Chapter 382: Could it be that the love is deep and shallow?
If it weren't for the coincidence that Ning Zhixuan on Yunwu Mountain carefully arranged for Yuan Qingxuan and Ning Wanran, if there was no Mingsa's arrow, if it weren't for Shangguan Fengming's demeanor that entered Ning Wanran's eyes first, I don't think there would be such a staggered fate.
That day in the hunting ground of Yunwu Mountain, Ning Wanran's youngest daughter's posture not only fell into the eyes of Ning Zhiyun and Shangguan Hanyue, but Yuan Qingxuan, who was standing not far away, could also see clearly, and saw the reflection of Shangguan Fengming's young man in Ning Wanran's eyes, and with such an obsessive look, Yuan Qingxuan, who was hiding in the dark, also pursued Ning Wanran in the crowd with that kind of gaze, so that Yuan Qingxuan at that time could see Ning Wanran's thoughts at a glance to treat Shangguan Fengming.
Obviously, it was Yuan Qingxuan who met Ning Wanran first, he waited for her silently for so many years, and only hoped that after Ning Wanran had passed the courtesy, he could ask a matchmaker to come to the door to propose marriage.
But when Ning Wanran was fourteen years old, when she was still a year away from the ceremony of leaving the line, God actually arranged for Ning Wanran to meet Shangguan Fengming, who was also excellent and from a noble background.
Yuan Qingxuan has always been a gentle gentleman, and a gentleman naturally wants to be an adult, so when he noticed that Ning Wanran was interested in Shangguan Fengming, the seventh prince, even if there was a lot of reluctance in his heart, he also knew the truth that the twisted melon was not sweet, so he could only silently bless Ning Wanran and Shangguan Fengming in his heart.
It wasn't until later that he learned from Shangguan Hanyue that Shangguan Fengming also belonged to him, and Ning Zhixuan even asked Shangguan Hanyue to test his mind.
When Yuan Qingxuan learned that Shangguan Fengming's heart belonged, and when he learned that Ning Zhixuan intended to match himself and Ning Wanran, Yuan Qingxuan at that moment had to admit that he had also abandoned all the sage books he had read at that moment, and his heart was uncontrollably happy.
Ning Zhixuan is a person in two lives, has experienced the great sorrow of life and death, has seen the ruthlessness of the world, and is cold to the heart, since he has understood it thoroughly, and also understands that the first important thing to be a man is to protect the people he really cares about, as for the etiquette and ethics to be observed, the so-called adult beauty of the words of the sages, but the shackles set up by people holding the banner of righteousness for the common people, and sometimes even the shackles of cocooning and self-restraint.
Ning Zhixuan really loves Ning Wanran, and naturally hopes that she can have a good home in the future and have a lifelong dependence, but Yuan Qingxuan is just a mortal in the red dust after all, and he has never experienced the great sorrow and sorrow of the world, so naturally he is not as detached and free as Ning Zhixuan.
At that time, Yuan Qingxuan learned that Shangguan Fengming had another person he liked, and learned that Ning Wanran was interested in marrying a white head for himself, and he was also full of joy waiting for Shangguan Yunxin to match a marriage between him and Ning Wanran at the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet, but he didn't expect that God would be so cruel, so he waited for so long, and looked forward to it for so long, but after all, he still missed the opportunity to marry Ning Wanran forever.
Since the order of his parents in ancient times, the words of the matchmaker, Yuan Qingxuan saw that Ning Wanran had been pointed out by Emperor Qi to Shangguan Hanyue as a concubine, so he could only endure the pain of drilling his heart and soothe all his thoughts, and then only carried Ning Yucheng wholeheartedly, and found an outlet for his full love.
Until the incident of the Qingtian Palace, until the weak Ning Wanran in order to keep Su Xin, in order to repay Ning Zhixuan, he also took the punishment of fifty boards for Su Xin with his weak body.
Yuan Qingxuan was shocked and distressed when he learned that Ning Wanran was righteous and awe-inspiring and threw away his life and death in order to save Su Xin, shocked that Ning Wanran, who seemed to be weak on weekdays, was able to give up his life for the people he cared about at a critical moment, and his distress was that Ning Wanran, who was delicate and timid on weekdays, was hanging by a thread because he was hit by fifty boards, and happened to hear the bad news that Zuo Xiang's mansion was on fire.
At that time, Yuan Qingxuan had already made up his mind in his heart, if Ning Wanran could turn evil into good fortune this time, he would never look forward and backward again, if God had mercy, this time Ning Wanran could escape, he would definitely make a promise to her, and he would definitely welcome her into the door of the Yuan Mansion in the future, so that she would not have to be afraid all day long, and would definitely do his best to protect her, so that she would have a branch to rely on from now on.
Yuan Qingxuan, who is serious and upright on weekdays, suddenly made a vow to ask for marriage with affection, even Shangguan Yunxin, who has always been used to messing around, was a little surprised, but he quickly put away the surprise in his eyes, and then approached Ning Wanran, who was already flushed, and said: "It's easy to ask for priceless treasures, it's rare to have a lover, you have to think clearly before answering." ”
Shangguan Yunxin and Ning Wanran have been getting along for several months, and they have almost figured out her temperament, knowing that she is thin-skinned, if she keeps being fun here, it will only be a good thing for Yuan Qingxuan, so he has already stood up and glanced at Di Pa Yun on the side.
On the side, Pa Yun hurriedly waved his hand to the little palace maid behind him, and then the little palace maid also retreated respectfully.
"Fifth Miss doesn't have to rush to respond to Qingxuan's words." Yuan Qingxuan thought that Ning Wanran almost lost his life this time, so he had already made up his mind to marry her into the Yuan Mansion as his wife and protect her for a lifetime, if she didn't agree for a day, he would wait for her for a day, and if she didn't agree for a year, he would wait for her for a year, until she had him in her eyes and agreed to his proposal to marry.
"Yuan Gongzi, just like ...... It's like ......"
At this moment, although Ning Wanran was still shy and timid, she called herself "Wanran" instead of a little girl, which shows that she was unconsciously close to Yuan Qingxuan in her heart.
"Brother Yue, Brother Fengming, let's go out first, Yuan Gongzi has something to say to Wanran......"
Shangguan Yunxin's words behind him were no longer audible, but Ning Wanran didn't want to hear Qingle either, just because the previous voice "Brother Fengming has occupied Ning Wanran's entire heart."
It wasn't until this moment that Ning Wanran understood that she had only subconsciously wanted to let go of Shangguan Fengming, and the so-called letting go was just self-deception, otherwise why would she be at this moment, when she heard someone mention Shangguan Fengming, her heart would beat wildly, and she even accidentally knocked over the jade paste handed by Shangguan Hanyue.
Shangguan Yunxin wanted to enter the house to find out when he heard the metal box fall to the ground, but was stopped by Shangguan Hanyue and said, "Don't you want to know if your sister Ning is doing now?" That's where I brought her news today. ”
Shangguan Yunxin heard Shangguan Hanyue mention Ning Zhixuan, and saw that there was no movement in the inner room, so he followed Shangguan Hanyue to the outer room, and then ordered Pa Yun to say to his side: "Order trustworthy people to stay outside, don't let some rats listen to the corner." ”
Although Shangguan Yunxin ruthlessly punished the palace maids who made mistakes to serve their sentences in the violent room last time, he was still worried that there would be fish that slipped through the net, after all, there have been frequent turmoil recently, and this time he experienced Ning Zhixuan's imprisonment, Ning Wanran was scolded with a cane for fifty boards, that is, even Shangguan Yunxin himself was stabbed, so naturally he had to be more careful.
"Xin'er looks like she's grown up, and now she knows how to guard against the people around her." Shangguan Hanyue looked at Shangguan Yunxin's gaze, although she was gratified, she also had a little worry, "Now that you have taken in the fifth lady of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, and you have punished a group of palace maids, this time you are so flamboyant, I am afraid that those disguises in the past are in vain." ”
Shangguan Yunxin is Emperor Qi's favorite princess, and she is good friends with Shangguan Hanyue and Shangguan Fengming, the reason why she is not hated as a thorn in her side is that she has always pretended to be unworldly and ignorant of the world, so she relaxed her vigilance against those who were secretly staring at Yunxuan behind her back.
"Lord Wang, it's the slave maid who is not good, the slave maid did not persuade the princess, and the slave maid is guilty." Pa Yun heard that Shangguan Hanyue's words were also a little harsh, and he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said, "The slave and maid are guilty, and the slave and maid are willing to accept any punishment, and I hope that the prince will not drive the slave and maid out of the palace." ”
Pa Yun was personally selected by Shangguan Hanyue to serve Shangguan Yunxin in Chasing Moon Xuan, in order to prevent Pa Yun from having two hearts, Shangguan Hanyue arranged her relatives in Prince Yu's mansion, which was naturally hidden from Shangguan Yunxin.
In Shangguan Yunxin's eyes, Shangguan Hanyue has always been the amorous prince of the imperial capital, and although his temperament is uninhibited, he couldn't be kinder. Only Pa Yun knows that Shangguan Hanyue is a gentle and affectionate prince on weekdays, but if someone threatens the person he cares about, he will not be merciful.
In order for Pa Yun to better protect Shangguan Yunxin in secret, Shangguan Hanyue arranged for her to receive special training before entering the palace, which is why even the other nobles at the chrysanthemum banquet were so frightened that their faces changed, but Pa Yun, who had been following Shangguan Yunxin, was able to change his face.
"Brother Yue, it's none of Pa Yun's business." Shangguan Yunxin has always been a one-man person-to-man person, not to mention that Pa Yun did persuade her, but she refused to listen, and at this moment, she naturally wanted to excuse Pa Yun.
"You get up first." Shangguan Hanyue picked up the tea cup on the table, and the gaze in her eyes was still Ning He Wubo on weekdays, "Xin'er's temperament is also known to the king, how can you persuade it with all your might." ”
"Thank you for your kindness, the slave will definitely persuade Her Royal Highness the princess in the future." Pa Yun saw that Shangguan Hanyue, whose eyes were still as kind as a spring spring, was even more scared in her heart, if she wasn't afraid of showing her deeds in front of Shangguan Yunxin, she would definitely be sitting on the ground at this moment.
Pa Yungui persuaded Shangguan Yunxin because of Shangguan Hanyue's instructions, but at the same time, it was also because of the love of getting along with Shangguan Yunxin for so many years, just as Pa Yun was sincerely grateful to Shangguan Hanyue for saving his life, but he was also really afraid of Shangguan Hanyue, who was wholeheartedly planning for Shangguan Yunxin.
