Another chapter has been added to the story of the Empress's romantic affairs. For several days in a row, Feng Guang has been hiding in her tent, refusing to see any guests. Ever since that passionate encounter at the lake, Gu Yan has been like a wild horse that has broken free whenever he is alone with her. Although a man's skill in that area can make a woman enjoy herself, she cannot bear the consequences of that enjoyment.
Her back and legs ached, and she had to face the ambiguous gazes of everyone. What she couldn't accept the most was that those people's eyes clearly said that His Majesty had been taken advantage of by Prince Qian. She was clearly His Majesty, so of course it was she who had taken advantage of Gu Yan!
In short, after being open for a period of time, she experienced mental and physical distress and decided to live a life of abstinence for a while.
She even had Xiaowo find a string of Buddhist prayer beads from somewhere. When Gu Yan came to find her, he saw her sitting cross-legged on the bed, slowly turning the prayer beads in her hand, with her eyes closed and a look of otherworldly detachment on her face.
Gu Yan chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, what are you playing at?"
"Amitabha." She opened her eyes, her gaze distant and profound, as if she saw nothing at all. She was looking at something beyond the world, but to put it bluntly, her eyes were vacant and blank. "Recently, I have read some Buddhist books and deeply feel that there are many illusions in this world. I want to cultivate myself for a period of time. When I have gained some understanding, I will be able to achieve spiritual sublimation."
Once you've grasped the truth, you won't be far from becoming a monk.
In fact, Feng Guang had no idea what she meant by what she was saying; she only knew that it would sound sophisticated.
Gu Yan called out, "Little me."
"Yes, Your Highness." The servant outside the door immediately came in upon hearing the voice.
He smiled, harmless yet charming, “Your Majesty desires to purify your mind and reduce your desires to practice Buddhism, so you have removed all meat from your meals. These past few days, Your Majesty has been eating vegetarian food.”
I cautiously looked up at the scenery and said, "Yes... Your Highness."
Feng Guang threw a Buddhist prayer bead string at Gu Yan, who gracefully turned to the side, and the string string fell to the ground.
He feigned surprise and asked, "Does Your Majesty no longer wish to practice Buddhism?"
"Gu Yan! You're so annoying!" Feng Guang stood angrily on the bed, completely losing her ethereal demeanor from just moments before. She yelled, "Not letting me eat meat is just a way of trying to kill me, isn't it!?"
"Should I invite a master to explain to Your Majesty that Buddhist practitioners do not eat meat?"
"Some people say that while wine and meat pass through the intestines, Buddha remains in the heart!"
"Your Majesty is right. Just as there are monks who drink alcohol and eat meat, there are also monks who go to brothels to seek pleasure."
Oh no, we've fallen for his trick!
Feng Guang's face turned red with anger. Unable to find words to refute, he could only stomp his foot and let out a heavy snort to express his dissatisfaction.
Upon witnessing this scene, I had already quietly left the tent. His Majesty and the Prince were flirting; wouldn't she be asking for trouble if she stayed?
Gu Yan walked to the bedside and took her foot, which was clad in an anklet. "Your Majesty is not wearing shoes or socks. Doesn't it hurt when you stomp your foot so hard? I remember that Your Majesty is very afraid of pain."
His smile was infectious, easily bringing to mind the scene of her biting his shoulder and crying out in pain in the water that day.
Feng Guang blushed and then turned pale. She tried to pull her foot out but failed. She shouted in shame and anger, "You lecherous scoundrel!"
"Your Majesty may scold me for being a lecher, it's alright. After all, it's just a little bit of fun between a man and a woman." He smiled slightly, revealing a tenderness that he usually didn't show.
Feng Guang was stunned, wondering if he had really fallen for her. She asked hesitantly, "Gu Yan, have you fallen for me?"
He said casually, "Probably."
Yes, he really liked her and slept with her.
