Bai Yuer ran to Mo Junran, staring at him with bright eyes, and had already taken out two identical edge stones in her hand. She handed them over shyly.
"You haven't got it yet, have you?"
"This one is for you. I personally selected it from the abbot. The abbot said that these two stones were mined together, so there's a high chance they'll be a successful pairing."
Everyone: “……?”
Everyone present reacted and their eyes fell on the stones in Bai Yu'er's hands. The color of the two stones was obviously different from the others. It was a light yellow, and the two stones were exactly the same...
Cheating!
Many noble ladies' faces turned pale.
Some noble ladies couldn't help but tighten their handkerchiefs in their hands, gazing at Bai Yu'er with gritted teeth, their back teeth almost squeaking.
How shameless!!
What about the upbringing and etiquette of the Duke’s Mansion?
Many people looked at the Duke's wife, but they saw that she was not displeased at all. Instead, she had a smile on her face... She looked very happy and proud.
As expected - if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams will also be crooked.
However, Prince Fozi will definitely not want it.
after all……
But the next moment.
Those who still thought that the Buddhist Prince was not like an ordinary mortal witnessed with their own eyes the Buddhist Prince, who seemed to be beyond the mortal world, stretching out his slender and handsome hand and taking the stone of fate.
There was a sudden silence all around.
"Thanks."
His voice was low and soft.
Looking at Bai Yu'er, his eyes softened unexpectedly, and his whole body seemed to be instantly tainted with a hint of worldly air.
But everyone: “…?”
Why do I feel like the white lotus in my heart has been eaten by maggots?
"The Emperor has arrived—"
At this moment, a shrill voice sounded.
Emperor Wenyuan came with Abbot Wuji and Old Master Bai.
Emperor Wenyuan saw what happened to Bai Yuer just now from afar, and naturally he also saw the scene where Mo Junran took the edge stone from her hand.
His face turned black.
If he didn't have to maintain his imperial dignity, he would probably have wanted Mo Junran to throw the stone in his hand.
Especially when he got closer and saw Bai Yu'er, with a bloody nose and a silly grin, his teeth protruding, the veins on his forehead throbbed. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Abbot Wuji say from behind, "Your Majesty, burn incense to the Buddha first. The auspicious time is approaching."
Only then did Emperor Wenyuan suppress his emotions.
When he passed Mo Junran, he said to him, "Aran, follow me."
Mo Junran nodded.
Everyone saluted at this time.
Old Master Bai stopped beside Bai Yu'er, smiled and patted her shoulder, "Little Yu'er, you did a good job. A daughter of our Bai family should have this kind of courage. If you like someone, you should take the initiative. Don't be as shy as those effeminate women. If you do that, you will miss your own marriage."
Everyone couldn't help but twitch their lips.
Womany chirp?
Women are supposed to be gentle and submissive, follow female virtues, have a sense of shame, and understand etiquette. Why did Mr. Bai say that, as if the noble ladies they carefully nurtured were just a bunch of trash!
Many people were speechless.
No wonder Bai Yu'er is still unmarried at her age, it turns out the root of the problem is here! !
Not long after, Empress Dowager Bai and Princess Yuchang also came over.
Abbot Wuji had already had the young monks light incense and distribute it. Emperor Wenyuan and Empress Dowager Bai took the lead in bowing three times to the golden Buddha. Then Abbot Wuji said, "All donors who have taken fate stones, please take out your respective fate stones."
Not only the female members were given edge stones.
Even Xiao Yun and those unmarried sons of aristocratic families were given some stones. They were all gray stones, except for Bai Yu'er and Mo Junran, which were light yellow.
Emperor Wenyuan glanced at him and his face darkened slightly.
But when he caught a glimpse of Queen Mother Bai smiling so lovingly beside him, he could only remain silent.
"Hold the stone in your hands tightly."
"Then sit cross-legged and pray silently to the Buddha in your heart. If there is a destiny between you, the stone of destiny will break open, and the butterflies will fly towards each other in pairs. If there is no destiny between you and the person present, the stone of destiny will not move, or even if it breaks open, the butterflies will not fly towards each other."
Broken shell?
Butterfly?
The ladies present subconsciously glanced at the stones in their hands. They were hard, and the feel and color were almost the same as other stones found lying around. How could such stones break apart and turn into butterflies?
"Okay, everyone sit down and pray silently."
Abbot Wuji spoke in a very gentle voice.
The cassock on his body sparkled in the sun, and his compassionate smile, like that of Maitreya Buddha, was eerily similar to the golden Buddha behind him.
Everyone present was shocked.
The ladies did not dare to delay and sat down cross-legged.
Even Emperor Wenyuan couldn't help but feel a little more pious.
Except for Yang Zhao——
She glanced at Abbot Wuji on the platform, a hint of amusement in her eyes. The fabric of the cassock came from her shop, a kind of material that shone slightly under the refraction of sunlight, and the golden body of the Buddha... should have been coated with a layer of luminous gold powder.
He also put a little on his face, and had the standard smile of Maitreya Buddha.
Um!
It looks quite realistic.
However, when all the noble ladies sat down, Yang Zhao did not do anything special. She sat in an inconspicuous position in the corner and sat down with Xiao Xier.
As for the 'edge stone', she also held it in her hand.
"aunt."
Xiao Xier called her softly.
Yang Zhao turned his head slightly.
Xiao Xier took out several stones from her arms and asked in a low voice, "I don't remember which one it was."
"Any one will do."
After thinking about it, in order to avoid any accidents, Yang Zhao took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and grabbed a piece that was harder than stone and stuffed it into Xiao Xier's hand. She stuffed the rest into the cushion under her butt.
Whatever.
Or some calculation.
Even if the stone really broke through the shell, it would crush me to death under my buttocks...
Xier looked at the stones, hesitated for a moment, and still said nothing. She just looked at the stones in her hand, touched them as if she liked them, and then followed the others, clasping her hands together and closing her eyes, looking so cute.
Yang Zhao did not put his hands together.
Because she was still holding the cold hot water bottle in one hand.
In addition, she deliberately dressed to look normal, but in fact her clothes were thin and breathable. Even under the sun, she did not sweat at all. She also hung a strong insect repellent sachet around her waist.
The clothes were also coated with a kind of powder that is difficult for ordinary people to smell.
It can make birds and dogs dislike it.
She had already tried it with Xiao Hei at home, but as soon as Xiao Hei smelled it, he howled and ran away.
Regardless of whether it was a coincidence or a conspiracy by the Wing King, he would not give him that opportunity...
"Well, the time has come."
