Chapter 497 I Have a Wish

Only Xie Yuan who was standing there stiffly was left in the room, and Princess Huaizhen who was crying with her head bowed...

Xie Yuan watched her cry, but he didn't know how to coax her. He just felt that he had something to ask, so he had to say something, so he said:
"It's a business matter for me, but it's a private matter for you... Song Guo is stable, can't you be a princess more securely?"

After hearing the first half of the sentence, Princess Huaizhen raised her head to look at her in the mirror, and cried even harder when she heard the second half of the sentence...

Xie Yuan stood where he was, pinching the memorial in his hand, a little at a loss.

When Shen Liuzhen started to cry, she never needed her to coax her.Thinking about it this way, Shen Liuzhen's fake crying was more reassuring.

And Princess Huaizhen always made her feel troublesome and uncomfortable, she just wanted to turn around and leave, but she was unwilling to delay the big event.

So he hesitated for a moment, walked over bravely, stood behind Princess Huaizhen, looked at her half-combed bun in the mirror, and said softly, half helplessly:

"Don't cry...I didn't do anything."

Princess Huaizhen saw her waist and clothes from the mirror, and cried bitterly.

Xie Yuan completely lost his patience, pursed his resolute lips, and said in a deep voice:

"...I'll come back another day." As he said that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Princess Huaizhen panicked, turned around immediately, and shouted angrily:
"You stop!"

Xie Yuan's boots stopped, and he turned around to look at her.

Princess Huaizhen stood up from her seat, a little urgent but elegant.Her unfinished bun, a strand of hair hanging from the side of her face, swayed slightly with the movement of her body, but it became a kind of decoration, with a kind of delicate beauty.

Xie Yuan watched her walk in front of him, her bright almond eyes were still tear-stained, stubborn but fragile, completely inconsistent with the shouting momentum just now.

The two looked at each other, Xie Yuan didn't move, but there was helplessness in his eyes.

Princess Huaizhen looked at her face carefully, and saw that although her complexion was not as healthy as before, her eyes were still radiant, so she said:
"You've lost a lot of weight, have you recovered from your injury?"

"It's okay, it's not completely healed, but it doesn't affect daily activities." Xie Yuan replied sternly.

Princess Huaizhen lowered her eyes, looked at Xie Yuan's waist, gritted her teeth, and shook her body slightly.

Another moment of silence.

Xie Yuan had no choice but to turn the topic to the real thing, saying:
"I heard from Shen Guozhu, thank you princess for helping me, thanks to you, the Ma family didn't frame me..."

Before she could say anything, Princess Huaizhen embraced her, wrapped her arms around her waist, put her face on her shoulders, and her arms became tighter and tighter.

Xie Yuan felt that the injured ribs were squeezed and hurt, so he squeezed his lips tightly to hold back, and choked back the words behind him.

Ever since she entered the military camp and had to force her own secret, even if it hurts, she no longer dares to cry out that it hurts.

Forbearance has become her habit.

She raised her hand and wanted to push Princess Huaizhen's arm away to let herself breathe, but just as she put her hand on Princess Huaizhen's forearm, Princess Huaizhen seemed to be crazy and hugged her tighter .

Xie Yuan finally let out a muffled snort in pain, and while pushing her away with all his strength, he said:

"Huaizhen...you are pressing my wound."

She was in so much pain that she didn't utter the word "princess", but the words sounded like fairy voices to Princess Huaizhen's ears.

Even if her arm hurts from Xie Yuan's grip, Xie Yuan just pushed her out.

Maybe this pain will turn into two black and purple spots on her arm in two days.

But she blushed with joy, lowered her head shyly, and said:

"It's the first time you call me that... I like it."

Xie Yuan looked at Princess Huaizhen with her head lowered, pursed her lips, and finally did not deny it, and said for a while:

"Huaizhen... I have something to help you. I can't see His Majesty. This memorial is not allowed by Ma Guogong, and I can't send it up. Can you show it to His Majesty for me?"

Princess Huaizhen was extremely happy at this time, looked up at her with a red face, and said proudly:

"If you want me to help you, what benefit do you give me?"

When Xie Yuan heard this, his eyes were full of impatience, and he thought to himself: I am so worried because of the country of your Liu family. I come to ask you for help, but you want to benefit from me instead?
But after getting along for such a long time, she has long understood that it is unreasonable to reason with Princess Huaizhen.

So she had no choice but to be patient and follow her words:

"Princess is honorable, what benefits can I give you?"

When Princess Huaizhen heard this, her almond eyes lit up with joy, like starlight, hiding the innocence of a little girl.

She turned around halfway, stretched out her hand to hold Xie Yuan's arm, and said happily:
"When I was young, I had a wish. I wanted to choose a son-in-law who would be envied by women all over the world. Let him accompany me to set off river lanterns, and go shopping on the same horse lovingly. Let's burn incense and worship together, thank Yuelao for giving Our fate. Let's have a drink together under the moon, and talk to each other..."

As she spoke, her joyful look was gradually replaced by sadness, her bright facial features also dimmed, her voice became softer and her confidence became weaker.

Xie Yuan looked sideways at her, and finally frowned softly...

At this time, Princess Huaizhen was not the arrogant and domineering princess, but a naive and ordinary little girl who had many beautiful imaginations about her married life.

Xie Yuan is not hard-hearted.

Moreover, what Princess Huaizhen said, she can understand.

Because when she was a child, she watched her parents come here so lovingly.

She has always felt that the love of her parents made her feel at ease and happy in life.

Until... because they had to have a son, they brought in another maid to be a concubine...

Xie Yuan withdrew his thoughts, and sincerely said softly to Princess Huaizhen:
"Princess, I'm sorry...because I..."

Princess Huaizhen was suddenly happy again, leaned her face up on her arm, looked at Xie Yuan's handsome eyebrows, and said:
"I don't want to hear sorry. You just need to accompany me to do these things again, and I will help you. Also... from now on, call me Huaizhen, and don't call me the princess."

Xie Yuan's lips moved, and he really wanted to say: What's the use of doing these fake things, why can't you find a man you like and fulfill your wish.

But these words, they have quarreled many times, and there was no result every time.

She couldn't understand Princess Huaizhen's stubbornness, and Princess Huaizhen didn't understand her reasoning either.

She lowered her head and looked at the memorial in her hand. After a moment of hesitation, she answered decisively and said softly:
"it is good."

……

……

On the way back from Si Yu's place, Shen Liuzhen kept thinking about a question.

If Ma Guogong is really looking for someone similar to Xie Yuan, what exactly are they looking for?
He will never be like him, wanting to be placed next to Princess Huaizhen, firstly to be an eyeliner, secondly to make Princess Huaizhen live a little better, and stop pestering Xie Yuan all the time.

Of course, the main thing is to put such a person beside Princess Huaizhen.
