Chapter 67: May Your Highness live a long and worry-free life
The women's delicate embroidered shoes had been wet with muddy water, like a white picture scroll being rendered with splashed ink.
"You ......" his voice was hoarse, and his throat was the color of dried blood.
The little girl crouched down and untied the little burden behind her.
Only then did the boy in the dream notice that the little girl had prepared something.
She took out the water bladder and a wrapped piece of brocade.
It was handed to him like a treasure, and the little girl's eyes were filled with hope.
"Your Highness, would you like to drink some water?" She coaxed.
A big smile was raised, and the water bladder was brought to his mouth.
The boy turned his face away, and she refused to give up.
"Just take a sip, will you, Your Highness?" She pleaded.
Chu Li dodged again and again, but the little girl was very patient and said soft words again and again.
Until I opened my mouth and drank it with a soft grinding and hard bubble.
The little girl was relieved, and knelt on the ground and opened the brocade pa.
It was a brocade with a small pear blossom, not carefully embroidered, and the thread on the edge was still there.
The young man's eyelashes moved slightly, and he snorted but did not speak.
"Look, Your Highness, I also brought pastries, this one is delicious, I made it myself."
"You taste it, it's delicious." She held the pastry and motioned for the boy to taste it.
Seeing that he didn't move, he picked up a small piece of pastry and handed it over.
Xu was afraid that he would refuse, so he reached out and pulled the young man's hand and spread it out, and put the pastry in his palm.
She hung her head and whispered, "Your Highness may have forgotten that in the past, Your Highness would rather be hungry than let me eat." ”
"But now His Highness has a noble status, so His Highness Ah Yun's pastry doesn't even want to eat a bite?"
"You don't have to do that."
He didn't need such thanks, if one day she repaid the life-saving kindness of the year, maybe she would settle it with him and refuse to meet him again.
"No, I want to make Your Highness happy." The little girl raised her head and said resolutely.
"I'm useless, I don't know how to make His Highness feel more comfortable, but no matter what, His Highness can't ignore his own body."
"I'm afraid Your Highness has already sat here for the night." Her tone was sincere, and there was still an emotion in her eyes that Chu Li couldn't understand.
The pastry in his hand was delicate and small, and the boy took a bite, soft and glutinous.
"Is it delicious?" She asked.
"Hmm." Chu Li nodded.
The little girl smiled with satisfaction and sat beside the boy to look at the light shining through the window.
"Your Highness, there are always many regrets in this world."
"I have a lot of them, too."
"But the regret in His Highness's heart is difficult to erase, Ah Yun doesn't want His Highness to indulge in the past like this, and he can't extricate himself from the pain."
"My greatest wish in the past was to eat and drink enough and live happily."
"But now I have a new wish."
"Does Your Highness know what it is?" The little girl turned her head and asked him with a smile.
The boy bowed his head and remained silent, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.
"It was His Highness who kept me alive."
"So my wish is very simple, I only hope that Your Highness can live a long life without worry."
"Longevity?" Chu Li laughed in a low voice.
With endless irony and pain, he shook his head, as if laughed at by the innocence of the person in front of him.
How ridiculous it is that there are still people in this world who are looking forward to his long life.
One by one, his closest relatives longed for him to die and used him to spit on him.
But the woman in front of him has nothing to do with him, but she wishes him a long life.
"The girl is really the same as before, naïve and stupid." He scoffed.
A monster like him is already luxurious enough to live, how dare he expect to live longer in the Hall of Eternal Life.
The boy didn't care about his life, ignoring the world, including him.
"I'm not smart, but Your Highness isn't much better."
"The stupidest person in the world is to torture himself and make the enemy happy, and His Highness is very generous." Jun Chaoyun retorted unconvinced.
"I'm emboldened now."
"Very well, it would be better if it could be used on the people who bully you."
"I will definitely next time." The little girl clenched her fists and puffed out.
"Let's go, we'll be here soon." Chu Li turned and left.
"Wait, Your Highness."
Chu Li stopped, and the little girl walked in front of him.
Point to an ever-bright lamp enshrined in the main hall.
"Your Highness, go and offer one too."
"I never believed in gods and Buddhas." Chu Li said coldly.
"I know that His Highness doesn't believe this, but His Highness lights a lamp."
"At least let the old people know that Her Highness is still alive and well, and she must be very happy."
"If Your Highness doesn't want to, you can also let Ah Yun help you."
"But if Your Highness can light one with your own hands, the Buddha will definitely feel your sincerity."
The Buddha lamp is bright, and the figures of the two people are getting farther and farther away, but the newly lit ever-bright lamp lasts for a long time.
In the seventeenth year of Xuanning, news came out from Yong'an Bofu that the young lady of the Jun family who had been found was about to be married.
There were different opinions in Yanjing, and finally came to a conclusion.
This woman is mediocre and can only be a poor wife.
Sure enough, Yong Anbo took a fancy to the nephew of Tobe Shiro.
It is said that the family background is mediocre, and it is also a side branch in the clan, but his mother is from the Li family.
He is talented and will make great achievements in the future.
Yong'an Bo Junhong is very satisfied with this son-in-law who has never met.
I only know that with the relationship in the household department, I may be able to find a powerful errand for my concubine in the future.
After Chu Li heard Yan Jing's rumors, his brows furrowed.
In the past, the paperwork that could have been solved early on, but for some reason it has not been able to be written.
Inside the Star Picking Building, separated by a wall.
Chu Li sat in the wing room, listening to the movement coming from next door.
The little girl's voice was crisp and very recognizable.
"Childe is polite, this appointment is to tell Childe that I don't agree to this marriage."
"The appointment of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, how can it be child's play, the girl rashly made an appointment, just to talk about it, aren't you afraid that Ling Zun will know?"
"Since I dare to do it, I am not afraid that he will know."
"In any case, I just want to tell Childe one thing, I will never get married."
"Miss Jun can't help but look down on herself too much, and a woman who grew up in the countryside is not so rare."
"Since Miss Jun has no intention, she will inform her uncle that she will not get married."
"That's very good, thank you Childe."
"Hmph, Miss Jun is so self-conscious." The man angrily swept away with his sleeves.
The little girl pushed open the door and was frightened by the sudden appearance of Chu Li.
"Miss Jun is really true temperament."
She couldn't help but be nervous, "Your Highness, how can Your Highness be here?" His fingers were holding on to the corners of his clothes and he didn't dare to let go.
"Coincidence."
"Your Highness heard everything?" The little girl asked tentatively, the panic in her eyes not fading.
"I hear you."
"Then Your Highness shouldn't have heard, okay?"
"Why?"
"I, I don't want to get married yet." She mustered up the courage to look directly into Chu Li's eyes.
