The weather gradually became warmer, and good news came into the mansion one after another.
After Wei Yulong was taken into the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion, his condition gradually improved. He no longer needed to take medicine all day and was able to stay alert and not drowsy.
People's feelings are developed through getting along with each other. It really doesn't take long to go from rejection to closeness and then to closeness again.
She realized a truth, that pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is always more popular than showing off one's teeth and claws.
She no longer focused on Wei An's life experience, but instead concentrated on getting along well with the old princess.
Even when going to Puji Temple, she had to personally accompany the old princess to feel at ease.
Princess Zhennan had not had much contact with her and did not know her temper. It was only after she had lived with her for a while that she gradually felt more at ease with her - unlike Princess Changning, this was not a tiger that seemed ready to eat people at any time, but a docile sheep.
She no longer expects Wei Yulong to become her daughter-in-law, but she can maintain a harmonious relationship with her.
Therefore, after worshiping the Bodhisattva, she naturally agreed to Wei Yulong's request to have a vegetarian meal in the temple.
The Qingming Festival is approaching, and there are many eternal lamps in the temple. Wei Yulong kneels on the cushion, his eyes lost in thought.
Chenxiang, who was beside the old princess, called her a few times before she came to her senses, smiled at her, and then stood up embarrassedly.
Chenxiang packed her things and carried them in his hands. Seeing that she was a little depressed, he led her to say something happy: "The old princess came to the palace to meet you on the first day of this month. The imperial concubine came specially to say that she wanted to see you. It can be seen that the girl is blessed."
Being able to enter the palace and meet the nobles was indeed a great blessing in their eyes. After all, as long as they answered the questions appropriately, they might win the nobles' favor. And since girls like them could not achieve anything, if the nobles could arrange a marriage for them, that would naturally be icing on the cake.
For Wei Yulong, who has no parents to worry about, there are naturally more benefits.
She smiled and nodded gently: "It's all thanks to my grandmother."
"What do you mean by thanks to me?" The old princess came out from the east side room after changing her clothes. She smiled and waved Wei Yulong to her side and asked her, "Have you finished worshipping the Buddha? Originally I told you that you didn't have to come in person, but you didn't listen."
"My grandmother made a wish for me, so I should come and fulfill it myself." Wei Yulong said seriously, and after a pause, he said, "Besides, I also want to come and pay my respects on behalf of my mother."
The old princess was silent for a while, nodded, and changed the subject to talk about other things.
Wei Yulong sat beside her and watched quietly as she instructed Chenxiang to take the silver and go to the front to add incense money to the temple.
The old princess believed in these things very much and was always generous in giving incense money. Wei Yulong knew that there was still a portion of it that belonged to Wei An, so she turned around and stood up: "Grandma, I want to go to the front to see what my aunt is doing..."
Princess Zhennan naturally went out to pack her luggage. After all, if she wanted to have a vegetarian meal here, she might have to stay overnight depending on the weather.
The old princess looked at her, suddenly stopped what she was doing, asked Li Ma to lead everyone to leave, and then asked her: "Is it because I lit the eternal lamp for your seventh sister again this year?"
Wei Yulong's unhappiness could no longer be concealed, and the old princess had to ask her.
Wei Yulong hung her head and said nothing. After a long while, she gave a bitter smile: "Grandma, I don't know what my mother is doing right now... Wei An has her grandmother and my father, but I have nothing."
The implication is that she is indeed unhappy, but her unhappiness is understandable.
The old princess looked at her silently, and felt as if she saw Wei An when he was a child. Her heart was suddenly touched. She pursed her lips and sighed: "Ah Long, grandma just hopes that when you encounter something, you will think more about what you have, and stop thinking about what you don't have."
There are many truths that she won't listen to even if you tell her now, so the old princess simply stops preaching and lets her figure it out slowly on her own. There's plenty of time in the future anyway.
Wei Yulong nodded and came out, standing in the corridor looking at the sound of pine trees swaying in the wind below, and closed his eyes after a long time.
Hongdou watched from afar and didn't dare to go forward. She waited until Luwu came before she winked at her.
She and Lu Wu were both assigned to Wei Yulong by the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion, but she was far less favored by Wei Yulong than Lu Wu, so she didn't like to take the lead in everything to avoid causing trouble.
Lu Wu, however, was not as cautious with Wei Yulong as she was. She walked a few steps forward to Wei Yulong and whispered to her, "Miss, I found out that our old lady did come to Puji Temple to set up a long-burning lamp. But this is nothing strange. The monks in Puji Temple are also very tight-lipped... No matter how you ask, they won't give in."
Lu Wu paused for a moment before continuing, "But a monk in charge of reception said that our princess had also sent someone to inquire about this matter..."
Wei Yulong felt a pain in his right eye, and he hummed after a while.
What's the point if you can't get anything out of the question? Everything you say is empty talk.
Lu Wu thought of an idea: "Why do you ask this? The old princess must know. Even if she doesn't want to tell us... Nanny Li and Nanny Chen around the old princess should know, right?"
Wei Yulong then remembered that Nanny Li was still with the old princess, while Nanny Chen and Nanny Cui had already gone out. However, Nanny Chen and Nanny Cui had clearly stated that they wanted to stay with the old princess until she died.
Speaking of which, Nanny Ni and Nanny Ge who were around Princess Changning have all disappeared...
She thought for a moment, then told Lu Wu: "You are a child of the royal family, so it is easier for you to find out about many things. Please go and find out where Nanny Chen and Nanny Cui have gone."
Lu Wu originally worked as a third-class maid serving Zhuang Feng. However, as a third-class maid around Zhuang Feng, she could never show her face and was always excluded, so she was always depressed.
Later, when Zhuang Feng got into trouble and Zhuang Rong gained power, she could no longer take advantage of the situation. If it weren't for her parents' great efforts this time, she would definitely not have been able to take advantage of Wei Yulong, the great Buddha.
After all, she is the granddaughter of the old princess, and she has no close maids around her. As long as she serves well and follows Wei Yulong in the future, at worst, she can at least get the status of a first-class maid, right
Maybe in the future she can be married off as a concubine or a housekeeper, which is much better than being married off as a random servant in the mansion.
After she figured this out, she agreed without any hesitation.
The master and servant had just talked for a while when Chenxiang, who served the old princess, came outside to invite them, saying that the old princess had a guest and invited them to come over to talk.
Wei Yulong turned around and followed Chenxiang to the Zen room in the backyard to meet the guest.
On the way, he curiously asked Chenxiang: "Who is coming?"
Chenxiang laughed and said, "It was the Princess of Chu who came to worship the gods, and she also brought the eldest daughter of the Earl of Qinghe's mansion..."
