After chatting for a long time, it was already time for the sun to set.

Meng Ying looked at the brilliant afterglow outside the door and suggested to Bai Zhi, "You have been sitting here for a long time, why don't you go for a walk."

Bai Zhi nodded with a smile, her expression couldn't hide her joy.

The two walked side by side in the bamboo forest, Meng Ying always keeping a distant distance from Bai Zhi. If Bai Zhi is a little biased, then Meng Ying will be a little biased as well.

Bai Zhi didn't notice it at first. It wasn't until she squeezed Meng Ying out of the trail that she corrected the route.

I couldn't help but feel disappointed. Although he was a very nice person, he would not be held responsible for anything he did wrong, and he would solve all the mistakes you made. He would listen carefully to whatever you said and tell you what you should do, but it seemed that he didn't care about anything. Don't get close to him.

Unable to hold back his curiosity, he casually asked, "Your Majesty, why do you want to be a monk? Are you a real monk or a fake monk?"

Meng Ying tilted her head and was stunned for a moment. The peaceful emotion in her eyes disappeared and was gradually replaced by sadness. "Salan grew up in a temple. Although she has returned to secular life now, her bond with Buddhism has long been buried deep and she cannot return to the mortal world."

Bai Zhi looked understanding, nodded, and wanted to continue asking, "Then why" do you want to marry again?

"Princess, don't ask any more, Sa Lan's matter is not worth mentioning." Meng Ying interrupted what Bai Zhi wanted to ask.

This was the first time that the prince interrupted himself. Just like Xiao Yang said, he seemed not to want others to inquire into his past.

"Oh! Okay, but I think you are just a fake monk..." Bai Zhi pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice.

Meng Ying chuckled lightly, "The princess is right, Salan is indeed not worthy of being a monk, nor is she worthy of being an ordinary person."

It's like being suspended on a rope between the natural chasm, unable to move up or down, teetering on the edge, and feeling terrified all day long.

Bai Zhi could hear the subtle sadness in his words. If he continued to speak, she would touch the protective shell in his heart and quickly changed the topic.

Walking along the bamboo forest, we came to a hill. There was a pavilion on the hill, and meals were already laid out in the pavilion.

Bai Zhi said in surprise: "When did the prince prepare it? Are we having dinner here tonight?"

Meng Ying smiled slightly and said, "Yes. I sent someone to prepare it at noon. The scenery here is very good. It's a bit boring if you look at it alone for a long time. Maybe multiple people can see the scenery differently."

If someone else said this, Bai Zhi would feel somewhat ambiguous. But if Meng Ying said it, Bai Zhi could only hear a little loneliness.

Bai Zhi turned around and looked around. The place was facing the setting sun, and the floating clouds were dyed red, blue and purple. It was really beautiful.

He hurriedly patted his butt and sat down, showing his enthusiasm, "Your Highness, come and sit down! I'm hungry!"

Meng Ying sat down with a smile and rearranged the dishes on the table. His side was full of vegetarian dishes, and all the exquisitely crafted meat dishes were placed in front of Bai Zhi. "I don't know if they are to the princess's taste."

Bai Zhi enthusiastically took a bite of all the dishes in front of her and said they were delicious. Seeing Meng Ying only eating the stir-fried cabbage in front of her, she secretly thought that being a monk is really hard.

"Princess, do you feel tired today?" Meng Ying asked lightly.

Bai Zhi shook her head, "I'm not tired."

"Even if you are not tired, you should go back and take a good rest. Your eyes are red and swollen. If you continue to endure it, you may get the root cause of the disease."

Time passed quickly between meals, and night fell.

Without the sun, the breeze felt cool, and Bai Zhi couldn't help but shiver.

Meng Ying carefully caught her slight trembling, took off her gown, and gently draped it on Bai Zhi's back, "Let's go back when we're full."

Bai Zhi straightened the white shirt on her body, and the smell of sandalwood lingered in her nose, making people intoxicated.

The two walked back to Yuanchen Residence. Meng Ying lit the lamp and rummaged around in the cabinet. After a long while, she came out with an object and placed it in Bai Zhi's palm.

They are two flawless white round jade stones. Put them in the palm of your hand, and the coolness will spread through the skin and flesh all over your body instantly.

"This is Tianshan Han Jade. Use it to rub your eyes at night. It will definitely have miraculous effects tomorrow. Let's go, Sa Lan will take you back to the monastery."

Bai Zhi was wrapped in such meticulous care, unable to say a single word "no", and followed Meng Ying numbly.

Meng Ying held a lantern and walked on the bamboo forest path. No one held a lamp in this section, and the surroundings were dark and empty. Bai Zhi unconsciously got closer to Meng Ying.

Meng Ying did not hide far away this time, but let her get closer, then stretched out an arm and put her hand in his sleeve, "If the princess is afraid, just support Sa Lan."

Bai Zhi put her hand on it without thinking, feeling secretly happy in her heart.

After a while, I felt that I was too horny. After all, I had just met this person for the first time today, so he leaned on her so eagerly. It was simply too unreserved. But I can't resist the fact that the other person is handsome and impeccably gentle. I just want to be close to him, closer, and closer.

Along the way, Bai Zhi was torn between these two thoughts, and she couldn't help but reveal a silly smile on her lips.

Meng Ying felt the hand holding her arm tightening and tightening. She looked down and saw the little girl in front of her, suppressing a giggle and not knowing what she was thinking.

Seeing her like this, he couldn't help but curl up his lips. He didn't bother her, but he slowed down unknowingly, letting the road get longer and longer.

After walking for a long time, we arrived at Luochanyuan.

Lihua dozed off while waiting in the yard. When she heard a noise, she stood up suddenly and said, "Mother, you are back..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Meng Ying beside him and hurriedly saluted, "Your Majesty."

Meng Ying said calmly, "Go and get water for the princess to take a bath."

Lihua was so frightened that she answered yes and ran away.

Send Bai Zhi back to the yard. Meng Yingcai left Luochanyuan with the lantern and walked slowly back to Yuanchen Residence.

Walking to the entrance of the bamboo forest, he called softly, "Xiao Yang."

Xiao Yang suddenly appeared from the darkness, "Your Majesty."

"Send someone to check if there are any birthmarks on Bai Zhi's body."

"Go to Xiliang to check?"

"No, no one in Xiliang will care about whether she has a birthmark on her body. Go to the palace to find a nun who will perform a physical examination. As a rule, women who marry into the royal family will have their physical examination done."

"My lord, do you suspect that she is not Bai Zhi?"

"It's better to be careful. Don't let your emotions sway you."

When Xiao Yang heard this sentence, he always felt strange, but he didn't know where the blame lay. He just answered yes casually, and then continued to ask, "My lord, did you give Tianshan cold jade to the princess?"

"Ah."

"Don't you always treasure it?" Xiao Yang asked sarcastically, not daring to touch Meng Ying's past.

“To cherish the things of the dead is only to deceive yourself and others.”

Xiao Yang: "..."

Bai Zhi was lying in the bathtub full of flower petals, playing with two Tianshan cold jade balls in her hands, smiling like a nymphomaniac.

Seeing her like this, Lihua couldn't help laughing and teasing, "I was so scared yesterday, why am I like this today."

Bai Zhi smiled and replied: "You still have the nerve to say, why didn't you tell me that the prince is a monk!"

Lihua was also a little confused, "Don't everyone know this? Who would say it specifically!"

"Hahaha, okay! Where is the child?"

"I just took him to take a bath, wolfed down a lot of meat, and then fell asleep."

Bai Zhi nodded, "Well, it's good if you can eat. Only those who can eat have the courage to live."

After bathing, Bai Zhi asked Lihua to light sandalwood for herself. The light fragrance filled the room, and Bai Zhi was so excited that she couldn't help but roll on the bed.

After rolling for a long time, he lay on the bed and rubbed his eyes with the cold jade ball, but as soon as he closed his eyes, Meng Ying's faint smile appeared.

I don't know what time it was before I fell asleep with a smile on my face.
