Chapter 231 Ancient · Whoring Holy Monk (3)

When I said this, I was certainly not asking for Huaiyan’s opinion, I was just informing him.Ye Xuan saw a trace of shock flash across Huai Yan’s face. The next moment he calmed down, lifted up his clothes and knelt on the ground: “I beg your Majesty to take back your life.”

“Why?” The girl said coolly as she fiddled with her fingertips carelessly.

“The common people are outsiders and cannot be included in His Majesty’s harem due to emotion or reason.” Huaiyan’s voice was gentle and calm. “If this matter is known to the government and the public, I am afraid that controversy will boil over and it will damage His Majesty’s reputation.”

“What?” Ye Xuan smiled, “Are you threatening me?” When getting along with Huai Yan, the feeling of empathy seemed to have returned to her body, so even her tone was condescending and bossy.

She was bound to get this man. As an emperor who was inferior to one person and surpassed ten thousand people, there was nothing she could not obtain.

“Huai Yan,” Ye Xuan stood up and walked to Huai Yan.She noticed that the man’s back stiffened slightly, and the smile on her face became softer. “You know that I don’t care about the government at all. I don’t have the final say in the affairs of the court. It has nothing to do with me what matters are discussed.” She slowly knelt down and said,The jade belt around his waist made a soft jingling sound, “But you are different. You are a monk with a pure heart and a celibate heart, or you are a highly respected abbot and a holy monk. If the news spread that you were forcibly taken into the palace by me, how do you think the Yunmen Sect will be criticized?”

Huai Yan said nothing, and from the corner of her eye, Ye Xuan saw that his fingertips on the ground began to turn white.

“Raise your head,” the man in front of her remained motionless. Ye Xuan suddenly raised her voice, “Raise your head!”

She felt that Huai Yan’s breathing was turbulent for a moment. The man raised his head, and the gentle smile hanging on his lips was still there.For some reason, Ye Xuan was confused.It was such a heinous thing to force this man, and she suddenly realized how shameless she really was.

“I don’t want to make things too ugly,” Ye Xuan stood up and quickly looked away from Huaiyan’s face, “Not many people will know about your entry into the palace. You will also appoint the successor abbot of Yunmen Sect. I can grant you any reward you want.”

After a long time, Huai Yan finally spoke: “So, there is no room for change in this matter?”

“That’s right,” the girl pursed her lips and turned her face away pretending to be careless, “You promised me that I will let the monks of the Yunmen Sect leave tomorrow, otherwise…”

The unfinished threat in her voice was obvious, and Huai Yan really had no way to resist.In this era of overwhelming imperial power, not to mention that the emperor just wants to force a monk into the palace, even if she wants to massacre hundreds of members of the Yunmen Sect, there will be no way to hurt her except being criticized.

Ye Xuan didn’t know what Huaiyan was thinking, anger?Desperate?Shame?Or resentment?These emotions that represent anger do not seem to appear in him, because he is such a person with a firm Buddhist heart.

“It doesn’t matter,” he didn’t even sigh, but always lowered his eyes gently, “it’s just the ordinary people who follow the orders.”

It seemed that Ye Xuan had won a great victory, but on the way back to the palace, she fell into unspeakable panic.

The mission of the strategy was not to say that sleeping with Huaiyan would be a success, but to make him fall in love with her. However, Huaiyan calmly accepted such humiliation. Let alone making him fall in love, it would be extremely difficult to provoke him to commit a crime.She returned to the palace with a gloomy face. As soon as she sat down, she told Gao Gongming: “Go and tell Chen An that I have something urgent.”

Chen An was the Prime Minister of the current dynasty, a veteran of two dynasties, and once served as Ye Xuan’s teacher. He has always been relied upon by Ye Xuan.After the old man hurried over, Ye Xuan did not hesitate and said directly: “I have fallen in love with Huai Yan and want to admit him into the palace.”

Chen An was still a little unresponsive, but when he remembered who Huaiyan was, he was shocked and said: “Your Majesty, think twice!”

“What are you thinking about?” Ye Xuan said impatiently, “I am so rich that I can’t even get a man?” She glanced at Chen An, “I’m calling you here to inform you that the new abbot of the Yunmen Sect suddenly contracted a cold and died of illness a few days ago. He was buried in a grand ceremony by the Ministry of Rites. When I left the palace, I met a man who liked me and asked him to serve in the palace. How about it?”

Chen An insisted: “There is no airtight wall in the world, and this matter will eventually be leaked.”

“Chen Qing, do you think the material discussion is more important, or the prince?”

Hearing what the emperor said, Chen An couldn’t help but gleam in his eyes. Could it be that the officials wanted to…

Ye Xuan said as he expected: “I don’t like those men in the palace, I just like Huai Yan.”

With his pulse pinched, Chen An had no choice but to compromise.It seems that the emperor is determined to get Huayan, so he can accept a monk if he wants. It is better than the emperor threatening not to enter the harem.Although I feel that this matter is really insulting to elegance, when choosing between the emperor’s heir and Huai Yan, I can only sacrifice Huai Yan.

With Chen An secretly operating, things went smoothly.Three days later, a small sedan entered the harem at night.

The man in the sedan opened the curtain, revealing a face as clear and calm as the silver moon.Huaiyan never thought that one day he would enter this place. The huge and orderly palace complex was like a silent giant beast, and he fell into the mouth of this giant beast amidst the soft and inaudible footsteps around him.

At his insistence, Huairang, who succeeded the Yunmen Sect as abbot, learned the truth of the matter. He still remembered the expression of grief and despair on Huairang’s face: “It’s too much to bully people! It’s too much to bully people! Abbot, how could they humiliate you like this! Even if I fight all the monks of Yunmen Sect, I will never let you enter the palace!”

But Huaiyan just laughed: “How can I bully a monk? It’s just a practice given to me by the Buddha.”

I would have lost my composure that night. I guess it was because my conduct was not good enough.Silently reciting Buddhist scriptures, Huai Yan’s expression became more and more peaceful.

After a stick of incense, the sedan stopped in front of an exquisite and elegant pavilion.On the plaque in front of the building were written the three characters “Jie Lan Zhai”. A chamberlain in turquoise eunuch uniform stood in front of the door. When he saw Huai Yan getting off the sedan, he greeted her with a thousand words: “I wish you peace, sir.”

Huai Yan whispered the Buddha’s name: “Amitabha, Tan Yue, a poor monk would not dare to accept this gift.”

Naturally, this chamberlain was Gao Gongming, who was sent by Ye Xuan. He smiled and said, “Young master, what you said is wrong. There are only officials and heads of palaces in the palace. In the future, you must never call yourself a poor monk again.”

He knew that the Zen master would not compromise easily, but he just wanted to give him a few words to prevent him from upsetting the officials.Gao Gongming had been accompanying the emperor since she was still the princess, and he knew the emperor’s temperament very well.He glanced at Huaiyan calmly. With such talent and appearance, once he caught the attention of the officials, there would probably be some disturbance in the palace.

Huaiyan didn’t know what Gao Gongming was thinking. Although he entered the palace, he only regarded it as a different place of practice.The jewels and splendor in the pavilion were all passed by at a glance. Xiao Huangmen took his baggage from his hands, took out a slightly old futon, placed it under the window and began to meditate.

This is the evening class he must do every day, starting from the age of nine, without stopping for a day.Therefore, when a thin whistle came from outside the door, his eyelashes twitched slightly, and the sound of chanting sutras in his mouth did not stop at all.

“Huai Yan,” Ye Xuan walked straight in, “I’m here, why don’t you salute.” Huai Yan opened his eyes, and for some reason, the girl in front of him actually smiled.Ye Xuan thought to herself, could it be that Huai Yan was still resentful of her, so he deliberately refused to be polite?

Being able to be angry means that this man has the possibility of being conquered.Ye Xuan was afraid that his Buddha mind had reached the state of enlightenment and would not be moved by external objects at all, but it seemed that was not the case now.

This discovery made Ye Xuan extremely happy. She couldn’t help but step forward and grab Huaiyan’s hand: “Don’t blame me. I forced you because…” The girl’s face turned red. “It’s also because I like you so much…”

Marquis Gao Gongming was standing aside, his heart moved slightly. It seemed that the official really liked Huaiyan and actually used the word “I” in front of him.

But Huaiyan took out his hand and lowered his eyes: “The official family is so kind that a poor monk dare not accept it.”

He was so alienated, and Ye Xuan’s face immediately lost its bearings. She wanted to flutter her sleeves and leave, but she was really reluctant to leave. For the first time, she lowered her voice in a condescending manner: “What a poor monk? Do you still want to be a monk? You are already mine. If I want to like you, you have to endure it.”

Ye Xuan wanted to cover her face as soon as she said the words. The original person’s domineering temperament was really…even the confession was so bossy.

Huaiyan said nothing, picked up the Buddhist beads with his slender fingers, and began to recite scriptures again.Gao Gongming screamed inwardly, but the official’s face darkened.

“Gao Gongming.”

“Yes.” Gao Gongming responded quickly.

A tea cup was thrown at my head: “Get out!”

“Yes.” Gao Gongming glanced over, the sound of rustling footsteps was heard, and in the blink of an eye, all the maids and chamberlains in the room were gone.

The girl took two steps in step, stepped forward and grabbed Huaiyan’s collar: “Okay, you’re fine, why don’t you ignore me?” She sneered and pulled open Huaiyan’s clothes, revealing his thin chest under the monk’s robe, “No one in the world dares to disobey me. I want to see if you dare!”
