.
She has long wanted to meet this Young Master Shuli from Prince Anyang's Mansion. Last year, she used him to get the Queen Mother to remove her name from the roster and dragged him into the water. With a gentle temperament, she will not seriously care about her and cause trouble, so she uses it without any scruples. But unexpectedly, the royal painter bound the roster into a book. Even if the queen mother heard about the affair, she couldn't bear to exclude her from destroying the roster. On the contrary, Yun Chi really picked her up casually. There was nothing she could do, and she made use of him in vain.
Seeing him now, she looked at him, feeling half apologetic in her heart,
Because as early as a year ago, after the concubine selection turmoil, the patriarch of the Hua family personally came to the door and gave a century-old ginseng, which he accepted with a smile.
She took advantage of his reputation, and in the end the Hua family also apologized, and the money and goods were settled, and the matter was over.
After An Shuli's meeting with Yun Chi, he met Huayan Xiaoyinyin's unscrupulous eyes that sized him up and down. He was startled, thinking of what happened last year, he couldn't help showing a little smile, and bowed his hands to her. , "Prince Princess looks alluring, Shuli is lucky to meet you today, so be polite"
In a word, in front of Prince Yunchi, the name of that lively love affair that was widely spread was justified.
Hua Yan chuckled, and spit out a sentence inexplicably, "Mr. Shuli is so cruel. Last year, you and I met for the first time. We were on the wall, on the horse, and the red apricot branches were so intoxicated by the spring, the willow branches, at dusk. Afterwards, enjoy the moon, sip tea, and talk with each other, it's a snowy moon, and now the young master seems to have forgotten things, and he has completely forgotten about me."
As soon as these words came out, An Shuli was astonished.
Huayan's eyes rolled around, and she gave him a resentful look, and she sighed, "Even if I was selected by the prince as a concubine later by accident, I still miss the past, and always feel sad for the moon, always thinking of me, the prince. The title of concubine has not really entered the royal family, and there are still some chances with the son. I can't imagine that such an outstanding person as the son, but sticks to etiquette, succumbs to the imperial power and wealth, is so cruel and heartless, that he will not even fight for a fight , really broke my heart."
An Shuli's astonishment had turned into astonishment.
Deyuan looked at Huayan, then at An Shuli, and secretly said "Amitabha".
After Yun Chi stepped into the threshold and met An Shuli, he knew that today's fast meal was not good, but he never expected that Huayan would say such words after seeing An Shuli . He looked at An Shuli's astonished face, his blood welled up for a moment, he couldn't help stretching out his hand, and patted Huayan's head heavily, and said in a warm and cool voice, "Yan'er, you've been naughty again!" You can't make jokes about Li, carefully, Anyang Princess is the only one who asks the East Palace."
Huayan felt a pain in her head, raised her eyes, and saw the warning in Yunchi's eyes. She remembered the rumors about Princess Anyang, and there was a huge difference between the son she gave birth to and the son she gave birth to. It is said that the current Holy Majesty Both the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother were courteous, she shook her body, and the dead pig was not afraid of the boiling water and said, "Your Highness, what I said is the truth, even if Princess Anyang is here, I dare to say that even if she doesn't go to the East Palace , when I meet one day, I will also mention it to her, she is not the only one who asks questions, but I also want to only ask her."
Yun Chi was laughed angrily, "Oh, what are you asking about?"
Huayan spread her hands and glanced at An Shuli, "Isn't it obvious? Your Highness is neither deaf nor blind. The matter between me and Mr. Shuli is not something that can be justified with a joke. I want to ask Princess Anyang, how is it?" He taught a son who was rebellious and abandoned at the end."
Yun Chi's face was furious, and he tightened his grip on her wrist, and said in a low voice, "You dare to say anything!"
Huayan's wrist hurt, she shook him shyly, and wailed shamelessly, "Your Highness, you are hurting me. You are His Royal Highness, you can't close your eyes and listen to the truth just because you don't want to hear it."
Yun Chi's eyebrows twitched, and his heart was full of blood. He stared at her for a while, angry and helpless.
An Shuli recovered from his astonishment, and saw the turbulent relationship between the two of them. He raised his hand to cover his lips and coughed softly. He collected himself, sighed in his heart, and showed a helpless look.
A year ago, when there were rumors that he had an affair with the youngest daughter of the Hua family in Lin'an overnight, he ordered someone to investigate immediately. from.
At that time, it happened that one of the offshoots of Anyang Prince's Mansion was in Lin'an and had visited Hua's family. He thought that it might be because of him that the rumors were distorted and dirty water was poured on him in the end. What is clear is self-cleaning, and what is turbid is turbid. So, he ignored it and left it aside.
Later, when the crown prince chose the concubine, he chose the youngest daughter of the Hua family in Lin'an, and the world was in an uproar.
Afterwards, the patriarch of the Lin'an Hua family personally visited him and gave him a hundred-year-old ginseng. Get over that.
It was only later that he found out that while the prince was dealing with court affairs, he was also busy dealing with all kinds of troubles found by Miss Hua.
It was even more unthinkable today, she made such a show in front of Yun Chi, and he suddenly realized that whether to pick it up or not, it was a hot potato, aimed specifically at An Shuli, him.
