The White-haired Queen

Wen Lanyue thought for a moment and said, "I don't have any plans."

So Hong He took over the conversation and said, "Then I'll ask Bi Lian to come over and comb your hair and put on a wig for you."

Wen Lanyue acquiesced.

The original owner must have been prepared for these things before, and what I need to do now is to prevent everyone from finding out that I am not the original owner but a time traveler, otherwise I will be treated as a monster.

If you feel that you have changed, the injury and amnesia are the best excuses; if you feel that your way of doing things and your thinking are different, then the books in the "Tianxia Datong" library are the best reason. For the rest, just believe Bilian and Honghe.

When they arrived at the palace gate, Wen Lanyue found two carriages. The front one was the one they were riding in, and the back one was a carriage carrying things. The goods were piled as high as a hill. At a glance, there were cloths, herbs, food, etc. The two girls were very well prepared.

Wen Lanyue got into the carriage with the help of Bilian. The interior of the carriage was not as luxurious as one might imagine, but rather simple. In the middle was a coffee table with some cakes, nuts and tea. Incense was also lit, which had a light and refreshing fragrance that had the effect of calming the mind and concentrating the spirit.

There are long benches on both sides of the coffee table and an armchair behind it. It feels soft to sit on, as comfortable as the soft sleepers we have today.

Then Bilian and Honghe also got into the carriage, and sat on the left and right. Through previous contacts, Wen Lanyue felt that Honghe was more outgoing and decisive... while Bilian was quieter, more disciplined, and more measured... It felt that one of them was responsible for the outside world, and the other was responsible for the inside world.

As soon as everyone sat down, Hong He began to speak: "Miss, Madam doesn't like to be disturbed, so today there are only six of us traveling. The one driving the carriage in front is Nanchen, and the ones behind are Xichen and Beichen. Their main task is to protect your safety."

After leaving the palace wall that was over ten feet high, the feeling of oppression was swept away. Wen Lanyue felt that the air outside the palace wall was fresh and sweet. She picked up a nut, threw it into her mouth and started chewing.

Seeing this, Bilian immediately poured a cup of tea and said anxiously, "Miss, the road is bumpy. If you throw food like this into your mouth, you will choke easily. Go slower."

Hong He listened and said with a smile: "Every time we go out, my lady and I feel relaxed and free, and Sister Bilian is like an old nanny or a housekeeper, hahahaha..."

When Wen Lanyue heard this, it seemed that the original owner was just like herself. As long as she was free from all constraints, she would be free and easy. In that case, our personalities were similar. This was the best way, as it would be less likely for mistakes to occur.

Wen Lanyue smiled and asked, "Where do my mother and her family live? How long does it take to get there by horse-drawn carriage?"

Hong He also picked up a nut and threw it into her mouth, saying, "The old lady lives in a royal Taoist temple in Xiangshan. We will be there in about an hour and a half."

Hong He turned her head to look at Wen Lanyue and said, "Miss, this feels so good, as if I have returned to my childhood, when we lived and studied with our master. As long as we completed our study tasks, we could play."

Hong He glanced at Wen Lanyue, trying to tell from her expression whether she remembered something, and continued, "Do you remember? We climbed trees together to get bird eggs, and went into the water together to catch fish and shrimp. Every time we were discovered, the master scolded me alone, and I was very angry at the time."

Hong He kept looking at Wen Lanyue and continued, "Later, you told me, 'Once a teacher, always a father.' Master is our family. In the eyes of Master, we are all treated equally. It's just that she teaches people differently and in accordance with their aptitude. Her teaching methods and expressions to us are different. That's why I'm not angry."

Seeing that Wen Lanyue's expression was still calm, Hong He continued, "I first heard the phrase 'love's inequality' from you, and I still remember it."

Wen Lanyue was completely confused. Seeing this, Bilian immediately said, "Miss, you are so busy, how can you remember all these little things?"

Hong He stuck out her tongue and said embarrassedly, "I'm just helping the young lady recall. Maybe she'll remember it soon."

Bilian thought it made sense and kept silent. Honghe continued, "Miss, do you remember? One time, I dropped your hairpiece into the water and it was washed away. Although no one noticed your white hair, I was punished to copy books for half a month."

After hearing this, Bilian smiled and said, "It's because you are too playful. You know that the young lady's wigs are all custom-made. You can't afford the compensation if you sell them." After saying that, they both looked at the young lady.

Wen Lanyue was at a loss. She and the original owner were completely different people. How could she have any memory of these things? This unconsciously reminded her of the line by the female poet Li Qingzhao, "In silence I find my close friends, Mr. Wuyou and Mr. Zixu." These so-called things she did with Bilian and Honghe were like two close friends accompanying her, they were "Mr. Wuyou" and "Mr. Zixu" respectively.

Thinking of this, Wen Lanyue smiled unconsciously and took over the conversation and said, "Bilian and I helped you copy the books together."

When Hong He heard this, she immediately stood up and hit her head against the roof of the carriage. She then covered her head with her hands and said in surprise, "Miss, you remembered? That's great."

Wen Lanyue shook her head, spread her hands and said, "I don't remember, but I know Bilian and I will definitely help you copy the book."

Hong He rubbed her head and cried out, "Oh, it hurts so much." Then she sat down and said happily, "I knew that no matter whether the lady remembered or not, she would still treat us well as always."

……

Nanchen, Xichen, and Beichen listened to their conversation, their emotions fluctuating. As secret guards, their indentures were death indentures, and they had to keep their masters' secrets in their hearts.

The Queen Mother actually lost her memory. It's a big deal but no one else knows about it...

With Nanchen's "whoa...", the carriage stopped. Honghe lifted the curtain and turned back to say to Wen Lanyue, "Miss, we're here."

As soon as Wen Lanyue got off the car, she smelled a faint scent of sandalwood and incense and candles lingering in the air. The two scents intertwined and spread around the entire Taoist temple, giving people a feeling of tranquility, piety and sacredness.

Looking up, the Taoist temple is hidden under several vigorous pine trees, appearing exceptionally quiet, solemn and dignified.

Climb up the steps, enter the temple, and go around to the southwest corner, where there is a quiet courtyard with some vegetables, fruits and melons planted on the left and a group of chickens and ducks on the right. It has an obvious pastoral atmosphere, as if it is the residence of a hermit.

Wen Lanyue couldn't help but feel envious. Living in the 21st century, she had longed for such a life.

At this time, a woman in simple clothes walked over quickly, took Wen Lanyue's hand tightly, rubbed it, and said nothing.

Wen Lanyue saw that she was somewhat similar to the original owner, with a high nose bridge and a small mouth, so she shouted happily: "Mom, Mom."

The woman paused. The child used to call her "Aniang", but now he calls her "Niang"?

Seeing the woman pause, Wen Lanyue immediately said coquettishly, "Mom, I want to live here with you. I don't want to go back to the palace. Is that okay?" Her eyes revealed sincerity.

The woman touched Wen Lanyue's head and said softly, "Silly child, you are talking nonsense again. Shangxie Kingdom can't do without you." Then she let go and motioned for Wen Lanyue to say hello to her wet nurse and master.

The nurse touched Wen Lanyue's hand and said, "Good boy, you have lost weight. You have worked hard! The nurse has made a lot of delicious food. I will let Honghe and Bilian take it back later."

When Wen Lanyue heard this, her eyes immediately became moist. The ancient people's mothers-in-law were just like the modern people's mothers-in-law. They not only ate the food but also took it with them.

I don't know how my family members in the 21st century are doing. In this situation, I really miss them. I wonder if they know what happened to my car in my hometown. Oh! I hope they are all well...

The master came over, patted Wen Lanyue on the shoulder, said nothing, and turned back into the house. Wen Lanyue knew that the master must have something to say to her alone.
