Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 189 Getting along (2)
At this moment, the palace servants reported that Chan Master Liaotong had arrived.

Empress Dowager Yu immediately asked Chan Master Jiang Liaotong to come in.

Guo Changxi wanted to avoid it, but the Empress Dowager said: "Zhan Master Liaotong is a well-educated monk, and there are so many palace officials and Aijia present, so there is no need to avoid it."

Guo Changxi was just putting on a show at first, but after hearing the rumors, she really stayed.

After Chan Master Liaotong came in, he clasped his hands together and proclaimed the Buddha's name, saying, "The poor monk has seen the Empress Dowager."

The Empress Dowager also clasped her hands together and saluted, and then said: "Amitabha, Master, please forgive me." Then she ordered the maids at the side, "Give the Master a seat."

"Thank you, Madam!" Chan Master Liao Tong didn't refuse, sat down after thanking his seat, and asked, "I wonder what kind of Buddhist scriptures the Empress Dowager would like to hear from the poor monk this time?"

"Zen Master, don't explain the Buddhist scriptures first, the Ai family has something to trouble the Zen Master." The Empress Dowager Yu said politely.

The smile on Chan Master Liaotong's face remained unchanged, his expression was serene but full of compassion, and he said slowly, "Please speak, Empress Dowager."

The smile on the Empress Dowager Yu's face became even wider. She glanced at Guo Changxi beside her and said, "Master, look at my niece. How does she look?"

Guo Changxi suppressed the excitement and nervousness in her heart, stepped forward immediately, bowed gracefully, and was about to express her admiration for Chan Master Tong, but heard Chan Master Tong put his hands together and sighed: "Amitabha, daughter As a benefactor and noble person, why do you need to do such a great gift to the poor monk?"

When Guo Changxi heard the words, she thought she was lucky because Zen Master Tong said that she had a noble life, and she was about to ask, but she was afraid that she was too eager to make the master look down on her, so she had to endure it for the time being, and looked at the queen mother with her beautiful eyes.

The Empress Dowager Yu was equally anxious, but she didn't have too many worries, and asked directly: "Master, is my niece really a noble person?"

Chan Master Liaotong said with a smile: "This female benefactor is Your Majesty's concubine, so she is a noble person."

When Guo Changxi heard the words, most of the joy in her heart disappeared immediately. Did the "noble person" in the words of Chan Master Litong just now mean this?

Empress Dowager Yu was also slightly startled, and then smiled and said: "I didn't expect Master to joke with people. The matter has come to this point, and I won't beat around the bush. May I ask Master, what is Guo Meiren's face like? Compared with Aijia, how is she?" how?"

Guo Changxi also looked at Master Tong.

With a smile on his face, Chan Master Liaotong observed Guo Changxi's face for a while, then nodded slightly and said: "The face of the Empress Dowager is of course invaluable, who in the world can compare to it?"

When the Queen Mother heard this, she couldn't help but frowned slightly, implying that Guo Changxi was no match.This point, the Queen Mother had already prepared in her heart, after all, not everyone can be as lucky as her.

She never thought that she would be able to be the empress dowager, if she hadn't become Emperor Xiande's adoptive mother, her fate would not be much different from other imperial concubines.

Empress Dowager Yu could hear the meaning behind Chan Master Tong's words. Guo Changxi was so smart, so she could hear it too, and her face immediately turned pale.But then she comforted herself that even if she was not as good as the queen mother, she would not be too far behind. Even if she couldn't be the queen mother, it would be good to be the queen.

After listening to Chan Master Tong, he said again: "As for the benefactor Guo, his face is naturally good. It's just that the poor monk wants to give the benefactor a sentence-'Don't have delusions, enjoy peace'. As long as the benefactor is content and happy, don't force anything, The female benefactor will surely live a safe and prosperous life."

Guo Changxi's face turned completely pale.

How could she not understand what the Zen master said?He is letting her be content with being ordinary, not to extravagantly ask for things that don't belong to her.

But how could she do it!

In the palace, if you don't climb up, you can only be trampled under your feet.What is contentment?Does she have to be ridiculed and groveling to others all her life?She can't do it.

The status of a mere beauty is far from satisfying her.

Hmph, it seems that Chan Master Tong is nothing more than that, and there are times when he is not sure.It is not up to others to dictate her future, and it is even more impossible for her to change her original intention just because of his few words.

Thinking of this, Guo Changxi slightly raised her head and said, "I understand what the master means, but in the palace, many things are out of your control. It's not that if you want to be mediocre, others will let you go. I won't fight for it." , others will fight for it, and my chances are even greater than others, so why does the master want to dissuade me instead of dissuading others?"

After finishing speaking, Guo Changxi bowed slightly to the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, my concubine feels unwell, so I will take my leave first."

Afterwards, without even looking at Chan Master Tong, he left with others.

Empress Dowager Yu was also a little uncomfortable, but she knew that Zen Master Liaotong would not lie. Since he said so, he naturally had his reasons. I am afraid that Guo Changxi really has no chance to be a queen, so she couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Still a little unwilling to give up, he asked: "Zen Master, my niece really has no life?"

He understood the Zen master but smiled and said nothing.

"Then she may have given birth to a dragon son?" The Queen Mother asked again.

"Amitabha." Chan Master Liaotong proclaimed the Buddha's name and said, "Queen Mother, people's fate is not fixed, and their faces are not completely accurate. You must know that fate is impermanent, and a little thing, even a thought, can change it." A person's fate. What I said to Benefactor Guo just now is just a little foolish opinion of the poor monk. Maybe, Donate Guo is a very lucky person, so I don't know."

The Empress Dowager Yu nodded, and felt that what Chan Master Tong said was reasonable. At the beginning, it was not that no one had seen her face, and no one said that she could be the Empress Dowager. It can be seen that sometimes the face is indeed inaccurate. Thinking this way With that, I felt relieved.

After Guo Changxi left from the Queen Mother, the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. The more others felt that she couldn't do it, she insisted on showing them.

Thinking of this, she turned around and went to Emperor Xian De's bedroom.

Not surprisingly, she was stopped again, but she didn't want to go back this time, and said, "I have to go in and meet His Majesty this time, and none of you are allowed to stop me!"

"What's going on here? How decent is it to be so noisy in front of the imperial court?" Yang Yong, the eunuch of Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies and the admiral of the East Factory, came out and reprimanded.

"Eunuch Yang—" Seeing Yang Yong, Guo Changxi had a hint of surprise on her face, and quickly asked, "Is Your Majesty in there now?"

Yang Yong cupped his hands at her with a smile on his face and said: "It turns out that it is Guo Meiren, so His Majesty is naturally inside. However, His Majesty will retreat and fast for six days, and no one will be seen during these six days. If there is nothing else, just tell our family, if there is nothing else, please go back early and come back in six days."
