After rebirth, I cried and criticized the prince

Inside the temple.

The old princess was about to light the incense and put it in the incense burner, but she remembered that the old Taoist priest said that one of them needed to receive it personally. The incense ash must be very hot just after burning, so she put down the incense and walked to the temple gate, looking for Aunt Cui.

At this time, Aunt Cui had a white gauze tied around her forehead and looked very miserable.

The old princess was extremely disgusted, her face was not good, and she said gloomily, "Aunt Cui, come in."

Aunt Cui walked into the temple trembling with fear.

The old princess handed the incense to Aunt Cui. Aunt Cui stepped forward to light it, then handed it to the old princess. The old princess bowed reverently and inserted it. She glanced at Aunt Cui with a somewhat impatient look and said, "You haven't taken the first bunch of incense ash yet. Do you want me to take it?"

Aunt Cui lowered her head quickly. It was rare to see the old princess look at her with such anger over the years. She restrained herself a little, kept a low profile, and reached out with a trembling hand to catch the falling incense ash. The incense ash had just dripped and was burned by the fire. When she took it with her palm, it fell right on the palm of her hand. The pain made Aunt Cui frown. In addition, the place where her head was hit also hurt, so now the pain came from all over.

She withdrew her hand tremblingly and placed it in front of the old princess, who nodded with satisfaction.

Aunt Cui quickly wrapped it up with paper, but her palms were black, burned by the incense ash. She rubbed her hands and grimaced in pain.

The old princess urged, "Why don't you hurry up?"

Aunt Cui quickly handed the incense ash to the guard and asked him to go find the old Taoist priest. She felt nervous and a few drops of sweat appeared on her forehead.

If she couldn't find the old Taoist priest, wouldn't she be doomed? She kept praying in her heart.

The old princess sat on the cushion and began to chant. While she was chanting, her mind was also distracted. She tried to calm herself down, but she would fiddle with the bracelet in her hand for a while and then stop.

Aunt Cui was waiting at the back, not daring to make a sound.

When the guard's voice came, "Old Princess, the person is here."

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief. The old princess stood up from the cushion and walked quickly out of the temple. Aunt Cui also followed with her head down. Her originally tense heart relaxed a little at this moment.

When they saw the old Taoist priest, they both felt like they had seen their savior.

The old princess changed her attitude and became extremely respectful. She lowered her head a little and said in a pleading tone, "Old Taoist priest, today's incident was indeed caused by the servants in the mansion being rude. The bloody disaster you mentioned has indeed come true, and I have also been implicated. I really didn't mean to offend you. How about you please help us resolve some of this bad luck and let it pass?"

The old Taoist stroked his white beard, looked at Aunt Cui, and laughed, "Does the injury hurt?" He stopped laughing, shook his head, and sighed, "Harsh words were the cause, and today's injury is the result."

Aunt Cui hurried forward and bowed her head to sincerely apologize, "Master, I was rude earlier. I didn't recognize the great man. Please help me."

The old Taoist thought for a moment, his face showing an awkward expression. He took a breath and said, "Never mind. Since you can find me, it is fate. Telling you about the bloody disaster today would be revealing the secret of heaven. Let me help you resolve some of it."

The old Taoist priest fiddled with it with his fingers, looking very skilled. When he finished, he opened his eyes and said, "Is there a statue of Guanyin in your house?"

The old princess quickly replied, "Yes."

He put down his fiddling fingers and said slowly, "Since we have Guanyin, it's easy. Just kneel before her for an hour every day, and the problem will be resolved in more than a month. However... this kneeling requires sincerity. You can't use your knees to support the east and west to show sincerity."

Aunt Cui nodded excitedly.

The old princess felt her knees aching. At her age, kneeling for an hour, then a month, was likely to cause her to become ill. She asked, "Master, do I have to kneel too?"

The old Taoist coughed and said, "Today you are the one who was harmed by her. It had nothing to do with you. Since you have been contaminated by her karma, you must kneel."

The old princess's face was solemn. She turned around and glared at Aunt Cui.

It's all because of Aunt Cui. Today's situation is really weird. If I don't kneel, I'm afraid something will happen. I can only listen to this old Taoist priest.

The old Taoist priest suddenly counted on his fingers and muttered mysteriously, "Old Madam, you are not from an ordinary wealthy family, are you? You are surrounded by nobility, and the child you gave birth to is also extraordinary."

The old princess was intrigued after hearing this. This old Taoist priest had actually seen through her extraordinaryness, and she hadn't revealed her identity. Moreover, he had figured out why she came to the temple today. She only half-spoken, "Old sir, to be honest, I'm not the wife of an ordinary wealthy family."

The old Taoist priest became more serious and asked, "Is there any news in the family recently?"

The old princess nodded in surprise.

The old Taoist priest continued, "The one you are marrying is of noble character, a true phoenix. And your son is the reincarnation of a dragon. With this true phoenix as his gateway, he was able to leap from the carp to the dragon gate and become a true dragon. They are truly extraordinary people. You are blessed, but..."

The old princess was excited after hearing this. Gu Shicheng was a prince, so he was indeed a dragon, and could become a real dragon, right? She hurriedly asked, "But what?"

"But a while ago, a local snake entered your mansion. The snake wanted to become a python or a dragon, but it has some evil spirits. I am afraid that the real phoenix will be harmed if it enters. If the phoenix is damaged, it will also affect your son. If he can't become a dragon, this dragon will be reduced to a local snake and can only follow the local snake for the rest of his life."

"My son has indeed taken in a concubine recently. This concubine used dirty tricks to get to the top. It turns out she is a local tyrant!" The old princess nodded in sudden realization, her heart tightening.

"No wonder..." the old Taoist priest shook his head. "Madam's son has been a dragon for ninety-nine lifetimes. He had the potential to become a true dragon in this lifetime. Unfortunately, he's under the influence of this local tyrant. I'm afraid if he can't become a dragon in this lifetime, he'll be reduced to a local tyrant."

The old princess's face tightened, and she was very panicked. She asked worriedly, "Master, is there any way to resolve this?"

The old Taoist priest counted on his fingers, then said with a hint of hesitation, "Now that the madam's son has been distracted by the local tyrant, I'm afraid even the True Phoenix will be harmed if he enters the family! You must be extremely wary of this local tyrant. Another thing, judging from the madam's face, your child must be stubborn. I'm afraid the local tyrant's words have affected the relationship between the True Phoenix and your son. If the True Phoenix can give birth to a child, it will surely bring good fortune to the father."

"Wang's father?"

"Alas... I have said too much today. It is truly rare to see such a noble family reincarnated together, and I cannot bear to see local tyrants hindering the noble from becoming a dragon. That is why I have said so much! When the True Phoenix enters your family, Madam, please do more to promote the relationship between you and your spouse. And... there are ways to prevent the local tyrants from harming the Phoenix, but..."

"But it doesn't matter."

The old Taoist priest said in embarrassment, "The solution is... as long as the local snakes don't give birth to snakes, otherwise these snakes will bring disaster to the country and the people."

The old princess looked a little surprised. Did the old Taoist priest mean that Qi Didi couldn't have children? She hesitated a little, but Qi Didi was not decent to begin with, and she couldn't let her affect her son.

His Majesty has been slow to appoint a crown prince. I think what the old Taoist meant was that Gu Shicheng was destined to become a true dragon, but was influenced by Qi Didi. Now it seems that it is true. His Majesty was somewhat dissatisfied with letting Qi Didi join the sect.

The crimes committed by the Qi family back then harmed many people, and Qi Didi was indeed a scourge.
