When she read the letter, her hands were trembling, "Liu'er, my Liu'er, why are you so stupid!"
The wise king was surprised to find something strange and asked hurriedly: "Madam, do you know where Liu'er has gone?"
Huang's eyes were deep red and she said sadly: "This silly child must have gone to a nunnery!"
"What? How could she go to a nunnery?" Xian Wang and Mo Yu both looked surprised. How could Liu'er go to such a place at such a young age?
Huang shed tears and said sadly: "Your Highness, you don't know something. Ever since Liu'er found out that you were married to Princess Nalan, she has changed. She has become depressed, worried, and can't even eat every day.
, I can’t sleep at night and live like a zombie.”
Hearing this, the wise king felt astringent in his heart and felt very uncomfortable.
Huang added: "Not long after, she suddenly started to believe in Buddhism and became very addicted to it. No matter how much we tried to persuade her, it was of no use."
"Liu'er believes in Buddhism? No wonder she often copies Buddhist scriptures when she is in the Prince's Mansion these days." The wise king suddenly realized.
Mrs. Huang nodded, "Yes, she locked herself in the room all day long and copied Buddhist scriptures there. Sometimes she would copy Buddhist scriptures for a whole day without going anywhere. One time she told me that she wanted to escape from home.
She became a Buddhist and ended her remaining life. So when I saw this letter, I knew that she must be going to a nunnery to become a monk."
"A monk?" King Xian said, his voice became very nervous, "No, Liu'er is still so young, how can she become a monk? Madam, do you know where she went to become a monk?"
Huang thought for a while and said: "There is only one nunnery nearby, called Lingzhao Temple. Liu'er has gone there several times to offer incense before. I guess Liu'er must have gone there!"
The Xian King immediately said: "Then let's go to Lingzhao Temple quickly and make sure to stop Liu'er."
"Okay." Huang nodded with tears in his eyes.
-
In the eastern suburbs of Shengjing City, there is a simple and elegant temple called Lingzhao Temple.
This is a nunnery that only accepts women.
At this time, in the lobby of the temple, Liu'er was kneeling on a futon, waiting for Master Yunzhao, the abbot of Lingzhao Temple, to ordain her.
Master Yunzhao held the shaving tool in her hand. She glanced at Liu'er and said, "Miss Liu'er, have you really made your decision? Do you really want to be ordained and become a monk?"
Liu'er nodded lightly, "Really, please ask Master to ordain this disciple!"
"Do your parents know about this? Do they agree?" Yunzhao didn't know who Liu'er's parents were.
Thinking of her mother, Liu'er's eyelashes trembled slightly.
She knew that she was sorry for her mother by doing this and would make her sad, but she had made up her mind and would never change.
She nodded and said firmly: "This is the disciple's own business. The disciple can make his own decision. Master, please don't worry."
"Master, I have made up my mind. Please give me the ordination!"
"Hey!" Yunzhao sighed, "Okay then! Since you insist on doing this, I will ordain you!"
With that said, she put the shaving blade on Liu'er's head and prepared to shave her head.
"Wait a minute!" Just when Yunzhao was about to take action, an anxious male voice suddenly came from the door of the hall.
Yunzhao's movements stopped instantly.
Liu'er also looked up in surprise and saw King Xian rushing in with a worried look on his face. Behind him were his mother Huang, Mo Yu and others.
She was shocked and said: "Your Highness, mother, why are you here?"
"Liu'er, why are you so stupid? Why do you want to become a monk?" As soon as the Xian Wang came over, he looked at Liu'er nervously.
Mrs. Huang even threw herself at Liu'er and hugged her tightly, "Liu'er, my silly child, why are you so obsessed with it? Why did you come here? Why did you abandon your mother?"
Liu'er frowned in discomfort, "Mom, I'm sorry, you have raised your daughter for so many years, but she cannot repay your kindness in raising her. Please forgive her for being unfilial."
After saying that, she glanced at the wise king and said: "My daughter has long seen through the world of mortals and is devoted to Buddhism. Please forgive me and let my daughter devote herself to practicing Buddhism in Lingzhao Temple."
"I don't allow it. You are still so young, haven't married yet, and haven't tasted life yet. How can you become a monk?" Mrs. Huang said, looking at Master Yunzhao, and said, "Master, Liu'er is still a monk.
Xiao, she is not sensible, please don’t ordain her or let her become a monk.”
Yunzhao hurriedly said: "Madam, may I ask who you are?"
Mother Sun came over hurriedly and said: "Master Tai, my master is the wife of the Prime Minister, and Liu'er is the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's mansion."
"What?" Yunzhao was stunned. She didn't expect that Liu'er turned out to be the prime minister's daughter.
If she had known Liu'er's identity earlier, she would never have agreed to her becoming a monk.
"Then who is this?" Yunzhao looked at King Xian. Liu'er's "Your Highness" just now told her that the identity of the man in front of her must be very unusual.
"This is His Royal Highness the current Crown Prince." Mother Sun said.
Yunzhao was shocked and quickly saluted the wise king, "It turns out that His Royal Highness the Prince has arrived, and the poor nun was not far away to welcome him."
The wise king waved his hand, "Master, there is no need to be polite. Liu'er is a good friend of mine. I don't want her to escape into Buddhism at a young age, so I came to see her."
Yun Zhao said: "Miss Liu'er is still young. In fact, the poor nun did not agree with her becoming a monk. But she insisted, so the poor nun had no choice but to ordain her."
As she said that, she looked at the two of them and said, "Your Highness, Madam, since you are here, please advise Miss Liu'er well, and let's stay away for a while."
"Master Tai, please." King Xian said.
"Please." After Yunzhao finished speaking, he retreated with the female disciples beside him.
At this time, Huang said: "Your Highness, Liu'er didn't listen to me no matter how I tried to persuade her before. Maybe she will listen to you. In this case, I'll go out first and you can help me persuade her to change her mind, okay?
?”
"Okay, I will try my best." King Xian said.
"Thank you." After Mrs. Huang said this, she retreated with Sun's mother.
After everyone retreated, King Xian looked at Liu'er nervously and asked with concern: "Liu'er, can you not stop being a monk? Can you come back with us?"
Liu'er said calmly: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, but Liu'er has already made up his mind, and I'm afraid I'm going to overturn His Highness's good intentions."
After saying that, she added: "I made a lot of troubles when I was in the Prince's Mansion, which caused discord between His Highness and the Crown Princess. I feel deeply guilty. I wonder if Your Highness and the Crown Princess can resolve their misunderstanding? Otherwise, I will really not feel at ease."
The wise king hurriedly said: "Liu'er, don't worry, I have figured out what happened last time. It turns out that the murderers were not the princess's people, but Geng Bingyan's people."
"Geng Bingyan?" Liu'er looked up in disbelief.
The wise king nodded, "Yes, Geng Bingyan has always hated the princess, and she is also very jealous of you. So this time, she came up with this plan to kill two birds with one stone, using the banner of the princess to bully you. Fortunately, she did not succeed."
