Chapter 167 Encounter

The carriage of the prince and his entourage stopped at the gate of Hongfu Temple. Li Chengqian and Princess Gaoyang got off the carriage and climbed the stairs.

When everyone arrived at the gate of Hongfu Temple, they saw Xuanzang leading a group of monks waiting in front of the gate to welcome the arrival of the prince and princess.

"Monk Xuanzang leads all the monks in the temple to pay homage to His Royal Highness the Prince! Her

Royal Highness the Princess!" Xuanzang, wearing a gray cassock, put his hands together and said. "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Prince! Her Royal Highness the Princess!" The monks behind Xuanzang put their hands together and saluted.

"Master, there is no need to be so polite! I come here uninvited this time, please forgive me!" Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"What are you talking about, Prince? It is an honor for our temple that you can come to our temple. The presence of the prince and princess makes our temple more glorious." "

Your Highnesses, please follow me into the temple to rest. I will order people to prepare tea." Xuanzang said.

"Thank you, Master!" Li Chengqian said and walked into Hongfu Temple.

Everyone sat down in the Zen room. After the little nun served tea, she left. Now only Xuanzang and Li Chengqian were left in the Zen room.

"I wonder what your Highness is here for?" Xuanzang asked.

"I came here to see you first, and secondly, I want to meet your disciple, the monk Bianji. I heard that he is knowledgeable and talented. I want to meet him. I wonder if it is convenient to meet him." Li Chengqian said.

"Bian Ji is meditating in the backyard now! If Your Highness wants to see Bian Ji, I can ask someone to call him." Xuanzang said.

"Oh! Since Bian Ji is meditating, I think it's better not to disturb him!" Li Chengqian said.

"It's so stuffy here, I want to go out for some fresh air." Gao Yang said, got up and left the meditation room, went to the backyard, he wanted to see who Bian Ji was.

"This..." Looking at Princess Gao Yang who left after saying a word, Xuanzang didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Master, don't be offended, my sister is deeply loved by my father, and she is spoiled and arrogant, and she is always like this." Li Chengqian said.

"Amitābha!" Xuanzang put his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name. As a monk, he really couldn't say anything about Princess Gaoyang's behavior.

"By the way! Is the master's translation of Buddhist teachings going smoothly? Have you started writing the Great Tang Records on the Western Regions?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Everything is going well. With Bian Ji helping me translate, I can translate Buddhist teachings much faster, and I can also spare time to narrate the Great Tang Records on the Western Regions." Xuanzang said.

When talking about Bian Ji, Xuanzang's eyes lit up. Bian Ji really helped Xuanzang a lot in translating Sanskrit scriptures.

Bian Ji is a real talent.

On the other hand, Princess Gaoyang did not let the maid follow her except for the meditation room. She walked alone in the temple. As she walked, she came to the backyard.

Princess Gaoyang found a tall and strong monk in the backyard, with a shiny head that was so dazzling in the sun.

The monk was wearing a moon-white monk's robe and a pair of gray monk's shoes.

The monk felt someone appear behind him, turned around, and a young woman in a gorgeous dress appeared in the monk's eyes.

The monk found that the young woman was looking straight at him.

This should be a donor who came to burn incense, got lost on the mountain, and ran to the backyard.

"Amitabha!" The monk chanted the Buddha's name and said, "Female donor, you came to Hongfu Temple to burn incense, but you don't know the way and went to the wrong place?"

"I still know the way, why are you doing this in the backyard?" Princess Gaoyang said.

"Don't talk nonsense, lady donor! I am here to meditate and gain enlightenment! How can I be sneaky? It's a sin!" The monk was a little angry when Princess Gaoyang said this.

He was fine in the backyard, and suddenly a woman ran in and said that he was sneaky. Anyone would be angry.

"Why? Are you angry? This is a violation of your Buddhist precepts of anger. Your practice is not enough." Princess Gaoyang said.

"Donor, you are right. I am indeed not practicing enough. I need to continue to meditate." The monk put his hands together and said. "Monk,

what is your name? Do you know who I am?" Princess Gaoyang said. "My name is Bianji.

This is the first time I see you, lady donor, so I naturally don't recognize you." Monk Bianji said.

"I am the jewel in the palm of His Majesty, Princess Gaoyang!" Princess Gaoyang said. The handsome monk in front of her turned out to be the black monk Xuanzang's name, Bian Ji.

"Princess! I salute you!" said Bian Ji.

The two chatted for a while, and Princess Gaoyang found that this monk Bian Ji was really knowledgeable and talented, especially in Buddhism, which he understood more thoroughly than ordinary monks.

He was much better than her Fang Yiai in all aspects. Not only that, he was also physically strong, and his limbs were even more powerful, especially his thick arms, which made people feel safe.

Princess Gaoyang had a good impression of Bian Ji. The more she compared him with Fang Yiai, the more she felt that the monk in front of her was good.

What a pity! But he is a monk. It would be great if he was not a monk.

Princess Gaoyang's heart was beating like a deer, and her cheeks were flushed.

"Princess, are you feeling unwell? I see that your face is red." Bian Ji said, why did the princess suddenly blush!

Princess Gaoyang didn't know how to answer Bian Ji's words for a moment, and the scene was extremely embarrassing.

"Princess! Princess!" At this moment, the voice of a maid came from a distance.

"I'm here!" Princess Gaoyang turned around and shouted loudly.

The maid heard the voice, ran over hurriedly, and said, "Meet the princess!"

"What's the matter?" Princess Gaoyang said.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going back to the palace! Let me come and call the princess back, and go back to the palace together." said the maid.

Li Chengqian talked to Xuanzang for a long time, and it was time to go back. The purpose of his visit this time had been achieved.

Li Chengqian believed that Princess Gaoyang and Bianji had already met, and that was enough. This time was for them to meet!

"Got it!" Princess Gaoyang said, turning back to Bianji and said, "Little monk, I'm going back! See you later!"

"The little monk respectfully sends the princess off!" Bianji put his hands together and bowed.

Princess Gaoyang said, turned around and left, and from time to time she turned back to look at the monk Bianji, as if she wanted to imprint this monk in her heart.

The maid led Princess Gaoyang to the mountain gate. Li Chengqian had been waiting for her for a long time. When he saw Princess Gaoyang appear,

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Gaoyang, you look good! This time, it's not in vain to come to Hongfu Temple. Let's go! It's getting late, we should go back!"

"Thanks to my brother for pulling me out this time, otherwise I wouldn't have come to this temple." Princess Gaoyang said.

As they talked, they came to the carriage, got on the carriage, and returned to Chang'an City in a grand manner.

After entering Chang'an City, the two separated, Li Chengqian returned to the East Palace, and Princess Gaoyang returned to her mansion.
