Under the warm sunshine, the carriages from each government came out.
This was supposed to be an ordinary day, but it turned out to be a strange and exciting event. The streets were full of carriages going to Daxiangguo Temple.
Not only the female family members, but also the men of the mansion were accompanying the carriage.
Although there are many wealthy families in the capital, and there are also many high-ranking officials and nobles, it is indeed rare to see so many of them in such a large number.
There were people watching the excitement along the way. Some of them who knew a little bit about it were pointing out the country. That one was from the Changxing Marquis Mansion, that one was from the Princess Changzhu Mansion, that one was from the Jinxiang Marquis Mansion...
Even the surrounding teahouses and restaurants have seen their number of customers increase several times compared to the past. You must know that this is the first time since the Holy Eucharist that the business has been so good.
Qiao Yuyan couldn't help but sneer in her heart, it was obviously something that should be shouldered.
The one lying in the palace is the co-lord of the world, and now it has become a stage for the brother and sister to show off.
Looking at the crowds on both sides of the street, there is no sign of sadness at all. So, does the one above know?
Qiao Yuyan waited for a while on the outskirts of the city. It wasn't until Qiao Yurong's carriage came over that the two sisters went to Daxiangguo Temple together.
The places where the female relatives of each palace will live have been designated a few days ago, and the fifth prince specially transferred fifty young eunuchs from the palace to coordinate and take care of them.
Qiao Yuyan took advantage of her discomfort to avoid right and wrong, and went to her own courtyard first like the other female family members.
Just after packing up, Qiao Yurong came over, "Sister, grandma asked me to bring you a message."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was shocked, "What's wrong with you? Why are you so ugly?"
"It's okay, it's just a minor problem. It'll be fine in two days." Qiao Yuyan didn't say it directly, but just said it casually.
Qiao Yurong glanced out the window and lowered her voice, "Grandma asked me to tell you that although this matter is a matter of publicity, the situation in the palace is complicated and unknown to outsiders. You must be careful and would rather take a step back.
No further."
When Qiao Yuyan looked at her cousin, she suddenly felt as if a girl had grown up in our family.
She stretched out her hand and pinched Qiao Yurong's face, and also lowered her voice very low, "I know, how do you think I got this thing?"
Qiao Yurong was taken aback again, "No way! Are you so... desperate? If there are scars... my brother-in-law won't like it!"
Qiao Yuyan immediately blushed at her words, but the person who spoke was completely unaware, as if she didn't even know what shocking words she had said.
"You are a girl who has not yet left the court, so you are not afraid of asking people to listen!"
The two sisters were laughing and joking, and suddenly they heard a voice outside the yard and thought, "The sixth brother and sister are still comfortable. This rash comes at the right time, but we are not so lucky. We have to help take care of it from the front!"
Qiao Yurong frowned. Unexpectedly, before she spoke, Qiao Yuyan smiled and said outside the window: "Then I have to trouble my third sister-in-law to put two more sticks of incense for me, so that I can show my loyalty to the Holy One. How much?"
It's also my intention, although it's not as tiring as my third sister-in-law."
When Mrs. Zhou heard her sarcasm, she took a deep breath in her chest. Without saying anything else, she flicked the handkerchief and left.
"Are all your sisters-in-law so difficult to get along with?" Seeing her walking away, Qiao Yurong asked dissatisfiedly.
"Eat something to cushion your stomach first, because you won't be able to eat anything in the afternoon," Qiao Yuyan pushed the dessert plate to her, "This kind of thing happens everywhere, so don't ruin your mood."
Just as Qiao Yuyan said, the lunch at noon was just a hasty meal of vegetarian food, which was very different from the usual days when the women of various families came specifically to offer incense.
Everyone comes out of their own homes, and it is inevitable that they cannot accept it at this time, and most of them just put it down after a few casual mouthfuls.
In the afternoon, the venue for the ritual has been set up, and all the female relatives will recite scriptures with the abbot master.
There are a total of one hundred and eight volumes, and the words are so crooked that one will feel drowsy when reading them.
Even though the sun was perfect, it was really uncomfortable to sit on this futon without moving for half the afternoon.
After listening to Qiao Yuyan's words, Qiao Yurong secretly took some candied fruit in her purse, and put it in her sleeve pocket with the bag open. She would take one out from time to time, which could quench her thirst and relieve her fatigue. It was not so difficult.
It is difficult for others. Some ladies who have not moved much all year round will look pale and swaying when they come down in the afternoon.
In the evening, there was another vegetarian meal. Although this time there was enough time and it was better than at noon, it was still unappetizing.
But in the evening, I still had to listen to the lectures by the master in the temple. After all this trouble, I came back to wash up, and it was already Haishi.
Even though Qiao Yuyan was prepared, she was still very tired. When she came back, she didn't bother to be as refined as she was at home. She just freshened up and went to bed.
Before dawn the next day, the bell rang, and everyone had to do morning prayers with the monks.
I don’t know who made this blessing ceremony, it’s simply torture.
Qiao Yuyan heard many people complaining, but the host was the fifth prince and princess, so no one dared to really complain.
The fifth prince participated in the ceremony in the morning. He was dressed in the official uniform of a prince, bowed three times, and walked up the ninety-nine steps.
This was the first time Qiao Yuyan saw the fifth prince, and it was different from what he imagined.
In Qiao Yuyan's view, as a prince, one of the most noble people in the world, he should be noble, at least as noble as Prince Ruan.
However, this was not the case in fact. Qiao Yuyan only felt that there was a bit of twilight and some shrewd calculations in this person.
She doesn't like this person.
This was Qiao Yuyan's first thought, but after thinking about it, judging from the development of his previous life, this person failed to ascend the throne in the end, and she seemed to feel a little more comfortable.
The Fifth Prince also recited a prayer, which was his prayer to God. Of course, the content of the prayer was naturally about the Holy Emperor's illness.
This morning was equally long, but perhaps seeing the current prince standing on it without ever sitting down made the suffering seem more bearable.
After the morning ceremony was completed, to everyone's surprise, the fifth prince actually stayed to eat with everyone.
Just because men and women are different and it is inconvenient for them to live in the same room, they are divided into two houses: inner and outer.
After walking in, everyone noticed that her eyes were red and her expression was haggard. She was obviously very worried, which fully reflected the concern of a filial child for her long-ill father.
Naturally, this was another wave of good reputation, and it soon spread rapidly starting from Daxiangguo Temple.
But this good reputation had only spread for a day before something interrupted it.
