The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chapter 1264: Listening to the Dharma in the Dharma Hall

Looking at the satisfied smile on his mother's face, Cheng Youning naturally didn't know what his mother was really thinking. He just thought that his mother was very satisfied with his proper behavior. "Mother, Madam Chen, Sister Zi'e, Youning will take his leave."

Chen Zi'e said, "Where are you going, brother?"

"Go to the kitchen and see how the vegetarian meal is cooking!"

Chen Zi'e looked at the sky. It was not yet time for dinner. "Is my brother hungry?"

"I didn't have breakfast."

Qiao Rong beside Cheng Youning couldn't help but lower his head. His little prince drank a big bowl of chestnut porridge and ate four big meat buns in the morning. Their little prince had no habit of skipping breakfast. This man never let himself go hungry.

"Where is the temple's kitchen?" asked Chen Zi'e.

"It's at the back." Cheng Youning turned his head and pointed with his chin in the direction of the back of the hall.

"Okay! Cheng Youning, it turns out that you were not going to listen to the sutra, but to steal food in the kitchen." Seeing that the person who spoke was Hong Yuncong, Cheng Youning turned around and ran to the back.

Before everyone knew what was happening, they saw the fat boy Hong Yuncong running after Cheng Youning, and his speed was no slower than Cheng Youning.

Chen Zi'e said in confusion: "Why did my brother run away again?"

Shang Xi smiled and said, "Let him go and play. Your brother is at an age that even dogs hate."

Xiang Qin pulled Shang Xi and said, "That child must be the young master of the Hong family!"

Shang Xi looked back and didn't see Hong Yuncong's brother and sister, so she nodded and said, "The youngest son of Hong Zhekai, the doctor of the Water Department, used to play with Cheng Youning! Let's go and listen to the sutras."

Even if Shang Xi was just pretending, she had to hold on to the end. After all, at this moment, she couldn't reveal in front of so many people that she came here just to eat vegetarian food. She had to save face.

There were so many people who came to listen to the sutra that they could not be counted. The huge Dharma Hall was full of people. Even the entrance of the Dharma Hall was full of people. The place was packed with people, and it was impossible to get inside. So people just stood at the outermost edge and listened quietly.

Shang Xi dared to guarantee that a large number of the people listening to the sutras here must be like her, with shallow wisdom and unable to understand, but their eyes were full of admiration for Buddhism and their attitudes were very pious.

Shang Xi is a person who is just filling in the gaps. She stands here pretending to be knowledgeable. In fact, she is a little bit twisted in her heart and feels that she is a bit hypocritical!

Under the inspiration of the national teacher, Wan Lianxing promoted Buddhism and thus made it flourish throughout Fengqi.

Master Daoqing would regularly come to the palace to preach to Wan Lianxing, and Wan Lianxing would also come here to burn incense every year. As for whether Wan Lianxing could understand the Buddhist teachings, Shang Xi didn't know, but she felt that she and Wan Lianxing were the same, and probably only had a superficial understanding.

At this time, Yuhua whispered: "Hey! Isn't that Cheng Feng!"

Shang Xi took a look and saw that the person sitting below was indeed Cheng Feng, and sitting next to him were Shi Hongshang and Mo Haiyao.

Cheng Feng said he would come here in the morning, and he really came. He really responded to his uncle's call! When Wan Lianxing held a Taoist ceremony, Cheng Feng came to listen to the sutras. It turned out that Wan Lianxing loved him well.

Yuhua muttered again: "Cheng Feng is pretending, can you understand?"

Shang Xi cleared her throat slightly, and she felt that her words were hollow: "Cheng Feng is better than me. Although I only know a little bit, I can still understand some of it."

Cheng Feng pretends to be so good, how can Shang Xi expose him? Just let him pretend to know everything!

Hong Jiutong, who was hiding in the distance and wanted to listen to the sutra, saw that these people did not come forward. The little maid beside her said quietly: "Miss, the woman in green clothes is Chen Gongxiang's wife, and the little girl holding hands with the prince's wife is Chen Zi'e, the daughter of the Chen family. She has long been engaged to the young prince Cheng Youning and is his legal wife!"

Hong Jiutong nodded and said, "I know everything you said!"

"Miss, aren't you anxious? Have you noticed that the Crown Prince's Consort particularly likes Chen Zi'e? She smiles when she sees us, and she also smiles when she sees Hong Jiutong."

Hong Jiutong is not blind, how could she not see!

"Then what can I do? Should I run over to please my future mother-in-law?" In fact, Hong Jiutong is a very noble person. She never likes to please anyone. She thinks that pleasing others is a very detrimental thing to one's status.

"Miss, why don't we also embroider a small purse for Little Prince Cheng Youning!"

"No!" Hong Jiutong said firmly.

"Miss, it is reasonable for you to embroider a purse for your future husband. Why should you be embarrassed?"

Hong Jiutong said: "Why should I be embarrassed? Cheng Youning is just an eight-year-old kid. I don't blush or feel nervous when I see him. The main thing is that I don't want to embroider a purse for him!"

"Why?"

"Someone has given him a purse, so if I give him another one, will he look at me more? Didn't you see that Cheng Youning just greeted me when he saw me just now, and didn't even look at me once? I guess he doesn't like the idea of ​​me and him getting married!"

"Miss, if that's the case, we have to embroider this purse even more. We can't lose to others, nor can we be outdone by others. Chen Zi'e can embroider purses, but you can't, Miss?"

"Jingjing, are you asking me to be jealous and curry favor with Cheng Youning? I won't. How can I be jealous of an eight-year-old kid? Besides, if I really want to compete, who can I win? At my age, I will be an old woman after I get married. What can I use to compete with others! So Jingjing, my future happiness or misfortune, whether my parents-in-law like me, is not something that can be determined by a wallet!"

"Miss, please don't give up on yourself! You are the eldest daughter of the doctor of the Water Department, and our young master has now been named Prince Nie by the emperor. With such a noble status, even if you are a little older when you marry, no one will dare to look down on you!"

Hong Jiutong sighed, "My father and my brother have achieved what they have today with great difficulty. I dare not look down on anyone just because I am the daughter of the Hong family. I will not look down on others! Look at the women that Cheng Youning wants to marry. One is the daughter of Chen Gongxiang. Who is this Chen Gongxiang? He is upright in his official duties, arrogant and stubborn, and not worldly. Even though he was penniless in the past, his noble virtues are still there. I heard that the emperor gave him some respect. There is also Sha Lin, the youngest daughter of the Sha family. Her father is General Sha Guanghan, and her two brothers have also made great military achievements. Which of these two women can I offend? I'd better go wherever I feel comfortable!"

"Miss, you are too pessimistic."

"Look, I can be happy like this! Come on, let's go somewhere else."

"Miss, for your future, we can't do nothing at this moment. I think there are only two ways before us. Either we go to please the Crown Prince's Consort, or we go to the dining hall and directly please Young Prince Cheng Youning!"
