Kang Yanning's face suddenly turned red. Even though she had lived for two generations, she still couldn't calm down when she looked at the prince's starry eyes.
Her heart was beating very fast, as if it was completely out of control and about to burst out of her chest.
Wei Jialing looked at her reaction and felt a little relieved from his inner uneasiness.
The cherished woman in front of me didn't reject her immediately or show any expression of disgust. She must be affectionate.
This was also the first time that Wei Jialing solemnly told her his feelings.
Wei Jialing was drugged by internal fighting in the palace since he was a child. The imperial doctor said that he had a stubborn illness and would not live long. However, relying on his own perseverance and his desire to avenge his mother, he endured the cough that kept him awake at night.
I have been undergoing marrow cleaning and acupuncture every half a month, and I have been holding on until now.
For him, feelings are the most useless things, far less important than the throne and revenge. It wasn't until he met her...
When the imperial doctor said that the medicine was really useful and could cure life, Wei Jialing immediately thought of that girl.
A trace of extravagant hope arose in his heart. If he could live a little longer, could he openly tell the girl that he loved her? Could he stay with that girl and spend the rest of his life together?
He was still hesitant at first, and he was also afraid. He could see that Kang Yanning didn't have much interest in love. She seemed to cherish her family, prefer her friends, and even pay more attention to her business.
Kang Yanning was different from ordinary women. Her eyes did not share the slightest bit with the men at the top of the Wei Dynasty. Even Wei Jialing could catch Wei Jiaxiao's disgust in her eyes.
This made him happy and hesitant. Wei Jiaxiao was deep-minded and would use any means, including his mother-in-law...Shu Concubine, who was the main driving force behind the death of his mother-in-law. He would definitely drive them into the abyss. Kang Yanning didn't like him and asked Wei Jialing to let him go.
Heartbroken.
But... what if she didn't like him either... so he didn't dare to make a move. Wei Jialing was afraid of making Kang Yanning unhappy, and he couldn't accept Kang Yanning looking at him with that kind of disgust... Every time he thought of this, his heart... couldn't help but twitch.
It started to hurt.
That's why he sent people to keep an eye on Kang Yanning to avoid harm. He knew that Kang Yanning took people to Tai Hospital today, but it didn't matter. He could protect everything she wanted to do and protect all her secrets. But if she was harmed,
He would definitely appear as soon as possible. So as soon as she heard that the third prince appeared by her side today, Wei Jialing rushed over immediately.
Wei Jialing just looked at her quietly. Although he didn't touch her, Kang Yanning felt as if he was holding her in his arms.
Kang Yanning admitted that at that moment, she felt completely soft-hearted. She could see Wei Jialing's hesitation, which was a sign of respect for her, and there was even love in his eyes. At that moment, there was something like a devil.
The voice was persuading her to "accept it...accept it...don't you also like him very much...there will never be such a good man again, so you have to enjoy yourself in time."
But... once she closed her eyes, she remembered the scene of her family's death, the third prince's arrogant and domineering face, and the pain of hitting a pillar.
She...is afraid.
Kang Yanning has not avenged her family, so how can she fall in love? She is even more afraid that no man in the world is a good man, and they are just doing it for profit.
She opened her eyes again, and her eyes were calm.
Wei Jialing felt a little depressed when he saw this, but he was still unwilling to give up. He clearly saw that she liked her, and it was not fake.
Kang Yanning's voice was cold: "Your Highness, please get out of the way. What's the difference between your appearance now and that of the third prince?"
The woman he liked naturally knew where to poke him would hurt the most. He felt sad and let go of the hand around him, but he was also afraid that she would hit the tree, so he took her forward slightly.
Feeling his kindness, Kang Yanning felt a little sad in her heart, but she still insisted, "I believe His Highness the Crown Prince has tested the medicine and knows it is a real medicine. Do you want to express your gratitude?"
Wei Jialing was stunned. Is she angry because of this? He quickly explained, "Of course it's not...I am against you..."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Kang Yanning didn't want to hear what he said next to disturb her mind, so she immediately interrupted, "You and I are not the same person. I'm just a little girl, and I have more important things to do. You don't have to be there.
It’s a waste of time on me.”
Kang Yanning didn't dare to raise her head when she spoke. She was also afraid to see the hurt look in Wei Jialing's eyes. She knew that she was now the most evil woman in the painting book.
The prince is such a good person...but she...is already riddled with holes. She cannot drag him into the abyss and bear hatred.
"So..." She couldn't say more cruel words after all, "Just do it for yourself."
After that, she turned around and left without looking again.
The moment she turned her head, her tears couldn't stop flowing down her face. She walked in a daze. Her heart felt empty, as if she had lost something very important just now.
At this time, Huaili also walked out at the agreed time, but found a man standing motionless like a sculpture under a big tree not far away. Following his gaze, Huaili also saw Kang Yanning hurriedly walking out.
She was still immersed in the joy of meeting her brother. Only when she caught up with Kang Yanning did she realize that she had tears streaming down her face. Huaili looked back at the big tree and saw that the figure that was standing there was no longer there.
Huaili turned around and sighed silently. The princess was afraid that she would regret it.
After returning home from the feast, it’s this year’s New Year’s Eve. Kang Yanning’s family finally spent their first reunion year in Kyoto.
A family of four sat in the main hall, chatting and joking with each other, joking about marrying Kang Yanyu a wife, and looking forward to next year.
Kang Yanning is very satisfied. This is what she wants, her family is here and she can look forward to the future. There are no swords and swords, no intrigues, only family reunion, health and safety.
Kang Yanning has been depressed since she passed the age. She stays in the house all day and does not want to go out to play. Even Ye Feiwei and Ling Puyu came to invite them, but they refused because they wanted to spend more time with their family.
.
Everyone thought that after the New Year, King Kang would take Princess Kang back to Yucheng. Naturally, Kang Yanning was reluctant, so he gave her some time at home.
The day before King Kang and Princess Kang set off, Kang Yanning carried her own little pillow and wandered to King Kang's bedroom.
"Auntie, Yan Ning wants to sleep with you today." Kang Yanning was still like a child, shouting at the door unreasonably.
King Kang raised his eyebrows and wanted to hug his wife to keep her warm all night, but that was probably out of the question.
Princess Kang pushed King Kang, "Get out quickly. Didn't you hear what your daughter said? Don't let the child see the joke."
King Kang smiled helplessly, turned around and opened the door. He looked at Kang Yanning, who had her hands on her waist and looked energetic. He laughed a little, rubbed her face randomly with his big palm, retaliated, and left laughing.
King Kang enjoyed this family happiness very much.
"Auntie!" Kang Yanning stamped her feet angrily, "Daddy messed up my bun."
Princess Kang smiled and waved, "Come in quickly, it's cold outside. I'll comb your hair."
Princess Kang pulled Kang Yanning, pressed her in front of the dowry, carefully separated her hair, and prepared to comb her again.
Kang Yanning held her hand and said, "Mom, you're going to bed, so just comb your hair."
Princess Kang nodded, picked up the comb, and gently combed her hair open inch by inch.
Kang Yanning looked at her mother-in-law in the mirror. Her hair was slightly gray. It turned out that she had inadvertently noticed that her mother-in-law was getting older.
Princess Kang behind her also felt a little emotional, "The last time my grandma combed your hair was when you were little. You were the same way, making noises about sleeping with my grandma."
Kang Yanning smiled, then held Princess Kang's hand and said sternly, "Yanning is naughty and makes parents worry."
Princess Kang smiled and shook her head, "Your brother and you are already very good children. You have never used your father's name to show off, let alone bully men and women, or do evil things.
On the contrary, your brother took the initiative to join the camp to share the burden for your father. Although you like to play around, you also learned to be sensible after arriving in Kyoto and made your own way. Your father and I are very proud of you."
Kang Yanning was startled. She remembered that in her previous life, she was willful and insisted on marrying the third prince, whom her parents did not like. She buried her head in the arms of Princess Kang behind her, "What if one day the two of us do something wrong."
Princess Kang patted her on the shoulder, "It's the father's fault if you don't educate her. If one day, you and your brother do something wrong, your father and mother-in-law will bear the responsibility together with you."
Yes...I will bear it all. This is my family. They were framed and lost their lives for their own choices.
Kang Yanning couldn't bear the tears anymore and burst out of her eyes.
Princess Kang combed her hair and said, "Okay, you go to bed first, and I will comb my hair."
Kang Yanning didn't want Princess Kang to see that she was crying and worried, so she nodded with her back to Princess Kang, turned around and returned to the bed.
By the time Princess Kang finished washing, she blew out the candlestick and went to bed. Kang Yanning had regained her energy and looked at her mother with wide eyes.
Princess Kang laughed out loud, "Why are you still acting like a child?" She patted Kang Yanning's back again and again, saying "Yanning."
Kang Yanning was like a baby in her mother's arms, she would fall asleep unnaturally, and she hummed unconsciously.
"Tell your mother whether you are interested in the prince."
In an instant, Kang Yanning was awake.
She was silent for a moment and asked, "Why did my mother say that?"
"Your father told me when he came back. He said that you seemed to be in love with the prince."
Daddy thinks... we two... like each other...?
"I don't know." Kang Yanning's voice was a little confused.
Princess Kang softened her voice and said, "Why don't you know?"
Maybe it was because Aniang’s embrace was too warm, so she unconsciously expressed her inner doubts.
"I don't know... whether the prince is a good person, whether he will harm us... harm me. I don't know how long his love will last."
Princess Kang never knew that her daughter would have so many doubts. She sighed in her heart that she had grown up after all.
