The stunning husband is in love, but she flirts and runs away

Chapter 145: Prayer Lantern

Bai Jing: "My Lord, have you noticed that Lin... uh! The Crown Princess actually cares about you. Seeing you drunk, she was afraid that you would feel uncomfortable. Even though she was so angry, she still remembered to let you drink the hangover soup! What does this mean?"

Xiao Jue: "What does that mean?"

The master and servant looked at each other.

Xiao Jue: "Does this prince need to make himself even more miserable so that she will continue to feel sorry for me?"

"That's right! Master, why don't you follow this line of thought and think carefully about the next response strategy."

Bai Jing became more and more excited as he spoke. Having lived for more than twenty years, he had used almost all of his cleverness in this moment.

Unexpectedly, he could be so smart and clever. Bai Jing suddenly felt as light as if he was walking on cotton.

"Bai Jing, you are really good, let's go! Let's talk while walking..."

Xiao Jue patted Bai Jing's shoulder, walked out of the hospital with a very relieved look on his face, and went straight to Xiao's Medical Clinic where Lin Acai was.

……

However, when he was almost at the entrance of Xiao's Clinic, Xiao Jue suddenly stopped. Bai Jing had just given him so many hints that he had already come up with a perfect idea.

"Master... we're already there. Have you thought it over... are you sure you don't want to go in?"

Xiao Jue: "Bai Jing... How long does it take to get from here to Xihua Temple?"

"Master...it will probably take an hour. In fact, if you want to go to a temple to burn incense, you might as well go to Ci'an Temple. It's closer to here and has more incense."

Bai Jing was right. The people of Kyoto City did prefer to go to Ci'an Temple to burn incense.

But it was obvious that his prince had other plans.

He calculated the time and ordered Bai Jing to return to the Marquis' Mansion and drive the Marquis's carriage straight to Xihua Temple in the suburbs of Beijing.

Xihua Temple was built on a mountainside in the suburbs of Beijing. Not far from the temple is a vast body of water called Yangxin Lake.

Because it is very close to Xihua Temple, half of the pilgrims coming and going come by boat. At this moment, when Xiao Jue got off the carriage, there were a few small boats that had just docked at the shore of the lake not far away.

Several old women were surrounding the two girls and were walking down from the boat.

"Hey...Miss, look, there seems to be a handsome man standing on the shore. It seems that my lady really made the right decision to ask you to come out and worship."

The girl who was called Miss also saw the outstanding young man on the shore the next moment. She just glanced at him shyly and immediately turned her head away, "Mother Zhang, please don't tease me. I really just came here to burn incense."

The people who got off the boat were getting closer and closer to Xiao Jue and his servant.

When they were only a dozen meters away, the handsome and arrogant young man suddenly turned around.

"..."

The middle-aged woman called Mother Zhang suddenly turned pale and felt anxious.

Why did this young man just leave like that?

The rich young lady was also very disappointed, but she did not show it on her face. Instead, she silently clenched the handkerchief in her hand.

I thought this was a marriage sent by God, but I didn't expect that I was just overthinking.

"Master...you just stood at Yangxin Lake for so long. Have you thought of any countermeasures?" Seeing that the prince was smiling all the way, Bai Jing was so curious that he finally mustered up the courage to ask tentatively.

But the prince still smiled and said nothing.

There happened to be a pavilion not far away, and Xiao Jue took Bai Jing inside. "Bai Jing... If I remember correctly, does Xihua Temple have pilgrims with prayer lanterns guarding the Yangxin Lake every year?"

"..."

No, what does the prince mean by saying this?

Does the prince also have to guard the lights on the lake?

I don't know when this tradition started to spread, but it is said that July, when the rainiest month of the year, is the most effective month for keeping lanterns and praying for blessings.

Because one has to sail a lone boat in the center of the lake, and July is the rainiest month of the year, there are only a handful of people who can successfully keep the wishing lanterns.

"Master... you want to keep the lights? But looking at the sky, it's probably going to rain heavily tonight. It's really too dangerous. Why don't you give up this idea?"

Bai Jing is really scared!

The Yangxin Lake is bottomless, and he is a landlubber and cannot swim at all. Night is different from day. If something really happens to the prince, he will be completely helpless and can only watch.

"Bai Jing... don't you think this is the opportunity God has bestowed upon me? You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. I want to see if Ah Cai has me in her heart..."

"..."

It’s over, it’s over…

The prince is crazy!

He actually did such a stupid thing for Miss Lin.

……

As a result, before night fell, Prince Xiao Jue personally held a prayer lantern and slowly walked down the steps of Xihua Temple, and in a blink of an eye he arrived at the edge of Yangxin Lake.

When people heard that Prince Xiao of the Jingyuan Marquis's Mansion was personally keeping the lights on the lake for the sake of his beloved woman, there was an endless stream of people rushing to watch the fun.

"Master...you said you are a very good swimmer, is that true?" Bai Jing was really worried, so he grabbed the prince's arm to confirm again and again.

Yes, he knew that the prince was good at swimming, but he didn't know to what extent the prince was good at swimming.

What if the prince doesn't have a clear understanding of his own swimming ability, how should he deal with it?

He would strangle himself without hesitation!

"Don't worry... your young master is an excellent swimmer, there's nothing to worry about."

More and more people were coming to the shore, and some of them were already looking forward to it and starting to talk.

"I didn't expect that Prince Xiao is such an infatuated man. I only knew that he was good-looking, but I didn't expect that he could be so attentive to the woman he loves."

"Who said it wasn't true!... When you put it that way, I suddenly remembered that according to legend, Marquis Jingyuan is also a man who loves his wife dearly. There is not even a concubine or a maid in the Marquis's mansion. They are indeed a pair of father and son, both of whom are equally infatuated!"

"Alas... Which temple should I go to and burn incense to meet such a good man?"

While the onlookers were praising and sighing, Xiao Jue had already gotten into the rented canoe with the prayer lantern and slowly rowed into the center of Yangxin Lake.

"Young Master... I hope nothing happens to you." Bai Jing stood on the shore feeling uneasy. He suddenly regretted what he had said to the Young Master.

If he hadn't said anything, would the prince not have put himself in danger...

Xiao Jue was alone in the middle of the lake, looking at the prayer lantern on the boat in front of him, and his heart gradually became unusually calm.

He had completely blocked out the noise coming from the shore. In front of him, Lin Acai's face in the light and shadow of the prayer lamp was gradually attracting him, and he had slowly merged with the light and shadow.

Just now, I had the honor of meeting Xiao Jue's daughter by the lake, and at this moment, her eyes were filled with the reflection in the lake.

How great it would be if she could also meet a man who was so devoted to her.

That girl is so lucky...

The lucky girl had just finished her dinner and was strolling in the yard with the royal sister and taking little Tangxin to eat.

"Sister...how long has it been since the master and servant next door showed up?"
