A touch of agarwood filled the entire boudoir, and the bright moonlight slipped in through the hollow carved windows. The moonlight scattered on the floor of the room, forming specks of fine light.
The furniture in the small hall of the room is arranged in an orderly manner, and a delicate bead curtain hangs on the moon door shaped like a full moon. Behind the curtain is a canopy bed with string silk carvings, and a pink and white bed curtain is hung on the bed. The whole room
Quiet and cozy.
However, the quiet murmur of the woman behind the bed curtain broke the peaceful atmosphere.
I saw that the person on the bed was covered with a brocade quilt of moderate thickness. In this late autumn, the person on the bed was sweating profusely. The bright and charming face was now frowning slightly, and the red lips were slightly parted.
, a crying voice emerged from his lips.
"Xiao Mi..."
Suddenly, she called out a name, and immediately she emerged from the nightmare.
Yu Shuyue's usually calm eyes were now wet. She was panting heavily, her chest rising and falling.
After a long time, she finally came out of the dream. She slowly sat up and leaned on the pillow, closing her eyes and thinking.
"Xiao Mi?"
Her voice was slightly hoarse, and as soon as she uttered the name, she felt a heavy feeling in her chest, as if there was a handful of cotton stuffed there, making it difficult for her to breathe.
"Who are you?" she couldn't help but murmured to herself.
The scene in the dream could not be clearly seen. She repeated the previous dream over and over again, jumping off the city wall, and every time she felt the discomfort of weightlessness in the dream.
This time the dream finally changed, but it still didn't help her at all. Apart from the name, she couldn't remember any other information.
She probably knew at this moment that her dream was probably just like the folk tale book, a complete story, but she couldn't get a glimpse of the story yet, it could only be spliced together fragment by fragment.
But at present, she only has two vague dreams and the two names "Shi'an" and "Xiao Mi", and she is still unable to piece them together into a complete story.
However, although she could not fully understand the story, she knew that it was definitely not a funny story that made people happy. After all, every dream made her feel sour, astringent and painful.
What she is now sure of is that this dream is related to Shangjing City. After all, she had hardly dreamed in the past thirteen years, and she only started dreaming after she left for Shangjing City a month ago.
Now it is useless no matter how much she thinks about it, because the dream is illusory and she cannot see clearly, and there is indeed an undercurrent surging in the capital city.
All she could do was to be as cautious as possible in her words and actions so as not to cause trouble to her father and brother.
Yu Shuyue's restless thoughts due to the dream finally slowly calmed down. She exhaled deeply, her whole body was soaked with sweat, and she felt very uncomfortable.
"Peony."
Outside the boudoir, Shaoyao heard her lady's voice, rubbed her sleepy eyes and pushed open the door.
"Miss, are you dreaming again? You have hardly had any dreams since you were a child. Why have you been dreaming so frequently in the past month? Why don't you, slave, accompany you to the Huayan Temple in the suburbs to worship the Buddha? I heard that this temple is very good."
Shaoyao was very distressed when she saw that her young lady's clothes were soaked with sweat. While waiting for her to change into dry pajamas, she also gave her advice.
"It has not been ten days since I returned to Beijing, and you already know which temple has miraculous effects. You are indeed my most considerate sister Shaoyao."
Shaoyao was bought by Yu Shuyue from Renyazi with her father when she was three years old. At that time, Shaoyao was already seven years old, four years older than Yu Shuyue.
The two grew up together. Although they are master and servant, they are also sisters.
"This slave can't take the credit."
Seeing the relaxed smile on the young lady's face again, Shaoyao breathed a long sigh of relief.
After hearing this, Yu Shuyue's eyebrows relaxed completely. At this moment, she completely forgot about the trouble that the dream had brought to her. She asked her without raising her head, "Is Zi Wan back?"
Zi Yuan is another of her maids, with good skills. She returned to Shangjing City ahead of Yu Shuyue and the others, just to find out the news for her in advance.
"I'm back. I saw you resting and didn't come over to say hello."
"Then let's go to the temple that Ziyuan mentioned tomorrow and see what kind of spiritual method it is."
Yu Shuyue didn't really believe this. After all, she had seen a lot of life and death outside the Great Wall since she was a child. However, she had indeed been disturbed by dreams for a long time, so there was no harm in going to pay her respects.
…
The next day, the back garden of the East Palace.
The dog slaves around him have been dealt with, and there is no news from the Queen yet. Before the new spy is placed beside him, Qi Xiuyao can live a comfortable life for a few days.
Qi Xiuyao was lying lazily on a Taishi chair, holding a handful of bird food in his hand and teasing the parrot beside him with a relaxed expression.
"Your Highness."
Suddenly, Yingyi appeared in front of him, half-kneeling and respectfully presented the note in his hand to his eyes.
Qi Xiuyao took it and opened it. After reading the message on the note, he stood up from the Imperial Master's chair with a bang, put the bird seed in his hand back into the food jar aside, raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, and shouted loudly: "Hua'an."
"The slave is here."
"Serve Gu Kuanyi."
Qi Xiuyao, who had always been lazy and unsmiling, was now like a peacock with its tail open, his good mood written directly on his face, which frightened the servants in the Prince's Mansion.
"Your Highness, you said that going out must be in line with your personality at this time..."
Hua An looked at the black wide-sleeved python robe that His Royal Highness was holding, and despite the pressure, reminded him responsibly.
Qi Xiuyao glanced at him coolly, and slowly lowered the corners of his raised mouth.
When Hua An received his gaze, he quickly lowered his head and did not dare to speak any more. He had already been brave once and did not dare to do the same thing again.
Qi Xiuyao lowered his head and looked at the clothes in his hands, and finally put them down, letting Hua'an dress him up and put on a large moon-colored Sichuan brocade dark flower robe, with a lake-blue jade-embellished belt tied around his waist, which was low-key and inconspicuous, and at the same time added to it.
A touch of bright color.
Finally, I got into a wheelchair and was pushed out by him.
…
Huayan Temple is located on a mountain in the southern suburbs of Shangjing City, a full twenty miles away from the city. Yu Shuyue prepared to leave for Huayan Temple early.
An hour and a half later, Yu Shuyue and his party finally arrived at the foot of Huayan Temple. There are more than a thousand steps from the foot of the mountain to the top of the temple, also known as the Qianyun Ladder.
There is no other way to go up the mountain, which is undoubtedly a big challenge for the pampered ladies of the capital.
But despite this, Huayan Temple still has an endless stream of pilgrims visiting it every day. Yu Shuyue watched those famous ladies get off the carriage and go up the mountain without stopping for a moment. This made her have a strong impression of Huayan Temple.
interest of.
"Hey, isn't this His Highness the Crown Prince? It's rare to meet you in this world today. Master Huairang of Huayan Temple is not only profound in Buddhism, but also has the ability to cure stubborn illnesses. In the past, Prime Minister Gu personally came to invite Master Huairang.
, but unfortunately we meet Master Huairang every time when he travels around. Could it be that this time, His Highness, you will come to visit Master Huairang in person?"
"But, can you climb the Qianyun Ladder with more than a thousand steps?" This chapter has been completed!
