Daughter of the royal palace

Chapter 98 Zhenlong Chess Game Reincarnation Mirror (1)
"What legend?" Ling Xihan was quite interested in this legend.

Ruoxue said with bright eyes: "It is said that a long time ago, there was no Baohua Temple here at all, but a very dilapidated temple, and few people stopped there. Later, a scholar came to Beijing to take an exam and passed by here, and suddenly it was raining heavily. , and rested here. Unexpectedly, I met a seriously injured woman in white clothes in the ruined temple. It is said that the woman is extremely beautiful." Ruoxue said here, dreamy eyes appeared in her eyes.In Ling Xihan's eyes, it is a typical nympho image.

"Ruoyu, tell me."

"Yes, miss." Ruoyu glanced at Ruoxue with a smile, and then said: "The scholar fell in love with that white-clothed woman at first sight, and took care of her carefully. The woman finally woke up, and I am very grateful for the scholar's life-saving grace."

"Then the woman in white made a promise to the scholar, and then stayed together for the rest of her life, making a happy story?" Ling Xihan cut off the words half-sarcastically.She didn't know how many stories like this she had heard, and she was already immune to it.

Unexpectedly, Ruoyu shook her head, "No." She expressed regret and sighed, "The woman in white disappeared strangely the next day."

厄？
"disappear?"

"Yes." Ruoyu nodded, "But on the second day, viburnum flowers bloomed outside the temple, gorgeous and resplendent, just like the morning glow. The scholar looked at the viburnum flowers everywhere, and felt disappointed. Because the woman in white is as beautiful as viburnum flowers Later, he improvised a poem, entrusting his nostalgia and affection for the woman in white on the Qionghua. He called it the Qionghua Fairy!"

"What about that girl, has she still appeared?" Unconsciously, Ling Xihan was drawn into this poignant love story.And I don't know why, when she heard this story, there was a touch of sadness in her heart.It seems to be for Fairy Qionghua and that scholar?Such emotions should not belong to her.

"Later, the scholar went to Beijing to take the exam, and the high school champion, the emperor betrothed the princess to him. But he was so infatuated with Fairy Qionghua that he flatly refused to marry the princess."

Appreciation flashed in Ling Xihan's eyes, defying power and courageous.

"The emperor was furious and threatened him. If he didn't marry the princess, he would be beheaded. Who knew that the scholar was also arrogant, saying that he had his own heart and would not marry the royal princess until his death. Although the emperor was grateful for his affection and righteousness, but The imperial majesty cannot be violated, so the scholar was ordered to be executed." She sighed slightly when she said this.

"The scholar went to die calmly. He only hoped that before he died, he could go to the ruined temple where he once met Fairy Qionghua again. Then he would die without regret. The emperor was moved by his infatuation, and finally agreed to his last wish. The scholar came to the ruined temple, but at that time the Qionghua had already declined and was no longer prosperous at the beginning. The scholar was sad and angry, and he cried bitterly. He immediately vomited blood from his mouth and fell into the Qionghua bushes."

Ruoyu stared at the forest with a gloomy gaze, and her voice was filled with melancholy and regret.

"Blood mixed with his tears dripped onto the ruined Qionghua, and the Qionghua slowly bloomed, and there was a faint pink color in the stamens, which was so dazzlingly beautiful. In the midst of the chaotic Qionghua, the scholar released Buddha Seeing that woman who was as beautiful as a viburnum flower slowly walking towards him, he closed his eyes in peace."

"It is said that the Qionghua bloomed very beautifully that year. On the second day, people found a woman in white clothes lying beside the scholar's body, as beautiful as a fairy. Her hand and the scholar's hand were tightly clasped, There was a happy smile on the corner of the mouth. There were viburnum flowers all around, and they were tightly surrounded. Everyone looked at that scene and stopped, crying. Later, someone reported it to the emperor, and the emperor felt that the relationship between the two was stronger than Jin Jian , buried them together here. It was also ordered to be built as a royal temple, and the incense has been burning continuously for hundreds of years. Since then, every year at this time, the Qionghua of Baohua Temple will bloom particularly brilliantly. Especially today, Because it is said that today is the time when the scholar and Qionghua Fairy met. Only the Qionghua that blooms today will have pink stamens."

After Ruoyu finished speaking, Ling Xihan was silent for a long time.Looking quietly at the mountain forest, it is said that there is a flower bed behind the mountain forest, and the viburnum is planted in the flower bed.

"Since Fairy Qionghua also fell in love with the scholar, why did she leave without saying goodbye?" It was just a legend, and she should have forgotten it after hearing it.But she asked such a stupid question, which made her feel funny.

"That's because immortals and ordinary people are different." Ruoxue's eyebrows were stained with sorrow, "The Qionghua fairy is an immortal, but the scholar is a mortal. It is against the law of heaven to fall in love with an immortal. Fairy Qionghua is afraid of hurting the scholar. I was punished by the heavens, so I left without saying goodbye. I went back to the heavenly palace alone, suffered the punishment of thunder, and then was demoted to the mortal world. I thought I could marry the scholar, but I didn’t want the scholar to die because she offended the emperor of the world The Qionghua Fairy was heartbroken and committed suicide beside the scholar. Her blood gave the land the soul, so the Qionghua in Baohua Temple blooms every year to commemorate the short love between her and the scholar."

Ruoxue said: "The Qionghua blossoms but is short-lived, just like the brief encounter between the Qionghua fairy and the scholar, the deep love like the sea, but in the end they ended up going to the underworld together."

She sighed slightly, as if she was regretting the unending love between Fairy Qionghua and the scholar, and also seemed to be indignant at the emperor who broke up the lover. "I heard that Fairy Qionghua injected her soul into Qionghua before she died. If a man and a woman are lucky enough to witness the fragrance of Qionghua when it is in full bloom, they will be blessed by Fairy Qionghua. The couple They will grow old together forever and be united forever.”

Ling Xihan laughed in surprise, "That's just a legend, do you really believe it?" Although the story was indeed touching, she only sighed for a moment, and would not believe that there is really such a Qionghua Fairy in this world.

"It's true, miss." Ruoxue rushed to catch up, "I heard that the emperor and empress saw the Qionghua blooming back then, so the emperor and empress have been very affectionate and loving for more than ten years."

"That's just a coincidence."

"No, it's true." Ruoxue blushed anxiously and chased after her angrily.

"You might as well just say that the queen is the Qionghua fairy, and the emperor is the scholar who met Qionghua fairy back then."

"..." Ruoxue choked, but Ling Xihan was already ten steps away from her, she quickly regained her senses and chased after her.

"Miss, wait for me..." Ruoxue's voice gradually faded away, and the figures of the master and servant also slowly disappeared into the depths of the stairs.

In the jungle, bamboo leaves are flying, and there are yellow and fallen leaves everywhere.Deep in the green bamboo, there is a round stone slab, on which is placed a game of chess, the chess game is intricate, black and white.Sitting around the stone table were three people, one in white clothes like snow, and their appearance was like heaven.A black dress is like ink, and its shape is like a frightened bird.Sitting next to him was an old man with a kind face and wearing a yellow cassock.
