Chapter 190: Marrying the Princess (23)
Chapter 190: Marrying the Princess (23)
The moon rises above the treetops, and we make an appointment after dusk.
"Princess, Sheng Baru and the others said they have prepared a flower boat in advance, so you can go by yourself."
Gu Yuxi looked at Cuihong and asked, "Did you hit him too hard yesterday?"
"Who told that guy to climb over the wall? He got beaten up, which was a good thing for him. I didn't know he was an envoy from Hejiang."
When they reached the shore, Gu Yuxi caught a glimpse of Sheng Baru's slightly swollen face. She said, "Forget it, you don't have to follow me."
"Yes."
After getting on the boat, several boatmen began rowing. When they were entering the lake, they all went ashore, and Gu Yuxi also changed to an empty boat.
Looking at the masked man, she smiled and pushed open the cabin, which was full of flowers. Because of the lanterns, the light inside was very comfortable.
After a while, the boat reached one side of the lake and stopped, and the door on the opposite side was opened.
"No more."
He Tuchi closed the door and asked, "Xi'er, do you like it?"
"I like it. How did you make these?"
"As long as you like it, we will set off for Hejiang in three days. I am afraid that you will miss home too much, so I want to spend the festival with you."
Gu Yuxi took the wine glass and poured wine for the other party, saying, "Then you have to accompany me well."
He Tuchi directly moved the small table outside, held the person in his arms, and said, "Xi'er, drinking at night is harmful to your health, so we won't drink anymore."
"Then bring it here."
"I can't drink this wine. I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself later. The wine that Sheng Baru gave me contains aphrodisiac ingredients."
"Then we won't drink. But what are we going to do? Waiting to see the Flower King and listen to Lady Miaoyin singing?"
"Xi'er, don't mention the others."
After saying that, He Tuchi started to make some moves. The two of them slept almost exclusively last night, but that couldn't happen tonight.
“It’s still outside!”
"Xi'er, it's noisy around here, it's okay."
Gu Yuxi felt that the other party became arrogant after opening up the "Ren and Du Meridians". If this continued, wouldn't she be eaten up by the other party?
After a moment of indulgence, the two of them were naked and hugged each other. He Tuchi pulled the blanket and covered them. It was so unbridled. They were so frank with each other.
Seeing the man coming over again, even if it was not the last step, Gu Yuxi was afraid that the two of them would do something out of line.
"Achi, these flowers are not normal either, wake up."
Seeing that the man's eyes were becoming more and more abnormal, Gu Yuxi picked him up, took out a bottle of pills from the pile of clothes, poured out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth, and then took one himself.
Seeing the man's eyes slightly red, Gu Yuxi sat cross-legged and sent him Qi to detoxify him face to face.
After returning to normal, He Tuchi kept apologizing: "Xi'er, I just couldn't help myself, I didn't mean to be frivolous with you."
"You said to put on your clothes first."
He Tuchi's face turned red. He had never seen such a scene before. He took the clothes behind him and put them on Gu Yuxi himself.
"I'll go back and settle accounts with Sheng Baru and the others, don't be afraid, Xi'er."
"Isn't it to settle accounts with you?"
"Of course you can come to me to settle the score, after all, I was the first to do it."
Gu Yuxi straightened the wrinkled collar of the other party and said, "I want to go to the Lotus Lake to see the moon.
"I'll go paddle."
He Tuchi was rowing with the oars, and a masked woman appeared beside him. She rowed with the oars, and the boat moved quickly.
"Don't waste time. There will be more and more ships here and it will be difficult to leave."
The man took advantage of the situation and the boat quickly left and finally sailed into a lotus pond where a path had been cleared.
"The moon is very round tonight. I wonder when we will meet again?"
He Tuchi hugged the person in his arms and said, "Xi'er, there will definitely be opportunities in the future."
"He Tuchi, can I trust you?"
"Princess Jieyou, I am willing to be your loyal subject for life. Please give me a chance."
Gu Yuxi touched the face, leaned over, kissed the lips, and held the man's head up with his hand to prevent him from falling and hitting the bow of the boat.
[Satisfaction: 77%]
The chirping of insects in his ears, the moon, and the lotus pond were just embellishments at this moment. He Tuchi was addicted to the scent of her body, which made him fall deeper and deeper.
After the kiss, the two of them leaned against each other and looked at the full moon. Time froze at this moment...
"Meet the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery."
"I pay my respects to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Changning looked at the subordinates whom her husband had tried so hard to protect. She had lived a glorious life for most of her life, but her two daughters had suffered a tragic fate. This was not what she wanted to see.
"My Lords, please excuse me. I can't sleep because of the agreement I have. I came to you today to fulfill the agreement."
"You are too kind. I am no longer a subject, but just a commoner."
"Yes, before I knew it, the children have grown up. Princess Jieyou will leave for Hejiang to marry in two days. The time is too sudden. How can I, as a mother, feel at ease?"
"What are your orders, madam?"
Those people looked at Princess Changning and knew that the debt they owed would have to be repaid sooner or later. After all, Zhongyong had died to save their subordinates.
"I just hope that my son will live a safe and smooth life in the second half of his life. My lords, your families have young men with great martial arts skills. I only ask for two of them to protect my son for the rest of his life. Is this request not too much?"
Those people looked at each other. They didn’t expect Princess Changning to have such low requirements. Did she look down on them?
"My son Luo Feng is an excellent martial artist. I beg you to allow my son to accompany Princess Jieyou to the marriage and protect her."
"Your Highness, I am already old, a criminal, and I only have one son. Now that Dongli is in turmoil, please give me some face and let my son have more options."
"General You, you absolutely cannot do that. You Yan is your only family member. If I agree..."
The man knelt down and pleaded, "I hope Your Highness will grant me your permission, otherwise I will kneel down forever."
"You're making it difficult for me!"
Others also expressed their attitudes, saying that this request was not difficult and they would regret it if they missed it.
"Please help me, Madam."
Gu Yuxi was getting familiar with the marriage etiquette after tomorrow. After all, there were quite a lot of procedures and it would take most of the day.
"My daughter, please come out for a while. Mother has prepared a gift for you."
Looking at the familiar people outside the courtyard, Gu Yuxi looked at her old mother beside her in confusion, only to hear her explain: "I am worried about you leaving your hometown alone, so I prepared these six guards for you."
"But I don't lack it, do I?"
"How come there is no shortage? The more the better."
Princess Changning blinked her eyes, and Gu Yuxi understood. A few days ago, her old mother gave her twenty-four death warriors. Although she did not need them, she could not refuse the kindness.
Now she also needs someone she can use openly. The twenty or so new recruits still need some training. She is not worried about Luo Feng and You Yan, but the others may not even be able to defeat Cui Hong.
"I'm sorry to have worried you, mother."
