Good luck and marriage: marrying the governor of Dongchang

Chapter 284
Last night, there was a light snowfall in Liangjing City. When they got up early in the morning, the servants of the mansion went to each courtyard early to wipe off the snow water from the flowers and trees in the courtyard, so as not to damage the flowers due to the snow water.

Shen Qingli heard a slight movement in the courtyard, and opened her eyes with a little drowsiness in her eyes. Although it was cold outside, the room was very warm. The brocade quilt covering her body was carefully tucked in. Let in a breath of wind.

She was about to get up from the bed when Lu Huaiqi had already come in from the outside. Hearing his movement, Shen Qingli looked up and saw that he was fully dressed, in a black bamboo-colored cotton robe, with a tall and handsome figure, and when he walked towards her, he raised his eyebrows. With a smile on her face, there were stars in her ink-like eyes, fascinated by her eyes.

Lu Huai got up and walked to the bed, and helped her up, "I woke up now, why don't you sleep more."

He heard from Mrs. Zhu that most pregnant women were drowsy, so after waking up early in the morning, he didn't wake her up, wanting her to rest for a while.

Shen Qingli shook her head and smiled, "It's almost three poles in the sun, don't get up, it's not good for the child to be so lazy." Just as she was about to get out of bed, she saw that her satin shoes by the bed were gone. Just when she was wondering, Lu Huai got up and said, "Wait a minute, I put the shoes next to the stove to warm up for a while after I got up, it should be ready by now, bring them here for you."

As he said that, he got up and took her pair of satin shoes from the fireplace over there. She looked at him in surprise, never thinking that he would be so careful.

"It's a bit chilly in the winter morning, and you won't catch cold if you put on your shoes to warm them up." Lu Huaiqi explained, while naturally putting Shen Qingli's feet on his lap, helping her put on her shoes and socks.

Shen Qingli blushed, feeling at a loss for his meticulous care, and hurriedly pulled her leg back, but Lu Huaiqi refused. It should be after putting on her shoes and socks, watching his blushing wife come together He stepped forward and said with a smile, "We've been married for so long, why does Ali still blush so easily."

Shen Qingli thought to himself, I don't know who it is, they have been married for so long, but they are still so unscrupulous, they always like to tease her like this, and they like to make fun of themselves after they are done.

After washing, Shen Qingli went to the dressing table and was about to let Ran Mo come in to help her comb her hair, but Lu Huaiqi stood behind her, "Don't call me Ran Mo, I told you yesterday that all your matters this morning will be handled by me." The husband will do the work himself."

She looked at him in surprise, only to feel that he was teasing herself again, but her eyes touched the seriousness in his eyes, and she couldn't help but feel confused, and lowered her eyes.

Seeing her lowered eyes, he took the sandalwood comb from the dressing table, raised his hand to lift up her black hair, and looked at the black hair that was a little drier than before, his eyes darkened, this must be the girl in prison. In the final analysis, it was all because of the harm caused to her by his scheme of feigning death.

The hand clinging to the wooden comb tightened slightly. When she was in a trance, Shen Qingli looked back at him, saw that his expression was different, and asked, "What's wrong?"

He shook his head and smiled, and began to comb her hair with a wooden comb. Because he was afraid of hurting her, he moved very slowly. Shen Qingli couldn't help laughing secretly. It seemed that he had never combed a woman's hair before. When, even at noon, she might not be able to comb her hair well.

"Let's ask Ran Mo to come in..." Seeing the man's serious expression towards her long hair, she finally couldn't help but fell asleep.

Lu Huaiqi was very persistent, and finally lost a very simple hairstyle, which is considered a hairstyle for now.A head of black hair was tied in a bun at the back of the head, and a hosta was inserted, and it was considered combed.

Shen Qingli looked at the indescribable hairstyle on his head, and secretly persuaded himself, this man has always been dealing with important military and political affairs in the court, how can he be good at these aspects, it is really good to be able to do this.

Lu Huaiqi looked at her unspeakable expression but had to comfort himself, secretly felt funny, and didn't hurt her, looked at her swollen belly, the child was almost eight months old, and life was really hasty, he still It was too late to be by her side, watching the child grow up in her womb together with her, the child was about to be born, speaking of it as a father, he was not competent.

Under Shen Qingli's unexpected eyes, he suddenly bent down and listened to her swollen belly. Through the thick cloth, he listened intently to the child's movements. But it is soft.

With a low cry, she covered her mouth and smiled lightly. Seeing his surprised look, she smiled and said, "The child kicked me."

Lu Huai asked in surprise, "It will be like this even before it was born?" He was secretly surprised, seeing her nodding, he listened again, then straightened up and smiled, "It seems like a child who loves to move."

Shen Qingli thought about the days in prison a few months ago, because her child also suffered a lot with her, and couldn't help but feel guilty and blamed herself. She remembered that a golden Buddha statue was recently built in the Foyin Temple in the south of the city. The incense was at its peak, she looked at Lu Huaiqi and suggested, "Are you busy today?"

Lu Huai got up and brushed back the hair that fell from his sideburns for her, then shook his head and said, "No, I just came back from Beiqi, and there is nothing important for me to take care of, even if there is, I will accompany you first."

Hearing what he said, Shen Qingli was afraid that she would delay his court affairs, "If you have something to deal with, you can go first, no need..." Lu Huaiqi supported her shoulders, looked directly at her and said, "It's been a while since I saw you You, nothing is more important to me now than you."

Shen Qingli's heart throbbed with his focused eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "Actually, I want us to go to the temple to burn incense together today and pray for our children."

Lu Huaiqi immediately agreed, and he had exactly the same intention.

Foyin Temple is far away in the outskirts of the south of the city. It took them an hour and a half to travel slowly in a carriage. When they arrived there, the temple was full of people who came to offer incense. The temple really is very popular.

After Lu Huaiqi helped Shen Qingli get off the carriage, the two entered the temple, while Zhang Li stood beside the carriage and waited.

There were many people in the temple. In order not to attract attention and cause trouble, Lu Huaiqi deliberately wore a black gauze hat before going out, and Shen Qingli also put on a cloak to cover most of his face.

After burning incense in the monastery, he went into the Daxiong Hall to worship Buddha and pray for blessings. Shen Qingli knelt on the futon and looked up at the golden Buddha statue above. A piece of peace and clarity, closed eyes and kowtowed, silently recited in the heart.

"Shen Qingli, a believer, salutes sincerely. May my Buddha's mercy bless my child in my womb and my husband next to me to have a safe and smooth life. May my mother be safe and happy for the rest of her life. May I be safe and happy with them." After reading, she stood up and put her hands together. Putting palms together and silently saying "Amitabha", Lu Huaiqi beside him opened his eyes and stood up, stretching out his hand towards her.

She passed her hand over and let him help her up. Both of them knew what the other was thinking, looked at each other and smiled and left the hall together.

After they went out, a person came out from the other side of the hall. The man was dressed in rich and noble clothes, with a handsome face, but there was some coldness in his eyes. It was Luo Nan.

Staring at the two people in the monastery, his cold eyes entangled their backs like vines with thorns.

After looking at it for a long time, he looked away, but a strange smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, that smile made him look extremely sinister.

This Foyin Temple was built on the mountainside, and a courtyard was built on the back mountain for pilgrims to play and enjoy the scenery in the mountains.

Lu Huaiqi and Shen Qingli were about to go out of the temple gate, but saw an abbot from the temple coming. The old abbot had kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and he looked very kind. He folded his hands together, "Amitabha, two benefactors, today The temple has prepared fragrant tea with dried fruits and delicious fast food to entertain the benefactors who come to offer incense, why don't you two stop here for a while, how about going down the mountain after eating fast food in the temple?"

Lu Huaiqi glanced at Shen Qingli, feeling a little wary in his heart, not because he wanted to doubt the old abbot's good intentions, but because Shen Qingli was pregnant with a child, and he didn't want to take even the slightest risk. Just as he was thinking of refusing, there was a crisp and immature voice. A child's voice sounded, "Abbot, come quickly and take a look, Huiqing is stealing some dried fruit for pilgrims again, so please take care of him!"

Shen Qingli looked over following the voice, and saw a young monk who was only eight or nine years old frowning and running towards them, panting because of running and talking, with two blushes on his cheeks, His white and tender little face looked very cute.

As soon as Shen Qingli saw the little monk, he felt good in his heart. The little monk also saw them when he was talking, and his round black eyes lit up, and he came over and said, "I have seen two benefactors, and the benefactor is also here to have a fast meal. Yes? The vegetarian food in our monastery is very famous, would you like to try it with me?" He grinned, and there were two inconspicuous dimples on his meaty face, which was very pleasing to the eye .

Shen Qingli was moved by the child, so she wanted to follow her. Lu Huaiqi saw that she liked the little monk, and although she felt a little helpless, she nodded. After all, if she wanted to go, then he would let her go. Being around her will not put her in any danger.

The back of the monastery is really lively. The pilgrims who come to offer incense all come to eat dried fruits, sit together in twos and threes, drink tea and chat.

After Shen Qingli sat down, the little monk hurriedly said, "The benefactor will wait for a while, and I'll go get refreshments and vegetarian dishes."

Not long after, the little monk brought the gluttonous Hui Qing he mentioned earlier to serve the vegetarian food. Shen Qingli tasted some with his chopsticks, and it was really light and delicious, with a lingering fragrance on his teeth and cheeks.

Seeing the expression on Shen Qingli's face, the little monk asked expectantly, "How about it, female benefactor, does the vegetarian food in our monastery meet your wishes?"

Naturally, Shen Qingli did not hesitate to praise, after the little monk got the compliment, he burst into laughter, seeing the smile of the little monk, Shen Qingli was in a daze for a moment, remembering that she had seen a child smile like that in front of her.

After carefully identifying the appearance of the child in her memory, she was shocked to find that the child was actually the current little emperor.
