Chapter 1118： The price of trusting women

Chapter 1118 The price of trusting women

It wasn't until night fell and the big red dragon and phoenix candles in the bridal chamber were lit that the drunk groom was helped back.

The nuns who came from the palace gathered around and gave the groom a bowl of hangover soup, and then they were chased away by the third princess with a wave of his hand.

The nuns were still a little hesitant. After all, the groom still had to lift his hijab and drink a glass of wine. These rules had not yet been completed.

But they did not dare to disobey the princess's orders. Not only did the princess have a bad temper, but they only said that they would also make a living in the princess's mansion from now on and count on the princess's rewards.

Soon, there was only one colorful cloud left in the room.

The third princess lifted her hijab, directed Caiyun to help her take off her phoenix crown, put on a wide and cool nightgown, and then washed her face.

After everything was done, Caiyun went to the kitchen to get some hot rice and vegetables.

The third princess ignored Lu Zong who was lying at the table and ate most of her meal in one go before chasing Caiyun away.

“You go down.”

Caiyun's eyes were full of worry, and she couldn't find any reason to stay, so she could only say, "Princess, if you have any orders, just call, and the servant will be right outside the door."

The third princess nodded, and Caiyun slowly withdrew.

The third princess opened the wine bottle and looked at it, then raised her hand to pour two glasses. Finally, she knocked on the table and said, "Consort, it's time to wake up. Let's talk."

Lu Zong frowned slightly and slowly opened his eyes.

As expected, his eyes were clear and he was not drunk at all.

The third princess smiled slightly and said, "Everything in the past is over and there will be no more arguments. Now that we are married, let's talk about how to get along."

“I have no other requirements. I just need to maintain my dignity in front of others and not let my father bother me.

In addition, my consort cannot stop me from going out or doing anything.

"Similarly, I won't stop you from doing anything. Let's not offend the river! Can you do this?"

Lu Zong looked at her expression carefully, feeling a little guilty in his heart.

He was heartless and loveless, but he still married her.

For women, it is indeed a grievance.

What's more, as a princess, she is prouder than any other woman...

“Princess, I...” He wanted to explain a few words.

But the third princess waved her hand and responded coldly, "Don't say anything else, just know it well. From now on, treat each other as guests and save some face for each other."

After saying that, she pushed a glass of wine in front of Lu Zong, "Drink the glass of wine, and we will make a contract."

Lu Zong sighed inwardly, nodded, and picked up the wine glass.

The two of them intertwined their arms and drank the wine in one gulp.

The third princess threw down the wine glass, got on the bed, and said, "Let's sleep together tonight, the nuns are still guarding outside."

Lu Zong nodded. After a brief wash, he took off his coat and slept next to the bed.

The daily life of two people after they get married will be recorded by the nanny and sent to the palace regularly.

Although the queen is gone now, no one should pay special attention to her.

But if the emperor asked a few questions and found out that the couple had not been together since their wedding night, he would definitely be angry.

For him, keeping a low profile is the way to go these days.

He has more important things to do and cannot tolerate any accidents or mistakes...

It’s just that I don’t know what it’s like at Broken Gold Beach on such a night, and whether that girl has any nostalgia or regret for him...

With such random thoughts, he wondered if the wine he drank earlier had some stamina. There was a fire burning in his belly, which made his mouth dry and his consciousness soon became blurred. The third princess listened to the movement beside her, slowly sat up, and took off her nightgown little by little...

The night bugs kept squeaking outside the window, which made Jiayin a little irritable.

She pushed open the window, leaned on the window sill, and threw a fruit core into the grass.

Sure enough, the night bugs immediately became quiet.

The little fox, who came back to play in the evening, was lying on the table. Hearing the noise, he looked over, yawned again, and continued to fall asleep with his tail circling.

Human beings are trouble, and they get troubled at every turn.

The happiest thing is being a fox. When I have nothing to do, I feel even happier when I think about how to swindle a few more fish cakes from my master tomorrow!

Shui Ling and Shui Yun live next door. They are quietly listening to the noise next door, and then continue to do needlework.

Shui Ling couldn't bear his temper and lowered his voice and asked Shui Yun, "Do you want to persuade the master?"

Shuiyun rolled his eyes at her and replied, "How do I persuade her? Can you understand?"

Shui Ling grinned, a little discouraged.

“Then you can’t just look at your master and be unhappy.”

Shuiyun sighed, scratched his scalp with the tip of a needle, and whispered, "Master is smart and understands everything. It's just because he understands so much that he feels uncomfortable."

Shui Ling blinked twice, as if he understood, but not completely.

Shuiyun didn't expect her to be enlightened, so he put down his needlework, urged her to clean up the bed, and then fell asleep.

Thousands of miles away, near Jiangbei Border Pass, the Northern Expeditionary Army was at the end of its strength due to continuous pursuit and battle, and was exhausted.

In the camp where they temporarily settled, bonfires were burning everywhere. The soldiers took the time to take out dry food and ate it with cold water in their water bags to fill their stomachs.

In a temporary tent, a group of generals were discussing the war.

Someone said, "Master Marquis, we have been advancing for several days, and the soldiers are too tired. If we continue like this, we will easily suffer losses if we encounter a large group of barbarians. It is better to repair for a day or two before continuing."

But some people shouted, "It can't be done, Mr. Marquis, you can't do it in one go! We will see the border soon. We can take advantage of the high morale to drive the barbarians out of the pass! After all, we don't have much food and grass." Let’s fight quickly!”

For a time, everyone was divided into two groups, each with its own support and quarreling over their own opinions.

Li Laosi injured his arm the day before yesterday, and it was hanging on his chest now. He felt a little annoyed when he heard it, and then slapped his hand on the table.

“Quiet! Listen to what the Marquis has to say!”

He has a loud voice and is the most courageous in killing enemies. His prestige is much higher than that of others, and everyone is convinced.

At this moment, everyone looked up and looked at the Marquis who was studying the map attentively, and they all closed their mouths with some sarcasm.

Jiang Cheng smiled and helped to ease the atmosphere, and responded, "Whether I'm resting or continuing to attack, I have one wish. Next time you go to battle, can you take me with you! I'm busy cooking and feeding horses in the back every day, and I have to forget about myself. It’s a warrior!”

Everyone laughed and responded one after another.

“That won’t work, I haven’t killed enough barbarians yet.”

“When the barbarians are driven out of the border, it will be your turn to fight!”

Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes, expressing his dissatisfaction with his colleagues, and then turned to Li Laosi, "Your arm is not healed yet. You can stay back for two days, and I and the Marquis will go out instead."

Just when Li Laosi was about to refuse, he said again, "It's just once, I won't go next time. Otherwise, when I go back to Xindu, people will ask me. I followed Lord Marquis on a trip to Jiangbei, and I didn't kill a single barbarian. It's really too bad." Shame on you."

When the other generals heard this, they laughed again.

"Then let's see. If we encounter a barbarian group, I'd better follow the Marquis. It's too dangerous." Li Laosi thought of a compromise, and Jiang Cheng didn't choose it and agreed with a smile.

Coincidentally, at this time, war drums suddenly sounded at the camp gate.

This is the signal for a barbarian sneak attack!
