Bright Spring

Perhaps the man also felt a little embarrassed to stare at each other silently, so he said something.Yisuva couldn't even understand the short words, and of course she didn't know what such a long sentence meant.

After the man finished speaking, Yisuwa thought about it, and then spoke in Zhenla.Anyway, he didn't understand, so Yisuva spoke from her heart.

"I was coerced to go to the Ming army camp in Saigon Bay. I have experienced many things before. Looking back, many things were very coincidental, as if I was destined to go there; as long as there is a little mistake in it, there will be no such coincidence. .It must be fate."

As soon as Yisuwa said it, she felt a lot of emotion in her heart, "If I was destined to go to Saigon Bay, what would it be for? What is the meaning of such a fateful arrangement? Later, an eunuch named Meng Ji invited me to come. The capital city of the Ming Dynasty, I thought about it all night, and suddenly realized that my arrangement to the Ming army camp was to come to the capital city of the Ming Dynasty. This is a preordained thing, and I cannot violate it."

The man in front of him couldn't understand at all, but he still listened and paid extra attention to Yiswa's eyes.

"Hmm..." The man made a sound.

The two of them fell into silence again, and they both seemed to understand that talking was useless, it was better than facial expressions and body movements.

Yisuva observed the man, and felt that he was very strange, probably because she had never seen such a person before.

It's not because of his strange appearance, but because of his temperament and expression.There was a sharp edge in his eyes, and there was a firm temperament between his brows.Like most Ming people, he has a restrained and reserved demeanor; most Chenla people have a somewhat wild and natural demeanor, but the Ming people seem to be man-made.

Finely crafted stuff.The man in front of him was generally gentle and introverted, making people feel kind.

In the Battle of Saigon Bay, Yisuva did not see the battlefield with her own eyes, but she knew the whole process.The Ming army defeated the Chenla army's navy and army in two days, and An En, who has always been brave and good at fighting, was almost powerless to parry.With such a fierce Ming army, why do these people look so kind?Isuva couldn't imagine.

But this kind of gentle carving made Yiswa feel more at ease.Because being wild and natural means instinctive randomness, she had to think of the lewd | evil eyes of the nephew of the Minister of the Palace, Naye, and the experience of becoming a monk could not tame his instincts.

The man stood up from the stool, made another movement, and then walked out the door.He took a few steps and turned his head to look at Yisuva.

Yisuva had no choice but to get up and follow him out.She guessed that maybe the man also felt that it was awkward to sit opposite each other.

When I walked to the eaves, the sound of monks chanting scriptures came from behind the yard.Yisuva couldn't understand the lyrics, but the rhythm of the melody made her feel the indifferent tranquility of being indifferent to the world.She hid the violent emotions deep in her heart, and the Sanskrit sound, which was completely opposite, was entangled and disturbed her.

At this moment, the man's voice interrupted her distress.While pointing at the temples on both sides, he seemed to be describing something.

Somehow, when Yisuwa heard his voice, she suddenly felt a little better.His voice was pleasant, calm and even, completely different from the Sanskrit sound of the monk chanting sutras.Although Yisuva couldn't understand the meaning, she liked the tone more.

In order to hear his voice clearly, Yisuva approached slowly, and the two of them were almost walking side by side.The strange thing is that she obviously couldn't communicate at all, but she quickly felt that the relationship between the two seemed very familiar.

They gradually walked to the Buddhist temple where they had just met.The man clasped his fists to salute her, and said something.

Seeing this, Yisuva also folded her palms together to salute in her customary manner, thought for a while and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you."

The man showed the same smile as before, then turned around and strode out.

Isuva was taken aback.Because he was walking so fast, she couldn't keep up unless she hurried after him.

Since she couldn't understand the man's words, she felt that he left very suddenly and was surprised for a while.Looking at his back, Yisuva was vaguely disappointed.Perhaps because in this unfamiliar place, this man easily made her feel a little inexplicable intimacy.

She just waited here, guessing that someone would come to pick him up.Most likely it was the fat, round-faced eunuch, and it was the eunuch who brought her here.

Yisuwa looked up again at the statue of Lord Buddha. Lord Buddha's eyes were half-opened, with a subtle expression.The more she looked at it, the more she felt that Lord Buddha's demeanor was somewhat similar to that of the Daming people. It seemed that after coming here, he was influenced by the Daming people.

I don't know if the Buddha Lord of Ming Dynasty also has the theory of karma?Thinking of this, Yisuva knelt down on the grass futon in front of her, clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and prayed devoutly.

When she opened her eyes and got up, she found an eunuch standing behind her, looking at her curiously.But this person is no longer the white and fat eunuch.

Yisuva frowned and asked, "Are you sent by the eunuch?"

The eunuch looked bewildered, and said a few words, then shook his head and continued talking, and then gestured for her to go out.

Neither can understand the other.but big

The capital of the Ming Dynasty had a large population, and it seemed to be well-organized and not chaotic. In addition, Yisuwa heard that eunuchs were only found in the palace, so she endured the lingering guard in her heart and followed the eunuchs out.

It wasn't until she returned to her residence, the huge palace courtyard where she lived a few days ago (Hanwang Old Mansion), that she let go of her worries and fears.

...Zhu Gaoxu has gone to Ma Enhui's mansion by Yanque Lake.The carriage drove into the mansion before stopping. He got out of the carriage and immediately saw the eunuch Cao Fu standing beside him.

After walking a few steps forward, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly stopped and turned to look at Cao Fu.Cao Fu trotted up immediately, with a flattering smile on his face.

Zhu Gaoxu said, "I remembered one thing. You figured out the style of clothing worn by women in Chenla, and asked someone to make a few of them, so that Isuwa could wear the clothes of her own country. The skirt must be worn by Han women, and it is worn in foreign vassals. There is something strange about a woman that cannot be described."

Cao Fu hurriedly said, "The maid obeys the order, and will definitely do it according to the emperor's wishes."

After Zhu Gaoxu finished speaking, he walked forward for a while, and soon saw En Hui who came to greet him.It just so happened that Enhui was also wearing a simple and elegant skirt, her appearance and demeanor matched it, and every style was a blessing, which made her look more natural.

The two walked through the growing bamboo forest, Zhu Gaoxu said apologetically, "I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing?"

En Hui showed a smile, with a calm and tolerant smile, and a little helplessness in her smile, she said softly, "I usually live well, but when the saint came up, it was a surprise."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

Enhui murmured again, "My concubine occasionally thinks of those monks, because I can let go of the obsessions of the world, get married, start a career, fame and fortune, etc.; if I give up some, I will become light and light in the world, and I will lose a lot of troubles and troubles."

"It seems to make sense." Zhu Gaoxu said.He thought of Yisuwa whom he had just met, and he couldn't help saying, "People who are born to believe in Buddhism may still be reluctant to let go of their grievances and entangled in their obsessions; but people who are Zeng Muyi's world, on the contrary, can see clearly .”

Enhui asked casually, "Who is born to believe in Buddhism?"

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and said with a smile, "It's just a casual talk."

She didn't ask any more questions.

As the two walked slowly, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt that Enhui's words just now had other meanings.

Zhu Gaoxu guessed that Enhui wanted to return to the palace; she had also hinted at it, but never said it explicitly.She may be very aware of the emperor's mentality. The emperor may be willing to give, but she cannot ask for it.

Zhu Gaoxu, considering various reasons, has not fulfilled her wish for a long time.En Hui probably realized that Zhu Gaoxu had difficulties, so she said something else just now... When she first heard it, Zhu Gaoxu was very comfortable.

Eun Hye didn't want to embarrass him and put pressure on her.

Zhu Gaoxu said meaningfully, "Enhui is really a considerate person."

Enhui said softly, "If everything can be as people wish, how can the world be like this?"

The antique attic in front is already in sight. The pavilion on the top of the mountain and the plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum planted around it are commensurate with the hostess here in Hanfu, and the scenery is beautiful.

And the open Yanque Lake in the distance makes all the elegant and beautiful things appear a little more open-minded.

Chapter 9 - News from Peking

At the time of You, Zhu Gaoxu and other talents returned to the palace from Xuanwu Gate.As soon as he arrived at Qianqing Palace, he met the eunuch Wang Gui.

Wang Gui stepped forward and said, "My lord, Hou Zuo envoy (Hou Hai) has been waiting on the corridor for almost half an hour."

He continued in a low voice, "In the afternoon, Hou Zuo envoy went to the Hall of Martial Arts to the Hall of Rouyi, and asked the eunuch on duty where the emperor is. The slaves had to let the eunuch pass the message, saying that the emperor had returned to Qianqing Palace to rest.

Hou Zuoshi seemed to have something important to do, so he invited him to Dongnuange again and told us to report.The servant girl went to see Hou Zuo envoy, thinking that the emperor was going out in the morning, and it was time to return to the palace, so she asked Hou Zuo envoy to wait.Unexpectedly, he waited for half an hour. "

Zhu Gaoxu glanced down at the straight robe on his body, and said, "I'm going to Dongnuan Pavilion now."
