After Princess Xuanxue came down from the mountain, the whole capital was in chaos.

Chapter 35 She doesn’t deserve you

Jiang Zhengqing dreamed of Du Haitang crying with him all night, and he couldn't drive him away.

Early in the morning, he sent someone to deliver a message to Xiangli Mingzhu, asking the eminent monk to come to his home to offer salvation to Du Haitang.

Xiangli Mingzhu didn't sleep well either. She had nightmares all night long. She dreamed that she was being strangled and chased for several streets by a ghost with a long tongue. She felt more tired after sleeping all night than working all day.

She also felt that her home was unclean and it was necessary to invite eminent monks to do the rituals at home.

The carriage, servants, maids, and guards were all busy before dawn. When Yuan Qi went out to set up a stall, he happened to meet Xiangli Mingzhu and set off.

Xiangli Mingzhu stared at Yuan Qi through the car window, recalling that since Yuan Qi came back, there has been no peace at home, either this or that. She felt that Yuan Qi might be an evil star, and it was best to let Master Huineng of Wuxiang Temple take a look. If she is really evil, leave her in the temple and don't come back.

She scolded him angrily: "If you run out every day, what are you going to do?"

Yuan Qi pursed his lips and snorted, and reluctantly stepped forward to salute: "To tell you what my mother is saying, I just went out for a walk. I have been in the mountains for the past few years and have never seen what Kyoto is like. I just went to open my eyes."

Xiangli Mingzhu did not suspect that Yuan Qi was lying, and said angrily: "Don't go, get in the car, and follow me to Wuxiang Temple."

She raised her eyebrows slightly: "Let Master Huineng take a look to see if you are evil. Otherwise, why would troubles continue to happen in the house after you come back?"

Yuan Qi curled his lips obediently, pretending not to hear Xiangli Mingzhu's vicious words: "Okay, just go."

She looked towards the back. There were two carriages, one was Xiangli Mingzhu. Looking through the window, there were Jiang Bailu and Jiang Truffle inside.

There was another car behind her, and she walked over without thinking.

In the car were Li Guiyu and Jiang Jiulu. Behind the car were three brothers, Jiang Juncai, Jiang Junjing and Jiang Junyu, who were riding horses.

Haha, let’s go with the whole family, it’s so lively!

Wuxiang Temple is not far from Kyoto, and it only takes more than an hour for the carriage to arrive.

Wuxiang Temple is a royal temple with prosperous incense and numerous pilgrims. There is an endless stream of people in front of the Main Hall.

Yuan Qi followed slowly at the end. Everyone else was surrounded by servants, and she was alone and unattended.

But she didn't care.

The Jiang family is also a frequent visitor here. Mrs. Bai stays at Wuxiang Temple for a few days every year to pray and chant sutras, and donates a lot of money for sesame oil.

If Mrs. Bai hadn't recovered yet, she would have come this time.

"Master Yuanjue and Master Huineng can be in the temple."

Yuanjue is a middle-aged monk with nine ring scars on his head, which is a symbol of a successful monk.

Yuanjue clasped his hands together: "Female donor, the abbot is in the temple."

Yuan Qi was leaning against the door and did not come forward to kneel down. He just bowed to Yuan Jue, and Yuan Jue said to her: "Infinite Heavenly Lord, congratulations to the little Heavenly Master for recognizing his ancestor and returning to the sect."

The Jiang family were a little surprised. It seemed that Yuan Qi was very familiar with this place.

Sure enough, Yuan Qi's next sentence shocked everyone's jaws: "You're welcome, are you okay, old monk Huineng?"

Huineng...old monk?
  Who dares to call it that?
  Xiangli Mingzhu immediately scolded: "How dare you be so rude and not come over to apologize to the Buddha?"

Yuanjue said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, the little Celestial Master has always been called that. The abbot is very good, and the little Celestial Master is thinking of me."

Although Xiangli Mingzhu could see that Yuan Jue was very friendly to Yuan Qi, she still felt that Yuan Qi was uneducated and unbecoming, so she sincerely apologized to Yuan Jue.

She also respected the master of Wuxiang Temple and scolded Yuan Qi: "Did you hear that? Why don't you come over to apologize?"

"Little Heavenly Master?" A black figure directly blocked Xiangli Mingzhu's sight. “Little Master Jiu?” Yuan Qi smiled, ignored Xiangli Mingzhu, and went to talk to Xiangli Youming in a place with few people.

Xiangli Mingzhu shouted angrily: "This is really unreasonable!"

She turned around to apologize to Yuanjue, and then talked about meeting the abbot Huineng.

"Unfortunately, the abbot is currently receiving guests, and the female donor has to wait a while."

After saying that, Yuanjue went to entertain other pilgrims.

Xiangli Mingzhu had no choice but to wait with Li Gui and the children.

Jiang Bailu felt uncomfortable when she saw Yuan Qi and Xiang Li Youming talking and laughing.

Jiang Trulu also looked at him eagerly, and whispered to Jiang Bailu in a low voice: "She has only been here a few days and has already met Xiao Jiuye, and she doesn't know how she seduced him."

Jiang Bailu felt angry in her heart. The more she looked at Yuan Qi, the more she disliked him. She pulled Jiang Juncai to the side and said, "Brother, don't you have a good relationship with the Xiangli family? Take us over to say a few words to Mr. Jiujiu?"

She planned to go over and ridicule Yuan Qi, let Xiao Jiuye know that Yuan Qi was a shady concubine, and see if Xiaojiu Ye was willing to continue talking to Yuan Qi.

Jiang Juncai thought about it and found out that the fourth sister was engaged to His Highness the Crown Prince, but the sixth sister was not yet engaged. Although the sixth sister was a concubine and was not qualified to be Xiao Jiuye's wife, it was still possible to become a concubine.

What if Xiaojiuye falls in love with Sixth Sister?
  Even if you look down on it, there is nothing to lose.

After all, he is also the commander of the Forbidden Army, and he still has some respect in Kyoto.

"Walk."

Jiang Bailu and Jiang Truffle were very proud.

Jiang Trulu also pouted at Jiang Jiulu.

Jiang Jiulu snorted lightly, her voice not too loud or too sarcastic: "Maybe Little Master Jiu doesn't want to be disturbed."

Over there, by a pool of water, Yuan Qi was looking at the turtle in the book. The big turtle was carrying a small turtle on its back, motionless.

Xiangli Youming said warmly: "Isn't it okay if I don't run away from now on? Can you just ask me to go to your house to propose marriage?"

Yuan Qi turned around and asked him in a very funny way: "I'm only nine and a half years old. Little Master Jiu, isn't it too early to talk about this?"

Xiangli Youming scratched his head in embarrassment: "I mean, I will marry you in the future. You promise me first, and then you can't marry anyone else."

Yuan Qi shook his head: "You said it too early. What if you meet a better woman than me in the future? You will definitely regret your decision at that time. Let's talk about this kind of thing later."

Xiangli Youming's tone was very annoyed. He felt that Yuan Qi looked down on him and disliked him for being so sick and might die that day, so he refused.

"I know I'm useless..."

"Little Master Jiu." Jiang Juncai came over with his two younger sisters and greeted him with a smile.

Xiangli Youming was interrupted and his mood became even worse. He glanced at the three of them coldly, took Yuan Qi's hand and left.

Jiang Trulu was unwilling to give in and reminded Xiang Li Youming loudly: "She is the daughter of our Jiang family, Xiaojiu Ye, she is not worthy of you!"

"Pah!" Jiang Trulu was slapped in the air, and he didn't even know who slapped him.

Xiangli Youming didn't look back, as if he hadn't heard.

Jiang Trulu wanted to remind her again, but Jiang Juncai took her hand and said, "That's enough. Little Master Jiu's attitude has been made very clear."
