After Li Anniang and Xiao Yan solved the matter of Si Zhi, the two of them went to see He Xingyao together.

He Xingyao was looking at the stack of folds on the table at that time, and when he saw the trouble, he rubbed his temples, feeling a little irritable.

At that time, Chu Yuan, Chu Yuechen and others happened to come here to say goodbye to her.

In addition to being irritable, she couldn't help but pace back and forth in the main hall, and happened to collide with Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan didn't react at all, he just felt his body take a step back violently, and then he was forced to hit a head.

When he came back to his senses, He Xingyao also happened to come out of his arms and looked at each other.

He glanced at her in some astonishment, and then as if he had suddenly reacted, he hurriedly said with sincere fear: "Wechen meets the emperor and asks the emperor to forgive Wechen for the crime of dishonoring!" ”

He Xingyao kept watching his reaction and didn't say anything.

When she had seen his eyes before, they were as bright as amber, like the stars in the sky, but now they were the same again, and they looked still brighter than before, even more dazzling.

He Xingyao was stunned for a moment, fascinated by his seductive eyes.

I don't know who coughed loudly next to him, and He Xingyao came back to his senses in an instant.

She glanced at Chu Yuan with some embarrassment, and then began to say with a straight face: "Flat!" ”

"Emperor Xie!"

As this voice sounded, Chu Yuechen and Murong Rin also came over one after another.

It was at this time that He Xingyao remembered the promise she had made to them before, and Chu Yuechen, she suddenly remembered the situation when the two of them were getting along before.

So, she couldn't help but walk over with her usual sense of intimacy and said, "Yuechen, why are you all here today?" And this seems to be so grand, we friends get together, we don't have to do this all the time. ”

Chu Yuechen smiled and said, "Although you are right to say this, but after all, your current identity is different, in order not to let others find fault, we should do what we want, this is also to avoid unnecessary trouble." ”

He Xingyao saw that she was so persistent, so he stopped persuading.

Chu Yuan saw that she had never spoken to herself, and she felt a little sad for a while, but on the surface, she was still calm, and those sadness and sadness were not obvious at all.

Chu Yuechen saw that the atmosphere between the two of them seemed to be a little weird, so she coughed lightly and said, "Big brother, why don't you say a few words?" Also, Xingyao, you too, why do I feel so alienated between the two of you now? ”

After she said this, she had an inexplicable feeling in her heart.

Chu Yuan and He Xingyao didn't expect Chu Yuechen to say it openly, although neither of them planned to pay attention to each other, but such a direct and slap in the face would always make people feel a little uncomfortable.

It's just that if you say it, it's like spilled water, and you still can't get it back.

So, Chu Yuan looked at the person in front of him and said: "Xingyao, in fact, as long as you are doing well, this time I came here, my sister and brother-in-law plan to resign to you, you should have said that they will accompany you to the end of the enthronement ceremony, and now that the time is up, they are leaving, so I came to resign with you." ”

He said this dryly without any expression, and the whole person looked extremely embarrassed.

He Xingyao had the heart to answer, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

Fortunately, Murong Rin glanced at them and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, the eldest brother means to help us explain the situation to you, after all, our husband and wife don't have anything special in the capital now, so we want to live a happy life that really belongs to the two of us." ”

When he said this, He Xingyao patted him on the shoulder, and then quietly put his hand on Chu Yuechen's hand.

She smiled and said: "Master Rin, in fact, I have always looked down on you, but seeing that you and Yuechen are living so well now, I am a little envious, since the two of you insist on leaving, then it is inconvenient for me to stay, and I hope that we can all meet again." ”

Murong Rin originally thought that He Xingyao would not have a good face for himself as usual, but now he had a pleasant face, and he was so polite, he was even a little flattered.

After a long while, Murong Rin spoke: "Xingyao, in fact, I never thought that you would say these words to me, this is an affirmation for me, thank you." ”

He Xingyao smiled.

In fact, she had already decided in her heart that these two people were her good friends forever, although Murong Rin had always had low self-esteem, but this did not prevent the interaction and friendship between them, not to mention that Chu Yuechen had been He Xingyao's best friend since a long time ago.

Chu Yuan watched someone relieve himself, at this moment, he was particularly envious of everyone present, after all, except for him, anyone else could talk to He Xingyao, only he was alone, as if he was outside the situation, and there was a long distance between him and them, and that distance was enough for He Xingyao to completely ignore him.

He looked a little sad, but seeing his sister and brother-in-law so happy on their faces, he felt that he had to be happier anyway, or it would worry them.

Chu Yuan thought this in his heart, and the wind blew gently and came in through the window.

They all felt a burst of coolness, and they all felt that the world was so warm and sunny.

Some people say that the true meaning of a person's life is actually the meaning of a person's life.

Although He Xingyao is particularly envious of Chu Yuechen and Murong Rin now, she also knows that she can't force everything, after all, the twisted melon is not sweet, no matter what the point is, she can't force others at will, this is an immoral behavior.

In order to see them off, He Xingyao and Chu Yuechen drank a glass of wine together, and then walked to the city tower, watching Chu Yuechen and Murong Rin leave, until the carriage and horse had gone away, until she couldn't see the figures of the two people, she shed tears, waved her hand in the void, and then returned to the palace.

He Xingyao personally sent her best friend out of the capital, and she felt extremely painful, but at the same time she was a little relieved.

It's just that when Chu Yuan returned to the palace with her, he didn't look very good.

As soon as the two of them returned to the palace, Chu Yuan planned to slip away, he was extremely unconfident in himself now, after all, He Xingyao's identity has long been different, one is a high king, and the other is just a subordinate who is as humble as an ant, this status and distance are like a moat that can never be reached, even if it is a ladder, I am afraid it will not be reached.

He Xingyao's heart doesn't have so much burden, she just feels that the world doesn't seem to be as good as she imagined, and even Chu Yuan, who she has always thought is the best, seems to be because of the friendship she met at the beginning, so she can't see the truth clearly, thinking that he is a perfect person.

But in this world, everyone has shortcomings, where will there be true perfection?

It is said that a perfect life is really happy, but who knows that there is another kind of beauty, called the beauty of defects?

She looked at Chu Yuan's humble appearance all the time, and it still pierced her heartstrings after all.

He Xingyao now looks at this person and the confident appearance at the beginning, there is no resemblance at all, for a while, she doesn't know what to say, and even suddenly remembers what Mrs. Chu said to herself.

She always thought that she would persevere, and she always thought that no matter what it came to, all of this would not change much.

But after all, she was wrong, objects can still be deformed, food can still be corrupted, how can a person not change? Even if there is not much change, there will still be small changes after all, how can there be something that will always remain the same in this world? So, it's the same with a person, it's just that sometimes it's not obvious.

After thinking of this, He Xingyao couldn't help but sigh, and then personally helped him up from the ground, and said: "Chuyuan, in fact, you don't need to be so respectful in front of me, we were good friends at the beginning, and we are and will definitely be good friends in the future, so I don't want you to be too restrained, otherwise, it will make me feel a sad sense of distance, or it will make me misunderstand, misunderstanding that you don't want to be friends with me." ”

She said it a little harshly, but so what?

He Xingyao had already been out of the way, since there were no immutable people and no immutable things in this world, how could she not grasp everything in front of her? If that happens, it's really too late.

When Chu Yuan heard these words, he looked at her with some helpless eyes, but he never said a word, and the whole person stood there a little nervously, but he didn't dare to move, he looked like a statue, and he felt like a dumbfounded.

After a while, He Xingyao seemed to be dissatisfied with her reaction, so he sighed and said, "Chuyuan, now you and I are estranged after all, just like your sister said, we are so strange, why have you changed now?" I haven't even had time to get used to it, I haven't even had time to say a few words to you, but why are you making me so incomprehensible now? ”

There was a crying tone in these words, and even a somewhat helpless tone, which still made his heart ache after all.

Chu Yuan looked at her seriously at this time, and only after a while did he speak: "Xingyao, what you just said, is it serious?" Don't cry, I can't bear to shed your tears, because your tears are very precious, and they will even make me feel that you are very sad before shedding tears, so I will be heartbroken. ”

After a pause, he continued, "Do you know what it was like when I first met you? At that time, I thought, how can there be such a smart and beautiful girl in this world? However, sometimes I feel that the distance between us is really far away, obviously you are in front of my eyes, but I just feel the distance between us, as if the distance between heaven and earth, like two parallel lines, never intersecting. You say, "Why do you make people to be made?" Why are we so far apart? I really want to, I really want to make all this distance never exist, but I think it's a joke at all, they all say that distance produces beauty, but what I feel is only pain, there is no beauty at all, you say, distance produces beauty or pain? ”

For the first time, he said all his thoughts, and he felt so happy all of a sudden, as if he was relieved, but that happiness was accompanied by pain and sadness, as well as helplessness.

Chu Yuan's heart-wrenching eyes still pierced his heartstrings after all.

From the very beginning, he knew that He Xingyao was not an ordinary person at all, but he didn't expect that the distance between the two of them would become more and more distant as everything became clearer.

He Xingyao listened to what he said, she always thought that he didn't have any feelings for herself at all, but she didn't expect that the pain hidden in this person's heart was so profound.

This was the first time He Xingyao heard Chu Yuan say these words, and for a moment, she felt heart-warming and beautiful, but at the same time it was accompanied by bitterness and sadness.

So, she comforted him and said: "Chu Yuan, in fact, no matter whether the distance is beautiful or painful, these are not the most important, because real friends will not abandon each other because of the distance, on the contrary, if two people are not really good friends, then no matter how close they are, it is impossible to fully understand each other after all." ”

Chu Yuan heard this, but still didn't speak.

He looked at the clouds in the sky, and at the birds and eagles flying in the sky, and occasionally a few swallows.

Those birds in the sky are so free, and their lives are so comfortable.

"Chu Yuan, you say, if one day the distance between us no longer becomes far away, and we gradually have a clear mind, will this situation change? I'm really looking forward to that day, I'm looking forward to it, I'm really looking forward to it! ”

Chu Yuan smiled, but there were tears in that smile.

"I'm looking forward to it, it's just Xingyao, did you think there would be that day?"

He Xingyao looked at him with a smile and said: "It will definitely be, I believe that one day, not to mention that you don't forget, I am now the emperor, the world is big, it is not the king's land, the people of the world, it is not the king's minister, so ah, it is not a rare thing to keep you by my side." ”

As soon as these words fell, Chu Yuan directly hooked her nose and said, "You, you, now that you are the emperor, how can you abuse your prestige?" What's more, although I am pleased with you, I don't want you to let down the people of the world for me. ”

He Xingyao looked at the way he spoke and his expression, and finally there was a little resemblance to before, and her heart felt extremely happy for a while, and even with it, the whole person's complexion was a lot ruddy.

It wasn't until a long time later that Chu Yuan reluctantly left the palace and went home to accompany his mother.

The person He Xingyao has always been obsessed with is Mrs. Chu, so she has never known what to do to make Mrs. Chu accept herself.

Fortunately, Chu Yuan has always been obsessed with her, so he often helps her speak in front of her mother, and Mrs. Chu gradually dislikes He Xingyao so much.
