The autumn wind is up, and the royal flowers behind the Penglai Palace are finished, and there are colorful fallen leaves.

Concubine Yin De stood in front of a garden of withered peony flowers, her clothes fluttering, and her white hair was better than snow.

"Spring goes to autumn, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle...... Time flies so fast! She murmured, picking up a withered petal and sniffing it between her nose.

Everyone in the world has sad feelings, not to mention the ill-fated Yin De Concubine?

In the past two days, the weather has become cooler in autumn, and she has been depressed for no reason, and the past of many years has also come to her heart, making her a little depressed.

"Niangniang, Her Royal Highness Princess Gaoyang has arrived." The palace maid behind him said.

Concubine Yin De looked back and saw that Princess Gao Yang was walking briskly from the end of the corridor, her steps were light and her expression was delighted.

"Ling'er, why are you so happy?" Concubine Yin De asked.

"Stand down, stand down!" Princess Gaoyang retreated from the left and right maids, happily grabbed Concubine Yinde's hand and whispered, "Mother! The third brother let me go back to Lanzhou and reunite with Mu Bai! ”

"Really?" Concubine Yin De was also suddenly overjoyed, "There is such a good thing? ”

"My father asked him to be a lobbyist and wanted me to go to Lanzhou to persuade Mu Bai to return to the court. The third brother took the opportunity to let me go back! Princess Gao Yang said, "Mother, the third brother still loves me!" ”

"Silly child...... "Concubine Yin De caressed Princess Gaoyang's face lovingly, and said, "Can't you see that this is exactly what your father intended?" ”

"Uh...... This ......," Princess Gao Yang was stunned, "is there one?" My father tried to persuade me before, but I refused. At that time, he was still very angry, saying that I was an outgoing girl. ”

Concubine Yin De smiled and said, "After so many years, don't you still know your father?" He is the king of a country, and in order to take into account the dignity of the Son of Heaven, he is always hard-mouthed and soft-hearted. Think about it, knowing your son Mo Ruo's father, how can you hide this little trick with your third brother from him? If it weren't for his acquiescence, even if King Wu had great courage, he wouldn't dare to act so arbitrarily. ”

"That......'s right," Princess Gaoyang realized at this time, nodded and said, "So, my father is also willing to let me go back?" ”

"He has never detained you, so how can he talk about a word?" Concubine Yin De smiled and said, "You have already married a woman, and you are a member of his Qin family." It is not a reason to leave you in Chang'an so that your husband and wife, mother and daughter cannot be reunited. Although your father is strict, he has always been reasonable, and he will definitely not do such a thing that violates the norms of human ethics. Besides, what's the benefit of detaining you in Chang'an? Can you threaten Qin Mubai and let him come back? Even if he has a deep affection for you, if he returns, this method will be too disgraceful and not the work of a human king. Your father is determined to be a generation of emperors, and because of this, he gave the people of the world a handle and made future generations criticize? ”

Princess Gao Yang nodded, "I understand......"

Concubine Yin De smiled, raised her hand, gently stroked Princess Gaoyang's face, and said softly: "Ling'er, the more you grow up, the more you look like your mother." Seeing you, Wei Niang seems to see her young self. However, your life is much better than that of a mother. You have to cherish it......"

"Mother, I have something to say!" Princess Gao Yang said suddenly.

"Say it!" Concubine Yin De smiled.

"It's better to ...... You! ......" Princess Gao Yang gritted her teeth and plucked up her courage, "You can go with me!" ”

"What?!" Concubine Yin De was slightly taken aback, "Why do you say this?" ”

Princess Gao Yang held Concubine Yinde's hand tightly and said, "Mother, I don't know if I can come back to serve you after this farewell." From now on, you have no relatives in Chang'an! I can't bear you to be so lonely and alone in the palace, keeping the cold every day, for the rest of your life. Mother, come with me! Chang'an and the Imperial Palace are like a cage, which has imprisoned you for half your life! For the rest of your life, let your daughter spend the rest of your life with you, carefree and free, okay? ”

"Confused!" Concubine Yin De's face changed, and she reprimanded, "As one of the four concubines and the mother of a country, how can I leave with you without permission?" ”

"What one of the four concubines! Mother, can't you still get rid of this false title? Princess Gaoyang was anxious, and took Concubine Yinde's hand and said, "Hasn't my father been favoring Xu Hui in recent years?" You go and tell your father that you are willing to give up the position of Concubine De, obey his wishes, and let him make Xu Hui a Concubine De! ”

"Presumptuous!" Concubine Yin De was furious, and lowered her voice and reprimanded, "This is a major national matter, how can you be allowed to point fingers and talk nonsense?" ”

"Mother, don't pretend anymore!" Princess Gaoyang begged bitterly, "Wouldn't you like to spend your whole life like this, and finally die of loneliness in this palace?" ”

Concubine Yin De turned around, squinted her eyes slightly at the remnants of the pond and fell leaves, and sighed lightly, "This is the fate of my mother!" ”

Princess Gaoyang hurriedly turned to Concubine Yin De and said, "Mother, don't you want to live with your daughter?" You don't want to see the little flute? ”

"Of course I want to......" Concubine Yin De twisted her eyebrows lightly and said softly, "If there are still people in this world who worry about their mothers, who else is there besides your mother and daughter?" ”

"You don't want to ...... Look at Mu Bai? Princess Gaoyang said sharply.

Concubine Yin De's eyebrows flicked in shock, but she instantly regained her composure, "What do I think he does?" ”

Princess Gaoyang was stunned for a moment, knowing that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said, "Aren't you bosom friends?" Don't you like to listen to him play the lute? ”

"Such a trivial matter, why worry about it, can you still let your mother risk the world's disapproval and elope with you?" Concubine Yin De turned her face and continued to look ahead, "Ling'er, let's go!" went to Lanzhou to live well with Mu Bai. He is the man in your life, and in this life, you are destined to be happy and fulfilling. For a woman, meeting the man in her life is a hundred times more precious than the honor of any princess. ”

Princess Gaoyang's heart was suddenly extremely depressed, and she bit her lip and held back a sentence-"What about the honor compared to Concubine De?" ”

"What did you say?!" Concubine Yin De suddenly became angry, and turned her head to the side to stare at Princess Gaoyang, "You kid, when did you become so unreasonable and full of nonsense?" ”

In the bones of Princess Gaoyang, the innate rebellious spirit was inexplicably stimulated, and she blurted out: "Mother, do you think I don't know, you have always liked Mu Bai?" ”

"Smack-"

A heavy slap was thrown on Princess Gaoyang's face.

Princess Gao Yang was immediately stunned!

"You go, don't come back!"

Gentle like water has lived for half her life, today, Concubine Yin De is angry for the first time, and it is also the first time to beat Princess Gaoyang!

After reprimanding this, she brushed her sleeves away, walking so fast and hurriedly, that it was as if she had run away.

Princess Gaoyang stood in front of the flower garden in a daze with a hot face, looked at the back of Concubine Yin De, and muttered to herself: "Mother, why are you suffering?" …… In fact, what does it matter, although it is impossible for you and Mu Bai to really be together due to the ethical guidelines, but if you can get rid of the bitter sea of the palace, wouldn't it be a blessing? It's better to be able to live with the person you like, even if you can't get married, than to be trapped in this cage! Anyway, in the eyes of your father, you are already dispensable. My brother died, I left again, and even Mu Bai, the only one who made the harem scruples in the past, resigned. In the future, you will remain in this palace, how will you gain a foothold? …… Mother! ”

A few days later, Chu Suiliang, who was ordered by the emperor to go to Lanzhou to be hired, and the officials of Zongzheng Temple were ready, so they came to the palace to welcome Princess Gaoyang and set off for Lanzhou together.

was slapped by her mother that day, and Princess Gao Yang didn't dare to meet her mother again in the past few days. She was leaving today, and she didn't know when she would see each other, she was very sad in her heart, so she ran to Concubine Yinde's bedroom to say goodbye. But Concubine Yin De was not in the palace, and after inquiring carefully, she found out that she had lived in the Protectorate Temple in the past few days.

So Princess Gaoyang came to the Protectorate Tianwang Temple and asked to see Concubine Yinde.

Concubine Yin De refused to see the door, and said to Princess Gaoyang outside through the door on the first floor: "Let's go!" Cherish all the way, so that you can do it yourself! ”

"Mother...... Princess Gaoyang's tears burst out of her eyes, and she knelt outside the door and cried, "You have raised me for so many years, and we have always depended on each other. Now that your daughter is leaving, don't you even want to show up? ”

Concubine Yin De did not respond inside.

Princess Gaoyang couldn't cry and couldn't kneel on the ground.

After a long time, the door opened, and Master Qingshan walked out of it, said a Buddha name, and said to Princess Gaoyang: "Your Royal Highness Princess, please get up." There are thousand-year-old trees in the mountains, and it is difficult to have a 100-year-old person in the world. Is there no lovesick tears from afar, and it is not as good as the heart of Gao Tang. ”

Princess Gao Yang was stunned, "What does the master mean by this?" ”

"The flesh and blood are separated, Concubine De's liver and intestines are broken, and I can't bear to say goodbye to the princess again, and it hurts the scene." Master Qingshan said, "Don't grieve and cry here, otherwise, the mother's heart will become more and more unhappy!" ”

Princess Gaoyang nodded and cried, but the tears still fell like beads with broken threads, and she choked up: "Mother, I'm leaving." I will live a good life with Mu Bai, and you have to take care! ”

"Let's go...... Let's go......" Master Qingshan waved his hand gently, and then put his hands together, "Amitabha! ”

"Mother! - "Princess Gao Yang hissed, "I'm leaving!" ”

Then, without looking back, he turned around and ran.

Master Qingshan shook his head and sighed.

In the room, Concubine Yin De knelt in front of the Buddha, closed her eyes and wept silently, tears drenching the futon in front of her.

Master Qingshan returned to the room, covered the door and walked to Concubine Yin De and sat down, and said, "Niangniang, Her Royal Highness the princess is gone." ”

"Hmm...... Thank you, Master. ”

"The princess is gone, and I don't know when she will return. Mother and son are connected, and the poor nun deeply understands the pain in the mother's heart. Master Qingshan said, "And in this life and this life, Niangniang may not have the opportunity to meet him." ”

Concubine Yin De, who closed her eyes and closed her eyes, trembled slightly, and said, "The disciple's heart is already like ashes. ”

"If it is really like a dead heart, Niangniang may really go with Her Royal Highness the Princess." Master Qingshan said, "Although the poor nun is an outsider, he lives in this palace, and he also knows that there have been many events in the world recently, and the dynasty is chaotic. In the harem, there is also a turbulent undercurrent. Who knows what it will be like in a few years? If Niangniang is out of this whirlpool at this time, it is not a bad thing. ”

"I am the concubine of the emperor, how can I walk away? Except for the palace maids who were expelled from the palace wall, has the master ever seen which emperor's concubine can go back to the people or remarry another wife? Women like us, even if they fall out of favor or make mistakes and are abandoned by the emperor, they will be in the cold palace for a lifetime and will not see the light of day. Concubine Yin De opened her eyes and smiled bitterly, "Actually, why don't I want to escape from here, who really wants to belittle myself?" However, the common people are still angry at the crown when their wives are taken away, and the king of a country? If I really go with Ling'er, it will not only be the face of His Majesty the Emperor, but also the dignity and secular morality of the entire Tang Empire! At that time, not only will I not be able to enjoy any quiet freedom, but it will hurt Ling'er and Mu Bai! ”

"Well, that's right." Master Qingshan also sighed, "The world is like a shackle, and Ethics is like a cage. Niangniang, this is your established fate in your previous life, and in this life, you can't get rid of it or leave. ”

"Past life...... Master, do people really have a past and a present life? Concubine Yin De looked up at the statue of Buddha Tuo above her head, clasped her hands together and stared, "Will a person like me have an afterlife?" ”

"Amitabha Buddha ......" Master Qingshan chanted together, and her voice revealed a lot of bitterness and helplessness.

"I thought about a story from a Buddhist sutra that the master once told me...... If there is a past life, it is probably my violent corpse wilderness, and when he passed by me, he put on a corpse robe for me. ”

"In this life, we are destined to be fated to be wiped out, and there will be no day to see each other again......"

"Then, if there is an afterlife, the disciple sincerely prays here—"

"The disciple is willing to incarnate as a stone bridge, subject to five hundred years of wind and five hundred years of sun, I just hope that he will look back once!"

"The disciple is willing to use, five hundred times to look back, in exchange for one encounter!"

"Even if the disciple encounters him, once again in the wilderness, the disciple is willing, willing, affectionate, and willing!"

"Ask Him ...... Bury me! ”
