Empress is very harmonious GL
Chapter 69
"nail?"
Lin Jiao repeated it again, but still couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence?
Does Deshan have persecution paranoia?Thinking like this, she looked at the other person's eyes and it showed.
Deshan was very familiar with such eyes when she was a child, but later she grew up and learned to hide them, so she rarely saw them, but every time she thought of them, she felt pain in her heart.
She dragged Lin Jiao into the pavilion, took the fish food from the stone table, and teased the fish one after another.
"I'm not a popular kid."
Lin Jiao took the fish food in her hand, although she didn't make a sound, her eyes were full of astonishment.
"Look, I don't even believe you, let alone those people outside." Deshan seems to have guessed the reaction of others, and what she wants at this moment is not comfort and explanation, she just wants to find someone to talk to, and let the backlog in her heart The bitter resentment that had been for a long time was vented.
"When I was born, my mother's queen was not a queen, but a beautiful concubine.
The queen mother is a person with a strong desire for power. She coveted the throne for a long time, and set up many traps for the queen Yuan with the help of family power, but it only separated the relationship between the queen Yuan and her father.
Later, the queen mother found out that she was pregnant, and the queen of the Yuan Dynasty was also pregnant at that time. In order to compete for the place of the eldest daughter, she did not hesitate to use oxytocin to give birth to me, and I also suffered from congenital deficiency. "
There was a weak smile on Deshan's face, "But even so, I was born half an hour later than my sister, and my mother always felt that I was not up to date and not as good as my sister."
Lin Jiao nodded slightly, but nothing moved her heart.Not to mention the royal family, this kind of thing can happen even in private mansions with low assets. Just get used to it. If you can't get used to it, you will become an abandoned child.
"When I was three years old, my mother fell out of favor, and my father began to favor younger and more beautiful beauties. In order to win favor, my mother made me pretend to be sick. If I didn't pretend, she wouldn't let me eat, and wouldn't give me a quilt when I slept at night.
As she wished, I was ill, but my father did not come to see me, and my mother scolded me for not living up to expectations. "
This is really too much.
Lin Jiao patted Deshan on the shoulder and comforted softly: "It's not your fault. It's a man's bad habit to like the new and dislike the old. You don't have to blame yourself."
Deshan moved Lin Jiao's hand away, and continued to talk about her past in a very indifferent tone.
"Seeing that there is no hope of regaining favor, the queen mother simply gave up fighting for favor and instead accompanied me to read and practice calligraphy. Maybe I am really stupid, I can't understand the contents of the book. My sister is already reciting the Book of Songs, so I will write my name. For this reason, the queen mother had to lose her temper.
At that time, I ran to the Imperial Garden, where my sister and the Empress Yuan would fly kites.
I don't want to read books, and I don't want to compete for the position of the princess. I just want to go to the imperial garden with my mother to swing and kick the shuttlecock. "
Lin Jiao had never met the queen, but whether it was the empress's mansion or Zhaohe's mansion, when the servants heard the word queen, they would keep it secret and would not say anything more.The queen must be a very powerful woman.
She stretched out her hand and squeezed Deshan's shoulder.
"The queen may be too anxious. She has no malicious intentions. There is no mother in the world who does not love her children."
She can only choose to comfort, and can't make things worse.
"No, there are only two things in this world, one is herself, and the other is power, and I am just a tool for her to gain and consolidate power.
That day I fell ill after returning from the imperial garden, and after a while in a daze, when I fully woke up, the queen mother had already ascended the throne, and my idiot princess had also become a prince.
Later, I eavesdropped on the conspiracy between my mother and her confidantes. They put the puppet with my birthday on it into the palace of the Queen Yuan and framed them.The reason I'm sick is because they really use my hair.I often met Empress Yuan in the Royal Garden, and it became evidence that Empress Yuan deliberately planned to harm me.
Later, when I went to the Leng Palace, the palace servants were sweeping her body with grass, planning to send it to be burned. My sister was standing in the distance in white clothes, her eyes were red.Since then, I have never seen my sister cry again. "
Lin Jiao seems to know Zhaohe's intention to get her close to Deshan.
"Did the eldest princess' mother be killed by you?"
"No, I didn't do it on purpose. I didn't know that the queen mother would use me." Deshan snatched the box suddenly, and the fish food was poured on the ground, stomping on the ground, "The queen mother is right, I am a fool, if it weren't for her Protect me, I've already become a scumbag!"
Seeing Deshan like this, Lin Jiao felt very distressed, and quickly hugged her, "It's not your fault, it's not your fault."
"I knew you would understand me, I can't choose my origin, I can't choose my mother, but I still feel sad, why does the queen mother do this..."
After a while, the voice of the person in his arms dropped, he sniffed, pretending to be brisk and said: "What I just said was a lie to you, don't take it seriously."
?Why did you change the wording again?Could it be to maintain her image?
After realizing the other party's intentions, Lin Jiao really pretended to be deceived, and immediately pushed her away forcefully, and said seriously: "Don't make jokes about this kind of thing in the future."
Later, he added, "I'm going to feel bad."
Seeing Deshan's depression, she couldn't help but think of her younger sister Lin Yu, who was also concealed to bear her father's expectations, which made people feel distressed.
Deshan rubbed his eyes, and said excitedly: "I knew that tricks are the most effective. See, I've been fooled."
Poor boy.
Lin Jiao suddenly remembered the woman in white from before.Bai Yi should be sincere to Deshan.
She will definitely hurt Deshan. If Baiyi is by Deshan's side, she thinks for a moment and proposes: "Actually, I don't really mind Baiyi's existence. You don't have to drive her away."
Deshan obviously didn't expect the topic to suddenly change so quickly, he was silent for a moment, and then he said, "The white clothes are indeed the nails that the queen arranged for me."
"why?"
"The queen mother probably feels that she controls me, so she will feel at ease in her heart." Deshan's face was full of helplessness and sadness.
This topic is really not suitable for chatting, so Lin Jiao changed it to another one.
"Why do you treat me so well? My origin is unknown, so you are not afraid that you will be a spy arranged by other countries?"
"Spy? How can there be such a messy spy like you? You told me everything, what bad things can you do in the future?" She regained her previous smile, her face full of trust, "Besides, even if you cheated , then I am also willing."
Lin Jiao held onto the corner of her clothes, and looked at her hesitantly.
In fact, I will really lie to you and hurt you.
"Don't you believe me? You have to force people to confess." Deshan suddenly jumped on Zhaohe's body, hugging his waist tightly like a koala, "I picked you up, you have nothing to do with the people here , unlike other people around me who always have various ulterior motives.
I am your only support here, I treat you well, and you will not let me down. "
Lin Jiao didn't make a sound, turned around, and slowly walked out of Le Tingyuan with Deshan on her back.
"Jiaojiao, you are the first one to carry me on your back. I am so happy."
"Has no one backed you before?"
"No." After a moment of silence, the voice rose again, "But it would be nice to have you."
Lin Jiao looked at the two overlapping shadows on the ground, feeling even more guilty in her heart.
Deshan, after I see Ayu, I will come to apologize to you again.
***
Once he gets busy, the days go by extremely quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it is the day of great joy for Deshan and Lin Jiao.
There were big red happy characters pasted on the doors and windows, but the room was quiet and the atmosphere was dull.
Lin Jiao stared blankly at the woman in the bronze mirror, without saying a word.Gorgeous and charming, dignified and noble, strange and familiar.
Xi Niang flicked the handkerchief and said with a smile: "Hey, I have been Xi Niang for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen such a beautiful bride. Miss, why don't you smile?"
The maids all agreed, "Yes, the girl is so beautiful, she must look good when she smiles."
Is she getting married?
Lin Jiao stretched out her hand to touch the woman in the mirror, but she just touched the cold mirror, and tears rolled down without warning.
"Hey, my ancestor, why are you crying? You can't be in trouble on this big day." Xi Niang persuaded her while touching up her makeup, "Girl, although our granddaughter used to be You have done a lot of foolish things and provoked some flowers and plants, but for the sake of the girl, you have cleaned up those weeds, so why are you dissatisfied?"
After finishing the makeup, Xi Niang stuffed an apple into Lin Jiao's hand, "Come, come, red apple, your childhood is prosperous, and your life will be safe and sound."
Lin Jiao took the apple and explained: "I'm not dissatisfied, I just think that the princess is too kind to me, and I'm afraid that I'll let down this affection in the future."
She also fantasized about what she would look like in a wedding dress, and thought about thousands of ways, but she never expected that her wedding dress would be a cloak for a scam.
"Is the bride ready? The Empress is coming." A greeting came from outside the door.
Hearing the approaching sound of the festive suona, Lin Jiao felt a little flustered, and involuntarily clenched the hands holding Apple.
With a bang, the apple was broken into two halves.
Hearing the sound, Xi Niang turned her head and saw the apple. The corners of her mouth twitched, and she complained a little: "Miss, don't you know that this apple can't be broken randomly? It's unlucky."
She took another apple and stuffed it into Lin Jiao's hand. Just as she was thinking of giving some instructions, she heard the clamor of asking for red envelopes outside the door, and hurriedly put the cover on.
A red shadow fell, blocking Lin Jiao's sight, and seemed to calm down her impetuous heart.
There was a commotion at the door, it was the arrival of the relatives, the little maids did not dare to stop them, and opened the door after begging for a few red envelopes.
A pair of red boots appeared in the field of vision. As soon as a corner of the hijab was lifted, Lin Jiao heard Xi Niang's teasing voice, "Ma'am, this hijab can only be removed after a big gift has been sent to the new house."
Deshan had no choice but to let go of the other end of the red silk.
Because Lin Jiao was from Daqi and had no parents or relatives in Nanqiang, she married from the palace.
The two went to the main hall to bid farewell to the Nanqiang king and queen, and then set off for the Tainu mansion.
The welcoming team started from the palace and circled the entire capital.It was very lively along the way, with drums and music, colored flowers and wedding candies flying all over the sky, and copper coins scattered on the ground like beans, attracting crowds who watched the excitement looting and loudly wishing the two couples a happy marriage for a hundred years.
When the sun was about to set, the sedan chair arrived at the gate of the Granddaughter's Mansion, stepped over the saddle, walked through the red felt, and arrived at the Xitang.
Through Xigai, Lin Jiao couldn't see who was in the hall, and naturally she couldn't see Showa in white.
Sitting in the wedding hall are the royal family members, the first one is the eldest princess who has already married, the Empress Dowager of Daqi.
There were still some young people standing in the Xitang, they were Deshan's good friends in the past, and they were the ones who shouted loudly just now.
After the newlyweds stand still, the praisers shout: "Perform temple ceremony and play music! The main wisher kneels in front of the incense table, all kneel! Offer incense, second incense, third incense! Kowtow, second kowtow, third kowtow! Ascent, flat body, Reset!"
The praisers sing: "Bai Tiandi!"
"Worship the Sea God!"
"Goodbye!"
The last sound fell, but Lin Jiao didn't bend down to salute. She was standing straight in the middle of the hall in a bright red wedding dress with a phoenix spreading its wings, looking very abrupt.
A slight tremor came from the other end of the red silk, accompanied by Deshan's worry, "Jiaojiao, are you feeling unwell?"
Lin Jiao shook her head lightly, she was just a little bit unwilling.
A hand covered the back of her hand. The palm of that hand was broad, dry and warm, calming the panic in her heart.
"Then let's salute quickly, and we can go back to rest early after we salute."
"it is good."
"Partners say goodbye!"
"Licheng! Send it to the bridal chamber~"
The moment she got up, the hijab was lifted, and a piece of white clothes jumped into her sight. Before she had time to identify the other party, she was surrounded and sent into the new house.
……
After Deshan sent Lin Jiao into the new house, he lifted the cover and saw a beautiful face, charming eyebrows and bright red lips, which made her want to kiss her.
Holding Xicheng's hand, the palm was slightly sweaty, she heard her rapid breathing, and finally lost her mind.
There was noise outside, and she hurriedly escaped from the new house after saying "Take good care of your mother", and went to the front yard to thank the guests.
She is a princess, and there are many ministers who need to socialize. She used to be a dandy who only knew how to drink and amuse birds, and spent a lot of money.
After finally dealing with the front yard, the female relatives at the back were even more enthusiastic, and they tortured her for a while to preach, nothing more than hoping that she would live a good life after becoming a relative, and not be as lazy as before.
If these words were said on a daily basis, she would probably laugh them off, and then continue to drink her own wine, listen to ditties she didn't understand, watch the dazzling dance, and fool around.
But tonight, probably because the moonlight was too bright, her eyes were a little brighter than before, and her serious expression was reflected in the clear wine.
"It's a daughter's true nature to start a family and start a career. Deshan will remember her aunt's words in her heart and never dare to forget them."
"Okay, this is the appearance of an adult. You go, I will deal with you here." The queen waved her away.
"Thank you auntie."
After receiving the amnesty, Deshan put down his wine glass and walked towards the backyard.
Pushing open the door, the new house was still exactly the same as before she left. The bride on the bed was gentle and quiet, and the maid serving beside her was obedient and obedient.
The red candle was burning brightly, and the warm yellow halo softened the bright red of the room, and the flickering light and shadow made the room a little more charming.
"You all go down." The maid obeyed and withdrew.
She walked to the bed and just sat down when she saw the person beside her froze, and the apple in her hand almost fell.
"It's getting late, we..."
"We haven't had the Hebei wine yet." Lin Jiao snapped.
Deshan picked up the wine that had already been poured from the silver plate, handed a glass to Lin Jiao, intertwined their wrists, each drank half of it, and exchanged glasses to share.
Lin Jiao grew up in the palace with strict rules. Apart from falling in love with her cousin, she never did anything out of the ordinary.
The spicy wine was sent into her throat and slid into her atrium. She drank it in a hurry, choked on it accidentally, and coughed dryly again and again.The cheeks were even redder, and the already beautiful eyebrows and eyes were even more charming because of the moisture of the glistening water.
Deshan stared at her obsessively, and gradually approached her.
The smell of alcohol hit her, Lin Jiao lowered her head in panic, avoiding the scorching gaze from above.
She heard Deshan's panicked voice, "Mother... madam... let's settle it down."
Hearing the title "lady", she frowned and retorted, "Deshan, you should call me by my name."
The color in Deshan's eyes darkened a bit, but he still said obediently: "Okay, just listen to Jiaojiao."
"It's getting late, go and wash up quickly, you will not be able to sleep soundly with such a strong smell of alcohol." Lin Jiao urged, looking very virtuous and considerate.
Deshan put his sleeves in front of his nose, smelled it, frowned, and immediately agreed, "I'll go right away, you...you have to wait for me."
The sound of splashing water was heard behind the screen, and Lin Jiao couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Taking advantage of the other party's absence, she took off her shoes and climbed onto the bed, and pulled the quilt to wrap herself tightly.
She had never thought of being with someone other than her cousin for the rest of her life, but what happened at this moment no longer reminded her of the fact that she was married.
She's not ready yet.
When Deshan came out of the shower, he saw the person on the bed with his back to her, feeling sullen in his heart, standing in front of the bed, not going forward for a long time.
The brocade quilt wrapped around the man tightly, like a line of defense, separating them firmly.
She had already guessed that Lin Jiao's appearance was not accidental, and she also had another purpose in marrying her, but so what?She has been pretending to be crazy and stupid for more than ten years, and it is not difficult to continue pretending.But I still feel wronged in my heart.
She climbed up anyway.
There was a sound from the bed, and a place on the side of the bed collapsed.
Deshan came up.Thinking of this, Lin Jiao moved a little further inside.
A hot hand touched her shoulder, she was startled suddenly, and asked holding her breath, "Deshan, what are you doing?"
"Jiaojiao, we're already married." The thick nasal voice contained a lot of grievances.
Lin Jiao squeezed the corner of the quilt tightly, and replied weakly: "I'm tired."
There was no movement behind him for a long time, and it took a while before he heard a low "oh".
Lin Jiao finally closed her eyes with peace of mind, but she couldn't fall asleep. Her eyes were filled with chaotic scarlet, and she could hear sparks cracking in her ears from time to time, as well as faint sighs.
In the second half of the night, the sky changed, and the moon was covered by dark clouds, leaving only a few lonely stars, emitting a bleak light.
Under the plane tree, a figure stumbled, humming vague sentences.
"The bright moon is born on the sea, and the sky is at this time...Where can the jade man teach the flute... raise a glass to invite the bright moon, and the shadows become three people. Hey, where is my shadow? Why is it gone? Oh, the moon, where is the moon?
The little mute came out from the dark, walked up to the man, and wanted to grab the wine jar, "Master, it's late at night, let the subordinates take you back."
"No need, I won't be able to sleep when I go back." Zhaohe turned around, picked up a wine jar from the ground, threw it to the little mute, and said with a smile, "Why are you still standing there, come and drink with me for a while."
When the two jars touched, a lot of wine was poured out, and the air was filled with a strong aroma of wine for a while.
The little mute was wearing a mask, and his flat voice didn't fluctuate, "Master, drinking doesn't make you happy."
"Your eyes can see that I'm not happy? Of course I'm happy when my sister gets married."
Zhaohe took a sip of the wine, but before she could swallow it, the clear liquid slid down her chin to her neck, and wet a large piece of clothes in front of her, looking very embarrassed.
"Master, do you regret it?"
Regret?
"No, I don't regret it, there is always sacrifice behind the glory." She took another sip of wine and laughed loudly: "I will bring her back after I ascend the throne, she is still mine."
"But what if she doesn't want to?"
"Impossible. I am the king, who dare not listen to the king?" As if to prove her prestige, she slammed the flagon on the ground, and remembered clearly.
Pointing at the pile of debris, she said with a sinister smile, "See if I'm right. If I want it to die, I have to die, and if I want it to live, I have to live. No one can resist."
She gritted her teeth for the last sentence.
"What the master said is true." The little mute echoed very carelessly.
"But I'm still not happy. Why do you think the moon is so dark today? And this wine is not as good as it used to be. It's bitter and astringent. Do you think they all looked down on me and deliberately gave me fake wine... "
"Master, you are really drunk, and this subordinate will help you in to rest."
"Nonsense, I'm not drunk, you're drunk." Zhaohe squinted her eyes, dangling the wine jar in her hand, she knelt down suddenly, pulled the hem of the little dumb and choked up: "Don't leave me, they They're all gone, stay here and I'll treat you to a drink..."
The little mute looked at the brightly lit mansion in the distance, sighed, tore off the paper seal, and drank from the jar.
The two sad people leaned against each other, leaned against the plane tree, and fell asleep in a daze.
However, what woke them up the next day was the rapid and sharp sound of horns. No one expected that the pirates would take the initiative to attack the city.
Lin Jiao repeated it again, but still couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence?
Does Deshan have persecution paranoia?Thinking like this, she looked at the other person's eyes and it showed.
Deshan was very familiar with such eyes when she was a child, but later she grew up and learned to hide them, so she rarely saw them, but every time she thought of them, she felt pain in her heart.
She dragged Lin Jiao into the pavilion, took the fish food from the stone table, and teased the fish one after another.

Deshan moved Lin Jiao's hand away, and continued to talk about her past in a very indifferent tone.
"Seeing that there is no hope of regaining favor, the queen mother simply gave up fighting for favor and instead accompanied me to read and practice calligraphy.

I am your only support here, I treat you well, and you will not let me down. "

There was a commotion at the door, it was the arrival of the relatives, the little maids did not dare to stop them, and opened the door after begging for a few red envelopes.
A pair of red boots appeared in the field of vision. As soon as a corner of the hijab was lifted, Lin Jiao heard Xi Niang's teasing voice, "Ma'am, this hijab can only be removed after a big gift has been sent to the new house."
Deshan had no choice but to let go of the other end of the red silk.
Because Lin Jiao was from Daqi and had no parents or relatives in Nanqiang, she married from the palace.
The two went to the main hall to bid farewell to the Nanqiang king and queen, and then set off for the Tainu mansion.
The welcoming team started from the palace and circled the entire capital.It was very lively along the way, with drums and music, colored flowers and wedding candies flying all over the sky, and copper coins scattered on the ground like beans, attracting crowds who watched the excitement looting and loudly wishing the two couples a happy marriage for a hundred years.
When the sun was about to set, the sedan chair arrived at the gate of the Granddaughter's Mansion, stepped over the saddle, walked through the red felt, and arrived at the Xitang.
Through Xigai, Lin Jiao couldn't see who was in the hall, and naturally she couldn't see Showa in white.
Sitting in the wedding hall are the royal family members, the first one is the eldest princess who has already married, the Empress Dowager of Daqi.
There were still some young people standing in the Xitang, they were Deshan's good friends in the past, and they were the ones who shouted loudly just now.
After the newlyweds stand still, the praisers shout: "Perform temple ceremony and play music! The main wisher kneels in front of the incense table, all kneel! Offer incense, second incense, third incense! Kowtow, second kowtow, third kowtow! Ascent, flat body, Reset!"
The praisers sing: "Bai Tiandi!"
"Worship the Sea God!"
"Goodbye!"
The last sound fell, but Lin Jiao didn't bend down to salute. She was standing straight in the middle of the hall in a bright red wedding dress with a phoenix spreading its wings, looking very abrupt.
A slight tremor came from the other end of the red silk, accompanied by Deshan's worry, "Jiaojiao, are you feeling unwell?"
Lin Jiao shook her head lightly, she was just a little bit unwilling.
A hand covered the back of her hand. The palm of that hand was broad, dry and warm, calming the panic in her heart.
"Then let's salute quickly, and we can go back to rest early after we salute."
"it is good."
"Partners say goodbye!"
"Licheng! Send it to the bridal chamber~"
The moment she got up, the hijab was lifted, and a piece of white clothes jumped into her sight. Before she had time to identify the other party, she was surrounded and sent into the new house.
……
After Deshan sent Lin Jiao into the new house, he lifted the cover and saw a beautiful face, charming eyebrows and bright red lips, which made her want to kiss her.
Holding Xicheng's hand, the palm was slightly sweaty, she heard her rapid breathing, and finally lost her mind.
There was noise outside, and she hurriedly escaped from the new house after saying "Take good care of your mother", and went to the front yard to thank the guests.
She is a princess, and there are many ministers who need to socialize. She used to be a dandy who only knew how to drink and amuse birds, and spent a lot of money.
After finally dealing with the front yard, the female relatives at the back were even more enthusiastic, and they tortured her for a while to preach, nothing more than hoping that she would live a good life after becoming a relative, and not be as lazy as before.
If these words were said on a daily basis, she would probably laugh them off, and then continue to drink her own wine, listen to ditties she didn't understand, watch the dazzling dance, and fool around.
But tonight, probably because the moonlight was too bright, her eyes were a little brighter than before, and her serious expression was reflected in the clear wine.
"It's a daughter's true nature to start a family and start a career. Deshan will remember her aunt's words in her heart and never dare to forget them."
"Okay, this is the appearance of an adult. You go, I will deal with you here." The queen waved her away.
"Thank you auntie."
After receiving the amnesty, Deshan put down his wine glass and walked towards the backyard.
Pushing open the door, the new house was still exactly the same as before she left. The bride on the bed was gentle and quiet, and the maid serving beside her was obedient and obedient.
The red candle was burning brightly, and the warm yellow halo softened the bright red of the room, and the flickering light and shadow made the room a little more charming.
"You all go down." The maid obeyed and withdrew.
She walked to the bed and just sat down when she saw the person beside her froze, and the apple in her hand almost fell.
"It's getting late, we..."
"We haven't had the Hebei wine yet." Lin Jiao snapped.
Deshan picked up the wine that had already been poured from the silver plate, handed a glass to Lin Jiao, intertwined their wrists, each drank half of it, and exchanged glasses to share.
Lin Jiao grew up in the palace with strict rules. Apart from falling in love with her cousin, she never did anything out of the ordinary.
The spicy wine was sent into her throat and slid into her atrium. She drank it in a hurry, choked on it accidentally, and coughed dryly again and again.The cheeks were even redder, and the already beautiful eyebrows and eyes were even more charming because of the moisture of the glistening water.
Deshan stared at her obsessively, and gradually approached her.
The smell of alcohol hit her, Lin Jiao lowered her head in panic, avoiding the scorching gaze from above.
She heard Deshan's panicked voice, "Mother... madam... let's settle it down."
Hearing the title "lady", she frowned and retorted, "Deshan, you should call me by my name."
The color in Deshan's eyes darkened a bit, but he still said obediently: "Okay, just listen to Jiaojiao."
"It's getting late, go and wash up quickly, you will not be able to sleep soundly with such a strong smell of alcohol." Lin Jiao urged, looking very virtuous and considerate.
Deshan put his sleeves in front of his nose, smelled it, frowned, and immediately agreed, "I'll go right away, you...you have to wait for me."
The sound of splashing water was heard behind the screen, and Lin Jiao couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Taking advantage of the other party's absence, she took off her shoes and climbed onto the bed, and pulled the quilt to wrap herself tightly.
She had never thought of being with someone other than her cousin for the rest of her life, but what happened at this moment no longer reminded her of the fact that she was married.
She's not ready yet.
When Deshan came out of the shower, he saw the person on the bed with his back to her, feeling sullen in his heart, standing in front of the bed, not going forward for a long time.
The brocade quilt wrapped around the man tightly, like a line of defense, separating them firmly.
She had already guessed that Lin Jiao's appearance was not accidental, and she also had another purpose in marrying her, but so what?She has been pretending to be crazy and stupid for more than ten years, and it is not difficult to continue pretending.But I still feel wronged in my heart.
She climbed up anyway.
There was a sound from the bed, and a place on the side of the bed collapsed.
Deshan came up.Thinking of this, Lin Jiao moved a little further inside.
A hot hand touched her shoulder, she was startled suddenly, and asked holding her breath, "Deshan, what are you doing?"
"Jiaojiao, we're already married." The thick nasal voice contained a lot of grievances.
Lin Jiao squeezed the corner of the quilt tightly, and replied weakly: "I'm tired."
There was no movement behind him for a long time, and it took a while before he heard a low "oh".
Lin Jiao finally closed her eyes with peace of mind, but she couldn't fall asleep. Her eyes were filled with chaotic scarlet, and she could hear sparks cracking in her ears from time to time, as well as faint sighs.
In the second half of the night, the sky changed, and the moon was covered by dark clouds, leaving only a few lonely stars, emitting a bleak light.
Under the plane tree, a figure stumbled, humming vague sentences.
"The bright moon is born on the sea, and the sky is at this time...Where can the jade man teach the flute... raise a glass to invite the bright moon, and the shadows become three people. Hey, where is my shadow? Why is it gone? Oh, the moon, where is the moon?
The little mute came out from the dark, walked up to the man, and wanted to grab the wine jar, "Master, it's late at night, let the subordinates take you back."
"No need, I won't be able to sleep when I go back." Zhaohe turned around, picked up a wine jar from the ground, threw it to the little mute, and said with a smile, "Why are you still standing there, come and drink with me for a while."
When the two jars touched, a lot of wine was poured out, and the air was filled with a strong aroma of wine for a while.
The little mute was wearing a mask, and his flat voice didn't fluctuate, "Master, drinking doesn't make you happy."
"Your eyes can see that I'm not happy? Of course I'm happy when my sister gets married."
Zhaohe took a sip of the wine, but before she could swallow it, the clear liquid slid down her chin to her neck, and wet a large piece of clothes in front of her, looking very embarrassed.
"Master, do you regret it?"
Regret?
"No, I don't regret it, there is always sacrifice behind the glory." She took another sip of wine and laughed loudly: "I will bring her back after I ascend the throne, she is still mine."
"But what if she doesn't want to?"
"Impossible. I am the king, who dare not listen to the king?" As if to prove her prestige, she slammed the flagon on the ground, and remembered clearly.
Pointing at the pile of debris, she said with a sinister smile, "See if I'm right. If I want it to die, I have to die, and if I want it to live, I have to live. No one can resist."
She gritted her teeth for the last sentence.
"What the master said is true." The little mute echoed very carelessly.
"But I'm still not happy. Why do you think the moon is so dark today? And this wine is not as good as it used to be. It's bitter and astringent. Do you think they all looked down on me and deliberately gave me fake wine... "
"Master, you are really drunk, and this subordinate will help you in to rest."
"Nonsense, I'm not drunk, you're drunk." Zhaohe squinted her eyes, dangling the wine jar in her hand, she knelt down suddenly, pulled the hem of the little dumb and choked up: "Don't leave me, they They're all gone, stay here and I'll treat you to a drink..."
The little mute looked at the brightly lit mansion in the distance, sighed, tore off the paper seal, and drank from the jar.
The two sad people leaned against each other, leaned against the plane tree, and fell asleep in a daze.
However, what woke them up the next day was the rapid and sharp sound of horns. No one expected that the pirates would take the initiative to attack the city.
