The step-brother is charming and soft, and the Marquis can't help but flirt with her

The Crown Princess told Rong Zhao about going out to offer incense, and Rong Zhao agreed immediately. It was really boring to stay in the palace all day long. Spring was just right at this time, so it was perfect to go out for an outing.

As for Shen Lansui, she went there personally and told Shen Lansui about it.

Shen Lansui did not agree immediately and discussed it with Lu Xingyue in the evening. Lu Xingyue was still a little worried at first, but he felt relieved when he heard that the Crown Princess was also there.

"Go if you want to. There's no point in being bored at home. I heard that the peach blossoms in Lingshan Temple are amazing. When spring comes, the flowers bloom all over the mountain. It would be a pity not to see them."

Lu Xingyue kissed the top of Shen Lansui's hair and said, "You might as well go and have some fun."

"What about you?" Shen Lansui asked.

"I have something to do that day. If it can end early, I will pick you up."

"it is good."

Shen Lansui smiled and hooked up with him, "If you are not busy, we can stay one night at Lingshan Temple. I heard that the vegetarian food at Lingshan Temple is also delicious."

"Okay, just listen to Madam."

*

Shen Lansui sent a letter to Rong Zhao and agreed, so on the third day of April, the Crown Princess, Rong Zhao and Shen Lansui left the city together.

The three of them each took a carriage. Shen Lansui opened the curtain and looked at the scenery along the way.

The ancient landscape was unpolluted and so beautiful that you couldn't get enough of it. The breeze blowing on your face seemed to carry a faint sweetness.

Going out to play has broadened your horizons and opened your mind a lot. Shen Lansui and Guan Chun said, "You can come here more often in the future. It should be very cool here in the summer."

Guanchun said with a smile: "The Marquis likes Madam so much. She can come anytime she wants. He will definitely agree."

Shen Lansui glanced at her with a smile.

Lingshan Temple is located in the west of Yangdu. It takes two hours by carriage, which is quite far. In the meantime, Shen Lansui fell asleep in the carriage. When she arrived, she was woken up by Xia Xia.

When I opened my eyes, it was already noon.

Shen Lansui yawned, and Guan Chun said casually: "I feel like Madam has been very lethargic recently, and she always gets sleepy easily. Is it spring sleepiness?"

Shang Xia nodded, "Forget it, Madam, you are the same, your eyes were almost closed when I was making soup the day before yesterday. If I hadn't happened to see you and grabbed you, you would have fallen into the pot."

Shen Lansui couldn't help laughing, "I can't let you go into the kitchen alone in the future. It's too dangerous."

Guan Chun blushed and quickly changed the subject, "Oh, the Crown Princess has gotten off the carriage. Madam, can we leave too?"

Shen Lansui stopped teasing her and quickly went down with her skirt in hand.

The sun was shining brightly at noon and it was very warm. The princess took off her cloak and wore a thin spring shirt.

Rong Zhao was very angry and wore lighter clothes. He wore a light pink gauze jacket, with large golden peonies embroidered on the wide sleeves, which were lifelike and extremely beautiful.

Shen Lansui couldn't help but take a second look.

She took a step forward and walked on the other side of the Crown Princess. The three of them stood side by side, each beautiful in its own way.

The guards and maids followed closely behind.

The group of people marched toward the temple gate.

Lingshan Temple is built on the mountain. From the foot of the mountain to the temple gate, there is a long flight of steps.

Rong Zhao was worried about the health of the Crown Princess and whispered: "Can my sister-in-law move around? If she can't move, let the bearers carry her up."

"It doesn't matter this little bit of walking. Let the bearer come when you can't walk anymore. I won't force you. Don't worry."

Rong Zhao nodded, "Okay, let's go up first."

Spring returns to the earth and all things revive. It is a good time to go out and pray for blessings. Lingshan Temple is bustling with people, and every sight is full of heads.

Shen Lansui walked beside the Crown Princess and separated her from the crowd without leaving a trace. The guards followed behind at first, but when they saw that there were too many people, they directly protected the three of them in the middle, and they led the way.

The Crown Princess did not reveal her identity deliberately, nor did she hide it. The guards wore uniform clothes and carried swords. It was obvious at a glance that the three people in the middle were either rich or noble. When the people saw it, they all gave way, and soon there was a large space in front of them. , they moved forward much faster. Entering the gate of Lingshan Temple, you are greeted by a strong scent of sandalwood. There is a large bronze incense burner in the middle of the open space, with incense sticks as thick as a child's arm inserted in it, and a bunch of small incense sticks densely packed around it. , the smoke gathered together and curled into the sky, no wonder the smell was so strong.

There were three futons placed in front of the incense burner, all with people kneeling on their knees, kowtowing devoutly, and a long queue formed behind them.

Shen Lansui was shocked by this scene.

She had no faith in her previous life and had never been to a Buddhist temple. After all, it would be difficult for people to live in the last days. Who would think of offering incense to the Buddha?

So she was very surprised to see people placing their wishes on gods and Buddhas so devoutly.

The Crown Princess said hello in advance and took Rong Zhao and Shen Lansui directly to the main hall.

The golden Buddha body in the main hall is full of splendor and solemnity at first glance.

The abbot and the abbot came to welcome her in person and started chatting with the princess.

The young monks went out to guard and not let anyone else approach.

After they had finished chatting, the Crown Princess said to Rong Zhao and Shen Lansui: "Are you asking for a signature?"

Shen Lansui shook his head, Rong Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Please."

Shen Lan then went to burn incense.

The young disciple handed her three sticks of incense. She knelt on the newly replaced futon and looked up at the kind-faced Buddha.

Asking for Buddha's fortune or fortune is all because one's heart is concerned, whether it's for love, profit, or for others.

And she had all three, so she had nothing to ask for.

When she first came to this world, she wanted to leave the Duke's Mansion and live a good life, but now she is willing to stay for one person.

But her original thoughts have not changed. She still wants to live well. Life is precious and hard-won, and everything else is fleeting.

Shen Lansui smiled, kowtowed to the Buddha statue, stood up and put the incense into the incense burner.

The young disciple asked curiously: "Does the donor want nothing?"

Shen Lansui nodded, "There's no need to ask for small things. There's no point asking for big things. Just wait and see."

The young disciple was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Amitabha, the donor has great wisdom."

After offering the incense, Shen Lansui stepped aside and looked at the Crown Princess and Rong Zhao.

The two of them each asked for a lottery ticket and were waiting for the host to interpret it.

The host first looked at Rong Zhao's lot, then pondered for a moment and said, "Amitabha, this is the lot. What the donor intended for will eventually come true, but there will be no twists and turns."

Rong Zhao was happy at first, then frowned, "What do you mean by twists and turns?"

The host said: "The secret of heaven must not be leaked. The donor can do whatever he wants."

After saying that, he looked at the Crown Princess's sign again. This time the silence lasted longer, and even Shen Lansui became concerned.

The Crown Princess couldn't help but ask: "President, what do you think of my fortune?"

The host looked at her deeply and said solemnly: "It's a lottery."

The Crown Princess' expression suddenly hardened.

Shen Lansui raised his eyebrows and signed, "Tsk, that's too bad."

The host shook his head and said: "This sign is not to verify the donor. Are you asking for it for the people around you?"

The Crown Princess pursed her lips and nodded.

The host sighed and said: "The benefactor advised him after he returned that he should not try too hard to do anything. There is a time in your life that you must have, and there is a time in your life that you don't have. Don't force it."
