PFC Chapter 398 Thoughts
Chapter 398 Thoughts
"Come in quickly! Zhilan and Sujin are about to cry." Li Taohua said, she was so angry that she wanted to hit her forehead again.
Qin Huiyin dodged, raised a sweet and flattering smile, and ran inside.
Li Taohua laughed and shook her head, but when she saw the figure appearing, her brows furrowed.
"Didn't I tell you not to appear in front of her?"
The nun looked at Qin Huiyin's back and said, "She disappeared early in the morning. Her two maids were looking for her all over the mountain. I heard the noise and came to see her. I was relieved to see that she had returned safely."
"She'll be fine." Li Taohua said calmly, "As long as no one knows her identity, she'll be fine."
"Who is the man who just brought her back?"
"Nothing to do with you."
"I think the man is good-looking and has a good temperament. His eyes are full of love when he looks at her. He is a good candidate."
"He's her brother. He should love her because it's the love between brother and sister." Li Taohua said impatiently.
"How can such a look be..."
"Are you done yet? I told you to disappear when you should. Don't show up again." Li Taohua interrupted her, "You are now an outsider. You will spend the rest of your life in the nunnery atoneing for your sins."
Qin Huiyin said a lot of nice things, and Zhilan and Sujin calmed down.
She was in the wrong in this matter. Even if she had left a note, it wouldn't have made them so worried. At that time, she thought she would rush back and just wanted to play secretly without anyone noticing. She never thought she would be caught.
In the following days, Qin Huiyin was very obedient. However, Song Ruize hadn't come to see her these days, and she felt like something was missing and was extremely bored.
It's even more boring than when I first came here some time ago.
Maybe it’s because there is no disappointment if there is no expectation!
She knew that it would be boring to stay in this temple for half a month, and she was prepared to be bored to the end. But suddenly someone showed up to take her to travel around, and she felt a little excited.
"Three more days..." Qin Huiyin combed her hair and said to Zhilan, "We have to start packing these days. Once the three days are up, we will go back immediately."
Zhilan was applying hair oil to her hair. "Don't worry, young lady! But you said the mushrooms in the mountains are delicious. Those little monks are picking mushrooms all over the mountains and bringing them back to you!"
"They are so cute!" Qin Huiyin said with a smile, "We can't let them work in vain."
The little monks Zhilan was talking about were the ones she had been playing with recently. The oldest was only ten years old, and the youngest was three. They were so cute. She had been bored these past few days, so she played a lot of interesting games with them.
Those children were young and playful, but they were usually bound by rules and regulations, and were as rigid as little old men. She asked them to come over and let them relax for a while.
"If we give silver, it will eventually be taken away by the big monks in the temple. Even if the young monks hide it and keep it, they will not have the chance to spend it. It is better to give something fun." Zhilan said.
"That's right. Tomorrow we'll take them up the mountain to pick wild fruits and make candied haws. They can't eat meat, and now they can't eat candy? At this age, they are just children, they should eat sweets."
Zhilan smiled and said yes. She looked at Qin Huiyin in the mirror and said, "Miss, your hair is so beautiful, like the finest silk. And your skin is so smooth and delicate, like cream. And your figure...Miss, with such a beautiful face, what kind of family will you have to marry into in the future? I think you are so smart and beautiful that you are qualified to be a princess."
Qin Huiyin played with her hair and said with a smile, "In the eyes of you little girls, are princesses and imperial concubines the most noble in the world? But I don't want to get involved in this muddy water."
"What kind of man does the young lady want to marry?"
"Why do I have to get married?" Qin Huiyin said, "If one day I really have someone I like, I will marry naturally when I want to. If there is no such person who makes me fall in love, then I will never marry. If after I get married, he treats me badly and I feel that living with him is a torture to each other, then I will withdraw and leave. I control my life in my own hands, so I will not let men decide my fate."
"You're tired today, go back and rest early!" Qin Huiyin said, "I'll rest after I finish reading this storybook."
"Yes, the slaves retire."
After Zhilan left, Qin Huiyin closed the door.
She picked up the half-finished book and leaned there lazily, looking lazy and boneless.
A figure jumped in from the window.
He was as light as a swallow and moved very quickly, without disturbing Qin Huiyin who was engrossed in reading.
He stood behind Qin Huiyin, followed her line of sight, and saw...
A picture.
Picture of a man and a woman kissing.
His eyes widened.
Bang! My feet stumbled and hit the shelf behind me.
Qin Huiyin was startled, looked up and saw Song Ruize.
"Brother, why are you here?"
She thought of something and quickly closed the book.
She was so engrossed in watching that she didn't pay attention to what was happening in the room. She didn't know when Song Ruize came in or whether he saw anything.
She also didn't expect that there would be such a "banned" book among so many storybooks.
Never underestimate the "conservatism" of the ancients. Once they let themselves go, what they wrote would definitely be "astonishing".
Didn’t you see it?
She was now like a child who had been caught watching a movie by her parents.
Song Ruize's cheeks were almost burning like a fire cloud.
He pretended to be calm and said, "I've been a little busy these days and haven't come to see you. If you...if you feel bored, I'll take you out to play."
"It's too late today. I've even untied my hair and won't go out." Qin Huiyin put the storybook under the mat. "Brother, you must be tired from running around. Why don't you go back in the morning? We can sleep on the floor like last time."
"Okay." Song Ruize laid the mat himself.
He lay down on it.
Qin Huiyin: "..."
Why is he in such a hurry? She won't compete with him for it.
Qin Huiyin was too embarrassed to look at anything else and went to bed quickly.
It's so embarrassing.
Get some sleep and you won’t remember it tomorrow.
When I woke up the next day, Song Ruize had indeed left without anyone noticing, just like last time.
However, he took the book with him.
Qin Huiyin: "..."
As expected, he saw it and was very concerned about it, so he took the disgusting book away and destroyed it.
For the first time, Qin Huiyin begged Song Ruize to be busy these days and not have time to come to her. She felt that such a socially devastating situation would still take a few days to ease.
It is not known whether her prayers worked or Song Ruize was really too busy, but until Qin Huiyin and others came down the mountain and returned to the capital, Song Ruize did not appear again.
