Chapter 237 Remember to Protect Yourself
As soon as Fu Anran said this, the maids who followed her knelt on the ground one after another, "Miss."
Fu Anran said, "You don't have to persuade me anymore. Go back and tell my parents that I don't want to be Zhao Jing's concubine! I have become a Taoist nun."
Fu Anran entered the Taoist temple without waiting for Taoist Qingxuan's consent.
Gu Yan said to Taoist Qing Xuan: "She is the second granddaughter of Master Fu Di's family, and also the cousin of Shi An's current wife. Let her stay in your Taoist temple for a few days. Please take good care of her."
Taoist Qingxuan nodded and said, "Okay."
Yun Xiangye and Gu Yan entered the Taoist temple and knelt down in front of the statue to pray for blessings.
Taoist Qingxuan wrote two amulets with cinnabar and handed them to Gu Yan and Yun Xiangye. "I hope these amulets can keep you both healthy."
Yun Xiangye took it and said, "Thank you, Taoist Priest."
After Gu Yan put on the amulet, he played chess with Taoist Qingxuan.
Yun Xiangye was also watching the two of them playing chess. After returning from the palace, he lost his way and entered a backyard where incense was burning and listened to someone playing the guqin.
The sound of the guqin is melodious and graceful.
As soon as Yun Xiangye entered, she saw a beautiful Taoist nun, who looked to be around thirty or forty years old. Although she showed signs of aging, it did not conceal her beauty at all.
"donor."
Yun Xiangye heard the female Taoist priest calling her and hurriedly said, "Taoist priest."
Qingyue smiled faintly and looked at Yunxiangye and asked, "Why are you here, benefactor?"
Yun Xiangye said, "I came here with my husband. I just changed my clothes and couldn't find the way to the Taoist temple ahead."
Qingyue said: "I'll take you there."
Yun Xiangye looked at Qingyue's appearance and found that she was somewhat similar to Taoist Qingxuan.
Qingyue took Yunxiangye to the Taoist temple and said, "Just walk a little further and you will reach the Taoist temple."
Yun Xiangye said: "Thank you, Taoist Priest."
After entering the Taoist temple, Yun Xiangye saw that Gu Yan and Taoist Qingxuan had already finished a game of chess. Fearing that it would be too late to go down the mountain, the two said goodbye.
The way down the mountain was difficult to walk, and halfway down, Yun Xiangye let Gu Yan carry her on his back, "Just now I saw a beautiful female Taoist priest in the back mountain. Is she Qingxuan's mother?"
Gu Yan nodded and said, "Yes, the reason why Qilin Temple was so effective in praying for children was because many wives who were unable to have children would ask the nuns in the Taoist temple to give birth to children as their own."
"ah?"
Yun Xiangye couldn't help but feel disgusted when she heard this, "How could this be? Where will Fu Anran become a Taoist nun..."
Gu Yan said: "That happened about ten or twenty years ago. My father discovered it and banned it a long time ago. Now the Taoist temple doesn't do this anymore."
Yun Xiangye asked curiously, "Since my wife can't give birth, I can take a concubine. Why do I have to let a nun in the Taoist temple give birth to a child? Isn't it pitiful that the child can't see his mother?"
Gu Yan said: "At first, someone wanted to use this to control the descendants of some officials in the court, but fortunately, this was banned long ago."
Yun Xiangye said: "So, Qingxuan's biological father is also an official appointed by the imperial court? He is so handsome, so his biological father should be good-looking too."
Gu Yan said: "Qingxuan's mother never told him who his biological father was. At the beginning, my father and his family felt sorry for her and did not pursue the matter. They just let her and her son live in the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain."
Yun Xiangye still felt sick as she listened to Gu Yan talking about this. Waves of nausea surged into her heart. She didn't know whether she felt sick hearing these nuns giving birth to children for others, or whether she was pregnant?
If you get pregnant at this time, it would be really unfortunate.
After Gu Yan and Yun Xiangye returned to Qingfeng Garden, Gu Yan was called to the study by Gu Ling.
Yun Xiangye fell asleep in Qingfeng Garden. When she woke up, it was already dark and Gu Yan had not returned yet.
Yun Xiangye saw that Nuonuo could already write the word "Yun Ran" very well. She was very surprised and held little Nuonuo in her arms and kissed her little face, "Nuonuo is really amazing."
Nuonuo also kissed Yun Xiangye's face, "Mom, you smell so good."
Yun Xiangye chuckled softly, and there was a warm atmosphere between her and Nuonuo.
Gu Yan did not return until late at night. Yun Xiangye saw him and said, "You must be tired from climbing the mountain today. Why did you stay out for so long?"
Gu Yan said, "Duke Wei was in trouble, so my parents and I went to visit Uncle Wei. I wanted to ask you to go with us, but I gave up when I saw you were asleep."
"How could something happen to the Duke of Wei?" Yun Xiangye asked, "By the way, you said Zhao Jing had changed his mind, but the Duke of Wei is his father-in-law, will he also help Zhao Jing..."
Gu Yan said, "I don't know. After we went there, Uncle Wei was in a very bad mood. The wife of Duke Wei was very strict and did not allow my mother to go in and check Duke Wei's pulse. We only knew that he was seriously ill, but we didn't know anything else. However, I think Wei Qian really wanted to support Zhao Jing."
Upon hearing this, Yun Xiangye couldn't help but feel worried again, "Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, Fu Family, and now if the Wei Family is added...If Zhao Jing really wants to cause trouble, Chang'an City will definitely be uneasy."
Gu Yan said: "But Your Highness is just pretending to be sick now, don't worry too much."
Yun Xiangye sighed and said, "Gu Yan, the last time you saw Zhao Jing, he looked at you with hatred. You must remember to protect yourself."
Gu Yan said: "Well, I am more worried about you now. Zhao Jing's feelings for you are not just about true love for you. He is also unwilling to be taken away by me. You'd better stay at home these days, and be careful of Zhao Jing."
Yun Xiangye said: "Well, then I won't go out. If I really have to leave the Princess's Mansion, I will wait for you to come back and go out with me."
Yun Xiangye also knew that now was not the time to cause trouble for Gu Yan.
However, even though Yun Xiangye had not left the house for the past few days, he had heard from his maid that things were not peaceful outside recently and many officials had written to impeach Prince Ning.
Prince Ning served in the court for more than twenty years and was upright and incorruptible. In particular, he brought countless corrupt officials to justice and offended many officials.
This time, His Highness was seriously ill and dying, and His Majesty was heartbroken and haggard. If the little grandson ascended the throne in the future, Prince Ning would surely hold all the power. Therefore, many officials were persuaded by the Fu family to compete for the merit of following the emperor.
These past few days, Gu Yan came back later and later, so Yun Xiangye could only prepare food for Gu Yan at home.
The Dragon Boat Festival is approaching. This afternoon, the Princess of Chu came to the Princess's Mansion to wrap meat dumplings and make sachets.
When Yun Xiangye saw the meat dumplings, she remembered that the Princess of Chu was also from Yongxing City. In the past few days, Yun Xiangye also learned some stories about the Princess of Chu from Yinliu.
She was a pitiful person when she was young. She was the daughter of Xu's family in Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, but she was lost when she was young. When her life was finally getting better, her husband was taken away by her own sister.
Later, after going through a lot of things, she finally became the Princess of Chu as a second bride.
Yun Xiangye saw the Princess of Chu's appearance and felt that she seemed to be completely unaware of the important events in the court in the past few days.
Yun Xiangye saw Gu Jingyu teaching Nuonuo how to select spices while she was embroidering sachets nearby.
Princess Chu walked up to Yun Xiangye and said, "Your embroidery skills are still as skillful as ever. Your embroidery skills are among the best in the palace."
Yun Xiangye smiled faintly at the Princess of Chu. Seeing her gentle smile, she thought that she didn't know what her good son had done.
When Zhao Jing made such a big mistake, didn't he ever think about his mother?
