Chapter 412: Trip to Ciguang Temple
"Li Qianru, what are you doing?"
Xie Yunche lifted Shen Jiaojiao from his arms and looked at Li Qianru with disgust.
"Look at your ugly face, you keep saying foul language, how can you look like a rich lady at all?"
"I will tell my uncle later and ask him to discipline you."
"Do not."
Li Qianru shook her head in horror. Her life was already very difficult now. If her cousin went to the mansion and told her again, she would be sent to the family temple.
"No, cousin, I know I was wrong. I will never come to Prince Yan's Mansion again. Please don't tell my father. I'm leaving right now."
After saying this, he ran into the carriage in a trance. Seeing this, the coachman quickly drove the carriage away.
Shen Jiaojiao was still leaning in Xie Yunche's arms, with a fair and tender hand placed on his chest, forming a sharp contrast with the crimson python robe on his body.
"Jiaojiao, my cousin has left."
As he spoke, he used a little force to pull Shen Jiaojiao out of his arms.
Shen Jiaojiao didn't stay in his arms, but moved back following his force.
"Your Majesty~"
Xie Yunche saw that her originally delicate face was red and swollen, and his expression froze for a moment, "I'll ask the court doctor to see you later."
As he spoke, he walked towards the mansion, and Shen Jiaojiao hurriedly followed behind.
"Your Highness, there is no need to be so troublesome. Jiaojiao can just go to your courtyard."
"Ah."
Xie Yunche paused for a moment, but did not refuse.
Shen Jiaojiao curled the corners of her mouth slightly. As expected, all men are the same. As long as you are willing to work hard, even an iceberg can be moved.
"Your Highness, the wound on this girl's face is a little red and swollen, but it's nothing serious. Apply this ointment twice a day and it will soon be back to normal."
The doctor in Prince Yan's mansion put down a porcelain bottle, bowed, and left.
Shen Jiaojiao looked at Xie Yunche with tears in her eyes as she was grateful. She stretched out a hand and carefully tugged at Xie Yunche's clothes. Seeing that he did not refuse, there was a hint of happiness on her face.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Seeing her like this, Xie Yunche's heart beat uncontrollably faster for a moment.
She has been here for several months, and during this time someone has been watching her, but no abnormal behavior has been noticed.
There are only two possibilities now, either I have wronged her, or she is hiding it too deeply.
As he thought about this, he stared at Shen Jiaojiao, as if trying to find some hint of guilt in his face or eyes.
After looking for a long time, he found nothing. Instead, Shen Jiaojiao looked shy and timid under his gaze. Her misty eyes looked even more pitiful after shedding tears.
"My Lord, you look at me like this, I..."
The rest of the words were not spoken, but both of them understood the meaning of what was left unsaid.
"Cough cough."
Xie Yunche cleared his throat and said, "I have something else to do. Please leave first."
"Yes, Your Majesty, please take care of yourself and don't overwork yourself."
Xie Yunche's expression softened, "I know, you can go down now."
Shen Jiaojiao didn't say anything else. She straightened her body slightly and walked out.
I walked out for a long time before I touched my face. It seems that today was not completely in vain.
However, the effect was still not good enough. Xie Yunche was very wary of me, so this wouldn't work.
There was a gleam in her eyes, it seemed that she had to think of another way.
Ciguang Temple in Beijing
"Ali, we're here."
Pei Yu got off his horse and helped Shen Li down from the carriage. Both of them had nothing to do today so they came to Ci Guang Temple. Last time, Pei Yu said that he would bring her to Ci Guang Temple to worship his mother.
"Let's go."
Pei Yu's expression was no different from usual, but Shen Li still keenly sensed that he was not in a good mood.
Shen Li moved closer to him and held his hand with her wide sleeves. As soon as their hands touched, Pei Yu held Shen Li's hand in return, with a strong force but not enough to hurt her.
Ciguang Temple is well-known throughout the capital, so there are many horse-drawn carriages parked at the foot of the mountain. Not only dignitaries, but also many ordinary people come here to burn incense and worship. Therefore, a small market has been formed at the foot of the mountain, which is very lively.
The two walked up the steps side by side. Knowing that he was in a bad mood, Shen Li did not talk to him. She glanced at the surrounding scenery from time to time and slowly arrived at Ciguang Temple on the mountain.
What he needs at this time is company. No matter how much you say, it will be useless. He has to resolve this situation on his own.
After all, so many years had passed and Pei Yu had grown up. Perhaps the affection in his heart was ignited at this moment, so he was a little silent.
The gate of Ciguang Temple is grand and spectacular, with many pilgrims coming in and out.
"Master Pei, you are here."
Not long after the two entered the temple, a middle-aged monk recognized Pei Yu.
"Master Hui Guang." Pei Yu performed a Buddhist salute to Master Hui Guang.
"I wonder why the donor is here today?"
Pei Yu looked at Shen Li beside him and said, "This is my fiancée. Bring her here for my mother to see."
"Hello, female donor," Master Huiguang looked at the two of them with a kind gaze, "I'm sure your father would be happy for you if he knew about this in the afterlife."
"Thank you for your kind words, Master."
Next, Master Huiguang led the way for the two of them, and Pei Yu chatted with him from time to time.
Shen Li discovered that Pei Yu was completely different here than he was outside. In this temple, he was no longer the high and mighty King Jingnan outside, but just an ordinary child who came to worship his mother.
"We are here, please come in, two donors."
"Thank you, Master."
After expressing their gratitude, the two of them walked into the Zen room. There was a perpetual lamp in the room, and behind the lamp was the spirit tablet of Pei Yu's mother.
Pei Yu took a few incense sticks and lit them, then gave some to Shen Li, with a gentle look on his face, "Mother, this is Ah Li, she is Zi An's lover, and will also be your daughter-in-law."
Shen Li also knelt beside him, "Mom, I'm Shen Li, your future daughter-in-law."
Pei Yu looked at her with a smile, "Your future daughter-in-law still calls me mother?"
Shen Li raised an eyebrow, "Then I should call you aunt?"
"No," Pei Yu's face was full of domineering, "Since you call me mother, then you are my wife, and you can't change your words."
Pei Yu stayed in the room for a quarter of an hour. He told his mother some recent events and then came out.
After leaving the room, the depressed mood on his face disappeared.
"Ali, the scenery of this Ciguang Temple is quite nice. I'll take you around. The vegetarian food here tastes great too. We'll have lunch here."
"Okay!"
He was in high spirits now, and Shen Li did not spoil his fun.
Pei Yu took Shen Li to a small hill opposite the temple, which was also within the temple's premises, from where one could overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire Ciguang Temple.
