After Wen Renling became the new king, the first palace banquet was held according to the rules, and at this time my identity was no longer the Holy Maiden of Fuxi.

One is that I don't want it, and the other is that I don't want to give it.

As for why he removed my title as a saint of Fuxi as soon as he ascended the throne, I can't guess. I can't guess why he didn't punish the queen who killed his mother's mother, but instead made her the queen mother.

Hearing people's thoughts, no one can guess.

This palace banquet was the same as the one set up for me by the king when I first came, with singing and drinking, and even the people attending the palace banquet were almost the same as in the past, but the heartfelt laughter I saw at the beginning was replaced by a false laughter.

Wen Renxu may be thinking about how to escape from the palace.

Wen Renqi may be thinking about how to win over the power.

Wen Ren Yurou may be thinking about whether she should continue to love Wen Renling.

These people blessed me when I first came, and they toasted me one by one, wishing me happiness and good health.

At that time, I felt the warmth of home for the first time in a strange place, and I had tears in my eyes, and I was desperate to help them.

However, now Si Qing and I are sitting in the corner of the palace as ordinary guests, sitting in the same position where Wen Ren sat at the beginning, no one pays attention to me, and no one cares whether I am happy and healthy.

Luckily, I don't care.

I looked at the changing expressions on the faces of the others, too lazy to speculate, too lazy to care.

I'm leaving.

I finally realized that I was not the Holy Maiden of Fuxi, I was not the one who brought blessings to Xiyue Kingdom, and this was not my home.

The wine and bamboo, the staggered chips, and the palace maids around me have a headache.

I poked at the pastry in front of me with my chopsticks, and said, "When can we get out of here?" ”

Si Qing grabbed my wrist and said, "Let's go out." ”

I looked at him with clear eyes: "I'm not talking about this palace banquet, I'm talking about when we can go out of Xiyue Kingdom." ”

Si Qing smiled faintly, for some reason, I always feel that his expression is a bit far-fetched recently.

"I know," he said, standing up and grabbing me, "It's too stuffy here, so it's good for Hitomi to walk with me." ”

Of course I do.

Si Qing and I went out of the palace banquet, and we didn't know where to go or where to relax, after all, no matter where we went, we were always locked up in this palace wall.

That's right, that place.

I thought of something and suddenly pulled Si Qing to walk briskly, I took him to the small hillside where I first met Wen Renxu, only here looking at the mountains in the distance that seemed to be in front of me, I felt as if I was alive again.

Si Qing and I were lying side by side on the grass, and instead of looking up at the sky, I turned my face sideways to look at him who was close at hand.

"Si Qing, Wen Renqi must be difficult for you."

He also turned his head to look into my eyes, his eyebrows shining.

"Why did Qing Tong ask like that?"

I lifted a hand to caress his face, looked into his starry eyes, and sighed softly.

"Si Qing, I know you're not good now." I gently traced his eyebrows, his eyes, and the contours of his face with my fingers, "Although your face is still good and your breath is steady, I can feel the far-fetched nature of your expression, and I know that you are not good now." ”

"Although the price you paid for the Soul Bead from Wen Renling was to help him get the throne, but how to help, how to help, you didn't tell me, I know this must be a very heavy price, you hide it from me for fear that I will worry."

"I used to always think that you have paid so much for me, just to let me live well, and now that we have finally found the Soul Bead, the hardships of this journey have finally come to an end."

"I've never wanted to live so well like I do now, and I've never wanted to be with you like I do now."

I looked at the person I loved, took a deep breath, and said firmly.

"Siqing, I love you."

I love you.

Maybe it was because the sun was gentle that day, your slightly sideways appearance was a little blurred, and your cherry-like lips opened lightly, and you said to me that your name is Si Qing.

Maybe it's the faint floral scent of the corners of your clothes when you lean over and stretch out your hand to me.

Maybe it's the affectionate kiss that you hugged my waist when I was hoarse and exhausted.

Maybe it's the upside-down carnival of that night, the indulgence of that night, and the lingering of that night.

The first encounter in the deep palace, divided and merged, from misunderstanding and resentment to love into the bones, from deviation and estrangement to resistance and lingering, finally, on the land of this Xiyue country, I finally dare to tell you frankly that I love you.

I loved you for a long, long time, and told you that it was today.

"Hitomi."

Si Qing grabbed my hand tracing his outline and kissed my fingertips carefully, he didn't look at me, he didn't even open his eyes, but I knew that if he opened his eyes, he would not be able to control the undercurrent in his eyes.

After a long time, he spoke softly, as if to himself, in a slightly hoarse voice.

"I love you, before you love me."

"For a long, long time."
