Chapter 499 No Such If
The twilight gradually became heavy, and the houses and shops on both sides of the river bank were lit up.The light was reflected on the sparkling river, twisting gently, and the air was still mixed with some food aromas floating over.

In such a background, Sun Tian looked at the backs of the two people sitting side by side by the river, and touched his nose in embarrassment.

To be honest, many times, he always forgot that their general is a girl.

Because she is more like an attractive man than most men, she is heart-wrenching and admirable.

Especially at this time, when she was with the princess.

The princess was full of affection and attachment to her, and her eyes seemed to want to embed their general's appearance into her eyes.

Sun Tian even had some doubts, did he get it wrong?The general was originally a real man, not a girl?

But... that day after she woke up from a serious injury, he obviously asked her face to face.The general also carefully asked if anyone else knew, and told him not to tell anyone.

This……

Sun Tian looked at Princess Huaizhen in the distance and slowly leaned her head on Xie Yuan's shoulder, the entanglement in her heart was reflected on her brows, and instantly twisted into twists, her mood was very complicated...

And here, Xie Yuan tilted the head of Princess Huaizhen's approaching side with his eyes, and did not move very cooperatively.

Princess Huaizhen felt very happy, and her heart was a little sweet, but when she thought that Xie Yuan cooperated so much because she had something to ask her, she felt so sad that she couldn't help it.

She tightened the hand holding Xie Yuan's arm, looked at the river and said:
"Did you know?... My mother's queen is a rare beauty. When she was young and beautiful, she was favored by her father. She became a queen and had a noble status. Later, she gave birth to a prince very smoothly and secured her throne.

She is rich, honored and favored, and everyone in the world will think that she is the most honorable and happiest woman in the world.

But it's not.

My mother once told me.She said that the most noble and happiest person in the world is not the queen, but the princess.A favored first-in-law princess has enough wealth and status, and enough backing to be willful.

You can choose a son-in-law you like, and force him to love me wholeheartedly, without having to compete with other women for favor.If you don't like it anymore, you can change it. "

Princess Huaizhen said, her bright almond eyes were full of sadness, and she continued:
"...And these are not something a queen can have. When she told me these things, her eyes were very gray, full of envy and sadness.

She also said, let me be the most honorable and happiest princess, and live out her happiness and self-willedness for her.

I think she's right.I've been here too.At least, before I met you, I was always willing to go with the wind and the rain. Except for the need to be careful in front of the father, I never had much scruples about others.

They don't like me and need to hold back.I don't like people, I hit and scold whenever I say, and I have never let myself be wronged. "

She said, raised her head, looked at Xie Yuan's side face, and said slowly:
"But after meeting you, everything is different."

Xie Yuandan's eyes flickered, but he didn't speak.

"Because I found that what the queen mother said, wealth, rights, status, and status can't really guarantee a person's success in everything. If you want wind and rain, you want rain. It's just that before, what I had was wealth and rights, and what I wanted was also what I wanted. It has always been wealth and power, and I didn’t want anything else... That’s why I feel that my life is happy.”

Xie Yuan moved his lips when he heard that, just about to say something.

Princess Huaizhen suddenly looked at her obsessively and asked:

"My son-in-law, if... I mean if..." She really didn't want to admit the fact that Xie Yuan was a girl, so she swallowed the words "You are a man" and asked directly,

"Would you and I be different?... Qin Se and Ming, a loving husband and wife?"

Xie Yuan looked at Princess Huaizhen's eyes full of hope and longing, as if in another world, there really was such a result that could make up for her regrets.

Xie Yuan withdrew his eyes and looked at the river, pursed his lips, and said with some emotion for a while:

"In the past, I also thought that it would be great if there was such an 'if'... Then Shen Liuzhen's position is mine. My relationship with my father is also closer. I am valued by him, and I have a lot to discuss and talk about.

My mother has no regrets, no panic, and will not carry a concubine for my father against her will. They can live a lifetime of love and affection.I don't have to run away from home, and I won't go to the battlefield..."

The more Xie Yuan said, his voice became smaller and smaller, and his eyes gradually blurred, but this confusion and sadness only lasted for a short moment.

She lowered her head and said decisively:

"I didn't think so anymore... If there is no such if, then there is no. There is no point in being entangled and regretting. It's better to live out the result you want based on my original appearance."

Princess Huaizhen looked at her side face, looked away in disappointment, and murmured for a while:

"You said it lightly, because the result you want is to be a general... how easy it is.

No matter how hard I try, I can't get the result I want. "

When Xie Yuan heard her say "but" and "how easy", he almost blurted out angrily:

You are a princess who is well-clothed and well-fed, and you have never tried hard.Know what is easy and what is hard? !
Have you ever been hungry?Have you ever been hurt?Do you know what it looks like after a battle, with corpses all over the field? !
But Xie Yuan held back and didn't say a word... She bit her lower lip, and impatiently turned her head to the side and stopped looking at her.

The sympathy and goodwill she had for Princess Huaizhen just now was completely wiped out again.

Princess Huaizhen was not happy when she saw that she had obviously lost her temper.So he raised his chin, wept aggrievedly, and said angrily:
"What? Did I say something wrong? What did I say wrong? I just want you... Isn't it difficult for you to be my real husband? If it's not difficult, you can kiss me now. "

Xie Yuan did not answer her words with a cold face, but just looked at the lake, and said patiently and coldly:
"It's getting dark, let's put the river lanterns on, let them go back, there are still many things to do."

Princess Huaizhen's rosy lips seemed to be covered with a lot of grievances, tears fell down "patter", and she didn't speak for a long time.

She cried like this for a while, then wiped away her tears, raised her hand and beckoned the palace servants behind to come forward and asked for the river lantern.

When the river lantern was brought, the wick had already been ignited.The pink lotus lamp leaves are illuminated transparently, and the reflected light is particularly beautiful.

Princess Huaizhen held the lamp carefully, held it out to Xie Yuan's eyes, and said:

"It's agreed, one person holds one side, and we put it down together."
