Chapter 79: Long live the princess
There was silence in the east wing.

Silence meant acquiescence. Gu Xuan said proudly, "Master, look, no one believes you. You'd better not force yourself and admit your mistake as soon as possible."

"What do you Buddhists say?" Gu Xuan thought for a moment, "The sea of ​​suffering is endless, but turning back is the shore."

Master Qingning twisted his Buddhist beads and said, "This is the truth. If you don't believe me, I have nothing to say."

"Since Master is so stubborn, I won't waste any more time talking to you. Let's go and seek justice from the abbot!"

"Sister Xuan, let's just forget it," Bai Rouyin pulled Gu Xuan's arm and held her back. "Let's be merciful. Besides, this wasn't the Master's original intention."

Gu Xuan frowned, "Sister Rouyin, what's wrong with you?" Are you speaking for that bald donkey?

Bai Rouyin whispered, "Sister Xuan, Jing'an Temple is so prestigious in the eyes of the world. This small incident alone cannot shake its status. Don't forget," she said in an inaudible voice, "there is also the Imperial Master in Luoyang."

Gu Xuan was panicked, but she had offended Jing'an Temple badly today.

Bai Rouyin suggested softly, "For now, the only way to calm the situation is to find the culprit."

The culprit? Gu Xuan was puzzled for a moment, then her eyes lit up. That's right, this matter was not her fault, nor was it the fault of Master Qingning and Jing'an Temple. Naturally, it could only be the fault of the person who gave the oil!

"Sister Rouyin is right. This is probably not what the master intended. I'm afraid the master has been deceived." Gu Xuan slowed down her tone and took the initiative to give up.

Master Qingning didn't even raise his eyelids, "Donor Tang has never deceived me."

Gu Xuan gritted her teeth in anger.

"Princess Zhaoshan, please clarify whether it's a lie or not," the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery tried to smooth things over. "I'm afraid there might be some misunderstanding."

"Yes, yes, what if there's any misunderstanding?"

"What's the misunderstanding? Could it be that the fried tofu is not fried in oil, but in water?"

Several young ladies were amused by this and laughed with their hands covering their mouths.

"That's not what I meant. What if, what if what the master said is true?"

"Really? Are you saying that Princess Zhaoshan really developed a method to extract oil from soybeans?"

The girl bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth. Even though she didn't quite believe it, she still said, "What if?"

Another girl challenged, "If Princess Zhaoshan really has this magical power, why not show it off in front of everyone so we can see it for ourselves?"

The laughter continued. Madam Meng, who had been sitting nearby watching the fun, said, "What the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery said is quite right. Why not ask Princess Zhaoshan to come forward and explain the matter clearly?"

She turned around and ordered, "Go and invite Princess Zhaoshan."

Master Qingning raised his eyelids slightly, "Donor Tang has already left the mountain."

"Ah? Didn't Princess Zhaoshan run away?"

"Of course I am. I would run away if I had to do such a shameful thing."

"Isn't Princess Zhaoshan Master Qing'an's destined partner? How could she do such a thing?"

"If the person destined to be with Master Qing'an had such character, I'd be glad I wasn't."

Madam Meng glanced at her daughter with a look of anger, "Shu'er, don't talk nonsense."

Meng Shuer pouted.

Gu Xuan could hardly control her laughter. She exchanged a glance with Meng Shuer and was about to add fuel to the fire when she heard a voice.

"I am coming!"

Gu Xuan turned around and saw Tang Zhao striding into the room with her skirt lifted. Her eyes widened, "You dare to come here?!"

Tang Zhao smiled and said, "I'm very brave!"

Her dark eyes slowly scanned the crowd, and no one dared to meet her gaze. Madam Meng felt that those eyes were as deep as the ocean and the abyss, and she suppressed her contempt and became cautious.

"Now that the princess is here, this misunderstanding can be cleared up," Madam Meng said with a perfectly composed smile. "I thought we would never see the princess again today."

Tang Zhao raised his eyebrows: "Madam?"

Madam Meng's smile remained unchanged. "I am Mrs. Lin, the eldest wife of the Meng family in Lanzhou."

"So she's a commoner's wife," Tang Zhao said, stroking his sleeve. "Since she's a commoner's wife, why can't she kneel down and pay respect to me?"

Mrs. Meng's smile froze on her face.

Meng Shu'er stepped forward and stood beside Madam Meng. "Princess Zhaoshan is so arrogant! My mother is the wife of the Meng clan leader!"

"Is the status of the Meng clan leader's wife very noble?" Tang Zhao looked at her with a half-smile. "No matter how noble she is, is it as noble as this princess?"

Meng Shuer was stunned. The Meng family had been entrenched in the northwest for a hundred years, and the Meng family's power was intertwined. Although her father had no official position or title, he became the head of the Meng family by virtue of his status as the eldest son.

In the Meng Mansion, even the second aunt, who was a second-rank lady, always gave way to my mother in everything. Among all the young men and women in the Meng Mansion, she was the only one who was favored and honored.

With this favor and honor, Meng Shuer could get whatever she wanted in the northwest. She even dared to bully Gu Xuan, the legitimate daughter of Princess Xuan.

Meng Shuer lived for seventeen years and never thought that one day someone would ask her, "Is the wife of the Meng clan leader very noble?"
If even the wife of the Meng clan leader is not noble, then what is the value of her as the clan leader's daughter?
Miss Shen, who had been repeatedly suppressed by Meng Shuer just now, applauded in her heart. Her eyes were full of stars. She was worthy of being her idol, so domineering!

"How dare you?" Gu Xuan said in disbelief, "My aunt is my mother's sister-in-law!"

Tang Zhao was too lazy to look at Gu Xuan's stupid look, "Heaven, Earth, Emperor, Parents, and Teachers, respect the Emperor first and then be filial to your parents, don't you understand this principle, Seventh Sister?"

"Also, whether we're king and subject or sister-in-law, Seventh Sister should pay her respects to this princess."

Gu Xuan said angrily, "Don't even think about it!"

"Oh? Seventh sister, do you dare to disrespect your superiors and disregard the distinction between high and low?"

"How dare you, a person who desecrates the holy land of Buddhism, ask me to bow to you?"

"Whether I have the nerve or not will be discussed later," Tang Zhao finally spared her a glance. "This princess is asking you, are you able to perform the ceremony today?"

Everyone's eyes turned to Gu Xuan.

Gu Xuan's face flushed and she stood there motionless with her neck stiff.

"Seventh sister has lacked education since she was young and has poor etiquette. As her sister-in-law, I have the obligation to discipline her." Tang Zhao looked at Master Qingning, who was watching the show with shining eyes, and said, "Please lend me some manpower from your temple."

Master Qingning said in a gentle manner, "Amitabha, the Buddhist belief is that helping others is the joy of Buddhism. Donor Tang, please do as you please."

The warrior monks who had been waiting outside the pilgrim's courtyard came in one after another.

Tang Zhao sat upright on a wooden chair and said, "Miss Gu Qi, Madam Meng, and Miss Meng, please kneel down and pay your respects to this princess."

The monks held sticks in their hands, and in groups of two, they crossed the sticks and placed them on the shoulders of three people, applying slight force.

The three of them felt as if a thousand pounds were on their shoulders, their legs could no longer support them, and they fell to their knees with a thud.

"Tang Zhao, you are so brave, let me go and wait for me to whine."

Dongmei, who arrived late, stuffed half a bun into Gu Xuan's mouth.

Tang Zhao glanced at everyone again.

The ladies present all knelt down and saluted, "Greetings to the Princess, long live the Princess."
