The new moon continues and the broken bridge is reunited - Part 4 - The princess becomes mortal again(1/2)

As soon as they entered the main hall of Yuxia Palace, they heard the pitiful cry of the palace maid. The two people who didn't know what was going on looked at each other in confusion. A stream of smoke came from inside, mixed with the scent of sandalwood. Yuyan pulled Mei Niang into the inner hall. The princess's bedroom.

It was all plain green, so neat and tidy that there was no redundant color, which immediately stopped the two of them from raising their feet.

"Princess...Princess, why are you doing this? I have already thought of a solution. Why don't you wait for me?" The little palace maid knelt on the ground and cried heartbreakingly.

Princess An Ling seemed to be unconscious. She knelt motionless in front of the Buddha statue. She was wearing a spiritual robe. She was holding a palm with one hand and moving the prayer beads with the other hand. She was chanting. There was not a single hair left on her head and a ball of black silk was lying on the ground.

.If it weren’t for the little palace maid calling the princess, it would be unimaginable that the indifferent and noble fourth daughter of the emperor in the past is now a nun who has seen through the world of mortals and has been purified.

"Fourth sister, what are you doing...?" Yuyan couldn't believe what she was seeing. Her sister, who was fine a few days ago, suddenly became like this. Without getting a response, she turned Princess An Ling away.

A bigger accident caused her to fall to the ground. On the princess's right cheek, there was a long and deep scar, from the bridge of the nose to the cheekbone, oozing with blood. It looked like it had been newly added recently, and it almost scared her to faint. Mei Niang

Taking a breath of air, he quickly put down the hand covering his mouth and helped Yu Yan up.

"Go get the medicine box." She whispered to the palace maid, and then she recognized that this person was the palace maid who just broke into her room and tried to destroy the color forging. She understood everything in an instant, and couldn't help feeling regretful.

"Yes, I'll get it right away." The palace maid wiped her tears and got up.

"Stop being busy, it's not worth it, just treat me as dead." Princess An Ling suddenly spoke, her tone as calm as her smile that time, and gradually became colder.

"Princess..., you promised this slave to live a good life, why do you still torture yourself?"

"This is not torture, it is liberation. I have no right to take away my life from my parents. If my soul can be independent, I would rather give it to the Buddha. From then on, I will be with the green lantern, practice for a long time, not be disturbed by worldly things, jump out of the world, and leave here.

, I am lucky."

"Fourth sister, your life shouldn't be like this. You are my father's daughter. You should be the same as the second sister and the third sister. You must marry as a woman and have children. This is not about becoming a monk or seeing through the world of mortals."

"My biggest mistake and regret in this life is that I was born into an emperor's family and became my father's daughter." Her words fell with tears. Princess An Ling finally opened her closed eyes and looked at everyone coldly.

Looking at this world that is incompatible with her, she seems to have seen her mother's eyes without love when she was dying, slowly extinguishing with hatred, and slowly closing...

The princess disfigured herself and became a monk. She had made up her mind. Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother hurriedly summoned Sun Maoliang to the palace for discussion. At this time, there were only two days left before the wedding. No matter how calm her heart was, she could not help but have a little chaos. She knocked down the table with her palm.

The porcelain bowl on the table was scattered with pieces.

"Queen Mother, please calm down. The princess is young and careless, and she will get into great trouble only when she is confused."

"I'm really mad at the Ai family. If you don't want to, just tell her earlier. Why do you have to do it so cruelly that everyone has no way out? What good will it do to her."

"Go back to the Queen Mother. Things have reached this point and are irreversible. Please take care of yourself, Queen Mother."

"Take care of your phoenix body, can you solve the immediate problem? The envoys from the Kingdom of Jin have arrived."

"Back to the Queen Mother, at this moment, we only need to decide on a new princess to solve the worries of marriage."

"Where are the princesses to send? My two daughters are already married. One of the remaining daughters in the other palaces is ten years old, one is six years old, and one is less than three years old. How can I get married?"

"Do you have a daughter in your palace who is waiting to be married? The Queen Mother recognizes her as your adopted daughter, and she will be the princess of our court."

"At the moment, there are so many eldest daughters, good ones and bad ones, so there is no time to carefully select them. Besides, all of them are the apples of your eye, and if you leave them, you will offend anyone. The emperor has just ascended the throne, and you also know the situation in the court. The Ai family cannot take this risk."

"The Queen Mother is right. I did not consider this carefully and did not think of this. Please forgive me, the Queen Mother."

"Then you should think of another way quickly. Don't talk about sending palace maids or civilian girls as gifts. Those are vulgar and vulgar people who will only do bad things."

"The Queen Mother is wise, please allow me to think for a moment."

"Think quickly!"



"To report to the Queen Mother, I have a good plan in mind, but I don't know whether to explain it or not?"

"Tell me, at this juncture, what else can't be said?"

"Yes. I am brave, there is indeed someone in the palace who is the best choice."

"who?"

"Lu Qingyue, the embroiderer girl of Yuquan Palace."

"She? No, how can a commoner be so rash as to claim her status?"

"Don't be impatient, Queen Mother. Please listen to me slowly..." Sun Maoliang came slightly closer and spoke in front of the Queen Mother, frothing at the mouth. He didn't know that the people outside the window looked frightened and ran away.

Yuquan Palace

Mei Niang was repairing the colorful forging in the room. Fortunately, only one corner was damaged. She twisted the gold thread, brushed the cross section, and sewed it up stitch by stitch. She was concentrating on it, when suddenly the door opened wide, and Yu Yan rushed in anxiously, pulling

She ran outside.

"Qingyue, come with me quickly."

"I haven't finished embroidering yet..."

"Stop it, let's go." Pulling off the embroidery in her hand, Mei Niang struggled to break free for no apparent reason. When she touched the injured area, she couldn't help but scream out. Yu Yan quickly let go of her hand.

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay. I want to ask you what's going on? You want me to leave in such a hurry?" She covered her arms and changed the subject. Yu Yan's panic made her feel ominous.

"Don't ask. In short, the sooner you get out of here, the better. I'll take you out of the palace and leave immediately." Yu Yan grabbed her hand again and continued to move forward.

"Yuyan, I won't leave until you speak clearly." Mei Niang shook her head hard and stopped.

"If you don't leave, you'll never be able to leave again."

"What happened? Did... did something happen to Mr. Shilin... Mr. Xu?"

"No...no, it's not him."

"Is that Bilian and the others...?"

"No, they are all very good. Just don't ask, just listen to me. Let's go." Yuyan stopped explaining and dragged her quickly towards the door. Before she could step out, she heard the waiter's announcement:

"The Queen Mother has arrived, and Gu Xiangguo has arrived."

"It's too late. No matter what the queen says in a while, you don't agree to it, understand?" Yuyan hurriedly warned her, clenching her fists and stamping her feet. Mei Niang was confused and was pulled back by her to greet Feng Jia.

"My sons and ministers see their mother and queen."

"The daughter of the common people meets the Queen Mother."

"Everyone, please get up and go inside to talk." The Queen Mother looked cheerful and did not show any signs of strangeness. She entered the hall and took a seat, and retreated to the left and right.

"You already know about Princess An Ling?"

"After returning to my mother, I have been to Yuxia Palace and I already know about it."

"She should have been given death. The Ai family, thinking of the late emperor and the long-term mother-daughter relationship, have asked the emperor to send her to Qingshui Temple to have a taste of her wish."

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your grace, and forgive my fourth sister."

"Your Majesty, please get up. The Ai family doesn't want to see her like this. She is a good girl with a good face. Hey..."

"My mother is kind and my fourth sister will be grateful."

Following the words, the Queen Mother's eyes fell on Mei Niang, and she saw her standing quietly sideways, looking down, like a hibiscus emerging from the water, spotless. The falling geese and shameless flowers may not be able to compare with this elegance. It seems that Sun Maoliang's words are really true.

Fake.

'To report to the Queen Mother, although Lu Qingyue is a common woman, she is not an ordinary person.'

'how do I say this?'

'Going back to the Queen Mother, I have informed the Queen Mother about Lu Qingyue's background before. In addition, I recently heard some rumors about her from my cousin in Qiantang. Since important officials in the court are involved, I don't know whether to tell them or not.'

'An important minister in the court? Which one?'

'I dare not say anything.'

'What time has it been? If the Aijia asks you to speak, you will speak.'

"Yes, Queen Mother, don't be impatient. Please listen carefully to what the ministers have to say." Sun Maoliang led the Queen Mother to sit down, and then scanned the palace maids on both sides. The Queen Mother waved her hand and backed away, and then he spoke slowly.

'According to my cousin, Lu Qingyue's parents were just ordinary farmers, poor and rough, but she was born delicate and refined, intelligent and dexterous, making her an extraordinary daughter.'

‘Go on.’ Sun Maoliang did not comment on this point. When she saw Mei Niang for the first time, she also felt that her appearance was unusual.

'Six years ago, she suffered from a strange illness. She was rescued and brought home by Mr. Xu, the censor of the inspection, and caused quite a disturbance.'

‘Inspection Censor, Xu Shilin? How could it be related to him?’

'Go back to the Queen Mother, they have known each other for a long time.'

‘Maybe it’s because of Princess Anping.’

'The Queen Mother was half right, Princess Anping was indeed rescued by them. But Lu Qingyue and Mr. Xu had known each other more than 20 years ago.'

'Impossible, she was not born more than 20 years ago, how could she know Xu Shilin?'

"Back to the Queen Mother, I dare not say anything wild. Lu Qingyue's previous life was extraordinary. She was a rabbit demon called Hu Meiniang. She once opened Hu Ji Embroidery Shop in Qiantang and got acquainted with Mr. Xu. Everyone in Qiantang County knows this.

As you know, the location of Hu Ji Embroidery House is the current Lu Ji Embroidery House, and it is also next door to Mr. Xu’s old residence.'

'Such a good girl was a rabbit demon in her previous life? This is incredible, you wouldn't hear it from hearsay, would you?'

'When I returned to the Queen Mother, even if I had a hundred courages, I would not dare to deceive the Queen Mother and deal with it carelessly. My cousin lived in Qiantang, and his ancestors were from the same clan as the late Liang Xiangguo. My uncle was a classmate with Mr. Xu when he was young.

She is quite familiar with the family affairs. When her mother Bai Suzhen came down to earth to repay her kindness and was suppressed by the Leifeng Pagoda after the floods flooded the Jinshan Mountains, the Queen Mother must have also detailed it. Although it is incredible, it is absolutely true. When Emperor Dezong was still alive, he still married

Allowing Shi Lin to return home to save his mother was praised as a legend at the time.'
