Shangguan Jingxuan nodded, slowly paced in and sat down opposite Yuan Chengcheng: "I heard that you came back but haven't seen you, so I guessed that you must have dealt with the affairs of Yuan Xiao, how did the matter go?" ”

"It's not a big deal, it's all taken care of." Yuan Qingcheng hung his head a little weakly, and didn't dare to look at him. She has always regarded Shangguan Jingxuan as a friend, and she has never hidden the matter of the cold night from Huangfu, but she doesn't know why, when she thinks of everything in Xiangguo, she has a faint feeling of guilt and uneasiness in her heart.

Yuan Chengcheng didn't know how much he had heard just now, but when she came back from Xiangguo, he asked her about Huaguo, and this kind of questioning was obviously to listen to those words. She would rather he ask her generously, so that avoiding asking will make her even more unsure of how to face him.

The two were silent for a while, and Hongchan's slightly melancholy gaze unconsciously fell on Shangguan Jingxuan, but Shangguan Jingxuan was just immersed in his own thoughts, and did not show any special performance. Hongchan quietly motioned for the maids to retreat, leaving only the two of them to talk alone in the room.

Shangguan Jingxuan's face made Yuan Qingcheng a little uncertain, and he hesitated for a moment whether to explain to him first why he didn't go to see him immediately, or to explain what he did in Xiangguo first.

Shangguan Jingxuan picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup for Yuan Qingcheng, and poured himself a cup, he took a sip of the teacup on the table and tried to calm his mood, but the sweetness of weekdays was bitter today. He looked at Yuan Chengcheng, who looked uneasy, and wanted to speak several times, but found that the question he wanted to ask was not that he didn't know the answer.

"I'm really with the emperor these days." Yuan Chengcheng suddenly took the initiative to speak, "He has never treated me so well, and I don't even expect us to have such a day for a long time." ”

"I'm on a horse, he's holding the reins in the snow, I'm not the princess of Hua, and he's not the king of Ning. Forgetting his reckless plans, and forgetting the bleakness of the future of Huaguo, I am just his princess, and he is only my groom. ”

"When I'm cold, he will help me get dressed, and when I want to step on the snow, he will carry me off the horse, and we can completely forget the existence of those guards, just like every pair of lovers in the world, walking hand in hand in the snow, hugging each other in the cold wind to keep warm. It was as if I had gone back to the days before the birthday party, except that I had already met him. ”

Shangguan Jingxuan's hand holding the teacup tightened for a while, but he still didn't say anything. Yuan Chengcheng reached out and held his hand holding the cup in the palm of his hand: "But what about this?" Jing Xuan, you already knew that I loved him, didn't you? He is the person I love the most, and you are also the most important person to me. I said that no matter what the road ahead, we will always support each other, have you forgotten? ”

Yuan Chengcheng can't give up her lover for her friends, but she won't give up her friends because of her lover, why does Shangguan Jingxuan have to force her to make a choice?

"I haven't forgotten, but it's because I haven't forgotten that it's even more painful." Shangguan Jingxuan opened his mouth with some self-deprecation. Yuan Qingcheng looked at him puzzled, she loved Huangfu Yehan He already knew, since he already knew, why did he start to suffer now?

"Do you think I'm hurt because the person you love is my cousin and not me?" Shangguan Jingxuan raised his head and said with difficulty, "Allure, what really hurt me is not your love, but my sudden discovery that I don't have as many chips as I imagined to give you happiness." ”

Shangguan Jingxuan finally said the words that had been buried in his heart: "Actually, when I went to Ningguo to look for you, I first met your father in Huaguo. Strictly speaking, he summoned me. ”

"Father has seen you?" Yuan Chengcheng was a little surprised, she had never heard him mention it.

"Yes. He asked me why I was going to snatch you back from Huangfu Yehan. To this day, Shangguan Jingxuan still remembers Yuan Kejin's meaningful eyes vividly, "I replied to him, I won't make you sad, I can guarantee you happiness for the rest of your life." Your father just laughed when he heard this, and I didn't understand why, so I asked him what he was laughing at. Your father did not answer, but asked me a question. ”

Yuan Chengcheng looked at him curiously, and Shangguan Jingxuan continued: "He said that there is a person who is an alcoholic, and he can live boringly for three hundred years without drinking, and he can only live happily for thirty years after drinking. He asked me if it was better for this man to live 300 years or 30 years. ”

"And how did you answer?"

"I thought about it for a while, and I said that maybe the man could drink less, and not have to live only thirty years or three hundred years of tediousness. Your father still just laughed when he heard this, and I asked him what he was laughing at. He said you must not be an alcoholic, at least not an alcoholic. ”

"It's true that I'm not an alcoholic, not to mention that I don't have much of a penchant for alcohol, and even if I did, my study of health preservation from a young age would not have allowed me to take my life to drink alcohol. But what I don't understand is, whether I can bring you back or not has anything to do with whether I drink too much or not. ”

Yuan Chengcheng was also confused, and he didn't understand which play his father was singing. Shangguan Jingxuan explained: "Allure, don't you still understand? In fact, your father did not ask about wine, but about love, and the person he said was a drunkard like life. ”

"There is too much estrangement between you and Huangfu Yehan, I used to think that if you can't be together, even if I can't give you a strong love like him in Huaguo, at least I can guarantee you a comfortable and worry-free life. It's like thirty years and three hundred years that your father said, and I thought I could give you three hundred years of peace. ”

"During my time in the Huawang Palace, I watched you take on the responsibility of Huaguo alone, and the whole person became more and more mature, and I became more and more worried. But you've changed, haven't we all changed? I told myself that maybe everyone's life is like this, the days of visiting the garden and arguing about life are gone with the youth, and we can only continue to mature and be lonely like this. ”

What he said Yuan Chengcheng actually thought about it, everyone can only continue to grow up, and can only face more and more dilemmas in life, but is there anything wrong with this?

"I thought you were unhappy because life is like this, and no one is powerless to change it, but every time you see Huangfu Ye Han, I deeply understand that this is not the case. When you are with him, you have never been so depressed as when you were in Huawang Palace, no matter how big the problems are ahead, you can always think of the good place, your world is full of happy things, and he can always turn you back into the person before the birthday banquet! ”

"I thought I could guarantee you three hundred years of boredom, but seeing the appearance of you and Huangfu Ye Han together, I suddenly preferred that you only have thirty years of happiness!"
