Chapter 173 It's Empress Yaoji
Zhou Chang also knew that this was the cause of the disease, but let alone the fact that Xiao Lan was a woman dressed as a man, even if she was really a man, it was impossible for the two of them to be together, so it would be better to find someone else: "Madam Shufei, is there no zither player in the world who is better at playing the zither and looks better than Xiao Lan?"
"Even if there is, where can we find it?" Concubine Xu Shu had obviously thought about it.
Zhou Chang has always been obsessed with looks, and he doesn't think the eleventh princess really loves music. He continues to guide her: "He doesn't have to be a good musician, but it's not difficult to find a young man who is more handsome than Xiao Lan. He doesn't even have to be able to play the piano. He can be good at piano, chess, calligraphy, or painting. As long as he is handsome, gentle, and can entertain the princess, that's enough."
When she said this, the figure of Wen Qingyan emerged in her mind, but Wen Qingyan was Yuan Qi's, so naturally she could not be introduced to the princess.
The word "handsome appearance" was emphasized twice, but I don't know if Concubine Xu Shufei understood it.
Concubine Xu was in a daze.
Zhou Chang had to use another "big move": "Madam Shufei, as the saying goes, heart disease needs heart medicine to cure, it would be best if Eleventh Sister came to make a wish in person, even if it's just to wish for a good husband like Xiao Lan. As long as your heart is sincere, it won't be hard to find one."
Concubine Xu Shu nodded: "Yes, Your Highness Prince Yi has awakened me with his words. Tomorrow, or the day after, I will bring the princess here."
After the two of them finished talking, Zhou Chang decided that it would be inappropriate for him to stay among the women for too long.
Just as he was about to leave, the eunuch outside suddenly shouted, "Your Majesty has arrived."
The originally noisy scene, where no one was chanting sutras, suddenly became quiet, and the women returned to their respective places.
The monks of Dafu Temple, who had not yet recovered from their surprise and shock, also stood up from their cushions.
Zhou Chang knew very well that Emperor Lin had heard the news and rushed over.
This is exactly the effect she wants.
The Emperor, accompanied by Zen Master Yuanjue, arrived in front of the altar and looked left and right, but could not see anything. He then asked Zhou Chang, "Ming'er, was it your prayer that was answered?"
"I don't know, but my belt is indeed missing. Master Shusheng was right next to me at the time and saw it most clearly." Zhou Chang acted cautiously and respectfully.
Shusheng was too excited just now. Although the tears on his face had dried, his eyes were still red. He bowed deeply: "Amitabha, Your Majesty, Master, I just saw it with my own eyes. Your Highness Prince Yi was so excited that he insisted on asking the Buddha to appear. As a result, the belt in your hand really disappeared all of a sudden. Your Highness had placed the belt on the altar seven days ago. It had been fine until now. As a result, the Buddha appeared today. It really, really..."
Shusheng's emotions, which had been suppressed, became difficult to suppress as he spoke later.
Zen Master Yuanjue frowned slightly, but he could not speak easily, so he could only say: "Amitabha, it is wonderful, please tell me in detail."
Then Shusheng calmed down and recounted the scene in detail. Everyone, whether they saw it at the time or not, listened carefully.
After hearing this, Emperor Lin turned around and asked Yuanjue: "Master Yuanjue, what do you think?"
"Amitabha, the Buddha has boundless power. His appearance here is a sign of your Majesty's great fortune." Zen Master Yuanjue did not hesitate much.
Emperor Lin seemed to be still unsure, and asked Zhou Chang again: "I heard that someone appeared in your dream? Is that why you are so sure that the Buddha appeared?"
Zhou Chang had prepared a speech in his mind: "Father, I had a dream about half a month ago in which a fairy appeared. At that time, I made a wish to the fairy in my dream, hoping that my country would be peaceful and the people would be safe, and that the war with the Mirage Kingdom would be a complete victory. As a result, the fairy said that my wish was too big and she couldn't help, but the Buddha could. She also knew that the palace was holding a 'coffin-pressing' ceremony these days, and said that as long as I offered something to the Buddha and made a wish, it would surely come true when the Buddha appeared."
"Hiss..." Emperor Lin took a breath, "So, your wish is to win this battle?"
"Yes, otherwise what other wishes can I make?" Zhou Chang said as a matter of course.
Emperor Lin then asked Yuanjue, "Master, in your opinion, who is the fairy lady that Prince Yi mentioned? Is this true?"
Zen Master Yuanjue seemed to have some doubts in his heart. He put his hands together and said to Zhou Chang: "Amitabha, may I ask your Highness, did the fairy lady say who she is?"
Zhou Chang looked ignorant and shook his head: "I don't know, I didn't ask, and she didn't tell me, but I can still remember clearly that her sleeves were fluttering, and her clothes were as colorful as seven stars, and they were glittering, just like the Big Dipper in the night sky, very beautiful."
When the Emperor heard this, his body suddenly stiffened. He turned his head to look behind the altar, at the golden nanmu coffin on the right side. In front of the coffin was the tablet of the late queen. He couldn't help but mutter, "It's you, is it really you?"
Zhou Chang felt that behind Emperor Lin, there was a pair of goldfish eyes as big as light bulbs, looking at her deeply.
But she had already taken care of so many things, and just tried to control her confused expression: "Who is it? What is father talking about?"
Fang She came out from behind Emperor Lin and whispered, "Your Majesty, Xu Zhen was a spirit from Lady Yaoji who appeared in your dream. This is a blessing for Da Lin and your Majesty."
“But, Empress Yaoji is a Taoist immortal, how could she…?” Emperor Lin cast a puzzled look at Zen Master Yuanjue again.
"Amitabha, Buddhism and Taoism are originally one." Zen Master Yuanjue sighed and closed his eyes without saying anything.
Emperor Lin nodded and said, "If the master also said so, then it is true that both the Buddha and Lady Yaoji have appeared."
"Amitabha." All the monks followed suit and chanted the Buddha's name.
Zhou Chang had never thought that the story she made up involved sectarian issues. He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. It was almost a waste of all his efforts. In his heart, he was very grateful to Master Yuanjue for his cleverness.
The Emperor Lin was very pleased when he finally convinced himself, and immediately announced: "Since this is the case, no matter what day it is, everyone in the palace can make a wish or offer sacrifices. In the days to come, I would like to trouble all the masters to bless us to have a long-lasting rule and peace in the world."
"Amitabha." All the monks responded in unison again.
Zhou Chang also took the opportunity to say, "Father, the Buddha and Lady Yaoji have also appeared and accepted the golden and jade belt from me. Then we will definitely win the battle in Lin State. Father, please do not be persuaded by those who want peace."
"Okay, Prince Yi is right." Emperor Lin smiled and said, taking off a string of shiny black beads from his hand and placing it on the altar, then he put his hands together and began to make a wish.
"General Manager Fang, why don't you take this opportunity to make a wish?" Zhou Chang leaned closer and whispered to Fang She to test him.
Fang She stood still, his eyes on his nose, his nose on his mouth, his mouth on his heart, as if he was in a trance, his thick goldfish eyelids did not even lift, "In this life, this old slave only knows how to serve Your Majesty, and has no other wishes."
Fang She answered like this, which means he won’t say any more.
Zhou Chang bowed his hands and said, "General Manager Fang is a man who knows how to enjoy a peaceful life."
Fang She remained calm, with an almost imperceptible curve at the corner of his mouth.
While he was speaking, Emperor Lin also fulfilled his wish and left.
In order to avoid further questions, Zhou Chang took the skinny monkey and followed the imperial carriage away. "Research will lead to discovery. If you persist in research, you will find something.
