Chapter 3 Temple(1/2)
Early the next morning.
Li Baojia was pulled up early, dressed, and followed her mother into the carriage.
As soon as she went up, she shouted in surprise: "Sister Jiaying!"
Li Jiaying looked at her little cousin with some affection, smiled softly and said, "You little lazy boy got up early today."
Li Baojia was really surprised. She had so many thoughts yesterday, her mind was so messed up and so confused that she didn't even listen to what her mother said.
When her cousin, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, suddenly appeared, she was so surprised that she didn't even know what to say.
When she was a child, she loved to play behind her cousin, and her cousin loved to take her with her. At that time, her second uncle had not yet been appointed as the Suzhou Salt Transport Envoy, and the two families still lived in the same house.
Although my cousin is now married to the capital, she is already a woman and can no longer play around with her as before.
Thinking of his second uncle, Li Baojia's eyes darkened again.
Li Jiaying scraped her little nose affectionately with her hand: "What is Jia'er worried about today? She is full of sadness at a young age."
Li Baojia was about to speak when his eyes caught sight of Li Jiaying's belly, which was round and seemed to be slightly bulging.
She instantly forgot what she had just wanted to say, and said with some surprise: "Sister Jiaying, you...are you pregnant?"
A little life is undoubtedly very new to her. In her previous life, she had been in the palace for five years and was pampered almost every day, but her belly didn't move at all.
She originally thought she couldn't give birth, but now she thought about it, it was probably because His Highness the Crown Prince didn't want her, a woman she didn't love, to give birth to his child.
Li Jiaying smiled shyly, stroking her belly and said, "Yes, it's only been more than three months. It has just stabilized and I want to come to Lingyuan Temple to ask for a peace charm for my child."
Li Baojia said happily: "Then I will have a nephew or niece soon?"
Then he muttered: "Then I have to prepare well and give my unborn nephew or niece a pair of lovely longevity locks as a 100th birthday gift."
Li Jiaying said with a smile: "It's still early."
Mrs. Huang also smiled and said: "You little little monkey, don't rush into your sister. She is a pregnant woman now, so you have to be more careful."
Li Baojia stuck out her tongue.
Madam Huang's words changed again: "This woman has established a firm foothold in her husband's family only after she has a child. Jia'er, when you enter the palace in the future, you must capture His Highness's heart and conceive the Emperor's grandson as soon as possible.
yes."
Li Baojia didn't like hearing this the most: "Mother! My sister is still here, why do you still say such things?"
Mrs. Huang disagreed: "Your sister Jiaying is not an outsider, why can't you say this?"
Li Baojia looked out the window and stopped talking. In fact, she really didn't like hearing what her mother said, and she didn't believe that mother was more valuable than son. If there was a choice, who would be willing to share the same husband with another woman?
Not long after, the carriage stopped steadily at the foot of Lingyuan Temple. Through the woods in front was the temple.
Lingyuan Temple has a long history. It is said that it was once an imperial temple. It is very efficacious. There are many eminent monks in the temple, so it has been popular over the years.
Mrs. Huang walked in front.
Li Baojia carefully supported Li Jiaying and walked behind.
When they arrived at the entrance of the temple, they were led to offer incense first. Mrs. Huang explained the purpose of their visit. The young monk led Mrs. Huang and Li Jiaying to the side door, while Li Baojia waited in the temple lobby.
The young monk next to her walked towards her and said, "This benefactor, the lottery in our temple has always been very effective. Why don't we ask for one from the benefactor?"
Li Baojia originally did not believe in Buddhism, but she had already experienced it all over again, and she really had to believe in it.
She gave a blessing and stepped forward.
Kneel on the mat, close your eyes slightly, shake it three times, and pour out a stick.
She picked it up and looked at it, but there was nothing on it.
What does it mean?
The one who interpreted the lot today was an old monk, and the old god was sitting there.
Li Baojia handed over the lot. He took a look at it and said with some surprise: "Donor, I can't decipher your lot."
"In a few days, Master Meng Shen will return from his travels and will interpret the signature to the donor."
Li Baojia was a little worried: "Master, is this lot bad or good?"
"A poor monk dares not to call himself a master if he makes an impure call. Historically, those who draw empty lots are either bad or good, so a poor monk dare not make any hasty conclusions."
Li Baojia sighed, turned around and wanted to leave.
When she didn't want to turn around, she bumped into someone. She was knocked backwards, and the person in front reached out to support her and hooked her waist to prevent her from falling.
Li Baojia exclaimed. It took him a long time to see that he didn't fall to the ground before he dared to open his eyes.
Their eyes met, and both of them were stunned.
What surprised Li Baojia was that she knew this person.
This was Zhou Jinan, the cousin of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Jing'an, whom she had met in her previous life.
Zhou Jinan was stunned simply because he hooked up with a girl as soon as he hit her. This girl was quite pretty, with big watery eyes. At this time, due to panic, her eyelashes were fluttering like small fans, and her skin was as thin as a freshly peeled egg.
Just as delicate.
From his angle, he could even see the tiny golden fuzz on her face.
Li Baojia stood up in a hurry, and Xiao Tao quickly helped her steady.
Zhou Jinan put his hands behind his back and quietly twirled his fingers. The feeling of holding his slender waist just now seemed to be still there, soft and soft.
"Sorry, girl, no offense intended."
Zhou Jinan stood there, dressed in white, looking a bit like a handsome young man, with a pair of peach blossom eyes that were so suave that anyone who looked at him felt like he was being discharged.
"Nothing...nothing."
Li Baojia's face felt a little hot when he saw her, and she just wanted to leave quickly. She gave him a blessing and left.
Xiao Tao was still nearby and cursed in a low voice with some annoyance: "You're a disciple!"
This place is so wide, why do you have to stand behind the lady?
Besides, the man who just fell off the bed still hasn’t loosened his waist, and he still looks at her with that look. It’s simply...shameless!
Everyone had left, but Zhou Jinan behind was still staring at her back.
The young master in Jinyi next to him smiled at him and said, "Everyone is gone. Brother Jinan is back!"
Zhou Jinan kicked his leg and said with a smile: "Fuck you."
This way.
Li Baojia squeezed Xiaotao's hand and signaled her to stop talking.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xiaotao doesn’t know, but she knows it very well.
Although Zhou Jinan looked at Wen Wen as weak, he had always used Wen Wen to show off to others in his previous life, but his most powerful thing was his ability to lead troops.
Two years later, when the war broke out in the northwest, it was he who led an army of 30,000 to break through and drove 50,000 barbarian cavalry back beyond the Huguo River. From then on, he became famous in one battle, and the reputation of Prince Jing'an was unknown to everyone.
Although Xiao Tao whispered, there was no guarantee that he wouldn't hear her.
Besides, she didn't think Zhou Jinan would have any thoughts about her. After all, they had met him in the previous life, and it was nothing special, and they didn't even speak to each other.
but......
Her mother wanted her to enter the palace, but she didn't want her to marry poorly like Sister Lan.
Although the Marquis of Guangping is one rank higher than the Crown Prince, in terms of real power, the Marquis of Guangping is incomparable to the Marquis of Jing'an. The Marquis of Jing'an holds a hundred thousand troops and is under the command of the Crown Prince.
Her father has always wanted to strengthen the relationship with the East Palace. Even if she does not marry the prince, she can satisfy his request as long as she is with a son from a noble family in the prince's camp.
If it were Prince Jing'an, she believed that he would be able to save the Li family from the disaster that happened behind the Li family.
What's more, even if he can't protect her, he still has such a relationship with the prince. Is it possible that the prince will help her?
Li Baojia was enjoying his future here, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible.
It doesn't even have to be Crown Prince Jing'an. You can consider any of the several major families under the Crown Prince's command.
Over there, Zhou Jinan sneezed and touched his nose. He had no idea that he was already being noticed by a little girl.
Li Baojia deeply felt that he had found the best way.
Even if you don't have to spend your whole life in the palace, you can solve everything.
The heavy fog that had previously blocked her path seemed to have dissipated.
But she immediately thought that there was another important question.
She basically never leaves the front door or takes another step forward. Where can she find such a perfect husband?
If it was okay before, no one in the capital knows that she is going to marry the prince now, and who would be willing to marry her or dare to marry her.
Li Baojia, who thought the future was bright just now, was a little worried again.
Next to her, Xiao Tao looked at her young lady, who was happy and grimacing for a while, completely confused.
The two of them walked out of the main temple and passed by a side temple. There were a lot of people inside, and they were all women.
Li Baojia asked curiously: "Xiao Tao, where is this place?"
