Zhu Yunwen sat quietly, with an elegant face.

"Going back to Beijing? That's fine. I miss my two younger brothers a little. I wonder if they have grown taller or how their studies are going."

"If possible, I would like to go to my mother's mausoleum to pay my respects. A few days before I became a father, I always dreamed of her!"

After Lu's death, he was deprived of the crown princess. Zhu Yunwen could no longer call him mother in this life, but had to call him his biological mother.

Speaking of this, Zhu Yunwen sighed slightly, "I still want to walk around the streets of the capital. I grew up in the palace, but I have never seen the capital of the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Yunxi was a little surprised by this. He turned to look at Zhu Yunwen and said, "Is this what you want to do when you return to Beijing?"

"That's all!" Zhu Yunwen smiled again, "Between all kings, I am a useless person. I am not the king of the country guarding the border. I have no soldiers and no power. I don't like pleasure or luxury. The world's major events are like this to me.

Floating clouds, I just want to let nature take its course and live a stable life!"

"Hey!" Zhu Yunxi sighed and said with a wry smile, "But, I'm afraid that may not be the case. Nine times out of ten things in the world are unsatisfactory. The more you want to ask for something, the less you can get it. The more you hate something, the more

I don’t want to be like that, but the more I do, the more likely I am to be like that.”

At this point, Zhu Yunxi's smile grew stronger, "It's like I heard someone say, when we grow up, we all live the way we hate the most!"

Zhu Yunwen thought for a moment, "You will do this if you ask for something. If you ask for nothing, you will be indifferent!"

"Haha!" Zhu Yunxi laughed loudly, "Why do you sound like a monk when you talk now?"

Remember the URL m.wxsy.

"I study some Buddhist Dharma on weekdays, cultivate my body and nature, and seek peace of mind!"

"Does Buddhism still have such wonderful effects?"

"Your Highness, you don't believe it?" Zhu Yun smiled and said, "I know an old monk who practices the path of tranquility and distance. The temple where he lives is somewhat quiet. If Your Highness is free, I will accompany you to sit in the temple and have a taste of last year's rain.

New tea later!”

Zhu Yunxi looked at him for a long time and said, "Okay! Why don't we go now? After driving all the way, Gu is really tired and wants to find a quiet place to stay. Besides, these days, I don't know why Gu Xin has a violent temper that can't be resolved! Maybe!

, the quiet place you mentioned, the enlightened person you mentioned can resolve one or two!"

As he finished speaking, there was suddenly no wind and rain falling outside the car window. Under the bright afternoon sun, the clear trickle of raindrops fell on the stone slabs, outlining shallow traces.

Falling rain means spring, freehand and intoxicating. Willows rise with the wind, and noon seems like dusk.

The emperor's grandson came in person. The huge city of Huai'an was under martial law and the city was silent. To the surprise of Huai'an officials, the emperor's grandson did not go directly to the palace. Instead, he bypassed the Huai Prince's Mansion and went straight to the nearby temple.

Upon hearing that the emperor's grandson had arrived, several monks from the temple, led by Dao Jing, had already rushed out and prostrated respectfully outside the mountain gate.

"Young monk, wait, let me meet His Royal Highness the Grandson of the Emperor. Your Highness is a thousand years old!"

Zhu Yunxi was in front and Zhu Yunwen was behind, slowly stepping out of the carriage.

Looking at the bald man kneeling on the ground in front of him, Zhu Yunxi turned around and said with a smile, "Is this the person you call the enlightened person? He kneels very neatly!"

Before Zhu Yunwen could speak, Dao Jing, who was stopped outside the guard, said, "Old monk, in the world of mortals, should abide by secular laws. Your Highness is the king, and the old monk is the people. The people kowtow to the king, and it is the law of the law. Only by observing the etiquette and laws can one achieve the great road!"

"He is a sensible person!" Zhu Yunxi laughed.

The Qingyou Ancient Temple immediately became noisy. Hundreds of elite guards rushed in and searched the ground. They even searched every monk. After repeated confirmation, they reported it to the grandson of the Ming Emperor.

Zhu Yunxi walked in with dozens of soldiers at his side. The temple and the low-rise buildings were hidden in the high forest, as if they were integrated, but had a unique charm. There were moss and wild flowers everywhere at the foot of the forest, creating a natural beauty.

Take a deep breath of the slightly cool air, and feel indescribably comfortable in your chest and abdomen. Walking here can indeed make people feel peaceful and relax their brows.

"What a pity!" Zhu Yunxi said as he walked.

Beside him, Zhu Yunwen asked, "Why did Your Highness say this?"

"Such a wonderful place is like a paradise. We, the guests, are wearing strong swords and wearing swords, which will ruin the scenery!" He said, touching the handle of Fu Rang's knife next to him, "You murderous knife should not be here!"

Dao Jing was allowed to accompany him as an exception, standing half a step behind Zhu Yunwen, his hands hidden in the monk's clothes and unable to suppress the trembling.

"Your Highness, although this temple is small, it was built in the prosperous Tang Dynasty! The temple buildings have not changed at all for hundreds of years. During the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism flourished, and there were many temples in the east and west capitals...

.”

"But after all, it did not protect the peace and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. The tombs of several emperors who believed in Buddhism were demolished!" Zhu Yunxi interrupted the other party rudely and pointed to the front, where there was a trickling spring in the forest, "Is that a mountain spring?

"

Dao Jing smiled and said, "That is a spontaneous well. Since the Tang Dynasty, clear water from the well will emerge every spring. The water is sweet and is the best for making tea...

..."

Zhu Yunxi suddenly stopped and looked at Dao Jing, "You are said to be an eminent monk who can achieve peace and tranquility. Why do you have to say yes every time you mention something?"

Dao Jing was suddenly embarrassed and forced a few laughs, "Your Highness, that's really good!"

"Since it's good, and since you are Buddhist practitioners, why do you want to take advantage of it? This beautiful scenery can only be used to build an academy and provide tourists with entertainment." Zhu Yunxi sneered, "But still

You have greed in your hearts!"

"This..." Dao Jing was speechless on the spot.

He glanced at King Huai repeatedly, but the latter always smiled, as if he didn't notice his gaze.

"If you have a Taoist heart, you will practice Taoism wherever you are. If you don't have a Taoist heart, you will insult the famous mountains and rivers and get the smell of copper. What is worse than the smell of copper is hypocrisy!" Zhu Yunxi continued to move forward, speaking rudely.

Vitriolic.

"As my junior brother said, this grandson of the emperor has no sight of any monks in the world. If he really ascends the throne, monks like us will no longer have a chance to survive!" Dao Jing smiled on his face, but sneered in his heart, "How can such a tyrannical person?

Worthy of all the people in the world?"

The temple is built against the mountain. Halfway up the mountain, the mountain road suddenly becomes narrower and steeper.

"Your Highness is tired, please rest here for a while!" Zhu Yunwen chuckled.

Zhu Yunxi nodded, "Okay!" After saying that, he sat down on a stone bench and said, "I'm a little thirsty. Let's make some tea!"

Hearing this, Dao Jing was very happy and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, please wait a moment. The old monk asked his disciple to get you some water!"

"No need, I'll take it with me alone!"

After Zhu Yunxi finished speaking, Wang Shai had already ordered the palace people to take out a simple clay stove and set it aside. At the same time, he took out two exquisite silver pots filled with water and prepared to boil water.

Dao Jing suddenly felt annoyed and thought to himself, "Junior brother made a mistake. He is the prince of the Ming Dynasty. The palace attendants who accompanied him brought all the things he needed to eat, drink, and have a bowel movement. How could he drink the water outside?"

Just when he thought that everything was hopeless, Zhu Yunxi suddenly waved to the eunuch, opened the silver pot at his hand, and sniffed the water inside.

"This water seems a little muddy!" Zhu Yunxi frowned and said, "It smells of filth!"

"Although the silver pot is good, it is trapped in water. The water from the ancient well in this temple is living water!" Dao calmed down and said quickly, "The clothes and etiquette of the Ming Dynasty were inherited from the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Using living water to make tea is a legacy of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Your Highness...

....."

Suddenly, Dao Jing couldn't speak anymore. She saw Zhu Yunxi's eyes looking at him with a half-smile but not a smile. Next to him, Zhu Yunwen was playing with a silver pot, seemingly staying out of the incident.

"Okay!" Zhu Yunxi suddenly smiled, "Use your water! Let me try the flavor of the Tang Dynasty today!"

Dao Jing's back was soaked with cold sweat. She suppressed the nervousness in her heart and turned to the two handsome novice monks outside and said, "Go get some water for His Highness, please!"

The two young novices turned around and ran away, but as soon as they took a step, they were grabbed by the shoulders. Only two cold-faced guards were seen, looking at them coldly.

"Slow down, little master, I'll go with you later!"

The young novice monk looked at their master, and then nodded in horror.

In Shiting, Zhu Yunxi turned to Zhu Yunwen and asked, "I heard that you are in Huai'an and like to interact with people and scholars?"

"It's just arty, otherwise it wouldn't be boring!" Zhu Yunwen said casually, still playing with the silver pot in his hand.

"Since you like to socialize with people and scholars, why not build an academy. The princes of our Zhu family are all good at riding and holding swords. If you like to do things, building an academy is a good idea!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "The scenery here is very beautiful.

, antique and refreshing. Why don't I decree that this ancient temple be used as a separate courtyard for you. You bring people here every day, recite poems and write poems, that is truly elegant!"

"Haha! Thank you so much, Your Highness, for your love!" Zhu Yunwen said with a smile, "It's just that there is a master here, how can I steal love with a knife? As the saying goes, a melon that is twisted is not sweet!"

"You are dishonest. You agreed in your heart, but you said no!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "You also gave birth to a son. He is Gu's nephew. Gu has not rewarded him with anything, so this is Gu's gift.

Got it!"

"So, I thank you, Your Highness!" Zhu Yunwen sat and cupped his hands, looked at the surrounding scenery, and said, "Actually, if Your Highness is really willing to reward him, if I dare, how about letting him herd horses in the frontier in the future?" He said, shaking his head.

Shaking his head, "Although the scenery is beautiful, the sun is blocked by trees. There are thousands of miles of frontier there, and it's fun to gallop on horseback!"

"You are still tired of staying in Huai'an!" Zhu Yunxi looked at him and said with a smile.

The two of them were chatting and laughing, and it seemed that they had a very close relationship as brothers, without any courtesy from the monarch or his ministers. The people around them listened with their hands down, expressionless.

"Hmph! If you want this ancient temple, I'm afraid you won't be able to wait until that day!"

Dao Jingxin sneered. Two young novices behind him had already come out of the forest with a copper pot filled with water.
