Chapter 34 Small Waterfall
The vegetarian meals specially prepared by the temple were delicious, and Lin Qingluan was ready to rest soon after finishing them.
After all, she was somewhat tired from walking up the mountain, and she had nothing to do in the temple, so she just went to bed early and waited until tomorrow.
An Lan patted her chest to express that she was here to watch the night. She probably thought there would be some drama in the middle of the night, but there was nothing. When Lin Qingluan got up in the morning, he saw that she was still a little unhappy and couldn't help laughing.
Accompanying the Queen Mother to worship Buddha was actually quite relaxing. The Queen Mother was very devout in her belief in Buddhism. She spent the whole morning kneeling on the futon. On the first day, she had to whisper to the Buddha and did not need Lin Qingluan to accompany him.
Luan can go shopping by himself.
Lin Qingluan had never been to Xinmen Mountain before. After asking the host, she learned that the Peace Talisman was only on sale on the 15th day of the lunar month, and there were still three days until the first day of the lunar month, so she planned to go to the mountain for a walk first.
Guards must be brought with them, but they cannot follow them too close. It would be inconvenient for the eunuchs to move out of the palace. Lin Qingluan was surrounded by a group of maids, as well as Nanny Lin, who was specially assigned to her by the Queen Mother.
Xinmen Mountain is located in the western suburbs of Beijing. It is a famous holy place for worshiping Buddha. Many people come up the mountain every day. Even the Queen Mother did not seal the gate to prevent people from entering. She only sealed the main hall and the back mountain. The front
There are still people coming and going, and the fragrance is lingering.
So Lin Qingluan walked towards the back mountain.
It was the beginning of summer, and the green mountains and green waters were also beautiful scenery. Lin Qingluan took a walk and took a look. There were also familiar people An Lan and Mu Tang beside him. It could be said that they were laughing together, and it was no different from going out for a spring outing.
Several palace maids were also very happy. After all, it was not only the concubines but also them who entered the palace gate as deep as the sea.
The palace maids of the Dasheng Dynasty could leave the palace when they reached thirty years old, but generally they did not. After all, if there was a way, no one would want to enter the palace at a young age and never be able to see their families again.
Moreover, thirty years old is the age at which ordinary people can become a grandmother. Even if you leave the palace at this age, you will not have a good home. It is better to continue in the palace, live well in the palace, be favored by the nobles, and still have some
Decent.
Therefore, these palace maids don't leave the palace very often. Even those like An Lan who are known to all the palaces and can leave the palace to help their masters, it is impossible for them to go out to play.
At that moment, everyone in the group was very happy, and everything they saw was novel. However, Granny Lin had followed the Queen Mother to Xinmen Mountain several times before, and she could also lead Lin Qingluan and the maids to see some places with particularly beautiful scenery.
.
"Through this peach blossom forest, you will reach the Biling Lake." Nanny Lin said with a smile, "The weather is good today, the breeze blows, and you can see the sparkling waves on the lake."
"Then let's have lunch here?" An Lan suggested happily.
Lin Qingluan naturally agreed, and the palace ladies cheered, turning back to find the things carried by the guards and preparing to arrange them.
"After dinner, I can go for a walk to the northwest. There is a waterfall over there, but the stream of the waterfall is adjacent to the green lake but not connected, which is interesting." Nanny Lin said with a smile.
When she said this, Lin Qingluan became a little curious, and Granny Lin said that the distance was not far, so Lin Qingluan asked the maids to prepare first, and she took An Lan and Granny Lin to the northwest.
"This waterfall is not too high and has no name, but the stream is clear and comes from a different water source than the Biling Lake. Many people come to Xinmen Mountain specifically to see these two waters."
As Nanny Lin explained in her warm voice, the sound of rushing water quickly reached everyone's ears. Then she turned a corner and walked around a small hill. Looking up, she could see the clear mountain spring water.
Splashed down.
Sure enough, as Nanny Lin said, this waterfall is not too high, and even calling it a waterfall is a bit unfair.
Lin Qingluan walked over, rolled up her sleeves, and raised her hands to catch the rushing mountain spring water. The cool touch was quite comfortable.
An Lan seemed to say something behind her, and Lin Qingluan didn't care. She originally only used one hand to receive the spring water, but now that she felt comfortable, she raised both hands to receive a handful, and even had the urge to take a sip.
"Empress."
A familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind. Lin Qingluan moved her hand, took half a cup of spring water and spilled it.
She felt a little bored in her heart, and there was dissatisfaction between her brows. The good spring water was no longer so pleasant, so she turned around and prepared to leave.
But he didn't want to be grabbed by the wrist.
Lin Qingluan glared at him: "Presumptuous!"
"Empress..." Zhou Chumu called out again. After a moment of pause, he suddenly said, "Tomorrow is my birthday."
Lin Qingluan's heart moved slightly, but she quickly reacted. She glanced back, and sure enough, Granny Lin and An Lan had already walked away, leaving only her two figures behind.
She asked back: "Did you ask Aunt Lin to bring me here?"
"I'm not sure whether I can wait until your Majesty." Zhou Chumu looked at her and smiled helplessly, even his peach blossom eyes lost some of their sparkle. He asked, "Is your Majesty so angry that I left you without saying goodbye?"
Lin Qingluan sneered coldly and shook off his hand.
She said: "Who do you think you are?"
After finishing speaking, Lin Qingluan turned around and left. But when she passed by Nanny Lin, she said softly: "Please excuse me, Nanny, to accompany me out today. You won't have to do that in the future."
Nanny Lin just stood with her hands down and her head lowered, saying nothing.
Lin Qingluan is a person who knows how to repay her kindness. Even though Granny Lin's "favour" to her may have been done at the instigation of others, she did protect her once. Lin Qingluan didn't want to embarrass her, she just didn't want to do it again.
Use her.
Back at the edge of Biling Lake, Mu Tang and others had already prepared meals. Lin Qingluan's appetite was not affected, so he sat down and had lunch with the palace maids, enjoying the lake and sky.
It can be said that someone who goes back lonely is very happy.
In the afternoon, Lin Qingluan returned to the temple and spent the entire afternoon copying scriptures with the Queen Mother in the side hall dedicated to the Bodhisattva.
On the second day, Lin Qingluan stayed with the Queen Mother for a whole day without incident. By dusk, even the Queen Mother could not sit still.
She pulled Lin Qingluan to her side, looked at her features carefully and then smiled: "Why do you feel that your temperament has changed a lot?"
Lin Qingluan was slightly frightened, but her face showed a hint of loneliness. She whispered: "Since that miscarriage, I have figured out a lot of things, and I also understand that it will take time, and there is no need to be impatient about many things."
"It's a good thing that you are able to figure this out at your age." The Queen Mother took a sip of tea and looked at her with a kind smile. "Nothing in life goes smoothly all the time. Women in the harem have always liked to worship Buddha. Do they really believe that?
Is this all? It’s not because there are too many unhappy things.”
"That's what the Queen Mother taught." Lin Qingluan replied with a smile.
"The Ai family didn't teach you anything." The Queen Mother looked deeply at Lin Qingluan, "You still need to think about it yourself."
Lin Qingluan should be the same.
"Okay, I've been with this old woman from the Ai family for a day, and it's time for you to go back and have a rest." The Queen Mother didn't know what she thought of, and sighed again, "The statue of Bixia Yuanjun is in the west hall. You can go and pay homage."
After Lin Qingluan responded, she exited the Queen Mother's wing.
As for Bixia Yuanjun? She no longer believes it.
Being childless for two lifetimes is no longer something that gods and Buddhas can protect. Lin Qingluan has no doubt about Shangguan Lie's ruthlessness, especially since she learned before she died in her previous life that the prescription was made by Yu Qingchuan.
Even if the miracle doctor is reincarnated, there is nothing he can do.
