Whenever I mentioned this later, she always said that I was not gentle enough. Actually that's not the case, it's just that I... I don't dare to face my heart.
Ever since I was sensible, I have had no mother and concubine. The nanny who took care of me told me that there is no longer anyone in this world that I would sacrifice my life to protect.
You just need to love yourself, that's enough.
If one day you encounter danger, you only need to protect your own life, and... women are a disaster.
It was probably because of the wet nurse’s words that made me think that all women in the world are confusing.
Fortunately, I am naturally indifferent and have never met anyone I like.
Until... I met her on that windy and snowy day, which overturned all my previous opinions.
In the moment of life and death, she looked at me with a firm face and asked me to fight the enemy.
The moment I jumped off the cliff, I unconsciously wanted to protect her. Even if the person who died was myself, I would not look back.
It was probably from that time that I discovered that there could be someone in this world who was more important to me than myself.
It turns out that I also have people who I can protect with all my life. Just like my mother-in-law back then, she was desperate...
In that small room filled with the atmosphere of my mother-in-law, I told her a story about my mother-in-law Linglong and Bu Yi.
She was very moved, and her eyes became gentle when she looked at me.
In fact, I no longer care about this. Everyone has the right to choose the one they love, including life and death.
However, I never thought that I would have to say goodbye to her one day.
After returning from Xuefeng Mountain, I took her into the East Palace. This is the first time I have brought a woman into the East Palace. Naturally, the servants in the palace immediately knew her place in my heart and respected her very much.
I like this feeling very much. Even though she has no title yet, everyone naturally regards her as the mistress.
Although I was busy every day during those days, I could see her when I came back, which made me feel satisfied.
In fact, in addition to reporting Ninth Brother's matter to Emperor Feng, I also ordered people to quietly investigate the matter between Rong Muling and her.
When I heard that she had been alone for three years, what filled my heart was not jealousy, but heartache.
She was obviously so good, yet she was treated like this. That Rong Muling simply had no discernment.
After I learned about this, I planned my birthday party.
I transplanted all the peach blossoms within dozens of miles of Chang'an City to the palace. Once Rong Muling was unwilling to give even a peach blossom to her Rong Mansion, I want to plant ten miles of peach groves in the East Palace.
That day, I invited Rong Sen and Rong Muling to a banquet.
They came full of joy, thinking that I wanted to reveal the relationship between them and Ninth Brother.
Little did they know, I just wanted to show off my loved ones to them.
However, there is only one interlude in the middle. In my eyes, Lan Lingqian is the person who would never even glance at her.
But I didn't expect that such an insignificant person would actually make me miserable.
That day, peach blossoms were flying. She stood at the door of the hall, and I slowly walked toward her step by step, feeling extremely excited.
This is like a ritual. I am announcing to everyone that the person I hold in my hands is the only person I love in my life.
By the way, I kissed her directly in front of everyone, including Rong Muling.
Her face was full of panic and her face was red. During the seven years when I couldn't survive or die, she frequently appeared in my mind.
Lingering... (To be continued)
