Chapter 94 Buddha, please protect your little fox (6)
Perhaps it was the miserable experience after he was lost that made Chaoyang develop such an arrogant and domineering personality. If he set his eyes on something, he would do anything to get it.
For this reason, the people of Daliang had a bad impression of her and often talked about her behind her back, feeling both disgusted and afraid of her.
As the sedan chair stopped, the eunuch who had escorted Jingchen to Putuo Temple yesterday came forward and respectfully lifted the curtain, his voice very thin.
"We have arrived at Putuo Temple. Princess, please get out of the sedan chair."
A light "hmm" sound came from the sedan chair, and then a white hand slowly stretched out.
Her wrists were slender, and she wore two jade bracelets that jingled.
Jingchen looked at the person who came, his slightly pale lips slightly pursed, with no expression, but a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes.
Princess Chaoyang lacks the elegance and grace of the royal family members, but is overly lively.
She stepped out of the sedan chair nimbly, wearing a bright red dress and with delicate makeup on her face, she looked bright and beautiful.
As soon as she got out of the sedan chair, her eyes were immediately glued to Jingchen above her.
Chaoyang sneered, his voice was perverse
"Who allowed you to confer the title on him privately? Putuo Temple is so bold!"
The abbot's face darkened and he did not answer.
In the audience, the people heard Chaoyang's domineering voice and all leaned over to whisper.
What's Princess Chaoyang up to? The Buddha's disciple is recuperating in Putuo Temple, a decree personally issued by His Majesty. The bestowal of this title is a confirmation of his status as a Buddha's disciple. Is she crazy?
[Shh, keep your voice down. If her maids find out, they'll give you a slap.]
Princess Chaoyang is a noble woman, but she can't come to Putuo Temple and cause trouble, right? Putuo Temple is an old temple left behind by the previous dynasty, blessed by gods and Buddhas, yet she dares to make such a grand display.
Yes, Putuo Temple has always been efficacious, and pilgrims who come to worship dare not speak loudly for fear of disturbing the gods and Buddhas.
But Princess Chaoyang's arrival was so grand that it inevitably caused gossip.
Chaoyang didn't care at all, his face still showed undisguised anger and
"This princess wants to see who dares to confer a title on Jingchen while I am here!"
Quiet Dust...
She actually dared to call the Buddhist disciple by his name.
There was a commotion among the pilgrims, but no one dared to say a word. They just looked at Chaoyang indignantly.
The abbot, holding Buddhist beads, slowly walked down the platform, came in front of Chaoyang, and said "Amitabha".
"Princess Chaoyang, the temple is currently holding a conferring ceremony. If you wish to pay your respects and burn incense, please rest in the meditation room. I will be there shortly after the ceremony."
Chaoyang stared at him coldly, with a fierce look on his face.
"Rest? Are you trying to get this princess to leave?"
The abbot bowed, but his face showed no fear. "I dare not."
"I think you're very brave. This princess is making this statement. Either stop this investiture ceremony immediately, or I'll ask my father to raze this Putuo Temple!"
The father-in-law, who was originally very proud, had a look of panic in his eyes. He came to Chaoyang respectfully and said in a low voice:
"Princess, you can't say that."
Even if you are the emperor, if you want to raze Putuo Temple, you need a reason to convince the people and you must not speak casually.
Chaoyang knew that his words were harsh, but he didn't want to lose face, so he just snorted coldly and turned his gaze to Jingchen.
"Do you really want to spend your whole life in Putuo Temple? As long as you ask, this princess will plead with my father and will not let..."
Jingchen didn't even give her a glance and interrupted her coldly.
"Princess, this is not the palace. Please respect yourself."
Chaoyang sneered as if he had heard a huge joke.
"Self-respect? Who are you to expect me to respect myself? Don't think that just because people call you a Buddhist child, you are superior to others! I tell you, all your honors are given by my father. With just one word from me, you will lose everything!"
Chaoyang was still rational enough to lower her voice, and only Jingchen and the abbot heard her disrespectful words.
No matter how good the abbot's temper was, the coldness on his face was still hard to conceal.
"Princess, if you are here to burn incense, then I welcome you very much. But if you have other purposes, I'm sorry I can't accompany you."
At this time, the father-in-law came forward and pulled Chaoyang's sleeve
"Princess, don't forget the purpose of this trip."
Chaoyang was so angry that he clenched his back teeth and turned his head to look at Jingchen.
Seeing that the latter ignored her at all, Chaoyang pinched the soft flesh in his palm tightly and led a group of people into Putuo Temple.
When she entered, the abbot breathed a sigh of relief and raised his voice and said
"The ceremony continues!"
*
In the Zen room, the little fox was awakened by the smell of food.
She sneaked into the dining hall with her bowl in her mouth and found that today's breakfast was white porridge and vegetarian steamed buns.
"Eh? Why are you here again, little fox? Are you staying in our temple?"
The little fox did not answer the monk's words, but just stared at the vegetarian bun in his hand without blinking.
The monk smiled, took the bowl from her mouth, poured some porridge into it, and threw her a steamed bun.
"Eat it farther away so the pilgrims don't see you."
The little fox nodded ignorantly and ran away with the bowl of food in its mouth.
Chen Yuan ran straight to the remote backyard of the Zen room, put down the bowl, and tasted the food in small sips.
Suddenly, a sharp and arrogant female voice came from the corner, and it was getting closer and closer.
"I'm so angry! This princess condescended to come to Putuo Temple to find him, but he ignored me!"
