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

At noon, it’s time for lunch. Bai Zhi and Meng Ying walked side by side through the small deserted garden.

Lihua ran over anxiously, "Mother, that child tried to escape again, but Xiao Yang caught him."

"Where is it?" Bai Zhi asked hurriedly.

"Qingfeng Hall."

Several people hurriedly came to Qingfeng Hall and saw Xiao Yang leaning on a chair with long arms and legs, while the blue-eyed child was holding a package tightly and was forced to a corner, with his head lowered and not looking at anyone. .

When Xiao Yang saw Meng Ying coming, he restrained his posture and said angrily: "He stole the princess's things, bribed the servants, and was about to run away. I caught him!"

When Bai Zhi heard this, she thanked Xiao Yang, then squatted in front of the child and asked softly: "Where do you want to go? Can you tell my sister? I will take you back."

The child raised his head slightly and glanced at Bai Zhi. He wanted to say something, but he hesitated a little. So he lowered his head and continued to remain silent.

Meng Ying also squatted down slowly and looked at her carefully. Her skin was whiter than snow, her blue eyes were as transparent as glass, her eyelashes were long and thick, and her hair roots were slightly curled.

Seeing that he was very unwilling to communicate, Meng Ying frowned slightly and said warmly: "If you run out, with your appearance, you will be caught and sold soon."

The child's body trembled slightly, as if he was a little scared.

Meng Ying stretched out her hand, checked his fingernails and joints, then gently reached out to lift his chin, pinching his cheeks, revealing a few missing teeth.

Then he opened his mouth and spoke in a language that no one understood.

The child's eyes suddenly lit up, and he answered Meng Ying in the same incomprehensible language.

Everyone was overjoyed because this should be the first time he spoke for several days.

Bai Zhi looked at Meng Ying with admiration, and she could speak foreign languages, as if he was the savior. This look in her eyes made Meng Ying feel a little inexplicable excitement.

Meng Ying unconsciously pulled him to a chair and sat down, and the two continued to communicate.

After chatting for a while, Meng Ying sighed slightly and looked serious.

Bai Zhi hurriedly brought a cup of tea and asked diligently: "What's wrong, Your Majesty, is it difficult?"

Meng Ying pursed her lips and nodded slightly, "This child is from Beiyuan. He is only eleven or twelve years old. It must have been four or five years since he was captured and brought to Chen Kingdom."

"Doesn't that mean he was abducted at the age of five or six?" Bai Zhi glanced at the child and felt very pitiful.

"Yes. Years of abuse have caused him to have some memory loss. Now he only knows that his former family members called him Alo, and he doesn't know anything about the rest."

"Is Beiyuan far away?"

"It's far, but it's not inaccessible. It only takes two or three months to walk."

"But Princess, Sa Lan thinks it's better not to send him back in a hurry."

"Why?"

"Even in Beiyuan, there are very few people with blue eyes. As far as Sa Lan knows, the former Queen Mi of Beiyuan is a blue-eyed beauty. Seven years ago, there was a rebellion in Beiyuan. The former King of Beiyuan died in battle, and the rest of the people fled in all directions. . Some escaped, and some were killed by the current King of Beiyuan. If this blue-eyed child is sent back now, he will probably become the target of their hunt. "

Bai Zhi frowned and nodded, "So that's it."

She glanced at the child and then at Meng Ying, "If I keep him by my side, will it bring trouble to the prince?"

Meng Ying fell into deep thought. If Beiyuan's spies knew the existence of this child, they would probably ask Meng Ying to hand it over, and even stir up trouble on the grounds that King Ning secretly colluded with the remnants of Beiyuan's previous dynasty. The best way right now is to send him away and let him fend for himself.

Those eyes are so eye-catching. If you leave the palace, there will be people from Beiyuan on one side, people from the prince on the other, and some people with bad intentions. It is difficult for this child to live as a normal human being.

Bai Zhi looked at Meng Ying's silence, forced herself to cheer up, and said with a forced smile: "It's okay, Your Majesty. Give me some time, and I'll find a good place for him."

Meng Ying raised her head and looked at the man in front of her with a forced smile, feeling a little unbearable. Anyway, he would send her away in two years at most, and it would be good to leave her with someone to keep her company. Besides, it is not difficult to hide someone in Prince Ning's Mansion for two years.

Suddenly he smiled and said, "Princess has misunderstood, how can there be any trouble? Don't dare to trouble Sa Lan! If you want to stay, just stay!"

"real?!"

"real."

"really?!"

Meng Ying looked at her starry eyes and couldn't help laughing, shaking her head and laughing, "Of course it's true."

When Bai Zhi heard this, she took Meng Ying's hand and couldn't hide the joy on her face, "Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty is so kind! You are the best Prince in the world!"

The flattery was so loud that Meng Ying blushed a little.

Xiao Yang's eyebrows twitched as he watched from behind. Lihua suppressed a smile.

After finally waiting for Bai Zhi to calm down, Meng Ying spoke, "Don't be too happy. This child grew up in Beiyuan. He was kidnapped and abused when he was young. He is basically illiterate and has a limited understanding of language. He can only understand some simple words. . In order for him to live like a normal person, he must first be taught to read and speak Mandarin."

"Do you want to ask him to teach?" Bai Zhi asked.

"That's not necessary. You can set aside an hour every day and Sa Lan will teach him personally."

Bai Zhi took the child's little hand and said happily: "Aluo, please thank the prince!"

A Luo could barely understand the meaning of the words. He also knew the other party's good intentions, and when he communicated with the prince before, the prince had already explained the current situation to him. Although I feel unwilling, I am also grateful to the people in front of me.

He couldn't say the words of thanks. He felt the warm palm holding his hand and felt warm in his heart. He said in a very lame tone, "I...want to eat...that day's chicken..."

This serious and lame sentence made everyone stunned and looked at each other, and then Bai Zhi realized in surprise, "He wants to eat the kiln-roasted chicken that day!"

Lihua said: "The boy is quite good at eating!"

Bai Zhi smiled and said, "I want to eat it too, but I didn't get anything hot that day."

Xiao Yang looked at Bai Zhi's faint smile and felt a little softer. He weighed the sword in his hand and turned around calmly, "I'll buy it."

It was already time for lunch. Looking at the dishes on the table, Bai Zhi was thinking about the roasted chicken. She was afraid that Meng Ying would be hungry, so she comforted her: "Your Majesty, I think we will have to queue for a long time, why don't you eat first?"

Meng Ying shook her head, "Sa Lan, don't be in a hurry, just wait."

Sure enough, Xiao Yang came back after a while, carrying two kiln-roasted chickens in his hands.

Bai Zhi exclaimed, "Why is it so fast today?"

Xiao Yang pulled the corners of his mouth into a smile, his features were flying, and he had a bit of a free and uninhibited look, "I put the sword against his neck, do you dare not do it to me first?"

Bai Zhi really felt sorry for the store owner, but couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food, so she gave Xiao Yang a thumbs up. Xiao Yang was disturbed.

Then he gently peeled off the oil paper, and two golden, fat chickens were revealed in front of him. Bai Zhi couldn't wait to tear off a leg with her hands, but it was a little hot when she touched it. She quickly retracted her hand and blew on her lips.

Meng Ying saw this action, looked at the meat in her hand, and saw the joy in her eyes. Suddenly I felt like I was far away from her.

Bai Zhi ripped off the chicken leg without any thought, and handed it to Meng Ying first, "My lord, do you want to eat it?"

Suddenly, Meng Ying felt her head numb. I just felt like I was suspended between a cliff, and someone below was shouting loudly, "My lord, jump down, and I will catch you."

But in Meng Ying's eyes, she could only see the bloody flesh and blood after jumping, and she was beyond recovery.

He smiled lightly, holding the Buddhist beads tightly with one hand, and picked up the chopsticks with the other hand, adding a chopstick of vegetarian food for himself, "Princess, you eat it, Sa Lan does not eat meat."

Bai Zhi felt a little regretful, so she gave her leg to A Luo. Then it was given to Lihua and Xiao Yang, but both of them waved their hands and refused.

Bai Zhi was puzzled. She followed Lihua's wandering eyes and saw Meng Ying eating food gracefully. It turned out that because of the difference between master and servant, the two of them did not dare to be presumptuous in front of the prince.

Meng Ying chuckled, "Let's sit down and eat together."

Now the four of them started to carve up the kiln-roasted chicken, and they were having a great time grabbing it.

But Meng Ying seemed to be isolated in another world, watching their joy from a distance.
