Chapter 253: Single-mindedness, a lifetime
Taici Nunnery is not a big temple in King's Landing, but two hundred years ago, Dayan became a monk here with a noble concubine, so it was protected and cared for by the royal family of Dayan Ji, and then it slowly became a place for the prince of Dayan Ji and the women of the seven great families to take refuge in the Buddha.
Therefore, even if Taici Nunnery is located on the Taici Mountain outside King's Landing, more than 30 miles away from King's Landing, the security here is very good, the incense is also very strong, and it is a good place for celebrities and ladies to make wishes and relax.
On this day, Li Xianglan saw that Master Li was in a bad mood, so she invited her to Taici Nunnery to relax, but Master Li refused, because she had been worried about this marriage and lost her interest in enjoying flowers and playing.
However, I heard that there is a Yi princess living in Taici Nunnery, and this princess is related to Ji Qingchen, the Nine Emperor Princes, and she lives in Taici Nunnery because she avoids marriage. This made Master Li's heart tremble, as if he had thought of something, he immediately agreed to Li Xianglan's invitation, and the two of them took the car out of the Li Mansion to Taici'an!
When sitting in the car, Master Li kept asking Li Xianglan about the entanglement between Bai Meng'er, the princess of the Yi tribe, and Ji Qingchen and some of the circumstances of living in the Taici Nunnery, which made Li Xianglan, who patiently explained the relationship between the two to Master Li and the complicated issues, very happy.
"Sister Xianglan, did you say that Princess Dream really went to Taici Nunnery to refine in order to avoid marriage?" Master Li asked in disbelief.
"yes, what's wrong? Could it be that my sister will lie to you? Li Xianglan replied with certainty.
"Why did you go to Taici Nunnery and Qingxiu, and no one forced you to marry?" Master Li asked puzzled.
"Because this is the temple of the Dayan royal family, there was a noble concubine who became a monk here, and the son of the noble concubine later became the emperor of Dayan, His Majesty, he ordered the Taici Nunnery to be classified into the Ji clan, and then our Dayan monarchs are the heirs and descendants of this majesty, so this temple is still famous today, and it is not a place where anyone dares to make up his mind." Li Xianglan explained quietly, but she was about to go crazy with joy in her heart, because she knew that the more curious her sister was, the more she asked, the more beneficial it would be to her plan.
"As for the specific situation, I don't know much." Li Xianglan was very clever in burying a pit, and continued, "However, I have intersected with Princess Bai Meng'er before, and it is not difficult for us to go to Taici'an to see her this time, and it is not too late for you to ask her again!" ”
"Yes, it's fine!" Master Li replied with a nod.
The two sisters chatted with each other in this way, and finally arrived at Taici Nunnery at noon.
Although Taici Nunnery is a royal temple, there is no guard at the door, and the gate is not very grand, so pilgrims can come and go at will, but only female pilgrims.
Therefore, Li Xianglan and Li Shishi arrived at the foot of Taici Mountain, because the people and guards who drove the car were all men, their carriage could not go up the mountain, and the two could only walk up the mountain.
Although the two were born in the wealthy family of the Li family, they were beautiful, but their bodies were not weak, and because the Li family was a family of military merits, their children had to learn the art of bow and horse salvo, so the two brothers and sisters did not seem very tired when they climbed the mountain, and after an hour, the two walked and stopped in front of the Taici Nunnery.
In front of the nunnery, there was a female acquaintance to guide the two of them into the nunnery, and let them feel free, and the female intellectuals withdrew from the temple on their own and returned to their position at the door.
Li Xianglan and Master Li offered incense in the main hall, and told the support of the temple about their identities, saying that they would prepare to stay for a few days. As soon as the host heard that the daughter of Li Muzhi of the Li family of the seven great families of the two of them, he nodded and agreed, asked the disciples around him to arrange the room, and served a meal to the two, and the two of them ate and rested for a while, and it was getting late.
At this time, Li Xianglan told a female disciple of Taici'an that she knew Princess Meng, who lived here in Qingxiu, and wanted to meet each other, but the female disciple did not refuse, so she went to the same interpretation for Li Xianglan.
After a while, the female disciple came back and said that Princess Dream had an invitation and asked the two to talk in the backyard.
"Sister Xianglan, are you so powerful? Now you can meet the Dream Princess? Master Li didn't expect that after arriving at this temple, she knew how difficult it was for people who came here to see Yiyan Bai Meng'er, but now Li Xianglan's words made Bai Meng'er promise her sister, which had to make Master Li admire her sister's ability.
In fact, she didn't know that Li Xianglan also used a plan in the process, because she just brought a sentence to Bai Meng'er who asked the woman: The weather in the north is a little cold. Bai Meng'er knew the meaning of her words, so she agreed to see their sisters.
At this time, the moon hangs in the middle of the sky.
The silver moonlight poured into the green courtyard, indescribably fresh and elegant. And Master Li and Li Xianglan walked to the path of the courtyard under the guidance of the female disciple. Gradually, when the two of them could vaguely see a pavilion not far ahead, they suddenly heard the sound of a piano coming from the pavilion.
The sound of the piano is intermittent, as if it is crying, and it is like confiding.
There is always an inexplicable emotion mixed in with it, which makes people feel a kind of indescribable sadness.
"Princess Dream has indescribable feelings in her heart!" Master Li sighed secretly, because she could also play the guzheng, so naturally she heard her heart from Bai Meng'er's piano sound.
The two walked into the pavilion, and the female disciple motioned for the two to go over by themselves, and she withdrew from the courtyard.
"Li Xianglan and Master Li have met Her Royal Highness the Princess!" When she walked into the pavilion and saw Princess Dream in light and elegant clothes, Li Xianglan spoke.
"You two don't need to be polite, please take a seat!" Princess Dream just owes herself.
"Does the princess like to play the piano too?" After taking his seat, Master Li asked, "I don't know what the name of this piece is just now?" ”
"Oh, just because an old man likes it, I learned from others for a few days, but it's hard to get into the hall of elegance." Princess Dream smiled bitterly and said, "Just now I was just playing it indiscriminately, not a tune." ”
After a pause, he asked Master Li, "Does the girl also like to play the piano?" ”
"It's okay! I've always liked to play the piano since I was a child, and my mother taught me. Master Li said.
"So the master and the girl have worked the guzheng, I wonder if I can play a song here?" Bai Meng'er spoke.
"As long as the princess is willing to listen, I am glad to do so." Seeing that Princess Meng gave up her position, Master Li walked to the guzheng and sat down, put his hands on the strings, and played it casually, and a cool and pleasant sound came from the strings. Immediately, she plucked her fingers, and saw the sound of the piano change, and a delicate and lingering song came out of the strings and drifted into the void.
At the end of the playing, Master Li got up and gave up his position to Bai Meng'er.
But Bai Meng'er didn't sit down, but asked Master Li, "Why do you know this song?" ”
"Why would the princess ask that?" Master Li asked puzzled.
"Only he knows this song, because he wrote it, and it was only later that he gave the score to Mingyan, and I could learn it from Mingyan, how could you?" Bai Meng'er asked puzzled.
"Who are you talking about?" Master Li asked.
"Is it the king of Northern Liao?" Li Xianglan said. ‘
"Yes, apart from him, who else can create this song "Staying Together"?" Bai Meng'er said, "This is the song he composed for Princess Anle'er. ”
After Bai Meng'er explained this, Li Xianglan on the side was also strange, her sister had no intersection with the King of Northern Liao, and she didn't know each other, how could she play the music he composed?
Seeing that the eyes of Princess Dream and Sister Xianglan moved to him, Master Li explained, "This is what I got from the Seventh Prince, and I asked Li Changzheng to ask the Seventh Prince. ”
"Oh, that's right." Bai Meng'er nodded and said, "The relationship between the four princes and the seven princes of the Northern Liao King is good, the seven princes are obsessed with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and it is normal for him to have this song." ”
"But now they have a good relationship!" Li Xianglan said, "Although the King of Northern Liao is imprisoned in the palace, he has a good relationship with the second prince, the third prince and the fourth prince, and the three highnesses have visited him many times before?" And isn't there a princess around the king of Northern Liao who is willing to disobey His Majesty and marry from leaving the country? Presumably, he will not be lonely now. ”
In fact, Li Xianglan said this deliberately, and the reason why she said this was to make an explanation for being able to see Bai Meng'er just now. Because the reason why Bai Meng'er saw their sisters was because the weather in the north was a little cold. It means that she wants to tell her about Ji Qingchen, the king of Northern Liao. Now she told him that he was safe and doing well. It's kind of a complete deal with the Dream Princess.
"That's good! That's it! Hearing Li Xianglan's answer, Princess Dream whispered to herself, and then said, "Let the two of you laugh!" ”
"The princess is really temperamental, let us sisters admire, how can we say and laugh!" Master Li said, and then suddenly thought that his marriage was not much different from Princess Dream, his heart hurt, his face darkened, and he stopped talking.
Princess Dream naturally saw the gloomy look on Master Li's face, because with Master Li's playing of the piano just now, she had a great impression of Master Li, so she couldn't help asking, "What?" Does the teacher girl have anything on her mind? If I'd like to, I'd like to hear it and see if I can help the teacher. ”
"You talk, I'll go out and hang out!" Li Xianglan immediately said and left the pavilion.
Because she knew very well that as long as she was there, maybe her sister would not say what was in her heart, so she would leave so interestingly. In fact, she also wanted to hear what her sister wanted to say to Bai Meng'er, and she also wanted to know who the man in her sister's heart was?
