79. Chapter 79. I would like to make a request
In the early morning of the next day, all the show girls were sent out of the palace, and they went back to their respective homes to find their mothers. And Xuanqing was also sent to the so-called adoptive parents' house that Ouyang Luochen had arranged before.
Xuanqing had seen them once before.
When Ouyang Luochen decided to send Xuanqing into the palace, he made preparations for this adoptive parent, the purpose was to prevent others from finding out that she and Ye Hui'er looked exactly the same in the future and made a fuss about them.
Because they have seen it before, this goodbye, Xuanqing is not so strange to them.
In front of so many palace people, Xuanqing covered it up very well, looked at the second elder with a very kind smile, held the hands of the two, and cared about the life of the two old men softly, saying some interesting things in the palace, without any unnatural expression.
And although the two old men smiled a little embarrassed, they also tried their best to perform better, and did not let others see the clues.
In the eyes of all outsiders, this is obviously a happy family of three.
After doing enough play, the two old men gave some silver rewards to the palace people who sent Xuanqing back to "home" and sent them back to the palace.
The palace people are gone, and the three people who have been acting have relaxed.
This family has already prepared a room for Xuanqing, and in the days before she got married, she had to live in this ordinary family's house.
As soon as Xuanqing pushed open the door of the room where he was going to stay, he saw a purple-clothed man in the wind with a jade tree standing with his back to her.
Xuanqing naturally recognized this familiar figure to her, looked at his back with a little stunned, watched him slowly turn around with a smiling face, and heard him call her softly and gently, "Qing'er", which made Xuanqing suddenly feel like a different world, and felt that the qiē in front of him seemed a little unreal.
Yesterday at the concubine selection ceremony, they had just met, although they were far apart, they could also see each other clearly. Especially the scene when he resisted and refused to marry Ye Huier in order to marry Ye Huier, which always lingered in Xuanqing's mind.
But Xuanqing quickly came to his senses, and Ouyang Luochen's most familiar smile appeared on his face, bowed gently and politely, and called respectfully: "Xuanqing has seen King Jing." ”
Ouyang Luochen was stunned at this time, and he couldn't react for a while. Since his Qing'er came to his side, except for when the two were not familiar with each other at the beginning, his Qing'er has never been so alienated from him, always calling him by name, and will not salute him so respectfully......
Seeing that Ouyang Luochen was silent, Xuanqing still had that sweet and elegant smile, and asked softly, "The prince is here, do you have anything to tell Xuanqing?" ”
Ouyang Luochen suddenly felt that something seemed to be starting to change between them.
He looked at Xuanqing with a respectful face with complicated eyes, and couldn't help but sigh softly, before he said, "It's nothing, I just want to take a good look at you before you get married." It's been my negligence with you these days. ”
Negligence? Hearing this, Xuanqing couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in his heart, wasn't the negligence deliberately made by him? Didn't he neglect her just to make her sister feel at ease and not suspect their relationship?
Her sister was so important to him, how could she not be interested?
Ouyang Luochen's words were like needles, piercing straight into Xuanqing's heart.
Xuanqing could barely maintain a smile, and said in a tone that pretended to be indifferent: "No, the prince has always been very good to Xuanqing." Now that you have a beloved, you should avoid suspicion, Xuanqing understands. Although the prince can rest assured, my life was saved by the prince, and my qiē was taught by the prince, what you ask Xuanqing to do, Xuanqing will do it, and you will not be disappointed. ”
Her mouthful of the prince made Ouyang Luochen a little dazed, and suddenly felt that the woman in front of him no longer seemed to be the Qing'er he was familiar with, his Qing'er......
Ouyang Luochen only felt a little stuffy and uncomfortable in his chest, which made him very uncomfortable. He also didn't like Xuanqing to be so respectful and polite to him now, sighed, and said helplessly: "Qing'er, do you have to be so alienated from me?" We can still do the same as before. ”
Xuanqing smiled, smiled sincerely, but the smile had a bit of a bleak taste. Frowning slightly, she looked at him seriously, and said word by word: "Does the prince really think so?" Can we really still be the same as before? …… No, I can't go back, Xuanqing is going to marry a wife, and in the future, I will naturally take my husband as the sky, and that person is still your brother, your own brother. Besides, the person you want to marry is also my own sister, and our relationship is not the same as before, but we have become relatives, I am your sister-in-law, and you are my brother-in-law. No matter what the relationship is, it is also appropriate to keep some distance as it should be. ”
Her words were leaky and reasonable, so that Ouyang Luochen couldn't find any fault, and he didn't know what to say for a while, and looked at Xuanqing's smiling face, which looked a little cold.
He could always accurately capture the sadness that flashed in her eyes......
Perhaps, he should have thought that since he asked Xuanqing to marry Ouyang Luoxun, there would be no going back to the old days between them...... Xuanqing's surname, he knows too well, he understands her persistence, and understands her qiē......
But she is no longer the closest person to her, and she is no longer the girl who will be spoiled in his arms...... It was he who pushed her out of his side and made her what she is now.
This road, I am afraid that he has no turning back......
Between them, there is no longer such intimacy as before.
Thinking of this, Ouyang Luochen suddenly felt a sense of heartache, as if something extremely precious had passed away bit by bit on the tip of his heart...... And no matter how hard he tried to grab them now, he could only watch them slip away from his hands, and he could only watch them move away from him little by little......
This uncomfortable feeling was like someone pinching his heart with his hand, making it difficult for him to breathe.
In a trance, he suddenly leaned over and hugged Xuanqing's body, tightly imprisoned her in his arms, and a soft but somewhat low voice sounded in Xuanqing's ears, he said, "Qing'er, even if I owe you this time...... After the deed is completed, I will make you a request, and I will agree to whatever you say. ”
He was already sorry for the little girl in his arms. Now that everything is irretrievable, he can only make her one request, which can be regarded as his compensation for her.
Xuanqing didn't hug him back, but he didn't struggle, just put his hands on his sides, gently clenched into fists, and quietly let him hold him.
Xuanqing's eyes looked at the front blankly, there was no focus, and the ethereal approximate murmuring sound sounded in his ears, but it made Ouyang Luochen hear it clearly.
She said: "I have only one wish, that is, I hope that at that time, the prince can spare my husband's surname and let me accompany him for the rest of his life." Xuanqing's wish, that's all. ”
Ouyang Luochen's body was stunned when he heard this, and he was a little stiff, he had never thought about it...... Xuanqing would make such a request to him! For a while, I only felt a dull pain in my heart.
He had always known Hyunqing's heart for him, and he had thought about making her a promise that she might ask for something in the future. He had thought of many possibilities, but he had never thought that her wish was this...... He actually accompanied his brother for the rest of his life...... Let him leave Ouyang Luoxun, the surname of the man who is about to become her husband......
In the end, Ouyang Luochen didn't say anything, neither said yes, nor said no, only said that she would live in this house with peace of mind, and if she needed anything, she would tell the two old couples, and left alone.
He didn't look at Xuanqing in his arms again, slowly lowered his hands holding her, let go of her in his arms, and left without looking back.
The moment he passed by, he didn't see the bitter smile that rose from the corner of his lips.
Hearing the footsteps of Ouyang Luochen walking away, Xuanqing stood quietly in place, without looking back at his departing figure. The bitter smile still appeared on her lips, and she had no need to hide it when no one was around.
She smiled bitterly, and gradually laughed out loud like a fool, a mist appeared in her eyes, and she couldn't see the blurry scene in front of her. The sad look on his face looked like that of an abandoned child...... It seems that she is the only one left in her world......
But her tears quickly dried up and didn't come out of her eyes.
Xuanqing hasn't cried for a long time, it's not that he's stubborn and doesn't cry, but he can't cry......
Just like now, my heart is obviously very uncomfortable, but I can't shed a single tear.
She had actually thought of such a result a long time ago, even if Ouyang Luochen felt guilty about her in her heart, she would not lightly agree to let Ouyang Luoxun live.
For some reason, from the first time she saw Ouyang Luoxun at the concubine selection ceremony, she had a kind of soul shock, which was a very wonderful feeling. She didn't want to hurt Ouyang Luoxun's surname, but now she deeply hopes that he can live forever and live well.
Ouyang Luoxun's white-clothed, unparalleled figure lingered in Xuanqing's mind, and his picturesque, warm and jade-like face would appear in front of her unconsciously.
She would even subconsciously overlap the figure with the vague figure in her dream......
At this moment, she would shake her head in panic, trying to shake the figure that she had only seen once out of her mind.
Xuanqing didn't believe that Ouyang Luoxun would be the person in her dream. It's just because she has always believed that Luo Chen is the man in her dreams, and she has never doubted it.
However, she never thought that if she recognized the wrong person from the beginning...... So what about the next qiē? Perhaps, it's not that I haven't thought about it, but I will choose to escape when it comes to my mind......
Because of the feeling over the years, it has become a habit.
