Lock Xin

The ray of sunlight on the pages of the book was extremely dazzling. Zi Xin moved his body slightly, but still felt a little bright. He slowly got up and walked to the window, and the small stones from the bracelet on his wrist hit together and made a crisp sound.The wide sleeves covered the slender knuckles, and the patterns on the corners were faintly delicate, but extremely plain.

Zi Xin's face fell under the sun, her fair and delicate skin was like a piece of natural jade, delicate and flawless.

He looked at the tender green branches and leaves that were close at hand, and couldn't help raising his arms and stretched out the window, but the branches were so far away that he couldn't touch them.Zi Xin pushed open the door sideways, and as soon as he stepped down the steps, he saw a familiar figure in the distance. Yeluning came to the room to visit him from time to time. Doesn't Yeluning need to discuss matters with the ministers?

"My lord, why are you here?" Zi Xin walked over to meet her. It was still some time before lunch, and the palace meeting should have just ended.

"Zixin doesn't want me to come?" Yeluning's face was slightly disappointed, and he realized that what he said was a little awkward just after he finished speaking, and he would never have been like this in the past.

"No." Zi Xin shook his head slightly, he just felt that Yeluning's appearance was a bit sudden.

"The weather is nice today, does Zixin want to go out for a walk?" Yeluning met Zixin outside the door for the first time, and it was not easy to persuade Zixin to leave the room. Could it be that Zixin is in such a mood today, he can't Let go of this great opportunity.

"I'll go with Zi Xin." Ye Luning grabbed Zi Xin's sleeve and turned to walk into the corridor.

"Aren't you going to waste the master's time?" Zi Xin paused. Yeluning has been coming back lately lately. He would rather Yeluning make up his time during the day, and resting too late at night is not good for his health. .

"Today is Zi Xin's birthday, and I will be by Zi Xin's side for the rest of the time." Yeluning smiled and shook his head, saying that he couldn't push it away, and it's okay to deal with other things another day.On the birthday of his beloved, how could he not be by his side.

"My birthday." Zi Xin froze for a moment, then paused.

"Isn't it? I asked the hidden guards to confirm several times." Yeluning was a little nervous. If he even got his beloved's birthday wrong, he would be embarrassing.

"It seems to be today." Zixin recalled his birth date recorded in the register. His biological mother was of low status, and no one even knew that the prince had been born. Later, someone reported to the emperor. When the emperor found him, he had already been there for several days. When he grew up, the emperor didn't care too much and directly took that day as his birthday.But Zixin still lived his original birthday in private.

"What does it seem like? Could it be that Zi Xin even forgot her own date of birth?" Ye Luning frowned slightly. Fortunately, he remembered correctly, otherwise the carefully selected gifts would have been wasted.

Zixin didn't bother to talk too much about the affairs of the palace with Yeluning, so she was silent for a while.

Yeluning took out the small and exquisite brocade box from his arms and brought it to Zi Xin, "This is my birthday gift for Zi Xin, Zi Xin should open it and have a look."

Zixin held it upside down in his hand. If it was from the Central Plains, it would probably be a jade pendant, but among the Xiongnu, he really couldn't guess what it was.

Zi Xin opened the brocade box, a string of pendants made of precious stones exuded dazzling brilliance under the sun, he raised his hand to pick it up and put it in his palm.

"Does Zi Xin like it?" Yeluning asked with a smile when he saw the undetectable joy in Zi Xin's eyebrows.

Zixin nodded. Although he didn't like pendants, it was Yeluning's wish after all. It took a lot of effort to find such a beautiful pendant, and he couldn't bear to refuse it.

Zixin wanted to put the pendant in her arms, but Yeluning stopped her with her hand, "You want to put it on for me yourself." The pendant is quite the same color as the bracelet, and it should look good together.

Yeluning didn't nod, he picked up the pendant and put it in his palm, "Zixin, I like you, I wish to treat you sincerely for the rest of my life, and never let you down." From the moment they first met many years ago, Zixin's figure was imprinted in Yeluning's heart, and it never dissipated.

Zixin listened to it many times, and even became a little numb, but today he looked at Yeluning's affectionate eyes, and his heart was touched a little bit, "This is the token of love from the Western Regions."

Yeluning nodded slowly, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, and he still did not let go of his raised palm.

"You could have tricked me into accepting it just now." Zixin felt a little scared in his heart, he squeezed his sleeves hard, but couldn't lift them up.

"I don't want to deceive Zixin, I want to watch Zixin respond to my feelings." Yeluning has already tricked Zixin to his side, but he sees the people around him getting more and more affectionate every day. It's not enough to ignore Zi Xin's attitude.Besides, he has a child now, he really hoped that Zixin could have some affection for him, and love the blood in his belly with him.

If Zi Xin ignored him, he didn't know how Zi Xin would treat the child.And in the future, when the child grows up, looking at Zi Xin's cold eyes, what kind of pain will it be.

"I'm sorry, I can't do it." Zi Xin said it with some difficulty, he knew that Ye Luning was very sad, but he could only care about Ye Luning, he really couldn't fall in love with him.

There was a trace of pain on Yeluning's face, and his beating heart gradually became cold. He looked at the person in front of him in despair, "Is it because Zi Xin didn't see my intention for you, or Zi Xin still hated me for hurting you, You never forgave me."

Yeluning stroked the red pillar beside him vigorously. He really tried his best, but he still couldn't change the people around him. Maybe he and Zi Xinben couldn't be together, and everything was just his extravagant wish.

Yeluning looked down at her flat stomach, sorry, my father failed to give you a warm home.

Before he was sure about Zixin's intentions, the child came at an untimely time, but he was not willing to kill the blood in his belly.

Zixin looked at Yeluning's painful expression, and felt a little pain in his heart. Yeluning treated him really well, cared for him every day, and even made him forget the pain in the past, mistakenly thinking that Yeluning was a good person originally, Never threatened him with Xiao Jin's life.

Perhaps Yeluning's intentions for him are true, but he is still unable to respond to Yeluning's feelings.

Zixin leaned over to pick up the pendant that had fallen on the ground, Yeluning held Zixin's wrist firmly, "Why didn't you lie to me just now." He would rather that Zixin lied to him, and he could continue with his heart full of joy and expectation. Go on, but he is really desperate now.

"You don't want to bully me, and I don't want to bully you either." Zixin couldn't see Yeluning's intentions for him, but pretended nothing happened to deceive Yeluning.

Yeluning leaned against the red pillar fiercely, and slowly slid down.

"Are you having abdominal pain again?" Zixin saw Yeluning's hand on his stomach, reaching out to caress his shoulder, and helped him to sit on the stone bench beside him.

Seeing the concern in Zi Xin's eyes, Ye Luning slightly ignited a glimmer of hope. They have only been together for a few months, and now it is a bit awkward to ask Zi Xin to respond to him, but if he takes his time, the child in his womb will Just can't wait.

"Does Zixin still hate me?" Yeluning asked knowingly, if Zixin hated him at all, she would never have cared so much about his body.

Zi Xin shook his head, how could he hate a person who cared about him.

"Will Zi Xin try to accept me?" Ye Luning looked into Zi Xin's eyes, feeling a little nervous in his heart. If Zi Xin rejected him, then he really couldn't continue.

Zixin lowered his head and pondered for a long time. When Yeluning was a little disappointed, he nodded slowly, "What if I can't fall in love with you?" He knew what Yeluning was referring to, but if he fell in love with you A man does have some difficulties, and he may not be able to do it.

"I will let you go on the day His Royal Highness ascends the throne." Yeluning said calmly, if Zi Xin cannot fall in love with him within five years, then it will be meaningless for him to keep Zi Xin for many years.

"That's not what I'm talking about, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you." Zi Xin didn't want Yeluning to waste so much time for him, maybe Yeluning hadn't married as a concubine, and her son and daughter would have married long ago.Even if he could fall in love with Yeluning, he couldn't give Yeluning all this.

"Then Zixin will try her best to fall in love with me." Yeluning's face was warm, and he stretched out his arms to hug Zixin.He didn't expect Zixin to be worried about this matter, maybe Zixin already has a little affection for him in his heart.

Seeing Yeluning's smile, Zi Xin swallowed back the words in her mouth, in all fairness, loving someone is not a matter of hard work.

"There is no reason to take back the birthday gift." Yeluning put the pendant in Zi Xin's hand on his neck. Although Zi Xin did not live up to what he expected, Zi Xin is willing to accept him. .

"Zi Xin looks really good in it." Yeluning looked at Zi Xin's extremely fair and beautiful face under the sun.

Zixin was a little embarrassed by Yeluning's look, and turned her body slightly.

"Today is Zi Xin's birthday, and I can agree to a request from Zi Xin." Yeluning stood up, held Zi Xin's fingertips and continued walking forward.

"Is everything okay?" Zixin asked.

Yeluning looked at the people around him with a nervous look on his face, Zi Xin asked to leave at this moment, he really didn't know how to respond.

"I want to write a letter to Xiaojin." Zixin's eyes were a little worried, and she didn't know what was going on with Xiaojin in the palace, and whether she could cope with her father's concubines. It's over, now Xiaojin can deal with it smoothly when facing it alone.

"Okay." Yeluning breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Zixin didn't touch his bottom line, everything would be easy.

"What kind of request did you think I would make just now?" Zi Xin looked at Yeluning's suddenly relaxed face, feeling a little curious in her heart.

Yeluning shook his head and didn't say anything, he couldn't let Zixin know what was on his mind, otherwise it was hard to guarantee that Zixin would say that.

"My lord, is it really okay to have some abdominal pain just now?" Zixin walked a few steps before remembering that Yeluning had been rubbing on her abdomen for several days, as if feeling a little uncomfortable.

"It's fine." Yeluning concealed it lightly, the imperial doctor had checked his pulse in the past few days, and everything was fine.
