Fate is easy to tie, not easy to solve

There are three more days until the Harvest Festival celebration, and the ceremonial department of the Chu Palace is extremely busy.Over the years, on the day of the celebration, the principals of a country go to the temple to offer incense and pray for the country's subjects.In the next three days, the prince of a country will fast and chant scriptures for the monarch in the temple, praying to the Lord Buddha to protect our country forever.

Tomorrow we will leave for the Huguo Temple, and at night the Prince's bedroom in the Crown Prince's uterus is still brightly lit.Wu Yun lifted the candle wick with a silver needle, and the light was stronger.He walked up to Chu Hong who was reading a book. He had never seen the text in that book, and it seemed to be the literature of a foreign race. "Your Highness, it's getting late at night, why don't you let the servant serve you to rest?"

Chu Hong raised her head and rubbed her eyes, it was already pitch black outside the window. "Go and rest first."

Wu Yun hesitated, since Chu Hong hadn't wanted him for a long time since he came back last time, this made him very uneasy.Wu Yun knelt on the ground and hugged Chu Hong's leg, his eyes were red: "Did your Highness do something wrong with your servant? Why don't you use your servant to serve you?"

Before Chu Hong's thoughts came out of the book, she was slightly stunned, and it took him a while to realize what he said, and she couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.Chu Hong put down the book, "Yun'er, what is this, why do you think that His Highness is such a person?"

Wu Yun shook his head and pursed his lips, "I don't mean that by the servant, but His Highness has never let the servant serve you since he came back for so long, thinking that His Highness doesn't need the servant anymore." Tears flowed out as he spoke.

Chu Hong saw that his face had turned yellow these days, his eyes were dark and blue, and he thought he didn't sleep well.During this period of time, he did deliberately alienate him, so he was worried that his identity would be exposed!

Chu Hong's eyes were cold, but the corner of her mouth was smiling.He raised Wu Yun's chin, "Then Yun'er will serve His Highness."

Wu Yun was stunned, Chu Hong had already held his lips, and he was willing to open his pursed lips, just like opening his stubborn forbearance!

Wu Yun hugged Chu Hong's waist with a murmur, and very actively stretched out his hand into the inner jacket.Chu Hong raised the corners of her mouth, put her arms around him and flew, and the two of them landed on the bed.Wu Yun had never been so active before today, Chu Hong narrowed her cold eyes.

The night was getting deeper, looking at Wu Yun who had already fallen asleep, pursing his lips, frowning tightly, Chu Hong was expressionless.After serving in the past, as a slave, he naturally couldn't stay in the prince's bedroom. This time he just vented and went to sleep, which shows how restless he is in worry these days.Chu Hong didn't wake him up, nor ordered someone to take him back to his own room.

Suddenly a black shadow flashed in and said something in Chu Hong's ear, Chu Hong replied, "Let him wait in the study." The black shadow flashed out.

Chu Hong got up, adjusted her clothes and walked out of the bedroom. There was already a person waiting in the study.

When Chu Hong walked into the study, the man bowed and said, "This old servant greets His Highness."

Chu Hong helped him up, "Your Majesty, you don't need to be too polite."

The two sat facing each other, and the person who came was Wang Yi, the old eunuch next to Emperor Chu.

Wang Yi was a little embarrassed and said, "It's the old servant's fault to disturb His Highness at such a late hour. I hope His Highness will forgive you."

Chu Hong poured him tea with a very respectful attitude, "The prince is too worried."

Wang Yi continued: "The old servant came here this time to tell His Highness that His Highness was not in the palace some time ago, so he probably didn't know about it. His Majesty was very happy when someone came into the palace to see His Majesty."

When Chu Hong thought that he really didn't know about this, who would want to enter the palace while he was away!

Wang Yi sighed, "Sure enough, Your Highness doesn't know about this matter, that's right, not many people know about this matter. His Highness just left the palace and the second prince entered the palace soon."

Chu Hong frowned, "Chu An?"

Wang Yi nodded, "The little prince is also here. I heard from the second prince that he is already two years old."

Chu Hong: "When will he leave?"

Wang Yi: "Three days before His Highness comes back."

He will come when he leaves, and he will leave when he comes back!Jialing City is thousands of miles away from the Imperial City, so he really came all the way here!Do you already have an heir? Is the father very happy!

Chu Hong: "Who else knows about his entering the palace?"

Wang Yi thought for a while, "In addition to Your Majesty, this old slave, there is also the one in the cold palace."

The queen knows it too!

"Eunuch Lao came here to tell you."

Wang Yi shook his head, "This old slave deserves it. I received a lot of care from Concubine Liang some time ago, and it's hard to repay it if I spend my whole life. I'm leaving now."

After Wang Yi left, Chu Hong went back to the bedroom and lay on the bed, beside Wu Yun who was breathing softly, looking at the ceiling thoughtfully.

The celebration procession set out from the imperial city in a mighty way, and the people on both sides of the street were kneeling to welcome them.On top of the nine-horse dragon chariot is the Emperor Chu, and the prince Chu Hong is riding a tall horse beside him, looking to the other side of the dragon chariot.As usual, on the day of the celebration, all the dragon heirs in the imperial city had to participate. In previous years, Chu Yu was on the other side of the dragon chariot.He always rides that white cloud, just as its name is gentle and docile.He has a completely different temperament from his mount, Lightning. His legs are crippled, and only such a docile horse is suitable for him.Thinking of Chu Yu's legs, Chu Hong lost her mind.

Chu Xiaotian seemed to have noticed his distraction, stretched his waist, and continued to lean on the cushion. "Prince, didn't you rest well last night, so tired?"

Chu Hong calmed down, "Thank you for your concern, my son is fine."

Chu Huang nodded and remained silent.There can be no inner palace servants and concubines at the harvest celebration, so the crown prince and the concubines and eunuchs in the palace did not appear.Moreover, the celebration team had to arrive before the sun fully rose. When Chu Hong left the palace, Wu Yun hadn't woken up yet.

When the team arrived at Huguo Temple, Yao Kong waited for a group of temple elders who had been waiting for a long time.As a symbol of the highest spiritual consciousness of the monastery, Liaokong stepped forward to greet the king.

Chu Xiaotian was on the chariot, his face was solemn and sacred, he clasped his hands together, "I'm sorry, Elder Kong."

Liaokong Amitabha said, "Please, Your Majesty."

Chu Hong dismounted and followed behind.Everyone came to the main hall, where the emperors of Chu from all dynasties were enshrined.The emperor of Chu, Chu Xiaotian, prostrated himself in incense, and the prince and other courtiers prostrated outside the palace.From the main hall, you will go to the Temple of Heaven, which is a high platform made of nine huge bluestones in front of the temple.There are incense burners, fruit tables and other prayer supplies on the stage. Only the king and a monk can go up to the Temple of Heaven. Naturally, the monk is empty.

The prince and all civil and military officials knelt down on the stage.

One day, the sun has risen to the sky, and the orange-red sunlight shines on the earth. The priest raised his hands to signal, and the giant drum with nine faces and two dragons was thumped. Heaven is just beginning.

Emperor Chu and Liao Kong climbed up to the Temple of Heaven. Emperor Chu personally lit and inserted three large red thousand-year-old incense sticks, straightened his clothes, knelt down, and kowtowed three times, and the audience did the same.

Liao Kong was wearing a golden cassock with a calm face.He unfolded the vermilion scroll, and spoke uprightly: God bless the great Chu and bless all people.Here is the founding ceremony, obey the will of God, and unite the monarch and the people.In the harvest season, the blessings of heaven are abundant, and there is no disaster.Grateful for the continuation of God's grace, I, the people of Chu, burn incense and kowtow to thank you, wishing to have it every year today, and to pay tribute every year.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone shouted and got up.The Emperor Chu picked up the golden spoon on the table, scooped out the five grains from the five grains and golden plates, and threw them to the audience, implying a good harvest and good weather in the coming year.

The Emperor of Chu went down to the Temple of Heaven with empty steps, the ceremony of praying to heaven was over, and the prince's three-day fast followed.

The Emperor of Chu and all the civil and military officials left the Huguo Temple, and Chu Hong moved into that meditation room again. Naturally, he would not do chanting or anything like that, but he could just sit quietly with his eyes closed.

Chu Hong has always disliked vegetarian food, especially the vegetarian food in the temple.The temple also knew about it, and in the past they only prepared steamed buns for him.The little monk knocked on the door and came in, bringing steamed buns and tea at the same time.Chu Hong thought that the monk had never even glanced at him when the ceremony was held today, and she felt a little unhappy after thinking about it, so she asked, "Has all the food in your temple been used up?"

After the little novice put the things away, Chu Hong didn't dare to get up when she asked the question. She knelt on another futon, bowed her head and replied, "We haven't eaten in the temple yet, we will only use it when His Royal Highness uses it."

It was sent to him first, the monks in the temple knew the etiquette, and it was worthy of the Huguo Temple.It's so empty, and he is a bit indifferent to him, the current prince!

Although the monk Chu Hong in the temple didn't recognize him completely, he came into the temple every now and then, so if he didn't recognize him completely, he would be familiar.Why did he seem to have never seen this little monk before?

"Are you new here? Why haven't I seen it before?"

The little monk lowered his head even lower, "Return to His Royal Highness, I am not new here, but I have been traveling and practicing for the past few years, and the Prince has never seen it before."

Chu Hong wondered, how could he be traveling at such a young age, seeing how young he is. "How old are you, and how long have you been in the temple?"

The little monk didn't answer right away, but raised his head and looked at Chu Hong in surprise.Only then did Chu Hong see his appearance clearly. There was a round ring scar on his round head, and his round face was full of flesh.The big eyes and long eyelashes are so cute when they blink.Seeing him looking at her so curiously, Chu Hong asked, "What's wrong?"

The little monk blinked and blinked: "I heard that His Royal Highness is very difficult to get along with, but I didn't know that His Highness would ask such boring questions."

Chu Hong touched her nose in embarrassment, who said he was difficult to get along with!Why is this boring question!Chu Hong put on a serious face, "You don't answer the prince's question and you gossip about it!"

The little monk pouted, "Oh, look at his expression, it seems that he is really difficult to get along with!" "My name is Yuankong. I am 13 years old this year. I have been in the temple for eight years and I have been traveling for five years. The master said that I will be 14 years old after the harvest and Daqing. Although I am not old, the time for traveling and practicing is quite long. Don't let me go out again."

Chu Hong couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic to him, and went out to practice when she was only eight years old.The so-called wandering is to go out of the monastery and travel around for alms and see the world, which can be described as eating and sleeping in the open.

For some reason, Chu Hong felt that Yuankong was very kind.Stretching out his hand to touch his head, the stubble of hair pricked his hand a little itchy. "Which old monk are you following?" He actually had the heart to go out and practice at a young age.

Yuankong was a little unhappy about what he said to the old monk, twisted his body, and broke his head away from Chu Hong's grasp. "My master is Elder Liaokong." He said proudly.

Chu Hong frowned. Sure enough, it would be no wonder if it was him.The man looked very merciful, but in fact he was very hard-hearted.

"Is it your master to say that I am difficult to get along with?"

Yuankong rolled his eyes, and said with a grin: "Of course not, my master got an eminent monk, so naturally he didn't say these words." He grinned, exposing a hole in his mouth.

Chu Hong held back her laughter, and was angry at him for protecting that monk, meaning that she didn't bother to say that about him if she said nothing.You little bald donkey, you still protect your master!

"Did you steal candy behind your master's back?"
