Only Nalan Baiqiong and Master Jianeng were left in the hall. The two of them knelt on a futon each. Master Jianeng, who was over seventy years old, watched with a kind expression as Nalan Baiqiong steadily copied a line of Buddhist scriptures.
"It seems that you have adapted well."
Nalan Baiqiong's hand trembled and tore the paper.""Grandmaster?"
Master Jianeng smiled and stroked his beard."When the eldest princess was born, this old man observed the sky at night. An Emperor Star rose up but quickly extinguished. Looking at it again, this Emperor Star was far away, as if it was not in Dayuan or even beyond the heavens, but it kept flickering. A few months ago, the Emperor Star suddenly shone brightly and arrived above Dayuan. I heard that the Emperor in the palace seemed to have changed into a different person and became more and more wise.”
Nalan Baiqiong was silent for a moment before he crawled in front of Master Jianeng and asked expectantly,""Since Grandmaster already knows, is there any way to help me return? I am indeed not from this world."
Master Jianeng shook his head and said,""Everything in the world has karma. I think you know why you came to Dayuan. It's the karma you planted.”
Didn't she just write a novel and fantasize about herself and her idol crying when her idol got married? Could this be the reason for transmigration? The heavens were too unreasonable!
Seeing Nalan Baiqiong's angry expression, Master Jianeng sighed and said,"If Young Lady is unwilling to accept this karma, I'm afraid that you will be trapped here and never be able to find your way back.”
Nalan Baiqiong was startled when he heard this. He smiled bitterly and said,"Thank you for your advice, Master."
What fruit was it? Fulfill her wish to be with Lou Chen? However, she wasn't wearing it on Nalan Baiyao. Wasn't this stealing her love?
Master Jianeng suddenly stood up and went out. When he returned, he was accompanied by a boy who was about eight or nine years old. He was dressed in the clothes of a novice monk and looked at Nalan Baiqiong curiously. He was extremely cute.
"This child was sent outside the temple when he was still in swaddling clothes. This old man has calculated his eight characters and found them to be very compatible with Your Majesty. Your Majesty, if you bring him along, you can cultivate your own fruit as soon as possible.”Master Jianeng explained, then patted the little boy's head and said kindly," Qiqing, greet His Majesty quickly.”
The little boy put his hands together and said Amitabha. He bowed and said, Qiqing greets Your Majesty."
Perhaps it was really a combination of eight characters. Nalan Baiqiong liked him as if he was her own son. She threw the helplessness of not being able to go back to the back of her mind and revealed an old mother's smile."Good girl, just call me Sister Qiong.”
Qiqing glanced at Master Jianeng and received his encouraging smile. She sweetly called Nalan Baiqiong Sister Qiong.
"Hey." Nalan Baiqiong pulled him into her arms and touched the scar on his head, feeling very curious.
"Qiqing, this time, follow His Majesty back to the palace and pray for His Majesty in the palace, understand?”Master Jianeng warned.
Although Qiqing was a little reluctant to part with Master Jianeng, her young face was filled with seriousness and determination.""Qiqing understands. I won't let Master down.”
"You can go back first. Master still has something to say to His Majesty.”
Qiqing bowed and left.
Master Jianeng looked at Nalan Baiqiong's departing figure with a complicated expression. He looked at Nalan Baiqiong as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he did not say anything.
"Grandmaster, is there anything else on your mind?”Nalan Baiqiong asked.
Master Jianeng shook his head and said," The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed. Your Majesty, please do not run away when you encounter something. You must know that since you are already in it, it will not be easy for you to escape."”
These words were a little serious. Nalan Baiqiong didn't know how to reply. Fortunately, the master didn't intend to let her continue. After saying that, he closed his eyes and began to spin the Buddha beads and chant.
Nalan Baiqiong also returned to his futon and copied the Buddhist scriptures stroke by stroke.
The plan was to stay here for a night. Fortunately, they were in a Buddhist place, so Nalan Baiqiong and Tang Jinchuan each had a room. Otherwise, Nalan Baiqiong really did not know how to survive the night.
Because they had to stay here for a night every time they performed Buddha rituals, Tang Xue would also take time off to stay here every year. Therefore, the National Temple specially prepared a few rooms for the royal family. Although the conditions were much better than the temple's basic rooms where a dozen people could stay in a room, it was just a quiet room with a single bed.
The weather was already very hot. Although some ice cubes were transported here, the facilities here were simple and crude. The ice cubes could not be used for too long. Nalan Baiqiong woke up in the heat at night.
After lying on the bed for a while, Nalan Baiqiong could not fall asleep. He got up quietly and tried not to disturb Shen Yanxi, who was resting on a chair at the side.
However, the sound of the door opening still woke her up. Shen Yanxi immediately opened her eyes and stared at Nalan Baiqiong in a defensive position. Only then did she realize that it was her."Your Majesty?"
Nalan Baiqiong made a shushing gesture in embarrassment and said in a low voice,""I can't sleep. It's so hot in this room. Let's go out for a walk.”
"I will accompany Your Majesty." Shen Yanxi immediately followed.
In the blink of an eye, the beginning of autumn had passed. The night wind was slightly chilly. Nalan Baiqiong originally only wanted to stand outside the house. With Shen Yanxi accompanying him, he became much bolder and dared to go elsewhere.
However, other than the place where the Buddha statue was lit, the entire temple was pitch-black. They did not dare to disturb the peace of the Buddhist sect. The guards only surrounded the temple and guarded it. The temple was quiet.
Suddenly, the sound of water could be heard not far away.
Nalan Baiqiong glanced at Shen Yanxi. Her expression could not be seen clearly in the night, but a corner of her sleeve was pulled, as if telling her not to go over.
She couldn't afford to scare Nalan Baiqiong.
There were light footsteps coming from the other end. The person seemed to be running carefully, but there was also some uncontrollable anxiety.
Nalan Baiqiong and Shen Yanxi were standing in an open space. There was no place to hide. The moment they were distracted, that person ran over. When he saw them, he let out a soft " Ah ".
The black shadow was small and short, like a child.
"Sister Qiong?" The child spoke. It was Qiqing.
Nalan Baiqiong was also shocked, and only relaxed after hearing his voice."It's Qiqing. It's so late. What are you doing here?”
When he got closer, he saw that Qiqing was holding something in her arms. He hesitated for a moment and said," Sister Qiong, don't tell Master."
"I won't tell." Nalan Baiqiong smiled and rubbed his head.
Only then did Qiqing raise the thing in her arms in front of Nalan Baiqiong. It was a small watermelon."I'm going to live in the palace with Sister Qiong. Siming heard that he couldn't bear to part with me, so he was angry with me and secretly wiped his tears. He had always wanted to eat watermelon, but the temple only gave him a small piece every month. I secretly stole one from the kitchen and put it in the well water to freeze it, wanting to give him a surprise.”#
