Chapter 2: Sayings ()

In the past, I heard monks in the temple talk about Zen, and the Buddha talked about cause and effect, and this life and the next life are all cause and effect. The Buddha also said that opportunities, and as soon as the opportunity comes, he will suddenly realize it.

Two months ago, Xue Chongxun suddenly got the memory of another life. Is this an opportunity? He couldn't tell whether it was a previous life or an afterlife, because that memory came from 1,300 years later: If it was a previous life, why would the previous life be in the future; if it was a next life, and the next life had not happened, where did the memory come from?

Or maybe before Pangu opened up the world, there was no distinction between heaven and earth, time, and time... Is there really a Buddha in the world? He doesn't believe it very much, whether it is Xue Chongxun in this life or the next life.

But that memory is not a dream, because it is too real. Xue Chongxun does not believe that people can dream of such a clear life.

... From Qianfu Temple to Princess Taiping's Mansion in Zhenguo, it was just a place with two yards, and it was not long before we arrived.

The sun is about to set in the west, and the last afterglow makes the world seem to be covered with a layer of gilt, and the orange-yellow streaming light is like a dream. The princess's mansion is made of the imperial palace, and the outline of the majestic palace is between the misty clouds and smoke, like a fairy palace; the lake light and water shadows radiate the waves like silk and satin, which are extremely luxurious.

"Everyone from all over the country will send local tributes to Chang'an with special personnel every month to present them to his mother. If foreign envoys come to Beijing to give gifts, they will definitely be a mother's portion. This family dinner will probably be eaten by Jiannan's mountain delicacies tonight." Xue Chongxun said to the young man wearing a large purple ball of flower silk next to him with a smile with a relaxed smile.

The young man next to him had a pale face, which was completely opposite to Xue Chongxun, who was tanned by martial arts practice, but the facial contours of the two were somewhat similar, both had a wide forehead, big eyes, straight nose bridge, and square face.

He is the younger brother of Xue Chongxun's father and mother, Xue Chongjian, Princess Lijie. Princess Taiping married twice, each with two sons and two daughters. The reason for the failure of the first marriage was that Wu Zetian killed her husband... In fact, Xue Chongxun's grandmother killed his father, but what are the grudges and revenge in the royal family?

Their family affection is also more flirty than the family affection in the hearts of the people. Just like the two brothers Xue Chongxun and Xue Erlang, they actually have a long relationship and rarely meet. Xue Erlang and his cousin, Princess Li Longji were closer. In the coup that overthrew Empress Wei last year, Princess Taiping and Li Dan of the current generation joined forces, and Xue Erlang was sent to contact Li Longji, and the relationship between their cousins ​​became one step further. (Taiwanese).

Li Longji's father, Li Dan, and Princess Taiping, the mother of the second brother of the Xue family, were both born by Wu Zetian and Gaozong, and were brothers and sisters, so Li Longji and Xue Chongxun and Xue Chongjian's relationship is cousins.) Xue Erlang is not as physically strong as Xue Chongxun. After entering the mansion, he was a little panting and his face became paler. He said with difficulty: "I come to see my mother today. I want to give some advice. Maybe it will make her angry. What family banquet will she have?"

"Since you know you want to make your mother angry, it won't be possible if you don't say it?" Xue Chongxun said casually.

"Don't vomit, you won't be happy."

Xue Chongxun shook his head, his face disregarded, but he thought to himself: Erlang has been gloomy since he was a child, but he has many hearts and is definitely not a person who talks randomly for the sake of quickness.

This kind of personality is not a disadvantage in dangerous wealth. Xue Chongxun believes that this may also have similarities with Xue Erlang. After all, the two were born by the same parents... However, Xue Chongxun prefers the word "hiding cleverness and revealing clumsiness".

While talking about family matters, the two brothers had their own thoughts and walked all the way into the inner palace of the princess's mansion. The eunuchs had reported in and took them through countless stone paths in the corridor to an open hall.

Going up the white stone steps, the spotless wooden floor appeared in front of him. Princess Taiping, wearing a long skirt, was standing alone between the vermilion palace pillars, looking up at the west side, while a group of eunuchs and maids stood far away from the wall.

The cloudy hairs decorated with pearls and jade and the luxurious long skirt make her look graceful and noble; and when those who know her see her, they feel an inexplicable pressure in their hearts, so all the servants bow their heads and bow their hands and respectfully.

"I'm waiting to greet my mother." Xue Chongxun and his brothers walked into the open hall, bent down and held a tribute and said.

Princess Taiping turned around and the whole palace seemed to be lit. The plump princess had high hair and dressed in high-haired clothes, a bright red pan-collar outfit, and a slow-tied skirt with half-exposed breasts. Her skin was faintly revealed under the gauze silk. She was already in her forties, but her skin was well maintained. With luxurious gold and jade jewelry, she was still very gorgeous under her dress.

"Come here, come to my mother." The majestic princess saw her two sons, and a trace of kindness appeared between her eyebrows.
