?The sky is blue, the clouds are calm and the wind is breezy. Today is a grand day for the Wuzhi Dynasty.The palace was full of hustle and bustle, the maids were carrying clean clothes to the Zhaohe Hall, and the eunuchs were counting everything in the hall with their notebooks. Occasionally, they looked up at the sky, and when it was a little brighter, they hurriedly lowered their heads and continued to work.

In the Hall of Zhaohe, a man in front of the bronze mirror opened his arms, and asked the maid to put the scarlet plucked clothes on his body, and then helped him to fit the clothes.He stood upright, with a majestic appearance, and his expression was full of pride.

After waiting for so many years, it finally arrived—the third son of the □□ emperor, his coronation ceremony.

The man in blue standing beside him lowered his head slightly, only raised his eyes, thought he glanced at the resolute face of the third son of the emperor, and then lowered his head in panic.A sense of melancholy suddenly spread in his heart. He didn't know why this feeling came from, but it had already made him uncertain about the future, so he could only comfort himself secretly——

Probably too much worry.

The third prince saw his worries through the bronze mirror, so he withdrew his hands and ordered a few maidservants to retreat first.After all the irrelevant people left, a tender smile appeared on his face: "Pu'er, what's the matter?"

"I..." The man in blue opened and closed his mouth, and suddenly remembered the person in front of him when he was a child. The original youthfulness was gone, and they all grew up and taller in the long years. Fortunately, the outline was still familiar to him. He smiled relievedly, "No, Huai Jun, are you nervous?"

He walked up to Huai Jun and tidied up his messy clothes. The next moment, he was pulled into a warm embrace, and his left ear was wrapped in warm breath, making it a little numb.

"Don't be nervous, with you by my side, I'm not nervous about anything." Huai Jun hugged Chen Pu tightly, and the two hugged each other peacefully like this, as if they were going to hug each other forever.

Suddenly, several knocks on the door broke the tranquility at this moment, and a sharp voice came in: "Third Prince, the auspicious time is almost here."

Huai Jun and Chen Pu hurriedly pushed each other away, but smiled at each other. They both knew such a secret.Chen Pu straightened Huai Jun's clothes again, and whispered in his ear, "Go, I'll wait for you to come back."

"It's okay, you follow me." After saying that, Huai Jun took Chen Pu's hand, and then pushed open the bedroom door.

As soon as the door opened, Chen Pu shook off Huai Jun's hand and followed him closely.However, a group of palace maids and eunuchs surrounded Huai Jun, and as they walked, they separated them, far away.Huai Jun walked forward against the sun, while Chen Pu stood under the sun, the bad premonition shrouded in the sun again.

At that time, he squinted at the sun in the sky, and suddenly realized that no matter how warm the sun was, it could not block the glare of the light, which made him panic. Suddenly, he lost the courage to keep up with Huai Jun's pace.

The hall was full of princes and ministers. They were all waiting for Huai Jun's arrival, but they were all waiting to see what kind of posture the third son of the emperor would enter the court and what he would do in the future.From time to time, they looked at Wang Wang Wu Nuoxu, who was full of smiles, and the empty seat next to him - that was the seat of Art King Wu Yongting, but he didn't come today due to illness.

Whether it is a real illness or a fake illness, everyone is guessing in their hearts, but in front of the emperor on the dragon chair, their mouths are all closed.

The auspicious time is approaching, Huai Jun stepped into the hall surrounded by a group of eunuchs, his resolute face is different from Nuo Xu's handsome, but it is somewhat similar to the young Shengshang, but his eyes are deeper than when the Shengshang was young too much.

When he came to the steps, all the eunuchs scattered to the left and right, only he stood in front of the emperor, but looked down at the ministers.He held his head high, his eyes sparkled, and his appearance was extraordinary. It seemed that this was the inborn nobility of the royal family. The officials bowed their heads and listened to orders, and it was not surprising.

"This is an auspicious day, crowned as an adult. Filial friends in Ketun, blessings come to parallel." The congratulatory words echoed in the palace, and the Taifu took the clothes held by the surrounding maids, and folded the upper scarf first.

"Crown the ceremony as much as possible, and the guest becomes a virtue. Respect and solemnity are the principles of protecting the people." Plus travel far away to crown the eighteen beams.

"Crown up to Sanjia, order to wear badges. In the matter of worshiping the gods, the state will be established forever." Sanjiagun was crowned, and the third son of the emperor, Huai Jun, was named King Yu.

Huai Jun first bowed to the sage, then turned to face the ministers, all the ministers raised their voices to congratulate King Yu.The crowning ceremony ended simply and solemnly, and Huai Jun turned to look at the Holy One again.

The Holy Majesty nodded to him and said to him: "Go." Then he winked at Eunuch Li next to him, and Eunuch Li said on his behalf: "The palace banquet will be held tomorrow night, and all the Qing families will retire first."

The ministers were full of doubts. There used to be a palace banquet on the night of the crown ceremony. Why is it different today?But their mouths were still tight, and after thanking the Holy Grace, they withdrew from the temple without saying much.

Only the Holy One and Nuo Xu were left in the hall. He stared at Nuo Xu with soft eyes, "Xu'er, Ting'er must come to the palace banquet tomorrow night."

"Yes, Royal Father." Nuo Xu replied cautiously.

Huai Jun didn't see Chen Pu after he left the main hall, and there was a vague sense of panic, prompting him to hurry back to Zhaohe Hall.When he heard the familiar flute sound outside the Hall of Showa, the panic dissipated and was replaced by a self-deprecating smile—what was the panic?

He followed the sound of the flute to the magnolia tree, quietly walked behind the blue-clothed figure, stretched out his hand, and hugged him tightly.

Chen Pu was obviously taken aback. He quickly put down the flute in his hand, looked back, and was relieved when he saw Huai Jun. He smiled at him, and half reproachfully said, "What are you playing? You scared me."

"Silly Pu'er." Huai Jun kissed him on the cheek affectionately, and said softly, "Changing clothes for me, let's go to Yongning Temple."

As soon as he heard about the past Yongning Temple, Chen Pu raised the corners of his mouth and said "that's great".He hastily changed Huai Jun into a plain gray suit, brought some silver, and left the palace with him.They passed through the noisy market, walked all the way west, and immediately entered a quiet place.

The temple is so quiet that the sound of the wind can be heard, and there are a few cicadas chirping in the wind, occasionally mixed with the sound of "du-du-" wooden fish, coupled with the green trees, it is extraordinarily comfortable and worry-free.

"Go, Empress Jun must miss you." Chen Pu smiled brightly at Huai Jun, and said, "I'll wait for you in Jingxin Lake."

Huai Jun squeezed his hand and said in a low voice, "I'll look for you later."

After the two parted, Chen Pu went to Jingxin Lake alone.The name of Jingxin Lake was changed well, and the scenery was even better, which made Chen Pu fall in love with this place.A few willows were planted on both sides of the lake. It was spring, and the willow branches drooped, causing ripples when they touched the lake.

Chen Pu sat down against the willow tree, took out the flute from his bosom, and put it to his lips, a piece of flute softly spilled from his lips, and immediately spread to half of Yongning Temple, where people kneeling in front of the Buddha, chanting scriptures and knocking on wooden fish in the small Buddhist hall The woman in clothes turned her head immediately.

——Chen Pu played the flute, so Huai Jun also came.

Sure enough, as soon as she turned her head, she saw Huai Jun standing quietly behind her, with a gentle smile on his face, but his eyes were less deep and more respectful.Huai Jun stepped forward to support Concubine Jun, and followed her to sit on the wooden chair beside her.

As soon as she sat down, she lightly scolded: "Jun'er, how can you leave the palace on this big day?"

"It's just this day." Huai Jun lowered his eyes and said with a wry smile, "The empress should see that the child has grown up."

"Oh, you,' Concubine Jun sighed, she couldn't say anything to blame, she could only say: "Etiquette must be observed, even though Mingjing is in the Buddhist hall, I am happy for you, Jun'er. "

Hearing Concubine Jun's claim, Huai Jun felt even more uncomfortable, as if she had whipped her personally, but still raised his lips reluctantly, and said bitterly: "Father emperor approved my coming, he asked me to come and see the queen mother. "

"He," Concubine Jun paused, and then calmed down her heart that had been fluctuating with difficulty in the past few years: "Is he alright?"

"He is good, but his body is a lot weaker."

Huai Jun knew that Concubine Jun still cared about the Holy Majesty, but as a son, he didn't seem to care about his father.He had a difficult knot in his heart - he blamed his father for Concubine Jun's departure from Yongning Temple, regardless of the reason, only because the Holy Majesty never took Concubine Jun back to the palace from the beginning to the end.

His eyes kept wandering, and finally landed on the Buddha statue in the Buddhist hall.As if being led, he walked up to the Buddha, knelt down respectfully, clasped his hands together, and sincerely made the wish he wanted - Lord Buddha, please let me accomplish this great cause.Then, he kowtowed three heads.

Looking at his actions, Concubine Jun couldn't help but feel a little distressed, what else could the third son of the emperor ask for?

She stepped forward, helped him up, and asked, "What do you want?"

Huai Jun's gaze still stayed on the golden Buddha statue, and Chen Pu's whistle came to his ears, arousing a strange feeling in him, as if sin was about to entangle him, and the benevolent eyes of the Buddha statue were telling him to let go of the worries in his heart. obsession.But with his sharp eyes, he looked directly into the eyes of the Buddha statue, and secretly said: "The emperor is the most ruthless. If he really knows everything, he shouldn't ask me to reincarnate to the emperor."

The desire in my heart is getting bigger and bigger, enough to cover up all the guilt.

He said: "I want to be emperor." Looking at Concubine Jun again, he softened his voice: "I want to take my mother back to the palace."

Concubine Jun's head was blown to pieces by this sentence, and it was blank, only this sentence remained.Afterwards, endless things spread out in this sentence.That's what he said back then. Back then, he chose to marry her for the sake of the throne and make her his queen. At that time, people congratulated her. Who would have expected that she would give up everything in the end and embark on the path of Buddhism?

She closed her eyes, and she still remembered the firmness when he said he loved her, but it was deeper than the no regrets when he talked about the person he loved the most.

Her heart ached, she raised her hand and pressed her chest hard, uttering these words forcefully: "Jun'er, I can't ask for that position."

"Why?" Huai Jun looked at Concubine Jun in confusion.

Concubine Jun just said more decisively: "Mingjing will not return to the palace, after three months, Mingjing will lose her hair and devote herself to Buddhism."

"Having lost your hair?" Huai Jun was surprised at first, but the next moment his rationality was overwhelmed by the surging anger: "Why? Why! Queen Mother, what you do is like abandoning the child again!"

"Jun'er, let's go." Concubine Jun turned her head away, and then heard a loud noise. When she turned her head again, Huai Jun had already left. full of tears.

Huai Jun ran forward all the way, his fists clenched tighter and tighter, his five fingers sunk deeply in his palm, maintaining the only sliver of reason, before the slivers of reason were broken, he ran to Jingxin Lake and embraced the blue-clothed figure. Let the tears collapse along with reason, and wet Chen Pu's shoulders.

Chen Pu was so startled that he immediately put Xiao down, and hearing Huai Jun choked up, he only dared to ask softly, "Brother Jun, what's wrong?"

"Pu'er, what to do, what to do, the queen mother is going to lose her hair, she doesn't want me anymore, what should I... what should I do?" Huai Jun's eyes were blurred, and his voice revealed a very weak voice.

"It's okay, it's okay, isn't there me?" Chen Pu held his hand and said at a loss.

"But I don't have a mother anymore. I'm gone. Did she lose her hair because she didn't want me?" Huai Jun cried, flustered like a child, and as painful as back then.

"I don't have a mother either, but I have you!" Chen Pu tightened his hands and comforted me one after another: "You still have me, you still have me..."

The sky was dim, and Huai Jun finally calmed down, and was calmed down by Chen Pu's promises one after another.He sat by the lake with Chen Pu, and Chen Pu teased him: "Look at you, such a big person is still crying like this. Are you ashamed?"

"What's wrong?" Huai Jun rubbed Chen Pu's hair with red eyes: "How dare you despise me?"

"I just dislike you." Chen Pu lowered his head and smiled secretly, and the next moment Huai Jun hugged him forcefully.

"You can't be disgusted, but you can't be disgusted."?
