Chapter 9, Buddha Light

Gu Ziyue looked at Su Chenye and didn't speak, and said very embarrassedly: "Master Su, you, what's wrong with you?"

Yes, she called him son again, thinking about it, this behavior of pulling her over is very abrupt, but at this moment, Su Chenye can't care so much: "We just sleep in the same bed, and I won't do anything to you, or do you think I'm going to do something to you, or do you want me to do something to you?"

Gu Ziyue was shocked and hurriedly said, "No, no, don't think about it." She couldn't tell how embarrassed she was at this time, she and Su Chenye were not familiar with each other, although the two had become the most intimate relationship, but in the end it made her feel uncomfortable. Thinking about their psychological quality, their psychological quality is really poor, some women have never even seen their husbands before marriage, and they are willing to contribute themselves on the wedding night, which really makes Gu Ziyue admire.

Su Chenye slowly let go of Gu Ziyue, got up and walked out, Gu Ziyue hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"

Su Chenye didn't look back, and said in a rather low voice: "Don't you still have to change clothes and wash? I'll go outside, you hurry up." “

Gu Ziyue blushed again, this man is her husband and her support for the rest of her life, yes, he is handsome, considerate, and thoughtful, he is noble, knowledgeable, talented, and he doesn't love her.

He doesn't love her, marrying her is just a ploy to envelop Dongliang, he doesn't love her, marrying her is just a means to get rid of the emperor's suspicions, he doesn't love her, marrying her is just a way to repay the kindness, he doesn't love her, he doesn't love her, why marry her? Thinking of this, Gu Ziyue suddenly felt sad, even if she lived a new life, she thought that she had changed a long time ago, and she was no longer the sad woman who used to be her husband, she thought that as long as she did not marry the Li family, her fate would be a little different, she thought that she could control her own destiny, even if she did not have a man to rely on, she thought, she thought, but in this life, she still has no way to get a happy marriage.

Gu Ziyue was sad for a while, then got up and went to bathe, life has to go on, isn't it?

Gu Ziyue waited for Su Chenye for a long time and didn't see him come back, she was so tired that she had to go to bed to rest first. The bed was not very big, Gu Ziyue slept on the inside, close to the wall, with her back facing outward, and soon fell asleep. Gu Ziyue slept well that night, and when she woke up the next morning, Su Chenye was lying on the soft couch by the window reading a book, and when she woke up, she asked softly: "Wake up, did you sleep well, wash up, it's time to eat." ”

Gu Ziyue was stunned and said, "Where did you go last night, and when did you come back?"

Su Chenye didn't answer, and said with a smile: "I just walked around and found a wonderful place, today we went there to see the Buddha's light, it must be the most exciting." Don't be cranky, get up. ”

Gu Ziyue sat on the bed for a long time, she didn't know what she was thinking, she always felt that she thought a lot, but she couldn't figure out an idea. Shaking his head, he decisively stopped thinking about it.

After breakfast, Su Chenye took Gu Ziyue to the back of the mountain, where there was a pavilion with the four corners upturned, which was very delicate and beautiful.

"I didn't expect that there is such a pavilion on the shady side of this mountain, and it occupies the commanding height of the entire Wushan Mountain, so everyone will come here to see the beautiful scenery. ”

Su Chenye shook his head, "The pavilion here is built by Hongyi, the Buddha's light generally appears in the afternoon, when there are clouds, in the morning, the sun rises from the east, the Buddha's light is located in the west, at this time it is not real, we wait until the afternoon, about the greatest chance of Shen, we are not out at the end of the time, it will be visible, the pavilion here according to Hongyi to see the Buddha's light is the clearest, then you can come here to see." ”

Gu Ziyue nodded, and looked around again, the scenery of Wushan is very good, it occupies the commanding heights here, and it is a glance at the surrounding scenery.

"Such a good place is really suitable for spiritual practice. ”

Su Chenye laughed: "Because of this Buddha's light, Wushan Temple has always been considered to be the place where the heavens manifest the spirit, so the incense is very vigorous. That's why Hongyi built this pavilion behind this mountain, and it couldn't be better to come here to drink tea and play chess on weekdays. ”

Gu Ziyue couldn't help but be envious when she heard this: "It's really cheap, this old man." ”

Su Chenye heard this and said: "If you like this place, just go back and build one in the East Palace." ”

Gu Ziyue smiled: "This is on the top of the mountain, your East Palace must be built on flat ground, how can there be a mountain? Not to mention that a pavilion must be built." ”

Su Chenye didn't defend himself, and looked at her with a light smile. Suddenly, Gu Ziyue seemed to remember something, and turned around and asked, "Su Chenye, do you have any children?"

Su Chenye finally couldn't hold back anymore, and laughed: "The first time I married a relative, I married you, where will I have an heir?" Gu Ziyue was a little embarrassed, in fact, she wanted to ask Su Chenye if she had a concubine, but she always felt embarrassed, so she didn't open her mouth again after all, whatever, she would be able to see him in two or three months anyway.

"The population of the East Palace is very simple, you are the only female dependent. I have no concubines, and certainly no heirs. “

Gu Ziyue bit her lip: "If you don't have it now, it doesn't mean that you won't have it in the future, when I get married, I don't know how many people are waiting to stuff people into the East Palace." You'll be busy. ”

Su Chenye smiled: "Since I was eighteen years old, people have been sending people to the East Palace, I can't help but send them to the ministers of the imperial court, my brothers, and even my father, the emperor, and the concubine are also trying their best to send people to the East Palace." There are not a few people who intend to match me with important officials of the court, so I know best how to refuse foreign women. Madame though rest assured. ”

Gu Ziyue's face flushed, "It's not that I don't want you to take a concubine, I'm not such a stingy person, don't misunderstand what I mean." ”

Su Chenye suddenly became serious: "Gu Ziyue, if I ascend the throne and take charge of the imperial power in the future, it is inevitable to fill the harem, if we can't fall in love with each other until that day, then the matter is simple, I'm afraid that if I am already in love with you when I ascend the throne, or we are already willing to grow old together, but we still have to take the initiative to let other women intervene in our lives, it is not my original intention." “

Gu Ziyue changed the topic and said, "How about we play a game of chess here?"

Su Chenye reacted quickly, nodded, called a passing little monk, took Hongyi's chessboard, and the two sat down and started to play.

No one spoke, except for the sound of the falling chess pieces, only the chirping of birds in the forest, the trickle of the stream in the mountains, and sometimes one or two chirps, but there was nothing else.

This game of chess has been played for a long time, and when Su Chenye fell the last son, the sun had already risen directly above the pavilion, and the little monk who received him yesterday was waiting a few feet away, and he didn't make a sound to disturb.

After playing chess, the two of them did not speak for a long time, playing chess is very enjoyable, and the enjoyable part is that it is like this for a lifetime, and it passes suddenly. Seeing that the two of them stopped and the chessboard was already full, the little monk coughed lightly and said softly, "Two donors, it's time for lunch." “

Gu Ziyue got up silently. Su Chenye's chess play is so good, she feels everything, from the beginning of her encounter with him, everything is like a set game, she is his chess piece, she walks into his game without knowing it, and thinks she can control her fate, she thinks she is the chess player, no, she is just a chess piece on his chess surface.

Su Chenye followed behind Gu Ziyue, the atmosphere between the two was a little weird, but the little monk didn't say much, just behind them, silently put away the chessboard, the same appearance, did not move a bit.

Su Chenye knew why Gu Ziyue was silent, he wanted to say that it was just a game of chess, not a real life, but even he felt that it was not convincing.

This embarrassment lasted until the two of them really saw the colorful halo of the Buddha's light appearing towards the sun, Gu Ziyue was shocked, Su Chenye had seen the Buddha's light once before, but it was nothing new, but it still made him feel calm and pious.

"Su Chenye, will you fall in love with me?" Gu Ziyue asked suddenly. Her gaze is still on the light of the Buddha, such a beautiful scenery that makes people feel convinced.

Su Chenye didn't answer, and looked at Gu Ziyue quietly: "What about you, will you fall in love with me?"

"Yes, because I don't have any other choice. I don't have a better way to make my life happier than to fall in love with you. ”

Su Chenye was shocked by Gu Ziyue's firmness, he understood what she meant, she married him, if she didn't love him, she could only be immersed in endless regret and unwillingness for the rest of her life, but if he didn't love her, the rest of her life would be the same miserable, but it was better than a hopeless depression.

Su Chenye said: "You are my wife, I don't love you, who else do I love?" Even if I don't love you enough now, or can't achieve the kind of love you want, maybe I only like you now, shallow love, but one day, I will fall in love with you." You are my wife, and I have no choice but to love you. ”

The light of the Buddha gradually faded, the sun began to move westward, the sky was dyed with a red halo, and the two stood side by side in the pavilion with the four corners upturned, the trees were shady, and the sound of the birds fluttering their wings could be heard all around. The two of them stood in the sunset, about to merge with heaven and earth into a beautiful painting.
