Chapter 116 You said the four elements are empty, but you closed your eyes tightly
Cao Rui hurried forward, gently held Liu Ying's hand, and said softly:
"You look so stunning in this dress that I can hardly open my eyes. How can you not be happy?"
Liu Ying held Cao Rui's hands with her backhand and asked seriously:
"It's because this dress is so luxurious that I'm worried that you'll make a mistake. Tell me honestly where this dress came from, so we can see if there's any chance to fix it."
Case solved!
It turns out that she was the one who made her frown, so it's okay.
Cao Rui couldn't say that the clothes came from the future, so he could only make up a lie to comfort her:
"You know the Xueru Silk Shop on Qianmen Street, it was originally one of the eight great silk shops in Beijing, and it has been passed down for hundreds of years. I spent a lot of effort to make a few robes and I want to sell them for a good price."
"I didn't expect that the situation was turbulent and I lost everything. I happened to be familiar with the boss Xueru, so I bought them at a low price."
Liu Ying breathed a sigh of relief. As long as no mistakes were made, it would be fine. As for that boss Xueru, she knew right away that the relationship was unclear.
Otherwise, why would I sell you such a gorgeous robe at such a low price?
However, Liu Ying had already decided to turn a blind eye. After all, the two of them were destined to be apart for a long time in the future, and she would not be able to satisfy her man at all.
When I think about it this way, I realize that time is running out and I must seize every minute.
Liu Ying didn't care about being embarrassed and said, "It's getting late, let's go to bed early."
"Don't worry!"
"Tonight is our wedding night, so we have to have some fun so that when we get old and have arguments, we can still smile when we talk about it."
"What program?"
Liu Ying was a little tempted, after all, she was still at an age where she wanted to have fun.
Cao Rui took the opportunity to tempt him, "You have read Journey to the West, right? From now on, you are the King of my Kingdom of Women, and I am a Tibetan monk who is determined to travel west. You must use your charm to seduce me to stay in the Kingdom of Women."
Liu Ying looked down at her clothes and suddenly realized that all this was premeditated. She couldn't help but spit:
"Mom is right, you are not a good person."
"This is a matter of husband and wife, and has nothing to do with whether or not you are a good person. Your Majesty, please agree to it."
……
Finally, Liu Ying couldn't resist Cao Rui's constant nagging and agreed to perform.
Because I watched it when I was a child, it has been so long that I have forgotten some of the plot. I even found a book called Journey to the West among the pile of old papers and relived the plot.
Act Two, Night Conversation in the Palace.
Liu Ying plays the King of the Kingdom of Women (with affection):
"Brother, look at this imperial garden, it's so beautiful in spring, and the scenery is so pleasant. I'll accompany you to enjoy it for a while, okay?"
"As a queen, I have enjoyed wealth and splendor. But I have never enjoyed the joys of the world. Today, my brother is here, which is a match made in heaven. In the future, my brother will ascend the throne and I will be the queen. From now on, we will live together and fly together. Isn't this a great joy?"
Cao Rui plays Tang Monk (sweat on forehead, head lowered):
"Your Majesty, I have devoted myself to Buddhism to save all living beings, to make sure that there is no more killing, punishment, or disputes in the world, and no more resentful women and widowers. The Buddha's heart is empty of the four elements, and I have no worldly desires. I have no chance to enjoy the wealth and honor of the world. Amitabha."
Liu Ying (walks slowly towards Cao Rui):
"You said that the four elements are empty, but you closed your eyes tightly. If you open your eyes and look at me, I don't believe that your eyes are empty. If you don't dare to open your eyes and look at me, how can you say that the four elements are empty?"
Cao Rui (opens his eyes slightly, then closes them again, clasps his hands together):
"Amitabha!"
Liu Ying (gently pulling Cao Rui's sleeve):
"Brother, don't close your eyes, open them, just open your eyes."
Cao Rui (opens his eyes slowly, somewhat afraid to look directly):
"What if I just open my eyes and look at you?"
Liu Ying (shy):
"Brother, don't you really like me? Today is a rare good night, just agree to it."
Cao Rui (helpless, a little choked up):
"Your Majesty, I have pledged my allegiance to Buddhism and have made a promise to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. I hope Your Majesty will let me go west. If we are destined to meet again in the next life..."
Liu Ying (anxiously):
"I only want this life, not the next. We are destined to be together in this life. Brother, please agree to it."
"..."
Cao Rui did not have the composure of Elder Tang. Looking at the affectionate eyes of the Queen of the Kingdom of Women, ripples appeared in his heart and he almost agreed.
Marry the queen, become a king, and from now on you will only envy the mandarin ducks and not the immortals!
Seeing that the play was about to end, Cao Rui hurriedly pinched his thigh flesh, using the pain to suppress the emotions in his heart, and slowly said:
"Your Majesty, I really cannot stay here. The journey to the West is long, the true scriptures have not yet been obtained, and sentient beings are still suffering. How can I give up my mission for my own selfish reasons?"
Liu Ying had tears in her eyes and said in a trembling voice:
"Brother, is it possible that the love in this world cannot compare to the true scriptures in the West?"
Cao Rui put his hands together, bowed deeply, and said:
"Your Majesty, it's not that love is inferior to the true scriptures, but that all living beings in this world need the guidance of the true scriptures to escape from the sea of suffering. If I were to indulge in temporary pleasures, I would be betraying all living beings."
Liu Ying was silent for a long time, and finally sighed:
"Forget it. Since you have such great ambitions, how can I force you to stay? I just hope you have a safe journey and can obtain the true scriptures as soon as possible."
"Thank you for your help, Your Majesty. I will definitely fulfill my mission."
Cao Rui saluted again, seeming to be relieved and regretful, and his originally firm steps were filled with an imperceptible heaviness.
As he was about to step out of the bedroom, he couldn't help but look back one last time.
He saw the Queen of the Kingdom of Women staring at his receding back, tears already streaming down her face, but no sound came out.
What an infatuated beauty!
Cao Rui's heart was broken. After all, he did not have the determination of Elder Tang. He ran back, hugged Liu Ying tightly in his arms, and said emotionally:
"Your Majesty, I will not leave. It does not matter if you do not want this sutra. I wish to spend my life with Your Majesty!"
Liu Ying was stunned at first, then burst into laughter and said angrily:
"How come you become so fast, monk?"
Cao Rui gently wiped away the tears on Liu Ying's face and said:
"Faced with your majesty's deep affection, I can no longer resist. Although the mission in this world is heavy, compared with your majesty's love, what is it?"
Liu Ying leaned in Cao Rui's arms, with a happy smile on her face:
"That's great. For the rest of our lives, you and I will never be apart again."
They smiled at each other and walked towards the wedding bed hand in hand.
At this moment, the entire plot of Journey to the West seemed to have been rewritten.
……
The next morning, sunlight shone through the window into the house. Liu Ying slowly opened her eyes and saw that there was no one around her. She couldn't help but said anxiously:
"Brother Yudi, Brother Yudi..."
Just as Liu Ying was calling out anxiously, Cao Rui walked into the room with breakfast in hand and smiled:
"Your Majesty, please don't worry. I am here."
Upon hearing this, Liu Ying slapped her forehead, blaming herself for getting too deep into the role, and also blaming Cao Rui for being too good at making trouble. She gave him a reproachful look:
"In the play, it is Tang Monk who has to travel far away, but he finally chooses to stay and be with the Queen of the Kingdom of Women forever."
"In reality, I am going on a long journey. Are you deliberately trying to make me feel more guilty?"
Heaven and earth conscience!
That's not the point, it's just for fun.
Cao Rui put breakfast on the table, walked to the bed and gently hugged Liu Ying:
"Tang Monk went to the West to become a Buddha, and he will never come back after he left. We will be separated for a while at most, and there will always be a way to meet if we want to. How can we compare them?"
