The situation on the battlefield never changes rapidly, but when the scale of a war rises to a national war, it does not happen overnight. As the emperor increased his troops to the northern border, the battle situation gradually stabilized, and everyone far away in the capital still lived a life of singing and dancing.
Qi Yang finally found the opportunity to leave the palace again. Because the war in the northern Xinjiang has attracted all the emperor's attention, and he has not had more time to take care of her recently, it is quite easy for Qi Yang to leave the palace this time.
After specifically looking for Xiu Mu Ri, Qi Yang asked Lu Qipei to go to the Huguo Temple on the outskirts of the city to offer incense.
In the early morning, the carriage drove out of the palace facing the rising sun, the wheels rolled over the bluestone-paved street, and went around the Lu Mansion, and by the way took the teenagers who were waiting outside the mansion into the carriage—from Xie Hongyi Not long after she left, Qi Bo sent someone to Dali Temple to invite her back to the residence, but Lu Qipei didn't agree at that time, and later moved back because of Qi Yang's words.
And now the Lu Mansion is no longer a Longtan Tiger's Den for the two of them. At least after the two have thoroughly confessed, Qi Yang even dispatched secret guards beside Lu Qipei and placed spies in the Lu Mansion without concealing it from her.
Lu Qipei didn't get angry after hearing this, but had a little surprise that he was guarded by his sweetheart... It can be said to be quite indulgent.
But for now, the protection arranged by Qi Yang didn't come in handy. Qi Bo seemed to be very interested in her, and he had no plans to play tricks on her. Lu Qipei was even living quite well in Lu Mansion these days.
At this time, the carriage picked up the person and continued to drive out of the city, and the two people in the carriage looked at each other and smiled.
There was also a coachman outside the carriage, and there was nothing to hide through a door, so the two of them didn't say anything important on the carriage. Just as usual, talk about the current situation, love each other, and at most have a little bit of ambiguous action.
That's it, two people who are in the same mind but can't see each other every day, also feel a lot of iron.
The horse's hoofs were stepping on the bluestone slab, and the driver was not walking slowly while shaking the reins. After half an hour, he rushed from Lu Mansion to the city gate, but when he arrived at the city gate, his way was blocked, and he was unable to leave the city after waiting for a long time.
The two only took a rest day to travel, and they had to return to the city and even the palace before the city gate closed at night, but there was not much delay on the way. So after waiting for a while, Lu Qipei became impatient, and couldn't help but say, "Why is the city gate so blocked today?"
As he spoke, he opened the curtain of the car to see, but saw several carriages blocking the road ahead. From the angle that Lu Qipei is in now, the logo cannot be seen, but the carriage looks quite rich and even decorated with gold ornaments, presumably the owner is extraordinary.
Seeing this, Qi Yang also came to Lu Qipei's side and looked out together with her, but he recognized it at a glance: "In front is the carriage of my third brother's mansion, and on the other side is the family of Duke Dingguo, which must have started at the gate of the city. disputes."
No one knows the situation in the northern Xinjiang now, and even the fact that the third prince pleaded to return to Beijing in the battle report has somehow been spread out - timidity on the spot, this is not a good reputation. How high-spirited the third prince was when he left, and how notorious he is now. Although he has not yet returned to Beijing, the three princes in the court have been suppressed to the point of being unable to lift their heads.
On the other hand, Dingguo Gong's family, although he is as sloppy as Zhang Zhen, his own ability is beyond doubt. Seeing that the situation in the northern border had changed, the emperor sent him to the northern border. As a result, he won two games just after he went, which is quite a trick.
Looking at the formation of the carriage at the gate of the city, it should be the third prince and concubine who traveled, but somehow they met the Duke of Dingguo's family.
Hearing this, Lu Qipei looked out again, and was a little curious: "The situation of the third prince is not good now, why is there still someone in the house who has made enemies in Beijing?" At the gate of the city."
Her words were too coincidental, and just after the words fell, the previous dispute seemed to have come to an end.
Finally, after the two sides took a step back, the two carriages went out of the city gate in parallel.
Only this ending fell in Qi Yang's eyes, but he couldn't help frowning. Because the people of Dingguo Gongfu are too arrogant, and because the third prince and concubine are too weak, this step back will lose their royal face!
Qi Yang couldn't help sighing after taking his eyes back, and he couldn't say whether it was schadenfreude or what: "Tomorrow my third emperor brother will be involved again."
Hearing the words, Lu Qipei pressed her brows pretentiously, and said, "It's rare to come out, so An Ning should stop worrying about the third prince?" After speaking, he pushed Qi Yang to face himself: "Come, come, look at me, You always said I was better looking."
Seeing her playing tricks, Qi Yang finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The carriage that was blocking the front finally left the city, the blocked road was clear again, and the driver shook the reins to urge the horse forward. The laughter of the two young people in the car came from time to time, and finally disappeared in the free wind of the suburbs...
Qi Yang brought Lu Qipei to Huguo Temple, not only for a date, but also to offer incense.
"I can't remember what time it was. I just found out some news about you, and I didn't know you were gone. I happened to accompany the emperor's sister-in-law to the Huguo Temple to offer incense, and I made a wish in front of the Buddha, wanting to be with the Buddha. You can continue your relationship." Qi Yang said about the past, feeling a little disappointed: "As a result, a few days later, it was found that you had been killed by Lu Qicheng. At that time, I only thought that Buddha could not be trusted."
Because at that time, besides making a wish, Qi Yang also drew a lottery, and the other said that she would get her wish on the lottery. She rejoiced for several days, but ended up pouring a basin of cold water on her head, almost so angry that she ran to Huguo Temple and smashed the Buddha's golden body.
Of course, such angry thoughts only stayed in her heart for a brief moment, and then she was overwhelmed with grief.
It was never Qi Yang's choice to vent indifferently, she would target the culprit if she wanted to. Lu Qipei also knew what happened after that, her brother died quite simply.
After hearing her, Lu Qipei laughed, and then said solemnly: "Now it seems that the Buddha did not lie to you." After speaking, he leaned into Qi Yang's ear and whispered: "Zibuyu is strange and confused, you If I can do it all over again, I can’t say that it is also the blessing of the Buddha.”
Qi Yang's ears were itchy due to her breath, so he ducked to the side slightly: "That's why I came to pay my wish."
The two walked into the Huguo Temple while talking. It was the first day of the new year, so many people came to the temple to offer incense today. The two entered the Mahavira Hall with the crowd, knelt side by side in front of the Buddha and repaid their vows sincerely, and searched for the monks in the temple to add a lot of sesame oil.
After an old incident, Qi Yang also relaxed a lot. After coming out of the Daxiong Palace, he pulled Lu Qipei to hang out in the temple.
As he was walking, Lu Qipei suddenly laughed, causing Qi Yang to look sideways and pointed at the back mountain and said with a smile: "When I first came back, I always wanted to run away, but I was afraid of being seen by others. , and finally came to Huguo Temple on the pretext of offering incense and slipped from the back mountain."
Qi Yang was funny and helpless when he heard the words, thinking that his concubine came back again and didn't want to take revenge, but he was really good-natured. If it was her, she would definitely get a pack of poison first, and send all the Lu Family people who arranged for her to die on the road!
However, if this is full of anger, there is not much to say in the quietness of Buddhism.
The topic was opened at will, and the two started gossiping again, walking to a secluded place while talking, planning to find a quiet place to talk about business. It's just that the two of them found it in a secluded place, but unexpectedly found that someone took the lead and occupied the place first.
When Qi Yang saw the beautiful woman in luxurious clothes from a distance, he couldn't help frowning: "Why did you meet her again?!"
Hearing this, Lu Qipei followed Qi Yang's line of sight, and felt that the woman looked familiar, and after thinking about it, he remembered: "Is it the third imperial concubine? Did she come to the temple to give incense? Why did she come to such a remote place? already?"
Beijiang is like that, even if the third prince is only behind the scenes to supervise the army, the danger is conceivable. It is not surprising that the third prince and concubine came to Huguo Temple to pray for blessings. The two of them had guessed a bit when they bumped into her carriage at the gate of the city.
Just praying for blessings, praying for blessings, and offering incense to incense, what is the matter with the dignified third prince and concubine running to such a place alone
For a moment, Qi Yang had to suspect that the third emperor's brother had added color to her head, but thinking about the timid and cowardly nature of the third emperor's concubine, she didn't think she could do such a thing. I just bumped into it, and I became a little curious, so I said to Lu Qipei, "I see her as waiting for someone. Why don't you and I stay and wait, let's see who she is waiting for."
Hearing this, Lu Qipei looked at Qi Yang with a subtle look in his eyes. There was always a feeling that Her Royal Highness the princess was gloating at the misfortune and planning to "help" her imperial brother to catch a traitor. As a result, Qi Yang noticed and glared at him, and immediately retracted his thoughts.
The two of them didn't even go to the front, so they bypassed the Third Prince and looked for a hidden place with a good view to wait.
Sure enough, after half a cup of tea, I saw a figure coming towards this side. Only different from what Lu Qipei and Qi Yang thought before, the person who came was not a man, but a slender girl.
She walked directly in front of the third prince and concubine, who looked at her with unfamiliar, nervous and defensive eyes. Obviously, the two met each other for the first time. But the person who came was clearly prepared, and after a few words, the third prince and concubine let go of their guard and became anxious again...
The two were murmuring in the distance, not knowing what to say, Lu Qipei and Qi Yang were really far away, but they couldn't hear a single word. Qi Yang couldn't help but whisper: "It's a mistake, it's too far away."
She always felt that the woman's temperament was a bit strange, and she was not like the same person standing in the same place as the third prince.
Lu Qipei was amused when she saw her frowning and annoyed, and without thinking, he whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, Ah Ning, I know that person."
When Qi Yang heard the words, he immediately looked back at her with curiosity: "Who is it?"
Lu Qipei didn't give a shit, and immediately replied: "That's the top brand of Chunfanglou, Qin Qing." After finishing speaking, he said, "She is not a convict's daughter, and as she is, she has little to do with the third prince and concubine. If people meet at this Huguo Temple, they must…”
Lu Qipei didn't have a chance to finish the rest of the words, because she noticed that Qi Yang's eyes suddenly turned sharp towards her.
Immediately afterwards, the other party repeated in a bad tone: "The top card of Chunfanglou?"
