In early summer, the trees in Zhongnan Mountain are lush and block out the sky. The river is gurgling and the birds are chirping. Horses are walking on the deep and quiet mountain roads in the forest. The sound of horse hooves is startling from time to time, causing the birds in the forest beside the road to flutter their wings and fly.
There are small animals escaping in panic, and the place is full of life.
The shade of the trees blocks the sun, making it cool and pleasant.
The group rode slowly along the mountain road in the forest, and suddenly entered this otherworldly wonderland from the noisy and bustling Chang'an City. It made people feel refreshed, as if they were relieved of their fatigue and felt extremely comfortable.
The mountain road winds, and suddenly turns somewhere in the forest, with the gurgling water beside my ears. A Taoist temple is hidden among the trees, with red walls, black tiles, and horns and cornices. There is a small stream happily flowing around the back wall of the Taoist temple. The sound of water
In the blink of an eye, the heat is washed away.
The scenery before your eyes is like a paradise in the world, a paradise in the cave.
Not to mention those hermits who are determined to cultivate immortality, even ordinary people like Fang Jun would like to throw away all the worldly things around them, and enter this immortal land for a few days without any worries to receive the baptism of nature.
Before arriving at the mountain gate, a maid in Taoist robes had already come out and saluted together with the guards guarding the gate.
Fang Jun kicked off his saddle, jumped off his horse, threw the reins to the soldiers behind him, stepped forward and said, "I would like to see Her Royal Highness the Princess."
The maid was used to it and was not surprised when she heard this and said respectfully: "Your Highness has learned that the Duke of Yue is coming, so he has ordered the servants to wait here to welcome the Duke of Yue."
The Taoist temple is small, and the distance from the mountain gate to the alchemy room is only about ten feet. When the guards in front of the gate saw Fang Jun and his entourage coming out of the forest from a distance, they quickly ran to report the news.
Fang Jun nodded slightly and walked straight into the mountain gate. Behind him, a group of soldiers led their horses to the gatehouses on both sides of the mountain gate to settle down temporarily. They tied the horses to the hitching posts outside the wall. Several of them were carrying crossbows.
He slackened his sword and disappeared into the dense forest outside the Taoist temple.
Since the last time they were ambushed by thieves, although they did not suffer any losses, these soldiers did not dare to be careless at all. Every time they came here, they would release the scouts in advance to clearly detect the movements within a few miles.
Be careful, lest the thief touch you right under your nose and remain ignorant.
Fang Jun stepped on the bluestone paved path in the Taoist temple, and was led by the maid to the alchemy room. He took off his shoes under the rain corridor at the door and walked in.
The mountain is quiet and quiet, and the alchemy room has windows on three sides, making it even cooler.
Sandalwood was burning in a white crane incense burner next to the coffee table, and the cigarettes were flying. The graceful Princess Changle, dressed in a Taoist robe, was kneeling in front of the coffee table, holding a book in her hand. She raised her head when she heard the footsteps, and she was so beautiful.
Her face showed a smile that contained a subtle surprise, her beautiful eyes were shining, and there was a bit of excitement and joy in her voice, and she said softly: "Why are you here?"
Fang Jun smiled warmly, bowed and saluted, and said, "I have met Your Highness."
Then, without waiting for Princess Changle to say "no courtesy", she straightened herself up, walked up to the coffee table, knelt down and sat down, looking at the incomparably beautiful, elegant and refined dimple in front of her, she said softly: "I haven't seen you for a day.
Three autumns apart."
Princess Changle's fair and beautiful face was instantly flushed with a blush, and even her delicate and round ears were red. She was a little shy, but there was a light of joy in her eyes. She pursed her lips and whispered softly: "Glib tongue."
."
This was the first time she had heard the phrase "One day has passed, and three autumns have passed", but she knew its origin.
He is picking kudzu, and if he doesn't see it for a day, it's like he is here for three months.
The pickings are rustling, and if you don't see them for a day, it's like three autumns.
He is picking mugwort, and if you don't see him for a day, he feels like he is three years old...
This is an eternal love poem in the Book of Songs. It was slightly changed and simplified by a man, and read out in front of her face. She was a little overwhelmed. Although the meaning was not as strong and unrestrained as the original work, it was more meaningful.
A kind of lovesickness and warmth infiltrated in it, my heart can't help but beat, and I can't help myself.
Fang Jun looked at the beautiful face in front of him that was both angry and happy. He couldn't move his eyes away. He wished he could see it in his eyes and couldn't pull it out. He couldn't help but sigh: "It is said in "Jingsi Fu", "How can such a beautiful woman die?"
Every time I read it, I couldn't feel Cao Zijian's state of mind. But now I know that there is a saying in the world that 'beautiful women are a disaster'."
Princess Changle was stunned, then her eyes widened, and she said angrily: "How can this be a compliment? Even though I don't read as many books as you, Lord Yue, I still know that Dr. Pixiang Nao Fangcheng!"
Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty favored sisters Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Hede. Not only did he favor the harem, but he was also bewitched by the Zhao sisters. He deposed his queen and sent her to death, and then canonized the Zhao sisters as queens. Zhaoyi was dissolute and immoral and rebellious. Dr. Pixiang Nao
Fang Cheng exclaimed, "This disaster will surely extinguish the fire!"
Because of the theory of the beginning and end of the five virtues, the Han Dynasty advocated the virtue of fire and called the Zhao sisters "disaster water", which means that water can extinguish fire and will bring disaster to the country...
Comparing her to the Zhao sisters who entertained people with sex and brought trouble to Chao Gang, they were naturally dissatisfied.
Fang Jun looked innocent and spread his hands and said: "Your Highness is certainly not angry, but this is the fact. You live in seclusion in the Zhongnan Mountains and are not in Chang'an, but you have been punished by your Majesty several times because of your Majesty, and your reputation has been dragged down by your Majesty, which is unbearable.
I heard it. This morning, I was almost hurt by His Highness’s admirer... Isn’t it true that all these things are thanks to Your Highness? Although I didn’t kill Boren, Boren died because of you. Isn’t this correct? "
Hearing him talk about being punished several times by his father, Princess Changle's face turned red. The reason why his father punished Fang Jun was naturally because of the scandal between the two.
When Fang Jun said that his reputation had been dragged down by her, his eyebrows were raised and he was angry.
Which of us is being dragged down by whom?
I live a good life, even if we are divorced, it has nothing to do with you. If you hadn't been entangled again and again, how could those scandals have been spread? Nowadays, anyone can say something like "Chang Le is Fang Jun's forbidden love" after dinner.
, I am not angry that my reputation has been ruined in my life, but you bite me back?
What about your face?
Do you want more?!
However, when Fang Jun mentioned that he was almost injured in the morning, all the anger disappeared instantly, and he said nervously: "Then where were you injured? Who is such a bastard that dares to hurt you?"
Fang Jun sighed: "Who else could it be? Of course it's His Highness's admirer, the 'Qilin'er' of Jingzhao Webster, Wei Zhengju."
Princess Changle said angrily: "How can I be considered an admirer? It was just a fooling around when I was young. You..."
Suddenly, he saw Fang Jun pick up the tea cup on the coffee table and drink all the tea in the cup...
Her jade face turned crimson immediately, and she said angrily: "You, you, you...how dare you do this?"
Fang Jun was puzzled and said curiously: "It was he who bumped into Wei Chen, and it was not Wei Chen who took the initiative to provoke him. Even if Wei Chen's feelings for His Highness can be learned from time to time, he will not kill every admirer of His Highness, right?
Even if you have this intention, Weichen can't do it!"
Princess Changle blushed and said angrily: "Who said that?"
She pointed her slender white fingers at the teacup in Fang Jun's hand, "That's my cup!"
It is orthodox etiquette that men and women should not be intimate with each other. Although it is not necessary to be so strict, a woman's teacup is equivalent to a personal belonging. Now that a man uses it, how can he not feel ashamed and angry?
Strictly speaking, such measures can almost be regarded as "blasphemy"...
Fang Jun was also stunned and subconsciously clicked his tongue...
This action made Princess Changle even more embarrassed and said angrily: "Rogue!"
Fang Jun disagreed and said, "Why should we stick to such common etiquette? We have even had skin-to-skin contact. This level of disrespect does not bother me."
Princess Changle couldn't bear it any longer. She changed her usual elegant expression and said with a coquettish tone: "What don't you mind? It's me who cares! Besides, have I ever had any physical contact with you?"
Fang Jun said quietly: "On Zhongnan Mountain, there are few moon stars. In the ditch, there are fallen leaves as mats..."
Princess Changle suddenly realized.
Back on Zhongnan Mountain, she was kidnapped by Changsun Chong who sneaked back to Chang'an. It was Fang Jun who rescued her regardless of life and death. After that, the two of them lost their footing and fell into a ravine, and got stuck in the fallen leaves at the bottom of the ravine to avoid the thief.
, indeed we once embraced each other at the bottom of the ditch.
This guy is not very honest...
Princess Changle's face was so red that it was almost bleeding. She was ashamed and annoyed, but she was speechless.
Even though Fang Jun had never said anything like "a life-and-death contract", when she was in despair, this man rescued her regardless of life and death. Faced with her request, he would rather let go of Changsun Chong, who wanted to kill him.
How can a few sweet words compare to the love and friendship?
