In the car, Si Ningchi looked Zhao Zongheng up and down for a long time, took a deep breath and looked away.
In her impression, Zhao Zongheng was not a ostentatious person, and she had never seen him wearing such clothes before. She didn't know why he was so angry today. The news was so solemn. How come he didn't know that he valued visiting the temple so much before? "From now on, you should stay by my side." Zhao Zongheng was rarely serious, so Si Ningchi glanced at him and said, "Why is the emperor so serious?"
"The place we are going to is just a mountain temple, and it is on the outskirts of Beijing. Does it still need the emperor's personal protection?" Si Ningchi raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled.
"It's different." Zhao Zongheng looked like he was facing a formidable enemy, which made Si Ningchi confused.
The White Horse Temple is built on the mountain. It has been prosperous for many years and has been renovated in an extremely grand and solemn way.
As soon as Si Ningchi and his party arrived at the gate of the temple, they saw a group of monks in cassocks coming to greet them. Before Si Ningchi could step forward, Zhao Zongheng raised his hand to block him behind him, and then
Hear Zhao Zongheng say: "Wang Chengxiang."
"My servant is here." Wang Chengxiang hurriedly came forward.
"Go and send away all those monks and novices. No one except me is allowed to approach the queen."
"..."
Wang Chengxiang was stunned for a while, then raised his eyes and glanced at Zhao Zongheng, as if to confirm whether he heard correctly.
When you go to someone’s temple, do you want other monks to walk around you?
What is the truth...
Wang Chengxiang lowered his head and quickly followed the instructions. The monks in the White Horse Temple were also dumbfounded. They were looking forward to such a great opportunity for the emperor to come, and were preparing to show their hospitality and pray for the country and the emperor.
Where is the scripture?
As a result, let them disappear directly?
All the monks looked at each other, but they did not dare to disobey, so they had no choice but to obey the emperor's order and disperse.
The little novice monk's face was full of disappointment, and he was holding on to the new clothes he had just put on with great reluctance. They were not like the abbot and abbot who had seen the holy face. Such a hard-won opportunity was just gone...
"Let's prepare the meditation room and stay away from the main hall of Buddha statues." Zhao Zongheng stood with his hands behind his back and continued to give instructions.
"..."
"Your Majesty, this servant doesn't understand." Wang Chengxiang was really full of questions at this moment. He looked at Zhao Zongheng in confusion and said, "We are here at the White Horse Temple, right?"
Come to the temple, but stay away from the Buddha statues?
Huh?
What are you doing here...
Zhao Zongheng glanced at Wang Chengxiang coldly and said: "What do I do, do I still need to explain it to you?"
Wang Chengxiang hurriedly leaned over and knelt down: "I don't dare!"
He immediately shut up and hurriedly gave instructions.
The abbot of the temple was full of bitterness and did not dare to ask more questions. He could only quickly ask the monks to clean up the Zen room and clear away all the small Buddha statues and some Buddhist utensils in the room.
By the time Zhao Zongheng led Siningchi to the Zen room, the room no longer looked like a Zen room...
It seems to be an extremely bulky wing, located in the backyard of the mountain temple, far away from the hustle and bustle of the main hall, and you can't even hear the sound of the Buddha. The lush green garden makes it look like a small rural courtyard.
As soon as I walked in, I felt the slightest coolness, as if there was a draft blowing through.
Si Ning Chijing stood in the courtyard, seeming to clearly feel the tranquility at this moment. She was enjoying it with her eyes closed, but suddenly she was hugged from behind. The person holding her tightly seemed to be very nervous and said: "What's wrong?
