The princess is soft!The sick villain is crazy

Chapter 13 Embrace

Chunrui was watching the night in the small attic next to her. When she heard the movement, she ran over, closed the window, and lit the lantern in front of the window: "Princess, why are you awake? The wind is too strong... Hey, why is the shaft broken?" I said that I clearly remembered to close the window, and it would still be blown open by the wind."

Shu Yao had a serious illness eight years ago, and since then she has developed a fear of the dark, and refuses to be accompanied when she sleeps, but she must light a lantern to fall asleep.

She was leaning on the bed, her head full of black hair falling like a waterfall, "What time is it?"

"It's only the fifth watch, Princess, it's not yet dawn," Chunrui said, "It's not yet time, you can still sleep for a while."

Shu Yaoyan said: "Forget it. This county mainly changes clothes."

What do you do when you sleep, and dream about that nasty apprentice again?This dream is still coherent, leaving aside other things for now, it is a fact that the apprentice with scars on his waist and abdomen snatched her away.

But the sea of ​​people is vast, how should she find this person out?You can't let the men take off their clothes one by one for her to check, right?

The man seemed to know everything about the royal family well. It is expected that he had been dormant in the capital for a long time. His martial arts were superb, and he was the most suspicious guard of the imperial guards in the palace.If he wanted to find out about this matter, he had to wait for his uncle to return to Beijing and let him figure out a way.

The little princess yawned, her eyes were black and blue, Chunrui helped her apply makeup, her face was full of distress.The princess has always been lazy, and she sleeps until the sun rises in the palace. Could it be that thinking about the eldest princess makes her so uncomfortable that she can't sleep at night?

Although Shu Yao was honored and favored, Chunrui knew in her heart that the emperor was busy with government affairs and could not be by her side like ordinary parents, and several empresses in the palace also criticized her secretly, and the princess was still lonely in her heart.

It would be great if she could find a husband who treats her sincerely.

Originally thought Xie Xiaoshizi was reliable, but what Xie Yanzhou did in Qin Yanghou's mansion that day, Chunrui was greatly disappointed.I heard that Qin Yanghou and the eldest princess were also very affectionate back then, didn't Qin Yanghou find someone else in the end?
The sky was about to light up, and the rainstorm outside the window had stopped, Matsuba yawned and walked out of the small attic, muttering, "It rained so heavily last night, why didn't I wake up?"

Chunrui laughed at her: "You are heartless, look, the Princess didn't sleep well."

The vegetarian food in the temple is tasteless, and there is a long ceremony in the morning.After reciting the scriptures, the sky was bright, and a group of monks came in a group, leaning on long sticks, and walked deeper into the mountain.

Seeing Shu Yao's puzzled face, Chunrui stopped a monk: "Little Master, what are you doing? The battle is so big."

"Yesterday, two people sneaked into Ning'an Temple to spend the night. One was captured during the night, and the other disappeared. They probably fell off a cliff. They are planning to go down the mountain to find someone."

The old man's voice was steady and powerful. When he saw the person coming, the monk's expression became more respectful, and he bowed his head and said, "Excuse me, elder."

Shu Yao followed suit and saluted: "Elder."

The eldest princess is a devout Buddhist disciple, and she would come to Ning'an Temple to practice for a period of time every year. After Shu Yao became sensible, she would come to Ning'an Temple to worship the eldest princess every year, and many elders in the temple also knew her.

"The princess speaks seriously," Elder Shuyi stroked his beard and smiled kindly, "The princess hasn't visited the back mountain of Ning'an Temple yet, right? After the rain, the air on the mountain should be fine. Do you want to walk with me?"

Shu Yao readily agreed.

Ning'an Temple occupies half of the mountainside, but the back mountain is a place for monks to practice, and it is generally not open to pilgrims, and Shu Yao has never been there.

After the rainstorm, the mountain became more and more quiet. Occasionally, a monk would pass by with a pole and say hello to Shu Yao and the others.

"Ning'an Temple is too big, and it's not easy to patrol the mountain when it rains heavily. There are often refugees who live in the temple during the interval." Looking at the mountain washed by the rain, the elder Shuyi showed compassion and recited Amitabha, "I don't know The benefactor who fell down the mountain, what is the situation now?"

Shu Yao felt that if she sneaked into the mountain in the middle of the night, she must have done something shameful, and she was to blame for falling off the cliff.

After walking a long way, Shu Yao rubbed her tired eyes, and when she looked up, she saw a thatched hut in front of the bamboo forest.The vigorous strokes outline the three characters "Qingyanzhai", which is calm and powerful like a hidden stone in a deep mountain.

She said softly: "Qingyanzhai?"

"This is the former site of Ning'an Temple. Ning'an Temple was burned down in the previous dynasty, leaving only this room. It was not until the establishment of the Yong Dynasty that the late emperor ordered people to rebuild Ning'an Temple."

Elder Shuyi laughed and said, "I used to paint here. After being burned several times here, the moss on the steps grew new green every year, so I named it after this. The old monk also took in a disciple who is quite accomplished in painting. Take Qingyan as his name. The "Qingyanzhai" on this plaque was written by him."

No wonder the inscription looks familiar.

He seemed to hear a sound, "Squeak", the young man walked out of the grass hut, his clothes fluttering, his body was tall and straight, and his words were as cold as a mountain mist: "Master?... Princess?"

Li Mingji? !

Shu Yao stared straight, with a look of disbelief.

Was Elder Shuyi talking about the painter named Qingyan just now?

"Hey, Ming Ji recognizes the little princess?" Elder Shuyi raised his eyebrows and stroked his long beard gently, "It's just right, I have to go back to the temple, and let Ming Ji do it for me to take the princess to the mountains."

Li Mingji said: "The disciple knows."

Shu Yao: "My princess..."

Elder Shu Yi, with a gray beard, walked steadily like flying. Before Shu Yao finished a sentence, he waved his hand and turned around to disappear.

Shu Yao and Li Mingji stared with wide eyes.

"Elder Shuyi is your master?"

"I am honored to be taught by Elder Shuyi, and the elders are regarded as masters and apprentices, not true disciples." Li Mingji said with a gentle smile.

Shu Yao: "...then who is Qingyan?"

"Mingji is forced to make a living, selling paintings under a fake name, and has a somewhat modest reputation in Beijing," Li Mingji said, "If the princess asked about a famous painter, it should be my servant?"

There is nothing more embarrassing than saying bad things about others behind their backs and being heard by the Lord.

Thinking of the comment of "being unknown", Shu Yao was so ashamed and indignant that she wanted to find a way to sneak in, but Li Mingji could still seriously agree with her "wisdom eyes and discerning pearls", thanks to his boasting.

Shu Yao, Shu Yao, you are the emperor's most beloved niece. In terms of manners and management, no one in the capital can match you. How can you lose your hand in front of a posturing scholar?

She said "Oh" coldly, not surprised, "No wonder your paintings are hung in the temple."

"It's Master's idea," Li Mingji smiled slightly, "Is the princess tired from walking, do you want to come in and rest?"

After walking all the way, Shu Yao's back was already sore and her legs were weak, so she refused to speak out because of her face.Li Mingji's steps were given just right, she raised her chin, and looked around rather critically, "That's fine."

"The moss is wet and slippery, the princess is careful."

She is not a child, how could she not even walk well?Shu Yao didn't care, and took a graceful step, stepping on the long skirt.

Chunrui exclaimed behind her: "Princess——"

Shu Yao only felt her waist tighten, and she was forced to slam into her cold embrace.
