Xu Jinyi smiled and said, "Brother, you don't understand this."
"If I, a powerless princess, marry a capable and legitimate prince, my mother will only be wary and no longer love me."
"Do you really think that the Queen Mother likes me just because I'm pretty? No way."
"Since ancient times, which emperor was not suspicious? If I marry the son of a minister as my legitimate wife, I am afraid that my mother will dislike me."
"I don't care about that position anyway. I'll just marry the one I love."
Gu Chen couldn't let go of the obsession in his heart and was unwilling to return to secular life. He still knelt in front of the Buddha and recited Buddhist scriptures.
It was his turn to be on duty today. There were many people coming to the temple. He knelt on one side, chanting scriptures with his eyes closed and plucking Buddhist beads.
"I didn't expect you to know so much. If our horoscopes are compatible, I'll have my mother go to your house and propose marriage when we get home."
Hearing the familiar voice, Gu Chen opened his eyes and a hint of joy flashed through his heart.
However, when he saw the modest man beside him, he froze in place.
Looking at the two of them chatting and laughing, looking at each other, he felt as if his heart was being grabbed by a big hand, and it was twitching in pain.
He didn't notice that his eyes were red at all, and looked at Xu Jinyi as if he was a heartless man.
fraud!
fraud!
Gu Chen's nose felt sore as he watched the heartless woman pass by him, looking as if she didn't know him at all.
A few days ago, she said that she liked him and wanted to marry him. She also said that she would marry a true man in this life and would treat him very well.
fraud!!
Big liar!!!
Only a few days later, this woman had a new love and was even discussing marriage.
Of course Xu Jinyi noticed the monk's abnormality, but she pretended not to see it.
Let's see when he can face his heart and face his feelings calmly.
The brother and sister knelt before the Buddha and bowed sincerely. The scene was like a couple bowing to heaven and earth.
Gu Chen felt more and more upset when he saw this, and he couldn't help but snap his hands loudly, and the Buddhist beads in his hand fell to the ground.
A few more rolled down at Xu Jinyi's feet.
Xu Jinyi picked up the Buddhist beads and handed them over: "Little Master, these are your Buddhist beads."
Xu Jinyi's distant and cold look made Gu Chen feel bitter.
"Big brother, I want to ask for a marriage fortune to calculate our fate. Please wait for me for a moment."
After saying that, Xu Jinyi picked up the lottery box, closed his eyes and began to shake it.
Xu Jinyi opened his eyes and picked it up only after hearing the sound of the sign falling.
"Look, big brother, I drew a very good fortune. It seems we are destined to be together. Let's go and interpret the fortune."
After saying that, Xu Jinyi directly took her elder brother's hand and walked towards Gu Chen.
"Little Master, could you please help us interpret the fortune? Thank you."
Gu Chen didn't take it, but stared at their clasped hands, thinking about Xu Jinyi's "we".
Men understand each other better. The eldest prince knew from Gu Chen's expression that the monk was clearly attracted to his sister.
He deliberately raised his hand and brushed away the loose hair on Xu Jinyi's forehead.
Gu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a dangerous light.
"Young Master?"
Xu Jinyi waved the sign in front of Gu Chen.
"Is your foot feeling better? It doesn't have a fever after you went back, right?" Gu Chen asked with concern.
Xu Jinyi was stunned for a moment, then revealed an expression of sudden enlightenment: "So you are the great monk from that day? Sorry, I didn't recognize you at first."
"Thank you so much for that day. I'm fine now. Thank you for your concern."
"Let me introduce you to someone my mother has chosen for me. I'd also like you to interpret our fortune and calculate our horoscopes."
After a pause, Xu Jinyi continued, "It's best to set a good date for us, the sooner the better."
Every word was like a sharp knife piercing his chest, causing so much pain that Gu Chen could hardly hold the sign in his hand.
He forced a smile and found the corresponding fortune slip, then his expression turned serious: "Could you please tell me your horoscope?"
After the two finished talking about the eight characters, they saw Gu Chen shook his head: "This is a very good fortune, which means that a thousand miles of marriage are connected by a thread, and a beautiful marriage is destined by heaven."
"Donor, your marriage is naturally excellent. You will find a perfect partner, and you will be entangled with each other for generations to come."
Then Gu Chen's tone changed again: "It's just that your other half is not the young man next to you, but someone else."
Xu Jinyi frowned: "Little Master, you must have seen it wrong. Big Brother and I are well matched in terms of social status and appearance. We are simply a match made in heaven."
"Donor, monks don't tell lies. You are not suitable."
The eldest prince smiled and said, "Then, monk, where is her destined marriage? When will it appear?"
Gu Chen looked at Xu Jinyi steadily, his eyes burning, totally unlike the look of a pure and ascetic monk.
"I'll have to ask this donor about that. The fortune stick also mentioned that marriage requires persistence. Perhaps if the donor persists, marriage will come."
Xu Jinyi's expression turned playful: "Oh? Really?"
"What if insisting on doing so turns out to be a waste of time, and all the waiting is in vain? Wouldn't that just be a joke?"
"By then, if you miss the right marriage and your youth is gone, how tragic that would be."
"Big monk, you are not kidding me, are you?"
Just as Gu Chen was about to say something, the eldest prince said, "I believe sincerity can move anyone. If there is no fate, I will create it. I think I can be a good ruler for you, Jiaojiao."
Xu Jinyi nodded: "Yes, let's rent two meditation rooms together and live here. We can ask the Buddha to help us find a partner. We will definitely be able to impress the Buddha."
After saying that, the two of them stood up and walked towards the back door of the temple, as if they didn't notice Gu Chen's face turning ashen.
This temple is actually very large, and there are many meditation rooms in the back for others to rent and pray and fulfill their wishes.
This Longshan Temple not only has Buddha, but also has the Goddess of Childbirth, Yue Lao, and Bodhisattva, so many people come here.
The eldest prince said: "I thought you really changed your personality, but I didn't expect you are still so fond of beauty."
"That man is really...good-looking. No wonder you like him. But I hope you're serious about it."
"If she really returns to secular life and you fall in love with someone else, that would be terrible."
Xu Jinyi patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, brother. From now on, my Zhengjun will only be him and I will never change my mind."
The eldest prince looked back and said, "It seems that this is not going to be easy. He hasn't even caught up with us yet."
"Why are you in such a hurry? The real show is yet to come. Let's see how long he can hold it in."
Xu Jinyi planned to stay here for the next period of time until she dealt with this bastard.
But she didn't expect that she would regret it as soon as she made the decision.
Looking at the two steamed buns, a plate of vegetables, a plate of pickles, and pancakes in front of him, Xu Jinyi twitched his lips.
