Chapter 41: Shut up, crazy talk

Di Jiang came closer with the shawl and stood in front of her. He looked down at her teasing look at him, and a faint warmth flowed through his heart.

"Raise your hand." He demonstrated, and put it back on her wrist.

Lu Jiuwan took the shawl from his hand.

Spider raised it lightly, and the shawl was hung on his neck.

Her eyebrows were full of smiles, and she tiptoed to get closer to him, pulling the shawl.

A gust of wind swept by, and the light shawl was entangled with each other.

The palace maids and eunuchs who followed were stunned for a moment.

The princess wore a red silk dress embroidered with red flowers in auspicious groups, a red gauze belt around her waist, and a wild rose pink long dress that dragged on the ground.

Her soft black hair was tied into a bun with a dark red hairband, and she wore a golden crown with a magpie and a pearl step-shake, and a jade hairpin with peony silk flowers and beads.

Gorgeous and stunning, swaying and graceful.

The key is the makeup of the princess, which is very different from the makeup of the women in the palace.

I dare not look closely, and I feel bright and clean when I blink, with a touch of mystery and inviolability.

The prince is wearing a black python pattern official uniform, with long black hair tied high with a golden crown, handsome, domineering and sharp.

Beautiful scenery, beautiful woman is tall, and it is a feast for the eyes.

Lu Jiuwan looked at Dijiang and learned to say in a doting tone: "If you like it, I will give it to you. As long as you like it, I will give you anything."

When it comes to love, you still need a few sweet words to coax the other party and provide the other party with valuable emotions.

Dijiang did not move, and looked into her eyes with deep eyes.

Only he himself knew.

Under the calm appearance, he could clearly feel the intensification of his chest beating.

Lu Jiuwan looked at his calm and handsome face in confusion, how could he not be moved?

This man is obviously not easy to please.

Not far away, Ye Yunzhou, who was passing by the Imperial Garden, stopped and recognized the flirting.

This woman looked cold.

She was so fierce to him, and she didn't expect to be so affectionate and flattering to a man that day.

He looked at the gentleness on Lu Jiuwan's face in the sun, and felt that the scenery in the yard was not as bright as the smile in the corner of her eyes.

In an instant, he put himself into the role of Dijiang. The person she leaned on was also himself, and the person being teased by Meimei was also himself.

It was as if he exerted the warmth of her body and the fragrance of her hair.

Shocked by his own imagination, Ye Yunzhou quickly retracted his gaze.

But he couldn't help looking over here, looking at the woman who he had only seen once but was remembered by him.

Another place.

The man in the yellow dragon robe stood on the high wall, and also looked into each other's eyes.

His pure and unselfish uncle Wang.

Really fell in love.

The bottom layer is the hero and the beauty.

His eyes moved to Lu Jiuwan, trying to see something special from her.

Seeing that Dijiang was not moved, Lu Jiuwan reached out to climb his neck, tiptoed close to him, and looked into his eyes.

He asked seriously and gently, "What do you want? Tell me, I'm definitely not trying to coax you."

Dijiang restrained himself and held her waist tightly, fearing that she would be nervous again.

What does he want?

He just wants her now.

"Hmm?" she asked again.

"You."

Lu Jiuwan went through the question and answer again, and a smile appeared on his face again.

Put down one hand, touch his hand along her waist, cover the back of his hand, and rub it gently.

"Do you want me here? Do you like excitement?"

Di Jiang pulled back his hand and covered her mouth, whispering to her, "Shut up, you're talking nonsense."

This picture occupied the emperor's eyes, and his heart was like a stone thrown into it, and ripples appeared in the calm lake of his heart.

Such a natural and casual understanding, no woman around him could do it, and no one dared to do it, and he didn't allow it.

In fact, I think it's rare.

Lu Jiuwan's mouth was covered, and most of her small face was covered by Di Jiang's big hand, and only her charming eyes could be seen.

Time and space seemed to be still for Di Jiang, and he wanted to look at her eyes but couldn't move away.

The numb feeling spread from his chest, and he longed for millions of butterflies in his chest to keep waving, gushing, and ready to come out.

Itchy, panic, and wonderful.

Lu Jiuwan felt that she was about to pass out when he covered her, and blew a breath into his palm.

The warm nation is like a key to unlock the lock, and millions of butterflies in the chest instantly burst out and fly around their kind.

Dijiang hurriedly let go of his hand, but the warmth in his palm did not dissipate, so he pinched it.

"You pressed it with your hand, and your face hurts." Lu Jiuwan said with disdain.

Dijiang: "..."

His hands, which have been holding swords for many years, must not be smooth and delicate.

Looking at her delicate face, he immediately thought of her more delicate parts, why didn't he hear her cry out in pain before.

Yijue hung the shawl that was wrapped around each other back on her wrist and patiently tidied it for her.

Ye Yunzhou's face was piled up, and he was walking towards Strawberry.

Ignoring the hidden sight, Dijiang took Lu Jiuwan's hand and strode away to the other side.

Ye Yunzhou: ...

...

The palace for celebrating birthdays is specially used for such large banquets, and it is spacious and luxurious.

In addition to the main seat of the emperor, there are several rows of benches around the hall.

The royal family, concubines, nobles and families sat on the stairs according to their positions.

Except for the emperor and empress who were sitting at the main seat, there were two empty seats at the table.

At today's banquet, men basically wore official uniforms.

The women were all dressed up beautifully, and they all looked like they would not admit defeat.

Ye Yunzhou glanced around and did not see the opposite side, but the seat opposite was empty.

"Why don't you see the King of Jin?"

Emperor Xun raised his eyes and looked at the opposite side and replied to him: "The time has come. My royal brother has always been a punctual person. Your Highness, don't worry."

There were two empty seats next to him. His brother never attended insignificant banquets.

But he would definitely come to an occasion like today.

"I heard that Nanjin pays the most attention to the distinction between the superior and the inferior. Everyone is here, and the King of Jin..." He replied with a smile.

In such an occasion, no one dared to speak loudly.

Only the prince of Beiling attracted the attention of the owner.

Di Xun looked at the villain opposite him coldly, "I have often heard that people in Beiling like to gossip the most..."

"Prince Jin, Princess Jin is here!"

Just then Di Jiang came in with Lu Jiuwan, and Di Xun stopped talking tactfully.

The appearance of these two people also made the scene quiet for a short time, and then everyone stood up and saluted.

"Greetings to Prince Jin, Princess Jin."

It was mainly the power of Prince Jin. When Di Xun arrived, no one stood up to salute him.

The same appearance.

Everyone's eyes were all on him, and they couldn't move away.

The eyes had their own ideas, and they fell on each other without paying attention.

People who had never seen the prince and princess always believed what the rumors said, that the prince was tall and handsome, and the princess was beautiful, and they were highly respected in their hearts.

Di Jiang took Lu Jiuwan to sit down, and in order, Lu Jiuwan marked the middle between Di Jiang and Di Xun.

"Brother, why did you come so late?" Di Xun leaned forward and greeted Di Jiang.

Di Jiang ignored him.

Chapter 42 Private Appreciation

Emperor Xun had long been accustomed to his brother's indifference to him, so he didn't mind. He just sat down.

His eyes kept looking at Lu Jiuwan.

He had already finished reading the book "The Queen and Her Romantic Prince".

It was really... barely good.

I wonder if she has any other interesting books?

He wanted to find an opportunity to ask in a subtle and unobtrusive way.

He was also curious about the book "Journey to the West", but he hadn't had time to go to his brother's place to look for it.

Lu Jiuwan felt his gaze, and like his aloof brother, she acted as an indifferent sister-in-law without hesitation.

I was too lazy to quarrel with him, or else it would start and it would be hard to stop.

This line of sight could be ignored, but the line of sight on the other side was stronger and more direct.

She raised her eyes and looked back coldly, with a bit of annoyance in her eyes.

Ye Yunzhou was startled, his heartbeat stopped for a moment, a very mysterious feeling.

But he smiled, "See you again, Princess."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xun looked between the two of them.

He frowned and said to the other side, "There are so many people, why are you trying to get close to my sister-in-law? You met my brother yesterday, why didn't you talk to my brother."

Lu Jiuwan raised his eyebrows slightly, looking satisfied.

Ye Yunzhou still smiled, "I met the princess once at the Hundred Flowers Festival. The princess's pipa music shocked half of Nanjin City and is still fresh in people's memory."

This is an exaggeration, but some female relatives have heard of it, and some were present that day, which is indeed unforgettable.

They were surprised that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Beiling was also there that day.

"The Emperor is here, and the Empress is here."

With a loud shout, Di Xuanyi, dressed in a dragon robe, and Xiao Ziying, dressed elegantly, appeared at the door of the hall.

Everyone stood up and saluted respectfully.

Di Jiang bowed and saluted, his movements were beautiful and generous.

The same etiquette, Dijiang's performance was not like the others, which was a respectful submission of the lower to the upper, but full of dignity and dignity.

It was a delight to watch.

Lu Jiuwan followed and bent his knees.

Di Xuanyi walked to the first seat and raised his hand, "Sit down."

He looked at Ye Yunzhou.

"I just heard the prince's voice outside the door. What are you talking about so happily?"

Ye Yunzhou pulled the corner of his lips and smiled habitually: "It is said that the Princess of Jin is famous in Nanjin City, and her piano skills are superb and unmatched."

Di Xuanyi looked over along his line of sight.

Dijiang sat there, like a beast, his eyelashes fluttering, covering the majesty in his eyes, but revealing his domineering side.

His uncle, with that terrifying aura alone, would make anyone sitting on the throne feel uneasy.

Being too superior is also a mistake.

What's more...

Lu Jiuwan seemed like an outsider, and seemed to have been infected with Emperor Jiang's habits. The two people's sitting postures and expressions were very similar.

This discovery made Emperor Xuanyi frown. Rebellion is not a rare thing.

"Oh~"

The eunuch beside him hesitated for several times, and finally reminded, "Your Majesty, the auspicious time has arrived."

Emperor Xuanyi retracted his gaze from Lu Jiuwan, "Then let's start."

When the auspicious time came, various procedures were carried out.

First, all officials came to congratulate and toasted together.

Then the birthday celebration list was read out.

Then the dishes were served.

Lu Jiuwan's whole mind was on the dishes.

The delicacies were mouth-watering.

No matter what it was, no matter whether it tasted good or not, she wanted to try it. She would know whether it was sour or sweet only after tasting it.

Her eyes stared at the dishes like a cat staring at a mouse. When a dish was served, her eyes followed the dish.

No one noticed if they didn't pay attention, because only her eyes were moving.

But to Dijiang, her eyes were too persistent and expectant, and he couldn't ignore it at all.

Are you hungry at home? Like a vicious wolf.

The wide and long table was filled with exquisite food and wine.

After the dishes were served, everyone toasted a glass of wine to the emperor, and then the court band began to sing and dance.

Lu Jiuwan tasted the food quietly and enjoyed the ancient songs and dances with relish. The dances were beautiful and fluent. The person was beautiful and the dance was even more beautiful.

"Your Majesty, since your Majesty ascended the throne, you have worked day and night for the country and the people. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the country is stable. In gratitude for your great grace, my daughter Fangyao would like to present a dance and wish the emperor good health,"

Halfway through the banquet, Lu Changan stood up.

Although Emperor Xuanyi knew what he meant, he would not offend others on a day like today.

Of course, everyone also understood what Lu Yushi meant.

Lu Yushi stood in the emperor's team, but only one of his daughters married into the royal family, and married the emperor's biggest enemy, Prince Jin.

Lu Fangyao was obviously older than Lu Jiuwan, but she had not married yet, and it was impossible for her to meet him.

Everyone knew what this meant, she just wanted to enter the palace.

Lu Fangyao entered the venue wearing a gorgeous and charming dance costume, and looked at Lu Jiuwan arrogantly.

Not knowing whether she was proud or showing off, Lu Jiuwan was puzzled and continued to eat elegantly.

Many people below were whispering to each other, and most of them had a smirk on their faces.

In Nanjin, who doesn't know who? Everyone knows who is good or bad.

Just Lu Fangyao?

She is mediocre in every aspect. Dancing is her best skill, and her appearance is not outstanding enough.

This may be one of the reasons why the emperor did not choose her in the imperial concubine selection ceremony.

However, the emperor said that her sister had already married the emperor's uncle, and it was a bit inappropriate for him to choose Lu Fangyao as a concubine.

But the Lu family never gave up.

The music started, and Lu Fangyao started dancing.

In terms of dancing, she may not be as good as others, but she has a playful look in her eyes, and her ambition is fully revealed on her face. The music is well chosen, and with the dancing, she has a kind of stubborn and unyielding spirit. Overall, it is not bad.

"Well, you dance well. The queen is the best dancer. What do you think?"

Although the queen Xiao Ziying was born in a military family, she did not have the heroic spirit of a daughter of a military family, but was dignified and gentle.

"I think it's very good, and the dancer is beautiful, so I deserve to appreciate it."

Emperor Xuanyi nodded, "The Queen has said it, so it should be appreciated. Tell me, what do you want as a reward?"

Lu Fangyao looked at the Emperor shyly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, and the Queen Mother."

She hesitated shyly and murmured, "I want to appreciate it privately."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Jiuwan suddenly heard a very light laugh beside her ear.

She slightly side-eyed, not knowing what Emperor Xun was laughing at.

Emperor Xuanyi frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said to the people below: "I allow you to ask for the reward in private."

"Since you have made a good start, others should not be self-satisfied. Show your strengths and I will reward you generously."

The emperor's words were full of hints and coercion.

Naturally, many people stood up at the same time and expressed their willingness.

Of course they were willing. They learned various skills in the deep palace for such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. But no one wanted to be as thick-skinned as Lu Fangyao and stand up and say they wanted to show off.

So next, it was the daughters of each family who showed their strengths.

Chapter 43 Marriage

Originally, Lu Fangyao was secretly pleased with herself, and had already imagined the wonderful scene of asking the emperor for a reward in private.

But the emperor suddenly did this.

Everyone had a reward, so how could she ask for it?

One performance after another, each one was wonderful, as if they were rehearsed in advance.

Each one was better than Lu Fangyao's.

Emperor Xuanyi admired the performance with satisfaction, and praised each performance after it was over.

Lu Fangyao's face was extremely ugly.

Her father's face was even uglier than hers.

"I heard that there were beauties in Nanjin, but I didn't expect that all beauties were talented. Today is really an eye-opener." Ye Yunzhou raised his glass to the emperor.

Emperor Xuanyi said, "Your Highness, you are too modest. I have heard that the people of Beiling are talented and good at singing and dancing."

Ye Yunzhou smiled and said, "This is exaggerated, but the customs are indeed like this."

"Oh, that really aroused my curiosity. I must see it when I have the chance."

"How difficult is that? I have prepared a special gift for Your Majesty. Please accept it." He clapped his hands.

Outside the palace gate, a group of women dressed in white gauze entered the palace lightly.

The leader was dressed particularly conspicuously, wearing a veil, with a particularly complicated bun and a dazzling headdress. The same white gauze was more gorgeous. As she walked, the silver thread patterns on her clothes were looming.

They even had their own musicians. When the music started, they also started dancing.

Unique beauty.

The dancers were graceful, moving and changing positions, floating like fairies and stunning.

The stars were holding the moon, and the woman in the middle was spinning lightly.

As her body turned, the veil on the woman's face slipped down accidentally.

A face full of fairy spirit was exposed in front of everyone.

I was already dazzled by their dance, and now there was another big surprise.

Suddenly, there was a sound of gasps, which was the highest praise for the woman's appearance.

The veil on her face fell off, but the woman was not panicked at all, and she was still devoted to the dance.

Ye Yunzhou observed Di Xuanyi's expression and saw a flash of surprise on his face, and then he returned to calm.

He moved his eyes to Di Jiang again.

Dijiang was not watching the dance at all.

Instead, he was picking up the dishes seriously.

Dijiang did not move his chopsticks at all during the whole process.

Lu Jiuwan poked him from time to time, "I can't pick it up, help me."

Dijiang sighed inaudibly, but still picked up his clean chopsticks to pick up the dishes that she couldn't pick up, put them in his clean bowl, and pushed them in front of her.

Lu Jiuwan felt lucky, today's wave, all big names.

Watch TV while eating... watch the live broadcast.

It's really delicious.

After the dance, the woman stepped forward lightly to salute.

"The seventeenth princess of Beiling, Ye Yunqing, has met the emperor."

Oh~

Everyone was surprised, this is actually the seventeenth princess of Beiling?

Ye Yunzhou stood up with a smile.

"Your Majesty, my sister has been spoiled by my father since she was a child. She has a bad temper. She said she wanted to give you a surprise, so she showed up today. Please don't mind."

Emperor Xuanyi didn't blame him at all, and said gently: "It's okay, I'm thoughtful. I have said before that I will reward those who are willing to show their talents today. I wonder if the princess wants anything?"

Ye Yunqing has a soft appearance and seems weak, but her personality is not like that.

"A long time ago, Yunqing heard a lot of rumors about King Jin, saying that King Jin is talented in literature and martial arts, handsome and unrestrained."

King Jin is much more handsome and fascinating than her most exaggerated appearance.

She knows that many men are just superficial, cowardly and incompetent, and unattractive.

But the Prince of Jin was not. One glance and she knew he was not.

She did not dare to look at him, and even felt that her voice was trembling.

The Prince of Jin was sitting here. While she was happy, she was also suppressed by his cold aura. Her identity as a princess was dim in front of him, but the more so, the faster she felt her heart beat.

Ye Yunqing's words made the whole hall tacitly quiet down.

Ye Yunzhou frowned. Before coming, it was agreed that it was the emperor, but she changed her mind and chose the Prince of Jin.

All eyes turned to this side.

Lu Jiuwan inexplicably had a strange feeling in her heart. She couldn't figure it out. It seemed to be a little irritable.

It was as if she was suddenly pulled from an ideal and comfortable life into a tense and uncomfortable atmosphere.

She suddenly woke up.

It turned out that she was living in an ancient time that men could have three wives and four concubines.

She raised her eyes and looked at Ye Yunqing.

Looking at her from the side, she had a graceful figure, a soft profile, and a resolute temperament.

If such a woman stood with Dijiang...

She felt an inexplicable sour feeling in her heart.

She looked back at Dijiang and found that he had been looking at her with dark pupils.

She didn't understand what he meant by looking at her like this.

She wanted to say something, but she didn't say it when it came to her lips.

She suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and calmly looked back, like everyone else, as if she was looking at a lively person.

Ye Yunqing's words did not leave any ripples in Dijiang's heart.

All his attention was on Lu Jiuwan.

When their eyes met, he tried to see something in her eyes, and also thought about what she could say.

But, she just withdrew her gaze so calmly, like an outsider.

A sense of irritation instantly surged from the bottom of his heart, making his chest extremely depressed.

In the eyes of outsiders, the two of them were expressionless and indifferent, and they looked like outsiders more than any of them.

Ye Yunzhou observed the expressions of the two people and saw that Lu Jiuwan was not jealous and sad like ordinary women when she heard that her husband was going to marry someone else.

Either she didn't love him, or she was really generous.

However, he didn't believe that anyone was so generous.

That is not love.

A smile appeared on Ye Yunzhou's lips.

He stood up and bowed to Emperor Xuanyi, "Your Majesty, Nanjin and Beiling are both big countries, with rich resources and abundant people. They are the fat meat that other small countries have coveted for a long time."

"In recent years, these small countries have been very active, and their troops have become stronger and stronger. There is no guarantee that these people will not unite one day. By then, no matter whether it is Beiling or Nanjin, even if they can resist, there will be sorrow everywhere and the people will not live in misery."

"Why not unite the two countries in the north and south first, trade with each other, increase mutual trade, develop vigorously, and jointly resist foreign enemies."

Before Emperor Xuanyi spoke, many important officials in the court had already stood up.

"Your Majesty, what the Crown Prince said makes sense. In recent years, the border has been frequently disturbed. In the long run, the people living around it will not be able to live and work in peace."

"Your Majesty, I agree with the marriage. This is a matter of great benefit to both countries."

"Your Majesty, I also agree. Open trade between the north and the south is a very beneficial thing for both of us."

Horses, food, certain herbs, etc. are all things that Nanjin needs.

And Beiling also needs Nanjin's cloth, tea, porcelain, etc.

"The marriage between the north and the south is a happy thing for everyone, not to mention that the princess is as beautiful as a fairy, and she is a perfect match for the King of Jin."

"Yes, yes, yes. But the King of Jin already has a principal wife, and the princess is of noble status, this..."

"The princess is of such noble status and has made great contributions, so of course she can't be a concubine."

"Then what should we do?"

"Of course, the princess should be married into the palace according to the treatment of the principal wife and sit on the position of principal wife. As for the current princess, it is not without precedents of demoting the principal wife to a concubine."

No one involved said anything, and a group of ministers had already arranged everything.

Chapter 44 Strong

Emperor Xuan wanted to drag down these traitors and scoundrels and chop them all off.

Let Emperor Jiang and Beiling marry?

Wouldn't it strengthen his uncle's power? Then his plan would be greatly hindered, and even his years of planning would fail.

"What does the uncle think about the marriage?"

Emperor Jiang listened to the ministers' words and watched Lu Jiuwan's behavior with his remaining eyes.

She was not affected at all.

She was about to be demoted to a concubine, but she was still indifferent.

His irritability became more and more intense and turned into anger.

The full pot of wine was emptied without him noticing.

The wine glass in his hand was placed on the table with a "bang!" sound. When he took his hand away, the glass slowly collapsed.

The whole place was suddenly silent.

"When will it be your turn to interfere in my affairs?"

He raised his solemn eyes and scanned the whole place. The pressure around him was like the cold wind in the deep winter, which made people so cold that they could not speak.

The people who were just happily arranging things were like children who said something wrong. They all sat upright and kept their mouths shut.

Ye Yunzhou watched as if he was watching a good show.

It doesn't matter who he married.

As long as he could keep the person.

He would rather marry Dijiang to see how the woman would react.

He didn't believe she was indifferent.

"The prince and the princess have a deep love for each other, and I have no intention of marrying a concubine." He said word by word, to Lu Jiuwan, a woman without any conscience.

These words fell into Lu Jiuwan's heart word by word, like a dense drizzle, extinguishing the little bit of irritability in her heart.

Reaching out to take a grape, rubbed the skin with her fingers symbolically, and handed it to his mouth.

Dijiang lowered his eyes, and his white and tender hands gently pinched the grape and pushed it up to his mouth.

His eyes moved along her white and tender fingers to her face.

He found a look similar to admiration on her originally cold and calm face.

She appreciated his knowledge and interest, and took the initiative to refuse the marriage, so the grapes in her hand were a reward?

She thought she didn't care at all.

Seeing that he was only looking at her and not eating, Lu Jiuwan raised her hand again, moved it to his mouth, and almost forced it in.

Dijiang opened his mouth helplessly, bit it and ate it.

The tender grape skin was scratched between his teeth, and the sweet juice oozed out, and the anger in his heart dissipated in an instant.

In the eyes of the ministers who had just happily discussed Dijiang's life events, this action was no different from Daji?

Witch!

But they only dared to curse in their hearts.

When Lu Jiuwan fed grapes to Dijiang, Ye Yunzhou felt something entangled in his heart.

The grapes seemed to be fed to himself.

He looked at Lu Jiuwan with a certain firmness.

Di Xuanyi heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Dijiang's words, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

"The prince and princess also heard what King Jin said. King Jin is my uncle and elder, and I can't make the decision on my uncle's affairs."

"But I think the prince's proposal of a marriage between the north and the south is appropriate. It's just that as long as the princess is willing to choose the marriage, I will definitely make the decision on other matters."

Ye Yunqing didn't expect that she would be rejected.

She has thought about it a lot and will definitely not make any mistakes.

She also knew about the matter between the Emperor and Prince Jin.

The marriage is a good opportunity for Prince Jin to increase his chances of winning. How could he let it go?

Ye Yunqing couldn't figure it out, and neither could Ye Yunzhou.

Ye Yunzhou looked at Ye Yunqing and signaled her with his eyes not to ruin the big thing.

She suppressed the reluctance and regret in her heart.

"Your Majesty, Yunqing admires Prince Jin's literary talent and military strategy because Yunqing is a person who admires the strong. Yunqing likes the strong, not a certain person. As for the strong, Yunqing has a better candidate in mind, but he dare not speak out."

Everyone was full of doubts, who is stronger than Prince Jin?

Emperor Xuanyi frowned slightly, "Oh, who are you talking about, princess?"

Ye Yunqing took a step forward and knelt down, "Yunqing feels that no one in this world can compare to you, Your Majesty, when it comes to strong men."

Emperor Xuanyi's slightly wrinkled brows spread out, a hint of pride flashed across his eyes, and his face remained calm.

After a while, he said, "My words are as good as gold. I will definitely agree to the princess's decision on things that I can decide. Then I will issue an order to marry and confer the title of noble concubine..."

Ye Yunqing thanked him.

All officials congratulated, except the Lu family.

Lu Fangyao couldn't hold back and cried, and no one felt sorry for her.

The scene returned to harmony.

...

When entering the palace, it was bright outside, and the palace was shining in the sun.

When leaving the palace, the moon was high in the sky, and the moonlight was bright.

The lights in the palace were dim, but on this night, they were not as bright as the moonlight.

After Emperor Xuanyi left, most people agreed to leave the palace together.

When Emperor Jiang stood up, his hand was on Lu Jiuwan's shoulder.

When he stood up, she could see her shoulders getting shorter and shorter. Emperor Jiang was too heavy.

Halfway up, he swayed a bit.

Drunk?

That's right. She saw him drink one cup after another of wine without eating a single bite of food.

But after he stood up, he saw his eyes were clear again.

Forget it, there should be no need for support.

She stepped out.

But her hand was held by Emperor Jiang.

She looked at him, but Dijiang didn't look at her. He held her hand and walked out.

The palace maids who were serving today were still waiting outside to escort the two out of the palace.

"No need to escort them. This king knows the way."

"Yes." Several palace maids stopped and bowed their heads respectfully, waiting for the two to walk away.

Lu Jiuwan's hand was held, and she followed him with big strides.

But he didn't take the road that most people took out of the palace, but held her hand and walked along a small path.

"Why are you walking here? Taking a shortcut?"

Dijiang didn't say anything, but just held her hand silently.

When they finished walking along this small path, they entered a garden and were held by him to a spacious pavilion.

At this point, Lu Jiuwan clearly felt that Dijiang's temperament had changed greatly, as if he was drunk all of a sudden.

Seeing his body falling, she hurriedly hugged his waist and supported him.

"What are you doing? Are you drunk?"

Dijiang staggered two steps, took her back, fell down, and took her into his arms.

The moonlight shone obliquely into the pavilion, and the two were bathed in the moonlight.

Lu Jiuwan was covered with a layer of silver light, and the golden hairpins swayed.

Like a dream, beautiful and moving.

She was so beautiful.

She was so beautiful that his breathing became short.

He hugged her tightly.

Lu Jiuwan's waist was strangled by his iron arms, and she faced him with her chest sticking out.

I don't know what he wants to do, I guess he is drunk and crazy.

"Dijiang?"

"Lu Jiuwan, you are very brave, you dare to call me by my name."

As he said, he stretched out a hand and touched her chest, as if trying to find her courage.

Lu Jiuwan chuckled, covered the back of his hand, and moved his hand to her right chest, "My courage is here."

Dijiang was stunned for a moment, and then chuckled.

He pulled out his hand, held her slender neck and kissed her mouth.

He leaned on the railing behind him, and effortlessly held her in his arms and kissed her.

Lu Jiuwan lay in his arms.

Her mouth was rubbed hard by him.

She was extremely surprised.

Chapter 45 Why doesn't the king have a child?

This was her first time kissing Dijiang.

Before, it seemed as if his lips were a feast reserved for a certain white moonlight, and he couldn't touch them. He would turn his head away when he wanted to kiss him.

After one or two times, Lu Jiuwan no longer thought about his mouth.

This time, he was delivered to her.

His lips were hot.

He pressed hard against her lips.

There was a faint smell of alcohol on his lips.

It wasn't bad, he ate grapes and drank a few cups of tea afterwards.

There was a faint smell of alcohol.

But Lu Jiuwan couldn't accept it.

She reached out and pushed him.

Dijiang noticed her resistance, held her face harder, and pressed harder on her lips.

Lu Jiuwan was so angry that she opened her mouth and wanted to bite him.

'Bang! 'Like a ball of fireworks exploding in his mind, Dijiang's heart began to beat faster.

His lips and tongue deftly followed her open lips and entered.

It was as if he had discovered an incredible secret base.

He breathed rapidly, exploring eagerly and curiously.

The sudden stimulation startled Lu Jiuwan, and she relaxed curiously and felt it carefully.

Slowly, she didn't feel the smell of alcohol in his mouth.

All the strange smells disappeared, leaving only the ambiguous and intoxicated taste.

Under the moonlight, she lay in his arms.

Reached out and patted his chest.

Dijiang stopped by her lips and looked into her eyes closely.

The two of them breathed against each other, intimate and intimate.

"Be gentle, be slow, I can't feel it if I move too fast."

After saying that, she began to explore his lips.

Di Jiang responded lightly, his movements were gentle and lingering.

The slower he restrained himself, the heavier his breathing became, and the more impatient his body became.

The hand that held her face moved down to her waist, groping and kneading.

The kiss moved away from her lips and he pressed his lips against her neck eagerly.

Lu Jiuwan tilted her head back and closed her eyes to let him kiss her.

A slight movement under her hips made Di Jiang tense up, his eyes fierce.

"Just take it off, I said last time, I can sit on your lap."

Di Jiang was frightened by her again and quickly blocked her mouth.

After a while of impatient fiddling, the golden hairpin trembled...

The sound of moans and crickets mingled with the music.

"Be good, don't make any noise, someone is coming." Dijiang said, blocking her uncontrollable mouth.

Lu Jiuwan was a little nervous when she heard it.

The more restrained the two were, the stronger their feelings became.

Dijiang gritted his teeth and held her still.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer...

No matter how wild Lu Jiuwan was, she only did it in front of Dijiang.

Her body was tense.

Dijiang hummed secretly.

"Rong'er, you've been in the palace for so long, but you haven't gotten pregnant. Sigh~ This is the remedy for pregnancy that I finally got. You must keep it well and find a way to prepare all these medicines."

"Okay, thank you, mother."

"Now in the palace, the emperor has no children. If you can give birth to a prince, it will be your lifelong support."

"..."

The two came quickly, and after a few words, they left in a hurry.

After the suppression, there was a more crazy restlessness.

Child?

This word suddenly flashed in Dijiang's mind.

He reached out and touched her belly.

Some pictures appeared in his mind uncontrollably.

Lu Jiuwan was pregnant, Lu Jiuwan gave birth to a child...

...

Outside the palace, west of the city.

Ye Yunzhou looked at Ye Yunqing with a little anger, "It almost ruined the big thing today."

"Yunqing knows that I was wrong. I didn't want to marry a foreign prince. I just wanted to pick someone I liked. But I didn't expect that King Jin would refuse."

Hearing her say this, Ye Yunzhou's anger dissipated a little.

He softened his voice, "I didn't expect that from his perspective, he shouldn't refuse. No matter what, as long as you can stay here smoothly, you have completed half of the mission."

"There will be a big commotion between Dijiang and Dixuanyi soon, you must report their situation at all times. Beiling has made sufficient preparations. As long as they go to war, I will attack and take down Nanjin."

Ye Yunqing thought about Dijiang's appearance and felt that things would not be as easy as his brother thought.

"Yun Qing will report the situation regularly. My brother, be careful. King Jin doesn't seem to be an easy character to deal with."

Ye Yunzhou stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the moon in the sky, and spoke slowly with confidence, "Emperor Jiang and Emperor Xuanyi are not easy to deal with, so we have to let them fight, two tigers fighting each other, and when they are both injured, it will be a good time for me to take action."

...

Mu Bai and Yuan Cang were waiting outside.

Others went home to wash up and sleep.

Their prince walked over with the princess in his arms.

The two hurried forward, "Prince, what's wrong with the princess? Do you want to ask Lord Xie to come and see?"

Di Jiang: "No need."

Carrying the person on the carriage, just as they were about to leave, Di Jiang lifted the curtain, "After returning home, ask Xie Mingke to come."

"Yes."

Lu Jiuwan lay lazily in his arms.

The carriage stopped in Yunshu Courtyard, and Di Jiang carried her into the bathtub.

He gently rubbed her with his hands.

Thinking of what she said before that his hands were rough and hurt her, he raised his hands and looked at them. There was indeed a thick cord.

The movements of his hands became softer and slower.

Lu Jiuwan lay on the edge of the bathtub.

Lazy and weak.

The smooth and sexy back makes people linger.

His vision gradually blurred, and he stood up.

Water drops rolled down his body.

Lu Jiuwan turned his head, but he still didn't see anything.

He just felt his waist being hooked up by him...

"Didn't the prince come back a long time ago? Where is he?" Xie Mingke had been here for a long time, but there was no sign of the prince for a long time.

Mu Bai yawned, "I sent the princess to Yunshu Courtyard, wait for me."

"Why did you take so long to send someone?"

Mu Bai looked at him and smiled silently.

Xie Mingke understood immediately, "So what did the prince ask me to do? Count the time for him?"

Mu Bai's mouth just opened, his eyes caught a glimpse of the door, and he coughed hurriedly.

Dijiang wiped Lu Jiuwan clean, put her on the bed, and covered her with a quilt.

"I have something to do, so go to sleep."

Lu Jiuwan turned over weakly and closed his eyes as a response to him.

...

As soon as he returned to Yunhe Courtyard, he heard Xie Mingke's words.

"Why are you coughing when you are fine..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the prince walking in under the moonlight.

The prince only glanced at him and went into the house.

Xie Mingke shrank his neck and looked at Mu Bai complainingly.

Mu Bai was innocent, "I'm coughing, what else do you want from me?"

Yuan Cang crossed his arms and glanced at the two of them with boredom.

"Come in."

Xie Mingke pointed at Mu Bai, "I'm calling you."

Mu Bai looked at him with disdain.

Xie Mingke had no choice but to walk in sadly with his head down.

"Prince."

Dijiang looked at him with dark eyes.

Xie Mingke was frightened, it was over.

"Why doesn't the prince have a child?"

Xie Mingke was stunned, "Ah?"

Dijiang's pupils shrank.

Xie Mingke quickly straightened his posture and said, "Prince, you haven't given birth yet, where did the child come from?"

Are you crazy about having a child?

Where did you get the child?

Dijiang looked at him quietly and asked calmly, "Why doesn't the princess seem to be pregnant?"

Xie Mingke understood everything now.

"I understand what you mean. Well, there are many reasons why the princess is not pregnant, and there may be three main reasons."

Di Jiang frowned, and had his own guesses about why Lu Jiuwan was not pregnant.

One is that she has been training for many years and is in poor health.

Another is that she deliberately drank contraceptive soup.

Another is... my own problem.

"Explain it clearly."

Xie Mingke sat down and said slowly.

"The first point is that pregnancy depends on the right time. It's not that you will get pregnant just by having sex. Besides, you and the princess, uh, have had sex only in the past two months. You are a little too anxious. Besides, even if she is pregnant, it's normal to not notice it at this young age."

"Well, maybe the princess is pregnant, but she just hasn't noticed it? You can check it out tomorrow."

Xie Mingke:?

What did he say?

He didn't say the princess was pregnant?

What if she's not pregnant?

He smiled bitterly and said, "Prince, I just said it's possible, not that the princess is really pregnant."

"I said maybe, are you deaf?"

Xie Mingke: ...

"What else is there? Keep talking."

"The second point is that both parties may not be in good health, making it difficult for them to get pregnant."

Dijiang was silent for a moment and stretched out his hand.

Xie Mingke:?

What for?

Seeing that he didn't move, Dijiang frowned and said, "Take the pulse."

Xie Mingke took out the pulse pillow.

He wanted to say that it might be because the princess was not in good health, but the prince stretched out his hand himself.

Xie Mingke took the pulse for a long time, very carefully.

It took so long that Dijiang was a little impatient. x|

"Master Xie, did you give yourself the title of miracle doctor?"

Xie Mingke: "..."

"I just want to be more careful to avoid making mistakes."

Dijiang: "Is it my fault?"

"There is nothing wrong with your body."

"Also, the symptoms of your liver fire, irritability, and frequent red eyes are gone. Your pulse is calm and gentle, neither floating nor sinking... Your eyes are clear and bright, which shows that your internal conditioning is very good."

"But you must not indulge in excessive desires and damage your essence..."

Chapter 46 The princess is infertile

Di Jiang looked at him solemnly.

Xie Mingke shut up, "I've said too much, Your Majesty, you naturally know how to be restrained."

Di Jiang knew that it was not his problem, and his slightly frowned brows finally relaxed.

"What else is the reason?"

"The third reason...it may be that the princess took contraceptive soup."

"Contraceptive soup?"

Xie Mingke watched the pressure around the prince drop suddenly.

"This is just a guess. But Your Majesty, you know the identity of the princess." Isn't it normal to take contraceptive soup?

As soon as these words came out, the pressure on the prince dropped again.

Xie Mingke: ...

Accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger.

"Someone come."

Xie Mingke was startled. What did the prince want to do?

The servants outside came in.

"Bring the maids around the princess here."

"Yes."

Soon, Baizhu Baitao, the old nanny who often served, and several maids who served closely all knelt in front of Dijiang.

They didn't know why, and they knelt on the ground and trembled.

"Has the princess ever taken contraceptive soup?"

The group was stunned for a moment.

"I have never seen it."

"I have never seen it either."

"The princess didn't give any instructions."

"..."

Dijiang looked at Baizhu Baitao, "You two stay, the others leave."

The others breathed a sigh of relief and left in a hurry.

"Are you sure she hasn't taken it?"

Bai Zhu: "The princess has never drunk the contraceptive soup. The food and drinks she eats and drinks every day are prepared by the kitchen. The food that the princess asked the maids to buy outside was bought by Bai Tao and me personally. It was not the contraceptive soup."

Bai Tao was smart and guessed what the prince meant.

Bai Tao: "When the princess went out, Bai Zhu and I also served her closely. We didn't see the princess eating or drinking anything inappropriate."

"Although the princess often locked herself in the room, it was always in the afternoon." Therefore, even if she took it secretly, she didn't take it immediately after having sex, so it is estimated that it would have no effect.

"Didn't find anything suspicious?"

The two thought about it, and Bai Tao raised her eyelids.

Di Jiang noticed it sharply, "Speak."

Bai Tao didn't know if what she said would have any effect on the princess, and what the prince's reaction would be.

The prince asked them to serve the princess, and they served with all their heart and soul, and regarded the princess as their own master.

But in the final analysis, their real master is the prince, and they will never betray the prince.

Bai Tao: "Since I started serving the princess, I have never seen the princess have her period."

No period?

Di Jiang frowned, "What's the reason?"

He was asking Xie Mingke.

Xie Mingke pondered and said, "Women usually have their menstruation when they reach a certain age, and they can only conceive and have children after their menstruation. If a woman does not have her menstruation at a certain age, she is either pregnant or has a physical illness."

"There is another possibility..."

Dijiang looked at him.

"A small number of women have their menstruation once every two months, some once every six months, even fewer once a year, and some even never have their menstruation in their entire lives."

"Is this normal?"

"I haven't heard of anything abnormal. On the contrary, they are luckier than women who have their menstruation and do not suffer from the pain of menstruation."

Dijiang listened and waved his hand, signaling Baizhu and Baitao to leave.

He told Xie Mingke, "Take the princess' pulse tomorrow and see how she is doing."

"Yes."

...

The next day.

Ye Yunzhou and his party set off to return to Beiling.

Ye Yunzhou got on the carriage.

His eyes touched a book "The Queen and Her Charming Young Master" on the tea table in the carriage, and a scene of a woman throwing a shawl around a man's neck appeared under his eyes.

This scene always reappeared in front of him.

He opened the curtain and glanced at the people who were seeing him off outside.

King Jin stood in front of the ministers who were seeing him off, majestic and tall, full of nobility.

Such a man will eventually abandon her one day.

Ye Yunzhou clenched his fists.

He opened the curtain, got off the carriage, and walked in front of Dijiang.

Everyone was puzzled. They were all leaving. What else was there to say?

"Prince Jin, can you please have a word with me?"

Di Jiang's cold eyes were filled with thought. After a while, he raised his hand and gestured, "Please."

The two walked to the side.

Ye Yunzhou did not beat around the bush.

"Prince Jin will do great things in the future. By then, everyone around him will become a burden to you. How do you plan to deal with it?"

"Who is the crown prince?"

"Lu Jiuwan." Ye Yunzhou did not hesitate.

He did not understand why he, the crown prince of a country, would be attracted to a married woman.

Ridiculous.

But he could not control himself.

Except for the world, there was nothing else that he wanted to possess so much.

Dijiang narrowed his eyes dangerously, "Your Highness the Crown Prince seems to be very concerned about my family affairs?"

"I don't care about your family affairs, I care about a person. Now that we've come to this, I don't want to beat around the bush."

"If one day your Highness needs her, you can exchange her for something with me."

This made Dijiang angry, and his tone was cold, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is too confident. I never use women to exchange for something I want."

"Oh~really? I think your Highness is too confident." He smiled and said, then turned and left.

Dijiang stood there, watching his back as he left.

The carriage team set off.

He stood still.

If he didn't leave, others wouldn't dare to leave either.

Everyone waited quietly.

After a long while, the prince turned around and strode away.

The painted building by the lake.

In front of Emperor Jiang, a dozen people, led by Mu Bai and Yuan Cang, stood respectfully.

"Mu Bai, take them to Beiling in person to check Ye Yunzhou and confirm whether the edict is in his hands. The people of Qiansi Pavilion are at your disposal. Put aside everything in your hands and confirm the whereabouts of the edict as soon as possible."

Everyone was stunned.

Qiansi Pavilion is an organization established by the prince.

Everyone knows that Qiansi Pavilion is a commercial joint sect that has done business in all countries in the world. Half of the rich businessmen in the world have connections with Qiansi Pavilion.

These people are very smart, support each other, and have a very stable relationship.

Joining Qiansi Pavilion is the dream of businessmen.

But in fact, Qiansi Pavilion is more powerful because it is the most well-informed place in the world.

Qiansi Pavilion's merchants are all over the world, and they can quickly get any information.

At the same time, Qiansi Pavilion cultivates all kinds of talents and masters, recruits soldiers and horses, and the real identities of all kinds of sects in the world are actually people from Qiansi Pavilion.

But even such a well-informed organization did not find the news of the edict.

There were clues many times, but in the end, the clues were broken.

The prince rarely ordered him to do something so solemnly.

Mu Bai knew that this time there might be reliable news.

His eyes were firm and his tone was solemn, "Yes!"

"Remember to be careful, Ye Yunzhou is not a simple person."

"Yes!"

...

Yunshu Courtyard.

"Princess, the prince invites you to Yunhe Courtyard."

It was noon, and Lu Jiuwan thought he was asking her to have lunch.

Unexpectedly, she only saw two people.

"I have met the princess." Xie Mingke stood up and saluted.

Lu Jiuwan waved and sat down, "What's the matter?"

Di Jiang looked at her calmly.

Thinking of Ye Yunzhou's words.

What would he choose if that day came?

Thinking of Lu Jiuwan's temperament.

The corners of his mouth curled up sarcastically.

With her temperament.

Ye Yunzhou thought too much.

She couldn't let herself become a commodity for exchange.

It wasn't something anyone could get if they wanted it.

Lu Jiuwan should know how to protect herself better than he thought.

Thinking of this, his inner annoyance instantly dissipated.

He felt happy.

He lowered his eyes, picked up the teacup, and said, "Master Xie, come and check my pulse, and let him check your pulse as well."

Lu Jiuwan looked at Xie Mingke.

Chinese medicine, this is a Chinese medicine with real skills.

I wonder if the poison in her body can be taken out?

The toxins in her body have been almost expelled.

The antidote she was researching was a little bit off, but she didn't like to move or care.

Anyway, it was fine as long as her body was fine.

But even if Xie Mingke revealed it, it wouldn't matter. She had no secrets in front of Dijiang.

It was Dijiang who saved her last time she had an attack.

He knew everything anyway.

"Come on." She showed her hand and placed it on the table beside her.

Chapter 47: Transmigrating into a Selected Body

Xie Mingke put down the pulse pillow, put a piece of hand silk on her hand, and sat opposite her to carefully check her pulse.

Silent, serious, and rigorous.

A moment later, a look of surprise appeared on her face, which was incredible.

He glanced at Lu Jiuwan, and Lu Jiuwan also looked at him. Did he diagnose it?

Dijiang saw the interaction between the two.

No words were said.

After a moment, Xie Mingke withdrew his hand.

"How is it?" Dijiang asked.

Xie Mingke pondered for a moment, "There is nothing wrong with the princess's body. Please forgive me, princess, I dare to ask you, do you not have your period, or do you only have it once in a long time?"

Lu Jiuwan nodded, "Well, is this normal?"

"Normal."

Lu Jiuwan looked at him questioningly, "Nothing else?"

Xie Mingke: ...

Even if there is, I can't tell you in front of you, this is a secret.

Although now the prince does not seem to treat you as a killer, but as his own wife.

The prince has his own plans, maybe the prince seduced the princess with his beauty, and the princess is on the prince's side now.

The prince also asked him to study the antidote, doesn't this explain his guess in his heart?

But the prince did not say anything, and they did not dare to treat the princess as their own.

"Although there is no major problem with your body, your body is damaged and it is difficult to get pregnant. I will prescribe some medicine for you. You may feel much better after a period of recuperation."

Do you want to take Chinese medicine?

Lu Jiuwan frowned.

"No, I am fine."

Xie Mingke: "Yes, your physical condition is fine for the time being, but if you want to have a child, I am afraid you still need to recuperate."

Lu Jiuwan's face brightened when she heard this.

If you are healthy, you don't need contraception.

Isn't this body tailor-made for her?

Strictly selected for traveling through time.

Lu Jiuwan was very satisfied.

"Who wants to give birth to a child by themselves?"

Di Jiang's face darkened.

Anyway, she didn't want to take Chinese medicine, so she stiffened her neck and retorted, "You want it?"

Di Jiang looked at her without saying anything.

Lu Jiuwan knew he was angry again when he saw his dark face, and he gave in.

"Why do you want a child? You have an emperor..."

Okay, he may really have a throne to inherit in the future.

But...

When he really becomes the emperor, there will be many people to give birth to him, so why rush.

Thinking of this, she was even more reluctant to give birth.

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was getting more and more wrong.

Xie Mingke was trembling with fear, and advised the princess, "Princess, even if you are not trying to get pregnant, you still need to take care of your body. If you don't take care of it, the physical deficiency will become more and more serious over time, and the older you are, the harder it will be to take care of it."

"Prepare her medicine."

Lu Jiuwan has his own medical space, and he can treat any disease when the time comes.

It's so annoying.

Xie Mingke bowed to Dijiang with interest and said softly, "Yes, I'll take my leave first."

"Prepare the medicine and send it to me in the evening."

"Yes."

Lu Jiuwan looked at Dijiang indifferently, "What do you want to do? I don't want to have a baby."

Dijiang was more and more certain that Xie Mingke was a quack doctor, and he couldn't even diagnose his recent discomfort in his chest.

"Do you not want to have a baby or do you not want to have one for me?"

"No one wants to have a baby."

"Why?"

"It hurts." When she thought of having a baby, she thought of countless troubles, "It's very troublesome. Pregnancy, giving birth, raising, and educating, which one is not troublesome?"

Di Jiang: "I will raise and educate my child."

"You can also give birth?"

Di Jiang's face darkened...

Seeing his dark face, Lu Jiuwan still stubbornly expressed his meaning, "Giving birth is life-threatening. Maybe the baby will die on the delivery bed before it is born. I won't do it."

It goes without saying how bad the birth environment was in ancient times.

Although she had space for a medical operating room, it was impossible for her to give birth.

I don't want to get pregnant, I don't want to experience the pain of childbirth, I don't want to raise a child, and I don't want to teach him.

Di Jiang suddenly had nothing to say in response. She was right.

But how can a woman without children in the royal family gain a foothold?

She didn't understand, she didn't understand anything.

There was only the word "willful" all over her body.

"No matter what, take care of your body first, and talk about other things later."

"I don't want to take the medicine, it's bitter."

Di Jiang was angry, "I'll ask someone to prepare candied fruit for you."

"...I won't drink it." She felt like a little kid arguing with her parents, a little childish.

"Lu Jiuwan, this is my last bottom line." He looked at her.

Lu Jiuwan stopped arguing with him, and looked at him quietly, with stubbornness in her eyes and face.

After staring at him silently for a long while, and making sure that she didn't see any hope of giving in on his face, she stepped out.

Dijiang looked at her silent back and pinched his brows with a headache.

He thought that if he really had a child in the future, and it was as difficult to discipline as she was.

He suddenly felt that it was good not to have a child.

Lu Jiuwan returned to Yunshuyuan with heavy steps.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.

This was the second time she came back from his place with an empty stomach.

The next time he called her, she would ask what it was.

She would not go unless it was for dinner.

...

In the evening, Xie Mingke came with several large bags of Chinese medicine.

When she saw Dijiang, she put the medicine on the table.

"When I took the princess' pulse today, I made another discovery."

"Tell me."

"The poison that was eating away at the princess' body is probably almost cured."

Di Jiang stopped flipping through the book.

Xie Mingke: "There are only slight signs of poisoning in the body. I'm afraid she took the antidote."

"Where is the antidote that I asked you to prepare?"

Xie Mingke didn't expect that someone would make the antidote before him, and he felt a little unwilling.

"It will be soon, at most three days. But the princess can no longer use it, do you still want to continue?"

"Continue, it works."

"Okay. Your Highness, do you know who cured the princess's poison? In less than a month, the heart-eating poison in the princess' body was almost completely eliminated. It must be a hidden master."

Xie Mingke was excited and really wanted to meet this master immediately.

He has never met anyone stronger than himself in his life.

The masters who had learned from him before were no longer his opponents.

Dijiang ignored his words and changed his mind.

"I don't know. Maybe by chance he ate something and it cured the poison. Go to the pharmacy and tell the servants to boil the medicine."

Xie Mingke: "..."

What happened to cure the poison?

Is this a joke to a three-year-old child?

The prince must know something, but he won't tell him.

Xie Mingke was itchy and wanted to know who it was, "Does the prince really not know?"

Dijiang looked at him and said, "Go boil the medicine."

Xie Mingke stopped talking in annoyance, took the medicine and left.

...

The dusk deepened.

Yunshuyuan.

Lu Jiuwan was writing a novel at her desk, making up a sad story for Pipa Qu to add bricks and tiles to her retirement coffers.

In the night, a tall and majestic man walked slowly, expressionless.

Behind him followed Yuan Cang, Mu Bai, and a little maid, who was holding a tray with a bowl of steaming dark brown medicine and a plate of preserved fruit.

Walking along.

All four of them frowned.

Di Jiang thought that if she didn't listen to her tonight and refused to take the medicine, he would force her to drink it.

Thinking of the scene where he had to force her to drink, his brows were tightly locked.

Chapter 48 Drinking Medicine

The three people behind frowned because the medicine smelled bitter and smoky.

Mu Bai sighed in his heart.

Those who knew that the prince was concerned about the princess's health.

Those who didn't know thought that the prince was going to torture the princess.

"Greetings, prince." The maids guarding the door saw Di Jiang hurriedly bowing and smelled a smell of medicine from a distance.

"Where is the princess?"

"My prince, the princess is writing inside." ×|

Di Jiang walked straight in.

Mu Bai and Yuan Cang stood outside, and the little maid followed Di Jiang with a tray, carefully, for fear of spilling it.

Lu Jiuwan: ...

I could smell the medicine from a distance.

Is Dijiang trying to poison her?

Dijiang walked in and saw her sitting on a chair. She turned her head and looked at him quietly with grief in her eyes.

He sat aside and said, "Put it down."

The maid put down the tray and took out the medicine and preserved fruit and put them on the table.

Dijiang raised his eyelids and looked at her indifferently.

"Come here."

Lu Jiuwan sat there motionless.

The two stubborn people looked at each other. If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move.

"Go down."

The little maid was panicking. The princess didn't listen. She was afraid that she would become the prince's punching bag.

The prince asked her to leave, and she was delighted and said goodbye respectfully, "Yes."

The maid left, and there were only two people left in the room.

Quietly.

"Come here." His tone was a little gentler.

Lu Jiuwan took a deep breath and stood up irritably.

Walking to the table, he glanced at the thick medicine on the table, and his face was very resistant.

"Can't I not drink it?"

"No."

"I'm not sick."

"This is a medicine for conditioning the body, which is good for your body."

"I'm as strong as an ox."

"... Shut up and drink it."

"Many women are willing to give birth to babies for you, you..."

"Lu Jiuwan."

Lu Jiuwan shut up, and his face was very bad.

"You want me to take a concubine? I'll find a few more. You won't even have a chance to drink the medicine. They can kill you quietly. Who can you beat?"

With her stubborn and arrogant personality, and her poor way of hiding her identity, she would have died in another place.

She can protect herself, but that's just on the surface.

The women in the palace are the most vicious in the world.

Lu Jiuwan: ... I shot them one by one. Eh, that's not right! Why was I still here with you at that time? I was gone long ago.

"Do you still want me to find a woman?"

Lu Jiuwan didn't say anything. Forget it. What if she didn't leave by then?

She was afraid that she wouldn't survive more than two episodes of palace fighting.

Although she is good at fighting and has guns and cannons.

But she is worried that these things will not play any role in the palace struggle.

"Huh? Talk."

"No, I am not talkative by nature."

"... Hehe, drink the medicine, just drink it for two months, once a day."

Lu Jiuwan's body trembled, and her eyes went dark, "Two months!"

"Xie Mingke said that you are in poor health, and two months is the shortest period."

"I... two months?" Lu Jiuwan looked at the medicine on the table again, "Can it be less?"

"No."

"Less."

"No."

"Less."

Dijiang: ...

For a moment, I was a little dazed, and I didn't know why I was sitting here bargaining with her.

"A month and a half later, I'll let Xie Mingke diagnose me. I'll stop drinking when I feel better." "Anything less." One and a half months was far beyond her limit. "Lu Jiuwan, do you think this king is a good bargainer?" Lu Jiuwan didn't care, "One month at most." Forget it, people have to lower their heads under the eaves. If you are young, you can see nothing wrong with your body. I wonder if it will become harder to use as you get older. When the time comes, I will feel pain here and there, and it will be very annoying to take medicines and injections every day. Just drink! Chinese medicine is awesome! "You won't see any results in one month. Two months is the lowest bottom line. One and a half months is my bottom line." "Lower your bottom line." Her eyes were bright and full of expectation. Di Jiang almost laughed angrily.

But she agreed to drink anyway, and Dijiang's originally gloomy face quietly calmed down a lot.

Seeing his face eased, but still didn't say anything.

Lu Jiuwan stood up.

Walked in front of him.

Put his hands on his shoulders.

Sits in his arms.

Observed his expression quietly with the rest of his eyes.

Leaned in his arms and said unpleasant words, "If you agree, I will drink, if you don't agree, I won't drink for a month."

Dijiang lowered his eyes and looked at her unique and unique behavior of flattery.

Angry and funny.

"You are so brave to threaten me."

While saying this to her, he brought the medicine on the table over and put it in front of her, "I agree, drink it for a month first and see, drink it."

He held her in his arms, holding the bowl in one hand and stirring with a spoon in the other, and scooped a spoonful.

Although the negotiation was successful, Lu Jiuwan immediately felt sick when the black medicine juice was poured to her mouth.

Depressed.

Depressed because she didn't have the courage to drink the medicine.

Depressed because of being smoked.

Seeing her hesitation and distress, Di Jiang was puzzled, "Are you so afraid of taking the medicine? I'm not going to kill you. Drink it in one gulp."

The medicine was already fed to her mouth.

Lu Jiuwan closed her eyes, inhaled, and carefully moved forward as if she was going to die.

Seeing that she was right, Dijiang fed her a spoonful of medicine.

The bitter and smelly medicine made Lu Jiuwan frown and want to vomit.

Seeing that she was in pain and wanted to vomit, Dijiang quickly put the spoon back into the bowl and lifted her chin.

"Don't vomit. If you vomit, I will ask someone to boil another bowl for you."

Lu Jiuwan's chin was lifted by him and the medicine went down her throat.

Bitter, more bitter than her life.

Seeing that she swallowed it, Dijiang picked up a date from the table and fed her, "Eat one?"

Lu Jiuwan opened her mouth and ate it.

Chewed it twice, but it was useless.

Her mouth was bitter and astringent, like chewing garbage.

Just finished eating.

Dijiang scooped another spoonful and fed it to her mouth.

Lu Jiuwan took another deep breath, closed her eyes, and drank it.

Ugh~

Dijiang felt a little sorry for her when he saw her in so much pain.

I don't know what she was like before...

Yes, she wasn't her before.

What kind of life did the real her lead before?

Have you ever been injured or sick?

Is taking medicine as painful as being injured or sick?

"Since you are afraid of taking medicine, don't get injured or sick in the future."

Another mouthful of medicine was fed into Lu Jiuwan's mouth.

As expected, she had suffered too much in life, so she couldn't bear the bitterness of this medicine at all.

Damn!

It was so bitter for her!

Bitter, bitter, bitter!

Lu Jiuwan grabbed the bowl from his hand and drank it all in one gulp.

Bitter again!

Let him suffer as much as she can!

I don't know if you can make me miserable!

Her movements were a bit big, and Dijiang leaned back to give her some space for her crazy arrogance.

After Lu Jiuwan finished drinking, he took the bowl from her hand and put it back on the table.

He looked at her with interest.

Someone was pushed into a corner and this is how they behaved?

Lu Jiuwan was bitter in her heart, and felt that the whole world was a huge medicine jar, and she was just a medicine inducer.

After finishing the medicine, Lu Jiuwan wanted to get up from him.

Dijiang held her waist to prevent her from moving.

With his other hand, he pinched her chin and turned her face towards him.

She drank the medicine too quickly, and there was a light brown medicine stain at the corner of her mouth.

Chapter 49 I want to run away as soon as I see Dijiang

"Is it so bitter?"

Pinching her chin, he gently kissed off the medicine stains on the corners of her mouth.

Fortunately, it's not too bitter.

A light flashed in Lu Jiuwan's eyes.

When he evacuated, she hooked her arms around his neck tightly and kissed him hard.

Dijiang's head retreated.

Lu Jiuwan hugged him tightly, chased him with her mouth, and kissed him again, not letting him run away, determined to share the pain with him.

Dijiang frowned slightly, and pursed his lips tightly.

Lu Jiuwan tried to pry open the edge of his lips, but failed to pry them open for a long time.

Frowning unhappily, he raised his eyes and looked up, meeting a pair of dark eyes that stared at him deeply, with a hint of teasing in them.

She paused on his lips, stared back silently, and moved her eyebrows.

Dijiang saw that she was hinting at him, but he didn't understand.

The next moment, he felt a sting on his lips, and quickly understood what Lu Jiuwan meant.

Helpless, his tightly closed lips slightly opened with indulgence.

Lu Jiuwan cunningly slipped in.

This was a kiss full of bitterness.

But in the end, the bitterness was gradually replaced by the pleasure brought to the body by the rise of hormones.

The atmosphere slowly became lingering.

From that day on, Lu Jiuwan lived in trouble every day, and wanted to escape as soon as he saw Dijiang.

...

In the room.

In addition to Dijiang, Dixun and Xie Mingke, there were seven or eight other people.

They sat in different places, looking serious.

Xie Mingke said worriedly: "The autumn hunt is coming soon, and you must be careful this time. This is his best chance now, and he will definitely do his best to trap you in the hunting ground."

This is the first time that Dixun feels uneasy, and there is worry between his brows.

Ever since he knew that his father left a will for his brother to succeed him, he had only one idea, that is, he must help his brother take back the throne.

In this fight, he could die at any time.

What he least wanted to see was his brother getting hurt.

He was the only person he was close to in this world.

The people in the room were silent. To the prince, the hunting ground was a trap set by Emperor Xuanyi. He knew it was a sea of ​​fire and swords, but he had to go through it.

Inside the room, a burly man with a fierce face reported, "Prince, the people we arranged can no longer enter. The emperor sent heavy troops to guard the outside of Yanbei Mountain a month ago and closed the mountain. He said that he was worried that the people would enter the mountain and get hurt accidentally during the autumn hunting. In fact, he knew that you would definitely send people in in advance to meet them."

Yanbei Mountain is the royal autumn hunting ground.

It stretches endlessly and is unfathomable. Even wild geese will get lost if they fly over it.

There is only one entrance to Yanbei Mountain, and there are cliffs outside the entrance.

There must be another entrance on the other side of the end of the deep mountain, where it borders Yanbei Mountain, but who can cross from there to provide support?

Ordinary people are like mountains, and can only stay on the edge.

There are many beasts, snakes, insects, rats, ants, miasma and poisonous gases inside.

And it is impossible for Emperor Jiang to send people in to provide support a month ago. It is a blessing to be able to survive in the mountains, not to mention the ability to provide support.

In addition to these, there are traps specially set by the emperor waiting for them.

This trip, I really want them to die without a doubt.

Everyone knew that there was no one to provide support, and they had to face such a dangerous environment, so they were silent.

"Are you scared?"

Emperor Jiang swept everyone.

"How is it possible! If you are afraid, you are not a real man. How could I be afraid? I am not afraid of fighting on the battlefield and killing enemies, so why would I be afraid of a small forest?"

"We have experienced all kinds of dangerous situations. It's just a return of wild geese."

"Every one of us here can resist thousands of troops. Even if we die, we will definitely protect the prince. There is absolutely no way we can be afraid."

This group of people either fought on the battlefield and survived, or fought in the rivers and lakes and risked their lives to get to where they are today, or experienced great hardships and hard training...

In short, none of them is a simple person.

Maybe it is difficult to let them know that life is difficult, but it is easy to let them know that survival is simple.

Di Jiang listened to their excited rebuttals calmly, and only spoke when they calmed down and looked at him firmly.

"This time in Yanbei Mountain is different. It is not a head-on confrontation. We have to defeat more than just beasts. There are traps, ambushes, killers who are no worse than you, and more unexpected troubles. Everyone, don't take it lightly. This time we have only one goal, which is to get out alive."

"Yes!"

"During this time, you go to Huxiao Mountain, intensify your training, and get familiar with the jungle survival environment."

"Yes!"

After everyone in the room left, only Di Xun and Di Jiang were left standing by the window.

"Xiaoxun, this is his best chance. He will focus all his energy on me. I will send someone to protect you. Don't go deep. Come out when the time comes. Prey is not important. Protect yourself."

Emperor Xun felt a little uncomfortable. In fact, he envied ordinary families with harmonious families, parents alive, brothers and sisters respectful, but he was born in the imperial family. As long as he was alive, it was wrong.

"Brother, I will be careful. You have to come out well too. We haven't avenged our mother yet."

"Yeah."

Looking at the lakeside scenery outside the window gradually entering autumn, Emperor Jiang was a little distracted.

More than two years ago, a powerful enemy invaded the southern border.

After years of recuperation in the Southern Jin Dynasty, the brave and combative generals of the year were already old. Facing such a large-scale invasion, no one in the court dared to fight.

Dijiang asked for permission to lead the Southern Jin army to fight against the enemy.

Entering the battlefield, he was a young eagle, strong and powerful, brave and sharp, fearless and decisive.

In just one year, he defeated the enemy army and won a great victory.

However, before the joy was digested, the sorrow had already come.

His father died of illness, and his mother was buried with him.

Something unexpected happened in Southern Jin.

The defeated enemy army suddenly became more aggressive, like a hungry wolf, with greener eyes, step by step, approaching the prey tentatively, waiting for the prey to relax a little, and then they would pounce on it and bite it madly.

Two imperial edicts were quickly delivered to Dijiang.

One of them named him the King of Jin, giving him a noble status second only to the throne.

A decree was issued to appoint him as a brave general, allowing him to continue to stay at the border to ensure the stability of the former dynasty.

It was his eldest brother who issued the decree.

He didn't believe that his mother had him and Xiaoxun, and now he was at the border, his mother was worried about him, and it was impossible for her to be buried alive with him.

His mother didn't love his father that much.

All the love was just to allow them to survive safely in the harem.

Another year passed, and he led the army into the enemy's border, captured the city, and finally quelled all the chaos.

He had been on the battlefield for only two years, and when he returned, everything had changed. Both his parents had died, and the palace he had lived in was full of dust.

After returning, he began to investigate the truth behind his mother's death.

Half a year after he came back, his elder brother passed away and Emperor Xuanyi succeeded to the throne smoothly.

During this half year, he also found out the truth of some things.

Chapter 50 Woman, you asked for this.

Before my father died, he left a will, asking him to inherit the throne.

My mother died on the same day as my father, poisoned to death.

It is self-evident who did all this.

Fortunately, Xiaoxun was smart and did not act on impulse, nor did he investigate without authorization. He just studied hard and worked hard to improve his skills, so he was able to protect himself.

As soon as Emperor Xuanyi came to power, he couldn't wait to put people around him. After several refusals, he finally agreed.

After Lu Jiuwan entered the mansion, he was indeed much cleaner around him.

Everything was going in the direction he expected.

Except Lu Jiuwan.

From the day her personality changed drastically, she was no longer within his expectations.

He was sure that she was not Lu Jiuwan.

Something very strange must have happened. Maybe she had two souls in her body, and the former her was replaced by the current her. I have also heard that after someone is injured, he will become a completely different person.

But he is more inclined to the former. He is more willing to believe that she is another soul.

He no longer hates her.

But he is always vigilant.

Unless it is done.

On the one hand, he guards against her, and on the other hand, he takes her into his own scope, treats her well, pampers her, and can't help getting close to her.

He is conflicted.

But he can tell the difference.

Which is more important.

The throne, revenge and her, all are indispensable.

Determination and contempt flashed in Dijiang's eyes.

Even if he can't get the edict in the end.

He also wanted to get these three things.

...

Back to the palace, go straight to Yunshu Courtyard.

As soon as he reached the door, he asked, "Did you drink it?"

Bai Tao opened her mouth hesitantly.

The princess quietly poured the medicine into the fish pond, and was caught by herself, and she also told herself not to tell the prince.

The princess said that it was okay to drink less for a day, and today would be a day off.

So, is she saying now or...

"No, the princess poured the medicine into the fish pond."

Princess, I am also doing this for your own good, please don't blame me.

"Prepare the medicine again."

Bai Tao immediately said cleverly: "Prince, the medicine has been prepared, just waiting for you to come back."

"Bring it here."

"Yes."

Enter the house.

Lu Jiuwan was writing something.

The tired body suddenly felt a little relaxed when seeing her.

The heart has a place to go.

When Lu Jiuwan heard the sound behind him, he didn't turn around and concentrated on doing his own thing.

He looked down at what she wrote, 'Woman, don't get angry, or you will have to kill it yourself, and you are not allowed to complain about being tired.'

Dijiang:...

"Did you take the medicine today?"

Lu Jiuwan didn't even raise her head, "I did."

He continued to write without stopping, 'The man gritted his teeth, his eyes were red, and he pinched the woman's waist and said fiercely: "Woman, you asked for this."'

Dijiang:...

"Did the fish die?"

"No."

The tip of Lu Jiuwan's pen paused.

"Woman, you asked for this. I'm giving you this sentence now."

Bai Tao was carrying medicine in, and Di Jiang glanced at her head lightly.

Lu Jiuwan smelled the medicine, turned around and saw Bai Zhu holding the medicine with her neck shrunk like a quail, burying her head and not daring to look at her.

"Drink the medicine."

Bai Tao mustered up the courage to bring the medicine to the princess, and sent her hand forward.

Lu Jiuwan sighed and muttered, "Traitor."

Bai Tao felt wronged.

She was the prince's person.

So she was not a traitor.

Di Jiang kept staring at her.

Lu Jiuwan took a deep breath, took the bowl, let out a breath, took another deep breath, and then buried her head and drank it all.

Put the bowl down with a 'bang'.

As if very tired, panting and wiping her mouth.

Brokenly and tenaciously, she said, "Okay, I've finished drinking it, that's all."

Di Jiang smiled faintly, "Yeah, very good."

"Let's go, don't disturb me while I'm writing."

Di Jiang seemed to have heard nothing, took a book from her desk, and took it aside to read.

Lu Jiuwan stopped and looked at him.

"Why aren't you leaving yet?"

Di Jiang didn't move, flipping through the book leisurely, "I'm at home, where else should I go?"

Ever since she asked her to drink the medicine, her attitude towards him has become completely cold.

She chased him away as soon as he came.

Lu Jiuwan had never seen him begging for money, so she laughed disdainfully and continued to write.

She yawned and went to bed until she was tired.

Dijiang was still sitting there reading a book. There were beautiful women in the book. He was addicted to looking at beautiful women.

After a while, he finally put down the book, walked to the bed, took a look, and got up to go out.

Lu Jiuwan was surprised in her sleepiness.

She actually left?

In her sleep, her body was hugged by someone, and the warm breath hit her forehead.

Dijiang put one hand behind her neck and the other hand on her waist.

Originally, he just wanted to hold her to sleep.

But she may have rejected him too much recently.

The softness in his arms was particularly tempting. He couldn't help but touch her everywhere, wear thin clothes, and pinch her.

She was still sleeping, her brows slightly frowned, her lips slightly opened, and she breathed in and out gently, like a blooming orchid exuding a sweet and light fragrance in the night.

The restlessness in his heart still could not be relieved.

He lowered his head and kissed her sweet and soft lips.

A wet and hot kiss fell on his body.

Lu Jiuwan was awakened and squinted his eyes.

He met the bright eyes of the 'gentleman' in the dark night.

He was looking at her.

"You woke up, just right."

"What's good?" Lu Jiuwan asked half awake and confused.

"Together."

Lu Jiuwan's heart skipped a beat.

Was she possessed by someone's soul?

Seeing her wake up, he no longer suppressed himself and tore off her clothes that had long been in disarray...

Lu Jiuwan had deliberately made trouble for him these days and didn't let him sleep here.

After abstaining from sex for several days, both of them sighed at this moment.

...

Half a month passed.

Lu Jiuwan asked someone to move the imperial concubine chair to the corridor outside, and lay on it leisurely to read novels.

She also asked Bai Tao to take the short story of Pipa Qu to the boss of Fengyuezhai, and she took two more stories to him during this period.

It caused enthusiastic pursuit and imitation.

She seemed to have set off a novel craze.

Recently, many interesting story books have appeared in Nanjin City.

A short breeze blew, and Lu Jiuwan raised her hand to feel the air.

There was a cool breeze in the wind.

Autumn is here.

"Princess, the third lady is here to visit." A maid came to Yunshuyuan to report.

"Who is it?" Lu Jiuwan looked at the red leaves on the treetops without turning her head.

As time passed, she felt more and more uneasy.

Autumn always feels like a desolate and miserable season.

Such a good day is actually limited in time.

What a pity.

Baizhu: ...

Baitao: ...

The maid choked, "It's Madam Lu San, she said she is your biological mother."

A charming woman's face flashed through Lu Jiuwan's mind, and she remembered.

"What is she doing here?"

Baizhu: "... I don't know, I just said I haven't seen you for a long time and I miss you. She is your biological mother, it is normal for her to come to see you, and we can't ask."

"Let her in."

"Yes."
