"Him?" The fourteenth princess lowered her eyes, "He is naturally willing to spend his life with me." ”

"Princess, you see, 'willing' and 'can' are two different things." Qing Ruxu was very serious, and her tone was calm, "The princess must clearly ask Ming Ruan's intentions, whether he is willing to share the consequences with you, no matter what the consequences are." ”

"I'm afraid...... I'm afraid that he will lose his life, and I even thought about losing my identity as a princess and going away with him, but this is unfilial......"

"Regardless of whether things are feasible or not, since the princess has a plan, she should bring this matter to the table and explain it clearly, ask Ruan Xianfeng's opinion, and know what he thinks, so that the princess can make a decision. If Ruan Xianfeng is willing to give everything for the princess, including her life, and be with the princess without hesitation, then whatever the princess does is worth it. ”

"Of course he will!" The fourteenth princess is categorical.

Qing Ruxu looked at her and said slowly: "Then why did he leave before?" If a person really loves you, he must always try to work hard, instead of giving up without doing anything. ”

Yan Ling was obviously also dissatisfied with Ruan's previous actions, and persuaded: "Yes, princess, you should carefully ask Ruan about your wishes, instead of thinking about it yourself!" Ruan Xianfeng should also think about the princess! ”

The fourteenth princess was silent for a while, and said, "Yanling, you go...... When I invited him to come, I said that I wanted him to draw a portrait of me and Miss Qing. ”

"Yes, slave and maid will go."

The fourteenth princess bit her lip and looked down, Qingru Xu stepped forward and patted her hand, thinking in her heart that the fourteenth princess was like a weak girl only when she faced the love of her children.

Nguyen Mai Chin, dressed in white, looked particularly graceful in the spring sun.

It seemed that seeing the fourteenth princess's face was strange, Ruan Meiqin was slightly stunned after saluting, but there were other people around who couldn't open their mouths to ask, so they hung their heads and were silent.

Qing Ruxu walked up to the fourteenth princess and whispered, "Princess, I will take Yanling to avoid for a while." ”

Immediately, Qing Ruxu took Yanling out of the main hall and pretended to go to change clothes to prepare for painting.

Only the fourteenth princess and Nguyen Mai Chin.

Ruan Meiqin stood in place, looking at the fourteenth princess with a sad look: "Princess......"

"Mei Qin, today I overheard that Jinglu Hou asked someone to come to the palace to talk, and wanted to marry the princess for the prince of Jinglu Hou......"

Ruan Meiqin was stunned, and then the expression on her face became even more sad, "Princess, I'm just a useless painter, I can't do anything but drag you down." ”

"I can give up my identity as a princess and go away with you!"

The painting box in Ruan Meiqin's hand fell to the ground with a "bang", he looked at the fourteenth princess in fright, and then shook his head and said: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, where can the princess go with me?" What's more, I have nothing but painting, not even as a poor scholar, not to mention that I have no power to restrain the chicken, if I encounter danger, I can't even protect myself, how can I protect the princess? ”

The more the fourteenth princess listened, the more desperate she became, and stepped forward to grab Ruan Meiqin's sleeve, "Then let's go and beg the mother concubine, go and ask the father!" ”

Ruan Meiqin looked at the fourteenth princess painfully, and said: "It is conceivable that the emperor will be furious, and then I will only die, and my aunt will be implicated, and the princess will also become the object of ridicule of the world, and maybe she will lose the emperor's favor, princess, I have already thought about it, I thought about it last time, from now on, you and I should not talk about this matter......"

The fourteenth princess's hand slipped from Ruan Meiqin's sleeve, looked at her in a daze, and tears fell silently from her eyes: "You...... I've thought about it for a long time......"

Ruan Meiqin lowered her head deeply, not daring to look into the eyes of the fourteenth princess, "The princess may not know, I have also stubbornly thought that if the emperor refuses to agree to let us be together, I will take the princess out of here and fly away." But one day, I saw a man in his forties and fifties on the street, dressed in a tattered coarse linen coat like a beggar, sitting at the corner of the bazaar and painting portraits of passers-by. His hair was dirty and messy at the back of his head, and the folds of his face were covered with mud, like a drainage channel in a dark alley, dirty and ugly...... There are only a few copper plates under his feet, and he may not even be able to afford the pen and ink to paint people, let alone eat and clothe himself, but there is no way, he can only paint, and he has nothing else to do......"

Ruan Meiqin's eyes were full of sadness, "The princess will not understand the despair in my heart at that time. If I leave the palace, I will just be an ordinary painting seller, and I will have to hide in Tibet with the princess...... On that day, I stood in front of that man for a long, long time, and I looked at him as if I saw myself in my old age...... It's as if I saw the princess living a life of exile with me, from a slender girl to a poor and sick old woman......"

"At that moment, I knew that this was not what I wanted, and that the princess should live well in this splendid and splendid palace, with fine clothes and food, and pampered and pampered. And I, while I am young, can still be appreciated by nobles, save a few more family funds, and will not drag down my children and grandchildren in the future. It's not that I don't love the princess, it's just that this relationship is vulnerable in the face of reality. People's hearts are fickle, I am afraid that the princess will give everything for me, and I will not be worthy of the princess's contribution in the future because of the cruelty of reality...... It's weird, I'm born low......"

The fourteenth princess's expression darkened and she was desperate in his statement, but Ruan Meiqin never looked up at her.

He said: "After that day, I thought about it for a long time, and then I came to resign to the princess, but I didn't expect to be bumped into by the grandmother, although the princess tried to solve it, but I knew that this was just a temporary peace, and one day, my affair with the princess would be exposed, and we would bear the thunderstorm." Ruan Meiqin's voice trembled a little, and he said: "The courage in my heart has been lost little by little, and I always feel that one day and night, I will die in a corner where no one is around." ”

At this point, he no longer had the courage to bear such a fiery and desperate love of the fourteenth princess, and he did not have the courage to bear the monstrous anger of the emperor who was shouting a tsunami.

"It's because I can't live with the princess, I will resign from the position of worship, and from then on I will be an ordinary painter, marry an ordinary woman, and live the life that ordinary people should live, and the princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, this noble identity is a blessing from the previous life, why bother to entangle with me? The emperor and Concubine Chen will find a decent family for you......"

"Say no more!" The fourteenth princess took a few steps back, tears raining down. "You never thought it was possible between us, you never reported hope, did you?!"

"Yes......" Ruan Meiqin hung her head and spit out the word, "I don't dare to think about the princess, I ...... I regret ......."

The fourteenth princess completely understood, "So, do you want to take advantage of the fact that there is still a way to retreat, leave the palace, and leave the capital?" ”

"Yes......" Ruan Meiqin always lowered his eyes, afraid to see the burning gaze of the fourteenth princess, he was a coward and was not worthy of the princess......

The fourteenth princess was silent, and Ruan Meiqin's meaning was very clear: I don't want to die, I just want to live the life of ordinary people honestly, and from now on, you and I will be fine.

After a while, the fourteenth princess laughed miserably: "Okay, you go, let's go...... Don't come back. ”

Ruan Meiqin squatted down sadly and put away her scattered painting boxes, and didn't even dare to look at the fourteenth princess again, only bowed deeply: "Princess...... Take care. ”

Nguyen Mai Chin's gone.

The fourteenth princess stood in place for a long time, unable to speak.

Qingru Xu and Yanling came over, and when they saw her like this, they already understood, and they all sighed when they looked at each other.

Yan Ling wanted to step forward to comfort her, but Qing Ruxu grabbed her and shook her head. It is useless for others to convince others of this kind of thing. Yanling stood still, and neither of them spoke anymore, waiting for the fourteenth princess to calm down herself.

Ruan Meiqin's feelings for the princess may not be deep, but it is not so deep that it makes him desperate, he will be sad, but he will not be sad to death, and when time fades away, he can still live a good life, in general, the princess is not as important as himself.

After a long time, the fourteenth princess finally smiled bitterly and said, "What I thought was just what I thought." ”

Qing Ruxu stepped forward slowly, pulled her to sit down, and said, "Princess, it's not your fault. ”

"Actually, I have long realized that he is not as determined as I am, I just don't dare to think about it deeply." She put a silk handkerchief over her face and wept silently.

Qing Ruxu has also been humble, naïve, and can be regarded as a person who has come over, and understands that it is not love, but just a person's wishful thinking. "Princess, don't drill the horns, since you are not together, there is always something inappropriate and inappropriate, don't let regret come out of your heart. You should know that there is not only him in your life, but there are many other things worth caring about. ”

That's what she thought when she came back from rebirth. If Jiang Rin hadn't fallen in love with her, even if she was lonely for the rest of her life, she wouldn't be entangled with him like in her previous life.

The fourteenth princess's voice was hoarse, and bursts of pain squeezed up from her chest, "Yes, you're right, I have to take care of my mother...... She only has one daughter, and my previous thought was to be unfilial. I can't let my mother raise me for nothing, and my father ......."

Qing Ruxu patted her hand, "One day in the future, there will definitely be someone who treats the princess with such sincerity and sincerity as the princess today." ”

"Yes...... ......" The fourteenth princess said in a trembling voice: "But I may not be able to wait, the family affairs of the prince of Jinglu are close at hand, but there is nothing wrong with it, marry and marry, the dust will settle, and he will no longer do what he ......wants."

Qing Ruxu knew that it was useless to persuade her, so she didn't say anything more, and accompanied her for a long time before letting Yanling help the fourteenth princess to rest, and she went out of the palace.

Shizhou felt sorry for the fourteenth princess: "That Ruan Meiqin is really not a thing, if you don't feel that you don't have that responsibility, why should you give the princess hope in the first place!"
