32. Princess Jiang of Xing

There is Yixing Prince's Mansion in Anlu Prefecture, Huguang. It is located east of the Han River, close to the street of Dukou. The Prince's Mansion occupies a small area but is extremely exquisite. It is the residence of Zhu Youze, the fourth son of Emperor Xianzong of the previous dynasty.

Although Zhu Youze has passed away for more than a year, he is still in the filial piety period, so everything is still the same. Therefore, the prince Zhu Hougui has not yet been awarded the title.

At this time, Zhu Houcan was practicing calligraphy in the study. Zhu Sanmei was studying aside. Suddenly, a sentence came from outside:

"Little Prince, Princess Yong'an, there is a young man outside leading a woman and saying that he is looking for you. He was originally going to report to the princess, but now the little prince is at home, so the young man will inform you first."

Zhu Houcong said to the outsider:

"Uncle Jiu, don't bother the princess. Since Xiao Wang is at home, let Xiao Wang handle these matters."

It turns out that Zhu Sanmei was named Princess Yong'an. This Jiu Uncle is naturally not the real Jiu Uncle Zhu Houzhao. She is the housekeeper of the royal palace. She has served Jiang Bin in another restaurant before. Her real name is Lu Jiu. Because she is older, people in the royal palace are used to calling him Jiu Uncle.

When Uncle Jiu came in, Zhu Houcan lowered his head and practiced his words and asked Uncle Jiu inadvertently:

"What does the person coming look like?"

Uncle Jiu replied:

"The man in front has a melon-shaped face, neither big nor small eyes, a slightly dark complexion, and is dressed in blue. He looks like he is sixteen or seven years old."

At this time, Zhu Sanmei, the princess of Yong'an, immediately smiled happily and said:

"Isn't this just that I don't forget my brother? I'll go out to find him now."

Before his brother Zhu Houcan could speak, he ran out and disappeared.

When the third sister came to the door, she saw that there was an Emei female disciple next to Du Buwang, and immediately ran back angrily.

At this time, Zhu Houguan had already come to the door to greet Du Buwang himself. As soon as the two met, they exchanged greetings. Du Buwang and Ling Xue were invited by Zhu Houguan to his study room.

After sitting down and drinking a cup of tea in the study, Zhu Houcong looked at the Emei beauty who had just changed into a female skirt today, and first said:

"I don't know the name of this Emei beauty next to my eldest brother."

Du Buwang saw Ling Xue seemingly shy and replied to him:

"This beauty is named Ling Xue. In fact, I have always been his Taoist nun if he doesn't change his female skirt."

After saying that, he laughed.

Zhu Houzhao also answered:

"Indeed, my brother and I have a similar view, but today I like Ling Xue, a woman's skirt, today."

At this time, Ling Xue saw the two of them joking with him, so she replied:

"Didn't I just change into a vulgar costume? You need to make fun of me like this"?

After saying that, he turned his head shyly.

Du Buwang changed the topic and said:

"Little Prince, now you are in the royal palace, so you should not call me brother, I am the eldest brother, so as not to affect the etiquette of the royal palace."

Zhu Houcan replied:

"There are no one else, so we can call it this privately."

Then he said to Du Buwuwong:

"How come my brother is here by water this time?"

Du Buwang told the teacher's situation and explained the purpose of this trip.

Zhu Houcong then ordered the butler, Uncle Jiu, to go down to get the medicine.

At this time, a middle-aged woman wearing a crown on her head, and a third sister next to her about 40 years old walked to the door.

When Zhu Houcan saw the visitor, he stood up and came to the woman to worship and said:

"I wonder why my mother suddenly came to the child's study."

After saying that, he looked at the third sister next to him, as if he understood something, and then glared at the third sister.

When Du Buying saw that it was the princess who came, he immediately pulled Ling Xue to the front, bowed to the princess, and said:

"Hello, aunt, Xiaomin took the liberty to disturb your mansion today and did not go to visit my aunt first, I hope my aunt will forgive me."

At this time, Princess Shixing was a little angry and told Zhu Houxuan:

"Ling, how did Wei Niang teach you since she was a child? Don't you know the etiquette when the guest comes, so you can take it to the study privately. Let's go, take your friends to the lobby and talk about it."

After saying that, he was a little angry and walked back.

After the princess left, Zhu Houcong said to Du Buwuwong:

"Brother, you can leave now. We will make an appointment with you when we have time. I think it must be the third sister who went to the princess to complain. Seeing my mother's angry look, it will definitely be nothing good to go to the hall."

Du Buying replied:

"Since the princess is angry, we have to explain to the princess even more. You can't leave like this, otherwise you will definitely be scolded a lot, little prince."

Zhu Houcon also knew Du Buwang's personality. Since he had said this, he would not listen even if he advised him to leave, so he said:

"Since my brother insists on meeting the princess, let's go and see you. However, you'd better not say that you are from the world, because my mother hates people from the world the most."

At this time, a middle-aged teacher came into the study. He was over 40 years old, with a high nose bridge, thick eyebrows and small eyes.

As soon as the teacher entered the door, he saw the two of them making a statement, and asked the little prince Zhu Houcong:

"The little prince has something to do today."

The little prince Zhu Houcong replied:

"Some small things are happening. Mr. Zhang, you are here. Can Mr. Zhang accompany me to see my mother?"

Zhang Cang said with a smile:

"The little prince must have nothing good."

Then he asked the little prince Zhu Houcon to introduce Du Buwang and Ling Xue.

The few people went to the living room and introduced.

It turned out that Zhang Feng was a man of one's own teaching skills. He failed the last seven tests and was forced to start Luofeng Academy to teach. He is quite famous in the local area. Not long ago, Zhu Houcon invited Xingwang Mansion to be his own lecturer. Today, he happened to teach and met.

But after a while, a few people came to the hall of the palace. At this time, Princess Xing, Jiang, was sitting in the hall drinking tea, and Princess Chun'an stood next to her.

Seeing that the princess had arrived for half a moment, she said to Zhu Houguan with some anger:

"Huang'er, you are growing up now and are about to inherit the throne. You are becoming less and less concerned about Wei Niang, right?"

At this time, Zhu Houcong hurriedly stepped forward and knelt in front of Princess Xing, lowered his head and replied:

"How dare I offend my mother? My mother must have misunderstood her after listening to the words of her third sister."

After saying that, he looked up at the third sister beside him. At this time, the third sister was jealous of seeing Ling Xue following Du Buwang, and then he complained to the princess. Unexpectedly, the princess actually got angry at the second brother, so she naturally felt sorry for her.

At this time, the princess looked up and asked Du Buwang and others:

"I think this young man and the little girl are quite handsome, but where are they from?"

Du Buwang introduced himself:

"Xiaomin is a native of Luohan Temple near the royal palace."

The princess's face turned into a smile at this time and she said:

"It's good for fellow townsmen, fellow townsmen."

Ling Xue was scared by the princess’ instructor to Zhu Houzhao and did not dare to speak. Du Buwuwong saw this and said to him:

"This woman is Ling Xue, a disciple of Master Jin Guang of Emei."

Du Buwang naturally forgot what his second brother just mentioned about Motti people in the world.

When the princess heard that she was a gangster or a Buddhist, she immediately said to the butler Lu Jiu:

"Nine, I'm asking someone to drive this woman out. I don't want to see people in the world, especially those who believe in Buddhism."

It turned out that the princess was a paranoid Taoist believer. She had always loved practicing Taoism and did not like people from the world. Naturally, she hated Ling Xue and the Buddhist Emei where he lived even more.

Since ancient times, Buddhism and Taoism have been constantly competing. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Buddhism was introduced to the Middle Earth, breaking the situation where Taoism was dominant. By the time of the Northern Wei, Sui and Tang Dynasties, Buddhism completely suppressed Taoism, so many paranoid Taoist believers have hated Buddhism to this day.
