"Queen... Actually we shouldn't meet alone. It's not good to be misunderstood."
"not good?"
Dongfang Lian chuckled lightly, "I have always wished you well, but you actually... do you really like Beichen Huali? Don't think I didn't see it, she doesn't have you in her heart at all."
"..."
Ouyang Xiu looked up, surprised, and confessed that as a person at that time, he once thought that Beichen Huali liked him, but after getting along with this woman for a long time, he knew that she had another love in her heart. So how did Dongfang Lian find out?
"When a woman looks at the man she likes, her eyes are different."
Dongfang Lian murmured.
"Is this the way you look at His Majesty?" Ouyang Xiu asked.
"..."
Dongfang Lian was silent for a moment, "Do you blame me?"
"I don't blame you. I want you to be happy, Lian'er. However, I hope you will be happier and not be affected by rumors. After all, the two of us have talked about getting married. If I delay in getting married, then what will happen in the hearts of the ministers?
Guess...maybe what we will be arranged into."
"I have no evil intentions in my heart, let them say whatever they want."
"But I'm not like you." Ouyang Xiu looked at her with sad eyes, "I want to get married. As long as I get married, I can remind myself that I am also a husband and can no longer be like before. I once thought,
I could never marry for the rest of my life, but now I feel there is no way to do it."
As long as he doesn't get married, he will have delusions. He will imagine that it is still possible for him to fall in love with Dongfang, even if she is already the noble queen of Huang Kingdom.
"But why is Beichen Huali? You should find a woman who really loves you, such as Zana."
"No, I can't be so selfish. We don't love each other, so it's fair. And Zana, if I marry her, I will be ashamed of her for the rest of my life, so I can't marry her. Even if I put a knife to my
I won’t marry you if it’s on your neck.”
"..."
Dongfang Lian shook his head and sighed, Ouyang Xiu, he is still so kind and considerate of others.
"Princess Zana is very sad. She has been drinking since you and Beichen Huali decided to get married."
"She will get better soon." Ouyang Xiu can be as hard-hearted as anyone, including Zana.
Only love for the East.
"This jade pendant was actually carved for us. It is a pair...but I have no chance to give it to you."
Ouyang Xiu suddenly pulled off the jade pendant she tied around her waist and put it in Dongfang Lian's hand. Dongfang Lian saw one word written on the jade pendant, love.
Ouyang Xiu took out another one from his arms. The jade pendant also had the words "Xiu" engraved on it.
Suddenly, Ouyang Xiu took the two jade pendants in his hands and shattered them with his internal power.
"there is none left."
The fragments of the jade pendant fell to the ground, making a slight sound. Ouyang Xiu felt that he had nothing more to say to Dongfang Lian, "Queen, please be your queen. From now on... don't show any care for Xiu."
"Do we have to be like this?"
Why did Ouyang Xiu change after returning from this trip?
"You're in love with him."
Ouyang Xiu smiled bitterly. He didn't want to say it at first. He always believed what Dongfang Lian said that she would never love any man again. She wanted to marry him because she just thought that he, Ouyang Xiu, was a man suitable for marriage and someone she could rely on.
However, she fell in love with Long Jingkuang. The way she looked at Long Jingkuang, he could also see that it was love.
