The cold wind was howling outside. There was only a candle in the small room, and the wick was swaying slightly as the wind hit the window frame.
The two of them stared at each other for a long while without moving.
Yang Yanzong reached out and touched her face.
I don't know what he was thinking about, but his face became noticeably gloomier, and his pair of black eyes were so sharp, cold and gloomy that it was frightening.
Well, no one would be happy.
Especially a man like him.
Su Ci felt the same way. She felt suffocated just thinking about it. The damn old emperor should just die!
But now they can't openly confront each other and seek death, so they can only find another way.
Yang Yanzong knew very well that he had to do this, and he had to take the initiative before the old emperor made it clear, otherwise the marriage between the two would probably not be possible.
No, not very likely, but definitely!
He smiled coldly. Picking peaches? Stealing the wife!
What belongs to him, no one can take it away unless he dies!
Even the emperor! !
It's just a special moment, so I have to let her down.
Yang Yanzong lowered his eyes, his face became slightly fierce and gloomy, but that extremely aggressive look was no longer concealed at all. Unlike the deliberate restraint he showed outside, it was so powerful that it was oppressive. At this moment, even a hair on this man was so dangerous that it made the timid people want to scream.
Su Ci looked at him for a while and blinked.
She looked around. Is it here? No way, there's not even a chair here.
Apart from the tall rack for cotton towels and clothes, there was only a washbasin rack, which contained a brass washbasin half filled with cold water. Wow, this was too weird! It makes people have toothache and baldness.
But before she could finish her complaints, she suddenly heard a noise outside, the sound of some furniture being bumped outside the door curtain, followed by the sound of footsteps coming straight towards this side. Su Ci's heart skipped a beat.
The person who came was a palace maid, carrying osmanthus hair oil and rose essential oil that she had specially asked for from the inner treasury. There were two palace maids and a young eunuch who were responsible for serving Su Ci. The young eunuch usually fetched water and food, while the palace maids went into the house to take care of the service.
"Miss Su——"
The older palace maid shouted, walked to the door curtain, and reached out to lift the indigo satin curtain.
Su Ci screamed, her heart in her throat. She quickly pushed Yang Yanzong to the side of the door and made him stand against the wall. At the same time, she took a step forward and quickly caught the other person's hand with her other hand, and pressed it down with her clever strength.
Su Ci lifted the curtain and smiled: "What's the matter, Aunt Zhang?"
Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "Miss Su, haven't you washed yet?" She raised the basket in her hand and gestured, "The osmanthus hair oil that just arrived from the inner treasury is perfect for rubbing your temples. There is also the newly released rose water. Pour this into the water to wash your hair and face to soothe your mind."
She said with a smile, and was about to put the basket in. Su Ci hurriedly stopped her, and she reached out to take the basket, "Okay, I'll put it in. Thank you for thinking about my Aunt Zhang."
It is easy to see the King of Hell, but it is difficult to deal with the little ghosts. Although everything is arranged, if no one takes special care of these trivial things, you won't be able to see them, and you won't be able to live so comfortably.
The two palace maids were very attentive to Su Ci. They were warm and considerate enough, but her position was not high enough and her sense of hierarchy was not strong enough. There was nothing wrong with other things, except that in places like the toilet and bathroom, the other party would just lift the curtain and come in. Su Ci didn't like the latter point.
Aunt Zhang still wanted to come in, and stepped forward with a smile: "Let me rub your back. It's so cold, it's hard for you to do it alone, right?"
Aunt Zhang was plump, twice as big as Su Ci, and also very strong. Su Ci almost stumbled when she pushed and shoved her. She almost came in, with half of her face exposed to the side of the swaying curtain. Su Ci blocked and pushed her back quickly: "No, no, it's not a big deal, do you need help? It's okay, I can do it myself."
Su Ci's voice became a little harsh. She didn't have the habit of having others help her wash and brush her teeth, and she didn't like anyone to come in. Aunt Zhang didn't find it strange.
As the two pushed and shoved, the curtains swayed, almost extinguishing the candlesticks by the door. Su Ci picked up a fire starter herself, and stopped the other party from asking her to change the candles. She quickly said, "Aunt Zhang, please find me the pale green dress with small leaf collar and twig pattern, and the ermine fur cape with Lu brocade. The lily scent is not good, the sandalwood scent is better."
She quickly assigned a bunch of work to the other party. God knows she didn't like sandalwood at all. She was even unable to sleep on the first day because of the smoke. She finally changed it, but now she changed it back again.
"Oh, okay. How about the dark green cape? Dark green doesn't look good with pale green, right? How about the white fox fur one?"
"You should heat it up, or I can come out and try it later?"
"That's fine!"
Finally, the enthusiastic and considerate Aunt Zhang was sent away. Su Ci lay on her stomach and peeked out through the gap in the door curtain. Aunt Zhang and the little palace maid Bai Tao opened the wardrobe and took out the clothes she mentioned. The inner room was a little small, so the two of them moved outside the small round antique shelf, spread a thick cloth on the large round table, brought in the iron, and prepared to heat it up to iron the clothes.
The distance was not very far, after all, the west side hall was not big, about ten steps, but fortunately it was much brighter outside than inside, so the shadow behind the curtain could not be seen.
There were two people separated by a thin curtain, and there were also a large number of sharp-eyed and sharp-eared guards inside the palace walls in the corridor and courtyard.
Su Ci held her breath, and the small room became extremely quiet. The candlestick was tilted, and the wax tears submerged half of the flame, leaving only a few flickering and trembling. In this steamy and dim narrow room, she felt an arm around her waist, and a strong chest silently pressed against her from behind.
Su Ci turned her head and met a pair of deep and fierce eyes. Her body suddenly floated in the air, and he picked her up and turned around to sit on the small square boxwood shelf.
The shelf was a bit high, probably higher than Yang Yanzong's waist, so now their eyes were level, and she was even a little higher. She breathed softly, opened her eyes wide, which were a little frightened by his movements, but did not forget to keep her mouth tightly closed and stared at him.
She didn't know that her eyes were sparkling in the darkness, reflecting a little bit of firelight and the yellow red lanterns outside the window screen, and looked incredibly bright. She was like a little fat cat that was frightened by an unexpected situation but not really scared, and was looking at people curiously with its eyes wide open.
She looks innocent, youthful, charming, and very naive.
She is not afraid!
There was no panic.
Yang Yanzong gritted his teeth and whispered in her ear, "Do you know what I'm going to do?"
Are you so calm?
Su Ci's eyes rolled around. It seemed a bit pretentious to say she didn't know. She couldn't pretend. Besides, this man had sharp eyes and she definitely couldn't fool him. But to say she knew very well seemed a bit weird.
As she thought about it, she couldn't help laughing. Damn, it's really too difficult.
Su Ci burst into laughter, and Yang Yanzong's face turned a little dark, but he had to admit that after her commotion, the tense atmosphere that seemed like it was about to explode at any moment was gone. He was a little annoyed, but his mood relaxed a little.
He pinched her chin as if punishing her, shook it a few times, and even bit her face. Su Ci screamed silently, "Damn, is this guy born in the year of the dog? He bites her face all day long. If he accidentally bites her face and disfigures her, wouldn't she be in big trouble?" !
The two of them struggled for a while, and before they knew it, the playfulness had changed. Slowly, their noses touched each other, and they kissed each other. In the dim room, there were light and heavy panting sounds. Originally, the atmosphere was quite good. He thought that he had wronged her, and his expression and movements were much gentler than when he entered the room. However, Su Ci Miao's habit of flirting with her came back. After thinking for a while, he suddenly said, "Hey, what if I fail to marry you in the end? Wouldn't that be a big loss?"
Yang Yanzong: “…”
This is true, but it was too much of a bummer. No one knew how to stroke a tiger's whiskers better than her. Yang Yanzong's face turned darker than the bottom of a pot. He was so annoyed that he gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Don't worry, you won't lose anything!"
He didn't want to listen to her anymore. This person could make him angry to death with just a word from her. Yang Yanzong gritted his teeth and decided to do it!
He bit the two petals of her lips hard, and Su Ci screamed silently, "Oh my god, it hurts so much, be gentler." She kicked him, and the two of them fought against each other. The half-worn boxwood frame with tall and slender legs trembled and made a "click" sound.
It was particularly clear in the quiet room, and the two of them paused.
"Miss Su? What's wrong with you?"
Another pair of footsteps walked a few steps towards this side and raised their voices to ask.
Su Ci took two deep breaths, tried to keep her voice down, and said casually, "Nothing, I just accidentally touched the shelf."
"Oh, then you better be careful."
"Um."
The embroidered shoes made little sound as they stepped on the carpet. The dragging footsteps moved a few steps to the side, and then I heard the sound of water being splashed, and then the iron hissed.
Su Ci was picked up in the air, and in the darkness, they left the unstable wooden rack and walked a few steps behind the small changing screen. It was an extremely narrow space that could only accommodate two people. Su Ci raised her head and took a deep breath. She felt Yang Yanzong's rough and hot breath spraying on the skin of her neck. He was like a ferocious beast that was about to attack, so powerful that it made people tremble with fear. Her delicate skin felt the oppression and could not help but tremble slightly.
The blood continued to flow in the thin, blue veins, and his breath was expanding and contracting.
After a long time, the moment of brazenness finally came. She suddenly closed her half-closed eyes, frowned, and grabbed his shoulders with her nails!
It was really beyond my expectation. I have always wanted to find someone with a great figure, face and personality to date before marriage, but I couldn't find the right one after searching for a long time. I didn't want to come to this ancient time, but I got mixed up before marriage. So people’s fate is really like the worms in the stomach. You never know how many worms are hiding inside until you take the medicine.
She was actually distracted and complaining in an unromantic way. There was nothing she could do. She was really feeling uncomfortable and her back was aching. A team of guards from the courtyard came patrolling along the corridor and passed by the window. Both of them held their breath and moved lightly.
Time was too tight, but even so, the two did not dare to waste too much time, and they tacitly agreed to end the battle as quickly as possible.
This was not a pleasant experience. Yang Yanzong held her and placed her on a long table near the wall. He tucked her cloak and whispered, "It will take at least ten days or two or three days, and this matter will be over."
Su Ci said "hmm".
She was lazy and looked a little uncomfortable. Yang Yanzong couldn't keep her for long. After making a long story short, he didn't say any more nonsense. He lowered his head and pressed his lips against her forehead, then silently opened the window and quietly returned the same way.
The boss really comes and goes like the wind!
However, Su Ci was not a pretentious person, and being sad about the passing of time was not her style. After complaining in her heart for a while, she pushed herself up and got up from the ground, lit the candle, opened the window a little, and quickly cleaned up with the candlestick to avoid leaving any flaws that would be discovered by others.
After checking inside and out, the matter was covered up without a trace. Aunt Zhang and the little palace maid shook out the ironed clothes, and Su Ci smiled and cooperated to try them on.
"Miss Su has a very pretty complexion. She looks good in anything she wears!" Aunt Zhang praised her endlessly.
Su Ci's face was exceptionally rosy, with two traces of light blush on her snow-white face, and her lips looked as if they were painted with lip balm. Her skin color made her look like a red plum blossom on the snow, which was particularly eye-catching.
Su Ci felt guilty after listening to her, so she quickly tried on all the clothes. Referring to Aunt Zhang's advice, she chose a pale green dress with a small leaf collar and twined branches pattern and a large cape with white fox fur trim to wear tomorrow - these were all given by Princess Zhao. After a trip to the palace, the quality of her clothes was greatly upgraded. Then she yawned with her hands covering her mouth, and said she was going to sleep.
Finally, he sent Aunt Zhang, the young palace maid and the young eunuch out, blew out the lights, turned over on the bed, and covered himself with the brocade quilt.
It seemed like something big had happened, but it also seemed not so big. Okay, let's go to bed quickly. No matter how big or small the matter was, now that the urgent matter was finally resolved, she could sleep peacefully.
Thinking of this, she felt relaxed all over, but actually her body was a little uncomfortable. But no matter what, as long as she woke up, she would be fine. Su Ci turned over and adjusted a comfortable position, then fell into a deep sleep. The whole process only took three to five minutes.
Fortunately, Yang Yanzong didn’t know, otherwise his face would be darker than the inkstone.
