”royal father promised me, my mother …” Within the words that he had yet to say, Sun Jinzi understood without needing to say anything further. His eyes were filled with sadness.
”I believe that if this Empress Dowager knows of your filial piety, she will definitely …”
Jin Chupei shook his head. ”Don't call my mother Queen anymore.” If anyone else were to hear, they would definitely cause trouble, and he did not want Sun Jinzi to be affected by him.
Sun Jinzi nodded her head. She was saying that she was used to it and hadn't changed her mind in a short while, and she also believed that there would be a day when his mother would ascend the throne.
Sun Jinzi turned around and thought about serious matters again, ”Then, how do you plan to handle this matter?”
She only hated her for knowing this matter too late. If she had known this earlier, maybe she would have been able to give him some good advice. However, this matter was somewhat different from her previous life.
In the end, he had to try.
”Senior Sister, didn't you just say that you want to go beg the Safety Glyph for your mother?” Qing Xiu could not bear to see the two of them looking at each other like a concubine, so he urged Sun Jinzi to leave.
Now that the words had come to this point, it was obviously not good for Sun Jinzi to stay any longer. She only gave Jin Chupei a meaningful glance before bringing Mu Tan to the Great Hall.
Sensory Temple's incense had always been burning hot, and the flow of people had never stopped.
Within the great palace, the Buddha was filled with compassion. His appearance was solemn and imposing, with cigarettes curling up all around. All of the pilgrims walked back and forth with solemn and sincere expressions on their faces.
Sun Jinzi was dressed in a plain, simple and elegant moon-white dress, covering her exquisite figure. On the outside, she wore a blue and white fox fur cape, and her face, when lined with the incense, looked even more elegant and peerless, attracting the attention of many pilgrims. Fortunately, all those who came to pay their respects were women, but at most, they only looked at her for a bit.
Only Sun Jinzi still felt uncomfortable, so she simply pulled up the collar of her cape and covered half of her face with the cape.
After exiting the Great Hall, Sun Jinzi stood in front of a thousand year silver tree.
The leaves had fallen, and its age and tree species could be seen only by the nameplate.
Such a large tree would probably cover the entire yard like a canopy when it was in full bloom.
”Miss, why did you beg for two Safety Glyph s?” Mu Tan looked at the two Safety Glyph s in Sun Jinzi's hands with a puzzled expression. She clenched them tightly in her hands, as if she was hesitating and didn't know what to do.
”One is for mother, and the other …” As for the other one, it was given to Sixth Prince Jin Chupei.
Although this matter was different from his previous life's, according to his experience, the result of this event wasn't too different from his previous life's. As a woman, if there was anything she could do, she could only ask Buddha for more protection.
Sun Jinzi held the Safety Glyph tightly, she only wanted to imprint it into her heart so that Buddha could hear her thoughts.
”It seems that fate has brought you a thousand miles to meet. It looks like this prince has indeed been fated to meet the Second Miss Sun.” A fresh and gentle voice came from his side.
Sun Jinzi could faintly hear a hint of light laughter.
”Greetings to Fourth Prince.” Mu Tan lightly pulled Sun Jinzi and immediately lowered her head.
Sun Jinzi took the opportunity to put the Safety Glyph back into her sleeves and looked up at Jin Chuxuan with a bit of suspicion.
He didn't expect that she would meet him even when she came to pray. No matter how much she cursed in her heart, her mouth was already filled with respect towards him.
Jin Chuxuan laughed sinisterly, his voice was clear and bright, which made all the girls, wives and young ladies who passed by, look at him twice uncontrollably.
He had already looked at Sun Jinzi from around the corner and knew that she had begged for two Safety Glyph s.
”The Second Miss Sun believes in Buddha?”
Sun Jinzi lowered her head, and after careful consideration in her heart, she said: ”Buddha is merciful, why not believe it?”
A slight smile hung on Jin Chuxuan's lips, ”Why should I believe that? I think that no matter how many Buddhist temples I have built in this world, it wouldn't be as useful as building a school.”
Sun Jinzi herself agreed with this point of view. However, since she had been reborn, it was natural for her to respect the gods and the Buddha.
”A letter is a spirit, but a sincere heart is also a spirit.” What Sun Jinzi disagreed with was that even if Jin Chuxuan was disrespectful, there was no need to damage the Buddha's prestige so much in front of the Buddha.
While talking, he hadn't realized for a moment that Jin Chuxuan had actually already gotten close to Sun Jinzi. There was only a distance of three steps between the two of them, and it seemed that as long as Sun Jinzi raised her head slightly, she could press against Jin Chuxuan's chin.
A gust of wind blew by, and the fragrance of the cold plum wrapped around Sun Jinzi's body assaulted him. She snapped out of her stupor, and when she looked up, she saw Jin Chuxuan's enlarged face, clear eyes, and charming smile. It was extremely familiar, and also extremely unfamiliar.
