Liu Zhiyi hadn't eaten snail noodles for a few days, and she couldn't help but eat two bowls. After finishing, she felt her stomach was so full that it seemed like it was about to burst.
So, they decided to go for a walk in the corridor hand in hand, just to help digest their food.
The autumn wind is blowing, and the air is filled with the pleasant fragrance of flowers.
The sunlight shines through the eaves onto the ground, forming patches of mottled light and shadow.
The breeze gently brushed against their cheeks, bringing a touch of coolness and comfort. The two of them walked side by side, chatting and laughing about trivial matters, feeling particularly relaxed.
Before they knew it, half an hour had passed. They felt sleepy and slowly returned to the dormitory.
After entering the dormitory, the two of them lay down on the bed, ready to take a nap.
Song Hanchuan buried his head in Liu Zhiyi's collarbone, with his tall nose pressed against her slender, white neck. He smelled the faint fragrance on her body and enjoyed this rare moment of tranquility.
After a while, the sound of even breathing could be heard in the room, and the two fell asleep in each other's arms.
Before I knew it, it was afternoon.
Song Hanchuan was going to meet with several court ministers at his home to discuss state affairs.
Liu Zhiyi, along with her personal maids Yun'er and Xia'er, got into a low-key yet exquisite carriage and sped towards the agreed teahouse.
Today is the grand opening day of the teahouse she and her good friend Chen Ningzhu jointly invested in!
The two had agreed early in the morning to come to the scene in person to witness this special moment.
Yun'er picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea for Liu Zhiyi, and gently pushed it in front of her.
"Madam, your wedding day with Master is in three days. Why aren't you in a hurry at all? You're still bothering with the trivial matters of opening a teahouse."
Liu Zhiyi rolled his eyes helplessly.
She has told the two maids around her more than once that men and career are equally important to a woman.
But they still don't understand.
For them, the idea that men are superior to women and the husband is the head of the wife is something that is ingrained in their bones and is difficult to change.
Simply waved his hand perfunctorily,
"Your family will take care of the wedding arrangements. I just need to wait to be my bride."
Yun'er twitched the corner of her mouth.
That's true, what bride doesn't embroider her own wedding dress? It usually takes one or two years to embroider it.
My own wife is so good. Not to mention the wedding dress, I didn’t even see her embroider a single stitch on the veil. All of this was embroidered by the master himself.
Some time ago, she ran into her own husband, Qingfeng Langyue, who was holding a long embroidery needle in his red hand.
Sitting beside the bed, while watching over his wife who was sleeping soundly, he was seriously embroidering the veil that his wife would use for her wedding.
From time to time, he looked up at the person on the bed, his eyebrows were affectionate and there was a smile on the corners of his lips.
The scene was so beautiful that she didn't dare to look at it.
I really envy the lady for being able to marry such a strong and affectionate man like you, who loves her and whose heart and eyes are filled with her husband.
Liu Zhiyi didn't know what Yun'er was thinking. At this moment, he was taking the beauty wine handed to him by Xia'er and eating it while peeling the skin.
Meirenzui is a tribute to the royal family. It is a seedless grape the size of a pearl with thin skin and tender flesh. It is produced in the south of the Yangtze River. It cannot withstand transportation and will go bad with the slightest touch. It is very delicate.
But because of its excellent taste, sweetness and juiciness, it is very popular among nobles.
Often, several carriages of beauty wine would be transported to the capital, but only one basket could be picked out.
So every year during this season, the concubines in the palace would often fight each other to the point of bloodshed just to get a string of beauty wine.
Now that Jiang Xuanyan had slaughtered the Jiang Kingdom's royal family, Liu Zhiyi had benefited greatly. She already had over a dozen of these rare beauty intoxicants in her room.
Song Hanchuan sent two strings, the prince's eldest princess each sent two strings, and Chen Ningzhu also sent her five strings.
What we are eating now is specially chilled by the maid. It is icy cold, sweet and juicy, and really delicious.
Liu Zhiyi was enjoying his meal when the carriage suddenly stopped. The master and his two servants didn't notice and stumbled at the same time, almost falling to the ground.
Fortunately, I reacted in time and grabbed the car wall at the critical moment, barely able to sit still.
But the plate of beauty wine worth a fortune, the several plates of exquisite pastries, the finest white pomelo tea cups and so on on the table were not so lucky.
At this moment, they all fell into the carriage, making a crisp sound.
The drunken beauty was smashed into pieces, rolling everywhere, and the porcelain was broken into pieces.
Liu Zhiyi looked at the mess on the ground, and his forehead couldn't help but throb. He felt pity in his heart and frowned unhappily.
Yun'er's temper exploded immediately and she yelled out of the car,
"You're going to die! How can you drive a car like that? How many lives do you have to pay for hurting my lady?"
The driver hurriedly apologized.
"Madam, please calm down. This person suddenly appeared and blocked our way. I was afraid of hurting him, so I..."
"Hey, you traitor, you're afraid of hurting outsiders, but aren't you afraid of hurting our wife?"
Liu Zhiyi patted the little girl's shoulder, signaling her to be patient, then cleared his throat and said,
"Who stopped the car?"
Running out on the street to stop the carriage, is he trying to scam people or is he trying to kill himself? Liu Zhiyi expressed his confusion.
"Madam, it is..."
"Xiaoyi, it's me. I'm here to ask for your forgiveness."
The driver had just begun to speak when he was interrupted by a familiar voice. This was the voice Liu Zhiyi would never forget.
In an instant, she felt a surge of nameless anger rising in her heart, burning her brows and making her frown lower and lower.
He pushed open the door coldly and looked up to see Pei Yunchu, who was thin and pale, kneeling precariously in front of the carriage, with his upper body naked and a bramble on his back.
When he saw Liu Zhiyi appear, his empty peach blossom eyes suddenly became bright and shimmering.
His eyes were extremely pious and full of expectation.
"Xiaoyi, it was indeed my fault that I caused you to fall off the cliff that day. I was wrong. Today, I have specially carried a cane. You can punish me as you please, and I will not fight back."
Liu Zhiyi's patience was exhausted.
Last time, he caused her and Song Hanchuan to fall off a cliff. Although they were not killed, they were covered in wounds that had only recently scabbed over.
She has always been vindictive, but for the sake of Jiang State's stability, she endured it. In the end, she didn't come to him, but he came to her on his own.
Liu Zhiyi was trembling with anger, and subconsciously rubbed his fingertips vigorously. The pent-up violence quickly climbed up every nerve in his body, and he shouted to kill the man in front of him.
I'm so fussy, I can't pick it up and I can't let it go. It's a good thing I didn't like him in the first place.
He is really annoying and an eyesore.
"What are you doing, performing monkey shows in the street?"
"Brother, are you okay? If you're okay, you can eat more Lychee Plums, okay?"
This scene quickly attracted the attention of people on the street, and for a moment, many people gathered here out of curiosity.
Liu Zhiyi frowned, having a bad feeling in his heart, always feeling that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
So he whispered to the driver beside him,
"We have to find a way to get out of here as soon as possible."
