I didn't intend to become a fairy

Chapter 160 The Princess and the Luthier

After washing up, the Taoist lay down on the bed.

The cat stood on the coffee table by the window, sometimes turned to look at the night outside the window, and sometimes looked back at the Taoist on the bed.

"Mistress Sanhua, go to bed early."

"Is that person today the emperor?"

"Yes, he is the emperor."

The Taoist lying on the bed looked at the darkness with his eyes open, and said to her: "If Mistress Sanhua had his imperial seal back then, she could always be a cat god beside Jinyang Dao without worrying about being caught. Follow me around like this now."

"That's good!"

The cat immediately turned around and said.

"..."

The Taoist couldn't help smiling.

The Sanhuamao back then didn't think so.

Before I knew it, a long time had passed.

"Taoist priest."

"Ok?"

"Will anyone come to Mistress Sanhua to catch mice in the future?"

"Of course." The Taoist lay motionless, only the voice came, "and no one will make wrong decisions in the future. But Empress Sanhua still needs to learn how to get along with people. Not just as a cat Getting along with people as an identity is also getting along with people as a fairy, as a person."

"Mistress Sanhua will work hard."

"Is Mistress Sanhua going out to catch mice tonight?"

"I'm full tonight."

"Then go to bed early."

"To absorb the essence of the moon."

"No moon tonight."

"Yes..."

Then the cat turned around and jumped back on the bed, crawled and crawled, found a place to nest on the quilt around the Taoist's waist, moved its body, and closed its eyes to make the nest more comfortable.

The Taoist also closed his eyes long ago.

There was some movement from next door.

I don't know what this heroine is doing in Changjing, I only know that she is very clear about the big and small movements inside and outside the city of Changjing. Many things happened only in the morning, and she had already heard about them when she came back at night.Even for those things that are usually unheard of, as long as she inquires, it is easy to get the result.

It should be her job in Changjing.

Things to do for noble people.

It's just that she didn't come to Changjing just to seek prosperity and wealth.

"interesting."

The Taoist calmed down, fell into a dream and left.

……

There are many candles lit in the room, exuding a calming aroma, poems are written on the square lanterns, white gauze curtains are layered one after another, and the bright lights become dim, reflecting the figures inside.

The two sat opposite each other in front of the chessboard.

One is graceful and luxurious, about forty years old, well maintained, but also has wrinkles, holding white chess.

One person is dressed in white, looks like a fairy, and holds black chess.

There is a maid standing behind her.

The sound of children falling one after another.

The graceful and luxurious woman said: "I have been in Changjing for several years, and I think you are getting more and more beautiful."

"Wan Jiang's appearance hasn't changed. Maybe it's because he's been in Changjing for a long time, and he looks more and more like the people of Changjing."

"Sometimes I really want to ask someone to find the elixirs that are rumored to keep youth forever. Unfortunately, even the gold-swallowing ghost here can't make me youthful again."

"The princess's plan is so big, how can she get contaminated with these trails."

"You are sober. But you are always young. I don't understand that women can sacrifice anything in order to look young." The princess shook her head, "It's a pity that my two younger brothers are not as sober as you. In order to get rid of my men The people who are in the middle of the world actually instigate monsters to make trouble, and I don’t know who did it, who was instructed... Hehe, if you want to be the emperor in the Taiping era, how can you behave like this?"

"It's true what the princess said."

"Some time ago, you and I discussed why the Changjing City God suddenly became sober and diligent. Did you find out the reason?"

"Princess forgive me, there is no news yet."

"It's okay."

"The city god has been lazy for a long time, and sooner or later he will realize that this is not a long-term solution. However, he is sober at this time and intervenes in the battle for the crown prince. Even if he is a god, he must have some courage." The woman held a chess piece and stared at it. The chessboard looked for the place where the piece would be placed, and said at the same time, "If it wasn't someone who promised to lure you, or was supervised by an expert, Tiangong hasn't taken care of it for so many years, and probably won't take care of it."

"Extremely true."

The princess's tone was very calm.

Miss Wanjiang raised her eyes and smiled, as if the candlelight had dimmed a bit: "It sounds like someone has chosen the princess?"

"At the end of spring, auspiciousness fell from the sky in the capital, and the spirit rain was covered with everything, do you still remember?"

"remember."

"A few days ago, did you hear about the Taiwei Mansion?"

"heard."

Miss Wanjiang squinted her eyes, remembering the encounter that day on the Changshan Mountain, and the glimpse at the Crane Tower later, and the rumored master of Taoism who punished the Taiwei Ya Nei also brought a three-colored cat.

"Is there a connection?"

"I don't know either." The princess took the chess piece and frowned, "However, tonight, His Majesty invited a Taoist into the palace to drink and talk with the national teacher and General Chen Ziyi alone in the Anle Palace, and specially instructed the palace Concubines and eunuchs and maids should not wander around, so as not to disturb the cleanliness of the palace, I heard that the Taoist brought a three-colored cat with him."

"Your Majesty also has the princess' eyeliner."

"That's not true." The princess said, "But the palace is so big, what happened, how can we hide it from anyone?"

"I see."

"Do you know when such an expert came to Changjing?"

"I don't know for now."

The woman answered very frankly.

"Go check it out."

"Yes."

"What time is it?"

"It's almost three o'clock."

"It's so late."

"Does the princess want to go back? Or just rest here?"

"It's still time to go back. I don't know if the Taoist has left the palace at this moment, or he is still talking with His Majesty in the palace at night. In short, we have to go back to find out."

"Aren't you going to finish this round?"

"You have won."

The princess has stood up.

The woman also got up quickly.

After seeing the princess off, her expression quickly changed, she lost respect and became indifferent.

Big and long eyes, an appearance that is so beautiful that it is not like a mortal, lips like a shipwreck, as soon as his expression faded, he immediately became a bit world-weary and cold.

The woman turned her head to look at the night sky outside, squinted her eyes, began to think, and murmured:
"Fulong Temple..."

Ask the maid to fetch the painting and open it for a look.

At that time, the mountain was full of apricot blossoms, and the promenade surrounded the mountainside, but only one corner was taken in the painting - the Taoist and the cat were sitting side by side on the promenade, and the cat was leaning on the Taoist with its body crooked. But some wicked people will soften their hearts for a short time when they see it, and the mountains in the distance are also light, and the flowers are also light, and the apricot blossoms are sticking out nearby, and the petals are drooping by the wind, attracting the cat to look up...

What a rare painting.

When I first drew it, I felt that I should give it to that Taoist, and this fate is the best.But later I took this painting back and often opened it to appreciate it at home, but the more I looked at it, the more I liked it, and the more I looked at it, the more I hated it.

Although this painting is not comparable to Master Dou's masterpiece, nor is it comparable to the successors of the Dou family, but it is still a rare masterpiece, right?
If anyone were to give this painting as a gift, the woman would definitely not want it.

Not even a princess.

It would be a beautiful thing to give it back to the painting itself, but at this time my heart is not as straightforward as it was then.

"Ugh……"

The woman showed helplessness.

Put away the paintings, fetch a jug of wine, sit down in front of the chessboard again, pinch a piece again, and say to the maid next to you:

"You come and accompany me."

"Master, I am you, how can I beat you?" the maid said with a smile.

"Oh, it's really boring."

"..."

next morning.

The whole game of night chess is here, and the pot of spring wine is half empty.

The woman wakes up leisurely.

The maid refused to play chess with her, so she had to play chess with herself.Of course, when the maid accompanies her, it is also by herself.However, she had to fight with her own thoughts, she had no choice but to stay alone until midnight, and no one won.Drank some wine, it was not sweet enough when I drank it, and I woke up bitter, which was very boring.

The maid came to report and found out where the gentleman lived.

"Are you going today?"

"Not today."

"why?"

"It's cloudy today, it's not advisable to go out."

"When are you going?"

"In a few days, he should be very busy these days."

"it is good."

The maid retreated, and the woman continued to lie down halfway, playing with the chess pieces on the table with her fingers from time to time, her eyes seemed to see something, and her eyes seemed to be distracted, her heart seemed to be thinking, and she seemed to let go of everything.

……

Willow Leaf Street attracted a lot of attention.

There are not a few people in Changjing who love the way of immortality and seek out masters, and there are also many people who are not used to the vegetarian meal in the place of the Taiwei's corpse and do not restrain their children, and there are also many people who simply want to get acquainted with masters.

The folks only know that the Taiwei wanted to prolong his life, so he ate the poisonous pill by mistake, and was poisoned to death. People said that the tall man might have descended from a god, but it was a rumor after all, and no one knew who the tall man was.

But if you are a dignitary in Changjing, you will know a thing or two.

Some people want to see the elegant demeanor of a master, but they are afraid of offending the Chang surname forces.Some people are not afraid, but they don't know how to visit them.Someone found a reason to visit an expert, and was entangled for a while, whether many people would think of this method at the moment.

Some people were also worried that it was the mouse-killing god cat that I introduced to the Taiwei's family, and wondered whether the expert or the Chang family would blame themselves.

Some people have always been calm and spying secretly.

Some people have a straightforward nature and come whenever they want.

However, those who come to Liuye Street can only see a closed door. The original sign of exorcising evil and demons at the door has been removed, and only the rats are left to worry about.

The Taoist got up early, boiled some eggs, took the sanhua cat with him, bought some scones, steamed cakes and steamed buns, filled enough water, and followed Wu Xia to fetch her beloved yellow-maned horse, and they went out of the city together. go.

At this time, we have reached the road to Beiqin Mountain.

In midsummer, the vegetation is green, but today is cool, the sun is not visible above the head, walking on the loess path, blowing the wind, it is really comfortable.

The cat walked in small steps, looking here and there. It seemed that she hadn't left the city for a while. She was in a good mood. From time to time, she followed the cicadas to find the tree, and her mood was even better.

The Taoist priest is also in a good mood, as if his eyes are wide open.

The matter of Changjing was forgotten.

Just be free and easy, no matter what troubles you have.

"Today is cloudy, suitable for going out!"

"It's cool..."

"Of course."

"It's fine if it doesn't rain."

"Not today."

"You know?"

"Guess."

"Then I believe you!"

"Thank you."

The Taoist glanced at Miss Wu who was on the horse. She also brought a few matchlocks, which should be used to repel mosquitoes because she was worried that there would be many mosquitoes in the mountains at night.

Very good, and save some thoughts.
