There were still two female Taoist priests guarding the small Buddhist temple. When they saw Ji Youran come in, they didn't stop her.
Ji Youran, dressed in cloth with only a silver hairpin on her body, looked extremely plain and did not look like a concubine in the prince's mansion at all.
He was only accompanied by a personal maid, and was carrying a incense basket in his hand.
Although the incense basket was not big, the fact that she carried it personally made people feel that she was sincere.
During this period, Ji Youran was like this every day, rain or shine.
The female Taoist priest withdrew and let her burn incense in peace. Every day, Ji Youran would stay there for a while, talking in a low voice to the spirit tablet above, as if there was a crown princess there.
This feeling made the two female Taoist priests think that this concubine was possessed by a demon. She could talk for so long even though there was no one around.
At first, they would listen to what this concubine said, all of which were stories from her childhood and interesting events from when the Crown Princess was little. She cried as she spoke, which was really sad.
It turns out that this concubine really has a very good relationship with the Crown Princess, and she really cares about the Crown Princess. Some bad rumors outside are actually misunderstandings about her.
The two female Taoist priests felt sorry for her when they saw her like this, and gradually gave up the idea of attending the meeting as an observer, leaving this time to the two sisters who were separated by life and death.
It also fulfills the friendship between the two sisters.
Unexpectedly, today, after they had just stood outside for a while, they saw several people coming from the opposite side. The first one was the prince. The two Taoist nuns hurried forward to pay their respects.
The prince hasn't been here for some time.
"Who's in there?" Pei Luoan felt something was wrong as soon as he arrived at the door. He put his hand on his brow and asked unhappily.
"It's the concubine. She has been coming here during this period of time." A female Taoist nun explained.
Pei Luoan frowned, feeling very upset. He came here today just to see Ji Hanyue, but was disturbed by Ji Youran.
After turning around and walking a few steps, he stopped and finally turned back to the Buddhist temple. He was now upset and had been enduring for several days, but in the end he couldn't bear it any longer.
I don't want to go back like this.
He waved his hand and asked people to leave, then walked slowly towards the Buddhist temple.
The door closed slightly, and Ji Youran was seen kneeling inside. A voice came out, not too loud, not too low, and it was just right to be heard by standing at the door.
Pei Luoan stood still, looked at Ji Youran who was kneeling, and listened to her voice...
"Sister, I only regret that I didn't hold you back at the beginning, and let you jump off Linyuan Pavilion in such anger. If I had known that you had such a thought earlier, I would have held you back even if I died." Ji Youran reached out and touched her cheek, where her scars were, with hatred in her eyes...
"In order to pull you, I bumped into the iron fence above and injured my face, but so what? It's nothing compared to my sister's life. Sister... If possible, I would rather die with my own body. It would have been great if I was the one who died at that time!" Ji Youran's voice choked with sobs.
When burning the paper, there were low sobs and great pain.
Pei Luoan's footsteps stopped at the door, his handsome face was gloomy, and only the slight flash of his dark eyes showed that he was listening.
"Sister, you will be miserable after you die, and no one will worship you. Please bless me to have a child, and then I will have a child in your name, and he will be your son. From now on, there will always be people who will worship you during the four seasons and eight festivals. Even if I die in the future, it will still be the same... I will never let you...
You are alone on the road to the underworld, and there is no sacrifice to be received."
Ji Youran's voice was low. She was crying, tears falling in strings. Even her back looked extremely desolate.
"Sister, my son is your son. I will tell him that you are his only biological mother and that he should be filial to you. The children he gives birth to in the future will also be your descendants and will worship you forever and ever... This will preserve the sisterhood between us in this life."
Ji Youran cried even more sadly, lowered her body, and threw the paper money in her hand into the brazier.
Perhaps the fire in the brazier was too hot, and some ashes fell on her, burning her coarse cloth clothes into tiny black spots.
Ji Youran looked at the tablet with surprise and joy: "Sister, do you agree too? Do you also want me to give birth to a child and have it registered in your name?"
She reached out and touched her belly: "I seem to be pregnant. Sister, this must be your intention. You want this child, right?"
Ji Youran's expression became sad again: "Sister, if we really have a child thanks to you at this time, but it's not the right time, the new Crown Princess will come in, and His Royal Highness will definitely let her give birth to the child first. Our child should not come at this time!"
At this point, she reached out and gently touched her belly, her voice choked with sobs and a hint of crying: "Sister, am I really pregnant with your child? What should I do now? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely not like it."
When Pei Luoan outside heard this, his fingers twitched, and he clenched his fists and pinched his fingers, and then he couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "You can keep this child!"
"Your Highness?" Ji Youran turned her head suddenly. She was in a panic because of Pei Luoan's sudden appearance. She covered her stomach with her hands, her eyes were panicked, and her voice was filled with tears. She said excitedly, "Your Highness... You... You said you want to keep this child?"
Pei Luoan walked in, his eyes fell directly on the memorial tablet in the middle, his eyes became sad and gloomy, he pursed his lips, and then said slowly and firmly: "If you have a child... keep it, and register it under Hanyue's name... It's her child!"
“Your Highness the Crown Prince…” Ji Youran burst into tears, hugging his legs and crying inconsolably.
Pei Luoan stood there motionless, quietly looking at the spirit tablet in the middle. Ren Jiyouran cried so hard that she almost died...
Outside the Buddhist temple, a person was secretly looking out from the corner. He couldn't hear any other noises, only the sound of Ji Youran crying. Xifeng blinked and didn't dare to go inside.
She heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was coming here, so she specially prepared to come here to pay tribute to the Crown Princess. She also wanted to come in to pay tribute these days, but every time she saw Ji Youran there, she didn't dare to rush forward.
Ji Youran did not look for Xie Feng, and seemed to no longer care about Xie Feng's affairs. Xie Feng himself had other thoughts and was also carefully avoiding Ji Youran.
After rolling her eyes, she didn't dare to come out at this time. Compared with Ji Youran, she was even less qualified.
Carefully hiding behind the corner of the house, she listened intently to the crying sounds from inside. In the end, it was unknown what the Crown Prince said, and Ji Youran started crying sadly again.
After a long time, the crying stopped, and Pei Luoan brought Ji Youran out. When leaving, Pei Luoan reached out to support Ji Youran, and Xifeng stared at him with his eyes wide open.
After being with Ji Youran for such a long time, this was the first time she saw the Crown Prince protecting Ji Youran like this.
What did Concubine Ji say and cry about just now
She didn't know and didn't dare to ask. She just felt extremely upset and watched the prince escort Concubine Ji away.
With her, nothing...
She felt so angry that she watched the two people leave together. She stamped her feet and turned away. She didn't know what happened, but she felt that Ji Youran was going to gain the upper hand. What should she do? She had already offended Ji Youran. If Ji Youran really gained the upper hand, would he forgive her? Would he deal with her
Xie Feng was unsure and just very panicked. She knew that Miss Ji was not a person who could tolerate others.
When Xie Feng returned to his yard, he was uneasy and panicked.
Ming Xin came in with a cup of tea. Seeing Xie Feng in a panic, he put down the cup and asked, "Miss, did something happen? Didn't you go to pay homage to the Crown Princess? Why are you back so soon?"
"I just saw the concubine. She was also offering sacrifices." Xie Feng took the tea and wanted to drink it, but his hands felt hot, so he put it down in a hurry, becoming more and more irritated.
"So what? Hasn't the Concubine been going to worship every day during this period? Girl, you should also go to worship after the Concubine leaves. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will know."
There is nothing in the Eastern Palace that the Crown Prince doesn't know, unless he doesn't want to know.
"After all, I'm just a maid, I can't win." Xie Feng was annoyed and aggrieved, his eyes reddened, "When the Crown Princess was here, she was obviously closer to us. Even though the concubine is the Crown Princess's cousin, she is not as close to us as we are. What does it mean that she is wholeheartedly expressing her affection for the Crown Princess now?"
Xie Feng knew some things. Ji Youran had always harbored ill will towards the Crown Princess, as evidenced by the fact that she bribed her personal maid. But now he acted very close to the Crown Princess, and even went to pay tribute to her in plain clothes, which was even more pretentious than himself.
This made His Royal Highness the Crown Prince feel pity for her, which made Xie Feng even more indignant. It was clearly his idea to go and pay homage to the Crown Princess, but now the idea was stolen by the concubine, and even worse, not only did she not dare to go to pay homage, but she also lured His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here, making him think that the concubine and the Crown Princess had a deep sisterly love.
The feeling of knowing but not being able to say it was too painful.
"Girl, you can actually fight for it." Mingxin said softly.
"I...how can I fight now?" Xie Feng said angrily.
"You can propose to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and volunteer to keep vigil for the Crown Princess." Mingxin reminded her.
"Keep vigil?" Xie Feng shuddered, shaking his hands. "How can that be possible? No, I have to become a nun."
She was still in her prime and had been coveting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a long time. When she heard the favor of Concubine Ji, she was overjoyed and betrayed the Crown Princess without a second thought, just to get close to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and, ideally, win his favor.
"It's only temporary, girl. Only in this way can you retreat in order to advance, and also let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince see your sincerity, which is more sincere than that of the concubine. You have done more for the Crown Prince's wife. Only by doing more, will the Crown Prince value you more and mention your name!"
Mingxin said seductively, with the corners of her lips slightly raised and a hint of sarcasm flashing in her eyes. This Xiefeng was really bold and actually wanted to become the prince's favorite woman.
The Crown Prince's Mansion will soon have a new Crown Princess, and the concubine has a seductive concubine. Even the maid Xiefeng is restless. The Crown Prince's Mansion is really going to be as lively as Fourth Miss Qu said...
