If not abolished

Inside Tianjie Temple

"Master, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here again."

"How many times has this happened?" Yao Guangxiao said as he turned the Buddhist beads.

The person who responded actually stretched out his fingers and counted, "This is the fourth time today."

"Then please come in." Yao Guangxiao said as he stood up from the mat.

"Yes." The man immediately opened the door, walked to the front of the courtyard, and saluted Zhu Zhanji, "Your Highness, Master invites you in."

Zhu Zhanji returned the greeting.

As soon as Zhu Zhanji entered, he smelled a faint scent of sandalwood. He felt relieved when he walked in. After walking through the screen, he saw Yao Guangxiao sitting there. When he saw him come in, he quickly stood up and said, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Young Master, you are so polite."

"His Highness has been officially crowned, and this is as it should be."

After he sat down, Yao Guangxiao poured him some tea, "Your Highness, please have a taste. This is the Mingqian tea that was sent this year."

Zhu Zhanji took a sip and said, "It tastes slightly bitter at first, but has a hint of sweetness in the aftertaste."

"Your Highness has come to me again and again, why do you wonder?" Yao Guangxiao was puzzled from the beginning, why did His Highness the Crown Prince suddenly come to find him? Thinking back, he realized that he and this little ancestor had no intersection except that he became his teacher a few years ago. They usually met in the palace, and this was the first time he came to the temple to find him.

Zhu Zhanji picked up the cup and took another sip of tea. He sat up straighter and said, "I want to thank Master Shao for what I did before."

"That happened so long ago. Besides, it was what I should do. Why does Your Highness thank me?" Yao Guangxiao was even more confused. It happened so long ago, and no one thanked me immediately afterwards. Now that it has been so long, he suddenly mentioned it. It seems that there is something bigger going on.

"Actually, I also have a question. Why did the young master help me at that time?" Zhu Zhanji almost thought that he was exposed at that time. He didn't expect that Yao Guangxiao would help him to cover up the truth. If an ordinary person said those words, the emperor would still suspect who was instructing him. But when those words came out of Yao Guangxiao's mouth, the emperor would not believe it 100%, but he would basically not doubt it.

Yao Guangxiao was stunned for a moment and said, "I was originally going to tell your majesty the truth, but before that, I also heard some things about your highness's assassination, so I calculated it for your highness."

"What did the young master calculate?" Zhu Zhanji became alert when he heard him talk about the previous assassination attempt.

Yao Guangxiao helped him refill his tea and then said, "Don't panic, Your Highness. I didn't say it then, and I won't say it now."

Zhu Zhanji believed that as long as Yao Guangxiao wanted to do something, he would have done it long ago.

"Your Highness, have you encountered any opportunity?" Yao Guangxiao asked, looking into his eyes. Even though Zhu Zhanji had experienced two lives, he was still a little uncertain when looking at Yao Guangxiao's deep eyes. In front of this man who even the current emperor had to respect, Zhu Zhanji's cultivation was a little shallow.

Although Zhu Zhanji was a little flustered, he didn't want to be at a disadvantage. After all, he was a former emperor, so he couldn't lose too much in momentum, right?

When Yao Guangxiao saw Zhu Zhanji's change from being a little panic at the beginning to being determined later, his guess was confirmed. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have encountered something, but he hadn't figured it out yet. He was the first to give in, and he looked down at the tea leaves in the cup.

Zhu Zhanji finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowly loosened his fists under the table.

"Then Master, can you tell me, what exactly did you see?" If you were to ask what Yao Guangxiao's most outstanding talent was, everyone would probably think it was political skills, strategy, etc., but he knew that Yao Guangxiao's most outstanding skill was actually the art of Yin and Yang.

"In fact, I didn't see that. Do you still remember Yuan Gong?"

"I remember that you read my face when I was a child." Zhu Zhanji had some impression of this person. A few years ago, the emperor's grandfather was struggling over who to appoint as the crown prince among his three legitimate sons. The emperor asked Yuan Gong to read the faces of his father and two uncles, and also read his own.

"Before he passed away, he went to the palace to see Your Highness once. He said that Your Highness's fate had changed a little, but fortunately, this change was beneficial to the world and not harmful. He later told me that you would have a critical moment in a while, and hoped that I could help you then. So later I observed your horoscope and found that the trajectory of your horoscope had indeed changed a lot."

"So later you took advantage of the situation and told Grandfather the Emperor that I was not suitable to be chosen as a concubine?"

"Yes, if there was indeed someone who was destined to be with you when Your Highness was choosing a concubine, then that person would definitely be your fate in life, and could even affect the fortune of the Ming Dynasty in the future."

"Influence the fortune of the Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Zhanji frowned instantly. The person he was talking about must be Sun, right?

"However, during this period of time, that person's fate has been far away from Your Highness, and there won't be much intersection in the future."

"Then Master, can you help me see the fate between this other person and me?" Zhu Zhanji quickly wrote down Hu Shanxiang's horoscope and handed it to Yao Guangxiao.

Yao Guangxiao took it, looked at it for a long time, stretched out his hand to calculate for a while, and handed the paper back to Zhu Zhanji, but did not say a word.

Zhu Zhanji waited for a long time, and seeing that Yao Guangxiao didn't say a word, he asked anxiously: "Is it inappropriate?" It was no wonder that Zhu Zhanji had such doubts. In his previous life, he and Shanxiang were not suitable for each other and were not destined to be together. It was mainly his fault that Shanxiang was abandoned for no reason.

"Don't panic, Your Highness. Judging from your birth date and horoscope, Your Highness and this girl are destined to be husband and wife, but they may not be able to make it to the end. However, this depends on the stars. Your Highness, please wait for a few days and let me take a look. However, this girl's horoscope is indeed good. She is extremely blessed and will bring good luck to her husband, provided that her husband treats her well."

"Then I will wait for news from the young master." Zhu Zhanji thought to himself when he heard this, no wonder, in his previous life, he ended up in such a state after he deposed the queen, and he had a bad reputation among the people, and finally died young, this time, he must treat Shanxiang well.

"Your Highness, please go back today."

"Okay, then I'll go back to the palace first."

"Your Highness, are you going back to the palace now?" Wu Cheng asked after seeing him come out.

"Go back. You've been out long enough today. If you don't go back, your mother will scold you."

"The Crown Princess should know that you have come to see the Young Master."

"My mother has sent someone to keep an eye on me recently?"

"Yes, the Crown Princess is also concerned about Your Highness."

Zhu Zhanji got on the carriage without saying a word.

"Selling candied haws, selling candied haws..."

Zhu Zhan had been resting with his eyes closed, but when he heard the hawking, he suddenly opened his eyes.

"Wu Cheng, go buy all that guy's candied haws."

Wu Cheng stopped the carriage and walked to the man who was buying the goods. When the man heard that someone wanted to buy them all, he was extremely happy.

"Your Highness, when did you start liking to eat candied haws?"

Zhu Zhanji recalled that last year, on Hu Shanxiang's birthday, Hu Xuan accompanied her shopping and bought a lot of candied haws. He took a bunch down.

Wu Cheng looked at his own prince smiling at a string of candied haws and wondered what was wrong with this prince.
