Chapter 147: Heading to Lingyin Temple
On September 9, the emperor summoned Xia Jingnian to the palace for deliberations.
Two hours later, Xia Jingnian returned to the Qi Palace, and suddenly asked Fang Ping: "Do you know where Princess Xiaoyang likes to go?" ”
Fang Ping scratched his head, he thought for a while, and said: "A few days ago, when I went to the princess's mansion to deliver pastries, I overheard Xi'er saying to Princess Xiaoyang that the Buddha of Lingyin Temple was the most effective, saying that it was taking advantage of the good weather to worship and maybe something auspicious would happen." ”
"So, let's go to Lingyin Temple today." Xia Jingnian clapped his head.
Fang Ping sighed, and he was happy in his heart, he could see Xi'er!
In the backyard of the princess's mansion, Ji Qiang was drinking tea, and before she could react, she saw a lilac figure appear in front of her.
Before she could speak, Xia Jinnian hugged Ji Qiang, and she snuggled into his wide arms, surprised and delighted.
Xia Jinnian has always been cold to outsiders, but in front of her, she seems to be a different person. Sometimes she is calm and composed, and sometimes she is as calm and composed, and sometimes she is as confused as she is now.
"King Qi actually came to my courtyard empty, it's really a rare guest." Although Ji Qiang was very happy in her heart, the words that came out of her mouth were this complaint.
Xia Jingnian smiled lightly, and pinched her face very familiarly: "Qiang'er, this king has prepared a carriage, a few days ago, I happened to hear someone mention Lingyin Temple, it just so happens that the weather is bright, it is suitable for going out, how about you go with me?" ”
Before Ji Qiang could agree, Xia Jinnian's cold and seductive voice sounded again.
"Go and bring your princess's cloak, prepare well, and then accompany your master to Lingyin Temple."
After the three maidservants were busy, they were preparing pastries, and they were changing into a plain pleated skirt for Ji Qiang, which was particularly dusty, and the purple embroidery on the sleeves and collar was extremely outstanding in this light color.
After some tossing, the group got into the carriage and headed towards the Lingyin Temple.
Lingyin Temple is located in the mountains to the west, and the road is a bit far, and it takes at least two hours for the carriage to arrive. Along the way, Ji Qiang ate a few pastries, and fell asleep unconsciously in the swaying of the carriage.
When she woke up again, she found that she was lying in Xia Jinnian's arms at some point.
Xia Jinnian was pulling the curtains with his slender hands, and a pair of sharp and clear eyes looked through the car window and looked at the hillside in the distance.
Ji Qiang followed his line of sight to see, at this time, the mountain was green, and patches of trees came into view, and it seemed that it was almost there.
Ji Qiang has never believed in ghosts and gods, nor in Buddha. But the closer she got to the Lingyin Temple, she felt at peace in her heart, and there was an indescribable feeling.
They walked side by side on the road, and the clear blue sky was pure. Ji Qiang felt deeply relaxed, the grievances and grievances of the previous life, hatred or something, were temporarily left behind.
It is rare for the two of them to walk quietly so tacitly. Suddenly, a pair of lovers walked past them laughing.
"Shall we go to the Bodhi tree over there and make a wish?" A picturesque girl murmured, "I heard that the Bodhi tree is extremely effective, and can bless a lover to grow old together for a lifetime." ”
The girl looked at the man shyly and expectantly, clutching her sleeves with both hands.
The handsome man said with a doting face: "Okay, listen to you"
"You're so nice!" The two of them walked towards the foot of the linden tree.
Ji Qiang's mind moved slightly, and she coughed: "King Qi, how about we go and join in the fun?" "Cow Bar Literature Network
"Okay." Xia Jingnian held her hand quietly, with a slight smile on her face.
Just turn into a side door, the view is open, a tree in the middle of the place is green, mixed with a little star red, some red cloth strips are still swaying with the wind, take a closer look, the name on it is clear and eternal, as if it is with the people who witnessed the most beautiful love in the world.
"His Royal Highness King Qi, Princess Xiaoyang, what a coincidence." A coquettish female voice came, it was An Nan.
Xia Jingnian and Ji Qiang looked at her very tacitly, with an extremely light chin, and did not say hello.
Chamomile and others can't be like this as servants, busy with their bodies: "I've seen the side concubine." ”
"It's really fate, I can meet His Royal Highness King Qi here." An Nan said with a shallow smile on his face, which was very good-looking.
Xia Jingnian's cold eyes swept over her, and he said: "This king feels that he is very disappointed." ”
Princess Annan's enthusiasm was blocked by the iceberg, and her face instantly couldn't hold back.
Looking at King Qi's gentleness towards Ji Qiang, she was very angry, she was also the first beauty in Luohui Country, and now she was a princess, how could she not let Xia Jingnian take a second look!
Her sharp gaze seemed to see through the backs of the two. However, she quickly put away the hideousness on her face and once again showed a smile that made people let go of their guard.
The maidservant next to her had long been accustomed to the joy and anger of her master, and followed her quietly with great eyes.
"Princess Xiaoyang." An Nan's mind turned slightly, she hurriedly followed, and suddenly grabbed Ji Qiang's arm, with a just right smile on her face, "It was my fault last time, and I hope the princess won't be surprised." ”
Ji Qiang smiled lightly and quietly took her arm away: "Oh? Could it be that it was a meeting gift from the side concubine to me, it was really an eye-opener for me. I didn't expect the princess from Luohui State to be like this. ”
As soon as the words fell, An Nan's face became extremely ugly, she was an impostor, it was difficult for Ji Qiang to see through.
No way! From the moment she entered the Chen Dynasty, she was a princess.
Xia Jingnian swept An Nan very impatiently, he directly grabbed Ji Qiang's wrist and brought it to himself, hugged her waist and walked forward: "Let's go, this king doesn't want to stay with ugly people." ”
Ji Qiang held back a smile, but he really didn't give An Nan half of his face, and he killed people and punished his heart, just a matter of one sentence.
"Am I ugly?" An Nan asked the maid next to her in disbelief, her hands were trembling, you must know that this face is what she is most proud of.
The maid trembled and knelt down hurriedly: "Niangniang is the first beauty in Luohui Country, how can she be ugly." ”
"How is it compared to Princess Xiaoyang?" An Nan said angrily.
The maid paused, a little hesitant, although she felt that it was Ji Qiang in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it on her face, she hurriedly said: "Naturally, you are the most beautiful princess, who in the world can compare to you." ”
An Nan was satisfied, and hurriedly followed, she made a special inquiry today before going.
Ji Qiang stood on a small high slope, lowering her eyes, and all she saw were chrysanthemums everywhere, looking good.
"Princess, slave maid go get some clear springs." Xi'er smiled and went with chamomile.
Leng Xiang also wanted to pick flowers and dedicate them to Ji Qiang, and for a while, they all scattered.
An Nan looked around and saw that Xia Jingnian was observing the terrain, she walked next to Ji Qiang, pretended to accidentally push her downhill, and sighed: "Princess Xiaoyang!" ”
