Chapter 132 I'll Be Shy Too
Clear enough!
Clear enough!
But... Pei Jingzhou was the second son of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and now he is the Crown Prince of the Great Jin Dynasty, with a noble status.
Although he said more than once that he would not take a concubine, would not have a maid, would not have a mistress, etc., but he really had the throne to inherit, and how many people inside and outside the palace were drooling over it.
Jiang Zhaoyue always felt that he would be like Emperor Hong Qi in the future. After having Empress Yuan, he would also have Concubine Hui, Concubine Liang, Concubine Zhang, Concubine Lin, and so on.
She didn't question his sincerity towards her, but sincerity was always changing.
That's why she didn't imagine the days when he was surrounded by women. She enjoyed the present moment, pleased herself every day, and lived happily.
If that day really came, she would probably find a way to have a baby, or leave the palace alone, taking the money and going outside the capital to live a happy life with money and leisure.
But!
But!
But she didn't expect that his "true heart" was to like her.
Although she often narcissistically praises herself for being beautiful, kind-hearted, dignified, etc., she knows that although she is beautiful, she also has a lot of shortcomings, such as selfishness, stinginess, love to sleep in, not serious, and has a bad temper, etc., which most people can't stand.
How could she deserve the true love of Pei Jingzhou, a handsome, cool, noble man like the snow on the mountaintop?
She was a little confused.
Pei Jingzhou always liked to hide his emotions and thoughts. Seeing Jiang Zhaoyue's courage to speak, make trouble, and reveal her bright appearance, he admired and liked her, and couldn't help but indulge in it.
Now he and she were talking to each other and he expressed his feelings. Instead of feeling embarrassed, ashamed or awkward, he felt a kind of genuine joy.
He looked straight at Jiang Zhaoyue and continued, “I know, I know you have always been playful in the world and don’t care about anything.
"Maybe after you get my... body, you'll lose interest in me, lose patience, and stop paying attention to me.
"So I have been restraining my emotions and my desires, hoping that you will fall in love before I reveal my heart to you."
Jiang Zhaoyue blinked blankly.
Pei Jingzhou laughed at himself and continued, "In the end, you only care about my appearance and don't care about other things about me, but I have fallen hopelessly in love with you.
"I thought I could be like Xiao Peng and Qing Luo, giving my all bravely, clearly, and without regrets, and that my love for them would be worth it.
“But I found I couldn’t do it.
“I gave, and I want something in return.
“I want your response.
“I want your eyes.
“I want your love.
"I can't stand you praising other men, and I can't stand you looking at other men.
"I know you did the right thing in saving Chen Xuanmo.
“You’re right to go see him.
"But I have a vague feeling that you have a crush on him.
"I'm just worried that you'll abandon me.
"Do you understand?"
Jiang Zhaoyue saw that Pei Jingzhou's eyes were getting redder and redder. She opened her mouth to say something, but suddenly her mind was like thousands of horses galloping through it, rumbling and chaotic. She didn't know what to say at all: "I... I..."
"You don't understand." Pei Jingzhou's voice was low and aggrieved.
Jiang Zhaoyue felt uncomfortable listening to this and pursed her lips subconsciously.
"You go and see how he is." After saying everything in his heart, Pei Jingzhou calmed down. He turned his face to the side, raised his hand, and secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his index finger, then walked out.
Jiang Zhaoyue heard his footsteps gradually fading away and hurriedly called out, "Your Highness."
Pei Jingzhou had already walked out of the main room, but when he heard her voice, he couldn't help but stop. After listening for a while and not hearing her voice again, he laughed at himself and continued walking forward.
Jiang Zhaoyue sorted out her thoughts at this time. She turned around and ran outside, once again running in front of Pei Jingzhou, stretching out her arms and blocking his way.
Xiangqiao, Hongcao and others saw the posture of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, and didn't know what was going on, but everyone quickly lowered their heads and pricked up their ears to listen to orders.
Jiang Zhaoyue glanced at the servants around her. She knew that Pei Jingzhou cared most about his image outside. However, he was the current crown prince and should care about it. So she didn't say anything, took his hand and walked towards the main room.
Pei Jingzhou resisted slightly.
Jiang Zhaoyue grabbed even harder.
Pei Jingzhou did not resist anymore.
Jiang Zhaoyue pulled him into the main room, then into the bedroom. She let go of him and slammed the bedroom door shut. She turned and looked at him, "I said I'd explain everything, and you left without a clear explanation again!"
"I've made it very clear." Pei Jingzhou said.
Jiang Zhaoyue immediately said: "I didn't explain it clearly."
Pei Jingzhou pointed out: "You said it before, you really can't explain it clearly to me today."
Jiang Zhaoyue said: "That was just now. I won't say that now."
Pei Jingzhou accepted it well: "What do you want to say?"
Jiang Zhaoyue said: "I want to make it clear to you."
Hearing this, Pei Jingzhou felt inexplicably nervous and worried, afraid that Jiang Zhaoyue would say something he couldn't accept. He wanted to escape, but he also wanted to know what she was thinking, so he uttered two words with difficulty: "You say."
"I really don't like Chen Xuanmo." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
Pei Jingzhou asked: "And then?"
"I heard from Wang Yue'er that Chen Xuanmo is a very powerful person who knows everything. I am so eager to save him, not only because he is Wang Yue'er's friend, but also because I really hope that he can be loyal to you and me in the future." Jiang Zhaoyue was also afraid that once the male protagonist in the book died, the world would collapse.
Although this world is not that good, she has gained precious friendship, family love, warmth, etc. here. She is reluctant to part with Pei Jingzhou, Pei Heng, Pei Siya, Pei Sijing, Zhang Siyin, Xiang Qiao and others.
Pei Jingzhou nodded and said calmly: "I know, I was just overthinking it."
"Yeah." Jiang Zhaoyue nodded in response.
Pei Jingzhou asked: "Is there anything else? If not——"
"Yes." Jiang Zhaoyue raised her eyes and looked at Pei Jingzhou with bright eyes.
Pei Jingzhou became nervous again: "Go ahead."
"I actually like you a little bit." It might have started from the moment Pei Jingzhou put himself in Zhiyi's shoes and advised her not to be a concubine in front of the Moon Cave Gate, or it might have been even earlier, Jiang Zhaoyue felt that Pei Jingzhou suddenly became clear and vivid, no longer the male supporting role in the book.
Pei Jingzhou suspected that he had misheard: "What did you say?"
Jiang Zhaoyue said again: "I actually like you a little bit."
Pei Jingzhou asked uncertainly: "What do you like about me?"
"Your people."
"Face? Body?"
"Putting aside your appearance, I like you a little bit." Jiang Zhaoyue always thought she was thick-skinned, but it was the first time she said such sincere words to a man, and she still felt very shy.
My face feels a little hot.
She quickly covered her face with her hands.
"Really?" Pei Jingzhou was overjoyed.
