Chapter 7 Offering Scripture

Huicheng succeeded.

When he was about to go back after reciting sutras for Xie Qingyun, Eunuch Tiansheng said something meaningful to him.

Tian Sheng said: "The eminent monk is the first one who can persuade Her Majesty to wear plain clothes on that day."

The day of plain clothes?

Huicheng was puzzled, and was about to ask, but Tiansheng flew away with the floating dust in his arms.

Leaving a secret to the confused Huicheng.

But what Eunuch Tiansheng didn't know was that Huicheng also had a secret.

That was the person who persuaded His Majesty just now, not him.

In other words, it's not all him.

Because the words just now were originally spoken by Heavenly Monk.

He was greatly benefited by what he heard, so today in a hurry, he blurted it out without thinking.

I don't regret saying this, but Huicheng's state of mind has changed to some extent because so many things happened suddenly in one day.

gets a little more complicated.

He was surprised to see Xie Qingyun like this for the first time, and felt guilty for not honestly telling him the name of the Heavenly Monk at that time.

I also felt a little happy about what Eunuch Tiansheng said.

With such emotions, Huicheng returned to the Hall of Meditation.

After a long delay today, it's getting a little late.

But the Jingxin Hall was very lively.

However, in just a few days, Tian Monk's audience more than doubled.

The small Buddhist hall where the heavenly monk usually lectured could not accommodate so many people, so many palace residents simply stood outside the door to listen.

Are there so many people in the palace?

This was Huicheng's first thought.

Don't they all have to do work?
This was Huicheng's second thought.

He didn't know that today's monk is very famous in the palace, and the palace people have reached a tacit understanding in order to listen to his lectures.

When one group of people came to listen, another group of people did the work for those people without telling the boss.

Anyway, there is no one in His Majesty's harem today, they don't need to help anyone in the palace, there is no disturbance, no right and wrong, they just do some simple sweeping.

It's like this going round and round, with several waves of people coming in rotation.

So in fact, the real audience of Heavenly Monk is much larger than what Huicheng sees today.

Huicheng was still a little weak because of the things that happened during the day, so instead of gathering with the palace people to listen to the monk's sermons like in the past, he went to wash up first.

When he finished, there was no sign that Tian Monk had finished speaking.

Huicheng sighed and walked into the study alone.

I lit the lamp and originally planned to find some scriptures to read.

But while rummaging around, I accidentally saw a few pages tucked into a Buddhist scripture.

When opened, it is the handwriting of Tianseng.The words are like the person, gentle and steady, making people feel at peace after seeing them.

What was recorded on the paper was a Buddhist scripture, but it was filled with annotations. It must have been prepared by the heavenly monk in advance for the lecture.

Huicheng couldn't stop reading it, and even forgot the original purpose, and plunged into the scriptures written by Tianseng, forgetting to sleep and eat.

Watching the window turn from night to daylight, the sky is getting brighter, and the sound of the eunuch's banging sounds increases again and again.

Huicheng knew that he didn't have time to read it carefully, so he found some paper and copied it word for word according to the one written by Tianseng.

After copying, he dried the paper and put it into his sleeve, and then carefully put the pieces of paper written by Tian Monk back to their original places.

Huicheng blew out the lamp, walked out of the study and returned to the wing.

The heavenly monk is still awake and meditating with his eyes closed.

"I'm back." Huicheng said respectfully.

The heavenly monk hummed.

Huicheng was a little uneasy.

The Celestial Monk always knows everything, but he has been feeling guilty lately.

However, the monk didn't say anything to him.

Huicheng subconsciously touched a few pieces of tissue paper in his sleeves and felt relieved.

Soon he got dressed and fell asleep. Huicheng, who was tired after a long day, had a dream.

He dreamed that he took the place of the heavenly monk and preached scriptures for everyone.

Those people worshiped him like Buddha.

There was enthusiasm in his eyes.

Suddenly the scene changed and he once again arrived at the small Buddhist hall where he first met Xie Qingyun.

Xie Qingyun was dressed in plain clothes, and her face was as quiet and as calm as a water lily in the mist. "Eminent monk." Xie Qingyun opened her eyes when she noticed Huicheng's appearance.

"Please return to secular life and be my royal husband." Her eyes were burning.

Huicheng was taken aback, and repeatedly refused to back away.

"Why not?" Xie Qingyun's face showed confusion and sadness, with tears in her eyes. It was so beautiful that it was heartbreaking.

Huicheng hesitated and murmured for a long time before finally making up his mind.

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

"it is good."

Huicheng responded while changing into monk's clothes: "I'm a poor monk, I'll go over here."

He threw down the old monk's robe and hurried out of the door together with the summoned eunuch.

The two of them chatted for a while, and halfway through the journey, they heard the eunuch talk about His Majesty's recent study of scriptures.

After being reminded like this, Huicheng immediately remembered the scriptures he had copied yesterday, subconsciously touched his sleeves, thought something bad, and hurriedly turned around and hurried back.

I rushed back to the room, but the monk was not there.

The clothes showed no signs of being tampered with.

Huicheng breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly took out the pieces of paper from the clothes he had changed and put them into his chest.

The eunuch who was leading the way was waiting outside the door. When he saw him coming out, he smiled and said, "Did the eminent monk forget something important?"

"Yes." Huicheng quickened his pace to go to the royal study, and asked: "You just said that His Majesty has been studying scriptures recently?"

The eunuch responded: "Yes."

"Your Majesty said that he has been very angry recently and needs to read some Buddhist scriptures to calm down."

Huicheng nodded: "Then what Buddhist scriptures is your Majesty reading?"

The eunuch said: "I can't explain it clearly. Your Majesty has read a lot, but he has never finished it."

Huicheng let out an oh, and stopped asking.

After walking for a quarter of an hour, the two finally arrived at the Imperial Study Room.

Huicheng noticed that Qingyun was wearing black clothes today and sighed in relief.

"It's too late, poor monk. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Huicheng saluted.

Xie Qingyun had been waiting for him for a long time and was bored. Now that he finally arrived, she felt a little unhappy.

"No forgiveness," she said.

He leaned on the table with his arms and looked at Huicheng with his chin up, showing a bit of a girl's coquettishness.

"..." Huicheng didn't know how to respond for a moment and felt a little embarrassed.

Xie Qingyun kept a straight face for only three seconds. Seeing his appearance, she started laughing: "Silly monk."

She stood up and walked down from the desk to stand in front of Huicheng, wanting to take a closer look.

However, Huicheng was frightened and took a few steps back: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, this poor monk knows, knows, knows he is wrong."

"..."

Seeing Huicheng's flustered appearance, Xie Qingyun laughed.

"You're so cute," she said.

So he took a few steps back, leaving Huicheng the distance he wanted.

Huicheng felt his heart beating violently.

She was right in front of her, the girl with the beautiful smile was right in front of her.

In her dream yesterday, she was still asking herself whether he could be her royal husband.

Now he stood in front of him, laughing at himself as a "dumb monk".

Huicheng felt that his mind went blank.

He couldn't tell if it was a dream or reality.

"Okay..." Huicheng didn't think about it, but he spoke the answer first.

"Ok?"

"..."

When he woke up from the dream and realized what he was thinking, Huicheng knelt down in a panic and said, "The poor monk made a mistake. He made a mistake."

"..."

Xie Qingyun doesn't understand.

The stupid monk was not only stupid today, but also a little stupid.

Could it be that you were scared by yourself yesterday?

Just as she was about to ask, Huicheng spoke before her: "I heard that Your Majesty has been reading Buddhist scriptures recently, and the poor monk happened to have... a gift for me."
