277, behind the scenes(1/2)
Xiao Ru smiled, "Sister-in-law is right, but the emperor is also the princess' uncle. The emperor has always been filial, not only the emperor, but all the Wei family members value love and friendship. How could the position of the eldest princess be given to Master Li?"
The two of them have argued each other once or twice. They always parted in disagreement. They each have their own opinions and no one gives in to each other.
"You and I have the same original intention. I hope the princess can become the eldest princess. The princess was led by Empress Yuanzhao. How smart is Empress Yuanzhao? The princess is as smart as a mirror. Some things are too much but not too much!"
Mei'er shrugged and walked back with her foot, ignoring Xiao Ru's ridicule.
When Xiao Ru mentioned Wei Xi, her eyes darkened, she pursed her lips and did not refute again.
...
The carriage was swaying and walked for more than two hours before reaching the foot of the Jokhang Temple. The temple was prosperous. When they went there, many people walked down the mountain and took the carriage one after another.
"Sister Ran!"
Qin Yuan held Qin Ran's arm intimately, raised her head and chest, and raised her jaw very high. She was not here to burn incense, she was clearly a peacock competing for beauty!
Qin Ran pulled out her arm without moving, her face calmly, holding the corner of her skirt in one hand, stepping up the steps step by step, without looking back, "Sister Yuan, the old lady is still seriously ill, and she is sincere and will be more dignified in front of the Buddha."
One sentence made Qin Yuan's face turn red and she followed her embarrassedly. Qin Ran was obviously much smaller than her, but every time she contacted Qin Ran, her momentum always made Qin Yuan feel a little oppressed and not at all relaxed. Sometimes when she looked at Qin Ran's calm eyes, she would make her feel angry.
It was strange, how could she be afraid of a ten-year-old girl?
It must be an illusion. Qin Yuan shook her head and followed Qin Ran in a small step, "Sister Ran, grandmother will definitely be fine."
Qin Ran nodded lightly.
I climbed the mountain all the way, and it was almost evening. The temple had arranged a wing room, one person living in the east and the other person living in the west.
"Sister Ran, tomorrow morning, we will be in charge of the master preaching the Dharma scriptures, so we will get up early."
"good!"
As the sky became darker, Qin Ran smelled the faint smell of sandalwood and looked dazed until He Sui came over, "Princess, it's time to rest."
"I remember my mother's tablet was in Jokhang Temple. Aunt Qi said that my mother likes to see the pear blossoms on the back mountain of Jokhang Temple the most, blooming in a grand canyon, which is very beautiful."
He Sui was suddenly stunned and looked at Qin Ran with distress, "It's the season when pear blossoms are blooming, so don't you go and see it?"
"Of course!"
The next day
Qin Yuan got up early, wearing a simple white dress with a few sycamore flowers embroidered on the hem of the skirt, making her look more and more beautiful. Looking up, she was wearing a small phoenix hairpin on her hair, which was a bit abrupt and unnatural in her outfit.
"Sister Ran." Qin Yuan didn't dare to take off her pleasure after suffering yesterday's losses. She lowered her tone with a faint smile on her face.
Qin Ran drank half a bowl of porridge without panic and ate a few snacks. Under Qin Yuan's gaze, she slowly put down her chopsticks and wiped the corners of her mouth with a veil. Her movements were elegant, and Qin Yuan felt envious when she looked at her.
"Let's go." Qin Ran got up and went to the front hall with Qin Yuan to attend the lecture. When he went there, many people were already sitting on the futon.
Qin Yuan chose a conspicuous position and waved at Qin Ran, "Sister Ran!"
Qin Ran slowly sat down under the gaze of everyone, glanced at Qin Yuan sideways, and Qin Yuan pretended not to see him, so he was so polite to Qin Ran.
"This is?"
"Isn't this the Princess Zhangzhu?"
Several wives had met Qin Ran in Cining Palace, so they recognized him at first sight and hurriedly greeted Qin Ran.
"You ladies, don't be polite." Qin Ran's tone was faint, obviously she didn't want to talk more, and the ladies were also tactful and no longer bothered.
After listening to a lecture one morning, the two prayed for the blessings of Mrs. Qin and asked for a peace talisman that had been opened by the divination.
At noon, Qin Ran got rid of Qin Yuan and took his maid to the back mountain to relax. The mountain road was not difficult to walk. Occasionally, when I met a little shady guide, Qin Ran wanted to see the place where pear blossoms were in full bloom. The more I went, the harder it was to walk.
Qin Ran suddenly laughed, "He Sui, have you smelled it?"
He Sui shook his head in confusion, "I didn't smell anything, what did the princess smell?"
"It's the fragrance of pear blossoms, it's nearby."
Qin Ran accelerated her pace and walked around a bamboo forest and suddenly lit up before her eyes. Large areas of pear blossoms bloomed, and the breeze blew by, the snow-white pear blossoms were flying in the air, and they could touch it with one hand.
"Prince, the pear blossoms here are so white!" He Sui was shocked by the scene in front of him.
Qin Ran smiled slightly, and did not stick to the pear blossoms. She bent down and sat on the ground, tilted her head to look at the pear blossoms falling from the sky, like snow, and fell on the tip of her nose, it was very itchy and comfortable. He Sui looked at Qin Ran with a rare childlike smile, removed her guard, and showed her innocent innocence.
She almost forgot that Qin Ran was only ten years old.
Maybe he was tired, he fell asleep with his eyes closed, immersed in the fragrance. He Sui woke Qin Ran up.
"Princess, it's getting late, it's time to go back."
Qin Ran narrowed her eyes, "I finally know why my mother likes this place. When she saw such a white and beautiful pear blossom, she had no worries."
"The princess will be happy in the future."
“Yes.”
He patted the dust on his body, reached out and folded a pear branch and put it in his hand, walked back along the way he came, and walked through the bamboo forest.
"Hey, don't be anxious..."
A rippling voice came from his ears, and Qin Ran's face changed slightly. He reached out and pulled He Sui and walked quickly, not wanting to disturb the man's good things.
But the weather did not go as expected, and the sound of footsteps disturbed the man and woman.
"stop!"
Qin Ran ignored it and continued to move forward, moving faster and faster, with a tight face. It was already afternoon. There were too few people coming to the back mountain on weekdays. I was not a good person to do those dirty things in the Buddhist sphere. If I were angry, I might even kill people to silence me.
"What should I do if the princess?" He Sui panicked.
Qin Ran flexibly penetrated into the dense bamboo forest, without looking back, and walked faster and faster. He Sui said, "Princess, please go quickly, I will stop you from behind."
"Let's go together!" Qin Ran held He Sui's hand and didn't loosen. He Sui's legs were trembling. Why did she encounter such an unlucky thing?
"stop!"
With a loud roar, a figure stopped him. The man was well-dressed and his eyes were full of ruthlessness. He was holding a dagger in his hand and staring at Qin Ran fiercely.
"What did you see just now?"
Qin Ran pretended to be panic, "Snake, there is a snake in this bamboo forest, young master, go quickly."
"What else?"
"Young Master!" The woman in a blonde clothes walked out of the other end of the bamboo forest, blocking half of her face with a veil. She could only vaguely see that her eyebrows and eyes were as picturesque as she was. The woman under the veil must be a beautiful beauty, but unfortunately she was a femme fatale.
"Young Master, if this matter is leaked, my reputation will be ruined in the future." The woman in a bluish-clothed woman said in a sympathetic voice.
The man took the woman into his arms, "Don't worry, this matter will never be rumored..."
"Young Master, you and I have never met each other, why do you hurt my life? Another maid next to me has already gone down the mountain. If I am gone, you may not be able to escape after pursuing me!"
Qin Ran calmed down and sighed inwardly, why did she encounter such a thing?
"Are you three people here?"
"Nonsense, I clearly saw two people, there was no third person at all. Young Master, she was lying!" The woman pointed at Qin Ran.
Qin Ran's eyelids twitched. She ran away just now when she heard the movement here. The woman came with her feet. How could she see so clearly in a dense bamboo forest? Could it be that this is specifically targeted at her?
Thinking of this, Qin Ran raised her jaw and revealed her pointed jaw, and a hint of arrogance appeared in her tone, "Why are you sure that there is only one maid by me? If you make a mistake, I have an accident. When my family investigates it, it is easy to find out that the young master and the girl's heads. I don't have any deep hatred for both of you, and I don't hold any handle in my hands. If you say it casually, you will lose a reputation of being talkative and talking, which is really not worth it."
After hearing what Qin Ran said, the man hesitated a little.
"Young Master, when this girl saw your face, I was only worried that after I went back, my future prospects would be ruined."
The woman pulled the man's sleeve with her hand, "There are so many pilgrims coming to burn incense every day, and it's not easy to find it?"
Now Qin Ran can be sure that this woman wants her life!
Qin Ran kept thinking about who was calculating her behind her back, but she was ineffective.
"Princess, I will protect you, run away!" He Sui blocked Qin Ran's voice trembled.
"Princess?" The man laughed loudly when he heard this, "You are actually a princess. No wonder you are so arrogant and are not afraid of danger."
Qin Ran's palms were covered with delicate sweat, a sticky layer, and her heartbeat was so fast that she was careless that she actually said to the villain!
"Since you know my identity, you should stop it. My uncle is the emperor today. If I make any mistakes, your whole family will lose their heads!"
"Since you said that, I can't let you leave." The man pressed against Qin Ran step by step, and He Sui hugged the man's thigh, "Princess, run!"
Seeing this, Qin Ran was shocked and angry, and stomped her feet and ran away.
"Young master, hurry up and chase, don't let her run away!" the woman exclaimed.
He Sui gritted her teeth and hugged the man's thigh and said that she refused to let go of anything. The man cursed in a low voice, "Looking for death!"
Puch, the dagger pierced into the back, and He Sui's tears came out of pain, but he still refused to let go.
Qin Ran covered her ears with both hands and ran back all the way. Her heart was about to jump out. Her clothes were scraped by branches on the way. Her white and tender arm was scratched with several red marks, bleeding beads burst out, and she felt so painful. Her feet were filled with lead, which seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and she couldn't even lift them up.
With a bang, he fell into a small pit, his palm was shattered, and the footsteps in his ears were getting closer and closer. Qin Ran's heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and she swallowed her throat nervously. Could she be dead here?
"Little girl, is it okay?"
The man's simple face suddenly popped up in front of him, and he was carrying a quiver on his shoulder. He looked as if he was dressed up as a hunter in the mountains.
"Who are you?"
