The favored imperial concubine

Chapter 184

Looking at the slender figure in front of him wearing a light pink Hanfu and kneeling in front of the Buddha sincerely praying for blessings, Yinzhen suddenly remembered that in March last year, when peach blossoms and orchids were in full bloom, he came to Guangji Temple to listen to Zen Master Huiming's lectures as usual When I was here, I also saw a beautiful woman in a light pink skirt sincerely kneeling here, offering incense and praying for blessings.

Yinzhen looked at the back of the woman in front of him, which was very similar to the woman in his memory. His sharp eyes scanned for a week, but he didn't find the familiar maids and guards accompanying him.

Yinzhen narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he knew that according to Nian Xilan's current noble status, he would never come to Guangji Temple alone, but he still couldn't hold back the desire in his heart, and walked forward involuntarily, wanting to He wanted to see if this woman was the Nian Xilan who had entered into his heart at some point and couldn't get rid of him no matter what he tried.

However, before Yinzhen could get close to the woman in pink, she saw her stand up, turn around and walk out of the hall. Although she looked pretty, she was not Nian Xilan.

Yinzhen frowned and sighed lightly, feeling a burst of loss and melancholy in his heart.Yinzhen lowered his head to think for a moment, and suddenly found that his mind was disturbed by Nian Xilan again, and he couldn't help but tremble, his deep phoenix eyes became more and more gloomy.

Yinzhen tried his best to get rid of distracting thoughts in his heart, concentrate his mind and meditate, worship incense and pray for blessings.Smelling the unique sandalwood of the monastery and listening to the monks reciting Buddhist scriptures in a low voice, Yinzhen's troubled heart finally calmed down gradually.

Yinzhen looked at the time, walked out of the main hall slowly, and planned to go to the meditation room where Zen Master Huiming lived in the backyard to play chess and gossip with Zen Master Huiming.However, Yinzhen had just walked out of the main hall more than [-] meters away, and when he was about to turn and walk along the path to the backyard, he suddenly felt something in his heart, and turned his head slowly, just in time to see Kangxi and Nian Xilan walking slowly side by side , Both of them had warm smiles on their faces.

Yinzhen was slightly taken aback, then subconsciously turned his head away, quickened his pace and turned around the detour to the backyard.It wasn't until he turned to an angle that Kangxi and Nian Xilan couldn't see, that Yinzhen gradually slowed down his pace, but his face showed annoyance.

Zen Master Huiming stood in front of the meditation room, clasped his palms together and recited "Amitabha", and said with a slight smile, "My lord has had a hard time on the road, and the poor monk has prepared some tea and vegetarian food for him. Please come in and rest your feet."

Yinzhen clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "It is a great honor for me to be able to gather with Zen Master Huiming and listen to Zen Master's lectures. Although the tea and vegetarian food are delicious, they are just icing on the cake. How can they compare with the wise words of Zen Master Huiming?" Charcoal in the snow!"

Zen Master Huiming welcomed Yinzhen into the meditation room, and the two drank tea and played chess, chatting a few words from time to time.Although there are not many words, every word is pearls.

In the Daxiong Palace, Kangxi saw Nian Xilan kneeling devoutly in front of the Buddha, with a solemn face, concentrating on meditation, abandoning distracting thoughts, offering incense, fulfilling vows, and praying for blessings.

Kangxi waited patiently at the side, never taking his eyes off Nian Xilan.

After a long while, Nian Xilan finished praying, got up and walked back to Kangxi, but saw Kangxi looking at her softly, and asked gently: "Lan'er spent so long praying, what exactly did she wish for?"

Nian Xilan blinked her eyes, and made a fool of herself on purpose, "It's a long story, and it's really hard to explain. I will tell the master in detail after I get home, okay?"

Kangxi looked at Nian Xilan's charming and lovely smiling face, and felt more and more affectionate in his heart.If it wasn't for being in Guangji Temple at this time, Kangxi would have already stretched out his hand to hold Nian Xilan into his arms, pestering her to tell the wish he just made in front of the Buddha.

At this time, Zen Master Juezheng, the abbot of Guangji Temple, saw Kangxi and hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects, but his words and deeds were very measured and did not reveal Kangxi's identity.

When Kangxi heard that Zen Master Juezheng mentioned that Master Huiming had just returned from his travels a few days ago, he couldn't help but feel happy, and suggested to Nian Xilan with great interest: "Zen Master Huiming is proficient in Buddhism and tea ceremony. Laner has always loved tea. Why don't we go to the meditation room in the backyard and taste Zen Master Huiming's Kung Fu tea, okay?"

Nian Xilan nodded happily and said, "It just so happens that I am a little thirsty, and I like Master's proposal very much!"

At this time, Yinzhen and Zen Master Huiming had no idea that Kangxi was coming here, and they were still playing chess and chatting at the same time.

Zen Master Huiming smiled and dropped a piece, and sighed meaningfully: "Although the prince's chess is a little faster today than in the past, he seems to be a little impatient and has lost the forbearance and calmness of the past. The prince's heart, It seems a little restless!"

Yinzhen was stunned for a moment, his face sank slightly, and his deep phoenix eyes showed a bit of unwillingness and worry, "Chan Master Huiming's Buddhism is profound and he has a wide range of good relationships. Every time this king meets with the Zen master, he can talk a lot from the bottom of his heart. Not only have I gained a lot, but I am also very happy. The Zen master has a calm mind and clear eyes, and he can see the recent confusion of the king at a glance."

Yinzhen paused for a moment, pondered his words in his mind, and then continued to speak slowly: "This king has recently met a very talented young man. He has both virtue and humility, and his thoughts and opinions on many things often coincide with this king. This king originally planned to introduce him as a confidant, but for some reason, every time this king sees him, there is a feeling of deja vu I feel that he is not like a friend who just met not long ago, but rather like an old friend reunited after a long time."

"A few days ago, this king even had an extremely weird dream. What happened in the dream was like this life, and there seemed to be many differences. In the dream, this king... once betrayed the relationship with him. The friendship of a close friend, did some things that hurt him, even indirectly ruined his lifelong ideals, made him die in depression, died young, and was only 29 years old when he passed away..."
