Pregnant with His Highness' cub before becoming a monk

"Shifang, have you really made up your mind?"

Outside the gate of Qingyin Temple, Shi Fang was dressed in plain clothes, and he replied reverently to the person who asked the question: "Master, you have asked this question for the third time, disciple... I have no regrets."

"To become a monk and enter the Tao... When saying goodbye to parents, relatives and friends..."

"The disciple has no father, no mother, no relatives and no reason." Shifang said calmly.

At this time, a lone goose flew over Qingyin Temple and neighed.

When Shi Fang heard the sound and looked around, a trace of uneasiness suddenly surged in his heart.

The uneasiness was like the lingering incense mist in the temple, lingering in Shifang's heart until the end of the shaving ceremony, and it never dissipated.

"Oh no……"

As a monk's exclamation sounded in the temple, the entire Qingyin Temple trembled violently. The bricks, tiles, earth and stones began to shake in an instant.

Shifang came out of the hall with a newly shaved bald head, and a familiar figure caught his eyes unexpectedly.

The other party looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, covered in coldness, and was looking at ten directions with red eyes.

"No relatives and no reason?" The young man sneered, his voice questioning, "You said you have no relatives and no reason?"

Shifang felt guilty when he asked him, and subconsciously wanted to comfort him, but when he approached the boy and saw his newly shaved bald head in the eyes of the boy, his explanation was blocked in the middle.

He has already left the world of mortals and became a monk, so what else can he say?

Breaking hair is like breaking a thought, everything is a foregone conclusion...

The young man looked at Shifang, with a bit of undisguised expectation in his red eyes, as if he was waiting for Shifang to give him an explanation.But Shifang looked at him fixedly, but didn't say a word, almost no emotion could be seen on his cold face.

"Brother..." The young man murmured as if unwilling to give up.

Shifang wore a monk's robe, with no sadness or joy on his face, he nodded slightly and said to the young man, "The benefactor takes care of it."

Hearing the sound, the brilliance in the eyes of the young man disappeared, and he looked at Shifang in grief, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Bright red blood splashed onto Shifang's gray monk's robe, at first glance it looked like red plums embroidered on purpose.

Shi Fang looked down at the bloodstain, and felt a sudden tug in his heart, the pain made him almost suffocate.

The young man smiled coldly, his eyes full of disappointment, and said: "Brother...you are so cruel."

As soon as his words fell, the whole person seemed to have fallen into the void, Shi Fang reached out to pull him but was in vain.

"Since you regard this place as your home, Gu will destroy your home today!" The young man's voice came from the void: "So...you should remember that you have relatives, right?"

At the same time, Qingyin Temple collapsed and turned into ruins...

"!!!"

Shifang woke up suddenly, breaking out in a cold sweat.

He sat on the bed and calmed down for a moment before realizing that it was just a dream.

But the feeling in the dream was very clear, and Shi Fang felt a little pain in his heart after a while.

"Shifang, are you awake?" A young man's voice came from outside the door.

Shifang responded and hurriedly got up to open the door.

The monks in the temple always get up early, almost always before dawn.If it was in the past, Shifang would have woken up earlier now, but he didn't know whether it was because of a nightmare last night or because he was restless, so he woke up much later than usual today.

"Brother Yanji." After Shifang opened the door, he saluted the people outside.

"Today you are going to take precepts, Master sent me to see you." Yanji said.

Hearing the words, Shi Fang suddenly remembered the gaze of the boy in the dream, and couldn't help feeling a little hesitant in his heart.

Yanji's gaze was like a torch, and he looked into Shifangna's momentary hesitation, and said: "The principle of becoming a monk and entering the Tao is the predestined relationship. Since you have distracting thoughts, why don't you go and find out first? The left and right Qingyin Temple has always been here, one day earlier. One day later will not run away."

When Shifang heard him say "Qingyin Temple has always been here", his heart skipped a beat, and he remembered the ruined Qingyin Temple in his dream.

Although this nightmare was a bit inexplicable, the boy's questioning in the dream was as real as it was, making Shifang feel uncomfortable even across the dream.

"Senior brother... I..." Shi Fang lowered his eyes, and there was a rare tangle between Qing Juan's brows.

"The palace will send people to offer incense again in a few days, let's go back to the palace with them and have a look." Yanji said softly, "I will tell Master, you don't have to worry."

Shi Fang originally wanted to say that there was no need to be like this, but when he thought about it for a moment, the appearance of the boy in his dream appeared in his mind.

No relatives and no reason, he said these words frankly in the dream, but he couldn't deceive himself when he woke up.

"If you really let go, what's the point of entering the palace ten more times? If the world of mortals has no destiny with you, you can't be tied down by yourself." Yanji paused and said: "If your secular destiny is not over, it is considered true shaving I'm afraid it will be difficult to enter the Tao."

Shi Fang pondered for a moment when he heard the words, and said with a wry smile: "When I left the palace, I had a quarrel with that person, I'm afraid..."

"Are you afraid that His Royal Highness won't let you enter the palace?" Yanji said with a smile: "He hasn't come to visit you in the temple these few years, isn't it because he can't let go? Since he can't let go, how can he not give you a break?" Chance?"

Shifang was silent for a long while, and he sighed softly, thinking of some past events.

Yanji said again: "Go, you have to face calamity or fate, and you can't hide from it."

Shi Fang nodded after hearing the words, and finally made up his mind.

He really wasn't unaccompanied.

Since there are relatives and reasons, it is reasonable to go to say goodbye before leaving home.

A few days later, people from the palace came to Qingyin Temple to offer incense, and Shifang asked them to enter the palace.

The person in charge among the visitors was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old father-in-law named Yuxing.

Yuxing was quite astute, but even though he was well-informed, when he suddenly heard that Shifang was going back to the palace, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and almost didn't answer the words.

"You are... Master Shifang?" Yu Xing looked at Shifang in front of him, and felt that this man had an extraordinary temperament and handsome appearance, especially his eyes were like deep pools, and when he was not smiling, he was a little cold. It's like the unreasonable banished fairy in the storybook.

It's no wonder that Yuxing felt that Shifang was "unhuman". In recent years, he has been ordered to bring people to Qingyin Temple to offer incense every month.They nominally came to offer incense, but every time they would follow their orders and ask the people in the temple, "Is Master Shifang safe?"

But he kept asking for many years, but he never saw Shi Fang face to face.

Yuxing's only understanding of Shifang is that this person seems to have a deep relationship with the prince.

As for the extent of the festival?

One year, the prince suddenly sent two palace servants away, had their tongues cut off, and made them kneel for three days and three nights at the intersection that the palace servants must pass every day, as a warning to everyone else.It is said that the reason why those two people were dismissed was that Shi Fang's name was mentioned, and the prince heard it rightly.

Since then, no one in the palace dared to mention Shifang again.

Especially in front of the prince, they wished they could avoid the words "ten" and "fang".

Therefore, when Yuxing heard that Shifang was going to follow him into the palace, he was stupid at that time.

It's not that he doesn't want to, even if he lends him a hundred guts, he doesn't dare!

"If Eunuch is inconvenient, forget it." Shi Fang was not very persistent, he thought for a while and said: "Otherwise, I will write a letter and ask Eunuch to help deliver it to His Highness the Crown Prince."

Shi Fang thought to himself, he returned to Gongben this time to say hello to the prince in advance, firstly, it was an explanation for the nightmare that night, secondly, he could feel at ease, so that he would not have to worry about the boy's questioning in his dream. Always feel guilty.

Unexpectedly, when Yuxing heard that Shifang asked him to deliver a message to the prince, he almost knelt down in fright.

Even if the letter was brought to the palace, who would dare to send it to the prince?

Aren't you afraid of having your hands chopped off or your feet chopped off?

"Master Shifang...the slave will serve in front of the imperial court occasionally, but it would be more convenient to send a message to His Majesty." Yu Xing said, "His Royal Highness is the prince of the country, slave..."

Shi Fang was taken aback when he heard the words, realizing that he was a little abrupt.

As a person who practiced in the temple, it is really inappropriate to send a letter to the prince casually.

"Then I will trouble my father-in-law to send a message to Your Majesty and the Empress. Just say that Shi Fang misses them very much recently." Shi Fang said.

Yuxing heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, as long as he didn't send a message to the prince, it would be easy to say anything.

Shi Fang turned around and was about to say goodbye when he suddenly remembered something, and asked Yuxing, "How's the prince's temperament these past few years?"

Yu Xing couldn't help turning pale when he heard the words, he would never dare to talk about His Highness the Crown Prince behind his back, let alone in front of Shi Fang.

"His Royal Highness... His disposition is lenient and benevolent, which is the blessing of my banquet for the people." Yu Xing said.

Shi Fang couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief when he heard the words, "forgiving temperament" is good, it seems that it is not quite the same as what he dreamed.

On that day, after Yuxing returned to the palace, he conveyed Shifang's greetings.

He thought everything would be fine, but he didn't expect to run into the person he was most afraid of in his life under the corridor just after he came out of the shift.

"Slave pays respects to His Royal Highness the Prince." Yu Xing saluted the other party respectfully.

When the other party didn't speak, Yuxing just stood there and didn't dare to move. He lowered his head and couldn't see the prince's expression, but he could feel a cold gaze falling on him.

"I heard that he is going back to the palace, but you didn't agree?" the prince said calmly.

His tone wasn't very scary, but Yuxing was still so frightened that his hands and feet were cold.

"Slave...slave..." Yuxing knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed to the prince and said, "Slave deserves to die!"

He really didn't know whether the prince wanted to praise him for refusing, or to blame him... Since he didn't know, the best choice was not to answer the prince's question directly, anyway, it was right to apologize first.

The prince was silent for a long while without making a sound, Yu Xing didn't dare to raise his head, but the feeling of being like a light on his back just now seemed to fade a bit, presumably His Highness the Prince restrained his eyes from falling on him.

"Did he ask Gu?" the prince asked.

"Back to Your Highness...he asked the servant, what's your Highness's temperament in recent years?" Yu Xing replied.

The prince frowned slightly when he heard this, and asked in a cold voice, "How did you answer?"

"Your servant... The servant said that His Highness's lenient temperament is a blessing for the people I feast on." Yu Xing said hastily.

The prince was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, his expression was very complicated.

After a while, Yuxing heard the prince say "get up".

Then there was a sound of footsteps, and when Yuxing raised his head, the prince had already disappeared.

He heaved a sigh of relief and fell down on the ground, for a moment he didn't know whether to be afraid or to be grateful, he only hoped that this matter would be over, and there should be no further troubles.

However, things backfired...

At noon the next day, Yuxing appeared in Qingyin Temple again.

But this time, he was ordered to bring Shifang back to the palace.

"Your Majesty and the Empress miss Master Shifang very much, and specially ordered servants to bring Master Shifang back to the palace." When Yuxing faced Shifang again today, his attitude was obviously much more respectful than yesterday.

"Why did father-in-law come so early today?" Shi Fang asked.

Qingyin Temple is half a day's journey away from the capital, and the people who come to offer incense on weekdays arrive at noon at the earliest, and Yuxing arrives at this point, and they must have rushed out of the city when the city gate opened early in the morning.

"Hehe..." Yuxing laughed dryly, raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, but did not answer directly, but said: "Master Shifang, please tidy up and salute. If there are too many things, the servants can help tidy up together." .”

Seeing Yuxing, Shifang seemed very anxious and didn't delay.

He bid farewell to the master and brothers in the monastery, and followed Yuxing down the mountain.

On the way back to the palace, Shi Fang was very emotional.

The last time he took this path was a few years ago.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, he has already passed the weak crown year. I just wonder if the little boy we parted from back then has changed much now?

Shi Fang thought about the appearance of the young man in his dream, and couldn't help shaking his head. No matter what, he couldn't match the other party with the "generous and benevolent" Prince Highness Yu Xing said.

"Eunuch Yuxing..." When approaching the gate of the palace, Shi Fang couldn't help but lift the curtain of the car and asked Yuxing, "I haven't been back to the palace for several years. I don't know if your majesty and your highnesses are all right now?"

Yuxing was trembling all the way, as if he was very afraid that Shifang would ask him about the affairs of the palace, especially about the prince.

Now that Shifang finally opened his mouth, Yuxing blurted out nervously: "His Royal Highness is generous and benevolent, which is a blessing to the people at the feast."

Shifang was a bit dazed when he heard the words, he asked about the recent situation of the people in the palace, why did Yuxing answer the prince?And this sentence sounds very familiar, it is exactly what Yuxing said to him once before, and not a single word is bad.

After a while, the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace.

According to the rules, Shifang had to get off the car here and walk into the palace.

Today, the emperor hosted a banquet in the palace to welcome Shifang, so the news that Shifang was going back to the palace had already spread in the palace.

Everyone dared not discuss it publicly, for fear of offending the prince, but they were very curious in private.

So when Shifang arrived at the gate of the palace, the guards guarding the gate looked into the carriage intentionally or unintentionally.

After a while, Yuxing lifted the curtain of the car and helped Shifang get out of the car. When everyone saw Shifang's appearance clearly, he was amazed.

Shi Fang was originally born to be good-looking. In the past few years, he has been cultivating himself in the temple and staying away from the dust. .

The place where Shi Fang got off the carriage was not far from the gate of the palace, only a few steps away.

But when Shifang reached the gate of the palace, he stopped in place and did not step in for a long time.

After being away for too long, Shifang couldn't tell whether he was timid because of his closeness to his hometown, or because he was afraid of facing that boy...

If the boy questioned him like in a dream, how should he answer?

Or, the young man has long since let go, and he doesn't even remember that there is such a person in the world.

"Master Shifang, let's go in." Yuxing followed Shifang and reminded respectfully: "It's very hot outside, so take care to sunbathe."

"En." Shi Fang took a deep breath, and walked towards the palace gate.

However, when he raised his eyes, he saw a young man strode out from the palace gate.

The young man is tall and straight, with a noble appearance, and his facial features are more heroic and outstanding than when he was young.

Shi Fang stared at the boy approaching in a daze, not knowing how to react for a while.

"See Your Highness the Prince!" The guards and servants at the gate of the palace saluted the young man one after another.

Only then did Shifang come to his senses, and subconsciously wanted to bow down to salute, but the boy held his arm with one hand.

"Brother..." The young man looked at Shifang, his eyes were bright red.

However, that blush was different from the gaze seen in Shifang's dream. The young man at that time was full of disappointment and anger, but now the young man looked aggrieved.

"Gu miss you very much." The boy's voice was nasal, as if he was about to cry in the next second.

Shi Fang's heart softened, and he subconsciously reached out to pat the boy on the shoulder.

However, the young man seemed to have misunderstood his movement of raising his hand, and leaned over to hug Shi Fang.

The guards and servants on the side were all shocked when they saw this!

It was agreed that the two had a deep holiday?
