They were almost at Yuanshan Temple, and it would be inconvenient for the two carriages to get out and greet each other. Therefore, Lady Jing'an and Princess Ping simply nodded and smiled, without saying anything.
It wouldn't be appropriate to say through the carriage, "Come and offer incense too."
The carriage curtain was lowered, and Lady Jing'an immediately warned, "No more fooling around later, understand?"
Jiang Xuelin looked helpless, unsure of what kind of person her mother thought she was. She had never been disrespectful to her elders, so why was her mother so worried?
Lady Jing'an was certainly aware of this, but her concern clouded her judgment.
On the other carriage, Princess Ping was also instructing her son, "Today's incense offering was something you asked for. If you cause trouble in front of the Bodhisattva when we get to the temple, you'll be in for a beating when we get back."
This is so worrying!
If I had known, I wouldn't have spoiled Ah Shou so much just because he was weak.
He has the nerve to fight with a girl.
...Most importantly, they still lost the fight.
Fu Hanlai snorted twice, dissatisfied with Princess Ping's suspicion of him.
He didn't come here today with the intention of arguing with Jiang Xuelin. He came to resolve the problem, not to create one. For the sake of a comfortable life in his later years, he was willing to endure this time!
Thinking this to himself, he verbally agreed.
Princess Ping was a little worried, but she was also afraid that if she said too much, Fu Han would become rebellious, so she didn't continue.
The carriages soon arrived at the entrance of Yuanshan Temple, where both carriages stopped.
"Your Highness, it's been a long time since I last saw you; you've become even more radiant than before," Lady Jing'an greeted her with a smile.
She hadn't had much contact with Princess Ping in the past; they were just nodding acquaintances. Although the relationship between Jiang Xuelin and Fu Hanlai's families was somewhat complicated, they didn't become familiar with each other because of it.
They truly became close when Princess Ping personally visited Fu Han.
"Not at all. I'm so worried about having such a rascal at home. On the other hand, Sister Xie has several outstanding sons. Although her grandchildren aren't around, they're all very good-looking. And her daughter is also charming, lively, and very lovable."
Oh right, I hadn't thought of that if it weren't for this. Lady Jing'an had four sons and one daughter. Except for her youngest son, whose health was not as good as her brothers' due to some accidents at birth, she was indeed healthy.
With a mother like that, can she expect to have many grandchildren in the future?
Thinking of this, Princess Ping looked at Jiang Xuelin with even more kindness, while Jiang Xuelin, with her strong intuition, couldn't help but secretly rub her hands together.
If it were anyone else, Lady Jing'an would probably say that having too many children is also a hassle, but Princess Ping had finally gotten Fu Hanlai because of Prince Ping's health, so how could Lady Jing'an stab her in the heart? It sounds like she's showing off.
"My daughter is a worry too."
After a sigh, Princess Ping and Lady Jing'an fell silent for a moment, tacitly agreeing not to bring it up again.
They're just two worrying kids!
Jiang Xuelin smiled and stepped forward to greet them obediently. Fu Hanlai also greeted Lady Jing'an Marquis very honestly.
Lady Jing'an looked at Fu Hanlai, who had clearly been specially groomed today, and became more and more satisfied.
She doesn't have many requirements for her future son-in-law, as long as he is good to her daughter and doesn't restrict her.
In the eyes of others, Jiang Xuelin was wild and unruly since childhood. What family could tolerate such a daughter-in-law? They would definitely have to set proper rules after marriage, which is why the Jiang family was unwilling to marry her off to a high-ranking family.
But Fu Hanlai is different.
In the eyes of others, he was ignorant and incompetent, and did nothing but spend his days chasing cats and dogs. However, he never did anything that crossed the line. In other words, this child had a sense of justice and was not like what others thought.
As for not liking to do chores, so be it. He'll be a prince in the future, and Jiang Xuelin isn't the type to push her husband to be ambitious. If the two can get along like they do now, Lady Jing'an has nothing to worry about.
Isn't this also a kind of following one's heart?
The two ladies walked hand in hand to offer incense, chatting and laughing as they made their way to the distant mountain temple. The atmosphere between them was extremely pleasant.
Jiang Xuelin and Fu Han came together and obediently followed behind, exchanging only a brief glance.
It was this eye contact that allowed Fu Hanlai to take a good look at his childhood nemesis, whom he had never gotten along with.
He had never really looked at Jiang Xuelin's appearance before.
I knew she was pretty, but I'd never paid attention to it before. Today, my eyes fell on her face, and naturally, I noticed it.
Today, Jiang Xuelin wore a coral-colored fairy dress and had her hair styled in a flying fairy bun. To balance the look, Lady Jing'an Marquis specially made her wear a magpie perched on a plum blossom hairpin, with a begonia flower decoration between her eyebrows. The red begonia flower made her look much brighter and more flamboyant. Paired with the beauty mark at the corner of her right eye, the hairpin swayed slightly as she walked, almost dazzling people, instantly making it come alive.
...It's actually quite good-looking.
Seeing Fu Hanlai glancing at her face intentionally or unintentionally, Jiang Xuelin immediately glared at him, looking at him with annoyance—what are you looking at? Are you trying to provoke me?
Fu Hanlai: "..."
He turned his head away instantly.
That brat is still a brat. I was just thinking she'd grown up, but it was all just my imagination!
Jiang Xuelin was wearing a coral-colored fairy dress today, so she couldn't walk the same way as before. Fortunately, she had gotten used to the change and quietly followed behind Lady Jing'an and Princess Ping.
The two ladies chatted and laughed as they arrived at the main hall of Yuanshan Temple.
There is a golden statue of the Bodhisattva enshrined there, gazing kindly at the devout men and women below.
The accompanying maids placed the prayer cushions so that the masters could make their wishes. Lady Jing'an Marquis knelt down and devoutly told the Bodhisattva her heartfelt wishes. She then offered incense and added money to the incense oil before getting up.
Princess Ping, supported by the old woman, stood up with a teasing smile on her face. "Speaking of which, last time I asked Ashou to draw a fortune stick, and he got a very auspicious one. It seems that it has indeed come true."
Lady Jing'an also thought of Jiang Xuelin's fortune slip and felt a strong connection. "Indeed, my sister also had my daughter draw a fortune slip that day, which was extremely auspicious. She brought it with her this time to fulfill her vow."
Standing behind Lady Jing'an, Jiang Xuelin: "..."
Oops!
What did she say that day?
Who is so unlucky as to marry Fu Hanlai, a young lady who is proficient in poetry, calligraphy, painting and music since childhood?
Oh, it's me?
It turns out I was the unlucky young lady all along.
At this moment, Fu Hanlai was clearly thinking of that day as well.
Which unlucky man would marry Jiang Xuelin?
At that time, Fu Hanlai was just being sarcastic and unfriendly. He never expected that it would eventually happen to him.
Jiang Xuelin and He exchanged a glance, realizing that the other had also thought of this, and the two of them looked at each other in bewilderment.
