The wax from the red candle in the house slowly flows to the candlestick, and the candle flame flickers and jumps irregularly.The two confronting people remained motionless.

In the end, Lin Xiu chose to compromise.She put down the wine bottle, turned around and walked in front of Xiao Shu'an.Looking at this face with pity, anyone would be amazed by it.He stretched out his hand and gently wiped away the tears on his face with his thumb.

Xiao Shuan's tears that had stopped flowing again.Meeting Lin Xiu, Xiao Shu'an seemed to cry a lot.Originally, it was bearable, and it was no big deal.It's just that they are going to be divorced on their wedding night.

But when Lin Xiu wiped her tears, she felt that her grievance was suddenly magnified.It seems that he is the most pitiful person in the world at the moment.

"Don't cry, baby."

Lin Xiu's voice was unprecedentedly serious and gentle.At this moment, she actually had the urge to hold Xiao Shuan in her arms to comfort her.

But reason kept her from doing it, which was so strange.She and Xiao Shu'an are not yet familiar enough to comfort or cry in their arms.

Fortunately, Xiao Shu'an was also sensible and stopped crying.Lin Xiu took Xiao Shuan's hand and came to the table, and pushed her to sit down.He poured another bottle of wine for himself and Xiao Shu'an.

After drinking a glass of wine alone, Lin Xiucai began to speak, telling a polished story.

"When I was young, I was not what I am now. I was serious and serious when I was young, and I liked to pursue perfection in everything.

Once, in the academy, Master took all our children to play a game together, a competition.The Master divided all of us into two groups to compete in poetry.Which group finishes first, and which group of people will be taken to the spring outing the next day.

Some students finished writing very quickly, and the Master read their poems one by one.I dismiss them, although they write fast.But the handwriting is illegible.The poems he wrote have no connotation, and the quality is very low.But it's done for the sake of finishing.

But the other students don't care, what they think is that they can go to the spring outing tomorrow.As long as the writing is finished, the master will admit that it is a poem.There is no need to be too particular about the handwriting, as long as the master can understand it.Indeed, the Master did not ask for quality and handwriting.At the beginning, it was said that the speed of writing poems was compared.

But I am very noble.I disdain to write poems that make up the numbers.I thought that if you want to write, you must write the best, with connotation, and beautiful words and sentences.

All are written.I'm still writing poetry slowly and stroke by stroke.Finally, when I finished writing, the master said that I wrote the best, and my handwriting was also the most beautiful.I get compliments.But our group lost and failed to go to the spring outing.

In fact, I don't care about spring outings, it really doesn't matter to me.But after that, the students in our group ignored me.

Later I realized that I was only using the interests of others to fulfill my pursuit.This is very selfish behavior. "

Lin Xiu played with the wine bottle, recalling the past, and continued:

"Because of perfecting myself, I was praised by my master and showed my talents, which implicated a whole group of classmates and lost the opportunity of spring outing. Later, I gradually realized that it was right for them to ignore me.

I'm just perfecting myself. "

Xiao Shuan listened intently.Lin Xiu went further: "When I was in Taoxiang. Do you think the head of the village He took his wife and daughter to hide in the cellar with dignity? How to preserve their dignity?

Home, country, world.Only when there is a family can there be a country and a world.Shu An, a relative of the emperor, is not just a relative of the emperor.You are not only responsible for yourself, not only the royal family, but also the people of the state of Zhou, the country and the country.

You ask yourself, Zhou Guo has been fighting for years.Is it true that every war is inevitable?When you fight for dignity, integrity, and face.What is sacrificed?

It is the blood and lives of the soldiers.Those lives are sons of fathers, husbands of wives, and fathers of sons.It is Zhou's productivity.

In exchange for what?It is a sentence from people all over the world—the people of Zhou are fierce and brave.

Is it worth it? "

Xiao Shu'an bit her lip and didn't speak.For the first time, she felt that she seemed to be deeply guilty.

"But without fighting, can the common people be saved?" She asked unwillingly.

"Don't fight unnecessary wars." Lin Xiu replied: "Only by maintaining peace can we seek development. If there is peace, even if some interests are sacrificed, it is better than war. He hit.

But for those like the barbarians who can negotiate and form an alliance, why must they resolve it by force? "

"'However, Zhou Kingdom is the first to pay tribute to the barbarians. How should the other Central Plains countries view us?" Xiao Shu'an still couldn't get around.

"Tomorrow, when the princes and ministers know about this contract, do you know how many accusations and insults I will face?

Then why be afraid?

I won't be drowning in drool, and I won't be missing a piece of meat!Is the evaluation of others, the eyes of the world, so important?

Never mind!You just have to ask here! "

Lin Xiu patted herself on the chest: "Ask yourself if you have a clear conscience! If you have a clear conscience, what are you afraid of? I, Lin Xiu, signed this contract with a clear conscience. I did not betray the country, nor did I damage the dignity of the royal family.

What I got in exchange was five or ten years of peace in border areas like Taoxiang.They can no longer worry about being harassed by barbarians at night.Don't worry that your wife and children will be taken away.There is no need to worry about the little bit of food that has been obtained through a year of hard work being plundered.

Are these not worth the loss of a little bit of face for Zhou's royal family?

If a country does not put the interests of the people first.Sooner or later it will be overthrown.

I don't care what others say about me, or what history books say about me.It doesn't matter, these false names are worthless to me.At dawn, the common people can eat a full meal and sleep soundly. "

Lin Xiu's words broadened Xiao Shu'an's horizons.Only then did she realize that she was narrow-minded.Lin Xiu is a bird flying freely in the sky, and the direction of the heart is the direction.And I am a caged bird bound by morality and reputation, and I can never break free from the shackles.

Xiao Shu'an also drank a bottle of wine alone, as if to embolden himself.

"I'm sorry, it's my villainous heart."

Lin Xiu turned her head in surprise, she didn't expect Xiao Shu'an to apologize to herself.If there was a lot of resentment at the beginning, it had already disappeared when she got up to wipe Xiao Shuan's tears.

There are conceptual surprises between people and people, let alone modern people and ancient people.After calming down, she figured it out.

"It's okay to accept your apology." Lin Xiu said generously.

"That..." Xiao Shu'an felt a little uncomfortable, rubbing the wine bottle nervously with both hands.

"Huh?" Lin Xiu didn't know what else Xiao Shuan wanted to say.

"Can we break up with each other?" Xiao Shu'an said in a breath as if death was at home, and he was so nervous that he didn't dare to look at Lin Xiu.

"Pfft." Lin Xiu wanted to laugh, but held it back.She couldn't let Xiao Shu'an pass this so easily.

"I really don't want to get divorced?" Lin Xiu asked meanly.

Xiao Shu'an turned his head and did not answer.I just feel bored.She didn't want to make peace with Lin Xiu, but she couldn't explain why.Maybe it's just for Da Zhou.

"It's okay if you don't want to get divorced. Everyone is getting married for the first time, so they have no experience, and they don't speak lightly or seriously. As for me, I'm not a narrow-minded person. If you meet a few of my requirements, it's over." Lin Xiu took the opportunity price increase.

"What request?" Xiao Shu'an was too simple and thoughtless, so he didn't feel that Lin Xiu was bullying him at all.I just feel that I really wronged Lin Xiu today and should be punished.Whatever Lin Xiu asks her to do, as long as she can do it, she will do her best.

Fortunately, Lin Xiu was not too much, she gossiped, "What does your cousin Chen Yunjian have to do with you?"

Xiao Shu'an frowned in doubt, isn't Lin Xiu very smart, why did she become stupid again? "Cousin relationship?" Didn't you say it yourself?

"Tsk!" Lin Xiu said dissatisfied: "It's not about this relationship. Does he like you? Are you two childhood sweethearts or something?"

Xiao Shuan didn't understand until he was ignorant: "It's just my cousin. I've never had a marriage contract, and I don't have any feelings of love. Although we grew up together, it's just because the two of us are the only ones in the clan who are not much different in age."

"So, you don't like him?" Lin Xiu was a little happy in her heart, probably she just didn't want Xiao Shuan to like someone who was rude to her today.

"The love between men and women, no."

"But he likes you." Lin Xiu affirmed.

"He never told me, how do you know?"

Seeing Xiao Shuan's calmness, Lin Xiu believed that Xiao Shuan really didn't care about this cousin.

"During the toast at the banquet today, I don't know how sour his words were. What he said was that he was unhappy that you married me. It felt like he really wanted to punch me to death." Lin Xiu was still a little angry at the moment. , frowning nose curled his lips and hated this person.

"I don't know, tomorrow I will help you get justice." Lin Xiu was bullied because of herself.Xiao Shu'an felt that he could not sit idly by.

"That's not really necessary, but hehe." Lin Xiu smiled badly.

"how?"

"You have to name his ten shortcomings. Make me feel better." Lin Xiu's request was very nonsensical, but Xiao Shu'an did not refute it.She thought about it seriously.

"Hmm...he doesn't have good handwriting." Chen Yunjian was the one with the ugliest handwriting among them when she was young.

"My handwriting is not good-looking, is it?" Lin Xiu remembered her own handwriting, even though she traveled back and practiced hard.But after writing hard pen calligraphy for more than 20 years, it is difficult to change it.Up to now, she can't write very beautiful characters with a brush.

"No, your handwriting is much prettier than his." Xiao Shu'an had seen Lin Xiu's handwriting before, and it was much better than Chen Yunjian's.

"It doesn't count, this one doesn't count. Say it again." Lin Xiu cheated.

"Well, he...is timid, he is afraid of mice." Xiao Shu'an remembered that when we were young, we played together, a mouse scared Chen Yunjian, who usually called himself a tough big brother, and climbed up a tree. up.

"I'm also afraid...to say it again!" Lin Xiusheng has nothing to love, is this looking for something in common between her and Chen Yunjian?

Xiao Shuan smiled softly: "But it's different. He is afraid of mice, so he feels that... it hurts his image. If you are afraid of mice..." Xiao Shuan imagined this picture in his mind, unconsciously Laughed.

"so cute!"

This is the most naked double standard... Lin Xiu is convinced.

"Forget it, let's not talk about his shortcomings. Just tell me ten things that I am better than him to make me feel good." Lin Xiu changed his game.

"Well...you are smarter than him, free and easy than him, kinder than him, cuter than him, more knowledgeable than him, see farther than him, more knowledgeable than him, more knowledgeable than him He... is good-looking and funnier than him. And..."

Xiao Shuan counted on his fingers, there were already nine, and there was only one left.

"What else?" Lin Xiu was very satisfied with being praised.

"He knows how to eat better than him. Hahaha!" Xiao Shu'an played tricks on Lin Xiu in a rare way. Maybe it's because the relationship between the two has improved, which made Xiao Shu'an let down his guard.

"Can eat? This is also an advantage? Are you saying that I can eat!" Lin Xiu made a threatening gesture.

"No." Xiao Shu'an smiled shyly, and then said seriously: "He can eat, but he's actually quite cute."

Oh shit!This woman is so good at teasing!Lin Xiu felt her heart beat a few more times.If this continues, Lin Xiu will doubt her sexual orientation.

"Forgive you! I'll go take a bath, I'll change you when I'm done!" Lin Xiu ran away.

"Okay!" Xiao Shu'an replied obediently.

After taking a bath, Lin Xiu lay on the bed and waited for Xiao Shuan.Now that they already knew that Lin Xiu was a woman, the two of them did not share the bed, nor set up a cubicle.It is easy to be exposed by subordinates, and the risk is too great.

Just sleep together, nothing.The bed was big, Lin Xiu didn't mind.Xiao Shuan didn't mind either.

Just after warming up the quilt, Xiao Shu'an came back wearing a coat.Three thousand strands of hair hang behind her back.This was the first time Lin Xiu saw Xiao Shu'an without makeup.There are no straight clothes, and a scrupulous bun.Xiao Shuan softened a lot.

Xiao Shu'an was embarrassed by the look, so he quickly got into the quilt and lay down.

"Can this red candle not be extinguished overnight?" Lin Xiu asked with her head supported.

"Yes. The red candle is shining brightly in the Yinghua Hall, and a good marriage will come together for a hundred years. According to the rules, it cannot be extinguished."

"Hey, then I won't be able to fall asleep for a while." Lin Xiu fell asleep very slowly, and it was even more difficult to fall asleep when there was light. "Hey, I just discovered that you can not only look amazing, but also be very good-looking."

"Good?" Xiao Shu'an was embarrassed by what Lin Xiu said, a little shy, but he still chatted as naturally as possible.

"That's... you know it's the first time I saw you?" Lin Xiu asked suddenly.

"Yeah." Xiao Shu'an recalled. "I was drenched in the rain at the mouth of Linglong Valley, and you watched me from the top of the mountain."

"You know that I'm on the top of the mountain to see you?" Lin Xiu was surprised, she thought Xiao Shu'an didn't know.

"Well, I looked up and saw you. You were dressed in white."

"I did see you. But I didn't see anything clearly. But it was very strange. At that time, I imagined in my mind that your face should be stubborn and resolute. Later you entered the valley, and it was indeed. Your whole body is Tight, with his back straighter than a wooden board, he looks like a very boring person." Lin Xiu talked about her first impression of Xiao Shu'an with great interest.

"I'm bored?" Xiao Shu'an grabbed Hua Dian.

"Yeah, don't you think? A good girl, she always does things in a strict manner, full of family hatred and hatred, either killing or dying. How heavy, very boring!" Lin Xiu's answer has no desire to survive at all.

Xiao Shuan remained silent, savoring Lin Xiu's words carefully.It seems that I can't find any faults. I am really like this, boring.Compared to Lin Xiu, Xiao Shu'an even felt a little inferior.Lin Xiu can always solve very tedious and heavy things with ease.And myself, pressing myself out of breath can't solve anything.

"But later I found out that you are not always like this. In fact, you are quite gentle and cute." Lin Xiu comforted Xiao Shu'an again.

"Cute?" Xiao Shu'an didn't quite believe it, since the death of his father.No one praised her for being cute. Some said she was smart, stable, and capable.But no one ever said she was cute.

"Yes, you are very cute. For example, when you talked about your cousin's shortcomings and praised me just now, you were very cute. You also look good when you smile. She is a girl in her early twenties, how can there be Not cute. Being cute is innate, not being cute is just putting on airs." Lin Xiu said quite maturely.

"So, you're not a few years older than me, so you're cute too?" Xiao Shu'an asked Lin Xiu back.

"Of course! I'm super cute. Didn't you praise me for being cute several times just now?" Lin Xiu was not shy at all, and rather narcissistically thought she was cute.

Xiao Shu'an originally thought that Lin Xiu would refute, but he did not expect this person to admit so confidently.In her opinion, admitting that she is cute is an embarrassing thing.But Lin Xiu is always different, everything about her is real, not artificial.

"Well, you are really cute." Xiao Shuan said with a smile.

"I can change a lot. I can be cute, handsome, sloppy, or serious. I don't like to bind myself to any label. I think it's what it is. It's what it is. The most important thing is to be happy." Lin Xiu Narcissistic to shameless.

"Well! You can also feel good about yourself." Xiao Shuan couldn't help joking.

"What do you know? It's called self-confidence, don't you know!" Lin Xiu pointed Xiao Shu'an's nose.

Xiao Shu'an was so obedient that he didn't resist at all.

"Do you always indulge anyone like this?" Lin Xiu casually asked with some seriousness in her heart.

"No." Xiao Shu'an answered simply and briefly.

"Then who do you usually indulge?" Lin Xiu became interested.

Xiao Shuan pondered.In life, no one seems to dare to treat himself like this.If someone said this to herself... She imagined that she would probably cut off that person's hand.But for Lin Xiu, maybe because they are all girls, or maybe because of Lin Xiu's natural relaxation, she has a natural sense of closeness and trust.

It seemed that she never disliked anything Lin Xiu did to her.All feel reasonable.

"It seems to be only you."

Lin Xiu smiled, very satisfied with the answer. "Well, not bad. The little lady is very considerate and has given her husband the special treatment he deserves, and she will keep it in the future."

"Nonsense." Xiao Shu'an laughed.

"Isn't this easier and happier?" Lin Xiu asked suddenly.

"Huh?" Xiao Shu'an was puzzled.

"I know that as a princess, you have a heavy burden on your shoulders. You need to be dignified, stable, and royal. But in the future, when there are only two of us at home, you can let go of these. Simply be yourself Enough.

You can be coquettish, you can be willful, you can laugh, you can be childish, and you can be lazy to the point of no rules.I want you to take off the armor you put on yourself when it's just the two of us.You are just Xiao Shuan, a little girl in her early twenties. "Lin Xiu looked gentle and said seriously.

Xiao Shu'an felt his nose a little sore.No one has ever said such a thing to her since her father died.Not even the queen mother and the emperor's brother.It's not that they don't love themselves, it's just that they, like themselves, carry a heavy burden on their shoulders.

The survival of the empire suppressed the mother and son.From an innocent little girl, she suddenly turned into a mature, steady and persistent Princess Yong'an.

Now someone has seen through her hardships and told her that she doesn't have to be strong all the time.She really felt her nose sore.But she forcibly held back.You can't cry and cry again and again.After meeting Lin Xiu, she made up for the tears she had shed over the past ten years.

"But the burden on my shoulders doesn't allow me to relax." Xiao Shu'an said with some despair.

"Maybe it didn't work before. But now you have me, don't you?" Lin Xiu's words were extremely conceited.If anyone said such things, Xiao Shu'an reckoned that the most restrained thing he could do was to roll his eyes.

But Lin Xiu said this, and she was inexplicably convinced.

"You have been drenched in the rain for so long in Linglong Valley. It took so much effort to invite me to the state of Zhou, is it just to let me eat white rice and be a bad face? Take people's money. Besides, I not only took money from the state of Zhou , and married the only princess of Zhou State.

Wow, that Chen Yunjian is so jealous, crazy jealous!I have to do something practical.I will definitely, do my best, and die!

born!It's from the state of Zhou!Death is Zhou Guo's ghost! "Lin Xiu started to run the train with his mouth full of words as he spoke.

"Slick tongue! I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going to sleep!" Xiao Shu'an couldn't help laughing because of Lin Xiu's teasing, so he decided to go to bed in a peaceful mood.

Said to sleep and closed his eyes.Looking at this harmless face, Lin Xiu felt peaceful in her heart.She felt that she really loved Xiao Shu'an like a little sister, what a good child.So lovely!

"Good night!" Lin Xiu said softly.

"Good night." Xiao Shu'an said softly.

After a long time, Xiao Shu'an said softly: "Thank you." She knew that Lin Xiu could hear her.

Sure enough, Lin Xiu heard it. Without opening her eyes, she replied softly, "We're all one family, don't talk about two families." Then she rolled over and fell into a deep sleep.

As soon as Chen Shi arrived, the Prince Consort's Mansion became busy.Lan'er and Xiao Jiu were waiting at the door, waiting for Lin Xiu and Xiao Shu'an to get up.

Xiao Shu'an had actually woken up, but Lin Xiu hadn't woken up yet.She didn't dare to make any noise, for fear of disturbing Lin Xiu, so she just kept lying on the bed like this.He stared at Lin Xiu's sleeping face boredly.

Xiao Shu'an never dared to think about such a lazy morning.Open your eyes every day and start a busy day of government affairs.Never had such leisure time.Perhaps Lin Xiu's words had an effect last night, Xiao Shu'an was able to waste time with peace of mind.Just looking at Lin Xiu quietly.
