Chapter 1413 When did Princess Zhuoyang get better?
Zhong Siyu had paused, but it was only for a short moment, then she started walking again towards the bustling crowd in front.
"I, my concubine, pay my respects to the Emperor."
"Stand up." Wan Lianxing was not surprised by Zhong Siyu's appearance. He was the one who sent people to bring the queen back.
Wan Lianxing frowned when he saw Zhong Siyu. "I give a lot of money to Lingchen Temple every year. Is the food in Lingchen Temple so bad? Look how thin the queen has become. I can hardly recognize her. Someone, please ask the abbot of Lingchen Temple to come. I want to ask him why the monks in the temple are all white and plump, but why the queen has become pale and thin after just one month."
Zhong Siyu tried to dissuade him, "Your Majesty, I eat well and live well in Lingchen Temple, but I am worried about the soldiers on the border and have become pale and thin. It has nothing to do with Lingchen Temple. I beg Your Majesty not to invite the abbot of Lingchen Temple." Zhong Siyu is reasonable. If she can't help others, she won't implicate others. She is like this because of a mental illness, and she believes Wan Lianxing knows something about it.
"The Queen is sensible. I hope there won't be a next time." Wan Lianxing waved his hand, motioning Zhong Siyu to sit down.
Zhu'er looked hesitant when she heard this. Was the emperor making a double entendre? Was he telling the queen not to make mistakes again?
At this time, Princess Zhuoyang asked, "Where is Lingchen Temple?"
Cheng Youning explained, "It's in the same direction as my Prince's Mansion. Do you want to go?"
Although Princess Zhuoyang recovered, her complexion was still very bad, lacking color, and she was a little thinner, but she was very energetic. Most importantly, she sat next to Wan Lianxing with a smile on her face, and said eagerly: "Can I go today? I also want to go to pray for blessings."
"Of course, we'll have a vegetarian meal at noon and come back."
"Is the vegetarian food in Lingchen Temple delicious? How does it compare to the temples in our Dalang Kingdom?"
Cheng Youning thought about it and finally shook his head: "I don't know, I seem to have only eaten the vegetarian food in Lingchen Temple, but it's still quite delicious. I haven't eaten it for a long time, and I miss it a little. Grandma, what is the menu of Lingchen Temple today?"
Zhong Siyu smiled and said, "I'm not sure about that, but there should be the vegetarian grilled tofu that you like."
Cheng Youning grinned and helped pour tea for Zhong Siyu.
"Youning, let's go now." Princess Zhuoyang turned her head and looked at Cheng Youning over Wan Lianxing.
Cheng Youning had no objection: "It's okay to go once. Eating is a small matter. I want to pray for grandpa. Little grandpa, you can go with us. You haven't left the palace for a while."
Wan Lianxing shook the fan in his hand and refused decisively, "I'm not going anywhere." Wan Lianxing would only go to Lingchen Temple on important festivals. On weekdays, he would not go if he could avoid it. Burning incense and worshipping Buddha, meditating and seeking enlightenment, he always stayed at the entry level, making slow progress and low cultivation.
At this time, Princess Zhuoyang took Wan Lianxing's arm and shook it like a spoiled child. "Come on, what's the point of staying in the palace all day? Come with us."
This is so natural!
A month ago, one hated the other, and the other committed suicide for the sake of one. This is all real! Zhong Siyu suspected that she was hallucinating. Could it be that what happened that day was all fake and never happened? When did the relationship between these two people become harmonious... No, it should be said that they are as harmonious as a family. When she sat opposite the two of them, she felt like a restrained outsider.
"I'm leaving the palace, so you can help me review those memorials!"
"I will approve it if you trust me."
Wan Lianxing raised the fan in his hand high and gently placed it on Princess Zhuoyang's forehead, "Women are not allowed to interfere in government affairs. You must know this! You and Youning can go."
Princess Zhuoyang wanted to instigate Wan Lianxing, but unfortunately Wan Lianxing didn't buy her advice.
The two were so intimate and didn't care about the eyes of people around them at all, which made Zhong Siyu, who was facing a great enemy, feel like she was falling into an ice cave.
She had only been away for a month, how come so many things had changed? Didn't Wan Lianxing dislike Princess Zhuoyang? Why did he laugh instead of anger when Princess Zhuoyang hugged his arm? Then what was the point of her, the queen, sitting here? Was she just an outsider watching them laughing and joking?
The sound of bells and jade is like a fishbone stuck in the throat.
She smiled self-deprecatingly in her heart, feeling miserable. What he said about not having the intention to take a concubine and being pure and indifferent to women, now seemed more like a lie to her, Zhong Siyu.
"When did Princess Zhuoyang get better?"
"My Queen, I woke up ten days ago. I wanted to go and pay my respects to you, but I heard from the palace servants that you had gone to Lingchen Temple to pray for the soldiers at the border, so I gave up."
Princess Zhuoyang regarded Zhong Siyu as her love rival. She had no intention of praying for Zhong Siyu and had never asked the palace maids about Zhong Siyu's whereabouts. She didn't even know that Zhong Siyu had left the palace. She only just learned from the conversation between the emperor and Zhong Siyu that Zhong Siyu went to Lingchen Temple to pray for blessings.
Princess Zhuoyang was unyielding in her dedication to Wan Lianxing and she never backed down. Since she had saved her life and avoided having to marry into the southern Yan Kingdom, she believed that it was God helping her. From the moment she opened her eyes, she made up her mind that she would not miss this opportunity to make friends with Wan Lianxing.
In her opinion, Wan Lianxing belongs to her, Princess Zhuoyang, and no one can snatch it from her.
When rivals meet, they should be extremely jealous. The two of them acted exceptionally calm, and so did Zhong Siyu. Her voice was as refreshing as a mountain stream. "It's good that you woke up. If you survive a disaster, you will have good fortune in the future. Rest for a few more days, Princess Zhuoyang will surely look better than before."
"With the Queen's blessing, Zhuoyang will not let down the Emperor and the Queen's kindness."
At this time, Wan Lianxing urged: "Okay, let's go to Lingchen Temple quickly. It may rain today."
Hearing this, Cheng Youning also looked at the sky and said, "It looks like it is really going to rain, but the rain is not heavy. Zhuoyang, we have to hurry out."
Zhuoyang stood up and looked at the sky with them, "Youning, you also know how to observe the sky."
"It's not that difficult. My father taught me to read the sky when I was very young, and I know exactly what he says. Let's go! If we delay for a while, it will rain."
At Cheng Youning's urging, those who wanted to go to Lingchen Temple left.
The ones who stayed behind were Wan Lianxing and Zhong Siyu, as well as a few palace maids serving them.
Zhong Siyu spoke first, "Your Majesty, there is continuous good news from the border. Congratulations to Your Majesty."
Wan Lianxing smiled inexplicably and said, "The victory at the border is also due to the Queen's contribution."
The sarcastic remark made Zhong Siyu unable to raise her head, "I am ashamed and unworthy of this."
Wan Lianxing had no intention of ridiculing Zhong Siyu. Some people would not make the same mistake again if they were taught a lesson. Zhong Siyu was one of those people. He put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Come on, accompany me back to the Yangxin Palace. If you don't leave now, it will rain."
