The apricot blossoms are blooming, the drizzle is misty, and the solemn and solemn Forbidden City has become a little gentle because of this flower and this rain.

Kangxi sat on the kang in the Xinuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace and read Shangguan Yunyi's letter.

Li Lianyun stood silently with a rhino in his hand.

The palace maid waiting for the summons next to her is like a clay wood carving.

After reading the letter, Kangxi sat quietly for a while, and said lightly: "Call Zhou Kong Menglai." ”

Li Lianyun responded: "Huh." ”

walked to the door of the warm pavilion and passed Kangxi's will.

One by one, after a short time, Zhou Kongmeng came by order, prostrated to the ground, and Kangxi said: "Get up and speak." ”

Zhou Kongmeng Xie stood up.

Kangxi pointed to the letter on the bookcase: "Yunyi gave me a Taoist excerpt and asked to reconcile with Ba Yi, what do you think about this?" ”

Zhou Kongmeng was stunned, he didn't expect it at all, the emperor was waiting for an answer, he hurriedly thought about it, and said: "Long live the Lord Qiqi, why does the princess want to leave with the same forehead?" ”

Kangxi said: "The princess is devoted to the Buddha and wants to practice quietly. ”

The opportunity is rare, regardless of whether her Shangguan Yunyi's mind is true or false, she can finally help Ba Yi, Zhou Kongmeng said: "The princess refused to marry when she was in her twenties, and there were rumors at that time that the princess had the guidance of the Buddha and Bodhisattva, and she wanted to return to the Buddha's door, but she was afraid that Lord Shangguan would block it. ”

Kangxi frowned: "Yunyi refused to marry at that time, wasn't it because he admired Ba Yi?" ”

The emperor knew everything, and Zhou Kongmeng knew that he couldn't hide it, so he said: "That's just one of the rumors, and the second is that the princess wants to convert to Buddhism." ”

This kind of thing, unless the person concerned himself explains, otherwise others are speculating, Kangxi is skeptical, and there is still some faith, after all, it was Shangguan Yunyi who proposed peace and departure, not Ba Yi, and said after deliberation: "But the dignified princess and Li, which is unprecedented in my dynasty, I don't know if I should agree." ”

After speaking, he looked at Zhou Kongmeng with a soliciting gaze.

Zhou Kong Meng's monkey spirit knew that this was the emperor's temptation, if he said that he should be gracious, the emperor knew that he was deliberately helping Ba Yi, if he said that he could not be grateful, he was afraid of losing this opportunity to help Ba Yi, and he would take another one: "The minister feels that the emperor's favor is not gracious, it makes sense." ”

Kangxi said: "Tell me about it." ”

Zhou Kongmeng bowed: "The minister feels that if the emperor does not approve it, it is to save a marriage, and the people in the market have a saying, it is better to demolish ten temples than to break a marriage, a man marries a woman, and the marriage is a major event, how can it be child's play." ”

Kangxi bowed his head, expressed his approval, and asked, "What if I am approved?" ”

Zhou Kongmeng said: "It is also reasonable, since the princess is ready to serve the Buddha with her heart, how can she do the things of husband and wife, if so, Ba Yi is afraid that he will die, if the emperor does not allow it, it will let Ba Yi cut off his children and grandchildren, this kind of thing will be scolded by the world, of course, I did not dare to talk about the emperor." ”

After speaking, he stood quietly, waiting for Kangxi's decision, Kangxi's decision was related to Ba Yi's life, and he cared about it very much.

However, Kangxi also sat quietly and didn't squeak for a long time, and Zhou Kongmeng became nervous for no reason.

After a long time, Kangxi laughed, pointed at him and said, "Okay, you Zhou Kongmeng, round and flat, let you say it, your fox spirit name is really not a reputation for fame." ”

Zhou Kongmeng also smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the fox spirit is talking about women." ”

Kangxi snorted: "Only villains and women are difficult to raise, you Zhou Kongmeng is a villain, more terrible than a fox spirit." ”

Zhou Kongmeng knew that Kangxi's scolding was actually love, but he still pretended to be so frightened that he fell to the ground: "The minister is wronged, the sky is wronged." ”

Kangxi smiled and said: "Okay, don't pretend to be crazy and stupid in front of me, my tricks are clear, don't you just want me to promise Yunyi to leave with Ba Yi, I am right." ”

Zhou Kongmeng raised his head suddenly.

Kangxi said again in an instant: "Since I ruined a marriage, you drafted a decree for me to build ten temples in the suburbs of Beijing to atone for your sins." ”

Zhou Kongmeng first responded with a "sigh", and then said: "The emperor is the son of heaven and the master of the world. ”

Kangxi ignored his sycophancy and said: "Again draw up the will of the Tao, since Yunyi is dedicated to the Buddha, Ba Yi and her used to be husband and wife, the husband sings with the woman, the woman sings with the husband, and Yunyi leads the practice, let Ba Yi also lead the practice." ”

Zhou Kongmeng was stunned: "Your Majesty! ”

Let Ba Yi lead the practice, this is the meaning that he is not allowed to marry again, Zhou Kongmeng suddenly found that the emperor's scheming is heavy, the depth of the city, people are afraid, Ba Yi can not marry again, even if the legendary Yugo is still alive, what is the use.

Kangxi waved his hand: "You go and draft the purpose." ”

Zhou Kongmeng only said: "Huh." ”

Not long after, the holy decree came down to Mengjiang, and Ba Yi, who was holding the holy decree, froze, and suddenly smiled slightly, he also understood Kangxi's intentions, but he was able to reconcile with Shangguan Yunyi, even if he couldn't marry Yugo, he finally gave Yugo an explanation, so that Yugo understood that he was not just to use her, but to really love her.

and left, Shangguan Yunyi still lived in the princess's mansion, Ba Yi left alone, the night he left, Shangguan Yunyi prepared wine and food, and told Ba Yi: "Husband and wife, I will practice it for you." ”

Ba Yi did not refuse, so, a table of wine and food was distributed in the flower hall, and when the wine and food were ready, Shangguan Yunyi even the two personal maids of red lotus and green onion retreated, and only she and Ba Yi were left in the flower hall, she personally poured wine for Ba Yi, and said: "This is the second time we have eaten together, the first time, it was you who took a break, and this time, it was me who took a break." ”

Ba Yi took the wine glass, inadvertently, they touched each other's fingers, and Ba Yi said: "Offended." ”

Shangguan Yunyi smiled: "I am a monk, and you are also a monk, your heart is like a mirror, and you don't care about this." ”

After speaking, he turned apologetic and said: "I wanted to help you, but I hurt you, the reason why I took the initiative to leave, under the pretext of serving the Buddha with my heart, is that I don't want you to be embarrassed in front of the emperor, but the emperor ordered you to also lead the practice, you see, did I do something to deceive the Buddha, so I caused you to end up like this." ”

Ba Yi raised his glass to her and said heavily: "The princess said this, let me be ashamed, I actually want to fulfill the princess and Lord Su, but the princess doesn't have to worry, after a few days, this matter will slowly fade, and the princess can naturally return to the vulgar and achieve a happy marriage with Lord Su." ”

Shangguan Yunyi smiled sadly: "You are for me, why am I not for you, you see, the two of us are actually very compatible, we are so stupid." ”

Ba Yi called in a low voice: "Princess! ”

In his heart, he already has the position of Shangguan Yunyi, but his feelings for Shangguan Yunyi are moved and appreciated.

Shangguan Yunyi thought that he didn't want to listen to this sentence, so he took a sip of wine and said: "We are more like brothers and sisters or sisters and brothers, it's too similar, isn't it, I can be vulgar, the emperor will take care of our father-daughter relationship, but what about you?" I am afraid that it will be difficult to return to the vulgar by order, unless the emperor decrees that you will be allowed to return to the vulgar, but the emperor decrees, you understand, this is actually very difficult. ”
