The wind and flowers are getting older, and the best days are still vague.
If you don't make friends with people of the same mind, you will have nothing to do with people of the same mind.
——"The Three Poems of Spring Hope" by Xue Tao (Tang Dynasty)

(PS: In order to make the story smoother, chapters 762 and 763 have been revised today)
On the first and fifteenth day of every month, the Crown Princess Dugu Xiaozhong would go to the Dugu family temple in Wubenfang to burn incense and pray for blessings.
On this day, it was the first day of the lunar new year. Dugu Xiaozhong's cousin Mei Rui accompanied the Crown Princess to Wubenfang. Deep in the alley, there was an ancient temple, far away from the hustle and bustle. It was the temple supported by the Dugu family.
Entering the temple gate, in the courtyard in front of the temple hall, there is a thousand-year-old ginkgo tree with luxuriant branches and leaves, and a crown like an umbrella canopy.
At this time, the ginkgo leaves are falling, and the golden ginkgo leaves are like flying flowers, falling gracefully and spreading all over the courtyard.
Dugu Xiaozhong said to his cousin Mei Rui: "Rui'er, let's sit down and have a rest."
The maid quickly took out the soft cushion, spread it on the stone bench under the tree, boiled water for tea, and placed it on the stone table.
The two of them sat on a stone bench to rest, chatting about household matters and bickering.
"The apricot leaves are withered and the duck's feet are yellow, and the Weiliu smoke cage is emerald silk." Seeing the ginkgo leaves withered, Dugu Xiao couldn't help but recite these two sentences.
Mei Rui joked: "Is this a love poem for my brother-in-law? Why do you recite these two lines every time you come here?"
Dugu Xiaozhong feigned anger and said angrily: "You damn girl, you're already a mother, but you're still so open-minded and talking nonsense."
Mei Rui stuck out her tongue and said softly: "You don't even know how intriguing your own expression is."
Dugu Xiaozhong glared at Mei Rui and ignored her. He turned around and saw the apricot rain in the sky and the yellow flowers on the ground, as if he saw a young man in white, standing alone in the void.
Dugu Xiaozhong suddenly felt a pain in his heart, feeling lonely and lonely.
Can this feeling be recalled? But it was already at a loss.
…
After resting for a moment, Dugu Xiaozhong said to Mei Rui: "I'm going to worship the Buddha, will you come?"
Mei Rui shook her head and said, "You knelt on the futon for half an hour. I'm not as pious as you. You can go ahead and I'll just have tea here."
Dugu Xiaozhong covered his mouth with a silk handkerchief, and said with a sneer: "That's fine, every time you kneel next to me, scratching your ears and cheeks like a monkey, fidgeting, it also disturbs my mood."
Mei Rui was angry and ready to pounce.
After playing around, Dugu Xiaozhong walked directly into the Main Hall, knelt in front of the Buddha statue, and prayed devoutly: "Please protect him from Buddha and Bodhisattva, and wish him good health and a speedy recovery..."
After visiting the Mahavira Hall, Dugu Xiaozhong walked into the Zen room on one side. The Zen room was simple and concise, and there was a pilgrim who was immersed in copying scriptures.
Seeing someone entering the Zen room, the pilgrim who copied the sutras would instinctively look up.
Dugu Xiaozhong felt like he was shocked by electricity. He stood stunned on the spot, covered his mouth and exclaimed: "It's you!"
The pilgrim who copied the scriptures smiled slightly and said, "Miss Dugu, are you here too today?"
Dugu Xiaozhong just woke up from a dream and said, "Master Bai, why are you here?"
Bai Fu smiled warmly and said, "I was wandering around the area and saw an ancient temple here, so I walked in. I didn't expect to meet a girl here."
Dugu Xiaozhong asked: "Master Bai, have you recovered?"
Bai Fu used crutches to prop up his body, stood up slowly, and said with a smile: "Except for the inconvenience of movement, there is nothing serious. Thank you Miss Dugu!"
Dugu Xiaozhong saw that Bai Fu had trouble getting up, so he stretched out his hand to help him and said with emotion: "I am no longer the Dugu girl."
Bai Fu slowly approached, leaned next to Dugu Xiaozhong, and whispered softly: "In my heart, you will always be the kind, beautiful, and unparalleled girl Dugu."
Dugu Xiaozhong's heart was pounding, he lowered his eyebrows and bowed his head, feeling shy and red from his cheeks to his ears.
Seeing Dugu Xiaozhong reaching out to help him, Bai Fu's right hand naturally held Dugu Xiaozhong's jade hand. Dugu Xiaozhong was frightened and hurriedly took a step back. In the panic, his toes slipped and he almost stumbled.
Bai Fu took advantage of the situation and hugged Dugu Xiaozhong gently in his arms.
Dugu Xiaozhong put his hands on Bai Fu's chest and said angrily: "Sir, you and I are both family members, please respect yourself."
Bai Fuxuan smiled evilly, stretched out his arms, and hugged Dugu Xiaozhong tightly.
Dugu Xiaozhong was horrified and struggled hard. But Bai Fu's arms were like iron hoops, hugging Dugu Xiaozhong tightly, unable to move.
Dugu Xiaozhong was about to scream loudly when Bai Fuxing closed his eyes slightly and kissed Dugu Xiaozhong's lips gently. He spat out the heat from his palms, and a warm current flowed down Dugu Xiaozhong's spine.
"boom"
It was as if a spark splashed into the oil tank, exploded, and ignited a raging flame.
Dugu Xiaozhong felt dizzy, his whole body was numb, and every pore was exploding, as if goose feathers were brushing against his skin, and spring breeze was blowing across the water...
Being held tightly in Bai Fu's arms, Dugu Xiaozhong almost cried with joy, feeling extremely warm and at ease. This was a feeling she had never felt since becoming a princess.
Thinking that there were other people outside the house, Dugu Xiaozhong felt even more nervous and extremely irritated. She instinctively tried to break away, but she was unable to break free, or she didn't want to break free at all.
…
After a moment, Bai Fu let go of Dugu Xiaozhong's lips. Dugu Xiaozhong said angrily: "Brother Fu, how dare you?!"
"Shh", Bai Fu gently put his finger on Dugu Xiaozhong's lips and touched it gently. Dugu Xiaozhong suddenly felt that ice cubes were sliding across his lips, giving him a slight chill.
Bai Fu put his head on Dugu Xiaozhong's neck, teased Dugu Xiaozhong's magnolia earlobes with the tip of his tongue, and breathed into his ears. Dugu Xiaozhong felt a spasm all over his body, numbness and soreness.
At this critical moment, Mei Rui suddenly shouted outside the house: "Cousin, have you finished praying? Why are you still grinding? I'm hungry."
Dugu Xiao was shocked and quickly pushed Bai Fu away, saying anxiously: "Brother Fu, please leave quickly. If someone sees you, you won't be able to explain clearly."
Bai Fu whispered in Dugu Xiaozhong's ear: "I heard that you are going back to your parents' house tomorrow. At three o'clock tomorrow night, you open the window of the embroidery building, and I will go to the boudoir to find you."
After saying that, the figure flashed and disappeared.
As soon as Bai Fu stepped forward, Mei Rui stepped into the house, complaining about her cousin and looking around.
Mei Rui thought to herself: I just heard a man talking to his cousin, why is there no one there now?"
Dugu Xiaozhong stroked his chest, breathed a long sigh of relief, and pretended to be calm: "I was copying scriptures here, and you came in like a storm and scared me."
Having said that, Dugu Xiaozhong put down his writing and glanced at the scripture that Bai Fu was copying.
Sitting in the carriage on the way back, Dugu Xiaozhong was in a trance and said nothing.
What happened just now was so sudden and unexpected that it seemed like a dream. It was so unreal.
Similar scenes have appeared in countless spring boudoir dreams, but it really happened, but she couldn't believe it. Dugu Xiaozhong didn't know why, but after thinking about it carefully, he always felt that something was wrong.
…
Most of the members of the Dugu family had already moved south with their clan leader, the old clan leader Dugu, in the past few years.
Dugu Ying and Mrs. Pei were worried about their daughter, so they stayed in Chang'an on behalf of the Dugu family.
As his parents were getting old, Dugu Xiaozhong was a filial piety and often returned to Dugu's mansion to accompany his parents.
On the morning of the second day of the second lunar month, according to prior arrangements, Dugu Xiao returned to her parents' home to visit her parents.
Before departure, Dugu Xiaozhong was undecided. She couldn't guarantee whether she would open the window of the embroidered building tonight and let everything happen naturally...
Bai Fu's bold and direct action yesterday really frightened her a lot.
Although the folk customs of the Tang Dynasty were open, many princesses, princesses and concubines had male favorites and beauties. Private meetings with their beauties were even the most secret and exciting topics among noble ladies. Even his own mother, Mrs. Pei...
…
But Dugu Xiaozhong could not forgive herself. She felt deeply guilty and locked herself in her dormitory, blaming herself constantly.
Dugu Xiaozhong said to himself: "My husband is very respectful to me. Although he does not have the elegance of piano, chess, or the joy of the boudoir, he still raises his eyebrows and respects each other as if he were a guest."
As a woman who became a prince, who didn’t live like this? What else did she long for? The only thing to blame was that she was not strong-willed. She should have been like Li Tengkong, and would rather practice Taoism for the rest of her life than marry an emotionless person.
Now, I am someone else's wife, and my children can recite poems. If I ignore it, throw myself into this fiery desire, make love vigorously, and gamble with fate, will I fall into hell and be shattered to pieces?
…”
But looking at the exquisite makeup, Sai Xue's skin, and still youthful pretty face in the bronze mirror, Dugu Xiaozhong felt a little unwilling to accept it: "I am in my prime, how can I spend my life so mediocrely?"
If I hadn't thought that my eldest brother Fu was dead and was heartbroken, how could I have followed my mother's wishes and married into the East Palace? I have already missed it once, do I have to miss it again?
In these days, I have met Brother Fu countless times inside and outside the palace. Aren't I secretly longing for something to happen?
Facing Brother Fu's fiery eyes, if I miss it again this time, I may miss it for the rest of my life..."
Dugu Xiaozhong felt like her heart was twisting in a knife, and she was in pain. She threw herself on the embroidery bed, sobbing silently...
…
In the small building not far away, Prince Li Chu, who had led his team out to hunt in the early morning, secretly went back to the mansion to spy on Dugu Xiaozhong secretly.
Li Chu's face was livid, he stared hard at Dugu Xiaozhong's bedroom, and tore the secret book in his hand into pieces.
Li Chu paced back and forth in the room, and after a while, he made up his mind.
Li Chu's eyes flashed coldly, and he ordered to his subordinate Yun Guangming: "If the princess dares to have a private meeting with Bai Fu tonight, you will kill the princess directly! The other maids will be killed without mercy!"
…
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Dugu Xiaozhong did not go back to his parents' home to visit relatives and stayed in the East Palace dormitory.
After a fierce ideological struggle, Dugu Xiaozhong finally decided to sacrifice love, maintain chastity, and become a virtuous and virtuous crown prince.
From then on, he and Bai Fu were just around the corner, just like passers-by.
No one complains, this is her life.
…
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, at dawn, the cockcrow and the five drums were heard. In Dugu Mansion, under Dugu Xiaozhong's embroidered building, two night walkers hiding in the rockery in the courtyard appeared.
Fuso Saint Fujiwara Rika snorted coldly and said disdainfully to Bai Fu beside her: "I squatted all night and thought I could see a good show, but I didn't expect to suffer the cold all night in vain.
Who boasts so much that no woman can resist your magic power? Even a chaste and fierce woman cannot escape from your clutches?
The Huajian Sect is famous all over the world, even we Japanese women have heard of it.
I thought that the heirs of the Huajian Sect had such amazing means to make Princess Dugu abandon her family and children, run around at night, and indulge in your gentle countryside.
Unexpectedly, I am not as famous as I am when I meet you, and my disciple in Huajian is just mediocre."
Bai Fu sneered and said, "You don't need to ridicule me. If you want to blame me, it's because your information is inaccurate.
You insist on me pretending to be Bai Fu. Now it seems that Princess Dugu has no personal relationship with this boy Bai Fu, and she is not willing to pay too much price for Bai Fu.
After all, in my eyes, this boy Bai Fu is not outstanding in appearance. If I personally take action, I guarantee that he will be captured easily."
This long-haired man was half-kneeling on the ground. The tight-fitting clothes on his upper body were slightly wet, and a thin layer of sweat seeped through the tights, highlighting his exquisite figure.
"Bai Fu" stood up, revealing a slim and slender body like a jade tree. Half of the originally loose black hair was pulled back by a jade hairpin and draped behind the snow-white neck. The rest of the hair hung down to the waist, fluttering slightly.
"Bai Fu" took off his mask and gently placed his palms on his face. He exhaled his inner strength and steamed up his palms.
"Bai Fu" used a special technique to rub his face back and forth, and after a while, he took off a thin human skin mask from his face.
After the human skin mask was taken off, "Bai Fu" revealed a face without any flaws, which was extremely evil and not like ordinary people.
If the lips are painted with elixir, the skin is like gelatin, and the fair skin can be broken by blowing, and there is a faint flow of luster. The cut pupils are like water or mist, and there is a lingering melancholy that cannot be resolved.
His beauty seems to blur the boundaries between male and female. Rather than handsome, it is more appropriate to describe him as sickly, soft, and charming.
"Bai Fu" smiled casually, with a kind of arrogance in his decadence, just like the drunken singing voice, which makes people fall into it if they are not careful.
Fujiwara Rika struggled to move her eyes away from "Hakufu"'s face. She had to admit that it was rare in the world for a man to look like this. Even if she was a saint, it would be hard not to be tempted by such a man.
Fujiwara Rika sneered: "What do you know? The essence of this plan lies in the word Bai Fu.
When I arrived, I had already heard that Li Chu already knew about Bai Fu's seduction of Princess Dugu. Even if the tryst failed, it would not affect Li Chu's jealousy towards Bai Fu.
With this 'hatred of seizing his wife', it is no longer possible for Li Chu to reconcile with Bai Fu.
It’s almost dawn, retreat!”
After saying that, Fujiwara Rika pointed her toes, spun up, and floated away like a wisp of smoke.
"Baifu" stared at Fujiwara Rika's soft waist like a civet cat, and couldn't help but twitching his lips, and secretly said in his heart: "Finally, one day, I will let you, the Japanese demon fox, see my methods, and let you know what is the desire for immortality."
