PFC Chapter 230
Chapter 230
A pair of clear and bright eyes rolled around, and she looked around to make sure that there was no one else here except Master Qingning. Then the little girl raised her eyebrows and came out from behind the big tree.
If Zhu Yunhuan were here.
You must be able to call out her name: Yu Miao.
But she also has a real name and identity - Xu Miaojing, the third daughter of the late King of Zhongshan Xu Da and the sister of the current Duke of Wei Xu Huizu.
Xu Miaojin looked at the stone steps winding down the mountain.
He patted his chest lightly with a sigh of relief and said, "Huh... that damn guy is finally gone."
"Hmph! You sold me out without me noticing. You can clean up the mess yourself." He wrinkled his nose towards the bottom of the stone steps and snorted softly.
She was sent to the palace to be chosen as a concubine.
She was not happy at all.
First, the little emperor in the palace is really ridiculous.
The second is:
Just as she accidentally revealed her secrets to Zhu Yunhuan, an article in the newspaper that was not taken seriously by many people almost hit her heart.
Because his eldest sister Xu Miaoyun was a famous "female scholar" in Yingtian Prefecture. She was intelligent, knowledgeable, and good at housekeeping... As a descendant of a military family, she did not disgrace the family tradition and was able to both serve as a minister and ride a warhorse.
But this sister married Zhu Di, the Prince of Yan at the age of fourteen, and gave birth to children one after another, so her health was not as good as before.
This also made Xu Miaojin a little scared.
So when she heard that her family had actually sent her birth date and horoscope to the palace, she immediately ran away and came to Jingyue Temple to seek refuge with Master Qingning, an old friend of her mother.
Seeing Xu Miaojin like this.
Master Qingning shook her head helplessly and sighed, "Buddhist nuns don't tell lies. I have broken a great precept for you today..."
Xu Miaojin raised an eyebrow: "How did I break the precepts? How did I lie? When my eldest brother asked you, you only said that I was not in Jingyue Temple. You didn't say whether I was in Jingyue Temple before, nor did you say whether I would be in Jingyue Temple in the future."
"I wasn't in Jingyue Temple when you said that!"
Having said that, Xu Miaojin proudly twisted her little head, turned around slowly, and said, "Look, I'm standing outside now! Master, you didn't lie to my eldest brother at all!"
Master Qingning was also amused for a moment and showed a doting smile on her face: "You are always full of tricks, girl. But this statement is ultimately a trick."
She put away her smile, raised one hand, lowered her eyes and chanted the Buddha's name: "Amitabha."
Xu Miaojin stepped forward, took her arm, and said soothingly, "Alright, alright. You didn't lie, did you? Besides, didn't the nun tell Miaojin before that even though Buddhism emphasizes the Five Precepts, the Ten Virtues, and the Eightfold Path, it can still offer some flexibility when necessary?"
"If you really feel bad about it, then tell the Bodhisattvas and the gods. That's opening a door for me. Could it be that the nun is willing to let me marry that tyrant emperor?"
"The late emperor was already indulging in pleasure while his body lay in state at the Qianqing Palace. How could such an unfilial person, obsessed with pleasure, possibly be a good match?"
"Marry him? I don't want to!"
"Nun Tai and my mother were close friends. Nun Tai wouldn't want my mother to be sad and upset after seeing how miserable I've been, right?"
Xu Miaojin shook Master Qingning's arm and consoled her with a smile.
Master Qingning was speechless for a moment: "I can't argue with you."
After a second thought, she spoke to Xu Miaojin with a worried look on her face, reminding her, "I've already excused you from this matter, so I'll let it go. There's just one thing: you must be extremely careful with your words and actions. No matter what the new emperor's moral character is like, you can't keep mentioning the word 'tyrant'."
"Today, I am here, and it is enough to be quiet and away from people."
"But if you make it a habit to speak without restraint, if you let something slip in public and someone takes advantage of you, you could end up getting killed."
