話說太后傳旨，要召見長頭道濟，監寺的德輝趕緊各處尋找濟公，找到廟後，只見濟公在廟後正同幾個孩童在一處玩耍。這廟後面住著幾家住戶，有幾個小孩都愛跟濟公說笑。德輝來至切近說：「濟師弟，太后來拈香來了。」濟公說：「太后拈香來了，與我何乾？」德輝說：「太后傳你去哪！」濟公說：「叫我去做什麼？」德輝說：「我不知道。」濟公說：「既然如是，我去瞧瞧。」德輝說：「你別這個樣子去呀，先到廟裡洗洗臉，換上衣服，帶上僧帽，再去恭恭敬敬的。倘若衝撞了太后，那如何擔得起！」濟公說：「不要緊，我就這樣去，我也不洗臉，我恐怕風大把臉吹了。」德輝說他不聽，這才帶領濟公來到前面，先見了秦相。濟公本是秦相的替僧，素日秦相知道濟公有些瘋瘋癲癲。秦相先到太后駕前行禮，說：「啟稟太后，長頭道濟有些瘋瘋癲癲，衣服襤褸不堪，恐衝撞了鳳駕。」太后說：「不要緊，我不怪他，只管叫他前來見我。」秦相下來說：「聖僧恭敬些，千萬不可怠懈。」

Now, the Empress Dowager had sent down her command to summon Warden Daoji, and Dehui, the prior, hurried off to look for Ji Gong everywhere. He found him behind the temple, playing with a few children. Several families lived back there, and some of their little ones loved joking and laughing with Ji Gong. Dehui came up close. “Brother Ji,” he said, “the Empress Dowager has come to burn incense.” “So the Empress Dowager has come to burn incense,” said Ji Gong. “What’s that to do with me?” “The Empress Dowager is sending for you!” said Dehui. “What does she want me for?” said Ji Gong. “I don’t know,” said Dehui. “In that case,” said Ji Gong, “I’ll go and have a look.” “Don’t go like that!” said Dehui. “First go into the temple, wash your face, change your clothes and put on a monk’s cap, and then go, and be very respectful. If you give offence to the Empress Dowager, how could any of us bear the blame?” “Never mind,” said Ji Gong. “I’ll go just as I am. I won’t wash my face either. With a wind this strong, I’m afraid it would blow my face away.” Dehui talked and talked, but he would not listen, so Dehui led him round to the front, where they first saw Chancellor Qin. Ji Gong was Chancellor Qin’s substitute monk, and the chancellor had long known that Ji Gong was a bit mad. Chancellor Qin went before the Empress Dowager first, made his obeisance and said, “May it please Your Majesty, Warden Daoji is somewhat mad, and his clothes are in tatters. I fear he may give offence to Your Majesty.” “No matter,” said the Empress Dowager. “I shan’t hold it against him. Just have him come and see me.” Chancellor Qin came down and said, “Holy monk, show a little respect. On no account be careless.”
濟公哈哈一笑，跟著來到太后駕前。太后一看，果然跟夢中見的和尚一般。
济公哈哈一笑，跟着来到太后驾前。太后一看，果然跟梦中见的和尚一般。
Ji Gong roared with laughter and followed him before the Empress Dowager. She looked at him: he was exactly like the monk she had seen in her dream.
濟公一打問訊，太后說：「你是長頭道濟？」和尚說。
济公一打问讯，太后说：「你是长头道济？」和尚说。
Ji Gong saluted her with joined palms. “Are you Warden Daoji?” said the Empress Dowager. The monk said:
