The princess is soft!The sick villain is crazy

Chapter 117
Walking through the lively and bustling streets, you will see Zhumen Biwa, Feidougong, and Xiangguo Temple.

Buddhism pays attention to cleanliness, and temples are always built on clean mountain roads, but Xiangguo Temple is different. It is built in the most prosperous downtown, and the temple gate is only one street away from the market place.During temple fairs and gatherings, monks in gray robes also walk in the streets and have fun with the common people.Looking at the past hundred years, this phenomenon is very rare.

Shu Yao remembered that when she was very young, her uncle had taught her the way.It is said that Xiangguo Temple is on the only way to the imperial palace. Envoys visiting the emperor must pass through Xiangguo Temple. When they first entered the capital and saw such a bustling city, they felt the power of Dayong.As the facade of Beijing, Xiangguo Temple must be magnificent enough to show the spirit of the capital.

Today is not the first day of the Lunar New Year, but there are only a lot of tourists who come to Xiangguo Temple to offer incense.There are several rows of gorgeous and expensive carriages parked in the open space in front of the temple, which shows that the owner is an extraordinary person.

Princess Jiayi came a little earlier than Shu Yao, and was already waiting here for her.Seeing her getting out of the carriage, he complained a few words at first, then took her hand, pointed in the direction, and frowned: "Why is the Cui family's carriage here? How unlucky."

The quarrel between Princess Jiayi and Shu Yao was just a petty fight between young ladies, and there was no overnight feud in so many years.But she is different from Cui Ying.In the past, Princess Jiayi and Cui Ying went to school together in the Imperial College. At that time, she was still a chubby little girl. Cui Ying pulled her partner and laughed at Princess Jiayi as a "fat pig". Princess Jiayi was so angry that she didn't go to school for three days.

This matter even went to Emperor Yong, but how could Emperor Yong intervene when the children were making trouble, so they could only ask Cui Ying and others to write a letter of apology to Princess Jiayi, arrange different wives for them, and not get together.After that, Princess Jiayi also determined to lose weight, and finally lost weight.

It was indeed a coincidence that Princess Jiayi dragged Shu Yao to pay homage to Emperor Wenchang, and unexpectedly ran into Cui Ying and the concubine Xian beside her in front of the Yuelao Temple.

The two were talking and laughing, and seemed to have a good time talking.When they saw Shu Yao and Princess Jiayi, they restrained their smiles at the same time.

Although the concubine Xian was named "virtuous", her character was not in the same vein as virtuous.Her ancestors were in business and were well-known merchants in Luoyang. She became one of the powerful by selling officials and nobles.

Recently, the queen has been treated coldly by Emperor Yong, and the two concubines under the queen, Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian, have become the objects of everyone's attention.What's more, there were rumors in Beijing that Emperor Yong wanted another prince, and Emperor Yong only had two princes, and besides the prince, the second prince was far away in the northwest.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Yong disregarded the virtuous concubine, and favored the concubine Shu who had no background, which made these ministers in the court puzzled.Concubine Xian's stomach was simmering with anger, whether it was because she didn't have a stunning appearance or lacked a prominent family background, how could Emperor Yong love the little white flower of Concubine Shu more?
Concubine Xian is already the mother of the child, but because she was favored since she was a child, she has never suffered hardships in the palace. Her personality is no different from her childhood, and her emotions are written on her face.She didn't dare to be dissatisfied with Emperor Yong, and she couldn't offend Shu Yao, who was favored, so she could only spread this fire on Concubine Shu's daughter, raised her newly made red Danko finger, and evoked a charming smile :
"Ah, what wind brought Princess Huaxi and Princess Jiayi here? Why, you two little ladies are also seeking marriage?"

They were talking about two young ladies, but they were looking at Princess Jiayi, and Cui Ying even covered her mouth and snickered beside her: "Spring is coming, the two younger sisters also want to marry a good husband-in-law."

Princess Jiayi couldn't stand being so angry, she immediately rolled her eyes, and replied unceremoniously: "Xiangguo Temple is also under the care of Cui's family? How can I be said a few words about where my palace is going?"

Jokes can't be made casually. Xiangguo Temple has the word "country". If it is placed in those politically dark dynasties, just this sentence should be punished.However, nowadays the folk customs are open, Emperor Yong doesn't mind the courtiers' advice, and Princess Jiayi is a noble daughter of the royal family, so it is of course nothing to say.But Cui Ying didn't dare to talk back, she glared at Princess Jiayi a few times with a swollen face.

Princess Jiayi immediately stared back.

"The elder sister of the princess, not everyone can do it." Shu Yao also cast a glance at the two, "What do you mean, Mrs. Xianfei and Mrs. Cui?"

This little girl Shu Yao has always been stupid and brainless, how come she has sharp teeth after not seeing her for a while?Concubine Xian pulled Cui Ying over, squinted her eyes and smiled coquettishly, and put on the airs of an elder, "A Ying just said casually, and she cares about what to do with her. Why is the princess so stingy?"

"Really, that's why the princess misunderstood," Shu Yao snorted coldly, "The princess thought that the concubine Xian was so capable that she could add a sister to the princess, and wanted to tell uncle. "

Uncle is long, uncle is short, how old is she, and still let Emperor Yong support her?Thinking of her son who was sent to the frontier and didn't know how long she would have to wait to come back, Concubine Xian felt wronged, that was her own son, why was Emperor Yong's heart so biased?
The hated people are too disturbing, and Princess Jiayi has no intention of worshiping Yuelao. After eye contact with Cui Ying, she pulls Shu Yao and leaves.After leaving their sight, she muttered: "Why are Cui Ying and Concubine Xian getting so close? Concubine Xian doesn't want Second Brother to marry her, does she?"

According to the practice of marriage between the royal family and the daughters of aristocratic families, this is really possible.However, Shu Yao remembered that Emperor Yong sent his second cousin to the Northwest for five years of experience, and he had a full plan, and he had more than a year before returning to Beijing, even if it was talking about marriage, it was not so early.

Yes.If the second cousin returned to Beijing, the capital would definitely not be so prone to war.In other words, the rebellion in the dream happened before the second cousin returned to Beijing?
... Then only this year is left.

But after all this time, she still couldn't find the Deng Tuzi with the crescent scar on his waist.Could it be that she was looking in the wrong direction, that Deng Tuzi was not in the palace, but among the rebels?
Dayong has been peaceful for so long, and the inside and outside are stable. Who would start a war?

"Shu Yao?"

Princess Jiayi called her.Shu Yao came back to her senses, and heard her continue: "I heard that Cui Ying was almost accused of being the princess, but she fell ill in those two days and didn't see anyone, so she missed the banquet. Heh, You can't marry the eldest brother, but now you want to marry my second brother? She thinks beautifully!"

……

As night fell, lights were lit up on the street, and the street in front of Xiangguo Temple became lively.Shu Yao and Princess Jiayi walked around the night market holding hands, and the maids behind them carried the gadgets and food they bought. When they passed the sugar shop, Shu Yao asked for an extra bowl of sugar and wine brewed snow balls, and if they brought them back for him to eat, He shouldn't be unhappy.

After walking all the way to the end, the young man in guard uniform quietly returned to the line, and asked someone to bring a message to Shu Yao: "Princess, I have already bought it."
