"Besides, what he said is right. My sister is indeed not bad. From a man's point of view, my sister has a top-notch figure. Even your sister-in-law has praised her many times and she is extremely envious. He said that he met you when we were bathing together, and said that your figure was peerless and unparalleled. Women felt ashamed when they saw you. They said that whoever gets to marry him would be lucky, and scolded those men for being blind. You know, your sister-in-law is not If you can say flattery, it must be true, so why should you belittle yourself?"
Shang Shuqing's cheeks burned at what he said, and she spat, "Brother, you are so rude!"
Lan Ruoting, who was listening in, smiled.
"Alas!" Shang Chaozong raised his hands to support her shoulders again, "Qing'er, Li Ye is really good! Although he is seven or eight years older than you, the difference between men and women is nothing. Although he is widowed, You and I both know the reason why he was widowed, and it's not his fault. In fact, I didn't expect him to say this before, and I was surprised."
"To be honest, because of your face, if you marry someone else, I really don't trust those people who judge people by their appearance. But for Li Ye, we are all people who know the basics and will not treat you poorly. He is one of us." , it’s not like this because he’s attracted to the power of our family, and he’s not the kind of person who lives and drinks. Don’t refuse in a hurry. While the war is frozen and he is free, you can contact him first and take a look. Can we talk about it if it’s to your liking, okay?”
Shang Shuqing was silent for a while, but finally shook her head and said: "Brother, forget it, I don't want to get married, this is fine. Thank you for General Li's kindness, just say that I am not worthy of him."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Why are you not worthy of him?" Shang Chaozong was anxious and grabbed her wrist, "There is no reason for a daughter's family not to marry. How can you tell me to talk to my dead parents and eldest brother like this? , Second brother explains?”
Shang Shuqing said with a hint of pain: "Brother, are you in such a hurry to marry me off? Do you think I'm an eyesore when I stay at home?"
"You...are presumptuous!" Shang Chaozong was furious and grabbed her arm.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Lan Ruoting hurriedly stepped forward, inserted himself between the two of them, pulled Shang Chaozong's hand away, and separated the two.
Shang Chaozong was so angry that he pointed at Shang Shuqing, "On matters related to marriage, you must obey your parents' orders. If your parents are away, your brother can make the decision for you. You must agree to this matter today, or you must agree if you don't!"
Shang Shuqing: "You said you wouldn't force me on this matter. Don't you mean what you say?"
Shang Chaozong: "Am I forcing you? I'm doing this for your own good. You should be happy that Li Ye can say this. Can you find anyone more suitable for you than Li Ye?"
Shang Shuqing: "Brother, I told you I don't want to get married. Don't force me anymore. If you force me again, I'll leave!"
"Are you leaving?" Shang Chaozong glared angrily, "In these troubled times, where can you go? Are you tired of living?"
Shang Shuqing: "I'm going to Thatched Cottage!"
"Thatched Cottage?" Shang Chaozong's face sank, he pushed away Lan Ruoting who was trying to dissuade him, and pointed at Shang Shuqing's nose, "It's Thatched Cottage again! I know, I know, you think I don't know that about you Are you thinking? Niu Youdao! Do you like him? "
The words were urgent, and Shang Shuqing pushed back, "I like him, but can't I even like someone else? Brother, when did you become so domineering?"
Shang Chaozong pointed at his nose and laughed angrily, "Am I overbearing? Am I overbearing? I'm doing this for your own good. I don't want to see my sister sad. I just want you to have a good life! Sister, Stop having those unrealistic fantasies. I know you like him, but this kind of thing requires your consent. If you like him and he doesn't like you, your wishful thinking is useless! Niu Youdao, what is Taoist? You have been in contact with such a person for so many years, don’t you still know him well?”
"He holds the wind and clouds in his hands, has a beautiful world in his mind, looks thousands of miles away, and hears the sound of thunder in his ears. How can such a person give up on his lifelong pursuit of companionship?"
"He is too rational. There is no love between men and women in his eyes. Even if there is, ordinary women cannot catch his eye, let alone you? Don't you know your own face? You have combed it so well for him. After years of headache, I don’t believe that he doesn’t know your thoughts, even if it’s like a stone, it’s too warm, but how did he treat you? Did he mean anything in that way? He didn’t want to hurt you by saying too much, he wanted to You retreated despite the difficulties, don’t you understand?”
Tears appeared in Shang Shuqing's eyes. She was really stimulated by his words. With a gentle nature, she said loudly: "You don't have to worry about this matter!"
Shang Chaozong trembled with his hands, as if he wanted to cut his heart out, "I don't care who cares about your affairs? Qing'er, what do you like about him? You have to come up with an explanation after all this hard work. Bar?"
Tears fell from Shang Shuqing's eyes, "Brother, don't force me, don't force me. I don't know, I really don't know, I can't explain what happened. The first time I saw him, Under that splendid peach tree, he slept under the colorful rain of fallen flowers. I had an indescribable feeling. It seemed that he was waiting for me there, and he had been imprisoned there for five full years. Nian, seems to be waiting for my arrival, as if he will only leave when I come, as if he will always be there waiting for me if I don't show up, as if no one can take him away except me, he has been waiting for me …”
Speaking of this, he broke down in tears, choked with sobs and shook his head: "I know that the Shangqing Sect is perfunctory with me. I am not familiar with him and don't understand him, but I still took him down the mountain. Although I have a reason, I understand in my heart , there seemed to be something that prompted me to make that decision, even though I knew he might be of no use, I just felt like he was waiting for me."
"After coming down the mountain, even if he didn't show any ability, I would always pay attention to him subconsciously, and I would often look at him, as if he was the only one in my eyes. After that, no matter how crowded there were, when I looked back, inexplicably, You can always find exactly where he is standing at first glance.”
"Men and women are not close to each other. Before, I never thought that I would be alone in the same room with a man who was not mine. I never thought that I would comb the hair of a man who was not mine. There is no way I would do this. But when I faced him, even if I wasn't very familiar with him, I just did it for no reason."
"Every time I comb his hair, I always have a strange feeling. He sits there with his back to me. It's not that he can't see me, but because his back is to me. He seems to know that I will definitely appear there. Next to him, he wanted to see me, but when he opened his eyes, he saw me in the mirror. He thought I was in the mirror, but actually I was behind him. Every time he opened his eyes, he looked at me in the mirror. When I was walking, I also looked at him in the mirror. Why do I have to look at him through a mirror? I always have an inexplicable impulse, and I strongly want him to look back at me and tell him that I am behind him, but my My face is ugly and I dare not say it out loud."
"You all secretly advised me to give up, but I always feel that he will never give up on me. I always feel that he is here for me. This feeling is very strong, so strong that I am willing to believe him unconditionally. Even if I see He is in pairs with other women, but I still believe in him."
"Brother, it's really an inexplicable feeling. I don't know why, and I can't explain what's going on. Maybe my parents secretly sent him to help us."
Lan Ruoting was a little dumbfounded when he heard this. He felt that the princess was confused and talking in her sleep.
Shang Chaozong's expression twitched and he was stunned. He had never seen his sister like this before. What was he talking about? are you crazy? I feel like I am trapped in love.
After calming down, he said earnestly: "Qing'er, stop dreaming, he doesn't like you, so don't hold on to that hope. I also hope that he can fulfill your wish, but there is no hope, don't delay, he If he can afford it, even if he is seventy or eighty years old, he can find any young and beautiful girl he wants. Can you afford it? Qing'er, you are already an old girl. If you continue to delay it, your life will be ruined. How can you Can't you listen? Okay, I just want to ask you, if you touch your face, do you dare to tell him that you like him in front of him?" It seemed that he wanted to wake her up.
Shang Shuqing was greatly stimulated by his last words, and said loudly: "Stop talking, I won't marry anyone, I will live like this all my life, if you think I shouldn't stay here, you are the prince, here You have the final say, you can order me to be kicked out at any time!"
"You...I will teach you a lesson on behalf of my parents today!" Shang Chaozong was impulsive. Lan Ruoting quickly hugged him and shouted, "Princess, you go back first!"
Shang Shuqing wiped her tears with her sleeves and turned to leave. However, she stopped when she reached the door. With her back turned, she said a few words, "Brother, I have little involvement in military and political affairs. I don't know much. You guys I don’t know whether the decision is right or wrong, and I don’t dare to interfere in the life and death of too many people. However, I would like to advise you not to make things impossible. I don’t know what others are capable of, but Dao Master’s ability... I believe in him. If he can come back, I firmly believe that he will come back, so take care of yourself and don’t make it so that you can’t stop it!”
After that, he wiped away his tears and left quickly.
In so many years, today was the first time that she spoke her true feelings in an emotional state.
Shang Chaozong was really furious, panting like an ox, "How could this happen? Qing'er has always been smart, how could she talk nonsense? How could a good person become like this?"
Lan Ruoting pulled him and kept comforting him, "Your Majesty, don't be angry. There is no need. Girls' families have emotional moments, and it is inevitable for them to fall in love at the beginning. It will be fine in the future, and it will be fine in the future."
Shang Chaozong turned around and asked him, "She is in love for the first time? Do you think she looks like she is in love for the first time? She is already talking nonsense! I am now worried that she is not able to think about it because of her face and falls into some kind of emotion to escape." What? Among the soldiers below, there are people who have experienced this situation due to the fear of killing. I have seen them and the symptoms are very similar."
"Uh..." Lan Ruoting was stunned. After thinking about it, he realized that it was really possible. He said with a solemn expression, "I'll ask the mage to check it carefully for the princess."
Shang Chaozong nodded and suddenly reminded, "Don't irritate her, don't let her know that you are treating her."
Lan Ruoting said humbly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will make arrangements so that the princess will not be suspicious."
