Chapter 44: The Consequences of Yin and Yang Imbalance and the White Lotus
When he came to Chang'an, it was not short, and Li Xi naturally knew Princess Yuzhen.
This princess is the half-sister of Emperor Xuanzong, it is said that the small character is profitable, she was born shortly after, her mother Concubine De was given death by Wu Zetian, since then, she and Emperor Xuanzong trembling together, as soon as his father succeeded to the throne, he immediately asked to become a monk, the then Emperor Ruizong repeatedly persuaded to no avail, in the end, she and her sister Princess Jinxian together to become a monk, and so on until Emperor Xuanzong succeeded to the throne as the emperor, and the title was [Shangqing Xuandu Dadong Sanjingshi].
Because her father and brother have been in power, and they all love her little daughter and little sister very much, so although she is a monk, but in the royal affairs, she has a unique position that others do not have. Regarding these stories, soon after coming to Chang'an, Li Xi heard some from many people, such as Princess Yuzhen once helped intercede and saved several lives, such as Princess Yuzhen personally served as a matchmaker and contributed to several good marriages, and so on.
It is said that Princess Yuzhen has several mansions in Chang'an, including her mansion as the eldest princess of the dynasty, and there is also a Taoist temple, and what Li Xi sees now is a mansion where Princess Yuzhen lives in Pingyue, and the name is "Yuzhen Annex".
Li Xi and Li Shizhi got out of the carriage, and there were two pendulum children at the door to greet them, the two little girls looked like they were in their early tens, with red lips and white teeth, indescribably cute, in front of Li Xi and Li Shizhi, the two of them bowed their heads, Li Shizhi should have been here once, so the two of them opened their mouths and called out Li Shizhi's name, and said: "Li Shaanzhou is fine, my immortal master has been waiting for a long time, please come with the poor road." ”
Li Shizhi and Li Xi both returned the courtesy, and then followed the two little Taoist boys into the Yuzhen Annex.
After coming to Chang'an, Li Xi has also been to the residences of several big people, such as Li Shizhi's mansion, such as Shouwang's mansion, etc., they are either depressed or full of flowers, in short, they give people a full sense of everyone, but after entering this Yuzhen Annex, he suddenly felt that this place is quiet and scattered, not like the world.
Of course, as the annex of Princess Yuzhen, the building here is extremely exquisite, and it is not inferior to the Shouwang Mansion, but the problem is that every grass and tree here is obviously arranged by the master's family, so this atmosphere has a strong personal color, but on the contrary, this strong personal color seems a little dark.
Walking all the way to this annex through the corridor behind the two Taoist boys, Li Xi looked left and right, couldn't help frowning, and thought: It is said that Princess Yuzhen is only in her early thirties, right? How can it be such a feeling of dead heart?
It's not that most of the female champions of Datang are silver. Is it messy?
Just this arrangement, this state of mind, who should be here, can silver. Messing up?
Fortunately, although the surrounding environment is elegant and light, Li Xi only felt a little depressed when he saw it, because although he resolutely opposed to classifying himself into the category of youth, after all, he also stole so many famous poems, and said that he was a man of literati, and he was somewhat stained with the atmosphere of literati.
Turning his head and looking at Li Shizhi, a full literati, since he entered the Yuzhen Annex, he looked extremely excited, obviously, this environment is very good for his appetite.
Turning his head and seeing Li Xi frowning and looking left and right, Li Shizhi seemed to understand why Li Xi was frowning, so he slowed down slightly, and at the same time reached out and pulled Li Xi's sleeve, and when the speed of the two people slowed down, he pulled a little distance from the two little Taoist boys who led the way in front of him, and then he came over and whispered, "Feel awkward, right?" ”
Li Xi smiled, "It's okay, it's just ......" He stretched out his finger and pointed around, especially the clump of thin bamboo in front of him, which was vigorous and lush, winding and covering a corridor, which suddenly made the environment seem a little gloomy and scary, of course, if you want to explain that there is no cave, it is not impossible, but at least this feeling ordinary people will not like it much.
Li Xi said: "The eldest princess of Yuzhen, she ...... Not feeling well? ”
According to modern medical research, when an individual's emotional or physical state is abnormal, she often unconsciously takes the initiative to modify the external environment in which she is located, until this external environment coincides with his own mood and state, so that he will feel more comfortable, which is something that everyone will do unconsciously.
It's just that Yu Zhen is the eldest princess, although she has become a monk, and she has also asked to withdraw her title and mansion several times, but after all, Emperor Xuanzong has never agreed, so she is still the eldest princess, and her identity is extremely noble, so Li Xi naturally can't directly ask if this eldest princess Yu Zhen has a psychological problem or something, so she has to ask her body first.
Li Shizhi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and shook his head, "No! The eldest princess has always been in good health. ”
He looked around, obviously wondering how Li Xi quickly shifted his thoughts from the body of the row of thin bamboos to Princess Yuzhen's body, but he originally wanted to say to Li Xi, "Every guest who comes here for the first time will always subconsciously feel awkward for a while, but it will soon get used to it." However, this time he was attracted by the new topic thrown by Li Xi, and turned his head to look at the two little Taoist children who were gradually moving away in front of him, he smiled and turned to the side slightly.
"The eldest princess of Yuzhen has never been married to Yunying, what does the Yellow Emperor say in the internal scriptures, don't tell me you don't know."
Li Xi shook his head when he heard this, "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" and "[***] Sutra", he had heard of them, but he really hadn't read them, it is said that those two books are about traditional Chinese medicine and the art in the room, so Li Xi wanted to read it, but it is said that those two books are very obscure without exception, plus he has been busy with things, and he really didn't have the heart to think about it. However, the identity of the great talent has been played so far, and it is really difficult to explain it if you say that the Yellow Emperor has not read the Neijing.
So he thought for a while and said, "I really don't know this, my father went early, and my uncle said that these books are all silver books, and I am not allowed to read them." ”
He came up with such an excuse, but in Li Shizhi's ears, he was even more surprised, "How can the Yellow Emperor's Neijing be a silver book?" Your uncle is ...... too."
For the sake of His Holiness, he and Li Xi are about brothers, so naturally it is not good to judge Li Xi's uncle wantonly, so he stopped halfway through the words, and he said in a low voice: "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" has clouds, female sixteen, and Xuan. There is also a sentence that women are not sold in their twenties, and they lose yin and yang. ”
Speaking of this, he saw that the two Dao boys in front of him had already stood and were looking at him suspiciously, so he tugged on Li Xi's sleeve, hurriedly walked a few steps, and whispered at the same time: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is already thirty years old this year......
The last end note is very long, and there is some helpless regret.
Li Xi couldn't help but think in his heart, losing yin and yang, does it mean that yin and yang are out of balance?
In the back garden of the Yuzhen Annex, a very elegant place, Li Xi finally met the legendary eldest princess.
Li Xi knew that although Emperor Xuanzong succeeded to the throne, he was very strict with his children, but the century-old habits were not so easy to reverse, so even at this time, he had succeeded to the throne for twenty years, and the status of the princess of the Tang Dynasty was still not low.
Therefore, Li Xi understands that Princess Yuzhen's monastic cultivation is actually slightly different from other women.
In the early days of the Tang Dynasty, in order to put gold on his face, he respected Laozi Li Er as his ancestor, which also led to the fact that in addition to Wu Zetian's party and government period, Taoism had a very high status in the Tang Dynasty.
But if you investigate carefully, it is not difficult to find that in fact, many women are not willing to stay in the Taoist temple and stand alone for a lifetime with the scriptures. Therefore, although they are in the Daomen, they actually have a heart for Hongchen, but on the contrary, most of the people who are not willing to cultivate the Tao have no ability to change their fate, so they have to seek it through other ways, which has led to the poor reputation of the female champions of the Tang Dynasty.
But obviously, Princess Yuzhen does not belong to this list.
She was quite chaotic in her early years, it can be said that she grew up in the bloody political struggle, Emperor Xuanzong also grew up in this environment and atmosphere, but his surname was Ge Jianyi, so he gradually adapted to and mastered this environment and became a king, but she was not, she was a weak woman, she saw the cruelty of reality since she was a child, but she was powerless to change, so over time, she naturally began to want to turn to the way of immortals. Over time, when she grew up, she deliberately wanted to avoid these and live alone quietly, which led to the path of cultivation.
Along the way, Li Xi saw the layout design of this Yuzhen Annex, even if he still had a little conjecture in his heart, this time it had almost dissipated, and when he saw the eldest princess of Yuzhen herself, he was even more humble and cautious than ever.
Princess Yuzhen is tall, even if she stands in the middle of He Zhizhang, Su Jin and others, she is about the same size, and a wide apricot yellow robe covers the exquisite body that should be just graceful, making her less glamorous than many secular women, but with a touch of grace and ease, fluttering is really a little fairy.
Her cheeks were thin, but not out of shape, and although she didn't have a ruddy face or anything, she looked pretty good, refreshed. Obviously, although her health is not too good, she should not be sick.
And when she speaks, she speaks slowly, smiles kindly, and is very relatable.
The peerless appearance is hidden in a faint smile.
Elegant, like a white lotus that can only be seen from a distance and cannot be blasphemed.
"Is this Mr. Li Xizi, the sonic boom in Chang'an?"
