Song Jiaren decided to pretend to be asleep. The hot breath sprayed on her neck, causing her sensitive skin to get covered with goose bumps. Her eyelashes trembled as she closed her eyes.
Gu Zhen closed his eyes tightly and controlled the urge to continue. He couldn't scare her. He helped her lie down on the couch, turned sideways and hugged her, gradually calming the heat in his body.
The next day, Song Jiaren opened her eyes and stared blankly at the tent above her head. She seemed drunk last night. Actually, in modern times, she could drink quite well, two or three bottles of beer was no problem. She had seen them drinking one glass after another on TV dramas before, and she thought it was just the same alcohol content as beer. She had never expected it to be so high! It must be over 50 degrees!
I just felt the spicy wine pouring down my throat, burning all the way to my lungs, and then the world started spinning. The aftermath was too painful to look back on.
Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took her back to the room in time, but... later she was tricked by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and took advantage of him?
No, she has to comb her hair carefully.
Suddenly, she felt something move beside her. She turned around slowly and was faced with a cold and indifferent face. The sleeping face of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so close to her that her heart skipped a beat as if it was out of control.
She seemed to be bewitched, and leaned over and kissed him on his thin lips, letting you fool me while I was drunk.
Suddenly he opened his eyes, without a trace of sleepiness in them. It was obvious that he had just woken up and was just resting his eyes.
Gu Zhen said softly, "It's still early, why don't you continue to sleep?"
Song Jiaren said softly, "We are at the city lord's house. It's not good to sleep in."
"Nothing, weren't you drunk last night?" Gu Zhenzhuang mentioned it casually.
Song Jiaren moved away slightly, trying to break free from his hot embrace, not daring to look at the Crown Prince's lazy face any longer.
Gu Zhen raised his eyebrows, a smile flickering in his eyes. "Are you planning to default on your debt?"
"Who...who is refusing to pay!" Song Jiaren retorted anxiously, "Besides, it was obviously you who took advantage of me."
Gu Zhen moved closer. "Really? Huh?"
Song Jiaren closed her eyes, feeling the breath spraying on her nose and lips, and heard him say in a low voice, "Then I'll let you take it back."
After saying that, they pressed their lips together, conquering her without mercy.
There was a knock on the door. I guess it was Lotus coming to help me wash up.
Song Jiaren was startled, and was really afraid that He Hua would suddenly push the door open and push the Crown Prince down, who had turned over and supported himself on her without her knowing.
He crawled up and got dressed, letting Lotus at the door come in.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still lying lazily on the couch, his clothes seemed to be torn open, revealing a large area of his chest, and his hair was a little messy.
This monster usually looks cool and noble, but I didn't expect he would be like that when kissing.
Not long after, Zhihua also came into the room with a washbasin to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wash up. Her eyes seemed to be glued to him, and she looked completely bewitched by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Song Jiaren chuckled, feeling a little unhappy. He took advantage of her at night and seduced others in the daytime. She gritted her teeth secretly, thinking that the next time he took advantage of her, she should bite off his tongue.
Pooh.
Gu Zhen had long since put away the expression he had when he was alone with Song Jiaren, and returned to his cold and unapproachable demeanor. He watched the woman glare at him and then storm out, not understanding why, thinking that she was still obedient when she was drunk last night.
The city lord and his wife were waiting in the front hall. When they saw the woman brought by His Highness came by herself, they sat down and waited together. His Highness the Crown Prince followed later.
Luo Zhen couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Your Highness, is this yours?"
Gu Zhen looked at Song Jiaren. The woman still didn't know what she was angry about. She pouted and didn't look at him.
"What's wrong?"
Luo Zhen smiled awkwardly, "I'm just a little curious. It's rare for His Highness to have a servant by his side."
"She is not the type to serve." What Gu Zhen wanted to say was that she didn't know how to serve anyone at all.
The city lord and his wife misunderstood, thinking that His Highness meant that she didn't need to serve him because of her status. They looked at each other in shock. This person was actually the future Crown Princess?
Without hesitation, he apologized for getting her drunk last night.
The mayor's wife said apologetically, "I'm so sorry. I made you drunk last night. I wonder if you're feeling unwell this morning?"
Song Jiaren saw her expression change. There was a huge difference between last night and this morning. Even the apology on her face seemed much more genuine. "It's okay. I underestimated my alcohol tolerance."
The city lord came out to play Tai Chi, pretending to scold his wife and saying, "Send some silk and jewelry to apologize to the young lady later."
The lady nodded repeatedly, saying that she would have to take out all her treasures to express her apology.
Song Jiaren always had an expression that said, "There's no need for this, no need to be so polite," indicating that she didn't need any compensation.
I can't bear it if the city lord and his wife don't give them something, I feel uneasy, and I am afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will have a grudge against them in the future.
Gu Zhen originally wanted to set off for the camp today, but when he saw the maid serving Song Jiaren bringing a bowl of hot sugar water, he thought that she might be feeling unwell and should not overwork.
"After dinner, I will accompany Your Highness for a walk." Luo Zhen suggested, and he also wanted to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince see the current appearance of the city.
Song Jiaren wanted to go and looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince expectantly. She hadn't been shopping on the street for a long time. This time the city lord and his wife wanted to make it up to her, so why shouldn't she accept it happily?
So, led by the city lord and his wife, Gu Zhen and Song Jiaren went shopping in the city, followed by He Hua and Zhi Hua.
Song Jiaren recalled that the last time she had such a leisurely stroll was in Jiangbei. Before she had time to stroll properly, she met Yue Nu, who was selling herself to bury her father. She wondered if this was still popular in Luobian City.
Gu Zhen had been paying attention to Song Jiaren. Seeing her rich expression, sometimes regretful and sometimes excited, he couldn't help but ask, "What did you think of?"
Song Jiaren was wearing a veil and asked in surprise, "You saw everything even with a veil on?"
Gu Zhen's eyes swept across the face under the veil. Under the hazy cover, he could imagine a beautiful smile, mischievous and charming, just by guessing.
"Stop it."
Song Jiaren was seduced by his magnetic and deep voice. She blinked to steady her beating heart. He was indeed a demon.
The city lord's wife led them into a shop that looked luxurious and grand. On the counters on both sides were placed jewelry such as pearls, jade, gold, hairpins, necklaces, rings, earrings, etc. The pearls and jade were displayed in a dazzling manner.
Song Jiaren looked at them one by one. She actually didn't like these headdresses. She always felt it was troublesome. She didn't dare to move them casually when she put them on her head.
The city lord's wife picked up a set of gold and jade jewelry, a hairpin, a necklace, and earrings. "Miss, do you think this set looks good?"
“It’s pretty.”
"Yes, this fashionable style is suitable for you young girls, and it will look good when you wear it outside." The city lord's wife waved her hand, and the shop owner smiled and ordered the servant to deliver it to the mansion immediately.
"Let's go look somewhere else."
"OK."
Song Jiaren followed the city lord's wife to visit jewelry stores and silk shops. When asked if her daughter looked good, she said yes. The city lord's wife then had the girls sent to the mansion. Although she felt a little sad about spending so much money, when she thought that if her daughter caught the prince's eye, she might have to live in the same house with this girl and see them every day, the money she spent would not hurt after all.
Song Jiaren stopped at a roadside stall where some sparkling ornaments were displayed. Many people were dazzled by the dazzling light and would go over to take a look, but no one bought them. Firstly, they were not made of gold, and secondly, they were not made of pearls or jade.
Ordinary people still want to buy some jewelry that can be converted into cash in the future.
However, Song Jiaren chose after much deliberation a diamond bracelet that she liked. Small round diamonds were inlaid on the bracelet, shining brightly under the dazzling sunlight.
"Girl, do you like this?" The city lord's wife was puzzled. She didn't think the shiny bracelet was that pretty. It turned out that only girls of this age would like shiny things.
Song Jiaren recognized that the things on this stall were very valuable in modern times. They were diamonds, but people in ancient times didn't seem to recognize them. This diamond bracelet reminded her of modern times. Sometimes she was afraid that if she stayed in ancient times for too long, she would be assimilated and forget that she was actually wearing a book.
"This bracelet is very beautiful." Song Jiaren put the bracelet on her hand.
Gu Zhen took out a purse from his sleeve and asked, "How much is this?"
The stall owner said, "One tael of silver."
Song Jiaren finally understood what modern people say, that men look the most handsome when they take out money. Now when she looks at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who is paying for her, she feels aura surrounding her head, so handsome!
"Thank you, dear." Song Jiaren thanked with a flattering smile.
Gu Zhen wondered, "What is dear?"
Song Jiaren wore a diamond bracelet from Buling Buling and said, "It is the person closest to me."
The closest person? Gu Zhen nodded. He was indeed the closest person to her. This title was very good.
An endless supply of silks, satins, and jewelry was delivered to the City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord's wife's eyes twitched as she paid the bill, but she had to put on a smile. She was gritting her teeth in her heart, and she would vent her anger only after her daughter married the Crown Prince!
She also blamed Luo Zhen for forcing her to apologize. If it was just an apology, why would she need to spend so much money? This was all her dowry money.
When they first came to Luobian City, Luo Zhen wanted her to take out the money to help the people. She cried and made a fuss before she escaped. Unexpectedly, she still took it out and used it now!
Zhihua sat on the couch and comforted her mother, "Don't worry, this money won't be wasted. Today, His Royal Highness has seen that our family is honest and decent, and we have some financial resources. His Royal Highness must be short of money now, otherwise why would he only spend a few ounces of silver on that broken stone?"
The city lord's wife thought about it for a moment and felt that what her daughter said made sense. She had indeed never seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have any other valuable things, not even accessories.
She suddenly remembered that there was an ancestral jade pendant in her dowry, which she was reluctant to give to Luo Zhen. Now it would be nice to let her daughter give it away.
"Hua'er, find a chance to give this jade pendant to His Highness."
Zhihua looked at the emerald green, cool, and round jade pendant in her hand and asked, "What is this?"
"This is a jade pendant passed down from my mother's family. It's extremely valuable. Find an opportunity to give it to His Highness. Such a priceless item will naturally catch his eye."
"But... I'm just a maid now."
"Well, you should dress nicely tonight, let your father introduce you formally, and then you can apologize voluntarily. This can be regarded as an apology." The city lord's wife smiled and was proud of her good plan.
Zhihua thought that her father would introduce her to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the evening. Would His Royal Highness think she was pretty?
