Chapter 312 New Year's Eve, Snow Night, Apricot Blossoms
In the Zen room of Princess Huaguang in Hesi, Shao Shuhuan looked at the middle-aged beauty who was still in a dress in a dress, and couldn't help but sigh softly in her heart. Princess Huaguang was born graceful and luxurious. Over the years, the practice of Qianhe Temple has not only not erased the nobleness of her princess, but has become more elegant and calm.
Princess Huaguang's face is like a full moon, her eyes are like cold stars, her long eyebrows are delicate and reserved noble. The eyebrows are vaguely similar to Emperor Zhou.
Fang was considered a beauty back then, but she was really inferior to Princess Huaguang. Shao Shuhuan couldn't help but call Shao She injustice. Such a beauty was miserable and was accompanied by Qingdeng Ancient Buddha for twenty years.
Princess Huaguang was also looking at Shao Shuhuan. Although she was in the Qianhe Temple, she still knew some rumors about Shao Shuhuan, and even had a "Stone Story" on her case.
Shao Shuhuan was wearing only a silver-white brocade robe, but it made him look more and more like a beautiful tree and a handsome man.
"Sure enough, she looks good, just like you are a mother." Princess Huaguang first puts together and greets him. In a vague way, through Shao Shuhuan, she seemed to see the graceful and beautiful man again back then. Unfortunately, her beauty was in a desperate situation.
Shao Shuhuan also bowed and returned the ceremony: "Shao Shuhuan has met His Royal Highness the Princess!"
Princess Huaguang was a little surprised and made a "invitation" gesture, asking Shao Shuhuan to sit down, and then sighed: "It's New Year's Eve, and secular families have a reunion dinner. Why did the young master come to this ancient temple alone?" She just heard the nun reply and was really surprised. Why did he come at this time?
"I am homeless, so I'm here to ask His Highness the Princess to take her in for one night." Shao Shuhuan sighed softly.
"Why is this?" Princess Huaguang asked in confusion.
"This is what my father asked me to give to His Highness the Princess." Shao Shuhuan took out the square brocade handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it over.
Princess Huaguang was stunned when she saw him breaking the topic. But she was born in the royal family since childhood and was many times more sensitive to the struggles of the palace, fame, wealth and officialdom, than ordinary people. She didn't ask more questions after hearing this.
He took the brocade and looked at it briefly. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He put it in his sleeves and sighed: "He is really interested. But - poor old man was white. If it were a few years ago, I would have some thoughts. Now... it's better!"
"The princess is as beautiful as ever. Why did she say this?" Shao Shuhuan said deliberately.
Princess Hua Guang didn't want to talk about this issue anymore: "She is in the backyard. Don't you want to meet her?"
Shao Shuhuan shook his head: "Seeing or not seeing is the same. It is better to not see it."
"That's fine. But Qianhe Temple is all nuns. If I accept you here for the night, I'm afraid it's inappropriate." Princess Huaguang stood up. "You'd better go back!"
"It's okay, I only stayed in the front hall for one night and left at dawn." Shao Shuhuan smiled.
Hua Guang nodded and said, "Since that's the case, it's up to you!"
"It's getting late, Shuhuan will no longer disturb the princess's cultivation!" Shao Shuhuan stood up and bowed to Princess Huaguang.
Hua Guang nodded and smiled and ordered a nun to take him to the front hall. Since Qianhe Temple is a nunnery, it only worships Guanyin Master. Although it is surrounded by lights and candles, the huge hall still looks extremely deserted.
The nun brought a pot of hot tea, put it in a charcoal basin, closed the door, and quietly retreated.
Although Princess Huaguang is not as introverted as an ordinary monk, her birth since childhood made her proud. Qianhe Temple would not be given alms by donors from all directions. The supply provided was paid by the court, so it was naturally unique.
Shao Shuhuan looked up at the dignified and plump statue of Guanyin Master, dressed in white and dressed in plain clothes, and his eyebrows were awe-inspiring. He was kind and majestic, which made people not to be ignored.
In his previous life, he never believed in the sayings of gods and Buddhas, but in this life he came to this world that did not originally belong to him. Although he still did not believe in gods and Buddhas, he felt a sense of awe in his heart.
Kneeled on the thin group in front of the hall, put it together and bowed three times, but did not get up, just staring at the Guanyin Master in a daze.
……………………
After the second update, Shao She took a bus back to Qingyao Villa. He was worried that Shao Shuhuan would not go back to Fengheyuan, but walked towards Yanziwu.
As soon as he arrived at the door, Wang Tai greeted him and bowed: "Mr. Shao is back, where is His Highness?"
Shao She was stunned and suddenly asked in surprise: "What did you say?"
Wang Tai was stunned and asked anxiously: "Mr. Shao, where is Your Highness? Haven't you come back yet?"
"Is Shuhuan at home?" Shao She suddenly felt a cold sweat on his back, and he was so scared that he was so anxious that he asked, "What's going on?"
Wang Tai had already come back to his senses in an instant, and was shocked and busy calming himself down. Then he said, "Didn't your highness go back with Lord Shao? Why didn't you come back together?"
"When did he go back with me?" Shao She was very angry, but he already understood that Shao Shuhuan was not in Qingyao Villa and had not come back yet.
Wang Tai closed his eyes, patted his forehead vigorously, and said in surprise: "Mr. Shao, don't scare the slaves, where can this Emperor who is fighting for the New Year go?"
"Don't worry, go to the palace to ask. Maybe he went to His Majesty's side." Shao She said hurriedly.
"Yes..." Wang Tai agreed, not caring about so many things, and ran towards the palace in a flash.
Shao She took a deep breath and summoned another little eunuch who served him. After asking a question, he finally realized that just before he left, Shao Shuhuan changed his clothes and went out alone. Originally, he had his own personal guards and guards, and the little eunuchs were waiting with him, but today he said that he didn't need them to serve him, but only a few steps away, he walked over by himself, and also had their leave during the New Year.
Mianmian, Feifei and other girls have already made their leave. When they go back to celebrate the New Year, there are only a few eunuchs who are serving in the palace in Shao Shuhuan's room. They are naturally happy to hear this, so they prepare wine and food in the room, and everyone plays Go and drinks and have fun. Unexpectedly, they suddenly heard that Shao Shuhuan had not gone to Shao's house at all, and they have not come back since then, and they are suddenly panicked.
They were all served in the palace, so they naturally knew the rules. Once Shao Shuhuan had a mistake, it would not be enough to borrow a few of their heads.
Immediately, the entire Qingyao Villa was in chaos, and all the eunuchs were busy and searching everywhere.
Shao She sighed, turned around and looked at Yao Hong beside her and said, "You go back and ask, is Your Highness Shuhuan going to pass today?" Shao Shuhuan almost turned against him on the spot when he wrote a letter to Nan Xia in the afternoon, so he naturally would not go to Shao's mansion tonight.
Yaohong also knew that the situation was serious and ran away in a hurry. Shao She sat down in Shao Shuhuan's study and waited.
.
After a moment, Emperor Zhou also rushed over. Then, Shao You, Shao Ting and Shao Qing also came with people. When Emperor Zhou saw Shao She, his face changed and asked, "What's going on?"
The rest of the people were silent, how could they say anything?
"Why did you alarm Your Majesty?" Shao She said hurriedly.
"Where is Shuhuan?" Emperor Zhou asked anxiously.
"I don't know either!" Shao She hurriedly bowed and replied.
"Shao Ting--" Emperor Zhou couldn't help but raise his voice and shouted loudly. He knew that Shao Ting had been very close to Shao Shuhuan recently, and he should have known where Shao Shuhuan was going.
Shao Ting hurriedly bowed and said, "Report to Your Majesty, I came to invite Your Highness in the morning, and Your Highness also agreed to come to join in the fun at night. Unexpectedly, my father said at night that Shuhuan was unwell and would not come..." He turned all the blame on Shao She very unkindly.
"Shao Aiqing, you..." Emperor Zhou said angrily, "I take special care of you and let you..."
"He had a quarrel with me in the afternoon!" Shao She took a deep breath, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I think he might just go out for a walk and there will be no trouble. He is such a big man, and he can't go back to the capital and will be lost."
"Shut up!" Emperor Zhou said angrily, "It's all good things you did."
"My name..." Shao She complained, how did he count it on him?
"Your Majesty, I think it's important to find Your Highness Huan first. It's New Year's Eve. Even inns, restaurants, etc., it's usually not open. Think about it, where may Your Highness Huan go?" Shao You, who had not spoken, hurriedly said.
"There are two places, he may go!" Shao Ting said hurriedly.
"Oh?" asked Emperor Zhou, "Where is it?"
"Bishui Pavilion and Qianhe Temple!" Shao Ting said hurriedly.
Shao She's heart moved, and suddenly remembered the Jinpa whom he asked him to write an inscription in the afternoon, and immediately sighed: "He should have gone to Qianhe Temple."
"How can I see it?" asked Emperor Zhou.
"In the afternoon, he asked me to write an inscription and it should have been given to His Highness Princess Huaguang. Now he is not in Qingyao Villa, but it is New Year's Eve. He cannot go to other places, so he can only go to Qianhe Temple." Shao She hurriedly said.
"What are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry to Qianhe Temple to find someone for me?" Emperor Zhou said angrily.
"I'll go now!" Shao Qing said hurriedly, and said, busy taking the people away.
Shao Ting said anxiously: "I'll go with you." Shao You thought about it and was embarrassed to stay. Emperor Zhou was furious and even blamed him. He was busy saying goodbye and followed Shao Ting and others to Qianhe Temple to find someone. Although at this time, he really wanted to go home to sleep.
Shao She opened his mouth and wanted to say, "He went to Qianhe Temple, and he will naturally come back tomorrow. What should I find? Such a big man will be lost in the capital?" But seeing that Emperor Zhou was very angry, he could only swallow the words he said.
"Your Majesty, it's late at night. Please go back to the palace to rest. I'm just waiting here." Shao She saw that he and Emperor Zhou were left in the room, and said with a wry smile, "Your Highness Shuhuan will be fine."
"This child is afraid he misunderstood me!" Emperor Zhou shook his head and said.
"What did Your Majesty do?" Shao She asked in confusion.
"In the afternoon, he went to Jingyang Palace to see me, but I didn't see him.
"The Emperor Zhou sighed. He just didn't know how to explain to him. He agreed to give him what he gave him, but now he couldn't give it. Instead of being embarrassed and embarrassed, it would be better to avoid it. But obviously, Shao Shuhuan might have misunderstood.
"No wonder!" Shao She said in his heart.
"Didn't I take care of you and ask you to take him back to the Shao family? Everyone talked and laughed, and he also relieved his boredom. He felt uncomfortable. Don't I know?" Emperor Zhou sighed.
……………………
It was almost three o'clock, and the front hall of Qianhe Temple had a more cold feeling. Shao Shuhuan stood up slowly and stood up and walked out. Outside, the snow seemed to be getting bigger, covering the sky and the cold wind blew, and it was biting cold. He put the expensive golden fur on his body and walked slowly outside.
But when his back disappeared in the snowy night, two carriages and a team of personal guards rushed towards him with lanterns, but they were just completely staggering their feet.
Shao Shuhuan naturally didn't know that he wanted to be pure and purity, but even His Majesty was alarmed.
Leaving Qianhe Temple, it was a snowy night, and there was a reflection in the white, which was not too dark. Following the familiar roads in the capital, bypassing the tall and majestic palace walls, and walking towards Shao Mansion.
There was an empty house in the alley behind Shao Mansion. Shao Shuhuan touched the copper key in his hand, walked to the door, groped and opened the door, walked through the yard and walked into the room, found half a candle, took out a fire break and lit it, searched everywhere, and finally found the shovel at the corner outside.
There is an apricot tree in the yard. He planted it with his own hands a year ago. Now it has grown a little a year ago. However, in such a cold weather, the rest are only bare branches.
Throwing the expensive golden fur next to him, Shao Shuhuan raised the iron shovel and began to dig the soil. However, the pampering life for more than a year has made him really noble. He has been waiting for him while walking and eating. When did he ever make such swear words? In just a moment, blisters were grinding out of his palms.
Shao Shuhuan couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. Although he lived in a big city in his previous life, he was still the one who didn't want to have a farm, but he was not like he is now.
After a while, he took the iron shovel and continued to dig. In a year, the roots of the apricot blossom tree grew a lot. Shao Shuhuan had a lot of energy and finally dug it out, lay in the tree pit, pulled off the floating soil above, and a wooden box wrapped in thick oil cloth paper was exposed. Shao Shuhuan carefully took out the wooden box and opened it. He saw that the gold and silk were still there. Only then did he feel relieved.
Take out the gold and silk, put it in close contact, and remove the two handkerchiefs that you usually use, and still fold them in a wooden box. They still wrap them in an oil cloth, put them in a tree pit, cover the floating soil, and take some effort to plant the apricot tree again. Cover the soil and decorate it with snow from the side.
Shao Shuhuan looked at it and it was already vaguely shining in the sky. It was almost dawn, but the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and soon all the traces would be submerged. However, his mud was covered with mud and his palms were also worn out. After thinking about it, he picked up a few rough stones when he went out, and simply grinded his palms hard, and blood penetrated out. Although the pain was so tight, he smiled.
After packing everything, I still locked the door, turned around and walked towards Qingyao Villa. (To be continued,)
