I went to the temple after traveling through time, and he turned out to be a monk!

The new moon hangs high, the stars twinkle inwardly, and the thin clouds are as light as floating catkins.

There are several sturdy sweet-scented osmanthus trees planted in the small courtyard that is not very spacious. The sweet-scented osmanthus trees have long since withered, leaving some remains hanging on the branches.

But the fragrance of the flowers did not dissipate and fell into the soil. Instead, another kind of fragrance grew.

The breeze came slowly, bringing with it a hint of chill, but it was unable to withstand the scorching heat of the stove and the warmth of the hot pot.

Bai Zhi felt very uncomfortable when she saw that the three siblings insisted on taking the blame on themselves. She pressed down the wine glass that Zhuo Yao insisted on raising, "Zhuo Yao, when you kidnapped me, I did blame you, blame you." You never ask me about my wishes and act on your own wishful thinking, even if you have good intentions, you cannot forgive me!"

"But, I am grateful to you and your willingness to protect my heart." Bai Zhi looked directly into Zhuo Yao's eyes, and both of them had tears in their eyes.

"Do you know that when I saw you in Cangzhou Camp, I felt that I would never suffer again." Bai Zhi choked up a little, "No matter what, I am very happy to get to know you. You have saved me many times." My life, there are thousands of emotions in the world, and the friendship between life and death is perhaps the rarest..."

As a life-and-death acquaintance, she defined the emotion between them in this way. This emotion, which had nothing to do with love but was indestructible, made Zhuo Yao happy and desperate.

He wanted more than that.

He silently put down the wine glass in his hand, unwilling to deny or admit it.

"Don't be so impulsive in the future!" Bai Zhi gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Then he turned around and took the wine glass from Zhuo Ling's hand, held her hand, and said to her: "And you, Sister Ling, I know you are the best sister in the world, but you can't be so indulgent. He! He wants stars and the moon, will you pick them for him?"

Zhuo Ling's eyes were sore, she pursed her lips and lowered her head.

"You don't have to bear the consequences of all his choices all the time. When your brothers grow up, they will bear the consequences of their choices, and you have to make a choice for yourself, right?" Bai Zhi smiled softly at Zhuo Ling. .

As soon as Zhuo Ling raised her head, she fell into Bai Zhi's tearful eyes and her extremely gentle smile.

She was inexplicably shocked, shocked by a powerful force she had never experienced before.

She could no longer hold back her tears and instantly cried like a little girl.

Bai Zhi took out the silk handkerchief she carried with her and wiped Zhuo Ling's nose and tears. Zhuo Ling took the silk handkerchief and covered her face.

Zhuo Hong sat next to Zhuo Ling and patted Zhuo Ling's back. He had never seen his sister cry like this, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.

"And you, Ah Hong! You've grown up too, don't let your sister worry so much!" Bai Zhi mentioned gently.

Zhuo Hong said "Oh". He felt that the woman in front of him was really scary. She could make his brother and sister speechless. He glanced at Meng Ying who was holding a bowl and didn't know what he was thinking. These two people How terrifying!

Xiao Yang saw them talking so lively, and he was already ready to say what he wanted to say in his heart. He said softly, "I'm sorry..."

Hearing the sound, Bai Zhi turned her head in confusion and looked at Xiao Yang in surprise, confusion written all over her face.

He lowered his head, feeling guilty, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. If I hadn't taken a long detour, if I had come back earlier... I wouldn't have let you be captured..."

Bai Zhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. If she didn't end this topic, she would not be able to get through this matter tonight!

She smiled helplessly, "Bah, bah, bah, what are you talking about!"

Xiao Yang raised his eyes and stared at Bai Zhi cautiously, with some evasion and probing in his eyes.

Unconsciously, he was testing what kind of existence he was to Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi could sense that he was sensitive and humble, like a child who was afraid of being abandoned, begging for an uncertain warmth.

Bai Zhi filled a bowl of meat and broth and poured it into Xiao Yang's bowl. The steam suddenly rose up, making Xiao Yang's eyes swell.

"Xiao Yang! I can't blame you for this. Don't say that again in the future! What can you do wrong? If you are wrong, it's the world's fault!"

Bai Zhi said it without any shame. If his life was all about chasing gains and losses, then Bai Zhi just wanted to give him some certainty.

When Xiao Yang heard this, he was stunned for a moment and couldn't speak for a long time.

"Okay! This topic is over. If anyone brings it up again, don't eat the meat tonight! I cherish this hot pot dinner tonight more than those unhappy things, and I hope that I can have this kind of meal every time. Hot pot! If you don’t enjoy the meal tonight, you’ll pay me a deer!”

Bai Zhi raised the wine glass in her hand high, "Come on! Cheers!"

With Bai Zhi's words, everyone could barely feel relieved, at least tonight.

Everyone was in high spirits, and no one noticed that Meng Ying had been silent for a long time.

The scene behind was actually a scene of harmony. Zhuo Yao and Bai Zhi had fun bickering.

This was the first time Zhuo Ling saw someone who could choke her brother like this, and she looked very happy.

Xiao Yang only stared at Bai Zhi the whole time, his eyes not moving for a moment, and his mind was still recalling what she just said.

Zhuo Hong was thinking about what Meng Ying said about letting him follow him. His heart and eyes were full of Meng Ying, and finally he couldn't help but walked over and said, "Brother Salan, you said you wanted me to do things with you. What kind of official is he?"

Meng Ying felt that he was about to fall asleep. When he was suddenly asked this question, he tried to wake up and said with gentle eyes, "What official? You can't be an official for the time being. If you become an official, the Queen Mother will definitely be afraid of you..."

Zhuo Hong panicked when he heard this, and he hesitated: "But...brother Salan..."

Meng Ying was tired and didn't want to make any calculations. Some things were clearly a matter of weighing the pros and cons. He simply said bluntly: "If you want to be an official, you must make the Queen Mother feel that he can control your brother. Then you can Become an official."

"But what does the Queen Mother want to do? She can't control the three of us siblings for the rest of our lives?" Zhuo Hong asked.

"How to do it? Shouldn't you already know? The Queen Mother didn't say that she would grant marriage to your brother and sister? Put people in the back house of the Zhennan Palace and create all kinds of loopholes to control you..."

"Ah?" Zhuo Hong looked in disbelief, then turned to ask Zhuo Yao, "Brother? Did you agree?"

"What?" Zhuo Yao's mind was all on Bai Zhi, and he didn't even listen to what they said.

"Have you agreed to the Queen Mother's marriage offer?" Zhuo Hong repeated.

Zhuo Yao looked disdainful, "How is that possible! How could I listen to her!"

Meng Ying lowered her eyes, "It's up to you whether you listen or not. If you don't agree, the Queen Mother will marry Zhuo Ling. It depends on which of you two sacrifices?"

When Zhuo Yao heard this, he frowned. It would be good for him to marry a woman, but if his sister were to marry her, she would be at the mercy of others!

But just as Meng Ying said, anyone who marries the Queen Mother will act recklessly in the Zhennan Palace, and Zhuo Yao was actually in a dilemma for a moment.

He and Zhuo Ling looked at each other, their expressions becoming heavy.

If it were in the past, Zhuo Ling would definitely choose to get married by herself, but today, she became a little hesitant. She asked: "Then does Brother Salan have any other options? If we are controlled by the Queen Mother, it will also be difficult for Brother Salan. Not a good thing.”

Meng Ying said calmly: "Yes."

Everyone looked at him, their eyes becoming very serious.

"Zhuo Yao, you go to the north and Zhuo Ling gets engaged to this king. Then they will not dare to force you because they are afraid of us joining forces."

Meng Ying spoke calmly, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

Bai Zhi was suddenly startled and stood up, "Engagement?"

Meng Ying saw the shock in her eyes, and her heart softened a little, "It's just fake."

Bai Zhi felt that she had lost her composure and sat down again.

Zhuo Yao then stood up, with an angry look on his face, and yelled at Meng Ying: "Meng Ying, what are your intentions? If I go to the north, my sister and brother are under your control? Then I will Zhennan Prince's Mansion Still not at your disposal? What’s the difference between you and the Queen Mother’s group of people?”

Meng Ying glanced at Zhuo Yao and said, "There is no difference."

The two people's eyes met in the air, Zhuo Yao's eyes were like burning fire, and Meng Ying's eyes were like ice and snow condensing.

It's hard to tell the winner.
