When Jiang Zhao heard what Chen Zhining said, he spat out a mouthful of rice.

He quickly swallowed the remaining food in his mouth, and then used tea to smooth his throat. Then he said, "Why did you suddenly think of letting our good girl go to the Buddhist temple for meditation? Is this... is this really possible?"

"Why am I so worried about our daughter?!"

Hearing this, Chen Zhining said with an unpleasant expression.

"Isn't there anything we can do now? It would definitely be better to go to a Buddhist temple and practice meditation."

"Master Kongkong said this. Have you forgotten it before? Master Kongkong's predictions are always quite accurate, so I thought... why not just listen to Master Kongkong for once."

After hearing what she said, Jiang Zhao pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "Master Kongkong is indeed quite accurate, but you said that our Chang'an Grand Princess should go to the Buddhist temple. Why am I so unhappy?"

"Oh, my daughter went to the Buddhist temple. Of course I am not happy. Our Chang'an Princess has always lived a life of luxury at home. Now that my daughter has left home rashly, I am not happy. But in order to give her a chance of survival, let her... go."

Hearing this, Jiang Zhao sighed from afar, and then said: "Alas, there is really nothing I can do. Forget it. Although I am reluctant in my heart, I also know that this Master Kong Kong is indeed very accurate."

"so be it."

"Then I will let Zhaojia stay in the Buddhist temple. If she really stays there, we will send her to the temple and completely avoid this disaster."

"If there is no place to stay, we can just take Princess Chang'an back home."

"Ah."

Chen Zhining nodded.

Although Jiang Zhao was unhappy, he did not refute it but agreed to it.

He also believed what Master Kongkong said.

Since Master Kong Kong is the guest of honor of the Empress Dowager, he must have his own special skills and must be very capable.

Then just believe him for once and believe what he says.

Now, for the sake of Princess Chang'an, they, as parents, have to send Princess Chang'an to the Huguo Temple outside, no matter how reluctant or sad they are.

After they finished their meal, Chen Zhining told the maids to pack Zhaojia's luggage and let Zhaojia live in the Huguo Temple outside the city.

At this time, after Princess Chang'an was called over, she heard such bad news.

Zhao Jia said to Chen Zhining in a daze: "Mother, why did you send me to the Huguo Temple?!"

"Don't you want me to go to Huguo Temple to adjust my mind and cultivate my character?"

Chen Zhining said to Princess Chang'an with a smile.

"After you stay there for three or five years, you can come back."

"If you really like staying here, then stay for eight years."

Hearing this, Zhao Jia fell silent.

After that, she immediately cried and said, "Mother, did I do something wrong, so you want to drive me away?!"

"???"

"!!!"

Hearing this, Chen Zhining quickly said: "How is this possible? How could our Zhaojia do something wrong?!"

"Even if you did something wrong, as a parent, we can't be so cruel as to send you to a Buddhist temple!"

"I just want you to adjust your mind and cultivate your character over there. I just want you to learn more Zen principles from Master Kong Kong."

"What do you think?"

"That would just mean becoming a nun. I won't go there!"

Chen Zhining said helplessly: "You are just going there to practice Buddhism without hair, not to become a nun, what are you afraid of?"

Hearing this, Zhao Jia raised his red eyes and said, "...Really?"

"I heard that many noble ladies in Kyoto would be driven by their parents to become nuns in Buddhist or Taoist temples if they did something wrong."

"If you ask me to go to a Taoist temple or a Buddhist temple, I don't want to go."

"If you want to learn Zen from Master Kong Kong, why not just let Master Kong Kong come to our house to teach? Why do we have to go there?!"

"The Huguo Temple is so far away, mother, are you willing to let me go to such a far place?"

"And who knows... maybe we won't see each other for a long, long time."

When Chen Zhining heard this, he felt very distressed.

To use the words of Madam Wang in The Story of Minglan, Zhaojia is her first-born daughter and no one can be mean to her.

Among the seven children, Zhaojia is a daughter, and she is also his eldest daughter. How can he not love her in his heart? How could he possibly want to drive her away?

Isn't there anything that can be done now?

Chen Zhining sighed and touched a mole on Zhaojia's forehead. She had said before that this mole was unusual and might be the reincarnation of Fulian.

So, now maybe... Zhao Jia does have this fate, and he really needs to go to Buddhism to practice meditation for a period of time.

Many things may be destined.

Chen Zhining said to Zhao Jia, "You need to practice meditation and comprehend Zen principles, but it is completely different from the practice of the brothers and sisters in our house."

"Zhao Jia, mother wants you to go there and stay with Master Kong Kong. It's not just for simple training, but you want to go there to avoid disasters."

"As long as you stay there for a few years, maybe this disaster will be gone!"

"Mother and father love you very much, you know that! How could we send you to that place for no reason? Don't you think so?!"

"..."

Zhao Jia nodded when he heard this, and then said aggrievedly: "What mother said is right, but tell me, if I really have a disaster, will it really be useful for me to burn incense and worship the Buddha?!"

"Shouldn't I do more good things? That would be helpful."

Chen Zhining's whole body trembled. Damn, what his good daughter said made so much sense.

She nodded and said, "Mother thinks it makes sense. After that...if you go to the Buddhist temple, you should do more good deeds."

Zhao Jia quickly shook his head and said, "I don't want to go, I don't want to go!"

"Mother, you are bad, I want to go find father!"

"..."

Half an hour later, Zhao Jia came back crying, and immediately said to Chen Zhining: "I'll go, I'll go, is that not okay?!"

"Father is so evil."

Chen Zhining didn’t know what Zhaojia had experienced or what Jiang Zhao had said to her, but in any case Zhaojia went to Jiang Zhao’s study, and when Zhaojia came back she had no choice but to compromise and go to the Buddhist temple.

Chen Zhining touched his chin and then said to Zhao Jia with a smile:
