Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 3 Staying in the Temple
Chen choked, thinking that her daughter had been ridiculed and rolled her eyes after following her for so many years, her eyes turned red and she was about to shed tears.

Since Qiu Mingyue came to this ancient time, she has been restrained by those Lao Shizi's etiquette and virtue, and the Qiu family is a big family, so there are too many rules, how can there be any freedom in the future.What she said just now just wanted to do whatever she wanted for the last time, but she didn't want to touch the scar on Shen's heart again.Seeing that Mrs. Shen was about to cry again, she hurried over.

"Mother, don't be sad, I will never be like this again." Mother has always raised her as a lady of the family, so that one day she will not be rejected by others when she enters the Qiu family.

Shen Shi was feeling guilty at first, but seeing her daughter come to comfort her instead, she felt even more heartbroken.She held Qiu Mingyue's hand behind her back, her eyes were red.

"Yue'er, mother made you suffer."

Qiu Mingyue felt sour when she heard this, and comforted her: "Mother, don't say that, Yue'er is not bitter." These words came from her heart, her parents left her early in her previous life.It was the old grandfather who single-handedly raised her and gave her all the love.Traveling to ancient times, Shen's love for her made her think of her grandfather who passed away in modern times, and her eyes turned red.Fearing that Mrs. Chen would touch her heart, she hurriedly turned her face away.

Qiu Mingrui is small, but children in ancient times matured precociously, and under Qiu Mingyue's teaching this year, they are much more sensible than ordinary children.Seeing his mother and sister looking sad, he also felt uncomfortable, so he kept silent.

Qiu Mingyue turned around and looked at the corner of the hall where the lush trees were faintly exposed.

Baohua Temple, a royal temple that has stood unabated since the founding of the previous dynasty, has experienced hundreds of years with the wind and rain of the previous dynasty.The ups and downs of history and the interlacing of dynasties, only this Buddhist temple is still standing.Even now, it is still the current royal Buddhist temple.

Qiu Mingyue turned her head and saw her mother's eyes clouded with mist and sorrow spreading. She knew that her unintentional words just touched her mother's heart, so she took her hand and said, "Mother, it's getting late, let's go up the mountain."

Shen knew that her daughter couldn't bear to see her sad, so she deliberately changed the topic, so she nodded.

"Um"

On the top of Baohua Temple, a man is sitting in a wheelchair. The setting sun shines on his handsome eyebrows, making him more dreamy and picturesque.He looked down the mountain indifferently, watched the woman jump out of the carriage without the slightest bit of ladylike style, and listened to her accompanying and composed tone.The evening glow slanted, her profile was as beautiful as a painting, and her eyes were as bright as stars, shining with brilliance.

Standing behind him was a stern man holding a sword. Seeing his concentration, he couldn't help being a little surprised.

"Sir?"

The man lowered his eyes, "Go back."

"Yes" the stern man pushed the wheelchair and left slowly.

Baohua Temple is a famous royal temple, and the Queen Mother also visits it several times a year.On weekdays, there are very few pilgrims staying in Baohua Temple. Firstly, the secular etiquette is strict, and secondly, they are afraid of offending the royal family.Therefore, Qiu Mingyue was very polite to the little novice who was interviewed, and after explaining her intentions, the little novice hesitated, as if she had something hard to say.Fortunately, the abbot was kind and generous, and agreed to let them stay here for one night.However, there are noble people here in Baohua Temple, so they must not walk around at night.

Your Excellency?Qiu Mingyue raised her eyebrows, and an important message flashed across her mind.Today is March NO.20, more than ten years ago...

In the hazy night under the moonlight, the moonlight is scattered, looming, and the scenery under the moon seems to become much more gloomy and ethereal in the shadow of the moon.Under the moon, the earth, mountains, rivers, high-rise buildings, and flat valleys all seem to be covered with a thin layer of veil, and fall asleep under the embrace of the moonlight.

Qiu Mingyue couldn't sleep, so she casually put on a cloak of brocade and pearls, and walked out of the bamboo house alone.The winding stone path leads to the densely forested ravine, pink peach blossoms, red apricot blossoms, and white pear blossoms are all over the mountains and plains, and the long-thawed small river is flowing and buzzing.Stepping on a small bridge made of bamboo, bypassing a steamy stream, immersed in an ancient dream.

Looking at the moon from a distance, there was a faint yellow halo and a cold light penetrating to the bones, it was actually a full moon.But this time is not the Mid-Autumn Festival that belongs to it, and it is no longer illuminated by the lights of thousands of families.Under the extremely deep night, there are still a few dreamlike light blue stars adorning this quiet and distant night. Although they are few, they are extremely bright.

Looking at such a moonlight and such a scene, Qiu Mingyue couldn't help feeling a little sentimental and yearning.After traveling for a year, she tried her best to restrain herself from thinking about everything in that world.Also try to integrate myself into this world.

It was a bit cold in the early spring night, and she couldn't help tightening the cloak around her body.Just now, her mind was wandering, and she didn't realize that she was already far away from the house.Looking at the sky, it is time to go back, otherwise my mother should be worried.

She moved her steps and was about to move forward, but suddenly heard someone moaning softly, as if she was suppressing the pain.She paused slightly, and walked towards the voice curiously.

Through the tree trunks, she saw a small and elegant courtyard, and the voice came from this room.Curiosity tended to move her forward, but she didn't want to, a knife with a cold light stood in front of her.

"Presumptuous, who dares to trespass here?"

Qiu Mingyue frowned, without any fear, she raised her head and looked at the cold-faced guard with vigilant eyes.Just now, because of the darkness of the night, Qiu Mingyue wore a veiled hat again, covering her face.As soon as she raised her head at this moment, she happened to let the guard see her face clearly through a ray of soft moonlight.Seeing that the woman's face was like a peach blossom, her temples were covered with fragrance, her phoenix eyes and vermilion lips, as if she was fat, she was actually a natural beauty with a heavenly beauty, he couldn't help but his eyes trembled, and a look of amazement appeared in his eyes.With such an alluring look, it's no wonder the master lost his mind when he saw it just now.

"The road is long at your feet, why can't I go?" Qiu Mingyue looked at the guard with indifferent eyes, her voice was calm and elegant, and the guard couldn't help but look sideways.

At this moment, a burst of eager footsteps were heard, and then a woman wearing a plum cloud shirt with sun-red dots came over, she was startled when she saw Qiu Mingyue's face, and then said to the guard: "The young master said, Do not harm the innocent."

The cold guard was taken aback again, and his voice softened a bit.

"Girl, my old lady and young master live here. It's late at night and the dew is heavy, so you'd better go back, girl."

Qiu Mingyue frowned even deeper, "Does your old lady have a stubborn illness?" She is not a nosy person, but this time she came over inexplicably.This man's attire is clearly the bodyguard of a wealthy family, and the maid, although not luxuriously dressed, speaks and behaves well, with calm eyebrows, she is not a maid who can be trained by ordinary people.Recalling the fact that the little novice had mentioned that a nobleman lived in Baohua Temple, combined with the information she had, she guessed about the identity of the old lady with eight or nine points, and couldn't help but feel shocked.The hands hidden under the wide sleeves tightened unconsciously. Perhaps, this is an opportunity, an opportunity to change the fate of the three of them, mother and child.
