Zhaoning's heart remains the same.
Eight words, one by one, pounded into Xiao Changying's heart, like an iron pestle being hit hard by a heavy hammer, and the pain made him dizzy.
“Princess, didn’t you see what happened just now…” Xiao Changying couldn’t hide his dull and depressed tone.
Shen Xihe knew what he was referring to. He meant that Xiao Huayong could not even endure the coming-of-age ceremony, and was destined to die young, as everyone knows.
"Your Highness, I know exactly what the Crown Prince is like." Shen Xihe replied calmly.
Xiao Changying was puzzled, and stared at Shen Xihe with eyes filled with pain, "You don't mind?"
Shen Xihe smiled at him faintly, did not answer, bowed, and left silently.
Xiao Changqing saw Xiao Changying chasing Shen Xihe out, and he followed them, watching from afar without eavesdropping on their conversation. He was just worried that Xiao Changying would do something inappropriate out of impulse. Today was the crowning ceremony of the crown prince, and all the civil and military officials were watching.
Only after Shen Xihe left did he come over and pat him on the shoulder: "Brother, if you can let it go, then let it go."
Princess Zhaoning's intentions have been made clear, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince specially invited her to watch the ceremony, which also made his thoughts public.
Xiao Changying lowered his eyes and let Xiao Changqing take him away. He followed Xiao Changqing back to Prince Xin's mansion and drank a pot of wine: "Brother, I think I can't let it go..."
Ever since Shen Xihe clearly rejected him last time, he has tried to numb himself with busyness, not seeing her, not touching anything related to her, and not allowing himself to be idle. Perhaps he will be able to forget it after a while.
Isn't she just a girl? No matter how unique she is, can't he forget her
Xiao Changying warned himself that he had lived well without her during these days, and he thought this was letting go.
When he heard that she was in danger in the hunting ground, he anxiously went to look for her. He put aside the matter of His Majesty beheading the snake, lied that he was bedridden, and let people mock him for hiding away from the snake, but he did not find her after all.
He told himself that he was not meant to be with her.
He wanted to let it go, but when he saw her appear at the Crown Prince's coming-of-age ceremony, he realized that he had been deceiving himself. His so-called letting go was just an escape from facing the situation.
It turns out that a person can really live in another person's heart, deeply embedded in the bones and blood, and unable to let go.
If you want to forget her and let yourself go, you have to dig out this heart.
"Even if you can't let go, you have to learn to let go." Xiao Changqing wiped his clay xun and answered with his head down.
"Brother, when did you fall in love with Fifth Sister-in-law?" Xiao Changying had never mentioned Gu Qingzhi in front of his brother, not when she was alive, and this was the first time he formally mentioned her after her death.
He once didn't know what love was. He always felt that his brother's ambitions were wiped out by Gu Qingzhi. How great it would be if his brother had never met this woman.
Only at this moment did he understand that meeting some people is a first sight that will last a lifetime, while not meeting them is like a dream that will be a lifelong regret.
Xiao Changqing's hand paused, he slowly raised his hand, his eyes fell on the hibiscus swaying in the wind, his mind drifting away with the swaying of the delicate flowers.
When will you fall in love
It was a glimpse of her from afar in the misty rain on the small building. She was standing in the wind in a plain gauze dress, with an indifferent and distant look on her face.
