Chapter 283 Everyone else is happy, except...
Yuntang took out the remaining masks and gave them to his master, brothers, and nephews to choose from. Although they were not the same Shura masks, their styles were very similar.
Once again, other animal masks remained.
The people from Qingfeng Temple looked at each other, and after taking the masks, they tacitly changed their Taoist robes into blue casual clothes.
After dividing the directions, the two teams set off...
While Yuntang and his companions were busy cutting off the source of the Fallen God's faith, the capital was also busy celebrating the New Year.
Marquis Yong'an personally delivered the return gifts prepared by Yuntang to each family.
Originally, upon learning that Yuntang had returned to the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, several families were very happy and were discussing whether to invite Yuntang to their house for a reunion or go directly to the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
Upon learning that Yuntang had gone to the Western Territory, Prince Cheng and his sons were all stunned.
Since when did the Taoist priests have to intervene in the war in the Western Territory? Didn’t Tang Er just finish the ritual at Yunshang Temple and rescue her brother who was seriously injured by the evil spirit?
Marquis Yong'an was not in a position to elaborate on what he had learned from Yuntang. After all, the war in the western border was being coordinated by the imperial court, and it was indeed not something that the Taoist sect could participate in.
However, the emperor was a disciple of Qingfeng Temple, and the Taoist sects gathered in the western border were Qingfeng Temple. Therefore, if the emperor did not say anything, how could others ask? This was not the court's business at all.
Soon, Prince Cheng and his son accepted the matter and sighed.
Prince Cheng was the most frustrated: "After finally finishing the work with the child, the old man still wanted to talk to the child and talk about learning Taoism."
That child is a little Taoist priest. I'm sure we can talk to her about Taoism, right?
He was too embarrassed to say that he wanted to repair his relationship with his granddaughter.
But he gave so many jades to please his granddaughter, and now his granddaughter has given him many gifts in return, including a jade pendant for protection, which made him very happy.
Is this the granddaughter forgiving her grandfather?
Princess Cheng had already put the jade bracelet, which looked of good quality, on her wrist.
Although it is not the best jade bracelet, nor outstanding among those she often wears, it was given to her by her granddaughter and is still a protective jade that is worth many amulets.
She was still very happy.
Although it is not as good as the string of top-quality jade beads worn by the old lady of the Duke of Weiguo’s Mansion, her granddaughter is busy!
Before leaving Beijing, her granddaughter remembered to give her grandmother a protective jade bracelet. This filial piety made her very happy and appreciated.
After seeing the two old people looking melancholy, they happily accepted the gifts, especially the one who hung the jade pendant around his waist and the other who wore the jade bracelet on his wrist.
Prince Chengyang and Prince Chenghe looked at each other and praised Yuntang's filial piety and dedication again and again.
Neither of their families had any defensive weapons, but they had amulets, and the children also had protective jade pendants. I have to say that my niece's arrangements were really thoughtful.
When Marquis Yong'an delivered the gifts to Duke Chen's mansion, Zheng Yuanfang was very happy and kept praising his niece for all her good qualities.
Zheng Zizhuo immediately put the jade pendant on his son and reminded him that it was a gift from his cousin and he should be careful not to bump or break it.
The child was still very ignorant, but he had a wet nurse and maids to serve him, so naturally no one dared to neglect him.
Everyone was happy, except Princess Kang Yi.
Princess Kang Yi said unhappily, "Why do you have to leave the capital overnight? You don't even have time to come and see your elders? Do I, as an aunt, need this? I just want to see her."
Yong'an Hou sat in the guest seat, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand and smiled helplessly:
"Aunt sister, calm down. If I wasn't in a hurry to leave Beijing, I would have wanted the child to stay at home for two more days. You know, the child is too busy and hasn't been home for a long time."
So, if the children are so busy that they don’t even have time to come back home, is it strange that they don’t see their elders?
However, Princess Kangyi did not accept Marquis Yong'an's euphemistic explanation. She glared at Marquis Yong'an with a stern face.
"Didn't she return home the night before? Didn't she leave yesterday afternoon? How come no one came to inform me in such a long time?"
"She is the leader of the Qinglong Guards and has a high position! She is the Princess Protector of the Nation and has a high status! Can't I, as her aunt, go and see her myself? Why didn't you send someone to inform me?"
This is blaming Marquis Yong'an for handling things improperly.
Marquis Yong'an looked a little embarrassed and didn't know how to explain for a moment.
As soon as Yuntang returned home, he went to the study and talked to his father for a long time. He told him about the recent posts and those people looking for her.
The child himself didn't want to see him. He also had to attend the Kitchen God worship ceremony in the morning, so how could he have the time to take the child to visit relatives?
When he returned home from court, he met Eunuch Wang who came to deliver... a gift. Of course, he had to entertain the distinguished guests first when they came to his house. They only talked for a while, and then Tang'er left with her senior brother.
How can I notify your aunt to come over to see me?
As for the night before?
He was just glad that he didn't inform them, otherwise the situation at the family dinner would have become even more intense and people would have seen more than just that one joke.
He couldn't even tell what had happened.
In the end, it was Zheng Yuanfang who explained for him.
Zheng Yuanfang also glanced at Princess Kang Yi with displeasure and said, "You also know that Tang'er is the leader of the Azure Dragon Guard."
"Then you should also know that the Azure Dragon Guards are directly under the Emperor's command and do not need to report to anyone when carrying out their missions."
"It's good enough that you know that Tang'er is leaving the capital to carry out the mission. Why are you still complaining here? Do you want to blame the emperor for arranging a mission for Tang'er to leave the capital at this time?"
Zheng Yuanfang had long discovered that Princess Kang Yi's temper had become much more impatient after she returned to the capital. She was probably eager to return to the circle of powerful people in the capital, so some of her actions became a little hasty and quick to gain benefits.
At first, he wanted to marry his legitimate daughter into the Eastern Palace, but later he found that no one agreed and his own sister also had that idea. The relationships between all parties became a little strained, and he must have been in a bad mood.
And he had clearly told her that his Chen Guogong Mansion did not need his daughter to enter the palace.
He also clearly told his daughter Xingyu that she would not be sent to the Eastern Palace, and her marriage would only be arranged among suitable people from other families.
Otherwise the child would be corrupted by his ambitious mother and have inappropriate thoughts.
The matter of appointing a concubine to the Eastern Palace has finally come to an end.
But recently, Princess Kang Yi is eager to meet Yun Tang again, and seems to want to arrange a marriage for Yun Tang. Maybe she was asked by someone at some banquet...
Zheng Yuanfang couldn't get too involved in this matter.
After all, it is very common for an aunt to help her niece find a marriage partner. Especially when Princess Kangning doesn't like her own daughter, it seems reasonable for the aunt to help and worry about it.
However, Zheng Yuanfang knew what Princess Kang Yi was thinking, and it wasn’t a good idea. Her own interests still came first.
Therefore, he also warned Princess Kang Yi that there are still grandmothers and great-grandmothers above you, so why should you worry about these things for your niece?
But it was not unusual for Princess Kang Yi to want to meet her niece.
He himself also wanted to see the child. He had never seen what the child looked like in all the time since he returned to Beijing. If he told others about it, he would only make others laugh at him.
What kind of relative or elder is this?
