Chapter 110 Returning to the Capital "The female consort...should serve the male consort well...
Chapter 110
"The marriage hasn't been arranged yet, but I feel like it will be arranged soon..."
"Who is it?"
"The fifth prince, or Cheng Lunian."
"The Fifth Prince? How could it be the Fifth Prince?" Xie Junxing, a son of a marquis, was well-informed about the situation within the imperial court. "Empress Xian has always been in poor health, and she doesn't dare to ask for anything from His Majesty... The Fifth Prince is even less favored... Could it be that someone is helping the Fifth Prince?"
"That's right. I heard it was the Queen who proposed it." Lin Zhihua frowned, looking very worried.
Neither of these two candidates is suitable for the third sister!
Xie Junxing understood instantly after hearing this.
Whether it's the Fifth Prince or Cheng Lunian...
They are all princelings...
Of course, the fifth prince himself could not be a member of the prince's party, but if the queen was involved, it would be hard to say.
After all, Concubine Xian and the Fifth Prince in the palace are both weak and easily manipulated...
Duke Lin has been deeply concerned about the marriages of his four daughters. He has rejected His Majesty several times before, but this time... will he refuse again? Do he dare to refuse?
It's possible that His Majesty's temperament has changed since his illness. What if he no longer indulges Duke Lin... and insists on marrying into the royal family?
Xie Junxing's mood was pulled away from the joy of suppressing the rebels and celebrating the New Year, as if he had been dipped in ice.
He thought about himself, his elder brother, and his two younger sisters...Will there come a day when they won't be able to decide their own marriages?
There won’t be any trouble in his marriage with Zhihua, right?
My eldest brother has never been engaged. Will Your Majesty suddenly interfere in his marriage one day?
My two younger sisters are almost coming of age... What if His Majesty wants to choose a concubine for the Sixth Prince...
Xie Junxing's expression also became much more serious.
Lin Zhihua couldn't help but think of Lin Zhiyi. It would be great if Xiuyuan had a solution.
This time, she, Xiuyuan and the second sister all went out on business on behalf of the Lin family and did a lot for Dayan and the court. These merits... should be able to buy the Lin family another opportunity to disobey the imperial order and protect the third sister, right?
Xie Junxing tried to comfort her, "It's just hearsay now. Perhaps it's just someone else's fabrication, trying to drive a wedge between Your Majesty and the Duke... The Duke and his wife will definitely not let Third Sister suffer any injustice."
Lin Zhihua managed to calm herself down: "Well... I hope so."
The two looked at each other worriedly for a moment, and then thought about themselves - they weren't engaged yet, so they hoped nothing unexpected would happen.
…
Qingzhou Prefecture.
Lin Zhiyi and Jing Yue spent their first New Year together.
Because it was the New Year after the disaster relief, Lin Zhiyi emphasized a sense of ritual - she personally wrote and posted Spring Festival couplets, made Chinese knots, and pasted lanterns with Jingyue. She even brought the fun of making pumpkin lanterns from the capital to Qingzhou.
Pumpkin can be stored for a long time, is filling, soft and sweet, and is especially suitable for the elderly and young children. It can be eaten by people of all ages, so... pumpkin accounts for a large part of the disaster relief food.
The stock of sea cucumbers has greatly increased after the reform of ice fishing technology. Of course, local people like to eat sea cucumbers more. During a period of time, the snow was too thick and ice fishing was dangerous. In addition, the sea cucumbers were consumed before the arrival of the princess and her husband's imperial envoy team. Eating potatoes and pumpkins was still fresh, but after a long time, they still wanted to eat sea cucumbers more.
Therefore, during the Spring Festival, there were still pumpkins left, and people no longer had to eat them with the skin, which led to the emergence of pumpkin lanterns.
Of course, most people are reluctant to leave, but those with children at home will join in the fun.
The day when the disaster relief and reconstruction work was completely completed was the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. They could rest for two more days before returning to the capital.
After attending the banquet prepared by Gu Heming, Lin Zhiyi and Jing Yue declined Gu Heming's offer to see them off and walked back to the courtyard where they lived.
There are various kinds of snowmen on both sides of the road, which are very interesting. They try to reduce the horror of the sudden disaster, highlight the many uses of snow, and reduce the psychological trauma of the people, especially children.
Lin Zhiyi and Jing Yue held hands, their long shadows accompanying each other.
During this period, both of them were busy and fulfilled, and they relied more on each other, and their relationship reached a new level.
Once you step into the courtyard, there is no possibility of being seen by others.
Lin Zhiyi completely relaxed, her steps were much slower and more shaky. At this moment, she just wanted to collapse on the bed and sleep forever.
Jing Yue looked at her with a smile, then looked around to make sure there was no one else around. He then pulled her into his arms and leaned over to hold her horizontally.
Lin Zhiyi hooked her arms around his neck in surprise, a hint of confusion in her peach blossom eyes.
Jing Yue: "Are you tired? If you don't want to walk, I can carry you."
Lin Zhiyi: "So considerate? Thank you, Ayue." She tightened her arms and leaned forward to kiss Jingyue on the cheek.
Jing Yue's heart was pounding, her steps paused slightly, and her breathing stagnated for a moment.
But it was only for a moment, and soon he quickened his pace, walking steadily and quickly.
Since the disaster relief work, both of them have been very busy, and Lin Zhiyi even fell ill, so Jingyue has been taking good care of her. During this period, she was considerate and caring, and they just slept in each other's arms every night, but she never crossed the line once.
They were already a legitimate couple who had performed the ceremony of husband and wife. After tasting the sweetness, Jing Yue had restrained her instincts for a long time. Today, she was in a good mood and had no disaster or trivial matters to worry about. She was very eager to have some tender time with her lover.
The kiss just now deepened his desire.
Lin Zhiyi is so smart. As soon as Jing Yue quickened his pace, she knew what he wanted to do.
Her face was a little red, but she didn't reject it. On the contrary, she also wanted to kiss and hug Jingyue and enjoy the world of two people as a couple.
The bathing conditions here are certainly not comparable to those in the princess's mansion, but fortunately they are already accustomed to the "harsh" and "difficult" conditions, so a bathtub each can make do.
Although the disaster has passed, it is still winter after all, and the temperature is still damp and cold, so it is not advisable to wash for too long.
Jingyue and Lin Zhiyi were both washing themselves carefully.
Afterwards, Jing Yue tidied herself up first, then brought a bath towel to Lin Zhiyi to wipe her clean, changed her into soft pajamas, and then carried her into bed. She personally helped her wipe her hair, dried it with the heater, and then wrapped her in the quilt.
Lin Zhiyi arched his body like a silkworm and moved closer to Jingyue, looking at him with a smile as he put the last touch on his long hair.
——She taught him the 'ball head' hairstyle, and he learned it. He often used this hairstyle to put his long hair away at night. It was dry, neat and out of the way.
"If you were in our place, you'd definitely be scouted and cast as a young knight, general, or prince straight out of a book..."
Jing Yue was already used to hearing all kinds of compliments from her, some new and some old-fashioned. Upon hearing this, she curled her lips, turned around and rushed over, her slender fingertips brushing her long black hair: "What about you?"
"Me? I'm the overbearing boss, the queen, the female general... the female prince consort."
Jing Yue leaned over and grabbed her red lips that were moving and talking, savoring them carefully.
"Female prince consort...it's time to serve the male princess well."
The vague and ambiguous voice was so close that Lin Zhiyi's ears and mind were numb.
Kissing is their favorite intimate action. Jing Yue kissed for a long time, and Lin Zhiyi also responded this time. It can be said that they are evenly matched. You advance and I retreat, you retreat and I advance, and the lip and tongue battle is very intense.
When it came to the critical moment, Jing Yue also consciously put on a condom and never asked Lin Zhiyi to remind her.
Even though he was too distracted before, as long as it came to this point, he would always wake up and engrave "no baby for the time being" in his memory instinct.
Lin Zhiyi was very satisfied with the male prince she had trained, and happily gave herself up completely... Let her lover take control and take her to the clouds...
Two hot bodies pressed against each other, and the winter night after the Spring Festival became less cold, but warm and soft.
…
When they left Qingzhou, they met a person they hadn't seen for a long time - Master Kongnian.
The cultivator looked a little shabby, but in high spirits. He came to the governor's mansion to see them off, carrying his luggage and smiling.
"May the princess and her husband have a safe journey. Thank you for bringing blessings to Qingzhou." The practitioner with gentle features put his hands together and bowed to them.
Lin Zhiyi and Jing Yue looked at the monk whose whereabouts were a mystery with complicated expressions. Could it be that he had been in Qingzhou all this time?
"Master, has he been in Qingzhou all the time?" Lin Zhiyi asked.
"Not really. I've been to Liaobei and Yanzhou. I arrived in Qingzhou before the New Year. I sprained my ankle and got a bit cold, so kind locals took me in." Kong Nian smiled. "Thanks to the medicine and food brought by the prince consort and the princess, we were able to get through this long winter safely."
"Master, you're so polite. This is a win-win situation achieved through the joint efforts of everyone in Qingzhou."
"The prince consort is modest."
"Master, aren't you going back to Beijing? We can give you a ride."
"No, I still want to visit Jizhou and Yuzhou." "The master is the one who truly cares about the people."
"I'm just more informed... I just wanted to join in the fun."
Lin Zhiyi and Jing Yue looked at each other. They had been busy with disaster relief recently, and the snowstorm had blocked roads, so the transmission of news was indeed much slower than usual.
I wonder what information Master Kongnian knows?
Kong Nian: "The governor of Yuzhou was plotting a rebellion, and the capital sent the Zhou family's eldest and youngest brothers to support them. They were completely suppressed a few days ago, and the situation has stabilized."
Lin Zhiyi's heart tightened: "What?! Then my fourth sister..."
"The Imperial Envoys are all fine. Your Highness, don't worry."
Lin Zhiyi sincerely thanked Kong Nian: "Thank you for telling me, Master."
Kong Nian said, "It's just a coincidence. Prince Consort, Princess, you two should be more careful."
This last exhortation seems to have a profound meaning.
Lin Zhiyi and Jing Yue were still thinking about it on their way back to the capital from Qingzhou.
Lin Zhiyi: "Could he have figured something out? Will our identities be exposed?"
Jing Yue held her hand, secretly conveying his body temperature and a sense of security: "It shouldn't be. We have been in Qingzhou for a while. No one here knows about it. Those who know about it in the capital will definitely not tell others... He probably just said it casually."
"I really didn't expect such a big thing to happen in Yuzhou... Fourth sister and the others are really amazing. They actually managed to handle it."
"Well, Fourth Sister, Xie Junxing, and Pei Nanyu are all clever people. When they get together, they can think things through. How could a mere drunkard who's plotting rebellion be their opponent?"
"Looking at it this way, the situation here is much more stable. Should Third Prince be doing well there too?"
"Yes. Third brother was the first to finish his work. He could have gone back before the New Year, but he stayed a little longer. Perhaps our team can still run into him."
As Jing Yue predicted, the three disaster relief teams that set out before the New Year met one after another on the official road outside the capital after the New Year.
Everyone looked at each other and smiled.
