The Magic Treasure Festival is also called Laba among the people, and there is also the custom of serving Laba porridge in temples in Donghuan. Mingruo got up early, not to dress up, but to have breakfast. After breakfast, Mingruo sat in front of the dressing table, left
Her eyelids kept twitching. In the past, Mingruo would have believed in science and thought it was caused by abnormal excitement of peripheral nerves. But since she traveled to this world, her existence itself has not been scientific.
The more his eyelids twitched, the more panicked Mingruo felt. He had a bad feeling: "Zisu, just give me a single snail bun."
"Aren't you going to accompany the concubine to make porridge? Wouldn't it be nice to dress up too casually?" Zi Su hesitated.
"It's okay, just do as the princess said." Si Haochen answered.
When the prince spoke, Zisu had no choice but to follow the princess's instructions and tie her hair into the simplest bun. She only chose a white jade hairpin and pressed it on her bun. Mingruo casually took the white jade earrings she bought a few days ago and put them on. Her makeup looked like this.
Simple, the complicated palace clothes prepared by Aunt Dong were not put to use, and she only wore a coat and skirt that was convenient for movement.
Mingruo's outfit didn't look like a princess, not even a member of a high-ranking official's family. Aunt Dong was a little uneasy: "Princess, my wife, it's not good for us to dress up so simply, isn't it?"
"Aren't you going to the temple? It's wrong to dress in fancy clothes." Mingruo was very satisfied with her outfit. She was afraid that Aunt Dong would add something else, so she quickly put on her cloak and ran away.
Mingruo and Si Haochen first went to the palace gate to meet with the ceremonial guards of Concubine Shen, and then went to Chongsheng Temple. There were ceremonial guards accompanying them along the way, and the carriage moved very slowly. By the time they could see Chongsheng Temple, they were already there.
It's noon. Dignitaries and dignitaries often visit here. The road up the mountain is very wide, and carriages can go directly to the temple gate.
The abbot of Chongsheng Temple greeted him at the door. The old monk was wearing a blue-gray monk's robe and a mud-colored cassock. His eyebrows and beard were both white. If he held a peach in his hand, he would be the birthday boy in the New Year painting.
Concubine Shen exchanged a few words with the abbot. The old monk's eyes fell on Mingruo, and surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Toffee, Prince, Princess, please come inside." The abbot led everyone into the temple.
Shen Bichi wore a pink palace outfit today and wore an eight-treasure glazed flower crown. She accompanied Concubine Shen and looked more like a princess than Mingruo.
Concubine Shen said she was here to make porridge, but in fact she just added some sugar to the cooked porridge and stirred it symbolically, and then a young novice went to make porridge. There were many pilgrims today. After paying homage to the Buddha statue in the main hall, they went to the special
The Guanyin Pavilion was prepared for the royal family. It not only enshrines Bodhisattva, but also has a wing for resting.
After the tiring journey and the hard work of making porridge, the Dowager Empress went to the side room to rest after offering incense. Ming Ruo also followed the gourd and went to rest.
Although it was a side room prepared for the royal family, the furnishings were very simple. As soon as Ming Ruo sat down at the table, a young novice brought hot water.
Zi Su made tea and poured a cup for Mingruo: "Princess, please drink a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up."
"Okay." Mingruo picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Si Haochen lifted the curtain and walked in. "Didn't the prince discuss Buddhism with the abbot? The discussion was over so quickly?"
"Yes." Si Haochen nodded, "There is a patch of green calyx plum blossoms blooming well behind the Hong En Tower."
"oh."
Si Haochen raised his eyebrows. Every time this girl heard about flowers blooming somewhere in the palace, she would go and see them. Why did she look so uninterested today: "Don't you want to go and see them?"
"Hmm... I don't want to." Mingruo put her hand on her chest, "I'm a little uneasy, I always feel like something is going to happen."
"With me here, what are you afraid of?" Si Haochen poured himself a cup of tea.
"I still feel safer in the room." Mingruo has always believed in the principle of 'if you don't seek death, you won't die'.
"Then stay here." Si Haochen realized for the first time that this girl was very timid.
Lunch was a vegetarian dish prepared by the temple. Since it was the Dharma Treasure Festival, everyone had a bowl of Laba porridge. The vegetarian food was very light, and Mingruo also ate in a very disciplined manner - chewing slowly and eating only the two dishes in front of him.
Si Haochen picked up a piece of shiitake mushroom and put it on Mingruo's plate: "This mushroom tastes good."
"Oh." Mingruo ate the piece of shiitake mushrooms and then remembered that there were Concubine Shen and Shen Bichi at the same table, so she could only say in hindsight, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Si Haochen was also speechless. This girl was always slow to respond today.
After lunch, Concubine Shen said she wanted to go to Hong'en Pagoda to offer incense. Not far from the Guanyin Pavilion, she said she was feeling unwell and asked Mingruo and Shen Bichi to go in her stead.
Mingruo had a MMP in her heart, but she didn't know whether to say it or not. If you offer incense and do it instead, if you are so insincere, the Buddha will definitely not bless you! Fortunately, Si Haochen said to accompany her, so that she could feel at ease.
Hong En Tower has seven floors in total. Tower bells are hung on the eaves of each floor, making a tinkling sound when the wind blows. Together with the plum forest behind it, it is very artistic.
After offering incense, Shen Bichi said she wanted to go to Plum Grove for a walk. Mingruo didn't really want to go, but when they got here, Shen Bichi was accompanied by a personal maid of Princess Shen... Mingruo had no choice but to go together.
All the green-calyx plum blossoms were in full bloom, and there was a faint fragrance floating in the air. Shen Bichi walked straight into the depths of the plum forest, and suddenly stopped, his keen sixth sense and the medical system came online at the same time: "There is a problem here!"
Si Haochen heard this and quickly took Mingruo's hand. Suddenly, two men in black flew down. One rushed towards Si Haochen with a sword, and the other rushed towards Shen Bichi. Si Haochen held Mingruo in one hand. With one hand, he pulled out the long soft sword from his waist and fought with the man in black.
After just a dozen rounds, Si Haochen felt that something was getting more and more wrong. His internal strength could not be condensed, and his movements became slower and slower. In just a moment, Si Haochen understood that he must have been plotted against him, so he fought with him. The man in black seemed to be the same way. Si Haochen fought and retreated, his eyes getting colder and colder.
Shen Bichi was chased and chopped by the man in black. The man in black didn't seem to want to kill her with a sword, but instead attacked her clothes and hair. After just a few blows, she was chopped until her hair was messy and her clothes were ragged. Shen Bichi I felt miserable. The original plan was for a man in black to attack my cousin, and for the man in black to make Princess Qinghuang look embarrassed, while I would block the knife for my cousin at the critical moment.
The situation was completely out of control at this time. Shen Bichi was entangled by the man in black and could not get close to Si Haochen to block the knife. The assassin who attacked Si Haochen could not wait for someone to block the knife, so he could only cautiously fight with Si Haochen. The main reason why Haochen fought so hard was that Shen Bichi's gorgeous clothes and accessories looked more like Princess Yun than the simple Ming Ruo. The assassin mistook the wrong person.
The man in black winked at Mingruo, telling her to quickly block the knife. Mingruo was racing against time to prepare the antidote for the 'bone-corroding incense' and had no time to look at him. Of course, even if Mingruo saw the assassin, his eyes cramped. 'It's no use, she has no idea what their plan is.
