After crossing, she became the favorite of the general's mansion

Chapter 25
The so-called master Bianji in Niangqin's mouth led them to the main hall, where there were several golden bodhisattvas and a few young monks meditating and chanting scriptures.

Xi Yaru knelt on the futon and paid homage devoutly, while Liu Yingzi and Liu Chenfeng were not so sincere, they cast their eyes everywhere.

After burning incense, Xi Yaru began to discuss accommodation with the monks.

A soft female voice came from outside the hall, "Little monk, I'm here to listen to your story again, little monk, come out."

Liu Yingzi looked at the source of the voice. It was a handsome girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing simple clothes and smiling innocently.

A young monk stood up from the futon and walked to Master Bianji, "Master."

Master Bianji nodded slightly, and the little monk left with the girl.

Are these monks so versatile, chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha every day, and telling stories to guests?
After arranging the accommodation, a young novice led them to their respective rooms, which were very clean and elegant, with only simple wooden tables, beds and quilts and other basic necessities.

After not staying in the room for long, Liu Chenfeng came over and called Liu Yingzi to go out for a walk.

After greeting their mother, the two began to wander around, getting familiar with the environment around the temple by the way.

"Sister, why do you think mother suddenly wants to come to the temple? Don't you usually come here during our monthly rest?"

"I don't know, anyway, I'm casual, and I don't really want to go to school." Liu Yingzi didn't care at all about why she came to live in the temple, and her focus was that she didn't have to go to school!

"Haha, I don't like going to school either, I hope to have the opportunity to go to the battlefield with my father to learn more." Liu Chenfeng was more interested in martial arts since he was a child, and he also envied his father, yearning for the battlefield.

"Don't you, the battlefield is so dangerous." Liu Yingzi still hopes that Liu Chenfeng can be a civil servant in the future, the war is so dangerous.

"It's dangerous, but a man is going to protect his family and country! How can he be afraid of danger!" Liu Chenfeng was full of enthusiasm, and planned to walk on the road of his father as a general in the future, guarding the border and protecting the safety of the people in one side.

"It's fine if you like it." He's still young, and what's going to happen in the future is uncertain, Liu Yingzi won't argue with him, "There seems to be a small pavilion in front, let's go there and have a rest."

"Is my sister tired? Then go and sit down."

As soon as the two walked to the pavilion, they found that there were already people inside. It was the girl they met in the main hall and the young monk who was called out.

When Liu Yingzi and the others entered the small pavilion, the little monk was about to leave.

"Little master, is the story finished?" Liu Yingzi asked casually as he passed by the little monk.

"Little benefactor." The little monk didn't answer her question, but just greeted her politely and left blankly.

"So cold." Liu Yingzi pursed her lips and shrugged boringly.

"He's always like this, little sister, don't take it for granted."

"Sister, I'm Liu Yingzi, and this is my brother Liu Chenfeng." Liu Yingzi introduced that she had a good first impression of this girl, but she was willing to get to know each other.

"Qixiu, Xu Qixiu." The girl also reported her name.

Anyway, I had nothing to do, so I started chatting.

"Sister Qixiu, do you often come to listen to that little master tell stories? About what?" Liu Yingzi was quite curious about this.

"His Dharma name is Mengshen, just call him Little Monk Mengshen." Qixiu sat on the stone bench, resting her chin on her hands, "When I'm not busy, I'll come to him to listen to stories. He seldom goes down the mountain. Can tell Buddhist stories."

"Oh? I think little master Mengshen doesn't seem to care about people." Liu Yingzi just said hello, didn't he just make fun of it?
"He just grew up in a temple. He has a relatively indifferent personality and is not good at socializing, but he is very kind." Qixiu immediately argued for him.

"Oh~ that's it~" Liu Yingzi prolonged the ending a little bit, she seemed to have discovered something serious, "How long have sister Qixiu and Little Master Mengshen known each other?"

"It's been a long time." Qixiu's gaze began to go blank, as if recalling something far away, "I was only ten years old when I was picking herbs. I accidentally rolled down the hillside and twisted my feet. I couldn't stand up at all. I didn't see you until it was dark. Someone came, the night was dark, and there were many beasts screaming around me. I was terrified. It was the little monk who came to me like a god, pressed my feet to relieve the pain, and carried me home. Come to him often and ask him to tell me stories."

Seeing her smiling so beautifully, Liu Yingzi probably had a guess in her heart, but why is she a quiet little monk with six roots?
After chatting for an unknown amount of time, when it was time for Miss Qixiu to go home, Liu Yingzi saw that it was getting late, so she went back to the residence with Liu Chenfeng.

Except for the occasional pilgrims who come to the temple, they are monks, and there are not many things for entertainment.

Therefore, during the few days they lived in the monastery, Liu Yingzi and Liu Chenfeng went to the little monk with Qixiu every day to listen to stories.

Qixiu is very good at cooking, and every time she comes here, she will bring some snacks made by herself. At first, Liu Yingzi and Liu Chenfeng asked her to ask, so they shirked and ate some.

When they returned to the General's Mansion, Qixiu came to see them off for a short distance.

After descending the mountain, the three people discovered that Kyoto had been swept by a piece of breaking news—Princess Chang'an had returned to the palace!

Now the streets and alleys are talking about this topic. After all, it was the disappearance of the princess back then, but it was a major event that shocked the whole country. It disappeared quietly in the palace.

Now eight years have passed, and he returned to the palace without incident.

When the three returned home, Liu Ruzheng was already waiting at home.

Fortunately, at that time, because she was afraid that Yingzi would be hurt by the rumors, Xiaoru asked Xiaoru to take the child to the temple first to clean up.

As soon as they left, Changle had already come to ask Liu Ruzheng how to teach his daughter, even acting like a frivolous man in the street without shame.

Although Liu Ruzheng didn't really believe that kissing could save people, he didn't allow other people to abuse his daughter like this. The two immediately fought, a civil servant who played with words, and a military officer who had fought in the battlefield. The result was obvious. Changle was beaten miserably. Miserably, the two of them could not understand each other at first, but now the conflict has escalated.

However, both of them had their own concerns, so naturally they would not publicize the matter, and the rumors of Liu Yingzi and Changting had long been forgotten because of the news of Princess Chang'an's return to the palace.

Therefore, when Xi Yaru and the two children returned to the General's Mansion, Liu Ruzheng only told them that in order to celebrate Princess Chang'an's safe return to the palace, there will be a palace celebration to attend in four days.

Liu Yingzi was still a little excited when she was in the palace for the first time, but later found it too boring, and after the incident in Yongning last time, she didn't have a good impression of the emperor, and she didn't even like the palace, so she didn't like this so-called celebration. Not caring at all.

On the second day after returning from the mountain, the two brothers and sisters started to go to school as usual, and went to the gate of the palace in the morning to pick up the wrong road as they had agreed before.

"Liu Yingzi, why haven't you been to school these days?" Wen Qi got on the carriage on the road, hesitated for a while, and still asked his own doubts. He was actually a little afraid that Liu Yingzi would find him annoying.

"Oh, my mother took us to the temple on the mountain to worship the Bodhisattva these few days. My brother and I have heard the story for a few days." Liu Yingzi yawned and continued, "The coachman comes to pick you up every day, right?"

"En." Wen Qilu nodded heavily, he really didn't know how to be able to meet Liu Yingzi, he was kind to him, and he was so meticulous, even if she left to go to the temple, he still ordered the coachman to pick him up every day.

"That's good. Do you want to go to the street with me and my brother after school?" Liu Yingzi asked. In fact, many students will not return to the mansion immediately after school, but go shopping in the street. Conditions, I guess I haven't shopped, even if I sneak out, I definitely haven't bought anything, so Liu Yingzi still hopes to take him out together, even if I don't buy anything, it can be regarded as a refreshment.After all, he had such a depressed life in the palace, it was always right to go out for a walk.

"I still won't go." Wen Qilu tightened and loosened his hands on his lap.

He made this decision after some ideological struggle, but he regretted it as soon as he said it, he wanted to go.

"There is nothing interesting in the imperial palace. You don't want to go back to study every day, do you?" Liu Yingzi suddenly thought of this possibility. Many ancient people really enjoyed reading.

"No, I don't study." Wen Qilu shook his head hastily. In fact, he still loves to read books, but he can't enter the Zangshu Pavilion, which is guarded every day.

"Then go out for a stroll together, idle is idle." Liu Yingzi patted him on the shoulder.

"Okay." Wen Qilu breathed a sigh of relief, he was willing to follow Liu Yingzi.

During the recess today, Liu Yingzi was thinking about where to go after school, when suddenly a classmate came to her and said that someone was looking for her.

I thought it was Liu Chenfeng looking for something to do with him, but he didn't see him at all when he went out, but saw Changting with an awkward face.

"It's not you looking for me, is it?" Liu Yingzi was full of doubts, what could he do by looking for him?

"Well, I'm sorry for what happened a few days ago." After thinking about it, Changting felt that he had gone too far, and he always felt uncomfortable if he didn't come to apologize.

Thinking of Liu Yingzi's shocked expression when he was slapped, he felt that he had committed a heinous crime. Although Liu Chenfeng also beat him later, he still felt in his heart that he owed Liu Yingzi.

"Oh, I see." Liu Yingzi's tone was calm, and she turned and went back to the classroom.

I've been beaten, what's the use of being sorry, she doesn't care about it, but she holds grudges!
Seeing that she didn't want to talk to him, Chang Ting didn't continue. Anyway, his apology has already been brought, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't forgive.

After school, Liu Yingzi took Liu Chenfeng and Wen Qilu to the snack street first, and tasted all the delicious food.He took the two of them to choose clothes together.

In fact, I mainly buy it for Wen Qilu. He always changes the same clothes, and the material is not good. It must be very uncomfortable to wear. Buy it for him alone, because he is afraid that he will be sensitive and feel inferior.

Taking the two of them to choose clothes, Liu Yingzi paid the bill and planned to go back. Halfway through, the carriage stopped suddenly, saying that there was an accident ahead and they had to change their way.

Liu Yingzi opened the curtain of the car and saw the commotion ahead, so she got out of the car alone to have a look.

When they got closer, they realized that a few strong men were punching and kicking a thin boy. After asking a passerby, they found out that the boy had stolen the money and was caught.
