Crazy criticizes the empress because she is bent on mistaking Buddhism

Chapter 49 Recognizing the Living Buddha

After seeing off the ministers, Xie Qingyun was in a good mood.

Just as he was about to go to the Jingxin Hall to see the Heavenly Monk, he saw Tian Sheng's face hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong?" Xie Qingyun asked.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Master would like to see you." Tian Sheng lowered his head and said.

Ever since it was reported that Xie Qingyun summoned the ministers, Huicheng came to ask for an audience with His Majesty.

He must have been waiting at the palace gate for several hours now.

"Xuan." Xie Qingyun said.

Although Xie Qingyun did not tell Huicheng in person about going to Jiangnan before leaving, she did not deliberately hide it from him.

So in the past two months, Huicheng probably guessed that Xie Qingyun was not in the capital.

Tian Sheng asked hesitantly: "Has your Majesty already thought of an excuse?"

Xie Qingyun hummed: "There is no need to hide this from the Imperial Master."

Tian Sheng responded, and then he felt relieved and summoned people into the palace.

Huicheng suppressed his excitement and stepped into the imperial study.

It's been three months.

Three months ago, he had been chanting sutras for her here every day to soothe her emotions.

It was also three months ago that in order to be worthy of her, he had to leave here to collect reputation for himself.

Now he has finally achieved something, and finally stepped here again.

Xie Qingyun had already changed out of her dragon robe and was wearing a long aqua skirt. She was lying on the beauty's couch and letting the palace ladies beat her legs.

She had no time to spare all morning, and now she just wanted to rest.

Seeing Huicheng's figure, Xie Qingyun tilted her head to look at him and burst into laughter.

Her smile was so bright and bright that even the dazzling sunlight eclipsed it.

"We haven't seen you for three months, how come the Imperial Master is so shady?" Xie Qingyun said.

Facing Huicheng, she rarely behaves like an emperor.

After all, unlike Yicheng, this monk was extremely timid, and Xie Qingyun didn't want to scare him.

Huicheng was stunned, looking at the girl he had been thinking about day and night sitting there, very close at hand.

She still smiled like she did when we first met.

My heart calmed down and was wrapped in tenderness.

"Ah."

He lowered his head: "I often do things in the sun lately."

"If Your Majesty doesn't like it... this poor monk should stay out of the sun from now on." Huicheng looked serious.

Sure enough, he hasn't changed at all, he is still so blank, and he takes everything others say to heart.

Xie Qingyun couldn't help laughing: "I'm just joking with you."

Seeing that he was covered in dust, Xie Qingyun asked the palace servants to give him a seat.

"I heard that the Imperial Master has been very effective in managing refugees recently." Xie Qingyun took the initiative.

I heard that people even regarded Huicheng as a living Buddha, hung his portrait in their homes, and visited him every day to pray for blessings.

Huicheng shook his head, his face slightly red: "This is what a poor monk should do."

For Your Majesty.

Xie Qingyun smiled: "The reputation of the Imperial Master is so high. If I don't do something, I will be too neglectful of you."

She waved her hand to Tiansheng and ordered: "Go and choose a piece of land to build a temple for the national master."

Since the people are willing to worship the national master, she doesn't mind building a place exclusive to Huicheng for Huicheng's followers.

Huicheng was at a loss when he heard the emperor said that he wanted to build a temple for himself.

He had only read about building temples specifically in those Buddhist scriptures.

Those are the honors that can only be obtained by people with great kindness.

Does the emperor think that he is also a kind person?
If this matter is put before, he must be flattered.

but now……

"Your Majesty." Huicheng interrupted Xie Qingyun's order.

"I don't need to pay tribute."

He lowered his head: "My lord... I just want to be by His Majesty's side and help His Majesty solve problems. That's all I want."

Huicheng was a little nervous, afraid of hearing Xie Qingyun's cold rejection.

But Xie Qingyun readily agreed: "Okay."

"I am lucky that the Imperial Master has this kind of heart."

She said: "But this matter does not conflict with my building a temple for the national master."

She asked Tiansheng to send someone to get started. She looked at Huicheng and said casually: "I am very grateful to the Imperial Master for helping me so much." "When I get married to Tianseng in the future, I will also ask the Imperial Master to help me." I just have to deal with those long-winded ministers."

"..."

what did she say?
marry?

Huicheng looked up in disbelief.

There was confusion, surprise, and sadness mixed in his eyes.

"His Majesty……"

He opened his mouth, but lost his voice after spitting out a word.

She said that she wanted to marry Tianseng...

But how?

Doesn't she hate Tianseng very much?

Huicheng wanted to ask, but his throat seemed to be blocked. No matter what, he couldn't say the question.

Xie Qingyun seemed tired and raised her eyes lazily: "Does the Imperial Master have anything else to do?"

Huicheng looked at her deeply, trying hard to find even a hint of amusement in her eyes.

How he expected her to suddenly say "ha" like before and say with a smile, "I tricked you."

but.

Xie Qingyun is very serious.

Everything she said just now was true.

Huicheng closed his eyes and shook his head gently: "No more."

"Na Chen, please leave." He looked pale and left the imperial study as if he was running for his life.

Tian Sheng stood behind Xie Qingyun and couldn't help but sigh as he watched the lost figure gradually move away.

"Your Majesty actually knows, right?" he said softly.

Xie Qingyun's eyes also stayed on that back figure, and she hummed when she heard this: "I know."

She knows that Huicheng likes her.

so what?
She doesn't respond to everyone who likes her.

Besides, she was kind enough to tell Huicheng the truth personally.

They are also planning to build a temple for him and make him a living Buddha in Daqi for the people to believe in.

Is this not enough?
Xie Qingyun yawned. After solving so many things in one breath today, she was really tired and just wanted to sleep.

"Call the Heavenly Monk to come to my palace." Xie Qingyun said.

"I want to sleep with you."

............................................................

Huicheng stumbled back to his temporary residence in the refugee village.

He really couldn't understand why.

He vaguely heard from Eunuch Sheng that Tianseng went somewhere with His Majesty for the imperial examination.

But he didn't care.

They were all monks from the White Horse Temple, and he thought he understood the character of the Heavenly Monk.

He is such a cold and pure person.

Before today, Huicheng was confident that nothing would happen between them.

But today the emperor said that she was going to marry Tianseng.

What about him?
Does he do all this?

He had already made enough preparations to return to secular life and earned enough reputation.

And what about the monk?He easily won her heart without doing anything.

Huicheng's despair was mixed with heartbreak, and he was confused.

He returned to his residence and slumped down on the chair.

I don’t know how long it took, but there was a quarrel outside the room.

Soon a group of people walked in, pressing down a man who was tied up.

"Living Buddha, please make the decision for us."

One person was holding a package of things wrapped in brown paper, pointing at the man who was tied up and accusing him.

"This person was from Huahualou before, but now he has come to the outskirts of Beijing. Instead of starting a new life, he will continue to follow the same old path."

He threw the brown paper bag on the ground and said angrily: "He actually wants to drug a good girl to force her into submission. What a heinous crime!"

　Two more.

　　I'm too diligent. Praise me.
