"On the road of separation, loneliness is still the flute and drum. The barren smoke is still the same. How can the soul-summoning Chu compare? The mountain ghosts cry in the wind and rain.
Even the heavens are jealous. Not believing, the orioles and swallows are all yellow. Through the ages, in order to keep the slut, I sing and drink to my heart's content and visit Yanqiu. "
In Changle Palace, Princess Changle held the ink magazine in her hand and read the poem Yanqiu over and over again.
If it could be said that Liang Zhu's poem was meant to clear her name, then this poem was Modun's public confession. How could Princess Changle not be moved?
Princess Changle looked at the ink magazine, but her eyes gradually became firm.
"You and I are both willing. How can we be like Liang Zhu, regretting for the rest of our lives." Princess Changle secretly made a few decisions in her heart.
In the tragedy of Liang Zhu, there was the sorrow of etiquette, but there was also fate playing tricks on people. If Liang Zhu and Liang Shanbo had met in person earlier and Liang Shanbo had proposed before the Ma family, perhaps there would have been a different ending.
Now, the two were still unmarried. If there were any mishaps and they followed in Liang Zhu's footsteps, then they would probably regret it for the rest of their lives.
Thinking of this, Princess Changle suddenly stood up and ordered the palace maids on duty in front of Changle Palace, "Bengong has something to do. No one is to disturb me!"
"Yes!"
The palace maids on duty looked at each other and could only follow the order. However, their hearts were uneasy!
"Could it be that after Princess saw Liang Zhu …" The palace maid on duty guessed randomly and immediately felt uneasy.
The middle-aged palace maid looked at the tightly closed palace door and heard the sound of rummaging inside. She sighed and ordered the palace maids on duty to follow the princess's orders.
After a long time, Princess Changle suddenly opened the palace door. Dressed in splendid attire, she walked out with a radiant face. The palace maids' hearts skipped a beat. They suddenly realized that Princess Changle seemed different.
"Princess!" The middle-aged palace maid stepped forward and bowed.
Princess Changle nodded. Her voice was soft but firm, "Go to the Legislative Hall. Bengong wants to pay respects to Imperial Mother!"
"Yes!" The middle-aged palace maid responded.
"Farewell, Your Highness!" The group of palace maids bowed and sent her off.
The group of palace maids stood up and looked at Princess Changle's departing figure. They only felt a golden light flash in front of their eyes and couldn't help but follow her line of sight.
On Princess Changle's headdress, there was a conspicuous gold pattern.
"Could it be that the princess is …"
The palace maids were pleasantly surprised. They did not expect that the mysterious woman they had been envious of was actually Princess Changle.
"Paying respects to Consort Wei!" Princess Changle said courteously.
Not long after he left Changle Palace, he encountered Imperial Concubine Wei and the ten-year-old Princess Lin Chuan playing in the harem.
"So it's Changle!" Imperial Concubine Wei was slightly unhappy when she saw Changle. She was kind enough to set up a match between her nephew and Princess Changle. She did not expect that Princess Changle would not be willing to say anything. She even said that her nephew's character was not good and directly ruined her nephew's future.
"Sister's jewelry is so beautiful." Princess Lin Chuan suddenly pointed to the gold thread on Princess Changle's head and said.
The first style of Jinyu Lou's gold thread was to make the gold jewelry popular. It was the collective wisdom of all the skilled craftsmen. Naturally, it was amazing.
Princess Changle smiled sweetly and said, "Lin Chuan is still young. When you grow up, someone will naturally give you jewelry."
As the Imperial Concubine, the jewelry she handled was naturally expensive. Naturally, she would not care about a gold jewelry. Until Princess Lin Chuan reminded her, Imperial Concubine Wei suddenly raised her head and noticed the gold thread on Princess Changle's head. She could not help but shrink her eyes and suddenly realized.
It was no wonder that the gentle and virtuous Princess Changle did not give her the slightest bit of face, directly destroying Wei Sian's future prospects. As it turned out, the truth was that Princess Changle was the mysterious woman who had disguised herself as a man on the night of supper.
Wei Sian had slandered her and Modun in front of Princess Changle. Now, she had actually come to propose marriage to Princess Changle on Wei Sian's behalf. If this was not bringing disgrace upon herself, what was?
At this moment, Imperial Concubine Wei was extremely dissatisfied with Wei Sian. This nephew of hers was too worrisome, causing her to fall into such an embarrassing situation.
"I won't disturb Concubine Wei. Changle has to go to the Li Zheng Hall to pay respects to Muhou." Princess Changle said lightly.
Imperial Concubine Wei nodded with a hollow smile.
If it had been before, for the Great Tang's Eldest Princess to disguise herself as a man and secretly engage in love with a man, that would have been a gargantuan scandal within the palace. However, after the spreading of Liang Zhu, the direction of the entire situation immediately changed. Looking at it again, wasn't the relationship between Princess Changle and the son of the Mo family as romantic as Liang Zhu?
On the night of the Lantern Festival, a woman dressed as a man, a word of love, and the world's first gold thread as a token of love. Then Mo Jiazi made all kinds of efforts for Princess Changle. Such a legendary love made people can't help but envy. Even a little blasphemy was a sin.
"What is love in the world, it can make life and death commitment!" Imperial Concubine Wei couldn't help but look at Taiji Palace with hidden bitterness. As a woman, who could not envy a man who was willing to risk his life for her?
However, although she was a dignified Imperial Concubine, she had never enjoyed much love from the Emperor. Because the Emperor's love was always in the Li Zheng Hall, there was very little that could be shared with other concubines. When it was her turn, she was afraid that she was even more pitiful.
"Mufei, when I grow up, I also want such a beautiful set of jewelry." Princess Lin Chuan said innocently.
When Imperial Concubine Wei heard this, she couldn't help but hug Princess Lin Chuan. With a bitter face, she said: "It's easy to find a priceless treasure, but it's hard to find a lover. Although gold thread is easy to get, it depends on who gives it. I hope that when Lin Chuan grows up, she will also have such good fortune!"
Princess Lin Chuan's face was full of childishness. How could she understand the words between adults? She could only stare at the back of Princess Changle, who was gradually disappearing.
"Changle!"
In a pavilion, several princes were holding an ink magazine and reading it with great interest. In the palace, they were like caged birds. There were very few opportunities to play. Everyone was looking at Liang Zhu and looking forward to their future other halves.
When they saw Changle coming from afar, everyone quickly hid the ink magazine in their hands.
Li Tai was even more ashamed. He should have stood on Changle's side to crusade against Mo Jiazi. But after seeing Liang Zhu, he shamefully betrayed them. When he saw Princess Changle, he couldn't help but avert his eyes. Suddenly, his eyes froze, and he stared at the gold thread.
Princess Changle didn't care. After a slight greeting, she went to the Li Zheng Hall.
It wasn't until Princess Changle's figure was far away that Li Tai woke up from a dream. He quickly touched Li Chengqian beside him.
Li Chengqian nodded. He clenched his fists so hard that blue veins popped out. Who would have thought that Princess Changle turned out to be that mysterious woman? And they still foolishly persuaded Princess Changle to crusade against Mo Jiazi in front of Princess Changle. It was simply humiliating to the extreme.
What they couldn't accept even more was that Mo Jiazi secretly got together with Princess Changle under their eyes. This made Li Tai and Li Chengqian feel embarrassed. How could they get along with each other in the future?
