Chapter 77 Going up the mountain requires sincerity

"Don't worry, Princess Regent. I'm fine!" Xiao Zirui's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He would never want to see the Imperial Aunt again.

They actually said he fell too lightly!

This woman definitely did it on purpose, just to attract my attention!

He snorted coldly and waved his hand to ask the porters to speed up.

Yun Qingqing suddenly laughed and said:

"Look at all the people on this mountain. As long as they have a healthy body, why would they not walk on their own but let others carry them up?"

Qiao'er immediately covered her mouth and laughed:

"Of course not. If you don't have the sincerity to burn incense and worship Buddha, what are you praying for? How can your prayers be answered?"

"It has nothing to do with us anyway, so let's go." Yun Qingqing spread her hands and leisurely left with Qiao'er.

Xiao Zirui frowned thoughtfully, and Yun Bailian suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

"...Brother Crown Prince, let's go up quickly. It's important to get down to business."

However, Xiao Zirui looked around and suddenly said:

"She is right. All the believers who go up the mountain are walking. Since we are asking for the spiritual Buddha beads, we can't let people think that we are not sincere."

Yun Bailian's eyelids twitched:

"But you, my prince, are injured, yet you came all the way here in person. Isn't that enough sincerity?"

"Of course my sincerity is enough." Xiao Zirui said solemnly, "Bai Lian, please take the trouble to get off the sedan chair and walk up. Otherwise, if the spiritual Buddha beads think that you are not sincere and unwilling to choose a master, then our trip will be in vain."

“This…” Yun Bailian looked at the endless staircase and felt overwhelmed. “It’s just Yun Qingqing’s casual remark. How can sitting on a sedan chair be related to sincerity…”

"This is a matter of great importance. It is better to believe it than not to believe it."

Seeing that she was hesitant and unwilling to get off the sedan chair, Xiao Zirui's face darkened.

"Bai Lian, you are my most valued concubine. Don't you want to do such a small thing for me?"

Yun Bailian quickly said:

"How could that be! I'm just afraid that I'll walk too slowly and drag down my brother, the prince!"

Xiao Zirui's expression finally eased:

"It's okay. As long as we can let the Buddha see our sincerity, it's okay to go slowly. I will wait for you."

Yun Bailian knew she couldn't escape, so she had to put away her reluctance and get off the car and walk away.

She was so angry that she wanted to die!

It’s all that damn Yun Qingqing’s fault. She said just one extra word and now I have to walk up the mountain!

And the prince was too much. He was still sitting on a sedan chair, but he was willing to let himself suffer this kind of hardship!

She looked up at the backs of Yun Qingqing and her servant not far away, gritting her teeth.

Humph, I'm not the only one who has to climb 1,600 steps. That loser has to climb the same steps! Let's see if she's exhausted!

It would be better for her to fall off the mountain to get rid of her hatred!

Yun Bailian was used to a life of luxury on a daily basis, so after climbing only two or three hundred steps, she began to pant and walked slower and slower.

However, Yun Qingqing in front seemed to be unaffected at all and kept walking at the same speed. She was getting farther and farther away and was finally lost in the crowd of people going up the mountain.

Xiao Zirui slowed down his pace at first and waited patiently for Yun Bailian to catch up.

But at the same time, he was also staring at Yun Qingqing's back.

That woman had such an elegant temperament even from behind, how come he hadn't noticed it before?

When she disappeared, Xiao Zirui suddenly felt annoyed and began to urge Yun Bailian to hurry up.

Yun Bailian was sweating and panting. She no longer had the strength to speak, so she could only lift her legs desperately to keep up.

Xiao Zirui frowned even more tightly when he saw her miserable appearance.

This is completely different from Yun Qingqing. If it weren't for the fact that she is a Tianfeng...

However, when he thought about having Tian Feng's help and that he could gather his luck by getting the Lingfo Pearl and completely overwhelm the Regent, he felt much better.

Near noon.

Yun Qingqing and Qiao'er came to a platform halfway up the mountain. There were many small shops nearby for pilgrims to rest. Yun Qingqing chose one and sat down.

"It's still early, eat something and save up enough energy before leaving."

She asked for some tea and water to fill her stomach.

Qiao Er sat down, took out her handkerchief and fanned herself, sighing:

"Miss, when did you get so strong? You climbed so high without breaking a sweat! Even I can hardly keep up with you."

Qiao'er grew up in a poor family and had to do a lot of rough and tiring work. It was not until the first few years after she moved to the Yun Mansion that her condition improved a lot. She is still very confident in her physical strength.

I didn't expect that I couldn't climb the mountain better than my own lady.

Yun Qingqing smiled calmly without further explanation.

After having some tea and resting for a while, they prepared to continue climbing the mountain.

However, just as she stood up to leave, Yun Qingqing's eyes suddenly fell on a wealthy woman at the next table, and a light suddenly flashed in her eyes.

She frowned and walked straight over.

"Madam, may I ask, are you here to pray for a child?"

The woman turned to look at her, her expression changing slightly.
