Chapter Ninety-Five: The Princess Becomes a Monk
I don't want much, but why can't you give it to me?
Li Lingyue didn't want to believe it, but Li Zhou's eyes and Li Zhou's smile made her have no fear, no panic, no fear, a sense of peace of mind, and a sense of home protection.
"You're not crying, okay? As soon as you started crying, my heart kept shaking and shaking, and I couldn't be at peace. Li Zhou gently comforted Li Lingyue, a little girl encounters such a thing, who is not sad, who is not sad, who is not desperate.
"Okay, don't cry, don't cry, is there a royal brother? The sky is falling, and the royal brother is here, okay, don't cry, it's not good to cry, you look at what a beautiful beauty my imperial sister is, it's really not good to cry again. β
Li Lingyue stopped crying, staring at Li Zhou with big eyes, Li Zhou hooked her hand, Li Lingyue obediently came to Li Zhou's side, Li Zhou muttered in her ear, Li Lingyue's face kept changing, sometimes happy, sometimes crying, sometimes sad, sometimes weird, after speaking, Li Lingyue was gloomy and uncertain, with various expressions on her little face, which was very good-looking.
"As for you, just do what the imperial brother says, so that not only will the father and queen mother not be able to persecute you, but those officials will not trouble you, so you can stay at home with peace of mind and do whatever you want? I don't have to marry to that hellish place. β
"You may hold on for a while, though, can you do it?"
Li Lingyue nodded firmly, her red and swollen eyes kept thanking Li Zhou, Li Zhou rubbed her little head, and admonished: "This may have to wronged you for a while, and when the turmoil is over, you can go out and play casually." β
Pity, pity eyes, Li Lingyue really felt Li Zhou's care, doting, this is completely different from what she felt in her father and queen mother, the kind of doting of her father and queen mother is short-lived, once something happens, she will not care about her life or death, and Li Zhou is like this? It is real, real, will not use you as a bargaining chip, and will not hesitate to help you if you are in any danger.
It is really this kind of feeling that Li Lingyue remembers in her heart, and she can't forget it until later, so that her life has undergone earth-shaking changes, and she is no longer the princess of Tianping who is rude and willful, arrogant and domineering, and does whatever she wants.
On this day, Li Lingyue went out of the Zhou Palace, reluctantly got into the carriage, left the palace, and returned to Mrs. Rongguo's mansion.
On the third day of Li Lingyue's return, a blockbuster news came out from Mrs. Rongguo's house, the daughter of the current saint, the dearest and only daughter of the queen's mother, Li Lingyue, in the third year of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Dasheng Daxiao Emperor Xianheng, that is, in 672 AD, prayed for the deceased Mrs. Rongguo, and became a female Taoist priest, with the Taoist name "Taiping", that is, the Taiping princess in the later life. (Note: The history books record that the age of eight is eight, and some say that it is six years old, which is elusive, so it was used as seven years old, I hope you don't mind.) οΌ
This blockbuster news soon spread all over Chang'an, and there were many discussions about this matter inside and outside Chang'an City, and it was difficult to calm down for a while, and the authenticity of the facts, after some Jin Wuwei, Yulin Jun, and even the minister of the dynasty, Pei Yan, personally confirmed, the news was confirmed by some well-intentioned people, stirring up a thousand waves.
"Hey, have you heard? The daughter of the Holy One today, I heard that she is a Taoist monk today? β
"You know about it, too? I don't know if you know what that princess's name is? β
The rest of the people, you look at me, I look at you, shaking their heads, I don't know why, their eyes are on the person who came out I don't know when, they don't know who this person is? Where do you live? What is the surname? Nothing is known, but their curiosity is unquenchable.
"What's it called? This brother. β
"This brother seems to be someone who knows some inside information, so you might as well tell me what is going on? Brother Tai, I paid for today's meal. β
"Yes, brother, a little money, don't care, please come quickly." A person spoke, and the curious people around him took out the silver and put it in the hand of the brother, who did not refuse, took the silver, coughed, and said slowly: "You don't know, I also listened to the son of the eldest lady next door to my house, the eldest lady's son is on an errand in the big man's house, as for what the big man is, I won't say it." β
"Understood, understood, brother, please continue."
"The princess became a monk, it is said that she prayed for the blessing of the dead Mrs. Rongguo, who is Mrs. Rongguo? You should know, right? The man asked the people around him, and shook his head one after another, I haven't heard of this character, if you want to talk about Lord Di Renjiedi, they still know, this Mrs. Rongguo, they really don't know.
"Brother Tai is talking about the deceased mother of the current queen?"
A voice came in, arousing the curiosity of the people around him, staring at the person who walked in, this is a very ordinary-looking person, the public face, standing in the crowd can not be found, he smiled at the person above, a weird smile, the people around thought that the two were just greeting, and didn't care much.
"Oh."
"I see."
"I'll just say it."
Instead, he looked at the person who received the money and urged: "Brother, hurry up." β
"In order to pray for the dead Mrs. Rongguo, Her Royal Highness the little princess specially became a monk, and the road number is Taiping, it is said that it is to pray for us and other people to live a peaceful life, in order to make us and others live a peaceful life, no more wars, no more starvation, Princess Taiping is willing to become a monk."
"So?"
"The princess is so nice."
"I really might as well wait."
Knowing the reason, everyone who satisfied their curiosity dispersed one after another, and the reason for Li Lingyue's renunciation spread throughout Chang'an in an instant, and even the two above knew about it, as for those who passed on the news, they had already disappeared, and no one knew how they appeared and how they disappeared, only remembered that there were some people.
Somewhere in a mountain village, a huge waterwheel is constantly rotating, and the sound of the iron striking and the burning of the stove are endless, and in a holiday, a voice came out: "This time you have done a good job, the young master is very satisfied, this is your salary, go back." β
"Thank you butler, thank you young master."
After the silence of the sound, the place returned to calm, and the sound of the waterwheel turning and the murmuring of the stream created a picture of tranquility.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Your Majesty, I don't know where this news came from, and suddenly it caused a sensation in the entire Chang'an, and now the people in the entire Chang'an know that Her Royal Highness the princess has become a monk, for them, for the blessing of Mrs. Rongguo, if she marries her to Tubo again, I'm afraid it will be ......."
There was silence above, there was no sound, the more this was the case, the more nervous the soldiers who reported the news below, the armor on their backs was already wet with sweat, and it became heavier and heavier, as if they were carrying a thousand pounds of boulders on their bodies, unable to get up.
As the minutes passed, it became heavier and heavier, he felt that his breathing was short, and he breathed heavily, and the atmosphere became very subtle, so frightened that he did not dare to move, even if he moved his body, he would be seen.
"Can you know if these news are coming from Lady Rongguo's mansion?"
Li Zhi's voice sounded slowly, without the slightest emotion, not like anger, not like angry, and did not scold, sitting quietly on it, the soldier did not dare to raise his head, and replied truthfully: "Back to Your Majesty, my subordinates don't know." β
"Don't know?"
"Yes? Your Majesty. The voice trembled, the body trembled, the soldier's head lowered even lower, and continued to explain: "Back to Your Majesty, the subordinates searched for the source of these news for the first time, but found that everyone knew about it, and there was no need for people to spread it, and by the time the lowly people arrived, those people had disappeared, and it seemed that they were not from Chang'an at all. β
"Not from Chang'an?"
It was still a sentence, never said much, but it made the soldier even more depressed, and his heart was about to stop.
"Yes."
replied mechanically, not daring to hide it, and after a while of muttering, he said, "Go down." β
"Yes."
The soldier trembled and retreated, leaving the palace, and only then did he exhale deeply, and not long after he left, another figure came out of it, rushing to the palace of Mrs. Rongguo, still holding a holy decree in his hand.
Not long after, Li Lingyue received this holy decree, every sentence on the holy decree was just as Li Zhou said, there was not much difference, at that moment, Li Lingyue was grateful, there was no need to go to that ghost place, she could stay in Chang'an.
"I don't have to leave."
"I don't have to marry that guy anymore, I can live carefree."
At the moment when she held the holy decree, Li Lingyue had all kinds of feelings in her heart, and after experiencing one scene after another, she found how fragile her strength was at this moment, and what she had done before was so naΓ―ve.
"I have to thank my royal brother."
Take the holy decree, Li Lingyue said to herself.
And some people are happy, naturally some people are unhappy, from the moment Li Lingyue became a monk and escaped from his relatives, Zhong Cong was told that he had failed to make peace with his relatives, and asked him to go home, and there was no need to talk about his relatives anymore.
Zhong Cong was very unhappy when he heard the news, but he endured it and did not get angry immediately, after sending away the eunuch who announced the holy decree, his face changed to cold, and he said angrily: "I will make you pay." β
Leaving a sentence of indignation, Zhong Cong left Chang'an and returned to Tubo, it was a long time later, and for this matter, Zhong Cong regarded it as a shame, and it was difficult to calm the anger in his heart without retaliating against Datang, so there was something after.
(There will be some things in the next three days, and the update will be a little problematic, but it won't be delayed, so please forgive me.) οΌ
