Chapter 170: Ye Zhiqiu
85_85256 Xi Zhen originally thought that she would not be able to resist seeing Chu Zihou in the past few days before she got married, but when she thought of preparing a big gift for Ye Zhiqiu and she couldn't think of what to give, she decided to ask Chu Zihou.
To be honest, she actually wanted to see Chu Zihou from her heart, and the closer the two got to each other, the more she wanted to see him, to see if he was as nervous and excited as she was.
She hadn't slept well for several nights, and she felt that she had to meet him today no matter what, maybe she would have a good night's sleep tonight, so she specially entered the palace an hour earlier than in the past, calculated the time to retreat from the dynasty, and waited in the pavilion where Chu Zihou had to pass.
She was afraid of being bumped into by other ministers, so she turned her back to the intersection, but her eyes looked sideways from time to time.
When the time came to retreat, the ministers walked out of the court hall in groups, and Shen Xizhen's mood suddenly became nervous, and he hurriedly tidied up his hair and clothes.
The morning sun shone into the pavilion from the east, and she looked sideways at the side of the road, waiting for the familiar figure to appear.
Suddenly, she felt the sunlight behind her be obscured by a shadow, and then a gentle voice sounded: "Are you waiting for me?" β
Shen Xizhen immediately turned around happily: "Zihou ......" Before he finished speaking, he was so fascinated by his dark and clear eyes that he couldn't speak.
Chu Zihou smiled and asked, "Something?" β
Shen Xizhen nodded: "Yes." β
Chu Zihou then took her hand and ran.
"Where are we going?" Shen Xizhen hurriedly asked, but his feet unconsciously followed him.
"Find a place where no one is and talk slowly." Chu Zihou said. The hand holding her tightened a little tighter.
Turning left and right, passing through the courtyard, the two came to the Yangxin Pavilion located on the west side of the palace, which is the place where the Queen Mother rests, and then the Queen Mother passed away and has been vacant.
Here pavilions, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water. The environment is very peaceful.
Chu Zihou pulled her to sit down on a stool behind a rockery.
"Ah Zhen, I haven't seen you for a few days, I miss you so much." Chu Zihou looked at her and said in a deep voice, holding her face and kissing her.
Suddenly, the lips and teeth were entangled. The tossing and sucking made her whole body soften unconsciously, and she put her arms around his waist without caring about shyness.
After a mesmerizing kiss, he gently let go of her and said, "Say it." Ah Zhen. Didn't you say you had something to do with me? As he asked, he couldn't help but kiss her smooth forehead again.
"Ye Zhiqiu, the crown prince of the world, is about to visit Xi Kingdom and is ready to attend our wedding by the way. Because the last time I visited the world, I was received like relatives by them, and when I left, I received a jade carving of a couple made by himself. I thought about taking advantage of his visit this time to send him a gift, what do you think should be given? Shen Xizhen looked at him tenderly and asked.
Chu Zihou smiled and stroked her head, and said, "Isn't the world advocating Buddhism?" Why don't we ask a craftsman to make a jade Buddha and give it to him? At that time, I will go and ask the Yunkong Elder of the Wanguo Temple to open the light. β
It's a great idea! Shen Xizhen said in his heart, secretly scolding himself for not expecting it.
So Shen Xizhen nodded hurriedly and said, "Good idea!" So let's make a statue that is neither too big nor too small. First, it is convenient for him to carry on the road, and secondly, it looks like it is enough. β
"Okay. Let's make it the height of a ten-year-old child, right? "Chu Zi Houti yì.
Shen Xizhen nodded with satisfaction.
The two of them then held hands and left the Heart Cultivation Pavilion.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Five days later, that is, three days before the wedding of Shen Xizhen and Chu Zihou, Ye Zhiqiu and his party came to Xi Kingdom.
Emperor Guangzhao, Empress Gina, Chu Zican and his wife, Chu Zihou, Chu Ziyao, Shen Xizhen and the left and right prime ministers personally went out of the palace to greet them.
After nearly a year of not seeing, Ye Zhiqiu looked a little calmer than before. And his gaze is still quiet and warm, and with his excellent appearance, he looks more and more elegant, making people unable to take their eyes off.
In everyone's mind. Most of the royal disciples are relatively arrogant, but the corners of Ye Zhiqiu's eyes and eyebrows are full of warmth. He was only in his early twenties, and it was really unexpected that he was so gentle and elegant. Therefore, everyone unconsciously admired him.
If the girl who is pregnant with spring meets him, she may have to suffer from lovesickness.
Excellent and sophisticated like Chu Zihou, I couldn't help but feel shocked when I saw him.
Ye Zhiqiu saluted everyone one by one, with a gentle smile on his face, his posture was dignified and generous, and his handshake was calm and powerful, which made people impressed. When it was his turn to salute Shen Xizhen, the smile on his face became even stronger, and his eyes stared at her motionlessly, as if asking, "How are you doing this year?" β
Shen Xizhen didn't dare to look directly into his burning eyes, for fear that he would be melted by his gaze. She remembered the way he looked at her on that visit to the world, and it was also as affectionate as now, as if he had a thousand words to say. She remembered the letter he had written to her, the thoughtfulness between the lines, the lemonade he had prepared for her, the attention he had given her differently, and the look of pain on his face when he learned that she was engaged.
He had asked her to tell him about her fiancΓ© Chu Zihou, he was very curious about what kind of person the man who could move her heart would be, could he come this time just to see Chu Zihou?
Shen Xizhen couldn't help but glance sideways at Chu Zihou, and found that he was looking at her and Ye Zhiqiu, the expression on his face was a little vigilant and a little emotional, and it was a little complicated and indescribable.
Is this guy jealous? Why does it seem a little sad? Shen Xizhen said in his heart.
But it stands to reason that Ye Zhiqiu should be jealous, right? Shen Xizhen wanted to laugh a little, but the sense of happiness in his heart was even stronger.
In order to dispel Chu Zihou's doubts, Shen Xizhen made a gesture of invitation to Ye Zhiqiu, and Ye Zhiqiu hurriedly withdrew his gaze and walked towards the living room.
"Since returning from bringing tens of thousands of Buddhist scriptures from your country and Gan country, we have built a total of 30 temples across the country, and invited many reclusive monks and great masters to preside over them, and now the total number of monks and nuns is nearly 500." Shen Xizhen introduced to Ye Zhiqiu.
Ye Zhiqiu nodded again and again.
"And the temple will also recruit disciples once a year, so I believe that the number of monks in the Xi Kingdom will reach 3,000 in less than three years." Shen Xizhen said again.
"Well, the number of people is not large, it is good to develop steadily." Ye Zhiqiu said.
"In addition, I would like to ask you about the know-how of cultivating and managing monasteries, and I think your country has done a particularly good job in this regard." Shen Xizhen said again. while beckoning him to sit down.
"No problem, I will write down the main points for you one by one, and in addition, you can also bring some monks to observe and study the next time your country visits our country."
"Okay, thank you, Prince!" (To be continued)
