Pei Shi still had a lingering fear of Ye Zhen's almost assassination in Huguo Temple last time. When the Xu family's house was confiscated, she personally went to Huguo Temple to redeem her vow. Now that her daughter was back, she felt that she should go and offer incense again.
"Mother, I want to go to the medicine field today." Ye Zhen whispered. She didn't want to go to Huguo Temple very much.
"You can go to the medicine field at any time. Today, the abbot of Huguo Temple is in a good mood. Let's offer incense. Last time, you were blessed by him."
Ye Zhen said helplessly, "Okay, okay, I'll accompany you."
Pei Shi glanced at her and asked the servant girl to prepare the carriage.
Lu Shiming came in from outside with a letter in his hand. "What's the matter? Are you going out? "
"Father, you came back so early today. Aren't you going to play chess with Xu Lao?" Ye Zhen asked with a smile when she saw him.
Because Ding You was at home, Lu Shiming had nothing to do on weekdays. Once, he went to the chess club in the capital and happened to meet Xu Lao who was passing by. After playing a game together, they became friends. Now, Lu Shiming goes to the Xu family every day.
However, they all went after lunch. In the morning, Xu Lao was not at home.
"I didn't go to play chess today. I received a letter from Lord Ye in the morning." Lu Shiming said.
Ye Zhen was slightly startled. "Ah?"
"Lord Ye should arrive in the capital in two days." Lu Shiming said with a smile, "He should be here for your marriage."
"…" Was her father here to stop her from marrying Mo Rongzhan?
Pei Shi said, "Lord Ye can't live in Honglu Temple this time. Should we invite Lord Ye to live in our house?"
"Mother, have you forgotten? The Emperor has already returned the original Ye Family Mansion to Father. This time, when Father returns, he should be living there." The Ye Family Mansion had been sealed for two years. It was finally back.
She and her father didn't care about the Ye family's mansion, but the courtyard they lived in was personally designed by her father. She really liked it and couldn't bear to give this mansion to others, letting them ruin her father's painstaking efforts in the future.
Mo Rongzhan should be able to see her mind.
"Father, what did my father say in his letter?" Ye Zhen asked curiously.
Lu Shiming said, "That's all. There's nothing else. I'm just here to tell you that you're not going out with your mother, are you? Go ahead."
Pei shi nodded. "That's right. Lord Ye won't be back in two days. Let's go to Hu Guo Temple first."
Ye Zhen could only say, "Okay."
It didn't take long for them to arrive at Huguo Temple, but when Pei Shi and Ye Zhen arrived, it happened to be the most crowded time. However, Ye Zhen still carefully found something different.
"Mother, have you noticed that there seem to be a lot of soldiers at the foot of Huguo Temple Mountain?" Ye Zhen looked suspicious. She had just seen a lot of soldiers along the way.
Pei Shi had been sitting in the carriage the whole time. Unlike Ye Rou, who was leaning against the window, she did not notice anything different. "You must have seen wrongly."
By the time they entered Hu Guo Temple, they found out that the Empress Dowager had specially come today to fulfill her vow.
"The Empress Dowager is in Hu Guo Temple now?" Ye Zhen asked the little monk who came to greet them in surprise. If the Empress Dowager came to fulfill her vow, why didn't she let people stop the people who came to offer incense at the foot of the mountain? Not to mention the various stalls outside Hu Guo Temple. It was so lively that no one would have guessed that the Empress Dowager would be inside today.
The little monk whispered, "Yes, Miss Lu is not here to see the Empress Dowager?"
Ye Zhen was stunned for a moment. It turned out that this little monk thought she was here to see the Empress Dowager, so he told her that the Empress Dowager was here.
She didn't know that the Empress Dowager would come to Hu Guo Temple today. If she had known, she would not have come.
"Yao Yao …" Pei Shi gently pulled her sleeve. "The Empress Dowager is here. Shouldn't you go and pay your respects?"
Ye Zhen whispered, "The Empress Dowager may not want to see us."
The Empress Dowager was not as good as she used to be. Maybe she didn't want to see her at all.
As soon as she finished speaking, a little monk hurried over. "Miss Lu, the Empress Dowager invites you to the back hall."
Ye Zhen was stunned. The Empress Dowager knew she was coming so soon?
"Mother?" Ye Zhen turned to look at Pei Shi.
Pei Shi whispered, "Then go and pay your respects to the Empress Dowager."
…
…
At this time, the Empress Dowager in the back hall did not look very good.
She did not expect that Lu Yaoyao would come to Hu Guo Temple today. Did she deliberately come to see her?
"Empress Dowager, this servant has sent someone to invite the princess." Aunt Cheng whispered, her eyes looking at the change in the Empress Dowager's expression. When she learned that the princess had also come to Hu Guo Temple, she obviously found that the Empress Dowager was very unhappy.
It was just a coincidence. No one knew that the Empress Dowager came to Hu Guo Temple, nor did the abbot seal the temple. What was the Empress Dowager unhappy about?
"She always appears when she doesn't want to see her." The Empress Dowager said coldly. Lu Yaoyao's appearance ruined all her plans today. She must not let Lu Yaoyao know about it.
Aunt Cheng was shocked. Did the Empress Dowager dislike the princess so much?
The Empress Dowager frowned and said, "Let Yao Yao come here."
After saying that, she gave a look to one of the palace maids beside her, and that palace maid quietly retreated.
Not long after, Pei Shi and Ye Zhen came over.
"This subject greets the Empress Dowager."
"This subject greets the Empress Dowager."
The Empress Dowager glanced at the two of them and smiled. "Get up. Why did you come to Hu Guo Temple today?"
Pei Shi said with a smile, "Replying to the Empress Dowager, this subject brought Yao Yao here last year to pray for blessings. Although I have fulfilled my vows, Yao Yao has just returned. I wanted to bring her here to offer incense. I didn't expect to meet the Empress Dowager."
"Oh?" The Empress Dowager glanced at Ye Zhen. "Yao Yao, what did you ask for?"
"Replying to the Empress Dowager, this subject's daughter only asks for peace and smoothness, nothing else." Ye Zhen replied in a low voice.
The Empress Dowager nodded faintly. "Aijia has fulfilled her vows today. You mother and daughter go to offer incense."
Pei Shi had seen the Empress Dowager's love for Lu Yaoyao before. Seeing the Empress Dowager's indifference today, the impact in her heart was not small. It was not easy for her to restrain herself from turning to look at her daughter. "Yes, then we will not disturb you."
"Go." The Empress Dowager nodded. She was willing to let them come to see her, which was already giving her enough face.
Pei Shi took Ye Zhen out of the back hall. The mother and daughter walked all the way to the front hall before slowing down.
"Mother, are you all right?" Ye Zhen had long guessed the Empress Dowager's attitude towards her, but Pei Shi looked a little surprised.
"Yao Yao, did you make the Empress Dowager unhappy?" Pei Shi looked at Ye Zhen nervously. They haven't entered the palace yet, but the Empress Dowager seems to dislike seeing Yao Yao. What should she do when she enters the palace in the future?
Ye Zhen smiled helplessly. "Mother, I am no longer a princess. How can the Empress Dowager still love me like a daughter?" The impact in her heart was not small. It was not easy for her to restrain herself from turning to look at her daughter. "Yes, then we will not disturb you, Empress Dowager."
"Go." The Empress Dowager nodded. She was willing to let them come to see her, which was already giving her enough face.
Pei Shi took Ye Zhen out of the back hall. The mother and daughter walked all the way to the front hall before slowing down.
"Mother, are you all right?" Ye Zhen had long guessed the Empress Dowager's attitude towards her, but Pei Shi looked a little surprised.
"Yao Yao, did you make the Empress Dowager unhappy?" Pei Shi looked at Ye Zhen nervously. They haven't entered the palace yet, but the Empress Dowager seems to dislike seeing Yao Yao very much. What if she enters the palace in the future?
Ye Zhen smiled helplessly and said, "Mother, I am no longer a princess. How can the Empress Dowager still love me like a daughter?"
