391 The Prince's Promise
"What did you say?"
Lin Ling'er was a little incredulous, her eyes stared at Mu Tianning,
"Are you really going to marry her?"
"This is the promise of the crown prince of the dynasty."
He looked at her, very seriously.
She looked at him, but the light in her eyes was fading little by little, replaced by a great deal of guilt and uneasiness:
"But...... What about your crown princess? I...... I'm really sorry for you, I'm so sorry for you, I'm sorry for the woman that night, and I'm even more sorry for your crown princess......"
How could she be worthy of them? She has always advocated monogamy, but now for the sake of Chunyu and for her own heart, she wants to destroy Mu Tianning's marriage, in this way, although Chunyu can be happy, can she really live in peace?
"I ...... I really don't know what to do anymore, I don't want to hurt any of you, but things are really contradictory, if you marry her, the three of you may not be happy, but if you don't marry her, she will be lonely for the rest of her life, I can't watch her ......"
"Bell ......"
"I ...... But I don't want you to ......."
"Okay, don't say it again, really don't say it anymore."
Mu Tianning held her shoulder, her current incoherence, her uneasiness and confusion, and the tears she shed silently, he saw them all in his eyes.
Every tear of her cut through his heart like a knife, suffocating him in pain.
"Ling'er, listen to me, it's not your fault, you haven't been sorry for anyone, if you really want to count it, the one who started it is me. If it weren't for me being too anxious, if it weren't for me falling for Shangguan Qingqing's plan, the woman that night would not have been hurt, and you wouldn't have felt guilty, let alone something that embarrassed you like today. ”
He held her shoulder tightly, as if how hard he struck, how much weight and credibility he said,
"What you're doing isn't making it up for yourself, you're making up for my mistakes, you know? I am responsible for this disaster, of course I am responsible, it has nothing to do with you, it really has nothing to do with you, I don't allow you to blame yourself, you don't want to blame yourself, do you hear? ”
Lin Ling'er looked at him in a daze, and only after a while did she hesitate to ask:
"Really, really not my fault?"
Mu Tianning didn't seem to have seen her like this, like a child who had done something wrong, staring at him with big eyes and looking at him in a daze, expecting his answer.
He wanted to take her into his arms and sue her, it was not her fault, from now on, no matter what happened to her, she could come to him, he would sue her, it was not her fault, even if it was her fault, he would bear it for her.
But he couldn't, and he didn't dare.
He was afraid that the unguarded relationship between them would break down, and once she knew that he had not changed his original intention, she would definitely cut off contact with him without hesitation.
He endured, endured again, and gently let go of her, and a light smile crept up the corner of his lips:
"You weren't so stupid before, but now it's because of him, you're as stupid as a pig."
He pretended to look at her stomach lightly, and reached out to touch it.
After this child is born, he should be called uncle and grandfather, right?
Since he is an uncle and grandfather, he will have a reason to love him and come to see him in the future.
Seeing him caressing his belly, the corners of Lin Ling'er's lips finally turned up, revealing a trace of tenderness:
"Actually, I know that you are comforting me, even if I am not directly responsible for this matter, I have indirect responsibility, after all, you were ...... because of me at that time."
"Shh
He put a finger on her lips,
"Don't mention this again, Ling'er, don't you know what kind of responsibility I have as the crown prince? If my father is inherited from me in the future, in addition to taking on the responsibility of the country, I will also be responsible for the Mu royal family, one of which is to spread the branches and leaves for the royal family. So, even if I don't have this woman, there will still be other women who occupy my place, more than one. Although the three thousand beauties in the harem are a bit exaggerated, three or thirty are inevitable. Regarding that woman, I just sent you a favor, don't take it to heart anymore. ”
"Really? Are you really going to marry that many women? ”
Although it is all played like this in court dramas, it is still a little difficult for her to accept such a reality.
He smiled:
"No matter how many women I marry, believe me, I will definitely find that woman and make her happy."
It also makes you happy!
As long as it is what you want, I will do my best to satisfy you, except that I will forget you and not love you.
She looked up at him, and if in the past she had only treated his promises as childlike jokes, this time, she felt his maturity and steadyness, and she knew that he could be trusted, and he was no longer the same person he used to be.
"I believe in you."
She finally smiled, but there was some distress in this smile, she felt distressed for the man in front of her who was carrying the world on his shoulders, and she felt distressed for his body involuntarily.
"But how are you going to find the woman that night? Already have a clue? ”
Lin Ling'er subconsciously looked in the direction of Chongxiao Pavilion.
Mu Tianning didn't follow her gaze, but turned around, turned his back to Chongxiao Pavilion, and said lightly:
"You don't have to worry about it, as long as you take good care of your body during this time and give birth to the child peacefully, I will thank God."
So saying, he walked to a weeping willow by the lake, broke off a few branches, and made a ring three times and two times, and leaned down to break off a few yellow, red, and pink wild flowers, and carefully inserted them into a wreath.
Looking at his handicraft, he smiled happily, walked back and put it on Lin Ling'er's head, took two steps back and looked at her again, his eyes flashed with a strange brilliance.
Lin Ling'er touched the garland, and there was a look of surprise on her face:
"I didn't expect you to do this, I really didn't see it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is quite coincidental!"
While patting her ass, she posed in an arrogant pose, blinking her big eyes vigorously, and deliberately contrived,
"How is it, Your Royal Highness the Prince, am I beautiful?"
Beautiful, of course beautiful!
Mu Tianning said in his heart, but such beauty made him feel distressed.
In the end, instead of answering her, he turned and walked towards the bridge, throwing down a few words as he went:
"I'll come back another day!"
She was stunned and just left? Didn't he want to find the woman that night?
"Weirdos!"
She pouted at his back,
"Hey, why don't you finish eating the rabbit before leaving, I'm going to have someone stew?"
He didn't look back, just kept a faint smile on his lips.
By the time he reached the bridge, she had almost reached the door of the Celestial Pavilion, and he had been standing on the bridge, watching her back disappear into the gate of the Celestial Pavilion from afar.
It's best to listen to her voice occasionally, look at her smiling face, and be able to stay by her side and watch her back so unscrupulously.
-
The summer mood became stronger and stronger, and one morning seven days later, the sound of cicadas was incessant, waking Danzhen up early.
Since she came back from the last hunting, she had only been able to see Mu Tianning occasionally, and every time she deliberately ran to the door to wait for him, so that she could see him.
The conversation is pretty much the same every time:
"You're going to the court?"
"Hmm."
He just hummed lightly and hurried out, but he was still a little better than before, and every time he said "um", he would look at her with the right eyes, and no longer turn a blind eye.
Facing the morning sun, Danzhen was dressed neatly, and she was bored in the yard teasing the rabbit, and in the past few days when the rabbit was brought back, she had grown up a little.
"Xue'er, Xue'er, did you say I was waiting for him at the door this morning? I can only look at it and say that sentence at a time, although it is very short, but if you don't go......"
She squatted down, her chin resting on her knees, shrunk into a small ball, and a set of fiery red clothes on her body contrasted sharply with Cher's,
"I always feel that something is missing, what kind of feelings do you think I have for him? In fact, every time I think of the night he slept with me in my arms, my heart pounds, like I have fallen into an evil spirit......"
"Princess, are you talking to Cher again?"
Caixin walked over, holding an umbrella in her hand, and propped it on Danzhen's head to shield her from the scorching sun.
Danzhen named the little white rabbit "Xue'er", since she had Xue'er, she was like a toy, often teasing it and talking to it, Caixin knew that she could see the shadow of the prince from Xue'er's body, just because he gave it.
Danzhen's arrogant temper has changed a lot, and no one here can tolerate her arrogance, so she has become well-behaved.
"Princess, after you went to bed last night, the people we sent out came to report that there is indeed no one named Xiao Jiu in the Wani royal family, and if you must find him, you can only send people to find him door to door."
Caixin said.
"Door-to-door?"
Danzhen stood up,
"Don't forget that I'm the crown princess, as long as I say a word, it shouldn't be difficult to go to the Ministry of Officials to transfer out the household registration register of the people of Kundu, right?"
"It's not difficult, it's not difficult, but it's ......"
Caixin cautiously persuaded,
"Princess, don't forget, what you are looking for is a man, a man you once liked, a man you once threatened not to marry in this life, but now you are the crown princess, if this matter spreads, where do you put the prince's face? Besides, if you want to find Xiao Jiu now, you just want to find out what kind of relationship he has with the prince, why did you marry the prince in a daze because of him, in fact, according to the slave maid, your feelings for Xiao Jiu now are just unwilling, but you don't necessarily like it much. ”
"How do you know I don't like him anymore?"
Danzhen asked unhappily,
"He's the most perfect man I've ever met, I adore him, how could I not like him?"
Rainbow Heart smiled:
"Like you said, you just worship him because he is perfect, and you like him but not love. The slave maid would like to ask, did you feel your heart beating when you ran after him all day long? Or is it heart-pounding? ”
