Chapter 11 Entering the incense and praying for blessings

Xiao Shumou and Xiao Ranjun's return to the Prime Minister's mansion is a big event for the Xiao family, so the Prime Minister's mansion sweeps away the haze of Xiao Lingxiao's unsmooth marriage before, redecorated the festive appearance, and held banquets to celebrate for three days. The rest of the Xiao family attended these wedding banquets, but the old lady and Xiao Shuyong did not allow Xiao Lingxiao to attend.

Xiao Lingxiao was very happy and quiet. While other people in the house were busy and didn't have time to trouble her these days, she took Bao Ronger and the wolf to sneak out to buy a lot of clothes. It happened that Xiao Shumou and Xiao Ranjun deliberately sent a lot of things, so Xiao Lingxiao suddenly became rich and became the favorite of the eldest son and the third master for the young lady in the eyes of others.

The daily meal is supposed to be fixed. If any master wants to eat something special, he can take out the money and ask the kitchen to do it. Originally, Xiao Lingxiao couldn't afford to eat anything, but in a blink of an eye, the maids in the yard watched Xiao Lingxiao take out the real gold and silver like running water. A lot of delicacies were added to each meal, and the clothes were completely different. Those maids who were not very loyal to the eldest lady have lived a lot. Xiao Lingxiao picked a few obedient people from it and rewarded them with a lot of good things. In this way, the whole Qinghe Courtyard has become much more lively.

In order to get Xiao Lingxiao's reward, the maids and women sent by the eldest lady fought in secret, and it was naturally Xiao Lingxiao who made a profit from it. She is finally a little like a young lady, and her life has been a lot better. The only thing that gives Xiao Lingxiao a headache is the man sitting next to him at this moment.

"The old lady said that there are too many things in the house during this period, and she should go to Fali Temple to pray for blessings. That's what the old lady means, so they have decided to set off the day after tomorrow. All the women of the Xiao family will accompany them, including you.

After saying these words, Xiao Fengming continued to drink tea at the table as a matter of course.

Since he entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, he has come to the Qinghe Courtyard once or twice every day. Every time he has the cheek to stay here for a long time. When he met Bao Ronger and Xiao Lingxiao fiddling with those clothes and jewelry, he held a cup of hot tea and watched it. From time to time, a word or two praise came out, which made Xiao Lingxiao drive him away.

Putting down the tea cup, Xiao Fengming's eyes fell on Xiao Lingxiao again. After looking at it for a while, he suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, "What is the master worried about?"

Xiao Lingxiao frowned and glanced at him, "How many times have I told you? Don't call me master here. If the other party is a demon and wolf, it doesn't matter, but Xiao Fengming is a person. Xiao Lingxiao feels very awkward to let a man of his age call him his master. However, Xiao Fengming seemed to like this name very much and refused to change it.

"Can I call you Lingxiao?" Xiao Fengming suddenly asked softly.

Xiao Lingxiao was stunned when he heard the words and thought about it. He is now the son of his third uncle. His actual age seems to be a little older than himself, but in order to make his identity real, he can only say that he is two years younger than Xiao Lingxiao. Therefore, according to the generation of the Xiao family, he is Xiao Lingxiao's younger brother.

"Call me sister!" Xiao Lingxiao stared at Xiao Fengming and made a conclusion in an irresistible tone.

Xiao Fengming was a little reluctant, but his black crystal-clear eyes turned around, and he immediately smiled again. He came to Xiao Lingxiao's side and called softly, "Sister."

Xiao Lingxiao's heart moved, and then rolled his eyes and ignored him.

When he first saw him, he was full of hostility. Later, when he suddenly appeared in the Xiao family, he looked a little shy. Xiao Lingxiao didn't expect that when this guy got used to it, he would become so cheeky, just like a little scoundrel. However, this little scoundrel behaved according to the rules and would be quiet. From time to time, a few sweet words, coupled with his evil and handsome beauty, it really makes people have nothing to do with him.

What Xiao Fengming said was quickly confirmed. The eldest lady specially sent someone to inform Xiao Lingxiao and told her that they would go to Fali Temple this time and stay there for a few days.

Although Fali Temple is the territory of Xuan Monk, Xiao Lingxiao felt that the eldest lady suddenly proposed to go there. It must not be just to enter the incense and worship the Buddha. This trip to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion is probably aimed at her. The eldest lady will not be afraid of many dreams at night. Xiao Lingxiao expected that she would kill her, but she didn't know how the eldest lady would do it.

On the day of departure, more than a dozen carriages from the Prime Minister's Mansion came out of the imperial city. This time, the old lady did not participate. The eldest lady led the families of the Xiao family, plus Xiao Shumou, Xiao Ranjun and Xiao Fengming who had just returned. It took everyone to ride a horse together with the guards. It took half a day to come to the Fali Temple.

The Xiao family is the most prominent family in the imperial city. Naturally, the Fali Temple also attaches great importance to their arrival. The monks who came out of the temple lined up from the door of the temple halfway up to the foot of the mountain. Several monks in charge of hospitality in the temple were also waiting at the foot of the mountain. From here, all the roads up the mountain are bluestone steps, and the carriages and horses can't go up, so everyone in the Xiao family got off the carriages and horses, and the maids helped the ladies and ladies slowly walked up the mountain.

Halfway through the mountain road, Xiao Fengming quietly came to Xiao Lingxiao and asked in a low voice, "Sister, do you want me to carry you up the mountain?"

Xiao Lingxiao turned his head and saw him smile, stared at him, and whispered, "Do you think I can't walk?" With the divine wolf, Xiao Lingxiao is naturally not afraid of such a small mountain road, but Xiao Huanyu, who was walking in front of him, cried and shouted to have a rest.

Xiao Fengming knew that Xiao Lingxiao would not let him carry it. He just wanted to find an excuse to rub it against her.

Xiao Lingxiao doesn't hate Xiao Fengming. The two talked and laughed, and walked all the way to the mountain, which was more fun.

Because the women were exhausted, they spent nearly two hours bringing them to the temple gate of Fali Temple.

When everyone came, the door of Fali Temple opened, and the monk Xuan came out to greet him in a sock, and the two people who followed the monk Xuan were even more surprised.

The first thing Xiao Lingxiao saw was Li Jing'an, the fourth prince, who stared at her and smiled at her from time to time. The man standing beside the fourth prince turned out to be the prince Xiao Lingxiao met in Wanguanzhuang.

Everyone met to salute each other. At this time, Xiao Lingxiao learned that the prince was the sixth prince Li Jingxuan.

After the Xuan abbot met the first lady, he said a few words with Xiao Shumou with a smile. Xiao Shumou rarely appeared in the prime minister's mansion, so everyone was secretly surprised to learn that he and the monk Xuan were good friends. Then Xuan deliberately walked to Xiao Lingxiao, put his hands together and recited the Buddha's name, and then asked softly, "Master Xiao, are you all right?"

Xiao Lingxiao bowed and replied, "Thank you for your concern. Lingxiao has recovered."

Xuan nodded when he heard the words, " Ruixi misses you very much." After saying that, Xuan smiled faintly at Xiao Lingxiao, and then he turned around and walked to the temple with everyone.

As Xiao Lingxiao walked in, he thought to himself that he didn't know how the name of the monk named Xuan came out. It's enough to keep his sister by his side. From time to time, he ran to the imperial city to have something to do with those dignitaries. Isn't this the obvious six uncles? It's amazing that no one pierced him.

Although Xiao Lingxiao thought so, when Xuan began to do the Buddhist ceremony with everyone, Xiao Lingxiao's eyes were still firmly attracted by Xuan's figure. He looked so devout and spotless. He wore a jacket and put his hands together to recite the scriptures in front of the Buddha, which was simply a beautiful scenery.

After the Buddha's ceremony was finished, everyone walked to the other courtyard that had already been arranged. At this time, Xiao Lingxiao saw the sixth prince Li Jingxuan coming towards her.

Li Jingxuan smiled indifferently and arched his hand to Xiao Lingxiao, "Miss Xiao, we meet again."

Xiao Lingxiao's blessing is a return of the gift. "Ringxiao's eyes are clumsy. I didn't know that you were the sixth highness that day. What an offense. Please forgive me."

Li Jingxuan waved his hand and said, "We don't know each other. This is fate. Didn't Miss Xiao say that she wanted to make friends? Please treat me as your friend in the future.

On that day, after Xiao Lingxiao and the others left, the people sent by Li Jingxuan quickly came back and reported that the three people had disappeared and did not find any trace at all. Li Jingxuan was still very angry about this. Unexpectedly, when he saw him today, the other party turned out to be the famous Xiao Lingxiao. The comeback from the dead, coupled with the amazing gambling skills, increased Xiao Lingxiao's sense of mystery in Li Jingxuan's heart.

Xiao Lingxiao didn't know how Li Jingxuan looked at her, but just because he knew those rumors but didn't look at him differently, he could see that the sixth prince was an open-minded person. Xiao Lingxiao is not hesitate to be friends with such a person.

As soon as the two said these two words, the fourth prince Li Jing'an followed.

Li Jing'an went directly to Xiao Lingxiao's side and whispered very kindly, "Lingxiao, thank you for your hard work all the way up the mountain. I heard yesterday that the eldest lady was going to take you to worship Buddha, so I came today. Are you feeling better?"

When Xiao Lingxiao saw him, he couldn't help frowning. "It seems that the Fourth Highness is really idle." The tone is obviously very repulsive to Li Jing'an.

Li Jingxuan couldn't help but smile when he saw the situation, and Li Jing'an's face seemed to be a little hung.

"In order to see Lingxiao, I rejected everything else." After saying that, Li Jing'an turned his head and looked at Li Jingxuan and asked provocatively, "Sixth brother, I heard that your father asked you to supervise the case of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Why did you have to come here again? Did you two seem to know each other for a long time just now?

Li Jing'an's words obviously seemed to be asking Li Jingxuan. Li Jingxuan was not angry after hearing this, but just smiled indifferently and said, "What the fourth brother said is right. I'm supervising the case, so I came here to ask the monk for a few things. As for me and Miss Lingxiao are How did you get to know each other? It has nothing to do with the fourth brother.

Li Jing'an listened to Li Jingxuan's "Miss Lingxiao" and didn't feel angry. His marriage with Xiao Lingxiao became more and more hopeless, but he had already believed that Xiao Lingxiao was his person, so he was extremely angry when he killed a sixth prince halfway.

"Ringxiao is my wife who hasn't passed the door. Sixth brother, don't you know how to avoid suspicion!"

Li Jingxuan snorted softly when he heard the words, "My father has made a decree to cancel the marriage between the fourth brother and Miss Lingxiao. The fourth brother also said that Miss Lingxiao is your wife who has not passed the door. Is this to resist the decree?"

One sentence blocked Li Jing'an and couldn't say anything, so he could only hold back secretly and take a fierce look at Li Jingxuan.

And when the two of them were arguing, Bao Ronger had already pulled Xiao Lingxiao and strode towards the other courtyard.
