Sixteen years ago, Yu Wenhui, who was twenty-eight years old, returned to Beishao, Beishao was established for five years, Yuwen Chenqi established himself as the emperor, and it took five years to stabilize the Beishao regime, buy people's hearts, and return the old department of the dead dynasty to Beishao, before taking his elderly mother and sister from his hometown to the capital of Beishao.

Yuwenhui is gifted and intelligent, not as weak as other women, she likes to read, writes well, is smart and clever, and wins the heart of Yuwen Chenqi, and is favored by her eldest brother. Yuwen Chenqi specially ordered the political envoy in the palace to personally tutor Yuwenhui's homework, and at that time, the person who served as the political envoy in the palace to compile the Beishao Chronicle was called Lu Qingyan. He since the death of Feng, with the old father of the family moved to Beishao, replacing the elderly father became the political envoy of Beishao, Lu Qingyan was exactly forty years old, the family has already married a good wife, his appearance is dignified and decent, he is full of poetry and books and is well-informed, it is for this reason that Yuwen Chenqi specially arranged for Lu Qingyan to become Yuwenhui's master.

However, it is such a pampering sister's move, but in the following year completely changed the fate of Yu Wenhui, Lu Qingyan's homework tutoring of Yu Wenhui is not limited to the court, but often takes Yu Wenhui out to see different customs, a year later, the gossip inside and outside the court continues, there is an ambiguous point to his master and apprentice, disguised sarcasm Lu Qingyan for clinging to the powerful, completely ignoring the pregnant wife at home, in vain as a teacher.

In order to calm down the rumors and stabilize the government, Yuwen Chenqi looked for a husband for Yuwenhui in the court, and couldn't help but interrupt the correspondence between Lu Qingyan and Yuwenhui, and changed Yuwenhui to a new master, and even demoted Lu Qingyan to Suzhou, the most remote place in Beishao, to serve as the capital official. Anyone can see that Yuwen Chenqi actually personally ordered the appointment of a small capital official for punishment, and then he was severely punished when rumors came out again.

Lu Qingyan moved to Suzhou with a family, but his wife who was about to give birth suffered an accident on the road, the death of his wife and son became the main reason for his depression after arriving in Suzhou, Suzhou has been in drought for many years, Lu Qingyan openly rejected the approval of collecting taxes from the court, and led the people of Suzhou to refuse to pay grain, Lu Qingyan was finally dismissed, and the life in Suzhou City became more and more difficult day by day.

Some people say that in the most difficult year of Suzhou City, they have seen the eldest princess appear in Suzhou City, but then they don't know how. Outsiders only know that two months later, the eldest princess married Zhao Yu, the commander of Zuo Duwei, and Yuwen Chenqi was a show of heaven's grace, and a special amnesty was issued, which exempted the tax for three years, and punished the evil bandits in Suzhou City more severely.

Life in Suzhou City was just getting better, but Lu Qingyan's father died of a sudden illness, and it didn't take long for the only old mother to fail to withstand the successive blows and went with it. Originally, the future was limitless, but he was suddenly demoted to Suzhou, his wife's difficult birth, and his parents passed away one after another.

"The word love is simple to say, but it is easy to make people pay an unbearable price. Relieving one's heart often leads to a larger world. Master Qingyan didn't answer me directly, but he muttered in a low voice as if relieved.

"Although the master is a monk, he has not been able to really break the red dust, has he? You say you are relieved, but you refuse to step out of the scripture building for fifteen years, if you really let go, why don't you face it? His expression was too easily noticeable, and the almost sad sadness in his tone was really not the relief he was talking about.

When he heard me say this, he was a little stunned and hesitated, and then he smiled, as if relieved, "Entering this pure place of Buddhism is to escape, if the poor monk does this, she can live a better life." ”

"The master is a monk in vain, the cultivator should have the world in mind, but she is the only one in your world, you think you have given her the best, but you don't feel what kind of mood she acquiesced in your arrangement, your self-righteousness, just want to escape responsibility, you are worried about being infamy, you are afraid of facing the world, you are afraid that one day she will hate you for not giving her the best life, have you ever wondered, why did she accept your arrangement, forbearance for fifteen years, from an ignorant girl to now no longer beautiful." I thought that the eldest princess's tranquility was the essence, but she was deceived, or she even deceived herself in the past fifteen years, "Perhaps, she knows yourself better than you, she is afraid of your self-blame and guilt, so she accepted it, in order to make you feel comfortable and escape the punishment you deserve, she wasted fifteen years of time." Master Qingyan, you are too selfish. ”

The monk in front of him was silent, his eyes cloudy, deep in memory, but he smiled bitterly, "Perhaps, you are right. ”

For the past fifteen years, one has been closed and one has been visiting, and although I do not know how the eldest princess was in what mood she desperately wanted to see him, I think that at the banquet that day she would not even let the horse touch it, and the hysterical plea in front of the abbot, he was both trapped in a besieged city.

"I hope she is doing well, not following a bad old man like me, I have a wife, and His Majesty once summoned me privately to let me marry her again, even if it is a flat wife. But she is so beautiful and lively, like a fragrant Qinglan, I don't want her to be wronged, and I am afraid of suffering from the civil and military discussions of the Manchu Dynasty, so I gave up on her. He no longer called himself a poor monk, but recalled the past with the word "I", he turned sideways to make tea, deliberately avoided me, hid the vague expression, and seemed to murmur, "That year, there was a great drought in Lizhou City, it was really difficult, I almost wanted to give up this life, go to the nine springs to atone for my wife and children, but I saw her again in a trance, and she pulled me back from the line between life and death." She used marriage as a condition to ask His Majesty for amnesty and save the entire Lizhou, but I only found out after I became a monk. ”

It turned out that it was missed, what happened in Lizhou City that year, how many tears did she have to shed in front of the hospital bed to make such a decision, I am afraid that even if he died at that time, she would follow without hesitation, but unfortunately, he saw her and wanted to live, and she sacrificed her love in order to let him live, he didn't say, she didn't say, a marriage was so missed.

"The master has been in retreat for fifteen years, I'm afraid it's to make the eldest princess die and live a good life with the concubine." If he knew that the eyebrows between the eldest princess and the concubine were just pretending, and the concubine was even more so to set up a private house outside of her, then what was fifteen years.

"How is she now?" Master Qingyan's tone trembled, he lifted the teapot with one hand and poured the boiling tea into the cup, but because his hand trembled so much, the tea spilled a piece, and he helped him with the other hand as if nothing happened, "The poor monk is already a monk and thinks that he shouldn't ask about Hongchen, but only because there is still a trace of unbroken concern between the world." ”

He also called himself a poor monk, but he didn't know if the eldest princess heard these two words, and her heart, which was originally broken, would have the cruel feeling of being trampled on again.

"The master just said that the fate between me and him has long been broken, and this qiē is his obsession. Do you want to know my answer, Master? I took the teacup from his hand and sniffed the tea indifferently, "It's not just his obsession, it's also my obsession." Yuan Ying, I'm going to decide. ”

Master Qingyan smiled lightly and said, "A year ago, the eldest princess was seriously ill, and someone came to inform her about it. He also rebuked the poor monk, who asked him why he refused to let go and give her freedom when he forcibly imprisoned his loved one and saw that he was struggling and suffering. He returned to the poor monk at that time, and a year later, someone would answer the poor monk's question for him. ”

I couldn't help but wonder, "This person is Yuan Ying." ”

"It's Prince Yuwen." Master Qing Yan suddenly put away his smile and said strictly.

I understood what he meant, lowered my head, the teacup in my hand was burning, but the heat of the tea seemed to be much less than just now, I endured the burning pain, and took a sip of the tea, "He is Yu Wenzheng of the world, but he is my own Yuan Ying." ”

"Looks like you already have the answer in mind. When he sent you here, he said that you were desperate for the status quo and hoped that the poor monk would persuade you, but it seems that he really underestimated you. Master Qingyan smiled bitterly, but reached out to take the hot teacup from my hand and put it in front of me, "Emotional things, but not as good as other things, not only hard work can have good results, the man you love, has unpredictable ambition and strength, one day will rule the world, his status will one day be like this teacup in your hand, even if the tea in the cup is fragrant, but only you can feel the hot hand when you hold this teacup." Instead of forbearing, it is better to put it down first and let it cool a little. ”

It turned out that the tea he gave me still had this meaning. "I will keep the master's words in mind, but can I ask the master if the master's best friend cares about me so much, is it someone I can guess?"

"If you have a heart, you will know one day. If you don't have the intention, I'm afraid that if you know, it will only increase your troubles. It's better not to know. "Master Qingyan is a bit profound, and I can't find a breakthrough in his words to imagine who that person is.

"In that case, can I ask the master one more thing?" My eyes fell on the two thick stacks of scriptures on his case, "Master, since there are historical records in the Fengyi Dynasty here, I wonder if you can help me check someone?" ”

Master Qingyan smiled and waved his hand, "The person the county is looking for, there is a providential arrangement in the dark, this is not a poor monk can ask, the day the phoenix relics were broken, there were two stars from the sky, one fell in Dongfu, and the other fell in Beishao, instead of looking for it blankly, it is better to sit back and wait for fate to send the destined person to the eye, I am afraid that the county lord has already seen the person he wants to find." ”

"Have I seen her?" I couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly searched my mind for all the figures that might be her, but there was no clue at all. "Can the master give me some more hints?"

"County Lord, it's time to go back." Master Qingyan looked sideways, "He's here to pick you up, if you don't come forward again, I'm afraid he will really turn the Cangyi Temple upside down." ”

He?! Is it Yuan Ying?

I was overjoyed, and I didn't care about anything else, so I ran downstairs in a hurry, and when I heard a movement outside the building, my outstretched hand stopped the moment the door was opened.

It won't be Yuan Ying, the movement outside is so big, it definitely doesn't look like Yuan Ying.

Why does it sound so chaotic outside this scripture building, I can't help but turn my head to look upstairs, hoping that Master Qingyan can give me some more reminders, but seeing that he didn't come down the stairs.

Why? Could it be that Gao Qi told the eldest princess my identity, or did Gao Jinyi know my identity and came to arrest me?

Jerked.

The door was pushed open, and the setting sun shot into the prayer building, Takasaki stood outside the door, dressed in military uniform, and he was followed by several people wearing armor, forcibly blocking the monks who wanted to come forward.

Seeing me, his expression did not change at all, but after just indifferently glancing at it, he turned to the monk in the temple and said, "This prince is the guest of the eldest princess, the last time the eldest princess was robbed here, this prince was seriously injured and fortunately rescued by your temple, Takasaki received the eldest princess from the mouth of the eldest princess to return to the house to recuperate, and the eldest princess will definitely thank your temple for saving her in the future." ”

When the monks in the temple heard him say this, they seemed to accept it. Probably forced by the name of the eldest princess, and seeing that the people in the building did not show up for a long time, they had to retreat and make way for a way.

"Ye Gongzi, please." I couldn't hear anything unusual in Gao Qi's tone, although I wanted to ask him something I wanted to ask, but I really couldn't ask at the moment, and I saw that he didn't have any other reaction, so I had to follow his meaning, but secretly guessed that he called me Gongzi to the monks in the temple, and he should have not told anyone else my identity, but whether he sued Gao Jinyi, I really can't guess.

Gao Qi walked behind me, I walked in front, I always felt an unexpected coldness behind me, looked back and saw nothing special, he did not deliberately look at me, walked to the gate of Cangyi Temple, I saw the guard lead the horse, hesitated, and was about to get on the horse and return.

Takasaki stopped me and asked the guard, "Where's the carriage?" ”

The "carriage" guard was very embarrassed, and he couldn't say why, but looked to the side. Then I heard the sound of the carriage coming slowly, as if ignoring the eyes of the people, and stopped in front of us without hurry.

"This doesn't seem to be the carriage we prepared, may I ask who is in the carriage?" Takasaki's alertness was very high, and he already felt defensiveness in just a moment when he lowered his eyes.

The coachman driving in front of the carriage jumped out of the car and looked arrogant, "Presumptuous! Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's car capable of questioning you? ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

The person in the carriage lifted the curtain at this time, it was the prince's face, he said silently, "There is Lao Gao Gongzi, the carriage of Gaofu has been snatched by Ling Mei on the way up the mountain, it should be boring to go back to the house first, Ye Gongzi's injury is too big to resist the horse is really inconvenient, it is better to go with me." ”

A trace of contempt flashed in Gao Qi's eyes, but he didn't explain again, "Since it was ordered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Gao Qi should do it, the sister is not sensible, and she has caused trouble to His Royal Highness, so I ask His Royal Highness to send Ye Gongzi back to the Eldest Princess's Mansion." ”

Yu Wenzheng didn't pay any more attention to him, but quietly lowered the curtain.

What, Yuan Qi is really pretending to be big this time, I don't know what happened after Takasaki carried him back that day, but I always feel that between the two of you, you don't look down on me, I look down on you.

"Ye Gongzi, get in the car." The coachman of the carriage came to help me, saying that it was to help, but it was involuntarily pushed me into the carriage, I thought it was Yuanqi who hated Takasaki, so I didn't want the people I knew around me to be too entangled with the people I hated, so I didn't think much about it, and I sat in the carriage.

"Drive." The coachman whipped his horse. The carriage shook for a moment, then slowly moved on again.

The space in the carriage was not large, Yuan Qi sat in the middle, I had to sit on the side of the carriage, but at that moment, I inadvertently bumped into him, raised my head and found that he was staring at me, the feeling in his eyes was very weird, I was stared at hairy, so I patted him, "Yuan Qi, there is no one else here, don't pretend." Why don't I just hit you, as for glaring at me viciously like this? ”

"Yuan Qi" frowned suddenly, he raised his hand and pressed the center of his eyebrows, as if he was about to suddenly burst out of anger, I only heard him say, "It seems that I spoil you too much, and I have become so lawless that I dare to join forces to deceive me." ”
