Peach Blossom Song

The drizzle stopped for a while, and then it started again.

The King of Han felt chilly on his back, and the attendants waiting outside the forest held up umbrellas to protect His Royal Highness and the princess from the rain. There was wind on the mountain, and the wind blew light rain.

The little novice didn't know why, but this Tanyue was stunned, but before he came, the host told him that this is a distinguished guest, and he must not be neglected.The little novice stood aside helplessly, not daring to speak.

The king of Han stayed for a while, held the princess's wrist, and said, "Yes, I have seen it with my own eyes." There was clearly a thousand-year-old peach tree in the peach grove, and the host also said that it was here before the temple was built.

How could a thousand-year-old peach tree disappear out of thin air, and this little novice even said that it never existed. This is too bizarre.

The king of Han was shocked and panicked, and she grabbed the princess' wrist, eager to get her approval.

The princess said: "Your Highness has seen it with his own eyes, so it must be there."

The King of Han nodded again and again: "I won't even remember this wrong."

The little novice dared not speak any more.The King of Han suddenly remembered something, and asked him again: "When did the little master come to Guangping Temple?"

The little novice replied respectfully: "Back to Tanyue, the little monk was born in the world of mortals last year."

The King of Han immediately found the root of the strangeness, he was relieved, and his eyes lightened up: "No wonder you don't know, I came here three years ago." She compared her age with that of the young novice, and felt that she was older , and patted him on the shoulder like an adult, and comforted him, "You are still young, and you will inevitably neglect many things on weekdays, and I can't blame you. When you grow up, you won't be like this."

Little novice: "..." He didn't dare to refute her, "Tan Yue is right."

The King of Han smiled at him.

A wing room has been cleaned up in the temple for the King of Han and his concubine to have a rest.

When the king of Han and his concubine arrived, the vegetarian dishes had been prepared in the room, and the attendants also took out the dishes from the food boxes and put them on the food table.The King of Han was already hungry, and he also knew that the peach tree incident was not unusual. It was the little novice who entered the temple late. He didn't know the details, and his mood became much more open. He had lunch with the princess and cooked tea for drinking. .

The temple is poor, and there is no good tea, even if it is used to entertain guests, it is far less than the usual use in the palace.The king of Han didn't pick anything, he only asked the princess whether she was used to drinking or not, and the princess was quite content.

The window of the wing room is open, facing the courtyard in front of the door, the drizzle outside the window is still there, and it seems that there is a tendency to rain heavily. A plantain fan is planted under the wall, and the rainwater hits the plantain leaves, then slides down along the meridian, dripping into the soil .

Sandalwood was smoked in the wing room, and the faint sound of monks chanting sutras could be heard in the distance.

The king of Han sat beside the princess, looking sideways at her from time to time.After a while, she felt a little sleepy. She moved to the side of the princess and rubbed her eyes. Seeing this, the princess touched her head and wanted to get up and close the door and window.

Walking to the door, I saw the host walking slowly through the courtyard.

I don't know why the host came at this time.The King of Han got up helplessly, and muttered in a low voice, "I'm so sleepy."

The visitor is a guest, and he has borrowed a wing room in the temple. The King of Han will never reject the presiding officer.

The host was dressed in cassock and looked very elegant. He walked through the rain, and his clothes were stained with rain.He came here with nothing else to do, but to ask how the vegetarian food in the temple is, if it suits his appetite, and to show the friendship of the landlord.

Guangping Temple is different from Baima Temple in Beijing. There are no eminent monks sitting in the temple, no luxurious houses and beautiful rooms, no atmosphere of Baima Temple, but the tranquility and seclusion of a small temple in the mountains.

The same is true for the host, he just sat down for a while and greeted him a little bit, then got up and said goodbye, leaving the two Tanyues to rest.

Even though the king of Han was sleepy, he cheered up and sent him to court.

The host stood at the bottom of the steps and bowed to her, and was about to leave. The King of Han suddenly thought that since the little novice entered the temple late, he didn't know where the peach tree had gone, so the host must have known.

The King of Han hurriedly said: "Master, stop." She chased two steps forward and asked, "Master, does the peach tree in the peach forest with a thousand years of age disappear?"

The host was taken aback when he heard the words, then smiled lightly, clasped his hands together, recited the Buddha's name, and then looked at the King of Han with a smile and said: "The thousand-year-old peach tree should not be kept in one place forever?"

After finishing speaking, the host bowed and bowed, then turned and left.

The King of Han was stunned, and stood in the courtyard in a daze, unaware of the rain hitting him.

The concubine waited for her in the room for a long time, but she didn't come back, so she went out to look for her. As soon as Fang stepped out of the room, she saw the king of Han standing in the rain, motionless.

The princess hurriedly held up the umbrella and took her under the umbrella.

The King of Han trembled, and turned his head to look at the princess blankly. After watching for a while, the King of Han's eyes were watery, and he pursed his mouth and said, "A Yao, the host said that the tree should not always stay in one place."

This means that the peach tree left by itself...

Can a tree move by itself?

The king of Han became more and more frightened. She stood under the tree for a long time last time. At that time, did it see it?

The last time he was kidnapped by the monster pretending to be a scholar, the king of Han became more and more afraid of ghosts. At night, he seldom even went out, always afraid of encountering them again.

Although the concubine was right, the monster was probably caught by mistake, and it never came again, but the King of Han was still worried, what if another monster caught her by mistake again.

The King of Han was terrified. There were two bags of tears in his eyes, but they didn't flow down. He just wiped them away with his sleeves, and pressed his lips tightly. He was worried, but he tried his best to pretend to be calm.

The princess looked at her, didn't say anything, just took her hand and went indoors.

Being so frightened by the one she loves makes the concubine feel uncomfortable, but she also knows that human beings have different paths, His Highness is already afraid, and last time he was frightened by a fox and a green snake, fear is inevitable.

The king of Han's drowsiness had disappeared, but she still lay down, and said pitifully to the concubine, "I want to give you a hug."

The princess made her lie down in her arms.

The king of Han felt relieved when he was hugged by the princess, and said in a low voice: "Is the host trying to fool me?" There are so many monsters that no one else can meet, but she alone always meets them.

The princess caressed her back: "The host knows who you are, so how dare you lie?" What's more, he is still a monk, so he doesn't lie.

That's true... That peach tree bloomed so beautifully that she couldn't take her eyes off it, but it was a demon.The King of Han was both afraid and regretful. In the eyes of the world, monsters are always ferocious and terrifying, and they are also harmful.

The king of Han said again: "Maybe she is a peach blossom fairy." It's not a demon.

The concubine bent her lips, looked at the little man in her arms, and said stupid words sentence by sentence.If she is a fairy, how can she stay with her here? If she becomes a fairy, and can stay with her, how can she still be a demon.

It's better to be a monster and a monster than to be separated forever.

The princess said softly: "If you have become a fairy, you will not grow up in the world."

The King of Han was silent, so she could only be a demon, she felt a chill down her spine, she could not help but rubbed against the princess' arms, and stretched out her hand to hug her arm.

She is so dependent on her, but she doesn't know who she is.

The concubine took her into her arms and said softly, "Your Highness, there are good and bad people, and so are monsters. That peach tree may not want to harm Your Highness."

When the king of Han heard the word peach tree, he couldn't help but tremble, not daring to think about it.But the concubine is different, the King of Han will always listen to what she says.At this moment, even though she was afraid, she allowed herself to think seriously.

It has been said that monsters are by their nature to harm people, and there is no distinction between good and evil.But that peach tree didn't harm her, it just bloomed extraordinarily brilliantly, and its petals rose with the wind, and it was also extraordinarily beautiful. Other than that, it stood quietly like an ordinary tree, Bloom silently.

She stood under the tree for a long time without any discomfort, and there was nothing unusual after that.And here is a mountain temple, where the Buddha's light shines everywhere, if it doesn't have the heart to be good, how can it come here?

After thinking for a long time, King Han nodded and said sullenly, "Well, it's just very beautiful."

She still doesn't forget that the peach tree is beautiful, and she still talks about it.The princess couldn't help bending her lips, and continued: "In this way, Your Highness doesn't have to be afraid of her. Although she is a monster, she is no different from all living beings." The princess paused, closed her eyes, and said softly: "She is harmless to your heart. , but you are afraid of her, how sad she must be."

The king of Han was still afraid, but after hearing what the princess said, she couldn't bear to be afraid anymore.

Hanwang is soft-hearted and kind, she can't bear others to feel sad because of her.She tried her best to think about the elegance and splendor of that peach tree, nodded, and said seriously: "Then I won't be afraid of it. From now on, I'll only be afraid of bad monsters." She won't be afraid of good monsters.

It's good for her to think that way.As for the quality of a monster, how to distinguish it, she has to protect His Highness, and prevent her from being bullied by others, let alone being eaten by monsters.

The princess smiled, and said softly: "It's still early, does Your Highness want to sleep?"

The King of Han shook his head, she was no longer sleepy, so she wanted to stay in Wangfei's arms for a while longer.She also didn't want the peach tree anymore, as the princess said, it would not harm her, and it was no different from all living beings. To her, it was just a strange tree.

The king of Han was still a little afraid, but not so much.She thought of other things, and asked the concubine softly, "Ayao, is there anything you can't let go of in Beijing?"

After three years of marriage, the concubine seems to have very little concern, and even less contact with the Taichang mansion. Except for New Year's Day, when rituals are required, she seldom even meets each other.This is also reasonable, the King of Han is not surprised, but she is afraid of missing something, so she still asks, if there is something that the princess can't let go, after she returns to Beijing, she will do her best to do it for her.

After the king of Han finished speaking, he looked at the princess seriously.

The princess thought for a while and said, "There is only one thing, and that is Your Highness."
