Chapter 185
As soon as the words fell, the princess said to herself sentimentally, "That's it, don't see it." After so many years, without me by her side, she has finally grown up. As long as she's safe, why should I bother her againβ"
The room was silent for a while, only to hear the host sigh, "If you care, you will be chaotic princess, everyone knows that you have gone, Zuo Xiang raised Miss Shuang alone, and outsiders don't know the hard work." I know that if it weren't for this chance encounter and learning that Miss Frost hadn't left, you wouldn't have come all the way here, and you still can't let go of it in your heart."
Silent.
I only heard the princess sigh faintly, "Although the son is not the godfather's fault, although I am not around, I have heard that Shuang'er has been arrogant since she was a child, and she has a grudge with others, every time she hears this, she is always heartbroken, but she is helpless, but she only hopes that after she enters the palace, she can understand the general situation, etiquette and righteousness under the guidance of the Queen Mother, but I never thought that there would be a later catastrophe Alas, I blamed me for bringing her to this world in a moment of confusion, but I never gave her maternal love and teachings If it is not for the Queen Mother's protection, I am afraid that she has already - Alas, now that I come, how to speak when I see her"
The princess's voice sounded sad, but at the end it was a ripple of tears.
"Don't blame yourself, princess." The abbot was moved, "The princess has all kinds of things in the past, but she is helpless. Even if you plan and make arrangements for her, you may not be able to do everything. Her temperament is also caused by excessive pity because Zuo Xiang thinks of you. Alas, in the eyes of others, Miss Frost is of noble birth and enjoys all the glory, but who knows the pain in her heart? Since childhood, I have lost my mother's love, and now although I have grown up, I am also pitiful. Today's frost, if it weren't for Chu Xiruo's confirmation that she was the previous frost, I wouldn't dare to admit it. When you heard her news earlier, you always sighed, the princess is finally relieved that she is safely alive, right? β
Meishuang listened blankly, didn't she say that Meishuang's mother was not gone a long time ago? Why did she suddenly appear today, and she was still called a "princess", what kind of identity is this? No wonder the abbot said that she had a physical problem when she was a child, and it seemed that she had already recognized her. It's just, what is her mother doing at this time? Could it be that I heard that she came back from the dead to take a look?
As he was thinking wildly, he heard a long sigh from the princess in the house.
The abbot reassured, "Now that Miss Frost has been reborn, she is no longer the arrogant character she used to be, and she has become sensible, not at all like before. As for why she changed so quickly, the princess still went to ask herself. Even if you don't want to recognize each other, she is your daughter after all, and you still have to face it. There are reasons for what happened back then, and you can't blame yourself entirely."
There is a great meaning for the mother and daughter to recognize each other.
"Really?" The princess raised her teary eyes and looked at the abbot with some suspicion, "It is said that the country is easy to change and difficult to change, how can there be such a thing?" β
The abbot rejoiced, "If the princess is ready, I will tell her to come back from the mountain, and the princess may look in the dark." β
"This one is good, too"
After being silent for a while, the princess suddenly remembered something and asked, "What about that child of the Chu family?" β
"Oh, I've asked the master of the temple to take her out on a tour. That kid Bingxue is smart, and he can see it very thoroughly. Presumably, she and the emperor are in the end. Although she didn't want to believe it, she had to admit it. So, you have to turn the corner in your thinking. β
Hearing this, the princess couldn't help but sigh, "Alas, I heard that she and the current emperor were originally full of gold and jade, but they were broken up by the Queen Mother for the sake of Shuang'er." I didn't expect the final result to be just like this, but it hurt this child's infatuation. This man, speaking of which, has no heart after all."
The abbot was suffocated in his heart, and from this and that, it inevitably aroused the sadness of the princess, and he didn't dare to persuade him at the moment, so he could only listen.
"This child was not less angry with Shuang'er before, but now he doesn't care about his previous suspicions, alas, if she lives here for a long time, you have to treat her well, and you should atone for Shuang'er's sins."
"Amitabha, this nature." The abbot replied.
After a pause, he only heard the abbot say, "It's almost noon, and they are coming back from collecting firewood, and the princess is here to rest for a while, and I will come when I go." β
Listening to the abbot's footsteps out of the meditation room, Meishuang panicked, eavesdropping here for a long time, if the abbot asked, she really couldn't say where she went.
Quietly returning the way they came, jumping out of the wall and climbing down the hillside for a while, then turning around and pretending to have just come down from the mountain, when they happened to meet the little nun whom the abbot had sent to look for them.
"Donor, are you back? The abbot is looking for you. β
"Okay," Meishuang wiped the sweat from her head, "I'll go over at once." β
Seeing that Meishuang was empty-handed, the little nun asked curiously, "Donor, where is the basket for your firewood?" β
Mei Shuangxin said badly, but fortunately, her brain was active, she said as she walked, "I was a little uncomfortable in my stomach just now, and the basket was still in place, and it was not too late to get it when I went in the afternoon." β
"Are you okay then?" The little nun said with concern.
"It's fine." Looking at the little nun's clear eyes, Meishuang blushed a little at her lying, and she waved her hand, "Maybe it's a cold." β
The two men entered the temple as they spoke.
When the abbot saw Meishuang, he beckoned her to him, stared at Meishuang's porcelain-white face, looked carefully, nodded, and said kindly, "Your illness has improved a lot these days, if you follow the current method, you will get better soon." Uh, are you tired of going up the mountain to fetch firewood? β
Mei Shuang naturally knew the meaning of the abbot to divert the topic and ask some ordinary trivial things, obviously the drunkard did not mean to drink, and now she was talking to herself so that people in the dark could see Mei Shuang's current condition.
She just pretended not to know, shook her head and smiled, "I'm not tired, besides, I can exercise by collecting firewood." β
The abbot smiled, "It's all rough work, it's okay to do it once in a while, but you can't be tired." β
Meishuang shrugged, "Thank you Abbot for your kindness." β
"Okay, there you go."
Seeing that Meishuang had gone to her chamber, the abbot turned around and looked into his own meditation room, where the princess was quietly watching through the window.
Today's Meishuang, although it is just a few words, is very different from before.
Wear coarse clothes, do rough work, have no complaints, enjoy it, treat people in a good way, speak decently, not arrogant or impatient, is this still the previous plum frost?
Through the long window, the princess looked blankly at the beautiful and bright face, as if looking at herself when she was young, and couldn't help but cry like rain and choked up
When the abbot returned to the meditation room, he saw that the house was empty, leaving only a small beaded flower and a letter on the table.
The letter cover reads, "My son personally opened".
The abbot put his things away with trembling hands, turned around and walked quickly to the outside of the temple. As far as the eye could see, on the winding way down the mountain, the two black figures were getting farther and farther away.
She let out a long sigh and stared down the hill for a moment before returning to the temple.
It seems that she has entrusted this matter to herself, but how can she tell Meishuang about the cause and effect?
-- The weather is hot, a few days ago it was still cold in spring, but after a spring rain these days, the willow buds spit green, and the wind blows on the face, as if it has entered summer.
Even the temperature in the mountains has risen, and when I went to collect firewood, I saw that the mountains that had only seen dead branches and barren grass were full of greenery and vitality.
Mei Shuang climbed the highest hill, stood at the top of the slope, opened her arms to the sun, closed her eyes lightly and felt the soft wind passing over her face, and took a deep breath, as if the air was full of sweet smells.
When I opened my eyes, the spiritual platform was clear, and my heart was clear.
Such a day turned out to be so beautiful.
The little nun in the back saw the plum cream bathed in the spring breeze on the hillside from afar, wearing a white shirt, wide sleeves fluttering in the wind, fluttering clothes, looking like a fairy flying out of the sky, so that the little nun was instantly amazed. For a while, I forgot what I was going to do.
After a long pause at Mei Shuang's back, he remembered that he still had a task, so he hurriedly put his hands into a trumpet shape and shouted in the direction of Mei Shuang, "Donor, come down quickly, the abbot is looking for you."
Under the big tree not far away, a master and a servant were looking at this side.
From time to time, the servant peeked at the master beside him, and saw the white figure on the top of the mountain who wanted to spread his wings and fly, his face was calm, his eyes were dark, and he waited here for a long time, but did not say a word.
He smiled bitterly in his heart, but he could only watch like this every day when he was close to him, what is this called?
I can't see it, I can't see it.
-- Zishuo City Palace.
The weather is gradually getting hotter, the spring outside the window is like a promise, the flowers of the imperial garden are blooming in response to the scene, and the whole imperial garden is in a variety of postures, purple and red.
The Empress Dowager Ming had been sick for a long time, and finally went for a walk in the imperial garden under the persuasion of Aunt Yu.
Along the way, from time to time she heard the laughter of the concubines from the depths of the imperial garden, and occasionally some concubines could be seen flying kites together, she couldn't help sighing, "Alas, the age of flowers and jade, I don't know what sorrow is?" Catching up with the age of the mourning family, I am afraid that I will die of sorrow."
Listening to the queen mother complaining again, this complaint was inevitably sad again, Aunt Yu hurriedly advised, "If it is peaceful today, the emperor governs the country well, and the queen mother has nothing to do with it, so why is it sad?" β
"Can you not be worried?" Empress Dowager Ming said angrily, "Meishuang is not in the palace, there is a lot less laughter in front of the mourning family, the mourning family feels sorry for the emperor, and Chu Xiruo is specially allowed to return to the palace, I don't know why she left again, the concubines of this palace, the emperor can't look down on any of them, you say, who is the son of the mourning family?" β
Where does Aunt Yu dare to comment on the current emperor, she can only pretend to be deaf and dumb.
"It's just that since this frost is still in the world, why hasn't there been any movement? The emperor is too, dealing with the courtiers is very fast, why can't he even find a little woman? - What about the emperor? I don't see him come to say hello these days."
The Empress Dowager Ming complained for a long time, thirsty, and happened to Concubine Chen to come over, and after respectfully saluting, Concubine Chen knelt down to offer the tea in the basket.
After the Empress Dowager Ming took it, she reluctantly drank a few sips of tea to moisten her throat, and then looked at the dignified and beautiful Concubine Chen in front of her, and suddenly felt upset. It seems that no matter how good the beauty, the most magnificent clothes and the higher family background are, sometimes they are just a gorgeous embellishment.
