The young monk appeared again and looked up to see the elegant government office in front of him.
Countless sects, families, and dignitaries from the court rushed to see him off. The key person, Zhou Wang, stood at the door to greet him.
From early morning to dusk, from dusk to late night, the guests in front of the door never stop!
This place is now the most prosperous and lively courtyard in the entire imperial capital. The former palace of His Royal Highness King Chen is also the current palace of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Butler Zhou Wang had just sent away a guest and was about to return to the house to receive other guests.
But when he turned around, he saw the monk in the crowd out of the corner of his eye.
It's no wonder that housekeeper Zhou Wang would notice him, mainly because of this young monk. His back posture was as straight as a strong pine tree standing in the wind, and his jade-like face looked like a handsome young man.
He has the aura of an outsider and an indescribable aristocratic demeanor.
Even if he was standing in the endless crowd, even in front of the Prince's Mansion where all the dignitaries and nobles were coming and going, he was still so dazzling.
The chief butler Zhou Wang noticed the monk, and his expression changed rapidly. From the initial shock, he quickly turned into shock.
Then he hurriedly came to the monk and was about to bend his knees to salute, but the monk smiled and helped him up.
He lifted Zhou Wang up with a lump of his hand and a breeze, with a smile on his face, but still didn't say a word.
The chief steward, Zhou Wang, looked at him seriously and confirmed his identity, his expression filled with emotion.
"I really didn't expect you to come back to the Imperial Capital!"
The chief butler Zhou Wang sighed softly, and after a long silence, he spoke with a tone of extreme exhaustion.
The monk remained speechless and smiled.
"Please come inside." The chief steward Zhou Wang made an inviting gesture and welcomed the monk into the government office. "I will inform His Highness the Prince immediately!"
The monk smiled and shook his head, then turned around and left the government office without saying a word.
The chief steward Zhou Wan originally wanted to keep the monk, but he noticed the direction he was going with his eyes thoughtful.
After half a ring.
The chief steward Zhou Wang hurriedly came to the government office and waited for His Highness the Prince to finish receiving guests before entering to report.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sat in the study, rubbing his brows with a frown and sighing from time to time.
"If I had known that being a prince would be so tiring, I wouldn't have fought against you."
The third prince was sitting in a corner of the study. Hearing these words from His Highness King Chen, he couldn't help but laugh:
"Do you think it's really that easy to sit on the supreme throne of power in Chu State?"
The third prince laughed: "Do you think that as the Emperor of Chu, just like what is sung in the folk tales... drinking and having fun all day long and favoring the harem, it is enough?"
"It's not easy for an emperor in the mortal world, it's even harder for an emperor in the martial arts world, and it's even harder for our emperor in Chu."
There was no teasing in the third prince's words, but a sense of admonishment.
It seems to be telling His Highness King Chen that these things will not be less in the future, but only more, so that he can be mentally prepared.
At this time.
"Your Highness!"
The chief butler Zhou Wang walked into it and bowed in salute.
His Highness King Chen took a deep breath, cleared away the fatigue on his face, and asked the chief steward: "Who is here to visit again?"
His Highness King Chen knows that there have been many guests coming and going at the government office recently, but many visits from small and medium-sized families and sects can only be mediated by the chief steward Zhou Wang.
Only certain sects and families that cannot be solved by the butler Zhou Wang will be personally received by His Highness King Chen.
Now that Zhou Wang has come to report again, there must be someone important coming to visit.
Zhou Wang glanced at the third prince and hesitated to speak.
His Highness King Chen said: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
The chief butler Zhou Wang nodded repeatedly and replied: "Your Highness, Emperor Wuyan, the holy son of Kuchan Sect, just appeared outside the house!"
"What!"
His Highness Prince Chen was shocked, and the third prince's expression also changed slightly.
Lean less.
His Highness King Chen calmed down and asked: "Then where is he now? Is he in the government office?"
The chief steward Zhou Wang replied: "I wanted to invite him into the house, but he smiled and shook his head, and then left."
His Highness King Chen asked: "Where has he gone?"
The chief steward Zhou Wang replied: "I think the direction Holy Son Emperor Wuyan is going to should be the 'Great Ci'en Temple'."
Although the Chu State was founded on martial arts, it also respected Buddhism and Taoism. Both Buddhism and Taoism had palaces in the imperial capital.
It’s just that their “palaces” are called Buddhist temples or Taoist temples.
The closest Buddhist temple to Prince Chen's Mansion is the Daci'en Temple, and its abbot is also a disciple of the Ku Chan Sect.
If Di Wuyan comes to the imperial capital and doesn't want to stay in a prince's mansion or be implicated in too many worldly grudges, it would be a good choice to stay at Da Ci'en Temple.
"I see."
His Highness King Chen nodded and waved his hand to persuade the chief steward Zhou Wang to leave.
After the butler Zhou Wang leaves.
The third prince smiled and said: "It seems that after the news of you becoming the prince spread, he also heard it, so he was willing to return to the imperial capital."
"If I become the prince, I guess he will never enter the imperial capital again in his life."
The third prince smiled bitterly.
His Highness King Chen nodded and said, "I will go back to see him tonight. Do you want to go with me?"
The third prince replied: "It is only natural for you to go see him. After all, your relationship was so good back then."
"but I……"
The third prince laughed and asked His Highness Prince Chen, "Do you think he will be willing to see me?"
His Highness King Chen said: "After all, he is a member of the royal family, and he also understands the battle for the inheritance of the Chu royal family."
"Now that the heir apparent is over, he should understand that he can let go of those things."
The third prince's eyes darkened and his heart moved, but he finally shook his head: "Forget it, he should be very happy to come back to the imperial capital, so I won't spoil his interest."
His Highness King Chen tried to persuade him again and again, but in the end the third prince did not go together.
It is also.
His Royal Highness King Chen quietly left the Prince's Mansion with a few close guards and came to Da Ci'en Temple.
The Daci'en Temple has red walls and black tiles, and is filled with incense. It is brightly lit even in the middle of the night.
When Prince Chen came to the outside of the main hall, he heard bursts of Buddha chanting coming from inside. There were hundreds of enlightened monks sitting in the hall chanting sutras.
The sutras recited by accomplished monks in the hall seem to contain some kind of magic power that can cleanse the souls of warriors.
His Royal Highness King Chen was sitting on the steps of the main hall. Under the baptism of the Buddha's voice, he slowly put down all the worries and fatigue in his heart and fell asleep slowly.
When he opened his eyes again and woke up, he was already in the backyard of Daci'en Temple.
He lay on the stone table and fell asleep sweetly. In front of him was a handsome young monk, who was smiling and making tea.
