Chapter 62: The Humble Heart

The candles in the room were about to burn out, and the slightly dim light flickered in the room. Ziling, www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, felt that the breathing around her was a little heavy, as if she was hiding something, and Peng Yue's handsome face also became a little unpredictable.

"What the hell is going on? You mean..."Ziling glanced at Peng Yue with some disgust, and a small hand was between her and Peng Yue's chest.

"Hmm... I..."Peng Yue's gaze suddenly became a little hesitant, and he even involuntarily dodged, "I want to say... I will accompany the emperor to the south in a few days, and it may take a long time to come back..."

"Huh? Hmm..."Ziling's delicate eyebrows frowned, reluctantly written on her face, and her body leaned back unconsciously, "You... There you go..."

"The emperor is on a southern tour, and he asked me to go with me by name, I really... There is really no way..."Peng Yue explained softly, in fact, she wanted to say another thing, but because she really couldn't open her mouth, she temporarily changed her words, but she didn't expect this incident to make her so unhappy.

"I understand... Hmm..."Ziling's body curled up slightly, and the hand he was holding just now also loosened, and then he also stroked Peng Yue's chest, as if to give him some comfort, "It's a good thing that the emperor values you, my heart... Also happy..."

"Ling'er..."Peng Yue sniffed and clenched Ziling's hands tightly, "Thank you... I... I'm ashamed of you..."

"You don't have to be like this..."Ziling smiled, revealing her white teeth, but the loneliness in her eyes was clearly seen by Peng Yue, "I really understand, although... Although people are also a little reluctant in their hearts... But... Anyway, go and come back quickly, take care of yourself..."

"Hmm... Don't worry, I'll be back soon..."Peng Yue touched Ziling's ruddy lips, wet, her eyelashes were also a little wet, and her eyes seemed to be watery, so Peng Yue couldn't bear to look at it, in fact, he didn't know how long Zhu Houxi's southern tour would take this time, plus Ziling was pregnant at this time, how could she be willing to travel far, but everything, there will always be helplessness.

The wind was blowing outside, and the shadows of the trees on the window lattice swayed, which made Peng Yue even more upset, and turned over, but felt that Ziling next to him was also a little unquiet.

"Let's go to sleep quickly..."Although it was in the dark, because of the close distance, Peng Yue could still feel Ziling open his eyes, "What, there is something on your mind?" ”

"No... No..."Peng Yue felt Ziling's head curtain swaying in front of him, but he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, "Brother Yun... Do you have something on your mind? ”

"Huh? Forehead... No..."Peng Yue replied hesitantly, feeling a little lacking in confidence, "It's just... I just don't know why today, I can't sleep a little..."

"Really?" Ziling's voice was low, but it made Peng Yue panic, "Is there something wrong with Chaozhong, or... I always felt something was wrong with you..."

"Is there one?" Peng Yue smiled, feeling a little unable to hide his thoughts, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just... Anyway, it's nothing, haha..."Peng Yue felt that his smile was a little unnatural.

"Oh... When you ask this, I think of one thing..."Peng Yue nodded his head with his finger, although he couldn't see it in the dark, he still did a good job, as if he really just remembered. Maybe Ziling can accept it calmly if she says it in this way, but in any case, she can't help but say it, otherwise it will inevitably be another embarrassing scene in the future.

"What's the matter?" Ziling's heart trembled, and she suddenly felt as if something was about to happen. Although Peng Yue's movements were meticulous, he was not known by Ziling in the dark, but his unreal voice was detected. In the face of this kind of thing, any woman can become extremely sensitive and thoughtful.

"Hmm... Today I was in the city, and I stumbled upon the... Qingge...", after Peng Yue said this, he found that his breathing became a little short, and his heart tightened inexplicably.

"Huh? Oh..."Ziling responded softly, but her heart turned upside down, Brother Yun didn't get tired just now, could it be because of this incident? Thinking of this, Ziling suddenly felt a little sour in her heart, and her heart was also a little sour, "She... Sister Qingge... Didn't you go back to your hometown in the northwest to get married? ”

"Hmm... She said... She said that the wedding date was postponed..."Peng Yue tried to calm his tone, but when he spoke, he felt that something was wrong, and his voice was a little hesitant and a little trembling.

When Ziling heard that Qiu Qingge's wedding was postponed and that she was still in the capital, she couldn't help but tighten her little hands, and her lips were bitten by herself, and she felt her chest rise and fall a little, "Sister Qingge... How about now? How is she now? Ziling didn't want to say anything more, but she couldn't help but ask.

"It should be okay, I didn't ask much..."Peng Yue also noticed Ziling's emotional ups and downs, so he paid more attention to the balance between his words, "We talked a few words, and when we met on the street, it was inconvenient to ask..."

"Really?" Although Ziling's heart was still tight just now, but listening to Peng Yue's explanation, the string that was tightened just now was a little loosened, but there was still a feeling of "palpitations", "Then where does she live now, is she still in the house she used to be?" ”

"Hmm... Still living there..."In the dark, Peng Yue's answer was a little vague, and there was a taste of deliberate evasion.

"How do you know?" As soon as the words came out, Ziling felt a little out of place, but she couldn't help but ask, because she wanted to know if Peng Yue had entered Qiu Qingge's mansion.

"Just ask casually, otherwise what can you say..."Peng Yue tried his best to make his answer look calm, "She also asked about the current situation of our family, I said that you are pregnant, she said... I'll come to the house to see you one day..."Peng Yue finally said everything he wanted to say, if it weren't for Qiu Qingge saying that he would come here to visit one day, he really wanted to bury this matter deep in his heart.

"Huh? Well... Then welcome Sister Qingge over..."Ziling spoke, suddenly felt a little dry in her throat, and couldn't help choking. In fact, Qiu Qingge is the biggest blockage in Ziling's heart, and she feels the biggest threat in her life, because the relationship between Qiu Qingge and Peng Yue was noticed by her before she got married, and after she got married... As long as a woman wants to check this kind of thing, she will always find clues, not to mention that Peng Yue is not good at hiding it.

In fact, even if Peng Yue agreed to stay in Hongwei's room tonight, Ziling would not be so disappointed and complaining, because Ziling understood that Peng Yue had no love for Hongwei, no matter what, his heart was still firmly tied to him. But Qiu Qingge is different, after getting married, Ziling slowly learned more and more about things, and the fear in her heart became bigger and bigger, a man who shared the bed with him had other thoughts in his heart, Ziling couldn't have not known. She also gradually understood that before getting married, her idea that Peng Yue only liked herself in her heart and didn't like Qiu Qingge was really close to self-deception, she felt a real threat, and she felt that she was about to lose her man's heart.

The faint sobbing sound gradually sounded, and Ziling tried her best to contain it, but she felt so helpless, and the tears broke off like this. She suddenly understood why her dear brother Yun couldn't sleep tonight, even the incident of accompanying him on the southern tour just now was an excuse he made temporarily, he was afraid that he would be sad, so he covered it up, but this shows that he has a ghost in his heart! He really can't act, can't he lie to himself? Ziling felt that her heart was so painful, and a feeling of extreme grievance suddenly came to her heart.

In the dark, Ziling felt that her somewhat cold little hands were held by a pair of powerful big hands, warm, and there was a kind of heartwarming feeling, but it couldn't hide the cold breath that spread just now. He was approaching, Ziling could feel the burning sensation of his exhalation, he was trying to give himself strength, to comfort himself.

Ziling gently withdrew her little hand, turned her body back, and couldn't help but sniff: "Brother Yun, I remember when we got married, you said that you would always be good to me, but I always wanted to ask you, this kind of promise... Is it because of love? Or is it because..."Choked for a while, Ziling suddenly felt as if she was blocked by something, and she couldn't say a word from her mouth to her heart.

"People will walk together because they like to, but whether they love or not can only be determined after time..."Peng Yue's words were full of affection, "Sister Ling'er, I can tell you clearly now... I love you. "Peng Yue really didn't deceive Ziling, and he didn't deceive himself either.

"Brother Yun..."Ziling's lips trembled a little, she was afraid that she would say the wrong thing, but she still couldn't help but want to ask, "Do you think I... It's selfish.,Always follow your own nature.,Isn't it... Isn't it that if I hadn't cried with you before, then... So the one lying next to you today... Won't it be me? ”

When Peng Yue heard Ziling ask this, he seemed to have been shocked, and he froze for a moment, but fortunately it was in the dark, so he didn't see Ziling's frightened open mouth, "Ling'er... How did you... Suddenly saying that, I never thought you were selfish, and... If it's not you lying next to you, who else could it be? Peng Yue originally wanted to make a joke and ease the atmosphere, but now that this sentence came out of Peng Yue's mouth, it was not funny at all, but there was an embarrassing taste.

"No... I'm just selfish, I'm just love..."Ziling shook her head sadly, the tears that had just fallen from the pillow wet her hair, "I shouldn't be paranoid about it... Thinking you only like me, I shouldn't... When you want to marry me, you cry like that, I shouldn't... Excitedly talking to you about your thoughts, almost forced... Forcing you to marry me, I should... I should think about your feelings, I should think about your true thoughts, I shouldn't..." Ziling pursed her lips and couldn't say any more.

"No, you didn't... Where do you have that..."Peng Yue wrapped his arms around Ziling's chest and pressed his chin tightly against her back, but his heart was unspeakably uncomfortable, because what Ziling said, it seems that he had thought about it in the sleepless night, if Ziling was not like that to himself at the beginning, he would marry now, would it be Ziling?

"You don't have to comfort me, I... I'm so stupid, I should have tested you in advance, so..."Ziling turned around lightly and opened her eyes wide, as if this way the tears would not fall, as if this would make Peng Yue see more clearly, "But I'm afraid, I don't dare, I'm afraid of trying out from you... I try to find out a result that you don't like me, I'm afraid I won't get the answer I want, I'm afraid I'll be more anxious because of this, I'll tremble, I... I can't bear it..."

"Silly girl, what are you talking about, how could I... How could I not like you, I... Didn't you say it just now, I love you very much..."Peng Yue gently stroked Ziling's forehead, but found that it was also wet, and he couldn't tell whether it was sweat or tears.

"No... I understand now, I know very well, that you... You don't have to lie to me..."Although Ziling's voice was very low, even a little hoarse, it was full of firmness, as if no one would be allowed to object, "I know... I know I'm not as good as Sister Qingge, I'm not as beautiful as her, not as smart as her, even... There are even times when I can't help at all, and... And I don't have anything, I... I only have you, and if it weren't for you, then... I felt like I had nothing and everything to lose, so I... I can't afford to lose, so I'm so scared of losing you because I can't afford to lose you... Woo..."

Peng Yue suddenly felt his hands tremble, he couldn't tell what he was feeling at this time, whether he should be happy or not, because he had such a person who loved him deeply, but Peng Yue couldn't be happy no matter what he was now. Should I regret it, regret that I missed someone because of what Ziling said, because of my indecision, but Peng Yue didn't regret it, because after getting married, his strong love for Ziling was no less than that of Qiu Qingge that day, but what Ziling said did make him inexplicably uncomfortable.

Only now did he understand why Ziling kept running to the study after getting married, and insisted on helping himself with this and that, trying to solve problems for herself, and even Peng Yue sometimes found that she secretly practiced piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and learned manners and etiquette with some palace ladies. In fact, it is because of Ziling's inferiority complex from the bottom of her heart, she is inferior to her own identity, and it is impossible for those rumors at the wedding not to reach her ears.

She is also inferior to her own nothing, she is not like Qiu Qingge, she has a powerful family, even if there is no Peng Yue, Qiu Qingge will have her own love, she also has fine clothes and food, and there will be many people who love her, she just lost someone. And Ziling is different, she has nothing so much that she is almost a beggar, she only has one Peng Yue, so she can only do her best to love him, desperately to love him, she loves too hard, love is like a bet, if there is no Peng Yue, Ziling really has nothing.

This is a strange circle in psychology: the more lonely and pitiful a person is, the easier it is to gamble on the only hope. So after learning that Peng Yue was going to marry herself, Ziling would be so crazy, so she would have the initiative that most women in this era did not have, because she really couldn't afford to lose, and she really couldn't live without Peng Yue.

"Ling'er..."Peng Yue felt as if there were tears on his face, "Don't think about other things, okay, you just need to remember one thing, Brother Yun loves you very much now, Brother Yun... I really love you..."

Peng Yue felt Ziling bury her face deep in her chest, she hugged him tightly, refusing to let go for a long time, the hug became tighter and tighter, Peng Yue felt a little out of breath, but he heard the voice clearly: "Brother Yun, I love you too, I only love you..."

Peng Yue felt that he was embracing full of happiness.

The wheezing sound next to her was regular and even, and the night breeze was blowing, and Peng Yue suddenly remembered the picture in the city today: she swept the hair behind her ears, but she was not shy, and she was more mature and beautiful than before. Her calm words seemed to tell the story of strangers, those things that were lingering, those things that were sweet, those things that were unforgettable, and they all became so dull. Her deep eyes did not dodge, although there was a trace of imperceptible panic when she heard the news of Ziling's pregnancy. She smiled and said that many things that she thought she would never forget in this life were forgotten by her in this unforgettable day. Her calm and complicated expression made him unable to distinguish between truth and falsehood...
