Yu Wenling looked at the wind chime, with a gleam of surprise and conviction in his eyes, "Really? Really? Really?"
She asked three questions in a row, and then respectfully stretched out her hands for Yuan Qingling to place the wind chime on her palms with a pious attitude.
Yuan Qingling saw from her respect that this wind chime was like a light in the dark sea to her.
She also suddenly understood that in fact, when people are in despair, they need to have faith, and Fourth Master grasped this point before giving her the wind chime.
Not to mention Yu Wenling, when she first found herself in this dynasty, she would even forget for a moment that she was a high-level intellectual engaged in scientific research, and thought of seeking help from the false gods and Buddhas in the sky.
She thought of the junior abbot, who advocated that the end of science may be theology. This may be the truth, who knows? But it may be more of his inner expectation.
People need faith, especially in times of despair.
The most important thing is to conquer the heart. Fourth Master, you have achieved the ultimate in purity when it comes to picking up girls.
Yu Wenling hung the wind chime by the window and pushed the window open. When the north wind blew, the wind chime made a tinkling sound. The sound made by the copper was timeless and long-lasting. With the psychological effect, it really felt like the sound of the Buddha.
Into the heart.
She turned back to look at Yuan Qingling, her eyes were still red and swollen, and tears were overflowing, but there was a hint of excitement in her sadness.
Yuan Qingling also smiled, but the circles under her eyes couldn't help but become astringent.
The people in the palace brought food over, and with Yuan Qingling's persuasion, Yu Wenling finally ate.
Although she still looked very sad, she was comforted at least.
Yuan Qingling watched her eating porridge, but she sighed quietly in her heart. Yu Wenling was so comforted, but Lao Wu was not so easy.
After Yu Wenling finished eating the porridge, Yuan Qingling asked her to go to bed. Perhaps she was too tired and was comforted by the sound of wind chimes, so she fell asleep quickly.
Yuan Qingling stayed by her bedside for a while before going out.
When the imperial concubine saw Yu Wenling asleep outside the curtain, a big stone fell in her heart, and she sighed softly, "This is too much suffering for the child."
Yuan Qingling saw that she had also lost a lot of weight and said, "Concubine, you should also take care of yourself."
"I'm fine. It's just hard work for you to run around. How is Lao Wu now? I'm afraid he can't recover so quickly, right?" The imperial concubine took her hand and walked out together and sat down in the palace.
Yuan Qingling shook his head, "He must be in a bad mood. He almost didn't sleep all night last night. He went out early in the morning and used work to numb himself."
"Lao Wu is a filial child. He has deep feelings for Concubine Xian. This blow is unbearable for a while, but he has a strong heart and will probably be able to get over it soon," said the Imperial Concubine.
"I hope so!" Yuan Qingling said softly.
However, Yuan Qingling knew in his heart that the pain of losing his mother was one thing, and the guilt in his heart was another.
Sadness can be diluted slowly, but he believes that if the Su family had not been burned down, Concubine Xian might not have really been convicted.
From the emperor to the last moment, he still wanted to give her a chance. From this, it can be seen that if the queen mother had not been killed and the princess was kidnapped, the virtuous concubine might not have died.
Lao Wu had emphasized that he had set fire to the Su family, and it was the Su family's own fault, because he was trying to convince himself not to feel so guilty.
He wanted to get out of this negative mood.
But I'm afraid it won't be so fast.
Yuan Qingling left Fengqi Palace and went to the Qiankun Palace of the Supreme Emperor.
The Emperor's place is probably the place in the entire palace that is least affected by the death of Concubine Xian.
After seeing the ceremony, Yuan Qingling asked, "Isn't Prince Anfeng here?"
Eunuch Chang said with a smile, "They have returned to the Su family. They will leave Beijing only after the princess gets married."
The Supreme Emperor said calmly, "We are all detached from the world, how can we always live in a land that smells like copper?"
Yuan Qingling knew that the couple would not stay in the same place for a long time, and they were indeed happier than gods.
It's great. If one day, she and Lao Wu can be like Prince Anfeng and his wife, all they think about every day is what to eat tonight, how happy they will be!
"By the way, did they come back specifically for this matter?" Yuan Qingling asked, remembering the conversation with Princess Anfeng in Shangxuanyue Pavilion. How great it would be if everything could develop as she said.
It's a pity that so many branches have arisen.
The Supreme Emperor leaned lazily on the back of the chair, put his feet on the small table, squinted his eyes and looked at the string of warm sunshine coming from outside the palace, "That's not necessarily the case. Something happened to Princess An before, so they also stopped by.
Come back and have a look.”
When Yuan Qingling heard about the Su family, she thought it was the Su family of the Concubine Xian. She was startled for a moment and then remembered that it was the natal family of Princess Anfeng.
Mr. Chang said, "Mr. Su Laohou will die in two days. They brought him back to worship him."
"So that's it." Yuan Qingling felt a little emotional, "I heard that the Marquis of Su State was also very powerful in the past. The Su family is the same as the Chu family today. Why are they all withdrawing from the court one after another now?"
"This is what the old Marquis strictly ordered when he was still alive. The descendants of the Su family must slowly fade out of the court. For at least three generations, if they hold office, it cannot be an important position. After three generations, they can obtain meritorious service and enter the court. As for the future,
Success depends on the individual." Chang Gong is fair.
Yuan Qingling felt that the old marquis had the same idea as Chu Shoufu. A big tree attracts wind, and having power over the government and the public seems to be majestic, but in fact it is surrounded by dangers.
In the era of imperial dictatorship, the emperor had the power of life and death. Once the emperor and his courtiers were in power, the Su family would naturally make countless enemies. Even the emperor who sat in a high position had trouble sleeping and eating, feeling that it was a great threat.
.
He was aware of current affairs, slowly faded away from his peak state, received enfeoffments from the imperial court, became famous and wealthy, and was highly respected in both the government and the public. This would be conducive to the comeback of his descendants three generations later. He was really worthy of being defeated.
The truth that extremes must decline.
On the other hand, if we look at the Su family, the natal family of Xian Fei, there is no sage. If the people in power of the Su family understood this truth, they would not be in this situation today.
Yuan Qingling stayed in the palace until evening, then took the snacks out of the palace.
The dim sum children were tired from playing and fell asleep on the carriage. Yuan Qingling listened to the sound of horse hooves and looked at the childish faces of the sleeping children, feeling filled with emotion.
Let's also say that since King Ji suffered a defeat in the morning on the eighth day of the lunar month, he has been staying at home. Chu Mingyang had just had hope, but suddenly it failed again. He couldn't help but direct all his anger at King Ji. He was furious.
Then, he yelled "trash" at King Ji.
King Ji thought she had something ulterior motives, so he became angry and slapped her.
Chu Mingyang had been spoiled since he was young and had been scolded rarely. How had he ever suffered such grievances? He immediately made a scene and made a mess in the house. King Ji was so angry that he walked away.
Chu Mingyang smashed a lot, cried a lot, felt that there was no hope in life, and was discouraged. He happened to see Princess Ji and the princess admiring plum blossoms in the yard. She was in a leisurely manner and was very happy with herself.
She didn't seem to be bothered by these trivial matters, so she couldn't help but get so angry that she even ran to Princess Ji and scolded her.
