Chapter 150: Meeting by Chance
"Brother Shangguan, it's better to meet by chance than to meet by chance. How about sitting down and having a drink?"
Liu Zhao had a good impression of Shangguan Mi and hurriedly invited him to sit down.
Ma Zhuang immediately asked the waiter to bring some wine.
"This is Brother Shangguan Mi!"
Liu Zhao introduced him to Wei Jin.
"Brother Shangguan!"
Wei Jin greeted him immediately without any hesitation.
Shangguan Mi glanced at Wei Jin. Isn’t this the girl from last time?
This looks somewhat familiar.
"This is my fiancée, Deng Yi!"
Liu Zhao felt a little embarrassed unconsciously!
Last time I told Shangguan Mi that Chu Lan was the girlfriend he eloped with, and this time he brought a fiancée with him.
I don’t know what my character will look like in Shangguan Mi’s eyes!
But it doesn’t matter!
I have already told Deng Yi that there is no such thing as deceiving her.
Shangguan Mi knew it very well, so of course he couldn't ask what was going on.
But I was a little envious of Liu Zhao.
The people he takes with him when he goes out are all stunning beauties!
"This is the bodyguard I hired!"
Liu Zhao then introduced Ma Zhuang.
"Nice to meet you!"
Shangguan Mi greeted the two of them politely.
Ma Zhuang nodded.
Looking at Ma Zhuang's physique, it's no wonder that Xu Tao couldn't defeat him even with seven or eight other people.
"Brother Shangguan, I left in a hurry because of the heavy rain that day. I'm really sorry!"
"Great! I was just about to apologize to Brother Liu. I was so worried about the flood that day that I left in a hurry. I thought we'd never meet again, but I never expected this opportunity to happen!"
"Haha! Brother Shangguan isn't an official at court, but he cares so much about the people. He truly has a kind heart and compassion for the people!"
"Alas! Brother Liu, you don't know that I am now forced to temporarily take over the position of County Magistrate of Hongnong County!"
"is it?"
Liu Zhao was asking the question even though he knew the answer.
"Alas! For this disaster relief, the court sent the Minister of Finance and the Crown Prince together. Things are really complicated, and the Crown Prince is... well, let's not talk about it!"
"Haha, is the prince really useless?"
Liu Zhao himself felt embarrassed.
I didn't expect that Shangguan Mi also thought of me like that.
But this is perfectly normal!
Everyone in the world who knows the prince knows that he is a fool.
"Brother Shangguan, is the prince still a fool?"
Wei Jin interrupted and asked, secretly glad that the emperor agreed to cancel the engagement.
Otherwise, how can I live with a fool?
Liu Zhao was stunned. Wei Jin also knew that the prince was a fool!
I don’t know what she will think when she finds out that I am the prince!
It seems that under the current circumstances, she cannot possibly know that he is the crown prince!
"That's not the case. I heard that the prince was once mentally retarded and has only just recovered. He lacks experience, so how could he be capable of providing disaster relief?"
Shangguan Mi told the truth.
"Where did you hear that?"
Liu Zhao was very curious. Could it be that Song Xian said that?
"I'm afraid everyone in the world knows that the prince has returned to normal! And even pretending it's the Buddha's arrival is ridiculous! What do you think?"
Shangguan Mi said seriously.
Liu Zhao, of course, didn't know how to respond, so he picked up his glass and said, "Brother Shangguan, it's rare for us to meet again, let's drink!"
"Come on, sister-in-law, do you want to drink?"
Shangguan Mi picked up the wine glass.
"I can't drink!"
Wei Jin shook his head.
"She has a cold and can't drink!"
Liu Zhao smiled.
"Okay, let's do it!"
Shangguan Mi knew Liu Zhao's drinking capacity.
Finish a glass and put it on the table.
Wei Jin took the wine glass and poured wine for both of them.
"Brother Liu, isn't it ridiculous that you said the prince was possessed by Buddha?"
Shangguan Mi was still dwelling on this topic.
"I think everything is possible!"
Liu Zhao turned a blind eye.
"Then you believe it a little!"
Shangguan Mi said with a smile.
"Actually, I think Buddhism is so widespread that it must be credible!"
"You're right. I agree that Buddhism teaches people to be kind! But if you say that the Buddha really exists, I absolutely don't believe it!"
"If you don't want to believe it, then don't believe it! But the prince has indeed become normal, so how do you explain it?"
Liu Zhao subconsciously cleared himself.
It also paves the way for recognizing one's own identity in the future.
Especially for Deng Yi, let her be mentally prepared.
"That's easy to explain. I heard that the prince was very smart when he was young, but he became a little stupid after catching a cold. But as he grows older, he will naturally recover!"
"Then I heard that the prince can compose poetry as soon as he recovers to normal. Why is that?" Wei Jin interrupted and asked.
"I find this strange too. The most likely scenario is that they prepared for this beforehand, and someone taught them!"
"impossible!"
Before Liu Zhao could say anything, Wei Jin rushed to speak.
The questions my father asked at that time were indeed something he thought of at the last minute and he had not prepared them in advance at all.
"Sister-in-law, you're just guessing! You underestimate those people in the court. The schemes they play are beyond your imagination!"
Shangguan Mi felt that Wei Jin was young after all and would easily believe other people's lies.
"Okay!" Wei Jin was speechless, but she firmly believed that her father would not lie to her.
But I can’t explain why the prince would write poetry after he became normal!
"Brother Shangguan, have you ever heard of something?"
Liu Zhao thought of the relic and insisted on taking it out to prove the fact of possession!
It also paves the way for your future legitimacy.
Ma Zhuang watched the door vigilantly.
Afraid that Xu Tao would bring people in.
As for what several people were discussing!
That's not something you should care about.
"what?"
"Relic?"
"Relics? I've heard of them, but I've never seen them!"
"I've seen it, and I saw it with my own eyes!"
Here, it is inevitable to brag a little, otherwise it will not be credible.
"What are sarira?" Wei Jin asked curiously.
"Some Buddhist monks or believers will leave behind many colorful beads when they die and are cremated!"
"No way! Aren't there just bones after a person is cremated? How can there be colorful beads?"
Wei Jin's curiosity was aroused.
"I've read about it in some books, but I think it's all fabricated. But since Brother Liu has seen it in person, that's another story. It's truly bizarre!"
"So I think the Buddha would rather believe it exists than not! As for the prince's wisdom, I think the Buddha's possession is very credible!"
Shangguan Mi nodded.
"Now that you put it that way, I believe it a little too! It's like the prince's poem is about wine and meat passing through the intestines, but the Buddha remains in the heart! It doesn't sound very good at first, but when you think about it carefully, it makes a lot of sense!"
"Makes sense? I don't think so!"
Wei Jin obviously didn't think that much.
"Buddhism emphasizes the emptiness of the five aggregates. Many people think that simply abstaining from meat and women is emptiness. However, from this poem, it seems that as long as you have Buddha in your heart, everything else is external. This is the true emptiness!"
"well said!"
Liu Zhao couldn't help but applaud. Shangguan Mi was really suitable to be a secretary.
He can always make some sense out of whatever he says.
"Then this prince is really possessed by the Buddha!"
After hearing Shangguan Mi's explanation, Wei Jin seemed to be thinking about something.
