"Let go." Lou Qingwu's clear and indifferent voice, like a white lotus in ice jade and snow, smashed into the cochlea, alienated but still makes people flock to it.
"Don't let go!" Hugging the softness in her arms made Xia Hourui even more drunk, thinking it was just a dream.
At the threshold, Xiahou Liuyun and Lan Bai, who had just arrived, stared wide-eyed. Lan Bai saw the scene, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to step forward to drag the hooligan second prince away, but Xiahou Liuyun covered his mouth and dragged him away. Go out, and graciously close the door.
"Hmm..." Xiahou Liuyun, you bastard, my master's reputation!
Regardless of Lan Bai's struggle, Xiahou Liuyun directly dragged him to the opposite box.
In Xia Hourui's box, the two stood embracing each other, as if they were lovers, but one had drunk eyes and the other had clear eyes.
"Really?" The confinement of the body made Lou Qingwu narrow her eyes coldly. She reached for the table with her right hand, picked up the gold bottle, and raised her hand. All the nectar and jade dew in the cup splashed on Xiahou Rui's handsome and unparalleled face. .
Xia Hourui felt his arm loosen, and Lou Qingwu pushed him away, stepped back three steps, and stared at him with cold eyes.
Xia Hourui wiped his face and woke up a lot. After seeing clearly that the woman in front of him was not an illusory dreamer, but a real existence, Jun's face paled.
"Lou, girl Lou... I..."
"It seems that the second prince is awake." Lou Qingwu nodded slowly, walked to the table, put down the golden cup and sat down, opened her eyelids, and looked at the anxious man.
Xia Hourui's heart skipped a beat at this glance, and when he sat back to his original position, he still felt a tiny numbness all over his body that spread to his bone marrow. How long have you not seen her? Originally, she thought that she would not see him again if she knew what she was thinking, but she still came today. Does this mean that she doesn't actually hate him that much
But why, since she said she wanted to help him, she kept pestering her third brother endlessly.
These days, apart from the pressure from the queen mother, it is the sadness of her letting gossip.
"Miss Lou, you..."
"I want to ask why I got so close to the third prince?"
"… Um."
"But what capacity are you asking me? Unmarried men and women are unmarried, whoever I want to get close to, this should be my right." Lou Qingwu poured a glass of wine by himself, the wine in the glass swayed slightly, Reflecting her indifferent face.
"I'm just..." Xia Hou Rui straightened up abruptly, wanting to explain, but still looking forward to it.
"Just what? You think I'm willing to do my best to help you, because I have a heart for you?"
"..." Even though Xia Hourui didn't want to admit it, he really thought so in his heart. Therefore, even though the song "Shen Li" made him agree to the marriage at the Furong Festival, after waking up, he regretted and hesitated Undecided, wandering between free and uncertain.
"I thought I had made it very clear at the time. But since the second prince wants to hear it, I will tell you personally. The reason why I help you is because you are outstanding among these princes. At least you are enough Rende also has the ability to govern the country, helping you is easier than helping others."
"That is to say, even if it's not me, it could be someone else?" Xia Hourui felt as if his heart had been hit hard, and what he said was burning and painful.
"Yes." She cut the mess quickly, she just wanted revenge, and the love between these men and women should be cut off as soon as possible.
Lou Qingwu's indifference made Xia Hourui's thin lips tighten, and he clenched the golden bottle in front of him.
But in the end he held his forehead helplessly.
Lou Qingwu drooped her eyes, her thoughts turned a thousand times, and after a while, she raised her eyes again, her eyes became colder and colder.
"Actually, Second Prince, you don't like me that much, it's just that my help gave you an illusion."
"That's not the case." Xia Hourui denied it intuitively, looking into the bottom of Lou Qingwu's eyes, and then staggered her gaze. Her eyes were too transparent, as if she could see through people's hearts, which made him flustered inexplicably.
"Really?" Lou Qingwu murmured coolly, "Second prince, do you want that position?"
Xia Hourui knew she was talking about the "emperor".
Originally, he was indifferent to that position, but after the father's birthday banquet, this idea changed completely. He knelt there, and when the heart was frantically bumping into his body, his mind went blank. Crazy, queen mother, seventh brother, everything is over. He wants to protect them, so he can only stand at the highest point, otherwise, they are likely to be trampled under their feet again, feeling restless and terrified all day long.
Such a situation is not what he wants to see, so he wants... the throne.
"Yes, I want to take that seat."
"I can help you, but," Lou Qingwu looked at the sake in front of her, raised her wrist and drank it, and then looked at Xia Hourui, "If you had to choose between me and that position, which one would you choose?"
"Miss Lou?" Xia Hourui was puzzled, she and the throne didn't have to be chosen at all.
But the expression in Lou Qingwu's eyes was too serious, and he became inexplicably uneasy.
"Tell me an answer, which one to choose?"
"Miss Lou... don't force me." Xia Hourui covered his head fiercely, his thoughts were in confusion, he was unwilling to give up her, but he gave up the throne, everything that the queen mother and the seventh brother would face made him even more uneasy .
Lou Qingwu smiled.
"Look, you already have the answer in your heart, you don't like me that much, it's just that the little favor in your heart is infinitely exaggerated by you, even if it's not me, anyone who is willing to help me under such circumstances Your daughter, you will treat each other sincerely, second prince, this is the gratitude that exists under your coldness, which other princes do not have, so this is also the reason why I am willing to help you. However, this cannot be the reason for you to trap yourself A cage to live in. I believe that the second prince is so smart, he should be able to figure it out quickly."
"..." Xia Hourui raised his head in a daze, his dark eyes gloomy.
Is it really
"Second prince, think about it carefully, I will leave first. Oh, by the way, there is another point, even if I marry the third prince, it will never affect me to help you get that position. You can rest assured."
After leaving these words, Lou Qingwu turned around and left indifferently.
I hope that after this time, they can become the best partners.
Xia Hourui sat alone in the side room for a long time in a daze, then rubbed his eyebrows and gave a wry smile, and slowly picked up the jug until he drank all the wine.
Shaking stood up and walked outside.
But he knew that he still gave up something after all, and the next time we meet, it will only be a brand new him.
It's just, is he really just... grateful for her
