Chapter 181 Happy Buddha
The next day, Xiao Mo went to the palace to meet the young emperor Zhu Hongyuan, and the emperor and his minister discussed matters behind closed doors.
"Are you saying that Chunfeng Tower may also have unclear connections with Shenyue Sect?" Recently, the court has been asking Zhu Hongyuan to establish a queen, but he rejected them all with various excuses.
"The leader of the Shenyue Sect, Yunling, has come to the capital." After Xiao Mo finished speaking, he saw Zhu Hongyuan looking at him with a hint of interest on his face.
"I also heard that you went to see Madam Lingyi just to save her. Do you really have no selfish motives at all?" said the little emperor.
Xiao Mo was helpless: "Your Majesty, please stop making fun of me."
Zhu Hongyuan heard his serious tone and tried to argue, "Didn't he save you before?"
Then he thought of something else, "You weren't like this before, but after you get married, are you afraid that the lady in the mansion will blame you?"
Xiao Mo actually laughed at this moment: "My wife is the most magnanimous, Your Majesty, you have misjudged me."
When he mentioned the lady in the mansion, his expression relaxed for a moment.
"I heard that you married a girl from the Shen family, but she was living outside and you only recognized her last year. Is this true?" Zhu Hongyuan followed up.
Xiao Mo was a little amused and helpless. This was how it was when reporting to the little emperor. He would talk about something else after just a few words.
How could one pry into the privacy of a minister like this?
But he couldn't lie, otherwise he would be guilty of deceiving the emperor.
So Xiao Mo could only bow and say, "Your Majesty is right, it is indeed so."
Speaking of the girl from the Shen family, Zhu Hongyuan suddenly thought of the woman he met in Shen Taifu's Yiyu Garden that day. Could it be the same person?
"Come to think of it, I haven't met your wife yet! Let her come and pay her respects to the Queen Mother some other day."
After leaving the palace, Wuming saw that his own prince looked unhappy and didn't know what had happened.
At this moment, Chen Shuyao was in Chunhui Hall listening to her mother-in-law discussing the rules of the Buddha Bathing Festival.
"Although my fourth niece's wife is pregnant, it won't hurt if she's careful. Go and see her yourself." Wang said, calling the maid in the room over and saying, "Go and ask the third room!"
The maid agreed and left.
Then she smiled and said to Shen Shuyao, "Mo'er will also go to Qingning Temple tomorrow. You and your wife can worship Guanyin Bodhisattva together."
Guanyin Bodhisattva is also called Guanyin who delivers children. She is calm, graceful, naturally well-behaved and clever.
Suddenly, I heard my mother-in-law ask, "Why are you back so early today?"
Chen Shuyao turned around and saw Xiao Mo standing at the door with a teasing smile on his face.
"If you have nothing to do, come back early and talk to mother. By the way, what were you talking about just now?" he said as he walked into the house.
Wang chuckled, "I didn't see you much before."
Perhaps because her daughter-in-law was present, Wang was reluctant to bring up the matter.
The maidservant next to him had already brought a stool over, and the prince dusted off his clothes and sat down, as if to prove that he really came to talk to his mother.
Wang looked at him and said, "I'm talking to you. Tomorrow, take some time to go with Yaoyao to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva."
Chen Shuyao was facing her mother-in-law at the moment when she heard a light laugh from behind her.
"Okay!" The man's voice was full of joy, but he was not shy.
Wang was very happy, but Xiao Mo, a living person, was standing in the room.
She spoke only a few words hurriedly before turning to her daughter-in-law, "You must be tired after coming all afternoon. Go and rest! When the maid returns, I'll arrange the carriage and horses, and we'll set off early tomorrow morning."
What else could Chen Shuyao say? As soon as she came out of Chunhui Hall, she saw the bright sun outside. She thought to herself, it was only the beginning of the afternoon, so how could it be an entire afternoon?
Just as she was about to ask Qiao Wei to bring an umbrella, she looked up and saw the man raised his arm, blocking her head and saying, "Let's go!"
The laughter of the maids came from behind.
When Wang saw the two men leaving together, her face was full of smiles.
But as she smiled, she finally sighed, perhaps thinking of her husband and second son who were still at the border.
Yu Ma beside her brought in a bowl of milk from outside and said, "Madam, why don't you take a rest first and drink this milk first."
Wang took it and said as she drank, "It would be great if they could have a child soon."
Yu Ma smiled and said, "It's only been a few days. Madam, you're a little anxious."
Wang herself shook her head and laughed, "Isn't it? Jinyun will get married soon."
Speaking of Xiao Jinyun, she began to regret not helping her second son arrange a marriage when he returned to Beijing.
Yu Ma sighed and said, as parents, there is no peace and tranquility ever since they have children.
From the moment they are born, I look forward to them growing up, and when they grow up, I look forward to them getting married, and after they get married, I look forward to having grandchildren...
Where is the end of this?
While massaging Wang's shoulders and back, she tried to find happy things to talk about. After a while, the atmosphere in Chunhui Hall returned to its previous state.
After going out, Shen Shuyao was shielded by Xiao Mo's arms and was not exposed to the sun at all.
After they had walked this distance, the man took her to sit in the pavilion under the tree.
Chen Shuyao looked at the dense branches and leaves above: "Will there be insects?"
"No, don't worry!" said the man.
He looked at her now, his eyes full of smiles: "Which Bodhisattva did mother say we should worship?"
Chen Shuyao knew that the other party was asking knowingly, so she replied unhappily: "You can worship whoever you want."
Xiao Mo raised his eyebrows: "Really?"
Seeing her looking over, he said softly, "In my opinion, it's better to worship the Happy Buddha."
Chen Shuyao's cheeks flushed, and she cursed him in her heart as shameless.
Then I heard the person next to me explain seriously: "Isn't it? Sex is a human instinct. How can there be children without sex..."
As Chen Shuyao listened, she was also impressed by his ability to talk nonsense.
She was frowning when she heard the guards following them couldn't help but let out a muffled laugh.
When Chen Shuyao said goodbye at the beginning, it was completely unbearable to watch.
Xiao Mo stopped joking with her and said in a different tone, "You have to wear a veil when you go out tomorrow, okay?"
But thinking of how she had saved Shen Shaoyu last time with two unarmed maids, she added, "Don't go to places with few people again. I'll come back with you when you're done."
Shen Shuyao nodded.
There were many people there and she didn't mind wearing a veil.
Thinking back to the last time I went looking for mulberries, I was indeed a bit too aggressive.
But if she didn't take the risk, how could she save her brother?
So, everything has two sides.
After the couple sat in the pavilion for a while, Xiao Mo took her to Songhe Hall.
Dinner was still served at Yan Yutang, and after dinner we took a walk.
This time Xiao Mo did not ignore it, but took Chen Shuyao all the way out of the yard.
The afterglow of the setting sun slanted down on the two of them, as if they were covered with a layer of golden light.
Zhou Shuhe was walking accompanied by her maid. When she saw the dazzling couple in the mansion, she couldn't help but stop for a moment.
The little maidservant beside him also sighed: "The prince and his wife are so loving!"
Zhou Shuhe thought of Xiao Jinwen. After they had dinner together, he went to the study.
She seemed to suddenly realize that the seemingly gentle husband was not all good.
