A Collection of Old Sayings by Fourth Sister You

Chapter 163 Lin Yuan (26)
If you dare to say nothing, I will cremate you, and you will never be beautiful again!
"Then, the minister is considered to be attached to His Highness." He smiled, and made a long bow, "The humble minister fulfills his wish and honors the Lord, and three lives are lucky."

She raised her hand to help her up, "National Teacher, you don't need to be polite. Although I half-believe what you said just now, the Chinese teacher in distress is willing to lend a helping hand, and Lian Deng is grateful. National teacher, don't worry, I am very dedicated. People, I will treat you wholeheartedly. Now you have to go back to the shrine to prepare, and wait for me to welcome you?"

He shook his head, "There is nothing to prepare. I have already arranged the affairs of the shrine before I came. I will live in the princess mansion with His Highness for a while, and then the princess will return to the shrine with me. We can switch places."

That's fine, after all, he has a different status, and getting married hastily seems to be detrimental to his dignity.Walking around frequently on both sides, no one can talk about getting married, and life will be enough.But he came prepared, as if he had expected that she would accept him, he was indeed a national teacher, with a clever plan.Then what?Did you count her secret promise?
Lian Deng looked at him with her belly in her arms, and the breeze blowing in from between the bamboo curtains lifted his robe, which was pleasing to the eye.From today on, he is hers. Anyway, the request is just a formality, and she will keep him whether the emperor agrees or not.

She was secretly happy, took a step over, and touched his wide sleeve carefully, "The national teacher is not familiar with me yet, I may have some bad habits, which will make you unhappy. But when two people are together, bumps and bumps are inevitable. Let me talk about it first." Well, no one is allowed to make peace."

He raised his brows slightly, "Didn't Your Highness say that we will part ways after giving Bao'er a title?"

"Did I say that?" She pretended to be surprised, "Marriage is a child's play, I am such a sensible person, it is impossible to have such thoughts!" As she spoke, cold sweat flowed down.Those who are finally trapped cannot be missed just because of a momentary slip of the tongue.She originally wanted to find someone to make do with, since he voluntarily took the bait and entered the door of her princess mansion, he couldn't help but leave halfway.But after all, she felt that she owed him a little. The origin of this child was really unknown, and she was not stupid, and she would not believe that everything was born from heaven and earth.Anyway, he is a good person, and she decided to love him well in the future and not let him suffer any grievances.

After she expressed this attitude, Lin Yuan was relieved, "No one will mention reconciliation. Your Highness will not go back on what he said today."

She raised three fingers, "Emperor Empress Dowager will testify for me."

He pursed his lips and smiled, the waves of light from the koi altar under the window were refracted in his eyes, shining golden.His eyes softened, as if dripping water, he took a step closer, "Then... can I hug my wife now?"

Lian Deng's heart skipped a beat, although his memory was not familiar, it felt like he had been in love for a long time.But after all, I was a little embarrassed, looked left and right, and finally muttered after a while: "The national teacher is free."

He didn't dare to make his feelings look too strong, so he hugged her lightly and let her find a comfortable position to lean in his arms.She couldn't see his face, he lowered his head and pressed against her hair tightly, almost wet his eyes.

"His Royal Highness, I will never regret it in my life. As long as I live, I will treat you well."

When he showed his loyalty, she felt very satisfied.Get closer to him, she likes the smell of him, it can make people's soul peaceful.In fact, she always felt that there was sadness between his brows. Although it was beautiful for a beauty to frown, it would make her feel bad.She raised her hand and tentatively caressed the center of his brow, "From now on, the national teacher will be happy. It's okay for that lady to forget you. She doesn't want you. I want you. Compared with her, I shouldn't be much worse." Go, so the national teacher is not at a disadvantage."

He smiled and said yes, "Your Highness is no worse than her. In the future, I will live with His Highness. But His Highness always calls our teacher, which is too outlandish. You should call me Linyuan, it looks kind."

She smiled shyly, "My name is Lian Deng, you know that?"

"I know...my lotus lamp." He caressed her face, this face that made him think about it day and night, and now it returned to him.She didn't seem used to his touch, and he was a little sad.Being pregnant with his child was a stranger to him, and it was his own fault.

"Are you afraid of me?" He looked into her eyes and said, "I am your husband and Bao'er's, yeah, don't be afraid of me."

Lian Deng looked at him seriously, "I'm not afraid of you, I just admire you."

He sneered, "You admire me, how could you know that I don't admire you! Today is Tannu's big wedding, let's go tomorrow, tomorrow we will enter the palace together, meet your majesty and concubine, and inform Chenhe about our affairs , and then there is nothing to worry about, I will not leave you for a day, and stay with you every day."

She was very happy to hear that, and she stood on tiptoe and hugged his neck, "I was still thinking this morning, Tanu and Zhuanzhuan both have husbands, and I am very envious of them. I didn't expect my luck to come as soon as it was said, heaven It's my luck to lose a man who looks better than theirs."

She was always rejoicing, or rather humbled, which made him ashamed, "Actually, I am not as good as you think. Many of my decisions are wrong, and I am very sorry for you."

I don't understand the meaning of his words. Anyway, she likes it, and the shortcomings will become advantages.She said it was okay, "I spoil you."

He hugged her, wrapped his hands around her waist, and lowered his head to kiss the corner of her lips, "No, I spoil you."

Her snort was whistling, very tense.My mind is dizzy, my vision is blurred, and I am not familiar with her yet, so I will kiss her for the second time, okay?But he has already agreed to be her husband, and it seems to be a matter of course for a husband to be his wife.

Lian Deng suddenly grabbed Myrobalan, opened his eyes and said no, "I heard that people who are pregnant can't do this, and if they make a bad mess, it will hurt the child."

His forehead twitched, "Is there such a rule?"

"That's right." She pushed him away and sat up, and patiently explained to him, "It's not just when you're pregnant, it's also not allowed to have a full moon after giving birth."

This time the national teacher was stupid, sitting on the couch with his head slumped, Luo Yi, who had been untied when he was passionate, was also laughing at him, he hurriedly closed the skirt, and said embarrassingly: "You know a lot, just teach me if you have nothing to do Do you have these?"

She smiled and said, "Women are chatting together, chatting around at will." Seeing sweat on his forehead, she rolled up her sleeves and wiped it for him, and said coquettishly, "The future will be long, don't worry about it for a while... you Are you hungry? I’ll ask someone to make some snacks for you. Do you want to eat Hoto? I remember you like to eat Hoto...” After she finished speaking, she paused. It’s strange that she actually remembered that he loved to eat Hoto.

He froze for a moment, and quickly smoothed things over, "Most people in Chang'an like this...so I like it too." He tied up her skirt, and seeing that she was still in a daze, he hurriedly interrupted and asked her, "Sheng Xiyi, what are you going to explain?" ? He has a crush on you, don't you know it?"

Lian Deng spread his hands and said: "I didn't promise him anything, so why should I explain to him? But I'm sorry to accept some five-year-old peonies from him. Later, I will ask someone to prepare a gift and send it to his house. His Majesty pointed out another marriage for him, there are so many princesses and princesses in Chang'an, there is no need to worry about not having a good candidate."

After hearing this, he heaved a long sigh of relief, "You have already thought about it, so I don't need to worry about it."

She laughed and said: "I want to clean up the previous romantic account, so that I can marry you with all my heart."

He shook his head helplessly. In fact, this person was born in the wrong birth. She should be a man, right?Otherwise, why do ideas have nothing to do with women!

Fangzhou and the others know how to judge the situation best. Without waiting for a greeting, they sent all the things he used to use.

He raised his eyes and looked at them meekly, all of them were full of spring, and he must be full of anticipation for the days when the dragons have no leader.He snorted, "What? If I leave the shrine, you will no longer be able to protect me?"

"No, no, no..." Qiu Guan said, "This subordinate will obey the orders of the seat as always, but after the seat gets married, it is inconvenient for the subordinate to come in and out at will, and we need to send two more people to get close to the seat. A witch..."

"No!" Qiuguan finished speaking, and the lotus lamp eating apricots protested loudly, "There are enough maidservants in my house, and there is no need to send another one. Besides, he has me by his side, and I can take care of his daily life."

The national teacher's face was embarrassing, "The witches are all kept in the shrine since childhood, don't think about it."

She didn't speak, rested her chin leisurely, and turned her eyes to the other side.

It seems that women don't have any logic when they are jealous. Preventing problems before they happen is their means.Since she objected, he naturally had nothing to say, took a step back and said, "Choose two capable men and arrange them to serve in the study."

She didn't have much opinion on sending maids, but she still expressed her opinion, "You should choose the ones who are average in appearance, not too good-looking... so as not to spoil my maid."

The Lingtai Langs were tongue-tied, in fact, as long as it was alive, she would be wary of it, no matter whether it was a man or a woman?Looking at the seat again, he just nodded, obviously resigned to his fate.

Soon it was night, and the mansion was full of fiery trees and silver flowers.Dali welcomes relatives at night, and the curfew can be opened on happy occasions.When it was dark, the groom's official brought a guard of honor to welcome the bride. After a long distance, he heard the sound of street drumming, and the sound wave came like a tide.

He stood by the colonnade, crossed his chest and watched her make trouble.She clawed at the crack of the door to beg for red envelopes, and she still refused to let him go after begging, and asked Xiao Chaodu to sing.General Xiao had a way of leading the army, and his singing was not flattering. After listening to a few words, she covered her ears and surrendered, "Forget it, let's open the door! It sounds so bad, it will scare my Bao'er."

When the bridegroom officer came in, she carried out a routine and knocked on him twice with a small bamboo branch, shouting: "It doesn't matter if you kill him!" Xiao Chaodu was like a fool, standing upright and letting her beat him.It's really that the number of people is too thin, and the two of them are acting like they are doing a play, and the meaning is over.

Tan Nu didn't take marriage seriously, and when she was about to go out, she lifted her mask and told her, "Tomorrow I have to face the saint, so be careful when going in and out, I'll be back in two days."

She hurriedly said goodbye, "You are newly married, please spend more time with your son-in-law. I just need to rest assured that Linyuan is here."

Tan Nu oh, looking at the people under the lantern, the vine purple gown is smudged with a layer of misty water color, even standing there, it has the effect of stabilizing the country, let alone taking care of a pregnant woman .

Lian Deng put down the barrier for her, sent her to the sedan chair, and watched Tan Nu being surrounded by people, as if she had lost something important, and felt very upset.

"Do you think Xiao Chao will treat her kindly? Will Tan Nu be bullied by the general's mansion?"

The national teacher shook his head, "Don't forget, Tan Nu is a dead man of King Ding, who has experienced great storms. I am afraid that no one in the general's mansion dares to oppose her, because she is afraid of making her angry, so she will kill her."

She thought about it and found it very reasonable, so she stopped worrying.The bride is gone, and the rest of the guests still have to entertain.They were all people under King Ding's command back then, and gathered together noisyly.People who were born in the army have this advantage, even if no one greets them, they can still eat and drink well.

Lian Deng went to Chenhe's table, he was exchanging glasses with several generals, seeing them coming, everyone put down their wine cups and stood up to salute.Chenhe was surprised in his heart, but his face was still calm. Lian Deng called brother, he nodded slightly, turned his eyes to look at Lin Yuan, "Someone in the army pretended to be a national teacher, and disturbed the army. Later, he escaped , Xiao Wang also ordered people to search around, but unfortunately they all returned in vain. A while ago, I heard that he had been captured by the national teacher, and Xiao Wang finally let go of his heart. Did the national teacher come to drink Tannu wedding wine today? Abandon, how about sitting on the same level as me?"

Lin Yuan arched his hands, "I don't know how to drink, and I don't intend to break the precepts. I'm afraid I will betray the king's kindness. I came today not only to congratulate, but also to propose. When tomorrow dawns, we will enter Palace, please Your Majesty bestow a marriage."

When the generals heard this, they congratulated each other. The fact that the national teacher is going to get married is probably more shocking than the emperor's wedding.But Chenhe frowned tightly, their fate broke for a while, and then continued for a while, are they playing with children?What is the plan of this national teacher?My own problems have not been resolved yet, and I am disturbing people's peace again, so why can't I think more about the lotus lamp?And his silly sister, can the so-called forgetfulness be fake?

He looked at the lotus lantern puzzled, "What do you mean? Have you already agreed?"

Lian Deng hesitated, "I can't agree..."

He vented to his heels in one breath, "This matter is related to your whole life, have you thought it through clearly?"

Without waiting for her to answer, Lin Yuan took over the conversation, "We have already made an agreement, and I will report it to the king while I am happy today. I will enter the palace tomorrow to invite the decree to set a date, and then I will ask the king to preside over the wedding banquet for us. After saying that, he stopped looking at him, turned his head and said to Lian Deng, "I've been busy for a long time, are you tired? There are people from Changshi and Jingu outside to take care of you, so you don't have to worry about it. I'll take you back to your room, wash up and go to sleep Come on, it's not a good time to be tired."

The last sentence is for Chen He, Chen He is a smart person, he already understands the meaning of his words without asking.It is not advisable to be tired... It seems that the overall situation has been settled, and there is no room for change.That being the case, what else is there to say?He looked at the lotus lantern and sighed heavily.

There is no elder brother in the world who is willing to watch his sister jump into a fire pit.Similarly, there is no close friend, sister who is willing to share joys and sorrows and go to a marriage without ending.

The conversation between the men turned around and she didn't want to participate, so she could only blame Lian Deng, "Why are your ears so soft? Could it be that he coaxed you a few words, and you couldn't find it again? You obviously said you had forgotten it, why did you enter today?" The palace came to ask for an order? Do you want to marry him? He..." He lowered his voice and whispered into her ear, "The National Teacher's Day is approaching, maybe he will die tomorrow, are you going to be his widow? "

Lian Deng was very jealous of her saying this, so she slapped her unceremoniously, "Who said he would die tomorrow? You have a crow's mouth! I want to marry him because I fell in love with him at first sight."

Zhuan Zhuan sneered, "What the hell is love at first sight? I thought your little bit of love would have been polished away by reality! No, I won't allow you to marry him. You should marry Sheng Xiyi."

Lian Deng stared at her with puffed cheeks, "If you want to make trouble, I will turn against you."

Turning around, he said, "What a guy who values ​​sex and despises friends! Just because that person has a seductive face, you were completely subdued by him? You are only greedy for the present, have you thought about what you will do in the future?? "

She was very angry, "Didn't you find the Sutra of Crossing the Dead?"

"What's the use of finding it? Who has the ability to drive it? His master was scattered by him. There is no one in this world who can save him. You still want to jump down even though you know it's a pit? "

Lian Deng was stunned, unable to think of a way.But those are not important, the important thing is to find a father for Bao'er.She was a little embarrassed to speak up, Zhuanzhuan was so unwilling to give in, and finally had to tell her the truth, "I learned a shocking thing yesterday. For some reason, the medical officer said that I was pregnant."

Turning around and eating Bi Luo, hearing what she said, he forgot to bite, the cherry sauce inside flowed out and spilled all over his front.Before she could wipe it off in time, she stared at her in astonishment, "Is she pregnant?"

Lian Deng lowered her head in dismay, "I don't know who the child's Aye is, but I'm not married right now. When the child is born in the future, should I make him look down upon by others? It just so happens that the National Teacher is benevolent and willing to solve my urgent needs. I can't ask for more I am very grateful to him, so don't be prejudiced against others, there are not many kind-hearted people like him nowadays."

Zhuan Zhuan became more and more resentful, and said: "The national teacher is really useless, he is kind? It was originally what he did, and he took the responsibility. How can you call it kind! Only you, a silly girl, are always punished. He lied all over the place, does Tan Nu know about this? What did she say?"

The three of them have frequent contacts. Tan Nu went to the palace and told her about Lian Deng's effort for the national teacher. Now that Lian Deng is pregnant, the national teacher suddenly found out with conscience.Thanks to this ignorant person who wholeheartedly spoke for him, which aspect of his actions from beginning to end deserves Lian Deng's gratitude?

Lian Deng heard some clues from her words, she firmly insisted that the child belonged to the national teacher, why did Zhuan Zhuan be so sure about something she didn't even know?In fact, the people around her have been deliberately hiding something from her for a long time, and she can feel it.Maybe she had an unpleasant past, which made everyone keep it secret... She planned to find out, so she broke through from Zhuanzhuan, and then said, "If he doesn't admit it, there's nothing you can do about it, so I said yes Thank him. Don't be so excited, it's not good to hurt the fetus. We are really destined, and we always get pregnant together..."

Zhuanzhuan's eyes widened, "Liandeng, do you remember the past?"

She stood there in a daze, and in an instant, many pictures flashed in front of her eyes, all about her and him.She panicked, how much did she forget?She grabbed Zhuan Zhuan's hand, "Recently, my mind is always dizzy, and I can't remember many things, but I know that the relationship between me and him is not so simple. Zhuan Zhuan, if you still treat me as a friend , tell me the whole truth."

The negotiation between the national teacher and the emperor also encountered some obstacles. The emperor said tactfully, "I also know that it has not been easy for you and my sister to walk together. Now that you have a child, you should give her a title. I don't want to I oppose you getting married, but...don't make too much publicity. What I mean is, it's best to keep it secret from the world. Outsiders won't know what happened in the shrine, and the national teacher is still the original national teacher , can guard this Dali country for me."

He is a little embarrassed, to be honest, it is not easy for him to support him as emperor, and he also hopes to return him a stable community.He knew what his identity meant to the Dali Dynasty. Even if the national teacher was just an empty shelf, it would also have the effect of stabilizing the court.But when reality and feelings conflict, he can't care so much anymore and can only follow his heart.

He made a bow, "Your Majesty returned to the harem, what is it that you are so angry about, isn't it that you can't give the noble concubine the honor of being the mother of the country? For the woman you love, I have the same thoughts as your Majesty. Marriage by a national teacher is against the law of heaven." "Since your Majesty agreed, why can't you allow me to do things perfectly? I have never concealed my feelings for Lian Deng from Your Majesty. Now that she is the imperial sister, I can't wrong her. She has taken the medicine of forgetting love. I can’t remember clearly. If the matchmaker cannot be married, how should I explain it to her? There is also the child of the minister, we can’t let him bear the name of an illegitimate child. He should walk outside in an upright manner, not like me, who has been trapped for more than a hundred years. In the Taishang Shrine. Although I am not the first generation of national teachers, I have assisted the four kings of the Dali Dynasty and have never made any unreasonable demands. This is the first and last time. Please Your Majesty. .”

He has already said that, no matter how unaccommodating he is, it seems a bit unreasonable.But the emperor thought more than ordinary people. The Dali needed a legend. If this legend suddenly became a mortal, then who can prove that the current emperor is the Xunhun on behalf of the sky?
The emperor fell silent, and after a long while sighed, "From the day of your wedding, there will be no more national teachers in the world."

The emperor was obviously very displeased. Of course he noticed it, but he didn't intend to pay attention to it.Just about to bow to thank you, the lotus lamp came from the path and called out to His Majesty, "Your Majesty's words are polite, our affairs are nothing more than trivial matters, and cannot be compared with Jiangshan Sheji. I came to the palace today just to tell the news to my elder brother and my brother." Just turn around, you just need to know, it doesn't matter whether you hold a wedding banquet or not."

When she made such a statement, the emperor became very embarrassed, "Don't be angry, I am discussing with the national teacher."

She said: "I'm not angry, I really thought it through. He can be with me, and that's enough for me. Whether or not to beat the gongs and drums to make it known to all neighbors is a digression."

The emperor turned to look at the national teacher, with a calm expression on his face, as if he agreed with her words.

Therefore, entering the palace this time did not achieve the effect they had originally envisioned.The marriage is agreed, but it should not be publicized. It must be done quietly, and it must be kept out of the way.Lin Yuan felt very sorry for her because of this, and sat in the car afraid to speak, but kept looking at her expression.Her face was expressionless, and when she found that he was always looking at her, she simply turned her face away.Now he became nervous and touched her hand tremblingly, "What's the matter? Are you upset? It's okay, I'll go to the palace again after I send you home."

But it wasn't this that bothered her, she pursed her lips, and the corners of her lips were pressed down.After holding back for a long time, I couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted to him: "You have been hiding it from me until I die? Linyuan, when have you really heard my heart? When have you ever cared about my feelings? You always Self-righteous, self-righteous is good to me, self-righteous destroys my memory!"

He was stunned when he heard her accusation, and seeing the tears in her eyes, he knew that finally something had happened.In fact, she has a deep obsession, whether it is for her mother or for this relationship.She has residual memory fragments, as long as they are properly guided, his methods can't deal with her at all.

"Liandeng, I know I'm wrong again, I always do wrong things, I make mistakes again and again..." His face is full of fear, "Don't be angry, you can't be angry now. If you really hate, hit me Well, you can punish me however you want, just don't get angry."

How can she not be angry?He fooled her again and again, under the guise of doing her best, manipulating her memory like a puppet.Her voice became high-pitched and sharp because of anger, "Do you think this is cleaning the house? Clean out all the bad things, and the rest will be bright and beautiful? I will remember all the bad things you did to me, until I die I can't forget it. You sinister villain, I hate you, get out!"

The carriage moved slowly and turned into Chongdefang, where the Princess Mansion was located. The door of the carriage opened suddenly, and the national teacher was pushed down.The boy driving the shaft was startled, it was too late to rein in.Fortunately, the national teacher was so agile that he didn't fall down, but he was kicked out of the car halfway, like an abandoned child, standing blankly on the road without direction.

Si'er wanted to stop, but Lian Deng reprimanded, "Go to you!" shouted to the stunned people outside the car, "I don't want you anymore, go back to where you came from!" Then he shrank back into the car angrily , burst into tears.

In fact, she knew that he was thinking about her this time, because she would die soon, and she would rather she forget him and start over.But had he asked her opinion?She made it clear that she didn't want to take the medicine, so why did he ask Tan Nu to help him?Fortunately, God didn't like him, she was pregnant again, this time he was finished, and now it was her turn to torture him.

She grinned and cried a lot. After crying, she opened the curtain and looked back. He was chasing after him foolishly. She felt more and more uncomfortable. She hated him, but her heart ached.It turned out that she couldn't see him suffering at all, and when he fell down, she would suffer more than him.She was going to be hard-hearted, but she couldn't hold on for long, so Si'er stopped.She jumped out of the car and stopped him with a juniper fan in her hand, "Stop!"

Sure enough, he stopped, looking at her pitifully at a distance of six or seven feet away from her.While she was not paying attention, he took half a step forward, but was scolded by her, and dared not go forward again.

"What on earth do you want!" She stomped her feet and cried, but she didn't know what to do.She was doomed to die at his hands in this life, could it be that she really owed him, and countless sufferings were not enough to repay him.

He was about to cry, and murmured: "I was wrong, please forgive me one more time!"

She was so choked up that she couldn't speak. There were countless similar scenes in this love.She thought about teaching him a lesson, but as long as he lowered his posture a little, she would surrender unconditionally, even wanting to spurn herself.This is probably love, and there is no other way but to compromise when you are helpless.What's more, he has a child again, a lost and found treasure, he cannot be left without Aye.

She threw the juniper fan in her hand towards him, a little resistance was enough to express her anger.After the fire, he was so weak that he sat down on the ground directly.

He hurried over, helped her up, and patted the dirt on her skirt, "Are you tired? I'll hug you."

She pushed him, "I haven't forgiven you yet!"

He stood there in embarrassment, people in the street came and went, all covering their mouths and whispering, he could only pull her painting silk, "Don't let people see the joke, can we talk about it when we have something to say?"

Only then did Lian Deng realize that there were quite a few onlookers, she blushed immediately, and quickly got back into the car.

Although they ride together, she still ignores him, and the high wall rises again imperceptibly.He felt terrified, and said in a sad voice, "For Bao'er's sake..."

She looked at him with tears in her eyes, "Yesterday I thought you were a good person, and I was very grateful to you, but what happened? You took the trouble to make up that set of excuses, what are you talking about? I feel sorry for you!"

He choked, and said in a low voice: "Actually, I'm also very embarrassed, but I can't think of how to explain the origin of the child... I'm afraid you won't keep him. Thinking about the last one, my heart is in a mess It seems that he said it out of his mouth."

He dared to talk nonsense because of his good reputation.She didn't want to talk to him anymore, and leaned aside alone.

When the car arrived at the gate of the house, several Fu Mu rushed up to help her. He wanted to take over, but she didn't even look at him.Later, when he entered the house, he fell asleep on his head. He was helpless and could only sit under the eaves and sigh.

Pregnant women are always drowsy. Lian Deng slept until the evening, and when he woke up, he was not there, and he was shocked again.Going out in a hurry, he found that he was leaning against the pillar and holding an almanac, planning their wedding day.

"It is not suitable to get married for forty days after today. The [-]th star will rotate until next month. The [-]th is a good day for auspiciousness. We will set it on that day. Do you think it is good? Start the preparations now, and it should be almost the same by then. Bao'er is only three months old, and she likes to be lenient, so you can't tell."

Infected by his serious attitude, she sat down and took the almanac and flipped through it. She couldn't understand it, so she said casually, "You can do it when you are sure, but as I said in the palace, keep quiet and call For the few people who are close, it’s enough for everyone to have a wedding banquet.”

Seeing that her anger was dissipated by a nap, he secretly cheered up, "I have no objection, just do as you say."

She stretched out her hand to pour tea, and he hurriedly took it and poured it for her. After testing the temperature, she handed it over. She glanced at him, lowered her head and sighed, "I feel that Bao'er will be wronged in the future and dare not tell others who her Ye Niang is." , not even being an official in the court.”

He slowly rubbed the mouth of the teacup, thought for a while and said, "Do you still remember what you said to me before, that you want to go back to Dunhuang?"

She took a sip of her tea and nodded, "Why?"

"I have been thinking for the past few days, if possible, summon the three souls and seven souls of Master Qi, and return him the position of the national teacher. I will take you and Bao'er, and we will go to the desert together." He propped his arms behind his back. , looking at the clouds in the sky with a loose expression, "He wrote the Dali. I have replaced him for more than 100 years. The court officials still have a rest, but I don't. Now I don't want to do it. Please resign." What? I want to take my wife and children to the ends of the earth and live a life of ordinary people. Do you still remember the days when we passed by Zhangye and stayed at the inn? I always think about it later, it was very comfortable at that time, and it was the life I wanted. Dunhuang is too dry, and the sky is full of yellow sand. I’m afraid it’s not good for Bao’er. We can buy properties in the Hexi Corridor. Go west, go wherever you want."

He usually looks unloved, and she rarely sees this longing expression on his face.Her nose was faintly sore, "What if Bao'er has another Bao'er after that? Wouldn't it be impossible to get out of Yumen Pass?"

He bit his lip and frowned, and muttered, "I think having too many children is not good for you. One son and one daughter are enough. We can spend the rest of the day together, otherwise you will always be pregnant, and I will touch you." Not you."

It turned out that the so-called badness was only because of his selfishness.Lian Deng's face turned red, and he spat lightly.Looking at him again, his eyebrows are stretched out, like a noble son with a broken willow on the bridge in spring, leisurely and a little lazy.

She moved over, pinched his chin, and kissed him, "Be obedient in the future."

He nodded quickly, "OK."

"Don't lie to me, no matter what happens, tell me and let me make up my mind." She threatened him, "If you can't do it again, I'll divorce you. It's not divorce, it's divorce!"

He was really panicked, and said in a low voice: "I remember, don't say such things."

Her heart softened again, and she kissed him again, and whispered in his ear: "Tell me around, after three months the baby is congested, and you can have intercourse."

He straightened up in surprise, his eyes lit up immediately, "Really? Zhuan Zhuan finally did something good, otherwise I might have to settle accounts with her."

She pursed her lips and smiled shyly. Zhuan Zhuan was indeed right. Men generally like to talk about this.It is said that when you want to do something but can't ask for it, try this trick.If he loves you, it's almost impossible to try.

So the wedding was set on the twentieth of next month, and both of them had been looking forward to it for a long time. Because Lian Deng was pregnant, there was less interference. He valued it very much, and almost everything was done by himself.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner, and the road ahead is bright.Just when Lian Deng thought she could steal a floating life, the heaven made another joke with her.On a very tired morning, I felt his warm hands touching her face and stomach, again and again.She turned sideways and muttered, "Woke up so early?" She opened her eyes bewilderedly, and sat up in shock as if she had been stabbed by a needle suddenly.

He knelt in front of her couch, his face was still young, but his hair had already turned white, and he looked at her mournfully, his eyes filled with the sadness of hopelessness.Pulling her hand to his forehead, he said softly, "Liandeng, I'm sorry, I don't think I can wait until Bao'er is born."

Lian Deng covered her mouth, not daring to cry, but was too flustered, climbed off the couch, fell heavily, and threw herself into his arms.

"Is it time?" She grabbed his hand and asked tremblingly, "But Dong Guan and the others went out to visit and there is no news, what should we do?"

"I didn't expect it to be so soon." He smiled helplessly, "It's not even in time for the wedding...that's fine."

What good?Are you glad you missed it again?She swallowed silently, complaining that God was treating her harshly, and that happiness was right in front of her eyes, but she refused to let it go.She returned her kung fu to him, but she only managed to win it for two months.After the ghost battle, his vitality was severely injured, just like a plant whose roots have rotted, barely sustaining it, and sooner or later he still has to face death.

Not daring to let him see her crying, she dodged it, got up and found a cloak to put on him, "Go back to the shrine, and think of a way after you go back."

He went to the mirror and took a look. The master was not like him before he passed away.He raked his hair, it was all white, and he was really old.Sighing, he put on his hood, afraid that she might be worried, so he turned around to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, there will always be a solution. The corpses of people with pure Yang blood will not rot, so it doesn't matter if you wait for three to five years."

She held the jade bamboo branch tightly in her hand, raised her head and said, "But last time you said it would be within seven days."

"Within seven days, if the soul lingers, it can be counted as this life. After seven days, if it enters the gate of hell, it can only be counted as another life." He touched her face and tried to smile at her, "Don't worry, when the time comes... Sometimes I will still recognize you at a glance, because yin and yang blood are naturally attracted to each other. Also, I have never loved you enough in this life. If I do it again, I will still choose you."

She knew that he was comforting her, what was it called, she was about to die, but turned around to comfort others.She patted him on the shoulder, "That's natural, I will watch you and imprison you, so that you can't see other women, you can only continue to submit to me." As she spoke, she buckled for him Gilt collar buckle.He loves beauty, and this white hair cannot be exposed.She tidied it up for him carefully, having fun in the bitterness, "Actually, this is also very beautiful, just like a fairy in the snow mountain. When you raise one hand, it's raining, and when you raise that hand, it's snowing."

He pursed his lips and smiled, "Don't you look like an old man?"

She said: "How can there be such a young old man? You have no spots or wrinkles on your face. It is recorded in the book that it is called a childlike face with white hair."

Death is terrible for everyone, and both of them are trying their best to ease the atmosphere, but the disaster is still there, and they turn around with tears in their eyes, but they dare not let the other party see it.

Lian Deng's heart was on fire, she couldn't just sit and wait for death like this, she had to think of a way.She went out with him and sent him into the chariot without herself.He opened the curtain and looked at her, and she said, "Go back to the shrine first, I still have something to do, and I'll be there after I'm done."

He didn't know what her plan was, he hesitated and said, "Don't worry me."

She stuffed the bamboo branch into his hand, turned to Fang Zhou and said, "Take care of him for me, I'll be right back."

Fang Zhou nodded, without further delay, he drove out of Lifang.

She stood at the bottom of the steps and collected herself, then turned around and ordered someone to lead the horse.Right now, she couldn't tolerate her sitting in the chariot slowly, because she was afraid of his opposition, she didn't dare to tell him, after much deliberation, now there is no one else to rely on except Cuiwei.Cuiwei is his fellow disciple, even though he is not as good as him, at least he has hundreds of years.Last time because of Bao'er, he turned against her and kicked her out of the Supreme Shrine. Fortunately, he was merciful and did not abolish her cultivation.He was injured in the battle with the former national teacher, and Cuiwei came to see him, so she knew that she was still thinking about the old relationship.If it is known that he has reached this point, he should not die.

Fu Mu advised from the side, "Your Highness's body should not be jolted..."

She grabbed the reins and jumped on the horse, ignoring them, and rode out with a whip.

Cuiwei's Bisha Palace was built to the west of Longshouyuan, not too far from the imperial city.Because most of the witches work for the palace, Cuiwei's palace is not arranged outside Chang'an like the Taishang Shrine.She took the reins to the front of the palace gate and asked the maiden to inform her. Standing under the eaves and watching the rising sun in the east, she just felt upset and had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery anymore.

When Cuiwei heard that she had arrived, she went out to meet her herself.She didn't have time to pay attention to etiquette, so she stepped forward and grabbed her wrist and said: "I'm begging Madam to live, Lin Yuan's body is abnormal this morning, it seems that disaster is coming. I beg Madam to think of a fellowship and find a way for me Save him."

Cuiwei also felt tense, "Didn't His Highness transfer the energy to him last time? How could it be so fast!"

Lian Deng wanted to cry without tears, "I have done as you said, and now it seems that the results are not good, but it has been delayed for more than two months. I really have no one else to entrust, so I have to ask my wife. I know before For my sake, you have made your brothers and sisters at odds, no matter who is right or who is wrong, he is Madam's senior brother after all, life is at stake right now, Madam please show mercy!"

She was about to kneel down as she said that, Cui Wei hurriedly supported her, and said embarrassingly: "Your Highness is going to break me, if it is not for my temporary selfishness, it will not cause you to lose your child. Please rest assured, Your Highness, as long as If there is a glimmer of hope, even if my cultivation is exhausted, I will save him." After saying that, he hastily asked someone to prepare a car, "Your Highness can't ride a horse for the time being, we still have two days, don't rush, if you hurt the child Not good."

She was a little embarrassed, "You also know that I'm pregnant?"

Cui smiled, "If we are witches, if we don't even have this ability, we won't be able to stay in Chang'an." Helping her to get on the chariot, she asked again, "I heard that the Sutra of the Dead has been found? Now? where?"

She said: "I just found out a few days ago that the scriptures have been hidden in my aunt's belongings. I just gave them to her and asked him to take them back to the Jingu Palace." She looked at Cuiwei, "madam, is there any?" grasp?"

She hesitated for a while, "I will do my best, but with my cultivation base, it is not known whether I can control the Sutra of Crossing the Dead." She twitched the corners of her mouth embarrassingly, "The past days are just passing by. Today, we should have worked harder in the first place.”

So she didn't dare to talk too much, after all, Lin Yuan is the only person in this world who can wake up a hundred-year-old soul with half of the scriptures.Now the situation is reversed, who can save him?

Lian Deng was worried, and turned his head to look at the rapidly retreating mountains and trees outside the window, his heart was full of obscurity.Cuiwei comforted her, and she managed to pull herself together to answer a few words, feeling anxious and hoping to get to Shenheyuan as soon as possible.

Seeing her like this, Cuiwei also fell silent.In fact, her heart is the same as hers, even if she was kicked out of the shrine by him and heard that he was in trouble, she still wanted to save him wholeheartedly, as long as he lived well, even if it wasn't her who was by his side.She had heard him mention the steps to use the scriptures before, and the priestess also often used spells such as evocation of the soul. If there were no accidents, there should be a chance of winning.However, I still can't make a conclusion, because it needs deep internal strength as a pillar.She secretly made up her mind that she couldn't do it, so she had to take some risks to force her soul into the master's body.That body has no master, but its cultivation base is strong, if it is lucky, it will not be a problem to use his hand to save Linyuan.

But doing so is a bad idea, she can't reveal too much, all she can do now is try to appease Lian Deng.She was pregnant, and the child was the continuation of his life, so he couldn't rush into anything.Lin Yuan is a cold person, he doesn't have deep feelings for everyone, even the people who have been with him for a hundred years, he just kicks them out.But for Lian Deng, his feelings are so strong that it is surprising that even if he is already too busy to take care of himself, he still feels restless if he doesn't see her.

The carriage drove up the corridor and climbed all the way up. When it was about to reach the palace gate, I saw a person in the distance, standing alone with purple clothes and white hair.She was surprised when she saw him like this at first, and asked Lian Deng, Lian Deng nodded, "It turned white all night."

She was used to seeing his arrogant appearance, but when she suddenly found out that he had fallen to this point, she felt miserable.Probably he didn't expect her to come, he was only busy receiving the lotus lantern.When she got out of the car, he was obviously a little surprised.

She called her senior brother, "Why do you..."

His brows were gentle, not as sharp as before.It's been a while since what happened last time, now that Lian Deng is pregnant again, his resentment has faded a lot, and he just nodded when he saw her, "Are you here?"

He doesn't look old, but his silver hair has a coquettish beauty.It's a pity that this kind of beauty is too bleak, she choked up, "How do you feel now?"

His tone was relaxed, "Everything is as usual. Don't stand outside, go in!"

This morning, he realized that there was something wrong with his body, so he calculated carefully. He lived for 140 years, which is the end of his life. He should have passed away without any pain just like Master.Death didn't mean much to him, but because of the sudden concern, he became extremely afraid.In fact, facing it safely and shrinking back, the result is the same.He felt sad, so he calmed down and meditated for a while, and gradually he thought about it again.Nothing can be done now, so what can I do in a hurry?Let the Lingtai Langs try it first, if it doesn't work, you have to wait for the opportunity in the future, maybe a person will appear, and it's unknown to wake him up in a wrong way.

They all looked like the sky was falling, which made him sad.He said it doesn't matter, "The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, everything will follow fate." He said to Cuiwei, "After running for a long time, go and rest for a while. A banquet will be prepared in the evening, and we will have a reunion dinner together."

Cuiwei's nose soured and she almost shed tears.Nodding reluctantly, she turned and went to her bedroom.

"You're just looking for Cuiwei?" He sighed, and took Lian Deng's hand, "The car bumped a lot, did you vomit?"

She said no, and rubbed her belly to force a smile, "Bao'er knows that today is different from the past, so she won't make trouble for Auntie." She looked up at him carefully, "Are you sure you don't have any discomfort?"

He smiled and pulled her into the temple.It's still the room outside his quiet room, with a light-colored oak floor, a low table and two brocade cushions, and the veils hanging all around, fluttering in the wind, which can temporarily make people forget their sorrows.

He helped her sit down, pointed to the palace in front, "You can see visitors here, last time I peeked at you here, if it wasn't for Jiu Se's betrayal, you probably wouldn't have noticed."

Lian Deng remembered that that time he asked someone to send a lot of clothes and money to Yuntou Temple, and she came to the shrine specially to thank her, but because he was shy, he avoided seeing her.Fortunately, there was Nine Colors at that time, and it took her around to the back, only to find that he hadn't retreated at all.He hid behind the door frame and peeked at the front hall, and they were watching him from the corridor, she smiled, "Thinking about it now, it seems like it just happened yesterday. You were so awkward at that time, and you were still the national teacher! At first I thought the national teacher was superior , It’s amazing, and when I got closer to you later, I found that you look like this, it’s really unbelievable.”

He muttered, "I don't want you to respect me, as long as you love me. I can be domineering outside, but because I like you, sometimes I can't control myself, and I can't help it in private, and I'm not afraid of you spreading it. Actually, on New Year's Eve When watching the fireworks at night, I really want to kiss you..." He smiled shyly, "I think your lips should be very sweet, but because you just ate hubing, it was greasy, so it will inevitably disappoint."

"You also eat hummus yourself. I never thought of disliking you, but you blame me for being oily?" She was a little dissatisfied, but his love was like a stream, trickling into her heart.She couldn't help but feel sad, "It would be great if I kissed you at that time, at least I can fall in love with you earlier."

She just wanted to love, without thinking about whether she could get it in return.He stroked the almost transparent white fingertips on the short table, and held her in his palm, "I also regret that the time we have been together is so short, and it seems that we are getting better, but in the end... you have to promise me that no matter what the future How, take care of yourself and your child. If I can’t come back, when Bao’er grows up and wants to know what his Aye looks like, you can bring him to see me at the Nine-Storied Pagoda and let him see how magnificent he was. .”

She was amused by him, "When is it, don't forget to brag about yourself." Putting her other hand on the back of his hand, she said sternly, "You are not allowed to talk about frustration, I begged Cuiwei to let her save you. Shan I can’t worry about Fangzhou and them, it’s much better to have Cuiwei. She is also skilled in Dunjia, one more person, one more hope.”

He paused and sighed deeply, "I cut off her robes and drove her out of the shrine, and now I want her to continue my life and bring her back..."

"It's a matter of life and death. Do you still have to consider the issue of face? Besides, she also cares about you and doesn't want you to make mistakes. It was Cuiwei's idea to return my kung fu to you last time. She was only for your own good, although at that time I think you know the reason for preventing me from seeing you. The matter is over, so don’t hold on to it. Since there is no other way, why don’t you try? In this world, apart from you, I’m afraid there is no better She has grown into a deeper person."

After hearing this, he was powerless to refute. This kind of pass really shouldn't be poor, and the most urgent thing is to let him live and be with his wife and children.

In the evening, everyone sat around together, together with Cuiwei, Lingtailang and Lu Qing, just as he said, they haven't had a meal in so many years, and when it's time to say goodbye, they have to get together no matter what.

The meal was not lively, everyone's face was covered with gloom, but it was him who said with a smile: "If there is a fate, we will meet again, but if there is no fate, it is my fate. Don't blame others. I have nothing else to worry about, only the lotus lantern and My child, in case the sutra cannot save me, please take care of me."

Everyone stood up, bowed their hands respectfully, and accepted the order, "Your subordinates must swear allegiance to His Highness and the young master to the death, please rest assured."

Lian Deng sat aside and didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.In her short 16 years of life, she has experienced four deaths, from her mother to Aye, and then to her child, who is now her favorite person.Sometimes she can't find the reason why she should live, is it just to send them away one by one?When did her tragedy end?If he can't come back, she can't even follow him, because she still has a child, and she will continue to live in the hope of saving him. This kind of life...is really meaningless.

She bowed her head and sighed, helpless to herself.He couldn't sleep peacefully for a day and two nights. On the third morning, he took a nap and dreamed that his altar was on fire. He was surrounded and couldn't get out. He could only look at her sadly through the flames.She opened her eyes in shock, but there was no one on the couch beside her.Turning over quickly to search, there was noise from the next door, she ran over to look, he tucked his hands around in front of the jade coffin, saw her coming, turned and told Fuju, "Send Your Highness out!"

The time has come, he himself has a premonition.If you don't want her to cry, just don't look at him, maybe she will feel better.

Fuju went to help her, but she raised her hand and refused, panting in pain and said: "Don't let me go, I want to accompany you."

The Lingtai Langs retreated quietly, allowing them to say goodbye alone.He had no other choice, and said embarrassingly, "Do you want to watch me lie in the coffin? I'm afraid I'll scare you."

Her internal organs were brutally crushed and shattered into fine powder long ago.He didn't understand that nothing frightened her more than losing him.She was afraid that he would be upset, so she tried to pretend to be calm, "Why did you lie in the coffin? You just took a short nap, and you will wake up soon. It's unlucky to lie in a coffin!"

He said: "In case I can't wake up, so as not to move..."

She said nonsense, "You will wake up, Bao'er and I are waiting for you. You said that you would take us to Zhangye, but if you dare to say nothing, I will cremate you, so that you will never be beautiful again! "

He was dumbfounded, knowing that she was terribly frightened, so he deliberately bluffed.He's going to be cremated... that sounds scary.He lay down on the red sandalwood roll-head couch, and said with a smile: "Forget it, I heard you right... This time, I'm really waiting to die."

She dragged a bed and sat beside him, straightened his clothes and said, "Tell me something, about your childhood."

He closed his eyes and said in a very slow tone: "I vaguely remember that my home is in Quchi, next to the Furong Garden. Every dark in the Furong Garden, there will be music and music. In summer, I sit on the steps. , while listening to the music, while looking at the stars in the sky. When the evening wind blows, it is no more sultry than the daytime. That is the happiest time for me. I like listening to music. If there are no later things, I think I will enter the opera garden and become a Court musicians... There are many families in Quchi who cultivate all kinds of flowers and supply them to Furong Garden. My Ye Niang seems to be a flower farmer. In my memory, there are flowers and plants everywhere, which are always prosperous all year round. When I was young, I liked to ask My mother, where do I come from. My mother was impatient with me and said that I grew out of the stamens. Later, I discussed with my two elder brothers and wanted a little sister, so I planted two red medicine plants each. Unfortunately, It withered before the winter..."

His voice gradually became low, and in the end it was almost inaudible. Lian Deng's heart also sank, and he lay on the edge of the couch, not daring to raise his head.I always thought that he would continue after taking a breath, but after waiting for a long time, there was still no sound.She mustered up the courage to look at his face, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, because he missed his childhood, there was still a peaceful smile on his face.She could hardly control her limbs, trembling and convulsing, calling him softly, but he could no longer answer her.She bent down to listen to his breath, only to hear the beating of her own heart, which was deafening.

She sat down and threw herself on his chest, weeping bitterly.
