Chapter 547 When Will You Get Married?
Perhaps it was Li Beifeng's words that woke her up. Google search reading
She wants to be herself for once!
For Zhao Ying, she has lived under the identity of the eldest princess her whole life.
The eldest princess of Dazhao, who was only favored by the emperor, was inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, and she had the power to overpower the prince of the dynasty. In everyone's eyes, she is undoubtedly the luckiest person in the world.
However, for Zhao Ying, this favor has also become a constraint for her.
"Actually, I don't have any deep feelings for my father!"
Another bowl of strong wine was consumed. The strong wine stimulated Zhao Ying's internal organs. A hot breath slowly rose up, and there seemed to be a faint drunken red breath all over her body.
She looked out the window, her eyes wandering and a little confused.
In my mind, I suddenly recalled some past events.
When Li Beifeng heard her words, he was also slightly stunned.
Don't have deep feelings?
His mind flashed back to Zhao Ying's expression when she saw the resurrected Emperor Zhao. Although she was surprised and slightly happy, it seemed that she was not as surprised as she imagined?
Logically speaking, Zhao Ying should be particularly excited and excited that her relative, the Emperor, was 'resurrected from the dead', but her previous reaction was not like this.
At that time, Li Beifeng didn't take it to heart, just thinking that she was cold-tempered and not good at expressing emotions. When he heard her say this again, Li Beifeng felt something was wrong.
"How do you say this?"
"My mother died when I was very young!"
Zhao Ying looked out the window at the dark night in the distance, staring at the starry sky, as if muttering to herself: "After the death of my mother, my father's temperament also changed drastically..."
In her mind, the impression of her mother had even been molded. When her mother died, she had just begun to remember. When I look back now, more than ten years have passed.
After her mother passed away, her father's temperament changed drastically, he abandoned the government and neglected her.
She, the eldest princess of Jokhang, seemed to have been forgotten by her father in the Jokhang harem.
"The struggle in the harem is more cruel than imagined..."
Recalling some memory, Zhao Ying's eyes were slightly moved, and the emotion on her face also changed.
Li Beifeng, who was listening quietly on the side, felt a little heavy in his heart.
He knew that Zhao Ying's mother died young, but he never knew that she still had such a past. Li Beifeng could not believe it. How could a little princess, who was only a few years old, survive in the extremely cruel harem?
You must know that the struggles in the harem of past dynasties were actually no easier than the struggles in the court.
As we all know, being a prince in the past dynasties was an extremely dangerous profession. In addition, the princes and princesses in the palace faced survival crises no less than those of the princes.
The power in the harem is entrenched, complicated and full of intrigues. A princess without any backer to protect her can easily be killed quietly in a quiet night!
"Master is protecting me!"
As if she remembered something, a hint of warmth appeared in Zhao Ying's eyes.
It was the appearance of the master that protected her, a princess who was forgotten in the palace at that time.
The master accepted her as his disciple, taught her martial arts, and frightened those young disciples who had ill intentions towards her... Without the master, she would definitely not be alive today.
"master?"
Li Beifeng frowned slightly. He knew that Zhao Ying had a master, but he had never seen his master appear.
Who is her master?
"Master has been with me for more than ten years, but my father... has almost never appeared in these ten years."
Zhao Ying's beautiful eyes were particularly calm: "It wasn't until a few years ago, when I became famous in Beijing, that my father finally noticed my daughter who had been forgotten in the corner..."
"He handed Qin Tiansi to me and gave me great power, letting everyone in the world know that I am his most favored daughter..."
Zhao Ying still spoke calmly, not knowing what her emotions were. Just when she said this, she lowered her eyes slightly: "He handed over Qin Tiansi to me,
In addition to asking me to rectify the world and recruit various sects. Another reason is to check and balance Zhao Jing..."
Li Beifeng watched her emotions: "Do you hate him?"
"Don't hate it!"
Zhao Ying shook her head, her eyes slightly dazed.
hatred?
Not to mention hate!
But how close is it? Not really.
She and her father are more like a cooperative relationship, but on top of the cooperative relationship, a layer of family love is added.
Zhao Ying seemed to be a little drunk in her eyes, and when she looked back at Li Beifeng, she was a little confused.
"But he is my father after all. The blood of the Jokhang royal family flows in my body. I still can't watch the Jokhang country be destroyed. This is my father's hard work, and also..."
Zhao Ying was silent for a moment and looked into the distance again: "It's also the master's obsession!"
…
Li Beifeng did not speak and looked at Zhao Ying in front of him quietly.
She's a little drunk!
Or maybe it's just emotional.
Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for her to say such things from her heart.
Li Beifeng felt a little heavy in his heart, and also felt some unspeakable distress. As expected, she carries too many people's hopes, too much responsibilities and pressure.
Everything she did was not for herself.
"Are you happy?"
Li Beifeng suddenly asked.
Zhao Ying seemed stunned for a moment.
happy?
It was a word she had never thought of.
Are you happy?
She savored the word carefully, and after a long time, she shook her head gently: "I don't know."
"But it doesn't matter anymore."
After saying these words from her heart, Zhao Ying's expression became much more relaxed.
These were words she buried in her heart and never told anyone. For her, this is a secret and a past she is unwilling to face.
But tonight, perhaps under the stimulation of alcohol, she spoke her mind for the first time. After finishing speaking, Zhao Ying felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation and comfort. I let go of the heavy burden on my heart, no longer burdened and heavy.
"That's fine!"
Seeing her relieved look, Li Beifeng felt relieved.
Maybe for her, giving up is not necessarily a bad thing.
She let go of her obsessions and became herself, which was far more important than being the eldest princess of Jozhao.
If possible, Li Beifeng would also like to be himself, but...
He had no choice.
"When do you plan to leave?"
Li Beifeng seemed to ask inadvertently.
"Just these two days!"
Zhao Ying's voice became much softer. She didn't have much to remember in Beijing. It might be a good thing to leave here early.
"Will you come back?"
For some reason, Li Beifeng felt an unspeakable emotion in his heart when he heard her words of relief.
Are you reluctant to give up?
Zhao Ying slowly turned her head, her indifferent eyes still bright and dazzling.
"I don't know!"
Her voice revealed confusion and unknown emotions: "If I have the chance, I might come back. But..."
She shook her head slightly and did not continue.
But Li Beifeng had already understood from her eyes...she didn't want to come back.
The capital no longer has any attraction for her.
"If the country is stable and peaceful, there is no need for me to come back!"
Zhao Ying spoke softly.
After giving up Qin Tiansi and her identity, she felt relaxed.
A stable, peaceful and prosperous Dazhao Kingdom would not lack an eldest princess like her, and she would no longer have to travel for the Dazhao Kingdom.
She wants to be herself.
Li Beifeng stared into her eyes for a moment, then smiled a little and said in a relaxed tone: "So, tonight is probably the last time you and I will see each other?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ying's body reacted slightly and imperceptibly.
She glanced at Li Beifeng and then looked away.
"Maybe..."
The world is so big, once she leaves the capital. In the future, I am afraid it will be difficult to have the chance to meet again.
"You and I can be considered friends after all... we should be considered friends, right?"
Li Beifeng filled a bowl of wine and picked up the bowl: "Since you are leaving, I should do a good job for you and have a good drink tonight?"
Zhao Ying stared at Li Beifeng's face and the changes in emotions on his face.
"Are we friends?"
After a long time, she suddenly asked.
Li Beifeng asked back: "Doesn't it count?"
Zhao Ying said nothing. After a moment of silence, she picked up the wine bowl in front of her and drank it all in one gulp.
The movement is very light, but it does not lose the heroic spirit of the children of the world.
If she is not the Princess of Zhao, she should be a very famous heroine in the world.
After another glass of strong wine, her face turned redder, her fair and rosy skin seemed to be dripping with water, and her eyes were even more moist. It's a little less cold and a little more tender.
Li Beifeng chuckled and drank the same drink in one gulp.
Immediately afterwards, the atmosphere in the attic became dull for no reason. No one spoke between the two.
A sadness called separation gradually spread between the two.
Are they friends?
Li Beifeng thought of this problem again.
It should be.
He recalled the scene where he met Zhao Ying. That night in Ping'an County, in that dark alley, he saw this woman with glowing eyes for the first time.
Bright and bright, like stars.
This was the first meeting between the two of them, and it was not a pleasant one!
She was injured and took Li Beifeng hostage. Li Beifeng bandaged her injury. In return, she gave the pear blossom needle to Li Beifeng.
This is the first time the two met.
Perhaps no one expected that the two would meet again in Chaoyang County and fall into a strange and complicated relationship.
The days in Chaoyang County were also the days when the two were most honest and had the closest relationship.
In order to deal with Li Suyi, Zhao Ying took the initiative to approach him. In order to practice martial arts, Li Beifeng also took the initiative to ask her for teaching again and again. As the two interacted with each other again and again, an inexplicable feeling arose between them.
For others, maybe this is just ambiguous!
However, for Zhao Ying, who has never had any emotional experience, she has almost fallen.
If it takes longer, no one is sure what will happen.
Unfortunately, her father's order forced her to leave Chaoyang County early and return to the capital.
Not long after she left, Li Beifeng also left Chaoyang County and headed to Beizhou. The two met again in Beizhou by chance.
However, when they reunited again, things were not happy between the two.
As for the reason, it is self-evident.
There is one person who always stands between the two of them.
For Zhao Ying, pride is as much as she is unwilling to admit that her skills are inferior to others.
So, she was very angry.
For Li Beifeng, after learning his true identity, it was like a bucket of cold water poured down his throat, making him completely sober.
It also made his attitude towards Zhao Ying change drastically. He didn't dare to face her and deliberately avoided her.
Therefore, the relationship between the two became stiff and cold for a while.
Until later, the two returned to the capital again. Li Beifeng planned to kill Zhao Jing, and Zhao Jing planned to eliminate Zhao Ying.
By mistake, Li Beifeng saved her again.
Then, Zhao Jing killed his father, and the situation in Dazhao was turbulent until now...
The two sat together again and communicated calmly. This was the first time they had been so peaceful since they met in Beizhou.
It was like friends who had known each other for a long time, without contradictions or unpleasantness. Some were just frank talks.
However, tonight suddenly seemed to be the last time they met.
Li Beifeng felt a little heavy.
When Zhao Ying decided to leave the capital, he subconsciously wanted to keep her. But when the thought of retaining her came to mind, he hesitated again.
What identity did he use to retain her?
Will she stay?
More importantly...
If she really stayed, then what?
Li Beifeng could not give her any promise.
The identities between the two of them had already doomed them to have no results.
They were enemies!
Enemies with family and country hatred and blood feuds!
Even if Li Beifeng didn't care, he had to take into account the thoughts of others. Behind him were the Taoist nuns who worked hard to restore the Northern Qi, the ministers who were still loyal to the Northern Qi, and the millions of people of the former Northern Qi.
Thinking of this, Li Beifeng's heart tightened, and he felt a little stuffy, which made him particularly uncomfortable. The cold wind at night was very comfortable, but he felt endless chest tightness.
He grabbed the wine pot on the table, put it to his mouth and drank it all.
He didn't stop until the whole pot of wine was drunk, and then the strong liquor stimulated Li Beifeng's senses and numbed his nerves. All over his body, his internal organs seemed to be burning, and his thoughts and consciousness gradually became blurred under the stimulation of alcohol.
The feeling of chest tightness also faded a lot.
Li Beifeng breathed a sigh of relief and looked up.
He found that Zhao Ying was looking at him straight, her delicate and flawless face looked a little drunk, and there were some thoughts lingering in her beautiful eyes.
Her snow-like long dress was as beautiful as a painting, and her temperament was unparalleled.
Even though she was a little drunk at this time, Zhao Ying still sat upright, with an elegant sitting posture, breathtaking beauty, and more and more moving.
"What about you!"
She suddenly asked.
"Me?"
Zhao Ying glanced at the night outside the window and said indifferently: "Do you plan to stay in the capital, or... leave?"
"Leave!"
Li Beifeng nodded.
Leaving the capital was also his plan long ago.
Zhao Ying's eyes moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something.
"What about her?"
Li Beifeng suddenly raised her head.
Her beautiful face was still calm, and her eyes were as ordinary as usual, as if she was asking an insignificant person.
But...
Li Beifeng's mood could not calm down at all.
"She..."
Li Beifeng opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.
This is not a good question!
What did she mean by suddenly mentioning Su Yi?
Li Beifeng looked at her, trying to see something from her face.
However, Zhao Ying shifted her sight and looked out the window. Staring at the night scenery for a long time, she spoke calmly.
"When will you get married?"
"..." (To be continued)
