Come on, Your Highness

Before dawn, Xiao Hong opened his eyes, and He Xichao beside him was still in a deep sleep, his head half buried in the quilt, and there was a soft and rhythmic breathing sound, which made the silence around here seem particularly peaceful and warm.

Xiao Hong just turned his head sideways and stared at He Xichao's exposed half of his face, thinking that everything looks good, even a strand of hair suits his wishes.

The bed cabinet in this squatter room was very small, the two barely slept, and naturally they were very close together, Xiao Hong felt that if his head moved in half an inch, he would be able to touch He Xichao's face.

He wants to kiss.

As soon as this idea was picked up, he couldn't hold it down anymore, Xiao Hong's heart suddenly felt like a cat scratching, and his whole body was ready to move.

He Xichao was in a deep sleep, if he had been careful enough and moved lightly and quickly, he wouldn't have woken up, right?

Xiao Hong's Adam's apple twitched slightly, and he stared closely at He Xichao's sleeping face with a vicious heart and courage. The distance between the two was less than half an inch, but he moved for a full cup of tea before he moved to the point where he only pouted. within reach of the mouth.

He licked his lips, his heart was pounding, and he slowly pouted his mouth towards He Xichao's face...

Excited and warm breath sprayed on his face, He Xichao frowned uncomfortably, so he subconsciously turned his head in another direction, and did not forget to bury it under the quilt.

As soon as He Xichao moved, Xiao Hong was so frightened that he froze in place, not to mention any unruly actions, he dared not take back his pursed mouth.But when He Xichao became quiet again, he could only stare at the back of his head facing him.

Missed the opportunity and sighed.

The zealous heart is still there, but the zealous courage has been lost.

That's all, my life matters.

Xiao Hong sighed deeply towards the ceiling, then got up helplessly and got out of bed, touched the crutch beside the bed, and went out lightly.

"Your Highness?" Lu Feng was guarding the door, and when he saw Xiao Hongtian went out before dawn, and crept out of the threshold, he asked strangely, "What are you doing..."

"Shh..." Xiao Hong raised a finger in front of him, and said in a low voice, "Be gentle, Xi Chao is still sleeping. Close the door quickly, and don't make any noise."

It was like being a thief. Lu Feng was full of doubts, but he still carefully closed the door for Xiao Hong as he said, and then asked in a low voice: "Where are you going, my subordinate will accompany you?"

"Go to the host. Don't follow me. I'll do it alone. If Xi Chao wakes up, you can tell him." Xiao Hong's voice was low and Lu Feng had to concentrate and hold his breath to hear clearly.

How could Lu Feng dare to let this injured person go alone, he quickly shook his head: "How can this be done? Let the two brothers accompany you, don't worry, they will not delay your business."

Xiao Hong raised his eyes to look inside the house, and felt that if the dispute continued, it would be dawn, so he nodded, "All right, just follow from a distance, don't get close."

"Yes."

Xiao Hong limped to the door of Master Zhichan's meditation room, and saw a young novice coming out of it, and saw Xiao Hong asked strangely: "Did His Royal Highness come to look for the presiding officer?"

"Yes, what about others?"

"The presiding officer has gone to gather medicine, you have to wait."

"So early, which direction did he go?"

"Houshan, I guess it's time for Shi Chen to come back."

Xiao Hong heard the words and thanked him, so he went to the back mountain and saw the Mingxin Ladder when he went up the mountain the day before yesterday, so he sat down and waited carelessly.

After burning an incense stick, an old monk came up from the Mingxin Ladder with a bamboo basket on his back. Seeing Xiao Hong who was bored knocking on the stone steps with a cane, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Amitabha, Your Highness got up really early today."

"It's not as early as you!" Xiao Hong looked at his back basket and couldn't help but scold, "I said, you are already old, and you still go to the mountains to collect herbs for what, in case, I said in case not Be careful if you fall, it will be a lot of fun. There are so many young monks, isn't it enough for you to send?"

Xiao Hong's address changed from yesterday's you to today's you. It can be seen that he is asking for others, so he naturally lowered his figure and came to watch early in the morning with a lot of determination.

Master Zhichan didn't point it out, just said: "The old monk has already seen these herbs ten days ago. It rained a little last night, and the best medicinal properties are suitable for picking. Your Highness can use them."

Xiao Hong was surprised when he heard this, and said: "So it was given to me, so I should carry it back for you. However, I have difficulty walking, so I won't drag you down."

"Your Highness is honorable, there is no need to do so."

"I'm asking you for a divination. It should be." Xiao Hong smiled and followed Master Zhichan leaning on a cane. His attitude towards asking for help was very good and straightforward.

Master Zhichan couldn't help laughing, and returned to the meditation room with the bamboo basket on his back.

"Since your Highness is here, why don't you change your medicine."

"You are the master, I listen to you." Xiao Hong sat down on the couch and put his feet on it.

The gauze was untied, the swollen and bleeding toe had returned to size, the pus and blood from the wound disappeared, and it didn't look so scary anymore.

"Amitabha, in two days, His Highness will be able to walk on the ground."

Xiao Hong also learned to put his hands together, and bowed to the sky, "Amitabha, it's really not easy." After speaking, he winked at Master Zhichan, "I'll ask Master again, would you like to divination this divination for me?"

After two days, Zhichan also understood Xiao Hong's unconstrained and out-of-the-ordinary temperament, and always felt that it was a miracle that such a person could be cultivated in the deep palace.

This hexagram is not difficult, but why did Xiao Hong procrastinate for the past two years, Zhi Chan has no idea, "No lies in front of the Buddha."

Xiao Hong chuckled lightly, and said: "I didn't lie, there is a reason, but I am willing to say, Master, dare to listen?" Zen's hand paused slightly.

"Actually, I told the Buddha when I went up the Mingxin Ladder. He didn't object, so it's a tacit consent?" Not only the Buddha, but the Jade Emperor and all the gods in the sky should be overturned by him.

This slight threat made Zhichan frown.

Xiao Hong didn't care about him, just looked around the meditation room, and said to himself: "Although the king has only been up the mountain for two days, Qinglian Temple is really simple, as if isolated from the world of mortals, far away from the hustle and bustle of fame and fortune, Master Zhichan is dignified Hosting, and even going to the mountains to collect herbs by himself, such an indifferent character is simply aspirational."

Xiao Hong searched his brains to find some words that seemed to be very deep. When he finally ran out of words, he changed his subject, "But if you really break away from the world and don't take fame and fortune seriously, why do you have to set up a ladder of understanding for the world? What about people who explain divination? As my family Xichao said, celebrities live in famous mountains, and they have made it clear that they want to be an official.

Xiao Hong's eyes fell on the basket of herbs. He absolutely did not believe that Zhichan would personally collect herbs for all the injured people who went up the mountain. He even pointed it out this time, naturally because of Xiao Hong's identity.

No matter how independent a monk is, as long as he does not become a Buddha, he must eat and drink, and he must live in a temple. He has more than 50 mouths. What should he do if he has no money?

Monks don't do production, and rely on pilgrims for money.

Don't care about Huguo Temple's fusion with the secular world. It seems that fame and fortune are a bit impure, but the golden Buddha statues, the more magnificent temples, the endless stream of nobles, and the bronze tripod in front of the Daxiong Hall. Dozens of battles, burning incense seems to never stop, which temple is not envious?

A monk is also an individual, even if he becomes a monk, he will constantly cut off his emotions and desires.

Master Zhichan looked at Xiao Hong's determined eyes, couldn't help holding up the Buddhist beads, closing his eyes and chanting.

"Amitabha……"

This is an admission, and Xiao Hong immediately felt a little relieved, but in order to show that Zhichan is not so selfish and utilitarian, he said empathetically: "You are getting old, in fact, the life in Qinglian Temple does not need to be like this. It's just that there are many disciples and grandchildren after all, so I always have a little bit of concern. I hope they will have a clear path in the future. You have stayed in Qinglian Temple for most of your life, and I am afraid that Qinglian Temple will not be destroyed after you leave. right?"

After Zhichan finished reciting a scripture, he opened his eyes, looked at Xiao Hong with a complicated expression, and finally sighed slightly, "Your Highness will come to Qinglian Temple, I thought it was arranged by the Buddha. But I have a doubt, please answer it. "

"You say."

"Huguo Temple is a great temple, presiding over Master Wu is also an eminent monk who understands His Highness's intentions better, so why did you come to Qinglian Temple?"

"There are too many people, the chatter is mixed, not quiet enough." Xiao Hong said without thinking, but at the end, looking at the thoughtful Master Zhichan, he said, "The most important thing is that it is too expensive."

After Xiao Hong got this matter done, he felt completely refreshed. If it wasn't for the fact that he still limped while walking, and couldn't do without his third leg, he would definitely be able to happily run back to He Xichao's side.

To claim credit.

Look, it didn't cost a tael of silver!

Xiao Hong pushed the door open and entered, just as He Xichao got up to wash up, seeing the pride that could not be wiped off, He Xichao couldn't help but said: "Why, the host agreed?"

"That's right, understand it with emotion and move it with reason. The master is also an understanding person, and he agreed after a while." Xiao Hong walked over, took out a stack of bank notes from his arms, and stuffed them back. In He Xichao's hands, "Here, you don't know how much perseverance it took me to keep them. It's not easy."

The silver bill was kept on Xiao Hong's chest, still warm, He Xichao smiled slightly and asked, "Since you didn't spend any money, what did you agree to? In the future, Qinglian Temple will be developed to be comparable to Huguo Temple?"

The corner of Xiao Hong's mouth twitched when he heard this, he scratched his head and said with a sneer: "I really can't hide anything from you."

"Tsk, His Royal Highness, is one of your promises worth such a small amount of money? That old monk is really a chicken thief." After He Xichao finished speaking, he grabbed Xiao Hong's lapel and stuffed the silver ticket back into his chest, " You take it, you have to stay here for a few days, maybe it will be useful, so I will go first."

Xiao Hong was so startled by He Xichao's series of actions that he almost jumped away, and almost ran out of screams, but he didn't expect that He Xichao just stuffed a banknote, and he didn't have any idea of ​​going out of the way, so he was a little disappointed.

He Xichao glanced at him with a half-smile, opened the door and went out.

Xiao Hong turned his head and hurriedly chased after him, "Well, why don't you leave after eating the vegetarian meal?"

"Eat down the mountain."

"What are you so anxious about?"

"I have an appointment for dinner at the Crane Tower."

Xiao Hong: "..." After a pause, he walked quickly on three legs, caught up with He Xichao, grabbed him, and asked righteously, "Who is it?"

No matter who is so important, what is important can make He Xichao abandon the injured him, so he has to eat that meal!Xiao Hong felt that he wanted to hit someone a little bit, of course it was another person.

He Xichao looked down at the tightly clenched hands, saw Xiao Hong's accusing face, as if he would not let go until he said it, and promised to send someone to beat him to death when he said it, he couldn't help being speechless for a while, thinking how childish this person is so cute.

"The accounts of the Yingwang Mansion's property have been cleared day and night for more than half a month. I plan to comfort them at the Crane Tower today. By the way, I will hold a summary meeting to discuss the process. It is very important. Do you understand?"

"Oh..." Xiao Hong's expression was suddenly a little awkward.

He Xichao asked with a smile: "Then can you let go?"

Xiao Hong hurriedly let go of his hands, hehehehe giggled, and smoothed He Xichao's wrinkled sleeves: "Then you are busy, you are busy."

He Xi rolled his eyes at him, and was about to leave when Xiao Hong suddenly grabbed him again and asked, "Another question?"

"Ok?"

"When can I go back? In the temple, I either meditate or chant scriptures, and I can't walk around after hurting my leg. It's too boring. And the vegetarian meal is only vegetarian without any meat. Life is so difficult!"

It's been two days since I came here and I can't stand it anymore, it's really dumbfounding.

He Xichao crossed his arms, looked into Xiao Hong's earnest eyes and said, "Wait until the emperor comes to invite you in person."

Xiao Hong's eyes widened instantly, "What?"

"It's so embarrassing to go back by yourself. Since I ran out, I have to take it back with my parents."

He Xichao said it lightly, but Xiao Hong felt that Jane was dreaming, could his father be the same as an ordinary person's father?It would take a lot of work to get out of the palace, not to mention putting aside a bunch of urgent state affairs to come to him.

"It's impossible." Xiao Hong vetoed it.

He Xichao ignored him, "Nothing is impossible, you can live here with peace of mind, don't think the food is unpalatable, life is boring. You should feel that your body and mind have been sublimated, your vulgar thoughts have been washed away, and you have Tao Gong watching picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence. I really like this place far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, and I really want to live like this for the rest of my life, picking herbs and enjoying flowers, and sitting in the cloudy mountains to feel life."

Xiao Hong opened his mouth, but didn't make a sound, just watched He Xichao open and close his mouth and created a disillusioned Xiao Hong.

"To sum up, the days of escaping are extremely beautiful, so let you play wild outside happily." He Xichao clapped his hands, with a smile in his eyes, as if it was agreed.

Xiao Hong wiped his face with difficulty, "Is this me?"

"Whether it's you or not is not important. Anyway, if you do this, you should write the same letter to the emperor later. It is estimated that after ten days and a half, the emperor will come to you."

Xiao Hong: "..." Life is too bitter, and I really want to go back to the world of mortals and roll around again.

The author has something to say: Yao: With this little promise, you can just wait for Xi Chaoxuan to serve you in this life.

Xiao Hong: ...
