After the heroine was robbed, save the paranoid villain

The most efficacious temple in the capital is Wanhua Temple. Many dignitaries come here to light lamps and pray for blessings, and donate incense money every year.

Princess Xianyi's daughter-in-law was seriously ill. She felt very uncomfortable these days, so she thought of burning incense and worshiping Buddha. She wanted to go to Wanhua Temple in person, walk step by step from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and burn a stick of incense to the Buddha.

Yan Yu accompanied Princess Xianyi to Wanhua Temple.

The princess's mansion informed Wanhua Temple two days in advance that the temple would be closed on the day she went there and pilgrims were no longer allowed to go up the mountain.

Yan Yu hadn't walked like this for many days. She couldn't walk anymore after walking halfway up the mountain, so she sat in a pavilion halfway up the mountain to rest.

Princess Xianyi supported the maid's hand and wiped the sweat from her forehead: "We are so tired, let's take a rest first and ask them to prepare some refreshments."

Yan Yu had taken off her cloak on the way, and now that she was resting, the maids were worried that she would catch a cold from the wind, so they put the cloak around her again.

Yan Yu wiped his face with a handkerchief and said, "It will be noon by the time we get up there."

In fact, this mountain is not very high, and the road up the mountain is well built. Yan Yu and Princess Xianyi seldom walk, so after walking up the mountain, they were both exhausted.

There were about thirty or forty people accompanying them. Ruidong quickly made tea for the two of them and took a plate of almond cakes from the food box.

Yan Yu and Princess Xianyi ate something, took a rest, and then continued to climb the mountain.

"The weather will get warmer in a few days." Yan Yu said, "When the weather gets warmer, sister-in-law's illness will naturally get better."

"I hope so too." Princess Xianyi sighed, "There's nothing wrong with this child marrying in. I hope she gets better soon."

The two men had just reached the top of the mountain when another group of people were about to come up from the foot of the mountain.

The monk at the foot of the mountain came forward and explained: "The mountain gate is not open today, Madam, please come back another day."

Zheng Shu's wife, Guan, coldly asked, "But what ritual is the abbot performing?"

The monk explained, "Princess Xianyi wants to go up the mountain to pray for blessings. To avoid disaster, no one will be received today."

Guan came out of the sedan chair and looked up: "I was wondering who it was. It turned out to be her. A married princess who is even more arrogant than the queen! Let's go up!"

These were people from the Zheng family. For many years, the Zheng family had been able to call the shots in the Wei Dynasty. Now the people coming were the wife of Zheng Shu, the eldest son of the Zheng family, Duke of Yingguo. The monks did not dare to stop them.

Although Princess Xianyi is the emperor's sister, she is not born to the same mother.

Empress Dowager Zheng is the emperor's biological mother, and the Zheng family is very powerful in the court. Who would be so stupid as to dare to block their carriage?

Take Princess Xianyi for example. Her husband died, and the Zheng family was involved in it. As Zheng Shu's wife, Guan knew these private matters very well.

The Zheng family dared to make Princess Xianyi a widow, so are they still afraid of her?

Guan didn't say anything and asked the sedan bearers to carry her up the mountain.

Guan came from a prominent family, married one of the most powerful people in the Wei Dynasty, and had two sons, so her status was naturally secure.

Guan has been in Lingcheng with Zheng Shu for these years. She has not been to the capital for two years. This time Zheng Shu was transferred back and his career was not going well.

Guan had always known that Wanhua Temple was quite effective, so she came here in person. Unexpectedly, Princess Xianyi arrived first and did not allow others to enter the temple to worship.

By the time Guan went upstairs, Princess Xianyi and Yan Yu had already burned incense and were going to the backyard to drink tea and talk to the host.

The weather was nice today. Yan Yu and Princess Xianyi felt a little hot on the way up, so she took off her cloak and wore a cross-collared short jacket with plum blossom patterns, and her moon-white pleated skirt hung down.

Because she was worshiping Buddha, she was dressed rather simply today, without any elaborate jewelry on her head, and only holding a string of sandalwood beads in her hand.

Princess Xianyi took out a handkerchief and wiped Yan Yu's forehead: "Good boy, are you tired? The vegetarian food here is good. I'll ask them to make it for you to try. When we go down the mountain, you can take the sedan chair down."

Yan Yu shook his head gently: "I don't feel too tired."

As the two were talking, they heard a noise coming from outside, and then a guard trotted over to Princess Xianyi and said, "Princess, Madam Zheng is coming over, and your subordinates dare not stop her."

Princess Xianyi was not very happy: "What Madam Zheng?"

"The wife of Lord Zheng Shu, the Prince of England."

As soon as she finished speaking, a trace of hatred flashed in Princess Xianyi's eyes.

Her husband was killed by Zheng Shu. Otherwise, the couple would be living in harmony and happiness now.

Not only did Guan not avoid her when she saw her, she even dared to step forward and provoke her. This shows how arrogant the Zheng family is!

Over there, Guan had already rushed over with her people.

Guan looked about the same age as Empress Zheng. She had sharp eyes and a rather arrogant look. When she saw Princess Xianyi, she smiled and walked up to her: "Princess, I haven't seen you for many years. How have you been these past two years?"

Princess Xianyi smiled slightly: "Of course it's good."

"Speaking of which, I have something I have always wanted to tell you." Guan said with a smile, "I originally wanted to ask the Queen Mother to tell you, but you don't often go to see the Queen Mother. Now that we meet today, it's a good opportunity to talk about it."

Princess Xianyi went to the temple to pray for blessings today, but Guan suddenly jumped out to interrupt her. She was already furious, and now seeing Guan pretending to be so, Princess Xianyi suppressed her temper and said, "Go ahead."

"Lord Liang has passed away for a long time, but the princess is still young and beautiful. I wonder if she is lonely every day?" Guan said with a smile, "It just so happens that a younger brother from my mother's family has lost his first wife. I want to arrange a marriage for the princess so that she will have someone to accompany her for the rest of her life."

When Guan said the three words "Lord Liang", Princess Xianyi's face changed.

After she finished speaking, Princess Xianyi was almost angry to death.

Yan Yu frowned and said, "Madam Zheng, this is a place of meditation in the Buddhist temple, don't tell these frivolous and rude jokes. The princess is the current emperor's sister, you should be careful."

As soon as Guan came over, she noticed Yan Yu. Such a delicate beauty standing there, even if she was wearing a sack, it would be hard to ignore her.

She glanced up and down at Yan Yu's clothes and jewelry, guessing that she might be Princess Xianyi's daughter-in-law. She didn't know how Princess Xianyi had the means to marry such a rare beauty to her son.

Guan's face suddenly turned cold: "When two of us elders are talking, do you have the right to interrupt? Before you got married, didn't your parents teach you how to behave in society?"

After saying this, Yan Yu's face turned pale instantly.

Princess Xianyi pointed at Guan and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think that just because you are the wife of Zheng Shu and the aunt of the fifth prince, you can do whatever you want in the capital?"
