Chapter Seventy-Four: Rebirth
One
She slowly opened her eyes in a fragrant breath.
The apricot-yellow curtain hung overhead, the tassels hung low all around, and a golden hook tied with a jeweled coral loosely pulled up the curtain and gently swayed beside her.
She frowned and turned her head slightly.
In a copper incense burner, the smell of incense is emanating. Smoke spills out of the hollowed outholes, creating a sense of remoteness and tranquility.
It was the scent of purple jade that made her familiar and heartbroken.
Several women in palace robes surrounded her, quietly and intently, looking at her intently.
"Doctor, the princess has woken up." A woman in palace clothes exclaimed with joy.
Princess? Who is the princess?
She looked at the maid suspiciously.
The palace maid looked happy: "Princess, you have been in a coma for two days and two nights, but you have frightened the slave maid. ”
Two days and two nights in a coma? Princess?
What's going on?
"Where am I?" She licked her lips and spoke slowly.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he was stunned when he heard his own voice.
The voice is crisp like a yellow warbler, but it is not his own voice.
The palace maid helped her up, sat at the head of the bed, and took a soft pillow behind her, and a person who looked like a doctor immediately stepped forward and put a layer of silk yarn on her wrist to diagnose her pulse.
She looked at everything in front of her in confusion, confused.
The Imperial Doctor said softly, "What do you think?" ”
She looked at the Imperial Doctor, then looked around, and said with difficulty, "Should someone tell me what happened?" Where is this? Why am I here? ”
The palace maid looked at the imperial doctor in surprise: "Imperial doctor, what's wrong with the princess?" ”
The imperial doctor frowned: "The princess fell into the water, escaped death, was frightened, and forgot for a while, there are also some." ”
"I'm a princess?" She looked at the Imperial Doctor in disbelief.
The imperial doctor owed: "You are the emperor's favorite princess of the plains, two days ago, the queen mother's birthday, the emperor held a banquet in the dragon boat, princess, you accidentally fell into the water, Long Yan was furious, so he killed your personal servants eleven." ”
"Princess of the Plains?" She muttered.
"Yes." The imperial doctor had palpitations: "The emperor said that if he can't save His Royal Highness the princess, he will be buried with Weichen." Princess, you woke up safely, and Weichen was overjoyed. ”
The princess was stunned for a moment, and said faintly: "The water in Qujiang is so cold. ”
"This is not Qujiang, but the princess's Furong Palace." The imperial physician replied cautiously: "The princess is the proud daughter of the sky, and her fortune is vast, although she has suffered some twists and turns, she can always turn the corner from danger." ”
The princess closed her eyes, as if unwilling to continue the subject: "Go down." I want to be quiet. ”
"Yes, Wechen retired. The princess is weak, the water and rice have not been exhausted for a few days, and she needs to be well conditioned, the imperial kitchen has prepared a medicinal meal, and asked the princess to reluctantly enter and take care of the phoenix's health. The Imperial Physician instructed a few words, bowed and retreated.
There was no sound in the room, and you could even hear the quicksand of the hourglass flowing.
It was the middle of winter, but in this room, it was as warm and soft as spring, and a large bouquet of plum blossoms bloomed in the corner of the wall, exuding a faint fragrance.
On the dressing table next to the couch, a gorgeous phoenix crown reminded her that all this was not a dream.
She remembered that before she was pushed into the water by Qingluan, she had seen a huge dragon boat. At that time, the princess of the plains must have been looking at the scenery from the bow of the boat, and she would never have expected that after this moment, she would be forever with the world.
It turned out that all this, in the dark, was already doomed.
If it is a foreign body, it is entrusted to the same body, it is resurrected and borrowed, and death and death are one, this is what Taoism calls "nirvana".
"Die when you meet the river, live when you meet Li." Guanyin's revelation is already very clear.
Born of demons, the gathering of qi. Gathering is form, and scattering is empty.
In the moment of looking back, she clearly saw that Shen Qingluo's body had turned into green mist and disappeared.
There is no Shen Qingluo in this world again, and the one who was reborn from the dead is the daughter of the royal family.
To be precise, Shen Qingluo, who should have borrowed the corpse to resurrect her soul, has a new identity: Princess of the Plains.
I don't know what kind of coincidence made Princess Pingyuan and Shen Qingluo fall into the water at the same time and place, which made it possible for them to blend.
All of this is probably fate.
She sighed faintly.
Thank you, Princess of the Plains.
Your early death has created a new life, which can be regarded as the rebirth of the form.
"Bring me the bronze mirror." She commanded slowly.
The maid quickly brought a bronze mirror from the dressing table and placed it in front of her.
A beautiful face appeared in the mirror.
The skin is like congealed fat, and the face is like the morning glow. The complexion is stunning, and it cannot be forced to look at.
Her hand trembled, and she gently stroked her smooth forehead.
The long black and shiny hair, draped over his shoulders, looked so unbelievable.
She looked in the mirror stupidly, speechless.
The eyebrows are daylily colored, and the red skirt is jealous of the pomegranate flowers.
There is such a beauty in the world, if you don't see it with your own eyes, you won't believe it anyway.
Now, this goddess of beauty and honor is herself.
"Is this me?" She muttered to herself.
The maid in charge of the mirror smiled and said, "You are the most beautiful and blessed Princess Lin in the world. ”
"Princess Lin, is it my name?" She smiled: "After falling into the water, I don't remember many things. ”
The maid comforted, "The princess is frightened, so it will be good to rest for a while." ”
Li Lin handed the bronze mirror to the maid: "What's your name?" ”
The maid owed: "The slave is like frost, she was originally a maid of the Clothing Bureau, and she was recently transferred to serve Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
Li Lin groaned slightly: "The emperor really killed eleven personal maids? ”
Rushuang looked timid: "Yes." After the princess fell into the water, the emperor blamed the waiter for not waiting carefully, and in a fit of anger, he ordered to kill the palace maid. ”
Li Lin couldn't bear it: "Ask the head of the palace to give generous gifts to the family members and bury them well." ”
Rushuang knelt on the ground: "The slave thanked the princess on their behalf." ”
A palace maid stepped forward with a red plate: "Princess, this is a medicinal meal specially prepared for the princess in the imperial dining room, please take it for the princess." ”
Li Lin took it, took a sip, frowned, and said, "It's so bitter." ”
The palace maid trembled and offered a red date: "The imperial doctor said that it can be accompanied by red dates to remove bitterness." ”
Li Lin smiled: "It's bearable." As he spoke, he drank it.
The palace maid looked at Li Lin in surprise.
I heard that the princess has a very strong personality, and if she eats such a bitter medicine, the princess will definitely smash the bowl and smash the plate, and she will not stop being angry, but today it seems that the rumors are not credible.
After eating the medicinal diet and eating the dim sum, Li Lin felt that she had strength: "Change clothes, I have to get up, I have been lying for a few days, and my whole body is falling apart." ”
Rushuang waved his hand, and immediately palace maids came in one after another, washing their faces, cleaning their hands, combing their hair, and smoothing their faces.
A small rouge dot on the forehead, like a plum blossom, and like a scar, lined with golden tassels and jade, looks delicate and bright.
Golden-red bright flower bandeau, plain white silk brocade, red five-phoenix skirt, Li Lin is like a puppet, let the maids put on the incense clothes one by one, and after a while, a princess with thousands of phoenixes appeared in front of her in a veritable name.
Looking at the unfamiliar face in the mirror, Li Lin felt like a world away.
In her previous life, she was a failed ugly girl Shen Qingluo, and in a blink of an eye, she became a noble daughter of the sky.
I don't know, is it easier to be a princess than to be Shen Qingluo.
The clouds are like smoke, and the past is vivid.
Hatred is like a blade, cut on the heart, inch by inch.
At first, he was a cultivated fish demon, and when he met someone who was unladylike, he encountered his sharp axe and throat, and took his life to take treasure. Just because the resentment could not be eliminated, Guanyin helped her throw herself into the mortal world, reincarnated as Shen Qingluo, and continued the relationship with him, but unexpectedly, the demon obstacle was still difficult to eliminate, and she fell into the abyss step by step, and was finally forced to go to a dead end.
Qingluan pushed her into the water, although it was hateful, but it couldn't withstand it, and it was even more painful for him to see death and not save her.
Needless to say, the herring stone he wore since he was a child was taken from his throat.
Thinking of this, Li Lin felt a dull pain in her throat, and she couldn't help touching her neck.
I don't know, he tried his best to take away the herring stone, and did he save his beloved woman.
Li Lin was gloomy.
The man who is infatuated with love, but it turns out that he is the enemy of two lives.
Fortunately, God bless her, she was given a chance to be reborn, and this time, she would not let him go.
From now on, revenge will be her only career.
Just thinking about it, a palace maid hurriedly came in: "Princess, the queen has arrived!" ”
Empress?
Before Li Lin could react, a group of richly dressed palace people surrounded by a graceful and luxurious woman had already stepped into the main hall.
Queen He hurriedly hugged Li Lin and cried: "My son, I can die of pain as a mother." ”
Li Lin lay in the queen's arms, listening to the deep call of the queen's mother, and in an instant, it seemed to return to the arms of her mother Shen.
She clearly realized that in addition to being a princess in appearance, in her bones, she was still Shen Qingluo through and through.
"The Queen Mother." She said softly: "Lin'er is not filial, which worries the queen mother. Now that the child is safe, please let the queen mother be relieved. ”
Empress He was stunned and looked at the daughter in her arms.
She thought that Lin'er, who had always been pampered, would cry loudly.
But her daughter just said "okay" lightly.
It seems that the daughter still has not forgiven the incident.
He Hou gently stroked Li Lin's back, and her voice was choked: "Silly child, don't do stupid things again!" Your father agreed, and that thing will never force you again, everything will be up to you. ”
Li Lin was stunned.
The princess fell into the water, could it be that there is another hidden secret?
He Hou looked at Li Lin lovingly: "Fortunately, God blesses, if you have three long and two short, how can you live for your mother!" ”
Li Lin's heart was hot, and her eyes were red: "Queen Mother!" ”
He Hou said: "You don't know how scared my mother has been in the past two days, for fear that you won't wake up." ”
Li Lin looked at the queen's beautiful face, and her concerned look was no different from Shen's. It can be seen that all mothers in the world have the same love for their sons.
From now on, she will be her daughter, Cheng Huan, filial piety to her father.
Li Lin gently wiped away the queen's tears and said softly: "The child is in front of the queen mother now, and he will not risk his life in the future." ”
He Hou sighed softly: "Good boy, don't blame your father, as the king of a country, he has many unavoidable difficulties. ”
Li Lin nodded blankly.
He Hou turned to the palace maid and said: "The princess is just healing, you have to wait for a good life, the princess's daily diet must be reported to the palace to know." ”
The palace maid replied, "Yes." ”
He Hou said gently: "Lin'er, there is still something in the mother's harem, go first." Hello give birth, don't think about it. ”
Li Lin bowed: "Congratulations to the queen mother!" ”
After a burst of dresses, the queen and her party left the palace.
Li Lin watched the queen go away in a daze, a little uneasy.
But one thing she knows very well is that from now on, she and Shen Qingluo will no longer have any relationship.
"Can you tell me what happened before I fell overboard?" She watched silently like frost.
Rushuang lowered her head, and Nuo Nuo said: "The slave vaguely heard that it was for the princess's marriage." ”
Marriage? Li Lin frowned.
"The princess is not impressed?" Like frost, he said timidly.
Li Lin put her hand on her forehead: "I have a terrible headache, I can't remember." Tell me what you know. ”
Rushuang said timidly: "Don't embarrass the slave and maid, princess. The queen mother had instructed that no one should mention the matter, so as not to provoke the princess. This is also the heart of the queen mother who loves the princess. ”
Li Lin was silent for a moment, and said lazily: "I'm tired, you can retreat." ”
The palace maids bowed and retreated, and in the huge palace, only Li Lin was left alone.
Suddenly, there was a dull pain in her heart.
Licking calves is deep, she knows it very well.
The greatest pain in this world is the pain of separation between mother and child.
Somewhere outside the palace walls, in the place she hated the most, there were the flesh and blood she cared about the most.
One Arrival. The child named "Nan Yilin".
