Chapter 2: A sense of disharmony "Wait... Your Highness, I am willing to raise you."...
Chapter 2
Lin Zhiyi was lost in thought and didn't even notice the woman in tight clothes next to her waking up from her light sleep.
"Awake? How do you feel?" It was only when the other person came over to ask with surprise when he saw her wake up that she came back to her senses and turned her gaze to the woman in black tights.
——The original owner’s master.
The unconscious 'young marquis' was actually being cared for by this female master at night...
Lin Zhiyi silently guessed: Could it be that the female master knew that she was a girl?
Sure enough, the female master, oh, that is, Gu Tingxuan, looked around to make sure that there was no one else around, then lowered her voice and scolded, "Are you crazy? You are taking such a risky move. If you really go there by accident, what will happen to the entire Lin family?"
Lin Zhiyi blinked innocently.
From what Master said, it seems that the original owner did it on purpose?
Not really? Even if he was afraid that Princess Shang might reveal her true identity, it would be too unprofitable to seek death and try to escape by escaping death!
It is better to live a miserable life than to die.
Lin Zhiyi searched her memory for a moment and found that the original owner had not done it intentionally. It was purely an accident of startling the horse. So, she explained: "Master... it was an accident..."
"Is it really an accident?" Gu Tingxuan frowned. "Out of nowhere, your horse suddenly got startled... No, maybe it wasn't an accident."
Although Lin Zhiyi was new to the place, he was quick-witted and quickly understood Gu Tingxuan's implication: "Master, are you saying... are there other people who don't want me to become a consort?"
Gu Tingxuan seemed to be thinking about something. "I can't rule out this possibility. Princess Liyang's previous two husbands both died unexpectedly. No! I have to find someone to investigate..."
As she spoke, she was about to stand up, but just as she stood up, she sat back down. "Forget it, there's no rush. Right now, it's more important to take care of you." She reached out and gently touched Lin Zhiyi's forehead. "The fever is gone, does your head still hurt?"
"It still hurts a little, but it's much better." Lin Zhiyi curved her eyebrows. She had a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, and her smile could captivate everyone.
Gu Tingxuan looked at her handsome face and thought with some regret, if she had not disguised herself as a man and had always appeared as a girl, what a stunning beauty she would have been.
Unfortunately... there is no if.
This move made by Ayan is really... Alas.
Gu Tingxuan and Madam Hou Mu Hanyan are sworn sisters.
At that time, they were praised as both civil and military beauties in the capital.
Gu Tingxuan is martial, while Mu Hanyan is literary.
When Gu Tingxuan was sixteen or seventeen, all the male members of the Gu family died in the battlefield while suppressing the rebellion of the vassal kings, and she was the only one left in the family.
At that time, her marriage had not been decided yet, and she did not want to get married. She just wanted revenge, so she disguised herself as a man and sneaked into the Lin family army. It took her three years to successfully take revenge and completely put down the rebellion of the vassal kings.
Mu Hanyan had just given birth to her eldest daughter, Lin Zhiqin. Worried about her husband's safety, she joined the army and left her eldest daughter in Beijing to be taken care of by her grandmother.
During the three years at the border, Mu Hanyan and her husband were deeply in love. In the second year, she became pregnant with her second daughter, Lin Zhiqi. During her pregnancy, she was assassinated by the enemy, and it was Gu Tingxuan who saved her and her daughter.
Mu Hanyan recognized her former best friend and burst into tears of joy. Gu Tingxuan was also happy that her friend was safe.
After that, Gu Tingxuan was invited by Mu Hanyan to come and take care of her.
The two of them took care of each other - they took care of the inconveniences of Gu Tingxuan's daughter in the barracks, and also took care of the safety of Mu Hanyan, the pregnant woman.
After suppressing the rebellion of the feudal lords, Mu Hanyan tried her best to invite Gu Tingxuan to the Marquis' Mansion to be the martial arts master of her second daughter. Perhaps because her second daughter was born on the battlefield, she liked to wield swords and guns since she was a child and had a dream of becoming a general.
She was active, tall, almost as tall as her father, and also quite skilled in martial arts. If it weren't for her second daughter's well-developed and feminine charm, Mu Hanyan would have allowed her to disguise herself as a man and inherit the title.
In short... perhaps influenced by Gu Tingxuan disguising herself as a man to fight the enemy, although Mu Hanyan did not let her second daughter take this path, she eventually let her youngest daughter take this path.
When Gu Tingxuan recalled this, she looked at the 'victim' Lin Zhiyi with a little more pity.
In any case, the young girl has done nothing wrong.
Seeing Gu Tingxuan staring at him in a daze, Lin Zhiyi couldn't help but ask, "Master...what are you thinking about?"
Gu Tingxuan: "Nothing." She rarely showed her gentle side and gently helped Lin Zhiyi to tidy up her hair. "I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position."
Lin Zhiyi smiled heartily: "...I don't feel wronged."
The original owner was indeed not aggrieved and had a strong sense of responsibility. As an imposter, it would be best for her to follow the original owner's wishes for safety's sake.
So as to avoid being exposed.
Seeing that she was so calm, Gu Tingxuan didn't say anything.
——They are still in the royal spring hunting tent, so they still have to be careful to avoid eavesdropping.
"By the way, the princess sent someone to deliver two pieces of high-quality ginseng. It shows that she cares very much about you, the new prince consort." Gu Tingxuan stated, not daring to mix too much regret and guilt in her words - no matter what, they were the ones who let the princess down.
"I will also be good to the princess." Lin Zhiyi had already decided to turn the innocent little princess in the deep palace into a lesbian, so she was not afraid of "letting down" her.
Aren’t girls more considerate than men?
Well, of course, this is her modern thinking, so I won’t tell it to the ancient master.
In short, she will make the princess not regret choosing her as her female consort.
Once the bleeding from the injury on the back of the head has stopped and the most dangerous period has passed, it will not be difficult to recover.
On the third day, Lin Zhiyi was able to get out of bed.
Gu Tingxuan lowered the bed curtain and took out a chest binder to bind her breasts. Perhaps because she had been wearing chest binders since she was a child, the breasts of this "young marquis" were not big, but small and delicate, and easy to cover.
Of course, it could also be that she is still young and not fully developed.
But... Gu Tingxuan remembered that Lin Zhiqi had bigger breasts than Lin Zhiyi when she was fourteen years old.
Now... I am even more proud of myself.
Lin Zhiqi has always been troubled by this, saying that it affects her sword practice...but there is nothing she can do.
Our bodies and hair are given by our parents. We cannot take them off, and it is uncomfortable if they are tightened. We can only endure it.
After binding her chest, Gu Tingxuan helped Lin Zhiyi tidy up her clothes and reminded her, "When you see the princess later, remember to pay your respects. Although the king is the leader of his subjects and the husband is the leader of his wife, it's different when it comes to marrying a princess. The prince consort must put the princess first in everything."
Lin Zhiyi: "I understand. The consort serves the princess. If the princess is unhappy, she can divorce him at any time. Right?"
Gu Tingxuan: “…”
There is no need to put it so bluntly.
Lin Zhiyi is not short, about 1.7 meters tall. If the soles of his boots are a little thicker, it will be no problem for him to pretend to be 1.75 meters tall.
Therefore, there is no sense of incongruity in dressing up as a 'young marquis'.
The one who feels out of place is the princess.
When Lin Zhiyi arrived at the princess's tent, she was just returning on horseback. From a distance, one could tell she was tall and had long legs. She even looked taller than her little red horse.
Jingyue also dressed up when she went out hunting. She was so bright and beautiful that people dared not look directly at her.
She had also seen Lin Zhiyi early in the morning. Well, her third consort was indeed handsome and elegant. Even the cotton bandage on his head did not affect his handsomeness. He was just a little thinner.
A pair of peach blossom eyes are particularly charming. They look at me with a smile, but without any flattery, but with sincerity and innocence.
Like a naive puppy, waiting for its owner to return.
Jing Yue narrowed her eyes slightly, suppressing the complicated thoughts in her heart.
When he looked up again, his expression was calm.
She clutched the whip in her hand and did not dismount immediately. She only looked down at Lin Zhiyi with the dignity of a princess. She dignifiedly smoothed the little red horse's mane and asked in a soft voice, "Is your injury healed? How did you get out of bed so soon? Don't get caught in the wind, it's getting worse..."
Lin Zhiyi's voice was clear and bright: "Thank you for your concern, Princess. I...I am fine now. I just need to rest for a few days."
"Yes. That's good. I have already petitioned my father to postpone our wedding for a month. My dear husband, please take good care of your injuries and don't worry about this."
Huh? Postponed?
Lin Zhiyi was a little surprised, but since it was the princess's idea, she naturally had no objection: "Yes. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion. I am deeply grateful."
Jing Yue stopped talking, she really didn't know what to say to her husband.
Emperor Longshun had originally planned this spring hunt to allow the two to get to know each other, but an accident disrupted the plan.
——You can’t ask a princess to condescend to stay by the bedside of her unmarried prince consort, right?
It's against the rules.
We can't ask the injured prince consort to continue showing off his prowess in the hunting grounds despite his injuries just to make the princess smile, right?
The guard who was responsible for carrying the bow and arrow for the princess ran over and prepared to help the princess dismount.
Lin Zhiyi took a step forward and extended his arm: "Princess, please."
Jing Yue frowned, but finally put her hand on Lin Zhiyi's hand, with the whip and sleeve between them, and she nimbly turned over and got off the horse.
The posture was elegant and beautiful, and Lin Zhiyi's eyes flashed with admiration - it seemed that she was not the kind of weak and delicate princess.
And the princess... is so tall.
Huh? He's actually taller than her?!
Lin Zhiyi was amazed, but had no other thoughts.
She is a princess, she has fine clothes and delicious food, she is well-developed, and she has good genes, so it is normal for her to be tall.
I just hope... the princess doesn't mind her being short.
Jing Yue was indeed not surprised that the prince consort was a few inches shorter than her. What surprised her was that his hands were surprisingly soft.
The guard ran closer. It turned out that he was not only carrying a bow and arrow, but also holding the prey hunted by the princess.
A little white fox.
The little fox was caught because its tail was shot. Now it has been bandaged and is nestling obediently in the guard's arms.
Jing Yue withdrew her hand, glanced at the little fox, and then looked at Lin Zhiyi: "Does the prince consort like to raise small animals?"
Lin Zhiyi: “…”
This...she doesn't have such a hobby!
Jing Yue: "It seems that there is none. Forget it then." She ordered, "Skin the fox and make a scarf."
Lin Zhiyi: “!!!”
She suddenly said, "Wait... Your Highness, I am willing to raise it." After a pause, she changed her words, "I like to raise it."
Jing Yue's eyes turned slightly, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.
——It seems that her husband has a kind heart.
She personally lifted the little fox by the scruff of its neck and placed it in Lin Zhiyi's arms: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Prince Consort."
