Seeing that the bastard prince had run far away, Gan Yuelong returned to the house in a rage. Wanchuan and Lao Zhao looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Who would have thought that while they were happily eating melons in the back hall, they would end up biting their own cheek and eating themselves.
Although everyone knew that it was just something the couple made up, no one could stand the anger if it happened to them. And they even came over and talked about it in front of others. They were really assholes.
In the main hall, Liu E looked at Zhao Yuanxiu who was running away, and felt indignant for a moment. Although she was also surprised that Fairy Minglan was a real fairy, what did it mean that this bastard left her here and ran away? It turned out that no man could be trusted.
Just as Liu E was still muttering to herself while looking at Zhao Yuanxiu's back, Shen Yuelan suddenly came up to her and knelt on one leg on the chair where Liu E was sitting.
He pushed Liu E against the back of a chair and gave her a "chair bang" so that she had nowhere to escape. He lifted Liu E's chin with a whisk so that she could look directly at him, and then he gently placed Liu E's soft hair on his cheek and stroked it lightly.
Finally, he lowered his voice and said to Liu E lazily:
[I heard that you admire me? ]
Liu E didn't realize how sharp it was at first, until Shen Yuelan said, "I heard that you admire me?" in her voice that could make one's bones melt, in their current position.
Liu E felt like her scalp was about to explode. Her already fair skin instantly turned red and hot. At this moment, she looked directly into her fiery red eyes from a close distance and felt her delicate and flawless skin.
Liu E instantly had the urge to eat the beauty in front of her, what a rubbish prince, I have never seen before! ! Liu E felt that her words had come true, she really fell in love with this banished immortal.
Shen Yuelan had no experience in love. Seeing that Liu E had no reaction, she thought that she was not yet ready, so she decided to move on to the next step and slowly pressed her lips against Liu E's red lips.
How could Liu E, whose blood was already boiling, bear such stimulation? Before Shen Yuelan kissed her, she fainted and fell directly into Shen Yuelan's arms.
Shen Yuelan suddenly realized at this moment that she had gone too far. She turned around to look at Huanyan and Shen Sushang, who had returned to her human form, only to see them both rolling their eyes.
Then, while accusing Shen Yuelan of teasing the little girl like that, he helped Shen Yuelan to comfort Liu E, who had fainted.
Shen Yuelan defended herself aggrievedly:
[They were the first to disgust me. Weren't they NTRing me? I've heard a saying that when others accuse you of rebellion, you'd better have the strength to rebel.]
[In today's situation, doesn't it mean that when others say you are NTR, you'd better really have an affair with that person. 】
[So I just want to make things happen, hehe. ]
Gan Yuelong and Lao Zhao, who had just calmed down and were planning to go out to check out the situation, suddenly lost their minds when they heard Shen Yuelan's sophistry. Things didn't seem to be the case, but this was indeed the truth.
Gan Yuelong scratched her hair and asked Shen Sushang beside her:
[Is this how this sentence is used? 】
Shen Sushang was speechless for a moment.
Old Zhao, who had been silent all along, suddenly exclaimed:
【Master, I understand! ! 】
【What the hell did you realize? You realized it. 】
Shen Sushang was not polite to Lao Zhao. She just complained and confronted him directly. After all, no one knew what moral bottom line this old pervert had broken.
[Although what you said seems to make sense, I have to remind you that this little girl's husband is still guarding in the woods not far from the temple.] Gan Yuelong advised with a headache.
[Tsk, why haven't you left yet? But Sister Yuelong, look at Liu E's current state. I'm afraid people outside won't believe that nothing happened between us.]
Gan Yuelong looked at Liu E's flushed face and disheveled clothes, and suddenly felt a headache. The evil spirit that had just disappeared surged up again.
[So, you want to make the best of a bad situation? Let me tell you, the soundproofing in our Taoist temple is not good. If you really want to do it, I'm afraid it will be a live broadcast!!]
[Oh my, you misunderstood, Sister Yuelong. What I meant was that if I send her away in her current state, I can't explain it clearly. I have to deal with it.]
Gan Yuelong calmed down after hearing this and blamed him unhappily:
[It's all your fault. Why are you teasing me for no reason? Can't Su Chang satisfy you? ]
[Ah…]
Shen Sushang blushed and reminded Gan Yuelong to shut up.
Old Zhao glanced back and forth between the two of them for a long time, finally confirming a fact, then he lamented, exclaiming that he almost became Emperor Minghuang of Tang, and ran to the kitchen with a sad face.
Gan Yuelong shrank back after being glared at by Shen Suchang, and whispered to Shen Yuelan:
[Put the things in this room away by yourself. Liu E will give them to me. I promise that she will hand them to me with red cheeks and walk out of the Taoist temple with a pale face.]
Shen Yuelan did not hesitate to hear this. She looked up and motioned Huanyan and Suchang to start working. After they finished packing up, Shen Yuelan handed Liu E to Wanchuan, and then took Suchang and Huanyan to watch Old Zhao's fun.
Gan Yuelong twitched his lips when he saw this. Poor old Zhao.
Chapter 28 Bitter Love
Old Zhao hid in the kitchen, sighed silently, and poured a cup of wine on the ground to comfort himself for his fifth love which died before it even began.
When he was about to turn around and pour himself another cup of wine, he suddenly saw three little heads at the door, staring at him, and one of them was Shen Suchang who had dumped him.
Lao Zhao took a sip of wine, turned his back to the three people, and asked:
[Su Shang, why? You should know how I feel about you. I am serious about it, but why didn't you choose me? . ]
[I don't mean to blame anyone. I still believe that the winners are the kings and the losers are the bandits. I just want to know where I am lacking. Can you tell me? Su Chang. ]
Shen Sushang was silent for a moment after hearing this, then turned around and sat on the doorstep, pinched Shen Yuelan's cheek, and replied calmly:
[I know what you mean, I knew it a long time ago, but you should know that we are different. Although we cannot be called immortals or gods, the difference between us and mortals is no different.]
[As long as Minglan is willing, she will still be in her prime ten thousand years later, and you, can you stay with me for another ten years? ]
Lao Zhao did not respond for a long time. What could he say? Could he say that he could stay with her for ten years? Lao Zhao suddenly understood the First Emperor a little, but he still did not intend to become the First Emperor.
Are you kidding? I've seen old ghosts who have lived for tens of thousands of years before. What's there to envy about Xuanlong's dead look of indifference to everything? It's just a young body and a decayed soul. I don't care about him, Old Zhao. Humph.
Looking back again, the woman on the doorstep has disappeared. Well, it is much better for her to follow Minglan than to follow me. All I have to do is to protect them silently and pray for them in the remaining time.
In the main hall, Gan Yuelong transformed into a small piece of ice and stuffed it into Liu E's clothes with malicious intent. Humph, let you implicate me.
Liu E, who was about to wake up, jumped up in an instant because of the cold. After waking up, Liu E saw that there were girls in the room, so she took off her clothes immediately, trying to pick out the ice from her clothes.
Because of the intense exercise, the blush on Liu E's body quickly dissipated, and her originally messy clothes became neat after she found ice and put them on again, perfectly solving the problem that Shen Yuelan was worried about.
The crowd who had just finished watching the fun and came back from the kitchen were amazed and exclaimed that Doctor Xuanlong had brought people back to health with his miraculous skills. Liu E, who had just tidied her clothes, froze instantly when she heard this.
She had not forgotten who her stupid husband replaced her so-called "person of admiration" with before he left. Wasn't it the person in front of her?
Looking at the half-smiled face in front of her, she didn't expect that she would have to explain in the end why she came here to do such a ridiculous thing. But this was obviously the idea of that bastard prince, and she didn't expect that she would have to clean up his mess. Liu E wanted to cry for a while but had no tears.
Seeing this, Shen Yuelan suddenly remembered that this prince seemed to have done something similar when he ascended the throne many years later. What was it? Yes, it was this guy who launched the Taishan Fengshan Movement of "The Descending of the Heavenly Book" in order to wash away the shame of the Chanyuan Alliance.
This "Emperor's New Clothes" was performed for forty-seven days, and that was not the end. He later promoted the "teaching with Shintoism" throughout the country. To put it simply, he built Taoist temples in various places, and it reached the point where "the whole country was crazy about it."
Li Zhi of later generations commented on this matter:
[It is ridiculous and lamentable that a dignified monarch and his subjects would be involved in such evil things! ]
Since him, no one has gone to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, which has completely discredited this ancient and sacred sacrificial ritual that has been passed down since the First Emperor.
In the end, this mess was just like today, and it was all Liu E who cleaned up his mess. After Zhao Yuanxiu died, she buried the [Book of Heaven] along with Zhao Yuanxiu and stopped the construction of palaces and temples across the country, thus ending this ridiculous farce that had lasted for many years.
To be honest, if his two elder brothers had not met with disasters one after another, it would have never been his turn to be the emperor. Today, it seems that everything is destined, and Zhao Yuanxiu's character doomed him to a ridiculous life.
Although this person is very methodical in doing things, he will become decadent once he is hit, and easily indulge in ghosts and gods. In the later period of his reign, he indulged in [Eastern Sealing and Western Sacrifices] all day long and could not extricate himself, which laid the foreshadowing. It is unknown whether it was a blessing or a curse for Liu E to follow him.
Liu E's final explanation to Gan Yuelong was that Zhao Yuanxiu had been frightened when he was a child, and when his brain was excited, he would fantasize about all sorts of things and then do some ridiculous things, but when he was normal, he was still very outstanding.
Gan Yuelong and Shen Yuelan looked at each other. It should be said that although Liu E's reason was obviously made up, it was mixed with her true opinion of Zhao Yuanxiu. To be honest, this evaluation was still relatively true and pertinent.
Gan Yuelong did not intend to embarrass Liu E. After Liu E reluctantly gave an explanation, he did not pursue the matter any further. He just asked Liu E to convey his warning to Zhao Yuanxiu:
[Randomly blaspheming the immortals will lead to heaven's punishment. ]
I believe this sentence is enough to make Zhao Yuanxiu panic for a while.
When Liu E left, Shen Yuelan went to see her off. The two stood in the yard. Liu E blushed and hesitated for a long time but couldn't make any clear words.
Liu E asked Shen Yuelan dejectedly if she could come again in the future. Shen Yuelan touched Liu E's head and said that she was always welcome here, but she would go to the south to preach this year and her return date was uncertain.
Maybe in a few years, I will come back to meet him. Maybe today is the last time we meet in this life. It is not impossible.
Upon hearing this, Liu E burst into tears. Shen Yuelan felt helpless and could only hold her in her arms and comfort her softly. After she calmed down, she took out a painting from the house and gave it to Liu E.
Liu E sobbed as she unrolled the scroll, and saw a dirty girl with a determined look on the paper. Liu E laughed as she watched, and she stroked her former self with a smile on her face.
[Sister Minglan, suddenly I realized that I have grown up and become a woman. ]
Liu E was quite emotional for a moment.
Shen Yuelan smiled, nodded Liu E's little head and said:
[How old are you? How dare you say you have grown up and become a woman? In my eyes, you will always look like this ghost in the painting. ]
[But, isn't it true that once you have sex with a man, you are a woman? ]
[Alas..., will I always look like this in your eyes? Then I will never be able to turn over. Can you at least update it and change it to my current appearance? 】
Shen Yuelan ignored Liu E's first question, picked her up, took her into her room, asked her to sit by the window, and with a stroke of her brush, she began to paint for her on the spot.
Liu E was very happy to see this, and her phoenix eyes, which had just cried, reflected a bright light again.
Shen Yuelan looked at the beauty by the window and sighed softly. Liu E was the only person in her short life who had pure affection and love for her.
It would be a lie to say that he was not moved at all. It would be bullshit to say that he did not feel any pain when seeing the beauty crying in his arms. But just like Shen Sushang rejected Lao Zhao, Shen Yuelan could not accept Liu E's love.
In history, she was an ordinary person, Zhang Xianmingsu of the Song Dynasty, and I was a traveler across time and space. A hundred years later, her beauty has withered and only the grass remains, but I have not changed at all and am still in my prime.
In reality, she is the person in the painting, a glorious empress in history, and I am a passerby in the inner and outer worlds. She is still exquisite and beautiful after years, just as when I first saw her, while I look glamorous, but in fact my inner soul has long been rotten, no longer the same as it used to be.
Chapter 29: The Young Master Is Unrivaled
In the end, Liu E left, holding the two paintings given to her by Shen Yuelan. She left her purest self to Shen Yuelan, and took away Zhang Xian Mingsu, who was about to dominate the Song Dynasty for decades.
Shen Yuelan stood at the entrance of the small temple, looking from afar, until the thin figure gradually became blurred, until the frail figure disappeared on the horizon. This time, Liu E never looked back, not even once.
A sigh came from Shen Yuelan's side. Gan Yuelong came to Shen Yuelan's side, looked at the empty horizon, and lamented:
[I never thought that she actually loved you. I thought that the empress of that generation had only ambition and calculation in her heart, but I never thought that she also had beautiful things in her heart.]
[Yue Lan, cherish this love. This may be the most important thing you have gained from this mission.]
Shen Yuelan nodded silently. She thought that she and Liu E would definitely meet again, although the bronze hairpin was once given to Shen Yuelan by Liu E.
But Shen Yuelan did not take it away. She still left the copper hairpin with Liu E and asked her that if she ever became queen, she should cast it into the first Tianxi Tongbao coin and wear it with her all the time. Then the two of them would surely meet again.
The city of Tokyo is always full of vitality in spring. The withered old trees gradually come back to life, the once dry and yellow grass becomes more full of spring, the green willows sway in the wind, and the spring waves ripple. It is no more than this.
A gentle and handsome young man, with a pretty and heroic fairy, was standing on the bridge, admiring the scenery in the distance.
On a nearby building, there is also a pair of beautiful women enjoying the scenery and reciting poems, just as Bian Zhilin's "Broken Chapter" says: [You are watching the scenery on the bridge, and the people watching the scenery are watching you on the building. The bright moon decorates your window, and you decorate other people's dreams.]
[Yuanxian, look, the young man by the bridge is so handsome! ]
[Alas, donor Yuan Ling, I have told you so many times that I have become a nun. My Buddhist name is Yuan Ming, and I am a Buddhist. I cannot be attracted to men.]
[Don't come on, if it weren't for your poor health, the master in the temple said that you were possessed by evil spirits and needed the protection of the Bodhisattva to live a few more years, otherwise who would let you become a monk? Besides, who would practice Buddhism with hair on? ]
[Ahem, that's what I said, but I still have to do what I should do. Besides, it's true that I'm weak and can't get close to men.]
[Okay, okay, then just follow your rules and regulations, I will take care of it myself.]
After Zhao Yuanling finished speaking, he leaned over the railing and looked out, not only watching with his eyes but also talking nonstop.
[Tsk tsk, the man is as beautiful as jade, the young master is unparalleled in the world, oh, look at that little face, how can one describe it with just one word, handsome. ]
Zhao Yuanling muttered a lot, and Zhao Yuanxian felt itchy because of what he said, so he secretly looked towards the other side of the bridge. He really saw a handsome young man who was as gentle as jade. The way he fiddled with the fan made Zhao Yuanxian stunned.
When she turned around, she saw her second sister looking at her with amusement. Zhao Yuanxian, who was wearing Zen clothes, instantly turned red like a steamed crab.
Zhao Yuanling looked as if I had predicted it, took her sister's hand and said:
[Hmph, that's enough, you little kid, what do you know about Zen? Let's go, since we met here, it's fate, let's get to know each other, and if it's a good match, let's tell our father and ask him to be our consort.]
[Alas, Prince Consort…Isn’t it too early to say Prince Consort? ]
[It’s getting late. I heard that Yuan Xiu’s new wife got married at the age of nine. We are so old now. If we don’t take the initiative to find a suitable one for ourselves, we will have to wait for our parents’ orders and the matchmaker’s words.]
As they were talking, the two men had already walked down the courtyard and rushed towards their target, followed by a sparse number of servants. Of course, no one knew how many of them were secretly following them.
The target of the two is also our Master Minglan, who is currently admiring the beauty of Tokyo City with great interest. They have just visited several shops in the city, such as the grand and bright mutton shop, the small restaurant hidden in the alleys, and the snack stalls by the river and at the bridgehead.
Shen Yuelan was dazzled by what she saw, and Huanyan and Suchang who were hiding in the core were also quite happy. Shen Yuelan and Gan Yuelong even planned to visit the brothel at night.
The brothels in ancient times and those in modern times are completely different things. The brothels in ancient times are more like various entertainment companies in later generations. The famous prostitutes in the brothels, such as Li Shishi, Chen Yuanyuan and Liu Rushi, are no different from the stars in later generations, or even more powerful, and are proficient in poetry and songs.
They all relied on their personal charm and amazing talents to become famous in ancient times. They disdained those superficial flesh trades. After all, how much money could they make from that?
The Song Dynasty was the peak period of the development of the brothel economy. After all, it is well known that the economic development of the Song Dynasty was the best in all dynasties. In the Song Dynasty, everyone from the emperor to the literati were familiar customers here.
Well-known Song Dynasty literary masters such as Yan Shu, Lu You, and Liu Yong were often guests here, especially Liu Yong, who almost treated the brothel as his own home. It is said that after his death, his body was collected by several familiar brothel girls.
The most positive example is the story of Han Shizhong, a famous general who fought against the Jin Dynasty in the Southern Song Dynasty, and his marriage to Liang Hongyu, a prostitute from a prominent family. What kind of person is Liang Hongyu? She is a rare woman who can leave her name in history.
