788 Chapter 788 I Have Always Loved You
"But now, I want to tell you."
After saying this, he stopped again and was silent for a long time. I almost thought he would not speak anymore, but saw his eyes staring at a candlestick placed beside the bed. The candlelight swayed, radiating a warm orange-red light in the dark night.
And the light shone in his eyes and also gave his eyes a warmth.
In an instant, he seemed to be in the warm spring of March, and his whole body became lighter.
At this moment, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then looked at me and said, "Do you remember? I once told you that when I first learned about my life experience, I was hit hard and almost couldn't stand it."
I don't know why he suddenly talked about this, but I understand why he wanted everyone out. Looking at his pale face, I nodded silently.
"Then do you know how I got through it?"
"..." I shook my head, but my heart seemed to be shining in by the candlelight, and there was a little light.
Why did he tell me about this at this time and under this situation?
Looking at my confused eyes, his smile showed a little helplessness of "It's true" and said, "It's because when I knew my life experience, I also saw someone."
"……one person?"
"right."
He nodded gently, because the movement seemed to have touched the wound on his chest. He immediately frowned and said "Hmm". I hurriedly said, "You'd better stop saying anything. If you have anything to say, I'll say it after it's cured. Wouldn't it be good?"
He gritted his teeth, as if he was enduring the great pain, and a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Finally, he recovered for a while, his face turned paler, but he raised his head and smiled at me: "I must say it now. Because only this moment will you not be scared away by me."
"..." I couldn't speak, looked at the sweat on his face, and gently took out a silk squid from his arms and wiped it.
My actions no longer stopped him. Pei Yuanxiu smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, and continued, "At that time, I accidentally learned about my life experience and the prince who was regarded as the foundation of the country by the world and was flattered by the ministers in the court. He was not the son of the royal family. The Nine-Five Supreme sitting on the dragon throne was not my biological father... Do you know how sad I am?"
I was silent and nodded.
Even ordinary people, if they know that their father who has been with him for decades is not his biological child, they will feel like a bolt from the blue. His identity is so special, this truth is not only the truth, but also a major blow to him.
If a person with a slightly weak mind may really be as he said and cannot get through it.
But he—
Pei Yuanxiu looked at the candlelight and said slowly: "At that time, I was hit hard, as if the sky was falling and the earth was sinking. People who passed by were greeting me, obedient to me, and even laughing at me would make me feel scared. It was not fear of them, but fear. Once the truth was revealed, the flattery of these people would immediately turn into irony; their obedience would turn into harm; and no one would smile at me again..."
“…”
"Everything about mine will disappear."
“…”
"That day, I was like a ghost, unable to find my place to go, and could only walk around the palace aimlessly. But no matter where I went, there were people saluting me and flattering me, but I was becoming more and more afraid, even when I saw a figure."
“…”
"I'm not afraid of them being there, I'm afraid they will leave."
“…”
"So, I fled almost in a panic and avoided everyone."
“…”
"Then, I walked on a very quiet path."
When he said this, he didn't know whether it was because his breath was weak after being injured, or because of the tenderness in his memories, his voice also became lighter, like a dream-
"The path was very narrow, with dense bamboo on both sides, covering the entire path. When I walked alone, it seemed that the path finally separated me from everyone else, making me feel that there was a moment of silence.
Then, I heard someone chanting the words.
The elegant style is wide and green pavilion, and the road is wide and bright. The house of the servants of Zhilan and Yushu. A picture of Luobin.
I met you for two years in person, and this year I am so happy that I can be praised. I will add more to my superiors. But it is eight thousand years old.
You must have never imagined that I was full of confusion and helplessness, and after hearing the sound, it completely disappeared.
I followed the sound slowly and saw the inner pavilion. The door was still empty, and the shadow of the bamboo leaves fell on the door, swaying and undulating as the sound went up and down. When I pushed open the door, I saw a clean girl sitting by the window, holding a book, smiling.
Her skin was white, as fair as a whole piece of mutton fat jade, without any flaws; she sat at the window, and the sunlight shone on her forehead, clear and dazzling; she was not only dignified, but also clean, without any makeup, without rouge, or eyebrow swept, but her eyebrows were very beautiful, and her eyes were particularly beautiful, like a pool of spring water, and as if the stars in the sky were melting inside, brighter and more agile than the sun shining on her face; her eyelashes were long and upturned, and when she looked down at the book, the eyelashes were like a perching bird, but when she looked up at the sun outside, the bird seemed to fly.
Moreover, in her eyes, I saw that the entire imperial city was almost extinct...
and wisdom.
Then, I walked in.
When she saw me appear, she was shocked. Her eyes were like the deer I almost shot in the paddock, clean and innocent, because I suddenly broke into it and was filled with horror. At the beginning, I didn't shoot the deer, and she - at that moment, I seemed to have made up my mind not to hurt her.
Moreover, I saw that she had a good manners. Although she was polite to the palace maids, she was neither humble nor arrogant. She was more dignified than the daughters of princes and ministers.
I asked her to find a rare ancient book. In fact, I just wanted to stay in the inner cabinet for a while, look at her more, and say a few more words to her. Unexpectedly, she found it soon, and I found that she compiled all the ancient books in the inner cabinet according to the annual calendar and sorted it out clearly. This is something that the Royal Bookstore had always wanted to do, but had no time to do. Unexpectedly, she, a little palace maid, had done it.
When she took the book to enter the book, although she hid the paper she used to use, I still saw it. Her handwriting was left on it, which was a good spiritual flying scripture.
I only realized that there was a rare treasure hidden in the inner cabinet.
At that time, I found that my eyes could no longer be removed from her face.
Perhaps, that girl is not a superb beauty, and I have really seen many beautiful women. She is indeed inferior to them, or rather, much less beautiful.
But, no matter whether you believe it or not, after seeing the faint scenery, I can't see any other rich colors.
When you first see a lotus, you will realize that peony is not beautiful, but precious."
After saying this, he slowly raised his head, looking at me who was almost shocked to hear it, and raised his hand with difficulty, rubbed my cheeks with his palms, which had been wiped out by tears. There was a light that was almost obsessed with. He smiled gently and said, "After so many years, you are still the same as when I first saw it."
Another hot tears fell, and immediately wet his palms.
How is that possible?
How could I, haven't changed yet?
After so many years, how could I still experience the same as the girl who was in the inner cabinet and was full of expectations for my life and future? My love for half of my life is full of tragedy, how could I still be as clear and exquisite as that state of mind?
I choked and said, "I'm different. I've been different for a long time."
Pei Yuanxiu didn't say anything, but he was still looking at me with a curved corner of his eyes, with a warm smile in his eyes. He said, "Later, I often go to see you."
“…”
I was stunned for a moment and subconsciously said, "But I--"
"Yes, you don't know."
“…”
"You never knew when I looked at you."
“…”
"So, I know that when you laugh, there is a slight smile on your right face; I have heard you tell stories, and you tell the story of amazement, telling the story of burning boats, and pleading guilty. I have heard of it; I know that you like Li Bai's poems and are well versed in the way of checking and balance of the country by sending Lingzi outside the Hidden Spirit Sect. Although you don't understand what you said, that Yuer completely doesn't understand... Maybe it's because you don't understand that you will tell her; I also know that you are usually very frugal, and you save the monthly salary you receive every month, and you almost don't need money, but you will spend money to take care of a friend who was locked up in the cold palace."
“…”
"I know better..." He looked into my eyes and said slowly: "You don't want to be compassionate with the dragon and the phoenix, and you don't want to be related to any of us princes. You just want to spend a few years in the palace quietly, then leave the palace and live your own life."
“…”
Every time he said a word, my face turned pale, and when he finished the last sentence, my face turned pale.
He really knows everything.
Even Yuer often says things that shame me, even what I thought in my heart, and what I once accidentally revealed to Yuer, he knows.
I never thought that I thought my life would have other people's footprints.
But he has been behind me, waiting quietly, so I have never seen his footprints, and I have never cherished his eyes...
"Qingying."
He called my name, and even his breathing became heavier. I almost didn't dare to raise my head and met his gaze. His dark eyes were filled with solemnity that he had never seen before. He looked at me and said word by word:
