As soon as I returned to the mansion, Pei Mingyue came.
"Ali, has Pei Zhao left Beijing?"
"Yeah, I just sent him back."
Yesterday she had someone tell Pei Mingyue to come later as she had to go see Pei Zhao off first.
Then he asked, "Where is Taoist Kongxu?"
"I've already sent someone to escort him out of the city."
Su Li nodded and said, "Let's go then? I think the charity event will be about to start when we arrive."
"good……"
As they talked, the two of them went out together and got on a carriage to leave the city.
The charity meeting was held in the Shishan Hall built by Princess Rongfu, which was located at the foot of Zhaoming Mountain outside the capital.
When the two arrived, the square in front of Shishan Hall was already crowded with people. One can imagine how great an influence Princess Rongfu had among the people.
I just don't know how many of these people now completely believe in Princess Rongfu, and how many believe the rumors and are here to watch the fun.
Pei Mingyue sneered, "It's really lively."
The Ningyuan Marquisate donates a lot of money at charity events every year.
But when she thought of the rumors that Princess Rongfu held the charity to make money to satisfy her own selfish desires, she suddenly felt it was extremely ironic.
There is a spacious square in front of Shishan Hall. In the center of the square, there is a circular altar protruding one meter from the ground. On the altar is a large vermilion incense table with a huge incense burner on it, in which countless incense sticks are burning.
Everyone stood in front of the circular altar, neither too far nor too close, forming a circular circle.
Su Li and the other person walked to the edge of the crowd and stopped going inside.
As soon as she stood still, the guard beside Pei Mingyue came to report in a low voice: "Miss, the Taoist priest is at the front. During the worship ceremony, he can see Princess Rongfu's face from that position."
"I understand. You go back first."
"yes."
After the guard left, he returned quietly to Taoist Kongxu.
After a long while, the worship ceremony officially began.
Princess Rongfu, dressed in plain clothes, held three incense sticks as thick as her forearms in her hands. She walked slowly out of the Shishan Hall with a pious attitude, walked up to the altar step by step, and then began to pray to the sky.
At this time, the crowd began to hear loud and low discussions.
One person asked, "Hey, are those rumors true?"
Another person immediately followed up, "It must be fake! If it were true, how could Princess Rongfu hold a charity event here?"
"That's right, there must be someone who wants to discredit the princess and our great Jin lucky star!"
A woman in gray said, "That may not be the case. I heard that Princess Rongfu did do those things, but the Emperor wanted to protect her because she is the lucky star of the Great Jin Dynasty and he was afraid that she would affect the fortune of the Great Jin Dynasty."
Everyone was shocked: "Is this true?"
"If Princess Rongfu really did such a wicked thing, how can she still be called the lucky star of the Jin Dynasty?"
"That's right, that's the disaster star, right?"
"Hush!" The gray-robed woman said cautiously, lowering her voice. "I also heard that a master noticed that the purple aura around Princess Rongfu has disappeared. She is no longer the lucky star of the Great Jin Dynasty!"
"What?"
Everyone around was filled with disbelief: "The purple aura can disappear? This is impossible! Why is this happening?"
The gray-robed woman said, "Why else? He's done too many evil things. Haven't you heard that over two hundred years ago, in the previous dynasty, there was a man with purple energy whose purple color disappeared because he did too many evil things?"
One person continued, "Don't tell me, I actually heard this from my great-grandfather when I was little, and I thought it was fake."
"If that's true, then why should we donate money? Wouldn't it just give Princess Rongfu a feast?"
"That's right. Anyway, I'm just here to watch the fun. I won't donate. With this money, I might as well donate it to Zhaoming Temple on the mountain..."
“That’s right…”
"Hey, hey, hey, you believe what I say? Where's the master? Where is the master?"
"That's right. If the purple aura really disappears and she's no longer the lucky star of the Jin Dynasty, will the emperor still allow her to continue holding charity events?"
"Yes, you are right. Someone must be trying to spread rumors again..."
"How many good things has the princess done over the years?"
"Good things?" Someone sneered, "Good things are done with our money!"
"That's right! Less than half of the donations were used for charity, and the other 95% went into her own pocket. If you call that a good deed, then I can do it too!"
"They've got fame and money, but we, the donors, are the ones being taken advantage of!"
"I think you're talking nonsense. Isn't it just a rumor? Can you believe everything you hear?"
"this……"
Everyone hesitated for a moment. Yes, can rumors be believed?
Seeing this, the gray-clad woman spoke up at the right moment, "Hasn't someone already been beating drums to complain? Isn't the accusation exactly the same as one of the rumors? I heard the Emperor has already had the Supreme Court official personally investigate. How could this be false?"
A woman immediately chimed in: "I've heard about this too. My husband's maternal grandfather's cousin is an official in the Dali Temple. He can't be wrong!"
“…”
Everyone was talking about it.
After that, more and more people started talking about it.
Seeing that the effect was achieved, Xiao Sanzi, dressed as a gray woman, quietly squeezed out of the crowd and disappeared in an instant.
Taoist Kongxu, who was standing at the front, seemed oblivious to everything behind him. He only frowned tightly when he saw Princess Rongfu's face.
I thought to myself: Not only does Princess Rongfu not have the purple aura, but she also doesn't look like a blessed person.
Logically speaking, even if a person is carrying purple energy not because of his fate, but someone who can carry purple energy in the womb will have a more or less a look of good fortune no matter what his birth date is. However, Princess Rongfu does not have any look of good fortune at all, which is very strange.
Could it be that his skills are not up to par? Can't he see the reason?
Then he shook his head to deny it, no, no, no, how could this be possible? He was born with a talent for fortune-telling, and that was why his master accepted him as a disciple. There was no way he could be wrong.
Forget it, never mind. No matter what, one thing that can be confirmed is that Princess Rongfu does not have the purple aura that represents good fortune.
As for the strange parts, he would talk to Mrs. Pei about them when he got back. Maybe she could analyze them for him.
Then he whispered to the guards behind him, "Pei family guards, go tell Miss Pei San that Princess Rongfu does not have the purple aura."
The guard nodded and left.
Behind the crowd, Pei Mingyue couldn't help but feel anxious when she saw Princess Rongfu was about to complete the worship ceremony and Taoist Kongxu had not yet sent any news.
"Ali, do you think it will happen..."
Could it be that Princess Rongfu’s purple aura never disappeared at all?
The disappearance of the purple air was originally their speculation. Inviting the Taoist priest was just a gamble. Otherwise, her father would not have no follow-up plan. It seems unlikely.
"Don't worry, it takes time for Taoist Kongxu to read your fortune..."
