Chapter 1265 Stealing an Incense Burner
After listening to Xiaojiechi's words, Sizhen buried the purse in the incense ash.
Then he washed his hands, took out his Buddhist beads and chanted some sutras, and felt more secure.
"Then let's go together and give this to the Commander?"
"Okay." Jie Chi also felt that there was something he wanted to do with Senior Brother Si Zhen.
The commander of the guards guarding the ancestral temple got the incense burner. He looked at it and fell into confusion.
"Two young masters, isn't this... the one that offers incense to the emperor?"
I can recognize it.
"Yes."
"Donor, we just want to borrow it."
Can I borrow this too?!
"Then what do you want to do with this incense burner?"
"Please send it to Donor Lu right now and tell her that we asked you to deliver it."
"Someone stuffed something in there when my senior brother was out, but I found that thing was a little strange and smelly, so I buried it in the incense ash." Jie Chi said to the commander, and waved his hands vigorously, "But commander, don't take it out, I'm afraid that thing is harmful."
The commander understood.
He frowned, asked more questions, and then took the incense burner to Huai Garden.
Lu Zhaoling and Prince Jin had been here before, and later took Xiaojie away to eat, and they were all watched over by this commander.
Prince Jin also told him that if something happened in the ancestral temple and he or the prince could not be found, or it was too late to go to the palace, he could go to Huai Garden to find Miss Lu.
Miss Lu is about to become the Princess of Jin. She will also be included in the royal family's jade book and be considered a member of the royal family.
Prince Jin and the Crown Prince also trust her, so there should be no problem in going to see her.
After Lu Zhaoling met the brother and sister, she and Zhou Shiyue took a carriage around the capital.
She calculated and found out the location of Lu Song and Gu Sanliang, then went to buy some things and returned to Huaiyuan.
The grandfather of the brother and sister wants to go find Dai Xu, and then ask Dai Xu to bring them over, but it probably won't happen that quickly.
She had prepared the talismans to ward off evil spirits and was just waiting for them.
"The inn that Junior Brother Lu and his friends are staying in is not in the direction that Zheng Ying pointed out. If all the people living in that inn are monks or people from the Xuanmen sect, I'm afraid something might happen."
After Lu Zhaoling said this to Zhou Shiyue, he understood.
"Qingmu, take Qingsong and Qingbai out for a walk these few days." Zhou Shiyue said to Qingmu, "Compared with Qingfeng and Qinglin, you have learned more basic knowledge of Xuanmen. If anything happens, you will be able to see it in time. Keep an eye on that inn."
Qingmu looked at Lu Zhaoling.
It all depends on whether the princess needs him. Before they can be sent out, the princess must agree.
Zhou Shiyue glanced at him but didn't have any objection.
All right, these people were originally named by Lu Xiaoer, so they are following her name. It’s okay to ask for her opinion.
Lu Zhaoling thought this was a good idea.
She immediately gave each of them a few talismans.
"There are also talismans to dispel evil spirits among them, the same as the one given to Master Chen. If you pass through a place with many evil spirits, the talisman will become slightly hot. Pay attention to it and mark it when you see it."
"Yes."
Sanqing took the talisman and went out immediately.
In the afternoon, several groups of guests came to Huaiyuan.
Since it was not convenient for Lin Rong to come over at the moment, he asked Mrs. Lin to bring Lin Yanran over.
The two were naturally very happy to see Lu Zhaoling.
Lin Yanran found an opportunity and asked Lu Zhaoling quietly.
"Sister Zhao Ling, there is something I have been waiting for you to come back to, and I want to hear your opinion."
She was almost distressed.
"What's the matter?" Lu Zhaoling looked at her and felt a little strange.
Last year when she was still in the capital, she had already seen Lin Yanran's Red Luan Star Moving, but for some reason, now she still has the Red Luan Star Moving, but the star is looming.
She guessed that what Lin Yanran wanted to ask her was probably related to marriage.
Sure enough, Lin Yanran bit her lower lip and spoke frankly.
"Sister Zhao Ling, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me before if I was willing to enter the Eastern Palace..."
Become a crown princess?
Lu Zhaoling was surprised at first, but then he felt that it was indeed the case.
"So what do you think?" she asked Lin Yanran.
I didn't expect the prince to ask Lin Yanran so directly first.
"I think the prince is a nice person. In fact, we met and talked when we were young, and His Royal Highness still remembers it."
Lin Yanran pursed her lips and smiled, her face slightly red.
It can be seen that she still admires the prince very much.
"Do you like the prince?"
Asked by Lu Zhaoling, Lin Yanran was a little shy, but she still thought about it seriously, "If you don't mention His Royal Highness's identity as the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness himself is very good. Moreover, he was willing to ask for my opinion first, and said that whether I want it or not, he respects me and won't force me."
"So if you want to choose a husband, I think your highness is great."
"But?" Lu Zhaoling understood what she meant and said the but on her behalf.
Lin Yanran was a little depressed.
"But I think that although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has some feelings for me, he actually considered many factors before asking that question."
"Your Highness should think that I am suitable."
Lin Yanran cheered up again and said to Lu Zhaoling, "Sister Zhaoling, please don't laugh at me. I actually still want to marry a husband who truly loves me and values me as a person."
"Really, he should like me very much. Your Highness makes me feel respected, understood, and appreciated, but not liked."
Lin Yanran was silent for a moment, then continued, "Besides, Your Highness is the crown prince, so he will also have three palaces and six courtyards in the future, right?"
this......
"Although I know that most men have three wives and four concubines, my parents only taught me that I can only be the main wife when I grow up, and not be a concubine. However, my father only married my mother, and I actually want to be like my mother, with no one else around my husband."
Lin Yanran knew that if she said these words, she would only be laughed at by others.
And everyone would say that this is the thought of a jealous woman.
Jealous woman is not a nice word.
It is also difficult for her to find a man of equal social status who only wants one wife.
How many girls dream of becoming a crown princess?
So Lin Yanran was also a little conflicted.
"I'm old enough to get married. If I reject His Royal Highness, I'll have to choose another husband. I don't know what to do."
She looked at Lu Zhaoling and grabbed Lu Zhaoling's arm.
Lu Zhaoling paused for a moment, "Yanran, you are a very smart and knowledgeable girl. Your Highness the Crown Prince has a very good eye."
After hearing what she said, Lin Yanran obviously relaxed a little.
"I certainly can't make the choice for you about your major life events. But I can tell you one thing, your lucky star is moving, which means that even if you don't marry the prince, you should be able to get married this year."
"You have a relatively pure mind, but it will be difficult for you to remain pure as the Eastern Palace. So, it all depends on what you want."
"What are you talking about?"
Zhou Shiyue walked over slowly.
Lin Yanran took advantage of the fact that he was entertaining guests and occupied Lu Xiaoer for a long time.
This is Huai Garden. Almost everyone who comes here is here to see Lu Xiaoer. He entertains guests and is obviously disliked. Don't think he can't see it.
