MTL - Accidentally Married Miss Empress-Chapter 9
The summer breeze came slowly, and Gong Yu only felt that the sleep was very comfortable.
When he woke up in a daze, his eyes were bright, the bead curtain swayed slightly, Gong Yu sat up, only to find that he was still in the water pavilion.
The sun rose slightly, and the sun slanted down in the pavilion. At this time, it was not hot, but rather cool.
Dai Ruyan sat down on the low desk, holding a pen in her hand as if she was writing something, she seemed to notice Gong Yu's search and smiled slightly, "It's almost lunch time, if you don't wake up again, I won't wake up. You can't do it."
Gong Yu got up and got up in embarrassment, and tidied up her robes: "I can't blame it, it's all Ayan's too cool here, suitable for sleeping."
"By the way, did I tell Ayan about the second sister's consort last night?"
Dai Ruyan paused slightly and said, "What's the matter with Song Consort?"
Gong Yu was clumsy and managed to fasten the belt, put on a robe, and approached and said, "I happened to meet that concubine Song last night kissing and hugging her, it's very intimate."
"Just this?" Dai Ruyan's brows slackened slightly, and she said disapprovingly, "According to the laws of the palace, the concubine can also take a concubine. Are you so curious?"
Um..., I'm ignorant.
Gong Yu sat on the side, reached out and picked up the towel on the side, wiped his face and said, "Could it be that Ayan wants to share the person she likes with others?"
Dai Ruyan raised her head slightly and responded, "Being a Dai woman and love is just a dream, why should you care."
"I don't care, I don't like it anyway." Gong Yu stepped barefoot on the floor covered with the mat, and after a brief wash, she sat lazily aside.
The water droplets running down the cheeks wet the broken hair and also wet the collar of the robe. Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan with bright eyes, and said with a cute smile:
"Hey Ayan, tell me what you like?"
"What do you want to do?" Dai Ruyan lowered her head slightly, looking at Gong Yu, who was lying beside her regardless of her image, with a smile in her eyes, she just thought it really looked like a kitten.
Gong Yu blinked, rubbed her head slightly against Dai Ruyan's leg, looked up at Dai Ruyan and said, "I just want to hear it and do nothing else."
Dai Ruyan seemed to be thinking, and even forgot to put down the pen in her hand, the half-open curtain swayed slightly, and the hair on Dai Ruyan's cheeks also fluttered.
After waiting for a while, Gong Yu didn't hear Dai Ruyan's answer. She just saw that Dai Ruyan seemed to be in a daze. Just when she was called, she heard Dai Ruyan staring at Gong Yu very seriously and whispered:
"I never thought about it, so I don't know."
Gong Yu's cheeks were hot, and she responded slightly: "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry now."
Dai Ruyan put down her pen and lowered her head and said, "Aren't you in a hurry?"
"It's normal for a fourteenth woman to marry, but if the sixteenth is not married, there will be criticism."
"It's someone else's business to be urged by others. Could it be that Ayan is also anxious to marry?" Gong Yu asked with a blink of an eye.
"Of course I'm not in a hurry." Dai Ruyan wiped the dripping water stains for Gong Yu with a close-fitting handkerchief and replied, "But I have to wait for Xiaojiu or two years, maybe by then the old Zhuhuang will be to be despised."
Gong Yu said with a smile, "Ayanmei's beauty is so beautiful, not to mention sixteen, even twenty-six is also pretty."
Dai Ruyan's knuckles pinched Gong Yu's little face, and the corners of her mouth rose: "You are slick, you are not allowed to fool other little girls in the future, otherwise..."
"How about otherwise?" Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan with sly eyebrows.
"Then leave you." Dai Ruyan retracted her hand, helped Gong Yu, and tidy up Gong Yu's messy robes and said with a smile.
Gong Yu laughed out loud, her eyes never leaving Dai Ruyan's face for a moment, and she replied bluntly, "Ayan, you are so fierce."
Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu helplessly and said in a low voice, "The war is about to stop."
"Then the battle was won?" Gong Yu asked, sitting up straight, no longer joking.
Dai Ruyan shook his head and said, "Aliens are good at fighting, especially sneak attacks. In the past half a year, the war has consumed most of the palace's national strength. Yesterday, the emperor was hit by an arrow on the battlefield, and it is at stake."
Hearing this, Gong Yu probably knew why Dai Ruyan would say that the battle was about to end.
The emperor was seriously ill and the battle could not be delayed. A little carelessness might lead to chaos.
Gong Yu said calmly: "Then this war is estimated to be a peace talk."
"Well." Dai Ruyan poured tea and took a sip: "The news of the end of the war should be announced soon."
"But the peace talks are just a matter of losing money, doesn't it mean that this half-year battle was in vain?"
"War is like this. The royal family will definitely let the aliens withdraw from the territory for the sake of reputation. The aliens want nothing but real money."
Gong Yu drank the bitter tea sullenly, her eyes stopped on Dai Ruyan's expression when she said this, usually as if she was discussing the taste of tea that didn't matter.
It seems that the gentle Dai Ruyan on weekdays and the indifferent Dai Ruyan who discusses the cruelty of war are not the same person.
After turning to Mangjing, the distant wars were frequently reported, and the capital was decorated with lanterns and lanterns, and everyone was smiling.
Gong Yu stayed in the mansion and never went out. The daily schedule was full of homework.
The housekeeper watched his little prince grow up with joy, but he didn't know that his favorite sweets, yogurt, hadn't tasted much recently.
In the waterside pavilion, Gong Yuzheng picked up a pen and practiced calligraphy. The paper was scattered on the mat, sparkling, and the pavilion was very bright and quiet.
Gong Yu, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the low table, didn't know that someone was approaching quietly, but felt a little itchy neck and stretched out his hand to scratch it.
"If you catch it again, it will be red."
Gong Yu looked sideways at Dai Ruyan who was approaching and asked, "Why are you here?"
Dai Ruyan was sitting on the side, with a slim figure, and her light blue sleeves complemented her fair complexion.
"Xiao Jiu is not happy?" Dai Ruyan returned with tea in hand.
"No." Gong Yu looked at the scorching sun outside and explained, "It's so hot outside, it's inconvenient to come out. Is there something wrong with Ayan?"
Dai Ruyan put down the tea, took out a porcelain bottle of ointment, and said, "I heard that you have been locked out of the house for the past few months, only practicing riding and shooting, busy with homework, and don't come to my place often, so I have to come here to find you."
Gong Yu sat cross-legged and asked, "What is this?"
"An anti-itch cream."
"For me?" Gong Yu said, already quite consciously pulling up her sleeves and approaching.
Dai Ruyan smiled lightly with the ointment on her fingertips and replied, "You are quite self-conscious."
Gong Yu only felt that the ointment was slightly cool and very comfortable. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Although it is cool in this waterfront, there are too many mosquitoes."
"Then you are still nesting in this water pavilion all day." Dai Ruyan moved her fingertips, Gong Yu felt comfortable and didn't want to move, so she fell to the side.
"I can't help it. It's hot. I can't wait to cut my robes short, so that I don't feel bored."
"Don't, although the weather is hot, it's still a little cold at night, so please bear with it."
After the arm was smeared, Gong Yu lay down comfortably and didn't want to move, only to see Dai Ruyan's fingertips pulling Gong Yu's collar lightly and whispering: "Let me see where you scratched just now."
Gong Yu tilted her head slightly, revealing half of her neck, only to see Dai Ruyan's serious expression, she reached out and touched it lightly and said, "It's so red and swollen, you must have been scratching it for a while."
"It's so itchy that I can't see it."
The ointment was really comfortable to apply, and Gong Yu called out with the corners of her mouth bent, "Ayan..."
"Um?"
"You said that if we were seen like this, would people be misunderstood?"
Confusion flashed in Dai Ruyan's eyes, and she looked down at Gong Yu, who was half-undressed. Her bright eyes were like stars. She slightly hesitated to retract her hand, and carefully pulled Gong Yu's collar to answer:
"If anyone sees this, that person will die."
Gong Yu was stunned for a moment, thinking that Dai Ruyan's words were definitely not just jokes.
I saw Dai Ruyan staring straight back at the scattered papers, reaching out to pick up the nearest paper, looking at it carefully and saying, "Although the handwriting is a bit scribbled, it is much better than before."
"I've put in a lot of hard work here."
"The emperor will return to the court in a few days. It coincides with the Zhongyuan Festival. The sacrifices are very complicated. You must pay more attention and make no mistakes." Dai Ruyan said, and asked after a slight pause: "It's terrible for you to be alone in this mansion. ?"
Gong Yu naturally didn't care much about ghosts, but asked Dai Ruyan so carefully, which made him a little moved.
"Of course I'm not afraid. I'm all too familiar with this mansion."
"I went to the temple yesterday to ask for it." Dai Ruyan took out something similar to a talisman bag from her sleeve pocket, stretched out her hand and tied it to Gongyu's wear.
Gong Yu lowered her head and smelled the fragrance of Dai Ruyan's body, which was very similar to the fragrance of pear blossoms. She saw that the white and slender fingertips were tied with the thin belt, and her eyes were very gentle.
Gong Yu's heart was beating so fast, Gong Yu turned her head sideways and looked away, her fingertips nervously holding the scattered corners of her clothes and said, "The weather is so hot, the journey to the temple will take most of the day, it's a lot of work. Ah Yan."
"It's okay, please rest assured."
The sound of birds chirping in the waterside pavilion was clear, and along with Gong Yu's gaze that had nowhere to rest, she carefully moved to Dai Ruyan's side, and Gong Yu touched the talisman bag with her fingertips and asked in a low voice, "Why are you doing this to me? it is good?"
Dai Ruyan seemed to think of something sad, and after being silent for a long time, Gong Yu hurriedly said, "I just ask casually."
"I had a little sister when I was young. She was frail since she was a child, and she went away later."
The words were very light, Dai Ruyan's expression was natural, but there was sadness in those eyes.
Gong Yu sat bewildered and said softly, "Don't be sad, I didn't mean to."
"It's nothing, it was a long time ago, and even my mother doesn't remember it."
Dai Ruyan naturally restrained her emotions and drank tea quietly, as if what happened just now had never happened.
It was getting late, and at dusk, the sky was covered with sunset clouds, and the air also had the smell of burning earth.
Occasionally there was a breeze but it was still warm and uncomfortable. Gong Yu picked up the folding fan on the side and fanned the wind lightly, and stayed quietly beside Dai Ruyan.
For the first time, Gong Yu felt that she didn't know how to joke with Dai Ruyan, because the sadness in Dai Ruyan's eyes made her heart hurt.
