Chapter 440: A Family of Three, Half-Day Tour of Huguo Temple
Liaochen's special reminder made Xiao Tong frown. He stepped forward and took the three amulets, then turned to look at Jiang Wumei.
Xiao Tong's eyes were as dark as ink, and they were filled with emotions that Jiang Wumei could not understand.
Jiang Wumei took one of them and put it into the pouch at the waist, then bowed to the junior Chen Xing and thanked him.
"Thank you, Master, for the talisman."
"You're welcome, Imperial Concubine."
Liaochen has white eyebrows and beard, and smiles kindly.
An'er stared at Lechen's white eyebrows again and again, and suddenly ran out from behind Xiao Tong, ran to stand in front of Lechen, and asked curiously:
"Grandpa, your eyebrows are so white?
Can you be An'er's teacher?"
Seeing An'er suddenly running out, stretching her little neck to look at Lechen, and asking Lechen to be her teacher, Xiao Tong frowned slightly:
"An'er, come back."
The talk about ghosts and gods is too mysterious. An'er is his and Niao Niao's only child, and Xiao Tong doesn't want him to be involved.
Xiao Tong called out, and An'er turned around with a pout, looking at Xiao Tong accusingly:
"Father, Mother said that Grandpa is very powerful. She also said that if An'er wants Grandpa to be her teacher, she should ask him herself."
Hearing that it was Jiang Wumei who brought this up, Xiao Tong turned around in surprise and looked at the person behind him.
Jiang Wumei stood still. When Xiao Tong looked back, she gently raised her eyes and explained with a smile:
"An'er was in a good mood, so I just followed him.
If Your Majesty feels that this is inappropriate, I will persuade An'er again after returning to the palace tomorrow."
Xiao Tong thought for a moment and suddenly shook his head:
"I don't think it's inappropriate. Just make sure you and An'er are happy."
Forget it, as long as Niao Niao and An'er are happy, he will take care of the rest.
Xiao Tong's indulgence of the child made Jiang Wumei frown.
"An'er is too young to fully understand the importance of a teacher.
Let him ask today.
Master Liaochen will refuse anyway, so this is a good opportunity for An'er to have a new experience in life and know what it feels like to hit a wall."
Since the child was born, Jiang Wumei did not indulge the child, but driven by her maternal instinct, she never said no to the little guy's requests.
As a result, the little guy has always had smooth sailing and has never experienced the feeling of being rejected.
Today may be the first Waterloo in his life.
Jiang Wumei whispered a few words to Xiao Tong, and then they turned their attention to the child in front of them.
I thought Master Lechen would directly refuse after hearing what the child said, but unexpectedly, Master Lechen's old eyes wandered over An'er, and he exclaimed as if he suddenly discovered something.
Jiang Wumei and Xiao Tong were both stunned, then frowned and said:
"Master, is there something wrong?"
"Master, what happened to An'er?"
Two voices sounded almost at the same time. An'er turned around and looked at his father and mother in confusion, not understanding why they were suddenly excited.
Master Lechen exclaimed, then stood up from the cushion, held An'er's bones and examined them himself, then stared at his star-like eyes in a daze.
Jiang Wumei's heart rose to her throat again. She glanced at Xiao Tong on the side, walked forward and held An'er's hand.
"Master, An'er is still young and naive. What I said just now was unintentional. You don't need to take it to heart.
It’s getting late, so we won’t bother you any more.”
Master Liaochen's reaction was wrong. He looked at the child as if he had suddenly discovered something shocking.
Jiang Wumei had a hunch that this was not a good thing, so she wanted to take the child away first.
Seeing Jiang Wumei's slightly condensed expression, Xiao Tong stepped forward to protect the mother and child, and looked at Chen with a cold look in his black eyes.
Realizing that his previous gesture had frightened the two people in front of him, Liaochen adjusted his expression and sat back in his seat, speaking slowly:
"Your Majesty and Imperial Concubine, there's no need to be nervous. I simply saw that the young prince has exceptional talent, and for a moment, I felt a pity for his talent."
Excellent bones?
Jiang Wumei was a little unconvinced, because Master Liaochen had just stared at An'er's eyebrows for a long time.
He must have seen something or other to have such a big reaction.
Before Jiang Wumei could think clearly, Liaochen closed his eyes and ordered her to leave:
"I am a little tired. Your Majesty and the Imperial Concubine, please do as you please."
Xiao Tong didn't say anything. He picked up An'er steadily and took Jiang Wumei's hand and left the Zen room.
After the three of them left the Zen temple, Liaochen slowly opened his eyes and sighed:
"Everything is God's will."
The three of them walked out of the Zen temple, and the Qilin Guards followed them away.
There were lush wild plants on both sides of the road. An'er hugged Xiao Tong's neck, not understanding why the old man didn't answer him and let them leave.
"Mother, did Grandpa agree to An'er's request?"
Jiang Wumei shook her head:
"Grandpa didn't agree."
"But Grandpa didn't refuse. Does that mean An'er still has a chance?"
Hearing the child's soft voice, Jiang Wumei was stunned. Yes, although Master Lechen did not agree, he did not refuse either.
Could it be that he would really agree to teach the Great Sage Prince as an outsider?
Jiang Wumei looked at Xiao Tong, who squeezed her palm soothingly before speaking to clear up the confusion for the little one:
“He may have forgotten to reject you.
However, even if Master Liaochen cannot be your teacher, Father will arrange for a knowledgeable elder like the Great Sage to teach you, so you don't have to worry about not having a teacher in the future."
The excitement in An'er's eyes faded a little, and she grabbed Xiao Tong's neck and began to make demands:
"Father, if Grandpa can't be An'er's teacher, can you let my uncle be An'er's teacher?
An'er feels that his uncle is the smartest person besides his father and mother. He also knows many wonderful stories. An'er likes his uncle very much.
After spending a few months together, Jiang Yuanzhou's tall figure left a giant-like impression in An'er's little heart, causing him to admire Jiang Yuanzhou very much.
Jiang Wumei found it funny and spoke up for Jiang Yuanzhou:
"Little guy, don't harm your uncle.
Your uncle is busy with court affairs all day long, so he doesn't have time to play with you."
"Humph, mother is bad.
An'er is not playing.
An'er is very serious."
The little guy was angry. He twisted his head and sulked while hugging Xiao Tong, trying hard not to look at his mother.
Xiao Tong patted An'er's back, his eyes filled with smiles, and looked at Jiang Wumei with tenderness.
The child's angry expression was soft and cute. A breeze blew by, and the corners of Xiao Tong's robe and Jiang Wumei's long skirt fluttered and entangled. Looking at the two people in front of her who looked so similar, Jiang Wumei's heart softened. She reached out and took Xiao Tong's arm affectionately, and smiled softly:
"Ann is angry.
Jinzhi, please help me find a way to make amends to An'er."
