Chapter 64: Like a Treasure
After the words were spoken, the room fell into silence for a long time.
Xiao Linyuan did not regret his impulsiveness. If he did not say it today, he might not find such a suitable opportunity for a long time.
And he was willing to wait until she figured out whether to choose him.
"Is there anything else you want to know?"
Song Zijin shook her head, her mind was in a mess.
"So is there anything you want to tell me?"
Song Zijin remained silent. There were so many things she hadn't said, but couldn't. She didn't want to lie to him, but she didn't have the courage to be honest.
What should she say?
Should I tell him that I am actually your elder sister-in-law?
Why spoil his fun at this time?
If only they had met earlier.
"Your Majesty, I..."
"Call me Lingzhi."
Song Zijin opened his mouth several times but couldn't shout.
No, there is a huge gap between them, which cannot be bridged by a simple word of joy.
He said she was brave, but he was obviously wrong. She was not brave at all. She only dared to keep her secrets and lick her wounds late at night.
"Your Highness, I am not brave. The difference between our statuses is too great, and nothing will come of it."
She had heard too much gossip in the clinic these days, and now she knew how quickly people spread gossip.
As the saying goes, three people make a tiger, and many mouths can melt gold. People's words are the most terrifying.
She couldn't even imagine how hysterical the old princess would become and how the people of the capital would laugh at the palace if her identity were ever exposed.
If my parents heard these rumors, they would be so sad.
Xiao Linyuan didn't want to hear this, so he rested his forehead against hers and said softly, "It must be that I'm not good enough to you, so you don't have the determination to face the rumors with me."
In a word, he took all the responsibility on himself.
"No, we are not destined to be together." Song Zijin said dejectedly.
"You forgot, I said, man can conquer nature. I will definitely marry you in a grand ceremony, clearing all obstacles, and I won't let anyone interfere. This is my promise, so are you willing?"
No matter how incestuous the relationship was, he believed that a solution could be found.
Song Zijin didn't dare to look into his affectionate and burning eyes. Like a stupid snail, she could only hide in her shell.
Not getting a response, Xiao Linyuan felt lonely and embarrassed.
But seeing her like an eggplant hit by frost, I can only feel heartache.
He gently squeezed her palm and said, "I won't force you. We still have a lot of time. You can think about it slowly."
Song Zijin breathed a sigh of relief. If he continued to coax her for a while, she might not be able to resist and would tell him everything.
She tried to change the subject: "Your Majesty, what are you going to do with Xuesha?"
Two people finally have this beautiful moment of peace and quiet together, why bring up someone who spoils the fun?
Xiao Linyuan reached into the quilt and secretly pinched the protruding part.
Well, it felt just as good as he imagined.
"Hmm..." Song Zijin shuddered, her voice as delicate as a kitten's, "What are you doing..."
"I'll punish you for mentioning someone else on my bed."
Song Zijin refused to accept the punishment. He turned around and kneaded his abdominal muscles, saying confidently, "Reciprocity is the norm!"
"..." Xiao Linyuan laughed out of anger, and simply threw her to the ground and started to make a mess in front of her.
The two people quarreled until midnight, and the person outside the house covered their mouths and walked away again.
After doing it for too long, Song Zijin was already exhausted and finally fell asleep in his arms.
It rained at night. Xiao Linyuan tiptoed to close the window, took out a quilt from the cabinet and wrapped it around her, fearing that she would catch a cold after being tired.
It was my first time taking care of someone, so my movements were clumsy, but I was careful and attentive. The person in my arms just moaned but didn't wake up.
He exhaled softly and slowly moved closer.
It was as if what he was holding in his arms was a rare treasure.
——
Luo Zipei stayed with Xue Sha in the dungeon for a night. Even the hardest-hearted person would be moved by such friendship.
Xue Sha finally agreed to Wang Ge's request.
The correspondence between her father and Xiao Jin was hidden by her in Cangzhou, and Wang Ge sent someone to Cangzhou with her to retrieve it.
Luo Zipei wanted to stay with Xuesha, but was forced to stay by Song Zijin.
She will be able to get Fuwu soon. After she recovers from her illness, she can go wherever she wants. Why should she have to rest after walking a few steps like now?
The black market is only open at night, and there are many scammers inside. This kind of black market is rare and ordinary people have never seen it.
So Song Zijin decided to go there in person.
Xiao Linyuan was worried, so he disguised himself and went with her.
Song Zijin was wearing a coarse linen shirt that she got from somewhere, and a coarse scarf on her head, which completely concealed her beautiful figure.
Xiao Linyuan didn't want to wear the tattered clothes she prepared, but she said, "Your Majesty, wear this, and we will pretend to be husband and wife."
In no time, he put on the shorts that were completely different from his temperament.
Song Zijin held his chin and looked at it carefully, "It's not that I bought it too short, it's that the prince has long legs and arms."
"Well, you're right."
After saying this, he limped and hunched over, coughed twice, and lowered his voice: "Old woman, let's go~"
Song Zijin was so amused by him that she fell backwards and said coquettishly, "Your Highness, I should buy you another piece of black plaster to put on your cheekbone!"
"My wife is really willing to spend money on me. I am so happy, old man!"
After saying that, he leaned his whole body on Song Zijin's shoulder and pushed her to the wall.
Song Zijin pushed his head, but it was too heavy to move.
"Your Majesty, please get up."
Xiao Linyuan opened his left eye and stole a glance at her. Seeing that she was not angry, he pretended to say, "I can't afford it. I'm old now, so I just want to be close to my wife."
Song Zijin snorted softly, "Why not prepare another walking stick for you!"
"Ahem, are you going to give me a gift, old lady? Then I have to work even harder tonight!"
Song Zijin's face flushed, but he didn't respond to him. He pushed his head away and walked away.
Xiao Linyuan felt a surge of bitterness in his heart. Was this little thing going to just pull up his pants and ignore him?
Wang Ge and Chun Sheng were confused.
Is this still the stern King Jinyue?
In order to make the girl happy, he can even destroy his own image like this...
Sometimes being a subordinate is really frustrating.
I really want to capture Thirteen and Fourteen and have them guard the prince.
