Chapter 418 Temple at Night
It was already evening when the royal team arrived at the Royal Temple and settled down.
Lin Junxue had dinner. It was spring in March and the weather was gradually warming up, and everything was reviving.
There is a thousand-year-old tree in the royal temple. Every time this season comes, the tree will bloom early.
After Lin Junxue and Danzhen had their meal, they planned to go and take a look.
It is said that if you make a wish under this ancient tree, it can be conveyed to heaven and your wish will come true.
In the past, she didn’t believe in God, but now, she had somehow traveled here, and there were some things she couldn’t help but believe in.
In the past, she never made a wish because things often went against her wishes.
But now, she is willing to do it and just treat it as a wish.
Under the ancient tree
When Lin Junxue arrived, she saw an unexpected person, Qin Shushu.
She was kneeling under the ancient tree, with her hands clasped together, praying, and burning incense in front of her, looking more like she was paying tribute to someone.
Danzhen whispered
"Madam, it's Shu Wanrong. Is she here to make a wish like you at this late hour?"
Lin Junxue walked forward. Qin Shushu heard the footsteps, turned around, and was obviously stunned for a moment.
She immediately said, "I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen."
Lin Junxue waved her hand
"Get up, Shu Wanrong"
Qin Shushu glanced at the burning yellow paper with an inexplicable look on her face and stood up.
"Your Majesty, are you here to make a wish as well?"
Lin Junxue nodded slightly, "Well, Shu Wanrong, is this something you want as well?"
Qin Shushu raised her eyes, her eyes turned red, and she gritted her teeth.
"Your Majesty, I have nothing to ask for now. I just pray for my poor unborn child to find a good family in the next life, so that he won't be harmed by others and won't even have the chance to see this world."
Lin Junxue looked at Qin Shushu, who was gritting her teeth and looking full of hatred.
She was able to be so patient in order to seek revenge, and stayed by the Queen Mother's side to serve her every day.
Facing this enemy who plotted to kill her unborn child, she just smiled along.
A woman's hatred can swallow all the suffering in the world, just like Qin Shushu now.
"Shu Wanrong, everything will pass. If your wish comes true, then let yourself go."
Qin Shushu smiled bitterly
"My queen, do you know what nightmares and demonic obstacles are? As long as I lie down, it will be that day when I lost my child. The blood in front of my eyes, there are some things that I can't forget, and some grudges that I must avenge even if I sacrifice my own life. I can't let myself go, and I have already prepared to perish together with you."
Lin Junxue saw the determination in Qin Shushu's eyes.
Qin Shushu put away her previous expression, returned to normal, and bowed respectfully.
"Your Majesty, I will leave first. It is dark and the roads are slippery, please be careful."
Lin Junxue looked at Qin Shushu meaningfully and nodded.
"Of course, Shu Wanrong, you should also be careful."
Qin Shushu had just taken two steps when her foot slipped. Danzhen reacted quickly, stepped forward and supported Qin Shushu who was about to fall.
Qin Shushu held Danzhen's hand with her backhand and said "thank you" after a pause.
Danzhen took back her hand
"Shu Wanrong, be careful"
After Qin Shushu left, Lin Junxue stood under the ancient tree, her white cloak fluttering in the wind, unknowingly stained with a little frost and dew.
Late at night, the dew is heavy.
Lin Junxue's heart was exceptionally calm. When she looked up, she saw the sky full of stars.
Lin Junxue never thought that one day she would make a wish to an ancient tree.
for a while
Lin Junxue made her wish
Danzhen stepped forward and whispered, "My Lady, there is something."
Lin Junxue's eyes were stern
This night.
The monks of the royal temple stayed up all night and began to prepare for tomorrow's prayers.
Brightly lit
On the next day, Lin Junxue brought Concubine Mi, Concubine Chen, and Shu Wanrong to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager early in the morning.
The Queen Mother's mood has visibly improved in the past few days.
After the conversation, the Queen Mother took everyone to the Temple of Heaven to begin a three-day prayer.
When they arrived at the Temple of Heaven, Zhuxi and the monks were already waiting there.
Lin Junxue stood beside the Queen Mother, looking at Zhuxi, high above the Temple of Heaven.
The wind blew Zhuxi's monk robe and his indifferent face.
Looking from afar, under the sunlight, divinity and Buddha nature are intertwined, as if all the temptations in the world are not worthy of his attention.
He stood there, and occasionally looking up, you could see his cold profile.
Even though Lin Junxue looked at Zhuxi's face every day, she still found it fascinating.
What's more, others were amazed enough just by taking a glance at it.
If you look at it any longer, it would be blasphemy against God.
Across the distant crowd, Lin Junxue and Zhuxi looked at each other from afar.
No one dared to look directly into Zhuxi's eyes, so naturally no one noticed the slight fluctuation in his eyes just now.
That only happened when facing Lin Junxue alone.
As the blessing ceremony began, the sound of chanting sutras came from the sky above the Temple of Heaven.
Zhuxi sat alone on the high platform, and the sound of Buddhist scriptures touched his heart.
Lin Junxue was kneeling on a palm-leaf fan. Just by raising her head, she could see Zhuxi's tall and straight figure.
She slowly lowered her head and continued to recite the sutra.
When it was noon, everyone returned to their own courtyards to have lunch.
The Queen Mother sent Nanny Wu to invite Zhuxi to have lunch, but Zhuxi refused and stayed in her own courtyard to eat.
After Lin Junxue knew about it, she curled her lips. Zhuxi really didn't give the empress dowager any face at all.
I guess the Queen Mother must be furious even in her own courtyard.
The high and mighty Queen Mother had never been humiliated like this before, and she couldn't get angry.
After all, Zhuxi, a world-famous Buddhist, is not someone she can manipulate at will.
Dan Zhen said, "Your Majesty, it has to be Master Fuzi. In the whole world, only Master Fuzi dares not to attend the Queen Mother's lunch. This slave really admires Master Fuzi."
Qiaoxin and Guyu also smiled
Lin Junxue put down her chopsticks, washed her hands, and curled her lips.
"Well, do you want him to sign for you? As a souvenir?"
Next second
Danzhen and the other two said in unison, "Yes!"
Lin Junxue slowly curled her lips and looked at the three people who were embarrassed.
These days, even Qiao Xin's temperament has become more active, which is good. She has become more human and less servile.
Qiao Xin still feels a little bad
"My Lady, can Master Buddha agree? After all, in addition to the temples in the Three Kingdoms, all of them enshrine the Buddhist scriptures and calligraphy written by Master Buddha himself. Master Buddha's calligraphy has never been spread out. After all, we are slaves. Otherwise, forget it."
Lin Junxue looked at Qiao Xin and said, "It's okay."
At night
After Lin Junxue washed up, she entered the inner room and saw Zhuxi standing there.
Zhuxi turned his head and looked at Lin Junxue's collarbone that was faintly visible through her pajamas, and narrowed his dark eyes.
Lin Junxue walked up to Zhuxi, stretched out her hand, and hooked the belt around his waist.
Looking up, staring at the bamboo stream with wet eyes
Carefully carved, the girl is like a lotus emerging from the water, her skin is snow-white, and her breath is elegant and clear, not strong, but extremely alluring.
Just like now, Zhuxi's heartbeat slowed down a little, and her hands on both sides clenched slightly.
Some people look calm, but in fact they are completely defeated.
To him, Lin Junxue was a fatal temptation as long as she stood there.
