Chapter 108
She never thought that a man's chest could be so rigid, and the sudden impact on her chest even hurt a little, and she frowned shyly.
The force behind her waist made her unable to move her waist, like a mouse held down by the iron clips on the mouse trap in the field, she could only prop up her elbows and prop up her upper body slightly upright. Looking from top to bottom, swept his jaw line all the way, and saw his face clearly.
The eyes of the person in the drunken dream are still closed, and there seems to be no sign of waking up.
"Nine..." Jiang Rao hesitated for a while, but did not wake him up.
Although his face was red from alcohol, it was not the redness of his ears after being drunk, all the way to the blush at the base of his neck, but a faint, thin red like peach blossoms.
The light of the candle was warm and bright, lacking the coldness of the sun in the winter day, hitting his face, making his appearance very pleasant.
She got closer and looked at it for a while, and unknowingly she got closer and closer to this beautiful and moving face, and she looked at it and said suddenly like a sigh.
"How can you be so beautiful?" Looking under the lamp, it seemed that even the scars weren't so scary anymore.
As soon as the murmur fell, the strength on his waist loosened, but his head sank.
The touch of her lips touching her made her close her eyes tightly, her breath blending together, Jiang Rao opened her eyes in astonishment, and her thin face instantly burned and turned red.
She was stunned and confused, the smell of alcohol melted into her breath, and she was as stiff as wood.
The body suddenly shivered with cold.
He seemed to be looking at her with his eyes open.
The look was dangerous and aggressive.
Jiang Rao's scalp was numb from this feeling, and she opened her eyes immediately, stretched out her hand and pushed his chest, causing her own body to go backwards.
The two separated a little distance.
The grease on her lips was eaten, but the color of her lips was ruddy, bright and red, like ripe cherries, her eyes were big, round, and a little moist.
But as far as she could see, the person in front of her looked like just now, and what she still looks like now.
He leaned against the bed board, his body did not move at all, his eyes were closed, and his breathing was even and shallow.
The hand that held her was also steady, resting on her waist.
Except for the real touch remaining on the lips, everything is changed to the original appearance.
Jiang Rao raised her fingers and stroked her lower lip, and then rubbed her head again. Suddenly, she couldn't realize whether there was really a hand pressing down on her head.
His body didn't move, but it seemed that she
Like I posted it myself...
Did she really post it herself?
Jiang Rao was stunned for a moment, raised her finger and touched her lips lightly.
Although she didn't find it annoying, the stormy waves in her heart made her open her eyes instead, and her eyes swept over to Rong Ting's face.
His lips were much more rosy than before, which seemed to be because of the color of her mouth fat.
But he frowned, looking a little uncomfortable.
The beauty's frown was truly heart-wrenching.
Maybe...she is really the one who lusts after beauty and takes advantage of others to eat tofu.
She immediately raised her finger to wipe the grease off his lips, as if to pretend nothing had happened.
He wanted to get up from his arms and raised his waist, but he couldn't support his arm, so he had to turn his head and use his hands to move it.
She used a lot of strength, but she didn't move his arm one bit.
Jiang Rao frowned and paused for a while. She had no other choice but to take a breath, trying to suck the air out of her stomach and make her waist thinner so that she could get out from under the arm he was holding her tightly.
She gasped and her stomach gradually shrunk.
On the contrary, the hand on her waist chased the curve of her lower back and sank.
Still clinging.
Jiang Rao: "..." The card became even tighter.
She really became a mouse in a mousetrap, struggling but in exchange for a more difficult situation.
She raised her eyes to see if he was disturbed by her series of actions.
Seeing that he didn't move at all, she suddenly stopped moving.
It's not the first time I've been kissed.
Either his wine is not good, and he became a prodigal son when he was drunk, or... She was really confused by the beauty of the person in front of her.
Although she didn't want to admit it, when she saw his eyes closed all the time, the slightly sleepy posture with his head tilted slightly, and the posture that she was on top and he was on the bottom...
Maybe... it's really her.
He was stared at by her eyes without blinking, but he didn't even shake his eyelashes, he really didn't wake up.
It was also his fault that he slept so deeply after being drunk. She leaned forward and was frivolous, and he didn't even know how to push her away.
Jiang Rao slammed her head down and put her head on his chest and pretended to be dead.
The white cheeks were still blushing, and the skin was a little hot.
Although no one was watching, she could not wait to dig a hole and bury herself in it.
She will never give her father the chance to drink him again, absolutely.
There was a knock on the door.
Seeing Jiang Rao's delay in coming out, Ming Shao tentatively called out, "Girl?"
Jiang Rao noticed the arm behind
Her arms seemed to tighten and loosen. She lowered her eyelids for a moment and said, "Wait a minute."
There was a strong heartbeat in his ears, pounding.
This kind of hug made her feel more at ease and warm than the kiss that just blended in with each other.
She didn't really want to let go.
Throughout the year, she has often felt afraid...especially those dreams of broken homes.
Change those dreams when you can't remember them. Once you remember them, you don't dare to close your eyes or open them.
When closed eyes, saw the cry in dream, the cold light of the sword, and the endless heavy snow on the day house was raided.
I open my eyes and think about all kinds of flashy dreams, for fear that what is in the dream is the truth, and the peace and tranquility outside the dream are false.
In the past, the things that she found interesting—looking at flowers and fish, eating tea and reading books, she thought it was interesting, but it was always like there was a huge rock pressing her down, making her unable to breathe, making her unable to live in peace.
But now, the boulder that was pressing in his heart was removed.
She was terrified that she would fall into a situation where she was alone, without relatives, and at the end of her life, but he did not leave her alone.
She used to think he was bad, but now she thinks he is good.
He is like spring, as long as he is by his side, it is warm.
Her head continued to be buried, just like that, she forgot to let go.
Unconsciously, the person hugging her moved her eyelashes at this moment, her left eye opened a tiny line, and then both eyes were pulled apart, and her gaze fell silently on her in his arms.
His face was unusually flushed.
Even if Rong Ting was drunk, he wouldn't let himself get completely drunk.
Jiang Xingzhou's alcohol intake is not small, so he drank a little more. It was because Jiang Xingzhou was her father that he poured his face on him, and then used his internal force to force out the wine.
From the moment she came in, he was sober.
He looked down, it was the first time he was as close to her as he thought, and seeing that she was not angry, his eyes became deep, and he looked unpredictable.
He thought about the sound she had just murmured.
She seemed to like his face.
He looked at his fingers on Jiang Rao's slender waist, the phalanx tightened and loosened.
The greed to loot wildly was finally subdued in a gentle way.
He gave her the deepest obsession alone, the only tenderness, too.
...
A few days later, Jiang Rao entered the palace to see Concubine Yun.
When she came to Shuxiang Palace, Concubine Yun Gui was using the excuse of being unwell to send back the eunuch who had been invited by Emperor Zhaowu to appreciate the flowers.
Said to be unwell, just to Emperor Zhaowu
In those days, she refused to express her dissatisfaction with her actions.
A mama is persuading her, "The sage has come to invite him three times, and the sage has not stayed in another empress's palace for a day. Don't you just want to make empress happy? Empress, you always avoid seeing it, don't give it to you. There is something wrong with the face of the emperor..."
Concubine Yun Gui didn't care, and said leisurely, "If I don't take advantage of the coldness this time, how can this palace have the opportunity to be petty?"
There was no need to see Emperor Zhaowu, she didn't even care about her makeup, her face was turned to the sky, but it was the demon concubine who was in the sixth palace. His eyes were full of smiles, much more sincere than when he saw Emperor Zhaowu.
"In normal days, the petty temperament is too much, and it can only be annoying. It's rare when he does something wrong. Mommy, don't persuade me, this palace has made up my mind. , he can give the Qin family more compensation in exchange."
Concubine Yun's eyes became cold and sober. She was in the palace wall and couldn't find a single word of "benefit".
Seeing Jiang Rao coming, she stopped talking to the old mama, beckoned, and called Jiang Rao to sit next to her, smiling happily, "The trial for Zhang Liuyuan and Shen Que will come out soon, both of them, in the end, There is no escaping the charge of disrespect."
"It's not a pity for Shen Que." Yun Guifei picked up a cut lantern flower and played with it in her hand, and said in a low voice, "That Zhang Liuyuan, it's rare to see that he can learn your father's calligraphy and painting so well."
The palace maid at the back echoed, "It's absurd to learn so much, but to be poor and to be lured by Yinliang to make a big mistake."
Jiang Rao said: "That man is a gambler. My father bought his paintings, and the money he left behind is enough for him to eat and wear for the rest of his life."
"Is there such a thing?" Concubine Yun Gui was rarely surprised, "Isn't he... raising tigers?"
At the end of the year, the Shuxiang Palace was also decorated with lanterns. Jiang Rao looked at the bright red window paper and the snow piled up outside, but she no longer felt cold. Extremely.
"I couldn't figure out why, but this time my father was almost framed by someone. After knowing it was Zhang Liuyuan, he regretted it himself."
"Regret what?"
"He told me that he thought Zhang Liuyuan was talented at the time. If he only imitated his paintings, he would not be able to accomplish anything in the end, which is a pity." Jiang Rao lowered his head, "My father saw that he was poor, and he was afraid that he was short of money. After imitating his calligraphy and painting, he bought Zhang Liuyuan’s paintings with a lot of money, thinking that if he would no longer have to worry about food and clothing, this person might have the heart to think about his paintings.”
"Wrongly paid with good intentions. Buying a painting with a lot of money helped him and hurt him. He was short-sighted, and when he saw prosperity, he was fascinated. However, I can't blame your father." Concubine Yun said coldly, "Blame him for his own greed for shortcuts, mired in the quagmire, and let down the gods reward his talent and ability. He can imitate others and his ability is not low. Why don't you hone your true things?"
Jiang Rao made a sound of "um".
A few days ago, Zhang Liuyuan asked someone to ask Jiang Siye to intercede, but Jiang Siye did not show up, but asked Jiang Ping to send the painting he bought to prison and to Zhang Liuyuan.
Zhang Liuyuan knew that the person who bought his painting was Jiang Xingzhou. Looking at the painting that Jiang Xingzhou had re-inscribed his name, his face seemed to be slapped and he wept bitterly.
Crying that he is taking a wrong step.
When was so poor, thought about it, thinking that one day would be rich, would stop.
But when the painting was bought with a lot of money, he was greedy for the easy money-making taste of relying on other people's reputation.
If he studies calligraphy and painting, at least he will have to wait for ten years, decades or even a lifetime to become famous.
He was so immersed in it, studying Jiang Xingzhou's brushwork, exhausting his spiritual energy along the way, and could never look back.
Even if it's fake, it's just a fake.
Concubine Yun's gaze swept to the bun on Jiang Rao's head, which had been changed into a different style, and it looked like a girl's bun after the bun, and suddenly asked, "Did your father agree?"
This question made Jiang Rao a little confused, Yun Guifei pursed her lips and gestured to her, "Your marriage with the ninth prince..."
Jiang Rao understood.
She had expected that her aunt would ask about this, but when she was actually asked, she was a little shy and lowered her eyes and head.
Yun Guifei looked at her shy appearance strangely.
Ming Shao, who entered the palace with Jiang Rao, spoke first, "Niangniang, a few days ago, Fourth Master asked His Royal Highness Ninth Highness to accompany him to drink, in exchange for His Highness Ninth to stay for a day."
Yun Guifei understood the hint in the maid's words, and immediately smiled, "It's not a few days away from letting go."
She moved her gaze towards Jiang Rao with satisfaction, and saw Jiang Rao lowered her head and blushed on her face, she said "oh", just as she was about to tease this little girl that she couldn't wait to get married. Bending his eyes slightly, he smiled and said to Jiang Rao, "Every year, my aunt will give you a gift."
Jiang Rao came to Shuxiang Palace today with courtesy.
Concubine Yun Gui repeatedly begged Emperor Zhaowu for her family's affairs. It was not because she was a close relative that she could endure it with peace of mind. She bought some things that Concubine Yun Gui liked and could not see in the palace, so she came here.
Hearing that Concubine Yun wanted to give her a gift, she has always been favored and used to it, so she doesn't feel that she can't afford it. She put her hands on her cheeks, looked up at Concubine Yun with moist eyes, and asked curiously, "Auntie, you What are you going to give me?"
The little girl's eyes were full of happiness, so she could not wait to find all the good things in the world for her, Yun Guifei touched her head affectionately, "You will know tomorrow."
The next day, Ning An Bo's House received the imperial decree for marriage.
