Thinking of this, she actually hoped that Jiang Jiang would not change his heart and abandon the mad dog. Otherwise, she couldn't imagine what the scene would be like if the emperor got angry.
==
Inside the hall, Jiang Jiang listened to the footsteps receding outside the door, tapping the table with his fingertips.
A breeze blew in through the cracks in the window lattice, carrying with it the familiar scent of ambergris. She raised the corners of her lips slightly, and whispered softly to the empty hall:
"Have you heard enough? Why don't you come out?"
The shadows faded, and the hem of her yellowish clothing slipped out silently. Fu Yao walked behind her, resting his chin on the top of her head, and wrapped his arms around her waist, his strength so tight that it seemed to dig into her bones and blood.
"Say that again..." he said in a muffled voice.
Fu Yao's head was still immersed in the aftereffects of those words. His excessive excitement made him feel that his headache was showing signs of recurring.
He desperately needed her comfort.
Her voice sounded just as he expected, with a smile:
"I said, I stay with you voluntarily."
For the first time, Fu Yao felt that the woman surnamed Yu was of some use. At least he heard what Jiang Jiang said.
It was so beautiful that he was willing to believe that, at least at this moment, they were in love with each other.
===
That night.
Fu Yao brought good news.
"Your parents have been rewarded for exposing the Jiang family's crimes. I have conferred upon them a title of nobility, and they will receive a monthly salary in the future."
Jiang Jiang was quite surprised: "My father is not the kind of person who would do such a thing."
Fu Yao also admitted: "I instructed you to marry me honestly. Your identity must not be tainted."
Letting Jiang's father report the Jiang family can not only separate him from the Jiang family, but also elevate Jiang Jiang's status.
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Jiang eagerly, like a little animal waiting for praise. Jiang Jiang laughed and touched his head.
Fu Yao took advantage of the situation and clung to her palm. Even though he felt a little sleepy from smelling her scent, he still said, "In return, please coax me to sleep."
He said this as if he had never coaxed her before.
Jiang Jiang's hand skillfully slid across his face, and suddenly asked, "When is our wedding date?"
As soon as she asked about the wedding date, Fu Yao, who had been feeling sleepy, woke up instantly. With some excitement and a little caution, he said:
"The Imperial Astronomical Observatory says... the middle of next month will be a rare auspicious day that only comes once in a century."
Jiang Jiang: “…?”
Jiang Jiang: "Isn't it a bit too hasty?"
One month is indeed a bit tight.
But Fu Yao was even more afraid that the queen he had got would run away.
Then he said with a specious reasoning: "Most of the noble families have collapsed during this cleansing, and now we need a happy event to relieve the bad luck."
Jiang Jiang: "...Ah, is there anything else with this effect?"
Fu Yao looked extremely serious, but seeing that she was still doubting him, he started to act pitiful again:
"I'm almost coming of age... My brother already has children at this age. Jiang Jiang, please have pity on me and fulfill my wish."
Jiang Jiang: ".....Where is your brother now?"
Fu Yao: "The underworld."
Jiang Jiang tried to hold back, but couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
She tapped his brow again and said, "I'm worried that the time is too tight for you. Why don't you know what's good for you?"
Fu Yao raised the corner of his lips, leaned close to her, and whispered, "I know, but I really can't wait."
Suddenly, he felt a pair of soft hands sliding down his waist and abdomen to the buttoned area.
His subconscious reaction made him grab the rebellious hand and said in a low voice:
"do what?"
