Chapter 127 Major Events
Wang Xi and Chang Ke lived in Yunju Temple for more than ten days, and they would play with Ali and play with Xiangye every day. Chang Ke brought Ali with Bai Zhu and a few autumn clothes made for Ali were neatly folded into a stack, and the people from the Marquis of Yongcheng came to send them invitations.
Lu Ling asked them to attend the flower viewing banquet at Jiangchuan Bo Mansion seven days later.
The nanny who came to send them the invitation was a decent nanny in front of the Madam Hou of Yongcheng. She received a lot of red envelopes from the Wang family. After asking Wang Xi and Chang Ke for peace, she also brought them some things that should not have been said to them: "I heard that the palace will hold a flower-watching banquet in the past few days, and all the ladies who are not of the same age as the Beijing girl must attend."
He also said tactfully: "Although the mansion did not ask me to bring letters to the two ladies, the two ladies have lived in Yunju Temple for some time. It is always inconvenient to live in Yunju Temple like this."
Wang Xi and Chang Ke exchanged glances.
But for such a large-scale banquet, I mostly want to choose a concubine for the princes.
Moreover, according to the nanny's intention, the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion did not mean to allow Wang Xi and Chang Ke to participate, otherwise he would have sent someone to talk about this matter and urged them to make new clothes and jewelry.
Wang Xi calmly praised the nanny, accompanied by nanny to have dinner. She pulled Chang Ke and said, "What are your plans?"
Being able to attend the flower-watching banquet held in the palace and not being married for the age of time refers to the female relatives of officials above the fourth rank. Chang Ke is within this range, and Wang Xi is the unrecognized granddaughter, but she is not among them. Of course, if the Yongcheng Hou Mansion wants to take her there, she can go there too.
Wang Xi doesn't care. Her marriage was decided by the elders of the Wang family. Even if the Madam of the Marquis of Yongcheng fell in love with anyone, she would still tell the people of the Wang family, and it would not completely dominate her future. But Chang Ke is different. Her parents have always followed the leader of the Marquis of Yongcheng. I am afraid that Chang Ke will also listen to the Marquis of Yongcheng.
In addition, Chang Ning settled his marriage, Chang Yan and the fourth prince of the Xiangyang Hou Mansion were no longer possible. The flower-watching banquet in the palace did not tell Chang Ke. If there was nothing strange about it, Chang Ke could not even cover his head and wanted to expose it.
But Chang Ke is not an independent person. She pulled Wang Xi's hand gratefully and said, "Thank you! But I think this is good. I will listen to them in this matter. And even if they want me to enter the palace, I won't go."
Chang Ke's father is a concubine's son, and she is just a little less in her identity. Not to mention the possibility of being selected, if you accidentally fall into someone's eyes, you may be pointed out to a down-and-out clan. If you become a wife, it would be fine. If you are afraid, you will be a concubine. Chang Ke will not want to do so.
Wang Xi did have a little intention of standing up for Chang Ke, but this kind of thing has to be heard from Chang Ke. After Chang Ke said this, she thought about it carefully and it made sense. She couldn't help but say in embarrassment: "I am the one who wants to leave. If they don't tell us, we just end up in a leisurely state. Otherwise, we will go directly to the Lu family and pretend that they don't know about this?"
Chang Ke thought more.
In the past, Chang Ning and Chang Yan would probably push her forward if they didn't want.
She pondered: "I'm afraid I'll say to Miss Wu and the others, we have no intention of attending the banquet in the palace."
Wang Xi nodded constantly.
Miss Wu Er and others are qualified and have the first names. If they can help Chang Ke block it, even if the Yongcheng Hou Mansion changes its mind in the future, Chang Ke will not go.
The two of them discussed for a long time, and Ali chased Xiangye and ran in.
Xiangye ran a few steps before waiting for A Li for a while, and then ran away after A Li caught up.
I don’t know if it’s a human being or a cat being funny?
Everyone laughed when they saw it.
A Li smiled without knowing why. His innocent look made Wang Xi feel soft and he couldn't help but say to Chang Ke: "No wonder you are willing to take care of him. This child is so fun."
He was not naughty at all. He listened obediently to anyone who said anything. Wang Xi, who had seen too many children who climbed trees and climbed onto the house, thought that children were sometimes quite interesting.
Chang Ke couldn't help but sigh and said, "I think of my brother when I looked at him. I was so obedient when I was young."
Now that I am growing up, I am more obedient than when I was a child.
This is a bit abnormal.
It is also because people in the third room have to be good.
Her parents thought it was good.
Wang Xi didn't know what to say, so he asked A Li to drink sugar water.
After hearing this, A Li ran away, he was surrounded by a few little maids and caught him back.
While feeding A Li with a bitter face, he drank sugar water, and said to Wang Xi with a smile: "What is this strange saying about you? You have sugar water. You are obviously bitter water. You also lie to me and take a sip, and almost spit out my bile."
Wang Xi blinked his big almond eyes and said innocently: "The candy water of Guangdong people is herbal tea! They taste this way!"
It seems that Chen Luo hasn't drunk it yet, so he has to invite him to drink it once.
She couldn't help but giggle when she thought of Chen Luo's bitterness like A Li.
However, Chen Luo hasn't seen her for some time and doesn't know what she is busy with.
Just as she was thinking, a little maid came in and reported that Dr. Feng was here.
Wang Xi was stunned and asked the little maid to invite Dr. Feng to the flower hall to serve tea. He told Chang Ke, "I'll go and have a look", and then hurried to the flower hall.
Seeing that Wang Xi was gone, Ali begged Chang Ke pitifully: "Can I not drink Aunt Wang's sugar water?"
Both Wang Xi and Chang Ke like A Li very much, but A Li can still tell who spoiled him more.
Chang Ke smiled and coaxed him: "This is good to you! Didn't you almost get heatstroke before? You also drank a lot of medicine? Aunt Wang's sugar water can cure heatstroke. Not only do you have to drink it, but we also have to drink it."
After saying that, in order to encourage A Li, she asked the maid to bring a small bowl over, pour a little for herself, and drank it without changing her face: "Look, Aunt Chang also drinks it!"
A Li had no choice but to continue drinking "sugar water" with tears in her eyes.

In the flower hall, Doctor Feng was supported by Feng Gao, and almost burst into tears and said to Wang Xi: "I really didn't expect that one day the clouds would be like rats crossing the street, and everyone would shout and beat him. In the past, those people praised him, but now they would despise him. This is something I dreamt about!"
Wang Xi hurried over and helped Dr. Feng's other arm, saying, "If you have anything to do, sit down first", but his eyes looked at Feng Gao and silently asked him "What's wrong".
Feng Gao was also a little excited and did not sue Wang Xi. He helped Doctor Feng sit down on the Grand Master's chair and said, "I don't know if my junior sister lives in the temple. Lord Chen doesn't know how to tell Xiaoyaozi of Zhenwu Temple. Now it's spread outside that Chaoyun of Dajue Temple stole Xiaoyaozi's incense recipe and made various Buddhist incense and peaceful incense. Now Dajue Temple wants Dajue Temple to explain to Zhenwu Temple? And the incense recipe has been announced. Some people follow it and really make the peaceful incense made by Chaoyun. Now this matter has been caused by the monk and Taoist sect to the emperor. People in the capital are staring at the palace to see what the palace says.
"The people in Dajue Temple are said to be very annoyed Chaoyun, but Chaoyun is a monk from Dajue Temple. In the past, they acted under the banner of Dajue Temple. Now, even if they are angry with Chaoyun, they have to bite the bullet and help Chaoyun fight this lawsuit."
Wang Xi listened and his mind quickly turned around.
She thought of Chen Luo asking her what to do with Chaoyun? She thought of him rushing to Zhenwu Temple overnight, and Liu Zhong, who disappeared every day.
Wang Xi vaguely felt that this matter should have been done by Chen Luo.
But Dajue Temple is a royal temple and Zhenwu Temple is a Taoist temple. Since ancient times, monks and Taoists have not been in harmony. What he provoked is not a dispute between the two temples, but also a dispute between the two religions. Will things become out of control in the end?
How did he convince Zhenwu Temple to get involved?
Wang Xi has a lot to say to Chen Luo.
Mrs. Feng asked in a low voice: "Have you ever seen Mr. Chen these days?"
Wang Xi's heart jumped, and he held back his expression and said, "No. What are you looking for Lord Chen?"
There are some things, naturally, the fewer people you know, the better.
It has nothing to do with trust or not, but everyone has people who trust. Seeing through or not telling it is the truth.
Doctor Feng sighed: "He once went to my shop and said that you wanted Chaoyun to be taken back to Shuzhong for public trial in the capital. He asked me what I thought. I wanted to make a public trial at that time, but I didn't need Lord Chen to take action. I could do it even if I tried my best to do it in the past. But in the capital, Dajue Temple was the first to refuse to agree. I didn't expect it!"
Unexpectedly, Chen Luo counted this favor to her.
Wang Xi's eyes were wide open.
Doctor Feng was very touched and did not pay much attention to Wang Xi. He lowered his voice and continued to sigh: "I thought about it, only Lord Chen can do this. Anyone who is interested in finding Chaoyun knows that I am afraid of implicating Lord Chen, so I come to you to find out the trouble?
"I'm afraid I can't repay his kindness in this life. I hope Ah Gao can remember and have the chance to repay Lord Chen one or two."
Feng Gao hurriedly bowed to Doctor Feng and said solemnly: "Don't worry, master, I remember it in my heart."
Doctor Feng nodded with satisfaction and said to himself with tears in his eyes: "I have been unable to eat for so many years. Thinking that I am old, if I see my master, your wife and brother under the Biluohuangquan, I will have any face to speak. Now, my heart has finally fallen. No matter whether Chaoyun is exiled or killed in the future, I will have no regrets..."
The two listened quietly to him.
Wang Xi was a little distracted.
Will Dajue Temple give up Chaoyun this time? If Zhenwu Temple wins, who will the title of the Royal First Temple fall into? Will Chen Luo, the initiator, be discovered? If it is discovered, what will happen?
Because of the emperor's preferences, Shi and Dao families are both very powerful. If he offended these people outside the country, life would be very difficult.
If only one side wins, is there anything she can help?
Wang Xi was in a mess and suddenly felt that the nanny who came to send their invitations to the Marquis of Yongcheng was right. It was indeed inconvenient for them to live in Yunju Temple like this. Although the capital was hot, there was ice in her house, and it was not so hot that it was unbearable.
She would rather go back to Beijing early.
At least you won’t miss these major events in Beijing.
