Hearing the dry cough from the person outside the veil, Jiang Qingqing curled her lips and sneered.

After a while, the carriage team lined up outside the capital and headed towards Guangming Temple in the east.

Guangming Temple was quite famous in the capital of Tianqi, and people in the palace loved to come to Guangming Temple to pray.

Over time, Guangming Temple became a royal temple, and some ladies from noble families also loved to come here to pray and worship Buddha.

The convoy arrived at the foot of the mountain in great fanfare. Because the hillside halfway up the mountain was only accessible by stone steps, everyone got off the carriages one after another.

Jiang Qingqing held a round fan in her hand, lifted the carriage curtain, and was about to look for Gan Yuan when suddenly a hand appeared in front of her.

Her fingers were quite slender. She looked up from her wrist and saw Chi Dao looking at her with an expression pretending to be calm.

"Let me help Your Highness get off the carriage." Chi Dao saw that Jiang Qingqing's attention was on his face, and at this moment he raised his smile, which he thought was handsome, and looked at her.

Chi Dao's appearance was considered good compared to other children from aristocratic families. At least he was handsome.

but……

Jiang Qingqing was used to Xiao Linting's upright and awe-inspiring demeanor, and she simply looked down on this handsome and muddle-headed young man from aristocratic family.

She calmly ignored Chi Dao's tentative intention, put her hand on Gan Yuan's palm, and walked down from the carriage easily.

Chi Dao felt his palm fall empty, his expression changed for a moment, but he quickly put his hand away calmly and looked at Jiang Qingqing with a fake smile.

As soon as she stood firmly on the ground, she looked up and saw Nafu standing on the steps.

"Nafu?" She was a little surprised, and hurried to the stairs, standing on the same step with Nafu, and asked in confusion.

I don’t know how long Nafu stood on the steps waiting.

Nafu glanced at Chi Dao, who looked confused beside the carriage, then turned around, looked at Jiang Qingqing with a kind smile, bowed and said, "Your Highness, long time no see."

Over the past five years, Nafu had indeed seldom appeared in front of her. Occasionally, during festivals, when the royal family would give Xiao Linting rewards, Jiang Qingqing would use the opportunity to deliver the rewards to Nafu to chat and ask about Xiao Linting's progress at the border.

Jiang Qingqing was a little surprised that he would take the initiative to find her, and she also felt uneasy.

"Is it... any bad news?" If nothing happened, it would be fine if he didn't visit. But if something really happened, he would definitely visit.

Nafu shook his head and quickly calmed Jiang Qingqing's anxiety.

"No, no, the prince is doing well at the border. It was the prince's letter that received news about His Highness. The prince looked it up and thought that this news might be useful to His Highness."

As he spoke, he took out a toilet paper tube from his sleeve.

Jiang Qingqing took the thing handed to her by Nafu with doubt and was about to open it when Nafu stopped her.

"Your Highness! It's better to read this letter in private. It's not convenient outside." Nafu looked at Jiang Qingqing with a complicated expression.

The latter put away the letter with understanding.

"The letter has been delivered personally to Your Highness. I will take my leave now." Nafu was talking to himself the whole time. He watched Jiang Qingqing pack up her things, then nodded to indicate that he was leaving.

But when Nafu was going down the stairs, he carefully glanced at Chi Dao who was standing at the bottom of the stairs.

Jiang Qingqing didn't notice anything unusual about Nafu. She was only thinking about the contents of the envelope.

The emperor's uncle would never pass an original letter to her, which means the content of the letter is really huge.

She asked Gan Lin to tell the children of the noble families below that they could climb the mountain to Guangming Temple.

She followed Gan Yuan to Guangming Temple alone.

Standing at the gate of Guangming Temple were an abbot and the young monks in the temple.

They lined up in a row, waiting devoutly for Jiang Qingqing's arrival.

It can be seen how much Princess Dunming of Tianqi was loved in Kyoto.

You know, the abbot and the monks of Guangming Temple are usually only respectful to Emperor Qing. Unless Emperor Qing personally instructs them to do something, they will not make such a big fuss and wait quietly for a princess to arrive.

As the children of noble families climbed up the platform one by one, some of them looked more or less uncomfortable.

The mountainside was not easy to climb, and Jiang Qingqing kept going up without stopping. These pampered young ladies and gentlemen from wealthy families dared not delay and chased after her.

Jiang Qingqing has paid special attention to her health in the past five years. In addition to personally overseeing the business in Qi Town, she also takes time out every day to jog and exercise.

Therefore, she walked to the platform without changing her expression, raised a proper smile to the abbots, and expressed her gratitude.

The abbot in charge waved his hand and said kindly, "Donors, please worship the Buddha first."

"Your Highness, are you going to rest first or worship Buddha first?" A little girl's voice came over.

Jiang Qingqing subconsciously turned her head and saw a little girl who looked about her age, with a pair of big round eyes, blinking at her.

Jiang Qingqing knew this person. She was a young lady from a wealthy family whom she had just met a few days ago. Her surname was Hong and her name was Hongyan.

"Miss Hongda," she first called Hongyan's name, then pointed to the Buddhist temple in the main hall not far away and smiled, "Let's go worship the Buddha first."

Hong Yan nodded in understanding. She pulled Jiang Qingqing's sleeve in a familiar manner and pointed in the direction behind her.

This is the direction where Princess Qi Yang is.

Five years have passed, and Princess Qi Yang has found a partner to marry during these five years. It is said that the family is from a famous and wealthy family in her father's fiefdom. However, the fiefdom is far away in Kyoto, so the marriage between the two heads of the family is only in name.

Princess Qi Yang had always used the excuse that Jiang Qing Qing needed company in the capital, and had not returned to her fiefdom to see her fiancé.

As she was of marriageable age and a popular figure around Princess Dunming, she was also very popular in the capital.

Today, when Princess Qi Yang went out for a visit to Guangming Temple, several young men from aristocratic families came to her side, vying to invite Princess Qi Yang to go for a stroll.

Hong Yan looked at Princess Qi Yang's dilemma and whispered, "It looks like the Princess is in a bit of trouble."

Jiang Qingqing looked at Princess Qi Yang in a helpless manner. The latter noticed her gaze and immediately signaled Jiang Qingqing to save her.

She turned around and walked to Princess Qiyang, and said loudly, "Everyone, I'm sorry to bother you. I have to go to worship Buddha with my sister. We can talk again when we have time, okay?"

He spoke to the point and didn't embarrass anyone, so everyone nodded in agreement.

Jiang Qingqing held Princess Qi Yang's arm affectionately and strode into Guangming Temple, with Hong Yan following beside her as she chased after them.

The temple was much quieter, and the smell of burning incense was everywhere.

The three of them walked side by side. Hongyan was a real little girl and she was not very interested in these temples.
