A snowfall in August made people in the capital panic, but the snow fell in a strange way and disappeared quickly. In the history, many women who went to Izumo Temple to pray for children felt the evil spirits in their stomachs being expelled after being touched by the snow.
The pressure on Shanling Temple was also greatly reduced, and a woman even boldly asked Baimei.
Baimei has now decided to stay in Shanling Temple and be a temple priest. As for the people's problems, he just smiles mysteriously.
Thinking that auspicious snow could drive away evil spirits and was a good omen, the people felt relieved.
This incident was exposed, but the reputation of the Shanling Temple's spiritual water became more and more famous, and people came to ask for water every day.
In the court, after ten days, Xiao Chenyan recovered all the dirty silver and completed the task perfectly.
But the prince's party looked very unhappy. In the morning, a group of censors impeached Xiao Chenyan for beating the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and the prince's party wanted to take advantage of this to make trouble.
However, before they could take action, the old emperor's imperial edict arrived again.
This time, the imperial edict caused an uproar in the whole hall.
After Yun Houxing and Wang Yu were beheaded, the positions of Minister and Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue remained vacant. The Ministry of Revenue was related to the foundation of the country, so it was necessary to have someone in charge.
Many people in the court are eyeing this lucrative position.
As a result, the old emperor issued an imperial decree, ordering Xiao Chenyan to temporarily take over the position of the Ministry of Revenue, and promoted a little-known Langzhong of the Ministry of Revenue to the position of Left Vice Minister.
All the civil and military officials in the court were stunned by the blow, and the crown prince also looked incredulous.
Before, they all thought that the old emperor was suppressing King Yan, but what was going on now?
If the old emperor still cared about his grandson, Prince Yan, then why did he bestow the title of "Yan" on him, banish him to the northern border, and even tacitly allow the crown prince to take action against him after he returned to the capital? How could this be true?
But to say that it is biased towards the prince and giving the Ministry of Revenue to Xiao Chenyan is like slapping the prince in the face.
The thoughts of all the civil and military officials were surging, but the man at the center of the storm looked normal. Everyone thought that after the court session, Xiao Chenyan would be eager to go to the Ministry of Revenue, but who would have thought that he would go straight out of the palace.
In front of Yuzhao's door, Xie Shu called Xiao Chenyan and handed a note over.
Xiao Chenyan did not answer.
Xie Shu said in a light tone: "Xie Lingbichen, I want to invite you and the princess to my house."
Xiao Chenyan took the note, but said, "It's her business, I don't make the decision."
The implication is that whether he is happy or not, Qing Wu is happy or not, it is none of his business.
Xie Shu was not angry either. Xiao Chenyan had just taken over the Ministry of Revenue and was bound to be busy.
It wasn't that Xiao Chenyan deliberately gave him the cold shoulder, but ever since that incident that year, there had been a gap between him and Xiao Chenyan.
This time, if his mother and brother had not kept nagging him to deliver the invitation, he would not have done this.
Although Xiao Chenyan had cleared up the scene that Qing Wu had performed with him at Chuyun Temple, Xie Shu felt that it still damaged Qing Wu's reputation and he should keep his distance.
Xie Shu had to go back to the Dali Temple to report for duty, so he asked, "Is Madam Mu still staying at your house?"
"yes."
"Wang Yulang's identity is a problem."
Xie Shu only said this one sentence, but Xiao Chenyan could probably think of more.
Wang Yu was beheaded and his family members were exiled. Mu Ying divorced Wang Yu and was naturally spared, but Wang Yulang was actually Wang Yu's son.
Logically speaking, Wang Yu and his other family members had been dealt with, and the Ministry of Justice should not have made such an omission.
But this oversight was blatantly obvious in Prince Yan's mansion. When the matter was later investigated, the Prince's party could completely be said to have been shielded by Xiao Chenyan.
After all, ever since Mu Ying entered Prince Yan's mansion and divorced Prince Wang, everyone had seen that it was Xiao Chenyan who was supporting this mother and son.
Mu Ying is the only remaining descendant of the Mu family and the niece of the wife of the Marquis of Zhenguo. Xiao Chenyan is bound to protect her, and Wang Yulang is simply a handle that is delivered to his doorstep.
How could the princelings not be useful?
Similarly, how could Xiao Chenyan not notice such a handle?
Not to mention him, even Mu Ying had thought of it early on.
The day after she received the divorce agreement, she thought about taking Wang Yulang away, but Qing Wu told her to just stay in the mansion without worry.
These days, Mu Yingben was helping out at the Mountain Spirit Temple. After all, thanks to the Mountain Spirit, her son Yulang's physical body would have been eaten by the mandrills long ago.
But today Qingwu asked Hongrui to come over and take her and Wang Yulang back.
After returning home, Mu Ying was worried and went to see Qing Wu immediately.
"But is there someone in the court who is using Yu Lang's case to attack the prince?"
Qing Wu was eating ice yogurt and asked Lu Qiao to bring a bowl of ice cream to Mu Ying and Wang Yulang.
Xiao Yulang was well-behaved and sensible. He thanked his aunt first, but did not touch the ice cream. Instead, he sat there like a little adult, and said worriedly:
"Aunt, if Yulang stays, it will cause trouble for you and the prince and his uncle. I want to leave with my mother."
Ever since Wang Yulang woke up, Mu Ying has not avoided the child in many things.
It is said that children from poor families grow up early, and with a father like Wang Yulang, who has experienced the death of his father, Qing Wu also said that because of his experience on the road of Yin and Yang, Wang Yulang will inevitably be more "favored" by ghosts than ordinary people in the future.
Mu Ying couldn't help the child in this regard, so he could only harden his heart and let the child learn to be self-reliant.
Whether it is physical or mental quality, you have to grow up.
Therefore, Mu Ying told her children early on about the things that might happen in the future.
Qing Wu couldn't help laughing when she saw the mother and son's fearless look of death.
"When I told you to stay here peacefully, it wasn't all my idea."
She smacked her lips and said, "This is Prince Yan's Mansion. If Xiao Chenyan doesn't agree, who can be his master?"
After these words were spoken, Luqiao and Hongrui both lowered their heads and laughed secretly.
Mu Ying was also a little amused and helpless, but when he looked at Qing Wu's eyes, there was a hint of comfort.
Qing Wu pretended not to notice and waved to Wang Yulang to come forward. After the little guy ran over, she picked up the candies on the table and stuffed one into the little guy's mouth.
Seeing the little guy just holding it in his mouth and looking at her with a pair of bright eyes, she thought it was adorable, and her heart as an aunt really melted.
She took another one and stuffed it into his mouth. Seeing that the little guy's cheeks were bulging like a hamster, she touched Wang Yulang's little head.
"Do you want to learn some skills to protect yourself and your mother?"
Wang Yulang nodded vigorously, his eyes sparkling.
"Then can your aunt find you a teacher?"
"Uh-huh!"
Qing Wu looked at Mu Ying: "I made the decision on my own. If Madam Mu has any objection..."
"No." Mu Ying answered very quickly, and seemed to realize that she was being reckless. She looked at Qing Wu and said seriously, "I believe in the princess."
Qing Wu pursed her lips and smiled, then lowered her eyes and sighed in her heart.
The judge's pen said, "To be honest, I think your cousin is much harder to fool than your inkstone."
Qing Wu: "A man is worthy of comparing himself with my cousin?"
She collected her thoughts and said to Mu Ying, "It's settled then. You and Yu Lang should not leave the house for the time being."
"The Yan Palace is a wealthy family, so we are not afraid of trouble coming to our door."
This is also the reason why Qing Wu called the mother and son back.
Seeing that Mu Ying was still a little worried, Qing Wu smiled and said, "Don't worry, leave the things outside to Xiao Chenyan. He has been killing barbarians in the northern border for ten years. Can't he deal with these grasshoppers in the capital?"
Mu Ying didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he nodded in agreement, feeling touched.
At this moment, a black-armored guard came in with a post. Before the black-armored guard could speak, Qing Wu smiled:
"I counted on my fingers and realized I was looking for death."
The black-armored guard presented the invitation with a look of admiration: "Princess, this is an invitation sent by the Crown Princess, inviting you to the palace to attend the flower-viewing banquet."
