【Chapter 395】The queen lured the princess to elope?
[Chapter 395] The queen seduces the princess to elope?
(0395)
In April, there was still a hint of chill. Fortunately, the wind and sand had completely calmed down and everyone could move freely. The originally deserted streets gradually increased. I don’t know when it started. Every winter, wind and sand would blow the capital from time to time, causing the city to be covered in gray, and the people living here were greatly troubled. Affected by the wind and sand, bad rumors were spread at one point. Later, the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang arrested a lot of people, and finally calmed down.
In the northeast corner of Beijing, near the city wall, there is an ancient and small-scale temple called Berlin Temple. It is named after the inside and outside of the temple. The old people say that this was migrated from the Berlin Temple in Zhaozhou, northern Zhili. As for whether anyone believes it, it doesn't know. Anyway, its incense is not particularly strong.
That morning, two young and elegant young men came to Berlin Temple. They were dressed neatly, with light steps, straight facial features, picturesque eyebrows, and holding sandalwood paper fans in their hands. They vaguely had an inviolable aura. If Xu Xingxia was here, she would definitely be able to easily recognize that the young man in blue on the left was the girl Azhu he met in Weizhen Fort. The young man in white on the right was Sawanna, Queen of Khurasan.
Zhu Hengzhi, well, to be precise, she should be named Zhu Yilan. She wore a blue scholarly uniform and looked slender and transcendent. She quietly covered her chest with a paper fan, as if she was unintentionally hiding something. She was dressed as a man, but she could not hide her beauty. On the contrary, she showed her very ordinary beauty. After closer inspection, her skin was as bright as the autumn moon and her beautiful face was more beautiful than the flowers. She was really ashamed of the orioles, as if she was jealous of the flowers! If she changed into women's clothing, she was afraid that this small Berlin Temple would not be able to accommodate her brilliance!
If Zhu Yilan is made of water and is flexible, then Sa Wanna beside her is a little harder. But when she sees her face as cream, her eyes as lacquered, her spirit is as clear as a slight lacquer, her bones are so beautiful! She is wearing a white dress and she is flying and flying clouds, and her black and blue silk is flying and dancing in a wisp of wind! Her skin is even whiter than snow, and her beauty is a little more transparent! She is as graceful as a geek, as gentle as a dragon, as prosperous as autumn chrysanthemums, and lush spring pine! Almost no one can recognize her, she turns out to be a woman!
The two of them came together, which was a perfect match. Some people kept turning around and secretly praised their charm. Even the monks in the temple felt a little ashamed to see them. They had long given up their stinky skin and had no worries, but they still had this feeling. It can only be said that the two were too handsome, so that they could not calm their minds. Such a natural person is indeed worth looking at them. Of course, no one would come up to talk to them boredly. The so-called "do not look at them inappropriately, and do not move them in the right way."
Near the Berlin Temple is the Imperial College and the Confucian Temple. The people who come and go are generally scholars. They still remember all kinds of etiquette. It seems that there are quite a few young scholars dressed like "they". Therefore, neither the pilgrims nor the monks in the temple noticed the unusualness of the two. Their only feeling is that these two young masters are so handsome.
"please!"
"please!"
The two smiled and gave in to each other, and entered a Zen room in Berlin Temple.
At that time, there were meditation rooms for rent in temples of all sizes in the capital. If the pilgrims were tired, they could take a break in the meditation room. If they were interested, they could also taste the fragrant tea from the temple and wash the fat intestines in the belly. Of course, if you want to meditate and practice in the meditation room and get the Buddha spirit of the monks, that would be fine.
Because of a certain person's relationship and a common topic, Sawanna became good friends with Zhu Yilan after she came to the capital. This is not the first time they have arrived in a place like Berlin Temple. They are already familiar with everything here. After entering the Zen room, Zhu Yilan took out the tea leaves she brought with her and made tea meticulously. Sawanna walked around the Zen room, studying the scriptures and calligraphy on the wall with great interest. Unfortunately, without Zhu Yilan's guidance, she could not understand at all. It was completely two worlds!
Logically speaking, as a princess, Zhu Yilan cannot run around. The Ming Dynasty royal family still looked at their own people very closely. If you give you good food, dress well, and play well, you cannot run around. To put it bluntly, it is similar to raising pigs. Every royal family can only grow on their own acre of one acre of three-century land. If you leave this acre of three-century land, you will be severely punished. However, thinking of her father's bumpy first half of his life, there is a younger brother who only likes to be a carpenter, and everything is obviously not understood by common sense.
In fact, until now, Zhu Yilan has not had a formal title of princess. In a strict sense, she does not even have the identity of a royal child. Without a title, she naturally has no name. Without a name, there will be no relevant treatment. This is strictly stipulated by the Zongren Mansion. What most members of the Ming Dynasty royal family fear most are not the Jinyiwei, not the Dongchang, but the old guys in the Zongren Mansion. Because they hold the power of life and death and can manipulate the life and death of many royal members. If they offend them, they will definitely not have a good life.
Zhu Yilan's father Zhu Changluo was disliked by Emperor Wanli. As the eldest son of Emperor Wanli, he had not been awarded the title of crown prince for a long time. As the eldest son of the emperor, he was poor and suffered repeated blows. No one cared for or cared for, and almost couldn't even save his life several times. The most painful thing is that there were twenty or thirty years in between. Emperor Wanli always wanted to make Zhu Changxun the crown prince, but it was not successful due to the resolute struggle of civil and military officials.
It was not until the 29th year of Wanli that Zhu Changluo was officially appointed as the crown prince. However, even though he was awarded the title of the crown prince, his fate did not change much. Because Emperor Wanli still hated him very much and believed that his birth was a shame for him. He had no choice but to give him the title of the crown prince because of the heavy pressure of civil and military officials. It would be good to give him the title of the crown prince. As for his children's enthronement, Emperor Wanli pretended to forget it at all.
Zhu Changluo's fate was bumpy, and he could not even control his own life. He had no time to discipline his children, so he would naturally be herding sheep. Otherwise, how could Zhu Youjiao have the opportunity to do carpenters? He had been scolded to death by teachers of all sizes. The royal family actually engaged in strange tricks and tricks, so he was going to be removed from his clan's house, right? Because there was no teacher to discipline him, he could only explore himself, and he accidentally embarked on the path of Master Lu Ban. After the teacher was available, he could no longer discipline him.
Zhu Yilan was adopted by monks since childhood and grew up in the temple. She was taken back to Ciqing Palace after she was twelve years old. Because she lived outside for many years, she was actually not used to Ciqing Palace's life. Ciqing Palace's life is actually very sad and has no happiness at all. Even her own safety cannot be guaranteed. Think about it, any person can break into the place with a stick, so what is the safety at all (strike case)?
In addition, the master Taoist Master Tang Chen often walks outside, and she often runs outside. She also has another master who often takes her around. Relatively speaking, life outside is much happier than in Ciqing Palace. She is more willing to live outside. The last time she ran to Weizhen Fort in Ningxia Town, it was actually not the farthest. The farthest place she has been to is the Mu Palace in Kunming, Yunnan. This almost crossed the entire Ming Dynasty territory.
As for Sawanna, it is easy to use her means to bribe the officials around her and ask for a meeting with Zhu Yilan. As long as she has a squandered income, what is this little thing? The key is whether you can be a human being. Obviously, Sawanna is definitely good at being a human being. As a result, her activities in the capital soon became free.
Of course, as they are, it is a bit difficult to run around privately, unless they get the help of Tang Chenniu Niu. The people from the Dongchang and Jinyiwei will still pay attention to their movements in secret. They cannot do too much. Too much must be reported. Besides, if they leave the capital, their safety cannot be guaranteed. Don’t forget that Sa Wanna was assassinated. If Xu Xingxia had not appeared suddenly, she might have died. Therefore, they could only be active in the capital.
Soon, the Berlin Temple became a place where two girls often appeared. It was a little far from the palace, which was conducive to Zhu Yilan to relax his mood. Standing at the Berlin Temple, no matter how you look at it, you would not see the depressing Forbidden City. At the same time, most of them were beautiful women and talented people, making the two less conspicuous. If they were in a good mood, they could even go to the nearby Imperial College where there were some outstanding people from time to time.
"Little Lanlan, have you brought me any new things today?" Sawanna was stunned at the scriptures on the wall for a while, then sat down and said seriously. She had a big skeleton and looked decent when dressed up as a man, but her plump breasts were not easy to deal with. Fortunately, in April, the climate was a little cold, and everyone was wearing a little more clothes. Apart from Zhu Yilan, no one else could tell.
Since meeting Zhu Yilan, Sawanna has always regarded herself as a man and a man in the other party's mind. This can be seen from the name Lanlan in childhood. If it weren't for the relationship between the two parties being very familiar and a bit joking, how could such a title be? Although Zhu Yilan looks weak, she is quite independent in her bones. If she really makes her angry, she will definitely not play with you.
Zhu Yilan frowned and said, "Sa Wanna, stop making trouble!"
Sa Wanna straightened her body, posed as someone as possible, and said with a serious look: "Miss Azhu, you were wrong, you shouldn't call me Sa Wanna. My current identity is, Mr. Xu Xingxia, Mr. Xu! You should respond seriously, Mr. Xu, or Brother Xu, this is what you taught me! Don't say that you have forgotten it yourself!"
Zhu Yilan's cheeks suddenly turned red, and she said shyly and anxiously: "Sa Wanna, don't make trouble!"
Sawanna smiled badly and said, "Call me Brother Xu! Otherwise, I can call Mr. Xu! Last time you accidentally let me know, I feel quite comfortable..."
Zhu Yilan put down the teapot, stood up, stomped her feet quietly, her face full of shyness, and said in a low voice: "Sa Wanna, if you make trouble, I won't come out in the future! Let you play alone in the capital! Don't let others play with you!"
After saying that, he pretended to be angry, turned around and left.
Sawanna hurriedly held her hand and apologized as if she was pretty decent, "No, it's meaningless if you really leave. I was wrong, I was wrong, I apologize, okay? I think you miss him, so I deliberately made fun of you. I said you miss him, right? You are all puppies who tell lies! Whoever tells lies will learn from the puppies' barking three times."
Zhu Yilan sighed slightly, slowly sat back, picked up the teapot again, poured a cup of tea for Sawanna, and poured half a cup for herself. I don’t know what she was thinking, but her movements suddenly became a little slow. After a while, she gently put down the teapot and said with a sad look: “You are right, I am thinking of him, but what’s the use? What’s the use of you playing with me every day?”
Sawanna's eyes rolled and she said mysteriously: "I'll think of a good idea for you?"
Zhu Yilan didn't know what he thought of, his face turned redder and he whispered: "Stop making trouble. Elop or something, you'd better not tell me. It's so embarrassing! You can still come up with such a way! Why didn't you elope with Mo Rigen? Humph, the last time Mo Rigen came to Ningxia Town, was it just for you? He wanted to give you a surprise, but as a result, it hurt so many people in Ningxia Town, and the Ministry of War was in chaos. You have to bear half the responsibility for this matter! If I were a man, I had to ask you for guilt!"
Sawanna smiled badly and said, "I didn't make a fuss. I didn't say I elope. Morigen doesn't like him. Otherwise, I really elope with him. It was him who harmed you Ningxia Town. You should be the one who is guilty of him. How could you rely on me? Besides, didn't your family teach him a lesson? There are rumors outside now that your family shot Morigen in the darkness with an arrow..."
Zhu Yilan immediately made a big fancy face and spat, "What did you say?"
Sawanna hurriedly said: "I said it was wrong, I said it was not yours, but mys, okay? It was mys, who shot Mo Rigen. Okay, okay, let's not talk about anything else, let's talk serious. I guess I will return to China at the end of the year. At that time, you will hide in my car and quietly go back to Weizhen Fort..."
