The first day of May is an auspicious day!

Concubine Shu chose this day and asked Grandma Wang and Ming Zhi to go to Xiangguo Temple with the birth dates of the second prince and Liu Anyu.

Xiangguo Temple is the imperial temple of the Wei Dynasty. Most of the people here receive dignitaries. Especially on days like the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, ordinary people are strictly prohibited from offering incense.

Going up the ninety-nine steps, you will find a huge square. In the center of the square is a large bronze cauldron filled with incense, and smoke is swirling up.

On the front is the Mahavira Hall, in which is a golden statue of Sakyamuni. On the left and right are the bell tower and the drum tower. Behind is the Hall of Heavenly Kings, with four Vajra statues, and at the back is the Sutra Tower.

There was a lot of incense in the palace, and there was an endless stream of ladies and ladies from aristocratic families.

Because Concubine Shu had some feelings for Liu Anyu in her heart, she asked Grandma Wang and Ming Zhi to keep a low profile. She didn't want to make a big show of letting people know that this was a horoscope for her son to marry Liu Anyu, lest those people's flattery, even if it was ordinary, would go to heaven.

If you want to boast, just treat it as an ordinary marriage and go to the temple master to see if it is a match made in heaven, Concubine Shu will accept it.

"Little master, is the abbot here?" Grandma Wang pulled a young novice and asked with her hands clasped together.

The young novice monk said something about Buddhism and replied: "To return to the donor, the abbot is not in the temple today. May I ask what you two need."

"My young master wants to get engaged, so he took the girl's horoscope and wanted to show it to the abbot." Grandma Wang said, "When will he come back?"

"Uncle Master has been away for five days, and he didn't say when he would be back. How about the young monk recommending Master Chen to you two?" said the young novice monk.

Grandma Wang and Ming Zhi looked at each other.

Mingzhi said hesitantly: "Mommy, why don't you come again next time?"

Grandma Wang thought for a while, shook her head and said: "Abbott doesn't know when he will return. There is no definite date for this delay, so just let him die."

"Mother, will anyone have any objections to that?"

"I'll explain it to the Queen then. Besides, the Queen doesn't want to be ostentatious. Let's listen to what Chen has to say first."

Naturally, Grandma Wang knew Concubine Shu well. If Concubine Shu really cared about the sixth lady of the Liu family, she would not have asked her to hide her identity and come to Xiangguo Temple to marry the second prince. Instead, she would directly take her will and order the abbot.

The eight characters combined into one are.

When Ming Zhi saw her grandma saying this, she nodded.

Grandma said to the young novice: "I'd like to help you, young master, to lead the way."

The young novice said: "Two donors, please come with me."

Liufu

Mrs. Liu's room is very elegant and unique. There is a pear wood landscape screen, next to it is a Duobao box with various jade articles and a small golden Qingluan incense burner infused 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 stands on the coffee table, with fragrant lilies blooming, water drops hanging on the petals, and water being sprinkled on them.

Liu Anyao and Mrs. Liu sat opposite each other on the sofa near the window. Fresh fruits, pastries and nuts were placed on the low table on the sofa.

Mother Wu stood on one side and reported what had just been heard from the palace.

"As Madam expected, Concubine Shu feels that Miss Sixth's horoscope is too ordinary to match His Highness's, so she asked Madam to choose someone else, even if the younger one has to wait for two years."

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

Liu Anyao had a smile on her face and was very happy about her misfortune: "Thankfully, I praised her in every possible way in front of the empress. I never thought that this horoscope is not the most suitable for the second prince. How pitiful."

Mother Wu pursed her lips and smiled softly, her eyes full of sarcasm.

When Prime Minister Liu returned to the house in the evening, Mrs. Liu immediately invited people to the main courtyard, and called Aunt Qiu and Liu Anyu by the way.

The two of them didn't know the result of the combination of their horoscopes, but when they heard the lady's summons, they were filled with joy and thought that it was done.

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

"Sir." Aunt Qiu saluted.

Liu Anyu called out obediently: "Dad."

Liu Xiang looked at the beautiful mother and daughter and showed a loving smile: "Maybe there are results, come in."

"Well, please come first, sir." Aunt Qiu said with a gentle smile.

Liu Xiang smiled and went in first, followed closely by Aunt Qiu and Liu Anyu.

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

When Liu Xiang and the others saw the appearance of mother and daughter, their hearts tightened in unison.

"The Prime Minister is back." Mrs. Liu quickly stood up and said.

"Dad." Liu Anyao also called out. When she saw Liu Anyu behind Liu Xiang, she nodded to her: "Sixth sister."

"I've met mother, fifth sister." Liu Anyu saluted.

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

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

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

She thought that maybe she had misunderstood, and the madam smiled reluctantly with the fifth young lady. Maybe it was because she felt unhappy about her daughter's marriage to the second prince, so that's why she did so.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Liu Xiang ask.

"Today, Concubine Shu ordered someone to go to Xiangguo Temple to marry their horoscopes. Are you satisfied?"

Mrs. Liu glanced at Xiang Liu helplessly and sighed softly.

Liu Xiang's heart suddenly thumped: "Why are you sighing, madam?"

"Prime Minister, there is nothing wrong with the relationship between the sixth girl and the second prince..."

Halfway through the words, Liu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, glared at Mrs. Liu with a chuckle, and said: "Isn't this very good, why are you sighing."

Aunt Qiu and Liu Anyu also smiled happily.

Madam Liu glanced at the three of them and said: "Master Xiang, listen to what I have to say. Just because there is nothing wrong with it, it is too ordinary. The empress feels that the second prince's concubine should find a good match with the most compatible horoscope.

After all, it concerns the second prince’s life.”

After saying this, the smiles on the lips of Aunt Qiu and Liu Anyu suddenly froze.

Liu Anyu stood up in disbelief: "How...how could this happen? Did the master in the temple see it wrong?"

"Sixth girl, you can't say these nonsense. You don't have to insult the master in the temple. That is Xiangguo Temple, our imperial temple in the Wei Dynasty. If these words reach your ears, it will be a crime of disrespect." Mrs. Liu's voice was light.

He said it with an indescribable dignity.

How can you allow you to slander a temple that even the emperor respects and trusts?

And precisely because it was Xiangguo Temple, Prime Minister Liu would not think about this matter to Mrs. Liu.

The abbot of Xiangguo Temple is not easy to bribe, but not everyone in the temple is upright and noble. Besides, she is not ruining people's marriages, she is just telling Chen not to exaggerate.
