Chapter 483 The fifty-third bowl of soup (5)
Fifty-third bowl of soup (5)
"The conditions here are so harsh and hard that they are not as good as those in the palace. They may be wronged by the princess."
The princess was a little shy: "It's okay." As long as she could see Xie Ze, she would be fine even if she didn't eat.
Lu Ling went to help spontaneously. The princess wanted to interfere, but she did everything she could to help. In the end, she had to sit on the threshold and watch the two big men working there. Xie Ze didn't have much ingredients, and the food she made was very simple. The princess was used to eating delicacies and the first time she ate such rough food, she naturally couldn't adapt. But she still forced herself to swallow it with her teeth and looked up and saw that Lu Ling had already gone to the house to clean up. She must have lived here in the evening. Xie Ze stood not far in front of her.
After eating some, she couldn't eat it. The taste was usually the same thing. More importantly, she looked at Xie Ze's figure and suddenly lost her appetite. She rushed to this small town, and she had suffered a lot of hardships, but if Xie Ze could give her a little tenderness, even a little bit - she wouldn't be so sad.
He has always kept people from thousands of miles away, did not please her, nor flatter her, and did not like her.
The princess didn't understand why, what was wrong with her? Everyone else wanted to be the prince consort, but Xie Ze regarded her as a beast. He wanted to run away when he saw her, let alone get along with her.
Lu Ling cleaned up the house, and the princess went to bed in the evening, and then he went out to arrange supper for other soldiers, and went to bed outside, making it easy to get some work. Fortunately, there were not many people coming, more than twenty people, otherwise it would be difficult to arrange.
At night, the princess slept in the house, but Xie Ze was not there. The princess was lying in this shabby mud house, feeling uncomfortable. How could she compare to her bedroom? It was dark and broken, with mottled walls. It was really scary to sleep alone in the house. She thought for a while and said to Lu Ling, who was guarding herself outside, "Go and call the general to this princess."
Lu Ling hesitated: "Princess, it should be his subordinates who are vigilant."
The princess was angry and said, "If you ask you to go, go, where can you talk so much nonsense?"
Lu Ling had no choice but to walk out through the window. Near the door, Xie Ze sat there leaning against the door panel. The soldiers outside were already asleep, but his black eyes looked particularly sensual in the night. "General, Princess... Please come over."
Xie Ze frowned slightly: "I understand, you sit down and take a rest."
"yes."
Xie Ze walked to the window a few steps and said in a deep voice: "Princess, the last one is coming."
"Do you think I'm very bad? I'm very unhuman, and I'm very unruly and difficult to get along with?"
This question for no reason was that others would have been so frightened, but Xie Ze looked cold: "The princess is a princess, and she has the capital to be willful."
The princess bit her lower lip and lay on the bed to look at the roof. She didn't even have a tent, and from time to time, mud and sand fell down on her body. Xie Ze knew that she was going to sleep in his bed, so she took away all her personal belongings. She also ordered people to whip to the town to buy new sheets and bedding. Anyway, she didn't have any close contact with her. She thought about it and loved him for several years, but until now, let alone holding hands, the princess has never touched Xie Ze's personal belongings.
She sniffed and explained, "...I just wanted to vent your anger today, not deliberately oppressing the people."
Xie Ze squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky. The dark night was dotted with stars. He didn't say anything and gave no response.
The princess felt very wronged. She was a beautiful girl from heaven. For such a Xie Ze, she was so arrogant. But this person was so cold from beginning to end. How much does she like him? "... That osmanthus is greedy and has my oral instructions. In the future, she will live a long good life in the Sima family. At that time, she will definitely mess up the Sima family. But after waiting for a long time, the two people realized that I would not care about this anymore, and Osmanthus would suffer. Although these three people were not very good, they were not bad people. Are you angry that I didn't cut their heads?"
"The last one will not be a person who cares about human life."
The princess was even more sad. She felt that she had given enough and even made a decision for him carefully, but this person was always so cold and far away. "Xie Ze, you are a bastard."
Xie Ze remained silent.
She obviously cried: "Do you think I have to like you? This princess tells you that those who want to be the prince consort can circle the capital ten times!"
Xie Ze opened his thin lips lightly: "Then I wish the princess a chance to find a good man as soon as possible."
"Xie Ze!" The princess was so angry that she sat up from the bed, and she could see the tall figure standing in front of the window. The shadow of this man was shining on the ground by the moonlight. She had imagined more than once what it would be like to be hugged by him, but even the hot heart would have a cool day. "Can you tell me why? Why don't you like me? What's wrong with me? I like you so much, I even asked my father not to give me a marriage, and asked him to respect your opinion. In order to do this, why do you still refuse to like me?"
As she expected, Xie Ze did not respond to her. In fact, if he was not a subject, the princess believed that this person would not even look at her. The superior conditions she was proud of were not even able to show off in front of Xie Ze because he did not like it at all. "My love is limited. This princess is a royal family and will not always be so humble that you will look back at me. So Xie Ze, I only ask you: Can you be moved by me for a moment?"
Xie Ze's answer was simple and firm: "Never."
She cried like a child while holding the quilt.
In fact, Xie Ze didn't understand why he refused to marry a princess, and no one asked him to keep his body in peace. But he really lost the idea of getting married. He couldn't help but keep a distance from every woman who tried to get close to him. Even every late night, he couldn't help but think of another woman.
"I do not understand……"
"The princess doesn't need to understand." Xie Ze whispered. "I have someone in my heart."
The princess cried even harder: "Who is it?" She promised not to beat her to death!
Xie Ze said lightly: "It's gone."
What does "..." mean? She opened her tears and couldn't understand what he said.
Xie Ze repeated it again, not knowing whether he said it to the princess or once again reminded himself: "It's gone. I've lost her."
After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving the princess alone to be in a daze.
When Lu Ling saw Xie Ze coming back, he quickly got up to go to watch, but Xie Ze called out: "Lu Ling."
"General."
"Do you... know what it means to like?"
Lu Ling was stunned by the question. "Why did the general ask this?"
"What does the princess like me?" he murmured to himself, not understanding the problem.
Lu Ling couldn't help laughing: "The general is young and promising, he is upright, and he is the princess's life-saving benefactor. Isn't it normal for the princess to fall in love with the general?"
"Why...I don't feel like her?" Xie Ze frowned. "There was a girl who liked me before. I was different from her and the princess."
"This is not simple, the general naturally likes that girl."
When Xie Ze heard this, he felt like he was struck by lightning. "What did you say?"
Lu Ling lowered her head and was still smiling: "It's like this if you like someone. If you reach the bottom of your heart, you will definitely not be moved if you see someone better and more beautiful than her again."
"As far as you say, have you ever liked others?"
Lu Ling felt a little embarrassed: "Yes, I also have people I like."
"That person..." Xie Ze rarely became curious. Lu Ling had been by his side for several years, but he had never heard him talk about this.
"It's hard to say to my subordinates, but that person, my subordinates are willing to make any sacrifices."
Xie Ze waved his hand, and Lu Ling went to the window to watch the night again, leaving him alone sitting in front of the door and ignoring his mind.
The wind is gentle and the moon is also good. In short, it was a good night, but Xie Ze was greatly impacted. To be honest, he always knew that the princess liked him. While clearly rejecting her, he never thought about anything else. But tonight, he couldn't help but wonder why he refused the princess?
No matter how cowardly Xie San was in his life, he wanted to live a good life and wanted to marry a wife and go home. Don’t men think so? Then why doesn’t he? The princess like him, and even the emperor valued him very much. Logically, he should nod and be a prince consort and enjoy all his wealth and glory. Is he afraid of not living a good life?
But in the end, he just wanted to be alone and not be with anyone.
...He never thought about getting married.
Why?
Looking up, Xie Ze saw Lu Ling standing straight in front of the window, with a tall figure. He still remembered the tone of Lu Ling's tone when he talked about the person he liked. Although it was dark, he could still see the gentle light in Lu Ling's eyes. It was not regret, it was persistence, and it was also hesitant.
That kind of love is already love.
Xie Ze felt his mind was in a mess, and something was about to come out. He wanted to know, but he didn't want it to come out. He had a premonition that if he saw his heart clearly, he would definitely change.
In that case, if you have concern, how can you return to your own world without anything? Even if you don’t remember what happened, Xie Ze’s soul cannot forget the tortures at the bottom of the Forget River for thousands of years. He had suffered all his pain before climbing ashore. Is it because he failed to do anything?
No one can stop him. He wants to go back to that world, find his past, and seek justice.
How could this world treat him well? He worked hard and ended up in a miserable way? Xie Ze covered his chest and felt something gradually becoming lively and moving in that place.
But in the end he covered it.
