Wei Shuning woke up early in the morning and felt uneasy, suddenly heard the faint ringing of the bell, and hurriedly asked Fan'er to go out to inquire.

It took a long time for Fan'er to come back and report: "Your Majesty, Master Liaochen from Huguo Temple has passed away."

"Master Liaochen?" Wei Shuning thought for a while, then sighed, "I vaguely heard that he is an eminent monk."

"Your Majesty, it's fine if you think about it, but don't bother to copy Buddhist scriptures."

Wei Shuning frowned slightly: "I don't know Master Chen, I just sighed with emotion. But for some reason, listening to the bell, I always feel panicked."

Fan'er smiled and comforted: "Your Majesty, you just love to worry. If that's the case, you might as well worry about the princess's marriage."

As soon as Chang Le stepped into the hall, he heard Fan'er talking, and said with a sneer: "I said why the mother has been so caring recently, it turns out that Sister Shan'er is behind her back."

Fan'er hastily patted his mouth: "This slave must be damned."

Seeing Chang Le, Wei Shuning barely felt a lot better in his heart, smiled and took Chang Le's hand to let her sit beside him, nodded her delicate nose and said with a smile: "Why, don't you think your mother is talking too much?"

Chang Le hugged Wei Shuning's arm and said with a smile, "How can that be?"

Fan'er said with a hurt face: "Princess, this is a special run on slaves, and slaves are in vain to go to Xuanming Hall early in the morning to inquire."

Wei Shuning looked at her with a smile: "Your mouth is getting more and more powerful, tell me what you heard."

Speaking of this, Fan'er was rather annoyed, she said: "It's not that Concubine Cui, I don't know what kind of tongue-twisting she was in front of the emperor, the emperor let the person chosen by the empress down. Listen to the words of the father-in-law, It seems that the emperor wants to personally choose a consort for the princess. I want my servants to see that the emperor has been drugged by Concubine Cui, and the empress is still there. When will it be her turn to speak about the princess's marriage?"

She glanced at Wei Shuning's cold face, gritted her teeth, and said, "I heard from the little maid below that Concubine Cui Guifei deliberately told the princess to her nephew, what a big face! Madam, we must not let this matter happen." .”

Wei Shuning's hand holding Chang Le became tighter, she said solemnly: "No matter who is involved in this matter, I will never give in."

Chang Le also suppressed her smile slightly, and said seriously to Wei Shuning: "Mother, but Chang Le is a princess."

Wei Shuning turned to look at her, and asked a little nervously: "What does Changle mean by that?"

Chang Le lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes cast a shadow on her eyelids. She said softly: "Chang Le is a princess, born with dignity, and born with responsibility. Father is busy with state affairs all day long, and grandfather and uncle are still on the battlefield and cannot go home. , the queen mother is dragging her illness and still manages the harem, and solves the father's worries and problems. The current situation of the Qi country is not good. Changle has enjoyed the glory and blessing of a princess, so naturally she has to bear the responsibility of a princess of a country. "

"Although Changle is a weak girl, she also knows that the country's affairs are the most important. There are three possibilities for my father to choose a son-in-law for me. One is to marry another country and make peace with him to ease the border deadlock. Balance the court or appease the hearts of the ministers. The third..."

Chang Le paused, raised his head and said with a smile: "Thirdly, the father, like the queen mother, purely hopes that Chang Le can be happy. He will choose someone Chang Le likes to be his son-in-law."

Wei Shuning's heart was sore and astringent, she choked up, and forced a smile: "Who told you the first two points?"

Chang Le said: "No one told me, Chang Le thought of it himself. Throughout the dynasties and dynasties, the role of the princess is nothing more than this."

Fan Er anxiously said: "Princess, with the Hou's mansion and the empress here, you don't have to take such a road at all. The empress is worried about your marriage, and only hopes that the princess will live well. The princess can't think left, it hurts the empress's heart." ah."

Chang Le met Wei Shuning's gentle gaze, and his eyes were slightly red: "Actually, Chang Le understands that the relationship between the father and the mother is not what it used to be, and the father and the grandfather's family have also involved many interests. The father will not agree to the mother's choice of the queen." Even if those families agree, my grandfather and queen mother will pay a heavy price for it."

"Besides, Changle lives in a deep palace, rarely sees outsiders, and there is no man who is happy in his heart. In this case, who is married is not married, and the life is lived by oneself, so it may not be bad. Anyway. , Changle is also the daughter of the father, Changle believes that the father will not harm the daughter."

Now that the words are out of the way, Wei Shuning also knows that her daughter looks calm and gentle on the outside, but in fact, her temperament is most like that of the Wei family, very stubborn.Since she has thought so much, she must have thought it through carefully.Moreover, having said that, no matter what problems there are between her and Li Huai, he still feels bad for Chang Le.

She also understands that her health has been getting worse recently, and Changle doesn't want to worry about her affairs.

Wei Shuning stroked Chang Le's black and smooth hair, and sighed: "My Chang Le has been sensible since she was a child, but the more sensible she is, the harder her life will be."

……

Wuji sat cross-legged on the couch, with a picture book on his lap.There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he looked at it leisurely.Every page is the same little boy, sitting or lying down, laughing or making noise, sleeping soundly or reading, vividly.

Watching and watching, Wuji's gaze gradually became deeper and deeper, and the voice and appearance of the little person in the album gradually coincided with that person, and his thoughts were also pulled back to a long time ago.

He likes to travel around, and the master said that this is also a kind of practice.After three years, he thought he had realized something, so he embarked on the road back to Beijing with confidence.

On that day, the city of Shengjing was particularly lively, with red make-up everywhere, and joy everywhere, and many people watching the excitement surrounded the streets.In front of the wedding sedan chair, the servants dressed in festive clothes spoke auspicious words and kept throwing out wedding candies.The common people who grabbed the wedding candy also arched their hands and smiled to congratulate them. The lively children on the street even ran with the boys. After grabbing the candy, they turned back and ran to the wedding sedan chair, as if they didn’t want money if they said nice things about the wedding sedan chair. Take it out.

Wu Ji was carried forward by the crowd, and somehow got squeezed to the front.Seeing that the candy-distributing boy was such a beautiful monk, he quickly stuffed him with a handful of candies, and said with a smile: "My old lady and the eldest lady both believe in Buddhism. Today is the eldest lady's big day. Please, my little master." Would you like to say an auspicious word?"

It was the first time Wuji encountered this matter, so he was about to reject it, but the people watching the fun had already followed suit, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet.

Put your hands together and say a Buddha's name.After thinking about it, he didn't know what to say, after all, he had never seen this lady before, let alone which family's lady it was.After listening to Xi Niang's words for a few times, he smiled and said: "Then I wish your lady and uncle a happy marriage for a hundred years, and the zither and zither sing in harmony."

The servant smiled and narrowed his eyes, and hurriedly asked: "Which monastery does my little master belong to?"

Wuji said: "Huguo Temple."

The young man was overjoyed when he heard this: "That's a coincidence, my old lady and the eldest lady often go to the Huguo Temple to pay respects to the Buddha, dare to ask the little master's Dharma name? Turn around and tell the eldest lady to go, and the eldest lady must go to the temple to pay back the vows." .”

Wuji raised his palm with one hand, and said with a smile, "My little monk, Wuji."

While speaking, the wedding sedan chair was approaching, and Wuji looked up, only to see a shadowy figure in the red gauze curtain.I don't know if it was an illusion, but the woman in the sedan chair turned her head to look at him.

He followed the wedding sedan chair and walked forward under the pushing and pushing of the crowd until the gate of the palace.Under the guidance of Xi Niang, a young man in a red dress greeted the bride in the wedding sedan chair.The red gauze hijab was lifted by the wind, and Wu Ji saw the bride's face at a glance.

is her!The woman who was rescued by him on the edge of the cliff.

My heart beat violently, and an unprecedented feeling filled my heart.

It was late at night when we returned to Huguo Temple, and Master Liaochen had been waiting for him.Wuji reluctantly retracted his mind, and told his master some things he had seen and heard on the road.

Liao Chen half-closed his eyes and asked him, "Did you come back to Beijing today to welcome your relatives?"

Wuji said yes, and asked again: "How does Master know?"

Liao Chen said with a smile: "The house where the daughter is married is Zhen Guohou's Mansion, and the entire Shengjing City knows it. Yesterday, people from the Hou Mansion came to the temple to worship the Buddha, and they wanted peace and happiness."

He looked at Wuji with deep eyes, and sighed for a while: "Has Wuji ever thought about pursuing his own life experience?"

Wuji thought for a while, and said: "Since Wuji has entered the door of Buddhism, the six sense organs should be pure, and one's heart should be dedicated to the Buddha."

Liao Chen said: "If you can think so, Master will feel at ease, otherwise..." He shook his head, hesitant to speak.

Wuji only felt that there was something in the master's words, and today he was upset and couldn't restrain his emotions, so he blurted out and asked: "What does the master mean by this, is there any explanation for Wuji's life experience?"

Liaochen looked at him for a while, then said, "You want to know?"

Wuji hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Master has taken care of Wuji for more than [-] years, and he has never mentioned this matter before. He suddenly mentioned it today, presumably there are many things involved in Wuji's life experience. If this is the case, naturally you need to know something , so as not to cause any troubles that should not be caused in the future."

Liao Chen gave him a meaningful look: "It's nothing troublesome, but I was entrusted by someone, and I feel that I should tell you. Do you know who Miss Wei is getting married today?"

Wuji asked blankly: "Isn't it the lady of the Zhen Guohou's family?"

Liao Chen said: "Yes, she is. But she is also your fiancée."

Wuji was like a lightning strike, he didn't recover from it for a long time, he asked Chen: "Then who am I?"

Liao Chen cast his eyes on the purple bamboo forest outside the window, and said quietly: "The son of Lord Qi, Li Che."

Wuji's hands trembled a little, and he asked Chen with the last sliver of rationality: "How does Master know my identity? Who entrusted me?"

Liao Chen smiled and said, "You are very alert. I will not hide it from you. I already knew your identity when I rescued you. Han Qing, the general guarding Shuozhou, is your uncle."

Wuji's eyes widened: "Why did you tell me this, what do you want me to do?"

Liao Chen said: "It's up to you whether you do it or not. I'm just telling you the story, telling you that there was something strange about Duke Qi's death back then, and telling you how your orphans and widowed mothers stayed in Shengjing, and how they were plotted against. Otherwise How do you think you ended up in Huguo Temple?"

Wuji was stunned for a long time, and suddenly asked Chen: "Master and my family are old?"

Liao Chen smiled and said, "Maybe there is."

At that time, Wuji was so upset that he didn't think about the matter carefully.It wasn't until he went to Shuozhou alone to find his uncle Han Qing that he realized that he had already entered the game.Not only that, he also brought his uncle into the game.
