Chapter 54: Love and Unlove

Yun Moxi looked up at him, there was no surprise or anger, but he asked lightly: "Why did Your Highness marry Moxi?" ”

"I said those things in front of so many people. I surprised you to your face again, and I should be responsible for all the reason. ”

"So His Highness is marrying Moxi for the sake of responsibility?"

"Not exactly. Also because I like you. He hurriedly explained, "It should be that I already liked you when I saw you for the first time in the bamboo forest." And that day in the palace...... I also feel that you don't hate me. Since they have a good impression of each other...... What's more, this is also beneficial to the Yun family and the Great Song Dynasty. It can also dispel other people's covetousness for the Yun family. Isn't it the best of both worlds? ”

Yun Moxi turned to look at the lotus flower in the pond, that white and flawless pure color.

"There are so many reasons to marry someone – it seems like you really should."

"Moxi, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Ting was a little anxious.

Reaching out to put his arm around her shoulder, she turned to look at herself, "Don't you think so?" If you become the princess of Wei, who will bully you? Whether it is Meng Chang or Evil Chen, he will not dare to bully you like this again. ”

"Maybe His Royal Highness will think a lot about marrying Princess Wei, as long as it is beneficial to the family and country, plus he has a good impression, it will be the icing on the cake. But that's not what Moxi wants. ”

"But whatever you want, I can agree, no matter what, you tell me, okay?" Zhao Ting saw that she was always calm and indifferent, and his heart was even more anxious.

Yun Moxi looked at him, his eyes were big and bright in the moonlight, the crystal light, and the long and curly eyelashes cast a shadow under the moon, some unfathomable and deep, and some distant.

"Moxi didn't think about getting married. If you must marry, you can only marry the love of your heart, love each other, and devote yourself wholeheartedly. It's not just about good feelings, it's not for responsibility, it's not about weighing the necessity of power. If you don't have these, you'd rather die alone in this life and die of old age. Her voice was soft but firm.

"I can give you all of this. As long as you get along for a long time, you will naturally fall in love with each other. Give each other time. ”

"What Moxi wants is a couple for a lifetime, and His Highness is afraid that he won't be able to give it!"

"Why can't you give it? I'm not a womanizer, and the royal brother has been urging me for the past few years. So far, he has not married or taken a concubine. As long as you promise to marry me, I can swear: I will only marry Yun Moxi alone in this life, and I will never lose up! Zhao Ting raised his hand as he said and began to swear.

"Your Highness decided to marry me so soon, didn't he have planned to do so a long time ago?" Yun Moxi's clear eyes seemed to know everything.

Zhao Ting hesitated for a moment and said, "Mo Xi, you are such an extremely smart person, if I say no, you will not believe it." I did think about it if the two joined forces, and the natural forces were strong. But I also made this decision because I like you. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't marry a woman I don't like for profit. This is just one small reason. ”

Yun Moxi looked at him, "Your Highness, do you know why the Yun family's shadow guard is called Red Kite?" ”

"I want to hear about it!" Zhao Ting didn't know why she suddenly asked.

"The red kite is one of the species of eagles. Shrewd and fierce, and unusually beautiful, it is rare in the Central Plains. When my grandfather saw it in the Western Regions, he liked it very much and brought back some breeding. ”

After a pause, he continued: "But I like the red kite, but also because this kind of eagle will work hard when it meets the other half worthy of love, and from then on they will be accompanied by each other, free to roam the sky, and there is nothing else in their eyes, loyal to each other, and love each other for life." ”

Looking up into the distance, it seemed that he saw the red kites that he could see when he was a child, and the few red kites that were hovering over Yunfu - such beauty and pride, "Once I saw a pair of red kites, the female kite was injured and died, and the male kite was grief-stricken, and kept flying around its corpse, wailing, for a whole day and night, and finally crashed into the cliff and died. ”

"I didn't expect the red kite to be so loyal and strong." Zhao Ting couldn't help but admire, it was the first time he had heard of it.

"Moxi has had a mission since he was a child. I will do my best to accomplish this mission. It is possible to dedicate a lifetime, even a life, to this. But I didn't want to sacrifice my emotions for the sake of this mission - it was the only thing I wanted to keep for myself. ”

"The mission you are talking about is ......."

"The meaning of the Yun family's existence is to help the future king unify the world and establish a magnificent empire where the people can live and work in peace and contentment."

"But the emperor's brother generation of benevolent lords, who also aspire to unify the world and care for the people, isn't it the king that the Yun family is looking for?"

"Grandfather had already identified the Zhao family, so the Yun family repeatedly helped. I will fulfill my grandfather's wishes. But I wanted to keep my heart. And you, His Royal Highness the King of Wei, will have a heavier responsibility in the future to help the emperor govern the country. You won't just see a small pattern. And I just want to retire after success, travel the rivers and lakes, live incognito, and live an ordinary life. ”

"In the end, people who love each other live happily together, and they don't necessarily have to stay away from the court. As long as you have a heart, everywhere is home. Zhao Ting said sincerely.

"That's right. But the people in the center of power, too many people can't help themselves, too many unavoidable hardships. There are also so many things that have to be done against their will. In the future, I don't want to strategize and calculate, let alone compete with other women for favor. Today, His Royal Highness can marry Mo Xi in order to entrap the Yun family, and he knows that he will marry someone else in order to entrap other forces? So - I won't say yes! ”

"It's too arbitrary for you to think like this now." Zhao Ting said anxiously.

took her hand, "Whether it's love or single-mindedness, as long as you give me time, I will definitely prove it to you." Don't jump to conclusions. All right? ”

"Does Your Highness love Moxi?"

Zhao Ting hesitated for a moment and said: "I really don't know much about the relationship between men and women, if I say love, I will definitely fall in love with you in the future, but at this moment, I really like you and want to marry you." ”

He didn't want to lie, and he asked his heart, but the two didn't get along for a long time, although they were worried about her, for the first time, they were at a loss for a woman.

But when it comes to love, how deep is it? What does love mean?

He couldn't answer for a moment.

It's just that he feels that this word has a heavy weight, and he doesn't want to make it easy.

Because he wasn't sure, he didn't want to give her a false answer.

Yun Mo nodded clearly, grateful for Zhao Ting's sincerity.

She had asked herself this question, and the answer seemed to be similar to his.

Sometimes love is gradually sprouted in getting along, is a momentary mutual affection really love? Will it stand the test?

She didn't understand either, but she knew what she wanted.

Between them, now, each other - not love!

Smiling slightly, "I think true love has no conditions and no benefits." What you promised me today has too many conditions in it. So Your Highness, I will not agree. Because it's not the love I want. ”
