LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 56: Revealing old scores?
After the emperor's decree to confer a concubine was issued, naturally everyone in the court knew about it.
When Ji Yucang heard the report, he didn't have any special reaction on his face. He only gave an order: "Send someone to ask the Queen Mother for instructions and ask her to select two more severe nuns to go to the Duke's Mansion to recruit the Pope's new concubine."
"yes."
"After the new concubine enters the palace, her words and deeds are related to the dignity of the royal family and cannot be ignored."
"Subordinate, go right away."
Ji Yucang put his hands behind his hands and looked at the huge palace. After a moment, he turned around and entered the inner courtyard, heading straight to Jinlin Courtyard.
It was noon, and Lanzhi and her maid had already started preparing lunch. Ji Yucang stepped into the door, and Shen Ning had just changed her clothes and walked out of the inner room, ready to have a meal.
"It's a coincidence that I'm here to have lunch with you." Ji Yucang sat down in front of her and then said, "I will stay in your room tonight."
Shen Ning slowly raised her eyes: "You didn't even come here on the wedding night, what are you doing here tonight?"
"I didn't come on my wedding night, and I didn't see you complaining." Ji Yucang said in a calm tone, "Why are old scores being raised tonight?"
"This is not an old score." Shen Ning lowered her head and ate her food, thought for a while, and then said: "At this time, it is not suitable for us to have overly intimate behaviors."
Several maids in the room lowered their heads, some of them not used to the princess's straightforward way of speaking.
Women have always been ashamed to talk about matters in the boudoir, and even if they did, they would do so in private with their husbands.
Not only did their princess have a cold temper, she was even less shy than her daughter.
"Why?" Ji Yucang asked.
"You know it in your heart." Shen Ning raised her hand to screen the maid away, not because she was ashamed to discuss it in front of others, but because some words should not be heard by anyone, "First of all, I have made it very clear today. If I want to develop an antidote for you, You must ensure that you are a virgin. Secondly, if you cannot guarantee that you will live long, you should not put me at risk of having a child at this time."
child?
Ji Yucang was startled, not expecting that their chat would suddenly involve children.
However, after thinking silently for a moment, he actually felt that...if he could really have a child with her, it would be an extremely happy thing and something he looked forward to.
Ji Yucang suppressed the throbbing in her heart and said with a little dissatisfaction: "So, my marriage is the same as my marriage?"
Shen Ning raised her eyes: "So you want to divorce your wife?"
Ji Yucang looked into her dark and calm eyes and was slightly startled for a moment. His usually cold expression showed a bit of tenderness.
"I have no such idea at the moment." Ji Yucang raised the corners of his mouth, but his tone was domineering and tough, "If you marry me, you will be my wife for the rest of your life. Unless I die, you will not have the chance to leave."
Shen Ning nodded: "So you still want to grow old together with me."
This is a statement of fact, not a question.
Ji Yucang's heart moved slightly. Hearing these four words one after another today really gave him an irresistible sense of anticipation: "If you want to say that, it's okay."
"In this case, you have to ensure that you live first." Shen Ning put down her chopsticks and told him seriously, "Ji Yucang, we are husband and wife. Although for the time being, I don't regard you as the closest person in my life, and I dare not give you anything. You make no promises, but we are allies and I want you to live."
Ji Yucang said: "Who is the closest person in your life?"
Shen Ning looked slightly startled and shook her head slowly: "No."
She doesn't have the closest.
The people she once thought were relatives and loved ones all betrayed her mercilessly. Not only did they betray her, they even hated her and tortured her in the most cruel ways.
Where are the closest people in her life?
"If I use your medicine, can I become the closest person in your life?" Ji Yucang asked, "After all, your blood may be flowing in my bones and blood."
Shen Ning's expression paused slightly, and then her eyes became a little subtle.
Ji Yucang raised his eyebrows: "What?"
Shen Ning's tone was calm: "It sounds like I gave birth to you."
Ji Yucang: "..."
"As long as you don't betray me, don't plot to kill me, don't count against me..." Shen Ning said the same thing, "I can treat you as the closest ally in my life."
There has probably never been a woman in this world who would say so frankly and frankly in front of her husband that she considers him an ally.
The husband is God, and women should obey him.
What's more, the regent has such a high and powerful position, and his princess is not only a wife, but also a minister who married into the royal family. She really shouldn't regard her husband as her ally.
But Ji Yucang actually enjoyed it.
"Okay, allies are allies." He nodded slowly, "I know you are hiding something in your heart and don't trust men very much. I will give you time to make you willing to accept me."
Shen Ning's eyebrows were filled with deep thought: "Can I ask you, what do you like about me?"
"You will know later." Ji Yucang picked up the chopsticks and picked up the food for her naturally, "Let's eat."
Shen Ning didn't ask any more questions.
She is not a person who wants to get to the bottom of things. If the other party wants to say it, she will say it. If she doesn't want to say it, she won't force it.
"There's one more thing." Ji Yucang's voice was low, but with a sense of conviction that people couldn't ignore. "No matter where you are in the future, no matter what happens, you must ensure your own safety. Even in times of crisis, I can also help you with regicide, and other things are not worth mentioning. "
