Chapter 2856 Confess your feelings
The Crown Princess was stunned and nodded: "That's true, but His Highness Changle refused..."
Li Chengqian said flatly: "Don't worry about her. Marriage is a matter of parents' order and the matchmaker's words. How can we allow her to be willful? You should carefully select the candidates and go to the palace alone to meet your father one day and try your best to promote the marriage. The boss is not young anymore, how can I do it? Can it be delayed like this? ”
The Crown Princess responded, but she couldn't help but feel suspicious in her heart.
She had naturally heard about the scandal between Fang Jun and Chang Le. In the past, due to Fang Jun's friendship, the prince always avoided asking about Chang Le's marriage. Why did he suddenly mention it today, but with such a firm attitude?
I just saw him talking to Fang Jun very well, and the two of them were muttering in the main hall all afternoon, and no one was allowed to come near. It definitely didn't look like they were getting angry after the conversation had broken down, so why did they care so much in the blink of an eye? Are you talking about Changle’s marriage?
And he looked as if he was very dissatisfied with someone...
But he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
A few days ago, I talked too much to Fang Jun, talking about the fight for the reserve, and I was hiding my thoughts in my heart. As a result, I was uncharacteristically fond of the prince who I loved and doted on, and severely reprimanded him, which made him very angry. She still had lingering fears, knowing that there were some things about Fang Jun that she could never interfere with.
The entire Tang Dynasty knew the importance of Fang Jun to the Crown Prince. Once the Crown Prince could keep his position as Crown Prince or even ascend the throne, she, the Crown Princess, would be the most important beneficiary. Under such circumstances, how could she dare to interfere again? ?
*****
As the New Year approaches, nobles like Fang Jun become even busier and busier. There are constant banquets throughout the day but they cannot be turned away. They can only go to banquets one after another. Fortunately, he has a strong drinking capacity and does not have much. I dared to force him to drink, so I didn't feel overwhelmed after each round.
He didn't feel bored at all. Chinese culture has always been like this. What matters is a person's worldliness. The higher one is in a high position, the less one must be arrogant. No matter in the market or in the official career, everyone has his own circle, which requires careful attention. To operate and maintain.
Being worldly is not simply about being tactful, it is not about false flattery, it is not about simply succumbing to reality, it is about truly understanding the meaning of life and running a harmonious social circle.
Humans are social animals and cannot be separated from society. They can only actively integrate into it. The only way to show success is to handle human relationships with sophistication. If you regard them as burdens and fetters, and therefore dislike them and resent them, then Something went wrong.
Of course, after socializing with relatives and friends one after another, you will inevitably feel tired. Occasionally, finding a secluded place and relaxing for a long time with a cup of fragrant tea is the most relaxing thing.
The Zhongnan Mountains start from Kunlun and end at Songyue Mountain. They are graceful and majestic. They serve as the southern screen of the city and the great barrier of Yongliang. Among them, Panxing is far away and the deep valley cannot be explored. Ever since Laozi, wearing a colorful cloud suit, rode a green ox to the west and entered the Qin Dynasty, this place has been regarded as the most important place in the world.
There are dense ravines and crisscrossing mountains. Every winter, the trees and leaves on the mountains have fallen off and are covered with white snow. The clouds and mist are so clear and clear that it feels like a fairyland.
At the bottom of the valley surrounded by mountains, hot springs gush out from the cracks in the rocks. The hot air condenses when it encounters cold, and the mist evaporates.
Sitting in the monastery, opening the window and overlooking the undulating mountains that are isolated from the hunting north wind, taking a sip of a cup of hot fragrant tea in your hand, feeling the aura of the empty mountain that is left alone in the world, and all the hustle and bustle of the world is carried on your back. The white snow and cool air swept away.
……
"No wonder so many sages choose to live in seclusion here. The spiritual energy of the world gathers among the mountains, peaks, streams and springs. Sit and watch the clouds rise and disappear, feel the flowers bloom and wither, sigh at the impermanence of fate, and think about the eternity of heaven and earth. It can indeed make people happy. When a person cleanses his heart and spleen and removes impurities, he is infinitely close to the way of heaven.”
Fang Jun was leaning in front of the window, surrounded by mountains that cut off the cold wind. Although the valley was covered with snow, there was also a gurgling hot spring, but he didn't feel cold. Occasionally drinking a cup of hot tea gave people a sense of being in harmony with nature. Pleasant fun.
Of course, it may be that there is a peerless beauty sitting in front of her, and she is so beautiful and delicious that she feels relaxed and happy...
Princess Changle poured tea with bare hands, her beautiful eyes sparkling, and she was surprised when she heard this: "The Duke of Yue also understands the way of heaven?"
Fang Jun took a sip of tea and protested: "This place is filled with spiritual energy and beautiful scenery. You and I are the only two sitting across from each other drinking tea. We should open our hearts and be frank. Why do you call us 'the Duke of the State' so openly? It's not a big deal. , but I also thought that I have known His Highness for a long time and treated him with sincerity, so I might as well call him Erlang to show my closeness. "
Princess Changle thought about the ambiguity of calling her "Erlang" and heard him say "open your heart". Suddenly, her pretty face turned red, and she softly spat: "Who is so frank with you? It's so shameless." Disciple.”
"Hey!"
Fang Jun put down his tea cup and pretended to be angrily: "Doesn't that count? Back here on Zhongnan Mountain, His Highness was kidnapped by thieves. I couldn't bear to sacrifice my life to save him. Isn't it an exaggeration to say that I have to put a knife in both sides?" Some time in Jiangnan , I am in danger, and thanks to Your Highness, I went to the enemy camp alone to ask for help. I can also praise Bo Yuntian! We have lived together in life and death, and we have experienced hardships and hardships. Shouldn’t we be sincere and sincere?”
Princess Changle pursed her lips, gave Fang Jun a charming look, lowered her head to pour tea, her fair and slender neck and crystal clear earlobes were all red.
Back then, he was kidnapped by Changsun Chong, but Fang Jun desperately rescued him, and finally fell into a ravine filled with fallen leaves. This guy was dishonest and took advantage of his boss; a few days ago in Jiangnan, this guy encountered a rainy night. Assassination hid in his boudoir, and even entered the room to be honest with her.
Especially that night when they confessed their feelings to each other, the barrier between the two disappeared, but it also made her, who was dignified by nature, feel even more shy, embarrassed and at a loss.
As the eldest daughter of the royal family, she has received the most orthodox education since she was a child. Women have three obediences and four virtues. They smile without showing their teeth and walk without wearing skirts. They are most dignified and virtuous. Now that she and Fang Jun have mutual admiration for each other, this sense of shame is enough. It broke her.
If Fang Jun hadn't come to the door today, she would never have dared to meet him in private.
After calming down, he touched the hair at the temples with his fingers. He lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, not daring to meet Fang Jun's burning gaze, and said softly: "Why did you come here today?"
Fang Jun watched her push the tea cup in front of him with her fingers as white as jade, sat up straight, and asked: "I heard from His Highness the Crown Prince that someone has proposed marriage to His Highness recently?"
Princess Changle picked up the teacup and put it to her lips, took a sip and hummed.
Fang Jun asked again: "His Royal Highness is already very old. Just as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, the Ancient Buddha of Qing Deng cannot die alone, right? Even though His Highness has a noble status and a safe life, he must have children to support him, otherwise he will grow old and frail in the future. But it’s so desolate to be alone.”
Princess Changle paused, placed the teacup on the coffee table in front of her, raised her eyes and glanced at Fang Jun, then turned to look at the snowy scene outside the window: "What do you mean?"
Fang Jun was silent.
What else could he mean? The identity between the two people is destined to become a deadlock. No matter from any angle of human relations and legal principles, there is no possible outcome.
The best result is naturally to forget each other in the world.
But every man has a strong possessive desire. If he lets go like this, he will feel at a loss...
For a moment, there was silence in the monastery. The two people's eyes met, but they separated immediately.
Only the kettle on the stove made a "gurgling" sound, and clouds of white gas spurted out from the spout, filling the house.
Princess Changle's snow-white hands lifted the kettle and poured boiling water into the teapot.
The water is dense and the tea is fragrant.
After a long time, Princess Changle, whose eyes drifted out of the window, sighed leisurely and said softly: "People have to accept their fate. As the price of my father's political marriage, I married into the eldest grandson's family. I have been wronged but never resented it. Since I am my father, The emperor's daughter enjoys the most noble splendor of time, so naturally she has to make sacrifices. As a result, it is destined that no matter how much you sacrifice, you can't restore what you want to maintain. Now that things have come to this, I have long lamented and feared the marriage. I only thought about living in peace for the rest of my life, but I didn't want to live in peace again. When I met you...that's how fate plays its cards."
Turning his head, he met Fang Jun's eyes. Looking at the face in front of him that was not handsome but was full of sunshine, he suddenly smiled, like a lily blooming, and said softly: "Fate is destined, and marriages are numbered. Why do we have to get the same result? It’s good to just let nature take its course." (End of Chapter)
