Chapter 136 Go to the roof to watch the stars
In the evening, Luoting Mountain.
Luoting Mountain is located in the northern suburbs of Beijing.
Although it is not the most famous mountain near the capital, it is high but not steep, and is very easy to walk on.
In addition, there are many temples of all sizes on the mountain, including the very famous Famen Temple, which attracts many people.
But by the evening, many people had already gone down the mountain.
In the pavilion located at the highest peak of Luoting Mountain, only Yu Youning and his group were there.
On top of this mountain is a platform, which is not only surrounded by a fence at the edge, but also has a viewing pavilion.
At this time, the sun was setting, and the orange sunlight shone from the west, making everything golden.
Yu Youning sat on the stone bench, shaking his short legs constantly.
"Have you finished watching? Have you finished watching?" Yu Youning urged, "When are we going to Famen Temple for vegetarian food? Will there be any if we go too late? I don't want to go hungry after climbing the mountain for such a long time!"
Chu Huaixu smiled and looked at Yu Youning. "Don't worry, Youning. I've already sent someone to notify Famen Temple in advance. They've left enough vegetarian food for us. You won't go hungry."
When he heard that he wouldn't go hungry, Yu Youning became interested in enjoying the scenery.
At this time, Huo Qingchen, Nian Yi and Wei Zhao were all standing by the fence.
Yu Youning also walked over and looked down carefully.
Nian Yi slowly turned his head to look at Yu Youning, "What are you looking at, Youning?"
"Then what are you looking at?"
"As I watch the sun shine, I wonder if one day in the future, the Dharma will also shine like this light, illuminating the earth and bathing everyone."
"Can't understand."
Nian Yi smiled slightly and asked again, "What is You Ning looking at?"
"I'm seeing a lot of wild animals down there. If I catch some and roast them, it'll be a perfect snack for dinner."
Huo Qingchen's expression was originally quite serious and heavy, but after hearing Yu Youning's words, his eyebrows twitched violently.
Even though he loves to play and make noise, he knows that he cannot eat meat in the temple. Youning is really bold!
But even such a Youning was able to take a comprehensive view of the situation and talk freely while watching the competition in the morning.
But he himself, the second young master of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, could not see anything.
He used to be proud of his natural supernatural powers, and always felt that when he grew up, he would be invincible.
But after what happened in the morning, he finally realized that he had been deceiving himself all along.
If he continues to indulge himself like this, when he grows up, he will just be a reckless man and will never be able to become a great general.
Thinking about the promise he had made to Yu Youning before, it seemed even more ridiculous.
Huo Qingchen smiled self-deprecatingly and quickly made up his mind.
Yu Youning turned around and looked over, "Huo Qingchen, what are you laughing at? You look so weird!"
"Nothing." Huo Qingchen shook his head. "I'm a little hungry. Let's go to Famen Temple to eat!"
Yu Youning was overjoyed and immediately turned around and ran towards Famen Temple.
Huo Qingchen and Yu Youning ran in front, followed closely by Wen Xiangli and Wei Zhao.
Only Chu Huaixu and Nian Yi were walking together at the back.
"Since Xiliang lost this time, will you be implicated when you return?" Chu Huaixu asked with a faint smile.
Nian Yi slowly shook his head, "This matter has nothing to do with me. This is not why I came here."
"The Buddhist said that he was looking for something he had lost. Have you found it now?" Chu Huaixu asked again.
"No. Everything in the world has its own laws. There's no need to force them. If I can't find it now, it means the time hasn't come yet. After I return, I'll go into seclusion to practice Zen."
The competition five years from now will be held in Xiliang. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still participates, we will meet then."
Chu Huaixu glanced at Nian Yi and said nothing more.
Although the Buddhist disciple said this, he knew that five years later, the person the Buddhist disciple wanted to see would not be him.
After taking a deep look at the Buddhist disciple, Chu Huaixu said nothing and quickened his pace as he walked into Famen Temple.
It was already late and there were no pilgrims in Famen Temple.
The pilgrims staying in the temple tonight were all in their rooms and had not come out.
Chu Huaixu had already reserved the largest courtyard that could accommodate all of them at the same time.
A young novice monk came forward to lead the way and took them to the yard.
While they were still washing their hands, people came in one after another, bringing vegetarian food, which filled up a large round table.
There are many more on the table next to it.
Chu Huaixu looked at Yu Youning, "Youning, look, there are so many, just eat them without worry."
Yu Youning was indeed relieved and started eating after sitting down.
As expected of a famous vegetarian meal in Beijing, the taste is indeed very good.
Not only is there no meat, there is not even any animal oil, but the taste is so good that people want to eat it again.
Not only Yu Youning ate to his heart's content, but Chu Huaixu and the others also ate a lot.
After I stood up from the table, I realized that my stomach was a little bloated.
Yu Youning looked at everyone and said, "You guys all ate too much, didn't you? We're too full to sleep anyway, so why don't we go stargazing? We're at the top of a mountain, so we're sure to see more stars."
Wen Xiangli was a little curious, "Where can we go?"
"Of course, I'll go to the roof!"
After a cup of tea, they all arrived at the roof.
Wen Xiangli was a thorough scholar who only knew how to read and write. He didn't know any martial arts at all, and this was his first time climbing onto a high roof.
At this time, he was sitting on the roof, holding on to the roof tightly with both hands, looking extremely nervous, fearing that the evening wind on the top of the mountain would be too strong and blow him down again.
Apart from Wen Xiangli, the others either practiced martial arts or were very brave. They not only looked relaxed but also smiled happily.
Yu Youning looked up at the stars in the sky, smiling, "See, I was right! Watching the stars on the top of a mountain is different from watching them in the city. You can see more!"
Chu Huaixu nodded in agreement, "Youning is right!"
Wei Zhao also looked up at the stars in the sky, but soon turned to look at Yu Youning.
When he returned to Nanzhao, he would climb high to watch the stars at night.
Even though they are far away, they should be looking at the same starry sky, right?
That night, they stayed on the roof until late at night before returning to their room to rest.
When Yu Youning woke up, it was already mid-morning.
She stretched lazily and walked out of the house, but found the yard quiet. Only Chu Huaixu and Wen Xiangli were sitting in the pavilion playing chess.
Yu Youning trotted over, "Why are there only the two of you? Where are the others? Aren't they still awake? They can sleep even longer than me?"
Wen Xiangli hesitated for a moment, then slowly spoke.
"Youning, they've all left."
"Gone?"
Yu Youning was surprised. "They went down the mountain first? Why didn't they go down with us?"
"They didn't just come down the mountain..."
Wen Xiangli was confused and didn't know what to say.
Chu Huaixu put down the chess piece in his hand and looked straight at Yu Youning.
"Youning, Wei Zhao has returned to Nanzhao with the delegation."
"The Buddhist disciple also returned to Xiliang with the Xiliang delegation."
"Huo Qingchen went to the Northland with his brother."
"They said they were worried you wouldn't be able to deliver it, so they simply stopped you from doing so."
"They also told me to tell you, don't be angry, even though we're separated now, we'll see each other again soon..."
Chu Huaixu couldn't continue talking.
Yu Youning's eyes were red and filled with tears.
Before she could blink, tears began to fall one by one.
"Youning!"
Chu Huaixu quickly stood up.
"Don't cry! I'm not leaving, am I? I'll always be with you!"
"From now on, we will go to the Imperial College together, and I will be your deskmate."
"We should study together. You can teach me calligraphy, martial arts, and medicine, okay?"
Yu Youning wiped the tears from his face hastily. "Aren't you the prince? You're so busy, how can you have time to learn these things?"
"I'm just the crown prince! My father will take care of the important matters in the court. I'm free now and can play with you and study with you every day!"
Yu Youning raised his right hand and extended his pinky finger, "Then let's make a pinky promise. You can't lie to me!"
"Okay! Let's make a pinky promise. I won't lie!"
Wen Xiangli looked at the two people's little fingers hooked together, his eyes darkened for a moment, but soon brightened again.
As long as Youning is happy!
...
When the three of them returned to the capital, it was not yet noon.
Chu Huaixu sent Yu Youning to the gate of Wen Mansion, watched Yu Youning enter the gate of Wen Mansion, and then ordered the coachman to go to Wen Mansion.
As soon as Yu Youning entered the door, Wen Xiaotian ran over, meowing, with his tail raised high.
After arriving next to Yu Youning, Wen Xiaotian kept rubbing his body against Yu Youning's legs.
Yu Youning squatted down and stroked it, and his clear laughter continued to ring out.
As soon as Yu Tingwan heard that Yu Youning had returned, he hurried over.
On the way here, I was worried about seeing a crying daughter.
But before he got close, he heard Yu Youning's clear laughter and was surprised.
Not only did Yu Youning not cry, she was actually laughing so happily?
But it’s better to laugh than to cry!
Yu Tingwan felt relieved and walked towards Yu Youning step by step.
"Youning, you're back!"
Before he could finish his words, Yu Youning came running towards him carrying Wen Xiaotian.
"Wuuuuu! Mother! Wei Zhao and Huo Qingchen are both bad guys. They left without even telling me! And Monk Nian Yi didn't tell me either. Wuuuuuu!"
Yu Youning cried loudly and wiped her face with Wen Xiaotian in her arms.
Yu Tingwan, "......"
It’s too early to be relieved!
It’s not that I don’t cry, it’s just that I haven’t seen her yet, so I didn’t cry!
Yu Tingwan picked up Yu Youning and coaxed her carefully for a long time before she calmed down.
Of course, the most important thing is that she promised to take Yu Youning out for dinner!
The mother and daughter went out together and headed towards Yuelailou, another famous restaurant in Beijing.
It was already dinner time, and Yuelai Building was bustling with people coming and going.
As soon as I entered the lobby, I ran into a young man and woman.
The man staggered and hit the woman's shoulder with his arm as they were about to leave.
This person was none other than Lin Yu.
