Chapter 116: High Monk
Although the distance from Jiangfu to the palace was much shorter than that from Shangguanfu, Shangguan Che still got up early. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 What he didn't expect was that a steaming breakfast had already been set on the table, and Old Madam Tao and Zhen Huiyuan were already waiting for him neatly dressed.
It turned out that Mrs. Tao wanted to ask Shangguan Che what he liked to eat at breakfast last night, but last night because Jiang Yuetang was sleepy, he also ended the lecture early and went to sleep, so she didn't ask, so Mrs. Tao instructed the kitchen to make five kinds of dim sum, and made sweet potato porridge, millet porridge and mung bean syrup.
Shangguan couldn't help but be moved when he saw it, and said, "It's too rich!"
Old Madam Tao smiled and pulled him to sit down and said, "You are busy with political affairs, you should eat more and eat better." ”
She had unconsciously treated him as her own son.
Shangguan Che smiled and said thank you, the corners of his eyes moistened slightly.
When Shangguan Che was eating, Mrs. Tao asked him what he liked to eat for breakfast on weekdays, he smiled and replied: "The younger generation is more casual about eating, and the old lady will do it according to her usual preferences." ”
After Shangguan Che's experience of having dinner in Jiangfu during this time, he knew that Mrs. Tao was quite particular about eating, so she was very satisfied with the meals made by her own supervision.
The old lady did not agree, thinking that he was too polite, and insisted that he say a few things that he usually liked to eat.
Shangguan Che only reported a few things, all of which were very simple food.
Mrs. Tao gave up.
After breakfast, Zhen Huiyuan personally sent Shangguan Che out.
Shangguan Che was a little uncomfortable, but seeing that she was sincere, he couldn't bear it after all, so he sent it to her.
On the way to the door, Zhen Huiyuan asked softly, "Is Lord Shangguan interested in someone?"
Shangguan Che was slightly stunned, and then replied with a smile: "Not yet." ”
"On your terms, don't worry about finding a good one. Zhen Huiyuan said gently.
Shangguan Che groaned slightly, and said, "I'm afraid I don't have time to think about this matter in the recent past, so let's just let it be." ”
Zhen Huiyuan smiled and said, "I guess what Lord Shangguan is looking for should be a clear woman who has a thorough understanding of life and a common language with you, right?"
This was indeed the type Shangguan Che liked, so he smiled and nodded.

The Master arrived at the palace in the morning.
At this time, the stagnant water in the palace has been disposed of, and although the ground is still a little damp, there is no need to walk with a robe after all.
He came at the invitation of the emperor.
After meeting, the emperor informed him of the date of birth of himself and Liu Yaoying, and asked him to occupy the depth of his fate with her.
Then the mage raised his eyes to look at the emperor, and a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to perceive everything stayed on the emperor's handsome face for a while, and said with a light smile: "Your Majesty has a heart for this girl?"
The Emperor's face was hot at his question, but he nodded politely.
After all, there is nothing wrong with the mage asking such a question, let alone wanting to get an answer from him.
The mage looked at Liu Yaoying's birthday, closed his eyes and calculated for a while, then opened his eyes and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this person is blessed and wise, and it is extremely precious. ”
The Emperor felt a wave of excitement spread from his heart and flowed to his limbs like a warm current, and he couldn't wait to say, "Let's get to the point." ”
The mage's expression suddenly became a little solemn, and he said, "If Your Majesty wants to marry her, I am afraid that you will have to go through many twists and turns. ”
As if he had been poured from his head by a bucket of cold water, the emperor couldn't help but feel a pang of his body, but he immediately said, "What kind of twists and turns and obstacles?"
As long as she is not married, and he is not married, and both of them are also interested, the emperor does not believe that there are any difficulties that cannot be overcome. The only thing he was worried about now was her condition.
The mage understood, and said, "It's something worse than illness." With that, he looked at the emperor quietly.
The Emperor knew that he would not reveal too much information anymore, so he said in a deep voice: "No matter how big the obstacle is, I will never let go. When he said this, he had made up his mind in his heart.
The mage raised his head slightly and smiled at the young emperor.
He had already seen that the union of the two was very difficult, but of course he also saw the emperor's determination.
"A relationship, if it is easy to get, may not last long, just as the road without resistance is not worth walking. Bearing a certain amount of grinding for love is good for you, for her, and for the relationship. The mage said calmly.
These words of support and encouragement emboldened the Emperor, and he smiled at the mage.
The monk in front of him, who is about fifty years old and has a peaceful and detached temperament, has a kind of awe-inspiring predictability.
Looking at him, thinking about his words, the emperor's heart calmed down a little.
When you meet people in trouble, you can train your heart through experience, and the feelings you get after some setbacks will make people cherish it more.
The Emperor knew that in the soul of this high monk held the secret of absolute happiness, and that this high monk was better at perceiving life than most people. The Emperor had always believed in him, so he said in a firm tone, "Well, I will not back down. ”
The mage nodded, and then instructed: "In the case of everything uncertain, first be lenient and considerate, and then strive step by step." ”
"Good. The Emperor nodded convincingly.
Then the Emperor said, "I hope that you will also come to the ceremony of consoling the dead the day after tomorrow." ”
The Master replied calmly, "Okay, the poor monk will definitely be there then." ”
The emperor ordered Gonggong Liu to bring a bag of silver taels, a few pieces of cloth and a few bags of snacks to reward the mage.
The mage waved his hand and left, not wanting anything, as if he didn't want it, and as if he didn't want to be contaminated by this politeness to his original intention.
This monk who is like a mountain in the eyes of the people of Zhaoguo, he has a set of rules for doing things, and he cares about the ultimate meaning of things, rather than the interests and favors in the process.
The emperor closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then said to Gonggong Liu: "Drive to Ciqing Palace." ”
He wanted to tell the Queen Mother that he already had a candidate for the Queen in mind.
The Empress Dowager was silent for a long time after listening to his story.
Of course, she can understand the emperor's feelings for Liu Yaoying, but she is also soberly aware of Liu Yaoying's health problems.
The Empress Dowager took the emperor's hand, her eyes were as gentle as water, and her tone was as gentle as water: "It is still unknown whether her illness can be cured, and the Empress Dowager advises you not to make a decision in a hurry." ”
She went on to say, "Even if her mind and appearance are worthy of the throne of the queen, it is wiser in the long run to choose a woman of good health." ”
After all, this matter is not only about the feelings of the emperor, but also about the royal heirs.
