24. Bystanders are "light"
Ever since she was "forced" by the old concubine to have intercourse that night, Han Zixing's attitude towards Luo Yingying seems to have softened more and more. Maybe she thinks that she can help him hide the truth and not force him to carry out the emperor's order to kill him on the spot. The cause of many troubles.Or for some other reason, who can tell?After all, people who read the story can never fully know what the people in the story are thinking.
In July of Tianrui's 22nd year, Han Zixing, who hadn't been out for a long time, finally left the palace with Luo Yingying under the coercion of the old concubine and rushed to Puji Temple, saying that he was seeking a son.Han Zixing was very helpless, but if anyone let her bear the title of Prince Rui, then, let's go.
On weekdays, Puji Temple is full of incense, and it is a well-known place.At the same time, it is also a temple used by the royal family. These royal relatives and relatives will come to the temple to ask for a lottery or pray for blessings during any important activities on weekdays.
Let's say that Han Zixing only brought four guards with him based on the principle of being simple and simple, and specially brought along Leng Shuang, who had been away to take care of her subordinate's secret business, so he just returned to Luoyi a few months ago, and Luo Yingying was He brought two little girls, Yuan'er and Li'er.
As soon as he entered the gate of the temple, Zen Master Tongshi, the abbot of Puji Temple, had already asked several disciples to clean the wing rooms for them to rest first.
Han Zixing has always been used to marching, and these distances are not something worth caring about for her, so when everyone is resting, she just walks around the temple by herself.
At noon, the sun was scorching hot, there were only a few pilgrims in the temple, and a few young monks were a little sleepy either sitting or standing.It's just that in the pure place of Buddhism, even the anxious air seems to calm down, which makes people feel inexplicably at ease.
Han Zixing walked to the front of the main hall without knowing it. From a distance, there was a pious-looking woman kneeling in front of the majestic Buddha statue. That figure was vaguely familiar.He subconsciously moved over, wanting to see that person.
"Why is it you?" The kneeling man turned his head when he heard footsteps, and asked when he saw Han Zixing.
"Isn't this King allowed to come to this Puji Temple?" Han Zixing looked at Hong Xueqing with tears in his eyes and was a little surprised, but he choked back mercilessly.
Hong Xueqing wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes very quickly with a silk handkerchief, and said angrily:
"I didn't say that."
"Oh? Then I want to ask Miss Hong what she is doing here?" Looking at the marriage lottery in Hong Xueqing's hand, it seemed that it was not very good.
"Prince Rui really takes care of a lot! Do I need to tell you?" Hong Xueqing curled her lips, and resumed the savage look that Han Zixing had when she first met her.
"Hmph." With a cold snort, Han Zixing didn't ask any more questions. Although she had some friendship with Hong Xueqing, Hong Ruofeng was there after all, so she didn't need to provoke this young lady.If something like Luo Yingying's happened again by accident, then she really didn't have to bother to hide it, and just prepared to commit suicide.
But after Hong Xueqing cleared up her emotions, the familiar slyness returned to her face:
"Hey, brother Zixing..."
"I'm not used to hearing this 'brother'." Han Zixing frowned and interrupted Hong Xueqing coldly.
"Don't be like this! Didn't you say that we are friends? What happened to Xueqing just now, okay? Then I will call you Brother Zixing?" Hong Xueqing approached Han Zixing with a mischievous smile.
Brother Purple Star?No matter what, he would always think of that guy Lu Mingzi!
"Brother Zixing is still free, you can do whatever you want!" Normally, Han Zixing would be annoyed on the spot and leave in a huff.But facing this Hong Xueqing, she was willing to be merciful, perhaps because she always felt very familiar with her.
"Okay, then I'll call you Brother Zixing." Hong Xueqing's voice was very clear, but seeing Han Zixing's almost frowned brows, she said, "Privately applaud."
"Yeah." It was agreed.
"By the way, brother Zixing, aren't you married? Why haven't you seen your sister-in-law?" Hong Xueqing asked.
"She is resting." The tone was calm, without any emotional ups and downs.
"Oh, really, she still wants to see her!" Hong Xueqing felt a little regretful.As soon as the words fell, footsteps sounded again in the empty hall.
Han Zixing, who had his back to the palace gate, heard that the familiar pace was Luo Yingying, what a coincidence!As soon as she was mentioned, she appeared.
Hong Xueqing was facing Luo Yingying, and she was amazed for a while, besides Yiyue, this person might also be regarded as one of Luo's most beauties.Yiyue, Yiyue, thinking of this person still makes her heart ache.
"Did the lord come to this hall alone?" At first glance, it sounded that there was only concern in Luo Yingying's voice, but Hong Xueqing, who was opposite, smelled a little sour.
"Well, do you have something to do with me?" Han Zixing turned around and asked lightly.
"It's nothing, I'm just a little worried." Luo Yingying replied with a smile, decent and dignified.
"This is the princess, right?" Hong Xueqing said.
"Yingying is Prince Rui's side concubine, are you Miss Hong?" Very generous attitude.
Said that the two greeted each other.It's just that Hong Xueqing secretly laughed, she often heard people say how talented Luo Yi is, and now she sees her is really good, but is it necessary to say that "Prince Rui's" so seriously?I hope I don't cause Han Zixing's backyard to catch fire. Thinking of this, I have the mentality of watching a good show.
Han Zixing on the one side pursed his thin lips tightly. This person always mentioned himself intentionally or unintentionally, as if he was afraid that he would not admit it, but he had a cute childish temperament, so he couldn't help smiling slightly.
The two chatted very harmoniously for a while, and even reached a consensus to go to Buddha to pray for blessings together, leaving Han Zixing aside.
Han Zixing burned a stick of incense silently, and after bowing, he ignored the two women kneeling there and left the hall.I can't help but think in my heart, Luo Yingying is really charming, whether it is the mother concubine, the concubine Ming or Hong Xueqing at the moment, she can quickly get acquainted with them, this ability is really ordinary people Can't learn.
Walking to the backyard of the monastery, Leng Shuang was sitting alone under the willow tree, with a scripture book covering her face, dozing off.It is expected that he heard Han Zixing's footsteps approaching, woke up, and the scriptures fell from his face.The eyes that have not yet woken up are somewhat red and swollen, could it be that they have cried?
Han Zixing looked at her appearance, and secretly sighed in his heart, why both of them like to cry so much.First there was the carefree young lady of the Hong family, and then there was this Leng Shuang who was always known for her calmness.However, there is something that can make Leng Shuang cry.
"Lengshuang has met you, oh, my lord." Leng Shuang was used to addressing Han Zixing as her lord because she had been taking care of business for Han Zixing all the year round.
"Well, it's okay, what happened to you?" Han Zixing sat on the ground, signaling Leng Shuang to sit down too.
"No, nothing." Leng Shuang hastily covered up.
"What if I don't believe it?" Han Zixing raised his eyebrows, his eyes were swollen like this, and he said it's okay, so he thought he was blind!
"Oh, I can't hide anything from you." Leng Shuang sighed, her expression was gloomy, and there was an indelible sadness in her cold expression.
"You might as well tell me about it." Leng Shuang rolled her eyes silently with the image of an interested and bored son-in-law slightly raised at the corner of her mouth.
"Master, Leng Shuang dares to ask you a question. If the person you love has been with you day and night for more than ten years, and then falls into the arms of others, what should you do?"
Han Zixing was taken aback, the one he loves?Who will your beloved be?There seems to be a shadow in the impression that is about to emerge, but it is too hazy after all, and there is no way to catch the slightest bit.As for Leng Shuang, she didn't even know who she would love for such a proud and arrogant woman, so she had no choice but to speak as a bystander:
"Since he is ruthless, you don't have to be too nostalgic."
"Oh, that's not easy! Feelings are always easy to pick up, but hard to let go." Leng Shuang's hand holding the scriptures trembled faintly, but she tried her best to hold back the tears in her eyes, and at the same time put the person in her mind. His voice and smile were pressed back.
"..." Han Zixing couldn't say anything for a while, but put away his mentality of watching the show first, and patted Leng Shuang's shoulder solemnly, trying to give her some comfort.
Some things are actually very ironic. I can say it, but I may not be able to do it.People often say that the onlooker is clear, and this clearness is probably because of the lightness and lightness.Once a bystander becomes a player in the game one day, he will understand the state of mind of the player in the game at that time, and I am afraid it will be difficult to utter such a decision lightly.
The author has something to say: see Hong Xueqing again, let’s start~
