The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

In this new life, Yang Qi attaches much more importance and respects worshiping Buddha than before.

After confirming the time with Xu, Yang Qi got up early in the morning and washed up. The road to Lingshan Temple was long, so the earlier he set out, the earlier he could arrive.

According to Xu, it is better to hurry up early than late.

Nanny Zhu knew that Yang Qi was going to Lingshan Temple today, so she specially chose a plain dress and a simple hairstyle. When going to worship Buddha, it is better to be simple and generous, not too luxurious.

Mother He was busy in the small kitchen. The breakfast delivered every day from the big kitchen were all common ones. In order to let Yang Qi eat more, Mother He used the small kitchen and cooked a special meal for Yang Qi every day.

Fortunately, Yang Qi now has a farm, and all the ingredients for Linhuyuan can be delivered directly from the farm. The quality is guaranteed, and the money of the mansion will not be used.

Since they were traveling most of the day, the breakfast prepared by He's mother consisted of dry food, such as steamed dumplings and eggs, so as to avoid embarrassment if Yang Qi wanted to go to the bathroom on the way.

In the carriage, Yang Qi saw that Xu's eyes were a little dark, thinking that she didn't get enough rest last night, and hurriedly took Xu's hand: "I wonder what big brother is learning in Kongyang Academy? Is it the same as what Mr. Yang taught at that time?"

When Yang Qing was mentioned, Xu smiled. "Kongyang Academy teaches a lot of things, including etiquette, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics. I heard from your elder brother that the atmosphere in Kongyang Academy is very good, and students can express their opinions on current affairs. Yang Qing said that there is no right or wrong in many places, but different positions and attitudes."

Yang Qi looked at Xu and nodded: "The sounds of wind, rain and reading are all pleasant to the ear; the affairs of family, nation and the world are all of concern. Those who come out of Kongyang Academy are all talented, and will be the pillars of future dynasties." This also means that most of the students in Kongyang Academy have their own enthusiasm for national construction.

Xu patted Yang Qi's hand and said, "When Yang Qing came back this time, she said that the court now attaches more importance to students, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will occasionally come to the academy to listen to everyone's views and opinions."

Yang Qi blinked: "Your Highness the Crown Prince? I had the honor of seeing him from afar once when I went to the princess's mansion for a banquet with my second sister." The communication and contact between her and Yuan Ruiyuan were all secret. Yang Qi must not reveal in public that she knew His Highness the Crown Prince.

Xu was very interested in this legendary prince, and she talked a lot when she mentioned him: "I heard that this prince is both civil and military, and very resourceful. When Yang Qing mentioned him privately, she always praised him highly."

Yang Qi leaned on Xu: "Brother is also very capable! He is the youngest person in history to be admitted to Kongyang Academy!" Yang Qing is not only the pride of Xu, but also the pride of Yang Qi!

Xu smiled implicitly: "I don't know if your elder brother can catch the eye of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

In Xu's eyes, since Yuan Ruiyuan is the crown prince, he will be the future emperor. Yang Qing is destined to enter the court. If she can gain the favor of the crown prince, then her years of hard study will have paid off.

Yang Qi shook Xu's hand and said, "I don't think Big Brother will necessarily stay in the capital. Judging from Big Brother's poems and his way of dealing with people, I'm afraid he would rather make achievements at the grassroots level."

Yang Qing is an ambitious person, and his greatest wish is to achieve academic success and use his abilities and knowledge to do something for the people. If Yang Qi were to say, Yang Qing would definitely become a good official who loves the people like his own children.

Xu always put her sons first, especially Yang Qing, her eldest son who had his own ideas since he was young. Xu never interfered too much with Yang Qing's decisions, but only tried her best to satisfy them.

Xu and Yang Qi were chatting in the carriage. After a while, Fang's mother pulled the curtain and came in: "Madam, Miss, there are too many carriages outside. The road is blocked now."

Yang Qi looked out of the window and saw that all the carriages on the road were lined up one after another: "Mother Fang, I think we are still far away from Lingshan Temple."

Mother Fang nodded: "Yes, today is not a big day, I don't know why there are so many people on the road? It's all blocked, I don't know when we can get there."

Xu was not worried: "We have already made an appointment with the monks of Lingshan Temple. The side rooms have been reserved. We just need to get to Lingshan Temple before the sun sets today."

Yang Qi thought about the road conditions and said to Xu: "I'm afraid something must have happened ahead. Let's ask someone."

Xu felt that what Yang Qi said made sense, so she nodded and did not interfere too much.

Yang Qi said to the outside of the curtain: "Xin Che, go to the front and ask what happened. Also, ask why there are so many people going to Lingshan Temple today?"

Xinche nodded and went to the front to ask some passers-by and maids.

Since it would take some time to reach Lingshan Temple, Yang Qi took out a book from his bag and started reading.

Xu looked at the bookworm Yang Qi, exchanged glances with Fang Mama, and smiled helplessly. There were two bookworms in the mansion, one was Yang Qing and the other was Yang Qi. These two siblings could take out books and read them anytime and anywhere.

Last time, Yang Qi caught a cold and had a high fever, but as soon as she woke up, she started reading. Xu tried to stop her, but Yang Qi only read when she was around, and kept reading secretly in private.

Xinche is the most capable maidservant around Yang Qi, and is the one who is taught the most by Mama He and Mama Zhu. This is why Yang Qi often takes Xinche with her when she goes out.

Soon, Xin Che came with the news: "Miss, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to Lingshan Temple today. The ladies from all the families heard the news and came here. The carriage of Princess Cheng'an broke down and blocked the road."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Why did he come to join in the fun?

Yang Qi used a bookmark to mark the part he was reading: "Is Princess Cheng'an waiting in the front?" If the carriage really broke down, I'm afraid this ancestor would be cursing in the streets already.

Xin Che lowered his voice and said, "Miss, after Princess Cheng'an knew that the carriage was broken, she was pious and rode to Lingshan Temple by herself. However, the carriage had not been repaired yet, so everyone was blocked."

Yang Qi smiled lightly: "I see, you come up first. We don't know how long the traffic jam will last. The sun is getting hotter and hotter outside. Let's take shelter in the carriage." Fortunately, Xu's carriage was big enough, and four people would not be crowded in the carriage.

Hearing about Princess Cheng'an's behavior, Xu frowned and said, "This is too exaggerated. She blocked all the roads in the capital by herself." Princess Cheng'an put some thought into every time she threw herself at the side of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but her thoughts were too simple and everyone could see through them.

Sometimes Yang Qi thought about this and was really puzzled. Princess Cheng'an's mother was Princess Heshou, who also came from the palace. Why did Princess Cheng'an act so disregardingly and reveal so many little thoughts?
