Chapter 61: Drunken Dreams
The carriage swayed and swayed, and even though the cushions under it had been thickened three times, it still made my back ache, and my head was dizzy, as if my internal organs were about to be displaced—this carriage was said to be the best one that could be found in the entire White Cloud Valley, but it was still much inferior to the carriage in the palace, and it made my delicate body, which had been corrupted to the ground by the evil privileged class, unbearable.
However, after a short time of the carriage leaving, my mind was no longer on whether I was comfortable or not - the heralds sent by Kwong Xiqing and the soldiers of the Imperial City Army surrounded my carriage three layers inside and three layers outside, and taught me to lift the curtain and only see a piece of armor and dust.
As my personal bodyguard, Jiang Zhuo rode his horse by himself, alone in a corner that I could barely see, quite a little cold with me, even if I had the heart to explain to her, so far away, and in front of so many people, I couldn't speak.
I thought that after each other calmed down, I would discuss this family affair that fell from the sky...... might as well drag it out until the moment when he returned to Guanlan City, in King Ling's mansion, and officially received the holy decree.
After sending off the female official and the palace attendant, Yan Ke couldn't wait to pull me into the study - I could only look at Jiang Zhuo's back as he turned around without hesitation.
"Your Highness, this matter is quite strange!" After closing the door, Yan Ke took his hands and paced around the room, his brows furrowed, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.
"According to Aunt Ke's view, the imperial sister is the son of the emperor who marries the emperor, what do you want?" I thought about the elegant son I saw in Wendu Zechang that time, and how could I not connect him with my future partner.
――The only partner I have identified in this life is Jiang Zhuo.
Otherwise, whether it is male or female, beautiful or ugly, it has nothing to do with me.
"Your Highness, they are trying to weaken your power, and even blatantly install spies into the palace!" Yan Ke slapped his palm on the table angrily, and then turned into a sad face, "Fu Yunchong, this old fox is also ruthless, and he does not hesitate to use his eldest son as a bargaining chip, no wonder he is the most relied on henchman of that person." ”
"This family affair...... What if the king does not agree? Can they still force marriage! "I was also tainted by her worries, and I became uneasy.
"This ...... It is not only the royal decree to give marriage, but also the clear road of Zongzheng Temple, I am afraid that it will not be easy to shirk, if she is investigated for the crime of resisting the decree, it will be even more unfavorable to His Royal Highness! "I didn't expect even Yan Ke, who was obedient to me, to say this, which shows that this family affair is imperative.
"The king knows." I wanted to smile at her comfortingly, but I was bitter in my heart, and I couldn't laugh at all, so I simply stopped forcing myself, just nodded calmly, "Aunt Ke, rest assured, this king will take care of the overall situation." ”
"Your Highness has been wronged." Yan Ke patted the back of my hand with satisfaction, with a proud look of "my family has a girl who has just grown up".
As I watched her leave, I closed my eyes in exhaustion and threw myself into my chair - oh, at last I still can't escape such fate?
As a betrothed person, what qualifications do I have to pursue my beloved?
"Come on, this king wants to drink." Opening the door, I summoned a waiting attendant, and I whispered my command, thought about it, and told him to be careful not to alarm the others, and then let him go.
I heard that during the time I left, the little cicada had been sold because of a crime, and I vaguely guessed that he was a fine work placed next to me, with an ulterior purpose, but after all, it was the first person I saw in this world, and it was more or less sad...... If this happened in front of my eyes, I don't know if I would be merciful and couldn't help but intercede for him.
I don't know how Yan Ke noticed Xiao Cicada's flaws, and I don't know where he ended up after being sold, even if I asked Yan Ke, she just taught me not to worry about such a trivial matter, and refused to talk to me in detail, I don't think it will end well.
Kuang Xihan used to be weak and had a strange temper, most of the attendants around him did not stay for a long time, since the little cicada, there was no personal slave maid, Yan Ke had the intention to reassign me, but I refused-I dare not guarantee that these people will be implicated by me, but I really don't want to go through this powerless confusion again.
In a few moments, the eyed attendant cautiously sneaked into my room with a jug of wine.
I grabbed a small golden nude from the makeup box and gave it to him, and no one was allowed to come in to disturb it, so I poured a full glass of wine, and drank it all with my neck up.
Smacking and smacking his mouth, he didn't taste any spicy taste, but there was a rich sweetness lingering on the tip of his tongue, and it seemed that the little slippery head still didn't take the strongest burning knife as I instructed, but perfunctorily chose a kind of fruit wine with a low degree...... Maybe it's just a whim to drink to drown your sorrows, and when you calm down, you won't be so impulsive.
This body is already weak, although Wei Shu has removed all the toxins in my body, but it still needs to be carefully regulated, and it can't withstand the toss of alcoholism; No matter how cold and discouraged I am, I won't joke about my health.
However, no matter how low the content of this wine is, it can still be intoxicatingly aged, and most of the pot is down, my cheeks are already hot, and my eyes are no longer clear—otherwise, how could I see Jiang Zhuo standing in front of me with a worried face?
Doesn't she hate me and want to get as far away as possible?
How could it be here?
…… Oh, it must be that I was drunk, thinking about it day and night, and this is the hallucination.
If you can stay warm with her for a while, it would be good to fall asleep with the strength of wine.
Jiang Zhuo, Jiang Zhuo ...... "You know how much I like you."
This must be a dream.
In my dreams, I can hold her in my arms unscrupulously, I can touch her straight and handsome eyebrows, and even, I can kiss her soft and fragrant thin lips - that incredible touch, teaching people to fall into the clouds, lingering, not knowing what day or day.
Only in my dreams would she smile softly at me, caress my cheeks and sigh helplessly, and softly persuade: "I'm here." ”
I can't help but wonder: how good would this be if it were true?
"Jiang Zhuo, I don't want to marry any husband, you are the only person I want to marry." I hugged her waist and muttered.
"I'm not going to get married." She gently pushed me away, her good-looking brow furrowed, and she shook her head slightly, although her expression was as if it were unquestionable.
I couldn't help but be deflated and buried my head in her belly and was silent.
For a moment, I remembered that this was in a dream, and if it was a dream, did that mean...... Can I do whatever I want, do something I want to do on a daily basis, but have never dared to do?
Maybe it's because the wine strengthens people's courage, or maybe it's just that this desire has been suppressed for too long, and as long as it is so slightly provoked, it will be like a spark that burns all my reason.
I took a bite of the place where I buried my head, through the fabric, lightly and heavily; I felt the muscles between my teeth stiffen suddenly, and I was probably in pain.
Even though I thought it was a dream, I was reluctant to teach her a little pain, so I didn't try harder, but rubbed my cheek against that spot; That place did not relax, but became more and more tense - it seemed that it was really a very vivid dream.
But why can't I be taught to do so in my dreams?
Why can't she respond to my feelings in my dreams?
I reluctantly put my arms around her waist, climbed on her shoulders, approached her face, rubbed it gently, and asked almost pleadingly, "Then I'll marry you, okay?" ”
Money, status, fame, I don't want anything, as long as I can be with Jiang Zhuo.
So...... Can you, give me a chance - even if it's just a dream, I'm content.
Probably my obsession really played a role and changed the direction of the dream, Jiang Zhuo didn't push me away, nor did she shake her head to refuse.
She picked me up, put me in the soft bed, leaned over to remove my shoes and socks and coat for me, pulled the quilt again, and tucked the corners of the quilt around me, so gentle that I couldn't believe it.
Lying down with her strength, obediently wrapped in the quilt, I stared at her beautiful side face in a daze, for fear that in the blink of an eye, this dream would wake up, and the Jiang Zhuo in front of me, who was gentle and considerate to me, disappeared without a trace like a bubble phantom.
“…… Good. After taking care of it, she casually put down the curtain, turned around, and whispered.
As soon as I was excited, I hurriedly grabbed the hem of her clothes, and asked unrelentingly: "What do you mean by saying yes?" I don't understand. ”
She gently brushed my hand away, lifted my chin and dropped a feather kiss on my lips before the sour and lost love rushed in, and looked as if she had completed some solemn ritual, teaching me to move my heart, as if I had been scratched by that feather.
"I said, I will marry you," she curled the corners of her mouth slightly, and smiled softly and beautifully, "If Qing wants to marry, I will marry." ”
"Retractor?" I stuck out my little finger - naïve, but I just wanted to do it.
"Retractor." She shook her head, but she also accompanied me to be naïve, and the doting in her eyes taught me to fall into it......
At noon the next day, I woke up in the headache of a hangover, wiped my face, looked at the empty and cold room, buried my face in the pillow, and couldn't help laughing at myself, it was really just a dream.
If she is willing to marry me, I will not be happy, how can I be willing to refuse?
I'm afraid it's ...... She wouldn't give up.
