Chapter 385 Master, Master, we must follow the same path to be a good match between master and disciple
I came back too late last night, and when Qiao Wanyan woke up this morning she saw a mountain of gifts in the yard.
"Where did it come from?"
A maid came closer and said, "Young lady, these were sent by the young marquis. He sends gifts every day, and we dare not collect them without permission, so we put them in the corridor, waiting for young lady's order to collect them or send them back."
Qiao Wanyan picked up a small box and opened it to take a look. It was a pearl necklace. The pearls were all the same size and round, and it looked like they were carefully selected.
She put it down casually and said, "Put it in the warehouse. Who doesn't want something for free?"
Zi Yuan walked over, waved her hand to signal the maid to leave, and waited until everyone left before whispering.
"Miss, during your absence, the capital has been in a big uproar regarding Qiao Yihuan. The ministers have blamed the recent disasters in Dayu on Qiao Yihuan to appease public opinion. Please ask the emperor to order the Tianzhao Division to observe the celestial phenomena and predict disasters. The answer from the Tianzhao Division has come out."
Qiao Wanyan walked in the corridor. Natural disasters continued and the court officials were unable to stabilize the people. The national treasury took out real gold, silver and food supplies to settle the victims. If they could use a disaster demon to calm the public opinion and give the emperor an ending, it would be the simplest way.
Thus, the matter was settled.
But Ziyuan's expression was not right. "What did Tianzhaosi say?"
Zi Yuan said, "The ministers wanted to execute Qiao Yihuan, but the Department of Astronomy observed the sky for many days and said that the sky was normal and there was no sign of disaster. The frequent natural disasters were just coincidence. This saved Qiao Yihuan from being executed."
Qiao Wanyan's face was calm. No matter whether her halo had weakened or not, she was ultimately a person favored by luck.
What a disgusting way of heaven.
Zi Yuan added: "The ministers are not satisfied with this result. Some people say that the annual prayer ceremony is coming. The abbot of the National Temple, Jingxin, once said that she has wisdom. Jingxin saves people and has profound Buddhist teachings. We want to ask Jingxin to come and see if Qiao Yihuan is plagued by disasters."
The blessing ceremony is Dayu's annual ritual. Monks from the national temple will come to the capital to spread Buddhism and save the world, and pray for heaven's blessing for Dayu. The empress dowager will also come out from the palace to show her kindness. It is a very important day.
The annual prayer ceremony was very lively, but Qiao Wanyan never believed in it and stayed indoors during this period, as she felt that too many civilians coming from all over the place were disturbing her.
Zi Yuan: "If Abbot Jingxin said that Qiao Yihuan has wisdom and is not a person who is plagued by disasters, then all our arrangements will be ruined."
Qiao Wanyan stood at the intersection and looked to the east, which was the road leading to Ci'en Hall.
"Master, Master, we must walk the same path to make our relationship worthwhile."
If there are any signs, they must be nipped in the bud. Only by stopping them in time can you avoid making her worry.
Even though she had tested his relationship with Qiao Yihuan several times that day and got the answer that he and Qiao Yihuan were not close friends, people and things that could not be controlled and had the potential to ruin her plans should disappear.
That day, Chen Che said that Jing Xin had no intention of saving him, claiming that everything in the world is a personal destiny.
Then it was also his destiny for him to go to the underworld to find his master.
Qiao Wanyan walked away, her tone cold and indifferent.
Disregard for human life.
"Go ahead."
Zi Yuan stopped, nodded slightly, responded, then turned and left.
The imperial palace, the harem.
"Aunt Liu, there's a little eunuch outside looking for you."
Liu Yanran responded. Although she was not yet twenty years old in this body, being called aunt was a symbol of her status in the palace.
It was the Tenth Princess who arranged her into the harem. Although she was young, she was also the dresser in the Shangyi Bureau because of connections.
If the Tenth Princess and Yihuan were not so close now, he would have been able to become the head of the Clothing Bureau no matter what.
Liu Yanran walked out of the door and saw a strange young eunuch, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
The young eunuch nodded repeatedly, "Aunt Liu, your father and brother have come to the capital and asked me to bring you a message. They will be waiting for you at the Ye Gate tomorrow morning."
Liu Yanran was stunned for a moment, "My father and brother?"
Only after she finished speaking did she realize that this body of hers did have a father and a brother, and they were very good people.
In this feudal ancient times, daughters and sons were treated equally. When I first came here, it was because my original body had such a family that I was able to enjoy a very happy time.
But she had been in Beijing for so long that she almost forgot about her family.
I remember that before I came to Beijing, my father was reluctant to let me leave Yongzhou, fearing that a little girl like me would encounter danger and trouble when going out. I insisted on going to Beijing and gave me a lot of money, saying that he would definitely come to Beijing to visit me when he had the chance in the future.
Now, it’s really here!
Liu Yanran said: "I understand, thank you very much."
After saying this, he gave him two taels of silver.
Liu Yanran returned to her residence and planned to take out all the monthly allowance she had saved during this period and bring it back to them. She didn't dare leave the palace during her monthly rest days, and the money would not be of much use if she kept it in her hands, so she decided to keep some just in case.
Anyway, she is now also the wardrobe manager of the Shangyi Bureau, so she doesn't have much money to spend, and sometimes she even gets extra rewards.
Liu Yanran was looking forward to going there today, so she got up early the next morning, dressed, and went to Yemen. When she arrived, the palace gate was not open yet.
When the palace gate was finally opened, Liu Yanran saw an old man and a young boy in the distance, smiling and waving at her.
Especially Liu Yang, who ran towards this side excitedly but was stopped by the guards.
Liu Yanran quickly went over and took Liu Yang's hand and walked towards Liu's father, "Dad, brother, why are you here suddenly? I was shocked when I heard the news!"
Liu Yang smiled and said, "Sister, I thought you would be a doctor when you came to the capital, but I didn't expect you to enter the palace. Sister, is it okay in the palace? Can I see the emperor?"
Father Liu smiled kindly and said, "Seeing that you are living such a good life, I am relieved. My daughter is really promising. When I go back, I will brag about her to the neighbors!"
Liu Yanran felt a little embarrassed by the compliment, and a sense of superiority rose in her heart.
In modern times, she was not the best at anything, but in ancient times, she lived a prosperous life and even became a female official.
It’s not that she doesn’t have the ability, it’s that the environment doesn’t give her the space to display her abilities!
"Yanran, are you taking a day off today? If you can take a little longer, Dad will take you out for a delicious meal! If you are free, don't delay your work. Dad will be very happy to see that you are doing well!"
Liu Yanran was a little hesitant. She actually didn't want to leave the palace because there was someone in the capital whom she wanted to avoid.
Liu Yang said: "Sister, Dad and I finally came to the capital, you can stay with us for a while! I also want to take you to meet a friend!"
"Friend?" Liu Yanran was puzzled.
Father Liu smiled and nodded, looking mysterious.
Liu Yanran looked at the expectant expressions of the father and son, and finally couldn't bear to refuse.
"Okay. I do have a day off today, so I can stay out all day. It's a good opportunity for our family to get together."
As long as I take the main roads and go to crowded places, I won’t be so unlucky as to meet Qiao Wanyan.
