Xu time has passed, the night is deep and dew heavy, and there is no one on the mountain, except for the occasional crow's neighing.

The Huguo Temple was empty, without the bustle and bustle of the day, except for the monks doing evening classes, there were only guards waiting in battle.

The princess stayed in the lotus hall for most of the day, praying and copying scriptures for the Empress Dowager, and never came out once.

During this period, Qin Shuihuai sent several guards in to investigate the situation. The guards came back and reported that they saw a person lying on the futon through the screen, revealing a bright yellow sea green hem.

Isn't the princess wearing a white dress today?

Zhu Quan explained that since the princess was praying for the health of the Empress Dowager, she should naturally wear the sea blue that the monks wore when they worshiped the Buddha to show reverence and respect.On the way of worshiping the Buddha, you keep your mouth shut and meditate, and you can't speak, in case the Bodhisattva thinks that his heart is not sincere, so he can't answer.

Several people believed it.

The main reason is that the people present all believed that the arrangement was strict, the guards were strict, the princess was delicate and frail, she had never been out of the palace, and it was impossible to fly out.No one expected that Nanny Chen would cooperate with Zhu Quan Liwai, and Rong JIan would dare to sneak down the mountain like this.

But now it is Xu time and it is getting late. Before leaving, the Empress Dowager meant that it was rare for the princess to come to the Huguo Temple to show her filial piety. Regardless of the time, just come back before the door opens the next day, and don't really spend the night outside.But the people working under them naturally think differently. There are no stars and no moon today. If the night is too dark and the road is not easy to walk, it is better to go back early to be safe.

Jin Yiwei Tongzhi, Hujing Xiaowei, and Du Yuhou gathered outside the Lotus Hall and looked at each other. There was no words, and Zhang Sanchuan decided to speak first.

He politely knocked on the door a few times, Zhu Quan really pushed the door and came out.Although Zhu Quan is young, he is the master of Huguo Temple. Zhang Sanchuan said with a smile: "It's already late at night, and we have to walk for more than an hour on the road. Can the master tell His Highness that we should leave for the palace?"

Zhu Quan lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes, clasping his hands together: "It's still early. Your Highness hasn't finished reciting the Diamond Sutra, so I'm afraid it's not right."

Zhang Sanchuan's face changed slightly.He was willing to be the first to speak, because he had a bond with the long princess. Considering Rong Jian's body, in such a cold day, after a hard day of worshiping the Buddha, he would not be sick again, so it is better to go back early if he can leave early.

But when Zhu Quan said this, he was not easy to answer, so the two of them froze in place.

Qin Shuihuai who was waiting on the side became even more impatient.The task of escorting the princess sounds easy, but in fact it is very hot. Don't be careless. I am afraid that something unexpected will happen. At that time, it will not only be blamed by the superiors, but also impeached by the courtiers.When can he go back.

He interrupted and said: "Master, it's not that I wait to disrespect the gods and Buddhas, but that the princess has a noble status, and it is not good to stay outside for too long. If something happens, you and I can't afford it. Let me ask the princess to come out.".”

Zhu Quan smiled: "Du Yuhou has been fighting for a long time, and he is impatient. You should guard against arrogance and impetuosity. Why don't you recite the scriptures together."

This monk!

Qin Shuihuai glanced around, in addition to the guards, there were monk monks from the Huguo Temple, not to mention it was not easy to be violent in the Huguo Temple.

The hall door was suddenly pushed open, but it was not Rong Jian who walked out, but Nanny Chen who was beside Empress Dowager.

She had a serious face and frowned deeply: "What are you arguing about?"

Qin Shuihuai said: "Mother Chen, it's time to go back."

Chen Momo said in a low voice: "Your Highness has not finished copying the prayer scriptures for the Empress Dowager, how can I go back? When is it now? The ancients were filial and sincere, chant scriptures for the sake of their elders without sleep, so much so that they shed blood and tears. Although Your Highness is a princess, but also as a child, just now I confessed to the old slave that I would never slack off because of such a small matter."

Suppressing people with filial piety is a common method used by the Empress Dowager, and Nanny Chen is also the best at it.

This time there were also some aunts and aunts from the Hall of Compassion and Ning. They were not qualified to accompany the princess, but they were also waiting in the outer hall. After hearing the noise, they came out to respond.

Qin Shuihuai didn't expect that one or two would be so difficult, but he really didn't want to wait any longer, and this is outside the palace, so these women can't let these women make the decisions, but suddenly heard Nanny Chen say: "This old slave knows that everyone is thinking about it."Hurry up to complete the errand, but let me just say a word, this matter of copying the scriptures and praying for blessings is related to the disaster and fortune of the Empress Dowager Tao, and should not be neglected. If the empress is a little careless in the future, there is something wrong, or the mood is not going well, it will be even more serious.Three chiefs..."

Nanny Chen seemed to be like all the old nuns who lived in the deep palace for a long time, serving the masters beneath one person, above ten-thousand others, not paying attention to these outside court officials, and only caring about the Empress Dowager's affairs.

This is all she said, and the unfinished words are even more terrifying: "When the time comes, the Empress Dowager will think about what happened today, or she will offend the Bodhisattva and Buddha before she commits the crime. At that time, the old slave has not fulfilled his duties and is willing to be punished. But I am afraidEven the adults present cannot escape punishment."

The three of them are not afraid of an old nun, but Empress Dowager is indeed silent on Buddhism and holds authority.Especially Han Jin, the captain of the Hujing School, Empress Dowager had to make a few detours if he wanted to torment others.

Han Jin, who was watching from the sidelines, hurriedly came out to interrupt: "Mama is very right. The princess has a filial piety, how can we courtiers stop it. It is already dark, but the hindrance is not too big, and it is in the capital, it will notWhat accident happened. When you go back, hurry up and don't delay anything. Just let His Highness finish the gift in peace and pray for the Empress Dowager."

Nanny Chen replied, without any smile on her face, just as she was about to speak again, a eunuch suddenly came outside, saying that she came at the order of the Empress Dowager.

Yizhi said that a group of crows suddenly came to the palace, and they couldn't drive them away. The Empress Dowager invited the young supervisor of the Sitian Supervisor to look at it, and made a divination, saying that it was an unlucky day, and one had to pray for blessings and burn incense to pay homage to the ancestors.It happened that the princess was still in the Huguo Temple, so the princess and Zhu Quan presided over the sacrificial affairs and came back after the end of tomorrow.

The matter was also invited to the emperor, and there was no objection.

Qin Shuihuai had a gloomy face, but he didn't dare to say any more.

Who would have expected that a group of crows would disturb them and they would not be able to return to Beijing today, and they would have to stay here for another day, so why would they still worry about what to do tonight?

It was getting late, and Rong Jian originally only planned to go out for a while before going back. Although the stroll on the ground has now become the stroll in the sky, it seems that the time is about the same.

Thinking of this, Rong Jian tugged Ming Ye's sleeve, although he was very reluctant, but still said: "Should I go back? It's getting late, I'm afraid something will happen in Huguo Temple."

After a pause, he said again: "Ling Song should be waiting in front of the Clear Sky Workshop, don't tell her to wait."

Akeno stopped. He remembered that what he ordered on the way to and from Clear Sky Workshop should have been done, but he didn't stop it, so he nodded.

He has been working in the palace all year round, but he knows the way to Capital very well, unlike Rong JIan, a road idiot who forgets at a glance. What's more, he doesn't care about the road conditions, passing the roofs and treetops, taking the shortest shortcutAfter a while, returned to the green boxcar next to the Clear Sky Workshop.

Ling Song put on a cloak and greeted Rong Jian as soon as he saw him. He lowered his voice and said, "Cultivator Zhu Quan sent a little novice to deliver a note, saying that it is... an order to let you be in charge of tomorrow's sacrifice."

Rong Jian reacted slowly: "It means I don't have to go back today?"

Ling Song could hear his happy tone, and also laughed: "Well, the monk told you not to worry, if you like it, you can go shopping more. But after you go back, you still have to learn how to sacrifice, and tomorrow you have to preside over it and show it to the people in the temple., so I can explain to..."

Rong Jian was overjoyed, he couldn't care about tomorrow anymore, let's talk about tomorrow's affairs tomorrow, today is a once-in-a-lifetime event.

He said: "Then I... want to go out for a walk again, you can find a warmer restaurant and wait for me. If you are in a hurry, you can go back first."

Then asked: "Ling Song, do you have any silver?"

Ling Song was the most appropriate preparation, why didn't he bring money with him.

When he came back, Rong JIan felt like he was going to go back, but he didn't expect to hear such good news, and when he walked out with Ming Ye, his feet were trembling.

Rong Jian said in a daze, "I had been waiting at Clear Sky Workshop for a long time, and thought I would go back after a meal."

Akeno silently followed beside him.

The Wanlai Chamber of Commerce does not have many arrangements in the palace, but there are some, Mingye has also been operating in the palace for two years.

Money can't do everything, but a young prisoner is nothing more.

Even if Ming Ye didn't kill the shopkeeper today, there is nothing to stop him from doing so.

Rong Jian is wasting time because of waiting, and Mingye does not want him to lose what he is looking forward to.

Arriving at a deserted alley again, Rong Jian raised his head, hesitated, and asked awkwardly, "Can I fly again?"

Akino said, "Okay."

It was a little funny again.

Rong Jian's ability to adapt is very strong. After being carried by Ming Ye for a while, he became more courageous. He asked without hesitation, "Are there any tall buildings nearby? The ones that can see the surroundings."

Mingye's footsteps paused: "There is a building for picking stars."

So went to the Star Picking Tower.

Ordinary people watch the stars and the moon, they usually sit at the small table in the building, drinking tea and wine, but Rong Jian's appreciation is very unusual, he is held in his arms and stands on the steeple.

The night wind was bitter, blowing Rong Jian's skirt up.

Mingye leaned slightly against the cornice behind him, Rong JIan tilted his head, and saw the peaceful Taiping Palace in the distance, and the street market not far away was brightly lit, full of pedestrians, but once he lowered his head, the nearby figures were just black one after another.point.

Rong Jian was a little dizzy, it was the first time he knew that he was still afraid of heights.

After looking at it twice, Rong Jian closed his eyes tightly, and tugged at Ming Ye's sleeve: "No, it's too high, it's a bit scary, let's go down."

Akeno looked at him a little funny.

Rong Jian is so delicate and capricious.

Just like a lively kitten, it seems to climb up and down all day long, but in fact it is really brought to a high place, and it dare not move around, but trembles.

Rong Jian is not as good as a kitten, he can't even climb a tree.

Ming Ye asked: "Do you want to go to the night market? There is one not far away."

After landing, Rong Jian was still a little unsteady, so he had to lean on Ming Ye and walk forward slowly.

They walked from the deserted alley to the brightly lit market, from the dimness to the light, everything just now was like a dream, unreal.

Rong JIan indulged in the feeling of drunkenness.

Once people have expectations, they will also have a sense of what they can get.

Before tonight, Rong Jian knew that if Ming Ye came to accompany him, he would be very happy, but he didn't expect to return to this level, beyond his perception, and let him enter a state of almost overload.

Rong Jian had already woken up after drinking so little wine, but he still seemed to be drunk.

Holding Ming Ye's hand, the two of them walked out of the alley.

The fireworks in the world, people coming and going, Rong Jian and Ming Ye were also submerged in it.

Easterlies of the night call to bloom blossoms of a thousand trees, more blows fall, stars rain.

Rong Jian stared blankly at everything in front of him.

Searching for her a thousand times among the crowd, suddenly looking back.

Rong Jian turned his head and saw Ming Ye standing beside him, he was taken care of and protected by this person, as if he had nothing to say.

Rong Jian seems to know nothing about many things, he is very naive and stupid, he can't deal with many things, but he seems to have a natural perception of Ming Ye's emotions.

They walked among the crowd, and Rong Jian asked, "Are you not very happy today?"

After the murder, Akino's mood couldn't be considered bad, but he was a little annoyed by some trivial things - cleaning up the scene, changing clothes, and sorting out the books.

In fact, Akeno's mood hardly fluctuates, he is the kind of person who doesn't have a lot of happiness, and doesn't have much sadness.

But when we are together with Rong Jian, we will mostly be at a high point.

Mingo nodded.

Rong Jian looked at him for a while, his pupils were pitch-black, and the lights reflected in them seemed very bright, and he said with certainty: "But it should be pretty good now."

Because Rong Jian made a big fuss, Ming Ye was also forced to become mentally handicapped with him and clean up the mess for him.

But it is too confident to say so, Rong Jian took back that sentence and asked: "Then are you happier?"

Ming Ye didn't think too much, and said casually: "When I'm with Miss, I'm not unhappy."

Rong Jian let out an "oh" and replied, "Me too."

Just ran away again.

There are a lot of gadgets in the street market, but Rong Jian didn’t get permission to come out to play, he sneaked out of the Huguo Temple, and when he went back, he had to pretend nothing happened and ride a carriage, even if he bought them, he couldn’t bring them in, so also just look.

But bought a fan.The reason is also very simple, Rong JIan is too beautiful, and when he walks, there will always be some vague eyes on him, so he has to cover half of his face with a round fan.

The purchased round fan was decorated with a branch of double-petal camellia instead of the original embroidered flowers. The stall owner introduced: "This is the most fashionable style for your ladies now. Why don't you try it too, miss."

It seems that the girls of Ning Shizhai spread this fan outside the palace, and it became popular.

Rong Jian made a choice and covered his face, but he couldn't laugh or cry. He looked up at Ming Ye on the side: "I learned from you, and I should pay the copyright fee."

Ming Ye walked beside him, blocking those pedestrians for him, and asked, "What is copyright fee?"

Rong JIan's head was getting bigger, he felt that he was speechless, and he didn't know how to explain it, so he said vaguely: "Anyway, I should give you money, this is what you did first."

Ming Ye also saw it, so he didn't ask any more questions.

When passing by a place selling cosmetics, Rong Jian was still walking forward, and Ming Ye suddenly stopped behind, and grabbed his collar by the way, to prevent Rong Jian from knowing nothing, and not knowing where he went with the flow of people in a blink of an eye.

Rong JIan picked up someone else's back collar today, and now being picked up by someone else, it feels very unusual.But at that time, he was going to hit someone, while Akeno was more protective.

He didn't break free, turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Akeno looked at Rong Jian's face seriously.

Rong Jian covered his face with a round fan, only showing the small half of his face with the bridge of the nose up, and he could just see the painted small mountain eyebrows.

The world regards black eyebrows as beautiful, and the darker the color, the better, but Rong Jian doesn't think so.After time travelling, Rong Jian recognized the fact that he had to play the role of a big boss in women's clothing for a long time, so he also re-selected the makeup in the dowry, and replaced it with eyebrows that were not too thick, but it was very smooth when painted on the face.complement each other.

What Ming Ye saw was the color, he asked a few words, and then bought a few eyebrows from the stall owner.

The stall owner accepted the money from the handsome young man with a smile on his face, and even deliberately complimented him: "The young master and the young lady are talented and beautiful, they are really a pair of people."

Rong Jian stopped talking and wanted to slip away again, but unfortunately he was dragged by the collar and couldn't slip away.

Ming Ye was always taciturn, he didn't say anything, but with a little force, he led Rong Jian to a place where there was no one else.

Rong Jian was a little puzzled: "What are you buying this for?"

The two stopped at a corner of the street, Ming Ye raised his hand, brushing aside Rong Jian's pile of hair: "Miss, are you in a hurry to go out today? You haven't drawn your eyebrows yet."

The slightly cool fingertips brushed his brows and eyes, Rong Jian didn't react too much, and said blankly: "...I am very anxious."

Ming Ye smiled: "Let me fill in the back half of the eyebrow for Miss."

It sounds like you are asking for the opinion of Rong Jian, but what you are actually saying is a declarative sentence.

Rong JIan never refused Ming Ye's request, it was very difficult for him to refuse this person.

So he nodded slowly.

Ming Ye stood on the outside, his figure was tall, although Rong Jian was not short, his whole body was completely shrouded in the shadow of this person.

Then he lowered his body slightly, holding Meidai in his hand, stroke by stroke, carefully traced on Rong Jian's eyebrows.

It's all about drawing eyebrows, Rong Jian didn't even dare to blink, just stared like that.

They were very close, so close that Rong JIan could see the lines on Qing Mingye's palm, and he could also see the outline of his jaw.

Rong Jian's heartbeat can't help but also speed up, wondering whether the current appearance is close to the perspective of kissing in comics?

Forget it, or forget it.It always feels like it's going to explode.

The quality of Mei Dai sold at small vendors is very poor, and cannot be compared with those in the palace.Mingye drew for a long time, being very careful every time he put down his pen, and finally put away his pen and got up.

Rong Jian also raised his hand, wanting to touch the half of his eyebrows, as if he wanted to but dared not.

Mingye's voice was very low, so low that it was impossible to be heard by others: "Your Highness, are you afraid that I can't draw well?"

Rong Jian said frankly: "... a bit. But it's okay."

Although Ming Ye is very powerful, Thrush also tests experience and skills, as well as aesthetics.

For example, he himself can easily make some strange things.

Ming Ye took two steps back, put his thumb on the blade, the snowy light flashed, the blade was unsheathed, and it was exposed in front of Rong Jian.

Anyone with a little vision can see that this is an extremely sharp murder knife.

Rong Jian was not afraid, he seemed a little puzzled, before he had time to ask, he saw the snow-white blade reflecting his eyebrows and eyes.

The eyebrows are well drawn, no different from the other side, even the curvature is exactly the same, no difference can be seen.Aunt Zhou can't draw so well.

The knife has never been used like this.Akeno might not have thought of such a thing.

Rong JIan let out a "huh", he quickly forgot his doubt just now: "You are so good. How can you know everything, and your hands are so steady?"

It seems to be asking for advice very carefully.

Ming Ye withdrew the knife, and his tone was not so serious: "You can't hold a knife with an unstable hand."

Rong Jian had just experienced flying over eaves and walls, and was very interested in these unscientific things, so he asked, "Can I learn?"

His hands can also be as steady as Akino's, and he can get rid of his clumsiness.

Ming Ye held the scabbard, and raised Rong Jian's hand with the handle, he did it a bit contemptuously, but Rong Jian didn't care, and allowed him to move meekly.

Cold scabbard, warm delicate fingers.

Ming Ye lowered his eyes and said casually: "It would be a pity to use such a beautiful hand as your Highness to practice knives."

So fragile, so easily hurt, so in need of protection.

"The minister knows how to use a knife."
