A beautiful daughter came to the Xiangfu

Lin Qingyang was shocked when she saw Prince Qi running around the yard with his head in his hands.

But the maids and servants in this mansion seemed to be used to it.

Lin Qingyang thought: Is this the palace? Is this Prince Qi? Is the woman holding the willow branch the gentle and demure Princess Qi in front of him?

Although she is indeed not very demure, the picture is a bit abstract.

Prince An did not show any major emotional fluctuations. He pulled Lin Qingyang into the house and sat down.

Seeing Lin Qingyang who was a little surprised, he said, "It's okay. They often exercise like this."

Lin Qingyang stared at Xiao An Wang with wide eyes, "Exercise? How can this be called exercise?"

Prince An drank a glass of water and said, "This is just like fighting on the battlefield. A proper duel consumes more energy than this. Just think of them as just joking!"

Sure enough, after a while Princess Qi and Prince Qi became "reconciled". When they came to the hall and saw the two juniors waiting there, they acted as if nothing had happened.

"My goddaughter is here, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you." Princess Qi said with a smile.

After saying that, he turned around and told the nanny to bring the gifts for Lin Qingyang and the others.

Lin Qingyang and Xiao An Wang naturally had to serve tea to their elders according to the rules.

Originally, Lin Qingyang was too embarrassed to ask what happened just now, but Prince An took the initiative to talk about it: "How did Prince Qi make Princess Qi angry again? We have been waiting in the house for a long time."

Princess Qi sighed and said, "Ah, it makes me angry just talking about it."

Princess Qi, who had calmed down, seemed to be ignited again.

Prince Qi lowered his head and did not dare to look at Princess Qi.

"What happened?" Prince An was curious.

"It's bad enough that he went out to drink and have fun, but he also took his son with him. Do you think he can be a father like this?" Princess Qi said angrily.

"It's not flower wine, it's just that a woman came to the banquet and the princess insisted that it was flower wine." Prince Qi explained.

"Princess, if Prince Qi is really that brave, he can't take Jing Han with him. Where are the others?" Prince An said and looked around.

"He was beaten by the princess and is being kept in the house!" said Prince Qi.

Lin Qingyang and Xiao Anwang were both shocked.

"what?"

"what?"

"what happened?"

Little King An asked.

"I happened to meet the prince when I went out with Jing Han yesterday. He invited us to have a drink. We couldn't just send Jing Han back alone for the drink. During the meal, he called a few girls to accompany us for the drink. We didn't do anything wrong. Prince Xiao really didn't handle this matter well."

King Qi explained.

"Is this how you teach my good son?" Princess Qi said.

Lin Qingyang comforted Princess Qi while Prince An continued to ask, "Why would Uncle Xiao invite you to dinner?"

Prince Qi said: "This is not a task assigned to me by the Emperor. In a few days, he wants me to check the salt and iron in Jiangnan. The Xiao family has some connections in Jiangnan, and they also come to me to "smooth things out". I always refuse, but the princess keeps holding on to this point.

"Didn't this task come to someone else?" Prince Xiao An did not remember handing the matter over to Prince Qi. Logically, it would have been most reasonable to hand it over to Prince Shun, but he had taken leave two days ago and was unaware of the changes in the court.

"Didn't you ask for leave a few days ago? The emperor originally wanted the crown prince to go, but for some reason, he didn't let him go. I am the only prince of the royal family who has nothing to do."

King Qi smiled helplessly after saying this.

"When are we going?" asked King An.

"Mid-next month." King Qi replied.

"Mid-month? Are you going after the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Princess Qi suddenly asked.

"Probably before." Prince Qi replied.

"Why don't I give you good things during the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Princess Qi was very angry and continued, "You check every year, but you don't even know what you're checking for?"

Lin Qingyang looked at Xiao An Wang and asked, "Isn't it a good job?"

"That's not the case. It's just that in previous years we went to check at the end of June, which was considered a good job. But this year it was delayed until mid-August. Not to mention the hot weather, the harvest in the south was not good this year. I'm afraid the journey will not be peaceful."

After Prince Xiao An finished speaking, Lin Qingyang understood. In previous years, people treated this as a public-funded tour. This year, no one wanted to go, so Prince Qi was allowed to go. But what did the Xiao family's uncle mean?

Lin Qingyang didn't think much about it. She didn't know much about what happened in the court.

Princess Qi was angry for a moment and took it out on Prince Qi and the Crown Prince.

After returning to Prince An's Mansion from Prince Qi's Mansion, the two of them resumed their way of getting along in the mansion. After the hour of You, little Prince An was still in fear, but when he saw that Lin Qingyang was fine, he finally felt relieved.

July seems to be a very busy month. Lin Qingyang is always much busier in July in the capital than in the countryside.

Early in the morning on the first day of August, Lin Qingyang and Prince Xiao An went to the temple outside the city as instructed by the Queen Mother and Duke Qing.

Lin Qingyang was dressed simply, without wearing any ostentatious jewelry. The hairpin given by the Empress Dowager fit her head perfectly.

After the two people arrived at the foot of the temple mountain, they slowly began to climb the mountain.

The temple is on the mountain, but there is a constant stream of pilgrims.

"Are you tired?" Prince Xiao An originally wanted to hire a sedan chair, but Lin Qingyang saw that many pilgrims climbed up by themselves, so he also wanted to walk.

Little Prince An naturally didn't feel tired. As a martial artist, he still had some strength in his legs.

When they came to the temple, they did not bring many people with them.

"Climb slowly, it's not tiring, isn't it just climbing a mountain?" The mountain was not high, but the stone steps were a bit dense.

"This temple doesn't seem as big as the one I went to last time with Ning'er." Lin Qingyang asked.

"Yes, that one is a century-old temple, and this one is only a dozen years old, but it's still popular."

The two of them talked as they walked, and the journey up the mountain didn't feel tiring at all.

When they climbed up the mountain, Lin Qingyang and Prince Xiao An saw that Duke Qing was already waiting there.

Duke Qing was not wearing anything conspicuous. He glanced at the hairpin on Lin Qingyang's head and asked, "Did you take everything with you?" Prince An patted his chest. The two halves of the jade pendant were with him.

Duke Qing nodded, turned around and led them into the temple.

Most of the pilgrims who came into the temple burned incense, worshipped Buddha, and asked for divination. Duke Qing led them around the main hall, down the steps, and went to a small door in the side hall. He spoke a few words to a master there, and the master then led them inside.

When entering the temple, Lin Qingyang observed that there was a mountain behind this side hall. Could there be a secret room inside the mountain?

The master led them into a door. After they walked about ten steps, the master pressed something at the side and the wall in front moved. It turned out to be a secret door. After the master led them in, the door closed automatically.

The winding path leads to a bright future. I didn’t expect that behind the dark corridor, there was a different world. The space here was no smaller than the side hall just now. I saw an old monk meditating alone.

"Master, someone is looking for you." The person who had just led the way said to the old monk who was meditating.

The old man opened his eyes, looked at the people in front of him, and exchanged greetings with Duke Qing.

"You finally came to see me." The old monk smiled...
