Crazy Queen, Striving to Become the Most Beautiful Lady in the Harem

Chapter 206 Zhuxi Playing the Piano

Second day

Under the leadership of Eunuch Yang, the palace had prepared for the blessing ceremony early on.

Under the gazes of the crowd, Zhuxi, dressed in a monk's robe, walked forward and stood on the high platform.

He is like green pine, bamboo or cypress, with the appearance of an immortal, and like cold jade with slowly flowing brilliance.

All living things blossom in his clear and elegant eyes, with such unparalleled brilliance that no one dares to harbor any blasphemous thoughts.

Lin Junxue stood below and watched Zhuxi begin to preside over the blessing ceremony. Every move was pleasing to the eye.

Today she was wearing a white magnolia flower-feather silk gauze dress, with a misty silk blouse on the outside. The long skirt dragged on the ground, outlining her figure well.

She is graceful and elegant, with natural elegance, curved eyebrows like willows, and charming demeanor, as if a person has walked out of a painting.

Noon

After the blessing, Lin Junxue took Qiao Xin and others back to her own yard.

Zhuxi also had to lead other monks from the Huguo Temple to chant sutras until the evening.

In the room

Lin Junxue changed into a comfortable dress, washed her hands, and sat on the couch.

She asked Qiaoxin to bring the needle and thread. Yesterday, she had a sudden idea and planned to sew a sachet.

Danzhen served tea and said with emotion, "Your Majesty, this Buddha child is indeed as handsome and unparalleled as the legend says. Back then, the eldest princess was willing to die for the Buddha child and even threatened that she would die if she couldn't get the Buddha child. If it weren't for the emperor's intervention, I'm afraid that this Buddha child would really be defiled by the eldest princess."

Guyu served the cakes and fermented rice balls and put them aside

"My lady, I entered the palace late, and I have only heard a few gossips about this matter. It is taboo in the harem. The emperor ordered that the palace maids are not allowed to mention this matter again, and no one dares to discuss it."

Qiao Xin picked up the fan

"I don't know much. Back then, all the maids around the princess were executed by the emperor. No one in the harem dared to say anything, for fear of getting into trouble."

Lin Junxue put down the thread in her hand. In terms of time, she came through later.

However, this matter was recorded in great detail in the original owner's notes.

Back then, when the eldest princess was praying for the royal blessing, she fell in love with Zhuxi at first sight and pestered her relentlessly, even wanting the empress dowager to issue an order to allow her to go to the Huguo Temple and live there in the name of praying for the blessing.

However, the eldest princess was the empress dowager's favorite child. She was born when she and the late emperor were in love, so the empress dowager had always doted on her.

The Queen Mother knew very well that if this matter were to be spread, it would cause trouble and cause the royal family to be discussed.

But the empress dowager still had some ideas. However, at that time, Xie Yu had only been on the throne for two or three years and his foundation was not stable.

Buddha is the faith of Buddhists all over the world. Xie Yu was afraid of being criticized, so he stepped forward and reprimanded the eldest princess. He and the empress dowager were in an unpleasant stalemate for a while.

The princess then gave up the idea and dared not to plot against Zhuxi anymore.

However, three years ago, the eldest princess followed the Queen Mother to Yushan to worship Buddha, and wanted to use this as an excuse to summon Zhuxi to accompany her. Of course, the eldest princess did not get her wish in the end.

Lin Junxue curled her lips and said with certainty

"Even if Zhuxi dies, he will never be defiled by the princess."

Although she and Zhuxi had just met yesterday, they only exchanged a few words.

However, Zhuxi could tell that she was not from the current dynasty, but came from another world.

How could such a divine figure be gotten by someone like the eldest princess?

Qiao Xin said, "I think so too. Yesterday, when I first met the Buddhist disciple, I was not afraid of being laughed at by you, my lady, but I did not even dare to look him in the eye."

Guyu and Danzhen nodded immediately and said in unison, "Your Majesty, so are you."

Lin Junxue looked at the three people with interest

"Zhuxi, is it so scary?"

Why did she feel that Zhuxi's eyes were so beautiful, as if there were stars and the ocean in his eyes? When he lowered his eyes, it seemed as if all living beings in the world were in his eyes.

Dan Zhen nodded and said, "My queen, it's not scary, it's just that I can't describe the feeling. How should I put it? It's just that when I look into the eyes of the Buddha, I feel that the secrets in my heart are exposed. Even if I haven't done anything wrong, I will feel guilty and even want to kneel down and kowtow to the Buddha."

Qiao Xin spoke awkwardly

"My Lady, to be honest, I feel the same way as Dan Zhen."

Lin Junxue looked at Guyu, who nodded and said, "My lady, I will do the same."

Lin Junxue narrowed her eyes. Why didn’t she have the same feelings as Danzhen and the other two said?

Could it be that she was too superficial and could only see Zhuxi's stunning beauty, so she ignored everything else?

evening

Lin Junxue was having dinner in the yard when Xiao Gongzi walked in.

"My lady, the Buddha is waiting to see you outside."

Lin Junxue paused slightly. Zhuxi should have just finished praying at this time, so why did he come directly to her yard?

"Please come in, Buddha."

Xiao Gongzi said "Hmm"

Qiao Xin served the dishes and whispered, "My Lady, why is this Buddhist here at this hour?"

Lin Junxue shook her head and said calmly, "I don't know. We'll know when someone comes in."

Soon

Zhuxi walked in. Although it was just a few simple steps, he managed to exude an immortal demeanor.

When she arrived, Lin Junxue looked into Zhuxi's eyes and was silent for a few seconds.

Finally came to a conclusion, it’s not scary, it’s so beautiful.

Zhuxi watched Lin Junxue stunned for a few seconds, but did not rush to speak. He just stood there and looked back at her.

Lin Junxue retracted her gaze and said naturally, "Have you eaten? Zhuxi?"

Zhuxi shook his head, his voice dull

"Not yet"

Lin Junxue turned around and told Danzhen to bring another set of bowls and chopsticks, then looked at Zhuxi.

She said softly, "Please sit down. If you don't mind, Zhuxi, you can dine with me."

Zhuxi nodded, sat down opposite Lin Junxue, Qiaoxin arranged the chopsticks and bowls, and stepped aside.

Then, Zhuxi picked up the chopsticks, said nothing, sat properly, and ate quietly without saying a word.

Seeing this, Lin Junxue also picked up her chopsticks, and the two of them finished their dinner face to face.

After dinner, Zhuxi seemed to have no intention of leaving.

Lin Junxue invited him to have tea again, but Zhuxi refused.

He raised his eyes and looked at Lin Junxue, with a gleam in his eyes and a hint of hoarseness in his voice, which sounded more meaningful and alluring.

"Your Majesty, would you like to listen to me play the piano?"

Lin Junxue was silent for a few seconds. She wondered, could it be that she was discovered listening to Zhuxi playing the piano in the yard yesterday? She felt a little guilty for no reason. Why?

Then, Lin Junxue nodded and said, "Okay, Zhuxi's piano music, I am willing to listen to it."

Zhuxi went back to his own yard to get his zither and sat in the yard. The moonlight was hazy, the stars were twinkling, and the sound of cicadas could be heard in the distance.

Lin Junxue dismissed everyone and left only Danzhen to serve.

She lay leisurely in the rocking chair, Zhuxi sat upright under the tree, raised his hand, and the sound of the piano flowed slowly from his fingertips.

The sound of the piano is like the spring breeze that greens the fields, the bamboo shoots falling in the bamboo forest after rain, and a bright moon shining in the dark night.

Floating clouds and willow catkins have no roots; they are blown away by the wind in the vast sky and earth. The sound of the piano becomes more and more ethereal and vague.

Rocking Chair

Lin Junxue listened to the piano music beside her ears and a faint smile appeared on her face.

for a while

Zhuxi put away his hand and looked at Lin Junxue, who was lying on the rocking chair and had fallen asleep at some point. He stood up and walked over step by step.
