Chapter 235 Liao Cha takes action, a trap
Xiao Yan'an returned to the Duke's Mansion with a bunch of new things he had collected from outside and went straight to find Ji Chuhe.
He placed the things on the table in front of Ji Chuhe, and said as if presenting a treasure: "Madam, look, I found so many interesting things, which are not available in Huaiyang."
He was like a cautious child, afraid that he would not be able to please Ji Chuhe at all.
Ji Chuhe picked up a few and looked at them, then nodded and responded, "They are indeed quite interesting."
He turned around and instructed Mianzhu, "Go and call Aunt Xu and Aunt Dong over. The prince has brought back so many goodies, let them come and pick some."
"Yes." Mianzhu immediately took the order and left.
"Madam, which one do you like best? You pick first." Xiao Yan'an gave all these to Ji Chuhe, but since Ji Chuhe had already said it, he was embarrassed to refuse.
Ji Chuhe picked up a bamboo fan with two koi fish painted on it with special paint. They looked lifelike, showing his great painting skills.
"I'll choose this one." Ji Chuhe picked it up and fanned it a few times, seeming to like it very much.
"Madam, do you want this one? Look at this one. This is a famous calligraphy and painting."
"One is enough." Ji Chuhe turned the fan in his hand and liked it more and more the more he looked at it.
"Madam, the imperial capital is so much fun. These past few days, my cousins have taken me around to play. When I have time one day, I want to take you out for a walk."
"Let's talk about it later." Ji Chuhe did not agree.
She doesn't want to go out.
Especially going to places that were familiar to you before.
There were memories there that she didn't want to touch. She was afraid, thinking of Yu'er's cold body.
Xiao Yanan's smile froze.
"Madam, don't you feel bored reading in your room every day?"
"It's not boring. The book has everything I want."
"Prince!" Xu Yan'er's voice sounded anxiously.
Then, he ran to Xiao Yan'an like a gust of wind and hugged his arm.
"Prince, I finally see you. I was wrong last time. I shouldn't have talked back to you. Please forgive Yan'er."
As Xu Yan'er spoke, she couldn't control her tears from flowing out.
"Okay, stop crying. It's okay as long as you understand the logic behind this." Xiao Yan'an pulled his arm out of Xu Yan'er's hand.
He was no longer used to such unruly behavior.
It doesn’t feel awkward when we are alone, but it just feels inappropriate when we are outside.
"Prince." Dong Ling called softly, bowed and stood behind Ji Chuhe.
Xiao Yan'an couldn't help but glance at Dong Ling.
It feels like Dong Ling has become a different person. Not only has her dressing style changed, but her temperament has also changed. This is all thanks to Ji Chuhe, who taught Dong Ling very well.
He wanted to hand Xu Yan'er over to Ji Chuhe for teaching, but he was too embarrassed to speak up.
Forget it, let him teach himself.
Don't cause trouble for the lady.
"These are the gifts brought back by the prince. Take a look and pick whatever you like." Ji Chuhe pointed to the things on the table.
Xu Yan'er's eyes suddenly lit up, "Madam, can you pick whatever you want?"
"Okay." Ji Chuhe responded softly.
Dong Ling looked at the things on the table and showed no interest.
Xu Yan'er picked things with great interest, not being polite at all, and wished she could take all of them away.
This was bought by the prince, and she didn't want to share it with others.
Xiao Yan'an frowned as he looked at her like this, "Xu Yan'er, you've picked so many, isn't that enough? Dong Ling didn't pick any, so you picked them all!"
Xu Yan'er was scolded, and her face looked a little unhappy. Didn't the prince never take Dong Ling seriously before? Why is he still concerned about Dong Ling now?
"It's okay, Prince, let Aunt Xu choose." Dong Ling replied politely.
"Xu Yan'er, look how well Dong Ling knows the rules. You should learn from Dong Ling."
Xu Yan'er put down the things in her hand with a "pop"!
"Prince, you dislike me, don't you? You don't like me anymore, so you don't like anything about me. Now even Dong Ling is better than me in your eyes!"
Xiao Yanan was anxious. He was clearly teaching Xu Yaner the rules, so why was she still angry? And she even said such words!
Ji Chuhe had a headache. It was as if these two people were in a different world.
Xiao Yan'an looked at Ji Chuhe, and Ji Chuhe immediately looked away.
It's clear that he doesn't want to get involved in what's going on between them.
"Prince, why don't you talk to Aunt Xu alone? There must be a misunderstanding between you two. Please communicate well." Dong Ling suggested.
She really didn't want these two people to bother the lady here.
Xu Yan'er turned and walked out.
Xiao Yanan looked at her background and said angrily, "Look at her attitude. She just left without any rules."
Ji Chuhe didn't respond, and Dong Ling didn't say anything either.
Xiao Yan'an felt embarrassed and stood up to chase after him.
"Madam, the prince and Aunt Xu used to be unable to live without each other, how come it has become like this now?"
"What I hope most is that they can always remain the same as they were at the beginning." Ji Chuhe sighed.
God knows, how wonderful it would be if there was a concubine in the inner house who pleased the husband!
Xiao Yan'an and Xu Yan'er parted unhappily again.
The two of them fell into a cold war.
Until the day when the Duke's Mansion went to Lingyun Temple to burn incense, the two had not reconciled.
This time, the incense-burning ceremony at the Duke's Mansion was organized by the First Lady Liao.
There were nearly a hundred people including several ladies, Ji Chuhe, the concubines in their respective courtyards, and servants.
Lingyun Temple also made preparations early.
The incense money from the Rongguo Mansion has always been generous.
Ji Chuhe got off the carriage and the scene he saw was not unfamiliar.
In her previous life, she had been to Lingyun Temple several times.
I didn't ask for anything, I just wanted to sit in the temple, listen to the sound of the little monk ringing the bell, and smell the scent of incense.
Once they arrived at the temple, everyone dispersed and went to worship according to their different requests.
Ji Chuhe came to a pond in the yard without saying a word.
There were purple water lilies blooming in the pond. In the center of the pond, there were several large stones, on top of which stood a statue of Guanyin.
Familiar scenes inevitably bring up sad memories.
"Mother!"
See, I was hallucinating.
She actually heard You'er calling her.
In her previous life, she brought You'er to Lingyun Temple, and he liked it very much.
In the past, she also loved to stand here. The temple bell was in the attic above.
You'er just stayed with her obediently.
"Donor." Suddenly, someone called out.
Ji Chuhe turned around and saw an old man in a tattered monk's robe walking slowly towards him.
Ji Chuhe knew this person.
But, we knew each other in the previous life.
"Donor, do you have any request in mind when you come to Lingyun Temple today?"
Ji Chuhe looked surprised!
This was the question the master would ask her every time he saw her in her previous life!
She shook her head blankly.
All regrets are in the past life.
In this life, no.
The regrets of the previous life cannot be realized in this life.
So, what’s the point of asking?
"Donor, your wish will come true." The master put his hands together and said, "Amitabha."
Ji Chuhe felt a lump in her throat as she watched the master leave. She almost cried.
She calmed herself down, slowly turned around, and bowed to the Bodhisattva in the water.
If you really want something.
Then she prayed that her Yu'er could be reborn and live a safe and happy life.
"Madam!" Xiang Zhu walked over quickly, her face looking unhappy, and she seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
"What happened?"
"Your Highness, Your Highness and Miss Liao... I can't explain it clearly! Madam, please go and take a look!"
