Yuehua was enveloping the empty banquet, and the wine vessels in front of Lin Ying, the king of Chu, were dazzling.

Shu'er held her sleeping daughter in one hand, put the wine cup in Lin Ying's hand on the table with the other, and said: "I have never seen you drink so much wine, although you drink a good amount of wine, but 'the rivers and lakes are sinister, don't drink too much wine' - this is what you told me." ”

Lin Yingxiao pushed a group of wine vessels into the distance: "It's rare to be happy, it's rare to be greedy." Sister Shu'er, although you and I both live in this Zhaohuang Palace, we have not spoken alone for too long. I didn't expect it to be such a luxury to talk to you like before, and I had to take advantage of the wedding banquet of Little Dongfang. ”

Shu'er looked sideways at the dormitory where the red candle was not extinguished in the distance, and saw a pair of silhouettes in front of the window, as if they were sitting and talking, and couldn't help but think of the wedding night in the Changyuan Hall of Yihui Shu Palace. At that time, how could she have thought that she was lonely today in the joy of the four wedding banquets. At that time, she only knew that marrying Zhuge calmly was the happiest thing in the world, but she didn't expect that her mother's worries were not empty words after all. At that time, she didn't know the ups and downs, and the dust was unpredictable......

Lin Ying saw Shu'er's loneliness, and although she didn't want to mention Xiao En's biological father, she still wanted to appease Shu'er's knot. There are many things, rather than suppressing them in your heart, maybe saying them, so that you can really forget them slowly. "Sister Shu'er...... Your wedding banquet with Brother Ying is much more lively than Little Dongfang's wedding banquet, right? ”

Shu'er nodded and said slowly: "At that time, the righteous father, the king of Shu, and the allies of the four countries were all there. In order to join in the fun, Xiao Dongfang pretended to be my younger brother, but unexpectedly, he was really my own brother. At that time, Liu Ying, the king of Qi, was still calm. The four-nation alliance selected generals, Qingshitai competition, he is the most dazzling person. The most dazzling person gave me the grandest wedding banquet in all of Kyushu......"

Shu'er said a lot, from the first time she met Zhuge calmly, to the last time she and Liu Ying, the king of Qi, met in Yudu.

Lin Ying didn't drink anymore, but listened quietly.

"Xiaoying, I always thought that you would one day go back to the palace of Chu Guosheng to join your father, and I would wander on the rivers and lakes, but I didn't expect that you were the one who has always been with me. In the past, you just listened to my nagging, but today you are already the king of Chu, and you can still listen patiently to me about so many old things......"

Lin Ying interrupted: "It may be an old thing for you, but I have never heard you talk about you and Brother Ying, so for me, it is actually very new." In particular, I have never heard you say that you actually made Brother Ying promise never to hurt Liu Jing, the king of Song. It turns out that you have been depressed for the past few years, because this incident made you feel guilty to Brother Ying, and maybe even an important reason why he jumped off the cliff at the Peerless Peak. ”

Shu'er lowered his head: "At that time, I let Cong tolerate that promise, but it was because I thought his martial arts were much better than Liu Jing, and Liu Jing had been kind to me." I ......"

Lin Ying interrupted again: "You just didn't expect that Brother Ying would always keep his promise to you, and he didn't hurt Liu Jing at the last moment." You never expected that Liu Jing's wife would be so insidious and ruthless, without caring about your relationship with Brother Ying, and without caring about your happiness. ”

Shu'er sighed, but Lin Ying secretly smiled bitterly, I don't know who is more insidious and ruthless between herself and Liu Jing, and who thinks she can give Shu'er happiness, but she never knows how deep her affection for her husband is.

Lin Ying only knew that Shu'er liked Zhuge calmly so much, and even made him promise not to hurt Liu Jing, it is conceivable what weight Liu Jing has in Shu'er's heart - is it the respect of winning the first place in the discussion, is it the deep sorrow of suddenly realizing that you don't know each other, is it the faint ambiguity of the sword on the neck but still caressing the qin, or the stealing private feelings that the world is willing to chew after dinner?

Lin Ying doesn't know which one is more endless, love and hatred.

He only knows that Shu'er has affection for Liu Ying and has no hatred, and he has righteousness and hatred for Lin Ying, but he has both affection and hatred for Liu Jing.

Thinking of this, Lin Ying stood up suddenly, looked down at Shu'er, and asked, "When you were in the Song Kingdom, why didn't you kill Liu Jing?" Why do you still let Xiao En recognize the thief as his father? Why would you rather believe that Liu Jing's prestige can keep Xiaoen safe in the Chu State, than believe that I, the dignified King of Chu, can keep her safe? ”

Shu'er had never seen Lin Ying so angry with herself, and suddenly at a loss, Xiao En in her arms suddenly woke up and cried "wow".

Shu'er was afraid that Xiao En would quarrel with Dongfang and Li Su on the night of the candle in the cave room, so she hurriedly coaxed her to sleep, and got up and walked under the ginkgo tree in the distance.

Seeing this, Lin Ying's heart softened, followed Shu'er, and also stood under the ginkgo tree, stroked Xiao En's forehead, and said softly: "Xiao En, Xiao Ying didn't annoy your mother." ”

After Xiao En fell asleep, Shu'er said lightly: "I also cut the dagger into Liu Jing's chest. He was injured and took me to the hospital, saving Xiao En's life. After that, I couldn't do it. Until then, I can't do it. I always say to myself that if I take revenge, I believe that the person he harmed is really gone.

Maybe I'm just finding a lot of reasons for myself not to do it. Over the years, I've sometimes wondered if it comes down to ...... I can't bear it, and I don't give up.

I don't have many relatives left. He was also counted among the ......"

Lin Ying saw that Shu'er was as honest with herself as ever, and couldn't help but feel ashamed, and gently pulled the broken hair on her sideburns behind her ears.

After staring at it for a long time, he said softly: "Sister Shu'er, with me, you don't have to deal with the speculation and sinister of the world. I will protect you through the treacherous times, and still retain your kindness and generosity. ”

Shu'er looked at Lin Ying's crystal clear eyes, and her tone was pleased, mixed with a hint of wisdom from previous years: "Then thank you very much...... Your Highness. ”

Lin Ying shook her head helplessly: "Call me 'Your Highness' again!" I'm such a good-natured person, but I can often be by you. Alas, it's just weird, it's a thing that is created indiscriminately, and it makes one thing drop another! ”

Shu'er sneered and sneered: "Heavenly works have indeed created things indiscriminately, and they have created so many things that have descended on you. His Royal Highness the King of Chu, it's getting late, which beauty should you move? ”

Before the words were finished, Shu'er had already hugged Xiao En and left Xiyu Palace, leaving only the King of Chu alone, standing quietly under the rustling ginkgo tree, seeing the red candles in the dormitory, and a pair of silhouettes hidden in the night.

Lin Ying walked away, and as soon as he stepped out of Xiyu Palace, a group of palace people and guards with lanterns followed him, following his steps, walking slowly.

Lin Ying pondered, Xiao Dongfang, you always talk to me about military affairs and state affairs, and occasionally talk to me about your sister, but you have never heard you talk about your own private affairs. In the past, you were still young, and I felt that you had not yet opened your mind, until I carefully selected a good match for you and talked about marriage with you, but you didn't ask Li Su's temperament and appearance, only said that her life experience was unmatched, and she was indeed a good match, so she directly responded to the marriage.

However, there are benefits to opening the mind, and there are also benefits to not opening the mind.

Several generations of Chu kings have been trapped by love. If you don't open your mind, you can be free and live better than all of us.
