Chapter 1260 Youning asks everyone to go to Lingchen Temple
"Let alone a day, we can't delay even for a moment. If we mess up the government, the country will be destroyed. I don't want the dynasty I just established to perish in my hands soon." Wan Lianxing said seriously, and his expression was very solemn.
"Hmph, why don't I usually see Your Majesty so busy?" The old butler suspected that Wan Lianxing was just pretending to be so busy, but he had no evidence.
"If you keep yelling, you will harm me and the country!"
"Nonsense, I have misled you and the country with just a few words! Your Majesty, why don't you just call me a jinx!"
"You old man, why are you talking so much today? I'm still drunk and you don't feel sorry for me. Why don't you ask someone to make me a bowl of hangover soup!" Wan Lianxing wanted to send the old butler away immediately, otherwise he would not be able to read the dozens of memorials.
"Hmph! Have you drunk too much? You need some hangover soup!"
At this moment, Zhong Siyu came in with her maid Zhu'er, holding a bowl in her hand, "Your Majesty, drink a bowl of hangover soup first, and then you can get down to business."
"My queen is really considerate, unlike some old men who do nothing but scold me!" Wan Lianxing put his hand on his temple, pretending to have a headache. The old butler on the side wished he could close his eyes when he saw this. He really wanted to expose Wan Lianxing. With this man's alcohol tolerance, he would not need any hangover soup at all.
Zhong Siyu smiled and placed the hangover soup in front of Wan Lianxing, pretending to reach out to rub Wan Lianxing's head. Wan Lianxing took her hand and asked her to sit next to him, "Yu'er, I've been tired these days, why are you still preparing hangover soup for me!"
"Yu'er was worried about the emperor, so she asked someone to prepare this hangover soup early." Zhong Siyu's care for Wan Lianxing can be said to be meticulous and impeccable. And Wan Lianxing also respected her very much, and all of her clothes, food, treasures and jewelry were the best.
Seeing that the two people had a good relationship, the old housekeeper was very happy, so he turned around and left without disturbing them.
Wan Lianxing and Zhong Siyu are getting married. Not only the old housekeeper is happy, but Mrs. Wan is also extremely happy. It is as if a long-standing worry has been solved. At this moment, she is enthusiastically watering the flowers in the yard with a kettle, and the smile on her face is becoming more and more brilliant.
"Grandma, why are you grinning?"
"Your little grandfather finally got married, grandma is so happy! Grandson, are you planning to go out dressed like this?"
Cheng Youning was wearing a purple silk robe, a colorful pearl crown on her head, a pair of black Baoxiang flower shoes on her feet, and a Qilin jade pendant bestowed by the emperor hanging around her waist. She looked like she was dressed for going out!
Cheng Youning smiled slightly, thinking about the scene he saw in the palace last night. It seemed that there was not much difference between his little grandfather being married or not. It was just that there were multiple women holding hands with each other when he slept. He wanted to tell his grandmother about the night before, but he held back. He was determined not to tell his grandmother these things. He had to maintain the image of a good grandson at all times.
"Grandma, my grandson is planning to go to Lingchen Temple. There will be a Dharma Assembly in Lingchen Temple today, and there will be a vegetarian meal at noon. I would like to ask you girls if you want to go."
After Wan Lianxing was enthroned, he not only granted amnesty to the entire country, but also held a Taoist ceremony at Lingchen Temple for a month.
Therefore, in the past month, Fengying City has been particularly lively, and people from all over the world have come to Lingchen Temple to listen to the Dharma, because of the Dharma Assembly held by King Shuiyong. Everyone generally has a thought that coming here to listen to the Dharma and worship Buddha will be particularly effective.
Lingchen Temple holds two ceremonies a year on average, and each session lasts for different lengths of time, ranging from 17 days to 37 days, and the longest lasts for a month. This ceremonial session lasted for a month.
In order to watch the fun and enjoy the special vegetarian meal, Cheng Youning would go there every time.
The Wan family is a long-time visitor to Lingchen Temple, and is also the largest number of pilgrims. According to past practice, Mrs. Wan is indispensable for such occasions. However, today, Mrs. Wan smiled and waved her hand at Cheng Youning and said, "Grandma is old and tired these two days. She won't go with you. You can ask them!"
Cheng Youning looked at the other women in the yard and asked, "Mom, are you guys going?"
Shang Xi looked at the freshly brewed pot of tea and said tactfully, "Mother doesn't understand the sutras, so let's not go!"
Cheng Youning discussed with him, "Mom, it doesn't matter if you don't understand the sutras. We have a free vegetarian meal today, and I think there will be your favorite mapo tofu."
Shang Xi thought about it. Was she such a glutton in Cheng Youning's mind that she would go to Lingchen Temple just for a dish of Mapo Tofu? Just when Shang Xi was hesitating, Han Nianxia threw away the melon seeds in her hand and said, "I'll go! I haven't been to Lingchen Temple for a long time. I've been craving vegetarian food these past two days!"
Yuhua, who was embroidering, replied, "The vegetarian meal is delicious, but I am in a hurry to embroider two pairs of shoe uppers for Cheng Youning, so I won't go with you."
Madam Wan, who was watering the flowers, said, "Yuhua is destined to be a hard worker. Cheng Youning's own mother doesn't embroider a single needle, but you embroider endlessly every day."
Yuhua said, "If I were like Shang Xi, Cheng Youning would have to be naked."
"Yuhua, you are so vulgar. You have been with my mother for so many years, but you have not improved at all. Look at Hei Bajiao in my yard. I have trained him to recite poems. Look at you. There is a world of difference. If I, Cheng Youning, rely on your embroidered clothes, shoes and socks to cover my body, I will really be unable to wear clothes!"
"Cheng Youning, I raised you with all my heart, but now you despise me. If you are like this, I will pack up and leave tomorrow and go back to South City. Fengqi and Dalang have already negotiated peace anyway."
"You say this to me at least ten times a year. You only say this to scare my mother. I'm not afraid!"
Yuhua stuck the embroidery needle in her hand into the ball of thread and looked at Cheng Youning: "Are you looking for a fight?"
"You always hit people. As a woman, can you please not be so rude? Okay, stop fussing and glaring. Let's go to Lingchen Temple. If you don't go, my mother won't go!"
Yuhua said, "Let's go. I think Lingchen Temple will be very lively today."
Shang Xi put down the tea bowl in her hand and said, "Cheng Youning, send someone to call your sister He Ye!"
"Why call her? She won't go!" In the whole mansion, the person Cheng Youning had the least contact with was He Ye. Ever since He Ye beat someone up and this person became emotionally stable, Cheng Youning deliberately stayed away from her and even walked around her yard. The reason was simple. This person had injured his grandmother. If it wasn't for the secret scar removal ointment that Yan Shizhao asked for, his grandmother would have been disfigured.
However, Shang Xi had already gotten used to the presence of such a person in the mansion. Fortunately, He Ye knew her own limitations and rarely walked around the mansion. She usually stayed in her own courtyard and ate in her own courtyard. She never went to the dining hall to eat with everyone, and she would not come even if someone was sent to invite her.
