The year Yan Xingchuan successfully rebelled, he made his cousin empress, and even promised never to establish another empress in this life before her death.
Cui Si was his principal wife, wh...
Chapter 314 Invitation
The relationship between an emperor and his wife has never been equal. The emperor is the master of the world, and the empress is first his subject and then his wife.
"As long as he's willing to give, I'll have everything I need. If he's not willing to give, then marrying him will be like a cage that'll trap me for the rest of my life. Even if he wants me to bow down and become his concubine, I can't divorce him and return home."
"He said he would protect me for the rest of my life. I believe him for now, but I don't dare entrust my future life and death to him. So, I'll just wait and see how long he can do that."
"If he can tolerate it, then let's just go on like this. If he can't, then we can go our separate ways. I have nothing to do with him."
Being a couple with him is really too terrible, because he has the ability to abandon her and hurt her at any time, and she just wants to keep the opportunity to get away at any time.
If his attitude changed, she would turn around and leave.
If she had to blame someone, she could only blame himself for having chosen that path in his previous life. Now, no matter how sincere he was or how solemnly he swore, as long as he held the power, she would not believe him and would not give him this opportunity.
And there is a saying that goes, what you can't get is always the best.
Yanzhi felt that these words were wrong. This was not how a couple should be.
There is no such couple in the world.
But Cui Si was no longer willing to explain: "Let it be. I have made up my mind. You don't need to persuade me anymore."
"You and Song Lu are the people I trust the most. I'm telling you this just so you know what's going on. As for any problems that might arise in the future, as long as I'm alive, I'll always protect you."
Things have come to this point, and Yanzhi could only nod reluctantly.
.
Song Lu first called Yanzhi back to serve, and then went out of the courtyard and went to the cross-courtyard.
She was stopped at the gate of the courtyard. Yun Gang smiled and spoke to her, "It's you. Is there something wrong?"
"Hello everyone." Song Lu bowed, thought for a moment, and found an excuse, "Princess Wang is not feeling well and wants to see you, my Lord. I came here to ask. If you are free, I will go and see you."
"Really?" Yun Gang saw her hesitating and was a little unconvinced, so he looked at her several times.
Song Lu held his breath and glared back angrily, "Why do you care so much? Who knows what's going on between the two of them? I've already said it, go and tell the master, if he wants to go, then go. If he doesn't want to go, then don't go."
He has quite a temper.
Yun Gang sighed inwardly and asked her, "Song Lu, who provoked you?"
"Who cares who provoked me? If you ask again, it's you who provoked me."
Well, Yun Gang simply stopped asking, but he still wanted to find out some information: "Then can you tell me how Princess Wang is doing? Why did she suddenly want to see the Lord, and at this time..."
"Maybe he's still drunk."
"Still drunk? I see. Fine, I'll go and inform them right away."
Song Lu hesitated to speak, and in the end she didn't say "Let him take a bath before going". Seeing Yun Gang turned around and went back into the yard, she bit her lip, turned around and left quickly.
As she walked, she kept repeating to herself, "It's better not to go." "It's better not to go."
When Yun Gang came into the room, Yan Xingchuan was also taking a shower.
She is a person who likes cleanliness. These days when he is with her, he has been more careful and takes a shower when he sweats, so as to avoid being covered in sweat and smelling like before and making her disgusted.
Yun Gang knocked on the door outside the dormitory.
"What's the matter?" he asked from inside.
"My Lord, Song Lu just came and asked you to go to Princess Wang's place?"
"What's wrong?" Yan Xingchuan hurriedly washed, got up, put on his clothes and walked out.
He was so fast that Yun Gang was almost hit by him.
Yan Xingchuan asked again, "What happened over there? What happened to Wang Ji?"
"Nothing... nothing..." Yun Gang took a deep breath, then said, "I heard Song Lu said he was still drunk and wanted to see the master, so I came to ask the master if he wanted to go and see him."
"Want to see me?" Yan Xingchuan was surprised for a moment. Usually, he was the only one who would eagerly approach her, but she never wanted to see him.
But he was only surprised for a moment, and without time to think about it, he took a coat and put it on. He didn't even have time to change his shoes and walked out in his clogs.
The two courtyards were originally separated by only a wall, and he could reach the destination by turning a corner after going out of the gate. He walked fast, and no one in the yard stopped him, so he soon arrived in the courtyard.
Yanzhi and Songlu were standing in the corridor of the main house, talking in low voices. They heard the sound of wooden clogs, turned around, and saw that it was him. Their expressions were a little subtle.
After a long silence, he bowed his head, took two steps to the side, and said nothing.
Yan Xingchuan glanced at them and walked into the house.
Seeing that everyone had gone into the house, Song Lu pulled Yanzhi's sleeve, bit her lip and stamped her feet, looking anxious.
Yanzhi pried her hands apart and sighed, "Alright, this is the Master's choice. Even though it's not right, the Master has carefully considered it and weighed the pros and cons. We just have to comply."
"Ever since Mr. Jiang left, the master has been unhappy. She has no interest in anything and is not very angry. Since she feels so happy, let her do as she pleases."
"Okay." Song Lu let out a deep breath. She really couldn't understand why her master, who wanted to be with the master and have a child, was unwilling to get married.
She reached out and scratched her hair, feeling like she was about to grow a brain.
"Rouge, my head itches."
"Then go back and ask someone to help you wash up. I'll be waiting here."
"No, no, no, forget it." Song Lu immediately shook his head when he heard it, "I'd better stay with you."
"But you said, should we just wait here?" Song Lu asked hesitantly. After all, this was the first time they had experienced this and they really didn't know how to serve.
Yanzhi also hesitated: "How about you go inside and serve?"
Song Lu immediately shook his head: "I'm not going."
How embarrassing.
"Then I don't want to go either." Yanzhi didn't want to go either. "Just wait here. If Madam wants us to serve her, she will call for help. If not, we won't bother to get in the way."
There are also taboos to be avoided between maids and male masters. Although Cui Si believes that they don't have any thoughts and they themselves don't have any thoughts, there are still some things that need to be paid attention to.
At this point, Yanzhi also reminded Songlu: "When the master is around, don't rush into the house so noisily. If you run into something, just be...be as careful as you would with the old lady."
Speaking of Old Madam Xu, Yanzhi sighed again, very worried: "I hope that when the old lady knows about this, she won't be too angry, otherwise it will be a big trouble."
