"Look at you, you are already sweating profusely. It would be rude if the ladies in the palace saw you."
Although Lin Mengya said this, she still took the cloth from Hong Yu's hand and wiped the sweat on Ying Hua's forehead carefully.
Children are children after all, and Lin Mengya doesn't want Ying Hua to be burdened with so many things at such a young age.
Even now, Lin Mengya still works hard to create a more relaxed atmosphere so that Ying Hua will not become a frightened bird like them.
Taking Ying Hua's little hand, he took him to his room and used some plain pastries that had been prepared long ago.
While Lin Mengya smiled and watched Ying Hua eat, she asked if anything happened in the yard when she went to pay his respects.
"There's nothing else. It's just that a person who calls herself Aunt Yan brought a few palace servants to our place to look for her. Sister Hongyu will watch them personally. Nothing will happen to them."
Bai Ji replied in detail. After listening, Lin Mengya just nodded.
It seems that those people should have come to find Cheng Meiren. I don’t know if they have found her, but although Cheng Meiren is not old, she is still a concubine in the palace. How could she just come to Huguo Temple and run away?
It's quite abnormal to go.
"Yes, I've heard that too. Don't go wandering around outside these days. At least, you have to be careful for a few days before Cheng Meiren's matter settles down."
Lin Mengya knew that she was suspicious, but here, she had to be more careful.
"yes."
With Lin Mengya's instructions, everyone will naturally be careful.
Seeing that Ying Hua had rested enough, Lin Mengya played with him for a while. It wasn't until the sun set that she packed up her things and took Ying Hua to the meditation room.
With the help of Hongyu, Lin Mengya bathed and changed clothes in the Zen room. The incense sent by the queen must be lit continuously within three days.
Lin Mengya had already checked it and found that it was just some fine sandalwood, without any harmful substances.
However, although this fragrance is light, it always makes people feel dizzy if it is lit like this all day long.
The so-called bathing with incense only requires people to calm down in order to achieve the purity of body and mind and not to blaspheme the gods. Although she did not mean any blasphemy, after all, it is extremely boring to be alone in the room.
Apart from reading some scriptures, Lin Mengya's only pastime was to listen to the four girls taking turns telling her about outside things.
In fact, it was just some gossip between women, but what interested Lin Mengya the most was Cheng, who had never been found. beauty.
"Tell me, where is the Empress Cheng Meiren going? The Empress already knows about it. I heard she was furious and said she would be severely punished if she was found!"
Bai Zhi looks innocent because she is the youngest, so when others are gossiping, they don't mind her eavesdropping at all.
Over time, the girl Bai Zhi became an information bridge connecting them with others.
Moreover, the things this girl was able to find out were detailed, and she could also relay them in different categories, which surprised Lin Mengya. It seemed that she had really underestimated this little girl.
"That's of course, but this Miss Cheng is really confused. Although the palace is a little colder, it is still a good place for the wealth of the Tian family. If you run away like this, you might bring trouble to your family."
Bai Ji said with some regret, but after all, she had been with Lin Mengya for a long time.
I have experienced some of the shameful things in the palace. However, I just feel sorry for Cheng Meiren’s family.
"Yes, I heard that she ran away with a young monk, who said she had a nose and eyes. I'm also surprised. Could it be that she knew before that there would be her old lover here?"
Bai Shao just listened to this matter as a joke. To be honest, this kind of erotic and unofficial history was the most suitable for after-dinner conversation.
But Lin Mengya, who was dizzy while reading the scriptures in the room, grasped the most crucial point.
He raised his head from the book and looked at the four girls chatting happily at the door.
"Do you think that Cheng Meiren eloped with someone? Or did she run away with a monk?"
Bai Zhi nodded immediately and reported everything she had heard in the past few days to Lin Mengya in detail.
"It shouldn't be. The palace has strict rules. Let alone a little beauty like her, deliver a message to the monks at Huguo Temple. Even if she delivers a message to people outside the palace walls, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fake it. I
Look, Cheng Meiren’s disappearance may not be that simple.”
Lin Mengya was thoughtful. She always felt that there was something fishy about Cheng Meiren's affairs.
But it was none of her business, so Lin Mengya didn't delve into it.
However, with the passage of time, there is no news about Cheng Meiren in the tightly sealed small temple. I am afraid that even a fool can smell the unusualness in it.
Furthermore, although the Queen's group did not make a big fanfare, they
All kinds of news about Cheng Meiren are spread among women at an extremely fast speed. Almost everyone knows about it.
This kind of non-rigorous attitude is not like the behavior of the Queen.
After closing the book, Lin Mengya looked at the yard, thoughtfully.
"Master, do you think this matter is coming to us?"
Hongyu asked tentatively, Lin Mengya looked at her, shook her head, and nodded again.
She frowned slightly, the fragrance always made her head feel dizzy after a whole day of exposure. However, the people from the Queen's side came to inspect every hour of the day. .??.
Rubbing her temples, Lin Mengya could only stand at the door and let out the smell in the room.
"Just be careful. Don't let people in easily these days. Check everything that goes in and out carefully. The incense makes me have a headache. Don't let Ying Hua get close. I'm afraid it will injure him."
The situation seemed to be developing smoothly, but Lin Mengya finally liberated herself after staying in a room full of incense for three days.
The religious ceremony started yesterday, and today it happened that the ladies, headed by the Queen, sat quietly in the Main Hall to meditate on Buddhist scriptures.
The queen had already sent someone to formulate the process before, so these women did it in an orderly and relaxed manner.
Lin Mengya knelt on her futon. She didn't know if it was because the incense had been too pungent these days. When they got to the main hall, the incense candles used for rituals seemed to have lost their smell at all.
of.
But just in the middle of the process, waves of exclamations suddenly came from the main hall.
Lin Mengya suddenly became energetic, straightened up and looked inside. She saw the abbot, who was chanting sutras and praying inside just now, ran out in a panic.
"Master, why are you so alarmed? Don't disturb the Bodhisattva or blaspheme the gods."
Aunt Yan, who was beside the queen, immediately stepped forward to ask. At this time, the movement somewhat alarmed the queen, who was concentrating with her eyes closed.
Her majestic eyes opened, and the queen looked at the master abbot, with a slightly displeased expression on her face, as if she was blaming him for disturbing the gods in this way.
"What's the matter?"
When the queen spoke, the abbot naturally did not dare to neglect her.
He quickly stepped forward, with a look of fear on his face, and whispered a few words to the queen.
But the queen's eyes immediately changed from doubtful to solemn.
"look If you live in the Main Hall, no one is allowed in. Also, go and invite Master Yun Shen over. Remember, don’t disturb anyone."
The queen stood up and, surrounded by the abbot, walked quickly to the main hall.
Although Lin Mengya was located near the front, she couldn't see clearly what was going on inside.
All we could see was that the monks who were chanting sutras in the temple looked a little frightened.
Normally, nothing should happen. But there was some uneasiness in her heart, which suddenly tightened her heart.
As soon as we arrived here, Cheng Meiren disappeared. If something happens again at this time, I am afraid that this water and land ritual will become a joke in Dajin.
"Everyone is talking about it, what is it like! Even if there are many evildoers, our Jin Kingdom is so powerful and prosperous, we still can't tolerate those evildoers!"
The majestic and old voice immediately suppressed all discussions.
Lin Mengya turned her head and saw a solemn old lady with silver hair on her right, continuing to chant sutras steadily.
This, I'm afraid, is her legendary grandmother, the Queen, and Guan Qing's biological mother.
For some reason, the other party seemed to feel her gaze. Suddenly, those eyes that had gone through many vicissitudes, but were still sharp, pierced her straight.
Suddenly, Lin Mengya realized what true disdain meant.
The other party just glanced at her lightly, but the contempt in that look was a feeling that he had never put her in his eyes from the bottom of his heart.
It was just a short moment, but Lin Mengya just smiled politely. The old woman didn't waste time on her, closed her eyes and continued to chant.
It seems that she is really having a hard time. With the Queen and her mother personally taking action, I don't know how many rounds I can go in their hands.
She wanted to stop thinking about these troublesome things, but the vague feeling of uneasiness accumulating in her heart made Lin Mengya feel a little flustered.
I glanced past the courtyard gate inadvertently, and saw a snow-white figure behind Aunt Yan who was leaving and returning. In the sunshine, it was a bit alarming.
But on top of the snow-white monk's robe, the face with red lips and white teeth that was so bright and striking made her feel a little dazed.
If it weren't for the shiny bald head on top of the other person's head and the monk's robe on his body, she would definitely not think that this person would have anything to do with the monk.
That charming face, which even women would find eclipsed, looks even more gorgeous against the backdrop of the quiet temple.
