Chapter 994 The only person who will never let him down
“…”
Shang Ruyi understood immediately.
She was sold as a slave since she was a child, and later became a famous dancer in the two capitals. On the surface, she seems to have unlimited glory, but in fact everyone understands the hardships involved. If you have both parents, or there is a reliable person in the family, She wouldn't have fallen to this, and judging by her tone just now, she seemed quite angry at her "uncle and aunt".
She whispered: "Were you sold by your uncle and aunt?"
"Hmph!"
Lu Xiao snorted and continued to turn her face to the side. Shang Ruyi looked at her for a while, thought about it again, and said, "If your parents were still alive, they would be very distressed."
This sentence is neither comfort nor unnecessary pity, but Lu Xiao's heart trembled slightly.
She slowly turned her head to look at Shang Ruyi, the coldness in her eyes faded away, replaced by an unspeakable brokenness. After being silent for a long time, she whispered: "I heard that the princess also lost her father when she was young?"
Shang Ruyi nodded: "Yes."
"Then——"
"My uncle and aunt took care of me when I grew up."
"They must be very good to you."
Let's mention it again at this time As an "uncle and aunt", Lu Xiao didn't seem to be so harsh anymore. Shang Ruyi looked at her broken eyes and said as calmly as possible: "Yes, they have always been very good to me."
"Yes. How good?”
This question was very presumptuous. Even though Shang Ruyi had a good temper, he couldn't help but frown. But in a blink of an eye, he saw Lu Xiao's somewhat dazed expression, as if he didn't realize that Qin was offended by what he just said. The princess, on the other hand, fell into a deeper trance and said softly: "Is it like she is her own daughter?"
Shang Ruyi said: "Yes."
"..."
Luxiao was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "Actually, I have seen it a long time ago Come out, the princess is hurt.”
“Oh?”
"The princess has a gentle temperament, but is very decisive in dealing with things. You can tell at a glance that someone has treated you generously since you were a child, so that you are not afraid of making mistakes, because no matter what kind of wrong things you have done, people around you will be tolerant."< br>
“…”
After saying this, Shang Ruyi lost his mind for a while.
Of course she has long known her fortunes and misfortunes in the first half of her life. Although her parents died young, they loved her very much when they were alive. Even as a daughter, her father took her to travel around and see a lot of things. Guang; after the death of his parents, he was kicked out of his home and lived on the street, but his uncle and aunt took him in and pampered him until he grew up. As Lu Xiao said, her personality of not taking advantage of others was naturally the result of her father's pampering in the early days. However, under the influence of her uncle and aunt, if they did not treat her as her own, how could she be so wanton, and even "domineering" to the point of even getting married? Everyone has to make their own decisions.
Even after getting married, everyone from the parents-in-law to the husband are very tolerant of themselves regarding some of their actions.
It's no wonder that since she just saw her reluctant to say goodbye to her uncle and aunt, Lu Xiao's words have been somewhat arrogant. Maybe it's not necessarily jealousy, but she should be very envious of herself for being so lucky despite misfortune. .
Shang Ruyi smiled and said: "What you said is correct. But -"
She tilted her head and looked at Lu Xiao and said with a smile: "Even if there are no uncle, aunt and brother If you love me, I will love myself."
"Myself, love myself?"
"Yes," Shang Ruyi said with a smile, "Because only if you love yourself, you won't. Being let down.”
“…”
“It should be said that the only person in the world who will not let him down is himself.”
“…”
Hearing the last sentence, Lu Xiao seemed a little confused. She didn't know whether she understood it or not. After a while, she turned her face to the side again and remained silent without saying a word.
Shang Ruyi didn't say anything more. He just sat quietly in the carriage, listening to the rain hitting the carriage shed outside. The crackling sound somehow made people feel a little dazed after listening to it for a long time. Shang Ruyi squinted unknowingly. He opened his eyes.
While she was resting her eyes with her eyes closed, Lu Xiao lifted a corner of the curtain and looked outside for a while, and said, "Why did the princess only bring this few people with her?"
Shang Ruyi opened her eyes. Eyes: "Huh?"
Lu Xiao looked back at her with a dazed expression, and realized that she had interrupted her. She took a rest and suddenly looked a little apologetic, but Shang Ruyi had come to her senses and looked out from the corner of the window. She could only see Wuxue riding a horse and following the side of the carriage, but there were two people in front and behind the carriage. More than a dozen guards followed. These people were all personal guards assigned by the emperor from the palace. They were highly skilled in martial arts and could protect their safety on the road.
Shang Ruyi smiled and said, "Do you think there are fewer people?"
Luxiao said: "Isn't the princess going to relieve the crisis in Xiazhou?"
Shang Ruyi said with a smile: "Didn't I also say that I am not going to lead troops to fight. If you really give me a big army, I can Can’t direct.”
Looking at her incomprehensible look, Lu Xiao felt even more confused, but she also knew that Shang Ruyi must have her own plans, and she didn't tell her even after asking her several times, which meant that she definitely didn't plan to tell her. , I can only give up. She happened to be a little sleepy just now, so she simply closed her mouth and even closed her eyes, preparing to close her eyes and rest like Shang Ruyi.
Shang Ruyi smiled, closed his eyes and cheered up.
After more than half a month of driving in wind and rain, just when they were approaching Yanmen Pass, Ashina Zhuxie's troops also stationed themselves less than twenty miles north of Xiazhou.
In fact, starting from Yazhang, the headquarters of the Turks, if they had driven faster, they would have arrived at Xiazhou long ago. However, Ashina Zhuxie and his troops did not walk very fast. They stopped and walked as if they were out for fun, and the closer they got to Xiazhou. , he walked slower and slower, and he even stopped and stationed himself at the remaining distance, which surprised several of his trusted generals.
But in the face of everyone's questions, he just said: "Wait and see, Aunt Qiancheng has any new tricks."
Everyone couldn't help but frown when they heard this title. brow.
The Eastern and Western Turks have been divided for decades. Even before the split, their bloodline was not close to that of Princess Qiancheng. In Han Chinese terms, they could only be regarded as distant relatives. Aunt, besides, the two sides are still at war, so there is no need to mention this meager family relationship.
But Ashina Zhuxie only waved his hand: "Okay, you all can go down."
Everyone was speechless and could only exit the big tent.
When everyone left, Ashina Zhuxie also walked out of the big tent. He turned around and came to the door of another tent next to him. Before he opened the tent door, he heard a crisp sound coming from inside. Yes, a milky voice said: "Twist!"
Another gentle voice said with a smile: "What are you talking about."
"Twist!"< br>
“You, hehe.”
This laughter made Ashina Zhuxie's heart tremble, and the hand that was about to push open the tent door stopped in mid-air.
