Chapter 238 Let's go to the temple together
Rong Xinyue secretly observed her sister and saw that although she was wearing men's clothes, she was very attentive from head to toe, and she also hung the jade pendant around her waist. She guessed about 70% of the situation in her heart.
"Sister! Take Xinyue with you! I also want to go to the City God Temple to play." Rong Xinyue begged.
Rong Chuyue looked embarrassed: "I'm not going to play, I'm going to burn incense, you just stay at home obediently, dear."
Rong Xinyue refused to give up: "I will also go to burn incense, it's much better than being bored in the house."
Rong Chuyue persuaded: "I have prepared two large baskets of incense candles and offerings, you should go with you, I'm afraid the carriage can't fit them."
Rong Xinyue immediately said: "It doesn't matter, I can dress up as a man and ride a horse."
Rong Chuyue had no choice but to take her sister with her.
At worst, when we get to the City God Temple, we can seize the opportunity to get rid of Rong Xinyue.
Rong Xinyue really changed into men's clothes, rode a horse, and followed the carriage.
At the same time, Kunning Palace.
Early in the morning, the prince came to Kunning Palace to pay respects to the queen.
"Today is a day off, why did you come to the palace to see your mother?" The queen was a little surprised to see the prince early in the morning.
The prince scratched his head: "Well, actually I wanted to take my sister out to play."
Xia Miaoyuan was eating rice porridge on the side, and when she heard her brother's words, she immediately became energetic.
She threw the spoon aside, ran to the prince, and pulled his robe.
"Go out and play! Great! I want to go out and play, go out and play!"
The Queen frowned at her daughter and said, "I've been staying in your eldest brother's house for so many days, and I went out shopping every day. Haven't you had enough fun?"
The prince was afraid that the Queen would stop him, so he said, "Today, I want to take my sister to the temple fair. She has never seen a temple fair in her life."
[Huh? Temple fair! ] Xia Miaoyuan's eyes lit up immediately.
[So today is the date with my future sister-in-law! ]
[I remember that I made an appointment with Sister Rong last time to go to the temple fair together on the fifth day of the first lunar month. ]
The Queen was shocked when she heard the words "future sister-in-law".
[My eldest brother didn't want to take me out to the temple fair, he obviously wanted me to assist. ]
Xia Miaoyuan looked at the prince meaningfully.
[Huh! Thanks to having a sister like me, otherwise, this fate would have been missed. 】
The prince's face flushed a little, and he turned around quickly, pretending to stroke Maomao.
The queen had already understood 80% of it at this time.
Future sister-in-law, fate, sister Rong, the queen was very happy.
That's great, she and Emperor Mingxi were worried about the candidate for the crown princess.
Since her daughter said it was fate, it must be right. I just don't know which family this girl named Rong is from. They can also make preparations early.
"Oh, the temple meeting! Then go. But you must bring more people and pay attention to safety." The queen said lightly.
Afterwards, the queen ordered the palace people to prepare some necessary things for the little princess to go out, and kindly appointed Li Ma and Yingxue to follow.
The prince's carriage was big and the horses were good, so he went to the City God Temple first.
When the Rong sisters arrived at the City God Temple, the prince had already been there for a while.
The prince was holding his sister, and he saw Rong Chuyue and Rong Xinyue following from a distance. He just thought that the other party had similar ideas as him, and was afraid that the first official date would be awkward, so he brought his sister to assist.
"Miss Rong! You are here just now!" The prince waved his hands happily and greeted Rong Chuyue. Rong
Chuyue wanted to find a crack on the ground to crawl in.
"What a coincidence, Mr. Xia, you brought your sister to visit the temple!" After a brief panic, Rong Chuyue suddenly had an idea and pretended to meet the prince by chance.
The prince was a smart man. He immediately understood Rong Chuyue's situation and immediately cooperated: "Yes, what a coincidence!" "
Beautiful sister!" Xia Miaoyuan grinned and called in a baby voice.
"Hey! Hello, little daughter of the Xia family!" Rong Chuyue said softly.
Rong Xinyue saw the two people acting like this for her, and she had already cursed them eight hundred times in her heart, but her face was still harmless, and she said lightly: "You are the Mr. Xia that my sister and I met last time, right?"
The prince smiled and nodded.
Xia Miaoyuan was in the prince's arms, and just caught it quickly. The moment Rong Xinyue lowered her head, she threw a disgusted look at her sister.
[This Rong Xinyue, who followed me today, is not a good person. She must be up to no good! ]
[Yes, last time my brother and sister Rong met on the road, they went into a teahouse to drink tea, and this Rong Xinyue was still peeping outside the teahouse. ]
What? Peeping?
The prince's heart immediately tightened.
When I met Rong Xinyue on the Qixi Festival, I thought she was just a naive young lady from an official family. She could do such a thing!
[She is most likely jealous of the love between Sister Rong and the prince, right?]
[Well, let me think, what is written in the book?] Xia Miaoyuan narrowed his eyes and recalled the plot in the book.
[Rong Xinyue is not a good person in the book.]
[The Rong family has two daughters. Sister Rong is the legitimate daughter, and she is the illegitimate daughter. The whole family has always regarded Sister Rong as a treasure and doted on her.]
[The second illegitimate daughter is not so caring.]
[On the surface, Rong Xinyue loves her sister, but in her heart she hates her sister very much. She wants to trample her sister under her feet.]
[Rong Xinyue's biological mother is a person with a heart as vicious as a snake. The mother and daughter are very vicious. She was hoping that one day Rong Xinyue would marry a richer woman and step over her sister, so as to vent the resentment of the differences between legitimate and illegitimate children for many years. 】
【Later, Rong Xinyue contributed to her tragic ending. 】
Hearing this, the prince's heartstrings tightened even more.
He didn't expect that Rong Chuyue had such a vicious illegitimate sister.
It seems that he has to help Rong Chuyue and be on guard against this illegitimate sister in the future.
"Are we going to the City God Temple to burn incense? Where is Master Xia?" Rong Chuyue asked.
The prince's thoughts were suddenly pulled back, and he hurriedly said, "Yes, we also want to burn incense."
"Then let's go together!" Rong Chuyue said with a smile.
With that, two girls and one boy, as well as the infant Xia Miaoyuan, and several followers walked into the temple together.
After they burned incense and knelt down, Rong Chuyue took the fortune stick tube and asked for a fortune stick.
"Sister, what fortune stick are you asking for?" Rong Xinyue asked.
"A very good fortune stick." Rong Chuyue smiled shyly.
While smiling, she looked around to find the master who could interpret the fortune sticks.
"Sister, the master who can interpret the fortune sticks is at the gate. I think I saw him just now." Rong Xinyue said.
"I'll go interpret the fortune sticks!" Rong Chuyue stepped forward and headed straight for the temple gate.
At this time, the followers brought by the prince were waiting outside the palace. In the main hall of the temple, apart from some pilgrims, there were only Rong Xinyue, the prince, and Xia Miaoyuan.
The prince turned around and looked outside the palace door, his eyes following Rong Chuyue.
At this time, Rong Xinyue rolled her eyes, stumbled, and fell towards the prince.
As luck would have it, this scene was seen by Xia Miaoyuan who was lying on the prince's shoulder.
[Oh no! This guy is trying to seduce the prince brother! ]
