Chapter 62: Are you trying to cheat on the prince?
In the following days, Fu Yiduo always dressed neatly before staying with Cheng Nianying.
Seeing that they were getting closer to Kuizhou, the emperor made a decision: "Rest here for three days, and then enter Kuizhou."
"Neither you nor I know what the situation is in Kuizhou now. Someone must go and find out first." The emperor then pondered.
Fu Ruiming volunteered: "Please let me go."
They no longer called themselves "ministers" when outside.
The emperor's gaze fell on Cheng Nianying: "If Huai Yanshede..."
Fu Yi interjected: "Then let her go."
The prince looked doubtful, "Can she take on such a delicate task?"
The emperor pretended not to hear him and asked Cheng Nianying with a kind smile, "What do you think, Yurong?"
Cheng Nianying was just waiting for such an opportunity.
She nodded.
The emperor gave her a few more detailed instructions before letting her go.
As I walked into the street, many people looked at me sideways. After being impressed for a moment, they hurriedly moved away, not daring to look any longer.
Cheng Nianying had also changed into monk's robes at this time, and then tied up her long hair and hid it in her hat.
Because Your Majesty highly respects Buddhism, the custom of worshipping Buddha is very popular among the people, and even the government officials are particularly respectful to monks and dare not offend them in the slightest.
No wonder he has to dress up as a monk.
Cheng Nianying walked straight to the most prosperous restaurant in the area, and the copper hairpin in her sleeve slipped, revealing its pointed tip.
She held onto the pillar in front of the restaurant with one hand and walked forward on the stone steps.
The waiter at the door came forward as soon as he saw him, clasped his hands together and bowed, "Dear sir, are you here to beg for alms?"
Cheng Nianying stopped.
The communication symbol for the building was left on the pillar.
She looked at the waiter and said as the emperor had instructed, "Amitabha, I am on my master's orders to go to Kuizhou to spread Buddhism. I am passing through here to rest. I would like to ask, benefactor, whether it is possible to pay respect to monks in Kuizhou?"
The waiter didn't dare look at her, and said with his head bowed, "Of course, sir, please just move forward. Please wait a moment."
The waiter turned around and seemed to go get something.
Cheng Nianying was in no hurry and just stood there waiting. ...Hmm? Someone was watching her.
Has anyone discovered the mark she left so quickly?
This place is too far from Yujing, and in fact she doesn't have much confidence.
Cheng Nianying slowly turned her gaze and looked back to the source.
The person who saw her was on the second floor of the restaurant. The window there was only half open, which effectively concealed the face of the person inside.
Cheng Nianying was not in a hurry. She secretly memorized the location and then turned her head and lowered her gaze.
Inside half a window.
The man in moon-white brocade clothes clasped the window edge tightly with one hand, his neck veins bulged, and his expression was excited.
After a while, he uttered two words: "Beauty!"
The attendant's expression changed: "Please take a closer look, sir, that is a nun."
"That's a pretty little nun." The man withdrew his hand. "She's wearing plain clothes and a monk's hat, which makes her look quite charming."
The attendant was so frightened that he stammered, "Master, please think twice..."
The man didn't care: "Go check her certificate of ordination."
"You suspect she's pretending to be a nun? That's impossible."
Not everyone can wear this monk's robe.
If anyone dares to impersonate a Buddhist without authorization and fails to produce a certificate of ordination, he will be regarded as blaspheming Buddhism and will be beheaded. This is written into the Dahuan Law Record.
"Idiot." The man glanced at him. "Since monks rely on ordination certificates to confirm their identities, if you take it away and say she doesn't have it, then she doesn't have it. Do you understand?"
The attendant opened his mouth wide, then smiled eagerly, "Yes, yes, young master is still very resourceful!"
The master and servant were still discussing.
At this time, Cheng Nianying had already taken a wooden bowl from Xiaoer.
The bowl was filled with food wrapped in oil paper and copper coins.
It turns out that it is so easy to beg for alms as a monk.
Cheng Nianying blinked, and was no longer averse to the monk's robe.
I wonder if she can keep her certificate of ordination after she returns. If she leaves the Prince's Mansion and becomes a nun, won't she be able to live a good life?
It's much better than being a killer!
"I just met a person who has the fate to be converted." Cheng Nianying started a conversation at this time.
The waiter was stunned for a moment, then suppressed his surprise and asked, "Who is the person you are talking about..."
Cheng Nianying: "In your building."
The waiter swallowed his surprise, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I will show you the distinguished guest inside."
Cheng Nianying went up to the second floor and pointed to the closed door of the box: "The destined person is inside."
The waiter rubbed his head, looking embarrassed. "The person in this room... is... is a distinguished guest from Kuizhou. The distinguished guest wants to convert him, but he can't become a monk."
A distinguished guest from Kuizhou? That's just perfect.
Cheng Nianying pondered how to speak like a monk, then said, "You don't have to shave your head to inherit the Buddha's destiny."
The waiter breathed a sigh of relief and knocked on the door: "Mr. Li."
The door was forcefully opened, and the attendant's long face popped out first: "What? The master didn't ask you to serve him."
The follower's words were stuck in his throat at this point.
That beauty... came to me on her own initiative?
"Young Master!" The follower immediately turned around.
Mr. Li turned his head and almost immediately walked towards Cheng Nianying.
It's a fate sent by heaven, Master Li thought.
"I have a connection with you, young master." Cheng Nianying spoke with a wooden face.
Master Li also quickly responded: "I also think you are destined to be together."
The waiter felt something was wrong with their tone. It seemed that the two of them were not talking about the same thing...
Cheng Nianying paused, she didn't expect this person to be so proactive.
She continued, "Sir, are you willing to accept my Buddha's teachings?"
"I wish, I do." Young Master Li clasped his hands together, "My father always said that I have a connection with Buddha."
He paused. "I would like to invite you to my house and slowly teach you the Dharma. What do you think?"
Cheng Nianying didn't even blink and asked, "Where is the young master's residence?"
Master Li smiled contemptuously: "Kuizhou, the prefectural governor. How is it?"
Excellent, saves trouble.
Cheng Nianying nodded.
Master Li couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It was really a fate sent by heaven. Everything happened so naturally without him having to do anything.
"Then let's go. I can't wait to follow the Buddha and practice the boundless Buddhist teachings." said Master Li.
So urgent?
She planned to wait for the medicine here.
"No." Cheng Nianying said with a cold face.
Master Li's gaze lingered on her face, and he thought that the more aloof a nun looked, the more desirable she was.
"Why not?"
"The master is still waiting for me to return."
It's just to help the bald guys... Young Master Li didn't believe in Buddhism in his heart. His father had taught him early on that the current emperor was promoting this way of life only to centralize power and tame the people.
Those who truly hold power don’t have to believe this at all!
They only believe in themselves!
Young Master Li said politely, "It's a simple matter. I will go with you, tell them about this, and invite them to come to my house."
As long as it’s not from the National Temple.
How easy is it to control them?
Cheng Nianying responded: "Well, okay."
Master Li glanced at her and thought to himself, this little nun is quite adorable. Even when she pretends to be indifferent, she is still cute.
The three of them quickly left the restaurant with their own ulterior motives.
"The person is back." Fu Ruiming was waiting at the door and was the first to see it.
The people from the Palace Front Department followed and took a look, frowning: "Why did you bring someone back?"
Upon hearing the sound, the prince exclaimed "Oh" in surprise and went to see.
"How can we lead people back at will? I'm afraid we've messed up." The prince said first.
The emperor raised his eyelids and said, "Sit back."
Young Master Li walked in and said, "This inn... is really rather shabby. How could Master live in a place like this?"
Young Master Li turned around and bowed politely, "Masters, I am Li Jinjiang. I would like to learn the Dharma and invite you to come to my house to teach me. If you are not available, I would like to invite this female master to teach me."
“…”
For a moment, the surroundings were eerily quiet.
They couldn't help but look at Fu Yi.
This guy wants to cheat on Prince Danshuo, right?
