Chapter 11

When a court lady was pouring tea for Shen Yuan, she seemed to overturn the tea on purpose, and spilled all the tea on Shen Yuan's body.

"Saint monk, forgive me, slaves deserve death!"

Shen Yuan was a little helpless, recently it seemed that people often knelt down and worshiped him.

"What's going on?" came the majestic voice of the emperor sitting at the head.

The palace maid kneeling on the ground trembled.

Shen Yuan glanced at the tea stains on his body, then at the panic-stricken maid prostrated on the ground, and said in a tone of self-reproach: "Amitabha, you disturbed His Majesty, but the poor monk accidentally spilled the tea."

When the maid on the ground heard Shen Yuan's words, her prostrate body stopped shaking, and her face hidden between her arms showed guilt and gratitude.

"Holy Monk, are you alright? Do you have any burns?" the queen asked concerned.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern, the poor monk is fine!" Shen Yuan replied gently and calmly.

"Don't you take the holy monk to change clothes?" The queen looked at the maid in a dignified manner, and scolded in a stern tone.

"Amitabha, it's good for the poor monk to go by himself, and the poor monk is also out of place in this banquet, so I don't want to disturb everyone's interest!"

"This..." The queen looked at the emperor with some hesitation.

The emperor pretended to look at the vegetarian food on Shen Yuan's table, except for the overturned tea, the rest remained unchanged, the emperor shook his head, and said helplessly: "The holy monk doesn't eat after noon, I didn't think carefully, That's it, come on!"

"My lord!" A eunuch immediately came out from the side.

"Send the holy monk back so he can take care of him!" the emperor gently enjoined.

"Your Majesty! It was the poor monk who accidentally spilled the tea, which caused trouble for the benefactor. Can you let the benefactor get up?" Shen Yuan looked at the maid who was kneeling on the ground, and saluted the emperor.

"Since it's the holy monk's unintentional mistake, you can get away with it!" The emperor said indifferently
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you Saint Monk." The maid kowtowed heavily to the emperor, and kowtowed gratefully to Shen Yuan.

When the maid turned her head to face him, Shen Yuan immediately bent down to help him up, but he didn't do it the first time. Seeing that the maid was about to kowtow again, Shen Yuan raised his hand to support the maid's forehead so that she couldn't kowtow. Go down: "It's the poor monk who hurt the benefactor, the benefactor! Please get up! This poor monk deserves to be ashamed!"

Shen Yuan said this sincerely, he knew that these court ladies had too much involuntary control, and they were not qualified to refuse orders from anyone with higher status than her.The Buddha said: All living beings are equal, but in this world, the ruler is respected after all.

Following Shen Yuan's strength, the maid was lifted up, staggered a bit on the way, and quickly whispered something in Shen Yuan's ear: Be careful, holy monk!He immediately stepped aside and stood respectfully with his head bowed.

Shen Yuan naturally saw the gratitude in the court lady's eyes, he nodded calmly, not knowing whether it was to the emperor and others or to the court lady: "The poor monk resigns!"

Shen Yuan left with the eunuch as usual.

As soon as Shen Yuan stepped into Fo Ning Hall, a court lady brought monk robes, as if she had been waiting here for a long time

When Shen Yuan stepped into the Zen room, he realized that something was wrong. He watched the eunuch order the maids to put down the monk robes calmly, and then a group of court ladies retreated in an orderly manner. They did not speak during the whole process, just like puppets without emotion.

The eunuch ordered the maid to put down the clothes, and then said respectfully to Shen Yuan: "The holy monk, change the wet clothes!"

"Okay, please trouble the benefactor!" Shen Yuan nodded to the eunuch.

The eunuch quietly stood aside with his head bowed.

Shen Yuan smiled slightly, glanced at his tea-stained monk robe, and said gently: "The benefactor has worked hard, so go back and return to your life first!"

"Don't worry, after the holy monk changes his robes, the maidservant will send the wet robes of the holy monk to be washed!" The eunuch had a professional smile on his face, and his voice was lowered respectfully.

"Benefactor! You don't want to bother others!" Although he knew that leaving this "evidence" could not be kept, Shen Yuan still wanted to maintain his personality in this world. That skeptical character could not tell what trouble he had.

"Holy monk, this is the rule of the palace!" The eunuch didn't explain anything, the order from above was to take away the clothes, and it was the best "excuse" to directly use the rules that the holy monk didn't know.

A word of rules left Shen Yuan speechless, so he nodded and changed his robe.

After the eunuch took his clothes and left, Shen Yuan walked to the incense burner, took off the three green incense sticks burning in the incense burner, replaced them with another bunch and made the burning lengths the same.

Shen Yuan sat down on the meditation seat, crossed his legs, and quietly closed his eyes.

After a stick of incense or so time.

"Shen Yuan." A slightly immature female voice sounded behind Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan's eyelashes trembled slightly, but he didn't respond as if he was asleep.

The woman walked lightly in front of Shen Yuan, and saw that Shen Yuan's face was flushed, his breathing was unsteady, and his brows were tightly frowned.

The woman stretched out her small hand and shook it in front of Shen Yuan's eyes. Seeing that Shen Yuan didn't respond, she gritted her white teeth lightly, her face was disturbed, nervous, determined, and more shy.

She stretched out her hand to support Shen Yuan's arm, put him on his shoulder, and dragged him onto the step with difficulty.
