Chapter 294: You should become a monk
The abbot of Songqing Temple has already prepared and put on new cassocks that he rarely wears several times throughout the year. All the monks in the entire temple have also put on brand-new robes.
Now that the Empress came to Songqing Temple in person to worship the Buddha, the incense money must be indispensable. In addition to the incense money, all the monks' clothes had to be changed.
After all, it was the Empress who arrived in person, and she wanted to give the Empress a good impression.
After walking up the steps, the Empress greeted the abbot of Songqing Temple for a few words. Then, under the leadership of the abbot, everyone filed in and began to offer incense and worship the Buddha.
Zhu Songshou stood at the door of the temple and did not go in. He crossed his hands in front of him and carefully looked at the layout of the temple. All the places that should be occupied have been occupied, so there was no need to worry about someone ambushing him.
When Zhu Song was bored and wondering when it would be over so that he could go back and have a good sleep, he saw Hu Shangyi walking over with a smile. When Zhu Song saw her, he felt that nothing good happened.
"Hu Shangyi, what are your orders from the Queen?"
Hu Shangyi smiled and said: "Your Highness, the Queen Mother said that since Your Highness is already here, why not go in and burn a stick of incense? After all, His Highness is a descendant of the royal family and a prince of the imperial court. It is good to pray for the country and his family."
Zhu Song tilted his head, looking at the figures behind Hu Shangyi and the female relatives coming and going, and felt that there must be something fishy behind this.
But even if he knew there was something fishy behind it, Zhu Song had to move forward, even if he fell in, there was nothing he could do.
"Then please ask Hu Shangyi to lead the way!"
Hu Shangyi felt that His Highness King Han was really a smart man, and it was easy to deal with smart people. I am afraid that His Highness King Han had already guessed what was going to happen next.
Hu Shangyi took Zhu Song to receive three sticks of incense from a young monk, and then took Zhu Song into the Guanyin Hall. It's strange to say that no matter which Buddhist hall it is in Songqing Temple, it is already full of people.
But when we arrived at the Guanyin Hall, there was no one there.
"Isn't this too obvious?"
Zhu Song gave a bitter smile, lit three sticks of incense in the nearby brazier, walked towards Guanyin, bowed before him, and inserted the three sticks of incense into the incense burner.
But at this moment, Zhu Song also heard a burst of footsteps coming from behind.
Zhu Song turned around and saw Xu Miaojin walking in step by step, with confused eyes, as if she was worried.
The lighting in some Buddhist temples is not as good as that of the Main Hall, such as the Guanyin Temple. Although there are many incense candles lit inside, the light is still not very good. Outside, the autumn air is crisp, the sun is high, and the light is very strong. Standing outside is not careful.
Looking inside, I couldn't see anyone inside at all.
Xu Miaojin walked halfway when she suddenly saw a pair of shoes in front of her eyes. When she raised her head again, Zhu Song was already less than one foot away from her.
Xu Miaojin's first reaction was to frown in disgust, and then turned around, only to find that the maid who brought her had gone somewhere long ago. She also understood at this time that this was basically a trap.
Xu Miaojin subconsciously wanted to leave, but at this moment Zhu Song said.
"Miss Miaojin, you don't have to be like this, right? I'm not a man-eating beast, and I didn't expect to meet Miss Miaojin here!"
Xu Miaojin held the incense in her hand tightly, so hard that the incense broke.
"I will not marry you. Even if I want to marry you, I still want to be the main wife. If Your Highness can't do it, then please tell the Emperor and the Queen for me that this is the end of the matter between you and me.
"
After Zhu Song heard this, he laughed with a little disdain. After Xu Miaojin heard this, he felt even more disgusted.
"why are you laughing?"
"I'm laughing at you for being so self-righteous!" Zhu Song said slowly: "Miss Miaojin seems to have misunderstood something. I don't want to marry you either. I'm not just begging to marry you. Today is the first time for both of us.
When we meet, I love my princess very much, not to mention that the position of princess was given by my father, Emperor Taizu, Emperor Gao, and no one can change her."
"I have to admit that Miss Miaojin is indeed very beautiful, but I don't see anyone who falls in love with you. To be honest, I really don't want you to marry into my family. I, the king and the princess, are still
Living a good life with Concubine Zhao will not be better, and the good life of many years will be broken, so I really don’t want you to marry into my family."
"Instead of you being so wary of me, why don't the two of us have a good discussion. If you don't want to marry, and I don't want to marry, the two of us must find a way to fool the emperor and the queen, right?"
Xu Miaojin turned around when she heard this and looked at Zhu Song with some confusion.
"What is deception?"
"ah?"
Zhu Song touched his nose awkwardly.
"The meaning of cheating is probably similar to fooling. Well... it means cheating. The two of us have to come up with the best excuse to deceive the emperor and queen, so that we don't have to torture each other. What do you think?"
Xu Miaojin was even more disgusted with Zhu Song, especially when Zhu Song meant to look down on and beat himself up in his words. Although this was indeed the case, no one wanted to hear such words.
Xu Miaojin was glad that Zhu Song had no thoughts about her. In this way, there was one less difficulty. All she had to do was find a way to deal with her sister.
"I understand what His Highness King Han means. I wonder if His Highness Han King has any good ideas? I am all ears!"
"Simple!" Zhu Song said with a hearty smile: "As long as the girl becomes a nun, escapes into Buddhism from now on, does not care about the worldly affairs, does not care about glory and wealth, finds a nunnery, becomes a nun, and our marriage will be natural.
Solved."
"And after all, the girl is a relative of the emperor. Whichever nunnery the girl goes to, I'm afraid the name of the nunnery will have to be changed. Well... Huanggu Temple should be good, just this name. If you become a nun, I will ask the emperor for an order.
Changing the name of the nunnery would be the best of both worlds!"
Xu Miaojin's eyes widened, she looked at Zhu Song in disbelief, and asked.
"Why can't you become a monk if I become a nun? If you become a monk, I will ask my sister to change the Monk Temple into the Huangshu Temple! In my opinion, it is better to choose the day than to hit it. You will be here today
Just forget about becoming a monk at Songqing Temple, there is no need to go back with you!"
"How can that be done?" Zhu Song said shamelessly: "I have a family and children, so if I just go to the Monk Temple to become a monk regardless of my wife and children, wouldn't it be too irresponsible! The girl is different,
The girl emerges from the mud but is not stained, and washes the water without being evil. When I first saw the girl, I felt that she looked like a Buddha!"
"you!"
