The soft beauty is so good at teasing, the villain prince asks for a kiss

The next day, Rong Heqing went to the princess' courtyard to have dinner. In addition to Concubine Lu and Rong Ji, there were two figures, one tall and one short, sitting beside the round table.

It was Wu Caixue and Rong Qiao.

Wu Caixue saw Rong Heqing coming over and smiled gently, "The princess is here."

Rong Heqing greeted her and sat down next to the princess. "Why are you here, concubine? Didn't Doctor Zhang tell you to have a good rest?"

"I rested long enough yesterday. The palace doctor said that lying down all the time is not good, and I need to get up and walk around. I haven't paid my respects to the princess for a long time. Today, I am released from house arrest, so I hurried over."

The princess said casually: "There is no need to be so anxious. You are pregnant now. I won't blame you even if you don't come."

"Are you all here?" King Annan strode over and sat down next to the princess. The princess nodded and said, "Let's eat."

The attitude is as cold as ever.

Rong Heqing sighed in his heart and silently picked up his bowl.

He didn't talk while eating or sleeping. After finishing his meal, Rong Heqing was just about to drink some tea to relax when Yaogezi opened his mouth.

Wu Caixue wiped her lips with a handkerchief and asked with a smile, "I heard that there will be a great monk giving a lecture at Cangyun Temple in three days. I want to go and burn some incense to pray for the prince and the children, and also ask for some amulets for good luck. I wonder if you two sisters are willing to go with me?"

Incense?

Rong Heqing's heart moved, and he looked at her thoughtfully.

The princess was about to refuse, but King Annan said, "With such a grand event, the temple will surely be packed with people. What if someone bumps into you?"

Wu Caixue smiled softly, touched her still flat belly and said, "So I want you sisters to go together, so we can take care of each other, right?"

King Annan raised his eyebrows: "Do you really want to go?"

Wu Caixue said nothing, but just looked at her steadily with her beautiful eyes.

Rong Qiao stood up and walked to King Annan, pulling his sleeve and acting coquettishly, "Father, please let the concubine go. Qiao'er hasn't been out for a long time! And Qiao'er also wants to pray for his younger brothers and sisters!"

"Brother and sister" touched King Annan's heart. He touched Rong Qiao's head and was slightly shaken.

Just as the princess was about to speak, Wu Caixue suddenly looked at Rong Heqing and said, "Speaking of which, the princess has suddenly become enlightened. Shouldn't she go to the temple to burn incense and fulfill her wish?"

Rong Heqing: “???”

Her enlightenment was not due to the blessing of gods, but the system's conscription. She was about to refuse, but the princess raised her eyebrows and said, "In this case, then go ahead."

Rong Heqing swallowed his words again.

"If all my sisters go, it would be boring for me to stay alone in the mansion, so I'll go too." Concubine Lu glanced at Rong Ji and said with a smile, "I'll ask for a marriage for Ji'er."

"Then let's all go." King Annan decided, "We'll just send more guards when the time comes."

The King of Annan had something to attend to and could not be away, so Rong Ji and his guards accompanied them to protect their safety.

*

Three days passed quickly. Rong Heqing got up early in the morning, changed into a plain light blue dress embroidered with orchids, and went out with Chu Suifeng to wait.

The carriage had already been prepared, and a line of guards wearing light armor and carrying short swords on their waists stood on both sides, holding the reins, with stern faces and awe-inspiring demeanor.

"Qing'er——"

Rong Heqing turned around and saw the princess coming quickly with the maid holding her hand, "Here—"

She took a white gauze hat from the maid behind her and handed it to Rong Heqing, "Put it on when you get off the carriage."

Rong Heqing took it, touched the soft white gauze and nodded.

She understands that it's not easy to show up in public when you're out.

Soon Wu Caixue brought Rong Qiao and Concubine Lu to join them.

After they exchanged greetings, they got on their respective carriages.

Rong Ji was dressed in a moon-white suit, with his hair tied up with a silver crown. He rode his horse and walked in the front, capturing the hearts of women wherever he went.

Ronghe quietly lifted the carriage curtain and looked out. The bustling scene of the border town was in full view, and he looked quite pleased.

[Host, aren't you worried at all? ]

Rong Heqing leaned against the window and looked out, and asked with great interest: [What are you worried about? ]

[There must be something fishy going on when things are out of the ordinary. Wu Caixue suddenly went out. What if there is some conspiracy? ]

[Then you have to go out even more.] Ronghe smiled, [If you don't cooperate, she won't be able to carry out her conspiracy, right?]

999 was confused. [Why should I cooperate with her? ]

[Silly child, we can only convict her if we catch her in the act. Otherwise, she is pregnant, and what if her father is confused and really passes the throne to Rong Qiao? ]

Ronghe was settling accounts in a hurry. Since she had come through here, she had to think about herself.

In ancient times, family background and origin were the most important things, so even if she got married, the rise and fall of her mother's family would be closely related to her. If Rong Ji was the crown prince, he would not commit suicide, and the Annan Palace would not fall. But if Rong Qiao was the crown prince, that fool would be fooled by others and would lose everything.

She didn't want people to mention her and say: Oh, you mean the princess who has lost her family?

999 suddenly realized and began to relax.

There were a lot of people leaving the city today, so the carriages went a little faster after all the carriages had left the city. Even so, it still took more than half an hour to reach Cangyun Temple.

Cangyun Temple is built on the mountain. The highest point is the Cangyun Pagoda, which is built on the top of Cangyun Mountain. From a distance, it looks like a handful of snow on the top of the mountain.

The place is shrouded in clouds and mist, giving it a sense of being out of this world.

It was Rong Heqing's first time to visit a temple and they were very shocked.

She put on a bamboo hat and followed the princess up the steps from the foot of the mountain. The guards walked on both sides to clear the way. When the people saw this, they all looked over and consciously kept a distance from them.

"The palace is halfway up the mountain. If you get tired, you can take a sedan chair up." Concubine Lu smiled and glanced at Wu Caixue. "Sister, you are pregnant and it's hard. Why don't you take a sedan chair?"

Wu Caixue pulled Rong Qiao up a step, looked up at her and then at the princess, "It's a bit unusual for my sister to ride in a sedan alone, how about you two sisters come with me? And the princess, it's sunny and the stone steps are long, the princess will probably be too hot if she climbs halfway up the mountain."

Rong Heqing didn't answer immediately. He glanced at the princess. The princess thought for a moment and nodded, "Lanxiang, go get six sedan chairs."

"Mother, I can just walk up." Rong Ji declined, and the princess said, "Okay, five then."

Lanxiang left in a hurry, and a group of people carrying the sedan chair lined up and came forward.

Rong Heqing: [Xiao Jiujiu, can you check if there are any problems with these sedan chairs? ]

999: [Sure.]

The system's light enveloped the sedan, scanning it rapidly, and after a moment it said with certainty: [Safe.]

Rong Heqing then helped the princess up, and she followed closely behind.

The bearers lifted the sedan steadily. A breeze blew, and Rong Heqing's veil flew up. For a moment, she seemed to see a familiar figure.

She lifted the white veil with one hand and looked carefully, but saw nothing.

I read it wrong?

Chu Suifeng followed beside the sedan chair, and seeing her like this, he lowered his voice and asked, "What's wrong?"

Rong Heqing came back to his senses and shook his head: "No, let's go."

The sedan chair swayed all the way up the stone steps. The breeze brought a cool breeze, the clouds blocked the scorching sun, and the atmosphere was bustling with people and the incense was burning brightly.

Under the stone steps and ancient tree, Shu Xian looked at the sedan chair going away, smiled slightly, and said to the person behind him: "Follow."
