Chapter 14: If Life Is Only as First Seen

"Would you like to get married?"

"Ask my father to fulfill it!"

"Okay."

"Thank you for your father!"

In the middle of the moon, the bright moonlight sprinkled from the night sky, reflecting the mist in the air, the moonlight fell on the trees, leaving a mottled black shadow, the scenery outside the window was so beautiful, but her mood was so heavy.

The world laughs at her for being too stupid, and she laughs at the world for not being able to see through it; The world laughed at her for giving up lifelong happiness, but she just wanted to be by his side.

Not just because of how good he was, but when he approached her, it was as if she had the whole world.

At that time, she only knew that just one glance moved her face; She didn't know that another glance was in her heart. A marriage, she understood her heart; The marriage he begged for, but he already had it in his heart.

The moonlight reflected through the window in front of the bed, and the man in the dim light looked particularly quiet. Those clear and bottomless eyes were closed at the moment, and when he smiled, his eyes were full of stars, and he had to sink into his gentle whirlpool. His broad chest rose and fell regularly, and the corners of his mouth were still smiling, as if he had dreamed some kind of sweet dream......

The evening breeze gently blew through the ends of her hair, and she stared at him stupidly, and he was as gentle as when she first met, but she had long forgotten how to smile like a flower.

She restrained her smile, her face was lonely that she couldn't hide, her eyes dimmed uncontrollably, and memories came back to her mind scene by scene...

She is an unfavored princess who has been neglected since she was a child. That year, I wanted to sneak a look at the royal banquet, but I met him with warm eyebrows and eyes.

……

The door of the side hall was quietly pushed open, and a girl dressed as a palace maid was bent on her waist and crept out from under the wall. Under the cover of night, she finally stepped out of the palace gate.

Maybe she was thinking too much in her head at the moment, and she was walking too quickly, she stepped on a small pebble on the side of the road, stumbled, and almost fell to the ground, she breathed tightly, closed her eyes tightly, and her feet were weak to meet the moment to come. But I never thought that as soon as my waist tightened, the whole person crashed into an embrace, and a good smell came from the surface.

She couldn't help blushing when she opened her eyes and saw herself buried in a broad chest, trying to break free from his embrace, but not wanting to lose her footing, and another stumbling, he reached out and held her.

"Poof" His bright laughter came into her ears, and it seemed to echo in the air all the time, she was so ashamed that her face was flushed, and her voice was unconsciously lowered: "Thank you!" ”

"You're welcome."

She looked up at him and saw him through the hazy moonlight. He was dressed in white, standing against the light, leaving a slender shadow behind him. In the backlight, his amber eyes were dyed with a little curiosity at the moment, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised as if there was a smile.

She froze, quickly retracted her hand, squeezed her hand, and the sound of her heartbeat became dense, but her face remained silent and lowered her head. He didn't look at this man anymore, bowed slightly, and waited for him to leave.

Judging by this situation, this person must be the son of a family who came to attend the royal banquet.

She silently waited for him to leave, but he remained silent, standing still, looking at the sky, without the slightest intention of leaving.

"Childe isn't going to the banquet?"

"How did you know I was going to a feast?"

"Today is the annual royal banquet, not to mention that the son is dressed like this."

"You're smart, why don't you come along?"

"Childe, don't make fun of me, the slave maid is the lowest palace maid, how can she deserve it?"

"Don't want to see it?"

"I think I want to, but it's unlikely."

He sighed, raised his eyes and asked, "Then do you know how to go to the Taihe Palace?" ”

The Taihe Hall is a place where banquets are set up, and it is also here to invite hundreds of officials and people from the family to feast.

She shook her head and said timidly: "The slave doesn't know, and her status is low, and she doesn't dare to move around too much. ”

The implication was that she couldn't lead the way for him.

After thinking about it, the man looked at it and said, "Since you don't know the way, and you want to see it, let's go together!" ”

"The son's words are serious, and the slave and maid dare not overstep."

His voice was smiling, but the next moment it was all insightful, "Are you going to sneak up the wall to see?" ”

She froze slightly, her pupils dilated, and she froze in place. She looked up at him and saw that he had been staring at her, but there was a bright light in his eyes that made it impossible to take his eyes off.

She paused and wanted to deny it, but she said everything, "No...... No. ”

He chuckled, "I'll help you?" ”

She froze for a second, then nodded stupidly. She only followed him stupidly, childishly stepping on his shadow, which was stretched long in the faint moonlight, and they walked around the dense trees, quietly everywhere, only the wind blew past her ears, and the sound of the wind stretching her heart pinched and swallowed nervously......

Later, he embraced her in his arms and helped her climb the high wall. She didn't know what was going on behind her, she only remembered his embrace, it was very warm, in front of her was his warm chest, in her ears was the sound of his steady and powerful heartbeat, his steady breathing, and the tip of her nose was his good smell......

In the end, watching him leave step by step, the surrounding scenery became decorations, and she only had him in her eyes. She stared at him for a moment, seeing him pause, but only for a moment. She soon noticed that his back was straighter and his pace quicker in the moonlight, but he walked more vigorously with each step. Gradually, she was the only one left behind.

She didn't know who he was or where to look for him, she just stupidly wanted to wait for the next time to thank him, thank him for helping her see everything.

What she didn't know was the young man, the young man with the brilliant starry sky in his eyes, and only because he saw a similar enough person through himself that he would reach out to help, but that's all.

Two years later, she still hasn't forgotten him. Every time she had a banquet, she always wanted to wait for him in the same place, but she couldn't wait for him, couldn't wait to say thank you to him and hadn't seen him for a long time.

The third year, she finally met him. He couldn't take his eyes off it, but now he has added a bit of stability and warmth. She looked at him again, and his eyes were as bright as a galaxy, just as they had been when they first met.

This time, she walked in front of him step by step, in the posture of a princess, she was no longer a girl who had never seen the world, she had already transformed into a bright woman with a smile like a flower, but she only bent her waist for him.

She cautiously walked up to him, saw him shocked for a moment, and then saluted without changing her face, "Princess Wanfu Jin'an." ”

She could feel the alienation he felt from her, and she didn't feel a sour nose. But after thinking about it, his reaction showed that he still remembered her, and she didn't feel warm in her heart.

"Dare to ask who is the son's surname and where he lives?" She finally asked, but she didn't know that the person who spoke first was destined to lose to the other party.

A trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes, he didn't want her to ask him this, so he said after a while: "I am Bai Mochen, the young master of Yaoling Village. ”

"My name is Lin Xi." After thinking about it, she said, "Thank you for your help back then." ”

"It's not enough to raise your hands."

"Also, long time no see!" Her eyes were dyed with a smile, and she let go of the stone that had hung in her heart for years.

"Long time no see!"

Since then, he has entered her heart, but she does not know it.

Another year, when she heard that the emperor was going to marry the family, she finally remembered that there was such an agreement between the family and the royal family, just to stabilize the status of the royal family. The two people who married were destined to become pawns to stabilize power and become victims of politics.

She couldn't agree with this, but when she learned that it was him, she desperately tried to stop it, but where could she break the rules for thousands of years? She could only go to the emperor, willing to sacrifice her own happiness, to do her duty as a princess, and to marry as the pawn she once hated.

She knew that the emperor in front of her would never let her go with him in her heart, so she could only take the responsibility of a princess on the surface, but secretly she just wanted to be by his side. She understood her heart, and her love for him was deep in her bones, and she couldn't extricate herself. Maybe if the emperor didn't agree, she wouldn't be alive anymore, but he agreed.

She could only suppress the excitement in her heart, and said without changing her face: "Father Xie is complete!" ”

In September of the same year, Lin Xi was canonized as Princess Anle and married Bai Mochen of the Bai family.

In September, in the autumn wind, the wind shook the leaves and leaves aimlessly, swirling in the coolness, covering the sorrow of the sky, and the thoughts gathered into teardrops, which spread with the autumn wind.

The girl in the distance had already burst into tears, crying and spending her makeup, and she couldn't get rid of the grief in her heart, that man didn't love her after all, and she never had a chance again. Physically and mentally exhausted, she fell into the wind and cold, and finally couldn't afford to get sick......

The marriage that is forced is not destined to be happy......

She eventually learns that he has always been someone else in his heart. On the day of the wedding, she was full of joy, but he gave her a heavy blow.

He said, Lin Xi, I'm sorry, there is no love between us, I am ready to be lonely for the rest of my life, but I don't want to be tied to you because of marriage. You are a good girl, but my heart has long been occupied, and I can give you anything else but this heart.

She was stunned, forgetting how to breathe, forgetting how to smile like a flower again.

That night, when he was drunk, he turned his usual composure and hugged her tightly, making her think that he accepted her several times, until he called out the name that made her jealous.

"Bang Bang, don't go!" His appearance at the moment was distressing, but her heart hurt even more. She could only be forced to accept him and become husband and wife with him, even if he was calling someone else.

Later, she knew that the woman was dead, that she would have a chance, that she would go into his heart.

……

The blurry moonlight retracted all thoughts and spread all thoughts into the distance with the wind.

You won, it's been five years, and I haven't walked into his heart after all......

She used to fantasize that if he met her first, would the beauty in his heart be her, but they couldn't escape their fate after all.

Presumably she would never know that he helped only because he resembled the woman in her heart at that time.

Looking at the person in front of the bed, she looked at him obsessively, and she would not be half diminished by the passage of time, but felt that her love was even more.

She walked over and gently smoothed his frowning brows, watching his every move, her love for this man had gone deep into the bone marrow.

The man felt the warmth and hugged her tightly, muttering something in his mouth......

Her eyes were already slightly red, and she restrained herself and slowly calmed her mood, trying to hide the sadness in her heart with the smile on her face.

I hope that you are still by my side in the middle of the night.

That's enough!
