Su Tang looked so embarrassed that he wanted to crawl into the ground. The princess turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Su Tang blushed and said, "I don't know, but my hand suddenly shook..."
The princess knew that Su Tang had always been steady, so she said, "It's okay if it's not permed. My mother will copy it in a while."
In previous years, the princess would copy Buddhist scriptures for an hour. There were many people accompanying her today, and it was difficult to keep everyone here with her for such a long time. The princess only planned to copy three chapters.
Su Tang cleared the table and then went to wash her hands. After all, the tea was poisonous. As soon as she went out, Banxia walked towards her with shining eyes, "Prince Concubine, I have asked you to find out clearly."
Su Tang then asked, "Who lit the other ever-burning lamp?"
Banxia grinned, "I ordered it for the prince."
Su Tang was stunned. She had never thought that the princess would light the lantern for the prince. The princess didn't even light it for herself.
Lighting the eternal lantern is to hope that the other person will live a long life and have no worries every year. It is normal for the princess to light it for Xie Boting. A mother loves her son, but what about the prince?
The princess' attitude towards the prince has always been very cold.
Seeing Su Tang's surprised look, Banxia told everything she heard, "I heard from the young monk at Jokhang Temple that the princess has been lighting the eternal lantern for the prince for twenty years and for the prince for eighteen years."
The everlasting lanterns in Jokhang Temple are very expensive.
It costs one tael of silver a day.
Therefore, not many people in Kyoto light everlasting lanterns. Most of them light one for the old lady in their house as a sign of filial piety.
The princess not only lit the eternal lamp for the prince, but also for eighteen years. Although three hundred and sixty-five taels of silver a year is nothing to a person of the princess's status, what is precious is this heart, at least on the birthday of the princess.
One day, she hoped that the prince would live as long as Xie Boting.
Su Tang is already sure that the prince likes the princess, but don't tell her that the princess also likes the prince.
The two people have liked each other for a long time, but they don't know each other's feelings and even torture each other...
This is too miserable.
Su Tang washed her hands clean. At that time, the princess and the others came out. The weather was good and it would be some time before the fast meal. The fourth wife suggested taking a walk around. The second wife and the third wife had no objection.
Princess Nankang, who was used to being surrounded by stars and people, didn't have the patience to follow the princess. She said, "I'm still busy choosing a dowry for Rou'er, so I'll go back first."
The third wife said, "It will be lunch in less than half an hour. It is a rare trip. There is no need to go back in such a hurry. It will not take more than half an hour to prepare the dowry."
When copying Buddhist scriptures, Princess Nankang regretted not leaving earlier. Why should she, the majestic Princess of Nankang, condescend to accompany the princess to the Jokhang Temple to pray for blessings? Accompanying her for such a long time has already given her the princess's face.
Princess Nankang said, "Rou'er is getting married soon. I can't wait to split one day into two. When Rou'er gets married, I will have plenty of time to come to the Jokhang Temple to offer incense and pray for blessings."
Except for the third wife, no one tried to persuade Princess Nankang to stay. After saying this, Princess Nankang walked away.
But after walking a few steps, a maid ran over and said breathlessly, "Princess, it's not good, your carriage has been robbed."
Princess Nankang's face suddenly turned green, "The carriage can also be robbed? Where is the boy, aren't you watching?!"
The maid said, "The boy in charge of your carriage has a stomachache and needs to go. A man with sinister features approached the carriage. When the boys were not paying attention, he got on the shaft and drove away in your carriage. The boy had already gone after him.
..."
I'm going to chase him, but I don't know if I can catch him.
Princess Nankang was so angry that she was trembling all over. Prince Jingnan was traveling with nine carriages all at once. Hers was not the most luxurious one, nor the most ordinary one. The thieves would not snatch anyone's carriage, but hers.
Princess Nankang only felt extremely unlucky.
And there is no carriage, how can she go back?!
The maid spoke loudly, and from such a distance, Su Tang could feel the anger and embarrassment of Princess Nankang.
The third wife walked over and said, "Since the young man has already gone after him, he will definitely be able to catch the carriage back. Just wait patiently at the Jokhang Temple for a while."
Besides waiting, what else could she do? This chapter has been completed!
