Linghu Lan: "..."
#The puzzled system: Huh? What broke?
Linghu Lan: Your integrity and my girlish heart. #
"Is shaving one's head absolutely necessary?"
"This humble monk's wish!"
Linghu Lan bit her lip, completely enraged. She had never encountered such a difficult Wei Tang before.
"If you become a monk, then I will also become a monk!"
Hongchen was stunned, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.
After a long pause, he slowly said:
“If the Regent becomes a monk, it means he has an affinity with Buddhism. Over the years, I have often pondered the words the Regent spoke with my teacher at Baoguang Temple when they discussed Zen. I have gained insights from each conversation. The Regent has an affinity with Buddhism, so it is not impossible for him to become a monk!”
"puff……"
Linghu Lan coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Holy crap!
Not only did you become a monk yourself, but you also want to convert your wife!
Where's my sister's knife?
We'll send you back to the drawing board for a fresh start!
A faint smile appeared on his face, his countenance dignified and solemn.
He turned and slowly walked away with the senior monk.
Linghu Lan, who had been shot in the chest, was left standing there bewildered in the wind!
"Your Highness, how are you?"
Linghu Lan pointed to her eyes: "Why are my eyes always filled with tears? It's because I love that fool so deeply."
Palace maid: "..."
The palace maid smiled and gently wiped away two tears from Linghu Lan's eyes with her handkerchief.
"It must be the strong wind that caused the sand to get into your eyes. Your Majesty, forgive my bluntness, but you should have expected to be rejected by Master Hongchen when you came to see him."
Master Hongchen had studied Buddhist scriptures since childhood, and since Buddhist temples often had many renowned healers, he had been deeply influenced by Buddhism from a young age. It wasn't something that could be changed overnight. Furthermore, the Regent had never forced him in the slightest; changing his ways was far too difficult.
"You're right, let's go back to the capital!"
"Your Majesty, you've figured it out? That's wonderful!"
"Go find His Majesty!"
"Should His Majesty issue an edict forbidding Master Hongchen from becoming a monk? Regent, you should have done so long ago. You have been far too lenient with Master Hongchen."
Linghu Lan stopped in her tracks, looking at the palace maid behind her with a resentful gaze.
Girl!
Is my sister the kind of person who badmouths others to His Majesty and forces them to do things against their will?
"No, I want His Majesty to ascend the throne as soon as possible. I want to go to Puhui Temple to be ordained as a nun!"
Palace maid: "..."
puff!
He took an arrow to the knee!
#Disdainful System: As expected, a professional at admitting defeat.
Linghu Lan: You have been moved to the Singles Club. Welcome to the club where you've been single for countless years... #
...
Jiang Wujiang was surprised when he heard the news.
"Grandma, are you really going to become a nun?"
“Indeed, you are old enough to rule in your own right. In the past two years, you have been attending court on your own and are capable of handling things independently. It is time for me to retire gracefully.”
"Is it for Master Hongchen?"
"Not really. If he becomes a monk, it won't matter whether I become a monk or not."
Jiang Wujiang was somewhat annoyed.
"I hereby decree that no one in the secular world is allowed to become a monk. If anyone dares to shave their head for a secular person, I will demolish Baoguang Temple!"
Linghu Lan laughed, "You are a wise ruler, not a tyrant. How can you so easily confiscate property and behead people? It seems you should spend more time listening to sutras at Baoguang Temple."
Jiang Wujiang felt a bit stifled for a moment.
“Grandma, you…”
"What? Please speak your mind!"
"Grandma, can't you find someone else to like?"
Linghu Lan remained silent for a long time.
"Perhaps it's not possible!"
Jiang Wujiang fell silent!
Not many days later.
The news that the regent had resigned his power as regent and minister to the state and had retired to Puhui Temple spread throughout the streets and alleys of the Yu Kingdom.
