After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

No matter how clever Nian Susu was, Qin Wenyuan was not someone who could be easily fooled. He put on a stern face and said mysteriously, "I can't tell you now."

Nian Susu said that he didn't care, but he was secretly complaining about Qin Wenyuan in his heart. How could a child be so difficult to deal with? Could it be that he had been with Qin Junyu for too long and was influenced by him?

She muttered a few words and didn't ask any more questions.

She can't do the job of coaxing children, and she doesn't want to do it.

She had already given up asking questions, but Qin Wenyuan said, "But if you behave well, I can consider telling you."

This did not arouse much curiosity and desire to conquer in Nian Susu, perhaps because he knew deep down that he was a "smart" child.

He didn't believe half of what Qin Wenyuan said, and he didn't listen to the other half, and he didn't dare to believe any of it.

Nian Susu smacked his lips and said, "Come on, forget it. I don't really want to know."

Seeing that she was not falling for it, Qin Wenyuan felt frustrated and pouted his lips without saying anything to her.

The two of them remained in a stalemate all the way to Ganlin Temple.

Someone from the palace had already come to greet people. When the abbot learned that the empress from the palace would come to pray and stay for half a month, he ordered people to clean up the meditation room in advance and provide all daily necessities.

As for which lady was coming, who were her entourage, and what their identities were, the one who came from the palace did not reveal.

The host tried to inquire in a roundabout way many times, but to no avail.

Several luxurious carriages stopped at the side door of Ganlin Temple, and the abbot personally brought people to pick them up.

Concubine Xin was the first to get off the carriage, helped by the palace maids. Then Xiao Yunzheng, who was riding in the same carriage with her, jumped down heroically.

Concubine Xin brought only a few followers, all of whom were there to protect the Fifth Prince. Since they were coming under the name of praying for blessings, they could not be too ostentatious or extravagant, lest they be criticized. If even the empress in the palace was like this, it would not be easy for Nian Susu and others to bring maids with them. They could only fend for themselves in Ganlin Temple.

"This is Ganlin Temple." Xiao Yunzheng sighed, his eyes rolling around.

Ganlin Temple is located halfway up a mountain, with a mountain behind the temple. On the mountain is a bamboo forest, surrounded by clouds and mist, with bamboo joints appearing and disappearing from time to time, making it look like a fairyland.

It is said that Ganlin Temple is very popular and attracts pilgrims like a swarm of fish. But no one would have thought that the temple gate is so shabby and there is not even a plaque.

Xiao Yunzheng did not hide her disappointment that her expectations were too high but the reality did not meet her expectations. "It feels no different from the temples in Beijing..."

The host seemed to have guessed what she was thinking and explained to her with a smile: "My dear donor, this is the side gate of the Buddhist temple. Because your master said he didn't want to be too conspicuous, he didn't let the carriage stop at the main gate."

Xiao Yunzheng suddenly understood.

It turned out that she had misunderstood. Her face turned red and she dared not look at the host anymore.

Nian Susu and others got off the carriage one after another and married Concubine Xin. Qin Wenyuan was quite close to his mother. Concubine Xin waved at him and he went over, but he had no intention of holding her hand.

The host took a look at these girls. They were all pretty, graceful, dignified and self-possessed. At first glance, they were obviously daughters of official families.

His gaze finally fell on Li Yaoyuan. He smiled meaningfully and quickly looked away.

Except for Li Yaoyuan herself, no one else noticed the meaningful look in his eyes.

Li Yaoyuan felt frightened and that look made her very uncomfortable.

The red robes on the host were very eye-catching. A certain thought flashed through her mind and was immediately suppressed in her heart.

I hope she is overthinking...

The abbot led them towards the Zen temple, and along the way there was a section of the road where they could see the main hall.

Just a glance from a distance can tell that there are crowds of pilgrims.

Nian Susu looked at them for a few more times, and when she turned the corner and entered the backyard, she whispered to Xin Jieyu, "Madam, it seems that most of the pilgrims are women. Why is that?"

All I saw were women in silk skirts, and there were almost no men.

Xin Jieyu chuckled and praised her for being so sharp and able to notice such small details.

"Do you know what is the most effective thing to pray for in Ganlin Temple?" Concubine Xin asked her back.

Nian Susu thought about it and realized that what women care about most is appearance. Could it be that Ganlin Temple also worships a god who can keep people forever young and beautiful?

This idea was quickly rejected. If this were true, the abbot of Ganlin Temple should be a young and beautiful girl, not an old man.

"I don't know." She shook her head.

The host answered the question for her: "It's fate."

Xin Jieyu nodded, "Yes, marriage."

Nian Susu looked surprised but felt contemptuous in his heart, feeling that the finale would be white rice.

It would be better to say that praying for wealth is the most effective, so that she might kneel in the temple for a long time and repeat the words "money come" tens of millions of times.

She almost forgot that girls not only care about their appearance, but also whether they can find a good husband in the future. Ganlin Temple can be said to cater to their tastes and adapt to market demand.

Nian Susu was no longer interested, but Xin Jieyu was still explaining to her: "Many girls who came to Ganlin Temple to seek marriage found good families soon after they returned. Word spread, and girls all liked to come here."

Nian Susu does not agree with this, it is just survivor bias.

After hearing what Xin Jieyu said, the smile on the host's face became more obvious, and it was mixed with some other emotions.

Xiao Yunzheng was very interested and nudged Nian Susu, "Hey, is it really that effective? How about we give it a try?"

Nian Susu twitched the corner of his mouth, "No, I still like the God of Wealth."

"Tsk, money-grubber." Xiao Yunzheng gave up on attacking Nian Susu and turned to persuade Li Yaoyuan.

But Li Yaoyuan's attitude was even colder than Nian Susu's. She was full of worries and didn't even bother to smile.

"My lord, the Zen temple is in front of us." The abbot stepped aside to make way for the road ahead. "This place is specially reserved for you lords to stay. I will not go in."

After saying that, he glanced at Li Yaoyuan intentionally or unintentionally.

Li Yaoyuan seemed to have sensed something and hid behind Xiao Yunzheng without making a sound.

Xin Jieyu thanked her and the host left.

Xin Jieyu did not know the grudges among the girls who came, so she assigned them meditation rooms at random.

There were two double rooms and one single room, but Wang Yuejiao and Xiao Yunzheng stayed in one room, Li Yaoyuan and Nian Qiaoyue stayed in another, and Nian Susu was "lucky" enough to get a single room.

Needless to say, Concubine Xin and Qin Wenyuan both stayed in single rooms, and the remaining rooms were left for the entourage to stay in and protect the Fifth Prince at close range.

Xiao Yunzheng was very dissatisfied and tried to exchange rooms with Nian Qiaoyue.

But Nian Qiaoyue was unwilling to do so. She knew Wang Yuejiao's personality. If she lived with her, she would definitely be looked down upon. She would rather live with Li Yaoyuan. At least Li Yaoyuan would not bully others.

She entered the meditation room first with her bag, without giving anyone a chance to discuss.

Wang Yuejiao has such strong hostility towards Li Yaoyuan, so they cannot live together.

As for exchanging rooms with Nian Susu and living in a single room by herself...she couldn't do such a selfish thing.

Xiao Yunzheng had no choice but to accept her fate.

Everyone dispersed and went back to their rooms to pack up.

When Xiao Yunzheng entered the room, she saw Wang Yuejiao sitting on the edge of the bed with a sour face, as if someone had offended her.
