The first two small worlds are completed.
Jiang Ziyi's life was marked by infertility; she never had her own child and passed away at the end of her natural life. Unexpectedly, she obtain...
"Do you want to go out of the palace with me?"
Jiang Ziyi seemed to suspect that she had misheard. Leaving the palace? She hadn't even left the palace yet, so how could she be going straight out of the palace? She suspected a trick.
"Your Majesty, Ziyi feels very good here and doesn't want to leave."
"But I want to go out for a walk with you."
Jiang Ziyi: ...
"Then I will obey your Majesty."
Since we want her to leave anyway, why bother with all those roundabout ways!
Jiang Ziyi was very aware of the situation. After all, this was someone else's territory, and since the emperor had said so, there was certainly no reason to refuse.
"Five days later, when the wound on your face has healed, I will take you out of the palace to see you."
After saying this, the emperor left.
After Eunuch Lin came back with the imperial physician and applied medicine on Jiang Ziyi's face, Jiang Ziyi stopped him when he was about to leave.
"Eunuch Lin, His Majesty said he would take me out of the palace for a stroll in a few days. What's the deal?"
Eunuch Lin:!!!???
Xiao Linzi was shocked. Oh my God, are they going to lose the bet? What happened to His Majesty? He was very confident in guessing His Majesty's intentions, but since the arrival of the Princess of Shen, he couldn't see through His Majesty's intentions.
Eunuch Lin could only smile awkwardly and say, "Your Highness, there's no need to prepare anything. His Majesty always travels incognito when he leaves the palace. You only need to dress simply and elegantly, not to attract too much attention. As for the rest, it's hard for me to guess."
Jiang Ziyi nodded as if she understood, "Oh~"
If that's the case, then she should have the opportunity to ask the emperor's name. She can't just go out and call him "Your Majesty", right?
"Okay, thank you, Eunuch Lin." Jiang Ziyi smiled and handed Eunuch Lin a jewel bracelet. Her father had given her a large dowry to save face, so it was just right to use it to make some arrangements.
When Eunuch Lin saw the bracelet, he accepted it with a smile and secretly praised Jiang Ziyi for being very sensible.
"Then I will take my leave. Your Highness, please take good care of your injuries for the next few days. If you need anything, please speak to the guards at the door."
Seeing this change in attitude, Jiang Ziyi thought, as expected, no matter where you are, the feelings of liking someone may change, but people's love for money will never change.
Jiang Ziyi was tired after a morning of work and was ready to take a break, but Caiyun Cloud and Xia were kneeling on the ground and refused to get up.
"Your Highness, it's our fault that we are useless! That's why Your Highness got hurt. Please punish us!"
Jiang Ziyi felt a bit of a headache looking at the two sisters.
"Hurry up and get up. Today's incident has nothing to do with you. Concubine Duan brought more people than us. There is nothing we can do if we are held down."
"But......"
"Get up quickly, or I'll be angry!" Jiang Ziyi pretended to be angry.
Caiyun Cloud and Xia quickly stood up, fearing that Jiang Ziyi would really get angry.
"Although you haven't been with me for long, you know me well. I will never treat those who are good to me unfairly, and I will never let go of those who are bad to me."
"Today's incident happened suddenly. It's not your fault." Jiang Ziyi comforted softly.
"Woo woo woo! Your Highness, I swear I will never betray you!"
Caiyun Cloud and Xia cried like two little cats. Jiang Ziyi raised her hand and touched their heads. "Okay, okay, stop crying, I'm hungry. Go find me something to eat."
After the commotion in the morning, Jiang Ziyi was indeed hungry. She was also slapped three times today. Fortunately, the emperor came to support her today, so she slapped him back twice as hard on the spot.
But her face is very swollen now, so she can only drink some porridge.
Fortunately, the ointment prescribed by the Yaoguo imperial physician was very effective. Jiang Ziyi's face healed quickly, and it was almost fully recovered after just three days. After five days, there was no trace left at all.
Today was also the day the emperor was going to take her out of the palace. She got up early, and Caiyun Cloud and Xia helped her change clothes. She put on a waist-length skirt and put on some elegant makeup. She looked very simple and low-key, like an ordinary official's daughter.
"Our master is as beautiful as a fairy whether she is dressed gorgeously or simply!" Caiyun praised Jiang Ziyi after she finished dressing up.
Caixia also nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Jiang Ziyi smiled and said, "You two are the only ones who are talkative."
I was still very happy in my heart. After all, no woman doesn't like to be praised for her beauty. After a while, the eunuch leading the way arrived.
Since it was an incognito visit, Caiyun and Xia could not accompany Jiang Ziyi today. The eunuch leading the way led Jiang Ziyi to the palace gate, where the emperor, dressed in his attire, was already waiting. Jiang Ziyi was wearing a light blue waist-length skirt, and the emperor was also wearing a blue round-necked robe. The two looked like they were wearing matching outfits.
The emperor in the dragon robe before looked majestic and mature. Although he was not very old, there always seemed to be an age barrier when they stood together.
The emperor in casual clothes looked a lot younger, and his handsome face had a dandy air.
Jiang Ziyi felt much more relaxed at the thought that she could go out for a walk freely today. She had been in solitary confinement ever since she came into this world, and it almost made her depressed.
So she skipped all the way to the emperor and asked, "Where are we going today?" There was an innocence on her face that was brighter than the moonlight.
The emperor was puzzled. He had clearly left her alone in the empty room and become a laughing stock in the palace, and even bullied Concubine Duan because of it. Could it be that she didn't bear any grudge at all? He increasingly suspected that Jiang Ziyi was sent by the State of Shen to assassinate him.
They were not the only two traveling today. Although they said they were traveling incognito and did not allow Jiang Ziyi to bring a maid with him, he had stationed many secret guards around him.
He wanted to give her a try.
"You'll know when the time comes." He didn't answer her question directly. If she had no other intentions, he would take her out for a walk. If he found out that she had other intentions, he would send her to hell.
Of course, Jiang Ziyi now had no idea that the emperor in front of her had such terrible thoughts.
Just replied obediently: "Okay~"
After leaving the palace, there was a not very conspicuous carriage outside. After all, the main purpose of today's trip was to keep a low profile.
After getting on the carriage, there were only the emperor and her in the carriage. Apart from the sound of the wheels, it was surprisingly quiet.
Jiang Ziyi felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so she spoke up.
"Your Majesty, what should I call you outside?"
"Is it my husband... or is it?"
"My surname is Ji and my given name is Chen An. You can just call me Chen An." He answered very quickly, as if he was afraid that she would call him husband.
"Then Your Majesty, please call me Ziyi."
She was still thinking about how to pry out the name of this damn emperor, but now, it was effortless, he told her directly.
Originally, she asked what to call him casually. She didn't want to call him husband, it was too corny! Just calling him by his first name was perfect!
