In autumn, the mountains and forests are dyed with deep shades of yellow and red, and the leaves of the trees flutter like butterflies fluttering in the breeze. The road leading to Xiangzhi Temple is paved with good bluestone slabs, and the horse's hooves step on it, making a crisp clicking sound.

The tall and handsome young man, the girl who captivates the country and the city, constitute a scenery that everyone envies in front of the mountain gate of Xiangzhi Temple today.

The prince has nothing to do today, and it coincides with the common talk of Master Honghui of Xiangzhi Temple, and the vegetarian food of Xiangzhi Temple is very famous, so he took Su Yan to hang out here, and he can also see Master Hongzhi who has a deep understanding of Buddhism.

The little couple has been stuffy recently, they didn't take a car when they went out, and the guards generally rode horses, and they first went to the Xixiao Horse Farm to run a quick run, and when it was close to noon, they came to the Xiangzhi Temple. They were a group of 100 people, and the speed was not very fast, and they just arrived at the Xiangzhi Temple before lunch.

Master Honghui's vulgar preaching has always been very attractive, the cars in front of the mountain gate of Xiangji Temple come and go, and most of the people who get off the carriage are noblewomen with luxurious clothes. It is rare to see a young man as young as the prince, especially since there are so many of them, which attracted a lot of attention for a while.

The guards protected the prince and Su Yan in the middle and walked slowly. Xiangzhi Temple, Su Yan is not the first time to come, but it is the first time to see so many people in Xiangzhi Temple. She looked sideways at her husband, "Have you heard Master Honghui's proverbs before?" ”

Unlike the emperor, the prince has no feelings for Buddhism and Taoism, and he is not interested in the so-called mage's teachings, he shook his head honestly: "It's just a monk sitting on it and playing tricks, I don't have any interest in listening to it." ”

Su Yan smiled and asked, "Then why did you think of bringing me here?" Like the prince's thoughts, Miss Su is not interested in the so-called vulgar talk.

"What Ang Lee said, there are many women in Shangdu, and they all like to listen to Honghui's vulgar talks." Prince Road. He had long wanted to take Yan Yan out for a walk, but he didn't have time all the time, so he had a free time today, thinking of what Li An had said before, so he directly brought Su Yan over.

Su Yan said: "I'm really not interested in vulgar speaking, but the vegetarian food in Xiangzhi Temple is worth eating." ”

"That's right, it's noon now, let's go straight to lunch." The prince made a decision happily, he and Yan Yan should really be a family, and the things they don't like are the same.

Although the prince and Su Yan are lightly dressed, they can know that they are from extraordinary backgrounds at a glance. Many unmarried girls, peeking at the prince with peach blossoms on their faces, if it weren't for the fact that there were many guards around the two, they would definitely throw a lot of sachets and handkerchiefs at the prince.

Hou was a monk in front of the mountain gate, his eyes were very sharp, and when he saw the appearance of the two of them, he hurriedly greeted them, chanted Buddha in his mouth, and bowed, "The donor, please follow the poor monk." ”

Li An greeted him, and after returning the salute, he asked in a low voice, "Master Hongzhi is here?" ”

The monk hesitated for a moment and said, "The abbot is here, but he is teaching the princess of Pingjiang County about Buddhism, but I'm afraid it's ......."

What is the princess of the county, when she meets her Royal Highness and lady, she has to go to the back. Li An's eyebrows rose, and just as he wanted to speak, he heard the prince behind him say lightly: "Forget it if the abbot is not available." ”

The prince had spoken, and Li An had no choice but to give up, and said stupidly: "Find us a quiet and elegant courtyard, we want to be alone, not shared with others." ”

This is to ask others, and the monk will definitely say that the separate courtyard for pilgrims to rest is already occupied, and they can only share one with others. But according to his vision, the two little couples who were guarded behind by the guards, although they were dressed simply, but their bearing was extraordinary, they were not ordinary people at first glance, and they were not easy to offend, so they were busy laughing and said: "Yes, the donor, please come with the little monk." ”

The monk led the group through a large hall, turned the verandah, passed through a small door, and walked west for about half an hour to a quiet courtyard hidden among rocks and trees. "Donor, this guest house is very close to the abbot's retreat, and after the abbot finishes preaching the Dharma to the princess, the little monk will immediately come to ask the donor."

Li An took out the silver taels that had been prepared a long time ago and put them in the hands of the Zhike monk, "Send your best vegetarian mat over." ”

The vegetarian food of Xiangzhi Temple is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the vegetarian food for ordinary pilgrims is free of money. There are also three grades of vegetarian mats, depending on the sesame oil money you give. Among them, the best and most famous vegetarian mat, the sesame oil money has to be at least 100 taels of silver.

There are many wealthy families in Shangdu, and there are many wealthy businessmen, and vegetarian food with a hundred taels of silver is often in short supply. Like today, the Dharma master in the Xiangzhi Temple preached the Dharma, and many pilgrims came to listen.

Li An threw no more or less silver to the Zhike monk, just one hundred taels, and the Zhike monk knew how much he started, so he wanted to shirk it, but he saw a tall and big guard, inadvertently pulled out his waist knife, rubbed it on his body, and at the same time the big eyes of the copper bell stared at the Zhike monk. The monk was scared, and a layer of white sweat appeared on his body, and he suddenly felt that the silver in his hand was particularly heavy, "The donor sits down, and the little monk will go immediately." ”

When the crown prince and the princess dine out, they also have to pay attention to food safety. Li An glanced at the guards, and immediately walked out of the four people, and followed the monk out.

The prince didn't enter the house with Su Yan in tow, but only sat down on the stone bench in the courtyard. I don't take it, the tea sent by the monks in the temple has its own palace maids, boiling water to make tea on the side, and the utensils and tea and water used are all brought by themselves.

The top vegetarian mat of Xiangzhi Temple really lives up to its name, although it is vegetarian, but chicken, duck and fish are readily available.

Su Yan took a piece of vegetarian chicken, looked at its shape, tasted its taste, shook his head and sighed: "What is the difference between such a vegetarian meal and ordinary food?" ”

The prince swallowed the piece of vegetarian duck meat in his mouth and pursed his lips, "It's better to eat cabbage and tofu, this vegetarian is not vegetarian and meatless, and it is in vain." ”

Su Yan wrinkled his small nose, "Baiyin Wenyin, if you eat a belly of tofu and go back, we will die." ”

"When we leave in a while, I'll ask Ang Lee to get the silver back." The prince said of course. The monk should recite the scriptures and grab some business from the restaurant.

Su Yan covered his lips and smiled, "Qilang is not afraid of ......" Before he finished his sentence, he heard the sound of the guard's riding boots hurrying across the stone road, as if someone was running quickly from outside the courtyard with a group of heavily armed guards. Su Yan listened with a little doubt, and the sound of a heavy kick on the door sounded, followed by the sharp cry of the woman and the angry roar of the man.

The prince and Su Yan looked at each other, and at the same time listened attentively, and there were more and more noisy voices from the retreat room of Hongzhi, the abbot of Xiangzhi Temple, who had just been pointed out by the guest monk.

As early as the moment the voice sounded, the guards surrounded the two of them layer by layer, and their swords were unsheathed, and they were on alert.

Su Yanxiu frowned slightly, and said to the prince with a solemn expression: "It's Brother Pingjiang." ”

"King Pingjiang?" The crown prince immediately thought of the princess of Pingjiang County, who was listening to Hongzhi's lecture on Buddhism, and the bad premonition in his heart became deeper and deeper, and he looked at his guard commander, "Pingzhi, you take two people over to have a look." If the county king makes too much trouble, stop it a little. ”

The king of Pingjiang County led people to smash Hongzhi's retreat room, and the doorway in it was known by a discerning person at a glance.

The prince stretched out his hand to help Su Yan up, and said softly: "Yan Yan, it's a mess here, let's go back to the palace." "If it's really as he thinks, there may be something going on in this Xiangfang Temple, it's disgusting to think about it, how can it go on.

Su Yan got up according to her husband's strength and let him lead her out. A woman's terrible scream suddenly sounded, and its voice was so tragic that it was terrifying. Su Yan was so frightened that his body trembled, and the prince hurriedly took the person into his arms, stroked the back of the person in his arms, and slowly comforted, "Yan Yan, don't be afraid, the husband is here." ”

Su Yan leaned on the prince's arms, calmed down, and felt that the scream was very familiar, very similar to the princess of Pingjiang County who had met and chatted a few words. She suddenly thought that this pregnant princess was currently pregnant, her face changed, and she said softly: "The princess of the county is still pregnant." ”

The prince's face is black, the king of Pingjiang is his cousin, if the princess of the county is pregnant with someone else's child, and insists that it is the son of the king of Pingjiang County, then it is the crime of confusing the royal bloodline. At that time, let alone the princess of Pingjiang County, even her family will have to be implicated.

"Is it because of the pregnancy Dan?" Su Yan thought of it again, she had heard about the miracle of the Pregnancy Pill in the East Palace. I also know that this is a miracle medicine that circulates in the Xiangzhi Temple.

The prince had obviously heard of this miracle medicine as well, and he simply scoffed at such rumors. I thought it was just a monk from Xiangzhi Temple who came up with another trick to deceive people and make money, but now it seems that it is not so simple.

"Yan Yan, do you know how many people have used that so-called Pregnancy Pill?" The prince asked, tilting his head.

Su Yan shook his head silently, "I don't know, but the rumors are so widespread, obviously it's not one or two people." I heard that Princess Xin'an also came to beg. She bit her red lip, "Shichiro, let's hurry back to the palace, you have to go and tell your father about this." ”

The prince pondered for a moment, "I'm afraid that Daddy will be angry." "The princess of Pingjiang County is enough to be heartfelt, if you add Princess Xin'an, his father will be crazy.

"It's better to say it than others. If your father is angry, you can persuade him. ”

"Well, I'll send you back to the palace, and then I'll go to see Daddy." The prince's voice was low, and there was a deep anger in it.

The two talked as they walked, and the guards escorted the two of them to the secluded path, avoiding the crowd in the temple. Soon, the group went out of the mountain gate, the couple turned over on the horse, before leaving, the prince turned around from the horse, looked at the plaque on the mountain gate of the Xiangzhi Temple with deep eyes, and suddenly curled the corners of his lips to reveal an extremely sharp smile, before turning the horse's head and galloping away.
