Chapter 6 Banyan Blossom Ruxue Confesses Her Heartfelt Love
Wind, blowing gently.
Sunshine, softly sprinkled.
Water, gurgling.
Facing the rising sun and the first ray of rays, Feng Qingge and Xue Xichen walked in the mountains, breathing in the fragrance of the fragrant grass and trees, and couldn't help but feel relaxed and happy.
"Wow - what a beautiful view -"
Under the shade of lush greenery, Xue Xichen stood on a protruding rock on the hillside cliff, opening her arms and letting the morning breeze blow. The cool breeze ruffled her beautiful long hair, giving her a feeling of being suspended in the air, as if she were flying.
In an instant, I became light, as if I was flying among the clouds, and my body became so comfortable and happy.
"Tongtong, be careful!"
Feng Qingge carefully protected her from behind. Although he knew her martial arts skills, he couldn't help but worry and wanted to protect her.
"Standing on the rock and looking down, the mountains are covered with clouds and fog, and it feels like standing on the clouds. It feels really great!"
She likes this feeling, she enjoys this feeling. It is a kind of comfort emanating from the bottom of her heart. Her body becomes so light and light, as if all her worries disappear in an instant.
"Tongtong, raise your head."
The morning breeze blew gently, and the snow-white petals as fine as down fluttered down one after another, falling gently on the tip of Xue Xichen's nose. The coolness, with the morning dew, was refreshing to the heart.
"Wow! It looks like snowflakes!"
Xue Xichen stretched out her palms to catch the falling banyan flowers and watched the flowers flying and spinning in her palms, showing a happy expression.
Seeing her smile, Feng Qingge burst into happiness from the bottom of his heart. As long as she is happy, no matter what he does, it will be worth it.
"Tongtong, I know you like plum blossoms. It's not yet the season for plum blossoms to bloom, so I can't give you a tree of plum blossoms. I only hope that this banyan tree can bring you happiness instead of plum blossoms. I believe you will like it."
Xue Xichen showed a surprised expression, staring at Feng Qingge's sincere and hot eyes that did not conceal the fire in her heart, she could not help but lower her long eyelashes.
What should she say?
Feng Qingge didn't need Xue Xichen to answer. He stood with his hands behind his hands, looking quietly at the cloud-covered mountains in the distance, and said quietly: "Tongtong, you don't like living in the palace, right?"
"Um!"
Xue Xichen responded softly, sat down on the rock, raised her face, and enjoyed the coolness of the banyan flowers falling on her face.
"How about I build a villa at the foot of the mountain for you to live in?"
Xue Xichen tilted her head and looked at Feng Qingge with doubt in her eyes, "Don't you need to go back to the palace?"
"No need to go back to the palace."
"I'm afraid it's unreasonable for the queen to leave the palace for a long time..."
"When I issue an imperial edict, which minister dares to have an opinion?"
Xue Xichen held her chin, thinking seriously, and slowly shook her head, "I still don't think it's right. The queen is the head of the six palaces. If she doesn't sit in the middle palace, how can she be the mother of the world? Or..."
She looked deeply at Feng Qingge and pointed out sharply, "The emperor wants to abolish the queen and re-establish it?"
"Where are you thinking!" Feng Qingge frowned and swore to heaven that he had no such intention. "If you don't like it, forget it! But I have no intention of abolishing the queen! Don't worry!"
"Really?" Xue Xichen responded calmly, wondering what Feng Qingge had in mind when he suddenly said this to her.
The two were silent for a while.
After a moment, Xue Xichen patted her clothes and stood up, jumped off the rock, and stood next to Feng Qingge. She looked up at Feng Qingge, who was staring at the distant mountains like an old monk, tilting her head and showing a cute expression.
"Your Majesty, you are back!"
"Don't call me 'Emperor'."
Feng Qingge lowered her eyes, showed a gentle smile to Xue Xichen, and reiterated her words again and again.
Feng Qingge's gentle smile stung her eyes, and Xue Xichen couldn't help but look away. Her heart felt astringent, and she felt uncomfortable in every possible way. She tugged at the corner of her mouth, tried hard to squeeze out a smile, and replied calmly: "Your Majesty is the most noble of today."
The emperor, one person is subordinate to tens of thousands of people, how can I dare to ignore the superiority and inferiority of my concubines?"
"Tongtong, don't say that!"
Even if everyone in the world bows down to me, you will never bow down to me.
"emperor……"
"Call me 'Qingge'."
"..."
Xue Xichen was silent. When she met Feng Qingge's insistent gaze, she sighed silently and compromised, "Qingge..."
"Tongtong!"
Feng Qingge felt happy and couldn't help but hold Xue Xichen's hands. Xue Xichen subconsciously wanted to break away, but realized the role she was playing at the moment and tried her best to restrain herself and not dodge.
However, Feng Qingge could see the resistance in Xue Xichen's heart from Xue Xichen's expression. He couldn't help but feel as heavy as a boulder, feeling stuffy and panicked.
"Tongtong, what do you want to say?"
Feng Qingge tried hard to hide the heaviness in her heart, forced out a fake smile, and asked Xue Xichen.
"I'm thinking……"
Is it time to go back? Before he could say anything, when he met Feng Qingge's eager gaze, Xue Xichen felt as if a fish bone was stuck in his throat. He was stunned for a long time and remained speechless.
"Tongtong?"
Xue Xichen's silence made Feng Qingge look puzzled, her eyes flickering slightly worried, "Are you unhappy..."
He treated her so carefully and treated her like a treasure. She was no longer like the free and carefree Feng Qingge in the past. Xue Xichen's depression became even more intense.
Feng Qingge...
Does he love Wang Yingjun so much...
"Your Majesty, it's getting late, should we go down the mountain?"
In order to prevent herself from continuing to feel heartache, Xue Xichen chose to escape. She would rather hide back in the cold palace than face the passionate Feng Qingge.
"Tongtong, you called me wrong again! You should be punished!"
Feng Qingge patted Xue Xichen's palm half-seriously, with a childish expression, "It's getting late, it's still early! Tongtong, let's go to Yufeng Temple on the top of the mountain.
"
"Go to the temple to burn incense?"
Xue Xichen showed an unexpected expression. When did Feng Qingge become superstitious?
"Let's go!"
Feng Qingge did not answer Xue Xichen's question. He took Xue Xichen's hand and turned around to walk towards Yufeng Temple on the mountain.
…
The moss-covered stone steps tell the story of the age, and the vague mountain gate seems to have not been renovated for many years. The stone tablet on the lintel has been worn away by wind and rain, and the writing cannot be seen clearly even with all the eyesight. Only the blood-red color can be seen.
The three big characters "Yufeng Temple" are eye-catching, so bright that it's a bit thrilling and scary.
"This temple is in such a state of decline, does anyone still come to offer incense?"
In Xue Xichen's impression, all temples with great popularity must be bright, beautiful and majestic. Nothing like this one looks like a temple at all. Instead, it looks like a haunted house, making people panic.
"Silently climbing the moss steps, the mud is peeling off and no one comes. I am determined to alleviate the suffering in the world, but it is ridiculous that the world has not opened its eyes."
Feng Qingge answered Xue Xichen calmly, then stepped forward and knocked on the iron ring on the door.
"knock……"
"knock……"
"knock……"
The sound was long and thick, echoing in the mountains. The two of them waited quietly at the door, but for a long time no monk came out to answer the door.
Xue Xichen tilted her head, feeling more and more like a haunted house.
