Xiao Yunxi's harsh words made the old lady lose all her temper. She slumped in the chair, staring blankly ahead.
Lu Jingting was even more attracted to Xiao Yunxi at this moment. In his mind, a woman should be like Lin Wan'er, docile, well-behaved, humble, and put her husband first in everything, just like a man's accessory.
But now, Xiao Yunxi stood there, determined, calm, and fearless, which shocked him.
His wife is talented, gentle, elegant and virtuous.
His wife wanted to stay with him forever...
Lu Jingting lowered his head, covered his red eyes, and walked out without saying a word. Before leaving, he whispered, "Princess, I'm sorry."
Xiao Yunxi didn't care about the reactions of the people in Shou'an Hall. She bowed to the old lady who was sitting there in a daze and left leisurely.
That night, Lu Jingting tossed and turned, Xiao Yunxi's face kept flashing in his mind, cold, mocking...
However, the big mistake has been made, and we can only find ways to make up for it.
If he can successfully inherit the Zhennan Palace in the future, he will definitely hand over the military power to His Majesty in order to save the lives of everyone in the Zhennan Palace, and also... keep Xiao Yunxi.
Regardless of the depth of his relationship with Lin Wan'er, the existence of the two children made it impossible to completely sever the connection between them.
In the future, he will still treat Wan'er well, but he is afraid that he will break his promise...
In the following half month, the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion was unusually peaceful. Even when Xiao Yunxi brought Lu Zhan back to the Ningguo Marquis Mansion to be taught by the Second Young Master Xiao, the old lady and Lu Jingting just accepted it in silence.
Lin Wan'er was like a nun, either copying Buddhist scriptures in her room or preparing a variety of vegetarian dishes for the old lady in the small kitchen.
Time quickly came to the first day of May.
Early in the morning, Xiao Yunxi happily dressed up.
Since we are going to Huguo Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings, it is naturally not appropriate to dress too brightly.
But her natural beauty could not be concealed. Even when Xiao Yunxi was wearing a plain dress with only a peach wood hairpin in her hair, she was still breathtakingly beautiful.
"My lord, if the Princess of Yongning sees you, she will say that you look like a sickly Xi Shi, with a mouthful of steel teeth that can't stand up to others."
Her princess looked weak and frail, but her sharp tongue always made Princess Yongning so angry that she would jump to her feet.
Xiao Yunxi also thought of Mu Yunqing's angry look, and couldn't help laughing, "Stinky girl, you only know how to frame me, hurry up, we have to leave."
"Yes, Princess." Chun Xiao smiled and helped Xiao Yunxi up, ready to set off.
"Oh my God, these 999 stone steps in front of the Huguo Temple are really going to kill me." Mu Yunqing complained while wiping the sweat off his face.
"Then why did you ask me to come to Huguo Temple to burn incense?" Xiao Yunxi rolled her eyes speechlessly.
"You heartless little bastard, isn't it your birthday coming up soon? Didn't I want to get a pair of Buddhist beads blessed by the abbot for you to keep you safe?"
Mu Yunqing poked Xiao Yunxi's forehead with a finger.
"Then why don't you ask for it yourself and then give it to me? Isn't that the same thing?"
Xiao Yunxi dodged and retorted.
"..." Mu Yunqing was so angry that he put his hands on his hips and couldn't say a word for a long time.
After a lot of arguing for an incense stick of time, the two finally entered the gate of the Huguo Temple and burned incense and worshiped Buddha under the guidance of the little monk.
Because Mu Yunqing still needed to ask the host master to interpret the fortune for Master Qi San, Xiao Yunxi went out for a walk by herself.
Seeing a pavilion not far away, she asked Chunxiao to find some tea and snacks while she went to sit in the pavilion first.
Not long after sitting down, there was a sound of footsteps behind him. Xiao Yunxi said without turning her head, "You must be exhausted. Come and sit down and have some tea with me."
The person behind him didn't speak or move.
Xiao Yunxi sensed something strange and turned around, only to see Prince Duan Xie Jun standing two steps away.
His narrow and long phoenix eyes slightly raised, his eyebrows slightly raised, and his thin lips slightly parted, "Long time no see, Sister Changle."
Hearing the words "Sister Changle", Xiao Yunxi came back to her senses immediately, stood up hurriedly, and saluted respectfully, "Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Duan, may His Royal Highness be blessed with good health."
"Haha, I haven't seen you for a few years. You seem to be more polite than when you were a kid." Xie Junyao looked at Xiao Yunxi with a half-smile, "It seems that the Zhennan Palace has smoothed out your edges?"
His tone was gentle and pleasant, but Xiao Yunxi felt nervous inside and her body trembled unconsciously.
She maintained her saluting posture and replied softly, "Yun Xi was ignorant before and offended Your Highness. Please forgive me."
Everyone in the Dali period knew that Prince Duan hated shrews who were rude, disrespectful and immoral the most.
If I did it like when we were kids, I would ride on him and knock out one of his teeth, and then I would be beaten half to death by the whip in his hand.
If you want to set a trap for me, I won't fall for it.
Of course, Xiao Yunxi only dared to criticize in her heart, and remained respectful on the surface.
"Get up!" Xie Junyao walked to the seat where Xiao Yunxi had just sat and said, "I heard that you sent your adopted eldest son to Xiao Er to teach?"
"Yes."
"Have you decided which child to choose?"
"Yes."
"Don't want to get back together with Lu Jingting?"
"Yes."
"why?"
"Because he doesn't deserve it."
"What are you going to do with the other two children?"
"Let nature take its course."
"Are you not afraid that they will ruin your plans in the future?"
"A dragon gives birth to a dragon and a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix. A child born from a stupid father and a stupid mother is nothing to be afraid of."
"What are your plans after this is done?"
"..."
Xiao Yunxi stood aside and cursed inwardly, "Xie Junyao, are you sick? Why do you have so many questions?"
"Heh, are you cursing me in your heart again?"
"Uh, Your Highness is joking. Changle doesn't dare."
Xiao Yunxi quickly lowered her head and replied carefully: "Changle hasn't thought about it that much yet."
"Oh? Have you ever thought about keeping a few male lovers and living a carefree life as an old lady in a royal palace?" Xie Junyao asked calmly, "I remember your birthday wish when you were seven years old, which was to keep a dozen or twenty handsome men as your concubines in your own princess's mansion?"
"..." Xiao Yunxi hesitated for a long time, her face flushed, and she replied with a little annoyance: "That was a childhood joke, don't take it seriously. Although Changle will not be a widow for Lu Jingting in the future, she will definitely keep herself clean..."
"What if you meet someone you like again?" Xie Junyao asked with interest.
"Your Highness, Changle is the Princess of Dali, so she will naturally obey the emperor's orders and will not make a private marriage."
"Very good." Xie Junyao looked at the figure in the distance with a slight smile on his face, "The Princess of Yongning County should have come to look for you. Go ahead."
"Yes, Changle will take his leave."
Xiao Yunxi turned around quickly and walked away quickly, as if there was an evil ghost chasing her.
Xie Junyao looked at Xiao Yunxi's fleeing appearance, his expression became deep, and his eyes were filled with undisguised possessiveness, "Will you obey the command of the Holy Lord?"
Mu Yunqing saw Xiao Yunxi hurriedly approaching, and hurried forward to hold her, "Where have you been? Come with me and burn another stick of incense."
"Yes, Sister Yun, I want to burn a bunch of incense!"
"..."
Xiao Yunxi sincerely worshipped the Buddha and murmured in a low voice:
"Bodhisattva, it must be your mercy that allowed me to live again. From now on, I will punish evil and promote good, and live up to the care of the Bodhisattva."
"Please protect me from being targeted by Prince Duan. I will burn incense and make offerings every day. I will burn them in bundles here on the first day of every month!"
