Chapter 038: A Gentleman

——

Han felt that too many things had happened to her daughter in the past year, which made her anxious all day long. So when the injury on her daughter's neck was almost healed, she took her daughter to Xiangyuan Temple, the most incense-popular in Yancheng to worship Buddha and pray for blessings. Han believed in Buddhism and used to bring Chen Wu to Xiangyuan Temple, hoping that the Buddha's light would shine and protect her daughter from being safe.

Chen Wu knew her mother's worries and thought that these days had indeed made her worry a lot, and she felt a little guilty. For these little things, my ancestors also worried about her.

In the past, when Han and his daughter came, they would bring Chen Wu's sister-in-law Meng, in order to hope that Meng would get pregnant earlier so that she could have a grandson to hold her. After all, Han had been looking forward to her grandson for a long time. Now Meng has been pregnant for more than seven months, and Han is extremely precious, so how could she be willing to come and worship Buddha from all over the world?

And she can ask for this peace talisman.

Seeing that the relationship between her mother and her sister-in-law gradually improved, Chen Wu was also happy. Although her brother still couldn't change his romantic temperament, he at least restrained him a lot. After all, as long as his brother did something wrong, the first person to scold her mother was her mother. She was as careful as a porcelain man to treat her sister-in-law.

Chen Wu thought that for women, offspring is indeed the most important thing.

"Mom, my daughter goes to the Bell and Drum Tower to have a look." Chen Wu had used vegetarian food in the Zen room and said to Han.

In the Buddhist holy land, few people disturb the quietness of this place, but Chen Wu is a flowery girl after all. Han was a little worried, so he told her not to go too far and come back early.

Chen Wu smiled and said "Yes".

The bell and drum tower in Xiangyuan Temple is a square corner tower, about two meters high, with a double-eaved hip-mounted mountain style, covered with gray tiles and painted lints, and is built on a stone-built base. The bell and drum tower in the morning bell and evening drum ceremony, the long bell sounds make people forget the world and return to the simplicity. Chen Wu took the beginning of summer to the path paved with pebbles, and arrived at this pure Buddhist place. This heart seemed to be under the protection of the Buddha, and temporarily threw away the troubles in his heart.

"Don't the girl ask for a visa?" Lixia asked.

Chen Wu looked at the few beautiful girls at the end of the signature. She saw that she was a lady in her clothes. She was holding the signature and looked shy. Most of the girls of this age were asking about marriage. If she hadn't met Fu Zhan, she might be like these girls now and was curious about her marriage.

Chen Wu curled her eyelashes and sighed: What else can she ask for now?

Chen Wu originally wanted to go out for a walk after using the vegetarian food, but she didn't expect to meet Concubine Wan here.

From afar, Chen Wu saw that Concubine Wan was rarely dressed in a simple and elegant manner today. She wore a light apricot embroidered orchid skirt, but the light-colored clothes made her look more beautiful and beautiful. Her face was as beautiful as the sunset, and she was more elegant than thick makeup.

As the favorite concubine of Emperor Jiayuan, Concubine Wan's presentation is not grand at all. She only brought a few attendants in blue and a large palace maid named Pinxiang. She looked similar to the clan wives of Yancheng, so the people present did not show respect and calm down because of Concubine Wan's arrival, but there were still sharp-eyed people who saw Concubine Wan's identity.

Chen Wu felt that Concubine Wan had never liked her very much, and she clearly didn't want to express her identity at this moment. If she went up to salute, she might make Concubine Wan unhappy. So Chen Wu just stood there, lowered her head slightly to respect her.

But Pinxiang, who was beside Concubine Wan, made a special trip to her and smiled at her, "Miss Shen Liu, my master invites the girl over."

Chen Wu frowned and thought to herself: Could it be that Concubine Wan would insult her again in this Buddhist holy land?

Thinking of the last time when Chen Wu was in Huaze Mountain, she felt angry. Concubine Wan was so disgusted with her character. As for Emperor Jiayuan, I don’t know if Fu Zhan had told Concubine Wan beforehand that if there was no... Chen Wu’s hand tightened and thought: I’m afraid the situation today would be worse.

However, Chen Wu is not a timid person, so she quickly came back to her senses, nodded slightly at Pinxiang, and said generously and appropriately: "That's the trouble with Aunt Pinxiang."

Pinxiang looked at Chen Wu's outstanding appearance, her face was like peaches and plums, her eyebrows were as clear as pearls and jade, and her wonderful eyes were as bright as autumn waves, and she was extremely bright.

Her prince is really lucky to have such a good color.

Moreover, the little girl wore ordinary clothes today, and even the mouth fat was very light on her lips, which was really low-key. She used to dislike this matter of Miss Shen Liu, but she thought: Miss Shen Liu came from a noble family, so her upbringing must be very good, so how could she be as unbearable as the master thought?

Now Miss Shen Liu's noble demeanor is more and more appreciative of her.

Chen Wu followed Pinxiang to Concubine Wan's side. Concubine Wan did not look at her directly, but she could not lose her manners. She was about to be blessed, but she heard Concubine Wan say lightly: "Come in with me."

"Yes." Chen Wu didn't think about it, and just followed Concubine Wan, one after another and entered the hall.

The worship of Manjushri Bodhisattva in this hall was Manjushri Bodhisattva. She understood that Concubine Wan was a talented woman who read poetry and books, and it was very normal for worshipping Manjushri Bodhisattva. However, when she saw Concubine Wan kneeling on the cushion without saying a word, she was still a little confused. It was rare for Concubine Wan to have been in the palace for more than 20 years, but she still retained the usual scholarly atmosphere.

Thinking of this, Chen Wu also knelt down and folded her hands together.

Concubine Wan never likes to worship Buddha. When Pinxiang outside saw Lixia's face, she said, "In the past, His Highness the Princess accompanied the Empress to worship Buddha."

As soon as these words were said, Lixia was stunned and surprised. She turned her head and looked at Pinxiang wearing a dark green palace maid's suit, and she immediately understood.

only--

Lixia still doesn't understand.

How could Concubine Wan suddenly change her view of her master? And... and I can't tell at all that I like her just now?

Li Xia was worried outside the hall, and Chen Wu, who was inside the hall, saw that Concubine Wan was about to get up, went over to help her up.

This action was not a deliberate congratulation. No matter what, Concubine Wan was also her elder, and she should do this. Chen Wu saw Concubine Wan suddenly turned her head and looked at her. She thought Concubine Wan didn't like her touching her, and she wanted to retract her hand, but she saw Concubine Wan didn't say a word, so she could only bite the bullet and help Concubine Wan up.

When Chen Wu was in Dingguo Duke's Mansion, both the old lady and Han regard her as a treasure. Except for Chen Qian, who doesn't know how to behave, who else would give her a look? After all, she was spoiled. Now, Concubine Wan's attitude is so trembling, she is a little nervous.

After worshiping Buddha, although Concubine Wan did not smile at her, she did not mean to let her leave. Chen Wu couldn't speak out and said she wanted to leave, so she accompanied Concubine Wan to the release pond, and then went to the Zizhu Forest again, but Concubine Wan still didn't talk to her much during this period.

It was not until the two of them sat down in the pavilion among the purple bamboo forest that Concubine Wan looked up at Chen Wu.

When she first saw Chen Wu, she felt that she had jade cheeks and cherry lips, which were extremely beautiful, especially her eyes, with agile eyebrows and eyes. Although her son was not close to women, it was very normal for her to be moved when facing a girl of such a look - after all, men like beautiful girls.

When her son was thinking about this Miss Shen Liu, she was naturally happy and wanted to hold her grandson earlier. But she didn't expect that her son was fascinated. As a mother, she naturally hoped that her son would not take women too seriously; but as a woman, she hoped that her man would treat her wholeheartedly.

But where can any man be wholehearted?

"Do you think it's difficult for me to get along with?" asked Concubine Wan.

She was used to being quiet, and suddenly heard Concubine Wan talking, Chen Wu was a little uncomfortable. She looked at Concubine Wan, but she would not tell the truth. She only opened her lips and said, "My daughter is not..."

"Okay." Concubine Wan interrupted Chen Wu's words and frowned slightly, "I know what you are thinking, so there is no need to say some nice words to make me happy. I also know a little about the matter between you and Azhan. I did try to judge others by myself before..."

After hanging her for a long time, Chen Wu was a little flattered and didn't know how to answer the conversation.

But I thought to myself: What's wrong with these ones or two?

Seeing Chen Wu's dazed look, Concubine Wan sighed helplessly: "If you get married to A Zhan in the future, if you serve him well, I will naturally not make things difficult for you." Her son kept saying that he was bullying the little girl first. If someone changed her, she would probably think she was favoring other girls, but she still didn't know her son's temperament? I think this is the fact.

But the mothers are always very conflicted. When the little girl is attracted by her son and secretly interacts, she will blame the little girl for being unrestrained and uneducated; but when she knows that her son is pestering others, the little girl doesn't like her son at all, she feels more and more uncomfortable. No man as good as her son, who doesn't like her? So she will annoy Miss Shen Liu for not having any vision.

Chen Wu was not happy at all when she heard Concubine Wan's words - it seemed as if she liked to serve her son very much. This marriage was just a forced marriage. Fu Zhan, with the royal status, forced her to marry. If Chen Wu's character was on weekdays, his mouth would probably be so tilted that he could hang an oil pot, but who made Concubine Wan a person she couldn't afford to offend?

So Chen Wu didn't say anything, just listened quietly.

As he was talking, he saw Pinxiang coming over and said to Concubine Wan: "The prince is here to pick up the empress."

This is on weekdays, Concubine Wan might feel happy. After all, her son is filial and busy every day, but she comes to pick her up from afar. But at this moment, Chen Wu is by her side. She knew that her son might be worried that she would make things difficult for Chen Wu, and when he comes this time, he can still take a look at the little girl he is thinking about.

It is said that women are older than others, and the same is true for the son.

Thinking of this, Concubine Wan felt a little depressed.

Chen Wu saw Concubine Wan's displeasure, so she stood up and looked at Concubine Wan with a blessing, saying, "Empress, my daughter's mother may be anxious, I want to take a step first."

Concubine Wan was about to find an excuse to send her off, but seeing that Chen Wu was so tactful, it was just right for her wishes, so she nodded and said, "Well, go ahead and say hello to your mother for me."

After hearing the words, Chen Wu was given a general amnesty and quickly walked out of the pavilion and took Lixia to the Zen room on the back mountain to find Han. Lixia also held it in a long time, and halfway through the way, he frowned and said to Chen Wu with dissatisfaction: "Girl, this Concubine Wan is really good at making a spell."

When did her girl suffer such neglect?

Chen Wu quickly said, "Don't talk nonsense", but she secretly agreed with Lixia's words in her heart. However, she understood that the favorite concubine who had been favored for twenty years naturally had a spoiled temper. Isn't her mother the same? She was always spoiled by her father, and sometimes she was a bit unreasonable. However, the things that surprised her were straight-hearted, but Concubine Wan was not as difficult as she imagined.

Chen Wu subconsciously bent her lips, but Lixia gently pulled Chen Wu's sleeves and reminded: "Miss, it's His Highness, King Qi."

Hearing Lixia's voice, Chen Wu then curled her smile and looked into the distance. Seeing Fu Zhan wearing a dark blue brocade robe today, he was walking towards her and smiling at her. He was so handsome that he looked like white jade and starry eyes. He could not make any mistakes at all.

Moreover, the hair crown worn by Fu Zhan on his head today was the one that he snatched from her last time. Chen Wu thought to himself: As a prince, could Fu Zhan be treated harshly in terms of cost? He couldn't even afford a hair crown.

Or, it is another reason.

But Chen Wu didn't dare to continue thinking.

Chen Wu had already made an excuse to leave in order not to meet Fu Zhan, but unexpectedly she met him. For a moment, Chen Wu didn't know whether to move forward or backward, but she saw that Fu Zhan had already striding towards her, and she was also shameless and pretended to meet him by chance.

At this point, Chen Wu still doesn’t know Fu Zhan? I recalled the incident at Mingyuan Villa carefully. Why did Fu Zhan encounter such a coincidence? It was clearly his favorite trick - waiting for the rabbit.

He wanted to pretend, so she would pretend with him.

Chen Wu owed her body and bowed respectfully to Fu Zhan: "My daughter has met His Highness King Qi."

But Chen Wu ignored the extremely important point, that is, Fu Zhan is a shameless person. Seeing that Chen Wu showed off a lady from a family and seemed to be not very familiar with him, he took her tender jade hand as if she was young, and gently pinched it, and said with a gentle smile: "Miss Shen Liu doesn't have to be too polite."

As he said that, Chen Wu noticed that Fu Zhan was very familiar with stroking the back of her hand.
