Chapter 1545: Child's Play
Zhou Shuren felt that fortune-telling was a bit of a joke. No matter how the emperor asked, Master Huixin would just say four words: "stabilize the country and ensure its safety." He didn't say any other words. When the emperor asked him too urgently, Master Huixin would just say "Amitabha."
No matter how unwilling the emperor was, it was of no use. He knew the old monk's abilities, and someone had told his fortune once, and it was accurate.
The beads in the emperor's hand were spinning rapidly. It was obvious that the emperor was dissatisfied. He wanted to hear more. People are greedy.
The prince looked left and right, and finally stood there honestly. Of course, it would have been better if he had ignored the gaze directed at Zhou Shuren.
The Emperor looked at Hui Xin who had closed her eyes, and after a long silence, he sighed and said, "I am sorry to bother you today. Do you know what you can and cannot say?"
Hui Xin then opened his eyes and said, "Amitabha, I understand."
Zhou Shuren looked at Huixin with scrutiny, and saw Huixin looking at him. Huixin was old, and her eyes were deep. Zhou Shuren had a feeling of being seen through. All of a sudden he saw Master Huixin smile, and it seemed like it was an illusion just now.
Zhou Shuren, "!!"
He felt that the old monk had something to say, and his heart was pounding!
The emperor and others did not notice this little action. The emperor was still ill and had been sick for a long time. He was tired and said, "Master Huixin, I will not keep you any longer."
After a pause, he said to Zhou Shuren, "Lord Zhou, please go back as well."
Zhou Shuren, "......"
This is a sense of security, confirming that he is really no longer needed. However, I just had my fortune told, so it is better to run away.
Master Huixin stood up, and Zhou Shuren followed suit, and then they retreated together.
After leaving the hall, Zhou Shuren breathed a sigh of relief. He had not come out since he came in yesterday. He was a little anxious to go home. He wondered how worried his wife must be!
Zhou Shuren nodded to Master Huixin and then left quickly. He didn't want to have any conversation with the old monk. His intuition told him that it was better to stay away from him.
They had only walked halfway out of the palace, and Master Hui Xin had been following them at a leisurely pace. Zhou Shu Ren was not stupid, so he stopped and said, "Master Hui Xin."
Hui Xin chanted Amitabha Buddha, "I wonder when Lord Zhou will stop. Lord Zhou is indeed a very smart person."
Zhou Shuren rolled his eyes in his heart, but he was sure that he would stop. "I don't deserve Master Huixin's praise. I am actually just an ordinary person, a very ordinary person."
Hui Xin, "In this world of mortals, everyone is a vulgar person, but Zhou Hou is the one who sees things clearly."
Zhou Shuren, "......"
Okay, you are a master, and what you said is all philosophy of life.
Huixin had long wanted to meet Zhou Hou alone, but unfortunately, Zhou Hou was unwilling to come to Huguo Temple, and he could not leave the temple often. This was the first time he met Zhou Hou. "I have always been curious about Zhou Hou, and today I finally met him."
Zhou Shuren asked, "Disappointed?"
"No, seeing you today actually makes me feel at ease."
Otherwise, he would not tell the result in front of Zhou Hou. People are greedy, and Zhou Hou would not do that. That is why he was willing to tell it but was unwilling to say anything more.
Hui Xin continued, "I am familiar with the policies of Lord Zhou. Lord Zhou is dedicated to the people. I admire him. I hope that Lord Zhou will remain loyal to the people. Amitabha."
Zhou Shuren's eyes were complicated. The old monk was humble. This person must have studied all his policies. This means he trusts him. "This Marquis's original intention remains unchanged."
Master Hui Xin smiled and said, "That's great."
This conversation soon reached the ears of the Emperor and the Retired Emperor. The Emperor coughed and asked, "What do you think of Zhou Shuren?"
The emperor put down the beads in his hand, his face serious, "A normal person would be more or less surprised to hear that he is the one who stabilizes the country, but Zhou Shuren was not like that. Instead, he listened to the result as if it were a joke."
Zhou Shuren looked like this was fortune telling, and that was it?
The emperor chuckled, "This man doesn't do fortune-telling. His family never does fortune-telling for their offspring, except by matching their horoscopes. But Huixin has something to say."
The emperor, "did not tell Zhou Shuren, but he affirmed Zhou Shuren's heart for the people."
The Emperor said quietly, "I was too persistent."
Your Majesty, "The nightmare is too real."
The emperor was unwilling to recall the past and waved to his grandson, "You have been here today. I don't like you to rely too much on Marquis Zhou, but you must respect him. You have to control the degree yourself."
Prince, "Yes."
The Emperor continued, "Let's forget about what happened today."
Prince, "Sun'er will definitely keep his mouth shut."
He is not stupid, so why would he leak it? Grandpa actually calculated Zhou Hou's fortune twice, which shows that Grandpa completely believes in Zhou Hou's ability to stabilize the country. How could he let other people know?
At Zhou's house, Zhulan came in with Shuren. Now that the maids and servants were all there, she didn't want to smell anything, so she could only ask, "Do you want to take a bath?"
Zhou Shuren didn't wash up yesterday, so he really wanted to take a shower. "Okay."
Zhulan followed him into the house, "Then take a shower, I'll ask the kitchen to prepare your favorite meal."
Zhou Shuren said, "Don't make too much. I can't eat it all. Just make less."
"good."
She told Zhou Shuren to change his clothes by himself while she went out to make arrangements.
Zhou Shuren took a quick shower, and when he came out, he lay down on the small kang, drinking the prepared juice to replenish his water. He felt comfortable and said with a smile: "A nest of gold or silver is not as good as your own nest. It's still more comfortable to have your own home."
Zhulan had already sent the maids away, and there was no one guarding the door. "The eldest brother and Changyi wanted to stay home today, but I didn't let them. I sent them away this morning. The eldest brother should be back from the manor soon."
After listening to this, Zhou Shuren told the story of what happened in the palace, "I can't tell any of the bosses about this. The royal family also wanted me to keep my mouth shut. There were no outsiders in the palace at that time."
Zhu Lan took a long time to come back to her senses, "I actually told you your fortune twice? Was it accurate?"
"Whether it's accurate or not, what we have done in recent years is indeed a good strategy. Compared with the nightmare of the retired emperor, our life is now certain. Master Ligong Huixin and I talked for a while. This master is indeed capable."
Zhulan, "That's why I hate fortune tellers the most. Wu Ming's grandmother also told Wu Ming's fortune and it was accurate."
Zhou Shuren, "......"
He is scared, scared, but after having his fortune told today, it is even more impossible for him to go to the Huguo Temple.
Zhulan nodded at the table and said, "Let's just live our lives as usual so that the royal family won't think too much."
"I know what I should do. It doesn't matter whether I get my fortune told or not."
Zhulan sneered, "What a sweet dream."
Zhou Shuren, "Hmm?"
"I've read your fortune twice, and with the added bonus of the Emperor's nightmare, you think the royal family will let you go."
Zhou Shuren, "......"
Zhou Shuren came out of the palace, and he left the palace with Master Huixin. Everyone was confused, and after being confused, they just wanted to know what had happened in the palace.
So the couple hadn't talked for a while when Rong Yuyun came over.
Zhou Shuren kept silent. He didn't want to tell a lie, or he would have to cover it up, so it was better to keep silent.
Rong Yuyun was sure that he couldn't get anything out of him, so he stopped asking. He felt relieved that Shuren was back anyway. "I have something to tell you."
