Shocking! In this matriarchal society, every man wants to marry me!

Chapter 92 Shura Field Pre-Order

"This matter..." Lord Zhao hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.

"The virtuous prince naturally knows about this." A light, airy voice came from behind the government office.

Zhongtian looked up and saw Lexingxi!

He was dressed in a black monk's robe, and his hair had been shaved off, leaving a bald head, but it did not obscure his beauty in the slightest.

He placed a red mole between his eyebrows, which added a touch of allure to his already somewhat holy appearance.

Lord Zhao hurriedly got up from his official chair, ran to Le Xingxi's side, put his hands together, and said, "Lord Le."

His Majesty knew that Le Xingxi was practicing under the guidance of a master and feared that he would be bullied or wronged, so he granted him an official position for his practice, allowing him to be exempt from bowing to officials and to hold a very high seniority.

The constable next to him quickly moved a stool over, and Le Xingxi sat down: "The virtuous prince sent me to check on things, so that Lady Zhong wouldn't be wronged. His Majesty and the prince both know about the cotton doll incident and have tacitly approved of it."

Things started a month ago.

The princes in the palace originally only wanted to make a cute cotton doll for their own collection. However, the portrait was lost, and the portraits of the princes were spread everywhere. The princes were raised in seclusion, and ordinary people could not possibly peek into their lives. This was an offense.

When Le Xingxi entered the palace, the virtuous prince was lying on the bed, crying uncontrollably. His eyes were extremely red. When he saw Le Xingxi enter the palace, he turned his head away and ignored him, clearly still angry that the person he had found was so unreliable.

The tutor beside him, fearing that the two children who had grown up together might have developed a rift, quickly explained, "Master Yue, my prince is angry. These children are everywhere. Just now, several princes were looking for His Majesty, saying that they wanted His Majesty to take charge and cut off the head of that madman named Zhongtian."

Le Xingxi smiled, glanced at the prince who was sulking on the bed, and said softly, "It's alright, I'll wait here until he's calmed down before I talk to him."

The teacher served Le Xingxi a cup of tea, but Le Xingxi didn't drink it. Instead, he held an abacus and started calculating rapidly.

The sound of the abacus disturbed the virtuous prince's mind. He turned his head and glared at Le Xingxi unhappily: "You've entered the pure land of Buddhism, spending your days with ancient lamps and Buddha statues, yet you've somehow acquired a bit of a businessman's demeanor and become a bit greedy."

Le Xingxi clapped his hands, and immediately two large wooden crates were carried in.

The virtuous prince asked with some curiosity, "What is this?"

Le Xingxi took a piece of paper from her bosom and handed it to the virtuous prince: "Take a look, I was also asked to do this."

The document expresses the hope that the virtuous prince and several other princes will agree to use their portraits, and that for every portrait sold, they will receive one-tenth of the selling price.

After reading it, the virtuous prince's eyes reddened with anger. He threw the paper on the ground: "Le Xingxi, we grew up together, and I really misjudged you. How could I be the kind of person who would sell myself for a little money? I am His Majesty's younger brother..."

But then he paused, "But... it's not that it's impossible."

Listening to the virtuous prince's complaints, Le Xingxi opened the two large wooden boxes.

The gold inside glittered so brightly that even the virtuous prince's voice seemed to soften.

“I know that the virtuous prince is of noble status, and I have offended him. Although this much silver is only a small part of the total, and there will be a continuous flow of wealth in the future, our prince is a man who cannot be corrupted by wealth or subdued by power. I will go and tell Lady Zhong to kowtow and apologize, and give up on this idea.”

The virtuous prince held Le Xingxi's hand and swayed it from side to side.

"Really that many?"

"more than this……"

"Give it all to me?"

"Yes."

"...I agree."

"What about the other princes?"

"I'll go and say it, I'll go and say it."

Xia Lan was momentarily disillusioned, unable to accept that these princes could actually be persuaded with money.

But Nakata knows very well that in this world, who doesn't love money?

Although the princes were extremely noble, they were like caged birds in the palace, living on a monthly allowance. Favored princes were better off, receiving rewards from time to time, while unfavored princes had a very difficult life. Having money to rely on was a source of confidence for them, whether they were to get married or stay in the palace.

Ultimately, where are there really people who are completely detached from worldly concerns?

Zhongtian would send Ye Qing to occasionally tour the market and conduct user research. A long time ago, Ye Qing discovered the Prince's Cotton Doll on the market and informed Zhongtian about it.

It was too late for Zhongtian to stop it, so she sought out the reclusive Le Xingxi and went to the palace to obtain the princes' consent.

After leaving the government office, Zhou Qiaohui was imprisoned. Zhou Xiaodi's eyes were filled with a deathly aura. He had suffered such a great blow to his body and mind that he could no longer bear it.

Le Xingxi walked up to Zhou Xiaodi and said, "May Buddha have mercy, why not convert to Buddhism?"

Zhou Xiaodi raised his eyes and slowly said, "Thank you, Venerable Le... I..."

Le Xingxi patted Zhou Xiaodi's head. "The Buddha's teachings can save all suffering souls. May you find new life in the peace of your heart."

……

Since leaving the government office, Zhong Tian had been closely watching Xia Muning's every move, extremely worried about Xia Muning's health. Xia Jin'an and Le Xingxi walked behind, and the atmosphere among the four was quite awkward.

Xia Jin'an spoke first: "Madam Zhong... Young Master, Master Yue, Madam Zhong has just been released from prison. I have ordered a feast to welcome her back. Let's go together."

Xia Muning's smile remained unchanged as she glanced at Zhong Tian and said, "Okay."

Zhong Tian glanced at Le Xingxi, hoping he wouldn't come over and cause trouble. But whether Le Xingxi misunderstood or pretended not to understand, he nodded and said, "Thank you, it would be impolite to refuse!"

It wasn't mealtime, so there was no one at Tian An Ju, but a table of delicious-looking dishes had already been prepared in the private room.

Xia Jin'an said with some guilt, "I didn't know that Master Le would be here today, so I didn't prepare any vegetarian dishes. I'll have the kitchen prepare some right away."

Le Xingxi stopped him, saying, "It's alright. I've always wanted to try Tian Anju's cooking. As the saying goes, 'Wine and meat pass through the intestines, but Buddha remains in the heart.' I don't have any dietary restrictions."

Zhongtian asked, "I heard that Master Yue is a lay disciple, so why did you shave off all your beautiful hair?"

Le Xingxi touched her head; it felt a little prickly.

“Three thousand strands of beautiful hair are like three thousand strands of troubles. My master said that I had too many distracting thoughts in my mind, so he made me shave off my head of beautiful hair.”

"Although I listened to my master's words, I am a person of the mortal world and have never left this mortal world."

Xia Muning placed a piece of meat from the table onto Zhong Tian's plate and asked cryptically, "Lord Yue, can someone like you, who has transcended worldly affairs, marry and have children like ordinary people?"

The previously peaceful atmosphere suddenly became tense.
