Going to the temple to pray is a big deal, and you can't just get away with it like you did today. Lu Qingxi knew that he still had to go.

Moreover, according to the plot, even though the original owner was locked up after making a scene at the princess' banquet, she still went out to the temple that day. This shows how much importance this dynasty attached to this custom, and the plot deliberately arranged this important festival to gild the heroine and highlight the value of the heroine's phoenix fate.

In the past few days, Lu Qingxi has slowly adapted to the life of the second young lady of the Shangshu Mansion. She has everything she wants, and it has to be said that this decadent life really suits her trouble-averse personality.

Xiao Huan, my personal servant, took care of every detail and arranged everything perfectly. My life was extremely comfortable.

Thinking that tomorrow was the day to pray for blessings, Lu Qingxi was still a little worried. His sixth sense had always been very accurate, and he always felt that if he went there, it would have a great impact on the plot. After all, he had already skipped a plot, and if he interfered too much with the direction afterwards, there would be a butterfly effect, and he would not be able to cope with it.

I tried to check the plot and find a way to avoid the hero and heroine. After all, the original body made a mistake and was sent to watch so that he could avoid the entanglement between the heroine, the hero and the supporting actor. If I go out together tomorrow, I will naturally go with the heroine. Then it is inevitable that something outside the plot will happen.

How to avoid it? Lu Qingxi lowered her head and thought. Her beautiful eyebrows knitted together, and Xiaohuan, who was serving beside her, felt distressed.

"Miss, what's wrong? Are you worried about tomorrow's prayer?"

Lu Qingxi nodded slightly after hearing this, and then continued to think. Xiaohuan thought that her young lady was just like usual, worried that she could not overshadow the eldest young lady, so she spoke out.

"Miss, rest assured. I have checked the clothes you are going to wear for the blessing ceremony. They are all perfect. Although they are plain, they should be the most suitable when paired with the hanging bun. Moreover, you are extremely beautiful. You will definitely be ten times more beautiful than the eldest lady tomorrow!"

Lu Qingxi only thought Xiaohuan's words were cute, and shook her head to indicate that it was not for this. Xiaohuan spoke again.

"Miss, are you worried about getting up early tomorrow? Madam sent someone to tell you this morning that you and the eldest lady don't have to get up at 11:00 a.m. and leave at 7:00 p.m. like in previous years. You can just arrive at 9:00 p.m."

When Lu Qingxi heard this, an idea suddenly flashed across her mind and her mood immediately turned from gloomy to cheerful. In that case, why not just get up early and go there?

"Xiao Huan, arrange your trip tomorrow. I want to avoid the Madam, so I'll leave at noon."

Xiao Huan looked at her young lady's smiling face and swallowed back all the questions that were on the tip of her tongue. Whatever the young lady said was the truth! She could do whatever she wanted! She went down to arrange it.

But Lu Qingxi didn't know that if she got up early tomorrow, she could avoid the heroine, but she ran into the hero and the supporting actor. The reason why this year is different from previous years is that the royal family used to go to the royal temple to pray for blessings.

However, this year was different. In order to show the closeness between the royal family and the people, the emperor specially ordered to go to the White Horse Temple to pray for blessings. But in order to prevent thieves from sneaking in, this time was a little earlier than the people and ministers.

However, Lu Qingxi, who had left the house earlier than the eldest lady due to Xiaohuan's arrangements, was unaware of all this and even caught up on his sleep soundly in the sedan chair.

Xiaohuan felt amazed and puzzled when she saw her young lady covered by the veil. Even if only her eyebrows and eyes were exposed, she was still very charming. But why would her young lady think of covering her face when she went out in the past?

"Second Miss, we're here."

The sedan bearer reminded them softly outside the sedan and gently lowered the sedan. Originally, these people were not very willing to get up early to see off the unpopular and badly-reputed second young lady. But the moment their eyes met, they felt that the person in front of them was extremely beautiful, and they tried to move forward steadily along the way, fearing that the bumps would make the beauty uncomfortable.

Lu Qingxi woke up before hearing the sound, and after a while, he let Xiaohuan hold his hand and got off the sedan chair. He slowly walked up the steps and headed towards the temple.

The steps of the temple were a bit long, and the master and servant took small steps, so it took them about a quarter of an hour to reach the main hall of the temple.

However, there were no visitors in the temple at this moment, only a young monk stood by the side facing the gate with his hands folded. Xiaohuan had been here before, and although she was surprised that they should not be the only ones to come today even though it was early, she did not want to say anything to trouble the young lady.

The young monk standing in the hall saw a flash of surprise in the two people's eyes, and stepped forward to bow to them.

"Amitabha, the donor should draw a lot first, and then kowtow to the gods and Buddhas."

After saying this, he pointed with his left hand to the location where the lottery tube was placed, and then took a step back to wait for the two to take action.

Xiaohuan took the lottery box and handed it to her daughter. She was also curious about what her daughter would draw. She watched her daughter shaking the lottery box.

Lu Qingxi took the lottery stick, knelt down on the mat, and shook the stick stick forward twice. A bamboo stick with the red word "upper lottery" lay on the ground, and the other fell at his feet.

Xiao Huan was standing at the side, so she only saw the bamboo stick in front of her. She happily picked up the bamboo stick from the ground and handed it to the monk. Lu Qingxi secretly picked up another bamboo stick and put it back into the bamboo tube.

"Master, please help my lady to interpret the fortune."

The monk took the bamboo stick and saw the words on it. He was surprised. The four words "continuous" must mean that the woman in front of him will have many emotional entanglements. How can it be a good sign? But what he thought in his heart and what he said were naturally different. He thought about it and spoke.

"The female donor will have smooth sailing, and when she encounters difficulties, someone will lend a hand to help her through it."

Lu Qingxi heard and looked at the words on the fortune stick again, and felt that it didn't mean that. But he didn't make it difficult, just thinking that it was because he still had a fortune stick. He thanked him softly and put his hands together and bowed to the Buddha statue. He prayed in his heart that the gods and Buddhas in front of him would bless him to live smoothly in this world.

After a while, he opened his eyes, put down his hands and stood up with Xiaohuan, then turned and walked towards the door. The monk next to him was stunned for a while before he came to his senses, immediately turned around and took the lucky bag on the table, and chased in the direction Lu Qingxi left.

"Donor, wait a minute. This blessing bag has not been taken away. The blessing bag needs to be hung on the blessing tree in the backyard by hand. Donor, please go ahead."

After saying that, he couldn't help but secretly glance at the woman in front of him a few more times.

Lu Qingxi took the lucky bag, and Xiaohuan immediately stepped forward to thank him. The two of them then headed towards the backyard.

The little monk I met on the road took me to the so-called lucky tree, which was actually a lush peach tree, and the tree was already full of lucky bags strung with red threads. The pink flowers and red silk entangled with each other made me feel inexplicably touched.

"Miss, luckily you came early today, hang it up now."

Xiao Huan's excited voice broke the silence. The two men in black clothes who were still walking forward not far away stopped in their tracks by the sudden noise and turned back to look at the source of the noise.

What caught their eyes were two women in white clothes. Judging from what they were wearing, they must be the daughter of a certain family and her maid. The former was wearing a veil. It was too far away to see her features, although her figure was slender and attractive. But both of them thought that the woman was deliberately trying to attract their attention. Although they only liked Lu Shiyao three points, they were competitive because of each other and showed seven points. Therefore, neither of them wanted to stay. Just as they were about to move forward, they were stopped by the next clear and cold female voice.

"Then I'll just hang it in the one closest to me."

The two men who raised their feet were the emperor's two most valued sons, Xiao Ruixuan and Xiao Duanyue. Both of them seemed to be attracted by the voice and turned back to watch the master and servant's follow-up.

Xiaohuan moved the stool to the position where her young lady wanted to hang, and helped her to slowly step onto the stool, carefully wrapping her young lady's body.

"Miss, take your time. I will help you watch."

Lu Qingxi smiled and replied, "Don't worry, I will pay attention."

The female voice was more tolerant and doting than before, less cold and more sweet. The two men felt their hearts being pulled deeper, and unconsciously slowed down their pace and moved forward slowly.

As they got closer, the woman's face became clearer. Her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and even her profile, which covered the lower half of her face, was fascinating. Both of them were nervous, and their fingers were slightly curled.

The woman held an exquisite lucky bag in her hand, with a thin line on each side of the bag, and was ready to hang it on a branch. However, when she looked closely, she found that a beautiful butterfly was already entangled on the thin line next to it, and its wings were tightly bound and unable to break free.

The woman felt compassion, so she gently put down the lucky bag and approached the butterfly carefully. She gently untied the thin thread wrapped around the butterfly's wings with her fingers, allowing the butterfly to regain its freedom. The butterfly spread its wings and danced around the woman, as if expressing its gratitude to her.

The woman smiled as she watched the butterfly come back to life, and picked up the lucky bag again. She gently hung it on the branch of the peach tree, and with a heart full of piety, she silently prayed for blessings. After praying that she could successfully complete the plot, she gracefully turned around and prepared to get down from the tree.

When she turned around, a gentle spring breeze blew by, gently lifting the veil of the beauty. The veil slowly fell from the right side of her face, and the peach blossoms on her head also gently brushed her cheeks. Seeing this, Xiaohuan didn't bother to look at her young lady's gorgeous face. She grabbed the veil that fell into her hand and put it back on her young lady within three seconds.

"You have to cover it up quickly. Your beauty cannot be seen by outsiders. Otherwise, even a saint would have evil intentions for no reason."

After saying that, he nodded twice to show his approval of his words. Lu Qingxi, who was just watching, couldn't help laughing, and raised his hand to touch Xiaohuan's head gently.

"Your young lady is not as exaggerated as you say. Well, take care of yourself and let's go back quickly."

Lu Qingxi turned her face slightly, wanting to feel the warmth of spring again before leaving. At this moment, she noticed two burning gazes, as if someone was secretly spying on her. As if she had sensed something, she glanced to the left and saw two figures. She felt something was wrong and quickly left with Xiaohuan.

The two people in the distance were both in a daze. The last few seconds had already shocked them. What the maid said was exactly what they were thinking. Even a saint would not be unmoved by such beauty. Her eyebrows were like a crescent moon, her eyes were like stars, and her face seemed to be a masterpiece carefully carved by God, impeccable. Under her slender eyebrows were a pair of delicate and affectionate eyes, which seemed to sparkle like stars, deeply attracting people's attention.

The scene just now seemed like the most beautiful picture in nature. The kindness and beauty of the woman, the blooming peach blossoms, the free flying of butterflies and the warmth of spring were all intertwined to form an intoxicating picture. At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and both of them deeply fixed this beauty in their hearts forever.

The two people who were unable to recover for a long time finally came back to their senses from their astonishment after a long while, but there was no trace of the beauty in front of them.

The two looked at each other, and saw the passion in each other's eyes. They knew that they both had feelings for the beauty. They turned around and chased after the person.
