Chapter 287 Go to Jing'an Temple to burn incense and pray
New Year's Day.
Before dawn, Sheng Yunshao and Princess Anran were sitting in the front hall, dressed in festive robes and with happy faces.
In the bedroom, Xiao Chengjin, who had gotten up early and washed up, sat by the bed and called softly, "Ruoruo, get up."
Jiang Ruo just woke up and just wanted to stay in bed.
She stretched and murmured softly, "I'm so sleepy. I want to sleep a little longer."
Xiao Chengjin gently stroked her cheek and said, "You can go to bed early tonight."
"By the way, my aunt and father-in-law are waiting in the front hall!"
Jiang Ruo sat up after hearing this and said, "Hey, I don't know if there will be any New Year's money."
"Go get my purple suit. We're going to be all purple this year."
After hearing this, Xiao Chengjin couldn't help laughing, "There will be New Year's money, and we will also be very popular."
As he said this, he stood up and went to the side room and handed the purple robe to Jiang Ruo.
Jiang Ruo put on her robe, washed up, and sat in front of the bronze mirror to apply some skin care products and lip balm.
Seeing this, Xiao Chengjin picked up a comb and combed Jiang Ruo's hair into an exquisite bun, and selected a pair of white jade hairpins to insert into the bun.
Jiang Ruo looked at the handsome face in the bronze mirror and curled her red lips.
She stood up, put her arms around Xiao Chengjin's neck, and said with a smile, "Thank you, my husband."
Xiao Chengjin looked at the charming face in front of him, his Adam's apple rolled, and he couldn't help but kiss those red lips.
"Hmm..."
Jiang Ruo: I just put on lipstick...
At this moment, Xiao Chengjin had already forgotten about wishing his elders a happy new year.
A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Chengjin was kicked out of the bedroom by Jiang Ruo.
Jiang Ruo sat back in front of the dressing table and reapplied her lipstick.
.......
In the front hall.
Sheng Yunshao was thinking about it, and since he had nothing to do today, he suggested, "Ruoxin, let's go to Jing'an Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings today!
Princess Anran nodded and said, "Okay, that's exactly what I meant."
"By the way, I have to attend a palace banquet tonight..."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Yunshao said, "Let's come back early in the afternoon. I'll accompany you to the palace banquet tonight."
"good!"
The sound of firecrackers rang out outside, and Jiang Ruo and Xiao Chengjin entered the front hall.
After they stood in front of Sheng Yunshao and the others, they bowed and said, "Aunt, Dad, and Father-in-law, Happy New Year."
"I wish you good health and a sweet life."
Princess An Ran and Sheng Yunshao simultaneously took out two red purses and said with a smile, "Good children, get up now!"
"This is your New Year's money."
Jiang Ruo took the purse and said, "Thank you, Auntie, and thank you, Dad."
Xiao Chengjin took the purse handed over by Sheng Yunshao and the others and stuffed it into Jiang Ruo's hands, "Ruoruo, all of this is for you."
Jiang Ruo took the two purses and smiled.
After breakfast, Princess Anran said to Jiang Ruo, "Ruoruo, let's go to Jing'an Temple together to burn incense and pray for blessings!"
Jiang Ruo immediately perked up, "Great, Auntie, I was just thinking about where to go for fun!"
After packing up, they left the princess's mansion in two carriages.
When leaving the city gate, the guards saw that it was Princess Anran and let her pass directly.
When they were about to arrive at Jing'an Temple, Jiang Ruo lifted the car curtain and looked around.
Suddenly, she saw Ning Jinghuai, who was also looking out from the car curtain...
Jiang Ruo tugged at Xiao Chengjin and said in a low voice, "That's Prince Ning's carriage."
Xiao Chengjin, wearing a mask, leaned forward slightly and made a gesture to Ning Jinghuai who was looking at them.
Ning Jinghuai almost laughed out loud when he saw the two people in the carriage.
Oh my! This time, I'm definitely going to be successful in finding my match.
He pointed to Jing'an Temple in front of him and said silently: "We will meet at Jing'an Temple."
Xiao Chengjin nodded and sat back in his seat.
The Duke's wife in the carriage in front seemed to have noticed something and lifted the curtain to look around.
When she saw Jiang Ruo waving at her, she was stunned for a moment.
Ruoruo has come to the capital?
The Duke's wife looked around vigilantly, then smiled and nodded at Jiang Ruo.
Jing'an Temple is very popular, with people coming here to burn incense and pray for blessings in an endless stream.
After Princess An Ran and Sheng Yunshao got off the carriage, they nodded to Jiang Ruo and the other person behind them.
Jiang Ruo covered her face with a veil and walked into Jing'an Temple hand in hand with Xiao Chengjin.
The Duke's wife and Ning Jinghuai looked at each other, and the meaning in their eyes was self-evident.
Let’s all be careful!
After entering Jing'an Temple, some pilgrims who recognized Princess Anran came forward to greet her.
Princess Anran responded with a smile.
After offering incense with solemn expressions, several people walked to the main hall, knelt before the Buddha with their hands folded, and prayed devoutly...
There were many pilgrims, and a few of them walked towards the backyard of the temple at a distance as if nothing had happened.
Arriving at a secluded corner, the Duke's wife and her son bowed to Princess Anran and said, "Your Highness, Jing Huai and I greet Her Highness."
Princess Anran stepped forward to help, "Madam Guo and the Crown Prince, please excuse your formalities."
"I never thought I would meet you and your son today."
Upon hearing this, the Duke's wife covered her lips and chuckled, saying, "I came to the temple today to pray for a marriage for this unfilial son."
Ning Jinghuai smiled awkwardly when he heard this, "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"My son is handsome and elegant, but I'm afraid he won't be able to find a wife."
Upon hearing this, the Duke's wife rolled her eyes and muttered in dissatisfaction, "Why don't you look for it!"
When she turned her head, she noticed Sheng Yunshao beside Princess An Ran, "Is this, the Prince Consort?"
Sheng Yunshao coughed lightly and nodded.
"Your Highness, Jing Huai and I greet the Prince Consort." The mother and son bowed.
The Duke's wife was secretly delighted: It seems that seeking marriage in Jing'an Temple is very reliable.
Princess Anran glanced at the little monk who nodded to her and said to the others, "The temple is crowded with people, let's go to the meditation room to talk."
"Aunt, Ruoruo, and the Duke's wife, you guys chat first, we two will go over there." After Xiao Chengjin finished speaking, he winked at Ning Jinghuai.
Seeing this, Sheng Yunshao said, "Ruoxin, you guys chat, I'll go take a look at the back mountain."
Princess Anran nodded, "Be careful."
"Don't worry!" Sheng Yunshao walked towards the back mountain with ease.
Xiao Chengjin and Ning Jinghuai stopped after arriving at a bamboo forest.
Ning Jinghuai looked at Xiao Chengjin who had taken off his mask and asked jokingly, "Master Xiao, when do you plan to appear in the capital openly?"
Xiao Chengjin raised his eyebrows, "I'm not anxious, why are you anxious?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Jinghuai said anxiously: "This concerns my lifelong event, how can I not be anxious!"
"Why, have you confessed your feelings to Miss Chu?" Xiao Chengjin said jokingly.
Ning Jinghuai: “…”
Before I could confess my feelings...the news leaked out.
"Master, how did you know?"
Xiao Chengjin curled his lips and said loudly: "Thinking back to when I was about six years old, I was beaten and cried in the palace. It was the five-year-old Miss Chu who domineeringly 'protected her husband'..."
"Someone even cried and said that he would wait until his parents grew up to marry him and protect him."
I'm talking about you, you coward!
After hearing this, Ning Jinghuai froze in place.
He learned about these destined "fates" from his mother.
I know everything!
Alas, I am too embarrassed to see anyone!
