Chapter 10 Fanjing Temple
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Qi Ying and Princess Su said that they wanted to go to Fanjing Temple on the outskirts of the capital to pray, but she agreed without saying anything. So, Qi Ying and Xi Ji got into a green canopy carriage early, and under the escort of two palace guards, they went to Fanjing Temple lightly.
Every New Year's Festival, whether it is a noble family or a common person in Chengping City, they all like to drag their families to Fanjing Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha. Therefore, on the way to Fanjing Temple, the crowd is endless, and it is extraordinary.
In a secluded clean room in Fanjing Temple, Qi Ying was seeing two people, the two people her mother had told her before she left Xuan Jin. One was a woman a few years younger than her mother, with a somewhat similar face to her mother, but between her eyebrows and eyes, she was a little less resolute and a little more feminine; The other was a sturdy man, with thick eyebrows and eyes, and dark skin, and there was no resemblance to her mother, but he was seven or eight points similar to Jing Guogong.
They are the younger brothers and sisters of Qi Ying's mother's mother, and they are also the second son and third daughter of Jing Guogong, but they are not the same mother as Princess Su Yi Shuwan. Jing Guogong's wife died of illness after giving birth to his third daughter, Yi Shurou, and Jing Guogong straightened the concubine Zhao at that time, that is, the mother of Princess Su, the current Duchess Jingguo.
On the third day of Qi Ying's new year, let Xi Ji quietly hand over a letter to Yi Shurou and invite them to meet. Therefore, Yi Shurou brought her brother Yi Xiaoze to come as promised today. When the two saw Qi Ying, their eyes became more and more ruddy, Yi Shurou approached Qi Ying, took her hand and looked at it carefully: "I met that day, but I didn't know it was my sister's flesh and blood", Yi Shurou choked up and said, "God has eyes, my sister is still alive, I don't want to see her child today......"
"I didn't know it, but my mother told me about it before she sent me to Beiyuan. At that time, she was framed by someone and almost died, but fortunately she was rescued by the eldest princess Qiyue, and she pretended to be a maid to Xuanjin, and married my father by chance, so that she has now. The Zhao family in the house, the mother was afraid of the trouble to her uncle and aunt, so she didn't dare to deliver the news rashly, and later Xuan Jin and Beiyuan almost had a dispute, and the private message was even more afraid to be delivered privately. Qi Ying said, taking out two letters from the box, one for Yi Xiaoze and one for Yi Shurou. At this time, Yi Shurou's eyes were already blurred with tears, and Yi Xiaoze's eyes were also flushed with red threads.
"How is my sister now?" Yi Hyo-taek asked.
"In the house, my mother is the head of the house, my younger brother is filial, and everything is quite smooth, but her health is not very good, and it is the root of the disease that fell when she was framed, and she has not been cured over and over again."
"The Zhao family is vicious, I will not spare her if she cruelly harms my dear relatives like this......" Yi Xiaoze clenched his fists and his face was full of resentment.
Qi Ying: "Uncle, please calm your anger, the Zhao family is vicious, and there should be retribution." It's just that now the Zhao family has a deep foundation and has helped too much, it can't shake her at one time, we still have to wait for the right time......."
"Ying'er is right, not only does the Zhao family have a noble daughter of Princess Su by her side, but her father's duke position is also firmly grasped in the hands of her own son, how can we get her now? If you want to deal with her, you have to cut her wings, cut off her dependence, and slowly figure it out. When she is weak, it is not too late to avenge her mother and sister. Yi Shurou said unhurriedly, "It's just a shadow, you are now married to Yi Shuwan's son, and you are in the Su Palace, let us do what you do to deal with the Zhao family, and you can't let Yi Shuwan and them find out your identity." Yi Shuwan is thoughtful, and she is ruthless and does not lose to the Zhao family. Also, she doesn't like her son marrying you, the lord of a neighboring country, and you have to be careful to live in the palace in the future. ”
Qi Ying: "Auntie, don't worry, Ying'er will be careful." The murder of her mother should have nothing to do with Yi Shuwan. My mother didn't say it clearly at the time, because she was afraid that I would seek revenge on Yi Shuwan for her and put myself in danger. If my uncle and aunt were determined to avenge my grandmother and my mother, how could I stand idly by? ”
"The prince is your husband, and he is the son of Yi Shuwan, let you be in the middle of this grievance, how should your marriage be maintained?" Yi Shurou was still not at ease, and continued to persuade Qi Ying.
"Since ancient times, how many people dare to marry and marry each other in vain? Auntie, don't worry about me anymore, it's ......."
The shadow could see it, and the aunt was relieved. I'm still able to speak in the mansion now, your uncle's official is a servant of the military department, if there is anything in the future, you can let people come to me......"
Yi Shurou took Qi Ying's hand and patted it gently.
Yi Xiaoze had calmed down, his eyes and anger had dissipated, and he looked at Qi Ying softly: "Uncle still lives in the Jingguo Mansion, but I lead the troops all the year round, and there are Zhao's eyeliners everywhere in the Guogong Mansion, so it is inconvenient to come and go too closely, your aunt and your aunt usually have dealings, and you can tell me through your aunt if you have something to ......."
Qi Ying bowed his head and said, "Yes"
"It's getting late, we should go back."
Yi Shurou stood up and wanted to look outside.
"Okay, please also ask your uncle and aunt to go first, let's go together for fear of attracting people's ears."
Qi Ying said goodbye to his uncle and aunt, and then returned to the Buddhist hall from the trail, and took Xi Ji and the others back by car after putting on a few sticks of incense.
