The next morning, Ning Xihua, Song Yi and a group of attendants stood at the gate of Lingshan Temple.

Lingshan Temple is located in the southern suburbs of Beijing, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with a quiet environment.

It is said that a hundred years ago, a high monk was enlightened by the Buddha and became a golden body. People believed that there was a spirit there, so they named the mountain Lingshan, the stream on the mountain Lingshui, and built a temple here.

After the Li Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu offered incense to the ancestors here, and the royal family followed suit. In addition to the royal family, many wealthy and noble people also offered incense here, and Lingshan Temple became increasingly popular.

Under the guidance of the little nun, Ning Xihua worshipped her original mother in the incense hall, donated incense money, and continued the incense offerings.

Her original mother's name was Gu Yue, and she was also a remarkable woman. According to the old lady, her features were almost identical to her mother's, but her personality was not the same at all.

Although Gu Yue was not a lady from a famous family, the Gu family could be considered a family of scholars.

Gu's father was a great scholar at Yizhou Academy. By chance, he saved the life of King Ning. In order to repay him for saving his life, King Ning promised a marriage for their children.

After Gu's father passed away, Gu Yue came to the palace to cancel the engagement. The old lady flatly refused, saying that there would never be a ungrateful and dishonest person in the Ning family.

She noticed that Yue had decent behavior, clear eyes, and outstanding appearance, and that she was not the type to curry favor with others, so she arranged for her son Ning Yan to marry her.

The two lived in harmony after their marriage. When Ning Yan inherited the throne, Gu Yue became the only prince's wife who was not from a prominent family.

But the whole capital praised the Ning Wangfei for her beauty, dignified manners, and virtuous housekeeping. In addition, the Ning Wang never took a concubine, and the couple's reputation for deep love was widely spread.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. Gu Yue had always been in poor health, and she was bedridden after giving birth to Ning Xihua. Ning Yan sought out famous doctors, but Gu Yue still passed away when Ning Xihua was three years old.

Ning Yan never remarried after that and just lived with Ning Xihua.

Ning Xihua felt a little sad when she thought of this. Although Gu Yue died young, she had always lived a happy life. On the contrary, the old man was so loyal that he must have suffered a lot from missing her over the years.

Oh, forget it. She decided to argue less with the old man when she returned.

After the worship, Ning Xihua prepared to visit Master Hui Ku. However, the young nun who led the way said that Master Hui Ku was entertaining guests, so she led her to a courtyard and asked her to sit for a while.

Ning Xihua was studying the varieties of yellow flowers in front of her with her hands behind her back, when she heard someone calling her from behind.

"Sister Ning, long time no see."

Ning Xihua turned around and saw that the real culprit had come.

The girl who called her was wearing a white dress, with no other decorations on her hair except for the white flowers on her temples. She had a heart-shaped face, affectionate eyes, a pink cherry-like mouth, a pair of willow-shaped eyebrows that seemed to be neither frowned nor frowned, and sparkling eyes, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

As soon as Ning Xihua saw the girl's white flower outfit and her pitiful demeanor, she knew that the person in front of her was the heroine of the original book, Lin Mengli.

It's true that enemies meet in a narrow road. I meet the heroine the first time I go out.

Lin Mengli saw Ning Xihua turn around and bowed to her leisurely.

As she bent down, she was still wondering why Ning Xihua didn't mock her and make things difficult for her as she did three years ago. After she stood up, she looked at Ning Xihua with her beautiful eyes and was stunned for a moment.

It’s no wonder that Lin Mengli was surprised. Ning Xihua had changed so much in three years.

When he left Beijing, he was still a child, his facial features had not yet fully developed, and his arrogant personality made it easy for people to overlook his appearance and only remember his stubbornness and willfulness.

Ning Xihua's cheeks are now less chubby and her features are more delicate. Her small oval face has a high nose bridge and a pair of plump, charming red lips, which add a touch of brilliance to her face.

But she happened to be born with a pair of almond-shaped eyes, with extremely bright and black pupils, which suppressed the brilliant color and made her whole face change from delicate and charming to bright and majestic.

Ning Xihua has grown a lot taller in the past few years. As she grows older, her figure has revealed the curves of a girl, and she is more graceful and slender. Now, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is extremely beautiful and has a beauty that can captivate the whole city.

In addition, her attitude was cold, as if she didn't care about anything and nothing caught her eye. This gave her a lazy and casual temperament, making her completely different from the noisy Ning Xihua three years ago.

Lin Mengli didn't expect Ning Xihua to change so much. She was shocked and secretly became more cautious.

If Su Xu saw such a beauty, would he still be extremely annoyed with her and ignore her as before?

When Lin Mengli secretly looked at Ning Xihua, Ning Xihua was also looking at Lin Mengli. If she knew that Lin Mengli commented that she had a lazy and casual temperament, she would definitely roll her eyes and tell her that it was called salted fish temperament.

But Lin Mengli is different. She really looks like a standard white lotus. Maybe her appearance is not stunning enough, but she has a delicate appearance, a gentle temperament, and a simple and kind personality, which can easily arouse a man's desire to protect and conquer her.

But is Lin Mengli really a simple Marie Sue?

Ning Xihua lowered her eyes, and she recalled the memories in her mind that did not match the plot of the original book.

In the original book, three years after the emperor granted the marriage, the prince died of illness. With the support of Prince Ning, the male protagonist Su Xu was made the prince within a year, and the original self rose to become the future princess.

But as soon as Su Xu was appointed crown prince, he ignored his original body's objection and insisted on taking Lin Mengli as his concubine and chose to get married on the same day.

The original person was filled with resentment and threatened to commit suicide.

But Su Xu hated the original body so much that he ignored her. The original body was so desperate because of Su Xu's despair that he made the fake thing come true. He couldn't think straight for a while and really committed suicide by taking poison.

Yes, the book says that the original person committed suicide.

But if this is really the case, Ning Xihua can rest assured. As long as she survives, she will never be so motivated to return to Beijing.

But on the first night after Ning Xihua traveled through the book, she had a very long dream, and the plot of this dream was very different from the original book that Ning Xihua had read.

"… are you?"

"How naive..."

"What military power?..."

"So what if you are a princess? You are still under my feet..."

The dream was full of chaotic lights and shadows, and it seemed as if tears were falling from the corners of her eyes, causing everything she saw to appear distorted.

She seemed to see a huge oriental pearl shining brightly in front of her, but it seemed to be an illusion.

But she still heard Lin Mengli's hearty laughter and saw her face distorted with pleasure.

Ning Xihua felt a chill run down her spine whenever she recalled this dream. The despair and pain of her original self in the dream were so real that she still remembers her original self's deep hatred for Lin Mengli.

Therefore, regardless of whether the dream was true or false, even if the scenes in the original book and the dream had not yet happened, Ning Xihua had no good feelings towards the heroine in front of her, and even had some instinctive resistance.

Lin Mengli is definitely not the kind and gentle little white flower described in the books. On the contrary, she is a poisonous snake grass.
