"Eh? Miss, have you eaten?" Xi'er was surprised. She reached into the sedan and carefully wiped away the residue from the corners of my mouth.
"Of course, why don't you let people eat when you get married?!" Not only did I not feel embarrassed, my voice doubled in volume.
"Who gave it to you?" the girl continued to ask.
"Ruojun." She could guess it even without saying it.
"Oh, she is so deceptive. Look, miss, your lipstick is all stained." Xi'er took out the handkerchief and gently wiped away the red marks around my lips.
At this time, it was already daybreak, and the outside of the sedan gradually became busy. I couldn't help but quietly lift a corner of the sedan cloth. There were so many people, why did they leave the palace so quickly! This group of common people was really ridiculous, and the queen didn't even recognize them.
Still working so blindly, it seems like he is happier than getting married! Er, by the way, where is Meng Zihan?
I sat glumly in the small space, and familiar figures flashed through my mind. My father, mother, grandma, and my dearest aunt. I wonder if we will have the chance to meet again in this life?! We are not separated by thousands of mountains.
Water has been around for thousands of generations, which is easier said than done!
Queen? How many women pray to gods and Buddhas for a position that they cannot hope for. No matter what happens to any woman in the harem, it is a blessing to honor her ancestors, feel proud, and receive divine favor. However, what does it mean to me?!
I hate this place, I hate the harem, I even hate the entire era, where men are superior to women and the world is dominated by men! I despise polygamy and those women who fight for favor. I don’t want this, but what right do I have to choose? There is a saying.
Good: Life is like ###, you can’t resist, you can only enjoy it.
At this moment, the joyful atmosphere outside was in sharp contrast with the cold helplessness inside me. From now on, I will become the head of the harem. I will be my mother's lord, but secretly I have to face all kinds of right and wrong frame-ups. Behind the glamor and glitz, I don't know what will happen.
How many people fell!
"Miss, many people are calling you." Xi'er came to the small window with a proud look on her face. This girl really has no rules.
Originally, we were going to ride in a large open sedan, but in order to prevent someone from coming out to cause trouble, we changed it to a fully enclosed high sedan.
"Long live the Emperor!"
"The Queen is a thousand years old!" There were shouts from all around, but it was a pity that the caller had a heart and the listener was powerless.
"Miss, we are almost there." This girl can't be so excited, right?! I have to marry her early tomorrow, I secretly thought in my heart.
As soon as I got off the sedan, Xi'er hurriedly stepped forward and helped me out. I felt melancholy and sighed for a while along the way, and I was indeed tired.
"Yan'er"'s gentle and watery voice is enough to make people's hearts wander. Meng Zihan is wearing a dragon robe, his figure is tall and slender, his eyes are watery, so passionate, his sword eyebrows are stretched, his narrow nose is straight, and his lips are slightly open, trying to be as tempting as possible.
Confused, even I was dumbfounded.
"Yan'er, do you still like your husband's body?!" Meng Zihan walked around behind Xi'er without any boundaries, took my hand, and joked in my ear.
Being told what I was thinking, I couldn't help but blush with embarrassment. I quickly lowered my eyes, fearing that I would be distracted by his peach blossom eyes again.
"Let's go." Meng Zihan playfully nodded my nose, chuckled, and then pulled me forward.
There was a sea of people around us, all behind us, which suddenly gave me the illusion that only the two of us really existed in this world! The sounds of kneeling, making noises, trumpets, and firecrackers all blended together into one.
The cheerful music flows into our hearts.
"Yan'er, when you get in, just follow my example and bow." Meng Zihan knew very well that I didn't understand these etiquette rules, so he slowly let go of my hand and said considerately.
At this time, a beam of sunlight fell down and shone on his face, lighting up the entire face and shining brightly, making the profound facial features even more perfect. Could this beautiful man in front of me be the entrustment of my life?! I was deeply
He looked at Meng Zihan with helplessness but also a little bit of joy in his heart.
Then, I followed Meng Zihan across the thresholds, passed through small temples, and finally came to the big temple in the center of the innermost place.
"Long live the emperor, thousands live the empress." An old abbot led a group of young monks to kneel down hurriedly.
"Pingsheng, this is Abbot Zhengde. The late emperor came to offer sacrifices many times before his death, and every time he would sit down and talk with the abbot at night." Meng Zihan introduced me, his respectful attitude was beyond words.
"Thank you for your kindness." The abbot bowed slightly, and when he looked at me, he suddenly stopped. Some inexplicable look flashed in his eyes, including shock and disbelief. Finally, he sighed silently.
I always felt that there was something special about this abbot, but I couldn’t tell where exactly it was. I still looked at him in confusion. I have to say that this person is very mysterious!
"Yan'er, come with me to pay homage to the late emperor." Meng Zihan pushed me, and then pulled me to my knees involuntarily, muttering something, and I didn't know what he was muttering! I followed suit.
I followed his example and moved my lips, still guessing about the abbot's identity.
"Yan'er, what did you say?" Meng Zihan helped me stand up, winking at me with a wicked smile on his face.
"Forgot." I responded casually, thinking: I have never met your late emperor, what do I have to say?
"Your Majesty, I would like to take the Queen to visit other ancestral temples. I wonder what your Majesty's wishes are?" the abbot bent down and said respectfully.
Does he know my identity? Or does he have something to say to me?! No, I have to get rid of Meng Zihan first, and then I can ask the truth.
"Your Majesty, please rest for a while. I will visit with the abbot for a while and come quickly." Seeing Meng Zihan hesitate and seem unhappy, I hurriedly spoke first.
"Okay then." Meng Zihan responded reluctantly, but his gaze did not slacken at all and he still followed me closely.
I followed the abbot to a small temple. He removed all the people, carefully looked around outside the door, and then closed the door with peace of mind.
I briefly scanned the small temple, sat down on a chair nearby, and stared at him expectantly, hoping that he could bring me some life.
"Your Majesty." The abbot was about to salute, but I quickly stopped him, helped him up, and said seriously: "No need to be too polite."
"Do you know my identity?" Seeing the old man's slowness, I couldn't wait any longer and said in advance.
The abbot said nothing, but nodded slightly, holding the Buddhist beads on his chest tightly with both hands, looking calm and serious.
"So, you know that I am a person from a thousand years later?" I couldn't restrain the excitement in my heart, my mood was high, and my voice was full of joy.
The abbot still just nodded, his eyes bright and distant, shining with the light of a wise man.
This old man is so anxious to kill people! I suddenly stood in front of him regardless of my identity, and couldn't help but said dissatisfiedly: "Can you please say a word?"
The abbot smiled with understanding, looked at me again, stroked his gray beard, and his old voice contained a hint of mystery: "The world has its own mysteries, and there is a destiny in it. Why do you need to trouble yourself!"
What kind of nonsense is this? If you say it, it means you haven’t said it! My eyes were full of anger, my face immediately turned black, and my patience was completely worn out by him.
"What the hell is going on?" The sullen tone hinted to him that I was already very impatient!
"My Lady, don't worry, there will be a great catastrophe between heaven and earth every five hundred years. At that time, dark clouds will cover the sky, the sky will be dark and dull, the sky will split into two sides, and the gate of heaven will slowly open. At this time, the aurora will appear.
, everything has its own conclusion." It seems that the old man knows a lot! "And the era that the empress lives in happens to happen once every five hundred years."
Damn it, what kind of bad luck can you have, but this shit luck! I couldn't help but curse, no wonder people say that when people are unlucky, they can choke to death when they drink water.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" The old abbot frowned when he saw that I was deep in thought. He muttered to himself and remained silent for a long time.
"Okay, no more nonsense, just tell me, is there any way I can go back?!" I can't stay in this damn place for a moment!
The old abbot was stunned for a moment, the smile in his eyes gradually dissipated, his eyes were deep, he smiled secretly, and said slowly: "Yes, but I'm afraid I have to wait until the next rotation."
Well, it sounds reasonable, but you won’t have to wait hundreds of years, right? I bit my lip, glanced at the old abbot from the corner of my eyes, mustered up the courage, and asked tremblingly: “How many years?”
"Your Majesty is very lucky. In another three years, the next shift of heaven and earth will take place." After the old abbot finished speaking, he gave me a mysterious smile.
Lucky? So, I have three more years to stay here? Then when I go back, won’t I be twenty-six and an old girl?! I thought to myself.
"Then, how will I go back in three years?" As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I have to fight for it. Now, the most important thing is to understand some procedures first, so as not to be confused and miss it!
"My Lady, everything is determined by God's will." The old abbot made it clear that he didn't want to say more, and looked like he was afraid of revealing the secret. He opened the door lightly, leaving me alone in a daze.
