Standing on the ancient city wall, you can see everything in the border city clearly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

A border town is nothing more than a small town on the border, mostly with ancient buildings dating back hundreds of years. After countless rain, snow and wind brushes, it is still indestructible and stands on this land.

At the foot of the ancient city, it seems to be more prosperous than the inner city.

Seeing the surprise in her eyes, Shui Mo Xuan smiled and said, "The current water country was actually built from the place where we stood under our feet. ”

Mu Zhiyu glanced back at him and motioned for him to continue.

"Hundreds of years ago, the founding emperor of the Water Kingdom was just an idle man living in seclusion on this isolated island. Because he took in some people who fell into the sea and drifted here, he almost attracted the disaster of death. Those people were hunted down by the enemy and ended here, and in order to save their lives, under his command, this defensive fortress was built, which is the ancient city wall where we now stand at our feet. ”

Legend has it that more and more people came to settle here, and all of them respected him, and it slowly evolved into the current water country. With the establishment of the inner city, the capital was gradually moved inland, and it became a border city. ”

Mu Zhiyu smiled: "Although it feels very mysterious, I believe that as long as people have perseverance, they can definitely do it." ”

Shui Mo Xuan nodded: "Yes." Those people alone were able to build such a great project, and it is indeed worthy of the respect of future generations. ”

Turning around as he spoke, he crossed Mu Zhiyu's shoulder, stared at her with soft eyes, and said, "I hope you believe that there will be miracles in this world." Maybe what seems impossible will really become possible with your disdainful insistence. Promise me not to give up on yourself, okay? What I want to see every day is your smile from the bottom of your heart, not your forced smile. ”

Mu Zhiyu looked at him for a long time, slowly removed the hand he put on her shoulder, turned to look into the distance again, and was silent for a long time.

From the moment she decided to leave Murong Ling Che, her heart died. If she could, how could she give up on herself?

Sometimes, she will ask herself over and over again, since she knows that she will not live long, why does she choose to persevere? There seems to be no point for her existence here. With such a vulnerability, how can she be qualified to carry those heavy and difficult destiny?

Shui Mo Xuan said in a deep voice: "I know you won't give up on yourself. I also know you're not happy. You can't let go of the past, you can't let go of him, and you can't let go of those people who have paid so much for you. It is precisely because you can't let go that you will name yourself Forget Worries, forget sorrows, forget all the past, but under your deliberate emphasis, can you really forget it? Forcing yourself to forget only makes your memories of the past more profound and makes you more miserable. ”

Mu Zhiyu was silent for a long time, and finally smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect you to know me so well." ”

"Forget your worries and be my crown princess!"

Shui Mo Xuan's straightforward words surprised Mu Zhiyu, and after a while, he slowly shook his head: "Shui Mo Xuan, you know, we can't do it." ”

"I know. I know you have a heart, and I never expected you to fall in love with me, or even accept me. ”

Shui Mo Xuan smiled bitterly: "You once said that there are too many things in life that you can't help yourself, especially as a royal child. I'm the prince of the water country, and I can't decide a lot of things by myself. But I still want to fight for myself......"

Mu Zhiyu frowned and asked, "Say what you want to say." ”

Shui Mo Xuan's eyebrows twisted slightly, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Actually... Actually, I wanted to ask you for help. ”

"Help?"

Mu Zhiyu was a little puzzled, as the crown prince, what did he need her to help with? Besides, she is no longer the Mu Zhiyu she used to be, I'm afraid there is nothing that can help him.

"You also know that the crown princess will be the future queen and the mother of a country. And the queen of my ink xuan must be a person with good moral character and can be the mother of the world. It's just that if you want to understand a person deeply, I'm afraid it won't happen overnight. ”

"My father forced me to make a crown princess many times, but I refused. Because I really can't find the most suitable person, and I don't want to find a random woman. And this time, in the face of the pressure of my father and the Manchu Dynasty, I really had no choice. So ......"

Mu Zhiyu frowned and said, "So you want me to be your crown princess?" ”

Shui Moxuan nodded, and when he saw her expression change drastically, he shook his head violently: "I want you to be my crown princess, but it's not what you think." I just hope that you can accompany me to play a play, so that my father will no longer force me to take a concubine all day long. Do you know that my father sent a group of women into my prince's mansion, although they are all daughters of important ministers of the court, but there is no guarantee that they are really suitable for me. I want you to help me stall for a moment so that I can have a chance to pick a suitable candidate for the crown princess from among them. ”

Mu Zhiyu frowned for a moment, frowned and asked, "You mean, you want to find a temporary crown princess?" ”

Shui Moxuan smiled and nodded: "My father has set a time limit, let me be sure to set up a crown princess, a side concubine or something, he won't force me first." So, I came up with this solution, you won't die without help, right? ”

"Why me?"

"Because I know you're not going to want this seat at all."

Shui Mo Xuan tried hard to hide the gloom in his eyes, and smiled seemingly casually: "If it were someone else, I'm afraid I wouldn't be willing to give up my seat." ”

Shui Mo Xuan wasn't sure if she would agree. But he knew that he had a better chance of success when he said that.

Mu Zhiyu may have guessed his intentions, but she didn't break it.

"What is the deadline?"

Shui Mo Xuan was slightly stunned, worried that he suddenly felt his heart beating wildly, and hurriedly asked, "You agreed?" ”

Mu Zhiyu didn't want to give him hope, because often after hope, it would be an unacceptable disappointment.

"I just promised to help you. It's just acting, and it doesn't bother me. I don't want anyone to bother me, though. I am only responsible for acting in front of the emperor. ”

Shui Mo Xuan's eyes dimmed, and he smiled in an instant: "No matter what you say, I will agree." ”

"When you have a suitable crown princess, you must tell me, and I will immediately step aside. Hopefully, you'll be able to find her before I die. ”

Hearing this, Shui Mo Xuan's face suddenly became gloomy: "You won't die." I won't allow you to die. Don't talk nonsense anymore in the future. ”

Mu Zhiyu smiled slightly: "Okay." I promise you not to say it in the future. ”

Mu Zhiyu wouldn't know that from the moment she agreed to be his temporary crown princess, she would be an eternal wife in his heart. Even if you know that it is in name only, even if you know that it is just a play...... (To be continued.) )
