After Transmigration, Her Whole Family Are Villains

......

August 15th, there is a temple fair.

Tonight, the moon is bright, and the stars are sparse; it's very late, yet the sky is still a deep blue.

Princess Huiyun is taking Mianmian and Cong Brother to the temple fair tonight.

Despite her son's frowns during the day, she doesn't care.

As they say, a grown child is beyond a mother's control; if he frowns, let him frown. She's not afraid.

She's found that when dealing with her own son, if she pretends not to understand, he basically can't do anything about it.

Secondly, as long as she treats her daughter-in-law well, her son will turn a blind eye.

Princess Huiyun is quite envious of her daughter-in-law.

Although her daughter-in-law doesn't fit the traditional beauty standards, her son just loves this type.

The emperor works tirelessly every day, just to spend more time with the empress. If there were a more malicious mother-in-law, she might think of finding someone else for the emperor.

However, Princess Huiyun herself is a firm believer in love; she only envies, but doesn't harbor any other feelings.

She is extremely carefree.

Even when she heard that her ex-husband died a tragic death, she didn't show much emotion. At most, she ate an extra bowl of rice that night. She is quite focused on health and maintaining her figure, so eating an extra bowl was a bit unhealthy, but she did it for her ex-husband.

To make it convenient to go out and play, Princess Huiyun obtained her daughter-in-law's consent.

Her son glared at her, but she ignored him. Once she convinced her daughter-in-law, her son's glaring eyes were of no use.

It must be said, the old princess does have some wisdom in life, although not much.

Qin Luoxia is usually straightforward, although she doesn't like delicate beauties as daughters-in-law. However, if this delicate person is her mother-in-law, and she's also quite coquettish, Qin Luoxia really can't resist.

In the end, she agreed.

So, in the evening, Princess Huiyun, Mianmian, and Cong Brother went out to the temple fair together, with hidden guards accompanying them.

Cong Brother usually doesn't like to run around, but since Mianmian insisted on dragging him along, he was willing.

With a serious face, but the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Cong Brother is a Capricorn, likes to be happy, but doesn't say it directly; he always wants people to guess. Fortunately, he's easy to read.

There was a palace banquet in the palace, and the emperor and empress couldn't leave.

Princess Huiyun took Mianmian and Cong Brother and sneaked away.

The street was very lively.

With the new emperor's ascension, the capital was exceptionally prosperous.

The common people couldn't feel the power struggles at the top, but their daily lives were stable and secure. They could go out on the streets, run small businesses, have land to cultivate, and eat and drink without worry, which is a prosperous era.

No one needed to shout; the excitement was spontaneous.

The entire capital was open and stable.

Not only were there locals, but also many outsiders who seemed to be flocking to the capital.

Because the new emperor opened the imperial examinations, scholars from all over the country were pouring into the capital.

The streets were not only crowded with people but also filled with various tricks and acrobatics.

People's faces were all smiling.

Fathers held their children high, and wherever the child pointed, the father would go.

The lanterns were bright and flickering.

Princess Huiyun, who was initially full of enthusiasm, soon became unaccustomed.

Fortunately, they had already booked a seat at a restaurant with a window view.

They deliberately chose not a private room but a seat in the hall.

This restaurant was extremely popular, with one of the chefs having come from the imperial kitchen (the emperor's private treasury revenue).

The seats by the window in the hall were really good; you could sit, eat, and watch the bustling crowd outside. Of course, the location of this restaurant was also excellent.

Sitting in the restaurant, Princess Huiyun let out a sigh of relief. She was really afraid of losing Mianmian and Cong Brother, but she couldn't help but want to let them experience the liveliness.

She also wanted to make up for her own regrets through the children.

However, it seems that her regrets weren't many, just a little bit of compensation was enough.

Cong Brother also let out a sigh of relief.

There were too many people, too many, everywhere felt sharp, really not accustomed, but also very vivid.

Mianmian was very happy.

It was like shopping at a night market; as long as you watch out for your belongings and yourself, you're good.

After squeezing through the crowd, sitting here to eat snacks and drink tea, it was quite comfortable.

Sitting in the best viewing spot, looking out the window at the bustling traffic and bright lights.

Today's temple fair, besides the crowd, there were also various acrobatics and processions to welcome the gods.

There were also formations from various temples, a bit like the opening ceremony of a sports event.

Watching groups of people pass by, each with its own characteristics, the most exciting was the fire-breathing performance.

There was also a group of monks chanting sutras, chanting so beautifully that it seemed to resonate with the soul. As they walked by, the streets became quieter.

Princess Huiyun looked indifferently, finding everything interesting, except when she saw the chanting monks, she turned her head and didn't look again.

"In the future, don't like someone who obviously doesn't like you; you should like someone who obviously likes you. Preferably like your father and mother."

Mianmian nodded obediently.

She understood; Princess Grandma was reminiscing about her own past mistakes.

After being in the capital for so long, she had learned of the unspeakable royal secret: Princess Grandma had once had a relationship with a monk when she was young.

So her grandfather was a monk... This was quite fashionable, no wonder Princess Huiyun was ahead of her time, indeed very daring.

Anyway, Princess Huiyun's love and hate story could fill a book.

Mianmian nodded obediently; there are some love-struck people who like to challenge, who don't like them, they like them, basically the hardest type of love-struck person to understand, commonly known as the love saint.

Cong Brother silently peeled the nuts and placed them in front of Mianmian, arranging them in a circle. He also took away the tea Mianmian only drank a sip of and replaced it with a new cup.

The three of them sat there eating and drinking. Princess Huiyun felt it was another meaningful day, taking the children to see the liveliness and giving them some moral education, worthy of her son's praise.

Just as she was thinking, she suddenly felt someone watching her. She looked up and seemed to see a familiar face in the crowd.

The person was unforgettable, as if in a dream.

Princess Huiyun only saw a figure and then it disappeared.

Looking again, there were only flickering lights.

Indeed, she smiled self-deprecatingly.

Past events cannot be mentioned; as soon as they are spoken, they make one lose focus, almost as if it were decades ago.

It was just because she looked at that person one more time in the crowd.

From then on, it was uncontrollable, half a lifetime of restlessness.

The princess smiled self-deprecatingly, no longer the innocent girl of her youth, yet her beauty remained unchanged, enhanced by the passage of time.

......

The next day.

The whole world was abuzz with a piece of news.

Bodhisattva Jingjue returned with the true scriptures, a total of 344 Buddhist scriptures, 130 grains of the Buddha's flesh relics, sandalwood-carved Buddha statues, gold-carved Buddha statues, and silver-carved Buddha statues.

The New Emperor personally received the mission team.

And a banquet was held in the palace.

It was known that Bodhisattva Jingjue had passed away on the return journey.

The senior monks of the mission team gave a sermon in the palace, and the listeners were entranced.

When the monks saw Cong Brother, they were amazed and asked Cong Brother if he would like to become the new Bodhisattva.

The Bodhisattva is equivalent to the crown prince in the Buddhist sect, the emperor.

Cong Brother refused.

Later, the mission team left a large number of books, maps, and precious materials and left quietly.

The court displayed the Buddhist scriptures, relics, and Buddha statues in Chang'an Tower for the public to admire.

One day, Princess Huiyun secretly took Mianmian out of the palace to play and passed by Chang'an Tower. Seeing the crowds lining up to worship, the incense was flourishing, she was curious and went up to look.

As a result, she saw that the three Buddha statues on the tower were of various forms, with vivid expressions, seemingly angry, seemingly happy, and seemingly smiling. Upon closer inspection, she found that the Buddha statues looked very much like Princess Huiyun and Mianmian, both with gentle smiles at the corners of their mouths.

......

Saving all beings, but ultimately not saving oneself.

One thought to become a Buddha, one thought to become a demon.

The young man sought the Buddha and gave up his beloved woman, traveling the world, only to discover that the woman he loved had long been the Buddha in his heart.

So on the way to the West, each Bodhisattva gained a new face.
