Rebirth after waste

Chapter 156

In the first month of the 24th year of Linqing, Gu Yunxian went to Da Ci'en Temple with the Queen to offer incense. During the period, he discussed Buddhism with the eminent monk Kong Hui, the abbot of the Da Ci'en Temple.

Empress Gu was very pleasantly surprised by this, and after returning to the palace, she talked about it, "Master Kong Hui seldom praises others, but today he has such a high opinion of you, Yun Niang, which shows that you are really a man of wisdom."

Gu Yunxian smiled, pretending to be humble.How could she tell her that she believed in Buddhism for most of her life in her last life, and she was immersed in scriptures all day long in the last ten years of her life, so she is naturally very accomplished in this respect.Showing this trick in front of Master Konghui today is really nothing.

After Empress Gu finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something again, and said with a smile, "Yun Niang, you're fine. I have also read some Buddhist scriptures with me on weekdays, and it's not surprising that I understand it. The strange thing is the prince. He used to be the least believer in ghosts and gods." Having said that, sometimes I watched me copy the scriptures, and I wondered how I could do such a boring thing with so much care. I didn’t expect that Ben Gong was chanting the scriptures a while ago, and he followed up with a few sentences after seeing it. It looks like I have read a lot of Buddhist scriptures."

Gu Yunxian was taken aback, "His Royal Highness is also reading scriptures?"

"More than just reading." Queen Gu said, "I saw that he was interested, so I took a few scriptures for him to copy, and he readily accepted them. Well, the palace staff sent the copied scriptures over yesterday afternoon Yes. Looking at the handwriting, it turned out that the boy did not help transcribe it, but he wrote it down word by word. I went to inquire about it later, and it was all silently transcribed. Those twisted scriptures, He got it all down."

Gu Yunxian looked in the direction Empress Gu pointed, and there were indeed several volumes of books. He picked up the top volume and opened it, and it was indeed Ji Xunjun's free and easy handwriting.

Her pink lips were slightly pursed, and she smiled, "His Royal Highness is pure filial piety, maybe His Royal Highness saw that his aunt likes it, so he followed suit, and he can chat with his aunt when he is free."

"Don't fool me with these words, I can see that the prince is really pious." Queen Gu smiled and shook her head, "You and the prince are a perfect match in this respect. They are obviously two young people , but they all fell in love with this pure and ascetic thing.”

Gu Yunxian's heart skipped a beat when he heard the word "perfect match", and his cheeks began to feel hot.

This was the first time my aunt brought her and Ji Xun together in a conversation.Does this mean that she has already started thinking about marrying him?

Ten days later, Gu Yunxian and Ji Xun met by the Taiye Pool in the palace.

It is the cold winter season, and the Taiye Pool is frozen, and the red plums are in full bloom beside the pool, which is too beautiful to behold.

Gu Yunxian was holding a plum branch in his hand, playing with it unconsciously, "There is something I wanted to ask you for a long time."

"What?" Ji Xun kept looking at her with a smile, and a plum blossom fell on her bun, which reminded him of the peach hairpin he gave him.To avoid suspicion, I never saw her wearing it in front of outsiders.He was regretting, but suddenly heard her words.

"You... When did you start believing in Buddhism?" She blinked and asked seriously.

Ji Xun was silent for a moment, then smiled easily, "It's been a long time."

"How long is it?" she continued. "Since...?"

The "at that time" she said was naturally each other's previous life.

He wanted to perfunctory, but seeing her looking directly at him, he had no choice but to nod, "En. It started from then on."

She believed in Buddhism because she lived again and began to fear ghosts and gods.Similarly, it is normal for him to believe in Buddhism after knowing his past.

After all, it is only by God's mercy that they can continue their relationship.

Thinking of this, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy, and the expressions of both of them were a little serious.

"Tell me, will we be able to stay together this time?" Gu Yunxian suddenly raised his head, looking at Ji Xun seriously with big eyes, "Nothing will happen to separate us, right?"

Ji Xun looked at her, "Of course." He held her hand, "This time, we will be fine."

His tone was firm, which made her heart calm down.After a while, she smiled a little embarrassedly, "Don't think I'm stupid, I'm just... very scared..."

"Why would I think you're stupid?" Not only was she afraid, but he was also afraid, "Actually, there is something I wanted to tell you a long time ago, but I just didn't know how to say it..."

"what's up?"

"This year's Shangsi Festival, I will meet...Jing Fushu..." when I went out on a spring tour." As soon as the words finished, Gu Yunxian's expression changed, and he quickly added, "I have decided not to go that day."

"Not going?" Gu Yunxian looked at him.

He nodded, "If I don't go, she won't treat me again... If it wasn't for marrying me, she wouldn't enter the palace to be selected, and she wouldn't be chosen by the queen mother as Princess Zhou. With her background, She should marry her seriously and live her future life." Looking directly at Gu Yunxian, he said seriously, "This time, we can avoid each other forever."

Gu Yunxian lowered his head and did not speak.

She will never meet Jing Fushu again, this time they will always be strangers to each other, and there will be no such entangled hatred again.

"This is really great." She smiled, "It's really great not to see her again."

She said two "yes" in a row, and she was naturally very satisfied.He also became happy, touched her cheek, and said softly, "Since it's so good, shouldn't you reward me?" The tone of his voice sank, a little seductive.

In the clear sky, Gu Yunxian was blushed by him.Taking a step back in a hurry, she said solemnly: "His Royal Highness, please continue to play here, and my daughter-in-law will leave!"

She turned around and wanted to escape, but he grabbed her back, "Why are you running?"

He hugged her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder, the tip of his nose lingered with an elegant fragrance, "You are so stingy. It's been so long, and you won't let me..."

"You...let go...." She struggled.Even though she knew that the place where they met was remote and there were people watching all the time, she still couldn't be so friendly with him when her name was still undecided... It was, it was a genuine affair!
"What are you afraid of?" He said slowly, "I don't want to now, but next year, it won't be..."

She covered his mouth and stared, "If you keep talking nonsense, don't even think about me coming out to see you again!"

He paused, "Okay..." Because her mouth was covered by her hand, his voice was muffled.

Feeling the hot air he breathed into her palm, she felt as if she was being burned, and she withdrew her hand.

Seeing her uncomfortable look, he decided not to tease her anymore.

"Actually..." He coughed, "I think, I'm done with Jing Fushu's matter, so you have to find a way to solve your problem... ahem, deal with it...."

Her eyes widened, and she immediately understood what he meant.

In fact, where did he need to remind, she had already thought of that person a long time ago.

Cui Shuo.

He once told her that he fell in love with her before she entered the palace, that is to say, he in this life had fallen in love with her long before she was reborn.She can't completely avoid this fate like Ji Xun, she can only try to solve his knot.

Both she and Ji Xun have started a new life, and it is not easy for him to suffer for her all his life.

Although she thought so in her heart, she was always trapped in the palace, unable to do anything she wanted.

"One more thing," he continued, "after I went to see my mother yesterday, she already mentioned to me about your marriage..."

She looked up in disbelief.

"It's a little earlier than last time, but the meaning is the same. She said that she thinks you are very suitable, and she will marry you after I reach the crown, so..." Eyes rolled, and there was a smug smile, "Ma'am, you You are going to marry me once!"

She stared at him blankly, and when she realized it, tears were already in her eyes.He held her face in his hands and wiped her tears. Although his movements were gentle, his eyes were full of teasing, "Because my husband knows that Madam has been looking forward to this day for a long time, it is natural to cry with joy... Blame me, blame me, if I can be useful, I can do it." It won't cause Madam to rush into this..."

He loves to take advantage of words, and she is used to it after so many years, so she is too lazy to argue with him now.

"I plan to help you and your mother ask for an order after the wedding date is set, so that you can move back home earlier." He said, "In this way, you can spend more time with your parents, and you can also find an opportunity..."

She didn't say what he said later, but she understood what he meant.

Find an opportunity to meet Cui Shuo, and then find a new way out for the entangled relationship between the three.

She nodded and said seriously: "I will, don't worry."

Not only for each other, but more importantly, for Cui Shuo to live well.

He took her hand and sighed softly, and embraced her again, "I really hope that tomorrow is the wedding day. I can't wait to see you in your wedding dress."

He exaggerated, and she couldn't help laughing, "It's not like I haven't seen it before."

"I've seen it before, but this time it's different."

Last time, he just regarded this as a marriage that had to be completed, it didn't matter whether it was or not, it didn't matter much to him what the person behind the plain white fan looked like.

But this time, he knew that he was going to marry the beautiful woman he had always wanted, and he wanted to hold her hand and be with her for the rest of his life.

Just thinking about it like this made his heart feel hot.

As if knowing what he was thinking, her expression softened, and she leaned docilely in his arms, enjoying the warmth of this moment with him.

"Ah, I suddenly remembered..." Gu Yunxian whispered, "Last time you saw Jing Fushu fall off a horse, so you rescued her. If you don't go this time, won't she... .”

Ji Xun stared at her blankly, and sighed deeply after a while, "Then let her fall. It doesn't matter if she's half dead or missing arms and legs, anyway, it's none of our business..."

She was dumb, and then chuckled, "Well, then let her go."

Anyway, it's none of their business.
