Return of the Swallow

"What the palace does is just a matter of course, so what's so touching?" The queen rubbed her sore waist. If it weren't for the crowds here, she even wanted to pinch the painful image. My own feet, "It’s just that the road to Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple is too difficult. Fortunately, Uncle Zhongyi told the palace in advance, but the palace refused to listen to his advice. The guard broke his leg and did not say anything. This will stop here, I can’t go up and down."

The Queen's tone was rather helpless and regretful.

Grandma Sun couldn’t help but persuaded the queen’s arm to persuade: “The empress does not want to do this, you have done your best to pray for blessings. It’s because the place where the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple was built is too dangerous. Can you go to such a dangerous place? Since you have tried your best, don't force it. Otherwise, how can the slave and maid's heart be at ease if the maid really makes a fuss?"

The queen has always been sympathetic to her servants, and the grandmother knew that when she said what she said, with the queen's usual temperament, she would definitely consider the feelings of her servants.

She is a queen. If something happens under these people's eyelids, let alone a major incident, it is a sprained foot. They will also be punished when they return.

But today, Grandma Sun miscalculated the Queen's thoughts.

"This palace has already come here, so you can walk so far. As long as you walk through the remaining section of the road, you can reach the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple. This palace cannot give up here."

The queen raised her head and looked at the road at the end of the gentle slope that was not a road.

The following mountain roads are almost all of the kind of steep rock walls. In some places, there are raised stones to stand on, and in some places, there are no way to build wooden boards.It's just that after a long time, the wooden boards have many signs of decay, as if stepping on them will crack with a crack, and people will fall off.

The road is steep, which makes people feel that even if they climb up, they can't get down.

"Manny, this is too dangerous." Maternal grandmother said bitterly, "The servant wants to serve the lady, but this way, don’t say you lady, even the servant will not be able to climb up. There is no one around us, if it is the little maid. Without being sent down the mountain, I can still lift my lady up for a while. But the servants can't believe in the physical strength of the little servants and behind them, if they knock and touch a little bit, is that a joke?"

The queen looked down and listened to the words of Grandma Sun. Although she knew that she was quite reasonable, she was also extremely unconvinced in her heart.

People are already here, but they are going to give up halfway here. Looking at Qin Yining, her hand was held by Pang Xiao, and Pang Xiao seemed to intend to take Qin Yining up.

Qin Yining can walk up, can't she?

"No, this palace prays for blessings and rains to stop. The floods in the south are still serious. Not all towns are as lucky as those near Huichuan County. Since this palace knows that praying is useful, where can I pass by Wanfo Temple? The reason for shrinking when the journey is hard?"

"But madam, there is no suitable person by our side to lift you up. You see, let's go down the mountain now, go down for some rest, wait for the slave and maidservant to arrange the people, and then send you up the mountain in a few days, what do you think? ?"

The queen knew that what Grandma Sun said was the safest way.

But at this moment, looking at Qin Yining, who was held by Pang Xiao, and Qin Yining's clean dress and embarrassment on his body, the empress's sourness and unwillingness became more and more uncontrollable.

She is a queen, but in front of a courtier's wife, she can't stand up to it. Qin can climb such a steep mountain because her man cares about her and keeps guarding her.But even if she is the most noble woman in the world, she can only envy others in this matter.

How can she be willing?

Looking up again at the steep cliff-like mountain road, the queen shook her head and said, "This palace must go up the mountain today." Looking back at Pang Xiao, "I believe that there is an escort by the prince, and this palace should be fine."

"Manny! You..."

"Stop talking about it."

The queen's voice firmly interrupted Madam Sun's continued persuasion, and then smiled again, and said, "With Prince Zhongshun, what are you afraid of?"

Grandma Sun looked at the mountain road, and then at the prince and concubine standing by hand in hand without saying a word, she couldn't help but get up.

It is common for Prince Zhongshun to take the princess up the mountain, pulling and pulling, and even cuddling.They are husband and wife.But what if the queen wants Prince Zhongshun to take care of it?

The road is very steep. With the empress's usually pampered body, she might be tired and frightened to retreat before long.Is the queen still planning to make Pang Xiao treat her in the same way that she originally planned to help Qin Yining?

The queen seemed to be able to see through what the grandmother was thinking, she couldn't help but chuckle.

"It's okay, you don't have to worry. To put it in a bad way, in the eyes of this palace, Prince Zhongshun is like a younger brother. How old was he when he bowed to the saint? The relationship between this palace and him, at least not far. It’s also a relationship between my uncle and my sister-in-law. It’s just climbing, so why can’t I go up?"

Seeing that the queen's heart had been decided, Grandma Sun's lips twitched helplessly, not knowing what she could say to make the queen give up today's trip.

The queen had already walked up to Pang Xiao at this time, watching Pang Xiao's visit as if no one was holding Qin Yining's finger.

The soreness and jealousy seemed to fill her mouth again, and the queen smiled as usual, "Can Prince Zhongshun help this palace?"

Pang Xiao carefully observed his words and behavior, and saw that the queen's expression was not fake, and he had put down the tumultuous scenes of these days for the time being.

Pang Xiao did not immediately agree, nor did he ask for how many maids around him, what to eat and use every day."

Because the mountain road is steep, ordinary palace men and maids cannot send the queen to the top of the mountain.

If one is inattentive, it may hurt the lives of innocent people.

Seeing Pang Xiao hesitate, the queen felt utterly mixed.Pang Xiao could take Qin Yining with his back, and he was willing to carry it, but she was different. Although she was a queen, in Pang Xiao's eyes, Qin Yining was the most important.

Such a strong drop made the queen bit her lower lip involuntarily.

Seeing the empress's expression like this, Pang Xiao looked down and thought, and said helplessly after a moment: "Niang, the Weichen still has a guard next to her, why don't we let the guard escort her?"

The queen's face changed after hearing this, and a moment later, she said with a calm face: "Do you want those guards to come to this palace? Who are they and what status? Are they loyal to Da Zhou? If it is for loyalty, it's fine. What? Do you feel relieved to give this palace to others? And the most important point is that they don't deserve to touch this palace at all. Is this palace going to watch you go up the mountain, and you can only wait at the bottom of the mountain?"
