"If I go there, I will inevitably have to ask everyone in the temple to follow me and mobilize the people." The queen said hesitantly.
Seeing that she wanted to go, Xu Mingyi suggested, "If you don't want to reveal your identity, you can just ride in a carriage with me."
Aunt Jiang then said: "What you are wearing today is not ostentatious. When I put your hair back into a bun, no one will notice it."
Listening to these words, the queen nodded.
Then she would go and bring back a peace charm for Jingrong.
The group of people walked out of the eldest princess's mansion.
"Uncle Ji, you can go." Akui said to the driver of the carriage behind him.
Only then did the queen see two more carriages.
I couldn't help but ask: "I wonder what's inside the car -"
"I forgot to tell you, my second uncle is also going with you." Xu Mingyi said with a smile: "Every year when it snows for the first time in Beijing, he goes to the mountain behind Hanming Temple to make tea."
And if nothing unexpected happens, this will be the only time her second uncle goes out throughout the winter.
The Queen was slightly startled when she heard this.
After a moment, he looked in the direction of the carriage and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu is really elegant."
No movement was heard from the carriage.
The queen smiled with relief in her heart.
When he heard her voice, he didn't have any strange reaction. As a queen, she should be more calm. If she suddenly changed her words and returned to the palace, it would lead to speculation.
Aunt Jiang helped the queen get on the carriage at the Zhenguo Palace.
The interior of the car is spacious, even a group of five people does not feel crowded.
Akui took out a small basket from the small table, which contained a hand mirror, wooden comb and other items.
Aunt Jiang took off the queen's hair bun, combed it again, and quickly created the fussy bun that is now common among women in the capital.
After taking a step and measuring it between her buns for a moment, Grandma Jiang felt that it didn't suit her.
"I have a few pearl and green hairpins here, they should be more matching." Xu Mingyi picked a set of southern pearl hairpins from the box on the side and asked with a smile: "Madam, do you want to try it?"
Has he started to change his tune now?
The Queen smiled and nodded.
Xu Mingyi leaned forward slightly and gently inserted the hairpins into his hair.
It was obviously just such a small matter, and the girl's expression showed a different kind of seriousness.
Looking at the girl in front of her who was wearing a hairpin for her, the queen couldn't help but sigh deeply in her heart.
Such a girl...
No wonder it enlightened her Ayuan.
Don’t blame A Yuan for not having enough determination - if she were a man, she would also want to marry him.
She has a very good-looking face, but her temperament is also so lovable. Every move she makes makes people feel warm from the bottom of their heart, sincere and magnanimous. When she smiles, her eyes seem to have light, which makes everyone around her feel warm.
Like a little sun.
I really want a hug.
It must be fragrant, soft and warm...
As soon as this idea came to her mind, the Queen spit in her heart - Tsk, it's a good thing she wasn't a man. If she was, wouldn't she be in jail together?
Hanming Temple is on the mountain, and the carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain.
"Second Master, we're here." The coachman reined up his horse and said to the people in the carriage.
Xu Yun got off the carriage, looking as if he had just woken up, hunched his neck and yawned, put his hands in his wide sleeves, looked at the vast snow all around, and said in his mouth: "This is a year."
It’s colder than last year, and I won’t come again next year…”
While he was talking, he saw his niece helping someone out of the carriage out of the corner of his eye. He felt something was wrong, so he looked closely.
"Mr. Xu."
Their eyes met, Xu Yun looked slightly startled.
Then, he turned slightly to the side and said in a lukewarm tone: "It turns out to be the Queen."
He wouldn't dare to put his hope in asking his niece to discuss it with him before doing anything, but could she at least say hello to him?
...He didn't even shave today!
Xu Mingyi looked at him doubtfully.
Second uncle's face seems a little bad?
However, if you think about it carefully, it seems that it is normal for the second uncle to have a bad complexion?
Then he reminded me softly: "Second uncle, I don't want to disturb others today, so just call me Mrs. Xie in front of others."
Xu Yun snorted coldly in his heart.
Mrs. Xie?
This is not necessary.
After all, it was impossible for him to talk to the Queen in front of others.
Xu Yun walked up the mountain.
The road leading to the mountain is paved with stone steps, and most of the snow on it has been cleared away. However, even so, it is a bit slippery underfoot.
Aunt Jiang supported the queen and walked slowly.
Xu Mingyi also slowed down to accompany him.
Ah Kui, Ah Zhu, and two boys carrying a box and cage followed behind.
Halfway through the journey, Xu Mingyi raised her eyes and saw the shadow of her second uncle in front of her?
The person who is usually the most laid-back person actually changed his temper today?
The group lit incense in the front hall, received the peace talisman, and then went to the back mountain to make tea.
The Queen and Aunt Jiang sat in the pavilion and waited, while Xu Mingyi followed Xu Yun carrying a clay pot to pick fresh snow from the branches of plum blossoms.
Looking at the people under the tree, the queen had a smile on her lips.
At this time, a young monk, who was no more than ten years old and holding a plum blossom branch in his arms, came over and asked politely: "Amitabha, madam, can the young monk take a rest in the pavilion?"
He came here to fold plum blossoms with several senior brothers, but the senior brothers haven't come to find him yet. They probably went elsewhere to play.
He can only wait here.
The queen smiled and nodded: "Of course, this is a precious place for your temple, but I am bothering you."
"Amitabha, the donor's words are serious."
The young novice performed another Buddhist salute, then sat down in the pavilion to rest.
"Akui, come on, the snow here is thick——"
The girl's clear and sweet voice came from under the tree.
The little novice monk looked over subconsciously.
After a while, she couldn't help but admired: "My daughter and your esteemed husband are really like immortals, and they know so much about elegance. Madam is really lucky."
The queen was stunned when she heard this.
Before I could look back, under the red plum branches, a girl was wearing a silver-red cloak and a white jade plum hairpin, which was extremely eye-catching.
Not far away, there was the tall middle-aged man wearing a navy blue robe with an elegant and casual demeanor.
They really look like a father and daughter.
"Young master, I misunderstood." Aunt Jiang promptly reminded her from the side.
The queen smiled.
Isn't this a misunderstanding?
That's not her daughter.
That's not even her husband...
How could she be so lucky?
The young monk was a little surprised and said hurriedly: "This young monk is blind, please don't blame me, madam."
But when he looked at it, it was clear that this lady and the man under the tree were a perfect match...
It was at this time that a shout came: "Wuzhu, it's time to go back!"
The young monk hurriedly responded: "Brother, I am here!"
In response, he quickly stood up and saluted, saying, "Little monk, I'm leaving."
The queen nodded and watched the young monk leave with a smile.
It had indeed been a long time since she had been out. Such a lively and lovely little monk made her feel very precious.
The boy quickly set up the stove and lit a charcoal fire.
The snow collected was enough, so Xu Yun took her niece back to the pavilion to make tea.
