"I was very sad to see beings devouring each other." The prince said sadly.

When Zhang Si heard this, he immediately felt worried and scared.

He was afraid that his son would have the idea of becoming a monk because of this, and he thought at the moment: It is time to marry the prince, as long as he finds a beautiful wife for the prince, so that his heart will always be happy, and his heart will be nostalgic in the world, then he will tie his son's wandering heart.

Thinking of this, Zhang Si immediately had an idea.

He said to the prince, "It's getting late, let's go back first." After Zhang Si finished speaking, he picked up the prince and prepared to drive back to the palace.

But the prince refused to leave, saying, "I don't want to go back, I want to stay here." ”

Zhang Si was in a hurry, and tears flowed down his old face unconsciously.

When the prince saw his father so sad, he couldn't bear to brush his feelings, so he followed his father and walked back to the palace.

Since then, Zhang Si has been more preoccupied, he is sad all day long, worried that the prince will really run away from home one day.

When the crown prince was seventeen years old, Zhang Si summoned the ministers to the palace for a meeting.

Zhang Si said: "Now that the prince has grown up, it is time to find a beautiful princess for him to marry." Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any good ideas? ”

The ministers recommended one after another, and in the end, everyone unanimously recommended a woman surnamed Wang, who is as beautiful as a fairy, has a good face, is smart and wise, and knows how to read and understand etiquette;

The woman's name was Mary, and she was a princess of a neighboring country, and the king's name was Wang. Prior to this, the monarchs of more than a dozen small countries in the vicinity came to propose marriage, either Wang Erhan did not agree, or the palace master looked down on him.

And this time, Zhang Si asked the media to propose marriage, Wang Erhan wanted to push back this family affair, but he was worried that Nanzhao was rich and strong, and if he didn't agree, he would grudge against him and be attacked by him......

Wang Erhan came back from the court, and when he thought of this, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh "sigh", and sorrow came to his heart again.

Seeing her father's sigh, Mary stepped forward and asked, "When my father comes back from the court on weekdays, he is always smiling and high-spirited, why is he sighing for a long time today, and what is the reason?" ”

When his beloved daughter asked, Wang Erhan had to tell the story of Zhang Si's entrustment of the media's marriage today.

After hearing this, Mary snuggled up to Wang Erhan's arms, blinked her big autumn eyes, and said, "Father, don't be worried, send a messenger to tell King Nanzhao that I will marry only the unmarried man who has won me." I won't marry anyone else. ”

As a result, in the tournament, the prince won all the contestants, and finally won Mary. In the end, Wang Erhan had no choice but to marry the princess and become the crown princess of Nanzhao Kingdom.

Although, Wang Erhan and his eldest son Wang Tianlei are unwilling, and the eldest son is not yet married, how can the younger daughter get married first?

How could there be a word first, and the princess fell in love with the prince of Nanzhao at first sight, and she showed affection for his subordinates in the competition......

After the prince got married, the husband and wife were unusually affectionate, and the marriage was happy and happy. The two are often inseparable, walking, living, sitting and lying, all together.

The crown princess is smart and clever, the prince is extremely wise, the two talk about literature and martial arts, heart to heart, and enjoy the joy of the world.

However, the crown prince and the crown princess only play with each other, and they are not very close physically. Whenever night falls, the prince sits alone in a room, cutting off people, being in the world, his heart soars to the sky, he does not have worldly thoughts, and he does not have the heart of desire. Clear and clear, like a blue sky without a trace of clouds.

The crown princess is sometimes emotional and wants to get close to the prince.

But the prince proposed: "Wouldn't it be nice to have many flowers in our room and even on our bed, that we might admire them often?" ”

The princess immediately followed the instructions of the prince, put on beautiful and bright flowers, and put them in the room, bursts of floral fragrance, refreshing people's hearts, and suddenly the whole room was full of beautiful scenery and infinite style. The crown princess was uncontrollable and wanted to get close to the prince.

The prince said, "No, the flower juice has stained the mat of the bed." After a long time, he said, "Wouldn't it be nice to take a piece of good calico and put it in the middle and look at each other?" Why really close? ”

The crown princess immediately took a piece of white cotton cloth and spread it between the two, the two of them admired each other, and their hearts were a little more beautiful, which was really full of infinite spring.

The crown princess wanted to get close to the crown prince again, and the prince said: "No, the sweat and dirt on people's bodies will definitely stain this piece of white cotton cloth." ”

As a result, the crown princess did not dare to approach the crown prince. The maids all suspected that the prince was ill and could not follow the male path.

The prince heard the suspicions of the maids, so he pointed to the princess's belly with his hand and said: "The way of husband and wife, the love of men and women, comes naturally, after conceiving, when the time comes, you should give birth to a boy." ”

The crown princess really said that Zhang Zhongliang's father Zhang Si was critically ill, and Wei Erlutra galloped thousands of miles to report to the prince, saying that Zhang Si was critically ill and wanted the prince to leave for China immediately to see his father and the king before she was pregnant in October (this is a later story, and I will show it later).

There are two flowers, one on each branch. Let's talk about it first, after Zhang Zhongliang married Mary, the daughter of the neighboring king Wang Erhan, Zhang Si thought that this was enough to rest assured, he thought that the prince had his own concubine, so he should love his concubine as much as I love the queen, so he would no longer think about becoming a monk.

How much Zhang Hei wants to see the prince share his worries for him before he grows old, inherit the throne, rule the people, and become a virtuous and holy monarch! However, the great Lord of Hades has his own arrangements.

The sun and the moon are reincarnated, and in the blink of an eye, the prince is nineteen years old, and although the life in the palace is full of songs and nights of entertainment, the boredom of life hidden under the happiness and calm always makes people feel so depressed and wasted.

The palatial palace can never hold the breadth and breadth of thought, and the talented woman who is flamboyant can never comfort the sentimental heart.

The prince liked to walk slowly in the quiet paths of the garden alone, and liked to sit in the shade of the trees and meditate.

The white clouds in the sky are long, they are the strings plucked in the prince's heart; The murmuring water in the ground is the vitality of the prince's heart. The caged bird is about to push open the locked iron door and fly high, and the free mind is about to break through the trapped fence and soar into the sky. The prince has come out of the soft and luxurious life he is accustomed to, and he wants to go to the world to see what this real world looks like.

On this day, the crown prince said to his father Zhang Si: "Father, I have been in the palace for too long, and I want to leave the gardens in the palace for a while and go to the suburbs outside the city to have a look." ”

Zhang Si was very happy when he heard that the prince said that he wanted to go out to play, and he thought that the prince was unwilling to perform the ceremony of husband and wife in the palace and was easily restrained, so he wanted to go to the suburbs to relax himself. Zhang Si immediately agreed.

Before leaving, Zhang Si specially instructed his subordinates to clean the roads where the prince passed, and to repair the suburban gardens and temples, and all the arrangements were stopped, so the prince went to the palace to say goodbye to his father, and then left the palace.

At that time, the prince went out from the east gate of the city, leading back and forth, and it was magnificent. The crowd watching along the road was like a mountain and a sea, like a wind and a cloud, crowded, and they heard that the prince was traveling, and they all came out of their homes one after another, in order to see the prince's demeanor.

The prince was surprised to see so many people coming to see him. But as soon as he came out of the palace, his body and mind were suddenly relaxed, and when he saw everyone so lively and joyful, he was also greatly infected, so that his deeply locked brows were temporarily relaxed.

The prince greeted the men and women on the side of the road, and the mighty motorcade marched all the way forward surrounded by the crowd of onlookers.

The group left the capital, and the prince's heart was full of joy. Suddenly, in the distance, there was an old man with gray hair on the side of the road, who was staggering step by step in the direction of the prince with a cane.

His back was almost bent, and he looked unusually weak and tired. The prince thought it was very strange, so he hurriedly asked the coachman to stop the car, and asked the coachman Wang Wu, "Who is this?" ”

Wang Wu replied, "It's an old man." ”

The prince asked again, "What do you mean by being old?" ”

Wang Wu replied: "This man used to be a baby, a child, a teenager, and because time kept passing, he gradually changed from a child to an old man. By this time, his body was not the same as when he was a child, and he became weak; His appearance is also different from when he was young in the past, and he has become old and ugly; The whole body is weakened, and the food it eats is not easy to digest. The strength of the qi has gradually become weaker; It was painful to sit or stand; Like him, there are not a few days left of his life. Therefore, this is called old. ”

The prince then asked, "Is this the only one who will grow old, or will all life grow old?" ”

Wang Wu replied, "All lives must go through such a process, and they should all go through such a process, from young age to old age. ”

When the prince heard Wang Wu's words, a huge distress surged into the prince's heart. The prince thought silently in his heart: the sun and the moon are constantly passing, time is moving, the years are changing, aging is coming to people as fast as electricity, and the human body will immediately become fragile and undependable. Although I am very rich now, can I be exempt from such a fate? Why are people in the world not afraid of such a situation?

When the prince was young, he didn't like to live in this sentient world, but now seeing such a scene touches the already hidden feelings of bitterness, and now he deepens the sadness and disgust of the world.

The crown prince sighed, suddenly dispelled the idea of going out to play, and immediately asked Wang Wu to turn around the car and drive back towards the palace.
