Qin Huaian thought, "Since I can't achieve my goal openly, I'll just act in secret. After all, the Prime Minister holds a high position of power and prestige in the court! If I can gain his support, I'll definitely be able to ascend to the throne. Therefore, I must facilitate the marriage with the Prime Minister's Mansion no matter what."
Tomorrow is the day the abbot of Lingyin Temple returns from his travels. It's said this Lingyin master is incredibly efficacious and deeply trusted by the imperial family. On such important occasions, Emperor Wu of Yan would always come in person to greet him.
Thinking of this, Jiang Meiyu couldn't help but think to herself: "On such a critical day, Emperor Wu of Yan will certainly go to greet me in person. So... maybe I should rush ahead and meet the emperor before entering the palace, perform well in front of him, and make my presence felt?" Thinking about this, a plan gradually took shape in her mind.
After making up her mind, Jiang Meiyu went to meet Mrs. Jiang without hesitation.
"Mom, I heard that Lingyin Temple is very effective in seeking marriage. I'm really attracted to it and want to go there to pay my respects." Jiang Meiyu said softly.
Upon hearing this, Madam Jiang immediately agreed, "That's great! Then pack your bags quickly. You can stay at Lingyin Temple for a few more days. I believe that the Buddha will bless my son and help him find his ideal husband."
The next morning, the sun was shining brightly. Jiang Meiyu, Madam Jiang and their group, along with several maids and servants, set out for Lingyin Temple.
After arriving at the destination, Mrs. Jiang led Jiang Meiyu to the main hall to burn incense and pray for the Bodhisattvas. After that, a young monk led them to the rooms at the back of the temple to rest.
However, at this moment, Jiang Meiyu's mind was always lingering with a thought: "Where is the current emperor? And how can I get close to him?" This question made her upset, and her thoughts could not stop like a moth to a flame.
"Xiaoqi, are you there?" A gentle call echoed in the air.
"Yes, host." A gentle voice responded.
"Do you know where the emperor is now?" Jiang Meiyu's tone was a little anxious.
"Host, as far as I know, the emperor is currently in the backyard room. Moreover, that room happens to be right next to yours." Xiao Qi answered very thoroughly.
Knowing that the emperor was only a wall away, one could not help but wonder what he was doing. It turned out that at this moment, Emperor Wu of Yan was discussing the matter of offspring with the highly respected abbot.
The master clasped his hands together and chanted, "Amitabha. Your Majesty, your destined lover is about to arrive. This woman will not only bring you luck and blessings, but will also bear you many descendants."
After hearing this, Emperor Wu of Yan's eyes flashed with surprise, but then he showed doubt and asked, "Master, are you serious?"
The master smiled faintly and replied, "Your Majesty, do not worry. Everything I say is true. Everything is arranged by heaven."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Wu of Yan felt relieved and quickly expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Master, for clearing up my doubts! If it is true as you said, I will be grateful to you." His words were full of expectations for the future.
The morning sun shone through the dense foliage onto the ancient temple courtyard, casting a tranquil and peaceful scene. At this moment, a graceful and elegant woman slowly approached.
She was clad in a snow-white silk dress, its hem fluttering in the wind, like a fairy descending from the earth. A delicate, ornate golden hairpin adorned her hair, swaying gracefully. Her skin was as white as jade, delicate and smooth, with a hint of natural blush. Her eyebrows were picturesque, her eyes clear as water, and her gaze exuded a gentle and graceful aura. Her slender waist was as soft and light as flowing silk, and a pair of round, bright moon-shaped earrings dangled from her ears, further accentuating her refined elegance.
At that moment, Emperor Wu of Yan walked out of his wing and happened to meet the pretty woman's eyes. He was instantly captivated by the beauty before him, completely stunned, and secretly marveled in his heart: "How could such a beautiful person exist in the world! Her figure is so graceful and charming, so curvaceous, it is simply fascinating."
On this side, Mrs. Jiang also walked towards the master and said with a smile on her face: "Master, I have heard of your great name for a long time. Today we came to Lingyin Temple specially, hoping that you can tell a fortune for my daughter." After that, she pushed Jiang Meiyu beside her forward a step.
The master studied Jiang Meiyu's face and, after a moment's silence, he said, "This girl is destined to have many children and great fortune. She will surely meet a husband of her dreams. Madam, there is no need to worry." Hearing this, Madam Jiang was overjoyed and quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Master, for your guidance! In the future, I will double my offerings to Lingyin Temple to express my gratitude."
As the system had predicted, the man before him had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and he was a truly handsome and dignified person! Especially that tall nose, towering like a mountain; and those sexy lips, slightly raised, seemed to carry endless charm; coupled with his muscular and charming figure, he was simply perfect! But such a peerless beauty couldn't actually have offspring. God was so unfair! Jiang Meiyu couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
At this moment, Emperor Wu of Yan was already swirling with emotion, but he didn't show much outwardly. After bidding farewell to the Grandmaster, he immediately summoned his personal guard, Chen Feng, and ordered, "Go and investigate the background of that woman. Make sure you get all the information you need."
Chen Feng obeyed the order and left.
"Yes." Chen Feng agreed while thinking to himself, "Your Majesty is usually indifferent to women. Why is he suddenly so concerned about this woman today?" However, Chen Feng did not dare to ask more questions and could only quickly start to carry out the task.
