Rebirth of the concubine's scheming

Chapter 69

At the end of the performance, Jing Shu was obviously not very happy, and returned to her seat without interest. Even the emperor's praise did not show a particularly happy look on her face. She wouldn't know how happy she would be if she paid more attention to her. Why would everyone like Seventh Sister so capricious.

"Seventh sister, don't be too sad, this ninth cousin has always been like this." The fourth princess comforted softly, "I think the third brother's performance is much better than his, if he comes to help you, I don't know what will happen. what happened."

"That's not necessarily the case." The third princess Jinglan said lightly, and her eyes fell on the people opposite, "I've heard people say that the ninth cousin also has people who follow her."

Jing Shu immediately looked up at her, "Who is it!"

Jinglan saw that she was interested, and said casually, "I just heard that it seems that the ninth cousin went to Gu's house more frequently. He has grown up so much, but I have never seen him be so patient with others." Jinglan said Then, she turned her head to look at Jing Shu and said with a smile, "Let me think about it, when Seventh Sister was so clingy to Ninth Cousin, he was very annoyed. .”

"Naturally, I won't interfere in Brother Jiu's marriage, but I won't see my cousin being cheated by a bad woman. Which Gu family?" Jing Shu turned to ask the maid behind her, who said respectfully, "His Royal Highness Seventh Princess , it should be Duke Gu's mansion."

"That's right, there's a second young lady who is famous all over the city, and she's even bolder than the eldest sister." Jinglan covered her mouth and smiled, and the second princess sitting in front suddenly looked back at them and said sternly, " Third sister, I didn't know that you were so interested in these rumors in the city that you dared to build your eldest sister's reputation!"

Jinglan immediately stopped talking, and pursed her mouth uncomfortably. The second princess then looked at Jingshu, her tone softened a little, "Seventh sister, you are also an adult. If you show your face in public like this, your father, queen, and queen will hurt you." You won't blame you, but with so many officials and family members watching, what will they think of our royal princess."

What Jingshu was thinking about at the moment was the eldest sister who was regarded as a taboo by the royal family. When she was born, she enjoyed the glory that they had never had before, but in the end she was cut off and entered the nunnery when she was young.

Jingshu was young at that time, and only knew the general situation. When she was 15 years old, the eldest princess fell in love with a monk. When she came back, she begged her father to marry her. The small temple and the monk were completely burned overnight by a fire. The eldest princess thought it was done by someone sent by her father, so she cut off her hair and became a nun in a rage. After all these years, she never came back Palace once.

If the young lady of the Gu family is even more outrageous than the eldest sister, what will happen? If they are all bad women, the cousin will definitely not be able to detect it if he likes it. A sense of responsibility for her supervision immediately arose in Jingshu's heart. She flirted with the court lady behind her, returning to her senses to see the talents of some ladies from aristocratic families...

This night was particularly long for Yin Huan. When she left the palace and went back, she was already drowsy in the carriage. When she returned to the Gu Mansion, she let Qing Ya and the others wait on her to change and wash her clothes in a daze. He wiped his face, and then fell unconscious on the bed.

In a few days, the Jiang family's imperial decree came down, Jiang Ruyin canonized the crown prince and side concubine, and they will get married next spring.

At the same time, there were two marriage decrees, the royal princess was to be married, and the one chosen by the emperor was the one whom the emperor liked at the autumn banquet.

At the moment, the Gu family is busily hosting a small family banquet for Gu Yixin. Gu Yixin's official appointment paperwork has already come down, and he will enter Dali Temple and report on his appointment in five days.

Gu Yixin was a little drunk, his face was flushed and he sat on the railing of the pavilion. There was a pot of cold sober tea on the table beside him.

When Yin Huan walked in, he was squinting his eyes as if he had fallen asleep. Yin Huan took the clothes from Er Dong and was about to put them on him. Gu Yixin opened his eyes and looked at the sky. The bright moon in the sky didn't know How long has it been rising.

"Is it all over there?"

"After eating, grandma drank some and went back a long time ago. The second brother and the third brother are already drinking, and even the sixth brother drank a lot today. The two sips that the third sister was poured by the second brother have not yet Take it easy." Yin Huan said with a smile, and put the clothes on the stone table, "Brother, everyone is very happy today."

Especially Mrs. Gu, who seemed to have swept away the haze of many days, and happily drank a few glasses. Gu Yixin turned to look at the faint smile on Yin Huan's face, and smiled himself, "Brother, I will definitely let you all Get married in a glorious manner."

Looking at him, Yin Huan felt a sense of how much burden he had to bear on his shoulders. The entire Gu family's glory seemed to rest on his shoulders.

"Go back quickly, it's cold at night." Gu Yixin put his clothes back on her body, sent her out of his yard, and returned to the Bauhinia Courtyard. The Mu family had already sent Siqi over to look at it once, and Yin Huan asked Xi Nuan to go over After saying that, I didn't feel sleepy yet, so I just took a book and leaned against the edge of the bed to read it.

"Miss, you have to go to Nanshan Temple with Madam tomorrow, get some rest early." Er Dong came in and put a basin of hot water under her feet and took off her shoes, Yin Huan put down the book, and another Every year at this time, my mother would go to Nanshan Temple to see the blessing lamps lit for my father.

"Get everything ready, you and Xi Nuan can go with me tomorrow." Yin Huan got on the bed and put the book aside, Er Dong pulled down the curtain in response, the lights went out quickly, Yin Huan returned I can hear the chirping of insects that keep coming into the house in late autumn...

The next morning, they set off by car. Yin Huan took a nap in the carriage. When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they walked up the mountain road. The maple trees on both sides were like a sea of ​​fire, and the road was full of fallen leaves. Every October, Mrs. Mu always comes to this Nanshan Temple to fast for a few days, and sits in the praying lamp room enshrining her father, and stays with her for a few days. Yin Huan will accompany her here every year. place.

Nanshan Temple is so big that Yin Huan has been here several times but has never been there. After eating the fast meal, Mrs. Mu went to the small Buddhist hall, while Yin Huan took Erdong around. The pilgrims who come to Nanshan Temple this season are still There was an endless stream, Yin Huan walked through the peach grove, and looking into the distance, it was a very long staircase, which seemed to be another temple.

"Why don't you see any guests walking there?" Yin Huan stretched out his finger to the temple, no one went up or down such a long staircase, the door seemed to be closed all the time.

Seeing that Er Dong also shook his head and said he didn't know, Yin Huan turned back to the courtyard where he lived, and waited for dinner to get dark before going to the main hall of Nanshan Temple. At this moment, there were not many pilgrims, and the hall was quiet.

Yin Huan took the silver from Er Dong, put it in the merit box, and knelt down in front of the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva on the right side of the main hall.

She came to fulfill her wish. She prayed in front of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva at this time last year. Since the reincarnation of this life has returned to the past and she has not forgotten all the past lives, that is the hope God gave her. Bless her once, so that the past life will never happen again.

Yin Huan didn't feel regretful about the matter of the summer resort. Even though she took the risk of being discovered by others, she still wanted to send Gu Yinshuang to the general's mansion. In the General's Mansion, this second sister will be her wife quietly from now on.

She hasn't got it all back yet.

It wasn't until the bell outside that rang twice that Yin Huan slowly opened her eyes. She looked at the Buddha statue firmly. On the day of revenge, Yin Huan will definitely make a golden body for you Bodhisattva to fulfill your wish.

After leaving the main hall, the sky was completely dark, and the wind on the mountain was cold, Yin Huan led Er Dong to the small courtyard, and just arrived at the path under the stairs, a figure appeared there, looking straight at she.

"Master Su, why are you here?" Yin Huan walked down, he seemed to have been waiting there for a long time, he looked at her with a bit of sullen eyes, and there was a person who looked like his attendant standing not far away, The appearance of the lapel reminded Yin Huan of that person named Axi.

"Where have you been? I've been waiting for you here for a long time." Su Qianmo pulled her to the corner next to him, with his body outside, shielding her from the whirling night in the mountains. wind.

"I went to the main hall to pray, but you haven't said why you are here." Yin Huan was blocked by him in this small space, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

"I...Of course I came to Nanshan Temple to worship the Bodhisattva, and I happened to see your carriage, so I'll come and see you when I have time." Su Qianmo said and glanced to the side, pretending to be calm.

Ah Xi, who was guarding the wind, showed disapproval on his face when he heard that the young master was dishonest. He obviously asked the young master of the Gu family about Miss Gu's whereabouts, and then dragged him to Nanshan Temple. I have never seen the young master believe in any Buddha.

"That's really a coincidence." Yin Huan said cooperatively without saying anything.

"Hey, I'm going back early next month." After a while, Su Qianmo said with a blushing face and thick neck.

"Why don't you leave in the spring, so urgent?"

"When the time comes, the mountains will be covered by heavy snow. I'm afraid that bandits will rob the town, so I have to guard in advance." Su Qianmo looked at Yin Huan's parted lips, and unconsciously remembered the Six Princes Mansion that passed by his cheek that day. He really wanted to hug the person in front of him directly into his arms and experience this warm feeling.

"Hey, you can embroider a purse for me." Su Qianmo swept away the throbbing in his mind, and deliberately covered it up with a rough and unreasonable voice, "It doesn't matter if the embroidery looks ugly, I won't dislike it."

"Why do you ask me for a purse?" Yin Huan asked with a smile, "You can ask your mother to embroider one for you."

"Little one, I accepted your dowry. You should embroider it carefully. When I leave to ask you to take it, don't be embarrassed if the embroidery is not good. I don't dislike it." Su Qianmo suddenly changed his face and said with a playful smile Then, he took two steps back, waved at her, and left with Axi.

Yin Huan was very angry and funny, but Er Dong held his chest and showed fear. Every time Young Master Su appeared in a very special way, "Miss, you have to go back quickly. If someone sees it, what should I say to you?" .”

Yin Huan shook his head, feeling warm in his heart. No matter how hard this person was, he made unreasonable demands in front of him, but he was always very thoughtful and would not let her be exposed to rumors. Of all the strange things I received, none of them ever went wrong.

He didn't show up again the next day and the third day. After Yin Huan accompanied Mu's family to pray for blessings, he went back to the mansion in the afternoon of the third day. Before leaving, Yin Huan went to the master to ask for a peace talisman.
