Chapter 108 Waking up and returning to Yueyang Palace

When I walked out of the temple, I looked back for the first time, and the Buddha knew that I was reluctant, but he didn't expose my soft weakness.I got into the carriage and bid farewell to Cuimei Temple, Master Miaochen, and Buddha.He chanted a song "Linjiang Immortal" in a low voice, which can be regarded as an interpretation of the sigh in his heart. I am sad and lonely from the lotus platform, Bodhi is empty in all realms. Zen mind, cloud and water are the same.There is no need to dwell on the old dream, the old dream is calm. It should be remembered that the floating clouds are worthy of the past, and the haze is sent to the breeze.

Fate comes and goes too hastily.Just take care, and from now on, we will go east and west. Chunyi is also a person who keeps promises. Along the way, the mountain trails are smooth, and the shoveled snow is piled up on both sides of the road, like snow mountains of different heights. The original clean white is stained with dust and black, and loses its purity. color, is this still snow?A large number of snow-shoveling troops have disappeared without a trace. Chun Yi must have ordered them to leave. He knew that I needed a clean place, so I went back no matter how I got here. Those huge forces would only make me feel dizzy.

When the carriages and horses arrived at Shenglong Street, they happened to arrive at the entrance of the alley where I parted from Huafan.The sedan chair was approaching, so we didn't step down, we just opened the sedan chair curtain and held our hands tightly together. I looked at the painting fan with a smile: "Sister, take care." Huafan nodded and looked at me with a smile: "Sister, take care too, I believe that when we meet again, both of you and I will be fine." I firmly said: "Well, I also believe that no matter how far away, you must remember that I will always be by your side. If you encounter difficulties, you can find a way and order someone to come to the palace to find me." I thought of her. There is also Yue Chenghuang, who believes that the matter of painting fans can be solved easily.This kind of friendship between a man and a woman can't last long. If she needs it, she can come to me. It's just that ordinary people can knock on the palace gate of Zijin City?

Hua Fan smiled and said, "I see, just take care of yourself, I'm much better than you." After saying goodbye, Concubine Wu, Xie Ronghua and I continued on our way. This place is very close to Zijin City.I remembered that when I came back from Mingyue Mountain Villa, I was assassinated in this Shenglong Street. The thrilling scene is still in front of me, but now Shenglong Street is extremely prosperous, with the warm sunshine pouring down, and the people are still reminiscing about the joy and joy of this year , did not feel any turmoil at all.All this tells me that now is a peaceful and prosperous age, the country is stable, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe.In fact, how much I want Chu Yu to be in the crowd right now, living the life of ordinary people, marrying a virtuous wife, having a few children, and living an ordinary life.But I somehow hope that I am that commoner woman and live such a simple and happy life. Maybe in this way, we will all be happy.

A dream is just a dream, after the dream, it is reality.When the chariots and horses drove slowly into the gate of the palace, it dawned on me that I had already returned to Zijin City, and everything was about to return to the beginning, as if there were countless pairs of eyes watching us, watching us return. Saying goodbye to Concubine Wu, Xie Ronghua and Gu Wanyi one by one, I return to my own Yueyang Palace.It's only been three days, nothing has changed, everything is the same, the snow in Yueyang Palace has been swept away, and the people in the palace lined up to welcome me. I walked directly towards Meiyun Hall, it was a short distance from Cuimei Temple to Zijin City, but I felt that I was covered in dust.Back in the Nuan Pavilion, ask Qiuxi to order Meixin, and Zhuxin to prepare hot water for me. I need to take a shower and change clothes.

The warm pavilion was filled with the smell of silver charcoal and agarwood crumbs. I lay in the warm water with my eyes closed, feeling the familiar smell.I have spent more than a year here, deeply loved by Chunyi, and have never suffered so much.Chunyi, will he come to Yueyang Palace tonight?In fact, I miss him a little bit, miss his breath, miss his tenderness to me. Hong Jian gently wiped my snow-like skin with the petals, the icy muscles and bones of the old year did not seem to have changed in the slightest.I closed my eyes and relaxed myself in the dense mist. I only heard Hong Jian whispering: "Miss, just now Mei Xin dragged me over to say something."

"What did you say?" I asked casually, still closing my eyes, enjoying the warmth of the water. "It's about the emperor." Hong Jian seemed to speak timidly. It seemed that something small related to the emperor had happened in the past few days. I wasn't surprised, and said slowly, "Go on." "The emperor has been staying in the Yunxiao Palace of Concubine Yun for the past few days." Hong Jian said this sentence very slowly, as if she still had more to say. I asked lightly: "What else? What else?" "It's nothing, just staying in Yunxiao Palace for a few days, I heard Mei Xin say so." Hong Jian said slowly, but with my eyes closed, I felt that Hong Jian still had something to say.In fact, I was a little surprised that Chunyi stayed in Yunxiao Palace for several days in a row. I was not surprised to stay in Yunxiao Palace, but I felt a little unusual for staying there for several days in a row.Because these days, Chunyi and Concubine Yun have had a clear gap, and I persuaded them to go to Yunxiao Palace occasionally, but this time, I can't understand it.

But I knew that Hong Jian must have heard something else, so I couldn't help asking: "Tell me, is there anything else to hide from me?" While wiping my wrist, Hong Jian said: "I heard from Mei Xin that Concubine Yun was ill that day, and she was very ill. Later, when the emperor went to see her in Yunxiao Palace, she cried like crazy and refused to let the emperor leave. According to rumors, Concubine Yun is actually not sick, but just wants to keep the emperor." "That's it?" There was a contemptuous smile on the corner of my mouth, and I slowly opened my eyes, and the mist steamed my thoughts.

Hong Jian looked at me and nodded slightly: "Well, that's all I've heard." I smiled and said, "It's not like Concubine Yun's style to use illness and crying to keep the emperor. If you pass on my order in a while, the people in Yueyang Palace are not allowed to break their mouths. It is normal for the emperor to stay with the concubine. The thing is, doesn't the emperor often stay in Yueyang Palace one after another, according to this, I don't know how many people are talking about me behind my back." Hong Jian hastily argued: "This is different, how can Miss and Concubine Yun be compared?"

I turned my eyebrows to look at her sharply: "What's the difference? She is the high-ranking Concubine Yun, but I am just a third-rank Jieyu. In terms of status, there is a world of difference. If the emperor loves a Concubine Yun, he will be punished." If you think it's surprising, then what's the point of doting on a Jieyu?" Hong Jian has followed me for so many years, she naturally understands my thoughts, she nodded quickly and said: "I understand, miss, I will order them down in a while, so that they don't say a word about this matter." "Is there anything else?" I asked lightly.

Hong Jian shook her head: "Not anymore." When I got up, Qiuxi hurriedly put on a thick robe for me, wrapped my long black hair, and felt extremely comfortable after taking a bath.Sitting in front of the fire, Qiuxi untied my long hair, wiped and combed it carefully. Qiu Xi didn't say anything, she has always been an intelligent woman, she knew that I wouldn't mind these things, so there was no need to tell me too much. Let Chunyi stay in Yunxiao Palace for a few nights, I am sure, he will return to my Yueyang Palace tonight, I want him to come in my heart, I won't see you for a few days, I can't say I don't have the slightest thought.But I don't want him to come, if he hurried back to my side tonight, what would Concubine Yun's hard work these days be for?She is bound to hate me even more. Sitting alone in the warm pavilion, sitting for a whole day, I remember that in the past when I came back from Cuimei Nunnery, Chunyi always waited for me in Yueyang Palace, or he would come soon after I entered the door. It's different, but I don't feel that his heart is alienated from mine at all. After dinner, I looked at the moon by the window, it was sunny today, the clear moonlight was hanging on the tops of the snowy trees, and there were crystal shining stars.My quietness is to wait?Or for something else? When the sound of his footsteps approached, I quietly turned around and met his eyes, but at this moment, I understood that there was a reason for his lateness.His heart has never been alienated from me in the slightest. I hurriedly saluted: "Your Majesty, the concubine is welcome." He came over to hold my hand, and because he walked on the cold night road, he felt a little cool, and said with a gentle smile: "Meiqing, there is no need to be polite." Then he looked at me and said, "Let me take a good look, just now A few days, like a few autumns." I looked at him shyly: "Your Majesty, it's only been three days. The concubine went to the nunnery to meditate, and didn't go to see the bustling world. If you want to change, you should become more pure." Chun Yi hugged me into his arms, and said softly: "I don't want you to be too pure-hearted, how can I bear it if you are too pure-hearted." I thought to myself that you have been staying in Yunxiao Palace for the past few days, and it is really unbearable. I smiled and said: "Your Majesty, my concubine thinks it's good to be away for a few days, and I will miss you. Sometimes in the palace, although I don't see you for a few days, I always feel that I am in the same place, the same garden, so there is no separation." Feeling. And Cuimei Temple is different, once you walk in, it seems to be cut off from the world of mortals.” He stroked my long hair on the shawl: "I feel the same way, so I ordered them to level the snow path to Cuimei Temple no matter what, otherwise, how could Meiqing return to me in three days? "It's hard for Chunyi to have a heart, busy with Concubine Yun at the same time, but also to issue such an order, remembering us. I snuggled into his arms, quietly enjoying the long-lost warmth, and said nothing more. He gently leaned close to my ear, and said softly: "Do you miss me?" I nodded slightly: "Yes." Chun Yi hugged me even tighter: "I miss you too, this time when I come back, I'll be quietly in Yueyang Palace, and I won't allow you to leave easily." "Well, the concubine will not leave." I looked very docile. He took a deep breath: "The affairs outside the customs are almost handled. I have given King Jinyang many things he wants, but this is a great Central Plains. I can't give it up. I believe it can be calm for a while. You can also take a good rest." I nodded happily: "That's good. I passed by Shenglong Street today and saw the prosperous scenery. At that time, I deeply felt that Daqi is stable, the country is peaceful and the people are safe. No one can shake this peaceful and prosperous world." .” Chunyi looked at it gently: "I have always believed in Mei Qing's feelings, so I am very relieved that Daqi's land is not allowed to be lost in my hands." "The concubine has always believed in the emperor." I cuddled close to him, wanting to hand over all my fatigue to him.As for the matter between him and Concubine Yun, I don't want to know at all, and I believe he won't mention it at all. After a short pause, Chunyi asked, "What can I gain from going to Cuimei Temple this time?" I smiled: "It's still the same, the only gain is that it has been snowed all over the sky, which has added an ingenious artistic conception to the monastery." As I talked, I recalled that snowy night, the arrival of Chu Yu, and The story of fox fairies and ghosts, all of that is too far away from Zijin City. Chunyi patted my back lightly, and said softly: "I won't think about things there when I come back. It's outside the dust, and this is inside the dust. It's a completely different world. If you immerse yourself in it, you will be very tired." I nodded: "The concubine knows, so the concubine wants to come back, return to Yueyang Palace, and return to the emperor's side." Chunyi hugged me by the waist and said with a smile: "I can't wait for Meiqing to come back to my side. Standing here is too tiring. Let's go to the bedroom and sleep on the couch and have a long talk." I snuggled into his arms shyly: "The emperor is too bad." "Hehe, I never want you to say hello to me." Chun Yi hugged me and walked towards the bedroom, I clinging tightly to his arms, with my arms around his neck, suddenly, I felt that this feeling was very tender, and I fell in love with this tender ambiguity.It seems that the Buddha was wrong. He said I was decadent and careless.In fact, only I understand that I cannot stay in Cuimei Nunnery all my life and let my mind be as calm as water.I am a woman in the world of mortals, with blood, flesh and emotion, and I need Chunyi's warmth.
