Chapter 116: Get a deal and act nice
Like an accusation.
Zhao Yungui frowned slightly. He wore gauze, but Eunuch Sun could feel those eyes falling on him.
Silent and breathless, with its own majesty.
Eunuch Sun bent down even lower and said nothing.
"Eunuch Sun, I am a little anxious about the scriptures in my hand, so I took His Highness away first."
As he spoke, Zhao Yungui turned his head to Jiang Jinshuang, put his middle and index fingers together, and hooked his hand towards her.
Although Jiang Jinshuang couldn't see Zhao Yungui's eyes, she reacted instantly, raised her eyebrows slightly, jumped out of the threshold and hid behind Zhao Yungui.
The man wore a black and white ink robe. He was tall and could easily cover the girl's petite figure.
When Eunuch Sun saw this, he frowned in disapproval and said, "My lord, please forgive me. The Queen Mother ordered Princess Zhaoming to kneel in the hall for an hour before leaving."
Zhao Yungui lowered his eyes slightly and glanced at Jiang Jinshuang, who was pretending to be innocent.
Sighing, he continued to look at Eunuch Sun: "If the Queen Mother is to blame, Eunuch Sun will call the Queen Mother Xuanwu."
After saying that, he ignored Eunuch Sun's obstruction and lowered his head to Jiang Jinshuang: "Okay, let's go."
"Okay~"
Jiang Jinshuang gave Sun Zhang a provocative look, then clasped her hands behind her back and followed Zhao Yungui away.
Zhao Yungui did not take her to the dining hall.
"The breakfast at Huguo Temple is only open for half an hour, and the dining hall is closed at this time."
Zhao Yungui explained to Jiang Jinshuang as he walked.
He took Jiang Jinshuang to the Buddhist temple where he lived in the back mountain.
Jiang Jinshuang was a little curious: "Master Imperial Master, how did you know that I was being made difficult by the Queen Mother?"
Zhao Yungui's expression remained unchanged: "It is better to say that it is unlikely that His Highness will not cause trouble."
Jiang Jinshuang: "..."
She argued with a guilty conscience: "No way, the Queen Mother is obviously uncomfortable with me, I just choked her twice."
Zhao Yungui didn't answer again.
The two of them walked to the Zen courtyard, and Zhao Yun returned and said, "Sit here for a while, and I'll have someone prepare some fast food for you."
Jiang Jinshuang was not polite: "Okay."
The Zen room where Zhao Yungui lived was in the back hill of Huguo Temple.
There are few meditation rooms here, and there are not many people coming and going, so it is very quiet.
Looking back, there are peach blossoms all over the mountain.
After waiting for a short while, Zhao Yungui brought some vegetarian rice and placed it on the low table under the tree in the monastery.
"Come here."
Jiang Jinshuang followed the good example and sat at the low table, took the chopsticks, picked up the rice bowl and started eating.
Jiang Jinshuang ate very quickly, not like he was gobbling it down.
Instead, she chewed and swallowed slowly. She was used to spending very little time eating.
"Isn't it that the dining hall is closed? Where did the Imperial Master get these meals?" Jiang Jinshuang asked him with a smile.
Zhao Yungui stood aside: "My food is cooked by Zhengze, and I don't live with other people."
When Jiang Jinshuang heard this, her eyes brightened: "Is this the food made by Zhengze? It tastes good."
Zhao Yungui sat at the stone table beside him.
There was a book of scriptures placed on the stone table. While he was reading it, he said calmly: "Zhengze heard that I cooked the food for you, and in front of my ministers, he said that he would poison the food for you."
Jiang Jinshuang pretended to be scared and shrank her neck: "What a strong desire for revenge! Master, can you teach children?"
Zhao Yungui corrected with some helplessness: "I am his master, and the people I teach are disciples, not children."
Hard-spoken and soft-hearted.
Although he said this, the child Zhengze was clearly educated by Zhao Yungui and learned to be literate and upright and calm.
"Then Zhengze wanted to poison me, and you didn't say anything to stop me, Master?" Hearing this, Zhao Yungui lowered his eyes and twitched the corners of his lips: "Wei Chen told him that after all, she is a princess of the same country, so she should add two more spoons to her food. Just coarse salt.”
No one is good!
Jiang Jinshuang raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Master National Preceptor has some scriptures that I would like to annotate, but what about the scriptures?"
Zhao Yungui turned to another page of scripture and said in a calm tone: "Be good if you get a bargain."
There are no Buddhist scriptures.
I just want her to come out for dinner earlier.
After having breakfast at Zhao Yungui's residence, Jiang Jinshuang returned to his Zen room.
He had to stay in Huguo Temple for three days. In addition to chanting sutras and worshiping Buddha every morning and evening, he also had to fast, bathe, burn incense and copy sutras. It was very boring.
She knew that Xia Yurong must have had something in mind when she came to Huguo Temple this time.
The soldiers will block it, the water will cover it, but Jiang Jinshuang is not very worried.
I originally thought that if she disobeyed the Queen Mother's order this morning and did not stay in the main hall for an hour, the Queen Mother would cause trouble for her.
Unexpectedly, until evening, there was no movement from the Queen Mother's side.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
It's night.
Jiang Jinshuang changed into thick clothes and went to the temple hall again to chant sutras and worship Buddha.
This time she behaved better and stepped into the hall.
After finding her place, Jiang Jinshuang read the scriptures at hand and prayed for blessings.
After half an hour, the Queen Mother slowly stood up and glanced at Jiang Jinshuang.
Although I was dissatisfied, it never happened again.
Instead, he smiled and waved to Xia Yurong: "Yurong, come here."
"Yes, the Queen Mother."
Xia Yurong meekly walked to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother took Xia Yurong's hand and said lovingly: "I shouldn't have told you this in advance, but you are not considered an outsider, so it doesn't matter if you say it."
After a pause, the Queen Mother slowly spoke: "Today the emperor sent a message to the Ai family, stating that tomorrow the Chief Assistant will come to the Huguo Temple to inquire about the national affairs and the astronomical phenomena of the National Preceptor."
When Xia Yurong heard this, her eyes lit up, full of joy.
The Queen Mother smiled: "It's not a big deal at all. It's just that you two finally came to Huguo Temple together. The Ai family thought it would be best to go to Yuelao Temple to seek marriage."
Like a loving elder teaching a younger generation, the Queen Mother smiled and said: "You and Mr. Pei are also old. When you return to Huguo Temple, the Ai family will find an opportunity to marry you two."
Hearing this, Xia Yurong's eyes flashed with excitement.
But as if she was afraid of something, she spoke softly: "Thank you, the Empress Dowager, for your love. However, my father once proposed marriage to Your Majesty, but His Majesty... refused."
Although he said this, everyone knew that His Majesty refused to marry because Princess Zhaoming risked her life to stop them and would rather die than let the two get married.
He kept pestering Mr. Pei Du Pei.
The Queen Mother naturally knew about this.
Her face turned slightly cold, and she narrowed her eyes and glanced at Jiang Jinshuang, who was leisurely not far away.
He snorted coldly: "You two are in love with each other and cannot be separated by other people's shady tricks. Just rest in your heart that the Ai family is very optimistic about this marriage."
After Xia Yurong heard this, she happily thanked him.
The conversation between the two was neither too loud nor too quiet, and they didn't mean to avoid her.
Jiang Jinshuang listened to every word and felt it was funny.
——It seems that the Queen Mother also feels that as long as she controls this marriage, she can control her Jiang Jinshuang.
This marriage is not about whether she is willing to agree to it, but whether the person on the dragon throne will agree to it.
Xia Yurong always felt that as long as she could get along with Pei Du, she would be able to achieve success and successfully marry into Wenshan Pavilion.
As ignorant as ever.
Jiang Jinshuang was too lazy to argue with them, so she excused herself from the Queen Mother and returned to the meditation room.
As soon as she entered the Zen room, Jiang Jinshuang's eyes turned cold.
——There is someone in the room.
