Chapter 77 Going up the mountain requires sincerity
"Don't worry, Princess Regent. I'm fine!" Xiao Zirui's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He would never think of the Imperial Aunt again.
They actually said he fell too lightly!
This woman definitely did it on purpose, just to attract his attention!
He snorted coldly and waved his hand to ask the porters to speed up.
Yun Qingqing suddenly laughed and said:
"Look at all the people on this mountain. Who among them, if they're not missing any limbs, would walk on their own and be carried up by others?"
Qiao'er immediately covered her mouth and laughed:
"Of course not. If you don't even have the sincerity to burn incense and worship Buddha, what's the point of worshipping? How can your prayers be answered?"
"It has nothing to do with us anyway, so let's go." Yun Qingqing spread her hands and left leisurely with Qiao'er.
Xiao Zirui frowned thoughtfully, and Yun Bailian suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
"...Brother Crown Prince, let's go up quickly. It's important to get down to business."
However, Xiao Zirui looked around and suddenly said:
"She's right. All the believers who go up the mountain are walking. Since we are asking for the spiritual Buddha beads, we can't let people think we are not sincere."
Yun Bailian's eyelids twitched:
"But Prince, you're injured, yet you came all the way here in person. Isn't that enough sincerity?"
"Of course my sincerity is sufficient," Xiao Zirui said sternly, "Bai Lian, please take the trouble to get off the sedan chair and walk up. Otherwise, if the Spirit Buddha Beads think you are not sincere and unwilling to choose a master, then our trip will be in vain."
"This..." Yun Bailian looked at the endless staircase and felt overwhelmed. "It's just Yun Qingqing's casual remark. How can sitting in a sedan chair be related to sincerity..."
"This is a matter of great importance, so it is better to believe it than not to believe it."
Seeing that she was hesitant and unwilling to get off the sedan chair, Xiao Zirui's face darkened.
"Bai Lian, you are my most cherished concubine. Don't you want to do such a small thing for me?"
Yun Bailian quickly said:
"How could that be! I'm just afraid that I'll walk too slowly and burden the prince!"
Xiao Zirui's expression finally softened.
"It's okay. As long as we can let the Buddha see our sincerity, it's okay to go a little slower. I will wait for you."
Yun Bailian knew she couldn't escape, so she had to put away her reluctance and get off the car and walk away.
She was so angry that she wanted to die!
It’s all that damn Yun Qingqing’s fault. Just because of those extra words, I had to walk up the mountain!
And the prince is too much. He is sitting in a sedan chair, but he is willing to let himself suffer this hardship!
She looked up at the backs of Yun Qingqing and her servant not far away, gritting her teeth.
Humph, I'm not the only one who has to climb 1,600 steps. That loser has to climb the same steps too! Let's see if she's exhausted!
It would be better for her to fall down the mountain to feel relieved!
Yun Bailian was used to a life of luxury, so after climbing only two or three hundred steps, she started to pant and walked slower and slower.
However, Yun Qingqing in front seemed to be unaffected at all, and kept walking at the same speed. He was getting farther and farther away, and was finally lost in the crowd of people going up the mountain.
Xiao Zirui slowed down his pace at first and waited patiently for Yun Bailian to catch up.
But at the same time, he was also staring at Yun Qingqing's back.
That woman's even her back was so elegant, how come he hadn't noticed it before?
When she disappeared, Xiao Zirui suddenly felt a little annoyed and began to urge Yun Bailian to hurry up.
Yun Bailian was sweating profusely and panting heavily. She no longer had the strength to speak, so she could only try her best to lift her legs to keep up.
Xiao Zirui frowned even more tightly at her miserable appearance.
This is completely different from Yun Qingqing. If it weren't for the fact that she is a Tianfeng...
However, when he thought about having Tian Feng's help and that he could gather his luck by getting the Lingfo Pearl and completely overwhelm the Regent, he felt much better.
Near noon.
Yun Qingqing and Qiao'er came to a platform halfway up the mountain. There were many small shops nearby for pilgrims to rest. Yun Qingqing chose one and sat down.
"It's still early, eat something and gather enough strength before going."
She asked for some tea and water to satisfy her hunger.
Qiao Er sat down, took out her handkerchief and fanned herself, sighing repeatedly:
"Miss, when did you become so strong? You climbed so high without breaking a sweat! Even I can hardly keep up with you."
Qiao'er grew up in a poor family and had to do a lot of rough and tiring work. It was not until the first few years after she moved to the Yun Mansion that her condition improved a lot. She is still very confident in her physical strength.
I didn't expect that I couldn't climb the mountain better than my own lady.
Yun Qingqing smiled calmly without further explanation.
After having some refreshments and resting for a while, the two men prepared to continue climbing the mountain.
However, just as she stood up to leave, Yun Qingqing's eyes suddenly fell on a wealthy woman at the next table, and a light suddenly flashed in her eyes.
She frowned and walked straight over.
"Madam, may I ask, are you here to pray for a child?"
The woman turned to look at her, her expression changing slightly.
