Jing Yuan never denied that he wanted that position.

But that was then, not now.

Besides, the deepest reason why he wanted that position was never based on his ambition, so when he has other things that he wants more, this position that maybe everyone in the world wants is just a position that can be used for him. It's just a tool to please someone he likes.

However, Jing Yuan also understands that even if he doesn't want that position now, he has done some things in the past, and these things will make most people think that he still covets that position - such as the eldest princess Yaoguang, or even Xiao Jining.

Jing Yuan knew very well that this was a thorn hanging between him and Xiao Jining that was difficult to remove, so neither he nor Xiao Jining would take the initiative to touch this thorn in front of the other party.

But it wasn't until he finished listening to what Xiao Jining and Yaoguang said that Jing Yuan suddenly realized that maybe it was just a thorn in his heart, Xiao Jining had never cared about these things - Xiao Jining knew that the Jing family had long planned for the throne, Knowing Jingyue's wolfish ambitions, he also knows how the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty view him, an emperor who has little real power under the "control" of the Jing family.

It's not that Xiao Jining doesn't understand, he understands everything, but he doesn't care about it at all.

In other words, Xiao Jining didn't care at all whether Jingyuan would take the throne from him, or Xiao Jining believed that he would protect him forever, so no matter what others said, he believed him enough.

But no matter what the reason is, it is enough to make Jingyuan ecstatic, and it is also enough to foster his true "wrongdoing heart".

And this kind of emotion reached its peak when he saw the young man walking fast and hastily, with his toes pointing straight in his direction, Xiao's eyes shining brightly, and his lips smilingly walking towards him.

It happened to be the same young man who was looking forward to seeing him, but when he was about to approach him, he deliberately slowed down, pretending to meet him by chance, and asked him: "General Jing, what a coincidence, are you on duty again tonight? "

Jing Yuan opened his lips, his voice was low and hoarse, as if he was suppressing a deep emotion, "...Yes, Your Majesty."

"Since we met, General Jing, I want to tell you something—" Xiao Jining walked to Jing Yuan's side.

The surrounding palace people were all used to the night tour between the emperor and General Jing, and they consciously slowed down their pace the moment Xiao Jining spoke, so that Xiao Jining and Jing Yuan could walk ahead and "whisper".

"General Jing, we all guessed wrong. Sister Yaoguang didn't go to Yipinlou because of Feng Yusheng." Xiao Jining still felt that it was very boring, and he must make Jing Yuan feel lost together with him, "She might also go to Yipinlou I listen to books, and I still want to listen to your books."

There was also a smile on the corners of Jingyuan's lips, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "Listen to my book?"

"That's right, didn't the storyteller tell your stories all the time?" Xiao Ji Ning felt that Feng Yusheng didn't tell Jing Yuan's story because he didn't pay enough.

Jing Yuan only said: "There are so many stories, it is impossible to tell them over and over again for a lifetime, besides, there is no story to tell about Weichen now."

Xiao Jining shook his head and said, "No, I think you will have stories to tell in the future."

You will ascend the throne in the future, and your legendary life will be known to all the people in the world.

However, Xiao Jining couldn't say these words now, but he turned around and looked up at Jing Yuan with a very serious and firm gaze.

Jing Yuan stopped in his tracks, looked back at Xiao Jining, and murmured softly: "Your Majesty..."

But Jing Yuan's voice was too low, Xiao Jining who turned around didn't hear it, he walked slowly in front: "By the way, General Jing, didn't you ask me what gift I want for my birthday a few days ago?"

Jing Yuan asked him: "Has Your Majesty already thought about what he wants?"

"Think it over." Xiao Jining didn't turn around, nor did he slow down, "I just thought about it today."

During the day today, it's not that Xiao Jining didn't listen to what Yaoguang said to him, he heard them all, and because of this, he felt sorry for Jingyuan - because Yaoguang used to like Jingyuan.

However, now she can wantonly smear the people she once liked for her own benefit.

"Actually, Sister Yaoguang came to see me today, and she told me a lot of bad things about you." Xiao Jining frowned, pursed his lips and said displeasedly, "She liked you before, but now she is like this... oh! Talking to you, I forgot to call myself 'Zhen' again..."

Xiao Jining would forget to call himself "Zhen" when he was nervous, if he hadn't said the word "I" himself, Xiao Jining wouldn't even be aware of his nervousness.

Because he didn't know what he was nervous about, obviously he was feeling sorry for Jing Yuan.

What makes Xiao Jining sad is that at the moment when Yaoguang said many bad things about Jingyuan, Xiao Jining suddenly discovered that for so many years, no matter what Yaoguang's attitude towards Jingyuan is now, she is actually the only one who has liked Jingyuan. people.

Except for her, Xiao Jining had never seen anyone who loved him by Jing Yuan's side.

This "love" not only refers to the affection between men and women, but also includes family affection and friendship, but no matter what kind of affection, Jingyuan does not have it.

He has no friends, no lover, no relatives.

From this point of view, Jing Yuan is much worse than him. At least he still has two older brothers, the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince, who he can talk to. The relationship between Li Yihui and Li Yihui is pretty good, he can be regarded as a friend, even Mu Kui and Xiao Jining have always treated him as a friend.

And around Jing Yuan, the closest thing to him is always only his own shadow.

As the saying goes: Once you reach the ninth five, the six family members will never be loved.

Jing Yuan is not the emperor, but he has lost all his family.

Xiao Dan once told him that the author of "Jing Yuan Lu" only wrote about Jing Yuan's ascension to the throne, and the author did not write anything about the subsequent stories.

People who have seen the ending are full of admiration for this ending, some are sorry, some are amazed, calling it an excellent blank space.

If Xiao Jining hadn't personally sat in this position, maybe he would never understand why, but today, he suddenly understood a little bit - because he couldn't write.

Once you sit in this position, true love is as hard to touch as the moon and stars, only loneliness is at your fingertips.

Therefore, Xiao Jining hoped that before Jingyuan ascended the throne, he could have a relationship that could truly abandon all interests and not ask for anything in return, but simply wanted to be nice to him.

However, if he expresses his thoughts bluntly according to the original sentence, Xiao Jining will feel very embarrassed, and he is also afraid that Jing Yuan will feel embarrassed when he hears this, so he can only put it in a more euphemistic way: "General Jing, I don't know if you are still Do you remember, it seems that when I was ten years old, I asked you a question."

"At that time I asked you, when do you plan to start a family, is there anyone you like..." Xiao Jining is really nervous now, and he is still a little shy, so he simply gave up calling himself "Zhen", "But Then after I finished asking, you got angry."

Jing Yuan said: "I remember."

How could Jingyuan forget this matter?

Not only did he not forget, he still remembers it very clearly, in fact he remembers everyone who asked him this question, and he was angry back then because he hadn't fallen in love with Xiao Jining yet, so this question became salt to his wounds , stinging him, making him unforgettable.

Hearing the words, the boy's footsteps slowed down a bit, as softly as his voice: "Then...if I ask you again now, will you be angry?"

Looking at the back of the young man walking in front of him, Jing Yuan raised the corners of his lips and said softly: "I won't be angry."

Xiao Jining deeply remembered Jing Yuan's angry appearance at that time, so he was very careful in asking this time.It wasn't until Jing Yuan gave him an affirmative answer that he suddenly turned his head to look at Jing Yuan, and asked him again: "Really?"

Jing Yuan smiled, he was always very patient when talking to Xiao Jining, and he didn't mind repeating boring and meaningless conversations with him over and over again, coaxing Xiao Jining: "Your Majesty, when did this humble minister lie to you?"

Xiao Jining immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Because the birthday gift I want is to hope that you, General Jing, can have someone who really likes you. It's best that you like him too. You two are in love with each other." Xiao Jining also specially said Emphasized, "It's the person who really likes you, not the person you really like."

But just after saying this, Xiao Jining frowned and thought for a while and felt that his statement might be a bit harsh, so he comforted Jing Yuan and said: "Of course, it would be great if you also have someone you like, like you, General Jing. Good people, the people you like will definitely like you too."

As soon as the young man's voice fell, Jing Yuan's pupils suddenly froze, and there was no light in his dark and deep eyes, but the entire figure of the young man was reflected.He clenched his hand hanging by his side, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, closed his eyes after a while, and sneered in a hoarse voice: "Then you may be disappointed, Your Majesty."

Jing Yuan often smiles in front of him, but Xiao Jining can see that Jing Yuan rarely has a smile that is genuine because of happiness, so he very much hopes that more smiles on Jing Yuan's face are caused by happiness and joy laugh.

As a result, Jing Yuan's smile was really hearty now, but Xiao Jining was stunned by what he said, and asked him puzzledly: "Why?"

Jing Yuan opened his eyes, looked deeply at Xiao Jining, and said to him: "Your Majesty, I actually have someone I like, and I have liked him for a long, long time."

But Jing Yuan's answer stunned Xiao Jining even more.

It even made him beat chaotically because of nervousness, and his heart stopped suddenly—Xiao Jining looked at Jing Yuan blankly, and his mind went blank the moment he said that he had someone he liked.

It seemed that it took a long time for Xiao Jining to feel that his heart was still beating, and his thoughts gradually returned. He opened his lips to speak, but knowing that his own voice was heard in his ears, Xiao Jining knew that he was talking.

He asked Jingyuan: "You, you already have someone you like?"

Jing Yuan lowered his head, looked down at Xiao Jining's eyes, and said firmly: "Yes."

"And... have you liked him for a long time?" Xiao Jining stared at Jing Yuan in a daze, his voice trembled strangely, and finally even his body trembled slightly.

Jing Yuan nodded again: "Yes, it's been a long time."

And Jing Yuan's answer without any hesitation made Xiao Jining suddenly feel a little sad.

Originally, he was very sad when he heard Yaoguang say bad things about Jingyuan today, but now what Jingyuan said was clearly what he wanted Jingyuan to have. sad.
