The emperor looked at the young monk again and asked: "You just called Master Master, are you the Master's apprentice?"

The little novice said, "Yes! I am the master's closed disciple!"

The emperor said: "Tongyan Wuji, I don't blame you, I will reward you. Tell me, what do you want?"

The little novice monk looked at the string of Buddhist beads on the emperor's wrist and said, "I want this..."

"This one? This one won't work." The emperor said, "This is my son's birthday present to me. Please change it to something else!"

The little novice said: "Then, can the emperor give me three taels of silver? I can go and buy one."

The emperor laughed loudly: "Three taels of silver can't buy this! My son bought this for 3000 taels of silver!"

Little novice monk: "Yes! There is a small vendor at the entrance of the mountain selling them for three taels of silver. I want Master to buy them for me, but he said it is too expensive."

The emperor was stunned: "Is it sold at the gate of the mountain?"

At this time, the King of Chu said: "It must be that the people knew that His Royal Highness King Liang had sent this prayer bead to the emperor, and they rushed to follow suit."

The emperor nodded and said with a smile: "Whatever is used in the court is what is popular among the people. No matter, this is what you said. If you want three taels of silver, then I will give you three taels of silver. Go buy one and play!"

The young novice monk was overjoyed and knelt down to thank him.

When going down the mountain, the emperor took a special look at the small vendors on the side of the road. Some sold snacks, toys, and Buddhist supplies.

Among them, there were actually such strings of Buddhist beads hanging on the stalls of several small vendors, with a price tag of three taels, exactly the same as the one on his wrist.

The emperor glanced at the string of beads on his wrist, said nothing, and set off back.

……

Both Mu Yu and the Mu brothers went to the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, and they probably told it as a story with ups and downs. When Mu Yunlan came to tell Bai Xianyuan about this, he also said it with ups and downs.

After hearing this, Bai Xianyuan kept laughing.

Mu Yunlan: "Your Highness, what's so funny about this? Why do you keep laughing?"

Bai Xianyuan said: "I was thinking, if the string of Buddhist beads that the emperor regards as a treasure is indeed a string of three taels of silver—oh! No, if you buy in bulk, you can buy three strings of things for one tael of silver. Don't you think it's funny? ?"

Mu Yunlan: "That is a birthday present from His Royal Highness King Liang to His Majesty. How could he give such a cheap thing as a treasure to the Emperor?"

Bai Xianyuan: "It is not ruled out that King Liang was also deceived. He seems to be easy to deceive."

"Hahaha!" Mu Yunlan laughed: "My brother asked me to tell you that he said that in order to save the child. Please don't blame him."

Bai Xianyuan: "How could it be? Only Mr. Bo Qian has such kindness and wit."

Mu Yunlan: "But my mother also said... that the eminent monk of Linggu Temple is very powerful, and anyone who has the opportunity to get his advice will do anything. Then... the world's change of ownership... what does it mean?"

Bai Xianyuan was silent for a moment, and said: "...Maybe it refers to the change of owner of the East Palace. It is imperative for the emperor to make Huanyi the crown prince."

Mu Yunlan looked at her with probing and intelligent eyes: "Not necessarily?"

Bai Xianyuan: "Huh? What does that mean?"

After all, Mu Yunlan didn't say anything, and smiled: "Forget it, I'm a girl, so there's no need to ask so many questions."

Bai Xianyuan smiled and said: "Yun Lan, you are very smart, with a heart of love. Little General Xie is also smart and wise. You two will be perfect together in the future, and you will definitely manage the Xie family better."

Mu Yunlan: "Why did you say this all of a sudden..."

Bai Xianyuan: "Yo? Are you shy?"

……

The emperor never gave up looking for treasure.

On the second day, Bai Xianyuan was surprised to hear that the emperor announced Lou Chuyan to enter the palace.Said that Concubine Jia Gui was ill, and asked her to see a doctor by name.

A Niang was only a few days away from confinement, Bai Xianyuan was worried about her, so she also went into the palace.

He also brought a visiting gift.

However, when he went there, he found that Lou Chuyan was kneeling on the hard ground, sweating profusely on his forehead, precarious.

There was also an obvious five-fingerprint on her face.

Wu Mi sat on the couch, and the servant girl hammered her legs, feeling very comfortable.

Bai Xianyuan went to help A Niang up, then went into the room, and slapped Wu Mi hard on the face.

Neither Wu Mi nor her servants expected that Bai Xianyuan would do this, so they were caught off guard and gave her a solid slap.

Then Wu Mi's servants rushed up, some protected Wu Mi, and some in the room wanted to push Bai Xianyuan away.

The people brought by Bai Xianyuan naturally protected her, watching the two sides pushing and shoving to fight.

Wu Mi shouted: "Everyone stop!"

Only then did the two sides stop their hands, confronting each other like black-eyed chickens.

"Wu Mi, what's wrong with you? Do you want my mother to kneel down and treat you?" Bai Xianyuan asked word by word.

Wu Mi said: "She hurt me. I suspected that he wanted to murder me, so I made her kneel down. What? Can't I?"

"Of course not!" Bai Xianyuan said, "My mother is not an imperial physician, and she has never received a share of your salary. It is not her duty to treat you! You invited her all the way, but you don't trust her , then please ask another master! What is the reason for punishing her to kneel there and beat her?"

Wu Mi couldn't say no to her, and sneered: "I just did it! What can you do to me? Huh?"

Bai Xianyuan turned around, pulled Lou Chuyan and left.

Wu Mi clapped her hands, but a group of strong women and maidservants came to the door, blocking their way.

Bai Xianyuan was full of momentum: "Who gave you the courage to stop me? Get out of the way!"

They were obviously a little scared, but they got Wu Mi's order, they didn't dare to get out of the way, and looked at Wu Mi.

Wu Mi chuckled lightly: "How much courage have you grown to stop the Crown Princess? Why don't you let Her Royal Highness go?"

So, they let go.

However, only Bai Xianyuan was released, and when they reached Lou Chuyan, they stopped her again.

"What are you doing?" Bai Xianyuan turned around and asked.

"Princess Concubine, you can leave anytime." Wu Mi came to the door and said, "But Mrs. Lou can't leave. I begged the emperor with great difficulty to see her."

Bai Xianyuan: "You're not sick at all!"

"I have!" Wu Mi said, "I am indeed sick, and will have an attack at any time! I need Mrs. Lou to be by my side all the time, unless my illness is cured, otherwise, she can't leave."

Bai Xianyuan's face darkened: "What do you mean? Put my mother under house arrest?"

Wu Mi: "It's just a cure."

"Ah!" Lou Chuyan said at this moment, "You go first!"

Bai Xianyuan understood what A Niang meant, and asked her to leave first and seek help from the Queen Mother or Queen.

But how could she trust her mother to stay alone in this den of tigers and wolves?

Lou Chuyan smiled and said, "Don't worry! Concubine Jia is not willing to kill me! She didn't kill me before, and she won't now."

Wu Mi glanced sideways at Lou Chuyan and said nothing with a sullen face.
