Transmigrated into the book to become the villain prince, the son of the plane to destroy

When Xiao Jie said this, everyone was in an uproar.

Knowing that King Qi has always been arrogant, but he did not expect to be so arrogant that he dared not to care about his grandmother's birthday, and did not even prepare a birthday gift.

Xiao Ji's face instantly turned livid.

Concubine Wang also panicked. Although she was usually arrogant, she would restrain herself a little in front of the emperor, at least she would save some face for the queen mother in front of the emperor, but she never thought that her son was even more exaggerated than herself. Embarrassed Empress Dowager at her birthday banquet.

The Empress Dowager had a calm face, she smiled and smoothed things over: "If you don't bring the birthday gift, then don't bring it, it's fine if you want it."

Seeing that the old birthday star had spoken, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Xiao Ji's complexion improved a little, but he still gave his ignorant son a hard look.

Xiao Jie glanced at Xiao Huang secretly, but saw him lower his head and sneer, and when he raised his face, he changed into an expression of indignation. After all, with such a great grandson like him, Xiao Jie seemed so shameless .

Empress Sun, who had been silent all this time, smiled and helped Xiao Jie: "I think King Qi was too hasty to go out today, and forgot to bring it for a while. After the birthday banquet, just ask the servants in the mansion to bring it to the palace."

The relationship between Empress Sun and Concubine Wang is not good. Concubine Wang covets the position of empress, relying on the power of her natal family, she doesn't pay attention to Empress Sun at all, and deliberately troubles Empress Sun from time to time.

But Empress Sun still chose to defend Xiao Jie at a critical moment.

Xiao Jie knew that Empress Sun was not just pretending, but really kind.In the original book, when Xiao Ji was still debating whether to execute the original body, Empress Sun was the only one who pleaded for him, admonishing Xiao Ji that tiger poison does not eat children, and if he executes his parents and children, it may leave a stain on the history books of later generations .Although he failed to save Yuanshen's life in the end, it was enough to see Empress Sun's bodhisattva heart.

On the contrary, the empress dowager who is happy to smooth things over for herself is a ruthless character. In the original book, when Xiao Ji was still debating whether to execute the original body, the empress dowager specially reminded Xiao Ji that since he intends to solve the entire Wang clan, he should not be soft-hearted. Don’t forget Even Xiao Jie had half of the blood of the Wang family.It was this sentence that strengthened Xiao Ji's determination to kill Yuanshen.

Thinking about it, I also know that a court lady can not only survive the intrigue and deception in the palace, but also be able to mother the world in the end, so she must not be a fool.

The Empress Dowager can be said to be Xiao Huang's nobleman. In the original book, Xiao Huang relied on the Empress Dowager's favor to rise up in the battle for succession, and he was always against the odds.

But today, he wants to rob this nobleman from Xiao Huang.

Xiao Jie smiled slightly: "Grandmother and Empress have misunderstood, I just don't have any presents to offer today, it's not that I didn't prepare gifts for Grandmother."

Xiao Jie's words made everyone stunned for a moment. What does it mean to have a gift ready but not have a gift to offer today.

Xiao Jie continued: "Grandson knows that the emperor's grandmother is dedicated to worshiping Buddha, so he has always wanted to search for a Buddhist treasure for the emperor's grandmother. I hope that the Buddha will be merciful and protect the emperor's grandmother's life, free from illness and disaster."

What she said made the Queen Mother nod repeatedly, and even Xiao Ji's expression eased a lot.

"I don't know if the seventh brother has found it?" Seeing that things are developing in a direction that is beneficial to Xiao Jie, Xiao Huang hastily interjected. Since Xiao Jie said that there is no birthday gift to present today, it is probably because he did not find it. Who would not draw a big cake? meeting.

"Heaven is pitiful. Maybe my filial piety touched the Buddha. The Buddha actually appeared in my dream and gave me a Buddhist treasure. When I woke up the next day, I found a Buddhist treasure next to my bed."

Xiao Jie told the fairy tale with a pious face.

Everyone was instantly petrified, obviously shocked by this fairy tale.

It's not that everyone doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, but that they don't believe in Xiao Jie.Who doesn't know that Xiao Jie is notoriously extravagant and lustful, this kind of scum can impress Buddha and fool ghosts.

Xiao Huang didn't believe it even more, and deliberately dismantled the stage: "So what kind of Buddhist treasure did the Buddha give you? You might as well show it to open the eyes of the emperor's grandmother and us."

Xiao Jie shook his head and said: "I can't take it out, I have already returned the property to the original owner in the name of the emperor's grandmother."

The more everyone listened, the more confused they became. What kind of Buddhist treasure is it that can be returned to its original owner?

At this moment, an eunuch suddenly came in from outside the door to report: "To the Emperor, to the Empress Dowager, Master Tongda, the abbot of the White Horse Temple, is seeking an audience outside the palace."

Master Tongda is a well-known eminent monk in the world, and was invited to the palace many times to lecture on Buddhist scriptures for the Empress Dowager.

When the Queen Mother heard that Master Tongda was asking for an audience, she hurriedly asked someone to invite him in.

Not long after, Master Tongda was brought in by the eunuch, and when he saw the Queen Mother, he fell to the ground instantly, and said in tears, "The poor monk Tongda represents the entire Baima Temple, thank you Queen Mother for your kindness."

When did the Empress Dowager see Master Tongda lose his composure and hurriedly asked the eunuch to help him, but Master Tongda could not kneel down and continued to say: "From today onwards, I, from the White Horse Temple, wish to recite scriptures for the Empress Dowager every day, praying for my Buddha May the Empress Dowager live a long life and be free from disease and disaster."

Everyone was stunned. Is this still the eminent monk in my impression who never changed his color before Mount Tai collapsed?

Xiao Jie stepped forward to help Master Tongda, and said with a smile: "Master, you are serious. My imperial grandmother returned the relics of the Buddha to the noble temple out of a devout heart for the Buddha, not because of greed for the return from the noble temple."

Master Tongda looked at Xiao Jie with grateful eyes. Today, people from the Qi Palace sent the Buddhist relics that had been lost for decades to the White Horse Temple, saying that they were ordered by the Queen Mother to return them to their original owners.

Although Master Tongda didn't understand why the queen mother had to go through the people of Qi Wang's mansion to return the Buddha's relics, but it was their benefactor who could return these Buddhist treasures to the White Horse Temple.

Decades ago, the abbot of the White Horse Temple was still his master Yuanxin. The Qiyun Pagoda caught fire and the relics of the Buddha disappeared. Master Tongda must find the Buddha's relic.After Master Tongda took over as the abbot, he obeyed his master's orders. For decades, Baima Temple offered a lot of money, but the Buddha's relics disappeared without a trace.

Now that the queen mother has retrieved the Buddha's relic and returned it to the White Horse Temple, how can Master Tongda and the rest of the White Horse Temple not be grateful to the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager probably understood what was going on from Master Tongda and Xiao Jie's words. It should be Xiao Jie who recovered the Buddha's relic that was lost in the White Horse Temple back then, but he returned it to the White Horse Temple in his own name.

The queen mother was slightly moved.

She worshiped the Buddha wholeheartedly. Of course, she knew that the Buddha relic was of great significance not only to the White Horse Temple, but also to the entire Buddhist family in China. It was a crime that the Buddha relic was lost during the war when Emperor Ning Taizu attacked Luoyang. The Buddha's relic was found and returned to the White Horse Temple, which can be regarded as paying off the evil debt left by the ancestors.

Because of Wang Guifei, the Empress Dowager doesn't like Xiao Jie, but Xiao Jie's actions today have greatly changed her impression of Xiao Jie, at least not inferior to her good grandson Xiao Huang.

The Empress Dowager did not want to take the credit of Xiao Jie, so she explained with a smile: "The Ai family dare not deceive the Buddha, nor dare to deceive the master. The Buddha's relic was not retrieved by the Ai family, but by the king of Qi. If you want to thank the master, you can go to the king of Qi .”

Master Tongda was dumbfounded, and looked at Xiao Jie again with doubts.

But Xiao Jie shook his head and smiled: "The emperor's grandmother is wrong. I did not find the Buddha's relic, but the Buddha felt my filial piety and took the initiative to manifest it to me. In the final analysis, I got the Buddha's relic because of the emperor's grandmother." Relic, Master Tongda naturally wants to thank the imperial grandmother."

Master Tongda also understood it, and said: "Every fruit has a cause. It is the sincerity of the Empress Dowager and the filial piety of the King of Qi that made the Buddha appear and the Buddha's relic was able to see the light of day again."

"On behalf of the White Horse Temple, the poor monk will thank the Queen Mother and His Royal Highness King Qi."

Master Tongda solemnly thanked the Queen Mother and King Qi again.

The Empress Dowager didn't refuse anymore, she accepted the gift from Master Tongda with peace of mind, and looked at Xiao Jie with a little more kindness.

"This is the best birthday gift the Ai family has received today. King Qi not only relieved the Ai family of a concern, but also canceled the old Buddhist debts of the Emperor Taizu of Daning."

Xiao Huang's complexion sank inadvertently, feeling that he had shed blood for 49 days in vain.

Xiao Jie saw it and sneered in his heart, the matter would not stop here.
