Tomorrow would be GongYimo's 18th birthday.
Gong Dai watched as GongYimo half-knelt on the grass to wash her face. The gurgling water was very shallow and very clear. Under the sunlight, the sparkling water splashed and sparkled. It was a different kind of seductive sight.
At this time, Gong Dai's private army had already taken another route from Lou Ye back to Xi Zhou. There were only about a hundred of them walking on the grassland. It would probably take another two or three days before they could leave Lou Ye.
This made Gong Dai feel a little troubled. How could he celebrate Royal Sister's birthday in this place where there were no villages or shops?
Gong Dai grew up under the influence of GongYimo. Naturally, he also understood that it was different from what his teachers taught him. There were many men who got married at the age of 12. However, in Royal Sister's mind, it seemed that one would only be considered an adult at the age of 18. Gong Dai calculated. He would be 18 in half a year, so he would be considered an adult, right?
However, he had prepared a birthday gift, and Royal Sister would definitely like it!
At night, a group of people began to set up camp.
Unlike winter, although Lou Ye also had a kang bed, the thing that they used to make fires was very special. It burned animal feces for warmth. Although it made the best use of everything, it also made the house smell very strange. Fortunately, the palace did not have such a smell. It had to be said that whether it was Lou Ye or Yuheng, they were all trying their best to become Chinese. Perhaps one day in the future, someone would unify the four countries? GongYimo smiled.
However, if one wanted to unify the four countries, it was usually through war. She probably would not be able to see it in her lifetime.
The sky darkened. The stars on the grassland lit up one by one. There was still a trace of orange and purple on the horizon that had not faded. There were already stars above her head.
GongYimo lay on the grass with her arms and legs spread out. It was really comfortable to lie like this after eating.
Gong Dai sat beside her. In the end, he couldn't dissuade GongYimo and lay down as well.
The hundred-odd Imperial Army soldiers were definitely doing what they were supposed to do. They didn't even dare to look over here. Furthermore, the grass was a little tall. From the angle where they were lying down and setting up camp, they really couldn't see what they were doing.
GongYimo chuckled when she saw Gong Dai's uneasiness.
Ever since he was young, Gong Dai loved cleanliness. Lying on the ground like this was actually a very difficult thing for him, right? Don't you think it's cool and comfortable?
Gong Dai turned his head and saw GongYimo snickering. It had been like this since they were young. As long as he felt uncomfortable, the Royal Sister would be happy.
Thinking of this, his handsome face became even more helpless. Looking into his eyes, there was an indescribable doting. The light from the fire shone from afar. Their vision wasn't very clear, but they were very close. Their breaths were almost intertwined.
Gong Yi Mo used the starlight and firelight to look at him. She only felt that in such a blurry state, Gong Jue's sharp aura had diminished a lot. He looked more handsome, and his coldness retreated, making him appear very gentle.
"What's wrong?" Being stared at by GongYimo like this, he was actually a little embarrassed. That special voice came out from his thin lips. Hearing it in this kind of night, it was especially seductive.
GongYimo smiled but didn't say anything. The more she looked at Gong Dai, the more she felt that he was very good now. Beautiful eyes, a high nose, and thin but stylish lips.
But the knot in her heart couldn't be untied.
Thinking about it, Gong Dai was quite wronged. He actually had to pay for something he didn't do in this life. But … who asked the person she met in both lives to be Gong Dai?
Feeling Gong Dai holding her hand and asking again, GongYimo smiled and said.
"I read a little fable when I was young. Do you want to hear it?"
Gong Dai was stunned. Then, he moved closer to her, indicating that he was willing to listen. When he was young, GongYimo would always teach him some principles through stories she read in books. Even if she didn't have any experience, who would say that she didn't do well?
GongYimo thought for a while and said, "There was a woman who wanted to jump into a river.
Then, a boatman saw her and hurriedly rowed the boat over to ask for the reason … The woman said that she came here on a boat three years ago. She married a good man and thought that she would live a happy life. In the end, she found out that she was used by her husband. After being used, she was persecuted by his concubine and was abandoned. In a short three years, she had nothing. In grief, she wanted to end her life. "
When GongYimo said this, she spoke very slowly. Her eyes were staring blankly at the sky. The emotions in her eyes made the sensitive Gong Dai frown slightly. He suddenly felt that what she was going to say was very important to him!
GongYimo continued, "After the boatman heard this, he didn't say a word. He only let the woman get on the boat. He took the woman around the lake and sent her ashore. The woman didn't understand. The boatman smiled and said," Now you have returned to three years ago when you first came here. You also have nothing. But if you continue to live, you will have a lot. "
This was originally an inspiring prophecy. The meaning of its spread was to guide people to let go of their pain and find happiness.
For some reason, when GongYimo finished this story, her expression was slightly perplexed. Then, she asked, "The story ends here. But what do you think will happen to the woman after she is sent back?"
Gong Dai's heart suddenly trembled. He suddenly felt that this story was very likely to be the deepest knot in Royal Sister's heart.
But why?
Gong Dai was deep in thought. GongYimo said again.
"Do you think she will listen to the old man and let go of everything. Nothing happened back then and start anew? Or will she wait for the old man to leave and continue to seek death?"
If it was in the past, Gong Dai would definitely say that the woman would die.
Because many things, many happiness, after obtaining them, were bloody exposed and told that it was all an illusion. The truth was that she was used and then abandoned. How could that kind of pain be erased with just a few words?
After all, the deeper the love, the deeper the hatred!
Not to mention other things, even if the woman really returned to three years ago, it was still a question whether her scarred heart could hold on.
So, he felt that the woman would definitely die. If she could get over it so easily, she wouldn't have appeared by the lake to seek death.
But … Why would Royal Sister suddenly ask this question? What if the woman was Royal Sister?
… A strong person like her would definitely not seek death. But, how would she continue to live?
A faint light flashed in his mind. But before he could grasp it, GongYimo shook his hand and asked.
"You haven't answered me."
Looking at the beautiful face in front of him, Gong Dai unexpectedly said, "Since there is a chance to start anew, then it must be anew. Maybe the boatman was really a deity and allowed her to return to three years ago?"
GongYimo heard this and thought for a while. She suddenly turned around and leaned closer to him. She looked seriously into Gong Dai's eyes and finally said.
"Gong Dai, you're lying to me."
