"Miss Lin, I'm so glad you're okay. Nichang and I went through so much trouble to get back to Kyoto, but she's been bedridden ever since. I immediately reported the matter to the authorities, but I didn't know your identity or the whereabouts of the thieves, so I couldn't offer any assistance. Thankfully, you returned safely, otherwise I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to rest easy for the rest of my life..."
Li Yue burst into tears, and Sophie comforted her skillfully.
"It's just a small favor, Miss Li, don't worry about it. Today is Miss Yun and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's wedding day, why don't we drink and have fun until we're drunk!"
"Okay, I won't go home until I'm drunk!"
Li Yue burst into laughter and picked up the wine cup to clink glasses with Sophie.
After several reincarnations.
Sophie successfully drank eight glasses of wine to knock Li Yue down, who fell down after seven glasses.
"Thank you for letting me."
She put down her glass and left happily.
The moment he turned around, he ran head-on into a solid wall of flesh.
Helian Yu came behind her without her knowing when.
"Sister Qingyin, you are drunk."
He raised his hand to reach for the wine jug in her hand, but Sophie smiled and turned away.
"Not drunk, not drunk, I'm sober."
Sophie's steps were unsteady and her body was swaying, like a drunken butterfly.
Helian Yu reached out his hand worriedly, but it was empty.
Sophie waved away his offered hand.
She opened her drunken eyes and looked closely at his bright wedding clothes.
An unprecedented sense of accomplishment emerged in her heart.
She never expected that the little cannon fodder she had casually saved that day would become the groom. And she had also saved the bride with her hand, no, with her kick.
Why am I so annoying?
Sophie was smug, and the system prompt sounded in her head.
[Ding! Successfully gained the pity of the bond target "Helian Yu", bond value +10.]
What the hell?
Pity?
Are you sure?
How could she deserve any pity when she looks so free and easy now?
Could it be that Helian Yu felt that he was getting married today and everyone was together, while she was alone and felt very pitiful?
Sophie's eyelids twitched, and she felt offended.
She looked up unhappily and was about to argue, but saw Helian Yu gazing at her with deep affection.
???
Did this guy get drunk and mistakenly recognize someone?
"Sister Qingyin, I know it was you who saved me in the palace that day. Don't worry, sooner or later I will marry you into the palace and make you the most noble woman in the world..."
Helian Yu's affectionate confession completely dispelled Sophie's drunkenness.
[Ding! Successfully obtained the oath of the bond target "Helian Yu", bond value +10.]
Sophie suddenly felt something was wrong and immediately ran away.
"Hey, you so-and-so, let's go together!"
She held the wine jug in her arms and swayed as she chased the familiar figure on the side of the road.
As a result, I was not paying attention and didn't see the protruding pebbles under my feet.
She staggered, and the wine jug in her arms flew out in an instant, forming an almost perfect parabola.
"careful!"
Sophie reminded him and Xiao Ming stopped.
The moment he turned around, a huge hidden weapon attacked him.
With a "crack".
The wine jug hit him on the forehead with precision.
Xiao Ming rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.
[Ding! The host maliciously hurts others, Innocence value -10, Malice value +5.]
!!!
Finally, under Lin Yinghao’s criticism and teaching, Sophie went to the house personally with gifts to apologize.
Xiao Ming's injury was not serious, and he woke up after lying down for a day.
Seeing her apologizing to him with a wrinkled aggrieved face, Xiao Ming felt something in his heart.
"If Miss Lin really feels guilty, why not pledge yourself to me?"
Eh?!
Sophie blinked in surprise, and then the system prompt sounded.
[Ding! Successfully received the courtship signal from the bond target "Xiao Ming", bond value +15.]
Sophie's eyes lit up instantly.
I was just worrying about how to get rid of my relationship with Helian Yu, and here comes the solution, right?
She agreed happily without thinking.
Now it was Xiao Ming's turn to be surprised, his pair of light brown eyes sparkled.
"Ms. Lin, are you really willing to marry me?"
"Yes! How could this be false?"
Anyway, according to the plot, the Lingyuan Emperor will soon be gone. When the new emperor ascends the throne, a one-year mourning period will be established, and marriages will be suspended throughout the country.
Even if she had made an engagement with Xiao Ming, she would not get married immediately. She would just treat it as a delaying tactic.
…
The news of the marriage between the Lin and Cao families spread throughout the streets and alleys.
With his worries resolved, Lin Yinghao finally smiled with satisfaction.
Unfortunately, this joy did not last long.
One day not long after, bad news came from the palace.
Emperor Lingyuan passed away.
Crown Prince Helian Yu ascended the throne and became Emperor Mingyuan. The next day, he issued an imperial decree, ordering the entire country to mourn and prohibiting marriage within a year.
The holy order is hard to disobey.
The Lin and Cao families had to postpone their marriage until a year later.
From then on, Sophie lived her carefree life again.
Three months later, Helian Jue successfully quelled the chaos on the border and returned to the court with 100 million taels of stolen money and 12 corrupt officials.
Emperor Mingyuan was delighted and named him King Yujing.
The direction of this plot actually happened a year and a half earlier than the original plot.
So this guy is cheating?
