Chapter 453 Gentlemen's Agreement
Chapter 453 Gentlemen's Agreement
Xiao Rongyan drank the sweet-scented osmanthus dew in the cup: "Yan is lucky to taste the sweet-scented osmanthus dew brewed by the Crown Princess herself. It's a great honor."
Bai Qingyan also nodded in the direction of the prince and smiled slightly: "His Royal Highness is careful, I am... grateful."
"That's polite, you and I are cousins! One family!" The prince laughed.
Because there were no singing and dancing to cheer for the fun, and no wine, the vegetarian banquet ended quickly.
"Fearing that my father will send someone to go to the residence of Princess Zhen Guo to proclaim the decree, I won't leave Princess Zhen Guo alone, Rong Yan... you will send Princess Zhen Guo home for Gu." The prince laughed.
The purpose of leaving Bai Qingyan to eat at the Prince's Mansion is to give Bai Qingyan and Xiao Rongyan a chance to get along.
Qin Shangzhi raised his eyes and looked at Bai Qingyan, then at Xiao Rongyan, knowing why the prince was like this.
But Qin Shangzhi felt that it was unavoidably too cold for the prince to use Bai Qingyan, a daughter's family's lifelong event, as a sharp weapon for him to plot Xiao Rongyan's money.
With Bai Qingyan's mind, Qin Shangzhi believed that she had already understood the prince's intentions, and that what the prince did would probably make Bai Qingyan feel cold.
"Farewell!" Bai Qingyan saluted the prince.
Xiao Rongyan came here to ride a horse and never prepared a carriage...
The prince also pretended to be confused and didn't let the prince's mansion prepare a carriage for Bai Qingyan, his intentions were obvious.
Xiao Rongyan said to Bai Qing: "Fortunately, the road from the Prince's Mansion back to the Zhenguo County Lord's Mansion is full of trees, so it's okay to walk around, Yan... also can talk to Miss Bai."
Bai Qingyan tightened her hands hidden in her sleeves and nodded: "Please, Mr. Xiao!"
"Miss Bai first please!"
Holding the sword, Yue Shi led the guards and led the horse to stand not far away, secretly laughing, and praised the crown prince of Jin Kingdom in his heart.
"Yan knows what Mr. Xiao is going to say." Bai Qingyan walked side by side with Xiao Rongyan with his hands behind his back, walking slowly along the boulevard.
"Yan, I also know what Miss Bai is going to say." Xiao Rongyan said methodically, "Yan, to Miss Bai, he is from another country, and his plans and schemes are roughly the same. If we establish a friendship at this time, it is inevitable Will be burdened by sympathy when making a decision."
Xiao Rongyan understood everything in his heart.
She lowered her eyes and said: "If there is no love, each of you should be for your own benefit, as it should be! If there is an emotional bond, you will have high expectations for each other! Princess An Le, who was a compatriot with the emperor of Jin... in order to replace her The crown prince's status as the emperor of the Jin Kingdom was stable, and he married into the Kingdom of Shu as his concubine. The battle to destroy Shu... I personally led the troops to control the harem of the Kingdom of Shu. Princess Anle was confident that she was a compatriot with the emperor's mother, so she did not run away with her son and daughter. She returned to Dadu with the triumphant army. She thought that the emperor would think that their siblings depended on each other since they were young. If she spared her son and daughter, she would be able to return to her hometown, but the emperor chose to kill the grass! Princess Anle hated the emperor because of this. When plotting to assassinate the emperor of Jin, he was shot to death by random arrows."
"Is the emperor wrong about this matter? As the emperor of Jin, he is not wrong! Is it wrong for Princess Anle to assassinate the emperor? She is not wrong either! What is wrong is feelings! The emperor can kill all the children of Princess Anle, but Unable to kill himself, he grew up dependent on each other... In order to stabilize his position as the crown prince, he married into the Kingdom of Shu, and condescended to his elder sister who was the concubine! Princess Anle was confident that her siblings loved each other deeply, and returned to the Kingdom of Jin with the army, but ended up with her children decapitated. It is also reasonable for her to choose to assassinate the emperor."
Bai Qingyan paused, turned around, and looked at Xiao Rongyan solemnly with clear black and white pupils: "In this world, everything has a reason, but feelings can't be measured by reason. People's hearts are like this. Who can be an exception? ah?"
Feelings... are indeed the most unreasonable things in this world.
The wind passed, the branches and leaves whirled and rustled.
The coolness swept over the hem of Bai Qingyan's long sleeves, and she bowed slightly to salute Xiao Rongyan: "Mr. Xiao stay put, the way forward...Walk alone."
Bai Qingyan got up and wanted to leave, but Xiao Rongyan grabbed his wrist.
Following Xiao Rongyan and Bai Qingyan, Yue Shi and the guards, who were leading the horses, hurriedly turned around and did not dare to look.
"Mr. Xiao!" Bai Qingyan looked around. The people living in the neighborhood are noble families. Ordinary people don't come here if they have nothing to do. people.
Xiao Rongyan's fingers are long and thin, with distinct and strong joints.
He gently pulled Bai Qingyan towards him, and stared at Bai Qingyan's fair and delicate face with deep eyes.
The distance between the two was extremely close, so close that Bai Qingyan could clearly see Xiao Rongyan's extremely long eyelashes.
"I understand what you said! My mother, a woman whose intelligence surpasses a man's by a hundred times, also fell on a love word. At that time, my mother and father belonged to the same country, or they ended up like that. I understand your concerns. !" Xiao Rongyan looked calm, and said very seriously, "I won't force you, I just make a gentleman's agreement! When the world is unified, when you and I will become husband and wife!"
Bai Qingyan was about to retreat, but Xiao Rongyan went one step further. His tall and straight body was almost close to her. He held her thin wrist tightly with one hand and her thin shoulder with the other, and said in a low voice: "This agreement is not a promise of love, but a promise of love." It's because... there will be no one else between you and me except each other! If you, Bai Qingyan, have a husband, he must be Murong Yan, and if I have a wife, she must be Bai Qingyan."
Xiao Rongyan's deep eyes were serious and affectionate: "How dare you answer?"
Bai Qingyan's palms tightened.
The hot wind rushed into Bai Qingyan's neck, making her ears burn.
Such strong words are unreasonable, this is already a private decision for life, isn't it considered a promise?
"I was injured a few years ago, and there is no hope of an heir." Bai Qingyan also lowered his voice, "You are the Ninth Prince of Dayan, and you have no sons... Your imperial brother may not agree."
"Women who can give birth to children are everywhere in the world, but Bai Qingyan only has one, and she seeks a wife... not a son!"
Xiao Rongyan was very close, and his voice was very low. When he spoke, the heat swept across her eyelashes, making her eyelashes tremble uncontrollably.
"If I hadn't thought it through, I wouldn't have said this to you rashly! The prince once told me that if I enter the Bai family, even if Miss Bai's heirs are shallow, I will be hindered as a son-in-law if I want to take a concubine! I tell the prince... what Yan chooses his wife to value is whether the two can know each other for a lifetime, and she seeks to be a confidant, not an inheritance for the heirs!"
After Xiao Rongyan finished speaking, he let go of Bai Qingyan a little, looked at her and said: "For the rest of my life, I only ask Bai Qingyan to stay with me for the rest of my life!"
Xiao Rongyan's words carried so much weight that Bai Qingyan didn't dare to answer, her throat seemed to be choked.
He stroked Bai Qingyan's slender wrist, and spoke slowly: "When the world is unified, when you and I will become husband and wife! Before that... you and I reciprocate and benefit each other, and if the benefits are exhausted, we will separate, and we will not talk about friendship." , such a gentleman's agreement, how dare you?"
The second update...keep asking for a monthly pass!
