Even though Lin Qingyun was full of doubts, he didn't bother to ask for a while, changed his clothes as quickly as possible, and then drove to the palace with Daiyu.

It wasn't until I got in the car that I learned from Lin Ruhai that the reason for the incident was still related to the Lantern Festival on the Lantern Festival. Everyone knew the true purpose of the Lantern Festival that day.For example, the Lantern Festival is an audition, so today is a re-election, and the queen will meet such girls one by one in person.As for why Lin Qingyun was summoned, it was just incidental. The girls from other families who were unable to attend the Lantern Festival due to illness or various other problems also entered the palace with their own sisters. This was a gift from the palace.

It turned out that I was an accompanying guest.

Lin Qingyun felt relieved a little, and when she saw Daiyu getting nervous, she deliberately teased her: "My younger sister is just 11 years old this year, what are you afraid of, if you are afraid, she should be the third girl of the Zhuang family."

Daiyu was relieved when she heard this, and gave her a reproachful look, and she couldn't hold back and smiled: "My sister is really a joker! But my sister said something wrong, so sister Shiyu is not worried, her marriage happened a year ago It has already been agreed, it is said that the third son of Mr. Yang, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, is three years older than Sister Shiyu, and is currently studying in the Imperial College, and the two families have agreed to get married after the end of the township examination next year."

Lin Qingyun calculated in his heart that Zhuang Shiyu was fifteen, and that Young Master Yang was eighteen.Looking at the family background, the foundation of the Zhuang family is still there, but it looks worse from the outside. Woolen cloth.

Thinking about it, Lin Qingjun asked: "Then the Yang family was engaged to the Zhuang family early on, and the two families have been in contact for a long time? After all, the third girl is the girl of the second room, and her father's official position is not as good as that of the Yang family. Then why did the Yang family take a fancy to it?" The third girl? What's more, the dealer was still in southern Yunnan before the twelfth lunar month last year."

"I also asked my father." Daiyu overheard the news from Zhuang Shixiang. After returning, she asked Lin Ruhai because of doubts before she understood. Seeing Lin Qingyun asking at this time, she naturally understood her doubts. "The two of them had a marriage contract when they were young. Back then, the Zhuang family was still in the capital, and the second master of the Zhuang family and Yang Langzhong were still on duty in the Imperial Academy. It happened to coincide with the birth of sister Shiyu, and the two jokingly brought up this marriage after drinking. At that time, the third son Yang was only three years old, he was a descendant, and he was very much loved by Mr. Yang, but at that time this marriage was favored by the Yang family. After many years, the Zhuang family did not expect that the Yang family would suddenly send someone to discuss the two marriages. What's more, Mr. Yang San is young and motivated, but the Zhuang family is not as good as before. Even at that time, he didn't get the will to go to Beijing, so it can be seen that the Yang family has sincerity and family style. Sister Shiyu will not be wronged when she goes to the Yang family. Later, the Zhuang family entered the capital. Liao Jing, this marriage is even better."

"Next time I see the third girl, I must congratulate you." The ancients generally did not separate families. Since Mr. Yang is the third, Zhuang Shiyu will definitely not care about the family when he marries. Yes, she will be able to do it well, and she can take it lightly if it is not given to her, so there is no need to worry about her going to the Yang family's life.

What's more, the Yang family is so committed, the rules must be strict, and the third son of Yang is a scholar, maybe they can really get along as a husband and wife.

After entering the palace, Lin Ruhai explained some rules, and the two nuns accompanied them to Fengyi Palace.At the gate of Fengyi Palace, I saw a court lady escorting two young ladies from the official family out. They nodded to each other, and Qingyun and Qingyun were ushered in.

The huge palace is silent, only the sound of their own footsteps can be heard, which makes people nervous invisibly.

"Reporting to Empress Empress, the two girls from Lin Shangshu's family have arrived."

"The courtiers kowtow to the empress, and the empress will be safe and blessed." Regarding the etiquette in the palace, Lin Qingyun and Daiyu paid respects, and did not dare to get up after the salute, only waiting for the empress above to speak.

"Excuse me." The queen woke up early in the morning to see many ladies from the official family, and she was already a little tired. Now that the Lord finally appeared, she couldn't help but look up.

Qingyun and Daiyu got up, and sat down on the two carved round stools that had been prepared on one side after the sound of the Empress giving the seat.The two sat upright and elegant, even though they were not sitting opposite the queen, they still lowered their eyes slightly to show respect.Qingyun is two years older than Daiyu, half a head taller, with a slender stature and a calm demeanor, she seems to be fourteen or fifteen years old. Although her appearance is not as charming as Daiyu's, she is not vulgar, like a cold moon in a bamboo forest , Lengmei in the snow, that temperament is admirable.

The queen admired in her heart: this Lin Qingyun is really extraordinary, no wonder Lin Ruhai can make Lin Ruhai think that the righteous daughter loves her more, but it's a pity that she was born.

The empress already had some calculations in her heart, the conversation with the two was nothing special, she finished the question as usual as before, gave the reward, and ordered the palace servants to send the two out.

The emperor came over that night, and the emperor and empress sent the palace servants to talk in private.

The emperor asked about Lin Qingyun.

The queen smiled and praised: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, my concubine would not believe it. Then Lin Qingyun really came from the countryside? She has only been in the Lin family for a few years, at most two years, and she is more magnanimous than many daughters of big families. Although It's too eye-catching to say too much, but the concubine also asked her a few questions, and it was difficult to answer them decently, which makes people like it."

"The empress really likes her so much?" The emperor seldom heard the empress praise her so much, so he guessed immediately.

The queen didn't hide it either, and sighed with a lonely expression: "Your Majesty knows about my concubine's concerns, I just worry about You'an. She pointed it out to Youan. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

The emperor frowned slightly, as if thinking about something, and asked after a while: "What title does the empress want to give?"

The queen had made up her mind, but seeing his abnormal behavior just now, the couple's decades of getting along made the queen change her mind temporarily: "If she wasn't born too low, with that kind of character, it would be fine to be a side concubine. A concubine I haven't asked You'an yet, I want to ask His Majesty for an idea first."

"Ask Youan what you mean first. Anyway, after so many years, you have to choose someone who suits his heart." The emperor didn't give a clear meaning, and said: "Lin Qingyun is Lin Ruhai's righteous daughter on the surface, but she is no different from her adopted daughter. , I have to ask Lin Ruhai about this matter."

"Your Majesty's words are reasonable." Although she had a smile on her face, the queen was really surprised. She never thought that Lin Qingyun would make the emperor attach so much importance to her.Is it because of Lin Ruhai's relationship, or does Lin Qingyun really have some secret?

In fact, the emperor did worry about Lin Ruhai. Lin Ruhai was a hero and a capable minister, and the emperor wanted to use him highly.Another one, Lin Qingyun's family was ruined because of the Zhen family, and the Zhen family had long been on the emperor's waiting list, and the tragedy of the Lin family would be a good breakthrough.Of course, the emperor also considered Tu Yan's temperament, if he didn't get Tu Yan's consent first, and gave him a marriage, what might happen.Tu Yan was the emperor's only son, and because of the poisoning incident, he loved Tu Yan a lot, even if there was a younger prince in the palace later, he still couldn't compare with him.

Thinking of Tu Yan's body, the emperor suddenly said, "Do you think the matter of You'an has something to do with that Lin Qingyun?"

"This, the concubine doesn't know." The queen thought about it carefully, and said frankly: "The concubine really can't see that the girl from the Lin family is so capable. Besides, she is a 13-year-old girl. She really saved the pure prince. How can you hold your breath? Even if you don't know You'an's identity, it's impossible for you to be so silent, the concubine really doesn't look like it."

The emperor nodded noncommittally, reasoning that there was a book to be approved, got up and went to the imperial study.

The emperor paced back and forth in the study, even though he had the same thoughts as the empress, he was shocked by something he discovered by accident.I still remember that Lin Ruhai's first wife passed away five years ago, and he sent his only daughter to the Rongguo Mansion to be raised by the old lady Jia, which obviously meant to be a orphan.At that time, the task he assigned to Lin Ruhai was indeed dangerous, and he had learned that Lin Ruhai's body was severely worn out more than once, so he had to seek medical treatment several times. , with a ruddy complexion and a healthy spirit, much stronger than ordinary people.It is said that Lin Ruhai's daughter-in-law has congenital deficiencies since she was born. She has been ill and never recovered. But not long after she returned to Lin's family, her persistent illness for many years gradually recovered, and she was like a healthy little girl who had never been sick.

The emperor's eyes sharpened sharply, and he tapped the table with his index finger, calling Dai Quan to order: "Go to Fengyi Palace and tell the queen that Master Liaochen's only apprentice will arrive in the capital in a few days, and he will place an order at the Guanyin Temple outside the city. Master Chen is very good at deducing innate numbers, and her apprentice must have learned the truth, so I just asked her to calculate the marriage for Prince Chun."

The emperor just wanted to see if Lin Qingyun was born with blessings or if there was a secret, maybe this female apprentice of the long-renowned Master Liaochen could clarify his doubts.

Dai Quan relayed the emperor's words to the queen verbatim.

The queen felt suspicious when she heard this, but Master Liaochen's name really moved her heart. It was not for You'an's marriage, but...the longevity!The queen did not want to believe that her son really only had a short lifespan of 25 years.Although it is not Master Liaochen himself, but the master passed away two years ago, there is only one female disciple who has always worshiped the Buddha behind closed doors, and she finally came to the capital, and she is really unwilling to see her face.

He ordered people to keep an eye on the movement of Guanyin Temple, and sure enough, he got accurate news five days later.

Although it is possible to send a decree to order the other party to enter the palace, there are many considerations. The empress invited the decree to go out of the palace to pilgrimage without fanfare. Sitting inside is Tu Yan.

Although the queen said that she was going to offer incense and pray for blessings, Tu Yan knew it well. After all, he also knew the news that Master Chen's female apprentice had arrived at Guanyin Temple.Tu Yan pretended not to notice, and his heart was calm, even if there was, it was just a trace of sadness.

Tu Yan has been traveling since he left the palace and built the mansion. Even though the schedule was extremely slow due to his health, he has traveled to many places in four or five years.Back then when he traveled around Gusu, he went to Panxiang Temple, not only met that female apprentice, but also met Master Chen himself, and even begged her to count his lifespan for him.At that time, Master Liaochen did not speak for a long time after he calculated it, until he begged hard, and then he sighed: he was plagued by illness, had no wife and children, and could not survive the years of a weak crown.

This year happened to be a weak year for him, and he almost died on the night of the Lantern Festival, who knows if he will be lucky next time.

Although the queen did not make a big show, she sent someone to Guanyin Temple to inform the host earlier, and cleaned out the resting place.The queen didn't want to publicize it, so she didn't disturb other pilgrims. Fortunately, today is not the [-]th day of the Lunar New Year, and there are not many pilgrims in the temple.

"The poor nun is polite, please come to the benefactor." The abbot of Guanyin Temple, Master Xuan Jing, greeted him at the gate of the temple.

The queen walked in while holding Wen Xin's hand and asked: "Is the person I want to meet there?"

"Miaoyu is waiting in the clean room, but..." Master Xuanjing looked embarrassed: "This Miaoyu said that he only studied Buddhism with Master Chen, and he didn't know how to deduce innate divine numbers, so I'm afraid he will disappoint the benefactor. "

"I have admired Master Chen for a long time, but it is a pity that the master has passed away and I have no chance to see her. She is the only disciple of the master. Even if she can hear about the events of the master's life, this trip is considered complete." The queen did not respond to Xuan Jing's words. And shaken.

Tu Yan followed behind, not responding to Xuan Jing's words, but just thinking of Miao Yu's nature...

"Mother, I won't go in as an outsider." There are no outsiders here, and Tu Yan is not afraid of being heard by others. Besides, he really doesn't want to see Miaoyu's cold and arrogant face, as if all the people in the world are not around her. In his eyes, that kind of temperament is nothing more than a peaceful person, but anyone with a little temper will be annoyed.

This time Miaoyu is alone in Beijing, I am afraid that she will not be able to stay in Panxiang Temple anymore, after all, "living in a clean world is the same as dislike".

"There are so many particulars about where you become a monk. Besides, you don't have to go in, just wait for me outside the door." However, how could the queen let him go, because she came here for him.

Tu Yan had no choice but to follow.

The host had already tidied up a quiet small courtyard, and the guards dressed as guards guarded it tightly inside and out, and the palace people rearranged the house.At this time, the door of a room in the middle was open, and Miao Yu, who was dressed in paddy field clothes and looked cold and arrogant, stood in front of the door, holding a whisk in her hand and performing a ceremony of becoming a monk.

The queen has seen countless people, so she can see Miaoyu's temperament at a glance, but she still praises her, she looks good, even if she is too cold and arrogant, it is also in line with the temperament of a monk, so she is not displeased.

Miaoyu also caught a glimpse of Tu Yan, and was slightly taken aback, only then did she understand the identity of the visitor.

Earlier, the host only talked about the nobles in the palace, even if he guessed, he didn't dare to make a statement, but he knew it when he saw Tu Yan.She had met Tu Yan three years ago, and her master had counted on her. After Tu Yan left, the master told her about Tu Yan's identity.I really didn't expect to see him again. If we followed Master's dying words, we would never see each other again.

As soon as the queen was seated, she didn't bother to play around, and said bluntly: "Master Liaochen is best at deducing innate divine numbers. Master Miaoyu is the only disciple of the master. Even if he hasn't learned the truth, he still knows a thing or two. I'm counting on marriage."

Miaoyu's eyes moved, and she opened her mouth and said, "Don't you know, empress, my master did a deduction for Prince Chun three years ago."

The queen was startled, it was nothing more than her identity being guessed, but what she didn't expect was the content of her words.The queen hurriedly turned her head and looked outside the door to ask for confirmation: "You'an?!"
