Slowly Deep Love

Li Chu lowered his eyebrows, thought quickly, and said respectfully: "Madam Ming, there is nothing wrong. It's just that we will go to Qingyuan Mountain for three days tomorrow. Once we leave the Taiwei Mansion, it will be a different world. Madam Ming is a person of temperament. The green mountains and clear waters can make you feel happy and pleasing to the eyes. I hope that Madam Ming will not forget the original intention and mission of this trip, and reconcile with the eldest master and return safely."

Get back together?

Yue Weiwei repeated it in her mind, feeling confused.

Where does this come from?

Minglu and Li Hengan were married entirely at the behest of their parents and the matchmaker.

How to "get back together" when there was no "old goodness"?

Yue Weiwei stared at Li Chu intently, until her eyes hurt.

She blinked, looked away, and said, "Lord Li Chu's words are quite meaningful."

"Madam Ming, I am sorry for being rude. I was just in a good mood and thought about tomorrow's trip, so I spoke too much. I hope you can forgive me."

Yue Weiwei recalled those words carefully and felt that there was something else behind them.

She said, "I just moved into the Taiwei Mansion and met Master Li Chu in Yuelong Courtyard. That time was not easy. I heard from Nanny Li that you took good care of me. I have always been grateful. Last time Qian Yue was injured, it was you who sent people to help."

Li Chu did not dare to take credit for it, and immediately said, "Madam Ming, please excuse me. This is my duty. In fact, the eldest master has told me that Madam Ming is new to the mansion and is unfamiliar with everything. If you need anything, I will do my best to help you."

Is this to help Li Hengan?

Regardless of whether Li Chu’s words are true or not, the words “get back to the old ways and return safely” have always been lingering in my mind.

It's like an exhortation, seemingly implicit but actually stated clearly.

Yue Weiwei's heart began to beat fast.

Is this journey dangerous?

Li Chu coughed lightly, bringing her thoughts back to her senses.

"Lord Lichu, please explain clearly?"

"Madam Ming, I didn't mean to say that. You are an open and sincere person, so you don't have to worry about it."

Li Chu is Li Hengan's confidant, no matter how many questions he asked, there was nothing else.

Yue Weiwei felt uncomfortable, but smiled and said, "Master Li Chu, I have delayed your time again. You will set off tomorrow, and the eldest master will definitely tell you a lot of things. Go and get busy."

Li Chu looked up at her with a complicated look in his eyes, nodded and left.

Yue Weiwei looked back at his back and thought of those nonsensical words again.

A guard, and Li Hengan’s personal guard!

Be sincere to her!

Unbelievable!

There was chaos in Qingxiang Pavilion, and she wanted to escape, so she came here to find some peace and quiet.

Who would have expected this to end!

Yue Weiwei felt even more upset and could not help but pace back and forth with her hands on her hips, thinking wildly.

This Li Chu really spoiled the fun. He had been looking forward to this short trip, but just a few words from him ruined his interest.

It's just mountain climbing!

In Li Chu's eyes, they are jackals, tigers and leopards!

There was a hidden meaning in her words, as if she would lose control if she left the Taiwei Mansion.

Return to "another world" and "people of character".

What do you want to say?

The more Yue Weiwei thought about it, the more her breathing became irregular. She ended up coughing several times before she could catch her breath.

When she looked up, she saw the big willow tree, and her aunt's face suddenly appeared in front of her.

Yue Weiwei's thoughts began to calm down.

She took a few steps toward the willow tree.

The soft willow branches hung down, just surrounding the table and benches under the tree.

In a trance, a figure appeared before her eyes.

The first time she came to Chengtai Theater, Li Hengtu was sitting here.

Yue shook his head slightly and disappeared.

"There's something wrong with me!" she muttered and walked to the side.

Before I knew it, I had reached the depths of the garden, which was truly a different world.

Yue Weiwei was not interested in the flowers and plants, but was attracted by a sculpture.

She walked over quickly and saw a lifelike turtle.

It is not very big in body, it holds its head high and looks into the distance with bright eyes, it has strong and sturdy limbs, and its shell is thick with clear patterns.

Yue Weiwei reached out his hand, lightly touched the glans, and walked around it.

Tortoises have a very high status in Chinese culture and are highly respected for their longevity. Together with the phoenix, dragon and unicorn, they are known as the Four Spirits, all of which symbolize beauty.

But there is only one longevity turtle, what about the other three spirits?

Yue Weiwei searched around but to no avail.

But then I saw someone passing by among the flowers. It was Li Jingwu.

Yue Weiwei walked up to him, greeted him, and said, "Second Young Master, what a coincidence, we meet here."

"Madam Ming, how are you?" Li Jingwu greeted respectfully.

"The garden is the most beautiful in spring. Such a scene of blooming flowers is rare." Yue Weiwei said.

Li Jingwu smiled and said, "Tomorrow we will travel far to Qingyuan Temple. The scenery along the way is very beautiful and full of greenery. Madam Ming will be able to feast your eyes on this trip."

Yue smiled slightly and said, "Second Master has also been to Qingyuan Temple, right?"

"Mrs. Ming, you forgot. Before your wedding, I accompanied my brother there once to worship Buddha and meditate."

There are such rules!

Minglu also enjoyed great success when she entered the Taiwei Mansion.

Yue smiled lightly and said, "Oh! I forgot. This time I have the honor to go to Qingyuan Temple. I must feel the tranquility of Buddhism."

"When you go to Qingyuan Temple, if you have the chance, you must go to the caves on the top of the mountain to see the several magnificent Buddha statues."

Li Hengtu had also mentioned the cave to her, and when it was mentioned again today, Yue Weiwei became very interested.

She nodded and said, "The caves in Qingyuan Mountain are well-known. Someone told me about it a few days ago and told me not to miss this great opportunity and to go and see it."

Li Jingwu was very curious. He said "Oh" and then asked, "Who is so enthusiastic?"

Yue Weiwei said, "A few days ago, I was taking care of Hengying in the general's mansion, and Master Li told me about Qingyuan Mountain."

"During the time that Third Sister lived in the General's Mansion, Madam Ming had to work hard. God has blessed us. This time, we were safe and sound, and our trip to Qingyuan Mountain was not delayed. We are all very happy."

Yue Weiwei turned around and looked at the turtle sculpture, saying, "Yes, with the protection of this divine turtle, the Taiwei Mansion will surely be safe and smooth."

Li Jingwu also looked in that direction and said, "This tortoise is very old. Since the Taiwei Mansion was built, my father has welcomed a bronze tortoise and a bronze unicorn, which were placed on both sides of the garden to protect the peace and tranquility of the mansion."

And the bronze Qilin?

According to Li Jingwu, the Kirin sculpture should be among the flowers on the opposite side.

Yue Weiwei looked across and saw that the flowers were so lush and green that the Qilin was hidden among them and could not be seen.

The Grand Marshal only placed the sacred tortoise and the Qilin in his mansion, so I guess the dragon and the phoenix can only be found in the imperial palace!

Li Jingwu took a few steps forward and said, "These two bronze turtles and unicorns are very precious and have been consecrated in Qingyuan Temple."

This shows the status of Qingyuan Temple in the imperial capital.

Yue Weiwei understood and said, "It must have been a great honor to have the divine tortoise and the unicorn consecrated and brought into the palace. Do you still remember?"

Li Jingwu laughed and said, "Madam Ming, you don't know that my father followed the late emperor in his battles when he was young. He was alone at that time and had to make achievements before he could start a family. I am a young man and have no chance to do that!"

The Grand Marshal is actually a hero!

"Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, I can imagine the scene at that time. The late emperor visited the Taiwei Mansion in person!"

Yue Weiwei said: "My father was brave and fearless, and helped the late emperor to conquer the country. This divine turtle and Qilin are of great significance. I want to go and see the Qilin."

"Please!" Li Jingwu stretched out his hand to lead the way for her.
