The sky was wet, as if it was going to rain but wouldn't.
"An'an, I originally wanted to give you to Concubine Bao, but it seems that's not possible now." Huiping broke the silence.
"Princess, don't worry about me anymore. It was me who did this and caused the princess to suffer. Even if I die, it will still be my life." An An said sadly. She is still reluctant to die because she has a living little life in her belly.
is taking shape, this is the most beautiful thing the man she loves has given her.
"I've thought about it a lot, and you must know that you are not safe in the Queen Mother's Palace. The Queen Mother doesn't like to interfere with anything. Sooner or later, you..." Princess Huiping discussed.
"Yes." An An also thought about it for many days, and then timidly suggested: "Can I go to Jingxin Nunnery to serve the Crown Princess?"
Princess Huiping smiled sweetly. This was the first time she had smiled in so many days, "What a great idea. No one from the Imperial Concubine dares to move. An An, you are so smart. I really hope you can go to Chu State for me."
Give me advice from time to time."
An An lowered her head and felt very sad. If it hadn't been for that romantic incident, she must be the busiest person now. She would be the most considerate person to the princess, spending the long years with the princess in the Chu Kingdom.
All the hardships and happiness. Now, she can only stay!
"Princess." An An heard the footsteps and caught Princess Huiping.
In front is Jingshin Temple.
This is a small courtyard that can be seen everywhere outside the city. It is very old and quiet. From the outside of the courtyard, you can only see a tall ginkgo tree inside. It is really a bit unexpected for such an old small courtyard to appear in the palace.
Young Emperor Han Jie stood outside the courtyard wall, facing the courtyard gate. His body was wet with mist. It was obvious that he had been standing for a long time. His back was tall and lonely.
Princess Huiping had mixed feelings. First, she didn't know what to do. She could only pull a group of palace maids, turned around a pavilion, and waited patiently. She wanted to wait until Young Emperor Han Jie left before going to see the Dowager Princess.
.She didn’t know why she did this. She just felt that recently, she had become less and less aware of what her brother was thinking, and she was becoming more and more afraid of him.
Young Emperor Han Jie stood at the entrance of the courtyard for a long time and then left.
Only then did Princess Huiping move to Jingxin Nunnery.
The courtyard door opens as soon as it is pushed. The door is never locked here, but no one dares to come in easily and disturb the Crown Princess.
There was an old eunuch sweeping the floor. He raised his head and glanced at Princess Huiping indifferently, then lowered his head and continued to sweep his floor. It seemed that the bluestone floor was far more valuable than a princess.
Only in Jingxin Temple can there be such bold eunuchs and palace maids!
There are no flowers or grass in the yard, except for a towering ancient ginkgo tree. Although it is shabby, it is extremely clean, and the bluestone floor is so swept that people's shadows can be seen, which is very suitable for Princess Huiping.
Princess Huiping waved Zhongren to stop and only took An An in.
As soon as you open the door, you will be greeted by the tall Jade Guanyin, with its majestic appearance and great compassion.
The Crown Princess is meditating in front of the hall, holding jade beads and sitting quietly with her eyes closed...
Princess Huiping also stood there quietly, feeling the intoxicating tranquility of the Buddhist hall. It was a feeling of tranquility, as if everything in the world had nothing to do with this place. Here you could hear the slow passage of time drop by drop, which made people feel a sense of peace.
A sense of relief.
"You're here!"
"Huiping pays homage to the Imperial Concubine."
"What's the matter?"
"Yes, firstly, Huiping is going to marry into Chu State tomorrow, so he came here to say goodbye to the Crown Princess."
"This is not a smooth road, but you are good. Little girls nowadays are quite independent." Her last sentence meant something. Princess Huiping knew that she was talking about Bao'er.
"Thank you, Crown Princess. Huiping has a second unkind invitation."
The Crown Princess nodded and motioned for her to continue.
"This is the palace maid An An. After I leave, I want her to come over and serve the imperial concubine."
The Crown Princess raised her head and glanced at An An. An An felt that those eyes were unfathomable, which made her feel frightened for no reason. The Crown Princess frowned and said, "This is a common thing."
Princess Huiping didn't expect the Dowager Princess to say this, thinking that the Dowager Princess believed that Jingxin Nunnery was a place for Qing monastery and was unwilling to accept a wicked woman like An An. She was startled.
An An knelt down and begged: "Please take in the slave girl. If the slave girl is not protected by the Queen Mother, and is held hostage by someone with intentions, I am afraid that it will be detrimental to Princess Huiping and the royal family, then the slave girl will die."
You can’t atone for your sins!”
The Crown Princess has always been rumored in the palace to be a compassionate and enlightened female Bodhisattva. At this time, she looked at An An with a calm face and said easily: "Then you die first!"
An An was startled, but before she could recover, Princess Huiping knelt down and begged: "Please forgive me, Princess Huiping. Huiping will never dare to speak out again."
The Crown Princess looked at Princess Huiping with gentle eyes: "You are not wrong. But your future is bumpy and your fate is ill-fated. As long as you keep a pure heart, you will have good results."
Princess Huiping asked: "Stay pure in the palace?"
The Crown Princess nodded.
Princess Huiping thought for a moment, "Like Concubine Bao?"
The Crown Princess shook her head and said: "She is a woman of great wisdom, but she is too naive to be favored by thousands of people throughout her life. If you insist on being like her and not keeping silent about the world, you may not live to see her in the Chu Palace."
The day of the sun.”
Huiping bowed his head and accepted the instruction.
"After you marry to Chu State, do you still remember who you are?"
"Of course, I am the princess of Daxia when I am born, and I am the soul of Daxia when I die!"
"No, you have to know that I was once the princess of Qi." The Crown Princess looked at Princess Huiping with loving eyes. She really liked this child and hoped that she would be happy in the future.
"Yes, Huiping knows."
"If you marry to the Chu State, you will have nothing to do with Daxia. You can only regard yourself as the queen of the Chu State. For the rest of your life, you will be a person of the Chu State!"
Princess Huiping was shocked!
She went to get married for the country, marrying a person she hated very much. If it was for Daxia, for the queen mother, and for the emperor's brother, she still had reason to stay in the Chu Palace. If it wasn't for Daxia, why would she?
How can a bunch of women be doted on by a man they don't like?
"If it weren't for the country, I don't want to live with him. Crown Princess, I don't want to..." Huiping suddenly burst into tears. After all, she was only fifteen years old. The courage she had accumulated these days was like a beach.
The sandcastle was blown away by the wind.
"A person, whether male or female, must be strong. Only by living strong can you live a better life."
"yes!"
An An knelt behind her, and when she heard that the Crown Princess did not say any more words about death, her clothes were already wet with cold sweat in this cold early spring.
Princess Huiping thought for a long time and asked, "Huiping, can I meet that guest?"
The Crown Princess said: "He is a very dangerous man to all women. You are about to get married, so it is best not to see him."
Princess Huiping wanted to say something else, but the Crown Princess interrupted her: "Think about my words carefully. There is only one man you need to care about now, not your brother, not my guest, only -
-----Chu Hanlie!"
Princess Huiping said goodbye and got up. She benefited a lot from being here today.
