As soon as she opened her eyes, she was forcibly carried back to the East Palace by the paranoid pri

Although the sun was shining brightly in the morning, a drizzle began to fall at noon. A moist mist covered the sky, and the rain continued to fall as if it would never stop.

An elegant and luxurious carriage stopped in front of Tianhe Temple. The curtain was lifted, and Ning Rushong came out first, then helped He Yue down. Xiao Taozi and Xiao Guanzi opened oil-paper umbrellas to shelter them from the rain.

Tianhe Temple is located in a hidden mountain forest west of Yuncheng. It is quiet, secluded and solemn. A young eunuch received a signal from Xiao Guanzi and went forward to knock on the door.

"Knock! Knock! Knock!"

"Squeak." The door opened and a monk walked out. Seeing that it was Ning Rusong, he clasped his hands together and said respectfully, "I wonder why His Highness the Crown Prince came to Tianhe Temple?"

Ning Rushong had been to Tianhe Temple with the King of the South, so the monks naturally remembered this dignified Crown Prince.

He lowered his eyes slightly, and said in a clear and gentle voice, "I came with my new wife, He, to ask for the talisman."

Ning Rusong, as the son of the legitimate daughter of the He family, could naturally ask for the talisman. The monk smiled and said, "Please come in."

He turned around, held He Yue's hand tightly in his palm, and said slowly, "Let's go."

What is my state of mind? Ning Rusong pondered, as if he had just pulled his soul back to his body. In fact, the talisman was more like an illusory sustenance, blessing them to stay together for the rest of their lives. The rest of their lives is long. How many ups and downs can the touching love of youth withstand?

His thoughts turned, he lowered his eyes, and the two people's clasped hands came into his sight. Forget it, at least at this moment he wanted to have such a talisman with He Yue.

He Yue could only follow him in bewilderment, with a puzzled look on her beautiful face. What was the point of asking for a talisman? Wasn't she just here to pray for blessings?

This dog man only knows how to be mysterious!

There are many different halls in the temple. Ning Rusong took her directly to the Marriage Hall, where Guanyin Bodhisattva was enshrined in the center. There was a kind old monk in the hall, who smiled and put his hands together, "Amitabha, are you two here to pray for marriage or for amulets?"

"Talisman." Ning Rushong said in a calm voice. Although there was no expression on his elegant face, he was much calmer than usual.

He Yue, who was standing beside him, had a look of uneasiness between her eyebrows. She finally opened her lips and asked, "What is the talisman?"

When the old monk heard this, he was stunned for a moment. This was the first time he saw a bride asking for a talisman but not knowing the meaning of the talisman.

"Amitabha." The old monk bowed, his voice kind, "Donor, this amulet is used to bless the newlyweds to live in harmony and stay together forever."

Oh, they are in harmony and will grow old together. There is something indistinct in He Yue's eyes, and a faint smile spreads on her face. She turns her head to look at Ning Rusong, and her voice is soft and peaceful. "So that's how it is. Your Highness didn't tell me, could it be that I am unwilling?"

Of course, even if he was unwilling, he had to agree with a smile. After all, he was the one who had the final say. This had almost become an iron rule that could not be shaken. As long as Ning Rushong set the rules, He Yue had to follow them step by step.

This is indeed unfair, but Ning Rushong is completely unaware of it now. Others have always been submissive and obedient to him. Over time, he has lost the thought of being considerate of others. He has been in a high position for so long that he no longer has the heart to return to the world.

Probably the only difference is that Ning Rushong would use a little more tenderness to coax her afterwards, which to him was more like the awkward and subtle pleasure between lovers.

"It's because I knew Yueyue was willing that I thought it would be okay to tell her at Tianhe Temple." Ning Rushong's voice was clear and gentle, his hand still holding He Yue's.

The old monk lit two incense sticks, and He Yue and Ning Rushong took them respectively. Since they asked for talismans, they had to follow the rules of Tianhe Temple.

The two men knelt on the cushions, closed their eyes, and kowtowed three times to the compassionate yet indifferent statue of Guanyin, then stood up and placed incense on the altar.

The old monk next to him had a peaceful look on his face. "Sincerity is the key to success. If you two are of the same mind, you will stay together."

He took out a talisman tied with a red string and a wooden plaque with a talisman painted on it from the side hall and asked, "What is the donor's surname?"

"He." He Yue looked at the burning incense. How could she and Ning Rusong be of the same mind? This was almost an absurd fantasy.

The old monk took the talisman and placed it on the table next to him. He wrote the word "congratulations" on it with an indelible red pen. The talisman was also written with the bride's surname and was finally handed to the bride for safekeeping.

"Please keep it, female donor." The old monk handed the talisman to He Yue.

He Yue stroked the edge of the talisman with her fingers, "I will take good care of it and will not let it get worn out."

When I got back to Biyuan, I put it at the bottom of the box so that I wouldn’t have to see it and be bothered by it.

Ning Rushong stretched out his fingers and fiddled with the red tassels on the talisman. This was the thing that his mother had always longed for, but it seemed as if he could get it easily.

The He family can only ask for this one thing in their lifetime, and they have to come in person. The talisman in the Queen Mother's hand actually belongs to the King of the South.

"Imperial nephew!" Prince Nan's anxious voice suddenly appeared at the entrance of the Marriage Palace.

Ning Rusong raised his cold eyes and looked at the anxious Nan Wang standing at the entrance of the palace. He withdrew his hand and asked slowly, "Why did uncle find Tianhe Temple? What important matter has happened?"
