Chapter 177: Prayer

Yongning felt a lot of depression in his heart, but it was inconvenient to stay at home longer, so he only smiled and comforted Mrs. Lu a few words, and then returned to Qianyuanguan. It's just that since this day, neither Mrs. Lu nor Princess Gaoyang have ever returned to Qianyuanguan, only Princess Jinyang still comes over every other day.

However, Princess Jinyang's mind is now on Xi Junmai, who returned to Chang'an, and every time she came to Qianyuanguan in the past, the focus was to see Yongning, but now she only turned around and went directly to Xi Jun to buy it. And Her Royal Highness the princess is also ruthless, and she doesn't shy away from knowing that others know that she likes Xi Jun to buy, which has the meaning of making it known to the world.

Maybe it's because Princess Jinyang's behavior is too strong, or maybe Li Shimin didn't have the little princess he favors the best after all, and the will to marry will soon come down. As a result, Datang envied Xi Jun's people who bought good luck, and he didn't know how many.

Yongning is also very happy for Princess Jinyang, and it is a good thing that another couple of lovers can finally become married. In this way, even Princess Jinyang is also bent on getting married, and she has no leisure to run to this Qianyuan Temple, and the small courtyard of Yongning is completely quiet.

Since the last time she talked to Yuan Tiangang, Yongning has not met Yuan Tiangang again, locking the yard every day, reading and writing freely, and even being in a daze and sleeping lazy. Despite this, Yongning is still the same, and has not changed a bit.

At the end of the year, Li Shimin finally issued an edict abolishing Li Chengqian's crown prince, and renamed Li Chengqian as the king of Hengshan, and he was able to get out of the East Palace, where he had been confined for many years.

It is said that although Empress Changsun gradually recovered from her illness, after seeing Li Chengqian, there were signs of recurrence, so Li Shimin was even more disgusted with Li Chengqian, and only issued an edict ordering him to go to Tibet immediately. When Li Chengqian took his wife and children and was escorted out of Chang'an by a group of soldiers, only Li Zhi went to see him off, and he also prepared a lot of daily necessities to give away, even if Li Chengqian did not have any good words for him, he always had a respectful attitude, Li Chengqian's convoy went out far away, and he also looked at the distant shadow and wept goodbye......

Li Zhi's paragraph, Yongning listened to it and wanted to vomit, if it was convenient, she really wanted to shout twice - it was too fake, but perhaps thanks to the reason why Li Zhi has maintained his image very well over the years, such a fake and such a move actually ushered in a good reception for him, and the call of the court to make Li Zhi the new prince was higher and higher.

Originally, Yongning was a little worried when she heard that so many people had written to support Li Zhi as the crown prince, but then she quietly sorted out the list of supporters, and then she put her mind at ease. Clean up the context, this is simply Li Shimin building momentum for Li Zhi, so naturally there will be no suspicions.

Finally, one evening in April, Yuan Tiangang finally knocked on the door of Yongning's courtyard. At that time, Yongning was leaning on the beauty couch under the eaves of the corridor to read a book, and when she saw Yuan Tiangang coming in, she only greeted lightly, her body didn't even move, and even her eyes were glued to the book in her hand except for the first glance at Yuan Tiangang.

Yuan Tiangang smiled bitterly and shook his head, he never expected Yongning's temperament to be so big, it had been half a year, and he was still angry with him. In the past six months, he has closed the courtyard door for Yongning, and I don't know how many people have inquired about him, not to mention Fang Xuanling and Li Zhi, who don't have a good face every time they see him. In the past six months, he has not been under ordinary pressure

Fortunately, Yongning didn't only live in this courtyard, but she didn't worry that no one entertained Yuan Tiangang. As soon as the two little Dao aunts saw Yuan Tiangang coming, and saw that Yongning looked unwilling to entertain in person, they automatically and spontaneously found tables and stools to set up, and served tea and fruits, and then retreated, leaving space for Yuan Tiangang and Yongning's master and apprentice.

"Apprentice, do you really plan to be a teacher for the rest of your life?" Yuan Tiangang really felt very powerless, in fact, he didn't quite understand what he thought that day, why did he tell Li Shimin those words without hiding them at all, to say that he didn't regret it later, it was a lie. But what's the use of regretting? However, when Li Shimin opened Chrysostom and let Yongning stay in Chang'an, he was a little happy.

Over the years, Yongning has retreated from time to time, and he is always unwilling to obediently embark on the established fate, which makes him a little unhappy, and he is naturally optimistic that Li Shimin can push Yongning, or even the Fang family. If it weren't for Fang Xuanling's earnest talk with him later, I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to look at this matter correctly, although the later remedies were not very effective, but because of this, it made him feel very guilty.

Yongning glanced up at Yuan Tiangang, snorted lightly, and said, "You are a master, how dare you be angry with you as an apprentice?"

"Apprentice, the day of the teacher was really just a momentary gaffe, and the teacher has tried his best to remedy it these days...... Apprentice, don't be angry with your teacher again, okay? Yuan Tiangang smiled and pulled down his body to compensate for it, but it really made Yongning not say anything, after all, the tradition of respecting teachers and respecting the Tao was something she could never suppress, but if she said anything, whether it was her or the Fang family, I am afraid she would not be able to afford it.

Yongning glared at Yuan Tiangang again, and got up from the beauty couch and sat down at the table. "Master has always been busy, why do you have time to come to my small courtyard today?" She still has anger in her heart, and her voice can't help but bring out something.

Yuan Tiangang didn't care, raised his eyebrows, and said with a happy face: "Your Majesty has agreed with me today on the auspicious day for the canonization of the crown prince......

"What day is it set?" Yongning was not surprised, this was originally a matter of time and time, since Li Chengqian went to Qianzhou, it was just that the Tang Dynasty was waiting for the day.

"On the ninth day of the next month." Yuan Tiangang stroked his long beard with a proud face, after all these years, he finally survived to Li Zhi's safe position, and now there is only one thing left to do, and when this matter is over, he can be said to have no worries anymore, and he can return to the sect to continue his practice......

Yongning was stunned, the rest of the time is not even a month, the ceremony of canonizing the crown prince is not a trivial matter, can you have time to prepare? He looked at Yuan Tiangang with puzzled eyes and asked, "So urgent?" Is it time to prepare? ”

"What else is there to prepare?" Yuan Tiangang waved his hand disapprovingly, and said: "Whether it is the Internal Supervision Department or the Ministry of Rites, they have been preparing in private for a long time, although the time is set for next month, it will not make them feel hasty......"

Yongning pursed his lips and sighed secretly, knowing in his heart that those people were afraid that Li Chengqian had already begun to prepare for Li Zhi before he left the East Palace. "Then you came here to tell me about this, I don't know what you mean?" She didn't believe that Yuan Tiangang came to report the good news to her, this was not Yuan Tiangang's style, and she was a little uneasy in her heart.

Sure enough, Yuan Tiangang smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Your Majesty summoned you to the palace tomorrow...... Let you go to the Miaozhen Temple in the palace, pray for the King of Jin, and His Royal Highness the future Prince, the crown prince's robe also needs to be enshrined in the Miaozhen Temple, and you need to preside over it......" His voice became smaller and smaller under Yongning's cold gaze, and finally he just looked at Yongning with a forced smile, and did not dare to continue.

"Wonderful? Why haven't I heard of it? Yongning only felt a terrible headache, Yuan Tiangang's words, how did she listen to it and feel awkward, she looked at Yuan Tiangang intently, and asked: "Master, this Qianyuan Temple is the place of the royal palace, if you pray for blessings, why do you want to go to the palace to pray?" Besides, the crown robe of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of him was also enshrined in this Qianyuan Temple back then, right? ”

Yuan Tiangang's gaze was a little evasive, and he didn't dare to look directly at Yongning, so he only said perfunctorily: "Your Majesty wants to arrange it like this, what can you do as a teacher?" Disciple, the holy order is hard to disobey, so you should work hard."

"Master, if you want me to go, you should make it clear to me, right? Don't you dare me enter the palace in such a daze, and get into any more trouble? Yongning half-squinted, looking at Yuan Tiangang calmly, and asked for the answer.

"That ......" Yuan Tiangang was a little hesitant, he also knew that what Yongning said was the truth, if she really let her enter the palace without knowing anything, maybe she would really get into some trouble, but he was really not easy to talk about this "truth......

"What's so difficult about the master?" Yongning made an empathetic look, but it made Yuan Tiangang a little more uneasy.

"That, in vain," Yuan Tiangang was really chilled by Yongning's eyes, and hurriedly whispered: "Then it's better for you to go to see Fang quietly at night, this matter, Fang Xiang is also, and he also knows......"

Yongning frowned unconsciously, this matter was not Yuan Tiangang's own opinion, even Fang Xuanling knew about it...... Since Fang Xuanling also knew the details, Yongning didn't want to be embarrassed by Yuan Tiangang any more, and after a few more casual conversations, Yuan Tiangang left, but his steps were a little hurried when he left, and he looked like he was running away.

After Yuan Tiangang left, Yongning still sat in the courtyard and didn't move, what Yuan Tiangang said really made her feel at ease. Although she seems to have never left this courtyard in the past few months, where is this really happening? Basically, she would go out every night to sit in the restaurant and tea shop in Xishi, and she had heard a lot of all kinds of news, but it was really not related to what Yuan Tiangang said today.

But Yuan Tiangang finally involved Fang Xuanling, and Yongning really couldn't sit still. called the two little Dao aunts to clean up all the things in the yard, and then went back to the room to rest with a gloomy face, and specially explained not to disturb......

The door closed for a moment, Yongning had already appeared incognito in Fang Xuanling's study, but it was still early, and Fang Xuanling had not returned from the official office......
