Chapter 41 laugh I can't come and go

Cuimei Temple.Ask Mei Ting.Spring breeze branches, plum blossoms fall.There is a poem chanting: Yinyun Nunnery in the deep stone alley, and the sound of Zen on the pillow sleeps in a dream.The hearts of the mortals are getting farther and farther away, and the place where the plum blossoms fall is the south of the Yangtze River. Sitting in the pavilion, Hongjian and Xiangqin have already prepared new tea. I enjoy the plum tea with the painting fan, and listen to the faint sound of the bell. In the distance, I can faintly hear the gurgling stream, the passing of the wind, and the falling flowers. Once upon a time.

It has been a long time since I felt such a relaxed and leisurely mood. The imperial palace is a gorgeous prison, imprisoning the most beautiful beauties and dense bones.The painting fan in front of me is romantic, elegant and unconventional. When I look at Qingcheng and then look at Qingguo, how can I bear to bring her into that place, but, Firework Alley, Firework Alley... "Sister... sister..." I called out. Huafan took a sip of tea and looked at me: "Well, sister, just tell me, I'll listen." I smiled faintly, and sighed softly: "Sister, if I could, I would rather be a girl from an ordinary peasant family outside Jinling City, marry an ordinary farmer, and live the most ordinary life of ordinary people."

Huafan sighed: "Sister, I think the same way, but this life is wasted, look forward to the next life, in the next life, I will only be the most mediocre woman." I comforted me: "Sister, don't say that, your life is still very long, do you still remember the teacher's words, you will rise to the top and become rich and powerful in the future." The painting fan smiled lightly: "Everything in the world is trivial, wealth and honor are like smoke and clouds, whoever understands Linglong's heart will be empty of wood and stone." "My sister actually practiced Zen."

"Hehe, sister, one day in the future, maybe I will really cut off my hair and clean it up here." "I believe, because maybe I will have that day." Hua Fan smiled and said: "Sister, you haven't said who the emperor is yet? We've all said these unrealistic things." I took a sip of tea, it was light and slightly astringent, and said in a serious manner: "Your Majesty, hehe, you have actually seen it before." "Oh? I've seen it too?" "Yes, do you still remember that the two of us won the oiran together in the old year?"

"Of course I remember that day. I think everyone in Jinling City will never forget that day. I remember you and I receiving so many appreciative gazes on the stage of Yuxiu Pavilion." Huafan recalled the scene of that day with great concentration. "Yes, it was that day that changed me. The young man in Chinese clothes who recommended me as the oiran was the one who arranged everything for me later, allowing me to enter the palace in one step, and gave me the title of Jieyu, the third rank." I said. Said frankly. "It's him." Hua Fan's voice was extremely low, as if talking to himself.

"Well, it's him. Back then, he was Prince Yuan of the Great Qi Kingdom. After the emperor passed away, he became the emperor. It was the draft, and he arranged my life for me, so I didn't participate in the draft, so I entered the palace directly. Because he has recognized me before." Huafan seems to be lost in thought, perhaps this answer is a bit too surprising.After taking a sip of tea, Fan Hua said with a smile: "Congratulations sister, he will regard you as a treasure and he will spoil you all over his body." "Why did my sister say that?" "Silly sister, at the beginning, he promoted you as the oiran, just for the sake of being a beauty, and then he put in so much pains to choose you into the palace, for the sake of being together." .

I sighed: "But sister can't see that I'm not as calm and quiet as I was in Miyuedu?" The painting fan held my hand: "Yes, sister, since ancient times, everything must be reversed. I think my sister committed this big taboo in the palace. Those women are all smart, so how can they allow a new concubine to spoil her all over her body?" ?” "But I'm already very low-key. I even used methods to make the emperor not notice me. I plan to hide in Yueyang Palace and spend the rest of my life with me." I was arguing palely, and I knew that such a statement was too weak in the face of the facts up.

"Yueyang Palace? What a unique name." "Yes, Yueyang Palace, he gave it to me." "Sister, he spoils you so much. Since he can't change it, he must learn to cater to him and learn how to survive in the harem. Only when he has a firm foothold can he walk on the earth." Disaster. I sighed: "Sister, if you are also in the palace and our sister has a caregiver, I won't be so lonely." Afterwards, I told Huafan everything that happened when I entered the palace, including the nightmares I had every night when I entered the palace, the encounter with Prince Chunzhen of the Mausoleum, the reunion with Emperor Chunyi, and the empress of the harem , Concubine Yun, Concubine Wu, Xie Ronghua and others all said to listen to her.The so-called bystanders are clear, and the authorities are obsessed. I want her to guess who poisoned Concubine Wu and who poisoned me.

The final answer was that the poisoner was not one, but two. I exclaimed: "There are two poisoners? Could it be that there are two master poisoners in the deep palace?" Hua Fan explained: "The person who poisoned Concubine Wu at the beginning knew that his plan had failed, and this matter has not been reported. It is very unlikely that he will use Concubine Wu's hands to poison you again. If this plan succeeds If Concubine Wu is to forgive the crime, then the matter of her poisoning will also be uncovered. Wouldn't it be necessary for the emperor to continue to investigate, and Concubine Wu is a pawn that is useless. Besides, you are so close to Concubine Wu. Taking advantage of the friendship of giving ginseng soup, it is too far-fetched to poison. In short, my intuition tells me that the two poisonings cannot be done by one person. However, I feel vaguely that there is a certain connection between them."

I vaguely understood, like falling into the clouds, but felt clear under her analysis layer by layer.So he asked, "Can my sister guess who these two are?" Hua Fan shook his head lightly: "I can't guess either. After all, I'm in it. It's hard to judge anything based on one-sided words. On the surface, only Concubine Yun, Lan Zhaorong and Xu Guifei are hostile to you, but The three of them are one, at most they can only be regarded as one person, and there is another person hiding behind the truth, so we must guard against it in the future." The expressions of so many concubines in the harem emerged in my mind, some were smiling, some were cold, some were kind, some were serious... When everyone was confused and tangled together, I couldn't tell who was good and who was bad.Sighing softly: "The clouds cover my eyes, I can't tell who is the good guy and who is the bad guy."

"Yeah, all we can see are appearances, uncover the psychedelic appearance, many realities are not what we see. What is true becomes false, and what is false becomes true; okay become bad, bad become good; good become evil, evil become good; sad become joy, joy become sorrow; love become hate, hate become Love..." Hua Fan's words were sharp and blood-clogging, which made me shudder. My palms broke out in cold sweat, I drank a sip of tea, and said calmly: "Sister, after hearing what you said, I don't want to go back to the palace anymore, there are traps and conspiracies everywhere." Huafan smiled and said: "What are you afraid of? The emperor dotes on you. In the future, relying on the emperor's favor, you can turn upside down in the harem. You are as smart as you, but you are still afraid of their humble schemes?" Nose: "I'm afraid that with my sister's indifference, aloofness, kindness and innocence, she doesn't disdain and won't calculate others like that, and she will still be hurt by others." I smirked: "Yes, I really can't do it if I want to plot against others and hurt others. I don't want to, and I don't bother." Those who drink tea, are all entangled in those things in the harem, disturbing our interest, you must know how precious my time is." Huafan also got up, held my hand, and said with a smile: "Good sister, you are so pitiful, today I will risk my life to accompany the beauty, not to go back to that damn Firework Lane, not to go back to that troublesome Yingxue Tower, stay Cuimei Nunnery, accompany my sister to admire the plum blossoms and talk, chant scriptures and listen to Zen, okay?" I said happily: "It's so good, I also want to have a night talk with my sister Bingzhu. This time, I don't know when we will see each other again." Hua Fan smiled and said: "We are always guests when we come and go, and the relationship is always related to gathering and parting. Sister, since we are destined to gather in this Cuimei Temple, we will no longer be obsessed with the sorrows and joys of separation and reunion in the world." I smiled wryly: "Sister, I realize that I have changed. I am no longer the indifferent and resolute frown that I used to be, but I am so impenetrable." "It's not that you have changed, but that you have always been in love in your bones. Sister, you may not know that you are in love with him. You have love, so your body is hindered." So familiar words, I remembered that it was what the Buddha said to me in the early morning, saying that the monk was infatuated with love. Looking at the plum forest and the misty floating path, I was a little confused, and said in a low voice: "I can't come and go like a laugh, and I stay in this small body every year. I have been psychedelic for a few times. There is no turning back in the river, and it takes a lot of trouble." The painting fan took my hand and said with a smile: "Fool, let's go, let's go quietly to enjoy the plum blossoms, don't let down this wonderful spring." I smiled and said: "Hehe, call me idiot, sister, you have become a Buddha." Plum blossoms clip the path, falling calyxes pave stones, purple clouds fill the sky, and two graceful shadows float and disappear among the branches and leaves of the sea of ​​flowers...
