"I want to ask for a hexagram for the prince, and ask for your mercy, master."
In the main hall of Xiangguo Temple, the emperor wore a dragon robe and plain clothes and knelt on a futon. Opposite the futon sat a white-bearded eminent monk cross-legged, holding a handle of floating dust.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Your Highness, the prince, has his own destiny..."
Xie Yuan, who was at the door, saw that everything was done, closed the door quietly, and retreated outside the Buddhist hall.
As soon as he left the hall, before he could turn around, he bumped into his back and two small hands wrapped around his waist from behind.
Xie Yu'an was stunned, turned his head and saw a pair of familiar embroidered shoes, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.
"How did you come?"
Xie Yuan held her hand, his voice full of laughter.
"I want to see you, I miss you very much." The person behind him replied.
Xie Yuan couldn't see her expression, but he could feel her pressing against his back, even rubbing against it.
"The clothes are dirty."
Xie Yu'an opened her hand and pulled her to him. Looking at her eyes full of thoughts, he couldn't help but feel nervous.
"What happened?"
Xie Yuan asked while holding her hand and walking out.
The two came to a deserted area in the backyard. Qiao Yin looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in front of her that had almost fallen out of its leaves, wondering whether to laugh or cry: "Did you bring me here on purpose?"
Xie Yuan chuckled softly: "Did you see it out? I did it on purpose, Qiao Yin, how do you feel now? Are you heartbroken? Are you guilty?"
Qiao Yin felt a sore nose: "I feel so guilty that I want to cry. I'm sorry."
Xie Yuan lowered his head and kissed the corners of her eyes, "Don't cry."
In fact, he was the one who broke the appointment first! The one I want to forgive is him!
He failed to make the three-day appointment.
He arrived five days late and therefore missed her Western New Year.
Qiao Yin looked up at him, the tenderness in his eyes was so real.
"The wound medicine sold to me by Jishi Medical Center last summer was the secret imperial medicine made by Uncle Xie. It was specially prepared by you for me, right?"
Xie Yuan's lips curved into a smile, and he pinched Qiao Yin's nose.
"It turns out that my little Ayin came here early in the morning to correct the answers. He is so eager to learn."
Xie Yuan's joy was written all over his face.
Qiao Yin grabbed his hand, "Answer me quickly, right?"
Xie Yuan nodded, "Yes."
He is very happy, getting closer and closer to the answer, and he is very satisfied with the current process.
It's better to let her take the initiative and get closer little by little than to rush in and make her feel burdened.
Qiao Yin observed Xie Yuan's expression, and his joy gave her an unprecedented encouragement.
"But it was even earlier when we first met, wasn't it?"
Xie Yu'an nodded and said, "Do you want me to give you some tips?"
This time, Qiao Yin shook his head: "No. I want to find the answer myself, just like a treasure hunt. Every discovery will be a surprise."
Xie Yuan's eyes were filled with doting: "Okay, then I'll just wait for you to find out."
Qiao Yin stood up on tiptoes and kissed the corner of his mouth: "I won't let you wait too long."
She already had her next clue, and more than one.
The first time she ate with him at Zhaixinglou, he knew her preferences and ordered all the dishes she liked.
There are also earthen pot soups and river lanterns at the night market. These are not coincidences.
Xie Yuan's traces were all around her, but she didn't notice them.
"It doesn't matter how long it takes. I'm very good at waiting. Good things always come at the end." Xie Yu'an said.
Qiao Yin looked at him and couldn't help but said: "But I can't wait any longer, I..."
Qiao Yin stopped, hid his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Master Xie, I will come to you for the answer soon."
Xie Yu'an nodded, pulled her close, lowered his head and rubbed her small nose with the tip of his nose, "It's all up to you."
The atmosphere suddenly became charming, the dispersed osmanthus seemed to bloom again, and the air was filled with a hint of sweetness.
Xie Yuan's thin lips moved downward, and Qiao Yin closed her eyes obediently.
"General——"
Suddenly Wangshan's call came over.
Qiao Yin pushed Xie Yuan away like a frightened rabbit.
Xie Yuan pursed his thin lips tightly and swept towards the source of the sound lightly.
Wangshan was sweating. He didn't want to disturb his master's good things, but the matter was really urgent.
"General, there is news from the palace that His Royal Highness has woken up, and His Majesty has taken people back to the palace first."
Qiao Yin straightened his expression and said to Xie Yu'an: "Go and do your work first."
Xie Yuan did not leave immediately. He first told Wangshan:
"You take people down the mountain first, I'll be there soon."
Then he took Qiao Yin to the main hall of Xiangguo Temple.
"It's better to choose a day than to hit it. Let me introduce you to Master Liowu." Xie Yu'an pointed at the white-bearded monk in the hall and introduced him.
Qiao Yin took a look and said in surprise: "Is this Master Wu?"
Master Liao Wu stood up and nodded to Qiao Yin: "Female donor, you are fine."
Qiao Yin was stunned.
The year before last, she and Lu Jinzhi came to Xiangguo Temple. They didn't see Master Wu, but they saw a sweeping monk in Xiangguo Temple.
The sweeping monk said that Master Zuowu was not here, but he could also do divination.
Lu Jinzhi dismissed it, threw up his sleeves and left on the spot.
Therefore, her original news was correct. Master Liaowu was really in Xiangguo Temple, but Lu Jinzhi didn't have this fate!
Qiao Yin was still in shock. Master Liaowu turned to look at Xie Yu'an: "What is the test? A combination of eight characters? Are you getting married?"
Before Qiao Yin could recover from the previous shock, he was shocked again by Master Wu's words.
Master Liowu, who is rumored to have an immortal demeanor, looks kind and approachable, and speaks very kindly, just like a kind elder.
Qiao Yin had a flash of inspiration and looked at Master Wu carefully.
Why does she feel that this master looks a bit like Uncle Xie?
Could it be that Master Liowu also came from the Xie family in Huaizhou?
"There is no need to combine the horoscopes. The master has already calculated it and it will not be wrong. I just happened to be here today, so I brought it to see the master." Xie Yu'an replied respectfully.
Master Liao Wu nodded, raised his fly whisk, and lightly tapped Qiao Yin's forehead.
"My little friend, take care of yourself now that you have come. Life, death, misfortunes, and blessings have all been predestined."
It was like hearing the sound of Buddha in her ears, Qiao Yin suddenly felt clear and clear, and some things she was stubborn about suddenly seemed not so important.
She should trust her own judgment!
"Thank you, Master, for your guidance."
Qiao Yin thanked him, and he and Xie Yuan retreated, and they went down the mountain together.
Qiao Yin couldn't help but asked: "Master, are you also thanking the family?"
Xie Yu'an said: "Yes, Master Liowu is Uncle Xie's brother. He has been obsessed with Buddhism since he was a child. Later, he traveled to the West Sea and understood the way of heaven."
Qiao Yin thought of something and suddenly stopped and looked at him: "So, it was you who invited Master Wu to Xiangguo Temple the year before last?"
Qiao Yin looked into his eyes: "You can't lie."
Xie Yuan nodded: "It's me."
Qiao Yin suddenly felt very uncomfortable, as if there was a huge stone blocking his chest.
"Why? You know that I am running for Lu Jinzhi?"
Xie Yu'an felt even more guilty and said: "Originally I wanted to make you feel more relaxed, but I didn't expect that you would get hurt instead. It's like God told me to wait, but I was greedy and wanted to see you quickly, but I suffered a backlash. This backlash happened to you and almost killed you."
"I should just wait in peace."
Xie Yu'an felt scared just thinking about it, so he never dared to interfere in her affairs easily. He only chose to watch her silently, waiting for her to give up on Lu Jinzhi and wait for the opportunity that belonged to him.
God had already revealed that she would come to him sooner or later.
Qiao Yin shook his head, his vision blurred: "I would rather you didn't wait."
She has experienced the torture of waiting for someone to come back, and she knows how hard it is, let alone waiting for someone you love.
"How could you fall in love with me? I'm not worthy of you at all..."
Qiao Yin's eyes were wet with tears, and an overwhelming sense of indebtedness surrounded her.
Xie Yu'an pulled her into his arms and stopped her words that meant to belittle him.
"The affairs in the palace will be over tonight. I will leave a message for you when I get back. Come to my house tomorrow. I can't wait. I must let you discover the secret quickly, the secret that only belongs to the two of us. "
