As night fell, large gray clouds covered the already not very bright moon, and it was even more difficult to see any fingers in the rockery of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
With no one around, Luo Zhiyi threw herself into Xiao Beilin's arms, her delicate hands gently holding his waist.
"Prince Wen, do you understand my little girl's feelings? The reason why I disregard etiquette and ask you to come here is because I am pleased with you."
Luo Zhiyi's voice trembled, and there was a hint of charm in her pure voice.
Taking advantage of the dark night, a tear slipped from the corner of her eye. She had too much heartache and unwillingness.
Having to take this step today means that we will never have a chance to meet Xiao Beichen again in this life, and all this was caused by Luo Yunchu!
Xiao Beilin directly took her hand and gently put it in the palm of his hand in the dark. His thumb was still caressing the back of her hand intentionally, "I understand, so I came to the appointment. I also like to know my feelings, especially you." Your waist is really soft."
Luo Zhiyi volunteered herself for the sake of her mother and her future. She thought she was fully prepared to face all this.
However, at this moment, her body felt like an electric shock, she was flustered and dizzy, and she twisted unnaturally.
Xiao Beilin chuckled and continued to stroke and tease, never getting tired of it, "Are you afraid?"
Luo Zhiyi's body was shaking slightly, but now that she was already standing here, there was no way out.
Especially if this is not her first time, only the dark and windy nights here can get away with it, "I'm not afraid."
Xiao Beilin took her hand and put it to his lips and kissed her, "Just don't be afraid, I will make you feel very comfortable."
Halfway through the matter, footsteps could be heard faintly outside the rockery. Luo Zhiyi bit her lower lip and dared not speak out.
Luo Zhiyi was afraid of causing more trouble, so she whispered to him, "Your Highness, there seems to be someone, please stop for a moment, please?"
Xiao Beilin chuckled lightly, "Yi'er, please beg me."
Outside the rockery, Luo Yunchu tremblingly raised his hands, covered his ears, and thought to himself: Mom, my ears are dirty. If I had known better, I wouldn't have eaten so much sushi and fried chicken, and I wouldn't have had to walk. You won't hear this...
After Luo Yunchu returned, Xiao Beichen was already in her room. His eyes darkened and his thin lips curled up, "Where have you been so late?"
"We went to the theater," Luo Yunchu thought uncontrollably of Luo Zhiyi's gentle words and got goosebumps all over his body, "It's not important. What's important is to talk about what will happen after we get married."
Luo Yunchu felt that Xiao Beichen seemed to have an instinctive aversion to the word "Yefa Sanzhang", so he changed his words.
That's right, for such a dignified prince, few people may dare to openly negotiate terms with him.
"Tell me about it." Xiao Beichen's eyebrows were clear and his emotions could not be seen.
In Luo Yunchu's opinion, it was because he was not angry. Since he was not angry, she picked up her skirt and sat comfortably on the bed.
He even followed her will to open a dyeing room for just one point of color. She enthusiastically pulled his sleeve and said, "Sit down and chat."
"First of all, we are in a cooperative relationship and it is a fake marriage. There is no objection to this, right?"
Although Xiao Beichen agreed to it himself, for some reason hearing the words "fake marriage" at this moment was jarring.
He took a sip of tea made by Luo Yunchu using fresh lotus flowers and lotus leaves from the spiritual spring, but he felt that he was drinking lotus heart tea, and it felt bitter in his throat. "Continue."
"First of all, we are husband and wife in front of others, and we are friends behind us. We have the name of husband and wife, but we cannot have the reality of husband and wife.
Second, if you meet a girl you really like, you can fall in love, but you cannot marry her during our marriage.
I don't like chickens and dogs jumping around in the backyard. I'm afraid of society and love purity.
Third, I will cure the Queen's illness as promised, and we will reconcile and separate peacefully. "
Although there were some words in what Luo Yunchu said, Xiao Beichen couldn't understand them, but he understood them roughly.
Luo Yunchu raised his eyes to observe Xiao Beichen's expression, and couldn't tell whether it was anger or a smile that was suppressed on his cold face.
Xiao Beichen couldn't laugh or cry, "Why do you only have rights but no obligations?"
Luo Yunchu's eyebrows and her heart skipped a beat. She really hadn't thought about this, "Then what do you want?"
Xiao Beichen walked up to Luo Yunchu and looked at her condescendingly, his black eyes shining brightly under the candlelight.
Luo Yunchu also raised her eyes to look at him. Xiao Beichen grabbed her chin and leaned towards her. His breath was so close that Luo Yunchu was panicked for a few seconds.
Her eyelashes trembled, and she closed her eyes helplessly.
Xiao Beichen curled his thin lips in a beautiful arc. He did not kiss, but came to Luo Yunchu's ear, "I don't like such a cold transaction. Do you really not like me at all?"
What she imagined didn't happen. Luo Yunchu slowly opened her eyes. The man in front of her had serious features and was as noble as jade. He was the type she liked.
She met his gaze with a feeling of warmth in her heart. How could she not be moved by such an outstanding man.
It's just that he is an ancient prince, and she is a modern woman. One grew up in a patriarchal society where women are allowed to have three wives and four concubines, and women are objects. The other only wants to be favored and doted on.
No matter what you think, neither of them are compatible.
Luo Yunchu blinked and looked away, "I can understand if you don't want to, but I also have principles and bottom lines. At worst, I pack up my things and run away, and I will never find anyone to marry."
Xiao Beichen's eyes dimmed almost imperceptibly, he pinched his brows, and after a moment he said: "A girl with such delicate skin and tender flesh like you has to be dragged up the mountain to be the wife of the village as soon as she runs away."
Seeing that Luo Yunchu didn't speak, Xiao Beichen thought she was scared, so he sat down next to her with her legs open.
"Okay, we will get married as you wish. Although you are only a side concubine, in the absence of a main concubine, you will be the mistress of Prince Yi's Mansion.
Therefore, whether in front of others or behind others, you must safeguard the interests of Prince Yi's Mansion.
Also, you can't get too close to other men for the whole day you stay in Prince Yi's Mansion. I don't want to be laughed at because there is a green grassland above my head. "
"Deal." Luo Yunchu responded readily.
Xiao Beichen was also an efficient person. He came to the Prime Minister's Mansion in person the next day to make an appointment.
Dongmei ran to Luo Zhiyi with a bang, "Miss, Prince Yi's Mansion has come to hire someone, and Prince Yi came in person."
Although she knew this day was coming sooner or later, Luo Zhiyi still felt that the plums in her hand suddenly didn't taste good, "Groom me, I'm going to take a look."
When she came to the front hall dressed up, Aunt Wen was smiling and said to Xiao Beichen: "You can just send the matchmaker to discuss the marriage. I think you have to make a hard trip."
"Yes, you have a distinguished status. There are not so many red tapes when marrying a concubine. When the time comes, just carry her out through the side door in a formal way." Mrs. Sun still looked so nonchalantly.
