White tea legend

Chapter 207 Insight into the Secret of Heaven
The main palaces of Xingqing Palace include Xingqing Hall, Nanxun Hall, Datong Hall, Qinzhengwu Building, Huacalyx Xianghui Building and Chenxiang Pavilion.

Xingqing Palace is located in the southeast of Chang'an City, so it is also called "South Nei".

The scale of Nannei is quite large. Among them, Xingqing Hall, as the main hall, carries important political and cultural activities;

The Nanxun Hall is used for private banquets or rests of saints;

Datong Hall has similar functions to Xingqing Hall, and is also a place for large-scale banquets or ceremonies.

The main building of Qinzhengwu was where the saints handled government affairs, while the Huaxianghui Building and Agarwood Pavilion were the entertainment and resting places in the palace.

The private residence where the saint worked and rested daily was in Yanying Hall.

Yanying Hall is located to the west of Zichen Hall. It has now replaced Xuanzheng Hall and become the official court hall.

The saint's daily office and daily living are here.

When the saint woke up, the autumn sun had climbed up to the eaves of Yanying Hall.

The sage was refined and fond of music, and would often search for good tunes to soothe his heart after the court.

Today, the sky is bright and the air is clear. The saint no longer attends the court to listen to the government. He sits alone in the imperial study, holding a jade flute and playing the song "High Mountains and Flowing Waters", hoping to find a close friend.

Gao Lishi always knew what the saint liked, so he brought a new volume of music and said: "Your Majesty, this is a new piece of music that I got recently. Please give it a try and see what the quality of this piece is."

The saint took the music score and tasted it carefully. He saw the notes jumping on the paper, like a vivid dancer, spinning and jumping.

The saint secretly praised in his heart: "This song should only be heard in heaven, and it is rare to hear it in the human world."

I can't help but be a little surprised by the author.

"Who composed this song?" asked the sage.

Gao Lishi replied: "It was written by Princess Shou herself."

When the saint heard this, he was shocked.

King Shou is as beautiful as a flower and plays polo well, but he doesn't know that she has such high musical attainments.

The saint was curious and sent a message to summon Princess Shou.

Not long after, Princess Shou entered the palace lightly, lowered her eyebrows and bowed.

The saint raised his eyes and saw that her face was as beautiful as a hibiscus. The scar he had glimpsed in the Huaqing Palace had disappeared, and he was a little distracted for a moment.

Seeing this, Princess Shou raised her head slightly and looked at the saint with charming eyes.

They looked at each other with a lingering feeling of friendship.

For a whole half day, the two of them talked to each other on the road of music, and the conversation gradually deepened, and they seemed to have found a long-lost confidant.

Unknowingly, the sun was setting outside the window. Gao Lishi saw this and reminded: "Princess Shou, it's getting late. It's time to go home and rest."

Princess Shou was surprised to realize that it was already late and hurriedly got up to say goodbye. The saint also stood up to see each other off. Their eyes met, and they seemed to have a thousand words to say, but they were hard to say.

Princess Shou turned and left, her skirt swaying lightly like petals flying in the wind, making the saint unforgettable for a long time.

Princess Shou left, and the sage ordered Gao Lishi to send the song composed by Princess Shou to the Jiaofang Division, so that the popular singer Xu Hezi could sing it.

Gao Lishi took the order and left, and soon arrived at the Jiaofang Division.

Xu Hezi looked troubled when he heard this. She has always been proud of her unparalleled singing skills and is unwilling to sing songs composed by others, especially those written by Princess Shou.

She said to Gao Lishi: "Eunuch Gao, my voice is not feeling well today. I'm afraid it will be difficult to perform the new song."

Gao Lishi knew his temperament and did not force it. He just smiled faintly and said: "If Song Ji Xu can perform it with all her heart, she will definitely make this song even more charming. You and I can cooperate again in the future. Let's rest today."

When Xu Hezi saw what Gao Lishi said, although he felt unwilling, he had nothing to do.

I could only watch Gao Lishi leave, thinking secretly in my heart, what is so great about Princess Shou that the saint could appreciate her so much.

But Princess Shou is the daughter-in-law of a saint, and Xu Hezi does not want to get involved in this muddy water.

Princess Shou walked back to the palace lightly, only to see that Prince Shou was drunk and the wine bottles were scattered on the floor. His usual reserve and dignity completely collapsed at this moment, leaving only sadness and confusion.

"Yu Nu, why don't you like me?" King Shou's voice was full of alcohol and deep confusion.

He reached out and grabbed Princess Shou's shoulders tightly, his eyes flashing with help, as if a person was about to drown and desperately needed a glimmer of life.

Princess Shou felt a pain in her heart. She looked at the man in front of her who loved her deeply, but now he was suffering because of her.

Her heart felt like it was cut by thousands of sharp blades, and every breath brought severe pain.

She knew that she had fallen in love with someone she shouldn't have loved, and that emotion was like a seed that took root and sprouted in her heart, unable to extricate herself.

"I know your pain, but..." Princess Shou's voice was weak, but full of endless helplessness and heaviness.

She tried to explain, but found that language was so pale in front of this complex emotion.

King Shou felt even more painful when he heard this ambiguous answer.

His heart was full of doubts and unwillingness. Why couldn't his love be responded to? Why does his concubine have thoughts that he doesn't know about? He felt that his self-esteem had been trampled on ruthlessly, and there was nothing he could do about it.

"What's wrong with me? Tell me! I'll change it! I'll change anything for you!" King Shou's voice got louder and louder, almost to the point of roaring.

His tears fell silently, and they were the most helpless tears of a man.

Princess Shou's heart was also bleeding.

Why didn't she want to tell King Shou that her heart had already flown elsewhere? But she knew that such a truth would only hurt the innocent person in front of her even more.

She could only cry silently, letting the pain in her heart spread to her limbs.

The couple were facing each other like this, one with drunken eyes and the other with tears in his eyes.

Their hearts were torn by the same pain, but they could not find a way out.

It was late at night, and King Shou finally fell drunk at the table and fell into a deep sleep.

Princess Shou gently covered him with her coat, looking at his sleeping face, the pain in her heart became more intense.

She knew that days like this could not continue, and she had to make a choice, otherwise she and he would fall into endless pain.

The moonlight was like water, and the cold light fell on the high wall of the palace. Princess Shou stood alone on the wall, looking at the bright moon in the sky, her heart was filled with endless confusion and pain.

She murmured in a low voice and asked the sky: "Why do I have to suffer such a fate and fall into this emotional abyss that I can't extricate myself from?"

Her heart felt like it was covered in ice, and every beat was bone-chilling.

In this quiet night, she felt unprecedented loneliness and despair.

She knew that her soul had left her body and drifted to a place that no one could touch.

In such pain, Princess Shou made a decision to end her life in order to relieve herself from this suffering. She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, tilted her body slightly, and prepared to jump off the high wall.

At this critical moment, an invisible force suddenly emerged and held her body tightly.

Princess Shou opened her eyes and was shocked to find that she had not fallen, but was surrounded by a warm breath.

"It's not like that." A familiar and gentle voice sounded in her ears.

Princess Shou looked up and saw that it was the mysterious man who had rescued her in Huaqing Palace.

He had a sinister face and an evil light flashed in his eyes.

His figure looked particularly ethereal in the moonlight, like an evil spirit descending from the sky.

"It's you again...who are you?" Princess Shou's voice trembled, and her heart was filled with doubts and confusion.

Ruiyu smiled slightly, gently helped her stand upright, and said warmly: "I am the god who came to save you. There will always be many difficulties in life, but suicide is not the way to solve the problem. Your life is so precious, how can you Can you give up easily?”

After listening to Ruiyu's words, the ice in Princess Shou's heart seemed to begin to melt.

She felt a sense of security and warmth that she had never felt before. However, she still had countless doubts in her heart: "Why did you save me? I am just a speck of dust in the world."

"Everything in this world, every particle of dust, their encounter is fate, it is destined, such as me and you, such as you and the saint."

Princess Shou was shocked. The person in front of her seemed to understand the secret of her heart.

This scared her so much that she dared not move.

"Don't blame yourself. Your so-called burdens and so-called emotions that cannot be seen in the light are all destined and fate. I can't blame you."

Ruiyu's voice is full of charming power.

Yang Yunu calmed down: "Can you tell me why I fell in love with such a person?"

"The past life and the present life are destined."

Ruiyu said, pulling Yang Yunu over, and the two disappeared on the roof.

After passing through a lot of fog, they finally arrived at a place. The sight in front of them amazed Yang Yunu.

The cities here are full of strange charm and vitality, and the buildings are simple and elegant, just like pictures coming out of ancient books.

On both sides of the street, a dazzling array of shops display various rare treasures, some exuding a faint light, while others exude an alluring fragrance.

The residents in the market wear colorful clothes and have simple smiles on their faces. Their language is gentle and sweet, as melodious as the clear springs in the mountains.

Ruiyu and Yang Yunu walked through the streets and alleys here, and Yang Yunu found that everything here was so unusual.

The residents seem to have special abilities. Some can conjure beautiful flowers out of thin air, while others can use their singing to inspire the surrounding natural forces.

All this made Yang Yunu feel surprised and excited. She followed Ruiyu closely, for fear of missing any wonderful scenery.

As night falls, the place becomes even more mysterious.

Ruiyu took Yang Yunu to a room. Inside the hall, a judge was sitting on it. He was Judge Youdu, who was in charge of the judgment of good and evil after death.

The judge was tall and dressed in a well-tailored black official robe. From the collar to the ankles, everything looked solemn and solemn.

The official robe is embroidered with fine silver threads, outlining the yin and yang Tai Chi and interlaced five elements patterns, symbolizing the ultimate order between heaven and earth.

There is a jade belt tied around his waist, and a string of jade pendants hanging on the belt jingle with every step he takes, as if to remind the world of the fragility and impermanence of life.

Wearing a towering black futou, it is inlaid with a piece of green jade. There is a vague mist in the jade, as if it can peek into the depths of a person's soul.

The judge's face was serious, his eyebrows were as straight as a knife, and his eyes were deep. The corners of his mouth were tightened and he was unsmiling, which added a bit of inviolable majesty.

On his left hand, there is a thick book, which is the book of life and death, recording the whereabouts of every soul. The right hand holds a huge cinnabar pen, the tip of which is stained with blood-like cinnabar, ready to draw the line between life and death.

The judge wrote for a long time, finally yawned, put down his pen and left.

Ruiyu pulled Yang Yunu and walked in. The judgment book was spread out on the table, and it read:
I am the judge of Youdu, holding a pen to outline life and death, and to judge the right and wrong in the world. Today, I will watch the secrets and get a glimpse of the relationship between the Wu family and the Ninth Prince. In the dark, fate is destined, the two meet, and love secretly arises. For the Ninth Prince, Wu was not only the support of power, but also fell in love at first sight. The Ninth Prince's tenderness and sincerity touched Wu's heartstrings, making it difficult for him to restrain his tenderness. This is fate, and love is inevitable. Even though the world is talking about it, the emotion is sincere and God knows it.

Today's verdict is as follows: The love you fall in love with is destiny. Wu's love for the Ninth Prince cannot be controlled by human power. It is an arrangement of God and the two hearts are happy. I hope people in the world understand that despite all kinds of calculations, true feelings are in people's hearts and there is no need to say more. This sentence is finalized, and a touch of affection is added to the book of life and death. I hope that we can continue our relationship in the next life.

After reading it, Yang Yunu was shocked: Isn't this about the incident between the sage, the emperor's grandfather and the emperor's grandmother?

"Fate is destined, and love cannot be escaped. Even though the world is talking about it, sincerity is known by God... What you fall in love with is determined by fate... It cannot be controlled by human power, but is arranged by God. The two hearts are happy... …”

Yang Yunu murmured.

"Very good, you have understood the secret of heaven, and your trip is worthwhile."

Ruiyu said, sending Yang Yunu back to the world.

Yang Yunu opened her eyes, and a new day had begun.

"Destiny is determined by God... What you fall in love with is determined by fate... It cannot be controlled by human power, but is arranged by God, and the two hearts are happy..."

Some sounds echoed in my ears, like fragments left in a dream.

The gloom in my heart was swept away, leaving only the determination and determination to follow God's will.

……

"Xiang Ming Yaxu", the white lady walked in.

"Sister, sister..." Xiaoqing hurriedly came over and looked behind Bai Cha, but there was no figure of Xuanfeng.

"Where's Xuanfeng?"

"Not found." Bai Cha said.

"Ah!" As Xiao Qing exclaimed, Ji Lan, who was entertaining guests, looked over to the two of them.

"White Lady, are you back?" Ji Lan came over and saluted Bai Cha.

Xiao Qing rolled her eyes at Ji Lan and said in Bai Cha's ear: "Sister, if you don't come back, some people will consider themselves the hostess of the teahouse."

Ji Lan was not angry either. She smiled at Bai Cha and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Bai, for allowing Ji Lan to work in the teahouse."

"Are you getting used to it?" Bai Cha also smiled at Ji Lan.

"Habit, thank you White Snake."

"Thanks a lot."

Bai Cha said and asked, "Where is Mr. Lu?"

"Your Majesty is going to make tea for the distinguished guests in the elegant room." Ji Land said.

Bai Cha nodded and went to look for Lu Yu, wondering which distinguished guest he was offering tea art to.
