Chapter 2755: Madam, do you want me to marry her?
After watching them walk out, Li Bushang turned around and looked at Nan Yan.
Nan Yan also retracted her gaze and looked at him.
When the two people's eyes met, something kept flickering in Li Bushang's eyes, because he could clearly feel that in the past - since that incident, Nan Yan almost never looked at him. Every time she met him, she would turn her eyes, or even her face, to the side.
But now, she looked at him, not only looked at him, but there seemed to be a smile in her eyes.
There is no fear, only endless tenderness.
That was her attitude towards him when they had just met, when he was still thin and small, unable to even protect himself, and could only follow her like a helpless puppy.
After so many years, I finally see her look like this again.
But it was because of the appearance of another person.
Li Bushang stood at the door, the sunlight outside shining on his body. It was obviously a warm sunlight, but he only felt a biting cold all over his body. He didn't know whether it was brought by the wind or came from his heart.
Nan Yan had already held the armrest of the chair, slowly stood up, and walked towards him.
Li Bushang said: "My Lady..."
Nan Yan looked at him, then looked at the sky outside, and said with a smile, "The sun is shining brightly today."
"yes."
"Let's go for a walk in the yard. Don't waste this beautiful spring time."
"……yes."
So, Nan Yan walked in front and Li Bushan followed behind him. Ruoshui and Tingfu wanted to follow, but Nan Yan waved his hand and asked them to follow from a distance. It seemed as if there were only two people walking out of the main hall of Yonghe Palace and slowly strolling in the courtyard outside.
Although this is not the imperial garden, Nan Yan likes flowers and trees, and Ruoshui is also proficient in this, so they take good care of the flowers, plants and trees outside.
The green leaves at this time are no longer the tender new buds they were before, but have become much darker.
Among the green leaves, many flower buds are emerging.
It is already a beautiful spring day.
Nan Yan walked in front and Li Bushang followed behind, but after a long time, neither of them spoke, only the sound of slow footsteps could be heard in the quiet courtyard.
After a while, I probably felt that I couldn't stay quiet like this any longer.
Nan Yan turned around to look at him and said softly, "You are not hurt this time, right?"
Li Bushang was silent for a moment before he said, "No."
"That's good,"
Nan Yan said gently, "I'm not only concerned about Miss Xie, I'm worried about you too. That night was so dangerous, it was really not easy for you to escape unscathed."
“…”
"Of course, it's also thanks to Miss Xie."
Li Bushang said: "I know, I owe her."
“…”
Hearing this, Nan Yan was slightly stunned.
Said: "What are you talking about? How did it become that you owe her?"
“…”
"Although she was hurt because of you, it's not a question of whether she owes you anything or not. She did it for you, but in the end, it was her own fault."
“…”
"Don't you understand this?"
"You know?"
Nan Yan looked at her with a smile: "Do you really know what her heart is like?"
Li Bushang looked up at her.
Nan Yan sighed softly, then turned and walked forward, whispering as she walked, "I once read a poem that said, 'It's easy to find priceless treasures, but hard to find a loving man.' If a loving man is like this, then so is a loving mother."
“…”
“Some people seek but cannot obtain, while others clearly obtain what they seek but are unaware of it.”
“…”
"Wouldn't it be more painful to regret after wasting time and having nothing to show for it than to ask for it and not get it?"
As she said that, she turned around and looked at Li Bushang.
But Li Bushang just lowered his head, his long eyelashes like two small fans covering his eyes, making it difficult to see what kind of mood he was feeling.
Just silence.
Seeing him like this, Nan Yan didn't continue talking. She just raised her hand and pointed at a tree in front of her and said, "There's something interesting there. Let's go and take a look."
"Um."
Li Bushang followed her slowly to the tree.
This is a peach tree, which was planted when Empress Renxiao was still alive. Although Nan Yan moved into Yonghe Palace, she did not change any flowers or trees here. On the contrary, she liked this place very much and protected everything.
Now, after blooming brilliantly in the spring, many petals of this peach tree have fallen to the dust, and new green buds have emerged.
In a few days, fruits will be produced.
Nan Yan looked at the fallen petals and the newly green leaves, and said with a smile, "Everything is always fine."
Li Bushang, who had been standing behind her silently, suddenly spoke at this time.
He said, "My lady, do you wish me to marry her?"
“…”
Nan Yan slowly turned around and looked at him.
In the sunlight, Li Bushang's wolf-like eyes were glowing with a faint green light, giving people a feeling that they seemed quiet and dormant, as if they were waiting to rush up at any time and bite the throat of their prey.
Nan Yan was silent for a moment, then shook her head gently and said, "Of course not."
Li Bushang frowned slightly.
Nan Yan said, "I just want you to be happy."
“…”
"I hope you can have your happiness in this world."
“…”
"If there's someone who's sincere to you, you can try to open your heart and accept her. It's not that difficult, and there aren't that many dangers."
As she spoke, she smiled faintly at Li Bushang.
The sunlight shone on her face, making even her eyelashes glow and adding a touch of warmth to her smile. She said gently, "If you just stay in the house and don't go out, how can you feel the spring?"
“…”
"If a person keeps his heart closed, how can he feel the warmth of others?"
Li Bushang looked at her quietly.
At this time, the door of the side hall opened. Both of them turned their heads and saw Aunt Tongyun supporting Xie Jiaojiao walking out from inside.
Aunt Tongyun was still carefully reminding her: "Miss, be careful, don't use too much force, or the wound will open."
Xie Jiaojiao just nodded and walked over immediately when she saw the two of them.
He smiled and said, "My Lady, it's not a wound. What are you talking about?"
Nan Yan smiled, and Li Bu Shang said, "Nothing much. It's getting late, and we should take our leave. Don't disturb the Queen's rest."
Xie Jiaojiao glanced at him and obeyed him obediently.
The two men bowed to Nan Yan and left Yonghe Palace.
As Xie Jiaojiao walked out, she turned to look at Li Bushang and said softly, "What were you talking about just now? Why did you stop talking when I came here?"
Li Bushang glanced at her.
And Xie Jiaojiao has already said: "I know, it has nothing to do with me, right?"
After saying that, she smiled and walked forward again.
