In the palace of Prince Qi in Shengjing City.
Qi Yuning felt in a trance and restless the whole day, and was haunted by nightmares at night.
When I woke up, I was sweating profusely.
Lu Ze heard the movement next to him, got up and saw Qi Yuning and said, "Are you having a nightmare again?"
Qi Yuning nodded, and she called out to Gu Yu, who came with a cup of warm tea.
Qi Yuning took a sip of warm tea and said, "I don't know what kind of nightmare I had. I can't remember much of it. I just know it was very scary."
Lu Ze said: "Why don't you take Lingling to Xianglin Temple tomorrow and ask for two peace charms? Xianglin Temple has always been effective."
Qi Yuning also felt that it made sense. He had been having constant nightmares recently, and it was indeed time to seek a peace charm to calm his mind.
Early in the morning, Qi Yuning asked Li Chun to prepare sandalwood, and then took Lingling to Xianglin Temple.
Today is the third day of the twelfth lunar month, and the incense in Xianglin Temple is not very prosperous today. After all, most of the pilgrims come to offer incense on the first day of the twelfth lunar month, and there are only a few pilgrims on the third day of the lunar month.
Qi Yuning took Lingling to Xianglin Temple, but did not see Lu Yun. After asking, he learned that Lu Yun seemed to be ill these past two days.
When Qi Yuning heard that Lu Yun was ill, he felt relieved, but because he was in front of the Buddha, he did not say the word "deserved".
Qi Yuning took Lingling into the Main Hall and taught Lingling: "Lingling knelt down with her hands together and told the Buddha what Lingling wanted, and the Buddha would appear and satisfy Lingling!"
Lingling clasped her hands together and said: "Then Lingling wants her parents to be able to play with Lingling every day, and Lingling also needs younger brothers and sisters!"
Qi Yuning chuckled and said, "Your cousin will be born soon. By then, you will have a playmate."
Lingling scratched her little head, "Isn't my cousin already here? The new ones are younger siblings."
Qi Yuning smiled, not knowing how to explain to Lingling that her aunt was actually pregnant with her cousin.
After Qi Yuning made his wish, he went to the abbot master and asked for three peace charms, and one for Miss A Ping.
It is said that when a woman gives birth, she is going to the gate of hell.
Although Lingling was there, Qi Yuning learned that Miss Aping had given birth safely, but she was still worried after all.
The abbot said: "Amitabha, the most important thing in seeking peace is sincerity. It is better for the princess to copy the Heart Sutra with her own hands in the temple and put it into the peace sachet. This will show the princess' sincerity and also eliminate the nightmare that haunts the princess."
Qi Yuning clasped his hands together and said, "Then please ask the abbot to arrange a wing for me."
The abbot said: "Yes."
Qi Yuning followed the abbot to the wing, and saw that there were already people in the pilgrim wing where she often went. She frowned and said, "Who lives here?"
The abbot said: "The lady who lives inside is the eldest lady of uncle Qin's house. The eldest lady of Qin comes to the temple to pray for her daughter's blessings and eliminate disasters."
Qi Yuning said displeased: "Who is the disaster? Her daughter is the disaster!"
"Change the courtyard for me." Qi Yuning said displeasedly.
The abbot said helplessly: "Princess, there is still a temple under renovation. Now the only room for female pilgrims in Xianglin Temple is here."
Qi Yuning said: "Then let's stay here."
Qi Yuning asked the maid and mother-in-law beside him to guard outside, while he and Lingling knelt down at the wooden table in front of the window lattice and copied Buddhist scriptures.
Copying the Heart Sutra, smelling the scent of sandalwood, and listening to the incomprehensible Sanskrit sounds, my heart disturbed by nightmares calmed down.
"Snowing."
After Qi Yuning copied the Heart Sutra three times, it was almost dusk.
Hearing this, Lingling said happily: "Mother, dear, it's snowing!"
The snow was falling heavily. Qi Yuning had the experience of Lingling catching a cold and getting sick last time, so he put on the clothes that Lingling had taken off, "We can't play in the snow this time."
Li Chun came in and said, "Princess, the snow seems to be quite heavy. We might as well go back first and wait until the snow gets heavier. I'm afraid it will be difficult to travel on the mountain road."
Qi Yuning looked at the flying snow outside and said, "The snow is so heavy that it will be covered with snow soon. Instead of being trapped in the mountains, it would be better to rest in the temple for the night and wait for the day tomorrow." Let’s go again.”
It should be the beginning of spring.
Among the residences of the monks of Xianglin Temple.
Lu Yun coughed twice. The days in the temple were getting more and more difficult in Yun did not expect that monks like them would not eat any meat in winter, and the green vegetable leaves would always be cold no matter how they were eaten.
"Junior brother, I met the princess today. The princess is so beautiful, why don't you marry her as your wife?"
Lu Yun said to the six-year-old senior brother in front of him: "She is so fierce."
"The princess is not mean. She is staying at Xianglin Temple today. When I brought her a meal, she smiled at me and rewarded me with a handful of golden melon seeds!"
Lu Yun said: "Haha, Qi Yuning also eats vegetable leaves, it's really fun, cough cough cough!"
"The vegetarian meal that the princess eats is not vegetables. It is vegetarian chicken and goose specially prepared for her by her uncle. The kitchen has been busy all afternoon."
Lu Yun hummed, Qi Yuning must have come to the temple after knowing that he was sick, so that he could go and beg for mercy when he was vulnerable.
Lu Yun looked at the cold rice bran rice in front of him, two cabbage stalks, not a drop of oil...
Indeed, he felt extremely regretful now.
"Isn't it just to marry Qi Yuning? Isn't it okay for me to return to secular life and marry her? It's better than eating green vegetables every day without a drop of oil. Whoever loves whom in these damn days, I can't handle it!"
He is still sick. If he eats these green leaves again, he may turn green all over.
Why don't you marry Qi Yuning, but why do you still have to suffer from the cold here when you are sick? Isn't the big fish and meat in the princess's house delicious? March, three whole months, Lu Yun had almost forgotten the taste of meat.
"Amitabha, little junior brother, you are disrespectful to Buddha!"
Lu Yun touched his smooth head and said, "Bah, who can still develop respect for eating oil-free green vegetables every day?"
The little novice monk frowned and said, "Junior brother, you will have retribution."
"I don't believe in retribution!" Lu Yun snorted, "Hurry up and help me up."
Lu Yun asked the little novice monk to go to Xiao Man and ask for a bronze mirror.
Lu Yun looked at himself in the bronze mirror. He was very haggard due to illness. He was not as high-spirited and elegant as Prince Lu Xiaojun in the past.
Lu Yun patted his face to force some blood into the sallow and green face, wiped his shiny bald head, and went to the female pilgrim's wing.
……
After Qi Yuning had dinner, he and Lingling rested, only to realize that it was bone-chillingly cold in the temple at night, and even asked Li Chun to drink soup.
As soon as the door was opened at the beginning of spring, a sharp voice came from the next room, "Get out, get out, all of you, don't disturb me."
Qi Yuning listened to the stern voice coming from the next room, which could even be heard by her, and said to Li Chun, "Why is Mrs. Qin so crazy?"
Li Chun came outside and took a look: "It's snowing so heavily. Madam Qin brought two maids with her. Now let the two slaves leave. There will be no one to serve her at night."
Qi Yuning said: "You go and make soup for me, it's freezing here."
Even the small heater Lingling is not enough.
The door creaked open. Qi Yuning thought it was the beginning of spring. Seeing the tall and slender man walking into the house, Qi Yuning got off the bed and walked to Lu Ze.
The black cloak Lu Ze was wearing was covered in snow, which showed that the journey was not easy.
"Lu Ze! Why are you here?"
Lu Ze said: "Lu Yun is sick. My mother is worried after all, so she asked me to come and take a look."
Qi Yuning said disappointedly: "I thought you were afraid that I would be cold at night, so you came here to warm my bed. It turns out it was because of Lu Yun."
Lu Ze hugged Qi Yuning into his arms and said, "Lu Yun is not worthy of me coming all night. He came here because of you."
When he entered the house at the beginning of spring, he saw Lu Ze and put Tang Pozi down before going out and closing the door.
As soon as he went out at the beginning of spring, he saw Lu Yun wearing Tsing Yi.
Lu Yun shouted in a hoarse voice: "Yu Ning! Ning Ning!"
"Prince Lu, you can't go in!"
Li Chun repeatedly blocked Lu Yun.
After Lu Yun was stopped, he was not discouraged and shouted loudly outside the compartment door: "Ning Ning, I was wrong. Now I regret being a monk. Ning Ning, I am willing to return to secular life and marry you. We will live a good life in the future. Give birth to a bunch of cute little babies..." (End of this chapter)
