Jiang Xuanyan's expression was indifferent.

"No need, I don't believe in ghosts and gods."

Chen Ningzhu said hurriedly, "I know that Your Highness is the son of a dragon and a phoenix, and must be blessed with great fortune, but I really feel... Just think of it as a way to reassure me, and ask for Your Highness's permission, okay?"

Jiang Xuanyan narrowed his eyes.

"You are quite gentle today, unlike before."

Shen Ningzhu's heart tightened. When she met those deep eyes, she felt inexplicably flustered, afraid that he would notice something. She had no choice but to clench her palms tightly, using the pain in her palms to force herself to stay calm.

"I, I just..."

Jiang Xuanyan raised his hand to stop her from speaking, "Alright, at three quarters of an hour tomorrow, go to the gate of the mansion and take the carriage."

Shen Ningzhu was ecstatic, "Thank you, Your Highness."

After she finished speaking, she turned around, lifted the hem of her skirt, and left like a fluttering butterfly.

On the second day, Chen Ningzhu got up early for the first time and dressed very formally.

She specially picked out the embroidered dress that the prince gave her last time, and asked her maid to bring along the Suzhou embroidery moon-shaped skirt, the floor-length water-sleeved pleated phoenix-tail skirt, and the jade-colored embroidered branch-shaped and flowered skirt.

The reason is: it is easy to sweat in summer, so you can change it at any time if necessary.

The ladies of noble families in Beijing would also bring spare clothes, jewelry, fruits, snacks, cosmetics and other items when going out. The more particular ones would also bring tea leaves and teacups.

So no one doubted this action.

She also wore a full set of ruby ​​headpieces, and a pair of translucent, fine-textured Hetian white jade bracelets on her snow-white wrists. Just looking at this bright and flamboyant outfit, she didn't look like someone intent on worshipping Buddha.

Zhiyuan cautiously reminded:

"My dear, I dare to ask you if it is inappropriate for you to go to the Buddha worship dressed like this today?"

"I have no other intentions. I'm just afraid that I'll be too ostentatious. What if the Buddha blames me..."

Shen Ningzhu pursed her lips and smiled.

"It's okay, let it be."

She didn't really go to worship Buddha, she just went there to light an egg symbolically. How can she be blamed for not going before the Buddha?

After everything was packed, they walked towards the gate of the mansion, with Liu Zhiyi walking beside them, holding a box full of clothes, dresses and jewelry.

Soon, the two arrived at the gate of the mansion, and sure enough, a carriage was already waiting there.

When the driver saw someone coming, he bowed respectfully and put the footstool in place. Shen Ningzhu stepped on it herself, and just as she lifted the curtain, she froze in place.

Seeing that she hadn't made any movement for a long time, the person inside became impatient and frowned.

"Aren't you coming in yet?"

The man looked over with a cold gaze and a strong tone.

Lying on the grass——

Why is this plague god here? What is he doing here? Is he planning to accompany her to worship Buddha? What a psycho! Doesn't he not believe in ghosts and gods?

Chen Ningzhu's heart suddenly felt as if someone had poured a basin of cold water over her head, and it felt cold.

The original plan was disrupted in an instant.

But we have come to this point and can only continue.

With the prince present, Liu Zhiyi could not ride in the carriage. She could only put the boxes in the carriage and walk beside it. Fortunately, the temperature was not too high at this hour, so she did not have to suffer too much while walking.

After Shen Ningzhu sat firmly, the carriage slowly began to move.

Halfway through the walk, Shen Ningzhu slightly lifted the car curtain and looked at Liu Zhiyi outside.

The other party understood immediately and suddenly bent down as planned, covered his stomach, and whispered "ouch".

Shen Ningzhu quickly called out to the driver to stop.

"Xiaoyi, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Zhiyi's face wrinkled into a ball, as if she was trying to suppress the discomfort in her body. "My lady, I suddenly have a stomachache."

"how so?"

"My dear, I may have had an upset stomach from something I ate this morning. But don't worry, there seems to be a clinic just up the road. I can go there and ask the doctor to take a look. I'm afraid it will take time."

Chen Ningzhu hurriedly said that it was okay and asked her to see a doctor first.

Liu Zhiyi was a little worried, "But..."

"It's okay. I have His Highness here with me. What are you worried about? Go quickly. After you've taken a look and got some medicine, you can go back to the Prince's Mansion to rest."

Liu Zhiyi nodded and walked towards the pharmacy, holding her stomach.

The carriage started slowly again, and Shen Ningzhu sat back down, no longer looking out the window, ready to close her eyes and take a nap.

But she accidentally met Jiang Xuanyan's scrutinizing gaze.

Shen Ningzhu was startled and sat up straight unconsciously, "Your Highness...Why is Your Highness looking at me like this?"

Jiang Xuanyan's cold eyes seemed to be smiling.

"Your maid is not feeling well, why don't you go and see her?" Is it necessary to go to Putuo Temple today? Before, she wanted to fight him to the death for that maid and cried so ugly.

Today he even ignored that maid.

Oh, he wanted to see what was so attractive about Putuo Temple that made her so reckless.

Chen Ningzhu chuckled twice.

"Well, you heard it too. She just had an upset stomach, nothing serious. Besides, Your Highness is about to leave, and I am really worried. I just want to get a peace amulet for Your Highness as soon as possible. Only with the Buddha's protection can I rest assured."

Jiang Xuanyan looked straight at her.

After a long time, he smiled meaningfully.

"I never thought Zhuzhu would be so infatuated with me."

Chen Ningzhu quickly said with a flattering smile, "That's right, that's right. My feelings for Your Highness are evident to all. As long as it's for Your Highness, I'm willing to do anything."

Tsk——

Listen to how touching these words are. She couldn't tell what the damn man was thinking. After all, he always had that dead face.

Anyway, she was quite touched.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped at the foot of a mountain. The driver whispered, "Your Highness, we have arrived at the foot of Putuo Temple."

Chen Ningzhu exhaled deeply and thought, we've finally arrived.

She had been living with an iceberg all the way and was freezing even without an ice basin. Finally, she could breathe some fresh air.

So as soon as Jiang Xuanyan got off the car, he jumped down right after him. When he looked up, he saw that one of Jiang Xuanyan's arms was in the air and his handsome face was ashen.

The driver next to him was so frightened that he dared not breathe. He lowered his head and pretended that he saw nothing.

Shen Ningzhu blinked.

Is he... planning to help her out of the carriage?

God knows, she really didn't see it, nor did she expect him to be so gentlemanly. After all, he was a well-known high-class flower that no strangers could approach.

What to do now?

This is so awkward. Should I say something to ease the tension?

Before she could think about it, the other party had already withdrawn his hand and walked ahead without looking back.

Chen Ningzhu hurried forward to catch up, but unexpectedly the other party suddenly stopped, turned around and smiled maliciously.

"Didn't Zhuzhu ask for an amulet for me?"

Shen Ningzhu looked puzzled, “Ah…yes, that’s right.”

The other party pursed his lips and said, "In that case, look, there they are all asking for amulets, why don't you go join them?"
