When Liu'er behind the fence heard this, her heart almost jumped out of her mouth.
She looked at the Xian Wang nervously, trembling slightly, expecting his answer.
The wise king's face darkened slightly.
He didn't know Liu'er's feelings for him, but he only had Xiaoyue in his heart.
He doesn't love Liu'er at all and only treats Liu'er as his sister.
It would be unfair to Liu'er if she married Liu'er just to deal with her father.
He said coldly: "Mother, I only treat Liu'er as my younger sister. She and I are not suitable."
Hearing this, Liu'er's heart felt cold.
She bit her lip in discomfort, her eyes already turning red.
Yun Ruoyue quickly held her hand and looked at her worriedly.
At this time, Concubine Jing said: "Liu Yun, don't you have a very good relationship with Liu'er? You don't like to talk to other women, but you like to teach her to read, which shows that you have her in your heart. Are you still
Are you trying to get into trouble? Don't miss out on your true destiny because of a woman you will never get."
"Mother, Xiaoyue is my savior, and Liu'er is her sister. Of course I have to take good care of Liu'er for her. But I only have brother-sister feelings for Liu'er, and I have no other feelings."
Having said this, he added, "Liu'er and I are really not suitable, and I don't want to delay her. I only regard her as a friend, and I can't marry her."
"But the emperor is very anxious. Since you have a good impression of Liu'er anyway, why don't you just marry her to deal with the emperor?" Concubine Jing said anxiously.
"I married Liu'er to deal with my father, so who have I become? Is this fair to Liu'er?" the wise king said coldly.
Concubine Jing said: "Emotions can be cultivated. There are so many couples in the world who have never met each other before marriage. How can they not live a happy life? You can treat Liu'er as a friend, and you can slowly develop a relationship with her, etc.
If you have a child, maybe you will fall in love with her."
The wise king shook his head helplessly, "Concubine, no matter what you say, I will never marry Liu'er. This matter ends here. If you force me again, I would rather not marry for the rest of my life."
He doesn't want to develop a relationship with Liu'er, he only cares about the feeling of love at first sight.
The scene where he and Xiao Yue met flashed through his mind. At that time, although Xiao Yue was disguised as a man, his heart was beating fast when he faced her.
This is completely different from the feeling towards Liu'er.
"My lord, do you hate me so much? You would rather never marry than want me?" At this time, Yun Ruoliu's sad and angry voice came from behind the fence.
Immediately afterwards, she ran to the wise king in tears and looked at him with tearful eyes.
Yun Ruoyue hurriedly followed and comforted: "Liu'er, don't be sad, you can't force emotional matters. You and the prince have no fate. I believe your fate must be waiting for you somewhere, and you will definitely find it."
"
As she spoke, she reached out and touched Yun Ruoliu's shoulders.
Yun Ruoliu said sadly: "Sister, do you know? I envy you so much. I know that King Xian has always liked you. A person like me is not worthy of him at all. I shouldn't have wishful thinking!"
Yun Ruoyue was slightly startled, it turned out that Liu'er already knew about this.
The wise king immediately said: "Liu'er, I'm sorry, I have always regarded you as my sister, so I can't marry you!"
"Sister?" Liu'er cried, "How can anyone be so kind to a sister who is not related by blood? Don't you treat me well because you like me? Are your gentleness and patience towards me all fake?"
The wise king said helplessly: "Because you are Xiaoyue's sister, of course I must take good care of you. I'm sorry, it was my lack of consideration that caused you to misunderstand before. I will never do this again!"
If he had known that Liu'er had such a deep misunderstanding, he should not have taught her to read.
Hearing the decisive words of the wise king, Liu'er's heart felt like a knife.
She looked at him painfully, "So you are nice to me because of my sister. If you didn't have my sister, you wouldn't even look at me, right?"
"Everyone likes my sister, and I also want to become as good as my sister. So I study hard, read and read, hoping to become as good as my sister, and hope to be worthy of you. But I find that I can't
No matter how hard I try, I am not worthy of you. You are a high and mighty prince, and how can a person like me dare to hope to marry you?"
"Liu'er, don't belittle yourself. In fact, you are very smart, and you are gentle and kind. In fact, I am not as good as you think. I believe you will meet a better man than me." The wise king said sadly.
Liu'er shook her head uncomfortably, "No! You've always been good, it's just my wishful thinking. I should have known myself a long time ago and shouldn't expect things that don't belong to me!"
At this point, she sighed and said, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry to disturb you! Thank you for your concern and love for me all the time. I owe you too much and I can't even repay it. You don't have to feel sorry.
It’s me who should say sorry!”
"Concubine Jing, thank you for your kindness. You can't force me to be sweet. Please don't force the prince to marry anyone. My sister is right. You can't force emotional matters."
As she said that, she stared deeply at the wise king and said, "My lord, I wish you well and hope you can find a good match. Goodbye!"
Liu'er said, wiping her tears sadly, and ran outside.
"Liu'er!" Yun Ruoyue saw this and hurriedly chased after her.
"Liu'er!" King Xian also wanted to chase him, but Concubine Jing held him back.
Concubine Jing sighed and said: "Liu Yun, please stop chasing me. I know it! If you don't like Liu'er, don't be too nice to her and don't give her hope. The greater the hope, the greater her disappointment."
"I just didn't want others to bully her, so I taught her to read and write. I didn't expect that she would fall into such a deep trap." The wise king said helplessly.
Concubine Jing patted his shoulder, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, Concubine Mother should not have forced you to marry Liu Er. Concubine Mother caused this situation by herself. Concubine Mother was sorry for Liu Er. Concubine Mother will go to Prince Li's Mansion to apologize to her."
.”
She thought Liu Yun would marry her if she called Liu Er to Prince Xian's Mansion.
It turned out to be wishful thinking on her part.
Love cannot be forced.
But no one likes Liu Yun, so how can he get married within a month?
If he still hasn't decided after a month, the emperor will randomly point him to a wife, and he will be even more miserable by then.
-
After Yun Ruoyue chased out of Prince Xian's mansion, she saw Liu'er standing at the door crying uncomfortably.
She hurriedly walked over and patted her shoulder gently, "Liu'er, are you okay?"
"Sister." Liu'er cried and threw herself into Yun Ruoyue's arms, "Sister, my heart hurts so much! Am I so bad that the wise king doesn't like me?"
"No. Liu'er, you are excellent and beautiful. Everyone likes you very much." Yun Ruoyue comforted her.
