Chapter 486: Know Me Like You 07

Yu Wenmingxuan was startled for a moment, then smiled, stretched out his hand to tuck Zijin's long hair behind his ears, and said with a smile:
"You also said what I said,
One of them is a prince and the other is a princess. Although they are not related by blood, they are still brothers and sisters after all.
How can there be love between brother and sister?"
"But...but if even people like them can't get married, what about us?"
Zijin finally expressed his worries.
Since ancient times, the life of a woman in the palace is like grass. If even the prince or princess cannot have true love,
Then what qualifications does she have, as a mere second-grade maid, to talk about happiness and true love?
"How are we the same as them?"
Yu Wenmingxuan grasped Zijin's shoulders and explained: "Being born in an emperor's family, family ties, marriage, love...
Their lives were destined to be impure from the beginning!
For them, all this is just a bargaining chip for the balance of power!"
"Is it a bargaining chip to balance power?"
Zijin murmured Yu Wenmingxuan's words, but the second prince's sad eyes flashed through his mind:
He chose Huiqian, his so-called love, so-called marriage,
Isn't it just what he uses to consolidate his power and interests in order to gain a bargaining chip in the world?
"And we are different."
Yu Wenmingxuan looked intently at Zijin's slightly dim eyes and said firmly:
"Although you and I are both in the palace, our roots are not here.
When you are twenty-five years old, you can leave the palace.
And I can also resign from my position as court musician,
Then we can stay together in a small ordinary village and live at ease in the world."
When Jingyu Wenmingxuan said this, Zijin couldn't help but look forward to it.
For a moment, she seemed to have seen their own cabin,
There are peach blossoms in front of the house, there is a trickle of water flowing by, there is still smoke from the kitchen...
"Will we ever have such a day?" Zijin looked up at Yu Wenmingxuan.
