When King of Jing An Zhao Heng heard this, he didn't seem to notice Princess Pei's strange expression. He turned his head and smiled, "Fengnian is very considerate."
Hsu Fengnian laughed and said that it was something he should do. He walked them out of the inn and waited until the three of them got on an ordinary carriage. It was obvious that the carriage was quite narrow. The horses were good horses that even wealthy families could afford. Other than the two strong and sturdy attendants and bodyguards, everything was quite plain. This family of three, who was only one step away from owning the imperial palace in the capital, came and went quietly. On the surface, they were full of the Buddhist aura of a believer in Buddhism, the fairy aura of a beauty, and the friendliness of a distant relative. However, who could understand the murderous intent behind each step? Only Blue Bird saw that after leaving the room, His Royal Highness didn't show his back to King of Jing An Zhao Heng. His lapel was already soaked through.
The Crown Prince of Beiliang looked at the flying dust at the end of the road and finally turned around peacefully. He ordered Blue Bird to buy a copy of Qingying Study House's version of "The First Snow". Then he walked back to the room alone and closed the door. He sat on the chair that was still warm and let out a long breath. He looked at the sandalwood chair and murmured, "In just a few hours, Zhao Heng has already pinched the prayer beads four times. Xu Xiao was right. This sanctimonious King of Jing An is as vicious as a woman. Zhao Heng probably doesn't know that I have long known about his secret habit of killing people with each pinch of the prayer beads. The first pinch of the Bodhi beads was because he was surprised that I wasn't as rebellious as the rumors said. He began to suspect that my absurd behavior in Beiliang over the years was because I was pretending to be stupid. Secondly, he was angry that this Shizi's memory was not bad. He clearly remembered what was written in the 'Buddhist Sutra of Measuring Pearls and Counting Pearls Merit and Virtue'. He was able to see through his deliberate mistakes. The third pinch was to abhor my undisguised desire for Princess Pei. As for the last pinch, it was interesting. He actually crushed a Tiantai Bodhi Seed that was as hard as gold and stone. Heh, I originally thought that he was going to shed all pretenses of cordiality, but I didn't expect that Zhao Xun's mental fortitude was already so good. This old man is even more experienced and ruthless. It seems that after pretending to cultivate and pray to Buddha for several decades, there are some results. In terms of acting skills, he is indeed better than me. "
Hsu Fengnian's words were teasing, but his tone was terrifyingly gloomy. He shook his uncomfortable clothes and leaned against the chair, repeating scene after scene in his mind. He recalled every detail of King of Jing'an's movements, Princess Pei's subtle frowning and relaxing, Zhao Xun's slight raising and lowering of his head.
Finally, Blue Bird entered the room with a set of Wang Dongxiang's' The First Snow '. Hsu Fengnian took the book, narrowed his eyes, and stood up to change his position. He sat on the chair that Princess Pei had sat on. With a hoodlum smile on his face, he raised his hand and clenched his five fingers. He changed his face into a mask and said in an intoxicated manner, "Comfortable. The tip of the lotus flower is raised, but it can't be higher than Xiao Niang's butt. Even though Wen Hua's words are crude, he directly said the great principle that scholars have to spend a lot of money to buy. "
Blue Bird was confused. She did not see the unrestrained undercurrent at the door. She reckoned that Xu Xiao was the only one in the world who dared to think deeply about Hsu Fengnian's daring feat. Hsu Fengnian pondered for a moment, then took out one of the books, 'The First Snow', printed by Qingying Study Room, and flipped through a few pages. If King of Jing'an and Princess Pei were present, they would definitely be shocked by the amazing memory of this nephew of Beiliang. He remembered that in 'The Sutra of Buddhist Studies and Counting of Beads', the multiplier of the merit of prayer beads was nothing. This was because the pages that Hsu Fengnian flipped through were exactly the same as the pages that Princess Pei had skipped through several times!
Thinking about the subtle changes in Princess Jing'an's expression every time, Hsu Fengnian lowered his head to look at the contents of the book. With a strange smile, he said, "This beautiful auntie does not seem like a woman who is soft on the outside but strong on the inside. Pei Kai, who was born in a rich and powerful family, is an unyielding literary hero, how could he train such a weak and delicate daughter? Compared to the women of Qingzhou who like to fight and scheme the most, she could be said to be a weirdo. I reckon that if this auntie was not so beautiful, she would not have been able to sit firmly in the position of Princess Consort of Jing'an Palace. Previously, I heard that little girl Lu Xiuer said that Princess Pei had caused the death of Zhao Xun's mother to be able to sit as the Princess Consort, and I believed it to be true. This little girl's skin has done a lot of harm. The next time I see her, I won't just touch her small hands and waist. "
Hsu Fengnian asked, "Blue Bird, where is the sandalwood box that I asked Wang Linquan to buy on Mount Lao? Go get it."
Blue Bird quietly left and returned. Hsu Fengnian opened the exquisitely crafted sandalwood box. Inside, there was a string of prayer beads that were rarely seen in the dynasty. The material used was called Po Luo Zi in the Western Regions, and the people of the Central Plains were used to call it 'Crown Prince'. This kind of prayer beads would not be cold in the winter, and would not be stained with sweat in the summer. The 'Crown Prince' was strung together in a circle, and had a very artistic name, 'Satisfaction'. It was a wonderful object that could not be bought with money. No matter who it was given to, it would not be degraded. If it was given to someone who believed in Buddhism, it was even better. Hsu Fengnian's original intention was to test the King of Jing'an fiercely when he arrived at Xiangfan. If they could coexist peacefully, he would give this precious bracelet to him. If they turned against each other, he would keep it for himself and give it to Miss Li, who had lived in the temple since she was young. That way, it would be more agreeable to her. It was just that in the time it took for a spark to fly off a piece of flint, Hsu Fengnian was worried that the King of Jing'an would see through the truth. He did not want to give Zhao Xun the impression that he was a cultured person on the outside, but a scheming person on the inside. Therefore, by chance, he came up with that stroke of genius. Tsk, tsk, tsk. That feeling was superb.
Hsu Fengnian closed the 'First Snow in the East Wing' book, which had won the title of 'The First Snow in the East Wing'. He said, "In a moment, have Ning Emei deliver this sandalwood box to the Jing'an Palace. Tell him to give it to Princess Pei. I don't believe that the King of Jing'an, this thousand-year coward, can continue to endure at home! If you make me unhappy, I will set your house on fire! "
Blue Bird softly agreed.
Hsu Fengnian suddenly asked, "Blue Bird, if I say that bastard Zhao Xun has some kind of abnormal fantasy about Princess Pei, would you believe me?"
Blue Bird calmly said, "I believe you."
Hsu Fengnian laughed coldly and said, "This family looks like a group of harmonious people, but turns out it's just a facade. So what if Zhao Xun has pinched the prayer beads a million times? Holding the prayer beads in one's hand can increase one's concentration and wisdom. Xu Xiao has already made it clear that he is too smart for his own good. Those who achieve great things must not use petty tricks and cleverness. Zhao Xun is a person who cannot let go of anything. If he is willing to let go of something, if he is unwilling to let go, how can he gain anything? "
