Warm sunlight streamed in through the window lattice. Inside, an old man and two young men sat cross-legged, the aroma of tea wafting upward from the low table. Her Highness straightened her back. "Master, your Taoism is profound. I'm sure you already know the purpose of my visit. In that case, I'll trouble you with the Spring Festival Ceremony in ten days."
"Your Highness has given an order, and I dare not refuse."
Master Le Fan bowed his head deeply and kept a humble attitude throughout.
The smile in Xihe's eyes deepened, and his gaze shifted slightly, landing on the young man beside him. Yuanfu's face was obviously confused. When he saw Xihe looking at him, he immediately blinked: "Princess, what's wrong?"
Xihe smiled and said, "Isn't Madam Yuan here to see the Master? I have nothing else to do, so please ask her to come over."
Yuan Fu's eyes lit up: "Wang Ba, go call my mother!"
In the temple's guest house, Madam Yuan was chatting with several familiar ladies. She was wearing brocade silk clothes, pearls and jade, and her maids were serving her. They were discussing which daughter in the capital was suitable to be a daughter-in-law when suddenly a maid came in and reported that Master Le Fan wanted to see her.
The ladies were stunned and subconsciously looked at Madam Yuan. Their visiting cards were in front of her.
Madam Yuan was also stunned, then her face lit up with joy and she quickly stood up: "Sisters, I'll go ahead." She hurriedly left the yard with her maid.
After Madam Yuan left, the discussion in the guest house suddenly became louder. Master Le Fan was not the kind of person who wanted to be special.
In his eyes, princes, nobles, and common people all have equal status. Unless the Empress Dowager comes in person, everyone will be served on a first-come, first-served basis and there will be no special treatment. What's going on today?
In the Zen room, Xihe was discussing Buddhism with the master, but before Yuan's wife Song Chenyin arrived, she arrived first.
Master Liao Fan hesitated: "Your Highness?"
Xihe moved the black chess piece in his hand and sat steadily: "Since you are a guest, Master, please make your own decision."
Master Le Fan put his hands together and chanted "Amitabha". "Wang Chen, go tell Donor Song that I have a distinguished guest here and ask her to wait a little longer."
The little monk retreated respectfully.
Xi He smiled faintly: "Master, have you thought it through? She is the future headmistress of the Gu family, and she is invaluable."
There are not many people in the whole capital who can get Lu Fan to comment on them. Yuan Fu said that "the lucky star has descended to the earth", Gu Ye said that "the seven killers", and Song Chenyin said that "the price is beyond words".
Let’s not talk about Yuanfu for now, but Qi Sha is a general star, and when he meets the emperor, he has power, so Le Fan had already seen through everyone’s future.
But now he is blocking Song Chenyin, who is destined to become the queen, from the door. Is he so fearless of death?
Le Fan smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, why do you have to tease me? Is there anyone in the world more valuable than you? Or..." Cibei's eyes were full of determination, "Are you willing to be inferior to others?"
"Of course I don't want to!"
After saying this, Xihe burst into laughter: "You dare to bet."
Le Fan breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves gradually relaxed: "I just saw Her Highness." Her Highness the Crown Princess, who is above everyone else and below everyone else.
Therefore, even if the mountains and seas are overturned and the world is turned upside down, he will try his best for the sake of his disciples.
Fortunately, His Highness accepted his surrender.
"Okay."
Xihe stood up, waved her sleeves, and walked towards the door: "Where is the kitchen? It's getting late, I have to go back after eating vegetarian food."
"I know. I'll take you there."
Yuanfu understood this and quickly led the way.
The sun was setting in the west. Many people were standing outside the courtyard waiting for Master Le Fan. Suddenly, there was a creak, and the door opened. The familiar Princess Jin Rong walked out, followed by the young master of the Yuan family and Master Le Fan.
Ladies and gentlemen: ???
Le Fan waved his hand, and Wang Chen hurried over to lead the way.
The woman was wearing a royal blue dress and had a noble temperament. She walked calmly past the crowd and was respectfully led to the backyard by Master Le Fan's closed disciple.
Song Chenyin couldn't help but clench her handkerchief tightly, and her long eyebrows frowned slightly.
However, from beginning to end, Xihe never looked in her direction. Song Chenyin couldn't help but lose her mind, Your Highness... Lefan smiled and invited Madam Yuan into the yard.
Everyone: “…”
Madam Yuan ignored the gaze and quickly entered the yard.
Sitting down on the futon, Madam Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Princess Jinrong?" Is she interested in her son?
Le Fan poured her a cup of tea and said, "Mr. Yuan is a blessed man."
Madam Yuan's face froze, her heart instantly gripping her. The princess actually, actually fell in love with her son!!!
After that, he was in a daze and had no idea what Master Le Fan was talking about. He said something random and hurried out, looking for his son all over the temple. However, when he asked, he found out that his son had followed the princess back to the city!
a bolt from the blue! !
Madam Yuan's face turned pale and she grabbed the maid: "Hurry, hurry, get down the mountain!"
She ran down the mountain without noticing the hesitant looks of the ladies behind her. As soon as she got home, she ran straight to the study, hugged her husband and started crying loudly.
Lord Yuan was completely confused, and after being asked about the details, he began to panic.
His son was so frail and weak that he couldn't even withstand a whip from the princess.
He called his son and asked what the relationship between Yuanfu and the princess was. Yuanfu was full of excitement and said, "Dad, I want to marry the princess. Please help me propose to His Majesty!"
Madam Yuan's body swayed and she fainted.
...Until he was locked in the room, Yuanfu still couldn't understand why his parents would rather believe what outsiders said about the princess than what their son said? The princess was so kind.
Seeing that he was not going to eat unless he agreed to the marriage proposal, the eldest brother of the Yuan family felt extremely helpless and said, "You two are not suitable."
Yuanfu was unconvinced: "Back then, mother also said that you and sister-in-law were not suitable! Aren't you living happily together now? Big brother, you are too disloyal. Have you forgotten who was your carrier pigeon in the past... woo woo woo."
The eldest brother of the Yuan family subconsciously looked around. Wang Xiaoer, who was squatting in the corner, scratched his head and chuckled: "Don't worry, young master, I'm very tight-lipped."
The eldest brother of the Yuan family took a deep breath and felt that the task of being the eldest son was really arduous and long.
On the tenth day, several major events took place in the capital. The first was that the Gu family sent a matchmaker to the Song family, and the two families officially got engaged. General Gu was once again engaged, and the noble ladies in the capital shed countless tears. The second thing was that Lord Yuan submitted a memorial to the emperor, proposing marriage, wanting to marry Princess Jinrong.
Everyone: ? ? You’re crazy.
The emperor also looked at him as if he was talking nonsense and said firmly: "I don't agree!"
He is really a toad wanting to eat swan flesh. His daughter Jinrong is a princess, a daughter of a wealthy family, so naturally she should be paired with the best man in the world. He Yuanfu is sickly, but he still dares to covet the princess. He must be crazy.
Lord Yuan knelt down quickly and said, "I obey your command."
I was very happy in my heart and said, son, it’s not your father’s fault, it’s His Majesty who doesn’t agree.
Yuanfu was in disbelief when he heard the news. Just when everyone thought he was going to burst into tears and finally give up, Yuanfu took a deep breath, grabbed his father's hand, and said sincerely, "Dad, from today on, you will ask His Majesty once a day until he agrees."
