Princess Qi Yang and Jiang Qing Qing walked straight to the main hall of the temple, first took three incense sticks from the maid, and then knelt on the cushion together.

Jiang Qingqing looked up at the tall Buddha statue in front of her, her expression calm and composed, without any sign of emotional fluctuation.

She has never had any feelings towards Buddha. She doesn't believe in him, but she doesn't reject him either, but she doesn't think he doesn't exist either.

She closed her eyes, held three incense sticks in both hands and raised them to her head. For no reason, she thought of the emperor's uncle's upright and handsome face.

"I, Jiang Qingqing, do not ask for anything else, I just hope that the emperor's uncle can return safely."

She muttered something in a low voice, kowtowed three times, then stood up and inserted the three incense sticks into the incense burner.

Princess Qi Yang had just bowed three times with her eyes closed, and because she was the person closest to Jiang Qingqing, she naturally heard these words as well.

She followed Jiang Qingqing, inserted the incense in her hand into the incense burner, and then followed Jiang Qingqing out of the temple.

"Xiao Linting is the most capable and the most promising child of the Xiao family. Even if the battlefield is ruthless, the Xiao family will fight to the death to protect him. You can rest assured."

Princess Qi Yang said with a smile pretending to be relaxed.

Jiang Qingqing glanced at her cousin. She did not respond to the question but changed the subject.

"Your fiancé has been waiting for you in the fiefdom for five years. Have you ever thought about going back to meet this mysterious fiancé?"

Princess Qiyang's expression was slightly stiff, but she quickly shifted her focus and cleared her throat. "There is a lot of wind and sand at the border. You should worry about whether your uncle's fair skin, which he has kept in Kyoto for so many years, will become dry. Then his appearance will be greatly reduced."

Jiang Qingqing twirled the round fan in her hand, "It seems that the Third Imperial Uncle's fiefdom is also near the border?"

Princess Qi Yang pouted and finally got to the point this time.

"Yes, but it's not very close to the border. Don't worry, the sandstorm is definitely not as strong as at the border."

Jiang Qingqing raised her eyebrows, looked at Princess Qi Yang with a smile without saying a word, and patted her cousin on the shoulder.

"I'm tired from the journey. I'm going to take a rest. See you at the vegetarian dinner this afternoon."

After she had a quick chat with Princess Qi Yang, they parted ways.

Jiang Qingqing had come to Guangming Temple more than once, so a room was specially reserved for her to rest. When she was about to walk into the room, Gan Yuan and Gan Lin quickly closed the door.

She took out the letter that Nafu handed her from her sleeve and unfolded it neatly.

Then I saw the flamboyant handwriting on the envelope.

"Is it a letter written by the prince!?" Gan Yuan was brave enough to take a look and was a little surprised.

Jiang Qingqing nodded and read on quickly.

On the envelope, what Xiao Linting wrote was extremely brief. It basically told her that the Xu family's activities were not pure, and the Second Prince's power was growing stronger, so Jiang Qingqing and Jiang Chen should prepare to retreat or protect themselves.

Gan Yuan listened to Jiang Qingqing's concise retelling and was stunned for a moment, "That's all?"

Jiang Qingqing nodded, and she threw the envelope in her hand into the candlestick. She watched the note burn completely before she looked away.

"Didn't the prince say anything else? For example, what happened at the border?" Gan Lin didn't expect that the letter sent by Nafu personally would contain nothing but some "news".

When they saw the note Nafu sent, they all thought that Prince Xiao might have written some personal words for the young prince to read.

Jiang Qingqing smiled.

She knew the emperor's uncle's character very well.

He would never say a word about anything that had nothing to do with him. Only when something concerned him would the uncle write down the details of the situation and how to deal with it in a safer way.

Gan Yuan and Gan Lin looked more or less disappointed, but Jiang Qingqing was the only one who opened the door in a very happy mood.

She was about to open the door and walk out when she saw Chi Dao coming towards her with a teacup in his hand.

"I didn't expect that Master Chi has this hobby. He likes to stand at the gate of the yard and eavesdrop on what others say."

Jiang Qingqing didn't look surprised to see Chi Dao coming.

She knew that the Chi family wanted to use the purpose of this trip to Guangming Temple to make Chi Dao have some connection with her.

Whether they are related or not is not the point, but the rumors have to say that they are related.

The Chi family’s thoughts should not be too obvious.

Jiang Qingqing always spoke directly, and after several exchanges, Chi Dao also understood Jiang Qingqing's character.

He did not try to hide his feelings and said frankly: "Last time in Qi Town, it was my..."

"Mr. Chi, you don't have to be interested in me. I don't like you. We should not waste each other's time. It's meaningless." Jiang Qingqing frowned and explained the matter in a calm manner.

She didn't want to have any more interaction with Chi Dao, so she turned around and was about to leave with her maid, passing by Chi Dao.

Before he completely walked out of the yard, Chi Dao turned around and said loudly: "Your Highness may look down on me, but His Majesty and the Queen think we are a good match."

As soon as these words fell, Jiang Qingqing stopped in her tracks and turned back to look at Chi Dao.

"What the Queen said is just what she thinks." Jiang Qingqing thought that Chi Dao was referring to what Queen Xu said when she summoned them.

Chi Dao saw that Jiang Qingqing didn't seem to have a deep understanding of these things, and then he laughed triumphantly. Compared to the embarrassment of being exposed and rejected just now, he now seemed a little triumphant.

"Your Highness, don't you know? His Majesty said it himself, you and I are a perfect match, let us spend some time together freely."

Chi Dao kept referring to them as His Majesty and His Highness, but Jiang Qingqing could not see any real respect.

She only saw Chi Dao's attitude of taking advantage of the power of others.

"Are you using my father's words to pressure me?" She turned and looked at Chi Dao. Her beautiful eyes gradually turned cold and she half-narrowed her eyes dangerously as she looked at him.

Chi Dao did not deny it. He looked at Jiang Qingqing calmly and raised the teacup in his hand to show respect.

Jiang Qingqing sneered, "No one can force me to do something I don't like, so Mr. Chi should take care of it yourself."

On the surface, she seemed not to take Chi Dao's words to heart, as if the person involved in the promise of a son-in-law by Emperor Qing and Empress Xu was not Jiang Qingqing, but someone else.

She turned around swiftly and walked out of the yard with her maids in a hurry.

But the moment she turned her back to Chi Dao, her expression became completely gloomy.

It turned out that someone in the palace was deliberately promoting her relationship with the Chi family.

The newly emerged aristocratic family, the Nanguan Houchi family, who is supporting them?

He was so eager to get on the path of becoming her prince consort.

"Gan Lin, go to Qi Town this afternoon and investigate the Chi family."
