As soon as Fu Anran said this, the maids who followed her knelt on the ground, "Miss."
Fu Anran said, "You don't need to persuade me anymore. Go back and tell my parents that I will not 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 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 to pray to the statue.
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 watching the two of them playing chess. After returning from the palace, he lost his way and entered a backyard where incense was burning, listening to someone playing the guqin.
The sound of the guqin is melodious and graceful.
When Yun Xiangye entered, she saw a beautiful Taoist nun. She looked to be around thirty or forty years old. Although she had signs of aging, it did not conceal her beauty at all.
"donor."
Yun Xiangye heard the female Taoist priest calling her and hurriedly said, "Master."
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, "Sir, just walk a little further and you will reach the Taoist temple."
Yun Xiangye said, "Thank you very much, Taoist Priest."
After entering the Taoist temple, Yun Xiangye saw that Gu Yan and Taoist Qingxuan had already finished playing a game of chess. Afraid of being too late to go down the mountain, the two said goodbye.
The way down the mountain was difficult to walk. 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 their children and raise them as their own."
"ah?"
Hearing this, Yun Xiangye couldn't help but feel disgusted. "How could this be? Where would Fu Anran become a Taoist nun..."
Gu Yan said, "That was about ten or twenty years ago. My father discovered it and banned it a long time ago. We don't do this in Taoist temples anymore."
Yun Xiangye asked curiously, "Since my wife can't have children, I can take a concubine. Why 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, "Someone originally wanted to use this to control the descendants of some court officials, but fortunately, this was stopped 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 must be good-looking too."
Gu Yan said, "Qingxuan's mother never revealed who his biological father was. At the beginning, out of pity for her, my father and his family didn't pursue the matter further and 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 because she herself 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 had already written the word "Yun Ran" very well. She was filled with surprise and hugged little Nuonuo in her arms and kissed her little face, "Nuonuo is really amazing."
Nuonuo also kissed Yun Xiangye's cheek, "Mother, you smell so good."
Yun Xiangye chuckled softly, and there was a warm atmosphere between her and Nuonuo.
Gu Yan didn't 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. 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, "Oh right, you said Zhao Jing had changed his mind. But the Duke of Wei is his father-in-law. Would he also be helping Zhao Jing..."
Gu Yan said, "I don't know. After we went there, Uncle Wei was in very bad spirits. The wife of Duke Wei was very strict and wouldn't let my mother go in to 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. "The Zhenbei Marquisate, the Fu family, and now if the Wei family is added to the mix...if Zhao Jing really starts causing trouble, Chang'an City will definitely be in turmoil."
Gu Yan said: "But His 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'm actually more worried about you now. Zhao Jing's feelings for you aren't just about true love for you. He's also unwilling to let me take you away. It's best for you to stay out of the house for the next few days, and be careful of Zhao Jing."
Yun Xiangye said, "Well, then I won't go out. If I really need to leave the Princess's Mansion, I'll wait for you to come back and accompany me."
