Reborn ten times, she is the real daughter of the Marquis Mansion and she doesn't pretend anymo

However, Xiao Beichen did not elaborate on what it was.

Prince Cheng thought about it and didn’t ask. What unpleasant things happened when Tang’er returned home on the night of the Lantern Festival? Couldn’t he just go back and ask Jiang Ming’an?

Prince Cheng did not stay long. He came to the palace to apologize for the Kang Yi incident. Now that the emperor was willing to let it go, he should tactfully take his leave. Otherwise, why would he wait for the emperor to invite him to have a meal?

After Prince Cheng left, Xiao Beichen looked at the collection of talismans for a while. Thinking of the progress of buying grain, he couldn't help but admire it inwardly.

With Xiaotang'er driving the flying boat, it is really convenient to go out and do things.

In the next few days, Marquis Yong'an was busy finalizing the details of the banquet one by one. After realizing that Yuntang's purpose of holding the banquet was to receive gifts, he wrote down a list of everyone he could invite.

In order to remind others, he had someone spread the word early on that the Princess Protector of the Nation would hold a housewarming party at the Princess Protector of the Nation's residence on her fourteenth birthday.

Since it’s a housewarming party, how can the guests not bring birthday gifts?

This is the science of reason.

If you say it is a birthday party, I'm afraid no one will send you a housewarming gift, because no one knows when you moved and whether you want to hold a housewarming party.

The two banquets have different meanings, and not holding a birthday banquet appears more low-key.

But when the news was released, it was emphasized that the housewarming party was held on the birthday. Unless one was stupid, the gifts had to be generous, and giving two gifts would show more sincerity.

With such news, naturally someone would come to ask Marquis Yong'an where the Princess Protector of the Country's mansion was.

Yong'an Hou always replied: You will know the answer when the post is posted.

However, some people with discerning eyes noticed that Yong'an Hou often went to a certain mansion, so...

The plaque of the mansion was covered with red silk, but it also made one thing clearer. For a time, the location of the Princess Protector of the Country's mansion became an open secret.

The capital city was bustling with activity. As the end of the first lunar month turned into the end of the month, the weather became warmer and the snow in the city was quietly melting, turning into water and flowing into the ditches.

Some families also hold plum blossom banquets while the red plum blossoms are still there. Some families also invite close relatives to enjoy the peach blossoms when they first bloom.

Many people in Beijing know that there is a large plum blossom forest in the mountains on one side of Yunshang Temple, and there is a large peach blossom forest on the back mountain. However... Yunshang Temple is not open to the public nowadays.

I heard that they are preparing for the Luotian Grand Ceremony next month.

The Taoist priests from palaces and temples across the country who had arrived in the capital are now all living in the newly built courtyard of Yunshang Temple. The Huoju Taoist priests who came from afar and could not accommodate them are all arranged to live in the villa at the foot of the mountain.

Among the people who came from other places after hearing the news were those who came to watch the fun, those who wanted to take advantage of the merits of the grand ceremony, sincere believers, both rich people and ordinary people.

The manor at the foot of the mountain was used as an inn to do business with these people. It not only provided accommodation but also set meals.

Set meals are fixed meals for three meals a day, and the price is calculated in the form of a set meal to facilitate the kitchen to supply, rather than a restaurant where customers can order freely.

This arrangement was actually because Zhuangzi had rushed to build quite a few houses before the New Year, but it was still not enough to accommodate the guests who flocked into the capital.

There are whole courtyards for rent, small single rooms that are not very spacious, and cheap six-person and nine-person rooms.

Even the nearby Huangjue Temple was informed by Yunshang Temple and began to accept pilgrims according to the price of incense oil.

Although it is a temple, and this grand ceremony is a Taoist event, this does not prevent Huangjue Temple from accepting distant guests to stay overnight.

Those who have money can pay incense and oil before staying at the temple. Those who are short of money can copy scriptures to offer or help the temple with chores in exchange for food and accommodation. Everyone gets what they need and provides convenience to each other.

Both Yunshang Temple and Huangjue Temple announced early on:

During the Luotian Grand Ceremony, common people or families of nobles in the capital were not allowed to stay temporarily to worship Buddha, so that the houses could be vacated for believers coming from afar.

Regardless of whether the believer is a Buddhist or a Taoist, the Buddhist and Taoist sects actually have a very harmonious relationship and watch over each other in the world of eliminating demons and evil spirits and doing good deeds.

In Panlongling, before the establishment of Yunshang Temple, the most famous temple on the mountain was Huangjue Temple, which was also a royal temple. However, this emperor was a Taoist, so the royal Taoist temple Yunshang Temple was built.

But this does not affect the practice in the temples and monasteries, and sometimes they even visit each other.

The imperial court still gives some financial subsidies to Huangjue Temple every year, and the previous regulations have not changed due to the rise of Yunshang Temple.

As Yunshang Temple was going to hold the Luotian Grand Ceremony this time, Taoist Yizhen had already discussed with the abbot of Huangjue Temple about where Huangjue Temple would need help during the Luotian Grand Ceremony, as well as how to deal with the sudden increase in the number of people from all over the country.

Although more and more people from other places are pouring into the capital.

Not only were the royal manors in the south of the city almost full, the Huangjue Temple was also almost full; some of the capital's manors outside the city were also booked for two or three months.

The nearest villages at the foot of the mountain are all inhabited by Taoist believers.

After the New Year, under the leadership of the village chief, some vacant houses were cleaned up to open a temporary inn. After a little decoration, they were able to welcome guests, and the village chief's family temporarily increased the food supply.

The Luotian Grand Ceremony has not yet begun, but people in and outside the city are trying to make money from the food and lodging of visitors from other places, and the business of all the shops in the city is also very good.

There are also many small vendors setting up stalls on the official road from the south of the city to Panlongling.

There are also several newly built fixed teahouses selling small gadgets, specialty dry goods, and various snacks.

Xiao Beichen would take some time every day to stand on the platform in front of Ziwei Pavilion, looking at the area from the south of the city to Panlongling. He felt particularly happy when he saw the hustle and bustle and prosperity there.

The Luotian Grand Ceremony cost all of their fellow disciples a lot of money, and they had to get some of it back in the next few months.

The money paid by the imperial court was only used to build several imperial farms and expand the courtyard of Yunshang Temple. Almost nothing else was spent. All the money was paid from his own private treasury and handed over to Tianji Pavilion for direct management without going through any government office of the imperial court.

After all, at that time, Yun Tang proposed to hold the Luotian Grand Ceremony, and the main purpose was to save Yun Xuanmo with merit. This was their master's business, and the court would not be asked to bear the costs and consequences.

However, before the Luotian Dajiao ceremony began, Yun Xuanmo had already been rescued, and the murderer, the fallen angel, was also encountered by Yun Tang, who killed him with [Words Come True].

But the Luotian Grand Ceremony had to continue, because Yuntang still had the merits he had gained from his nine lifetimes of spiritual travel that could help the Great Xia Dynasty prosper and the people benefit.

Even if Yuntang did not have so much merit to distribute, this 49-day event itself was a meritorious deed and a blessing.

However, Xiao Beichen did not participate in these details. The only way he could help was to draw some celestial talismans every day and stock up some goods for the Tianji Pavilion.

The talisman masters of Tianji Pavilion are busy making the other yellow talismans.

Yun Tang, Yun Xuanmo and Gu Chengfeng did not participate either. They were busy collecting grain in the southern border.

For several days in a row, except for occasionally staying in an inn to buy food, they were either flying in the air or busy in various grain stores.

The time was very tight and there was no extra free time. Fortunately, they were either cultivators or martial artists, so they could endure the hard work and travel for so many days.
