At the peak of spring, Luoyang's clouds opened and the fog dispersed, and everything reached its peak and prosperity.

The Great Wei harem, which has always been full of gloom and loneliness, is suddenly as beautiful as a cloud. In addition to the original queen Gao Changjun, Zuo Zhaoyi Yuan Mingyue and a few concubines, now the nine concubines, the world's wives, and the royal maids are all gathered in the backyard, and the harem is extremely full in a short period of time.

The Son of Heaven has widely selected concubines, and naturally some people are ready to move. The place of the temple, in Luoyang City, and even the entire Great Wei are all ready to move. And the quietest places in the harem are only the Jiaofang Hall and Cuiyun Pavilion. Jiaofang Hall has long been left in the palace and independent, the palace people rumored that the queen has fallen out of favor, only good Buddhism and self-reliance. Now there are countless new concubines, but the Jiaofang Palace is still cold.

The queen's father, Prime Minister Gao Huan, is more powerful, and the harem is a family affair of the Son of Heaven after all. The Son of Heaven has never snubbed the beauty, almost everyone has the face of the sky, and the wind of flattery and competition for favor prevails for a while. He is a shallow-eyed person, who only looks at the square inch in front of him, and does not understand the true meaning behind it, so no one is willing to stammer and cling to the queen.

The strange thing is that Jiaofang Hall has long only talked about Buddhism and Zen, but Cuiyun Pavilion suddenly fell cold when it was in full bloom. Originally, Emperor Yuan Xiu was entangled with his cousin Yuan Mingyue before he ascended to the Great Treasure, which everyone knows. After ascending the throne as the Son of Heaven, in order to establish Yuan Mingyue as a concubine, he did not hesitate to fall into the hands of the historian. For the sake of Yuan Mingyue, he even broke with the queen and became an enemy of Gao Cheng, a powerful minister. Now when the harem is recruited, Cuiyun Pavilion is also left behind. Everyone only said that the emperor liked the new and hated the old.

And what is even more rare is that Zuo Zhaoyi Yuan Mingyue also waited quietly in the Cuiyun Pavilion without complaint. Her brother Nanyang Wang Yuanbao torch fell to the weight of the Son of Heaven, and he held the key in the middle of the pass. The two saints who seem to be completely different between brothers and sisters have become a topic of interest to the palace people.

What's even more demonic is that Emperor Yuan Xiu suddenly began to like Huang Lao's technique overnight and sought the method of becoming an immortal. Since then, he has completely ignored the government and politics, and is no longer like before, and all political affairs must have disputes with the prime minister Gao Huan and the servant Gao Cheng. You are always depressed in the palace, and because of this, you have a violent temperament. Now he only recites Lao Tzu's words every day, and does not talk about government affairs. is still confined to the Zhongxian Fang in the palace garden, refining and boiling hundreds of medicines in order to seek the elixir.

Today's Yuan Xiu is no longer the heroic Emperor of Wei in the past. The palace people saw him wearing a Taoist robe and wandering around the palace, except for good Taoism, the rest only played wine with many stunning concubines, which made the Great Wei harem demonic.

The emperor is like this, and the empress does not seem to be like the past. The emperor's good Taoism has always had a tradition, but the queen was only obsessed with Buddhism and Zen at this time, but she and the emperor had not met for a long time, and the two compartments did not interfere with each other. It's just that the queen no longer dominates the six palaces to declare her prestige, allowing the harem of Dawei to have no rules, and the concubines are rude.

Finally survived the hazy, cold and bitter winter, and the spring days that started to be vigorous and vigorous were as short as a flash in the pan. Ruoyun stood under the eaves outside the queen's bedroom, and the outside was empty and lonely, but he couldn't see clearly like a passing cloud. She seemed to have crossed the walls of the Great Wei court, and saw the Longmen River valley outside Luoyang, the overlapping grottoes on both sides, and the Buddha statues that were always infinitely merciful.

"Ruoyun!" Suddenly, she heard the voice of Empress Gao Changjun calling her from the palace.

Ruoyun came back to his senses and hurriedly turned back to enter, and saw that Gao Changjun had stopped chanting Buddhist scriptures and got up from the futon. The queen was dressed in plain white clothes, and in a trance she remembered that when she was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the queen loved to be glamorous, and always loved to laugh, and what was different from now was that she liked to hunt, and she could never chant or copy scriptures quietly for an hour or two as now.

"Good weather, go for a walk." The queen commanded lightly. It's just that she didn't go outside the hall, and walked a few steps in the huge Jiaofang hall before stopping and looking inside the hall. She has been living here since she entered the harem, and the days she has lived are not long, and they are not short.

Gao Changjun's eyes were full of kindness. In recent months, her eyes have been more indifferent and cold. This kind of look is like a reunion with an old friend after a long absence, and it seems like a sudden separation of each other. This kind of joy and reluctance made Ruoyun's eyes full of bitterness.

Ruoyun persuaded, "Your Highness, the sun is just right now, and it hasn't reached the hot time at noon, so it's the best time to go out." ”

In fact, this is the most beautiful time of the year in Luoyang City. Luoyang is far from the scorching heat of midsummer, but it has completely thrown away the shadow of spring cold. The sun is shining, and after a long period of boundless cold, the bright sunshine brings more warmth to people who are happy and willing to be close. In late spring and early summer, the breeze is fresh, and the spring shirt is thinning, cool and slightly chilly, how likable this feeling.

The wine color in the Great Wei Palace is ****, and Gao Changjun, who is the queen, is not unaware. And at this moment, she is dressed in white and snow, and walking through the quiet and quiet pear blossom bushes also represents her mood and attitude. This is a deep part of the palace garden, not open, but clean enough. None of the concubines who are competing for favor have the heart to enjoy the beautiful scenery here, so Gao Changjun can be so comfortable. She strolled under the pear blossoms and fell into deep thought. And Ruoyun, who was waiting outside the forest, watched the queen calm and calm when she was about to have a big event, and seemed to be calm in her heart.

This is a forgotten place in the Wei Palace.

Ruoyun waved his hand to the two palace people behind him, signaling them to retreat, for fear that they would disturb the queen's purity. And she had a hunch in her heart that maybe the queen would have something important to tell her.

Gao Changjun wandered in the forest for a long time, and his brows frowned slightly unconsciously, obviously completely caught in the setting situation in his heart. Finally, when she raised her head to look for Ruoyun, she found at a glance that behind Ruoyun standing outside the forest, Emperor Yuan Xiu's brigade was slowly coming towards this side.

Gao Changjun brakes with static and responds to all changes with no change. Yuan Xiu sat firmly on the chariot, and his attendants were like clouds, and he had stopped outside the forest. Ruoyun didn't dare to make a sound, looked at the queen, and stepped aside to salute silently. Gao Changjun walked slowly towards the outside of the forest, and she saw Emperor Yuan Xiu walking down from the chariot and walking towards her, but when she got closer and closer, she was slightly stunned.

Yuan Xiu is also white-clothed Shengxue, but he is wearing a Taoist robe. The robe is not a real robe, so it looks like a real swinger. Yuan Xiu, who was wearing his hair and face, did not have the slightest fairy wind between his gestures, but it made people feel extremely weird. Although Gao Changjun had been mentally prepared, she was still stunned at the moment. In a trance, her consciousness was hazy, and she didn't even know that this person in front of her was still not the son of heaven of Da Wei, her husband.

Yuan Xiu's temper changed from usual, waved his hand and motioned for the attendants to wait outside the forest, and walked slowly towards Gao Changjun. His unfathomable gaze was fixed on Gao Changjun, and no one noticed the deep and inextricable nostalgia in his eyes. He looked at Gao Changjun in front of him, dressed in a minimalist white dress, with a flying fairy bun curled up high on his head, only a few purple jasmine flowers in his hair, and no fat powder on his face, and his whole body was hard to hide......

Gao Changjun had already reacted, and he also walked towards Yuan Xiu, with a normal look on his face. And Yuan Xiu deliberately lowered his head slightly, and then raised his hand to stroke the hair covering his face. I don't know if I want Gao Changjun to see him clearly, or if I'm afraid that I can't see her clearly. Buddha and Tao meet in the Great Wei Palace, and an emperor and a queen meet here. In front of everyone's eyes, the concubines, eunuchs, and palace people were all waiting for what would happen in the next moment.

"The concubine has seen the lord." Gao Changjun had completely returned to normal, and he was extremely respectful to Emperor Yuan.

"The queen doesn't have to be so polite, now that the queen and I are already believers in Buddhism and Taoism, we are no longer such laymen, so why do we need to perform those vulgar rituals?" Yuan Xiu looked at Gao Changjun with a smile and looked at the person kneeling in front of him motionlessly.

He refers to himself as "I", not "Lonely". Obviously, he is more obsessed with his current identity in vain. It seems that this is what he wants to express: whether it is a group of beings in the lonely red dust or a group of people who want to cultivate and become immortals after the sun and the moon, it is enough for him to abandon the burden of the Great Wei Emperor.

"The concubines dare not be rude, they must respect the Son of Heaven and never change their original intentions." Gao Changjun still lay on the ground and did not raise his head, let alone get up.

"Get up, get up." Yuan Xiu said with a smile. He is not obsessed with verbal warfare, and does not seem to be as rigid and contentious as he used to be. It doesn't seem to matter anything, which makes it even more difficult to guess what really matters to him.

Gao Changjun was ordered to raise his head and get up. After only glancing at Yuan Xiu, he lowered his head again, very respectfully.

Yuan Xiu looked at her and seemed to mutter, "You are so beautiful, lonely...... I like it very much...... "He seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't say anything.

The woods were quiet both inside and out. The concubines outside the forest naturally knew that the queen was the eldest daughter of the prime minister, the eldest sister of the high attendant, even now the queen is not favored, and no one dares to really ignore her. But they all looked at the emperor and thought it was very strange.

"Lone has obtained the secret art of immortals, and will ascend in a few days, why does the queen have to be obsessed with worshipping the Buddha? It's better to go with the orphan. Yuan Xiu looked at Gao Changjun as if it were true or false.

Gao Changjun raised his head and looked at Yuan Xiu. These words may sound absurd, but the eagerness on his face seems to be extremely serious. Could it really be that as long as she agrees, they will become the fairy companions of the phoenix?

Gao Changjun's consciousness was in a trance for a moment, and he suddenly saw those people waiting outside the forest not far away, and returned to reality in an instant, but said respectfully, "The lord is the emperor of Great Wei, and he is Changjun's husband." "What more can I say? But that's enough to show her heart.

Yuan Xiu didn't speak again, just looked at Gao Changjun. No one knew the panic in his heart at this time. The body is like duckweed flying, where is the end of the world. Yuan Xiu seemed to sigh in his heart, and only bowed slightly.

Everything will be the past, everything will be in the past.

When it was prosperous, Yang Shunhua looked back at Chang'an. This capital may be goodbye to her for eternity. My heart is extremely desolate, but I have to make myself extremely resolute. Everything that is destined will be unchangeable, and the only way to move forward is to move forward towards the trajectory of fate.

Look at the car in front, Princess Xiao Qiongju of Liyang is in the car in front. After dancing in the pear bush that day, she never mentioned Gao Cheng again, nor did she say goodbye to him. 's originally lively personality suddenly became silent and silent, which made Yang Shunhua even more uneasy. In any case, perhaps the only way to solve the problem is to return to Jiankang quickly.

In the distance, the smoke village is lonely, the future is uncertain, and the traveler does not know where he is. Just as he was about to give the order to move forward, he suddenly heard someone shouting, and saw a horse galloping from the direction of Chang'an. Carefully watched to adapt, and when the person got closer, he saw that it was actually Cui Jishu. I don't need to ask why he came, but it was Gao Cheng who ordered him to talk to Princess Liyang.

Cui Ji Shule Ma was in front of Yang Shunhua, his breath was not yet evenly breathed, and he seemed to be in a hurry.

Yang Shunhua glanced at Princess Liyang's car a little farther away, without the slightest movement, as if she didn't know anything.

Cui Jishu guessed her thoughts, and didn't look at the car driving road, "The prince ordered me to pass the word." As he spoke, he took out a dagger.
