By the pond, Shu Zhihan and Princess Wenjing were looking at each other quietly, like two delicate flowers provoking each other in the breeze.
Shu Zhihan, wearing a pink dress, has a pair of clear and bright eyes embedded in her petite face. Her eyes are firm and courageous, like the ice in winter, tough and unyielding.
Princess Wenjing, wearing a gorgeous red dress, stood there elegantly. Her face was beautiful, her eyes were deep and wise, and her eyes revealed firm belief and endless tenderness.
The two of them stood there, no words communicating, only eye contact.
Shu Zhihan's eyes revealed her brave acceptance of the challenge, while Princess Wenjing's eyes seemed to express her position in silence.
Their gazes were like a silent battle, their hearts challenging and confronting each other.
The surrounding scenery seemed to be eclipsed by the two women's gaze.
Their reflections rippled on the water of the pond, as if the whole world was occupied by their eyes. Their gazes were like a war without smoke, silent but fierce.
Finally, Princess Wenjing smiled slightly, breaking the tense atmosphere.
"Presumably, you must be Shu Zhihan."
Shu Zhihan didn't expect that she actually knew his name. It seemed that she knew herself and the enemy.
She took a step forward and also showed a sweet smile, "It's me, but I don't know who you are?"
"Hello, I am Wen Jing. I just arrived in the border town today. I will live in this general's mansion from now on."
Hearing this, Shu Zhihan's heart skipped a beat, and for a moment she didn't understand what it meant.
At this moment, Luo Jinyu came over from a distance.
Luo Jinyu searched for Shu Zhihan everywhere in the palace, but there was no trace of her.
A trace of worry gradually appeared in his heart. After trying all possible places, he finally came to the pond, but unexpectedly saw Shu Zhihan and Princess Wenjing standing there.
They were standing by the pond and seemed to be talking in a low voice. Although he was some distance away from them, he could clearly see Shu Zhihan's elegant face and Princess Wenjing's gentle smile.
Luo Jinyu stood in the distance. Although he had some doubts in his heart, he quickly stepped forward.
When Princess Wenjing saw Luo Jinyu approaching, she took an elegant step forward, like a blooming flower swaying in the breeze. Her posture was smooth and natural, like a melody in a dance, graceful and charming.
At the same time, Shu Zhihan seemed to be frozen in place, with a look of surprise and confusion in her eyes.
Her heart suddenly seemed to be held by a hand, squeezing tightly, causing her heartbeat to lose its rhythm instantly.
She looked at Princess Wenjing's elegant posture, and her mind was in chaos. She couldn't understand what was going on.
Her eyes wandered back and forth between Princess Wenjing and Luo Jinyu. She saw Princess Wenjing's warm smile and saw her stretching out her slender arms towards Luo Jinyu like flowers welcoming spring.
An inexplicable emotion suddenly emerged from the depths of Shu Zhihan's heart. It was loss, doubt, and jealousy.
She didn't know what she should do, so she could only stay in place, looking at the two of them like the scenery in a painting, perfect and harmonious.
"Ziqing, you are here, are you here to see me?"
When she heard this title, Shu Zhihan's heart seemed to sink to the bottom of the lake for an instant, and she felt a little depressed and breathless.
What's this? Why she never knew.
Shu Zhihan watched her go up and hug Luo Jinyu's arm, feeling like a fire was burning in her heart, and she was indescribably unhappy.
She tried hard to control her emotions, but the feeling of being ignored and left out was almost unbearable.
Her hands were clenched into fists, and her nails dug deeply into her palms, causing a slight feeling of pain. She hoped to free herself from this uncomfortable emotion. She told herself to be calm and rational, not because of this. Things get out of control.
However
, but the dissatisfaction and jealousy in her heart grew like weeds and could not be suppressed.
She could feel her eyes burning, and the discomfort in her heart had reached its extreme.
She had to admit, she hated this feeling.
Shu Zhihan knew that the most important thing now was to regain her reason and calmness. She needed to find a way to release this emotion, otherwise she might be overwhelmed by this unpleasant emotion.
So, she took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. However, the unpleasant feeling still lingered in her heart and refused to go away.
Luo Jinyu tried to break free from Princess Wenjing's grasp, but his efforts seemed to be of no avail.
Princess Wenjing's hand tightly grasped his sleeve, like a vine in the cold winter, tenacious and persistent.
A flash of pain flashed across his face, a burning sensation coming from deep within his skin, as if freedom was tightly bound and dignity was ruthlessly deprived.
He tried his best to twist his arm, but found that Princess Wenjing's palm gripped him more firmly, like a cold iron chain, binding him firmly.
"Princess......"
Before Luo Jinyu could say anything, he saw Meng Haowen walking over hurriedly, "General, the Governor said he has something urgent to ask you."
Hearing this, Luo Jinyu glanced at Princess Wenjing, and then saw her quickly loosening her hands. He glanced in the direction of Shu Zhihan, but he didn't have time to explain anything to her, so he turned and left. .
Princess Wenjing looked at Luo Jinyu's leaving figure, her eyes shining with happiness.
She turned around and walked towards Shu Zhihan with a smile. Every step seemed to be carefully calculated, with provocation and a sign of victory.
On her face, the victorious smile was like the first spring water, half of the flowers were blooming, just like the first ray of sunshine in the morning shining on the earth, so bright and hot.
Her eyes moved from Luo Jinyu's back to Shu Zhihan. Her eyes were full of teasing and pride, as if she was watching a carefully designed puzzle about to be solved.
Princess Wenjing's smile caused ripples in Shu Zhihan's heart.
The smile revealed victory and confidence, but Shu Zhihan, like the prey about to be captured by the hunter, felt increasingly uneasy and fearful.
Shu Zhihan's eyes were full of doubts.
She looked at the woman. Her clothes were pressed against Luo Jinyu's body, but Luo Jinyu didn't resist.
Shu Zhihan's heart felt as if she had been pricked by a needle. She thought of her past with Luo Jinyu.
Those gentle hugs and sweet kisses all seemed fake now. Why would he allow other women to be so close to him? She couldn't understand.
Shu Zhihan's hands were clenched into fists, and her nails dug deeply into her flesh.
She didn't want to believe that this was the man she loved so much, the man who always protected her and made her feel safe, now at the mercy of another woman.
Her heart ached, but she didn't cry.
She just stood there, looking at the woman's smile, her heart full of doubts and pain. She didn't know what she should do, but she knew that she had to face this fact.
Shu Zhihan tried hard to recall that Luo Jinyu's voice echoed in her ears just now, as if she had called this woman "princess".
She couldn't help but look at this strange woman carefully.
This woman has a noble temperament and elegant manners. Although she wears simple clothes, it is difficult to conceal her luxury.
There is an innate arrogance between her eyebrows, like a snow lotus on the top of a mountain, aloof and beautiful.
Shu Zhihan was confused, who is this woman? Why did Luo Jinyu call her princess? She tried to find the answer on the woman's face, but she found no other clues except nobility and arrogance.
Shu Zhihan decided to ask this woman directly. She walked up and asked politely: "Are you a princess?"
The woman raised her head and glanced at Shu Zhihan. There was a trace of surprise in her eyes, and then
Then he smiled slightly and nodded.
Shu Zhihan was shocked. She didn't expect this woman to really admit it.
She searched hard in her mind, Princess Wenjing? Why does it seem like I haven’t heard of it?
Seeing the puzzled expression on her face, Princess Wenjing smiled and said, "It seems that you are very curious about me. It's okay. Just tell me. I will tell you everything you want to know. I will tell you everything I know."
Princess Wenjing said very grandly, and her expression at that moment made Shu Zhihan a little overwhelmed.
She said softly, with some nostalgia and emotion in her voice, "I have longed for life in the mountains since I was a child. There, I can breathe the fresh and natural air and feel the mystery and power of nature. I often imagine myself in the mountains. Take a stroll there, enjoy the beautiful scenery, listen to the songs of the birds, and soak up the sunshine and breeze.”
Shu Zhihan listened quietly. She could feel Princess Wenjing's yearning and love for life in the mountains. She imagined Princess Wenjing walking in the mountains. It must be a very beautiful picture.
"Later, because I was not in particularly good health, the Imperial Master suggested that my father allow me to go to the mountains to recuperate, so I have been in the mountains. It makes sense that you haven't heard of me.
Let me tell you, in the mountains, I feel an incomparable tranquility and serenity. Everything there is so harmonious and natural, which makes me feel my soul has been purified. "Princess Wenjing continued.
She seemed to suddenly realize that she had said too much, so she immediately held it back and said, "What, why should I tell you this, really.
However, what I can tell you is that in the past, Ziqing and I lived together in the mountains for a long time. "
"Ziqing?"
Shu Zhihan felt very unfamiliar with this name.
Princess Wenjing realized that she didn't seem to know the word Luo Jinyu, and she felt even more happy.
