The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 360 Making a plan

Ye Yuncang acted immediately, and that very day he went to find Ouyang Pei and told him, "Build a temple for my apprentice."

Ouyang Pei, who was packing his luggage, asked, "Are you alright?"

Why build a temple out of the blue?

Moreover, in their Western Kingdom, Buddhism is not highly regarded; instead, Taoism is flourishing.

"Build a bigger one, and enshrine the Queen Mother of the West, the Jade Emperor, Venus, and so on." Ye Yuncang listed a bunch of deities' names.

Ouyang Pei couldn't help but say, "Excuse me for speaking frankly, but these are all Taoist deities. You're probably talking about Buddha or Guanyin."

"Anyway, everyone's crowding in. Those who like to worship gods worship gods, and those who like to worship bodhisattvas worship bodhisattvas. It doesn't interfere with either. Aren't they all compassionate and generous? They won't care about these details," Ye Yuncang said. "Besides, if a family has members who are Buddhist and others who are Taoist and don't know where to go, they can come here."

Ouyang Pei: "..."

He felt that at that time, both Buddhists and Taoists might fall silent.

Originally, Ouyang Pei did not want to be an accomplice to evil.

But Ye Yuncang said, "If you want to find Ruan Ruan's child, I can help you, as long as you help me build it."

Ouyang Pei immediately retorted righteously, "Talking about conditions would be too hurtful to our brotherhood. I'm just a warm-hearted person. I can't help it. Being a general for so long has given me this advantage."

So Ouyang Pei put down his luggage, turned around and went out, intending to go to the palace to have a chat with the emperor.

The emperor is fifty-three years old this year, but he is still young and vigorous, energetic and spirited, and even has a dignified bearing.

Upon hearing Ouyang Pei's request, he couldn't resist and smashed the jade seal in his hand over.

"Absurd! Utterly absurd!" the emperor roared in fury. "How can you put them together! Guards, drag this arrogant Ouyang Pei out and give him ten lashes!"

The thirty-year-old crown prince, who was pretending to be a background figure, silently turned his head away, afraid of being caught in the crossfire. Ouyang Pei calmly took the imperial seal and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, please don't be anxious. I haven't finished speaking yet. It's not that I wanted to build it, but that boy from the Ye family has returned. He said he saw a child who looks a lot like Ruan Ruan. In the past few months, I have been inquiring from various sources and have roughly confirmed that if that person is a descendant of Ruan Ruan, he should have been stranded in the Great Chang Kingdom."

Upon hearing this, the old emperor could no longer sit still. He leaned forward, his hands trembling: "Are you serious?!"

Even the Crown Prince, who was watching the show from the sidelines, stood up, looking anxious: "General Ouyang, you must be joking, is it really Ruan Ruan's child?"

Ouyang Pei said, "I only have this news, but I need to go and see for myself to be sure. I can't trust anyone else to go, so please take good care of the newly built temple during this time."

The old emperor waved his hand and said, "Alright, do as you say. Have the Imperial Observatory choose an auspicious day and start construction immediately. I think the site should be right next to your house. We confiscated a house there, and I think you would find it unlucky. Why not build a temple there? It can also ward off evil spirits."

Ouyang Pei: "..." Don't they think it's unlucky?

"You are in charge of this matter, Your Highness. The money will be deducted from my private treasury."

"Yes," the crown prince replied.

Ouyang Pei's smile was forced: "Your Majesty is wise."

If his dad finds out when he gets back, he'll probably get a spanking.

Even though he is now a father.

Unexpectedly, the old emperor continued, "Since Minister Ouyang knew the whereabouts of Ruan Ruan's child all along, yet failed to report it sooner, he is suspected of deceiving the emperor. Guards, drag General Ouyang out and give him ten lashes!"

The crown prince silently turned his head away.

Ouyang Pei: !!!

It's my birthday today, so I went out to have some fun!
