Chapter 202 Auspicious Signs
[It's this old monk again. He was the one who left my mother alone last time and said something to her. I wonder if he said anything bad about me.]
[Forget it, he saved my second brother's life! ]
[Seeing how the Empress Dowager respects him, I think he must be very accomplished! ]
After meeting Lu Xingwan's eyes, Master Mingze finally smiled and said, "I didn't expect that after not seeing you for half a year, Princess Yongan has become even more beautiful."
[An old monk with a slick tongue.]
But Lu Xingwan didn't fall for it.
Now it was the Emperor of Chu's turn to want to cover her mouth, but fortunately he was the only one who could hear it.
"I didn't expect that Master Mingze had met Princess Yong'an." This time it was the Queen who spoke. It was said that Master Mingze of the Great Chu had a very high level of cultivation.
Some people even say that Master Mingze's master is from the world of immortal cultivation!
But they are just rumors. There is no such thing as a world of immortal cultivation in this world.
"Amitabha, I think this is the Empress," Master Mingze looked into Shen Ning's eyes, but saw some clues from her gentle face.
Shen Ning seemed to be afraid of Master Mingze's direct gaze at her. His eyes were too sharp, as if he saw through her.
He lowered his head quickly.
Seeing her like this, Master Mingze did not inquire further. He just smiled and looked at Lu Xingwan again: "I was fortunate enough to meet Princess Yong'an once in Mingjing Temple. I miss her very much."
[Look, look, what is he saying? What does he mean by missing you? I just met you once, why are you making it seem like we are old acquaintances?]
[Oh my, luckily I am a child. If I were a girl, wouldn’t it be unfair to ruin my reputation?]
Master Mingze seemed to feel that his words were inappropriate, and hurriedly added: "It was I who made the mistake."
"Princess Yong'an is a sign of good fortune that only comes once in a thousand years. Her birth in the Chu Kingdom is truly a blessing for the Chu Kingdom."
People had heard about this auspicious sign from the Emperor of Great Chu before, and they thought it was just nonsense that the Emperor of Great Chu made up because he loved his young daughter.
Unexpectedly, Master Mingze also said so.
For a moment, all eyes in the hall turned to Lu Xingwan.
【What are you looking at me for! 】
[Don't look at me with ulterior motives like that. I have lost all my spiritual power and am now a complete waste.]
[It's nothing more than that he can walk earlier than other children, and maybe he will be able to speak earlier in the future.]
"It is my great fortune to have the chance to see Princess Yong'an in my lifetime."
After saying this, he looked at the Great Chu Emperor and said, "With Princess Yong'an here, we will be able to protect the Great Chu Kingdom for thousands of years."
The Great Chu Emperor was very excited when he heard this. He slammed the table and almost spilled the wine on it. "Master Mingze, are you serious?"
Although I had seen the golden lotus descending on Qingyun Palace when Wanwan was born, and even could hear Wanwan's voice, I was able to avoid many disasters because of this.
The Emperor of Great Chu has always believed that Wanwan is his lucky star.
But when these words came from Master Mingze's mouth, they took on a whole different meaning.
"Don't say more." Master Mingze refused to say anything more. He just respectfully performed the Buddhist ritual and sat down on the seat prepared for him by the Queen Mother.
This meal was, of course, different from others, as it consisted of only the finest vegetarian dishes.
Lu Xingwan's next words almost made the Great Chu Emperor and Song Qingyan cry.
[Is this old monk here just to eat for free? ]
The Emperor of Great Chu silently counted his sins in his heart and atoneed for his own sins every night.
Song Qingyan also took the bracelet made of Buddhist beads on Lu Xingwan's wrist and showed it to her, meaning to tell her that this old monk even gave her his own Buddhist beads, so she should have some conscience.
With Master Mingze's words, everyone on the field looked at Lu Xingwan and Song Qingyan differently.
"I never thought that the Imperial Concubine was so lucky. Princess Yong'an actually came out of her womb."
"Speaking of which, the Imperial Concubine has had a smooth life! The daughter of the Dingguo Marquis's mansion has grown up in luxury since she was a child. After entering the palace, she was named a concubine. Now she is already the Imperial Concubine. Not to mention, giving birth to a daughter like this will surely be infinitely doted on in the future."
"I wonder if the Empress will mind that the Imperial Concubine is so favored."
......
Naturally, there are also people who are jealous of Lu Xingwan.
The one who hated her the most was Lu Xinghui.
She was now staring at Lu Xingwan with her eyes fixed. It was because of her appearance that her father disliked her, and now he disliked her brother too. She had to compromise and try to please the old woman, the Queen Mother.
If my mother were still alive, I would still be the most favored princess in the palace.
From now on, Lu Xingwan will definitely step on my head.
I must make her look good.
Everyone enjoyed the singing and dancing for a while. The Queen Mother felt a little tired and stood up with the help of Nanny Su beside her. The Queen also stood up quickly.
"Quickly sit down, Your Majesty!" The Queen Mother waved her hand gently, motioning her to sit down first, "I have been here for a long time, and I am a little tired, so I will go back to the palace first."
He turned around and looked at the people in the hall: "Now that we have finished our meal, you can walk around the Yu Garden by yourselves. The flowers in the Yu Garden are in full bloom now!"
Everyone was busy expressing gratitude.
After the Queen Mother left, the Emperor of Great Chu also left Xuanfu Palace on the pretext of having something to deal with.
The prince naturally followed the footsteps of the Emperor of Great Chu, firstly for protection, and secondly, the assassin should be handed over to his father for trial.
After the Queen Mother and His Majesty left, everyone felt much more relaxed than before.
At the Queen's signal, all the young men and women walked towards the Yu Garden.
Lin Yin was so focused on finding Song Zhuo that she didn't notice what He Yunyao was talking about with the third princess.
But Lin Yin looked around but didn't find Song Zhuo.
When she thought about how she dressed up carefully today but didn't even get to see Song Zhuo, she felt even more upset.
As luck would have it, Qionghua came over from the other side of the garden.
The Queen Mother originally wanted Qiong Hua to attend her birthday banquet today. After all, she had been in such good health these days, all thanks to Qiong Hua's medicine.
However, considering that Qionghua has always been a free girl, Song Qingyan did not bring her with her.
Instead of letting her be confined in the Xuanfu Palace, it is better to let her feel comfortable in the palace.
Qionghua came to Xuanfu Palace at this time because she got the news from Miss Jinxin that the Queen Mother and His Majesty had passed away, and asked Miss Qionghua to come to Xuanfu Palace to take a look.
Only then did Qionghua come leisurely and happily through the Yu Garden.
Lin Yin took a look and didn't expect to see Qiong Hua in the palace. Why didn't she see her in the hall just now? Could she be a relative of some queen and had just gone to that queen's palace?
While Lin Yin was trying to come to her senses, Qiong Hua had already arrived beside her.
