The empress is naturally shameless, since the time of the emperor, she has not been shameless.

For her, there is no psychological burden for her to trick a child into treating her to dinner.

It's just, Your Majesty, can you put away this playful look?

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty." The female officer straightened her face, stepped forward to salute, and began her singing, "The king is the most important artifact, the largest in the world, and the majesty of the sky, and the rest of the world forever." However, if you don’t think about abstinence from extravagance, if you don’t live with virtue, if you are overwhelmed by your desires, it will be the beginning of perdition and disaster.[1]”

When the courtiers chanted the first word, the empress couldn't help but hold her forehead and covered half of her mouth with her fan.

"Tang Aiqing, I know." The empress waved her hands again and again, and the female official responded solemnly, unmoved.

Stop reading, stop reading, Master!

"See you next time. I invite Xiao Lang to dinner." The empress finally pinched my face and walked towards the female officer.

Meeting the empress was just a small episode, although Father came back to find out afterwards, he was frightened to death: he was afraid that the three of us would have an accident, and he was also afraid of accidentally bumping into His Majesty.

"Your Majesty is a mild-mannered person, and everyone says that there is nothing wrong with children's words. How can you be offended by a few children?" A Niang shook her head and smiled, opened the tea cover and sipped, and then praised me, "Besides, my son did nothing wrong , Saburo knows how to adapt to changes at a young age, which is really good."

"No matter which house we go to in the future, my Saburo will have a good life." But Erlang... was so innocent that it made her worry.

As if struck by lightning, I instantly thought of an inevitable thing——

When I grow up, I always want to marry... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Leaving aside the question of me being a good husband and father in the backyard, is that the problem?The problem is that I don't want to get married at all, let alone have children.

But the reason for traveling must not be told to my parents, otherwise Sa Yuanqi and Gao Chen will only think that I am a demon, and they have to tie me to the temple to exorcise the evil.Wait, in the temple, the underworld god...

I looked at the amulet tied on my belt. My father specially prayed for it from the temple. It was a small brocade pouch with "Six Paths Bodhisattvas Compassionately Saving the World" embroidered on the front and "Nine Nether Ghost Kings Subduing Demons and Protecting the Dharma" on the back, satin gold. Silk, very attentive.

If you don't want to get married, there is a ready-made place to go.

Since ancient times, ascetics do not get involved in mundane affairs, and become monks, Taoist priests, or temple priests, so they can avoid secular marriages.

Qingyun Palace, Mercy Temple, or Mingzun Temple are all available to choose from, but out of a certain psychology, I still focus on the last one, and I also want to see how Zhuohua and Ghost King are doing in the underworld?

The golden body in the main hall is, after all, just a man-made clay sculpture.

And I don't want to worship wood and stone, I just want to see old people.

It’s just that this goal still cannot be clearly stated to parents. After all, if a five-year-old child suddenly says “want to become a monk”, the parents will either laugh it off and ignore it, or they will be shocked and dismiss his idea.

Only slowly map it.

Since I was five years old, I have been obsessed with going to temples with my father to worship gods.

Every time I was very devout, I begged to stay after praying, and I wished to see the old temple.

"When I saw Mingzun, I felt happy, as if I had seen it before." I smiled "innocently" at Lao Miaozhu.

Oh, I have seen it, I see it every day.

My current face has inherited Gao Chen's good genes, with white lips and red teeth, plus I am still young, no one would say "what a handsome young master" when I see you.

The god of the underworld turned into a man to cross people, so most of the gods of the temple are men. The old temple priests became a monk at the age of ten. Naturally, they have no children. Now they are more than 50 years old, and they look at me with the kindness of elders. .

"Unfortunately, if..." He stroked the two buns.He hesitated to speak.

I know what he is sighing.

Although in the eyes of gods and Buddhas, all living beings are equal, but the temples served by monks since childhood are all ordinary people whose families cannot live in poverty.

The family members of officials believe in faith, but they will not allow their children to become monks and endure hardships, especially the royal family. No matter how obsessed with seeking Buddha, it is just a small Buddhist hall at home.For example, Prince Qing Rong, the youngest brother of the late emperor, was obsessed with Taoism and refused to marry. In the end, he failed to become a Taoist temple, and now he is practicing Taoism in the palace.

In fact... that's okay, as long as you don't get married, you can talk about anything!

I thought about it carefully. Actually, there are many ways to force parents to agree, but each method will hurt Sa Yuanqi and Gao Chen.

So, when I was 14 years old, I finally chose to have a showdown with my parents——

"I want to serve Mingzun. I asked for my life, and Wanwang's father and mother agreed."

The father and mother looked at each other, and they both saw sadness and helplessness in each other's eyes.

"I'm not surprised that Sanlang said that." In the end, it was Sa Yuanqi who spoke first, and she persuaded in a deep voice, "A few years ago, your father told me that the old Miaozhu of Mingzun Temple loved you very much. It’s just that it’s not easy to talk to us. At that time, we expected this day.”

"Over the years, we thought that taking you out and making more friends might make you change your mind."

I knelt in front of them, silently, bearing the disappointed eyes of the other party.

I would rather face a hundred thousand evil spirits than see the sadness and self-blame in their eyes.

But, I'm sorry, I'll be fifteen next year, and according to the Lang Dynasty's practice, it's time to discuss marriage as an adult.

The eldest brother Sa Qi married two years ago, and the young girl Cheng Song married to An Lehou had a son last year. Not long ago, there was news that she had another black bird egg.

The second elder brother, Sa Jin, is now fifteen, and has also appointed the eldest daughter of the left servant of the Ministry of War. She will only wait for three matchmakers and six hires, and she will marry after a year.

So, my father's attention was all on me, attending various banquets every day, looking for a young lady of the right family.

Two days ago, when my elder brother went home to visit relatives, I accidentally heard them discussing there, saying that I have a stable temperament, but I don’t like to compete with others, and I am a bit lazy. Bully.

"I heard from the wife master that the Hanlin Academy is the most noble. Although many people come from mediocre backgrounds, they have a very good future. Their families are simple and there are no slaves to make things difficult. If Sanlang marries in the past, in the name of the clan, his in-laws will also have to respect him." a bit."

Brother, have you heard of Phoenix Girl?

"That also has to be of good character, and nothing else matters."

Dad, you've obviously been persuaded, haven't you?

After listening to this conversation, I couldn't sit still anymore. If I don't apply to become a monk, I will really get married!

Seeing my resolute attitude, A Niang just sighed, but A Dae stood up, with a unwilling tone: "I am a good boy, why do you want to become a monk? Mingzun must be short of my son's blessing! If I had known this, I would have You shouldn't take Saburo to the temple, let alone pay homage to Lao Shizi's god!"

Good guy, my father was so angry that he couldn't choose what to say. He couldn't bear to blame me and started attacking gods and Buddhas.

"Father...has nothing to do with Mingzun, it's just that I have a heart for Taoism." That's strange.

I knelt forward a few steps, held my father's hand, looked up at him, and said: "Life is only a hundred years, birth, old age, sickness and death cannot be escaped, at the end of life, the lamp goes out, descends to the land, and then enters reincarnation, without beginning and end."

"I don't want to do that."

This is an old saying, not like a 14-year-old boy can say it.

However, looking at the young man's unwavering gaze, Gao Chen knew that nothing could be changed, and he couldn't stop it.

His youngest son is the best to persuade, but also the hardest to sway.It is easy to persuade because Saburo has a free and easy temperament and doesn't like to fight with others.It seems that it doesn't matter; it's hard to shake because once you make up your mind, even if the gods and Buddhas come to the world, you can't let him change it.

"It's not necessary to go to Mingzun Temple... It's also fine to clean up at home."

As soon as I heard this, I knew he had backed down, and immediately said with a smile: "I listen to Dad."

Gao Chen said angrily: "You listen to me? Why did you listen to me!"

My mother quickly stretched out her hand to stop her: "That's all, Ah Chen, the child is still young."

How young is 14 years old?Aniang, you have great potential as a bear parent.

Purification at home is not just a matter of casual talk, the imperial court also has regulations on this: it is necessary to go to the temple to learn from a teacher in order to be recorded as a lay disciple.Temple blessings are stricter, and disciples are required to live in the temple for ten days every month to participate in various ceremonies.

My father complained that after the apprenticeship, he still set up a special room for me and invited a half-meter-high statue of the underworld.

Even after so many years, seeing the big faces of Zhuohua and Hanyue, I still couldn't help the corners of my mouth twitching.

Four years later, there was no waves and waves, and everything was safe.

Just when I thought that I could fish in this world until the end of my life, an edict from His Majesty was like a bolt from the blue——

The palace officials who delivered the decree read a stick of incense, and I also knelt behind my parents for a stick of incense, and finally understood what the Empress meant.

To put it simply, Your Majesty has heard my name of filial piety and gentleness for a long time in the palace, and yearns for it, and because the knees are empty, there is no concubine daughter, and you need a man with a good family background, a good character, and a good appearance to spread his branches and leaves, so he specially hired me Enter the palace and set off in three days.

Me: ... people sit at home, and the pot comes from the sky.

After receiving the imperial decree, my mother secretly handed the imperial edict a small kit, which was light and fluffy, and the palace official smiled a little more sincerely, which meant that it was a silver ticket.

"Don't disturb Sa Shangshu, it is a blessing to have the young master enter the palace."

Do you want this blessing?

"However, it's not a general election now, not even a minor election..." My mother worried, "I'm afraid the palace rules will be broken."

"It can't be broken," the palace man curled his lips, "Let the son enter the palace and temporarily live in the emperor's harem to be married. After the betrothal ceremony is completed, the son will be a legitimate servant of the emperor."

These words revealed two pieces of information: first, the Queen probably also wanted me to enter the palace; second, I was hired by His Majesty, not a draft pick.

Unless the first conferment is the second-rank monarchy, let alone let the empress be hired, she is not even considered a master in the harem, at most she can be called a "little master".

The second grade is already the master of the first palace.

He has been on the throne for 18 years now, and there are more than a dozen people including the empress, the emperor, the virtuous, the two princes, the best bridesmaid, the bridesmaid, the noble, the beauty, the servant, and the male.

If there are many people, at least it is not as absurd as the 300 people in the harem of Emperor Langxi's Ye Yu eighteen sons; but if there are few people, almost twenty people can join five tables of mahjong.

At the beginning, Emperor Taizong Zhaoye had a pair of people throughout his life, and the successor Renzong also had only one queen and one noble king.

Not to mention so many princes and attendants, it took 18 years of hard work to produce two princes.

So, 25, are you not good enough?

Regarding the matter of not having a female heir, the officials were very worried, and since five years ago, they have raised this matter in the court every now and then.The crown prince was uncertain, and the subjects of the world were uneasy, so they begged the empress to either find more servants of the emperor, or just adopt one from the clan.

But the empress said, I am only 32 years old, at the age of the prime of life, and I am usually free from illness and disaster, so you are rushing to curse me for not having a daughter, and curse me for sudden death?Ah bah, I'm just a daughter of the successor clan!

When the palace servant who passed the decree left, my father protected me and said angrily to my mother: "Since ancient times, the same surname has not been intermarried. Although the wife is an adopted daughter of the clan, she is also of the same root and blood. How can Your Majesty and the Queen be so discordant?" Pay attention!"

In a hurry, my father even scolded gods and Buddhas, not to mention the empress who has been famous since she was a child.

He was so angry that he didn't call "madam", but directly called "wife master".

"What's the matter?" Dad smiled wryly, "Back then, Emperor Cheng forcibly called his son-in-law into the palace, and his daughter was furious to death."

What kind of Tang Xuanzong (female version) plot is this!Tactical back!

To put it simply, in a feudal society, when the emperor didn't want to be a human being, he/she could really not be a human being.

"But it's alright, why are Your Majesty and the Queen..."

My mother's face darkened, and after a long time, she slowly said: "Although I am a clan, I am also a foreign minister. It is not convenient to inquire about the affairs of the inner court, but you can ask An Lehou. Do a beauty inside."

My father nodded and said firmly: "I will send a letter to Da Lang tomorrow."

On the second day, Brother Keli sent back a secret letter——

The queen and the emperor are in conflict, and the emperor got a black bird egg in the first ten days.

Oh, the case is solved.
