Chapter 626: Love-Hate Entanglement
The night was deep and fast, even though it was Tanabata, but it was almost time for curfew, and everyone was ready to return. Only Xiyue was still on the street, looking at Chang'an City at night. So quiet and full of the smell of history. In modern times, so many ancient buildings of blue bricks and wood have been demolished, which is rare to see on weekdays, even if there are some antique, but there is always a lack of such a historical taste and intentions.
Xi Yue has also seen all kinds of Chinese and foreign buildings, perhaps in her heart of boasting, but she still thinks that the ancient Chinese architecture is the most beautiful, especially the palace. This kind of beauty is not only the appearance, but also the harmony with the nature of heaven and earth. Even if you look at it like that, it will make you feel at peace and feel the craftsmanship.
And the construction of the whole city has to admire the wisdom of the ancients. There is no high-tech overlook, no high-altitude overlook, relying on the measurement of the wooden ruler of both feet, but it can divide such a large city plan exactly as it is. The whole layout is properly dense, and the various functional areas and streets are properly divided, taking into account both beauty and practicality. At the same time, the drainage system is also very perfect, and there will be no water accumulation in a rainstorm.
It's a pity that there are so many instruments and so many means in modern times, and the planned city is either congested or waterlogged, and the overlook view of the layout is even more miserable. In fact, it is not that human wisdom is regressing, but that people's hearts are not as pure as they are at this time. Maybe it's because there is no knife hanging over the head, so you can be presumptuous, so that you can let your conscience go.
In the past, Xiyue had never tried the height of the top of the Forbidden City, but today she can take a look at the world of the Han family at the height of the Han Palace, which is also a dream of her previous life.
Speaking of which, Xi Yue encountered an interesting thing on the way to the Han Palace. Chen Ajiao, Liu Che and Wei family met at the same intersection. It is not far from Princess Binh Duong's Mansion and the Royal Palace. Chen Ajiao's carriage was in a hurry to return to the palace, and happened to crash into Liu Che's carriage. It's a trivial matter, but a dispute that doesn't give in to each other recognizes each other. It happened that Wei Qing's sister and brother passed by quickly and were recognized by Pingyang.
Originally, Pingyang would not recognize the appearance of the maidservant girl in the whole house, but Wei Zifu was a dancer personally selected by Pingyang and was ready to dance in front of Liu Che. The women dedicated to the emperor, Pingyang is naturally cautious, not only have they seen them all, but they have also seen them dancing on weekdays, and they are all very familiar.
Liu Che and Chen Ajiao disagreed, and quarreled again, one blamed him for not taking himself, and the other blamed her for leaving the palace without permission. Pingyang didn't care about Wei Zifu, so he hurriedly went up to persuade him. Wei Zifu was not easy to leave, so he waited on the side. The two argued for a few words, and then they got to Pingyang, who asked Pingyang to take Liu Che out. Liu Che was even more annoyed when he saw his sister, and scolded him. This is a big deal, Chen Ajiao's noble girl's temper also came up, and she quarreled without caring about Liu Che's face.
Wei Zifu saw that Pingyang couldn't persuade him, so he also spoke out to dissuade him, and he didn't think about a few words to let Liu Che extinguish the fire, and Gillian also calmed down. Liu Che took a closer look at Wei Zifu because of the gentleness of his voice and the kindness of his heart, and there was satisfaction in his eyes.
Although this glance is vague, it enters Pingyang's eyes. After taking a look at Chen Ajiao and Wei Zifu, he also understood a little in his heart. Sure enough, his younger brother likes a gentle and meticulous woman, but she doesn't lack guts.
Once Liu Che was not favored, it was inevitable that he would be attracted to a pampered woman like Gillian who grew up and was bright and delicate. It's just that he grew up all his life under the strength of Empress Dowager Dou and the weakness of his mother Queen Wang, and he was wronged. How can you really like that kind of strong and weak woman? At the beginning, Gillian was just living the life he wanted, and for a while he was envious as a curtain.
In the end, Liu Che coaxed Chen Ajiao a few words and persuaded the aggrieved and angry Chen Ajiao. Chen Ajiao looked at Liu Che, who had softened, and felt a little sweet in her heart, and became obedient. It's just that she doesn't know that at this moment there is already a woman who has left a trace of waves on his husband.
It was also this trace of turbulence that finally turned into clear water and a lake, softened her husband, and became his favorite in his heart. Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty empathized with him, it was not Chen Ajiao who let Liu Che out by himself. In the face of a fierce and unreasonable wife, how can the gentle interpretation flower not let the man fall?
Chen Ajiao's fault lies in her temper. How can an emperor give up all his dignity to be a woman? Now that you have a high position, you have to learn to let go of some things.
Love is selfish, but that doesn't mean you can make every inch in the name of love and make the person you love compromise everywhere. Blindly seeking wisdom makes love wear out in time, even rot and ferment, and finally become hatred. And Chen Ajiao catalyzed the best love of her youth into hatred.
Maybe this is the fault of Chen Ajiao's parents, who gave her the best everything, but they forgot to teach her how to behave in the world and be a good wife and mother in line with the times at that time.
As for Wei Zifu, she is actually the most innocent, and she has no choice from beginning to end. If there is a choice, maybe she will not enter the deep palace. If she doesn't enter the palace, although she may not get the glory and wealth, the ending may not be so miserable, watching the father and son kill each other because of a misunderstanding, and finally commit suicide. Maybe she will be filial to her husband and son, and enjoy her old age in peace.
A woman who can surrender the emperor properly and help her as the queen, and a woman who can govern the harem properly, will not be able to take care of an ordinary family. But then again, if it weren't for Liu Che's eyes, he might not have met a good man, let alone a stable life.
It's a pity that the three of them love and love, and they all end miserably. The two women did not die well, and the man was also sad in his old age, spending himself alone in remorse.
The grievances and entanglements of these three people, in fact, Pingyang can't get rid of it. Even himself was involved, between Chen Ajiao and Wei Zifu, between Wei Zifu and Mrs. Li, and on Wei Qing. Chen Ajiao must have hated Pingyang, because Wei Zifu was dedicated by her. Wei Zifu should also hate Pingyang, because Pingyang later sent Mrs. Li. This is still a famous woman in the record, an unknown beauty, who knows how many more. If a married sister gives a woman to her younger brother, how can her brother's daughter-in-law be happy, not to mention that this in itself is overreaching.
Mortals, the grievances and grievances in this life are only a few decades, but they are more wonderful than an immortal for thousands of years, thousands of years, and tens of millions of years. Xiyue's own life is also wonderful, but if you really want to tell the story, it is really not as exciting as these three people. It's no wonder that so fairies don't want the tens of millions of years of heaven, and only want the world to be flashy for decades.
At the height of the Han Palace, overlooking the entire Chang'an, there is indeed a different feeling. At a glance, I can see the entire Chang'an City, and I feel that the world is under my feet, and the world is centered on me, and I can scold Fang Xuan and point out the country. Maybe many princes don't really want that right for that position, but they fall in love with this feeling, so that they can always see such a view.
"This Han Palace is really good, compared to the Forbidden City, it shows the style of my Han nationality, but I didn't see the Abang Palace, but it's a little regrettable." Xiyue sighed at the nine-colored deer.
It's not that she really doesn't have the opportunity to meet the legendary Abang Palace, she just doesn't want to use the immortal law. It's a forced demand, and it loses its original taste, so that it's not interesting.
The nine-colored deer screamed, not knowing what it meant. But the happiness is true, although the architecture here is not as majestic and wonderful as the palace of the immortal residence, but it is exquisite and chic, with a variety of patterns, but it is very fresh.
"There are naturally many good things in the world, you don't have to be blinded, otherwise the poor road will not take you back." Xi Yue said with a smile.
The nine-colored deer screamed twice, showing his loyalty and lack of attachment to the mortal world.
"Let's go, I've stayed enough in this Chang'an City, it's time to leave." Xi Yue said, "The moonlight is just right tonight, and it is also suitable for traveling at night." ”
Xi Yue took the nine-colored deer in the air, and when she walked through a palace, she saw an old lady dressed in gorgeous clothes, looking at the moon in the sky with a pair of cloudy old eyes. It's just that those eyes can't see anything anymore.
Coincidentally, Xiyue met a legendary big man again, the Empress Dowager Dou. The Empress Dowager Dou, who was legendary in her life and leaned towards the government and the opposition, was the same in her later years. No wonder people are afraid of getting old, when they are old, they will always be despised after all, and a person is even more lonely, and no one wants to be by your side anymore.
"Liu Heng, they all say that you are benevolent and kind, but you are cruel to me after all."
When Xiyue left, this sentence drifted into her ears. Xi Yue sighed, as strong as the Empress Dowager Dou, she couldn't pass the love level.
I always felt a little guilty about Chen Ajiao Xiyue before, and wanted to make up for it, and even took her out of the mortal world. But Xiyue still didn't do it, and Chen Ajiao couldn't get past the love level. Seven emotions and six desires are constantly chopped, and it is useless to leave Hongchen, maybe this is Chen Ajiao's life. At the beginning, Xiyue was able to take Daji away and make her a star official Hanxing, because she saw it herself and was willing to let it go.
