For a moment, Yan Ning appeared in front of the King of Chu, but only looked at his face.

At the noisy and glorious palace banquet, the royal family gathered, but the eyes of the beautiful and charming little girl would only fall on him.

No one could see in her eyes, reflecting the brilliant and dazzling lights of the harem, only looking at him.

She made sober soup for him only.

Stingy and innocent.

But he asked him to know that she kept him in her heart.

And he is the only one in my heart.

That bowl of sobering soup that belongs only to him, is unique to him.

And the little girl's bright smiling face should only belong to him.

The King of Chu's face was stiff and he sat in his seat for a long time without saying anything.

"Is that right?" he said lightly after a long time.

"That's it." The emperor saw the King of Chu's face slightly dark. Although he seemed to have a little expression, his eyes were filled with depression. After thinking about it, he decided to add another handful of firewood to the royal family, who refused to marry a wife, and said with a smile, "I am obviously the one who is closest to her and likes her the most, but she doesn't know what I want, but she is alienated from me. It's really heartbreaking."

He shook his head slightly, but the King of Chu had already stood up coldly and said, "Thank you for your reminder." He didn't say much in the eyes of the emperor looking up at him with a smile. He raised his foot and left the palace and went straight back to his own Chu Palace. The King of Chu Palace was not quiet, and there were guards of the King of Chu Palace everywhere. However, the King of Chu felt that something was suddenly missing at this moment.

The palace and his heart seemed to be empty.

Yan Ning's countless faces for him flashed in front of his eyes.

Smiling, happy, happy, and chasing behind him.

But why, every time he would turn around and stop and wait for her to walk in front of him?

He was so patient with her.

No matter what she said or did to him, he was listening.

The King of Chu stood in the open space in the palace and was silent for a long time.

Today, why did he involuntarily go out of the camp of the suburbs of Beijing with Shen Yanjiang when he heard that the Eleventh Prince met Shen Yanjiang?

That's how he wants to meet Yan Ning?

Even his instinctive drive exceeded his reason and cognition.

It turns out that his body is more honest than his sanity.

"Prince?" Seeing the King of Chu standing in the open space, facing the sunlight for a long time, as if he was thinking, He Ze came over silently and asked in a low voice, "Is it something that Your Majesty is difficult to decide?" He felt that the King of Chu seemed to have hidden his worries recently, but as a subordinate, He Ze couldn't say anything, but smiled and said, "Why would you rather ask for some letters from your cousin? The prince was relieved and happy when he saw it."

Although Yan Ning's letter was always thick and would be very despised by the King of Chu, in fact, the King of Chu had read it patiently. He Ze had never seen his prince treat other people so seriously. Those seals were just a stupid daily life of a little girl, so poor that she was almost boiled water. However, the King of Chu read it carefully and then commented.

In He Ze's eyes, Yan Ning is a child who will make King Chu happy.

Therefore, when he saw that the King of Chu seemed to be in a bad mood recently, he thought of Yan Ning.

Yan Ning's letters will not be cut off, as long as he goes, there will inevitably be one.

The King of Chu paused, his eyes were obscure.

"Do I like Yan Ning's letters so much?" The King of Chu turned his head, a moment of darkness flashed in his eyes, and asked in He Ze's blank gaze, "Am I particularly good to her?" He always thought that he was just like others, at most... he was just a little more patient. After all, he was crying, and he couldn't bear it. He was afraid that even the world would cry like a vast ocean.

He kept telling himself this, but now he suddenly thought... If at the beginning it was just a pity for Yan Ning and a child who needed protection, then why did he still endure it with her when he returned to Kyoto and found that Yan Ning was no longer as timid and weak as before?

The little girl who used to only cry had become a happy smile at some point, and even dared to slap Chen Yanqing directly in the palace without losing.

However, why in the eyes of the King of Chu, she still needs his protection, but he rejects her from being protected by others?

"Isn't the prince special enough to treat her cousin?" He Ze saw that the King of Chu was not talking, and seemed to be thinking about it. After thinking about it, he said, "The prince is particularly patient with her cousin. Prince, think about it, if the person in front of you is not the cousin, but another beauty, the next moment she cries, wouldn't you just kick it over?"

What the King of Chu disliked the most was the crying of a woman, but Yan Ning could hold his arm and rub his tears into the hem of his clothes. If this is not special, what else would be there? "The prince still knows what cousin likes and doesn't like. You have specially prepared gifts for cousin's birthday... Do you remember the birthdays of several noble people?"

He Ze's words made King Chu silent.

"I... at the beginning I really thought she was a junior." The King of Chu said with difficulty.

But maybe it was because he returned to Kyoto, maybe it was because of his birthday gift from Yan Ning who sent her thousands of miles away, or maybe it was because of so many letters from her that he changed his mood when he didn't know it.

He felt a little shameful at this moment.

Because he knew Yan Ning's dependence on him, he changed his mind to her through her trust, and even when she was ignorant, he deliberately approached her.

It turns out that this is the reason why I followed Chen Yanjiang to see Yan Ning today.

He wanted to see her, that's all.

"Or what about the prince?" He Ze found it interesting and strange when he saw the King of Chu say this.

Why don’t you think of a junior? Is it possible to be an ancestor?

But today, the King of Chu's face was unusual, as if he was a little tolerant. He Ze smiled and said, "I'll go to the Duke's Mansion to see it. I don't know if my cousin is anxious." He was sure that Yan Ning would write many letters to the King of Chu. The King of Chu's thin lips were slightly tightened, showing a bit of sternness and solemnity. He knew that he should refuse, and then he was far away from Yan Ning... She was so young and delicate, surrounded by boys from aristocratic families with similar appearances as hers, but what about him?

The King of Chu lowered his eyes and said nothing.

He did not stop He Ze.

At this moment, the King of Chu's eyes were obscure.

He was fair in his half life and never did anything despicable or betrayed his conscience, but this was the only thing.

Only Yan Ning...even if he is so arrogant, once he figures out his feelings, he doesn't want to stop.

He knew that Yan Ning was worthy of something better, but he didn't want to give her up.

Or... Only when he hears Yan Ning's rejection can he truly cut off his heart.

The first time I was moved in my life, I turned out to be a little girl who regarded herself as an elder she relied on.

The King of Chu could even think that if he expressed his feelings to Yan Ning, he would see how disgusting the little girl showed to him.

She would definitely feel that he had let down her trust and dependence, and she would also feel that he was the most disgusting person in the world, with the name of justice and integrity, but she had the most shameful feelings for her.

She would even stay away from him than she is now and would not appear in front of him again. In her eyes, he would always be that shameful and dirty bastard. She would refuse his protection and be far away from him, wishing that everything that he had been intimate with him had never existed, and even his people would be a shame to her.

When the King of Chu thought of this, even though his heart was as hard as iron, he felt his heart hurt.

This is a feeling he has never felt in almost thirty years.

He was once despised by him and thought he would never have any feelings in his life.

Before Yan Ning, he thought he would never fall in love with any woman or marry.

But it turned out that his cold heart was just that he had not met a woman who made him moved.

The King of Chu rubbed his eyebrows and sat on the rockery in the palace, but felt a little expectant in his heart.

He wanted to see the letter Yan Ning gave him. It was a simple complaint from a little girl, and it was only Yan Ning's intimacy with him. He obviously disliked him very much, but Yan Ning didn't understand that it was once the concern he was most looking forward to. He had read all her letters and remembered her every day.

Therefore, the King of Chu was waiting in the palace. However, He Ze, because the King of Chu seemed to be in a bad mood, hurried to the Duke Liguo Mansion. He was familiar with Duke Liguo Mansion, so he naturally went to pay homage to the old lady and Duke Liguo Madam and explained his purpose. The old lady smiled and kept him in his room, sending someone to ask Yan Ning for a letter.

In the past, the old lady thought it was a bit inappropriate, and she thought Yan Ning was stunned. Those stupid letters would make the King of Chu dislike it.

But after so long, the King of Chu still sent the deputy generals around him over, which shows that... one is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten.

She didn't object.

The Chu king had a high throne and power, and was a royal elder who could protect Yan Ning and gain the eyes of the King of Chu. No matter who Yan Ning married to in the future, he would be protected and held by others.

Yan Ning's parents died, and although they were raised by the wife of Duke Liguo, the whole world depends on the family background. Even if Yan Ning was loved by Duke Liguo as his daughter, in the eyes of outsiders, Yan Ning was still rootless duckweed, a pitiful little person without family protection.

Now that he has the love of the King of Chu, who dares to look down on Yan Ning?

The old lady was happy to think, because He Ze was the confidant of the King of Chu, so she naturally became more and more intimate with He Ze. However, Mrs. Jiang San, who was beside her, wanted to speak several times, but was interrupted by the old lady and couldn't help but feel anxious.

She knew that He Ze and Shen Yanjiang were colleagues when they were in Shu. Now that Shen Yanjiang is still in the camp of the suburbs of Beijing, he is still under the command of the King of Chu. He must be familiar with He Ze. Mrs. Jiang wanted to inquire with He Ze, what Shen Yanjiang's behavior is like, and whether his character is correct in the past.

But she didn't dare to snatch the words in front of the old lady, and could only be anxious in her heart.

After being promoted to the third rank of Chen Yanjiang, Mrs. Jiang's disgust towards Chen Yanjiang suddenly disappeared.

She originally wanted to wait until Mr. Jiang San returned home today and asked her husband to go to Duanyang Mansion to ask.

Or... let's ask Ajing to marry Chen Yanjiang.

Although he is a concubine's son, he is also a promising concubine's son. In the future, he can earn A Jing the identity of a wife.

It was only today that she was so moved by Chen Yanjiang. Although it was too late outside, the figure of Mr. Jiang San was still missing. Mrs. Jiang San was anxious.

She was worried that Chen Yanjiang would be intercepted.

The old lady saw Mrs. Jiang San's look that she wanted to interrupt from the side, frowned slightly, and said to Mrs. Jiang San with a kind look, "The third brother is back from the yamen. You are his wife. Go and see if he is back."

There was a little oppression in her eyes. Even if Mrs. Jiang San was dissatisfied, she did not dare to refuse. She could only look at He Ze who was smiling with resentment. Fu Wu Fu left. As soon as she left, He Ze suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. She only felt that the third wife of the Jiang family made her feel a little scared, as if she was staring at a piece of fat. Now that she had left, he felt a little more comfortable and had a drink of tea on the side with peace of mind.

While he was drinking tea, the maid next to the old lady had already gone to Yanning's house to report the news.

"Girl, someone has come to the palace. It's Lord He, who said he would like to ask the girl for a letter you sent to the prince a few days ago." Fu Dong heard the old lady's maid and invited her to have some snacks on the side. When he entered Yan Ning's boudoir, he saw Yan Ning sitting in front of the window, with a bit of sorrow and trance on her charming and fair face.

After serving Yan Ning for a long time, she could naturally see Yan Ning's concern. But even though this concern was shocking, Fu Dong could only feel sorry for her own girl. She felt very sad, but she didn't know how to persuade Yan Ning, so she could only smile and say to Yan Ning, "I remember that the girl wrote a lot every day before. After finally writing it, she gave it to the prince."

"Put it away." Yan Ning was stunned. He didn't expect He Ze to come to the door today. However, he paused, clenched his hands slightly and whispered, "Go to the warehouse."

"girl……"

"Let's reject the people from the royal palace in the future." Yan Ning withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyebrows and said softly, "We shouldn't have continued to entangle."
To be continued...
