Qingchuan History

Chapter 55
Gu Xinglang's expression became a little pale, and he looked at the vast night again.Those eyes cast extremely far away, all the palaces and pavilions in Qi Palace and those tall phoenix trees seemed to be passed by in an instant.

"You read history, you know how to read the current situation, and you didn't grow up in a temple. You think you are more sober than us. The world is just a game of chess, and Qi Gong is also a game of chess. Including me, Xirun, Xier, and even You are all pawns on the board. In the eyes of the outside world, the three of you entering Qi Palace are all just political marriages. Even the word "joint" is not accurate. Regardless of other things, the establishment of this relationship is actually almost impossible. Both parties are victims. Both are sad."

Ruan Xueyin completely understood what he meant, and was even more surprised by the empathy he showed in this matter, which surpassed the empathy of most men of this generation.Especially, he is still the king.

"At present, Xirun is a good girl; if what happened last month hadn't happened to Shangguan, she would have treated me very well. But I can't let go of all my guard against them." His eyes moved slightly to look at her:
"It's the same for you."

Ruan Xueyin didn't expect him to be honest.

"I don't know much about how you get along with them, but judging from the little things I know, such as the roses in Xirun Temple, you treat them with care."

Gu Xinglang smiled, a little self-deprecating: "Do you think I'm hypocritical?" He turned his gaze to the distance again, "I ask them what they like, try to be satisfied, go to see them every ten days, or even stay overnight, it's really out of The scene needs it. But it can’t be said that there is no sincerity. It’s just this sincerity,”

He paused slightly, "To be precise, it's more like a responsibility. No matter whether they shouldered the mission to enter Qi Palace or not, as women, they entrusted their whole life to me after all. Then I can only do my best under limited conditions, at least Shan Yu Before the attack, leave them some good memories."

He withdrew his gaze and looked at the grand canopy of a nearby sycamore tree: "Sometimes I think about it, if they don't enter the Qi Palace, but marry the princes and sons of their mother country, they don't have to travel thousands of miles to other places, let alone bear the guard from their husbands. After all, I can't stand them."

Ruan Xueyin was moved.In troubled times, the four kingdoms of Qingchuan have their own schemes, and they took the initiative to send their daughters, so how can they blame him?

At this point, he was better than she thought.

"Don't tell me, your lord, in fact, no one thinks that you are guarding against them, including themselves. In comparison, your lord is the real defense against me, and you have never even stepped into the gate of Zhexue Palace."

She said this without any waves, just stating the facts, without any hints or overtones.

But either because of the content itself, or because of the wording of the last half of the sentence, especially the sinking tone of the last few words, people can hear a sense of loss and blame inexplicably.

Gu Xinglang's expression became somewhat indescribable.His eyes seemed to be overflowing with starlight, and they were as deep as an eternal night in an instant, and he looked at her with a half-smile:
"Are you blaming me for not letting you sleep?"

Ruan Xueyin was taken aback for a moment, and then she became very embarrassed. She waved her hands like a rattle: "Absolutely not, your majesty, don't misunderstand." She panicked and actually coughed for a moment.

Seeing how frightened she was, Gu Xinglang felt amused in his heart, but his face remained calm:
"The two of them are not as good as you in case. Just what you have said to me these days, it will never come out of their mouths. And no matter whether you will help the Ruan family in the future, Yin country has been restless for two years, yes It's something everyone knows."

This can be regarded as an answer to the question of "not entering the Zhexue Temple".Then he suddenly thought of a long-standing puzzle:
"When you first entered the palace to cover up your appearance, I thought it was to avoid favor. But when I asked you earlier, you answered that was not the reason."

Ruan Xueyin had already calmed down, "Your Highness has learned from you. I do have this consideration."

This level of consideration naturally refers to avoiding pets.

Gu Xinglang raised his eyebrows.

She hesitated, thinking that the other party had just confessed his attitude towards this grand marriage, and her own thoughts were not unreasonable, so she said frankly:

"I've always told you that I came to Qi Palace not for anything else, but for Heluotu. I will return to Pengxi Mountain after I have borrowed things and fulfilled my teacher's entrustment. Since I won't stay for long, it's best to come alone. , and left alone. Your Majesty’s harem is full of famous beauties from Qingchuan, and it will be even more lively in the future, so naturally I’m not far behind.”

Gu Xinglang was very puzzled by this logic.In name, she is already his, and everyone knows her.They are all married in, do you still want to leave?

"You mean, after you finish reading Heluo Picture, you will return to Pengxi Mountain to live?"

"Yes."

"But you're already married."

Ruan Xueyin is very unfamiliar with the word "married".Even though entering the palace as a wife does mean that, after all, she did not pray to heaven and earth, did not enter the bridal chamber, and this husband is not her own husband, it is completely different from the marriage she agrees with, and far from her ideal lifelong event.

"When I was in Pengxi Mountain, I seldom considered the issue of getting married because I was very busy every day. But even so, one thing is clear. People share their husbands."

She looked into his dark and bright eyes, and said seriously: "Your Majesty loves Mrs. Yu, I don't know if you ever thought of taking a scoop of Ruo Shui Sanqian to drink. Of course, this is not realistic for the King, even if the King God may have had such a heart. But for ordinary people like me, this ideal is possible."

Gu Xinglang was a little at a loss.In his teenage years earlier, he really thought that if Ling married him one day, he would never want anyone else.

He was not the crown prince at that time.

He even felt that if the third elder brother wanted to inherit the throne, even if Wan Ling was the empress, he was destined to share favor with others, which was very unfair to her.

However, the world is unpredictable, no matter the person or the situation.Many things have been changed by time.

A rift appeared between him and Wan Ling, and even if it started to scab over now, the imprint seemed to last forever.And it is impossible for him to promise any weak water for three thousand and just take a scoop to drink.

He lost this freedom.

The atmosphere became heavy.

Gu Xinglang fell into various thoughts.There is Wanling, Duan Xirun and Shangguan concubine, family, country and world, past, present and future.Many things are clear at first glance, but once you think about it, they become complicated and chaotic.

Ruan Xueyin didn't know what he was thinking about, but only thought it was related to Ji Wanling.

She was in an inexplicably bad mood.

Almost at the same time, the two of them felt that it was better to discuss other issues than discussing feelings.The true and false, the calculation and planning in the eyes of others are far simpler than these.

At least I can understand it clearly, so that my mind doesn't get more chaotic and my mood gets worse.

Gu Xinglang remained silent, as if he didn't want to say a word.

Ruan Xueyin didn't know where her bad mood came from, but she never had any emotional ups and downs, and it was easy to adjust.After all, it's other people's business, so let them get entangled, why should you feel uncomfortable when you're an outsider?
