"Seventeen, good kung fu! Hahaha, that was a wonderful shot! "
Yang Fan kicked a good ball, and Big Brother Hong Yi felt very proud. He patted Yang Fan's shoulder and laughed exaggeratedly. He purposely made his voice louder so that more palace maids and beauties could hear him.
"Sister Xiao Man, where did these monks come from?"
A Little Palace Maid came to Xie Muwen's side and asked in a low voice. Xie Muwen looked at the monks and said, "Other than Master Xue, who else could bring so many monks to the palace?"
The Little Palace Maid was surprised and said, "What are they doing here? Are they going to perform a big ceremony? "
Xie Muwen laughed in spite of herself and said, "You are indulging in fantasy. If you want to know, just ask them. "
"Okay!"
The Little Palace Maid agreed and ran to Hong Yi and Yang Fan's group.
"Hey! You monks, what are you doing here? "
The Little Palace Maid put her hands on her slender waist and asked fiercely. This little girl was not very old, about fourteen or fifteen years old. She was very pretty and had a natural baby face. Although her almond-shaped eyes were wide open and she looked unhappy, she still looked sweet and cute. This was what it meant to be happy and angry at the same time.
Hong Liu puffed out his chest, put his hands on his waist, and said with his nose in the air, "I have long heard that there are many martial arts masters in the palace. The White Horse Temple came to the palace today to compete with you in martial arts."
As soon as Hong Liu said this, it immediately caused an uproar. The palace maids whispered to each other excitedly. From the looks of it, they were usually trapped in the palace and bored to death. Having a little fun was more joyous than anything else. Of course, this also stemmed from their strong self-confidence. Every year at the lantern festival, they would always be the champions.
The monks of the White Horse Temple came to the palace to be tortured!
More and more palace maids and beauties heard the news, and they all gathered around, asking the others. Once they knew the news was true, they immediately became excited.
At this time, Xue Huaiyi had already seen Wu Zetian and presented the Great Cloud Scripture in his sleeve.
Those highly virtuous monks were usually good at specious gathas. This time, for this "Commentary on the Great Cloud Sutra", they were far-fetched and produced a large number of gathas and prophecies. They gave full play to their imagination and made use of every sentence in the "Great Cloud Sutra" that could be used.
Wu Zetian looked at the Great Cloud Scripture seriously. She saw that they used the Great Cloud Scripture as a basis and continuously analyzed and researched it. They actually came to the conclusion that the Maitreya Buddha was the reincarnated female and became the master of this world. They even directly pointed out that the Maitreya Buddha's reincarnated female surname was Wu. She couldn't help but feel delighted.
"Ah Shi really did not disappoint my expectations!"
Wu Zetian smiled as she put down the Great Cloud Scripture and said to Wan'er who was standing to the side, "Keep it first and choose an auspicious time to distribute the Great Cloud Scripture and Great Cloud Scripture to the world. When the time comes, all the major temples in each province must collect a copy and invite all the monks to preach!"
Wan'er agreed. Wu Zetian said to Xue Huaiyi, "This move, Ah Shi's contribution cannot go unnoticed. How many people are there to translate this Great Cloud Scripture? "
Xue Huaiyi said, "There are Sanjie, Santhin, Sanshan, Fa Ming, Yuanchi and the other nine monks."
Wu Ze said, "Good! Including Ah Shi, there are ten people. I will give each of you a purple kasaya and a silver fish pouch as a reward! "
Because the Tang Dynasty used color as part of the official uniform, there were restrictions on the color of the kasaya for monks. Purple was a color that only officials of the third rank and above could wear. So no matter which temple the monks were, they could not wear a purple kasaya. Now, Wu Zetian gave each of them a purple kasaya. This was an unprecedented treatment.
Xue Huaiyi was overjoyed and quickly thanked her.
Wu Zetian smiled and said, "Ah Shi is considerate. I am giving you a purple kasaya, but I think it is too little."
Xue Huaiyi hurriedly said, "Huaiyi is a boorish person. I don't have any other thoughts. I only think about how to make the Heavenly Empress happy. Huaiyi's heart is happy. Since this sutra can satisfy the Heavenly Empress' wishes, that's the best. I am not afraid that Heavenly Empress will laugh at me. On the way here, Xiaobao was afraid that this scripture would not be accepted by Heavenly Empress and was very nervous. "
Wu Zetian looked at him with a smile and said, "I am a little tired and want to go back to my bedroom to rest. Ah Shi, come with me. Tell us about the 'Great Cloud Scripture' to calm our minds. "
Xue Huaiyi quickly said, "Yes, Huaiyi will obey. Oh, the day before yesterday, Huaiyi told Heavenly Empress that he will bring the monks of White Horse Temple to compete with the palace's martial arts masters. Now they are waiting in the martial arts field under the observation platform. Heavenly Empress, what do you think... "
Wu Zetian said, "Wan'er, the Lantern Festival is approaching. Have the palace's martial arts masters started to practice?"
Shangguan Wan 'er bowed and said, "Yes. I've also tried my best to get some of the people who have official positions to work with, so that they can take some time out to participate in the practice. I'm looking forward to the Spring Lantern Festival to win the championship of the Cuju Championship for the palace. Now, the Cuju players are basically all gathered.
Wu Zetian smiled and said, "Ah Shi ordered the monks of White Horse Temple to practice martial arts to make me happy. It must have been hard on him. Go and tell the people in the palace to compete with the monks of White Horse Temple. "
"Wan'er will obey!"
Shanghai Wan'er bowed and answered, then quietly left.
Xue Huaiyi had been standing there with one hand clasped together. When Shanghai Wan'er left, he quickly stepped forward and gently held Wu Zetian's arm. He called out anxiously, "Heavenly Empress..."
Wu Zetian coquettishly rolled her eyes at him and accompanied him to the bedroom.
...
On the court, the palace maids who had gathered around ridiculed the monks of White Horse Temple. The baby-faced girl raised her chin and said disdainfully, "You want to compete with us? What a joke. Every year in the Lantern Festival, we, the Palace Martial Arts Masters, want to win the championship. You don't even have the qualifications to enter the palace to compete, yet you have the nerve to compete with us. "
Hong Liu blushed and said, "That's because … because … a good man doesn't fight with a woman. Everyone gave way to you. Otherwise, do you think you can win with your flowery fists and impractical kicks? Who would believe that! "
The girl said angrily, "Who said someone let us win? Sister Xiaoman, come, let's teach them a lesson and let them know how powerful we are. "
Hong Liu rolled his eyes and said, "You little girl, what a big tone. Who are you? How dare you talk to us like this?"
The girl said proudly, "I dare to say this because I have the ability! I am Lan Yiqing, a female guard of the palace. Remember this well. In a while, we will talk under our feet. See if I don't beat you up! "
Maqiao said to Yang Fan, "Lan Yiqing, this name is really nice. The name is nice, and the person is also beautiful. "
Yang Fan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Master Hong Shiba, she is a female guard of the palace. You have no hope. It's better to put away your mortal heart!"
Maqiao snorted and didn't say anything. He also knew that it was impossible for him to pursue such a girl. However, everyone loved beauty. This girl called Lan Yiqing was fresh and pleasant, pure and sweet. She was like an apricot that had just released its fragrance. It suited his taste very well, so he couldn't help but admire her.
While Hong Liu and Lan Yiqing were quarreling, Shanghai Wan'er had already left Jixian Palace Hall and rushed to the backyard.
As soon as she came out of Jixian Palace Hall, she saw a young man who looked like Scribes coming slowly. This person wore a turban on his head and wore a stone blue silk robe with a leather belt around his waist. He had red eyebrows and white teeth. He had an elegant demeanor. When she looked carefully, it was Princess Taiping who was disguised as a man.
Shanghai Wan'er stopped and bowed slightly. She said with a smile, "Princess, how come you have time to come to the palace today?"
As soon as Princess Taiping saw her, she couldn't help but chuckle. She greeted her with a smile and asked, "Wan'er, you are here. Is Ah Niang in the hall?"
Shanghai Wan'er said, "The Empress is a little tired. She has returned to her bedroom to rest. She is listening to some scriptures to calm her mind."
Princess Taiping knew what was going on. "Oh," she said, "If that's the case, I'll go back!"
Shanghai Wan'er quickly stopped her and said with a smile, "Since Princess has come, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Teacher Xue has brought a group of disciples into the palace. He said that he has been practicing Cuju hard. He wants to participate in the Yuan Dynasty tournament and compete with us for the championship. Now he wants to compete with our Forbidden Sect's Cuju masters. Wan'er is going to arrange some people to compete with them. If Princess has nothing else to do, why don't you come with us? "
Princess Taiping heard this and said with disdain, "Xue Huai Yi's subordinates are just a bunch of ruffians. What kind of Cuju masters do they have?" Even though she said that, she still followed Shanghai Wan'er to the backyard.
In the backyard, the two sides were still bickering. A group of palace maids were chattering non-stop. The ruffians and monks were speechless. Suddenly, one of the palace maids ran over and shouted, "Xiaoman jiejie, Yiqing meimei, don't quarrel anymore. Shangguan Daizhao is here. Daizhao said that he wants us to compete with White Horse Temple."
Xie Xiaoman was surprised, "Shangguan Daizhao also knows about this?"
The palace maid said, "This matter has been approved by the Empress. Shangguan Daizhao is here for this matter. Look!"
The palace maid pointed behind her. Everyone followed her gaze and saw two men in white robes standing shoulder to shoulder on one side of the field.
Someone called out, "Ah! Princess Taiping is also here. "
Yang Fan listened attentively and saw two people standing shoulder to shoulder on the other side of the field. Both were wearing Confucian robes. Their lips were painted red, their noses were greasy, their skin was delicate, and their skin was white with a hint of red. Standing there, they looked like a pair of lovers. If these two were to change into women's clothes, perhaps even Xizi Feiyan would not be able to compare.
Carefully looking at their appearance, he remembered that the one on the left was the Princess Taiping whom he met by chance at the Luo River.
As for the other one, she was as beautiful as a jade …
Yang Fan vaguely remembered that he had seen her at the Luo River. At that time, she was standing next to Princess Taiping. So she was Shangguan Wan'er. Yang Fan did not expect that the person he had tried so hard to meet was someone he had already met at the Luo River that day. It was just that he did not know who she was. Only today did he see her true face.
