Chapter 244: Chapter 244

The first day of May is an auspicious day for the zodiac!
Concubine Shu chose this day, and asked Nanny Wang and Mingzhi to go to Xiangguo Temple with the birthday horoscopes of the second prince and Liu Anyu.

Xiangguo Temple is the imperial temple of the Great Wei Dynasty. Most of the people here are dignitaries and dignitaries. Especially on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, it is strictly forbidden for the common people to go to offer incense.

Up the 99 steps, there is a huge square. In the center of the square, there is a big bronze tripod, filled with incense, and the smoke curls up.

On the front is the Daxiong Hall, in which there is a golden statue of Sakyamuni.The left and right are the Bell Tower and the Drum Tower, and the back is the Heavenly King Hall. There are four statues of King Kong in the hall, and the back is the Sutra Library.

Incense was flourishing in the treasure hall, and there was an endless stream of wives and noble daughters from aristocratic families.

Because Concubine Shu has a little pimple for Liu Anyu in her heart, she asks Wang Momo and Mingzhi to act in a low-key manner, not wanting to make a big show of letting people know that this is for her son to marry Liu Anyu, so that those people who flatter and flatter even ordinary people will go to heaven Kua, just treat it as an ordinary marriage and go to the master in the temple to have a look. If it is really a match made in heaven, Concubine Shu will also recognize it.

"Little master, is the first abbot here?" Wang Momo asked a young novice with clasped hands.

The little novice uttered a Buddhist saying, and replied: "Returning to the benefactor, the abbot is not in the temple today. May I ask what you need."

"My son wants to get engaged, so he took the woman's horoscope and wanted to show it to the abbot." Wang Momo said, "When will he come back?"

"Master uncle has been away for five days, and he didn't say when he will return, how about the little monk introduce Master Chen to the two of you?" the little novice said.

Nanny Wang and Mingzhi looked at each other.

Ming Zhi hesitated and said: "Nurse, why don't you come again next time?"

Wang Momo thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "The abbot doesn't know when he will return. There is no definite date for this delay, so let's just let it go."

"Ma'am, will anyone have an opinion?"

"At that time, I will go and explain to the empress, besides, the empress does not want to show off, so let's listen to what Chen has to say."

Naturally, Wang Momo knows Concubine Shu better. If Concubine Shu really has nothing to say to Miss Liu Jialiu, she will not let her cover up her identity and come to Xiangguo Temple to give the second prince a horoscope. She will directly take her will and order the abbot It is the combination of one and eight characters.

Ming Zhi nodded her head when she saw what Mammy said.

The mother said to the little novice, "Young master, please lead the way."

The little novice said: "Two benefactors, please follow me."

柳府
Mrs. Liu's room is very elegantly and uniquely furnished. There is a pear blossom wood landscape screen, beside which is a multi-treasure grid with various jade articles and a small gold-thread green luan incense burner with sandalwood. On the other side of the screen are several There is a dark red carved chair, and a blue and white porcelain vase is erected on the coffee table, with fragrant lilies blooming, water drops hanging on the petals, and water is sprinkled on the petals.

On the balcony by the window, Liu Anyao and Mrs. Liu sat facing each other, on the low table on the balcony were fresh melons and fruits, pastries and nuts.

Mother Wu stood on the side and reported what had just come from the palace.

"Just as Madam expected, Concubine Shu thinks that Miss Six's horoscope is too common for His Highness the Second Highness's, so it doesn't really match. Let Madam choose someone again, even if the younger one has to wait for two years, it doesn't matter."

Mrs. Liu pinched a piece of pastry and took a bite, looked at Liu Anyao and said with a smile: "Oh, this is really unlucky."

Liu Anyao had a smile on her face, she was very gleeful: "Thankfully I praised her in every possible way in front of my empress, I never thought that this horoscope would not be the best match for the second prince, it's really pitiful."

Mama Wu pursed her lips and smiled lightly, her eyes were full of sarcasm.

When Liu Xiang returned to the mansion at night, Mrs. Liu immediately invited people to the main courtyard, and called Aunt Qiu and Liu Anyu along the way.

The two of them still didn't know the result of the horoscope combination, when they heard Madam's summons, they thought with joy that it was done.

Aunt Qiu and Liu Anyu met Liu Xiang at the gate of the courtyard.

"Master." Aunt Qiu saluted.

Liu Anyu called obediently: "Father."

Liu Xiang looked at the delicate and beautiful mother and daughter, and showed a loving smile: "Maybe there is a result, let's go in."

"Well, master first." Aunt Qiu said with a gentle smile.

Liu Xiang went forward with a smile, followed by Aunt Qiu and Liu Anyu.

In the flower hall, Mrs. Liu was sitting at the main seat, and Liu Anyao was sitting next to her. The mother and daughter were chatting about something, with dignified and worried expressions on their faces.

When Liu Xiang and the other three saw the appearance of the mother and daughter, their hearts tightened unanimously.

"Master Xiang is back." Madam Liu hurriedly stood up and said.

"Father." Liu Anyao called out, seeing Liu Anyu behind Xiang Liu, and nodded to her, "Sixth Sister."

"I met my mother, fifth sister." Liu Anyu saluted.

Aunt Qiu turned to Mrs. Liu and said, "Greetings to Madam, Fifth Miss."

"Aunt Qiu, Sixth Sister, sit down." Liu Anyao said with a forced smile.

Aunt Qiu became more and more nervous. She sat down cautiously and looked at Mrs. Liu eagerly.

I thought maybe I had misunderstood, Madam and Miss Wu forced a smile, maybe it was because her daughter was not happy about her daughter's marriage with the second prince.

Just thinking about it, I heard Liu Xiang asked.

"Today Concubine Shu ordered someone to go to Xiangguo Temple to combine the two people's horoscopes. Is your empress satisfied?"

Mrs. Liu looked at Liu Xiang helplessly, and sighed softly.

Liu Xiang's heart skipped a beat: "Madam, why are you sighing?"

"Master Xiang, there is nothing wrong with the character of the sixth girl and the second prince..."

Halfway through speaking, Liu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, smiled lightly and glared at Mrs. Liu, saying: "This is not very good, why are you sighing."

Aunt Qiu and Liu Anyu also smiled happily.

Mrs. Liu glanced at the three of them, and said: "Master Xiang listened to me, because there is nothing wrong with it, so it is too ordinary, the empress thinks that the concubine of the second prince still needs to find a good match with the most suitable character. After all, it concerns the second prince's life."

After the words fell, the smiles on the corners of Aunt Qiu's and Liu Anyu's mouths froze suddenly.

Liu Anyu stood up in disbelief: "Why... how could this happen? Could it be that the master in the temple misread it."

"Liu girl, you can't talk nonsense with these words. You don't have to insult the masters in the temple. That's Xiangguo Temple, the imperial temple of our Great Wei Dynasty. If this word is heard, it will be a crime of disrespect." Madam Liu's voice was calm. Said quietly, but revealed an indescribable majesty.

How can you allow you to slander a temple that even the emperor believes in highly?

And precisely because it was Xiangguo Temple, Liu Xiangcai would not think about this matter on Mrs. Liu.

The abbot of Xiangguo Temple is not easy to bribe, but not everyone in the temple is upright and upright, not to mention that she is not destroying people's marriage, but just to let Chen not exaggerate.

Liu Xiang wanted Liu Anyu to be his side concubine, so Mrs. Liu couldn't do anything big, otherwise Liu Xiang would only suspect her. However, as long as she knew Concubine Shu's preferences, it would not be difficult for Liu Anyu to lose the election.
