Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Princess Gaoyang saw that Du He was concentrating on teasing Du Ping'an and was not looking at her directly, so she gritted her teeth and said.

"Peach, let's go!"

After saying this, Gao Yang walked out of the lobby quickly with a hint of anger on his face.

Her thoughts were so obviously revealed. I didn't expect Du He to be such a blockhead. I don't know if he was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid and didn't understand romance.

Moreover, the imperial sister Li Yi was like a vicious dog guarding its food, and her eyes seemed to want to eat her.

Taozi and Linglong, who was smiling foolishly, looked at each other, and then bowed respectfully to Du He and Li Yi.

"Your Highness, Prince Consort, I will take my leave first."

After she finished her greetings, he trotted out.

In the lobby.

Li Yi said angrily, "My dear, Gao Yang is really too much. She actually flirted with you in front of me!"

She had been on guard against Gao Yang since the first step she took into the princess's mansion. How could she not have noticed her little moves?

The way Gao Yang looked at her husband just now was not normal. Li Yi wanted to poke out Gao Yang's eyes on the spot to prevent her from seducing her husband all day long.

"What!" Du He raised his eyebrows, and then deliberately said angrily: "Gao Yang, this unruly woman, actually dared to defile my pure body with her eyes?"

"It seems that my skin is not clean anymore. I have to rub my body with some old loofah soil tonight!"

After hearing what Du He said, Li Yi, who was originally angry because of Gao Yang's behavior, suddenly lost all his anger.

She said coquettishly, "Husband, please be serious."

Who would defile themselves just by looking at someone for a few times?

What's more, my husband is a man who can stand tall and proud. How can he say such shameful words? If it gets out, he will probably be laughed at by others.

When Du He saw that Li Yi had calmed down, he first grinned, then half-hugged Li Yi's slender waist and said.

"Yier, take a few more guards to Huichang Temple tomorrow and come back after you've fulfilled your wish."

"I'll ask Du Wu and Zhang Shizheng to bring a few guards with you."

Although most people would not dare to attack a legitimate princess like Li Yi, it is better to be cautious, so it is still better to send a few more people to escort her to feel at ease.

Li Yi responded softly: "Okay."

Huichang Temple is built on a mountain, in a quiet and remote location, and there are many pilgrims, so it would be good to have more people to escort them.

...

The next day.

When the morning light rises.

Huichang Temple, shrouded in mist, is already bustling with people and worshipping incense.

After Li Yi fulfilled his vow devoutly, he was thinking about going back with Princess Nanping, who had smelled the incense well, when Princess Gaoyang made a suggestion.

"My three sisters, there will be a Dharma assembly at Huichang Temple later, where you can listen to the profound Buddhist teachings from the monks."

"Let's stay and listen for a while. It'll only take half an hour."

In addition to allowing pilgrims to burn incense and make wishes on a daily basis, temples also have highly skilled monks hold regular ceremonies to teach believers profound Buddhist teachings and Zen principles.

This is also a point where major temples compete with each other to attract pilgrims.

Just as Li Yi was about to refuse, Princess Baling and Princess Nanping were the first to nod and agree.

"Great!"

"We rarely come out, but we didn't expect to encounter the master holding a ceremony!"

"It is also a great thing to listen to the master preaching the Buddhist Dharma and Zen principles!"

On weekdays they spend most of their time in the princess's mansion, and they seldom participate in the excitement among the people. Now that they have a rare opportunity to come out, they naturally want to have fun to the fullest.

Moreover, watching the Dharma Assembly at Huichang Temple not only improves one's knowledge of Buddhism, but it is also unlike the chaotic local markets.

So when they saw the excitement, they also wanted to see it with their own eyes.

Seeing that the two imperial sisters were very interested, Li Yi took back what he was about to say.

She frowned slightly and said, "Then listen for a while."

It was just a listening session, nothing special about it.

When Princess Gaoyang saw that Li Yi agreed, she smiled as if her evil plan had succeeded.

She tightened her leopard fur coat and said, "My three sisters, there is a ceremony being held at Huichang Temple today, so many people are coming to participate."

"The abbot of Huichang Temple was afraid that there would be too many people, so he asked Master Bianji, who was well versed in Buddhism, to explain it to the four of us individually."

"Let's go to the Dharma Hall now. Master Bianji is already waiting for us."

Some large temples have four halls, namely the Dharma Hall, the Light Hall, the Sutra Hall and the Lecture Hall.

The Dharma Hall is where the Zen sect preaches Buddhist teachings, and it is located behind the Main Hall.

Princess Baling and Princess Nanping's eyes lit up, and then they praised with smiles on their faces.

"My royal sister is so thoughtful. Let's hurry over there."

After they finished talking, they turned around and walked towards the corridor next to them.

Because Li Yi knew about the dirty deeds between Gao Yang and Bian Ji, she felt disgusted when she heard Monk Bian Ji teaching them Buddhism.

Gao Yang saw Li Yi in a daze, her brows slightly frowned, then she forced a smile on her face and asked.

"Is there something on my mind, sister?"

Li Yi shook his head slightly and said, "Royal sister, let's go over now, don't keep the two royal sisters waiting for too long."

After saying this, Li Yi waved to Du Wu who was not far away.

Du Wu hurried over and bowed respectfully, saying, "Your Highness the Princess."

Li Yi said softly, "We will go to the Dharma Hall to listen to the Dharma later. You and Zhang Shizheng can follow us in. As for the others, please wait outside the gate."

"As ordered!"

Du Wu responded respectfully, then quickly went downstairs to make arrangements.

Seeing Li Yi being so cautious, Princess Gaoyang smiled and covered her mouth.

"Sister, are you being too suspicious?"

"We are princesses, and you are actually worried that the master of Huichang Temple will attack us?"

Usually, when she came to Huichang Temple to debate Buddhism with Master Bian Ji, she would bring four guards and a maid with her. She was not as suspicious as Li Yi.

Li Yi just smiled in response and didn't explain any further on this issue.

At this time, there were more and more pilgrims in the main hall, and Princess Gaoyang continued.

"Royal sister, let's go to the Dharma Hall now. The Dharma Assembly in the Great Hall is about to begin."

Li Yi nodded and said, "Okay."

Under the escort of the guards, the two of them moved away from the crowded Main Hall and went to the secluded Dharma Hall.

Not long after, the sound of chanting scriptures was heard in Huichang Temple.

Inside the Dharma Hall.

The elegant and handsome monk Bian Ji, dressed in a cassock, preached Buddhism with a solemn expression.

Bian Ji indeed had extremely high attainments in Buddhism. After only a short while of preaching, Princess Baling and Princess Nanping were fascinated by his teachings.

Li Yi and Gao Yang were also listening carefully, nodding in agreement from time to time.

Less than half an hour later, Bian Ji suddenly stopped speaking and bowed to Li Yi and the other three.

"Four donors, this is the end of what I am going to say today."

"If you still want to listen, I will be chanting in the meditation room later. If you are interested, you can come and listen."
