Chapter 16: Liangzhou涼州

Now he was in Liangzhou, an easily defensible location, and no one could harm him. He was still the Crown Prince, and his father was still the Emperor.

如今自己處在易守難攻的涼州，沒有任何人能夠奈何得了自己，自己還是太子，父親還是皇帝。

It was just that their kingdom had shrunk, now only as large as Liangzhou.

只是自己的國家變小了，只有一個涼州那麽大。

However, this was only temporary, as there was a good chance they could rise again and unify the entire nation in the future.

但是這只是目前，以後自己有很大機會卷土重來，統一整個國家。

His life had been smooth sailing, but after coming to Liangzhou, he realized he had lost his heart. His body was in Liangzhou, but his heart was with her.

他的人生可以算得上一帆風順，可是來了涼州後，他才發現自己的心丢了，他身在涼州，可是心卻是在她身上。

When he left, he realized he cared for her and wanted to marry and spend a lifetime with her. At that moment, he knew he loved her. But when she refused to leave with him, he let go. However, at that time, he didn't understand what he was giving up or how dull and painful his days would be without her.

離開的時候他驚覺自己在意她，想要娶她，想要和她過一輩子，那個時候自己知道自己愛上了她，可是當她拒絕自己，拒絕和自己離開時，自己放手了，可是那個時候他并不明白自己放棄的是什麽，并不明白在後面的日子裏沒有她的相伴的日子裏自己會過得多麽地乏味，多麽地難受。

For the first time in his life, he understood what love was and experienced the taste of love. Yet, before he could savor the sweetness and beauty of love, all that remained were suffering, pain, and regret.

他的人生第一次知道什麽愛，第一次感受到愛的滋味，然而他還沒有感覺到愛的甜蜜和美好，就已經只剩下煎熬和痛楚以及悔恨。

He often reminisced about the time when she was by his side, recalling everything about her from start to finish.

他時常回憶自己身邊有她的時候，從頭到尾總結了有關于她的一切。

Coupled with the current situation, he gradually began to understand many things.

又加上目前的形勢，他也漸漸明白了很多事情。

Upon their first encounter, she claimed to like him, having fallen in love with him and vowed to marry no one else. But those words were disingenuous, for she spoke them so smoothly, passionately, and naturally. Only after experiencing love did he understand what it meant to love someone and how it should be expressed truly.

初見時，她說喜歡自己，愛上了自己，并且非自己不嫁這些話都是假的，因為每次說話時她說的是那麽的順暢，說的那麽動情，說的那麽自然，嘗過愛的滋味後，他才明白真正愛一個人該會有哪些表現？

All her actions had revealed the cold, hard truth: she had been putting on an act.

而她的所有表現都很現實地告訴了他：她是在做戲。

At that time, his father had already started rising to prominence, and perhaps she saw that he could benefit her future. The daughter of the Cui family was indeed exceptional.

那個時候，父親已經嶄露頭角，那個時候也許她就看出了自己很有可能對她的未來有所用處。

崔家的女兒果然很不一般。

When they met again, she was intelligent and strong-willed. That was the real her.

再見時她聰明堅強，那個她才是真正的她。

It was inevitable that she wouldn't want to leave with him. Why should she

不願和自己離開是必然的，她為什麽要和自己離開？

Leaving would mean staying with him in the small territory of Liangzhou, but in the New Dynasty, she could obtain so much more, far more than he could ever offer her.

離開了同自己在一起不過是守着小小一塊涼州，而在新王朝她能得到更多，遠比自己可以給她的更多，更多。
