Chapter 10 The River of Lights

Ye Zhaopei was stunned for a moment, and after almost understanding what Jiang Zhi meant, the flush instantly rose between her cheeks. She hesitated and asked, "Your Majesty, is this...... Order? ”

This time, Jiang Zhi was stunned. He looked at Ye Zhaopei with interest: "Is there any difference between orders?" ”

Ye Zhaopei said seriously: "If it is an order, then Zhaopei will not dare to disobey." If it weren't for the command...... Zhao Pei should have a chance to escape. ”

Jiang Zhi asked her, "Do you want to escape?" Is sleeping with me a very hard thing? ”

Ye Zhaopei was silent for a moment and shook his head very lightly.

Jiang Zhi slowly walked towards her, and said as he walked: "Zhao Pei, don't you know, since you are already my queen, then the two of us should sleep together?" It's not just about sleeping together, it's about doing something. After a pause, he continued, "Zhao Pei, do you know what I'm talking about? ”

Ye Zhaopei blushed and nodded very lightly.

Jiang Zhizheng was full of evil and wanted to continue teasing her, but he heard Ye Zhaopei say softly: "I secretly watched it before, and it's still ...... Learned. ”

Jiang Zhi looked at Ye Zhaopei in front of him, a little surprised in his heart.

Ye Zhaopei lowered his eyes and continued, "I have always wanted to serve the king. Whether it's helping you kill someone, or marrying you, I've thought about it. ”

It also includes lingering with Jiang Zhi on the pillow and growing old with him. Those are all Ye Zhaopei's dreams of life, and there is nothing else.

"Zhao Pei, are you hinting that I should kiss you?" Jiang Zhi asked her in a hoarse voice.

Ye Zhaopei raised his eyes to look at Jiang Zhi, but the latter took a step back and turned away: "There is still some time before the wedding day." ”

Jiang Zhi thinks that he is still a more traditional person, not too casual, and the same is true for Ye Zhaopei.

Understood what he meant, Ye Zhaopei said "um".

"By the way," Jiang Zhi said, "I'll send you to learn some etiquette later, right?" ”

When he spoke, he spoke in a more consultative tone, different from his previous commands.

Ye Zhaopei was a little puzzled, tilted his head and asked him, "Why do you want to learn that?" ”

Jiang Zhi said: "Most of the opinions of the civil and military officials on you are focused on the fact that you have never learned etiquette, and the queen of the East Corner Kingdom is not something that any kind of person can do. I say this, Zhao Pei, do you understand? ”

How could Ye Zhaopei not understand? What kind of country is this? Etiquette and music are the system, and they cannot be transgressed, especially the royal family.

At the beginning, Jiang Zhi sought power, which was not just, but he ordered Ye Zhaopei to kill all the relevant people who might hinder the future, and forcibly reversed the situation, allowing Jiang Zhi to sit firmly in the position of the king, and also stabilize the country in the east. But Ye Zhaopei wants to sit in the position of the queen, and of course this road cannot be paved with blood.

Ye Zhaopei frowned and did not speak.

In fact, she didn't have a good impression of Lile, and when she bled for Jiang Zhi and Jiangshan, those who so-called uphold justice and righteousness often called her "disrespectful of human morality", and her words were fierce, and she would occasionally be sad for a while. Now tell her to learn arithmetic?

"I know you don't really like those, but...... Indeed, I hope that if you marry me, you will have the support of everyone in the East Corner Kingdom, and that you will be recognized by them for sitting in the position of queen. Jiang Zhi looked at her.

He didn't want her to be uneasy.

For some reason, listening to him speak like this, Ye Zhaopei remembered the paper she saw on Jiang Zhi's desk. Her name was written all over the paper, and those images were reflected in her heart.

Ye Zhaopei thought in his heart, after all, it was Jiang Zhi......

She sighed very lightly and looked up at Jiang Zhi: "Your Majesty, I'll go." ”

Jiang Zhi was a little surprised. He hadn't thought it would be so easy to convince her. In the past, Jiang Zhi had always heard from the people below that Ye Zhaopei was stubborn, stubborn, and hated the flow of benevolence, righteousness and morality. He knew that everything was due to him, so he was also ready to speak patiently and slowly.

But Ye Zhaopei agreed like this, and it was impossible for Jiang Zhi not to be surprised.

"If there is nothing else to do, then I will go back. I have just reported the results of the interrogation of the Assassins. Ye Zhaopei said.

"I'll send you back." Jiang Zhi said.

Ye Zhaopei was slightly stunned, and Jiang Zhi added: "I haven't seen you for a few days, so we have to get along for a while, right?" Otherwise, how would others know that I really love you? ”

Ye Zhaopei thought for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay." Your Majesty, send me back. ”

The two walked out of the study, and Guan Shui was waiting outside. Seeing Jiang Zhi, he bowed his head and reported: "Your Majesty, Princess Huanyi and the maid Yuxiang beside her have been punished. ”

Jiang Zhi ignored this, and just focused most of his attention on Ye Zhaopei's body: "Command the ninety-nine tiger ben to light lanterns together and escort me and the queen back to the wrong garden." ”

Guan Shui was slightly stunned, but quickly understood what he meant, and turned around to prepare.

Ye Zhaopei was a little confused: "Why do you want ninety-nine tiger ben to escort you?" Your Majesty, I can fight, don't worry about the assassins coming, I will definitely protect you. ”

After she finished speaking, she lowered her voice again and said, "Your Majesty, the ninety-nine tiger ben may not be able to defeat my ...... combined."

Ye Zhaopei didn't understand the gentlemen's tenderness, and the guards outside the study all suppressed a laugh. Jiang Zhi glanced at her deeply: "I sent you back with great fanfare, I want to show the people in the palace, you are my person, you are the queen of today, and you are just one big wedding away." If anyone insults you, he will not be able to get along with me. ”

Ye Zhaopei was stunned for a moment, turned his face away, and only said "oh" after a long time, and a flush appeared on his face again. Thanks to the fact that the sky was dark, Ye Zhaopei prayed that no one would see her, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.

Jiang Zhi stared at her side face for a moment, smiled, and ordered the guards beside her: "Turn around." ”

The guards received the order and quickly turned away.

Ye Zhaopei was wondering, Jiang Zhi suddenly leaned into her ear and asked her in a low voice: "Zhaopei, why are you blushing?" ”

"I didn't ......" Ye Zhaopei was shy and irritable, snorting in his voice and shrinking his neck.

Jiang Zhi looked at her and really liked it, and he couldn't wait to eat Ye Zhaopei alive on the spot and occupy it alone. He remembered again that Ye Zhaopei, who was decisive in killing outsiders, said that he was only afraid of Jiang Zhi alone, and he was indeed only cowardly in front of him, and he was very satisfied.

Jiang Zhi smiled and reached out to rub it on the top of her head.

Guan Shui led the ninety-nine tigers to the door of the study at this moment. Seeing that Jiang Zhi and Ye Zhaopei had different expressions, they waited for a while before they spoke: "Your Majesty, everything is ready." ”

"Let's go, then." Jiang Zhi nodded slightly.

Ye Zhaopei and Jiang Zhi walked back to the wrong garden side by side, she had been breathing very carefully, everything was like a dream. Jiang Zhi's pace was slow, probably because he wanted to accompany Ye Zhaopei for a while longer.

Ninety-nine tiger ben each carried lanterns and followed behind them, no one dared to open their mouths to break the silence, Ye Zhaopei looked back halfway through, and saw that the soft lights behind her seemed to converge into a long river, and her eyes were also lit up in an instant.

This is Jiang Zhi's proof, telling her that he is good to her and that he wants her to be the queen, which is not empty words, let alone a joke.

Ye Zhaopei was silent for a while, slowly stretched out his hand, grabbed Jiang Zhi's thumb, and pinched it. She didn't dare look at him, it was her most daring move tonight.

Jiang Zhi hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, glanced at her, and wrapped Ye Zhaopei's hand into his palm.

Jiang Zhi also discussed with Empress Dowager Zheng about arranging for her to learn etiquette, and the next morning, Ye Zhaopei was sitting in the armory room wiping the long sword, when he heard a noise outside.

Ye Zhaopei held a sword in one hand and a cloth in the other, walked out of the armory room strangely, and in the wide courtyard, he saw two older grandmothers, as well as the white pear aunt who had been with the Empress Dowager Zheng for many years.

Seeing that she was holding a long sword in her hand, the two grandmothers and Bai Li were startled.

Ye Zhaopei didn't react to what was going on for a while, but Bai Li was an old man in the palace, so he quickly came back to his senses and said, "On the orders of the king and the queen mother, lead the queen to the birthday hall to cultivate herself." ”

The birthday hall is the dormitory where the Queen Mother lives. Listening to Bai Li, Ye Zhaopei finally remembered this incident. She glanced down at the long sword in her hand, and hurriedly inserted the long sword into the ground, throwing the cloth aside, and raised a smile at Mama and Bai Li: "Then there is Aunt Lao." ”

On the way to the Birthday Palace, Bai Li explained to Ye Zhaopei and said, "These two grandmothers both taught Her Royal Highness the princess back then, one is surnamed Xu and the other is surnamed Ma. ”

Ye Zhaopei let out an "oh", thinking that this was not enough, so he added another sentence, "Mama Xu, Mama Ma." This means that she remembers.

Bai Li shook his head imperceptibly.

Soon arrived at the front yard of the Birthday Palace, Bai Li went to Qiqi, and Ye Zhaopei waited alone in the same place. She noticed that there was a raised stone on the ground under her feet, and she felt a little uncomfortable, and looked left and right, but before the Empress Dowager Zheng appeared, she stretched out her toes and kicked the stone.

The stone was motionless, Ye Zhaopei frowned and increased his strength. When she finally kicked most of the stone out of the dirt, she noticed that there was an extra pair of delicately embroidered shoes in front of her.

Ye Zhaopei's eyes moved upward, and he saw the dignity of the Empress Dowager Zheng, as well as the white pears and green apricots serving her. She was stunned for a moment, was silent for a moment, and thought about what the etiquette should be for meeting the Queen Mother, but she didn't think about it when she thought about it. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

She cleared her throat, took a step back, and finally shouted, "Queen Mother." ”

Empress Dowager Zheng frowned, sighed very lightly, and seemed to speak to herself: "It's okay, whether you have learned it or not, if you don't understand it, you can teach it." ”

She said to the two grandmothers again: "But I have to bother the two grandmothers." ”

Mama Xu and Mama Ma said in unison: "The order of the Queen Mother must be remembered in my heart and I dare not slack off." ”

Empress Dowager Zheng gave a little encouragement, and then went back to the palace, and Mama Xu and Mama Ma turned to Ye Zhaopei and did not speak.

Ye Zhaopei smiled: "Since it is the order of the king and the queen mother, I naturally have to follow it, what do I have to learn, what do I have to pay attention to, and please come along." ”

She thought to herself, this shouldn't be more unbearable than burning the mountain, right?

But as it turned out, she was wrong.
