These four or five pictures are nothing.

In a study in the mansion next to the Imperial Mausoleum, there were many, many of these portraits.

During the period of guarding the imperial mausoleum, in addition to reading and practicing, his leisure time was painting.

Each one depicts the same woman.

On a cold night in spring, on a lazy afternoon in summer, on a snowy winter morning.

He sat upright in the study, holding a pen, and carefully sketched the girl's smile and smile, coquettish and happy.

Such a focused side face made Li Yuanyuan's heart flush with wisps of pain.

She thought she was just a pawn, staying by King Yu's side just to monitor his every move. But unconsciously, her heart was no longer firm.

Every time I saw him look at the distracted girl in the painting, her mood became a little complicated.

The tragic experience in his childhood made Li Yuanyuan think that he was already as cold as iron and would not like anyone.

However, for most of the half a year in the Imperial Mausoleum, she watched King Yu miss another woman like that every day, and she gradually realized that her heart was falling inch by inch.

She fell in love with King Yu.

But she didn't know whether she loved King Yu or the loneliness and affection she loved him.

At this time, looking at King Yu carefully arranging the portrait, she asked softly, "Is it worth it?" ”

"What did you say?"

"Your Highness has paid too much for her. You lost your position as the prince at your fingertips, and you were exiled to the imperial tomb to endure hardship. came back to save her, and after being injured, she was imprisoned in Dali Temple for more than two months. ”

"It's not your turn to beak these things."

"What His Royal Highness does, the concubine is not qualified to ask. Your Highness will give even your life for the people you love, it is your own business. But...... The concubine thinks you are not worth it. Because Jiang Ning, she doesn't care about you at all. ”

Li Hongyuan was looking at the girl in the painting with his cheeks up, as if he hadn't heard it.

Li Yuanyuan took a step forward: "She came to see you today, and it was because the concubine went to beg her that she came." You've been locked up here for more than two months, and has she ever cared about you? The concubine is not jealous of her, but distressed by the non-person you entrust Your Highness. ”

"So what?"

Li Hongyuan was careless, "This king just likes her and is willing to do this for her."

"Even if she doesn't have you in her heart at all, it's better to treat you than to the guard next to her, are you willing?"

"This kind of thing has long been known to this king."

"What?

"Benwang has always known that she doesn't like Benwang, so that's okay. Anyway, she is now the king's woman, and since the king likes her, he naturally wants to protect her. ”

"But Your Highness, have you forgotten your ideals and future? Is it worth it for a woman like that who doesn't put you in her heart? ”

"The king is willing."

Li Hongyuan casually lifted the food box resting on the ground and opened it.

There are all kinds of snacks, marinated goods, and even a small bottle of wine.

Seeing the wine, Li Hongyuan's gaze was a little far.

Speaking of which, he has been in this Dali Temple Prison for more than two months, and many people have come to see him, and they have also sent a lot of things openly and secretly. But no one ever brought a jug of wine.

Last time, because of drinking and making a mistake, I was still jealous and belittled Jiang Ning.

I haven't had any serious drinks since then.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ning sent a pot of wine.

Does this mean that she has forgiven that one time?

Li Hongyuan took out the wine jug, poured himself a glass of wine, and pinched a piece of jerky and put it in his mouth.

The jerky is fresh and crispy, which is perfect for wine.

The heart of the person who eats it is very ironing.

Li Hongyuan was a little surprised.

She made it herself?
