Early the next morning, Leng Yi entered the palace. He went straight to the palace of Emperor Zhao Guangyi to ask for an audience.

Zhao Guangyi immediately called him. When he saw Leng Yi, he hurriedly asked: "How is it? Has Concubine Huarui agreed to my entry into Nanke Temple?"

Leng Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The people sent by the official family before were unable to complete it. How can Wei Chen have the ability to complete it immediately? If it were so simple, the official family would not have such a headache."

Zhao Guangyi was slightly disappointed and said: "It's true, it doesn't matter, this matter won't go too smoothly. I'll go to Aiqing every day and work slowly. As long as she agrees, I'm willing to pay for it no matter what!"

"Wei Chen obeys the order." Leng Yi cupped his hands and said: "Wei Chen came to see the officials because yesterday I heard Concubine Huarui say that there are no flowers in Nanke Temple, which is a pity, so..."

Zhao Guangyi was overjoyed: "This is easy to handle! As long as she asks for it, no matter what it is, she will be satisfied! Send someone to Nanke Temple to plant flowers and plants immediately!"

Leng Yi said: "Guan family, actually, this is a good opportunity!"

"what chance?"

"Don't the officials want to send the portrait of Emperor Taizu to the temple for worship? Judging from yesterday's situation, the imperial concubine did not seem to flatly refuse this matter. And even if the empress agreed to let the officials send the portrait, it would only be one or two.

After an hour, the officials have no reason to stay any longer. However, if the officials say that in order to pay tribute to the officials and at the same time to make the environment of Nanke Temple more beautiful, they specifically request the imperial concubine to allow the officials to bring the queen's concubines.

The concubines, princes and princesses will plant flowers, pines and cypresses in the temple together, and come to take care of them from time to time. In this way, don’t the officials have a reason to go to the temple to see the concubine and the empress from time to time?"

Zhao Guangyi was overjoyed: "This is a great plan! Just do it like this. You express my request to Concubine Huarui and find a way to make her agree."

"I obey the order!"

Leng Yi came out and went straight to the secluded Nanke Temple in the southeast corner.

After knocking on the door, it was still the beautiful little nun Ling Yan who opened the door. However, when she saw Leng Yi this time, although she still had a straight face, there was a smile on her lips. Without saying a word, she closed the door after Leng Yi came in.

At the temple gate, turn around and walk inside.

Leng Yi said: "Why do you, sister, and Concubine Huarui treat each other as junior sisters?"

Ling Yan didn't look back. He said calmly: "You don't know me?"

"I really don't know him."

"You're such an incompetent lobbyist! You didn't even know who we were before you came in."

Leng Yi smiled: "I'm not a lobbyist. However, I am very interested in knowing about the girl's situation. Can you tell me?"

"Don't tell me! Why should I tell you?"

"That's true, then I'll go find out myself."

"No prying!"

"Why?"

"No matter why, I don't allow you to inquire about my affairs anyway!"

"I asked quietly, but you didn't know."

Ling Yan turned around and looked at him: "You underestimate us too much. Although we practice in the temple, we still know the things outside. So if you are up to something, I will know it right away!"

"I don't dare to do anything weird. I just want to ask about my sister's life experience. She is so beautiful. She must not be an ordinary girl. She must be from a famous family. You will know as soon as you ask."

"Don't ask!" Ling Yan stared at him.

"Okay, I won't ask the girl, I'll just ask about the origin of Nanke Temple and who the eminent monks who meditate there are. I won't ask my sister specifically. Anyway, there aren't many people in the temple, so I think someone will know and tell me.

of."

Ling Yan snorted and said: "Forget it, instead of talking nonsense like that, why not let me tell you and don't ask anymore!"

"yes!"

"I am Princess Chen!"

"Oh! It turns out to be Her Royal Highness, disrespectful!"

Seeing him like that, Ling Yan seemed to have no idea what was going on with her, the princess of Yongguo. She pursed her lips and said, "You know what's going on with me, so you're being disrespectful and disrespectful?"

"Hey, please express it, Your Highness the Princess."

"My father is Emperor Taizu! I am the third daughter of Emperor Taizu. Because my father said that he killed many people during his expeditions in the north and south, many of which should not have been killed. He committed many crimes.

After seeking advice from my master, my master asked my father to appoint a relative to become a monk on my father's behalf and convert to Buddhism, so that the sin could be resolved. My father asked me to guide him in spiritual practice.

This temple was built in the garden. Later, Concubine Huarui also wanted to lead her in spiritual practice to atone for her father's sins. Father agreed, and just like that, we became a monk here. Because she was the elder, although I started the ceremony first, she still let her

Becoming a senior sister is like that."

"You should talk about seniors and juniors in order of entry."

"You don't have to worry about this. This is how my father arranged it anyway. Do you understand?"

"I understand, Your Highness Princess."

"I am a monk now! Don't call me princess! Call me Dharma name Lingyan!"

"Yes! Master Ling Yan."

"Well, that's pretty much it. Now that you know it, don't ask around anymore!"

"Okay." Leng Yi said, "Who is Dasha?"

"She is the personal bodyguard assigned by my father to my senior sister, and she became a monk with us."

"What about your master?"

"Has passed away."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

Leng Yi understood. It turned out that the two people who became monks in Nanke Temple were the sister-in-law of the current emperor Zhao Guangyi and the other his niece. Moreover, both of them were atonement for the sins of Emperor Taizu's uncle. That is to say

, they are the substitutes of Emperor Taizu. No wonder Zhao Guangyi dare not mess around in Nanke Temple even though he is extremely cowardly.

While talking, the two came to the door of the Buddhist hall. Ling Yan said: "Go in by yourself, I won't accompany you."

Leng Yi stepped in and saw Mrs. Huarui sitting cross-legged on the futon, reciting sutras in a low voice. He coughed slightly to indicate his presence. Mrs. Huarui ignored her and continued to chant sutras.

Leng Yi had no choice but to find a futon to sit down by himself and waited quietly. After waiting for about a meal, Mrs. Huarui finished chanting, turned to look at Leng Yi, and said with an indifferent expression: "Master Leng, you are here.

.”

"Yes!" Leng Yi was a little surprised. Mrs. Huarui's reaction was completely different from the fiery one yesterday. Could it be because he was not wearing a mask instead of her late husband?

Mrs. Huarui slowly got up, walked to the altar table, burned incense, and prayed. After praying silently for a while, she turned to Leng Yi and said: "From now on, you can come later in the morning, because I have to do morning classes. This is

There can be no delay.”

"Understood."

"Come with me."

Leng Yi followed Mrs. Huarui to the backyard and entered the courtyard. After closing the door, Mrs. Huarui did not look at Leng Yi and only said one sentence: "The clothes are in the room. They are all ready." Then, she went straight to the wing.

.

Leng Yi also entered the main room, and sure enough, there was a brand new set of robes and shoes and socks on the round table. Leng Yi changed them, and they were about the same size. Then he took out Meng Chang's mask, applied glue on his face, and

Dip it well.

He finished packing and opened the door, and saw Mrs. Huarui standing on the porch looking at him.

At this moment, Mrs. Huarui had taken off her monk's robe and put on a pomegranate dress, like a colorful cloud. However, her eyes were confused, looking at Leng Yi, and gradually became fiery. Then, she carried

With her skirt curled up, Tingting walked up the steps. She looked at Leng Yi, and after a long while, she sweetly called out: "Meng Lang!"

"Pistil!" Leng Yi also said softly. He thought to himself, this woman's heart is really good. The same person who was so indifferent to me just now has a different face and is as tender as water.

Mrs. Huarui stepped forward, took Leng Yi's arm affectionately, and said, "Where are we going to play today?"

Leng Yi thought to himself, where else can you go other than this Nanke Temple and your own house? However, he put on a thoughtful look on his face and said: "The weather seems to have changed in the past two days, and it snowed last night.

, the winter cold is also severe, so don’t go too far, let’s just drink in the house, and you dance for me, how about it?”

"No!" Mrs. Huarui said coquettishly: "You want to get me drunk so early in the morning and bully me, but I won't obey."

"Then what good idea does my concubine have?"

"I want to see our mighty generals and marshals! Come with me, okay?"

"Mighty General? Marshal?" Leng Yi was puzzled.

"Hey! Those are the tigers in Hushan! They were the ones who were given the title by your Majesty!"

Leng Yi understood immediately, stroking his beard and smiling: "Yes, yes, - but Madam, you need to go out. What should you do if others see you?"

Mrs. Huarui sighed and said, "Don't you know how to take off your mask?"

"Can the queen go out?"

"I'm not a prisoner, why can't I get out?"

Leng Yi slapped his forehead: "That's right! Hehe. Please wait a moment, Madam, while I take off my mask."

After Leng Yi finished speaking, he took off the mask after soaking it in the potion. He also changed his clothes and restored his original appearance. The two came out. Ling Yan heard that he was going to Hushan and also shouted to go. Mrs. Huarui, however

He shook his head and said, "I want to be quiet. If you want to go, just go alone from now on."

Ling Yan had no choice but to grimace and agree not to go.
