"Because that's my only chance to get close to you, so even though I know I can't keep you, I still want to try."
The candlelight flickered, Xie Jinghuai looked at her and replied.
She probably didn't know that when she walked into Zhuixia Palace and saw that her proposed marriage partner was the creator of that story, she felt like she was struck by a huge thrill, and the surprise overwhelmed all her emotions.
Therefore, even though he knew that she was lying when she said, "I can't wait to marry the Crown Prince," his heart still beat twice.
It was at that moment that a voice sounded deep in my mind: It's her.
He always knew what he wanted. Most of the time, he wanted to make his mother happy. He studied military tactics and martial arts hard. Only when his mother was instructing him in martial arts could she be herself again.
He had no intention of becoming emperor, so what good was there in that? My father became the emperor, but he was not necessarily happy. At first, it was ambition that got to him, then he was forced to do so, and later he was overwhelmed by the heavy responsibility.
But things are unpredictable. His uncle and aunt both died, his mother cried all day, his father felt guilty every night, and Yuan'er would rather cause trouble outside than return home. He thought, he should hold on.
He had to hold on, so he chose to go to the battlefield and take on that heavy burden.
He knows what he wants, what he should do and what he should not do.
There was already one 'Jiang Wanping' in the palace, and he didn't want a second one.
So, like her, express your like, but still let her be free and let her go around.
He is not the string that holds her back, but the reef where she can rest her tired feet when crossing the vast ocean.
At the same time, he firmly believed that she was so unique and no one could support her except himself.
The night was quiet, the man's voice echoed in her ears, and Pei Zanxue met his gaze.
This man rarely talks about love and doesn't make too many promises. His mind is all on action.
Before
She came out of the palace in the morning, and the imperial edict granting marriage was delivered to her in the afternoon.
Looking at the bright yellow imperial edict, she felt as if she had been hit on the head and her entire scalp went numb.
What did she do? Did she make herself stupid by writing storybooks?
Reality is not her willful fantasy.
Escape from the marriage, how could she escape the royal marriage? Even if she escapes, what will happen to her parents? What will happen to the entire Pei family?
Even though there is the foundation of Uncle Xiao and Pei's family, Pei's family will not be in any great trouble, but this is ultimately a disaster of treason.
Pei Zanxue regretted it, she regretted it so much that she felt uncomfortable and wanted to slap herself a few times.
She could marry Xie Jinghuai, become the Crown Princess or even the future Queen. With the support of Pei and Uncle Xiao, she would do nothing in her life and could live in luxury.
But she was unwilling!
She has not been to the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, nor has she seen the lonely smoke outside the Great Wall. She still has many things she wants to do. If she is asked to marry now and step into the deep palace, she will not be willing.
She would be tortured by this unwillingness for the rest of her life, and she probably wouldn't be able to survive.
The noodle-eating scholar without ambition cannot write more stories, and Pei Zanxue will not be very happy without freedom.
Pei Zanxue suffered for half a month, but finally succumbed to her own selfishness.
On the eve of her wedding, she still ran away.
Before escaping, she left a letter to Uncle Xiao and Xie Jinghuai, the former was a confession and the latter was an apology.
She did not escape immediately, but hid in a village outside the city.
The next day, news spread from the city: the Crown Princess suddenly fell seriously ill and the wedding was postponed.
She knew that Uncle Xiao and Xie Jinghuai had solved the mess she left behind.
She was too embarrassed to go back, so she simply ran to Jiangnan according to her original plan.
At the age of 16, she was ignorant of the immensity of the world and overestimated herself, thinking that she could make a name for herself in the capital and that she would undoubtedly be successful in other places.
But as soon as she arrived in Jiangnan, she was deceived, kidnapped and nearly died.
The evil in this world was countless times more sinister than the stories she had read in the books.
When she was penniless, starving, and struggling over the food of a stray dog on the streets of Yangzhou, Xie Jinghuai appeared.
He rushed over, jumped off his horse, walked up to her, wiped the dust off her face, and smiled at her.
"Crown Princess, can I be a good person in your storybook now?"
When prejudice disappears, it is replaced by crazy heartbeat.
Xie Jinghuai found her, but did not take her back to Beijing. Instead, he found a lot of people to teach her how to pretend to be ordinary, how to distinguish between good and evil, how to protect herself outside, and even personally taught her how to find his secret sentinels.
She learned things that she had never touched before. Relying on these skills and Xie Jinghuai's secret protection, she traveled all over the country and accomplished everything she wanted to do in the following days.
Pei Zanxue had been moved a long time ago, but she refused to admit it until six years ago, when the Yellow River was flooded and Xie Jinghuai came in person to provide disaster relief and comfort the people, but he accidentally fell into the water.
When she heard the news, her heartbeat suddenly dropped, making her panic.
For the first time, Pei Zanxue wanted to stay with him.
If I stay beside him, I can know his safety at the first time, instead of standing in front of the pigeon coop helplessly and anxiously, waiting for his reply.
…
Although she finally received a pigeon message saying that he was safe and sound, she still ran to see him.
She rode there at full speed at all hours of the day.
Just like when he rushed to Yangzhou from the capital alone to find her.
At that time, his situation was not much better than hers who was staring at the meat bun in the wild dog's mouth.
The new monarch had only been on the throne for a few days when he encountered such a natural disaster. The city was destroyed and the fields were flooded, and complaints were boiling.
He said it was a punishment from God and that he was lacking in virtue.
Also, because he delayed appointing a concubine and selecting a concubine, speculation continued, and the aristocratic families behind him were quite complaining.
Pei Zanxue didn't understand why he was causing trouble for her, since she was obviously not the most suitable person.
She took the initiative to see him for the first time, and then saw Xie Jinghuai, who was the most lonely and frustrated, with his shoulders drooping like that, standing on the broken walls destroyed by the flood.
The sky was filled with brilliant flaming rays of light, but his shadow was filled with frustration.
Something was crushing him.
