Chapter 205 Lingyuan Temple

A few days later, Su Jingyao happily wrote a letter to Chu Yinxue, inviting her to go to the famous Lingyuan Temple in the capital.

Lingyuan Temple is a sacred place where many men and women in the capital pray for marriage. Every day, there are endless men and women coming to Lingyuan Temple to burn incense devoutly.

Lingyuan Temple is located on the top of Tianming Mountain, with beautiful scenery, tranquility and peace.

So, when Su Jingyao and Su Jingxuan's carriage arrived at the foot of the mountain, they tidied their clothes and prepared to get off the carriage.

After a while, Chu Yinxue's carriage also slowly drove over.

The curtain was lifted and she stepped lightly from the carriage.

Su Jingyao looked up and instantly felt that she seemed to be dressed differently today.

Chu Yinxue is already beautiful, and with a little makeup, she looks even more radiant, dazzling and eye-catching.

Obviously, Chu Yinxue is a few months younger than Su Jingyao, but today she looks like a girl of fifteen or sixteen.

As Chu Yinxue got off the carriage, a smile spread across her face and she walked over gracefully.

After greeting them warmly, he took Su Jingyao's hand affectionately and started to go up the mountain.

This is the season between spring and summer, and the direct sunlight usually makes people feel hot and unbearable.

Fortunately, on the way up the mountain, there were lush trees on both sides of the road, with branches and leaves intertwined into a dense green shade. The breeze brought a slight coolness, so people didn't feel the heat at all.

Along the way, Su Jingyao's lively eyes kept moving between her brother and Chu Yinxue. She was eloquent and tried her best to get her brother and Chu Yinxue talking.

The two chatted back and forth, and as they chatted, they became more familiar with each other and the atmosphere became more harmonious.

Su Jingyao was very satisfied with this.

She tried her best.

Whether they succeed or not depends on themselves.

When they arrived at Lingyuan Temple, Su Jingyao secretly planned the time to escape.

She leaned close to Chu Yinxue's ear and whispered, "Yinxue, you go in first. I need to go to the bathroom."

Chu Yinxue nodded slightly and walked in first.

Afterwards, Su Jingyao turned to Su Jingxuan again, blinked her eyes, and said mischievously: "Brother, don't you want to thank Yinxue? Go and thank her yourself. I'm going to stroll around the peach forest behind the temple."

When Su Jingxuan heard this, he immediately looked embarrassed and seemed a little at a loss. He has never been good at getting along with women. It was better when his sister was around.

But after hesitating for a moment, he still responded.

"good."

Su Jingxuan followed Chu Yinxue a little awkwardly and entered the Buddhist hall together.

At this time, the temple was bustling with men and women who came to worship Buddha. They had to wait patiently by the side, burning incense and shaking fortune sticks one by one.

Without his sister by his side, Su Jingxuan looked at Chu Yinxue's back and didn't know how to get close to her for a moment.

He stared at Chu Yinxue's profile somewhat absentmindedly, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Her facial features are delicate and gorgeous, and her eyelashes are thick and slightly trembling.

Maybe in two years, she will look even better than she does now.

Miss Chu and her sister have two completely different styles. Her sister is as delicate and otherworldly as a fairy, while Chu Yinxue is bright, charming and full of vitality.

Su Jingxuan always thought that he would prefer a fairy-like woman like his sister, or a gentle and tender lady, or a talented woman with a wealth of poetry and elegant temperament.

But from the chat he had just had with Miss Chu, and the information he got from his sister, he knew that Miss Chu was a very bright and cheerful person.

I speak directly and don't like flowery words.

Chu Yinxue felt a gaze, she turned her head and looked over, and her eyes happened to collide with Su Jingxuan who was looking at her.

Su Jingxuan suddenly became flustered, like a child who had been caught in a crime, and quickly looked away.

A blush instantly appeared on her face, and her heart suddenly started beating uncontrollably.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner panic, then calmed himself down and walked towards Chu Yinxue.

"Ms. Chu, thank you very much for your help at the Lingxi Banquet last time."

"I heard from my sister that you particularly like spices, so I sent people to the extreme south these days. There are a lot of spices produced in the country, such as agarwood, angelica, partridge incense, raft incense, raw incense, cloves, and sandalwood. I don't know what you like specifically, so I asked people to find some of them."

Su Jingxuan's voice was gentle and sincere.

"In a few days, the person who sent the incense will return to Beijing. I will then deliver it to Miss Chu. I hope Miss Chu will accept it."

Having said that, he clasped his hands together and bowed slightly to Chu Yinxue.

Chu Yinxue was not polite to Su Jingxuan. She was always straightforward and really liked spices. Whenever she went out, she had to wear perfume.

The corners of her mouth turned up, revealing a bright smile, "Okay, thank you, Mr. Su."

Lingyuan Temple, as the largest temple for seeking marriage in the capital, has always been bustling with people and has a strong incense. Therefore, there is a huge crowd of people, even in the peach forest on the back mountain, there are many people.

Su Jingyao walked briskly to a corner of the peach forest in the back mountain. At this time, Jun Zechen, dressed in a light-colored robe, was already waiting there.

After all, Su Jingyao finally had the chance to leave the house, so how could Jun Zechen miss the opportunity to meet her.

Jun Zechen stood with his back to her, his posture as straight as a pine tree.

Seeing this, Su Jingyao had a bad idea.

She prepared to sneak up on him, hoping to scare him.

Jun Zechen has been practicing martial arts for many years and his senses are extremely sharp. He noticed her coming when she approached quietly, but he did not react.

I want to see what the little girl wants to do.

Su Jingyao tiptoed to behind Jun Zechen, patted his shoulder, and then squatted down like a nimble rabbit.

Jun Zechen turned around upon hearing the voice, but saw no one. He looked down and found that the little girl was squatting on the ground, holding her pink cheeks with her hands, looking at him with a smile.

She looks so playful and cute that one can't help but want to pinch her face.

Jun Zechen bent down helplessly, picked her up, raised the corners of his mouth, and asked with a bit of affection: "Is it fun?"

Su Jingyao put her arms around his neck and smiled as brightly as the warm spring sun.

He said cheerfully, "It's fun."

Jun Zechen couldn't help but chuckle. Being with her, he became much more childish.

Afterwards, Jun Zechen held her and walked towards a higher place.

It is quiet and peaceful there, and no one will disturb them.

"Do you know how much I want you to live directly in the Prince's Mansion?"

Jun Zechen's voice is low and gentle.

He longed to see her smile every day and hold her like this every day.

"On the contrary, I think that if we meet from time to time like this, I will be filled with joy every time I see Brother Zechen. If we meet every day, wouldn't Brother Zechen be afraid that he would get bored?"

Su Jingyao blinked her lively big eyes and tilted her head slightly, looking cute and adorable.

"I will never get bored, but I don't know if someone will get bored."

Jun Zechen narrowed his eyes slightly, with danger in his eyes, and stared at her closely.

He has lived with her for his entire life, so he knows very well whether he will get tired of her or not.

She is now a child with a serious mind, and children are easily attracted by new things and get bored with old things. If they have a deep relationship, how could they get bored?

"I was just saying it casually, Brother Zechen, don't take it seriously."

Su Jingyao stuck out her tongue and said coquettishly, with a hint of flattery in her eyes.

Su Jingyao saw that he looked a little unhappy, so she hurriedly continued, "Are you tired of carrying me, Brother Zechen? How about I walk by myself?"

She blinked her big watery eyes, with concern in her eyes.

"It's still a quarter of an hour up the mountain. Are you sure you want to walk by yourself?"

Jun Zechen raised his eyebrows.

In her last life, she would get tired after walking for quarter of an hour in Yu Garden. She had just climbed up from the foot of the mountain by herself. Jun Zechen didn't believe that she could still walk now.

Su Jingyao tilted her head and thought carefully. Her feet were so sore now.

It took them nearly half an hour to climb up from the foot of the mountain.

These temples all emphasize that sincerity is the key to success, and they are used to test people's perseverance, so many temples in the capital are built on mountains.

Su Jingyao rubbed Jun Zechen's neck like a kitten and said in a sweet voice, "I see that Brother Zechen is full of energy, so he doesn't seem to be tired."

After saying this, the legs on both sides of Jun Zechen swayed a few times, with a bit of playfulness.

An Shun followed behind him and couldn't help but laugh secretly.

I just felt that Miss Su was like a living treasure in front of His Highness, lively and lively.

His Highness has a very good temper in front of Miss Su. The usually stern His Highness is always patient and gentle in front of Miss Su.

Jun Zechen held her steadily all the way to the real top of Tianming Mountain.

There was a breeze up there, but it didn't make people feel hot. Instead, the wind was quite strong and Su Jingyao's long hair fluttered freely in the wind.

It was Su Jingyao's first time to come to such a place. She felt as if she could touch the pure white clouds with just her hands, and she was so excited that she could hardly contain herself.

She broke into a trot.

“Very comfortable.”

After running a few steps, he stopped, opened his arms, raised his head, closed his eyes, enjoyed it, and sighed sincerely.

Although it was not as stunning as the view from the summit of Mount Tai, where one can see all the other mountains, the beautiful scenery still made her feel extremely surprised and satisfied.

Jun Zechen was delighted to see her so happy.

They still have a lot of time outside the palace in this life, and can take her to many places to play. After entering the harem, I am afraid that she will not be able to leave the palace for a long time.

In fact, An Jinyan received the news from the moment Su Jingyao stepped out of the Su Mansion.

Ever since the Crown Prince and Su Jingyao got on the same carriage, An Jinyan felt like a thorn in her heart and was eager to verify her guess.

Therefore, they arranged people to observe quietly around the Su Mansion every day. Today, when Su Jingyao left the mansion, An Jinyan got the news and followed them secretly.

After arriving at Lingyuan Temple, An Jinyan followed Su Jingyao from a distance.

Until he saw Su Jingyao happily walk up to the prince and play with him, the prince was not angry at all, and even picked her up lovingly, looking very intimate.

An Jinyan's expression suddenly hardened and he gritted his teeth.

Shameless!

She was filled with anger and jealousy.

Is this how the Su family teaches their daughters? She is so intimate with a man before she even gets married. She has no sense of shame. If the news of her seducing the prince gets out, the face of the Su family will be completely lost by Su Jingyao.

An Jinyan held her handkerchief tightly, and it was crumpled into a mess.

No, she couldn't just sit there and wait for death. She had to find a way to ruin Su Jingyao's reputation.

If His Majesty and the Empress object then what good will it be even if the Crown Prince likes her?

However, Su Jingyao obviously seemed to be very much liked by the Crown Prince. If she rashly made this matter public, the Crown Prince would definitely be very disgusted with her.

She can't do this on her own.

An Jinyan fell into deep thought.

By the way, Ye Yaqin!

An Jinyan's eyes suddenly lit up and he had an idea in his mind.

She has always dreamed of becoming a crown princess. If she knew that someone had gotten there first, would she just sit there and wait for death?

Thinking of this, An Jinyan's mouth curled up slightly, as if he had already seen the situation he expected.

At that time, Miss Ye and Miss Su, the two women with the highest family backgrounds in Beijing, would be fighting each other, and in the end, she, the fisherman, would be the winner, which was not bad.
