The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Having slept late last night, Yang Qi felt very sleepy when he woke up early today.

Xin Che pulled the young lady who couldn't even open her eyes and said flatteringly: "Good young lady, today's ceremony is unprecedentedly grand, and the two ladies will get up early, so we can't be late."

Before coming here, Yang Qi was very much looking forward to listening to the master's lectures, but the monks in Lingshan Temple were all fakes, and these masters must not be much better. After discovering these truths, Yang Qi no longer looked forward to the Dharma Assembly in Lingshan Temple.

The monks of Lingshan Temple not only participated in the struggle in the court, but also made the banned drug "Wu Shi San" and used the name of Lingshan Temple to promote the evil tea. All these practices of Lingshan Temple are not worthy of respect.

Today's Dharma Assembly was a real waste of time. Yang Qi hung his head in boredom, letting Xin Che fiddle with his head and face. He closed his eyes, and what appeared in front of him were the words and notes from yesterday's "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu.

Nanny Zhu had already instructed that the young lady's hair and headdresses in Lingshan Temple should not be ornate. Therefore, Xinche chose a light green hairpin and earrings today, and matched them with a light green dress.

Yang Qi looked in the mirror, saw nothing wrong, nodded and left the room.

As soon as she went out, Yang Qi saw Yang Lan in the yard and called out happily, "Second sister, you got up so early today."

When Yang Lan heard Yang Qi's voice, she smiled and turned back: "Third sister, you too." Yang Lan's outfit today can be described as low-key yet luxurious, with all the colors being light, but every item on her body is worth a lot of money.

Yang Qi stood beside Yang Lan and said, "I didn't pay attention to the time yesterday and went to bed a little late. It's really hard to get up early today."

The yard is not big, so it is not difficult for each other to pay attention to the rest time, just see when the lights are turned off in the house. As soon as Yang Lan got up in the morning, Yu Lu told him about Yang Qi staying up late last night.

Yang Lan looked at Yang Qi's swollen eyes and said, "Your eyes are swollen from reading." Although Yang Lan also likes reading, she is not as obsessed as Yang Qi. For Yang Lan, reading is more of a means and way to understand things.

Yang Qi didn't feel embarrassed at all: "Just go to bed early today."

After waiting in the courtyard for a while, everyone got up one after another. After An got up, everyone headed towards the main hall.

Yang Qi stood beside Xu and whispered, "Second Aunt, the weather is really nice today. It was drizzling yesterday, but it's sunny today."

Xu nodded: "Today is a ritual day, and the weather is also good."

Yang Qi did not refute: "Indeed." If it rains today, the ceremony will still go on as usual, but it will be more painful.

Xu patted Yang Qi's hand and said, "Don't worry, I have made all the arrangements for today. The maids and servants all have umbrellas, so even if it rains, they won't get wet."

Yang Qi blinked: "Second aunt is smart." It turned out that Xu felt that she was worried about getting wet in the rain, and she really didn't think of going together.

As there were too many people in the temple, today's ceremony was held outside the main hall.

The monks of Lingshan Temple had already arranged rows of chairs, as well as some tea and snacks. There was only one chair at the front, and Yang Qi knew it was prepared for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the ones at the back should be Princess Cheng'an and others.

Although An was the wife of a duke, she had no imperial decree, and in today's situation, her status was not considered noble. Therefore, she was only arranged to sit in the fifth row.

Yang Qi and his group sat together with An.

Yang Jing was beside An, complaining, "Mom, this mountain is too humid. I feel like the quilt from yesterday was wet."

An arranged Yang Jing's skirt: "It rained yesterday, so it will be damp today." There were many dignitaries attending the Dharma Assembly today, and An brought Yang Jing to attend the assembly just to show her face. In the past, she was far away in the northwest, and the conditions were limited, so Sister Jing's development was slightly inferior to Yang Lan and Yang Qi.

But in An's eyes, her own sister Jing was extremely intelligent. As long as she was trained well and taken out to see the world more often, she would definitely be able to catch up with Yang Lan and Yang Qi.

I have to say that An is too arrogant.

Yang Qi squinted his eyes, feeling a little sleepy.

Seeing this, Xu felt a little distressed and handed a piece of cake to Yang Qi: "Eat something. Eating something will make you feel better when you are sleepy."

Yang Qi was about to close her eyes, but she opened them again after hearing what Xu said. She took the cake and said, "Thank you, Auntie."

Xu poured a cup of tea and said, "You stayed up late reading again yesterday, didn't you? You really deserve the title of a book lover."

Yang Qi quickly finished her tea: "Second Aunt, you don't know. What I read yesterday was what my eldest brother gave me before the New Year. It was written in gorgeous words."

When this was mentioned, Xu was curious. Her eldest son had loved Yang Qi since he was young, and he would always give Yang Qi some gifts when he returned home. But she didn't know when Yang Qing started giving him books, and the first time he gave him a big box. People who didn't know would think that Yang Qi was going to open a bookstore.

Yang Qi and his group arrived not too early, and most of the residences had already arrived. Of course, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would definitely be the last to appear.

Just as Xu and Yang Qi were chatting and laughing, Princess Cheng'an arrived with the maid's words.

Yang Qi looked up and saw that Princess Cheng An was also wearing formal clothes today. Unlike most people who chose light and elegant colors, Princess Cheng An's orange dress made her look a little playful.

Yang Qi narrowed her eyes at the color. Could it be that she wanted to make a couple's version with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? This Princess Cheng'an was really bold.

As expected, Yuan Ruiyuan was wearing a yellow silk with a four-clawed golden dragon, which made him look very noble. But standing next to Princess Cheng'an, it looked a bit awkward. It was because Princess Cheng'an could not match the aura of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

In such an occasion, Yang Qi knelt on the ground with the crowd and finished the greetings respectfully. Kneeling on the ground, Yang Qi's eyes were cunning. It seemed that the idea of ​​Princess Cheng'an had backfired today. He did not ignore the flash of disgust in the eyes of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Moreover, every noble lady of the aristocratic family was covered with perfume today. In such an environment, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would probably leave before he could finish listening to the whole speech.

There were at least a hundred people outside the hall, and their voices were unusually uniform when they paid their respects, as if they had rehearsed them dozens of times.

After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took his seat, Master Liao Tong began today's Dharma Assembly.

Yang Qi originally wanted to listen to the end with interest, but Master Le Tong's voice made him want to sleep.

Blinking his eyes, Yang Qi ate a few more pieces of cakes to sober himself up.
