Chapter 424 Estrangement
The weather this winter is a little weird. The sun started to shine a moment ago, a cloud flew in, a cold wind suddenly kicked up, the sky turned dark, and the fluttering snowflakes fell. The carriage went straight along Zhuque Street to Mingde Gate in the south of the city, passed through the city, and followed the mountain road into Zhongnan Mountain. Li Zhi's guards followed behind on horseback.
Li Zhi sat in the carriage, climbing up and down excitedly. He pointed at the wall lamp and asked Fang Jun if it was made of new glass. He touched the soft fur cushion and asked what animal it was. A pair of eyes is almost not enough, he looks like an active boy.
Born into a royal family, what kind of luxury has Li Zhi not seen? It's just that the style of this four-wheeled carriage is too novel, and the decoration inside the carriage is also unique. This young lady is at the age when she is curious about everything, so she annoys Fang Jun quite a lot...
The Songyin Temple we went to was the same Taoist temple where I met Princess Changle last time and made the "Tale of Love Lotus" in a daze. Princess Fangling became a nun after she made peace with her. His Majesty Li Er thought of the brother-sister relationship and gave her this Taoist temple.
There were many different reasons why women in ancient times cut off their hair and became nuns or Taoist nuns. The majority of people were those who sincerely converted to the religion and abided by the precepts throughout their lives. The other type is forced by life and uses nunneries or Taoist temples as a destination or a temporary place of residence. For example, some prostitutes become old nuns or Taoist nuns because they are old or abandoned by others and have no other way to go. The third type of women just use becoming a monk and entering a nunnery or a Taoist temple as a means to practice "openness" and "freedom." ?
Speaking of which, the Litang royal family believed that they claimed to be descendants of Lao Tzu and respected Taoism, so there were many royal women who became nuns. Among them, there were many who wore heavy makeup, liked to hang out with guests, and were licentious. Of course, there were also those who truly understood the world and avoided counter-claims and harassment. exist.
It is also recorded in "Liuting Poems" by Changbai of the Song Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty: "Li Yishan's three poems "Bicheng" are about princesses entering Taoism. Many princesses in the Tang Dynasty were invited to become monks. At the same time, Yishan, such as Wen'an, Xunyang, and Pingliang , Shaoyang, Yongjia, Yong'an, Yichang and Ankang (the princesses) successively begged to be female Taoist priests and built temples outside, which was quite a loss of leisure. "
?The words "Building a building with an external view is quite unsafe" illustrate the essence of the problem.
The social atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was open and open, especially among the royal family, whose conduct was chaotic. After all, it is inconvenient for princesses to have "sexual freedom" when they live in the palace. However, the situation is different when they are crown girls outside the palace.
Yang Yuhuan, the daughter-in-law of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, had a private affair. At first, in order to hide her from others, she was also sent to a Taoist temple to become a female Taoist priest, with the Taoist name "Yuzhen". They frequently met in the Taoist temple...
In addition, nuns and nuns traveled widely across the country, and they could enter and leave palaces and private homes more freely and conveniently, and their contact with women was not restricted, which created favorable conditions for their sexual activities. "Eat and drink men and women, the great desires of human beings are preserved." Some female nuns and female crowns are inevitable. Romantic female Taoist priests like Yu Xuanji are by no means an exception...
In addition to heterosexuality, more people engage in homosexuality, and society is more tolerant of lesbianism because it does not destroy marriage and family, is not considered "disloyalty", and does not affect the blood of the children.
In short, it is not a good thing for aristocratic women to become nuns and live in Taoist temples.
Therefore, when Li Zhi said that Princess Changle moved out of Changsun Mansion due to discord with Changsun Chong, he was slightly happy, but when he heard that Princess Changle moved out of Changsun Mansion but moved into Princess Fangling's Songyin Temple, he suddenly frowned. Brows, worried.
Princess Fangling's reputation has long been in the streets. She was caught having an affair with her niece-in-law by her husband. The husband and his men killed the niece-in-law. Then she reconciled with her husband and became a nun...< br>
Can this be a serious person?
Don’t let Princess Changle, a white lotus as pure as water, be led away by a post-modern woman like Princess Fangling...
The carriage followed the mountain road and arrived at the entrance of Songyin Temple. The servant who had been waiting here came to greet him.
Because Princess Changle, Princess Gaoyang, Princess Jinyang and other royal princesses are stationed here, outsiders are not allowed to approach. Therefore, not only are internal servants waiting at the door to expel tourists when they see them, but there is also a team of guards stationed in case of emergencies. situation.
In fact, when they saw this unique and novel four-wheeled carriage from a distance, the servants already guessed that the Marquis of Xinxiang was coming, and they felt somewhat embarrassed. Although the Marquis's future wife, Princess Gaoyang, is watching, and the Marquis is not an outsider, after all, Princess Changle is still here. If this causes any rumors, why don't they and their minions all hang themselves?
However, after all, this Marquis has a reputation for being evil, and if he blocks it rashly, he will be beaten for no reason. If his leg is broken, where can he reason?
The servants looked at each other and smiled bitterly, at a loss as to whether they should stop or not...
When the carriage approached, the door opened, and the first person to jump out was His Highness Prince Jin. The servants breathed a huge sigh of relief. Since His Highness Prince Jin was coming with him, no matter whether Fang Jun entered or not, they were not the ones who could. Those who make up their minds, even if some unpleasant words are really spread, His Highness Prince Jin will take care of it and it has nothing to do with them.
As long as they don't take the blame, these chamberlains are naturally enthusiastic and attentive. Even when Fang Jun got out of the car, two chamberlains came forward and held Fang Jun's hand affectionately to help him get out of the car, which made Fang Jun feel chills. , quickly shook off the hands of these two dead eunuchs, and jumped out of the carriage.
Speaking of which, he does not have any discrimination against eunuchs, especially these days, eunuchs are nothing, have no power and are oppressed. Except for poor families who are forced to live a helpless life, who would be willing to have their children cut off their descendants and enter the palace? Lost your own incense?
Li Zhi happily took Fang Jun's hand and entered the Taoist temple.
There is clear snow in the sky, the ancient trees in the Taoist temple are towering, the pines and cypresses are green, and most of the buildings are simple and solemn, with a solemn and ancient atmosphere.
A slim figure appeared at the door of a side room.
Li Zhi immediately let go of Fang Jun's hand, ran over like a happy rabbit, and shouted happily: "Sister!"
It is Princess Li Lizhi of Changle.
Princess Changle was startled by the sudden shout. She calmed down and found Li Zhi running over. She was surprised and said: "Zhinu, why are you here?"
Li Zhi ran to Princess Changle, threw himself into the princess's arms affectionately, stretched out his arms around her waist, and shouted: "My father and I asked for leave to see you, and it was my brother-in-law who brought me here!"
"Brother-in-law?" Princess Changle was slightly stunned. She looked up at Fang Jun not far away, and then realized that there was another person.
"I have met Her Highness the Princess." Fang Jun took a step forward, bowed slightly, and raised his hand to salute.
"No need to be too polite, Marquis Xinxiang. Thank you very much for escorting your young brother all the way. I will take care of you when you get here. Marquis Xinxiang can go back without worries. I will not send you far away."
Princess Changle was as beautiful as a willow, her eyes were lowered, and she gave Fang Jun a blessing gift dignifiedly. Her beautiful face was as beautiful as ever, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she actually issued an eviction order...
Fang Jun was shocked. This beautiful and intelligent princess was so rude?
Touching his nose in embarrassment, Fang Jun smiled bitterly and said, "That's it, I'll say goodbye to you."
It is inevitable that I feel a little depressed...
If he said he had no thoughts about Princess Changle, who was as pure and beautiful as a white lotus in the water, he would be deceiving himself, but Fang Jun was not so dirty as to want to do anything to a married woman.
She just wanted to get closer to this cold-hearted princess.
Speaking of which, since time travel, I have encountered countless peerless celebrities, but Princess Changle is the most suitable for Fang Jun's aesthetics. Not to mention the unparalleled beauty and delicate appearance, just the soft appearance but strong inner character, dignified and virtuous temperament, is enough to attract Fang Jun...
But it seems that I don't have a good impression in this person's mind. It's probably because of the abrupt article "Ai Lian Shuo" I wrote last time I met him. Fang Jun could imagine that if Changsun Chong was a very jealous guy, just because of such a short article, he would be able to come up with many conjectures that are not suitable for children.
Maybe there was some trouble between the husband and wife because of this.
Even this time the husband and wife were at odds, it was not without this factor that Princess Changle moved out of the mansion and moved into Songyin Temple...
Faced with Fang Jun's farewell, Princess Changle remained calm.
Fang Jun was a little bored, so he had to cup his hands and turned to leave.
Unexpectedly, the door behind Princess Changle opened, and a milky voice sounded: "Is it brother-in-law? I really want to hear brother-in-law's voice!"
When Fang Jun heard this, he turned around and saw Princess Jinyang's petite body coming out of the door. Her little head wearing an animal skin hat turned around, just in time to meet Fang Jun's eyes.
The little princess suddenly shouted with joy: "Brother-in-law!" She jumped down the steps in front of the door and ran over with her short legs.
Princess Changle was startled and quickly shouted: "Sizi, be careful of the slippery ground..."
Princess Jinyang ignored her and ran directly to Fang Jun. With a slight jump, she was hugged by Fang Jun who leaned down.
"Brother-in-law, are you here to see me?" Princess Jinyang put her arms around Fang Jun's neck and asked happily.
"Of course! When I just left the palace, I saw His Highness Prince Jin coming here, so I sent him off and took a look at our little Princess Jinyang on the way!" Fang Jun hugged Princess Jinyang and said with a smile.
"It's time to eat, and Sister Seventeen is here too. Let's go in and eat together."
"This..." Fang Jun hesitated and glanced at Princess Changle secretly. (End of chapter)
