Qin Yining did not know what the person beside her was thinking. She focused on praying and stood up.
At the same time, a sweet female voice came from outside the hall.
"... Yes, I still remember your heroic appearance. Returning here again, I am filled with emotions."
Qin Yining was stunned. Before she could react, Pang Xiao grabbed her hand and quickly went around the shrine, hiding behind the statue of Lady Mother of the Chariot.
Qin Yining was at a loss for words. She was about to cry out in surprise, but her mouth was forcefully covered. Her waist was also wrapped around by an iron arm. Her entire body was leaning into an unfamiliar embrace.
Her cheeks suddenly burned. Qin Yining saw that Tang Meng was also brought over by the attendant in the same way. She was somewhat anxious.
At this moment, the door of the hall creaked open and closed. The female voice laughed and said, "Your Majesty, look, this place is still the same as before."
What answered her was an old male voice, "Yes, I was fortunate enough to be here in the past. When I saw the statue, I felt that the statue was dignified and dignified, but there was also a hint of charm. I immediately felt happy and could not help but take a few more glances. Who knew that when I left the mountain gate of Lady Immortal Temple and went down the mountain, I would meet you who was going up the mountain."
There was the sound of clothes rustling, and the woman gasping in surprise.
"Yurou, I thought at that time that the heavens already knew what I was thinking and specially sent a goddess to my side to relieve my pain of yearning."
"I am just a willow. How can I be called a goddess? It is just that Your Majesty is the Emperor, so it is true that the heavens are looking after you. This time, Lady Immortal Liu gave you the elixir of immortality. After you used it, you became even more energetic." The woman's voice was very charming.
Then, there was the sound of a man's happy laughter and the sound of water.
Qin Yining blushed as she listened. She peeked through a small gap at the foot of the statue and saw a young woman being held in the arms of a tall man in his sixties with gray hair on his temples. Their lips and teeth were intertwined, and they were kissing passionately.
Qin Yining had never seen such a scene before. His face flushed red. He quickly turned around and bumped into the man behind him.
The unfamiliar man's scent lingered around her nose. His breath was mixed with the smell of incense and candles. There was also an unfamiliar scent unique to men and a faint smell of grass. It was not unpleasant, but it forcefully and overbearingly forced its way into her breath.
When she looked up, she realized that the young master was not looking at her. Instead, his handsome face was tense as he observed the scene outside through the gaps in the altar.
He was so serious and nervous that Qin Yining calmed down a lot.
Hearing the conversation between the two people outside, she already knew who they were.
It was hard to imagine that the Emperor and the Demon Empress had such a past. The Emperor was so muddle-headed that he could even think of doing such things in front of the statue of Progenitor Doumu …
However, this was far from enough.
What the Emperor and the Empress did next even broke Qin Yining's three views. They actually took off half of their clothes on the praying mat and had sex with her. The woman's moans and the man's deep breathing, as well as the sound of their collisions, entered Qin Yining's ears. Qin Yining wished she could find a hole to hide in. She could only cover her ears and close her eyes to avoid this embarrassing scene. In her heart, she was cursing the Demon Empress and the fatuous emperor thousands of times.
Pang Xiao lowered his head and looked at the woman who wanted to bury her face in his arms. A gentle smile appeared on his lips. However, when his gaze met the two people outside, a thought flashed through his mind.
If he wanted to kill the muddle-headed Emperor of the Dayan now, it would be as easy as flipping his hand.
However, after quickly calculating the gains and losses, he extinguished the thought of killing him now. The muddle-headed Emperor would bring more benefits to the Da Zhou if he was alive.
The lovemaking soon stopped. The woman praised the Emperor's bravery tenderly. The two of them were intimate for a while before tidying up their clothes and leaving hand in hand.
It was not until the door of the hall was closed and the outside was quiet that Qin Yining regained her senses and hurriedly withdrew from the young man's embrace.
Tang Meng was also blushing. She ran to Qin Yining's side. Her big eyes were misty and she looked like she was about to cry.
Qin Yining held Tang Meng's hand. He did not dare to look at the strange young master who was standing there for a long time. He turned and fled.
Tang Meng pulled Qin Yining to a secluded corner and hid behind a big tree. Their faces were red and they did not know what to say for a moment.
After a while, Tang Meng gritted her teeth and said, "The muddle-headed Demon Empress is so absurd. I think that muddle-headed Emperor has the face of a fallen country! The Demon Empress is so tenacious that she caused my entire family to pay with their lives. Why is the Heavens so blind to send down a bolt of lightning to kill her! "
As Tang Meng spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.
Qin Yining frantically wiped away her tears. At this time, she felt that any words of comfort were useless. No matter how many words she said, how could they compare to the pain that the destruction of her family brought to Tang Meng? She looked carefree, but in her heart, she was hiding her pain.
Qin Yining comforted her for a long time. When he saw that Tang Meng gradually stopped crying, he said, "I know you are sad, but in this life, everyone has to go through all kinds of ups and downs. It is useless to look back on the past and regret. Life has to go on, and people have to look forward. In the future, you will be by my side. We will be a family. I will not leave you alone. In the end, we can be companions. "
Tang Meng was so touched by Qin Yining's sincere words that she wanted to cry again. She sniffled and forced a smile. "Miss, I know you have the best heart."
Qin Yining smiled and tidied up Tang Meng's hair. He said, "But I am afraid you will have to change your name in the future. Ruilan, too. You can discuss it with Ruilan in the next two days. I am not very educated, and I can't think of a good name. You can think of a name that you like."
"I will discuss it with Sister Ruilan later. As for me, it is even easier." Tang Meng rolled her big eyes and smiled. "I will be called Bing Tang."
"Bing Tang?" Qin Yining laughed. "Good, this name suits you. You are a sweet girl. If you are called Bing Tang in the future, your life will be sweet."
"Yes, it will be sweet. And Bing Tang looks good and tastes good. Isn't it great?"
They looked at each other and smiled. They both felt relieved. Qin Yining said, "Let's go down the mountain so that Old Madame won't be worried. When we see Old Madame later, don't say anything. Just pretend that nothing happened today."
"Okay, I know what to do."
The two of them tidied each other up for a while, and only then did they descend the mountain.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, they saw Mama Bao looking up. When she saw Qin Yining and Tang Meng coming back happily hand in hand, Mama Bao felt relieved. She said, "Miss, you are back. Get in the carriage and warm up."
"Sorry to trouble you, Mama Bao. Grandmother must be worried. I followed Miss Tang around the monastery and was delayed for a while. "
As they spoke, they came to the front of the carriage. Qin Yining and Tang Meng stepped onto the red wooden stool and got into the carriage. Seeing Duchess Ding sitting in the middle with a gentle smile, Qin Yining picked a light topic and talked about some of the scenery he saw in the temple.
When the topic came to an end, Duchess Ding asked gently, "Did you meet anyone in the temple?"
Qin Yining's heart jumped, but his expression didn't change. He smiled and said, "No, I just saw a young madame in the distance. I didn't meet her face to face."
Hearing this, Duchess Ding nodded. She thought for a bit and glanced at Tang Meng. In the end, she didn't say anything.
Qin Yining understood that grandmother might have met the Empress and recognized her identity. She wanted to take advantage of this moment to tell her that the Empress had come. However, she was afraid that this topic would hurt Tang Meng's heart, so she swallowed the matter of the Empress.
However, grandmother wouldn't know what an awkward matter had just happened in the hall. She had also heard the Emperor and Empress's conversation, mentioning that the Emperor was eating the elixir that Fairy Liu had made.
Thinking about it, the past Emperors had all sought the method of immortality, and the Qinglong Emperor was no exception. However, she was surprised that a philistine like Fairy Liu would be proficient in the art of making elixirs.
This person was truly unfathomable!
At least, Qin Yining couldn't tell whether Fairy Liu was truly philistine or pretending. He couldn't tell how wide her connections were and whether the skills she was proficient in were real or just a bluff.
The carriage first sent Tang Meng back to the Cloud Stepping Inn. Duchess Ding then ordered people to send Qin Yining back to his manor.
After Qin Yining said goodbye to Duchess Ding, he didn't immediately return home. Instead, he went to the Zhong manor to find Master Zhong and ordered him to send one thousand six hundred liang of silver to Fairy Liu Temple.
When Master Zhong heard such a large sum, he said in surprise, "That old Daoist priestess is so greedy!"
He felt a bit guilty. After all, it was he who had begged and allowed Qin Yining to take care of Tang Meng's matter. He hadn't thought that going to King Ning's manor to ask for Tang Meng would be risky and that he would have to pay such a large sum of silver to return to the secular world.
Qin Yining said with a smile, "Money is earned to be used. As long as I make sure that every sum of money is spent on the right path, it's fine. Miss Tang is a living person, and she may not be unworthy of the money. Besides, in Duchess Ding's words, it's also for my own good."
"Miss Tang is magnanimous and kind. In the future, she will definitely be rewarded." Master Zhong listened to the orders and went to make arrangements. He then personally escorted Qin Yining back to his manor.
By the time he arrived in front of the Family Qin House, the sky was already dark. It was almost time for the key to be dropped.
Qin Yining took the oil wall carriage to the second gate and then went directly to Cixiao Garden.
Mammy Qin was whispering to Ji Xiang in the corridor. Seeing Qin Yining come back, both of them smiled and came forward to salute.
"Fourth Miss Tang, you're back. Madam Dowager was just talking about you. She was worried that it would be unsafe on the road and was afraid that something would delay you."
"It's my fault for making Madam Dowager worry about me. Has Madam Dowager rested? "
"Not yet. Miss, please come in."
Mammy Qin personally led Qin Yining into the room. She helped her take off her cloak and then went inside to reply.
After getting Madam Dowager's permission, Qin Yining smiled and went into the inner room. She saluted and said, "Madam Dowager, granddaughter is back. It was not easy to walk on the road, so I was delayed for a while. It's my fault for making Madam Dowager worry about me."
Madam Dowager was wearing a dark green jacket. She sat cross-legged on the bed and smoked a pipe. After taking two puffs of the pipe, she said, "What can happen when you go out with your grandmother? It's my fault for worrying about you. Did you go smoothly today? "
"Everything went smoothly." Qin Yining deliberately ignored the jealousy in Madam Dowager's words. She asked with concern, "Madam Dowager, did you eat dinner? Did it taste good?"
Madam Dowager knocked on the pipe and sighed, "I didn't like it. How could I eat?"
