Chapter 74: Prepare for a Rainy Day "I think you're quite capable. If I really don't...
Chapter 74
In addition to relying on his own intelligence, Lin Zhiyi also relies on his two good friends Zhou Mingyan and Ji Wuyou.
——The two of them helped to block the drinking and made jokes, diverting a lot of people's attention.
Another point is that no one dared to force the prince consort to drink too much.
If we get the prince consort drunk, who will be able to take the blame when the princess blames us?
Therefore, after entertaining the guests at the Lin Mansion, Lin Zhiyi didn't drink much wine in total. Although Zhou Mingyan and Ji Wuyou drank a lot, they were still sober.
Lin Song and Zhu'er served the sobering soup that the young master had ordered early in the morning to the two young masters, Zhou and Ji. After they were completely sober, they ate some stomach-warming lean meat porridge, and then accompanied Lin Zhiyi and Jingyue to the princess's mansion.
Tang Cong and Su Lian had already tidied up the princess's mansion. When the two masters arrived, they started the banquet process at the princess's mansion.
Someone was responsible for the daily arrangements of the servants and guards in the Bitong Courtyard brought by the Prince Consort;
Someone entertained the Prince Consort's friends;
There was also a group of people specially assigned by Su Lian to serve Lin Zhiyi.
Lin Zhiyi: “???”
I haven't seen too many people today...
Lin Zhiyi first sent out the familiar palace servants sent by Su Lian. "I don't need your help for now. Go and rest. Eunuch Su will assign you new tasks in a few days."
Although several palace maids were reluctant, they still obeyed the order and left.
Here they can serve the prince consort closely, which is easy and prestigious, but if the prince consort doesn't need them, they will probably have to do other dirty, tiring and rough work.
After all… now, basically all the other tasks have been arranged. When they reached a secluded spot, they couldn't help but grumble quietly, "I didn't expect the Prince Consort to be so disrespectful to the Princess… After all, we're her servants, sent to serve him, and he refuses…"
"Perhaps the princess dotes on her husband too much, giving him the confidence..."
"You can't spoil me like this. Will Her Royal Highness still be able to maintain her dignity in the future?"
"Hush... Let's wait a few days. The princess and her husband have just gotten married, and things are still a mess in the palace. Maybe there will be a suitable job for us in a few days."
"Just be generous..."
"Let's go, let's go back first, don't let Chief Steward Su see us..."
Only after they left did Zhu'er and Lin Song come out from the dark shadows.
They were both young and well-protected by Lin Zhiyi in the mansion. How could they have ever seen such a scene? People from the palace were so cunning...
Zhu'er: "The mansion will probably be very lively in the future."
Lin Song: "Just ignore them. The young master will definitely be on our side, don't worry. Let's go and do what the young master tells us to do first."
They also have to continue to look after the two young masters, Zhou Mingyan and Ji Wuyou.
These two are the young master's good friends, and they have helped him block a lot of alcohol.
It was only when Lin Zhiyi arrived at the princess's residence that he finally relaxed the tension that had been building all day.
No wonder many young people nowadays don’t want to have a wedding ceremony. It’s really tiring to go through this whole process.
The ancient wedding ceremony was even more tiring.
In modern times, there are many novel and creative ideas, which makes people tired. In ancient times, the traditions were complicated. She also had the identity of a "prince consort" and was getting married to a princess. How could the ceremony be simple?
Fortunately, we had arrived at the Princess's Mansion, and the basic process was complete. The banquet was just a small one, just a few drinks and chats with three or five friends, and it was almost time to disperse.
Lin Zhiyi had a few drinks this time, accompanying Zhou Mingyan, Ji Wuyou, Xie Junxing who came later, and several other classmates with whom he had a good relationship.
Young people are enthusiastic and curious, but they won't offend.
After a few words of congratulations and a drink, they left without lingering any longer.
After all, this is the princess's mansion, who dares to be so presumptuous?
Xie Junxing was assigned the task of sending Zhou Mingyan and Ji Wuyou back home.
Of course, the Princess's Mansion and Lin Zhiyi also sent people to escort them.
After the night was completely quiet, Lin Zhiyi went to Lanyue Pavilion where Jingyue was.
——In the Princess's Mansion, the place where the princess lives uses the name of her palace in the palace.
Jing Yue had been Lin Zhiyi for more than half a month when he changed his body, so he was naturally familiar with several classmates from the Imperial College.
He originally wanted to exchange a few pleasantries and have a few drinks, but that would definitely cause panic and suspicion. After thinking about it, he decided not to join in the fun and decided to just be a good "princess" today.
Anyway, Lin Zhiyi is really addicted to being a royal consort.
When I was thinking about my husband, he came.
Jing Yue knew it was her when she heard the footsteps.
The corners of his lips curled up slightly, he sat up straighter, and put his red veil back on—he was a "princess," and in his own territory, so naturally he prioritized his comfort. While waiting for Lin Zhiyi, he didn't cover himself with the veil anymore. He even lay down to rest for a while.
Lin Zhiyi also kept telling him to do whatever he felt comfortable with and not to be bound by formalities.
——Since they are no longer in the palace, the princess can be more free and at ease in the princess's mansion.
Well...they both have a tacit understanding on this concept.
Lin Zhiyi had been busy all day and although she was very tired, at this moment, her steps were still brisk.
From today onwards, she will have a home in another world.
The Bitong Courtyard of the Lin Mansion is of course also very good, but it is different after all.
This is the safe haven for her and Jingyue.
And Jingyue is her only sense of belonging in this world.
She is very similar to Jingyue, facing adversity, carrying a big secret, lacking a sense of security, and using her acting skills to cover up her true self.
Life is tiring and difficult.
Now that they were finally married, they could finally let down their guard a little and enjoy their freedom.
Lin Zhiyi stepped into the inner room of Lanyue Pavilion and saw Jingyue sitting beside the bed at a glance.
Although they had picked up the red veil once before in the Marquis' Mansion, and both of them had handled it with ease, at this moment, accompanied by the dim candlelight and the chirping of cicadas and birds in the night wind, Lin Zhiyi's heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.
It's really strange.
In this atmosphere, she was actually nervous!
"Why don't you lie down for a while? Aren't you tired of sitting like this?"
"I've been lying down for a long time and just sat up." Jing Yue's voice was gentle and pleasant. At night, they were alone, so he didn't have to strain his throat, so there was a hint of joy in his tone, which made it even more seductive. "I recognized your footsteps."
"You can tell that?" Lin Zhiyi was surprised. "We don't spend much time together, do we?"
Jing Yue smiled complacently: "I can tell by what I hear."
Lin Zhiyi picked up the jade ruyi next to him and cleared his throat: "I'm going to pick out the veil."
"Okay." Jing Yue sat upright. He was also nervous, and he also felt that performing this ceremony at night would make people feel calmer and more expectant.
The red veil was lifted, this time removing the phoenix crown. Lin Zhiyi put it away together with the jade ruyi, then went to the table to pour wine.
Her wedding wine with Jingyue.
Jing Yue stood up and followed. He first glanced at Lin Zhiyi's expression, then reached out and covered the back of her hand: "Let's go together?"
Lin Zhiyi tilted his head and looked up at him for a moment: "Okay."
The two of them overlapped their hands and filled the exquisite cup with wine. Then they put down the wine pot, each picked up the wine glass, put their arms lightly together, looked at each other, and slowly drank the wine from the cup.
Lin Zhiyi's eyes were bright and lively, while Jing Yue's eyes were silent and thoughtful.
Lin Zhiyi asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Jing Yue: "Thinking about...your origins. And...how long you will stay here."
Lin Zhiyi raised her eyebrows. In order to play the role of a man, she deliberately trimmed her eyebrows to be slightly thicker, so that they slanted into her temples. With such raised eyebrows, she really had the temperament of a playboy.
"Thinking so much?" You haven't been thinking about this all day, have you?
Jing Yue: "Just thinking about it. It's also...preparing for a rainy day."
He finally met such a person, who was exactly compatible with him, shared secrets with him, and got married.
If she couldn't stay for long... then all the effort and affection he had poured into her... would surely be wasted.
Lin Zhiyi nodded in understanding: "Indeed, if my soul becomes unstable and I am brought back to my original time and space... wouldn't you be mistaking your feelings for the wrong person?"
At this moment, Lin Zhiyi's sense of responsibility emerged.
Although she believed in enjoying life in the moment, if she met Jingyue in the present world, she would definitely win her over completely. However, their meeting was separated by time and space. What if she really accidentally left this world and the original Lin Zhiyi returned...
That would be a very absurd and devastating thing for Jingyue.
Lin Zhiyi readily changed the plan: "Then let's just be friends for now. From experience, the relationship of a cooperative alliance is more reliable than a marriage."
Jing Yue: “…”
That wasn't his original intention.
I do think about it, but I'm more worried. I want to find a way to follow her, or keep her, instead of retreating to a so-called safe distance and becoming a reliable ally.
Although Jing Yue also agreed with what Lin Zhiyi said just now.
"Will friends hug each other and kiss each other? Will they want to spend the wedding night with each other?" Jing Yue's words left Lin Zhiyi speechless for a moment.
When she was at the Lin residence, she really couldn't control herself and took the initiative to initiate the "teasing" offensive. She even mentioned the bridal chamber.
Jing Yue guessed: "Are you scared?"
Lin Zhiyi: "Who's afraid?! It's just... in our place... if you're under 18, doing anything more intimate is against etiquette and law."
This time it was Jing Yue who raised an eyebrow: "Even after we get married, it's not possible?"
"Even if you're married, it won't work."
"If that's all, it's fine. It won't be long until our eighteenth birthday." Jing Yue said, looking very easygoing. "I can wait. Besides, I'm not a hungry wolf who must be married to you."
Lin Zhiyi's mind suddenly twitched, and he blurted out, "You don't know how to do it?"
Jing Yue: “…”
"You think I can't?"
Lin Zhiyi said readily, "I was wrong."
Jing Yue: "I think you're quite good at it. If I really can't, I can still learn from you, right?"
Lin Zhiyi laughed dryly and looked around: "Haha, you're right, you're very smart. Well, are you hungry? I'm very hungry, I'll eat a few bites of cake first. Let's wash up and go to bed later. Just sleep!"
