Chapter 762: A Pure White Lotus, This Great Buddha

Perhaps Princess Mingzhu truly didn’t know about these things. In Cloud Province, Prince Yan was the sky. Princess Mingzhu had lived the life of a true princess. No one ever demanded anything of her, so her life was simple and perfect.

After this misfortune happened to her family, Princess Mingzhu chose to still remain simple.

This was just a pure white lotus, pure to the point that she didn’t know how the world worked and didn’t know shame.

Ning Shu smiled very virtuously as she said, “Lingyun’s the one managing the residence now, so if there’s anything, you should talk to her. This wife feels that Lingyun’s no longer a child anymore, so this wife had her start learning to manage the residence.”

An You nodded, then left to find An Lingyun.

After that, An Lingyun very generously took out a huge sum of money and even went with Princess Mingzhu to buy things, saying that there was no need to be polite.

When Ning Shu found out about this, she just smiled faintly. She was practically unreadably calm like she was just watching a show.

Old Madame’s facial color wasn’t great, but she couldn’t really say anything. After all, could she possibly refuse to give the money? What if they ended up being accused of not treating an imperial princess well? What if it ended up making the empress dowager displeased?

Not everyone was like Princess Mingzhu and didn’t have to care about the eyes of the world.

Since her own son invited back this great Buddha, even if she had to suck back her tears, she still had to kneel and wors.h.i.+p properly.

Speaking of which, it was also ironic. She was clearly an imperial princess, but the general’s residence actually had to take care of her. In addition, the emperor and empress dowager hadn’t given the general’s residence any compensation either.

Prince Yan’s funeral wasn’t held and Prince Yan’s coffin was never brought back to the capital. All of these issues faded out with time. Princess Mingzhu didn’t even burn any paper money for her father and her deceased relatives in Cloud Province.

It was all romance and love. A princess of the imperial family wept endlessly, wanting to be the pet of an old man, wanting to become the mistress of an old man.

After an entire day’s busy work, Princess Mingzhu’s little courtyard was finally more presentable.

Ning Shu called An Lingyun, who had played almost crazedly today, to her. As she looked at this young girl who was beautiful as a delicate b.u.t.terfly, her heart was completely cold and indifferent.

“Mother, did you need me for something?” asked An Lingyun.

Ning Shu exhorted, “Prepare vegetarian dishes tonight. Princess Mingzhu just lost her family and must mourn for them. Lingyun, you’re already a grown lady now, there’s some things that you should already know.”

In the ancient era, filial piety was extremely important. Of all virtues, filial piety was the most important and it was by filial piety that a person’s moral conduct was measured. Families that were strict would even prohibit l.u.s.t during mourning. If a child was born during the mourning period, it’d become a great stain on an official’s track record.

From this standpoint, in reality, Princess Mingzhu was a very heartless person to actually have illicit s.e.xual relations with a man during the mourning period. Wonder if Prince Yan would be angry?

However, the innocent and naive Princess Mingzhu wouldn’t know these things.

This was just a world for romance, so there was no need to mind these fine details.

“When you have free time, consult your grandmother more. Your grandmother is a very impressive woman,” said Ning Shu mildly.

An Lingyun nodded, then went to arrange it.

During dinner.

Old Madame Shen s.h.i.+ looked at the table full of vegetables, then asked Ning Shu, “Today’s not the fifteenth, so why are we eating vegetarian dishes?”

The old madame believed in Buddhism, so on the fifteenth of every month, she’d only eat vegetarian food in order to pray that An You who was often out on campaigns would be safe. At the same time, she hoped to help atone for An You’s crimes of blood and avoid calamity.

Her longtime custom had suddenly been interrupted, so she was very unhappy.

However, Ning Shu said, “Mother, Princess Mingzhu is currently in her mourning period so it’s truly not suitable for her to have dishes with generous amounts of meat and fish.”

At this time, Princess Mingzhu had just walked in, holding the little prince’s hand. When she heard what Ning Shu said, she was very touched. “Madame, thank you for taking me into consideration, but I want to become part of this big family, so there’s no need for everyone to hold back on my account.”

Ning Shu: Hahaha.

Ning Shu could clearly see the old madame’s face darken. Shen s.h.i.+ looked at the pitiful-looking and pure Princess Mingzhu. Inwardly, she was very uncomfortable with the fact that a person who was in her mourning period for her family was actually staying in someone else’s home.
