[Lotus Lantern] Promise with one's body

Yang Chan turned her head and saw that the withered peach tree grew new branches at some time, and the new branches were covered with numerous peach blossoms, which were prosperous and gratifying.

Looking back at the dragon girl standing in the peach garden, her eyes stayed in the distance, she stood there motionless, only the spring breeze dragged her clothes and black hair, and the earrings swayed lightly.

The place where she was standing was not far away from her, but Yang Chan suddenly felt that she hadn't really seen the third princess whom she had known for more than 2000 years and thought she knew very well until this moment.

Probably, she thought, even the second brother who has the eyes of the sky doesn't really understand her, understand her.

"Third princess." Yang Chan suddenly wanted to ask a question.

Ao Cunxin turned her head to motion for her to ask.

"All these years, you have been banned from the West Sea, have you ever regretted... your original decision?" Peach blossoms fell rustlingly, covering her dress, with a heavy fragrance all over the place.

In fact, this question is very vague, what is regret?Regret taking the blame for Yang Jian?Or do you regret saving him by the West Sea?Still regret marrying him?

Yang Chan asked vaguely, but Ao Cunxin answered firmly.

"I haven't regretted any of my decisions," she said.

The fragrance of peach blossoms is scattered among the clear sleeves.

No turning back, no sadness, no regrets.At this moment, Yang Chan really saw "pride" in Ao Cunxin.

Yang Chan covered her eyes lightly, and looked behind Ao Cunxin with some deep meaning.

There, Yang Jian went and returned, standing quietly.

Ao Cunxin looked at the peach blossoms in full bloom, and remembered that the third brother had also asked this question back then.

He asked her: "Cun Xin, have you ever regretted it?"

At that time, she was still confined to the West Sea and he had just returned from learning scriptures. When he asked this question, the dragon girl who had been loved by her elders since childhood burst into tears.

Ao Yu gave up the pursuit of this answer in her tears, Yang Chan asked again today, she finally answered this question after looking at Burning Peach Blossom.

no regrets.

If you regret it, it is a complete denial of your infatuation back then.Yang Jian has already denied this feeling, why should she deny herself.

Yang Jian may not cherish her or love her, but she has to cherish herself back then.

That would be too pitiful.

She thought that she still felt sorry for that Ao Cunxin who loved Yang Jian fiercely and wholeheartedly, the Ao Cunxin who rescued Yang Jian by the West Sea, the girl who committed the law of heaven to save Yang Jian and could not return to the West Sea, and the one who gave up on herself at the end Everything must dominate Yang Jian's three princesses.

However, there is no such infatuated Ao Cunxin in this world who loves Yang Jian so much that he loses everything.

The infatuation is no longer there, so what can I do.

Seeing Yang Chan looking behind her, Long Nu also turned around, and Yang Jian stood there quietly.

Yang Jian is really a very handsome man. Hundreds of years of accumulation of the majesty of the gods in the heaven made his demeanor colder and his mind more unpredictable.At this moment, the peach branches were slanting, and he stood there quietly, as if he had blended into the painting.

Ao Cunxin thought to himself how much he had listened to just now, but then he thought about it, what would it matter if he had listened to it all.

"Second brother, what's the matter?" Yang Chan stood up and asked Yang Jian.

"Oh, I left the fan here." Yang Jian walked out from the still painting, went to Yang Chan and picked up the ink fan turned from three dragons on the table.

It was his magic weapon, so naturally he couldn't leave it easily.

Ao Cunxin turned around and said to Yang Chan: "Today is already a nuisance. I haven't gone to Donghai to see Sister Xinxin for a long time. If I don't go again, I'm afraid I'll be annoyed by her. So, Cunxin will leave first. Xihai, Cunxin will definitely sit down and wait."

Yang Chan originally wanted to keep her to say a few more words, then glanced at her second brother, sighed in her heart, and only politely said to Ao Cunxin, and waved away the magic circle in the peach forest, so that she could leave Huashan smoothly.

As soon as Ao Cunxin left, Yang Chan sat Shi Shiran next to Yang Jian, poured him a cup of tea, and teased her second brother with a smile: "Second brother, your excuse is really not very clever."

Yang Jian closed the fan with fingers one by one, and just smiled to himself when he heard this.

"Second brother went and came back, but for the third princess?" She lowered her head and asked softly.

Yang Jian was silent, just playing with the ink fan in his hand, and asked San ShengMu a question for a long time: "San Mei, do you still blame me for pressing you under Huashan Mountain? Your mother and child have been separated for more than ten years, and you can't get along with each other." See?"

"Second brother, why do you still ask this? Today, if I blame you for this again, I really don't deserve to be your sister."

"Third Sister, I treated you that way back then because I had no choice but to." Yang Jian closed his eyes and his voice was low, as if he had fallen into a tragic nightmare.

"Third Sister, I have done some things in my 2000-plus years of age. People have mixed reputations in the world, and I am worthy of all beings in the Three Realms. But only... I am sorry for the third princess and you."

Yang Jian was usually taciturn and thoughtful. Although Yang Chan was his own sister, due to various reasons in the past few hundred years, there were not many opportunities for the two of them to have such a long talk.Listening to him talking about this in such a sunny spring, I felt a sudden pain in my heart.

For all these years, he has been in such a cold and lonely heaven, in the increasingly quiet Zhenjun Palace, holding the past in his heart, dealing with the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother, for her, for the sake of all beings in the three realms, he has worked hard and pushed himself into a desperate situation .

But no one can say anything about his unrelenting depression and heartache.

Soaring ambitions are a bit sad, and how many people stay when friends meet.

In the bleak and eternal night, he looked around and found that when no one knew him, would he have the thought of not being able to hold on?

"Second brother, you didn't apologize to me." Yang Chan leaned her head on Yang Jian's shoulder, just like the two cuddling each other when their family was ruined when they were young.

"As for the third princess. She has never regretted everything she did for you back then. There is no fate between you two." Yang Chan said quietly.

"In any case, I failed her." Yang Jian said slowly, but there was a sigh hidden in his tone.

When he married her back then, he had too many motives, for the promise, for the kindness, for the anger with heaven, for the warm home he had always wanted in his heart, and for her infatuation.

The only thing he didn't consider was his own mind.

Does he love the three princesses?Not out of respect for a wife, but love her as a man loves a woman?He didn't dwell on it, but she was brooding about it.

The life after marriage is not good. The irony is that all the reasons that made him make up his mind to marry the third princess were crushed by reality in this marriage.

This marriage invalidated his promise, his love turned into hatred, it made Tianting see a big joke, and it also made his desire for a warm home a vain illusion.It even hurt Ao Cunxin's heart in the inevitable ending.

Looking back now, it seems that everything is wrong and nothing is right.It obviously started from the initial dream, but at the end, it was very unbearable.

"Second brother." Yang Chan raised her head and stood up straight, looking at Yang Jian: "This is not your fault alone."

At the beginning, Ao Cun was jealous and jealous, and only wanted to dominate Yang Jian, so he drove away Yang Jian's master, sister and all his good brothers.Later, things got worse, and even the newly born Xiaoyu adopted by Yang Jian was suspected of being his illegitimate daughter and abandoned in the countryside.

The rift between husband and wife deepens and eventually becomes irreparable.

In this thousand-year marriage, no one escapes unscathed, and no one is truly innocent.
