The Grand Princess

Chapter 8: oath

After realizing this, the two of them were shocked. Pei Wenxuan did not move his face, looked down at the chessboard, twisted a chess piece in his hand, pretending to think. But Li Rong raised his eyes, and while he was drinking tea, he secretly looked at him.

Pei Wenxuan thought about Li Rong’s behavior before and after. Although Li Rong seemed to be arrogant, her practice was very structured. She would not make trouble for no reason, and seemed to make trouble without reason, often just because she found a way to punish the other party. . But he and Li Rong also met for the first time. Why did Li Rong look at him and want to play him like that?

But if all this is set to be that Li Rong is born again just like him, it would be too reasonable.

Li Rong is now reborn, it must be because his people succeeded. With Li Rong’s intelligence, she must have guessed that it was his hand before she died. Faced with an enemy who killed her, she could bear her temper and not kill herself. He is already regarded as a bodhisattva who is out of law, and playing tricks on him is just to calm down his anger. As for whether to marry him or not, this is unknown.

After all, the last life...

Pei Wenxuan's heart sank, Li Rong and Su Rongqing should also be regarded as loving each other.

Pei Wenxuan had many thoughts in his mind, but nothing happened on the surface. He put down the chess pieces and pretended to think.

Li Rong secretly observed Pei Wenxuan's expression, and when she saw his expression as usual, she also muttered in her heart.

She remembered that Pei Wenxuan, who was 20 years old, was still a bit young and young. She knew her situation and her temper was much better. The first time she met her that year, although she was still calm on the face, she looked I was a little flustered.

After all, seeing his future wife, or a princess, must be emotional.

But today's Pei Wenxuan is not only emotional? It's like treating her as an old acquaintance! So I dared to stand up against her like this, and worked under her nose to count the other three people.

This kind of Pei Wenxuan is too weird, but if he is reborn just like himself, then it couldn't be more reasonable.

Suddenly, the two people had doubts in their hearts, and even this doubt was a certainty. It's just that the two are accustomed to being cautious. They have doubts and need to be verified. Moreover, if the other party is also reborn, then whether the other party knows that he is reborn has also become a matter of consideration.

So the two of them did not speak, pretending to be calm and calm.

The two of them held their minds for a moment, and there was a strange silence pervading the two of them. Jingmei and Jinglan stood far away next to them, and Jingmei whispered: "You said the princess doesn't like Master Pei, let me see. Personally get along well."

"Princess's mind..." Jinglan sighed, "It's getting harder and harder to figure out."

After the game was in progress, the two men eased their shock. After the mood calms down, they have to think about what to do next if the other party is born again.

It rained outside the courtyard, and the rain fell into the pond and rippled.

The sound of falling son and the sound of rain were intertwined. Li Rong spoke first and slowly said: "Master Pei wants to marry me. Have you ever thought about what life will be after marrying me?"

"I..." Pei Wenxuan hesitated, and finally said, "I will treat the princess well."

He would be nice to her, because he did just that in his previous life.

He will try to understand this person, try to get close to her, and make her happy.

Li Rong liked him to wear white clothes, so after getting married, he wore white clothes for many years in addition to official robes. Until one day he heard that Li Rong once said that Rong Qing is dressed in white and there is no fairy in the world.

He learned all the dishes Li Rong liked to eat, and let her taste them again and again, and finally became her royal cook. No one knew her taste better than him. Until one day, Su Rongqing began to learn how to cook.

Li Rong's legs were cold and hurt when it was cold. He learned massage and acupuncture. Every time it rained and it was cold, he pressed Li Rong's leg until she was comfortable and went to sleep. Until one day, they quarreled too much, Li Rong said to him, I don't want you, I also have others.

Thinking of these things, Pei Wenxuan felt a little uncomfortable, but when Li Rong asked, he could only say that he would still do these things a second time.

It was just a moment when he answered, he hesitated a little.

You already know the ending, do you want to try again?

Between them, it's not a good ending, they will live together for half their lives. For most of this life, it seems to be famine.

Li Rong heard the hesitation in his words and knew that he was actually hesitant. She looked down at the chessboard and slowly said: "I believe that the son will be good to me, but will the son like me?"

Hearing this, Pei Wenxuan lowered his eyes.

Li Rong looked up at him, staring at him earnestly and said, "The son will consider me a wife or an ally?"

Pei Wenxuan did not say, the rain was pattering outside, Li Rong looked at the chessboard crisscrossing, seeming to suddenly lose interest, she threw the chess piece into the chess box, leaned on the back of the chair behind her, and turned her head to look at the courtyard. The lotus leaf, swaying by the rain, slowly said: "I thought, if I were with the son, in this lifetime, I probably won't have a husband, only an ally."

"In the inner court, husbands and relatives are actually not important. What is important is the power in your hands. But when a person reaches the top and walks alone in this world, he will envy the prosperity of the world. ."

With that, Li Rong turned her head to look at him, and chuckled lightly: "What is the difference between a widow and a lonely ghost?"

Pei Wenxuan did not speak, but Li Rong understood all these words. He quietly watched Li Rong, the eighteen-year-old girl, when she was the brightest, but in the posture of lying lazily, between her gestures, there was a desolation and loneliness beyond her age. Like a fascinating ghost wandering in the world, beautiful and lonely, just looking at it makes people feel that their heart is pulled.

Seeing that Pei Wenxuan was speechless, Li Rong laughed lightly. She thought that if Pei Wenxuan was born again, she would know what she was talking about.

Pei Wenxuan did know, but didn't know how to deal with it. Jinglan walked in from a short distance while holding an umbrella, and whispered to Li Rong: "Princess, it's raining heavily. ."

"Yeah." Li Rong nodded, and then said, "Just say that I'm not feeling well, so go and give it away."

Jinglan replied and retreated. As soon as Jinglan left, Li Rong turned to look at Pei Wenxuan who was kneeling on the opposite side, and said gently: "Master Pei feels that I should marry you. Should I live this life? ?"

She asked Pei Wenxuan seriously.

Although Pei Wenxuan had been arguing with her for many years and even killed him in the end, Pei Wenxuan was a little better.

He never lied to her.

Whether it is good or bad, should this life be lived? She felt that the answer Pei Wenxuan gave her must be true.

But after Pei Wenxuan asked this sentence, she just raised her eyes and stared at her quietly.

She couldn't catch her smile.

As in the last few decades, he saw her. Such a smile is completely different from the real 18-year-old Li Rong in his memory.

Eighteen-year-old Li Rong is very good.

Even if he didn’t want to admit it, Pei Wenxuan still remembered that at the beginning of this marriage, he lifted Li Rong’s hijab and saw the girl looked up at him with shame and curiosity, and then he became very angry when drinking a cup of wine. He said: "Wen Xuan, no matter what we are together, since we are a husband and wife, I still want to live with you for the rest of my life." At that time, he also seriously thought about living with Li Rong. They will have children and be with them all their lives.

Until Li Rong knew that he liked Qin Zhenzhen.

In fact, he didn't know himself, whether his true feelings for Qin Zhen was considered a liking or a responsibility. They grew up as children, and he kept pretending to be this person in his heart. He hoped to live with Qin Zhenzhen for the rest of his life, but he couldn't.

Qin Zhenzhen later married Li Rong's younger brother, Prince Li Chuan.

As a prince, Li Chuan is a good prince, but not a good husband. Because of his political marriage, he is still in the prince's seat, so he has a total of five concubines and concubines. Qin Zhenzhen has a fair temperament and does not know the palace. Chinese means, because of the family marriage married into the East Palace, in the East Palace, without his help, would have died in conspiracy calculations.

Li Rong naturally knew that he didn't say anything about it at first, but after a palace banquet, when he secretly rescued Qin Zhenzhen again, he almost revealed his stuff, and Li Rong could only go up and help him round the field.

On the way home that day, they were sitting in the carriage. Li Rong didn't say anything. He was a little flustered at the time and wanted to explain, but he didn't know what to explain. Whatever Li Rong said was justified.

Then Li Rong returned home, and when she entered the bedroom door, she walked to the table, poured tea for herself, and asked him with her back facing him: "Do you like her?"

Pei Wenxuan stood at the door. He actually wanted to say no, but felt that he didn't lie, so he could only tell the truth: "I can't let her go."

"What is your relationship with her?"

Li Rong was holding the teacup, looking very calm, Pei Wenxuan still told the truth, their baby boy, their childhood sweethearts, his family was down, the Qin family retired, and Qin Zhenzhen was forced to marry into the East Palace...

"I just want to help her," he said in a low voice, "no delusion. He is the crown prince's concubine, I can't do anything."

After he finished speaking, Li Rong didn't speak for a long time, and silence became Pei Wenxuan's deepest impression of that night.

He saw Li Rong drinking water, one cup after another. After a long time, Li Rong seemed to slow down. She turned her head and stared at him, and only asked, "Will you betray me?"

"No." He replied immediately, and he stared at her, "You are my wife."

"I am not your wife."

Li Rong looked at him with a serious expression: "I'm just your ally."

These words made Pei Wenxuan stunned. Li Rong turned his head, looked out the window, and said calmly: "This refers to marriage. In fact, you and I have no choice. We are all for power. Actually speaking, there is no male or female. Love, you have someone in your heart, and I have someone in my heart. It’s just that I didn’t make it clear before and some misunderstandings. Now that it’s clear, it’s nothing."

"It's not a big deal," Li Rong laughed, her eyes seemed to cry at any time, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Pei Wenxuan stared at her blankly. He wanted to deny it, but he felt that Li Rong didn’t seem to be wrong. He was not a man-woman for Li Rong, because it is impossible for a person to love two people at the same time. Qin Zhenzhen, how could he tolerate Li Rong?

Seeing him not speaking, Li Rong lowered her head and said gently, "Speak clearly, it's nothing. We will live the same way in the future, but I hope Master Pei understands in his heart."

"I am not your wife, and you are not my husband. I don't care who you live in, and you don't care who I am with. You and I have their own lives and each have their own fun."

"I only need Master Pei to promise me," Li Rong stared at him with sharp eyes, "You and I are allies, so you will never betray."

It also rained that night.

As at this moment, the rain is pouring down.

Li Rong walked up to him, stared at him, and said, "Pei Wenxuan, speak."

He was speechless.

Seeing him hesitate, Li Rong smiled: "Pei Wenxuan, if you don't speak, I will assume you have feelings for me. But if you and I have a relationship, everything you do will be disgusting. We shouldn't be together. I'll go ask the father, anyway," she looked calm, "we have to reconcile."

With thunder rumbling, Pei Wenxuan looked at Li Rong who looked up at him.

At that moment, he finally knew clearly how uncompromising this woman's requirements for feelings were. Even if the jade and stone are burned, she wants to be clean.

So he smiled.

"Why?" He said grimly, "You are right, we are allies. I have other people in my heart, and I shouldn't care about you. Harmony is not a good thing for you and me, so is it?"

"In the name of husband and wife, living our own lives, you and I are allies, and we will never betray."

"If this oath is violated," Pei Wenxuan said hoarsely, and Li Rong laughed, "You must not die."

However, after all, they violated their oath, and in the end they also fulfilled the oath.
