Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Miss Su, you don’t know. The First Prince has always had a Bodhisattva’s heart. He has been aloof from worldly affairs since he was young. He insisted on going, so His Majesty had no choice but to allow it.” Nanny Jin’s final words were filled with unconcealable adoration. It was clear that she greatly admired the First Prince.
Thinking of the First Prince Xiao Huaxu, Su Qian suddenly felt a little curious about him.
She remembered that the First Prince had once been a genius in both the civil and military fields. He was one of the best among the princes and had been recommended many times by the officials to be the Crown Prince, but the Emperor had never agreed.
Logically speaking, Xiao Huaxu should be the most ambitious person, but he willingly spent five years in meditation. It was unknown if he was truly compassionate or had ulterior motives…
“I admire the First Prince’s devotion to the Heaven Fire Kingdom.” Su Qian, regardless of her inner thoughts, maintained a flawless facade, expressing her gratitude to Nanny Jin, “Thank you for enlightening me.”
“You’re too polite, Miss Su.” Nanny Jin also had a good impression of Su Qian. She immediately asked in confusion, “I wonder if Miss Su is going back to rest next?”
“No, I want to take a stroll around.” After Su Qian finished speaking, she bid farewell to Nanny Jin and left the courtyard.
The ancient temple was exceptionally tranquil. Although Su Qian didn’t believe that there were gods in this world, she was filled with reverence for Buddha.
As she casually wandered around the ancient temple, Su Qian found everything interesting.
As Su Qian strolled around, Xiao Yin and Black Ball ran out, unwilling to be left out.
Xiao Yin nestled on Su Qian’s shoulder while Black Ball flapped its little wings and followed beside Su Qian. As it flew, it sighed. “Wow, Master, this temple looks so grand!”
“The Haotian Temple is a national temple, so it’s naturally extraordinary.” As Su Qian spoke, she strolled along the way, thinking about going to the front yard to see the bodhi tree. However, just in front of her, she suddenly heard a commotion.
“What’s going on?” With a gossipy expression, Xiao Yin craned its neck to look ahead and happened to see a group of orioles standing guard in front of a temple hall.
These ladies were all relatives of the imperial family. At this moment, they seemed to be attracted by something inside the temple hall. Their eyes sparkled with excitement, and if anyone who didn’t know saw them, they would almost think that they were on steroids.
Su Qian raised her eyebrows and approached curiously.
Su Qian moved without making a sound, so she naturally didn’t alarm the group of young ladies. Instead, she stood outside the temple hall and looked in.
The melodious chanting of sutras echoed through the air. In the spacious temple hall, several monks were seated, and Su Qian quickly identified the monk that the young ladies were so fascinated with.
It was not because of anything else, but because the monk was too handsome. Even if he was dressed exactly like the other monks, his extraordinary temperament couldn’t be concealed.
The monk was like a jade statue, exuding a steady aura from head to toe. His pair of exceptionally bright phoenix eyes were very long, and the corners of his eyes were slightly raised. However, he didn’t look frivolous. Instead, he looked like a tranquil pool, making it impossible to see the emotions in his eyes. One could only see the smile on his crimson lips.
She could almost see the Buddhist light enveloping this monk. Su Qian was certain that this was the most handsome monk she had ever seen in her two lifetimes.
After a quick glance, Su Qian retracted her gaze and confirmed the identity of the person in front of her.
Without the need for speculation, she knew he must be the First Prince, Xiao Huaxu..
