"Master, if you are not feeling well, why not give lectures to the Queen Mother on another day?" Zhu Sichang, the consul eunuch of Yinian Hall, could not help but advise, but do not give the Queen Mother a lesson after you are sick.
Zen Master Huiguan put his hands together and said in a gentle voice: "It doesn't matter, the poor monk is fine. Maybe it's because... the flowers in the Queen Mother's Palace are blooming profusely and there is too much pollen."
Zhu Sichang suddenly realized that although people in this era did not know what pollen allergies were, people who had lived a long time were well-informed, so Zhu Sichang also knew that some people have precious noses, so he hurriedly said: "Master, please come in."
Zen Master Huiguan was not in a hurry to enter the palace, but asked: "Today, the Queen Mother is the only one?"
Zhu Sichang nodded: "Concubine De is cultivating herself behind closed doors. Concubine Xian has to take care of palace affairs and is not here today."
Zen Master Huiguan breathed a sigh of relief and then entered the hall with confidence.
However, this master was relieved too early.
In the Changyi Hall, Xin Ruozhi's smile became more and more radiant, "Let me tell you the truth, this Master Huiguan not only has profound Buddhist teachings and boundless power, but also has a good appearance, which can be called a Zhilan Yushu!"
Wen Xiaotu originally had no interest in meeting a dead liar, but Xin Ruozhi's words were so attractive! Although he was a liar, he was a super handsome liar!
Wen Xiaotu coughed, "Why don't you call Lu Chongyi?"
Xin Ruozhi spread her hands helplessly: "Lu Hengzhi has always been timid and afraid of other people's remarks, so she refused to go no matter what!"
Wen Xiaotu secretly thought, how handsome is this liar to make the concubine so afraid of rumors?! Wen Xiaotu instantly became more curious!
She coughed lightly and said, "Those who are pure will themselves be pure. What's more, he is an eminent Buddhist monk. Since the emperor specially invited him to the palace to give lectures, what should we avoid?"
Xin Ruozhi agreed very much: "Isn't it right? Let's go out in an open and honest manner in this clear sky and daylight!" - to see the handsome eminent monk!
Now that she is a member of the royal family, Xin Ruozhi naturally understands that even if she lives like a widow, she must continue to be a widow! It's not that she has any inappropriate thoughts, to say the least, even if she has wrong thoughts,
He was the abbot of Taiming Temple, a great monk! Xin Ruozhi would never dare to tarnish Buddhism! She just went to appreciate it!
How exciting it is to find a partner who is also appreciative!
Xin Ruozhi took Wen Xiaotu's hand on the spot and ran to the Yi Nian Palace happily like her own sister!
In the Yi Nian Hall, a furnace of fine Canaanite incense was burning.
Huiguan has already started today's lecture: "Last time, the poor monk explained the fourth chapter of the Lotus Sutra to the Queen Mother, and today I will continue from the fifth chapter on the metaphor of herbs."
Queen Mother Rong was dressed in plain clothes, with only a bun on her head, holding a string of agarwood Buddhist beads in her hand, with a solemn look on her face, "Then there is Master Lao."
Huiguan joined his hands in a salute, opened the Lotus Sutra, and recited: "At that time, the World-Honored One told Maha Kassapa and all the great disciples: "How good! How good! Kassapa, you are good at explaining the true merits and virtues of the Tathagata..."
Hui Guan had just finished reciting the first paragraph of the Buddhist sutra, and before he started to explain the meaning, Grandma Bai Tan opened the curtain and came in, curtsied and said, "Empress, Concubine Xian and Wen Zhaoyi are here."
Zen Master Huiguan's eyebrows, which were dyed like ink, couldn't help but twitch slightly.
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Xin has always been pious." After a pause, the Queen Mother seemed to be even more happy: "Zhaoyi is here too?"
Aunt Baitan said "yes".
"Let them in quickly!" the Queen Mother said with a smile.
Zen Master Huiguan sighed imperceptibly.
After a while, Wen Xiaotu and Xin Ruozhi were led into the hall by the eldest nanny, and they both knelt down and saluted.
Xin Ruozhi smiled sweetly and said: "I heard that Master Huiguan came to the palace to give lectures to the Queen Mother, and thought that Sister Wen was pregnant, so she went to Changyi Palace to invite Sister Wen to come with her." - Something good happened,
Naturally, I have to call my sisters.
The Queen Mother smiled kindly and said, "The worthy concubine has a heart. Wen Zhaoyi has been blessed by the Buddha and is pregnant with a dragon fetus. She should listen more to the wonderful meanings of Buddhism."
Wen Xiaotu's mouth twitched, she was really not interested in Buddhism.
The Queen Mother introduced him with a smile: "This is Zen Master Huiguan from Taiming Temple. Despite his young age, he is really proficient in Buddhism. He is a rare eminent monk."
Wen Xiaotu couldn't help but look at the monk wearing cassocks. When he saw it, he couldn't help but exclaimed: What a handsome monk!
I saw that man standing tall, with his hands as white as jade clasped together, he bowed slightly, and recited "Amitabha". His voice was as gentle as the drizzle in spring. Looking at his face again, his dark eyebrows were like knives and a pair of stars.
With sparkling eyes that seemed full of compassion, a tall nose, and picturesque red lips, such a stunningly beautiful man actually became a monk! What a waste of natural resources!
Wen Xiaotu just wanted to beat his chest and stamp his feet!
"Sit down and listen to the scriptures with the Aijia." The Queen Mother smiled kindly.
Wen Xiaotu had no choice but to sit on a chair nearby with Xin Ruozhi, listening to this stunningly beautiful monk preaching.
I can’t say I don’t understand the content at all, I can only say it’s like listening to a book from heaven.
However, this master's voice is really nice and gentle. It doesn't sound like he is reciting sutras, but like he is speaking his heart out to his lover, which makes people's ears tingle.
Xin Ruozhi is really loyal! Such a good thing is so pleasing to the eyes and ears, so I called her immediately!
Wen Xiaotu showed her a grateful smile.
Xin Ruozhi immediately smiled back.
it is more than words.
At this moment, in the Qianyuan Hall, the emperor who was criticizing Zhuozi suddenly said: "By the way, after Huiguan is the mother, she has finished her lecture, so I will ask him to come and see me."
"Yes!" Liang Kunyu responded quickly.
Ming Zhao asked lightly again: "Isn't Mrs. Xin gone again?" - Mrs. Xin was vulgar. She didn't go to listen to Buddhist scriptures. She clearly went to Huiguan's face. However, Ming Zhao thought about her and did not move.
The only thing I shouldn't think about is just looking at it, and I don't bother to care about such trivial matters.
Liang Kunyu smiled and nodded: "Yes, Concubine Xian also went to Changyi Palace to call Wen Zhaoyi along with her."
Mingzhao's face suddenly looked unnatural. Doesn't Atu not like listening to sutras?
Suddenly, Mingzhao thought of Huiguan's face - apart from his identity as a monk, just looking at his face, there was no doubt that Huiguan was a pretty boy!
And Atu seems to like the pretty girl the most!
The next second, Ming Zhao suddenly stood up and coldly ordered: "Show the Yinnian Palace."
The atmosphere in the Yi Nian Palace was even harmonious.
After speaking on the scriptures for half an hour, the Queen Mother asked for tea. The fragrant fragrance of jasmine tea filled the air everywhere. Wen Xiaotu took a sip of tea, ate a bite of snacks, and then looked at Master Huiguan of the Zhilan Yushu. She was in a good mood.
.
The Queen Mother smiled and asked: "Do you two understand?"
Xin Ruozhi immediately said: "I understand, I understand, the master's words are very good!"
Wen Xiaotu said weakly: "Concubine... I'm stupid, I basically... don't understand." - She didn't dare to pretend to understand. If the Queen Mother, the head teacher, wanted to ask questions, wouldn't it be revealed?
Queen Mother:...Why is this child so honest!
The Queen Mother coughed slightly and said, "Don't rush, take your time and taste it carefully."
At this time, the eunuch Zhu Sichang ran in quickly and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor is here!"
For a moment, Wen Xiaotu and Xin Ruozhi both had subtle expressions on their faces.
