Chapter 160: What is Love?
Shangguan Jingxuan went to Anguo with the mentality of never going back, thinking that he might never see Yuan Chengcheng again in his life, but after staying in Anguo for a day, he returned to Huaguo in despair.
Yuan Chengcheng was not surprised by his appearance, she stood on the city tower with a smile, watching the dilemma Shangguan Jingxuan wandering downstairs, just not letting people open the palace door for him.
"Didn't you say you might never see me again? Why did you come back so soon? Yuan Chengcheng's mischievous look made Shangguan Jingxuan suddenly have the illusion of returning to when he first met, he looked at her happily in a daze, and he didn't know whether he should be happy or sad for a while......
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Shangguan Jingxuan didn't react, Yuan Chengcheng thought that he was joking, and hurriedly waved his hand at the people next to him, signaling them to open the palace door immediately.
Shangguan Jingxuan's departure made Yuan Chengcheng very uneasy, and almost as soon as he left, she immediately sent someone to Anguo to inquire about the news. The spy who went to Anguo said that everything was normal in Anguo, and she estimated that this time he must have used his brother's chicken feathers as an arrow. Sure enough, it almost only took a round trip time for Shangguan Jingxuan to come back again. It's just that she didn't expect that Shangguan Jingxuan would suddenly be so depressed when she came back this time.
"Why don't you talk all the time? Are you mad at me? I wouldn't have been joking with you if I had known! Yuan Chengcheng secretly tilted his head to look at him with some trepidation, and saw that although he frowned, he didn't look angry, and couldn't help frowning, "Could it be that your brother Wang sent you some difficult task again?" If you just say it, I'll do it for you! ”
Anyway, it is an open secret that Shangguan Jingwen sent Jing Xuan to be a spy in Huaguo, no matter how difficult it is, it is nothing more than stealing military intelligence, but not to mention whether Jing Xuan has this ability, as far as his brother's brain is concerned, he should not bet all his hopes of obtaining intelligence on his younger brother.
Seeing that Shangguan Jingxuan still didn't speak, Yuan Qingcheng scratched the back of his head: "If it's not even this, then ...... Could it be that your brother wants to tell you about family affairs, and you are not happy? Speaking of which, Shangguan Jingxuan's age is not young, and there is a brother who can give birth to him, and it is indeed quite anxious that he has not yet had a daughter-in-law at this age.
"Your mood seems to be much better than when I left...... Shangguan Jingxuan said suddenly, his simple expression didn't show too much emotion.
"Huh?" Yuan Qingcheng shrugged his shoulders and said happily, "I also think it's quite strange!" A few days ago, I thought about everything in a bad place, and I couldn't be happy, and I suddenly felt better these days! ”
That's because the effect of the medicine has just passed, Shangguan Jingxuan thought to himself, just like the sunshine after a rainstorm, it is always brighter than the usual sunshine. It's just that I don't know how much Brother Wang's medicine is, and I hope there are really no sequelae.
"It's you, why did you go home and suddenly wilt like this?" Yuan Chengcheng looked at him with concern, but he secretly thought in his heart, in such a heavy family, I am afraid that I can't even think about it! If only he could cut off the relationship with Shangguan Jingwen, he wouldn't have to go back to suffer that anger in this life!
"I just suddenly didn't know what was right and what was wrong, what was to hold onto, and what was to let go." Yuan Chengcheng looked at him blankly, not understanding what he was talking about.
Shangguan Jingxuan sighed: "I suddenly found that this kind of love and the like can't get pain, and it is still painful when you get it." People always inevitably fall in love with another person in this life, but the lovely results are painful. ”
"Why did you suddenly have such pessimistic thoughts?" Yuan Chengcheng felt a little incomprehensible, she turned her head to look at Hongchan on the side, wondering what she thought.
And Hongchan, who has always been indifferent, seems to have fallen into a person's sadness at this moment because of Shangguan Jingxuan's words. Her mother has struggled all her life between virtual hope and painful hopelessness, and love has never brought her any real joy, so why is she so persistent? And if a person wants to get inner peace, can he only be merciful, and only in this way can he protect himself?
"I don't know why you're so pessimistic all of a sudden, but I don't think so." Yuan Chengcheng sorted out his inner thoughts, trying to express those realizations in words.
"It's like my father, the king and He'er. My father lived in killing all his life, whether it was a court struggle or a battle on the battlefield, like a cheetah, he only knew how to eat the weak, but he did not learn how to love others. A person does not know how to love others, and how can he accept the love of others. Everyone only saw that the father loved He'er and was jealous of her good luck, but few people thought about why the father loved the little palace maid. ”
"My father's life was actually very insecure. All everyone saw was his crown prince's aura, but when his aura was removed, he was the only one living in prison. His fear, his hopelessness, all the dark feelings that he would not have thought of as a prince were felt by him alone. ”
He Er loved him, not because he was the crown prince, nor because he was good at fighting, but because she gave him the warmth of a candle in the dark night out of sympathy for the weak. And it was the weak but strong warmth that made my father realize the other side of the world, a kind of warmth between people, and that was what he had never felt. ”
"The warmth that He'er gave to his father has nothing to do with whether there is love between them, even an ordinary person He'er would do that. And it was the kindness in her that opened the door in her father's heart, made him understand love, and learned to love others. And after he opened the door, he fell in love with He'er, and He'er fell in love with him. ”
"The love between Father and He'er is not as simple as I love you and you love me, but they have found in each other that they don't have that kind of thing. Or rather, it is something that invisibly pulls them, and when they are close to each other, they can fill the gap in each other's hearts. ”
Yuan Chengcheng said slowly according to the thoughts in her heart, and after she finished speaking, she found that there was no movement behind her at all, and Shangguan Jingxuan and Hongchan were listening to her quietly.
"I'm just talking about it, don't take it seriously!" The two people she usually relied on the most suddenly attached so much importance to what she said casually, Yuan Qingcheng's face couldn't help but turn a little red, these were all her thoughts, but don't really let them study it seriously!
