"Yo yo!" When Tian Yuan's back disappeared into the night, Shen Yun'an cast a resentful and accusing look at him.
"How can what I made yesterday be as delicious as what I made right now?" Shen Xihe had to coax her, "Leave it for tomorrow, the tide will surely come back. If you want to eat it tomorrow, I'll make it for you."
Although he knew that his sister was just trying to coax him, as long as she was willing to coax him, Shen Yun'an would be easy to coax. He grinned and treated it as if the prince was picking up his leftovers, and his mood improved.
Just looking at this lamp, it seems a bit annoying no matter how I look at it.
"Biyu, put it away." Shen Xihe understood, smiled helplessly, and handed it to Biyu.
This is not a gift from someone of unknown origin, so it is not good to just give it away or throw it away like the previous one.
Shen Yun'an opened his eyes wide and saw Biyu carrying the lamp into the warehouse. He was satisfied and said, "Shall we go to Pingzhong Garden tomorrow?"
"I am going to Xiangguo Temple tomorrow. The Jatihua incense I promised Master Xuqing to prepare for Xiangguo Temple has been prepared."
"I'll take you there. There are also two Pingzhong trees in Xiangguo Temple. It is said that they are about a hundred years old." Shen Xihe liked Pingzhong, but it was difficult for it to survive in the northwest. In previous years, his uncle's family would send some to him in late autumn.
Shen Xihe readily agreed.
After breakfast in the morning, Shen Xihe and Shen Yun'an went to the Tao family first to meet their grandfather and uncle and aunt. She seldom came to visit on a daily basis, but if she made any new food or got any interesting items, she would send someone to deliver them.
She and her brother are people who are at the center of public opinion. They come to the Tao family frequently, so it is inevitable that someone will do something bad to the Tao family.
Tao Zhuanxian, who had finally seen his granddaughter, was unwilling to let her go. Shen Xihe had to persuade him and finally got away from his uncle's house because he had made an appointment with Master Xuqing.
When sending the Jātīya incense to Xiangguo Temple, Shen Xihe did not keep a low profile. He asked the shopkeeper of Duhuo Tower to arrange people to hold the spices covered with red cloth early in the morning. A huge amount of spices was needed to sculpt the Buddha statue, so six people walked neatly around several streets and entered the foot of the mountain where the Huguo Temple was located.
When Shen Xihe brought them into Xiangguo Temple, the news that Duhuo Tower's spices were used to sculpt Buddha statues in Xiangguo Temple spread like wildfire. Even those who had always thought they were too expensive gritted their teeth and bought some, and the guests of Duhuo Tower also felt proud of it.
"The incense is very good." Xu Qing came to check it personally and was very satisfied. He was very grateful to Shen Xihe, "Thank you, Princess."
"Master, you are very polite." Shen Xihe bowed modestly. "I have liked Pingzhong since I was young. I heard that there is a hundred-year-old Pingzhong in Xiangguo Temple. I wonder if I can go and see it with my brother?"
The Pingzhong tree in Xiangguo Temple was planted by His Majesty Taizong himself. If the country has been over a hundred years old, the Pingzhong tree will also be over a hundred years old. It is the treasure of Xiangguo Temple. Except for His Majesty and Xuqing, ordinary people are not allowed to enter and exit at will.
Those who want to see it can only wait until they are on a high mountain and look down, where they can see a distant image.
Master Xu Qing hesitated for a moment and said, "There is a donor in Pingzhong Court at the moment. If the princess does not mind, I will take the princess there."
"It's okay, as long as the other party doesn't mind us disturbing them." Shen Xihe just wanted to enjoy the scenery and didn't have the habit of dominating.
"Princess, please."
Xu Qing led them to Pingzhong Courtyard. From a distance they could see a patch of orange and yellow covering the entire courtyard like a golden glow on the horizon. When they got closer, the ground turned yellow everywhere, like a butterfly or a dream, which was fascinating.
A tall, snow-white figure stood in the golden color. Shen Xihe paused in front of the moon gate in the yard.
