Chaos in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 66 Camellia in Buddhist Temple (2)

It's approaching September, and although it's not yet the flowering period of the camellia, the flower buds have already climbed up the flowering branches.

Even so, the camellias in Dong'an Temple are already full of tourists.

In Andong Temple, camellias are planted in the east and west courtyards. After winter, the camellias are in full bloom and the ground is bright red, which is known as a famous scene in Jiankang.

But since the queen mother arrived, the monks in the temple led all the pilgrims and visitors to Beiyuan, and these two gardens were prepared to be exclusive to the queen mother.

Empress Dowager Chu Suanzi, surrounded by a group of court ladies and eunuchs, led the way by the presiding officer, first went to the main hall to worship the Buddha, and closed her eyes and closed her hands to recite scriptures silently for three moments.

Then go straight to Dongyuan.

The camellias hadn't bloomed yet, and the flower buds were only the size of a thumb. Chu Suanzi thought about them for a year, and finally saw them again.

"Chunyan, hurry up and invite Shi Shilang to come, and say that the Ai family invited him to enjoy the flowers."

The servant girl Chunyan responded and went.

Chu Suanzi approached a camellia, smelled the slight fragrance, and gently stroked it with her hand lovingly. At this moment, she just pretended that no one was there, and said in a low voice: "Shi Lang, Shi Lang, you are so handsome, I haven't seen you for two days, I want to kill my family."

Behind the wall, Guan Ziyang and Wei Yiqing saw such a scene through the cracks in the bricks, and heard such words, they immediately stared at each other.

This queen mother was born beautiful and charming, she is only 28 years old, I am afraid that she is thinking of spring...

Suddenly, Guan Ziyang felt a strong breath gradually approaching!

It's Shi Kun.

I have innate qi to protect my body, but the sweater is not clear to the fifth-rank realm. Although it is separated by a wall, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be discovered by Shi Kun, a first-rank master.

So he quickly grabbed Wei Yiqing's hand, Wei Yiqing was startled, and before he could utter an exclamation, Guan Ziyang covered his mouth with his other hand from behind.

Wei Yiqing turned his head to look at him with wide eyes in horror, Guan Ziyang didn't explain, and a ray of innate energy in his hand passed over.

Only then did Wei Yiqing realize that Guan Ziyang was protecting her from being discovered.

So the two continued to look out of the wall through the cracks in the bricks.

"Chen Shikun, pay my respects to the Queen Mother."

"There's no one else here, so what's the name of the Queen Mother?" Chu Suanzi smiled foolishly.

Shi Kun turned to look at the servant girl Chunyan, who quickly turned around and pretended to admire the camellia.

Shi Kun stood up and said: "What else can I call you the queen mother? The queen mother is the emperor, and I am a minister. I should observe the etiquette of the emperor and ministers."

He was talking, but he was already approaching Chu Suanzi, only a fist away from her, with a smirk on his face, he didn't look like he was talking about the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers.

Chu Suanzi lowered his head, turned his back, and was facing the wall where Guan Ziyang was, and could see the shyness on his face.

Guan Ziyang thought: "It's no wonder that the Empress Dowager Feng Shikun became the servant of the Huangmen... so that I can recruit him into the palace from time to time?"

Then I thought about it: "This Huangmen servant has been working for more than a month, the queen mother may have already succeeded?"

Seeing that Chu Suanzi was shy, Shi Kun smiled and said, "The queen mother asked me to come and admire the flowers. I don't know whether to appreciate the budding camellia, or a delicate and beautiful peony?"

Chu Suanzi smiled happily: "Of course I want to appreciate the camellia. The peony is about to end its flowering period, so how can I catch Shi Shilang's eyes."

"The queen mother is joking. This king of peonies is in his prime, but he is so extravagant that people in the world only dare to look at her from a distance. No one dares to get close to her beauty."

Shi Kun's blue eyes showed affection, and he smiled, staring at Chu Suanzi.

Chu Suanzi also had affectionate eyebrows and red cheeks, but fortunately, he had been in court for many years and was dignified, so he refrained from doing some shameful actions.

Chu Suanzi said: "Shi Shilang, this year's camellias are probably better than last year's. At this moment, I am happy in my heart. I want to hear your Hu Jia."

Shi Kun took out a Hujia from his sleeve, and said with a smile, "I have prepared it, please comment on it with the Queen Mother."

Then, a piece of melodious and sad music sounded, making people feel like they are in the desert grassland, the desolate Gobi.

After the song, Chu Suanzi felt a little melancholy in his heart, and said: "Shi Lang is a beard, with extraordinary attainments in martial arts and excellent talents. He is really like a perfect man. You are the only one in the world who can overshadow Jiangdong's talents."

"But it's a pity that you are still a fool..."

Hearing this, Wei Yiqing subconsciously turned his head to look at Guan Ziyang, and said in his heart, "It's called Xi Shi in the eye of the beholder. This Shi Kunjun is handsome, but how can he overshadow the man in front of me..."

Guan Ziyang was thinking in his heart: "This Shi Kun is flirting with Chu Suanzi, I'm afraid there is some kind of conspiracy!"

Shi Kun said: "It doesn't matter if you're a Hu or a Han, as long as you share a common heart, why should you be afraid of the worldly eyes?"

Chu Suanzi let out a long sigh, turned his head and said softly: "It's fine if it's an ordinary girl, but I can't..."

Seeing that Chu Suanzi was worried, Shi Kun quickly reached out and tore off a camellia flower bone, trying to divert Chu Suanzi's attention.

Sure enough, Chu Suanzi was shocked, and said angrily, "Shi Shilang, what are you doing!"

"The empress dowager calms down. I just heard that this decoction of tea flowers is a tea drink. After drinking, it can calm the mind and calm the mind. It also has the effect of nourishing the skin and removing wrinkles. So I want to help the empress dowager take it off and bring it back to the palace to enjoy."

Chu Suanzi's anger disappeared immediately.

She shyly said: "Shi Lang, you are good at destroying flowers with your hands, but don't you never pity the fragrance and cherish the jade?"

Shi Kun said with a smile: "I don't spare flowers, but I cherish the body of the Empress Dowager. If this camellia can help the Empress Dowager, who is busy with everything, to relieve her worries and gain a moment of peace, he will die well."

Chu Suanzi smiled again: "People say that the Hu people are fierce and brutal, and they like to kill, but Shi Lang is a master who eats honey with his mouth and is as tender as water."

Seeing that the time was right, Shi Kun raised his arm and wanted to hug Chu Suanzi into his arms.

Chu Suanzi quickly dodged, furious: "Shi Shilang! What do you want to do! Please pay attention to your identity!"

After finishing speaking, he said to Chunyan, the servant girl beside him: "The Ai family is not in the mood to appreciate flowers today, so get up the sedan chair and go back to the palace."

Shi Kun was not afraid, still smiling, and bowed deeply behind Chu Suanzi: "I am waiting for the Qi Yulin army to open the way for the Queen Mother."

Seeing the queen mother leave, Shi Kun smiled viciously on the spot: "The way the two-horned sheep wants to refuse and welcome, makes me really emotional. Every time I go away in such a rage, two days pass. Didn't you tell me to meet you, hehehe..."

As soon as the Queen Mother and Shi Kun left, Guan Ziyang finally let go of his tense nerves.

It was the first time for me to circulate the innate qi in my body into another person's body, and I was really tired.

After loosening the sweater, he saw sweat on his forehead, a few strands of hair stuck to his face because of being wet, his face was flushed, and his breathing was short of breath.

Guan Ziyang was taken aback, could it be because of his innate energy, what side effects could it be?

He hurriedly said, "Yiqing, what's wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable?"

Wei Yi hurriedly said: "It's okay, I'm fine, Junior Brother..."

Just now, the two of them peeked at the private meeting between Chu Suanzi and Shi Kun through the crack in the wall.

Guan Ziyang was behind Wei Yiqing, holding Wei Yiqing with one hand to give her the innate energy, while pushing Wei Yiqing against the wall, Guan Ziyang's chest and Wei Yiqing's back were tightly stacked together.

Guan Ziyang was only thinking about Shi Kun's matter, and he didn't know that the two of them were already in the act of not kissing each other.

But for a lady like Wei Yiqing, this is tantamount to being eaten tofu by Guan Ziyang.

Guan Ziyang didn't mention it, so she had no choice but to pretend not to know...
