Chapter 464: The Great Monk (Ten Years Later)
Time flies
In the blink of an eye, the round little chubby dun has become a young man.
Of course, the top of the head is still bright.
In the temple for ten years, except for entering the palace on August 15 every year, he has not left Tanyuan Temple on other days.
Now I have been able to participate in the seven meditation sessions of Dong'anju.
Although he can't be the main seat yet, his understanding of the Dharma has gone a long way beyond that of ordinary monks.
The law has changed from a thin child to a muscular young man ten years later.
Although it is not enough to pass the eighteen bronze formations of the Warrior Monastery, it is not a problem to go out and deal with three or four military men who have retired from the military.
Usually, there are seven or eight farmers without pressure.
It is still satisfactory to have such results.
Finally, he can protect the safety of his master on his own.
Of course, Shiliu itself does not need his protection.
Although she recites sutras and practices Buddhism every day, she has never pulled down the physical technique for a day.
Of course, she has never shown her martial arts in front of everyone.
Oh, by the way, she sees her half-sister Liu Shuling more times a year than she sees the crown prince Liu Xian.
Naturally, a lot has happened in this decade.
For example, Du Qixuan really became the prince Liangdi as she wished.
Of course, Du Qixuan's life will be difficult this year, because this year, the crown prince Liu Xian is going to marry Hao Ningxue.
also because the prince is about to get married, Du Chongrong (after so many years, Du Jieyu has finally been promoted again) thought that his son was already fifteen years old, and if he hadn't become a monk, he would have chosen a woman to accompany him.
She was a little nervous in her heart, and wanted to find a time to probe the tone of Emperor Liu Yan.
As for what her son Liu Shi will think, she thinks that it is definitely better to be vulgar than to become a monk, so what is there to ask.
Shi Liu was somewhat clear about her thoughts, so he thought of finding an opportunity to talk to her about them.
By the way, I told the emperor Lao Tzu and the prince's brother about going out to travel after the summer residence this year.
The prince's wedding was in April, and Liu Shuling's birthday was two days after the prince's wedding.
Every year, her birthday is very lively, the emperor and Du Chongrong dote on her, not to mention, the queen and the prince are also very fond of her.
If Du Chongrong was born again as a prince back then, it is estimated that there would be no special treatment from Liu Shuling now.
Among all the princesses and princes, she was the only one who entered and exited Kunning Palace and the Lingxiao Hall where the emperor was located at will.
The prince is also very fond of this sister, and there is a courtyard exclusive to her in his east palace.
On this day, Liu Shuling ran out of the palace again, and came to Tanyuan Temple by himself with the palace people.
She felt that her brother was really good-looking, and his temperament was different from the people she saw on weekdays.
Even the monks in this monastery are different.
waited until Shi Liu finished reading a scripture before she spoke: "Fourth brother, I came here for my birthday this year, will you give me a good time?" ”
Shi Liu's tolerance for this cute sister, who is delicate but not willful, is quite high.
Therefore, he persuaded him: "Why did you want to come to the temple?" You can't get used to eating vegetarian food here. ”
That's right, Liu Shuling is still a carnivore, and vegetables are forced to clip two chopsticks every time.
"Two days before my birthday, the prince's brother just got married, how can there be the excitement of the past. Since it's not lively, just come here quietly and quietly. ”
"Whatever you want. Anyway, I won't do anything more than read the scriptures for you two more times. ”
Liu Shuling also nodded indifferently, and then suddenly thought of what his mother, Du Chongrong, said to Aunt Su Yue two days ago.
He tilted his head and stared at Shi Liu, and said, "Fourth brother, you are so good-looking." If you are really as vulgar as the mother concubine wishes, there must be a bunch of ladies who want to marry you. ”
"The mother wants me to be vulgar? Are you eavesdropping on people again? ”
Rolling his eyes angrily, Liu Shuling said dissatisfiedly: "What is eavesdropping, it's because they are talking too loudly." I'm just taking a lunch break. ”
After that, he couldn't help asking: "Fourth brother, do you really want to be vulgar?" ”
Shi Liu shook his head firmly and said, "Your fourth brother and I can't be vulgar in this life." I am a person who aspires to become a great monk. How can you go back to the vulgar and stain the red dust? You can go back and talk to your mother about it. ”
Liu Shuling wrinkled her delicate nose: "Hmph, I won't tell my mother." She's the most partial to you. If I said that, she would have scolded me. ”
After listening to her words, Shi Liu wanted to roll his eyes, Du Chongrong may be because Liu Shuling, a child, is by his side, and he really treats her as an eyeball.
Then Liu Shuling talked about something else: "The fifth cousin of the Du family is really interesting, she will always tell me some interesting stories, and she will cook me different delicious food." ”
"Although you are still young and expensive as a princess, you should also learn what you should learn. After all, you have to get married. You can't do nothing. ”
"I don't want you to worry about it. What do I need? As long as there are people around who can. ”
Shi Liu just wants to hehe, that is, you are a favored princess now, otherwise where would you be "free" now.
[She can't be happy for long, although she is only ten years old, but her reputation for being favored has spread far and wide. There are princes of other small countries who are playing with her. 】
Suddenly, when he heard Jiuwu say this, Shi Liu was really a little stunned.
looked at Liu Shuling, who was still childish in front of him, and asked in his mind: "Thinking about marrying her at such a young age?" ”
[The cost is small, but the benefits are many. 】
"The emperor won't be willing, will he?"
When this question came out, Jiuwu didn't bother to reply to her.
The first interest of the emperor is the national interest, and Liu Shuling is not the only daughter, who can exchange a daughter for the interests of the country, why not do it?
"Fourth brother, fourth brother! What are you doing in a daze, talking to you and ignoring me. Liu Shuling pouted dissatisfiedly.
Shi Liu stretched out his hand and pinched her puffed cheeks and said, "Fourth brother suddenly thought that there might be another explanation for a sentence in the Buddhist scriptures. ”
"You're too boring, aren't you? When you talk to me, you can think about the things in the Buddhist scriptures. Liu Shuling slapped his brother's claws away and rubbed his cheeks and said, "Next time, I'll bring the fifth cousin of the Du family over." She speaks with an interesting twist. ”
"Whatever you like." Shi Liu thought for a while and said, "Is the second brother coming here after his wedding?" ”
"You don't know, how do I know. Even if you want to come here, what if you want to come here? ”
"Then you can take your mother out. I want to explain it to her personally. I have my pursuits, my ideals. That's all in Buddhism. Without Buddhism, I am nothing. ”
"You are still my fourth brother, the fourth prince."
Shi Liu shook his head helplessly: "It's different." I just want to be a great monk with peace of mind. ”
