Collapse 3: The girl who chased the fire moth

Otherwise, these girls are nothing more than marrying an honest and responsible family, or relying on their beauty to become concubines in an official's family.

As for the main wife, it's not something they should think about from their background.

But there are always people who are dissatisfied, and Tang Cairen also understands, but some people's acting skills are too exaggerated.

When she was still a picker girl, Zhou Baolin, who lived with her, "accidentally" broke the cup while pouring water for the emperor in order to attract the emperor's attention.

(Tairen, Baolin, and Cainu are all at the level of concubines)

Although the emperor did not respond, the empress was furious, and then...

At that time, Tang Cainu never saw Zhou Baolin again.

Since then, people around have discovered that Tang Cainu has become more and more Buddhist, and they almost eat fast and chant Buddha every day.

Unexpectedly, this was valued by the empress, who had always been gentle and fond of Buddhism, and was promoted to talent within a few years.

But no matter what, the queen would not take the initiative to find a woman for her husband, so although Tang Cairen's level has been raised, the emperor has indeed not seen him a few times.

Maybe it will be like this for the rest of my life.

While Tang Cairen was thinking this way, he picked up the broom and began to sweep the floor.

This wasn't her job, but today her maid was sick and had nothing to do, so she just swept the floor.

"...Are you a court lady?"

However, a deep voice suddenly came to mind, causing Tang Cairen's hand holding the broom to stop.

Then the next second, she knelt on the ground.

"Back to the emperor, this concubine is a talented person, Tang family."

Although he couldn't see his face, there was only one man who could move freely in the harem at this time.

"Talented people? Talented people sweep the floor, this is the first time I've seen them."

The emperor shook his head,

"Is no one responsible for the sundries on your side?"

"Back to the emperor, my maid is sick... I'm fine today, so it's no big deal if I just want to clean it up."

Concubine sweeping the floor... It's really hard to see.

Especially for concubines who have not been thrown into the cold palace, no matter what, these slaves dare not let the concubine clean up by herself.

Even if the servant girl is sick, Tang Cairen will go to the eunuch who is in charge here and tell her, and someone will clean it naturally.

"Well, the maidservant Guanyin said that although you come from a low family background, you have a gentle temperament and treat your servants generously. I am very pleased that this is indeed the case."

The emperor nodded,

"I came here this time to look for you. Is your hometown not far from Taixu Mountain?"

This is the purpose of the emperor's coming here.

According to the rules of the past dynasties, the emperor should go to Taixu Mountain to meet the real immortal.If there is no need to see the beauty, the dynasty may collapse in the middle and move the master again.

Many people said that the reason why the Yang family's dynasty fell so quickly was because the two generations of emperors did not go to Taixu Mountain to worship and disrespected the sky, so they perished.

The emperor never believed in these things, but the Supreme Emperor was thinking about this and always wanted him to visit the immortal.

The emperor was so entangled that he couldn't help it, so he began to inquire about Taixu Mountain.

Unexpectedly, when discussing with Empress Changsun, Empress Changsun suddenly said that there is a concubine's hometown, so the emperor might as well ask.

"Yes, the emperor wants to ask... about the real person?"

Tang Cairen is not stupid, the emperor said that Taixu Mountain is there, so he has nothing else to look for her.

"That's right, do you know anything? Rumors are fine too, just let's hear it."

The emperor nodded.

"Don't hide it from Your Majesty, my concubine..."

Tang Cairen hesitated for a moment, then said,

"I was fortunate enough to meet a fairy once."

"Oh?"

The emperor suddenly showed an expression of interest, and waved to the eunuch behind him,

"Xiao Lizi, bring two stools. Tell me in detail."

"……Yes."

Tang Cairen nodded, and was stunned for a moment when he saw the brought chair, but the emperor sat down and waved for her to sit down.

Tang Cairen was embarrassed, but he still sat down, but he only dared to put half of his butt on it, and his waist was straight.

"Tell me, what did the legendary immortal look like?"

the emperor asked.

"The immortal has long gray-blue hair tied into a ponytail. He looks no more than sixteen or seventeen years old. Wearing a robe with a cloak, although his appearance is young, he looks very majestic."

Tang Cairen said while recalling, this is not a difficult task, after all, she can't forget this kind of thing even if she wants to.

"Sixteen or seventeen..."

Hearing this, the emperor couldn't help being amazed.

"Beside the immortal, there is a... little girl who calls herself "Book of Cangxuan"."

Tang Cairen continued.

"Little girl? Are you young?"

The emperor asked.

"No, it's not... just..."

Tang Cairen thought for a long time and said,

"A small girl floating in the air. She doesn't look like a baby, but she has long flowing hair and decent clothes."

"Floating in the air? Baby-sized?"

The emperor was really surprised at this time. There have been rumors that the immortal looks very young, but there is no record of this little girl named "Book of Cangxuan".

"Yes, the concubine and the neighbors were also shocked at the time. The immortal was silent, and a lot of communication was actually done by the book of Cangxuan."

Tang Cairen nodded.

"The Book of Cangxuan...could it be related to Cangxuan among the Three Emperors?"

The emperor said thoughtfully.

"This concubine really doesn't know."

"Well, it's okay. Can you tell me, how did you meet the immortal?"

the emperor asked next.

"Yes... that was when my concubine was eight years old, and the winters were extremely cold in those years. Because of the wars in the early years, there were very few men in the village, and the only few remaining and strong women were used to chop firewood and farm the land. Difficult."

Tang Cairen actually didn't really want to recall the events of those years, but when the emperor asked, he had to tell the truth.

"It just so happened that in the winter of that year, the immortal stayed in our village because of the snowstorm..."

"Wait a minute, are you from the countryside?"

The emperor said with some doubts that in the drafts in the palace, basically people would not choose to go to the countryside, so this is not reasonable.

"My concubine's parents were originally from the countryside, but after my father got the honor in the examination, he moved to the city at home."

Tang Cairen explained.

"That makes sense."

The emperor nodded and motioned for her to continue.

"In the winter of that year, something happened in the village."

Tang Cairen lowered his head and said after a while,

"A lot of people died."

………………

ps I’ve read a lot of historical articles recently, and I’ve written some stories about the Tang Dynasty, and then I’ll pick up the main story (●°u°●)」

Chapter 27 The Great Tang II

"... dead?"

The emperor nodded, but didn't ask why he didn't ask why this kind of thing was publicized.

In these years, the imperial court initially decided that there were frequent wars and chaos. When Tang Cairen was eight years old, that is, 12 years ago, it is really not a big deal for some people to die.

"Well, at that time, someone in the village suddenly went crazy..."

Tang Cairen hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth,

"Not only did he go crazy, but his whole body changed, like a ghost... The most frightening thing is that he started killing people... His strength became so great that all the men in the village couldn't hold him down."

"...Are you insane?"

The emperor was not particularly surprised.

He was not born as a pampered prince who grew up in the palace. Even when he was young, his father was not the Supreme Emperor, but the Duke of the State.

Later, he followed his father to pacify the world, made great military exploits, and then launched a mutiny to kill his brother and seize the throne.

Three points are cruel, three points are resourceful, and three points are compassionate.

The so-called emperors, especially the emperors, are actually very contradictory people.

Sometimes the emperor actually thinks of the man who was killed by their Li family, maybe he is not stupid, it's just that not everyone can sit on this supreme place.

"Yes... Your Majesty, do you know?"

Tang Cairen was a little surprised. In fact, she didn't know it, but the immortal said it.

"Well, I also know some martial arts."

This is rather modest.

In fact, the emperor is not only good at martial arts, he can even be said to be a first-class master in the world,

"You keep talking."

"Okay, actually the scariest thing is that after that person got mad, it's as if it's contagious... Most of the rest of the men in the village have also become like that.

At that time, the concubine's father went to the city, so he escaped by luck. "

"And then? The immortal made a move?"

Knowing what to do next is the key, the emperor not only leaned forward, he wanted to speculate on the identity of this immortal through these things.

Is she real, or fake?

In fact, the emperor doesn't really believe that Master Chiyuan is really alive. Although he believes in gods and Buddhas, he doesn't believe in living gods and Buddhas.

In fact, most of the emperor's family is like this. After all, the gods and Buddhas exist in the sky and do not interfere with the ordinary world, so they acquiesce and take advantage of this.

This is where the so-called True Dragon Emperor comes from.

But real Chiyuan is different, she is alive.The existence of living gods would only make him restless for the emperor who had a strong desire for control.

"Well, the immortal happened to be staying in the village that night, and the concubines regarded her as an ordinary female Taoist priest, and the book of Cangxuan did not appear at that time.

The concubine still wanted to talk to her at that time, and the concubine said: It's a pity it's not spring, otherwise the guests can see the pear blossoms in the village, which are blooming everywhere. "

Tang Cairen nodded.

"Oh? What did she say?"

"I didn't remember what I said at the time. But my mother who was with me at the time remembered it. She is a down-and-out rich lady who can read.

Later, she helped me write it down, and I often recite it. After all these years, I have already become familiar with it by heart. "

"What did the fairy say?"
