Palace fight?My dear, she just wants to show off

Chapter 6
Early the next morning, Su Qingqing was woken up by Mrs. Su. In a daze, she heard her mother say that the palace election will be held in three days, but during these three days, the ladies from various families will not be idle.

Some will learn etiquette at home, some will prepare clothes, and some will find ways to be clever. For Su Qingqing, these are not needed, but her mother is still planning to take her to Jian'an Temple.

When she heard about Jian'an Temple, Su Qingqing lost all sleep and asked, "What are you going to do there?"

Jian'an Temple sounds like a temple. Su Qingqing is not interested in this kind of place, and she doesn't believe in the theories of ghosts and gods.

"Of course what I can do is burn incense and worship Buddha." Mrs. Su rolled her eyes at her daughter with a tough attitude.

"Get up."

It is not easy for a daughter to reach this stage, and it is even more difficult to be selected for the palace.

The palace selection all depends on the emperor's preference and his own luck. If he burns incense and worships Buddha, maybe his daughter will pass the palace selection, and then she will be a truly beautiful girl.

"Hurry, stop struggling, mother and brother are waiting for you outside." After saying that, he walked out.

But he stopped when he reached the door.

"Remember to dress modestly."

At this time, Su Qingqing's head was full of black lines. When did her mother become so superstitious? If burning incense worked, what else would everyone do, just worship Buddha.

However, the arm cannot twist the thigh, and the mother has the highest status in the family, above the father, so the mother's decree is the imperial edict, and you must listen even if you don't want to.

"Hey"

With a sigh, Su Qingqing got up quickly.

When Su Qingqing went out, her mother and brother stood at the door waiting for her. When he saw her coming, his brother came over to greet her, touched her head and said:
"You haven't woken up yet, why are you so listless?"

Su Qingqing gave her brother an aggrieved look. Can she wake up after being forced by her mother?

Su Shang smiled and quickly understood what the younger sister meant. She didn't want to go.

Glancing at his mother who was waiting aside, Su Shang spoke calmly.

"When I came back, I heard from my classmates that many beautiful women would go to Jian'an Temple to pray for blessings in the past few days, and they planned to join in the fun."

My younger sister had asked him before if there were any good-looking scholars in the academy and who was better looking than her. She also asked him if there were any good-looking scholars and so on.

Now that he told her that the students from the academy would go, he believed that his sister would not refuse.

Sure enough, Su Qingqing's eyes lit up. She had long wanted to see her brother's classmates. These might be future high officials. If they knew one or two of them, it would be a good thing to tell them in the future.

"really?"

The corners of Su Shang's lips curled up, knowing that her sister liked the excitement.

"Of course, it's not just that. There is food and fun there. You will definitely like it."

My younger sister has liked watching beautiful men and eating delicious food since she was a child. She will definitely not be able to walk when she hears the delicious food.

Su Qingqing's eyes brightened when she heard the delicious food, and her stomach growled in time.

"Gollum, Gollum"

"Puchi, I know you didn't use breakfast. Mother has already prepared food for you. Let's go to the carriage to eat."

Su Shang Chongrong spoke and then pulled Su Qingqing into the carriage.

Soon, the group arrived at Jian'an Temple, and it was indeed crowded.

At this time, they happened to be at the foot of the mountain. There were many hawkers, but most of them were incense, mixed with some selling other things.

Su Qingqing's nose twitched and she walked straight to a pastry stall.

The person selling the higher prices was an old woman, accompanied by a little girl.

Seeing someone coming, the little girl smiled happily, and the two pear dimples on her face were particularly beautiful.

"Sister, do you want to buy pastries? Our pastries are very delicious. If they are not delicious, there is no charge."

"Really? What if I eat it and say it doesn't taste good?" Su Qingqing was in a good mood and deliberately teased the little girl. "Sister, she is a good person at first glance. She will definitely not be like this. I am a good judge of people."

"hehe"

Unexpectedly, the little girl had such a sweet mouth, Su Qingqing couldn't help laughing.

Then she looked at the stall, which was not big. There were two kinds of cakes, one was osmanthus cake and the other was mung bean cake. Both of these cakes were her favorites and they looked good.

"How do you sell them?"

"It's very cheap, three cents each." The little girl answered truthfully.

Su Qingqing thought it was very cheap. The pastries she had eaten in the capital before had cost two people. Seeing that there were not many left at the stall, she simply said:

"Wrap it all up for me!"

"Okay, thank you sister for taking care of the business."

Then the little girl installed them piece by piece. "The total is 20 yuan. If you buy more, I will give you one piece for sixty yuan."

Su Qingqing took the things and smiled gently at the little girl, "Xia'er checked out."

Seeing that the young lady was happy, Xia'er was not stingy and took out a piece of silver.

"keep the change."

Originally, Su Qingqing planned to go shopping again, but was stopped by her third brother.

"My mother said that I am here to worship Buddha today. If I don't leave, my mother will be angry."

Su Shang was very helpless. His sister was already 17 years old and still looked like a child.

After hearing what her brother said, Su Qingqing remembered the purpose of coming today, smiled apologetically in the direction of her mother, and quickly pulled the two maids up the mountain for fear of being scolded.

But when Su Qingqing looked at the countless steps, she wanted to die. Wouldn't this cost her her life?My legs hurt just thinking about it, and I secretly thought that it would be great if there were modern elevator tracks here. It's a pity, I don't know how many years it will take to realize it.

Seeing her brother and mother on the side already starting to crawl, Su Qingqing resigned herself to her fate and climbed up.

Su Qingqing rested countless times along the way, and her legs were no longer on her own, so they successfully climbed up the mountain.

“It’s finally here”

"You always ask your brother to exercise. Don't just focus on academics. Why don't you exercise when you come here?" Su Shangshang said calmly, and then handed Su Qingqing a kettle.

Su Qingqing was not polite, opened the kettle and took a few sips.

Mrs. Su on the side was not much better. She was supported by a maid. After all, she was older and her physical strength was not as good as that of the young people, but she still gritted her teeth and came up.

After resting for a while, Mrs. Su felt that she was alive.

But she felt it was all worth it for her daughter.

When they arrived in front of the Buddha statue, Mrs. Su specifically whispered to Su Qingqing.

"Be sincere, and sincerity will lead to spiritual success."

After saying that, he bowed to himself, leaving Su Qingqing alone in front of the Buddha.

However, she didn't want to be selected, so she didn't listen to her mother. She changed her wish to peace and happiness for her family.

Soon a few people came out. It was still early and Su's mother planned to pay homage to other Buddhist schools. Su Qingqing didn't want to go and planned to go shopping, so Su's mother let her go. As for Su Shang, who was worried about her mother, she stayed with Mrs. Su. .

It was early autumn, and the weather was still very hot. Su Qingqing just walked for a while and then couldn't walk anymore. Looking at a pavilion not far away, Su Qingqing planned to go there and sit.

But unfortunately, there were already people inside.

Su Qingqing originally planned to change places, but before it left, she heard an exclamation coming from the pavilion:
"Madam, don't scare me! What's wrong with you? Someone, please come quickly!"
