Chapter 1240: Why is there always someone competing with him for his sister?
Although Princess Ning didn't know why Prince Ning shook his head, she never questioned his decision.
Then, she smiled and said to her son: "Even if mother doesn't accept Fu Ya as her goddaughter, you must treat her like a younger sister and don't let anyone bully her!"
When the Prince of Ning heard this, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
However, he has always been filial and sensible, so he still said, "I understand, mother."
After saying that, he looked at Tang Bao and said, "Then I will call you Sister Fu Ya from now on, okay?"
Tang Bao naturally agreed.
Xuanyuan Jin originally frowned when he heard the proposal of the Prince of Ning's Mansion, but he relaxed his brows after hearing the words of the Princess of Ning.
Now, after hearing what the Prince of Ning's Mansion said, he frowned again.
At the same time, I felt a little uncomfortable.
Why is there always someone who wants to snatch his sister from him!?
Tang Bao was in the limelight in Prince Ning's Mansion, but Prince Xiao of Northern Qi did not stop and rode out of the capital directly to Tianlong Temple.
Prince Xiao looked at the layers of white marble steps in front of him and dismounted.
The followers following behind him also dismounted.
A group of people looked at the towering gate of Tianlong Temple in the distance with puzzled expressions.
Could it be that our prince was upset and came here to make a wish and worship Buddha?
"Your Highness, what are we doing here?" Huck couldn't help but ask.
"Take back what you should take back!" Prince Xiao said coldly.
After saying this, he threw the reins to his follower and strode up the stairs.
Several followers hurriedly followed.
"Your Highness, the Third Prince of Dayan and Princess Fude have gone too far. I think we should leave Dayan immediately, lead our troops to attack Dayan, and go straight to the capital." An attendant said angrily.
"Your Highness, if you want that little girl from the Su family, let's just lead our troops to destroy Dayan. Not to mention a little girl, even the women of Dayan are all yours to choose from."
"Your Highness, Dayan has no intention of forming an alliance with Northern Qi. There is no point in us staying here. We should return immediately..."
"Your Highness, I also think that we should return to Northern Qi immediately. If we are late, I'm afraid something unexpected will happen..."
Several followers gave advice as they walked.
Prince Xiao had a sullen face, full of murderous intent, and his teeth were grinding.
He never expected that he would be fooled by a young boy!
He couldn't swallow this insult no matter what!
"Of course we have to go back, but our things cannot be taken away by Dayan!" Prince Xiao said through gritted teeth, his pace becoming faster.
In Tianlong Temple, Yu Zhilan looked at the old bowl in Master Zhiren's hand, the tattered robes on his body, and the worn straw sandals on his feet, and the corners of her mouth twitched.
"Master, if you want to leave, you should wait until the substitution is completed. What if someone finds out your true identity and you can't make the replacement? In that case, wouldn't your trip be in vain?" Yu Zhilan said.
Master Zhiren loosened the string of his torn bamboo hat and said wisely, "Even if its authenticity is revealed, the Emperor and the Third Prince will not allow that Northern Qi prince to take the authentic Ten Thousand Buddhas Picture. The Ten Thousand Buddhas Picture's return to Tianlong Temple is a manifestation of karma. Once it enters Tianlong Temple, it will never leave."
Yu Zhilan: "...You seem to understand."
After saying this, he asked in confusion, "If you know this, why do you still have inner demons?"
"If you were greedy at the beginning, what does the result have to do with it?" Master Zhiren shook his head and said.
As soon as he saw the Picture of Ten Thousand Buddhas, he became covetous of it.
In this way, you have violated the precepts and should punish yourself.
Yu Zhilan was somewhat speechless and said, "What do you mean by 'at first'? Who wouldn't be moved when seeing a treasure lost for a thousand years placed before their eyes? You didn't intend to keep it for yourself, so why blame yourself so much?"
"I originally thought you were open-minded. I wouldn't have been surprised even if you drank and ate meat that day. But I didn't expect such a thing to make you go crazy."
"If I had known this, I wouldn't have told you about this. You're not helping me in any way anyway. It doesn't matter whether you're here or not."
Yu Zhilan finished her speech with a look of disgust.
Master Zhiren's expression remained unchanged. Just as he was about to speak, he heard hurried footsteps in the distance.
"Abbot, Prince Xiao of Northern Qi is here to ask for the Ten Thousand Buddhas Picture..." A little novice monk ran over hurriedly and said anxiously.
Behind the young novice monk, there were monks who had heard the news and were walking quickly towards Master Zhiren in groups of three or four.
"Abbot, this Ten Thousand Buddhas painting was clearly painted by my master from Tianlong Temple. What right do the Northern Qi have to ask for it?" A burly monk rushed over and said angrily, "Abbot, in my opinion, we should just drive that Prince Xiao from Northern Qi away!"
"Abbot, what Senior Brother Wujie said is true. This Ten Thousand Buddhas Picture originally belonged to our Tianlong Temple. Now that we have returned it, we must return it to its original owner. We must not give it away..."
"Abbot..."
A group of monks who had rushed over spoke up one after another.
Master Zhiren's calm expression changed, and a rare look of anger appeared on his face.
"Shut up! Such talk is no different from that of thieves and bandits!" Master Zhiren said, "The Ten Thousand Buddhas Picture has been lost for many years and cannot be traced. Now that it has fallen into the hands of Prince Xiao of Northern Qi, if he is unwilling to give it to Tianlong Temple, how can we force him to do so?"
Master Zhiren said this while smiling bitterly in his heart.
What a slap in the face!
What he did was even worse than what these monks said.
After all, these monks did not know about the incident of Li Dai Tao Jiang.
After hearing what Master Zhiren said, a group of monks some looked ashamed, while others felt dissatisfied.
However, no one dared to speak anymore.
Master Zhiren's prestige in Tianlong Temple is absolutely unmatched.
The Empress Dowager had not yet left Tianlong Temple, but she rushed over after receiving the news.
"Master, since they have come to ask for it, just return it to them." said the Queen Mother.
Anyway, it's just a fake copy.
Although, she was reluctant to give away this fake.
Master Zhiren nodded and went to get the Ten Thousand Buddhas Picture himself.
Since the Ten Thousand Buddhas Picture was borrowed by the Empress Dowager, it was natural for her to return it.
So, the Empress Dowager waited for Master Zhiren to bring the Ten Thousand Buddhas Picture, and then went to the front hall with Master Zhiren.
When King Xiao saw the Queen Mother coming, he bowed and saluted without showing any arrogance.
But when he speaks, he is very direct.
"I, Xiao, have come to take the Ten Thousand Buddhas Painting. Please, Her Majesty, return it to its rightful owner." Prince Xiao said.
The Empress Dowager nodded and signaled to Nanny Chen to take the Ten Thousand Buddhas Picture from Master Zhiren.
"Thank you, Prince Xiao, for lending me the Ten Thousand Buddhas Painting to be enshrined in Tianlong Temple. Now that Prince Xiao has come to take it, I will naturally return it."
After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, she signaled Nanny Chen to give the Ten Thousand Buddhas Painting to Prince Xiao.
When Prince Xiao saw this, his heart sank.
He actually returned it to him so readily, there must be something wrong!
