Bei Yutang didn't expect his reaction to be like this.
She thought that after so long, he had walked out of the shadow, but now it seems that he had not, but had hidden it well deep inside.
Bei Yutang hugged his small body, "Mother won't abandon you. What I said just now was just a casual question."
"Really?" Xiao Moer looked at her nervously with tears in her eyes, her hands still tightly holding her body.
"Really. As long as Mo'er doesn't dislike mother, how could mother not want you?"
Xiao Mo'er hurriedly shook her head, "I don't mind, I don't mind. Mother is the best. I don't want anything but mother."
"Silly child."
Bei Yutang thought silently.
She wanted to tell him something, but when she saw his appearance at that moment, she gave up.
Xiao Moer's maturity and stability sometimes made her ignore his age. His crying just now reminded her that he was just a child of five or six years old. No matter how mature his mind was or how smart he was, he was still a child after all.
There are some things that he shouldn't have to endure at his age.
Bei Yutang and Xiao Moer were on guard duty. While they were on guard duty, the little guy kept holding her hand, fearing that she would run away.
Since that night, Xiao Moer and Bei Yutang have been inseparable. Dai Xiang and Xue Qian didn't know the situation, but they just felt that Xiao Moer was particularly attached to Bei Yutang after the New Year.
In the blink of an eye, it was the sixth day of the first lunar month.
The sixth day of the first lunar month is the annual day of prayer for the Southern Tang Kingdom. All the people in Chang'an City and its surrounding areas will gather at Wanshou Temple to pray for blessings.
This prayer is very important to the people of Chang'an City in the past, and it is even more important to Gu Pianran.
Because on this year's blessing day, Master Wu Chen, who had been traveling outside, came back.
Master Wuchen was a highly accomplished Taoist, rumored to be the reincarnation of the Buddha. At his birth, he was bathed in the radiance of Buddha and the sound of Buddhist chants. His fame extended beyond the Southern Tang Dynasty, encompassing the Zhou Dynasty, the Shu Kingdom, the Wu Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom, and other states.
Every time after Master Wu Chen gave a lecture and prayed for blessings, he would choose a person with a predestined relationship and have her fortune told.
Anyone chosen by Master Wuchen would become the object of all the nobles' fawning, because the person chosen by Master Wuchen would often become a regional hegemon. Not to mention the nobles, even the emperor would pay special attention to that person.
This time, the person chosen by Master Wu Chen was none other than Gu Pianran.
Gu Pianran's status also rose as a result, and she became a woman that the princes of the Southern Tang Kingdom and the surrounding countries wanted to marry.
Ordinary people might not have heard the news from Master Wuchen yet, but the princes and nobles in Chang'an City had received the news long ago. At dawn, the princes and nobles set out early and rushed to the Jokhang Temple.
Bei Yutang knew about this, so he naturally prepared a carriage in advance, woke up Dai Xiang and Xue Qian from their sleep, and took advantage of the convenience of those princes and nobles to leave the city.
At the foot of the Jokhang Temple, guards were already maintaining order as they ascended the mountain. When they reached the mountain gate, a large number of people had already gathered there, each holding a lotus flower and carrying incense and candles, waiting quietly.
In front of the temple, there was no distinction between nobles and common people, and everyone was treated equally at the gate. Despite this, the common people would still step aside when they saw the nobles.
There was a clear division in front of the mountain gate: on one side were high-ranking officials and nobles dressed in gorgeous clothes, and on the other side were ordinary people wearing coarse cloth clothes.
