It was already evening when we arrived at Huguo Temple. The abbot and abbot heard that King Chu was coming and came out to greet him personally.
"Your Highness, I missed you very much after we said goodbye three years ago. How are you, Your Highness?"
The abbot is a kind-hearted old monk with no pretensions at all, especially the gentle smile on his face, which can make people relieve themselves of all the worries of the world in an instant.
"Abbott, I'm thinking of you. Everything is well with Xiao Wang." After clasping his hands in greeting, he pulled Yuan Qingling to him and introduced him, "Abbott, this is Xiao Wang's wife, Yuan Qingling."
Yuan Qingling clasped his hands together and said, "I have met Master Abbot."
The abbot looked at Yuan Qingling with a smile, his eyes were focused, and he even looked at her, and said: "Hello, Princess!"
The abbot invited the two of them into the meditation room, while Ah Si and Xu Yi were waiting outside.
After entering the Zen room, the abbot ordered the novice monk to serve tea, and then asked: "Your Highness and the princess are here to visit His Highness Prince Ji? His Highness Prince Ji is having evening classes, so I'm afraid he won't be able to come to see you."
The emperor had decreed that King Ji was not allowed to meet anyone from the outside world at Huguo Temple, so the abbot was tactful and knew how to protect King Ji's face.
Yu Wenhao said bluntly, "No, Abbot, don't get me wrong, Xiao Wang is not here to visit him, he has something to see the Abbot."
The abbot smiled and said, "Your Highness, please speak out if you have anything to say."
Yu Wenhao held Yuan Qingling's hand, looked at the abbot and said: "Abbott, the little king suspects that the princess is haunted by evil spirits. Please ask the abbot, with his eyes like a torch, to take a good look at the princess for the little king."
The abbot was startled and turned to look at Yuan Qingling.
After looking at her for ten seconds, she slowly moved away and said with a smile: "Although the princess is uneasy, she is not haunted by evil spirits. The prince is suspicious."
"No?" Yu Wenhao breathed a sigh of relief, but when he remembered the medicine box, he said to Yuan Qingling: "Take out the medicine box and show it to the abbot."
Yuan Qingling was startled for a moment. He had never said that he wanted the abbot to see the medicine box.
How can you show this to others casually? Can you trust this abbot? He is not so reckless.
"Take it!" Yu Wenhao looked back at her.
Yuan Qingling stared at him, "I didn't bring it."
"No? You carry it in your sleeve pocket. Why don't you bring it?" Yu Wenhao said, holding her hand over and rummaging through her sleeve pocket.
Yuan Qingling patted his hand, "I'll take it myself, you let it go."
Yu Wenhao let go and watched her take out the medicine box and put it on the table. The medicine box was the size of a matchbox. Yu Wenhao watched intently, waiting for the medicine box to become bigger.
The medicine box didn't move at all, showing no signs of changing in response to the wind.
Yu Wenhao was stunned for a moment, "Huh? Why hasn't it grown bigger?"
He looked at Yuan Qingling. Yuan Qingling was also confused. Although she hoped that the medicine box would not become bigger, she knew that the medicine box was not under her control. She could not decide whether the medicine box would become bigger.
The abbot smiled and said, "This box is quite exquisite."
Yu Wenhao said: "No, master, this box originally became larger and smaller. It can hold a lot of things in it."
"Yeah, but it hasn't changed now." The abbot looked at Yu Wenhao with loving eyes, so loving that he looked like he was looking at a fool.
Yu Wenhao looked at Yuan Qingling, and Yuan Qingling spread her hands.
"How could this happen?" Yu Wenhao felt even more strange.
He looked at Yuan Qingling and then at the abbot, feeling helpless that he could not express the strange emotions in his heart.
The abbot smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to have a few words with the princess alone."
