Only once, when Nangong Wushuang had a severe fever, Chu Yi handed over the matter at hand to the deputy general and waited for a few days to stay with her. During those days, her heart was warm.
As for her daily living expenses, he gave her the best.
After getting along with each other for the past few years, she knew that Chu Yi was the kind of person with strong self-discipline. He usually had a cold temper. The people who waited on him were all men. There was not even a maid in the house, let alone a maid.
, he does all the trivial matters in daily life by himself, so the interpersonal relationships in the palace are very simple, and her life is also very simple.
Such a man is a special case among the nobles in the capital, and he doesn't have many opportunities to talk to her on weekdays.
It's just that every time he comes back, he will bring her some specialties from Beijing. In the past few years, she has eaten all the delicacies in Beijing without going out.
Every time the weather changed, he would send someone to bring her clothes and quilts despite his busy schedule.
Nangong Wushuang saw all these things and felt warm in her heart, but his face never had much expression. She always misunderstood that those things were what he often did.
But now that I think about it, if she really didn't exist in his heart at all, how could he do those things?
Strong joy arose in her heart, but it felt a little unreal.
She asked a silly question: "I'm just an orphan, and I can't help the prince in his great cause. What does the prince like about me?"
After hearing her question, Chu Yi pondered for a moment and then said softly: "I don't know what I like about you. It might be your blue eyes, or your kind and honest temperament, or it might be you.
He looked a little dazed."
When Chu Yi said this, Nangong Wushuang's face turned red.
Chu Yi said softly: "When I was very young, I saw the fights between the concubines in the palace, and I felt that the days of fighting were unfair to women. I have lived in Ningde for more than ten years.
, there are many simple people nearby. Because their families are poor, most of them are monogamous. I once saw a white-haired old man supporting an old woman with also white hair walking past Hetang, and I felt
They are very happy, and I also want to have someone who can accompany me as I grow old."
Nangong Wushuang didn't expect that he would have such thoughts, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Chu Yi said softly: "If I were not a prince, but just an ordinary commoner, I would prefer to live a simple life. But as a prince, and an extremely unpopular prince, if I keep standing there passively,
It is very possible that I will get into some trouble for no reason, and if I don't have the ability to protect myself, I will very likely die. I just want to live well and have a woman who likes me and loves me by my side."
Chu Yi spoke sincerely, and his words were not at all gorgeous. However, Nangong Wushuang felt very warm when she listened to them, which was better than any gorgeous words in the world. She raised her head slightly, and there was a touch of light in her eyes.
Touched, and besides, she was not heartless towards Chu Yi.
Chu Yi took her hand over again and said softly: "Wushuang, you have been by my side all these years, taking care of me in your own way. I can also see that you also have me in your heart."
