159.Chapter 159: There is no choice
After he left the study, Li Hui gently stroked his already numb lips. The afterglow of the kiss has not yet dissipated, but with a slight touch, the scene seems to appear in front of me. The hot blood in the bottom of my heart involuntarily boiled again, surging and whistling all over my body, making my whole body a little hot.
With such a fierce reaction, how could King Xin'an calm down and think? He could only go with the flow in it, thinking: It turns out that being with someone he loves can be so emotional just by kissing? I thought he was an older man who had been married, and it was impossible for him to be teased by a young boy - but what was the marriage in the previous life compared to this kiss? What is the experience of love between men and women?
No, he's not a young man for the first time anymore, and he shouldn't just think about this kind of thing. Sure enough, we still have to weigh carefully whether they should be together or not......
Just as Li Hui was barely retracting his mind and was about to think carefully, the door of the study suddenly opened again. He looked up and saw Wang Zixian walking in with a food table, and raised his eyebrows with a smile and asked, "Xuanqi, how are you thinking about it?" ”
"......" Li Hui was really a little helpless, "It's only been a moment, what can you think about?" Aren't you going to leave me alone to think? Let's go for a walk in the garden. Today is the Shangsi Festival, and the sacrifices and purifications are all arranged by you. The person who attracted his heart was right in front of him, and he couldn't concentrate just by looking at his face, hearing his voice, or even just breathing, let alone thinking about "life events"?
Isn't this kind of thing supposed to be what the heart wants? It only takes a split second to make a decision. The prince smiled and happily shared his experience with him, "At that time, I was already heartbroken just thinking that you were going to marry someone else. Therefore, almost without thinking, I secretly swore in my heart that I must be a couple with you for the rest of my life. ”
"If you plan to maintain only brotherhood and friendship, then I will probably not be able to live with you in this life. Because I can't watch you get married and have children, and I can't suppress the jealousy and anger in my heart. Therefore, at that time, we may have to forget about each other. ”
"......" Li Hui tightened his eyebrows, "Are you threatening me?" Didn't he mean by these words that if they could not stay together for the rest of their lives, they would have to cut off their friendship? Never to see each other again?! It can only be either/or, and it is impossible to take a step back and open the sky?!
"No, it's not a threat, it's just a statement. Since the day and night can only be torment, why look at each other in pairs? The prince put the table in front of him and stared at him deeply, "Affection is not something that can be advanced or retreated. Xuan Qi, your idea is too naïve. Think about it, how would you feel if I got married? Can you smile at me and my wife and children? Now that we've come to this point, we can't go back. ”
"......" for a while, Li Hui was speechless. He had to admit that as long as he thought that the group of people who caught his son-in-law under the list were very likely to succeed, as long as he thought that a strange girl would accompany this person, his heart would inevitably become bitter.
Seeing that he was silent, Wang Zixian smiled: "Okay, even if you think about it, I won't force you, let alone threaten you." But for now, don't worry about it, just drink the soup first. "Advance and retreat, false and real, true and false, it is also time to use all kinds of tricks and means to grind Xuanqi to loosen his mouth as soon as possible. After all, they are indeed happy with each other, but it is because he has too many worries that he is reluctant to respond. Of course, he must also prove that these concerns are not to be feared and can be resolved sooner or later.
With him by his side, Li Hui couldn't think about it anymore, so he had to follow his arrangement. Wang Zixian did not inquire about the matter anymore, but invited him to take a walk in the garden with him. The two of them stopped and walked by the lake, admiring the beauty of late spring, which seemed to be no different from the past, but in fact there was a wonderful atmosphere surging around them—inexplicably hot, and inexplicably tranquil, as if they had become a world on their own.
When Princess Changning led Princess Yong'an over, she saw such a scene. She looked at them from afar, her brow furrowed slightly. In the past, she would have hardly noticed this abnormality. However, when she is really attracted to a person, she becomes extremely sensitive.
The real friend of life and death will never be the brother and the prince like this. It seems that just looking at each other and smiling, they all exude affection beyond tacit understanding. Looking at it, the eyes of the two of them were even more affectionate than those of her and Wang Zimu, and their behavior was extremely calm, as if they should have gotten along like this.
Thinking of the young man in her heart, her eyebrows stretched out again, and the corners of her lips curled. As a younger sister, it's not her turn to take care of her brother's emotional affairs, isn't there still a lobby brother? What's more, after the Du family's lady dissolved the marriage contract before, she was still worried that her brother would be depressed, and now someone comforts him, wouldn't it be right? As for whether it is male or female, it doesn't matter at all. As a royal clan, what is it to do whatever you want?
When Li Hui found out about the two sisters, they were already close at hand. Princess Yong'an stretched out her arms and threw herself into his arms, complaining coquettishly: "Today is obviously the Shangsi Festival, and my brother won't take us out to be stubborn." "In the little guy's limited memory, every festival is a day to go out of the palace to play, and it has never changed. How do you know, she finally remembered the Shangsi Festival, but Brother forgot it completely?
Li Hui hurriedly hugged her: "It's not bad to be stubborn in King Pu's mansion." There are so many people outside, we don't have to join in the fun. If you go to Qujiangchi, I'm afraid you can only see a black crowd, will you feel happy? Even if you want to go to Hibiscus Garden, maybe the car will only be blocked in the middle of the road, and it will be almost dark when you get to the place. ”
The little guy pouted, rested his little head on his shoulder, looked at the sparkling lake, and nodded very reluctantly: "Then Brother will remember to take us to Naughty next time, and go to Qujiang Pond and Furong Garden." ”
"Okay." Speaking of the Hibiscus Garden, Li Hui remembered the Hibiscus Banquet, and couldn't help but look back at Wang Zixian, his lips raised slightly, "I heard that this Hibiscus Banquet is scheduled for the end of March." When the time comes, let's go and see the new jinshi together, how about it? This time the flower envoy must be our new branch of the first head, see what good flowers he found, when the time comes, how about it? ”
The little guy's eyes lit up, and he stroked his palms and smiled: "Shape, I want to pick the best hairpin to wear!" ”
The prince bowed his head and promised: "Okay, I will definitely find the most beautiful peony hairpin for your lord to wear." After that, he looked at Li Hui with a smile and raised his eyebrows: "What flowers does Xuan Qi want?" The hairpin on the head must also be extremely romantic. Li Hui has never liked hairpins, of course he knows it very well, he just teases him.
Sure enough, King Xin'an glanced at him: "I'll just do it." In front of his two younger sisters, he couldn't do anything that damaged his brother's dignity, so he had to be calm.
Princess Changning looked at them with great interest, and suddenly smiled: "What? How can the new branch be so thick-hearted? I just thought about sending flowers to Wan Niang and my brother, but I never thought of giving them to me? ”
"Men and women don't kiss, don't dare to misunderstand." Wang Zixian replied calmly, his expression unchanged.
Li Hui shook his head with a smile: "Yue Niang, if you think that the previous rumors have not spread far enough, just ask him." There was a joke in his words, and there were obviously unfinished words: If you really fall into the prince's harmony in the future, you will be the prince's younger brother-in-law, but now you are playing tricks on the eldest brother?
Princess Changning snorted lightly and changed the topic: "Since Wang Xiangtou is back, what ...... Is he back? ”
"He's still at home in Shangzhou." The prince replied, "I just went back to Chang'an because I discussed with Xuanqi about something." Shangzhou still has a lot of things to deal with, and it's time to leave this afternoon. "In fact, there has been nothing to do in Shangzhou in the past two days, nothing more than to continue to hold a cultural meeting, and to attract Xiao Yang's shop and Grange to prepare a dowry. However, if he wanted to take revenge, some of the arrangements had to be done himself.
"Then, when will he come back?" Princess Changning couldn't help but ask again, her cheeks flew a thin red, and her face was full of children's thoughts, and she couldn't hide it.
"If it's a qiē shun lì, it should be the middle of March. If your lord has anything to say, I may be able to convey it on my behalf. ”
“…… I...... Didn't have anything to say...... I just hope to see him soon. ”
"Then I will persuade him to return to Chang'an first." The prince's eyes moved slightly. If the prince can avoid the aftermath, perhaps their brotherhood can continue to maintain the status quo. Of course, he will never interfere with what he will choose when the time comes. A qiē only depends on his mind. However, the matter is ...... I can't say that it will have an impact on his relationship with Princess Changning, which is not strong enough.
Princess Yong'an flashed her eyes, looking at this, and then at that, her face full of doubts: "He? Who is he? Do I recognize it? ”
"Of course you do." Princess Changning pinched the tip of her nose, "Remember when I took the provincial exam, I hugged you to watch the young man who took the Wang-shaped head exam?" Do you remember the young man who gave you peach blossom branches in the Temple of Mercy and Grace? ”
"Remember, he's Wang Sanlang." Princess Yong'an nodded vigorously, "Sister said that he is very good...... Very nice people. ”
Looking at the delicate smiling faces of the two sisters, Li Hui's gaze was very soft. Perhaps, if you can get Wan Niang's joy and trust, maybe the saint and Queen Du's perception of the prince will be better? In any case, being able to please his mother's family is also the strength of a new son-in-law.
Wang Zixian said in a low voice: "Xuanqi, I can't say, this time I will bring some children from Shangzhou over." It is difficult to settle them for the time being, so they can only live in the vine garden. ”
Li Hui nodded: "It's okay." But if you are in Shangzhou, you have to be careful. ”
"I can save it, you can rest assured." The prince's voice was very gentle. However, the next moment, his words changed: "These days, you have to think about it." When I return to Chang'an, it's time for you to make a decision. ”
......Hearing this, Li Hui felt that his heart was extremely heavy--could he have any other choice?
