Three hundred and seventieth eight chapters embarrassed
The handsome monk took Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang into the eldest princess's mansion. As soon as he stepped through the door, Yun Shang smelled a faint scent of sandalwood. Although it was very light, it made Yun Shang frown slightly.
eyebrow.
The eldest princess has always regarded herself as a believer in Buddhism. There is a Buddha statue in the house and the smell of sandalwood is nothing new. However, even the yard has the smell of sandalwood, which is the first time Yun Shang has seen it.
Passing through the courtyard planted with bamboos, there is an extremely elegant flower hall. There are only tables and chairs made of rosewood in the flower hall. A statue of Guanyin hangs in the center, and there are portraits related to Buddha everywhere.
The handsome monk made a Buddhist salute to Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang with their hands together, and said softly, "Amitabha, Prince Rui and Princess Rui sit down for a moment. The eldest princess is chanting sutras in the Buddhist hall. She will arrive in a moment. The poor monk is here
Go and invite me."
Chanting sutras? Yun Shang raised her eyebrows. Although she did not believe in Buddhism, she had stayed in the temple for seven or eight years in name. Generally, people who believed in Buddhism chanted sutras and worshiped Buddha in morning and evening classes, but this was at the end of the afternoon.
, morning class is too late, evening class is too early, which sutra is this recited?
Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan sat down, and the maid hurriedly put the tea cups up. Yun Shang glanced lightly and saw that the maid aside was clearing away the cups on the table next to her while the tea was being served.
The tea in the tea cup has lost its steam, it seems that it has been for a while.
Yun Shang looked back and secretly guessed that there was tea in the flower hall, and there must have been guests before. However, after the guests left, the servants would definitely take away the teacups. This teacup was still placed, indicating that the guests
Before the guests left, the maid took the tea cups away while they were not paying attention. The eldest princess probably didn't want them to know who this guest was.
Yun Shang picked up the teacup and blew on the steaming tea in the cup, took a sip, turned to Luo and said softly, "The tea here is very unique, the princess has no tea flavor at all, but it has a refreshing fragrance.
Very.”
Luo Qingyan smiled and shook Yun Shang's hand, "If you like it, ask the eldest princess later how this tea is made. When you return home, you can have someone make it for you to drink and play with.
"
"If this tea is made well, it is also a skill. I don't know if the eldest princess is willing to give up her love." Yun Shang smiled and put down the tea cup.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a gentle female voice with a smile coming over, "This is not a skill. This tea is very simple to make. If Chang'er likes it, I can tell you now."
When Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan heard the words, they both looked in the direction where the sound came from, and saw the eldest princess walking out from the side, sitting on the main seat, and said with a smile, "This tea is just made of bamboo.
It is made by drying the new leaves that emerge after the spring rain. The abbot liked to drink it when I was at Thousand Buddha Temple, so I got used to drinking it. It felt very refreshing, and I drank it every year at home.
Make some."
Yun Shang looked at the eldest princess with a smile, her eyes paused slightly, but she quickly lowered her eyes to hide the astonishment in her eyes, "It turns out to be bamboo leaves. Just now, Chang'er was still guessing what they were made of, but now I hear my aunt say this
As soon as I said it and then drank it, I felt that the fragrance of bamboo really hit my face."
The eldest princess found it helpful and said with a smile, "It's fine if you like Chang'er. When I go back later, I'll ask the housekeeper to pack some for you to take back." After saying that, she turned her eyes and looked at the handsome-browed monk who came with her.
He said, "Go and pack some bamboo leaf tea for the princess."
The monk responded and retreated. Yun Shang narrowed her eyes slightly, butler? It was quite refreshing to have such a handsome monk as a butler.
Luo Qingyan coughed lightly, and Yun Shang quickly came to her senses. She took the gift box from Qianliu and delivered it to the eldest princess in person. With a smile on her face, she said, "It's great that I can appear here to talk to my aunt now."
Thank you very much, aunt, for interceding for the prince in front of your majesty. This is a small gift prepared by the prince for my aunt, and it is not respectful."
Hearing this, the eldest princess said with a smile in her eyes, "You two are really polite. I actually didn't do anything. I just mentioned it casually when I entered the palace to talk to His Majesty. This imperial edict is His Majesty's.
Yes, you have to thank Your Majesty. Besides, this is what I should do. Don’t be so polite in the future, it will seem disrespectful. I am your aunt and your mother’s handkerchief. I will take care of you.
It’s what should be done.”
Luo Qingyan curled up her lips and said calmly, "In this royal family, I have seen too many brothers fighting each other, father and son becoming enemies. There are many people who are the icing on the cake. Like my aunt, who pays so much attention to family ties, it is the widow who provides help in times of need."
When the eldest princess heard this, she also sighed softly, "Although I was born in the royal family, I am fortunate to be a woman. And I don't have too many thoughts that I shouldn't have. In this life, I am at ease with the Ancient Buddha of Qingdeng."
Yun Shang sneered in her heart, but remained calm on her face. She and Luo Qingyan chatted with the eldest princess for a few words, then stood up and left, "We have received your aunt's post tomorrow. I won't bother your aunt again the next day. Today
I'll take my leave now."
The eldest princess said a few words to persuade them to stay, and then asked the handsome monk to send them out.
Yun Shang got on the carriage, and a meaningful smile emerged from the corner of her mouth. Luo Qingyan saw it, and said curiously, "I have always felt that you were smiling a little strangely in the flower hall just now. Could it be that I discovered something?"
"
Yun Shang smiled and said in a low voice, "You leave two secret guards to guard outside the eldest princess's mansion and see who will come out later. I will tell you when I get back to the mansion."
Back in the mansion, Luo Qingyan asked again, and Yun Shang smiled and said, "This eldest princess claims to be a believer in Buddhism, but today she seems to have been caught off guard by us and was unable to prepare in time. There are people everywhere in the mansion."
flaw."
"Oh?" Luo Qingyan was a little confused, "I didn't see anything."
Yun Shang smiled, took off the cloak and handed it to Qian Liu, then personally helped Luo Qingyan take off the cloak and handed it to Qian Liu, then pulled Luo Qingyan to sit down on the soft couch, and ordered Qian Zui to open the window
He opened it, brought in a few more braziers, and then said with a smile, "You are not very familiar with temples, so of course you don't know. I grew up in Ningguo Temple since I was eight years old, although my grandfather took me away from Ningguo Temple.
But I occasionally go to the temple to stay for a few days, and I am very clear about some of the basic rules in the temple."
"The time we went was not the time for chanting sutras. This is just the eldest princess's excuse. I don't know if the prince noticed it. When we entered the flower hall, there was a cup of tea on another table.
There was also tea on the table. It meant that there had been guests before and the tea had not been collected, so the guests should not have left. When the eldest princess came out, her bun was a little messy and she was hastily tidied up. When I was giving the gift, I smelled something on her.
It smells like aphrodisiac, and there are some marks on the neck that haven’t been covered up yet.”
After a pause, Yun Shang said, "In the eldest princess's house, it is definitely impossible for someone else to drug the eldest princess, so it must be the eldest princess who drugged someone else and had sex with that person."
Luo Qingyan pondered for a moment after hearing the words, and then said, "You mean, when we went there, the eldest princess was doing some ulterior things in the mansion with the people who came before us?" After a pause, he said, "So you
That’s why you asked me to leave two secret guards guarding the gate of the eldest princess’s mansion?”
Yun Shang nodded lightly, "Since we have prepared tea to entertain you, we must be people of high status. I also want to see who has such dignity to let the eldest princess do such a thing.
"
The secret guard hadn't come back yet, so Yun Shang wasn't in a hurry and just ordered Qianliu Qianzui to prepare dinner. After about an hour, the secret guard came back.
"Reporting to the prince and concubine, my subordinates were squatting outside the eldest princess's mansion for more than an hour before they saw Lord Situ Liu Jin walking out of the eldest princess's mansion." The secret guard reported in a deep voice.
"Liu Jin?" Yun Shang turned around and looked at Luo Qingyan, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. Yun Shang never expected that it was Liu Jin's.
After a long while, Yun Shang couldn't help but chuckle, "Liu Jin should be in his sixties or seventies now, he is getting older and stronger, and the housekeepers in the eldest princess's house are all such handsome monks.
Liu Jin, who is very old, is interested, but it is a big sacrifice."
Luo Qingyan was also a little surprised, but he quickly covered up his surprise, and after a moment of silence he said, "I'm afraid that Lao Qi's wings are hard now and he wants to kick Liu Jin. Liu Jin had also
It was only because of Concubine Liu that he rose to prominence. The foundation of the Liu family was not deep. If Lao Qi tried to stumbling against him, it would be difficult for Liu Jin to gain a foothold in the court. Liu Jin wanted to send Liu Yiyi to the palace, but fortunately there was someone in the harem.
He was able to speak in front of Lao Qi, but Liu Yiyi was given to Lao Qi as a concubine by His Majesty. Liu Jin was desperate, so he wanted to join forces with the eldest princess in order to gain a foothold in the court. The eldest princess
I just hope that the more people in the court will support me, the better. Although Liu Jin is at the end of his strength, he is still a Situ no matter what, and he still has Liu Yinfeng as his adopted son, so the eldest princess is naturally happy."
Yun Shang nodded and sneered, "It's the two of them who work together."
"The eldest princess is afraid that Liu Jin will regret his chess, so she does not hesitate to drug Liu Jin and have such a relationship with Liu Jin to make the two of them become grasshoppers on a rope. It seems that the eldest princess is really ambitious, so
, you must be careful when you come into contact with the eldest princess in the future, I'm afraid she is as scheming as anyone else." Luo Qingyan said calmly.
Yun Shang responded, pondered for a moment, and then whispered, "I think I can let the Seventh Prince know about this matter."
Luo Qingyan's eyes lit up when he heard what Yun Shang said, and the corners of his mouth curled up. He lowered his head and patted Yun Shang's head, "You little fox. If Lao Qi finds out, I'm afraid there will be a good show."
.”
Yun Shang pursed her lips and smiled. They have been here in Ningguo for so long, and they are always being plotted by others. Now it is their turn to watch the show. (To be continued)
