Changqing Ci

This temple called Jingshan Temple is very ordinary, not as strong as the royal temple, but Princess Pingnan came here to offer incense every year, and used to come here alone, now that Xun Changqing is a senior, and she is taken out to get some air.

The Zen lecture was boring, Xun Changqing felt depressed after listening to it for half an hour, and slipped out from behind the door again, she was young and kept her body low, so no one noticed.

Most of the temples are towering ancient trees. In late spring, the leaves are extremely lush, and the top of the parasol tree goes straight into the sky.Changqing walked down the sycamore tree and saw many steles with many words engraved on them. If you look closely, they are all complicated scriptures.

Further forward is an ancient gazebo, where two people are playing chess. One is a woman about 50 years old, dressed plainly, with jade hairpins slanted in her temples, with a luxurious temperament and a strong scholarly atmosphere between her eyebrows and eyes , she quietly stared at the white-bearded monk opposite, and the monk should be at least seventy-seven years old from his face.

But he was not in a rigid manner, on the contrary, he had a kind face, he spoke and smiled lightly, while talking and laughing, the woman frowned, as if struggling for a while, she dropped the white piece in her hand, shook her head and said: "I lost."

The white-bearded monk said with a smile: "If you are absent-minded, how can you accomplish anything?"

The woman paused for a moment, but she didn't answer. She lowered her eyes and looked at the chess game that had been killed to pieces, and sighed bitterly: "You should know that many years ago, I didn't want to enter the deep palace, so I invited myself to go." Jiangnan, now I don't want my child to be involved, but the second prince won't let him go."

"The deep palace is not scary, you should know it after staying for so many years."

The white-bearded monk's words were as gentle as the stream flowing slowly in front of the farmhouse, and his serious attitude was added with a layer of concern. The rough and rough sounds were calm and breezy, and he was an expert who saw through the world.

And the woman is Wei Xiao, the princess of Ning'an County. Every time she returns to Beijing, she will visit this monk. Once the person she loves falls, his heart will be as calm as water.Wei Xiao said helplessly: "You should know that the deep palace is not as peaceful as before. I don't want Ah Ci to be involved in it. Can you..."

"How do people outside the mortal world care about the affairs within the mortal world? The benefactor should find another way. If the younger generation's heart belongs to the deep palace, why not go with the flow and make a marriage, it is also a good thing."

Princess Ning'an knew that he would refuse, and she was used to it, but Wei Lingci was the only child under her knees, how to choose, the emperor was different from the previous emperor who treated her favorably, and now refusing would only arouse the wrath of the emperor.She said helplessly: "A Ci disagreed, so he didn't return to the imperial capital for several years. Besides, the second prince is the crown prince appointed by His Majesty. You should understand how there is only A Ci alone in the harem."

The pavilion was quiet for a long while. The white-bearded monk, dressed in white, stood up and glanced sideways at the stone tablet not far away. A stubborn person, if you tell the truth, he will not force you."

In this way, the order to evict the guest was issued, Wei Xiao got up and looked at him and saluted before gathering his clothes and leaving.

Xun Changqing, who strayed into the forest of stone steles, groaned inwardly, not knowing what the two of them were talking about, but before the woman left, she saluted the white-bearded monk, which was actually a courtesy of a courtier, really strange.She is small, hiding behind the stone tablet is not easy to detect, and intends to leave after the white-bearded monk leaves.

Seeing the woman leave, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly, a voice came from inside the gazebo: "Come out."

Changqing was startled, and looked around specially, but found no one, and then guessed that it was herself.In desperation, Xu Xu approached the gazebo, made a virtual salute, and said apologetically, "Your junior strayed into this place by mistake, and didn't intentionally eavesdrop."

With black hair and jade crown, red lips and white teeth, her words and deeds are honest and elegant, but her deep and deep eyes are not suitable for her age.Entering this place by mistake, after being called out by him, he is still calm and unruffled, he is very well educated, even though he has been up and down in the imperial inner garden for dozens of years, he has already found out these superficial things, and he does not want to get involved in them, but seeing this The white-bearded monk couldn't help laughing at such a smart child, "Which family's girl?"

Xun Changqing looked up, impatient with his words, and immediately answered him bluntly: "I am a man, not a girl."

"It's just a tomboy," the white-bearded monk didn't bother to argue, looked down at her, with a half-smile, and asked her, "I haven't told you yet, which family are you from...Xiaoerlang?"

Xun Changqing felt disrespectful, she is an important place in Buddhism, she must meditate, she bent down and bowed, and said in a low voice: "Xun Changqing, the son of King Pingnan."

This is the heir of the old man, and the white-bearded monk looked at her again. For some reason, his heart was cold and his face was still indifferent, and he said: "So, the royal heir should be so dignified and polite, so that he can live up to his predecessors." Human suffering."

Xun Changqing was half-knowledgeable and half-understood, and he heard him say again: "Looking is born from the heart, there is a demon in the heart, worrying about the past, it has become a loss, why bother to pursue it, it is better to let it go, and then look for its trace."

Past life... Confused... Xun Changqing's spirit trembled suddenly, and she suddenly felt a shudder. She wanted to ask, but the white-bearded monk had disappeared into the forest, and the words still echoed in her ears: Caring about the past life has become a reality. at a loss...

In late spring, there was a lot of rain, and when Xun Changqing came out of the forest of stone steles, it began to rain, and she almost ran back to her original resting place.

When she entered the front porch of the house, her clothes were more than half wet, the temples under the jade crown were soaked with light, the rain outside was endless, the clouds and mist shrouded like misty veils, the wind passed her ears, and the tip of her nose seemed to smell a faint smell of peach blossoms, maybe it was peach blossoms Knocked down by the wind and rain, the fragrance comes with the wind.

There was no one in the corridor, and she didn't know if the concubine had ever returned, so she turned around and went into her own room. Her clothes were thin and blown by the wind, so she couldn't wait to open the door to change.

Opening the door, there is a person standing behind the screen in the room, who seems to be changing clothes, the skirt of the shoulders slipped off, Changqing looked at the back of the familiar figure, exhaled suddenly, his heart was in a mess, and his eyes were glued to her clean shoulders Her skin was as translucent as flawless jade, and she seemed to see a beautiful face through the empty space, which was extremely dazzling.

The people in the house noticed that someone had come in, quickly put on their clothes, turned around, and it turned out that it was the person Xun Changqing had missed for a long time. In the past two years, she thought that the two of them would never meet again, and when she was about to relax, Wei Lingci unexpectedly returned.

The heart is like a withered orchid, its roots are already dead, but how can I meet someone who waters and cultivates it again!

What should she do?

Wei Lingci came out from behind the screen, his eyebrows and eyes were as beautiful as a painter's meticulously crafted brushwork, his lips were slightly pale after being wet from the rain, his long hair was scattered like precious silk, and his cold eyes seemed to be scorched by a raging fire However, it burns quickly.

How could Xun Changqing, who was familiar with her every move, not know that she was angry, but this was his own house, and there was no one to stop him outside, so he couldn't blame her when he came in. The hatred in his heart was like grass being burned by a fire at this moment, and every inch of it was wiped out. , before she could speak, she said, "Who are you? Why did you enter my room?"

There was no anger in the voice, but a little gentleness in the strict listening. Wei Ling's eyes were still angry, but seeing the eight-year-old child pretending to be mature, she felt cute again. She could hear clearly just now. The person in front of her had just entered the door. She didn't see anything, and she couldn't afford to argue with a child, so she said: "I just borrowed your room to change clothes, but it's your etiquette to enter without knocking when you know there are people in the room?"

It is very different from Xun Changqing's gentle voice. Wei Lingci's voice is very cold, and his words are reprimanded. Just like in the previous life, Xun Changqing felt a little impatient, and with a straight face, he replied: "This is my resting place." The house, and there is no one outside the door, how do I know there are people in the house."

Young and eloquent, Wei Lingci felt displeased when he saw that the person in front of him was a boy, and was too lazy to continue talking with him, so he walked out of the room.

Xun Changqing didn't want the meeting between the two to be like this, looked down at her own robes, her identity had changed, many things had changed, she would not repeat the same mistakes in her previous life, absolutely not.

She hurriedly changed her clothes and went to the next door to look for the princess. She walked so fast that she even forgot to knock on the door and rushed in, but she saw the woman who had just played chess in the gazebo sitting opposite the princess, and Wei standing beside her. Ling Ci.

After a breath, she raised her eyebrows and bowed her head, stepped forward, and after saluting, she stood here obediently.

Ning'an Princess Wei Xiao looked at Xun Changqing who was so obedient, and boasted with a smile: "Young master has beautiful features and good manners. If he is a girl, he should be a beauty."

Princess Pingnan, who was sitting by the side, unconsciously pursed her lips and smiled. Just as she was about to speak, she noticed her daughter's eyes shooting here. She swallowed the words in her belly, gently picked up the teacup, and said with a smile: "Don't Looking at it now, it’s all an illusion, and sometimes it’s a headache.”

She beckoned Xun Changqing to come closer. It was raining outside, and the servants couldn't find her. Now that she came back, it must be raining. She raised her hand to touch her shoulder and asked her, "Is it raining? Today I'm afraid I won't go back home, I'll ask someone to make a bowl of ginger soup, drink it before going to bed, don't be lazy."

Xun Changqing nodded, and quietly raised his eyes to glance at Wei Lingci who was opposite him. The latter's expression was still condensed. She gritted her teeth and looked sideways at him.

The princess fixed her gaze on Wei Lingci's fair and clean cheeks, her eyes flickered, and she brushed her fingertips over the wet hair at the temples, and said casually: "Changqing, you go back to the house and ask someone to wipe your hair for you." Do it, it's easy to catch cold."

It was so good that Xun Changqing couldn't ask for it, so he withdrew after saluting.

After Xun Changqing left, Princess Pingnan picked up the hot tea she hadn't had a sip of just now, and said calmly: "Two years ago, the head of Lingyun proposed to let Changqing worship under Ah Ci's family. If you talk too much, the matter will be settled. Now, Ah Ci is here, what do you mean?"

Wei Lingci was obviously taken aback. The boy just now was carved with jade and has a calm temperament. He can be regarded as an heir of the royal family. It may be difficult for a woman to accept it, and it may be inappropriate for the young master to be a man."

The concubine heard the words "the young master is a man", and couldn't help but tighten her lips. The hot tea was in her throat, which added warmth. Now she only wants to protect Xun Changqing, and she can't care about anything else. She leisurely And smiled: "Changqing, you are sensible and considerate, I don't know which man will be cheaper in the future."

Wei Ling didn't know what Wei Ling's words meant, Princess Ning'an was more familiar with common things, she was a little dazed, and then said with a smile: "So, the princess is also very lucky, Pingnan Palace has no shortage of people who can wield swords and guns. I'm afraid it's more loving."

Princess Ning'an grew up in the palace since she was a child, and she and King Pingnan were childhood friends. The princess said, if her daughter refuses, she might cause unpleasantness. She also likes children with outstanding temperament, the more sensible she is She persuaded her daughter: "Changqing has a good temper, and now he is just young, and he will become a master after one or two honings. This time when we return to Lingyun, we just take her with us."

The two sang together, if Wei Lingci didn't want to, I'm afraid it would offend the elders. Since she is not a man, it's okay to accept her, she has a good temper... I'm afraid it's not always the case. I'm afraid it's another master of 'duplicity'.

Wei Lingci nodded, as a response.

Princess Pingnan felt as comfortable as a boulder sinking, her hands on her knees trembled faintly, her eyes were extremely gentle, she looked at Wei Lingci and said with a smile: "Since I have agreed to find a good day, the ceremony of apprenticeship is always necessary. Yes, Changqing wanted to go out of Beijing early in the morning to take a look, and just returned to Lingyun with you, and I hope you will take care of it in the future."

The author has something to say: People who eat melons every day: Young master, my mother and mother-in-law are really your god assists!

Xun Changqing: Aunt, you can't lie to me like this. I've kept it a secret for so long, and you exposed it as soon as we met.

Princess Pingnan was innocent, and comforted her: "I don't want you, if you don't tell me, you won't be able to marry a wife...

Good evening, okay, I'm here on time again
