Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne
Chapter 496: Guardian Temple
Lin Yu heard the conversation between Jiang Fenghua and Nanny Wang outside the door. She popped her head out and said, "This kind of thing is not suitable for Nanny Wang to handle. Let me leave the Queen to you!"
Lin Yu has been in Beijing for more than ten years, so he naturally knows what kind of man a woman of the empress dowager's age needs. Regardless of age, the most important thing is to be good at talking, and he must be sweet and coax the empress dowager into being very happy. He will definitely seal her in a honey pot and she won't be able to get out.
The next day, Nanny Wang left the palace and went to the Huguo Temple with the Queen's instructions.
At the same time, the Empress Dowager also tried hard to find some beautiful women to seduce the Emperor in order to defeat Jiang Fenghua.
Jiang Fenghua watched the Queen Mother leave the palace without expressing any opinion. Naturally, the Queen Mother used the excuse of praying for the soul of the Third Prince to leave the palace.
She thought to herself: It has been half a month since Xie Shang left Shengjing. He did not really send Xie Ling'er to the frontier, so where did he go? The wedding procession would have to travel for at least a month before it could reach the northern frontier.
At the same time, on the other side, Xie Shang sent Xie Ling'er out of the capital and then returned to the capital with his men. However, he had actually planned to go incognito and go directly to Feng's Escort Agency in Yu County.
He pretended to be a wealthy businessman who was escorting a batch of goods to Beijing. However, after his secret investigation, he found that the Feng family was just honestly doing the escort business as Jiang Fenghua said.
The Feng family didn't even do anything to elevate themselves to higher positions just because their niece became the queen. In fact, no one even knew that the queen was the Feng family's niece.
Xie Shang had never seen such a family before, and Jiang Fenghua had never thought of using her identity to support the Feng family to dominate Yu County.
In the end, he did not show up, but he really escorted a batch of goods to the Feng family to Shengjing, gave them a generous reward, and rushed back to Shengjing overnight.
He was only thinking about one thing in his mind: Jiang Fenghua was about to give birth, and he should rush back immediately to accompany her during the delivery.
When he passed by the Huguo Temple, he heard the sound of bells ringing in the temple. The sound was deafening and seemed to be mournful and sad. He asked people to stop the carriage and asked, "Lin Feng, where are we?"
"Huguo Temple." Lin Feng said.
Xie Shang lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw that there were many people on the road today. "What important festival is today? Why are there so many people?"
Lin Feng's face was filled with black lines, and he quickly explained, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten? Today is the 49th day of the Third Prince's death. The Queen originally had the Third Prince's body sealed in a coffin and sent to the Huguo Temple. After today, he will be buried in the Prince's Mausoleum."
Xie Shang had never cared about or even visited this child. He had no feelings for him. After a moment's silence, he said, "Is all this organized by the Queen?"
"Yes, the Emperor is busy with official duties all day long, so these matters are naturally handled by the Empress. In fact, the Empress is very thoughtful. She probably felt sorry for the Third Prince who died at such a young age, so she asked the monks of the Huguo Temple to hold a 49-day ceremony for the Third Prince, hoping that he would ascend to paradise soon." Lin Feng explained.
Xie Shang then remembered that Jiang Fenghua would copy scriptures whenever she had free time. She was indeed a qualified queen and mistress. No wonder his father appointed her as queen and even stated in his edict that he would never depose her.
"Since I'm here, let me go to the Huguo Temple and take a look!" Xie Shang said in a deep voice.
Lin Feng was shocked. "Your Majesty is going to the Huguo Temple? Then will Your Majesty go on a private visit in disguise, or will he reveal his identity? I will arrange it right away."
"No need for that. We'll just dress up as tourists and go out for a look and then return to Beijing!" Before Lin Feng had tied up the horse, Xie Shang had already walked forward alone.
He was handsome to begin with, and looked even more majestic in a dark brocade robe. His dignified and unique temperament attracted much discussion from tourists who came to worship Buddha and burn incense.
He had long been accustomed to attracting attention, but this was the Huguo Temple, and being surrounded by so many people, his expression couldn't help but turn cold, as if to say "no strangers allowed".
Lin Feng immediately walked to Xie Shang's side, and people were intimidated by his aloof look.
Even if he didn't ride in a carriage and dressed modestly, he would still attract discussion from the public, and some women even started to approach him and start chatting him up.
Before the woman could speak, Lin Feng had already scared her away. However, there was still a fearless woman who spoke up, "Sir, are you also a pilgrim who came to Huguo Temple to seek an audience with Master Wu Zi? My lady and I are here because of his reputation."
She thought to herself: The man in front of me is not only handsome, but also noble. He is obviously a high-ranking official from Shengjing City.
The one who asked him the question was a maid, while her young lady stood quietly and obediently aside. She was dressed in a white dress as white as snow, with a tall figure, a slender waist, and a layer of transparent gauze on her face. Her face was looming and difficult to see clearly, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be sending a secret glance.
Seeing that they didn't answer, the young lady said in a gentle and pleasant voice, "Qiao'er, let's go."
Xie Shang didn't smile, he avoided his gaze and walked forward. Lin Feng glared at the maid named Qiao'er, wondering why everyone wanted to get close to him. "Master, you should wear a mask!"
Lin Feng took the initiative to hand him half of the mask.
Xie Shang took it and put it on his face, "Wouldn't it be more conspicuous this way?"
"At least it's better than before." He didn't expect that there would be so many people in the Huguo Temple today. Lin Feng also prepared a mask for himself and put it on.
Seeing this, Xie Shang asked, "Does anyone bother you too?"
"I want to remain a virgin for Lian Ye. She is already very unhappy that the palace maids are always trying to flirt with me." Lin Feng also wanted to win the beauty as soon as possible.
Behind him, the woman in white stared at Xie Shang's figure as he walked away with an infatuated look in her eyes, "I didn't expect there would be such a handsome and elegant man in Shengjing City."
"Miss, do you think that young man is married?" Qiao'er asked.
"How should I know? Don't be so surprised when you first come to Shengjing. You just asked him directly and he ignored you. Don't you feel embarrassed?"
"It's not awkward. Qiao'er went to chat with me just for the sake of the young lady."
"You silly girl, it was obviously you who asked, and you blame it on me. I'll tear your mouth apart." As she said this, she deliberately tried to hit Qiao'er.
"Who doesn't know the name of our Bai's Trading Company? I didn't say the words 'Bai's Trading Company' just now, otherwise that young man wouldn't have left." Qiao'er said.
"That's not necessarily true." Bai Yuhan added confidently, "This person is obviously a government official, and his status cannot be very low. Officials are prejudiced against us businessmen."
Qiao Er said, "Who doesn't like money? They become officials for money, and we do business for money. Who are we looking down on? Besides, my young lady is as beautiful as a flower. He hasn't seen her appearance, otherwise his eyes would be wide open."
Bai Yuhan said with a smile, "You are the only one who talks too much. Let's go. I heard that the great master of the Huguo Temple is going to perform a ritual today. Let's go early!"
