"Miss, Aunt Su's Fenghe Garden has been busy since early this morning. Nanny Wang has really invited a Taoist priest with profound Taoism skills, and he is now discussing the matter of the second young lady with the Prime Minister in the reception room!" Mu Chun placed the breakfast on the table one by one, and told Yun Qianmeng what he had seen!
"Miss, Aunt Su is really anxious. She can't sit still after only half the night!" Aunt Mi set the table for Yun Qianmeng, helped her walk to the table, and spoke with a hint of worry!
Yun Qianmeng smiled faintly. After sitting down, she took a few sips of tea before speaking, "Mammy, you are an elder in the Prime Minister's Mansion. How could you not understand their purpose? Do you think all this is a coincidence? Since the Taoist priest is so powerful, I believe many people must want to see him. How can Su Qing just say so and meet him?"
When Aunt Mi heard this, she was shocked and asked in surprise, "Could it be that they had planned this long ago?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Qianmeng started to have breakfast, as she was afraid she would be busy soon!
"Miss, the master invites you to Fenghe Garden!" Sure enough, Yun Qianmeng had just finished breakfast when she saw Yun Xuanzhi send a nanny who was beside Su Qing to inform her of this matter!
"I understand. You go first! I'll be there soon!" Yun Qianmeng put down her bowl and chopsticks and stood up. Mu Chun immediately put a plain brocade cloak on her. Aunt Mi added rabbit fur gloves for her and finally put the hood of the cloak on Yun Qianmeng's head. Half of the people were left to watch over the garden, and the others walked out of Qiluo Garden!
"Miss!" On the way, he unexpectedly met Aunt Liu and Yun Yan. Seeing that they were in a hurry, he thought they must have just received the news and were rushing to Fenghe Garden!
Especially Aunt Liu's face looked very bad. It seemed that she did not expect Su Qing to act so quickly. What happened last night was prepared today!
What Liu Hanyu didn't expect was that Su Qing was so resourceful that he actually persuaded Yun Xuanzhi to stay in the mansion today. In this way, she couldn't carry out what Yun Qianmeng had instructed her to do yesterday!
Seeing Liu Hanyu's guilty expression, Yun Qianmeng smiled slightly, walked over to her side and said soothingly, "Aunt, don't worry about it. I believe that with father here, even if there are any conspiracies, they will be difficult to form! Let's go and see Second Sister quickly to avoid gossip!"
After being reminded by Yun Qianmeng, Liu Hanyu's expression improved slightly. She immediately nodded in agreement, and everyone hurried to Fenghe Garden...
However, as soon as I arrived at the gate of Fenghe Garden, I smelled a strong scent of incense. I guess the Taoist priest was about to start his ritual!
"Daughter greets father!" "Greetings, master!" The group came to the center of the garden and saw Yun Xuanzhi's figure, and they all saluted!
However, Yun Xuanzhi just glanced at them lightly, waved his hand and asked them to stand up, and then focused his attention on comforting Su Qing. This made Aunt Liu unhappy, but she still walked towards the two of them, comforted Su Qing in a low voice, and said some auspicious words!
Yun Qianmeng walked away from them and, with the support of Mu Chun, walked under a banyan tree, quietly looking at the Taoist priest who was preparing at the moment!
The man was wearing a Taoist robe covered in ashes, and was waving a whisk in the air, as if he was driving away something!
Looking at this person's face again, he has a square face, triangular eyes, a round nose, a big mouth, and yellow-black skin. At this moment, he has his eyes closed, muttering to himself, and coordinating the movements of his hands. He looks a bit like a Taoist priest!
On the table in front of him were placed a series of objects needed for the ritual. Several children beside the table had serious expressions on their faces, standing motionless with whisks in their hands!
"I wonder which Taoist temple it came from?" Yun Qianmeng noticed with sharp eyes that the Taoist priest was wearing a Hetian jade ring on his thumb. He felt amused and asked loudly!
At this time, in the garden, apart from the low-voiced conversations of Yun Xuanzhi and a few others and the roar of Yun Ruoxue in the inner room, there was no other sound. Hearing Yun Qianmeng's question, everyone was stunned, and then they all looked at Yun Qianmeng, wondering why this young lady asked such a question!
The Taoist priest clearly hadn't expected someone to dare question his origins. He paused, opened his triangular eyes, and looked in the direction of the voice. Standing beneath the enormous banyan tree was a remarkably beautiful young girl. In the pale yellow winter sunlight, she was dressed in plain clothing. A hollowed-out lily-shaped jade hairpin slanted across her jet-black hair. Her unpainted face was adorned with a pair of black eyes, brighter than night-shining pearls. The faint smile on the girl's lips momentarily dazzled the Taoist priest, while the children gaped, their mouths wide open, as if they wished they could devour Yun Qianmeng...
Seeing this situation, Yun Xuanzhi frowned slightly, but a vicious smile appeared in Su Qing's eyes!
"How can the Taoist priest exorcise ghosts and save people when his mind is so weak?" Yun Qianmeng glanced around, taking in everyone's reactions. When he looked at the Taoist priest again, sarcasm appeared in his eyes!
Hearing the sarcasm in Yun Qianmeng's words, the Taoist priest immediately straightened his face, put on an appearance of immortality, and said in a high and proud tone, "I am the Taoist priest Yizhen of the Xianzhen Taoist Temple on Floating Cloud Mountain!"
However, after he finished speaking, the triangular eyes of Master Yizhen couldn't help but secretly glance at Yun Qianmeng a few times...
Seeing him so brazenly brazen right under Yun Xuanzhi's nose, Yun Qianmeng let out a cold sneer and then asked, "Floating Cloud Mountain is very far from Kyoto. Even if we gallop, it would take three days to reach it. How did Aunt Su manage to do what my father promised yesterday? Could it be that the Taoist priest calculated fate and arrived in Kyoto early?"
The two consecutive rhetorical questions made Su Qing and Taoist Master Yizhen stunned!
However, before Su Qing could open his mouth, the Taoist Master Yizhen took the opportunity to answer and looked Yun Qianmeng straight in the eye. He said seriously, "This Taoist Master has profound Taoism skills. Some time ago, I learned that something happened in the mansion. In the spirit of seeking the best for life, I came to Kyoto!"
"Miss, the time has come! Let's perform a ritual for Xue'er first!" Seeing the Taoist Master Yizhen with a lustful look, Su Qing was overjoyed, but then she saw Yun Xuanzhi frowning, and Yun Qianmeng looking shrewd. In order to prevent any unexpected changes before the event was accomplished, Su Qing immediately spoke up to remind him!
But the good thing was interrupted, and a trace of annoyance flashed in the eyes of Taoist Yizhen. He glared at Su Qing's back, and then pretended to start the French style...
"Heaven and earth, may all gods and spirits be blessed..." A series of incantations quickly emerged from Yizhen's mouth, while the children beside him stole glances at Yun Qianmeng while absentmindedly doing their work...
Seeing the obscene looks in those men, Mu Chun became furious and immediately stood in front of Yun Qianmeng to prevent these hypocritical people from peeping at her young lady!
At this moment, Na Yizhen pulled out a palm-sized Bagua plate from his sleeve. He held the plate in his left hand while quickly grabbing a handful of ashes from the incense burner with his right hand and violently throwing them towards the Bagua plate. Everyone choked by the ashes squinted their eyes and started coughing...
When everyone turned their gazes towards Yizhen again, they saw him pointing his right finger towards the northwest, and saying to Yun Xuanzhi, "Prime Minister, this little ghost is currently living in the northwest of the palace!"
After these words were spoken, Yun Ruoxue's roar seemed to quiet down a bit. Everyone looked at each other, then at Yun Qianmeng...
