Chapter 41: Crown Princess, Please Do Me a Favor
As for Chen Wenjian, this man always pretends to be innocent, which makes Luo Li dizzy.
Qi Qingyao didn't seem to expect things to develop like this, and was a little at a loss for a moment, "Luo Li is not usually like this, I don't know what happened today, sister-in-law, don't be angry."
Lu Wanning shook her head, "I'm not angry."
Knowing that Qi Qingyao was still a little worried, she just smiled and said, "Your Highness, there's really no need to worry. I'm not familiar with Miss Luo Li. Although I don't know why she's hostile to me, I won't hold a grudge against her for just a few words."
"I heard that wishes made in Baoji Temple are very effective. Let's go in quickly."
Speaking of making a wish, Qi Qingyao nodded immediately, and the two walked into the temple.
This was not Lu Wanning's first time coming to this place.
When people are helpless and down and out, they always think of praying to God and Buddha, and she is no exception.
When the unexpected change happened at home, Lu Wanning couldn't accept it. She knelt in all the temples in Zhen'an, no matter how big or small, famous or unknown, hoping that the heaven would open its eyes, the gods would have mercy, and bless her to find the thief who killed her parents as soon as possible.
Bring them to justice.
However, as the days passed, Lu Wanning gradually realized that the only thing that the gods and Buddhas could bless was her helpless heart.
But she couldn't send the thief to her, she had to stand up on her own.
But Lu Wanning was still pious when she knelt down.
Qi Qingyao prayed for her father, hoping that he would get better soon.
When he stood up, he saw Lu Wanning already waiting outside the door. He walked over to her curiously and asked, "What wish did sister-in-law make? It came true so quickly."
"If you speak your wishes out loud, they won't come true."
Lu Wanning did not make a wish. Reincarnation was too mysterious. Perhaps it was really the gods and Buddhas she worshipped in her previous life who helped her and gave her this opportunity to start over.
So much so that she just said thank you.
As for the rest, she can do it herself.
When the two men came out of the temple, they ran into Chen Wenjian and the other man again.
Judging from the expressions between the two, Luo Li seems to be the one in the emotional position.
Lu Wanning sneered in her heart and couldn't help but glance at the hypocritical Chen Wenjian.
He is really capable, even the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion is willing to humble herself for him.
As they passed each other, Luo Li suddenly stopped and turned to look at Lu Wanning, "Tomorrow is my birthday, Princess, please do me a favor."
Lu Wanning pursed her lips. If it weren't for what happened today, she might still be willing to go, but after what happened today, she would definitely be inconvenienced if she went tomorrow, so she simply refused. "I have something to do tomorrow, so I'm afraid I won't be able to go and congratulate you."
Luo Li chuckled, a smile flashing in her eyes, "Is there something going on, or is the Crown Princess worried about what I might do to you and so doesn't dare to go?"
"Luo Li!" Qi Qingyao frowned, and this time she was really angry. "What are you talking about?"
"Don't be upset, Your Highness. I was just joking with the Crown Princess."
Qi Qingyao's face still looked unhappy. Although she and Luo Li were friends, she could not tolerate her insulting her sister-in-law again and again.
Qi Qingyao usually seemed easy to get along with, but when she got angry, she was quite imposing. "I don't care what you think, or why you are so hostile to my sister-in-law, but if I hear you say this again, we will no longer be friends."
Luo Li finally restrained herself a little, but Lu Wanning's appearance made Qi Qingyao her own, which naturally made her feel extremely uncomfortable. As a result, the grudge between her and Lu Wanning was completely formed.
What is there to be afraid of as the princess consort of a sickly prince?
When Prince Qi dies, we will see how arrogant she can still be.
Luo Li thought so and reluctantly apologized to Qi Qingyao, "It's Luo Li's fault."
She apologized, but Qi Qingyao's expression didn't improve. With a stern face, she took Lu Wanning's hand and walked directly between the two of them.
Even as they walked away, the little princess was still a little angry. Lu Wanning, on the other hand, was completely calm and composed. Qi Qingyao pouted and asked, "Why does my sister-in-law look not angry at all?"
"With His Highness protecting me like this, what is there to be angry about?"
This sentence made Qi Qingyao glare at her, "How come sister-in-law is even more slick-talking than brother Mu Chao?"
"How could I?" Lu Wanning felt very wronged when these words were used on herself.
The two of them walked down the mountain laughing and joking. When they passed Yueshi Mountain, Qi Qingyao lifted the curtain and looked out. "I heard from the imperial aunt that my sister-in-law saved her here."
Qi Qingyao was a little worried about Lu Wanning's image before, afraid that she wouldn't be able to play with her.
But after hearing Princess Qi talk about the scene on Yueshi Mountain where Lu Wanning asked her to climb a tree while she fought with a wolf under the tree, Qi Qingyao had a very good impression of her sister-in-law.
Later, when I met Lu Wanning and saw her appearance, I liked her even more.
She peeked up the mountain and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you want to come down and take a walk?"
Lu Wanning glanced at the bushes on the mountain and shook her head. "This place used to be plagued by bandits. Although the previous bandits on Yueshi Mountain had been eliminated by Qi Muchao, this kind of environment is prone to hiding bandits. Let's forget it."
Seeing Qi Qingyao feeling a little disappointed, Lu Wanning said, "If the princess wants to go sightseeing, there will be a temple fair in Zhen'an in a few days. I can go with her."
"Zhen'an, is it my sister-in-law's home?"
"Yes." Lu Wanning's expression softened when she mentioned Zhen'an. "It's where I grew up."
"Is there anything fun in Zhen'an?"
Lu Wanning didn’t know what was fun for the little princess, but to her, Zhen’an was like a pure land where she could feel peaceful.
No matter when, as long as I return to Zhen'an, my heart will be at peace.
"There is a river. It's summer now. When I was in Zhen'an, I would lead the children in the village to the river to fish. There were watermelons grown in the village. We picked them and threw them into the river. When we had enough fun, we would fish them out, crack them open, and share them."
Qi Qingyao listened very carefully and with great interest. "That sounds very interesting. It's different in the palace. There are always people controlling everything you do. It's not interesting at all."
Lu Wanning laughed. This little girl didn't look like someone who could be controlled.
She told Qi Qingyao about her childhood. They were chatting excitedly when the carriage bumped slightly and Hu Yan's voice was heard outside.
"Princess and Crown Princess, please sit tight. Something seems to be wrong. Let's get out of here quickly."
Lu Wanning immediately thought of the group of bandits who were here last time.
Could it be that Qi Muchao failed to wipe out all the bandits, leaving behind some trouble?
But it was meaningless to think about this at this time. Seeing that Qi Qingyao was a little scared, he pulled her inside and said, "Don't be afraid, Your Highness. General Xiao Song is outside. Nothing will happen."
