15. Chapter 15
Take care of yourself and don't miss me too much.
This is a common word for letters between relatives and friends, but the words are written from Song Qin's pen. Through the sharp and strong handwriting, Tang Yu seemed to see the teasing smile of a man's mouth.
Who would miss him?
Tang Yu was so angry that his hands trembled. He clenched the note and walked to the candlestick. He picked up the fire note and lit it, burned the note to ashes.
Heaven knows the earth, you know me, you know me, you seem to be a gentleman, but how could Tang Yu simply believe whatever he says? Song Qin sent the third princess to deliver the letter, which instead caused another trouble to Tang Yu. Song Qin did not allow the third princess to enter the palace, because he suspected that something might happen to the third princess in the palace, but today he was relieved to send the princess to the Jingning Marquis' Mansion. The incident reached the ears of the empress dowager, which was related to Song Qin's rescue of her that day. Will the empress dowager really not suspect his own relationship with Song Qin?
Or, this is the consequence that Song Qin wanted to alienate the Tang and Wei families?
Tang Yu was upset and thought about it. He ordered someone to prepare a carriage. She wanted to go to the Duke of Wei's Mansion.
My aunt is the bridge between the Tang family and the empress dowager. Tang Yu couldn't tell me directly, so I could ask my aunt to pass on the message.
"Silly Yuer." Tang held his niece's hand pitifully, "Look at you, you ran over before you recovered from your illness. What happened to you, and your soul was still scared away? Don't worry, when your father was promoted, wasn't there any rumors outside? I was afraid that the empress dowager would misunderstand, so I went to the palace to explain. The empress dowager not only did not suspect our Tang family, but also breathed a sigh of relief, saying that he was afraid of implicating your father's official career. Moreover, the empress dowager knew your father when he was a girl at home. He knew that your father was not the kind of person who could be good at everything. You were stupid and you had to think about the slightest movement."
Tang Yu lowered his head and said his reason, "Dad is not at home, I'm afraid I'll accidentally get into trouble."
Tang hugged his niece and looked at the yard. Suddenly, his brothers who wanted to fight outside were particularly interested in fighting. Now there are only women and children in the Tang family. No wonder his niece was worried.
Here the mother and the two comforted each other. Song Yue leaned on the rattan chair in women's clothing, closing his eyes comfortably.
"When I go back to the princess, my subordinates have found out clearly. Since the Marquis of Jingning led his troops to the expedition, Miss Tang rarely went out. However, the fifth day of the sixth month is the death day of her biological mother. Every year, Miss Tang would go to Anguo Temple to worship Buddha and fast for seven days."
Song Yue raised his eyes lazily, and Tang Yu's graceful figure appeared in his mind. He was sensible and filial. He was a good girl, but unfortunately...
If you want to blame, blame her for being so beautiful, which caught Song Qin's eyes.

It's raining.
Wei Zhao stood in front of Songfeng Hall in blue clothes, silently looking at the rain curtain hanging from the eaves of the corridor. Tomorrow is my aunt's death day, and my cousin must go to Anguo Temple today. The accidental rain caused a lot of inconvenience to the journey. He was not afraid of trouble, but will my cousin feel more pity for his life after seeing the rain?
The rain was heavy, and several figures turned around in the corridor. The leading girl was wearing a light green rain cloak, and a white skirt was exposed under the cloak. The plain satin butterfly fallen flowers were faintly seen while walking, and there were matching Tangmu clogs. The wind blew into the corridor with raindrops. Her hair was light and her face was white and beautiful. She approached her, and there was a faint sadness at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
Wei Zhao looked at her and moved his fingers. Such a cousin made him want to pull her into his arms.
Tang Yu walked to the door and nodded to him. Seeing that the three mothers and mothers of Rong had also come over in the main hall, Tang Yu said to Rong's clothes: "I'm not in the mansion these days, so please work hard."
Rong curled his lips in his heart. Tang Yu was not big and his hands were tight. Even if he was not there, the Marquis's house would be handed over to a capable nanny beside him. Only posts of human relations would be handed over to her. Now she would say beautiful words in front of Wei Zhao.
With a few sarcastic words, Tang Yu didn't give her a chance, so he called Brother Qi to his side and told him with a smile: "Brother Qi must study hard, and my sister will take your homework test when she comes back."
Brother Qi looked up at her and said reluctantly: "Sister, I'll accompany you." His sister lived alone in the temple, and he was afraid that his sister would not have a companion.
Tang Yu shook his head. The reason why she went to the temple to remember her mother was that she hoped that her mother would know her underground. She only saw her daughter, not the three Rong's mother. No matter how good Brother Qi was, Tang Yu would not take him there at this time.
"It's heavy rain, don't send it away." Tang Yu patted Brother Qi'er's shoulder and turned his head to look at Wei Zhao, "Let's go."
Wei Zhao nodded, and his eldest follower Awu immediately brought the straw raincoat over.
Only one carriage was parked outside the Marquis's mansion. Yesterday, Tang Yu sent his nanny to the other yard to settle down with his maid's guarding the courtyard and brought all the things he needed. Today, it can be regarded as a light carriage. He once again reminded the managers who came out to see him off, and Tang Yu led Molan onto the carriage.
Wei Zhao rode a horse to guard the carriage, behind which were four guards of Awu and the Wei family. Wei Zhao was unable to accompany his cousin as a servant in the palace, and was not very at ease with the Tang family's guards, so he picked four of them from his home and were loyal to ensure that his cousin was foolproof.
Anguo Temple is located on Qinglong Mountain in the northwest of the capital. It was built by Emperor Gaozu of the Great Qi after ascended the throne. It means Anguo to build a country. The temple is magnificent and majestic, with the incense and the scenery on the mountain. In addition, many nobles and nobles built villas in the mountains. Every summer heat, they would come here to hide and cool, and go to Anguo Temple to worship Buddha and burn incense nearby.
The Tang family also has a villa, located halfway up the mountain. It takes about two quarters of an hour to walk to Anguo Temple at the foot of the mountain.
Wei Zhao personally deployed the guards in the yard three times. Tang Yu felt that he was too cautious. She came here every year, and she had never encountered a villain who was brave enough to steal, nor had she heard of such a thing nearby. Anguo Temple is the kingdom temple, who dared to commit crimes here? Wei Zhao didn't listen to advice and couldn't control it, so she waited for him in the front yard main hall.
At noon, Wei Zhao used vegetarian rice here, but was driven away by Tang Yu without hesitation.
Without Wei Zhao, the villa suddenly seemed particularly quiet.
Tang Yu took out the portrait of her mother whom her father gave her and hung it in the western room. The incense burner and offerings on the altar were all arranged. She knelt on the cushion and recited scriptures sincerely for her mother. She knew that her mother would be reluctant when she went there, and she couldn't bear to let her go. She also knew that if her mother was alive, she would definitely treat her like a pearl or a treasure. She was unfilial and could not miss her mother day and night. She could only set aside a few days a year to remember her whole heart.
At dusk, the rain stopped, and the monks chanted scriptures from Anguo Temple at the foot of the mountain, and Tang Yu felt a clear mind.
The next day, Tang Yu went to Anguo Temple in the early morning. After sing incense, he donated money for incense and oil, and quickly returned to the other courtyard and never went out again. She is an unmarried girl, so it is better to travel carefully and show less.
Tang came to visit him once, and saw that Tang Yu was just dressed in a clean and beautiful face. After spending a while, he went back with confidence.
Tang Yu continued to recite scriptures sincerely and copy Buddhist scriptures without hearing about things outside the window.
It was the ninth day of the 19th day of the lunar month.
In the palace, as dusk approached, Wei Zhao sent the little emperor back to Ci'an Palace and was ready to go home.
"Azhao, do you have any arrangements tomorrow?" the empress dowager asked her nephew softly.
Wei Zhao felt a little guilty and had a rest tomorrow. He wanted to visit his cousin at Anguo Temple. He didn't want to answer, so he asked the queen mother first, "Do you have any instructions?"
"Cousin, I want you to teach me to play Cuju." Song Jin looked at Wei Zhao excitedly, "My mother finally agreed to let me learn it. She can only learn it for three days a month. Cousin, you must teach me!"
Wei Zhao didn't want to accompany his cousin and childhood sweethearts. He would choose the latter if he was a man.
It's just the identity of this cousin...
Seeing him appearing as if he wanted to refuse but was worried, the queen mother smiled, "By the way, Yu'er should be in Anguo Temple at this time, right? Does Azhao want to go over to see Yu'er?"
Wei Zhao touched his head awkwardly, and his handsome face turned red.
"Then I'll go too!" Song Jin changed his mind like a child, as if he wanted to go out of the palace to play.
"No one is allowed to go." The empress dowager retorted softly. Seeing Wei Zhao looking over in confusion, she explained helplessly: "Yu'er went there to commemorate her mother. Azhao, you said, if you go there now, will she be happy to see you? And there are many noble officials who will leave the city tomorrow, so people will recognize you. When you think of Yu'er living there alone, what do you think of those people?"
Wei Zhao lowered his eyes angrily. The emperor's aunt was right. He couldn't just think about himself. How could my cousin be in a romantic mood now?
"What you teach is that I will go to the palace to accompany my cousin tomorrow."
The Queen Mother nodded and glanced at her son without a trace.
When the matter was done, Song Jin smiled easily, but thought of the beautiful sister Yu, and he felt puzzled again. The Queen Mother asked him to do things and never told him what to do without saying a reason. Song Jin understood that his mother was planning for the future of their mother and son, but Sister Yu was her cousin's fiancée. Is Queen Mother planning to deal with Sister Yu this time?
Song Jin was a little unbearable. In terms of feelings, he liked Sister Yu far more than the third princess, especially after the third princess entered the Duan Prince's Mansion.
The third princess didn't think of her royal brother at this moment. She secretly picked up a corner of the curtain and asked in confusion: "Uncle, how long will it take to arrive?"
"Half an hour." The outside of the royal carriage was ordinary, but the wheels and axles were carefully designed by skilled craftsmen, and they walked very smoothly. Song Qin leaned against the wall of the car and looked down at the scriptures in his hand. He was meditating on the Buddhist scriptures, and occasionally looked at them.
The third princess started reading and recognizing words last year, but sat next to the emperor's uncle, stared at the scriptures for a few times, but she didn't know a few. It was rare that the emperor's uncle had time to accompany her again, so the third princess cherished it very much. She leaned against the emperor's uncle's arm, and the fat little fingered a word, "How do you pronounce this uncle?"
Song Qin's brows jumped and read it coldly.
The third princess read along. Just as Song Qin was about to continue reading, the little girl asked again: "What does it mean?"
Song Qin suddenly had no intention of reading it, closed the book and said, "Go back and let the sir teach you."
The third princess nodded seriously, not knowing that her enlightenment book was about to become a profound Buddhist scripture.
"Uncle Emperor, is there anything fun in the temple? Why do you want to go to the temple?" Such a young child was just a time when he was full of curiosity. The third princess is not afraid of the emperor now, so of course she asks whatever she thinks.
Song Qin closed his eyes and said, "Buddha statue, monk."
"Oh...Uncle Emperor, why doesn't the monk have hair?"
"have no idea."
"Does the emperor take me to see the monk?"
Song Qin:...
At the same time, Song Yue was also being questioned in the Princess's Mansion.
"What if the prince just accompanied the third princess on a trip and didn't know that something happened in the Tang family's other courtyard or was indifferent, then Miss Tang?"
Song Yue seemed to have never heard of it, and he painted with ink brush in his hand, like flowing clouds and flowing water, clusters of flames leaped on the paper.
After finishing the painting of "Fire Rising" he put down his ink pen and said two words softly: "Save it."
Tonight is just a test, not once, and next time, until the goods are fully utilized.
