The Taoist temple given to Princess Xinping looked magnificent from a distance. Once inside, Zhou Yao couldn't help but sigh with emotion at the environment that was different from ordinary Taoist temples and more like a princess's courtyard.
After all, she is a princess, even if she enters the Taoist sect and becomes a female crown, she will not lack enjoyment.
"Miss Zhou, please come this way." The maid leading the way also wears a female crown, but she speaks softly, walks lightly, and is very strict in every word and deed. Apart from her dress, she is actually no different from the maid in the princess palace.
Zhou Yao followed quietly and walked inside. After passing through the main hall and walking through the corridor for a while, she walked to a courtyard and finally saw the person she wanted to see this time.
Princess Xinping's raven hair is tied up high and fixed on the top of her head with a white jade headdress. A few strands of hair hang down on her cheeks. Her fair neck looks longer and slender due to the tied hair. Her chic and elegant Taoist robe outlines her graceful body.
Its curves, when viewed from a dozen steps away, are like looking at a bird with a graceful neck.
But when the princess who was pruning the flower branches stood up and looked towards her, her eyes as bright as the morning sun diluted the alienation of the person outside, and she suddenly regained the feeling of a wealthy begonia flower.
"Zhou Yao has met the princess." Zhou Yao went over and bowed down.
Princess Xinping said casually: "Get up."
"Hey, it's really hard for you to come see me. Apart from you, no one else comes."
Princess Xinping, standing among the flowers, really fulfilled the saying that people are more beautiful than flowers.
Zhou Yao withdrew her gaze and smiled: "Princess, you are joking. Unless other people come to see you, I really don't dare to disturb you."
"Oh? So you dare to do it now?"
Princess Xinping finally became a little interested and focused all her attention on Zhou Yao. She raised her eyebrows and said, "I heard that you are here to give me a gift. What gift is it? Bring it up and let me see it."
Zhou Yao had long been accustomed to Princess Xinping's attitude. She looked behind her with a smile and followed her in. The maid held a long box in her hand, which looked like calligraphy and painting.
Zhou Yao took the box from the hand of the maid who took a few steps forward, and raised her hand towards the princess.
The maid who had led her over just now stepped forward to take it and passed it to Princess Xinping.
Princess Xinping asked the maid to hold the box. She opened it and took out a framed painting from it. She unfolded it casually. She was not lacking in this kind of calligraphy and painting. If Zhou Yao had not been by her side often in the past six months, she would have
It may not be ignored.
But when I saw it, my eyes immediately lit up.
The painting was a picture of crabapples, and two poems were written. The handwriting was so familiar that it made Princess Xinping's nose sore and she almost shed tears.
"In the mountains, there are miasma and vegetation, and only the famous flowers are bitter and lonely."
"A beautiful smile between the bamboo fence and a mountain full of peaches and plums is always vulgar."
"I also know that creation has deep meaning, so I send a beautiful woman to the empty valley."
"Wealth and honor come naturally from heaven, and there is no need to wait for a golden plate to recommend a gorgeous house."
But in front of Zhou Yao, her maids, and her maids, Princess Xinping didn't want to lose her composure. She reluctantly suppressed the mixed feelings, but her eyes were fixed on the calligraphy and painting almost unblinking.
Emotions cannot be concealed at all.
Zhou Yao's expression was a little complicated, she sighed secretly, lowered her eyes and said, "This is my new calligraphy and painting. I know the princess likes it, so I came here this time and brought it to give to the princess."
"The ancients said that the begonia blooms like a brocade and has a graceful appearance. It is famous for its gorgeous appearance, fairy-like temperament and wealth. I don't want to paint begonias on behalf of the prince, which is better than real flowers." Xinpingjing City looked at this calligraphy and painting with obsession.
Sigh.
But when the joy gradually became less uncontrollable, and he became as smart as Xinping, he immediately realized that Zhou Yao might have other intentions when he came here this time.
Especially since she came here with Su Ziji's calligraphy and paintings, could she be asking for something?
"This is not the place to talk. You can talk as we walk with me." Princess Xinping reluctantly put the calligraphy and painting back into the box and ordered the maid to send the calligraphy and painting to the collection room for collection.
Zhou Yao's maid followed from a distance. Only Zhou Yao and Princess Xinping were nearby. Princess Xinping asked directly: "Are you here this time on behalf of the Duke?"
Zhou Yao didn't expect Princess Xinping to be so perceptive, but since she asked this question, she naturally couldn't hide it and nodded: "Yes."
"He asked you to come to me? He asked you to send me calligraphy and paintings?" Princess Xinping asked, staring at her closely, her voice trembling slightly.
Zhou Yao didn't seem to notice the trembling in her voice at all, and shook her head slightly: "Duke Dai just mentioned you to me, princess, and said that I could ask you for advice on one or two Taoist scriptures..."
"Tao Jing?" Princess Xinping was startled for a moment, and slowly slowed down her pace. She was a smart person, so she hesitated for a moment: "You come with me."
Since Su Ziji asked Zhou Yao to come find him, he would not just let her see how he was doing. That cruel person always had a purpose in doing things, maybe for the book of Taoism?
But why not give it directly to Zhou Yao, but let Zhou Yao get it through herself? Princess Xinping couldn't understand, and she didn't bother to think about it deeply.
The royal family has everything, but what she paid attention to in this Taoist book was that it was written by Su Ziji's perfect pen, and she really didn't pay much attention to the content.
When Zhou Yao saw Princess Xinping gesturing for her to follow her, she thought of the hint given by Su Ziji, so she followed her.
Entering Princess Xinping's bedroom directly, she took out a booklet from under the pillow and handed it over, casually saying: "This is it."
Zhou Yao had no choice but to take the booklet, politely opened a page and looked at it. She didn't see anything, but the mysterious voice inside her body suddenly screamed.
"Read it quickly!" she urged hurriedly.
This attitude shocked Zhou Yao. Her long crow-feathered eyelashes were pressed down, and there was a light shadow under her eyes. She looked at it and thought silently in her heart.
As Zhou Yao recited sentence by sentence, she felt that at this moment, she seemed to have sunk into a realm, and her whole body was wrapped in a ball of gentle water vapor. As the water vapor rose and fell, it was continuously absorbed, and there was also a feeling in her body.
A force is moving.
At the beginning, Zhou Yao could still think about the above thoughts, but as the pleasure brought to her became more than she could bear, the feeling that seemed to be happier than any day and moment in the past ten years, could be traced from every hair on her head.
, seeping out of every pore.
Not only was there an indescribable excitement in her heart, she could even feel the trembling of a mysterious presence.
This trembling feeling made Zhou Yao's consciousness move slightly, and for a moment, she touched its entity. This was the first time she felt its existence in her heart.
"Boom" Following this touch, Zhou Yao fell into a brief coma for an instant.
It seemed like a long time, it seemed like an instant, but when I saw Princess Xinping taking a cup of tea in front of me, the fragrance was fragrant, and she nodded with satisfaction, I knew it was indeed an instant.
Zhou Yao's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she put down the booklet. In fact, the booklet only had 30,000 words. She had already read it. She took the tea cup, gently blew away the foam, and took a sip. The green tea lingered between her teeth. She swallowed it slowly, and her mouth and tongue were filled with saliva.
"Does it taste good? This is Zixi Tea, the best in the history, called Immortal Tea!" Princess Xinping seemed very proud: "Even Yuexian Tea, Tianzhu Tea, Yashan Tea, and Fuliang Tea are all inferior to it."
