Yongning stared at Li Zhi in a daze for a long time, until she found that Li Zhi's gaze had shifted direction, and she followed Li Zhi's gaze, not wanting to see her bare feet. Her face suddenly turned red with shame or anger, and she turned around and spat Li Zhi with shame and annoyance, and then got up in a hurry, and ran back to the house without caring about putting on shoes and socks.

Li Zhi held on to the flower branch and smiled very nostalgically. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had seen such a relaxed Yongning, it seemed that since a long time ago, after those obstacles between him and Yongning, even if he was smiling on his face every time he met again, there were always tears in his heart. Those memories of the past made his hand gradually stronger, and easily broke a branch of flowers. Before he came here this time, he had already made up his mind - no matter what Yongning thought, in short, he would definitely keep her

After Yongning returned to the house, he only felt that his face was hot, looking at the blurred shadow in the bronze mirror, he couldn't help but be a little angry, why did he blush so easily? After calming down his emotions, he suddenly remembered, why did Li Zhi come to Beizhuang at this time? It's so timely...... She couldn't help but snort coldly, she didn't have to guess who was the one who reported to him

After putting on shoes and socks and changing out of the clothes that were accidentally wet, Yongning went to the flower hall where the guests were entertained.

Li Zhi was already sitting in the flower hall drinking tea, and there was a azure thin-necked vase in front of him, and the peach blossom he had just broken off was inserted in the vase. "This flower has some taste" Yongning came up, and praised the flower first, from the direction she came, the pink flower, the azure bottle, lined with a young man in a tender yellow robe, can really enter the painting.

Li Zhi poured a cup of tea with a smile, pushed it to Yongning, and said, "Do you remember this vase?" Originally, it was a pair, but I let the seventeenth sister break one, and only you don't dislike it, there is only one left, and I begged it back, and I broke the flowers and inserted them every time...... Now, do you still think that this flower and this bottle are the most suitable for your flower hall? ”

It was a long time ago, and Yongning's memories were already a little blurry, but when Li Zhi mentioned it, it was easy to recall her memories, and she was really ** this vase in the past...... It's just that time has passed, and this vase has been forgotten by her.

"Ah Fang, I have always remembered, I have never forgotten, what about you? Do you remember? Li Zhi looked at Yongning with a look that could be called sad, and the unrevealed question pierced people's hearts.

Yongning's eyes couldn't help but dodge, she didn't have the courage to face the things she needed to face after marrying Li Zhi, and she also didn't have the courage to tell Li Zhi what she was afraid of...... Sometimes, she doesn't understand why she is so uneasy, Li Zhi is obviously very good, she is obviously very fond of him, but why does she always dare not try it?

"Ah Fang, what are you afraid of?" Li Zhi moved to Yongning's side and sat down, took her hand, wrapped it in his palms, and said in a low voice: "Ah Fang, believe me, is it so difficult?" ”

Li Zhi's low voice with a little melancholy successfully hooked Yongning's tears. "Jiulang......" her plain and gentle face was full of stubbornness, sniffed, and said: "Jiulang, I can trust you, but I can't trust the crown prince of the empire, the future emperor...... Jiulang, ** love may be great, but when it faces the world of the family and country, it will become very small...... I'm afraid, scared that one day, one day ......"

"Ah Fang ......" Li Zhi, how could he not know what Yongning was afraid of? Even sometimes he himself has the same worries, not only that one day he will not look like himself, but also that Yongning will one day become unrecognizable to him...... It's just that compared to these worries, he can't bear to even have the opportunity to worry

"Ah Fang, I don't dare to promise you, I will not change in the future, but I can promise you that I will work hard...... Try to be your Jiulang, you, can you not give up? Li Zhi actually had a premonition that Yongning might lose Yongning as early as when he left Chang'an, and when time passed, this premonition became more and more intense.

When no one is around in the middle of the night, he sometimes thinks that in fact, he is really never a good choice, maybe if it weren't for him, Yongning would have been someone's wife a long time ago, or even a mother...... But where do so many "maybes" come from in life? He exists, so she travels to the end of the world, and this is the reality.

Yongning bit his lower lip tightly, and didn't dare to open his mouth at all, let alone raise his head, for fear that he would involuntarily surrender when he saw Li Zhi's eyes.

Li Zhi's hand slowly strengthened, and there was a bit of confusion and uncertainty in his eyes, "Ah Fang, can you have a little confidence in me, yourself, and us?" As long as we work together, everything will be fine, it will be fine...... Ah Fang, don't go, okay? ”

Yongning's tears rolled down like a bursting embankment, but she still gritted her teeth and didn't dare to speak. She is not alone, she has a Fang family behind her, if it is just a Fang Yongning, she is not afraid to try, but she does not dare to risk the Fang family no matter what.

Although Li Zhi's tone was still soft, his voice gradually became cold, "You really decided?" Do you have to go? ”

Yongning sensitively sensed that Li Zhi's mood was wrong, but when she looked sideways, she only met Li Zhi's dark and melancholy eyes. She instinctively lowered her head and said softly, "I promised my father......" Although she was a little uneasy, she still pushed the matter on Fang Xuanling.

Li Zhi pursed his lips, remembering Fang Xuanling's attitude during this time, he couldn't help frowning. He didn't understand, obviously Fang Xuanling didn't have so much pickiness about him before, but why did he ...... recently? He had been thinking about it for a long time, but he didn't figure it out, and he couldn't figure out what Fang Xuanling was doing and how he changed his attitude.

"Ah Fang ......" Li Zhi thinks that he will never have any chance of winning against a character like Fang Xuanling, so he put the breakthrough on Yongning, according to his thoughts, as long as Yongning can be persuaded to conquer Fang Xuanling, then it will be a matter of time before Fang Xuanling is conquered...... It's just that he didn't expect that although Yongning seemed weak, he was so stubborn.

"Jiulang" Yongning sat up straight, opened a little distance from Li Zhi, and even took the opportunity to withdraw his hand from his palm, with tears on his face, and said with a smile: "There are so many big things waiting for you to do now, why are you pouring energy into me?" If it is known by others, I am afraid that I will not be able to take off a hat with a red face and troubles for the rest of my life...... Besides, the queen of the palace is seriously ill, and you should serve on the side, you, go back quickly......"

Li Zhi looked at Yongning with a calm face, neither speaking nor moving, just looking like that. Yongning was extremely uncomfortable by him, and turned slightly sideways, avoiding his gaze.

"Jiulang, I don't know if you have noticed, but my family is different from other people's families," Yongning pondered for a while, and finally decided to make it clear, "My family, whether it is my father or my brother, has never accepted a concubine, because everyone else has a legend that my mother is a fierce woman, but in fact, I know that in the first place, it was actually my father who cared about my mother, and I didn't want to have more people among the two, so I refused to take a concubine, but the world blamed my mother herself...... As for the elder brothers, they are just my father's words and deeds, and I don't know how much they can understand the true meaning of them......"

"Since I was a child, I have felt that this kind of life of 'one person for a lifetime' is very beautiful...... It's just that how many men in the world can be like their fathers? Yongning glanced sideways at Li Zhi, and then said: "Actually, the moment I fell in love with you at the beginning, I was hesitating, because you couldn't give me the life I wanted...... I keep encouraging myself and reassuring myself that what others can do, I can too, and I can live the life that others can live...... But as the days passed, so did my fears...... What does it take to not be jealous? What does it take to not be resentful? How can we do it without losing our hearts? Jiurou, not only do I have no confidence in you, but I also have no confidence in myself...... I'm afraid that one day, I'll become unrecognizable, and when that happens, what will I do? ”

When Yongning said these words, she had been quietly paying attention to Li Zhi's emotional changes, in fact, she understood that the words she said should also be where Li Zhi had been troubled all along...... She just repackaged these words from her own perspective and in her own words, and then spread them out in front of Li Zhi unabashedly.

Yongning's words were indeed not unexpected to Li Zhi. He originally wanted to force Yongning to tell him what was in his heart, but when Yongning really said these words as he wished, Li Zhi regretted it a little. If she hadn't said it, then he still had reason to pretend not to know, but when she really spread everything out, what spontaneously arose in his heart was the premonition that "he would eventually lose......

"Jiulang, forget about each other in the rivers and lakes, isn't it? Reunited after a few years, what is buried in my heart is still the beautiful past of the old days, although there will be regrets, but there will be no hatred" Yongning said very seriously, these words are the sincere words she has always hidden in her heart, she has indeed always looked forward to this......

Li Zhi's hands were clenched under the sleeves of his robe, Yongning described it very beautifully, if he really went on like that, there would indeed be no hatred, but he didn't want to bear this regret, if he was allowed to choose, he would rather hate after ** to the extreme, rather than hold regrets and feel melancholy in this life
