Crazy criticizes the empress because she is bent on mistaking Buddhism

Chapter 18

Xie Qingyun left immediately.

After Tian Sheng ordered people to invite the imperial master over there, he quickly followed Xie Qingyun and set off to the Jingxin Hall.

It was dusk, the sky was still dark, and the evening breeze blew by, bringing a slight coolness.

Xie Qingyun did not ride out in a sedan chair, but walked slowly along the palace wall with Tiansheng.

"I often walked this road when I was a child." Xie Qingyun recalled the past.

Although the palace has been rebuilt, the roads are still the same as before.

Tian Sheng said with a smile: "Yes. Your Majesty was still young at that time, and his running speed was already as fast as that of the Crown Prince."

The prince is weak, even though he is an elder brother, Xie Qingyun always beats him no matter whether the two of them compete in running, horseback riding or archery.

Xie Qingyun hummed: "Yes."

At that time, they ran all the way along this road every day to pay their respects to their father.

They ran in front, and Tian Sheng led others to chase them.

"Since the reconstruction, I haven't been there even once."

Xie Qingyun said, not knowing why, she always felt that this idea was somewhat familiar.

Tian Sheng responded: "It is no longer what it was back then."

"Has the palace become smaller?" Xie Qingyun asked casually.

Tiansheng smiled pleasantly: "Yes, Your Majesty is really good at predicting things!"

"..."

Xie Qingyun didn't want to say that.

But I don’t know why, this sentence just blurted out.

It was as if she had been there before.

Xie Qingyun smiled self-deprecatingly.

Outside the palace on the other side, Huicheng who was summoned was both happy and surprised.

Fortunately, he finally waited for Xie Qingyun's forgiveness.

What was surprising was that Xie Qingyun actually went to Jingxin Hall.

Huicheng walked out without saying a word.

Since returning from Cining Temple, he has been staying at home, and now he is somewhat unkempt.

Even some hair has grown out, but he doesn't have to deal with it urgently.

Logically speaking, this is a taboo, but now is not the time to care about it.

Huicheng casually put on his monk's robe and opened the door.

I saw a few monks standing outside.

If the leader is not the abbot of Cining Temple, who is it?

But Huicheng didn't have time to talk to them now, so he lowered his head and planned to avoid a few people.

Seeing that Huicheng wanted to detour, the abbot of Cining Temple hurriedly stepped forward and stopped him: "Master, we are here to thank you."

"No need." Huicheng said coldly.

In a flash, he avoided the abbot's obstruction and continued walking towards the palace.

The abbot was not discouraged, and still caught up with him: "Master, I see that you are destined to be a Buddha. I really shouldn't commit myself to this palace wall. Taking orders from one person is tantamount to cutting off your own future."

He looked sincere.

Huicheng is not happy anymore.

"I saved you earlier out of kindness. I didn't ask you to preach to me, let alone sow discord."

He could tell that the monk was alluding to His Majesty.

Huicheng has always been good-tempered, but now the other party is not talking about him but Xie Qingyun, so he can't bear to listen no matter what.

The abbot sighed: "The Imperial Master has misunderstood. I am not targeting Your Majesty because I care about the previous incident."

"I want to say that Your Majesty has her destined person. If the Imperial Master insists on staying, not only will he not get what he wants, but he will also cut off his own future..."

Before he finished speaking, Huicheng got angry: "Nonsense! Nonsense!"

After saying this, I realized that I had committed a crime.

It was the first time in his life that he had violated the precepts.

Huicheng was stunned.

The abbot of Cining Temple was full of compassion and said: "Master, please turn around and find another place." Huicheng threw up his sleeves and walked away quickly, unwilling to continue standing in front of the mansion and leaving a laughing stock to others.

Huicheng was in a hurry to enter the palace to see Xie Qingyun, but the latter was just the opposite. At this moment, he was still wandering around the palace leisurely, not in any hurry.

"Has Eunuch Sheng met another eminent monk?" Xie Qingyun asked.

Tian Sheng shook his head: "I have never seen him before, but I heard that Yun Qianshi values ​​another eminent monk very much and often runs there."

Xie Qingyun groaned, raising some interest: "Will there be someone in Yunyang?"

It's rare.

Xie Qingyun walked slowly, and now she could gradually see the door of Jingxin Hall.

The courtyard door was open and no one was guarding the door.

I heard that the eminent monk didn't like being served, so no one from the palace was left.

Further forward, the whole courtyard quickly comes into view.

Xie Qingyun frowned slightly: "Eunuch Sheng."

"Didn't you say that eminent monks don't want servants to serve them?"

Tiansheng said: "Yes." As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his eyes and was also stunned.

We agreed that we don't need to serve, so why are there so many palace people standing in this courtyard?

He said why he couldn't find anyone to do things recently.

It turns out they all came here.

Tian Sheng was a little embarrassed and was about to speak out, but Xie Qingyun gave him a "hush" gesture.

She quietly walked into the Jingxin Hall without alerting anyone.

The palace people in the courtyard seemed to be attracted by something, and they were not aware of the emperor's arrival at all.

Xie Qingyun got closer, and vaguely began to hear the voice of monks preaching sutras from inside.

It was a young voice. For some reason, it was the first time I heard this voice, but it made Xie Qingyun feel inexplicably familiar.

She didn't disturb the people around her, and she stood there with the palace people, wanting to hear how the heavenly monk preached scriptures.

It's a pity that he came at the wrong time. Xie Qingyun was just about to listen to the content carefully, but the Tianseng had already finished today's explanation.

The palace people who had recovered their senses were about to evacuate when they unexpectedly saw the emperor standing behind them. The group of people suddenly broke out in cold sweat and knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty forgive me."

"Your Majesty, forgive me."

The voices begging for mercy sounded one after another, making Xie Qingyun frown for a while.

Tian Sheng said with a sullen face: "Why do we say that there is no one available in the palace recently? It turns out that one or two of them are here to be lazy!"

"What are you still doing here? Hurry up, don't get in the way of His Majesty."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people in the palace seemed to have received the pardon order. They all breathed a long sigh of relief and ran out in groups with their heads lowered.

It was packed so fast that several people fell down.

This caused another scolding from Tian Sheng.

Xie Qingyun glanced at Tiansheng.

Tiansheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down."

"..."

Xie Qingyun sighed.

She originally didn't want to do anything to these palace people, so why did the palace people just let it go and even Tiansheng was so nervous?
"That's all." Xie Qingyun walked in without any care.

In the room, the heavenly monk had finished his lecture for the day and was sorting out the scriptures.

When he raised his eyes, he saw a girl standing by the door.

Wearing a bright yellow robe, her black hair hangs down like a waterfall, and is only tied up by a golden band on her forehead. She looks very noble.

The Heavenly Monk did not continue to look and lowered his eyes: "I have met Your Majesty."

Xie Qingyun stood by the door for a long time, staring at the monk in the room without blinking.

"You monk, you are so handsome."

This is Xie Qingyun's first sentence.

"Have I seen you somewhere?"

This is Xie Qingyun’s second sentence.
