Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 231 Concubine
There are no worthless people under the famous name.Concubine Yang Gui is indeed very beautiful.

Li Lijun has experienced so many worlds, met many beauties, all kinds of temperament, charming, delicate, dignified, lively, bookish, charming, heroic, fairy-like... She asked herself that she was well-informed, but when she saw the imperial concubine today, she still had to sigh at her beauty.This kind of beauty is unique to the Tang Dynasty. It is graceful, luxurious, bright and fresh, just like a peony flower of national beauty and heavenly fragrance, blooming brilliantly under the bright sun.

Li Lijun saw her, and the speed of meeting her was a bit slower than usual.

The imperial concubine was probably used to this kind of thing, with a faint smile on her face, she said softly: "Get up quickly, there is no need to be polite." When Li Lijun got up, she waved again, "Come and sit next to me, let's have a good talk .”

Li Lijun paused, but still walked over and sat down, allowing the imperial concubine to look at her, and took the opportunity to take a good look at her.

The imperial concubine is about 33 or [-] years old, and she is at her most beautiful right now, she is graceful and charming, and her every frown and smile can touch people's heartstrings.Although she is wearing jewelry and costumes, all of these are the foil of her beauty, which is easy to be overlooked.It's just that she has been favored for many years, and she should be confident and cheerful, but for some reason, there is a faint gloomy look between her brows.

It was the first time for Li Lijun to see the imperial concubine at such a close distance, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart, the gloomy look on the brow of the other party, I don't know if it was because of his original appearance, or did he encounter some unhappy things?She just used the drone to see the imperial concubine dancing for the emperor, she seemed very happy at that time...

The imperial concubine looked at it for a long time before she spoke: "Your name is Li Niang, isn't it? You are nine years old this year? Why are you so tall, but your figure looks thin?"

Li Lijun blinked and replied: "As for the imperial concubine, my name is Li Lijun. The elders in the family call me Li Niang. I will be nine years old on the Double Ninth Festival this year."

She didn't mention her figure, because she only started to grow rapidly in the last six months. Although she is a vegetarian, she does not take supplements in private. Naturally, she grows fast, and it doesn't matter if she looks thinner for a while. Her strength is not small .

The imperial concubine seemed to be worried about her: "But you have a bad appetite? I heard that you were sent to live in the countryside to guard the grave of your late mother? How are you doing in the countryside?"

Li Lijun introduced the distance from his mother's cemetery to the Saga Mountain Bieye where he lived, and said: "The mountain is quiet, and I have loyal and reliable attendants to serve me. I actually live very well. I am the only living relative of my mother. Please accompany me more. Accompanying her is also my filial piety, and I don't feel that there is any grievance. The imperial concubine does not have to listen to rumors from outsiders, thinking that someone forced me to leave, I voluntarily went to Sanyuan to observe my filial piety."

The noble concubine smiled: "So that's how it is. There are many rumors out there that are unbelievable. Since you are willing to live in the mountains, then go ahead and come back when you are willing to return to Chang'an. Don't pay attention to those gossips, but whoever is a sensible person will Do you believe that nonsense?"

In other words, people who believe in nonsense and gossip are not sensible people!With the words of the noble concubine, who else in the Yang family would dare to chew Li Lijun's tongue again?
Li Lijun pursed his lips and lowered his head to smile, thanking the imperial concubine for her words.

The imperial concubine was a little curious: "The Saga Mountain where you live, the name sounds very interesting. What kind of place is it?"

Li Lijun gave her a general description of the mountain shape of Saga Mountain, the scenery on the mountain and the scenery below, and mentioned that she would occasionally walk to her mother's cemetery to pay homage. The green mountain scenery she saw along the way, and small animals would appear in the forest from time to time. The imperial concubine was yearning for it: "It's so good...Occasionally, I also want to walk in the mountains and forests by myself, listening to the sound of the wind blowing through the treetops..."

Li Lijun poured cold water on her a little: "You can do this when the weather is good, but if the weather is bad, you can only stay indoors. It was late autumn when I went there, and it was difficult to go out in winter. snow."

The imperial concubine was a little curious: "What do you do when you can't go out?"

Then there are many things to do.Of course Li Lijun would not truthfully say that he was practicing, so he mentioned a few things he used to do when he lived in the Sui Palace: "Reading, writing, practicing painting, and occasionally copying scriptures."

The noble concubine remembered: "I heard Princess Sui said that your Buddha statues are very well painted, and the king of Sui even praised you, saying that you have Buddha nature."

In this regard, Li Lijun can only express that he is not a devout Buddhist: "Aniang believed in Buddhism when she was alive, so I went to worship Buddha and copy scriptures, thinking that I also believed. But after Aniang died, there were many things I I can’t even figure it out. I asked the monks in the temple, and they said that if my mother suffers in this life, she will be able to enjoy blessings in the next life. But I can’t see my mother’s next life. I don’t know if she can really enjoy blessings. Why? Why can't my mother enjoy happiness in this life? Obviously she is a kind and honest person, and has never hurt anyone. I can't figure this out no matter how I think about it. Slowly, I changed my mind. Instead of cultivating an afterlife that I don't know , I might as well just concentrate on self-cultivation. All the grievances and hatreds are for this life, and there is no need to drag them to the next life."

It's not a lie, it's just that she's not in this world to ask the monk and Gai's thoughts, but what does that matter?Anyway, it's what she experienced.

The imperial concubine felt a little sad, but she actually knew how the Chen family died: "Life is alive, and there will always be many things that people can't figure out. If you keep thinking about it, it will only make you suffer. Instead of worrying about it, you can It’s better to leave it behind, don’t think about it, and avoid getting into a dead end.”

"Who is on the edge?" A female voice sounded from outside the door, Li Lijun turned his head to look, and saw a beautiful lady walking in with a smile on her face. Her appearance was somewhat similar to that of a concubine, but she was slightly less beautiful.Looking at the moonlight white shirt with large sleeves on the other person, she guessed that this person was probably Mrs. Guo Guo.

Seeing Mrs. Guo Guo coming in, the expression on the imperial concubine's face returned to calm, and she nodded to the other party with a slight smile: "Third sister is here?"

Mrs. Guo Guo came to sit down next to the noble concubine with a smile, and without looking at Li Lijun, she asked her sister directly: "Why didn't you go to rest for a while? Are you not tired after tossing for a long time? I will go back to the palace in a while. To complain that you don't want to talk to him anymore!"

"I can't sleep." The imperial concubine answered three words so simply, then turned to look at Li Lijun, "I asked Li Niang to come over while I was free. Third sister, is this child born very pleasant? I Looking at it, I feel that the face is kind, as if I have seen it somewhere."

Mrs. Guo Guo was not willing to give Li Lijun a serious look until this time: "Where is it? I look very natural. But she is the daughter of the sage's grand-nephew, and it is probably because her eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to which emperor's grandson, you will Do you feel kind?"

The imperial concubine smiled and said to Li Lijun: "This is my third sister, have you seen her before?"

Then Li Lijun got up and bowed to Madam Guo Guo: "It's the first time I see Madam, but I saw Madam's car passing by several times in the street."

"Really?" Mrs. Guo Guo smiled, "I am very familiar with you, Aye, and your wives and concubines, such as Da Yang, Xiao Yang, and Yang Shiliuniang, but I am not very familiar with them. Your mother, I remember that she seems to be a kind person, with a good temperament and character, but her vision of picking a husband is very ordinary."

The smile on Li Lijun's face remained unchanged.The scumbag is too scumbag, can you still blame the woman for being scumbag by him?This is not something Chen can decide.Mrs. Guoguo didn't like Li Dai, she could belittle her however she wanted, there was no need to trample on innocent people.She and Li Dai are just like each other.

Is it just... an illusion?Li Lijun felt that the relationship between the noble concubine and Mrs. Guo Guo's sisters seemed not as close as the legend?
