Chapter 351: Taking a long vacation to listen to the scriptures and discuss the Dao
After hearing the little monk's decisive answer, Li Bixiang stood there in a daze.
This Master Yuanqing is truly an old monk!
Is it this old bald donkey that makes Cheng Yunshuo stay with him every night and never go home?
For a moment, she felt so overwhelmed that she stood at the door of the hall and couldn't move an inch.
You know, in order to catch Cheng Yunshuo, she has been on guard all these years. She entered the marquis's mansion as a concubine, so what she feared most was that there would be some young and beautiful woman out there who would follow her path and seduce him away.
Over the years, she had taken great pains. A few months before she became pregnant with her first child, she sent Cheng Yunshuo to one of the two concubines in the mansion. One reason was to protect the child, and the other was that she was afraid that he would not have sex for a long time and would cheat on her!
The third is to please Qiu Ling and Ling Long and get along better with them.
Later, her little trick was accidentally discovered by Lu Lingyun, who made her pregnancy public, ruining her plan, but fortunately the impact was not great.
Qiu Ling and Ling Long knew her plan, and their dislike for her had no effect on her at all.
She just wanted the child and Cheng Yunshuo to be safe in her hands.
Fortunately, Lu Lingyun did not harm her child again, and her child was born safely. At the same time, Cheng Yunshuo knew that she was pregnant and came to see her every day.
She gave birth to a daughter as her first child and she felt lost for a long time, but fortunately, Cheng Yunshuo seemed to like her daughter very much.
With Cheng Lanying, he would come every night to play with her and make her laugh.
Seeing this, Li Bixi ignored the fact that she had just given birth two months ago, stopped breastfeeding, told herself to recover her body and menstruation as soon as possible, took the secret medicine in her uterus, and got pregnant with Bingzhi.
Giving birth to these two children for Cheng Yunshuo really broke her body!
Fortunately, she was lucky during those years. Although Lu Lingyun, the mistress of the house, was difficult to deal with, she actually did not harm the children.
She stood firm with her two children and even instigated them to stick to Cheng Yunshuo, and this sticking lasted for more than six years.
She is the only one favored by the Marquis.
But in the end, she was carefully guarding against Cheng Yunshuo's women outside, and the concubines and mistresses in the Marquis's mansion, but Cheng Yunshuo was actually seduced away by a monk outside.
After confirming that Master Yuanqing was indeed a monk.
Although Li Bixi was happy, she was also heartbroken.
She had spent all her efforts on Cheng Yunshuo, but why would he rather talk to a monk than go back to the mansion...
Just at this moment, the old monk who was preaching the sutras opened his eyes.
Under the drooping eyelids are a pair of clear and pure eyes.
Full of wisdom.
He glanced at Li Bixi and gave her a gentle Buddhist smile.
After meeting his eyes, Li Bixi dodged awkwardly.
After a while, today's lecture came to an end. The devout men and women in the hall donated incense, paid their respects, and then slowly left.
Master Yuanqing walked up to Li Bixi and said, "Amitabha, good, good."
"Amitabha." Li Bixiang replied. At this moment she was suddenly embarrassed because she had no money on her.
Of course, she wouldn't donate even if she had money.
Just because the old monk walked up to her, she pretended to take out some money for incense offerings.
She can decide whether to donate or not after the old monk leaves.
After searching her body for a while, Li Bixi said, "I'm sorry, Master. I had to go out in a hurry today and forgot to bring money."
"Don't worry, lady." Master Yuanqing smiled calmly, "You came to our temple to increase our Buddhist affinity, Amitabha."
The old monk helped her out of the dilemma. Li Bixi lowered her eyes and said, "Amitabha, the master's reputation is far-reaching. He is indeed kind and compassionate. I will come to donate some incense in the future."
Li Bixi said she was leaving.
"Female donor," Yuanqing called her again at this time.
"Master, may I ask if there is anything else I can teach you?" Li Bixiang looked up at Yuanqing.
But for some reason, every time she met his gaze, she couldn't help but avoid it.
Just like a creature in darkness that cannot bear to look at the light.
Master Yuanqing looked at her with a smile, "Female donor, you came here to look for someone, right?"
"Master," Li Bixi was even more evasive at this time, "No, I just came here to worship Buddha and donate some incense."
Her words made the little monk beside her frown.
She just said that she didn't have any money with her. She came here specially to worship Buddha and donate incense, but she still doesn't have any money?
Even these monks couldn't stand it anymore.
Master Yuanqing did not expose Li Bixi's words. He just continued to look at her with a smile, "Don't be nervous, lady. The person you are looking for has arrived."
Li Bixiang was startled when she heard this. She turned her head involuntarily and actually saw Cheng Yunshuo appear.
At this time of the day, shouldn't Cheng Yunshuo be on duty in the palace?
"Why are you here?" Cheng Yunshuo asked when he saw Li Bixi appearing here.
"I came here to pray for Lanying," Li Bixi thought of an excuse and asked, "My Lord, why aren't you in the palace?"
Hearing her question, Cheng Yunshuo glanced at Master Yuanqing and the other people who were coming and going, and said to Li Bixi, "Come with me to the backyard and talk."
"Yes." Li Bijie obediently followed Cheng Yunshuo and walked back.
After she left, the young monk next to Master Yuanqing said, "Master, why is that female donor lying? She just said she came to worship Buddha."
"Amitābha Buddha, think of emptiness. Everything in the world has cause and effect. Please listen to my Buddha's precepts." Master Yuanqing said.
"Yes, Master." The little monk quickly closed his mouth.
Master Yuanqing looked deeply at Li Bixi who was following Cheng Yunshuo and shook his head slightly.
In the backyard, Li Bijie followed Cheng Yunshuo to a meditation room.
Only after she entered the meditation room did she realize it.
Cheng Yunshuo simply didn't go on duty today.
He asked for a long vacation from the palace and never went there again. He stayed in the temple to listen to Buddhist scriptures and discussions.
After Li Bixi found out, she felt terrible.
"My Lord, how can this be possible!" she said urgently.
This will affect your future!
Cheng Yunshuo glanced at her coldly and said, "Why not?"
After meeting his distant and cold eyes, Li Bixi hurriedly tried to find an excuse, "I mean, have you discussed such a big matter as your request for a long vacation with the young lady?"
Cheng Yunshuo's expression improved a little, and he said, "Lingyun will understand me."
Li Bixi: “…”
She simply wanted to piss Cheng Yunshuo off to death.
She no longer had any requirements for Cheng Yunshuo. She only hoped that he could serve as the commander of the Yulin Army steadily and then inherit the title of the Marquis in the future. But what was he trying to do?
Instead of doing a good job, he took such a long vacation. When asked what he was going to do, he said it was just to listen to monks preaching in the temple!
It would have been fine if he just went there every night before, but now he has taken a special leave to go there. Has he lost his mind?
