The cockcrow has been heard for several times, but the sky is still quiet. The darkness is not gone, and the people are still in the future.
The sudden sound of ignition broke the silence in the darkness, revealing the figure of a graceful and graceful girl. Under the dim and diffuse light, she was fully dressed and washed, and sat down next to the tea table in the room.
The red candle was only two feet away, and her description was illuminated more clearly: without any pink and white, it was better than clear water and hibiscus; the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, pulling out a shallow smile; her eyes were affectionate, as if the whole world was placed in them. love.
"The Buddha said, 'Sorrow arises out of love, and fear arises out of love'. Do you not know that 'joy comes out of love, and hope comes out of love'? He also said, 'If you are separated from the one you love, there will be no worries and no fears.' However, If you can't live without love, you can't live with joy, and you can't live with hope, what's the fun of life? If a monk wants to cultivate the purity of the six roots, love is a burden. Naturally, he regards it as a scourge and wants to throw it away. I don't want to be a nun. What kind of Zen mind should I cultivate?" Yi Qingxin dragged her chin with her hands, thinking in confusion.
"It's just that he has already been engaged to the princess of the palace. We have a close relationship after all." Thinking of this, she felt irritated and irritable, and felt unspeakably uncomfortable in her heart. "Worry arises out of love, fear arises out of love." It's definitely not false. I just can't worry or be afraid at this moment. Qingxin, what should you do?"
"Speaking of a shallow relationship, why did I decide to forget him and go with him again? Besides...there was such a big problem in Prince Jaw's palace, and his marriage to the princess might not be possible. "Yesterday, when Mei Yuanchen came to see Yi Qilin and Yun Xiaomeng, she had already told them that she was going to Lidu to welcome Xia Muchao's coffin. Only then did she know that King Jaw had passed away. According to the filial piety ritual, his children must either get married within the month of burial, or they must observe filial piety for three years before they can get married.
"Bah! Bah! Bah! How could I have such evil thoughts?" Yi Qingxin cursed to herself in shame, "The country is in dire straits right now, not to mention that King Jaw is his adoptive father, because he is famous all over the world." King Dahuazhi, I should never think like this!"
Yi Qingxin changed from holding her head with both hands to holding her head with her right hand. She frowned slightly and murmured softly: "Humph, it would be great if he also has feelings for me. If it's just my wishful thinking, I... I won't even become a nun." Go and pester him, a girl from the Yi family should be proud!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Three knocks on the door suddenly sounded.
There is nothing better than being distracted. Yi Qingxin seemed to be completely absorbed in it. The knocking sound lasted for several breaths, but she had no intention of leaving her seat and closing the door.
"Dong! Dong! Dong! Qingxin, aren't you up already? Why don't you open the door?" Yun Xiaomeng saw that the door had not been opened for a long time, so he knocked three more times, and then asked.
These three knocks on the door were much louder than the previous three. Yi Qingxin came to her senses after hearing the sound. After listening to Yun Xiaomeng's words again, she realized that she had lost her composure, so she hurriedly stood up, walked over, and opened the door. He opened the door and said embarrassedly: "Sister Yun, why did you get up so early? Please come in!"
... ...
"Come in!" Mei Yuanchen opened the door and let Xia Chengxuan enter the room.
There was a bag on the desk, which contained the necessary things that Mei Yuanchen had brought to and from the coffin for more than half a month. Bailisi and Haitang were not around, and Xia Chengyi was in grief. He did all the packing and packing by himself.
"Is everything ready?" Xia Chengxuan looked at the baggage on the table and asked.
"Everything is taken care of." Mei Yuanchen returned softly.
Both of them were standing, with no intention of sitting down for a moment, and they seemed to have no interest in talking.
After a long time, Xia Chengxuan asked, "When are you leaving?"
"Leave now." Mei Yuanchen replied.
"Be careful on the road!" Xia Chengxuan gently patted Mei Yuanchen's arm and said, "Go early and come back early!"
... ...
"Are you early? How could it be as early as you? I woke up by following the light in your room." Yun Xiaomeng said angrily, "I slept so late last night and got up again before dawn!"
Yi Qingxin lowered her head and replied with a bitter smile: "I can't sleep, I don't feel sleepy at all, and I'm lying around. It's better to get up earlier."
Which girl at the age of dancing spoon doesn’t like to sleep? In the past, Yi Qingxin got up late in the whole semicolon. Yun Xiaomeng had been with her for a long time. He knew that she had fallen in love and was in a romantic mood. Mei Yuanchen had just been here during the day, so he could have guessed.
"You little girl, you can't be so happy that you can't even sleep!" Yun Xiaomeng said teasingly, "Look at your face... ugh."
"What's wrong? What's wrong with my face?" Yi Qingxin didn't understand it at first, but she realized it later and asked hurriedly, "Sister Yun, is it obvious on my face? Can you see it? This...this It won’t work!”
Yun Xiaomeng looked at her with pity and worry. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to caress her face and said softly: "Qingxin, do you really like him so much? Master Tianye said, 'All love encounters are impermanent. "There are so many fears in this life, and your life is in danger of the morning dew.' You should know that you and he are just afraid that good things will not come easily! My dear sister, I am really worried that you will fall into it, find it difficult to control yourself, and eventually be trapped by it!"
Although there are no palace rules in Suxin Palace that stipulate that palace owners are not allowed to marry, no palace owner has ever married or given birth to a child in hundreds of years. All previous palace owners of Suxin Palace must practice the secret Suxin Kung Fu of their own sect. Su Xin Gong is an extremely yin internal skill and mental method. It is very simple to get started. However, in order to practice it to perfection, you must give up love, keep your heart clear and pure, and abandon lust. Once you feel restless, you may become possessed. And once you are contaminated with the joy of fish and water, your skills will be impure and your strength will be greatly damaged.
Yun Xiaomeng has been with her master and master since she was a child. Before she became an adult, she only interacted with women. After taking charge of Suxin Palace, who among the men in the world does not respect her? Therefore, although she was nearly thirty years old, she had never been involved in love affairs between men and women. She wanted to persuade Yi Qingxin but was at a loss for words.
"Senior Yi is here." Yi Qingxin was thinking about something with her head lowered when she suddenly heard Yun Xiaomeng say with a smile, "I'm probably here to rush you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yi Qilin's voice came from outside the door: "Qingxin, are you ready? Yuanchen is already waiting in the front hall, but don't keep people waiting for too long."
"Senior Yi, we will be out soon!" Yun Xiaomeng responded outside the house.
... ...
The master on night duty at the escort agency got Yi Qilin's instructions and lit the lantern at the door at the last moment of Yinshi and waited in the front hall for Mei Yuanchen to call the door. The capital city gate opens at the end of Mao hour, but the distance between Yufeng Escort Bureau and the city gate is only forty miles, and it only takes half an hour to ride a horse.
When Yi Qingxin went to the front hall, Mei Yuanchen was sitting in the second seat, chatting with Yi Qilin.
"Palace Master Yun, Miss Yi." Seeing the two girls walking over carrying their bags, Mei Yuanchen hurriedly left his seat and stood up, holding hands in greeting.
After some greetings, everyone took their seats. Yi Qilin and Yun Xiaomeng were discussing the itinerary. Mei Yuanchen felt sad and could only look at the two, no, three of them with a forced smile. When he looked at Yi Qingxin, he found that she was sizing him up. As soon as their eyes met, they both hurriedly ran away.
The dining hall is connected to the right side of the front hall. Several people were chatting when an old woman came up and reported: "Master, breakfast is ready."
At dawn, the four of them were leaving for the west of the city, and they had to fill their stomachs before leaving. A few old ladies in the kitchen started the stove early. In addition to making breakfast for them, they also made a lot of cakes and cooked meat.
"Let's go eat something first and then hit the road!" Yi Qilin said to the three people in the hall.
