Dressed as the villain's stepmother

In that explosion, not only the jade pendant given to her by Liao Yunchuan was damaged, but also the drone in her arsenal.

Jiang Lianzhu felt very sorry in her heart.

Drones are something that cannot be produced in this era. If they are gone, they will be gone forever...

She can replicate a wheelchair, but a drone requires too many precision parts, and Jiang Lianzhu doesn’t know if there is any way to replicate it in this era.

Jiang Lianzhu was lamenting about her drone, and even the mood of watching the eldest prince's jokes disappeared.

Before I knew it, the car had already driven out for a long time.

"Shopkeeper, we're here."

Liu Qingqing's reminder brought Jiang Lianzhu back to her senses, lifted up her skirt, and got out of the carriage holding Liao Yunchuan's memorial tablet.

Facing it is a majestic temple with a huge plaque saying "Royal Temple".

Because this temple has royal support, the incense is very popular. Before Jiang Lianzhu entered the temple, she smelled waves of incense coming with the breeze.

It is indeed a clean and suitable place for spiritual practice.

However, as for the person living in the royal monastery, it is unknown whether his practicing mind is peaceful or not.

"This is a royal temple. Outsiders are not allowed to enter without the permission of the royal family. The female donor should leave quickly."

The young novice monk who was waiting to sweep the temple in front of their carriage stopped them.

Jiang Lianzhu told the little novice that she had come to the temple with His Majesty's permission to burn incense and pray for blessings. After that, the little novice quickly entered the temple. Soon after, special people welcomed them into the temple.

Jiang Lianzhu followed the monk and took Liu Qingqing with her to observe the situation in the temple.

"Thank you, little master. I wonder what the master's name is and how to address him?"

"The young monk's Dharma name is to warn against anger. If the female donor has something to do, just call the young monk's Dharma name. I will lead the donor to the Zen room to rest."

Jiehe lowered his head slightly and said calmly.

"Thank you, Master Jie Hui."

"The female benefactor does not have to do this. Since the benefactor wants to enshrine your husband's tablet in the temple to drive away evil spirits, just wait until the benefactor rests in the Zen room before looking for the young monk."

"If Master is busy with other things, I can enshrine my husband's tablet in the hall by myself."

Jiang Lianzhu continued.

"The female donor doesn't know something. There are noble people living in the royal temple, and there are certain things about enshrining tablets. The young monk is worried that the female donor will break the rules and cause unnecessary trouble."

Having said that, Jiang Lianzhu stopped arguing.

"Then I'll be glad to help you, little master."

Jiang Lianzhu followed Jie Ai into the Zen room and settled the affairs in the Zen room.

afternoon.

Stop being angry and arrange to enshrine the Liao Yunchuan tablet to eliminate evil spirits.

"Female donor, this tablet is enshrined here. It requires the female donor to hand-copy the scriptures to be sincere enough. Therefore, in the next few days, I will go to the female donor's meditation room to pick up the hand-written scriptures."

"I've written it down, thank you little master."

Jiang Lianzhu answered, looking at the various longevity tablets in the hall, and seemed to ask casually.

"Little Master, you said before that noble people live in this temple. I met His Royal Highness on the way here. He also came to this royal temple to pray?"

Along the way, she thought a lot about the eldest prince's words.

The more I think about it, the more strange it becomes.

"No, female benefactor, there is only one noble lady, the Queen Mother, who is doing the Qing Xiu in our temple now. The purpose of coming here, the eldest prince, is the same as you, female benefactor."

Jiang Lianzhu was startled by the words of quitting anger.

"You mean the eldest prince also came to the royal temple to worship the tablet? Who was he worshiping?"

"The first queen enshrined by the eldest prince."

Jie Ai answered Jiang Lianzhu's questions.

Although Jiang Lianzhu is not a member of the royal family, they need to be careful with anyone whom His Majesty agrees to.

"I didn't expect that His Highness the First Prince would come to the temple to worship the late Queen. Aren't all members of the royal family buried in the Royal Garden Mausoleum?"

She still felt that it was fake that the eldest prince came to the royal temple to worship the late queen's tablet.

Every year, the royal family has a specific day for sacrifices. Not only that, those with high status also have their own birthdays every year.

If the eldest prince really wants to pay homage to the late empress, he has many opportunities.

It doesn’t have to be in a royal temple.

What's more important is that the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister's daughter Xiao Xiyan still live in this temple.

"The female donor's words were wrong."

"The eldest prince respects the late empress very much. Since the late queen passed away, the eldest prince has enshrined the late queen's tablet in this royal temple. Not only this year, the eldest prince has to come to the temple to pay homage several times every year."

Jie Ai corrected Jiang Lianzhu's remarks.

"The young monk heard that the late empress took great care of the eldest prince when she was still alive. I think the eldest prince is grateful for the late empress's careful care of him, so that's why."

Jiang Lianzhu was noncommittal.

For a person as cruel and ruthless as the eldest prince, she still couldn't imagine that he could be so interested in someone.

After Jie Ai had placed Liao Yunchuan's tablet, she returned to the Zen room again. Remembering Jie Ai's words, she hurriedly wrote a letter and gave it to the guards His Majesty had given him.

His Majesty told her that those guards were all hers, and they were sent first to protect her and secondly to facilitate her contact with Liao Yunchuan.

This letter is now going to be delivered to Liao Yunchuan.

In her opinion, the fact that the eldest prince entered the royal temple was really strange.

After the letter was delivered, Jiang Lianzhu took Liu Qingqing to the courtyard where the Queen Mother Qingxiu was repairing.

"My wife, Jiang Lianzhu, brought her husband Liao Yunchuan to the royal temple to pray for blessings and eliminate disasters. This disturbed the Queen Mother's Qingxiu, and she specially brought her maid here to pay her respects and apologize."

Outside Yazhu Garden, Jiang Lianzhu explained her intention to the palace attendants.

After informing her of her intention, the guards in front of the garden gate let her into the hospital, but even so, Jiang Lianzhu still did not see the Queen Mother.

"The Queen Mother is taking a nap and has not yet woken up. Mrs. Liao is waiting here."

Before she could take a step into the house, she was blocked by Nanny Chen, who was waiting beside the Queen Mother.

Nap?

This excuse is really lame enough.

She glanced at the sunset that was about to set not far away, took a step back, and stood in the courtyard without being arrogant or impetuous.

Jiang Lianzhu knew very well that the Queen Mother's purpose was to suppress her.

The Queen Mother is Xiao Xiyan's aunt. Jiang Lianzhu believes that the Queen Mother has heard about the disagreement between Xiao Xiyan and her in Kyoto that day.

Since it was business as usual, how could the Queen Mother, who was born in the Xiao family, treat her kindly?

When Xiao Xiyan left Beijing that day, she didn't leave the capital in a good manner, and she didn't look good on her face. It seems that the Queen Mother punished her to behave here today just to vent her anger on Xiao Xiyan.

Jiang Lianzhu stood for a while, watching the sunset, then moved her feet.

"It's getting late today, so I won't disturb the Queen Mother's rest."

"Mrs. Liao, the Queen Mother is awake, please tell me."
