Goddess Palace.
Huang Xiu's boudoir was very clean.
Generally speaking, the boudoir layout of a woman from a wealthy family in ancient times would be relatively complex, including various utensils such as washing, knitting, piano and painting. Only this one room can carry all the life of a woman in the boudoir, which is very convenient, but at the same time this It is also a kind of bondage.
Huang Xiu is a monk and a saint, so naturally she does not have to be subject to these worldly restrictions. Her boudoir is simple and elegant, with just some vases, dotted calligraphy and paintings, and a cyan screen to separate the beds. The floor is covered with light vermilion. The carpet is soft when you step on it, and I think rolling on it would be a good experience.
Incense was burning in the room, and as soon as Gu Chi came in, a faint fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose. It was the same as the fragrance on Huang Xi's body, and it smelled very good.
Only then did Huang Si let go of Gu Chi's hand. Her blush still lingered on her face, so she asked Gu Chi to sit down first while she made tea, trying to divert her attention and relieve the tension in her heart.
It just doesn't work that well.
On her wedding day, when she brought her husband into her boudoir for the first time, Huang Xiu couldn't help but think wildly.
Gold and jade will never move, but gold and jade will never move, but it is still broad daylight...
Huang Xiu had always thought that she was a free and easy woman, but when she really wanted to be free and easy, she realized that she didn't seem to be free and easy.
She didn't know how to take it off.
"Good tea." Gu Chi took a sip of the tea handed over by Huang Xi and praised.
He didn't know much about this kind of tea, but he was right to praise it as delicious.
Huang Si: "..."
Seeing that Gu Chi seemed to be really sipping tea, Huang Xiu asked with a blush on her cheeks: "Are you not in a hurry?"
Gu Chi: "What's the hurry?"
Huang Si lowered her eyes and said, "If you're not in a hurry, we can have a wedding at night."
Gu Chi: "..."
You said this.
Looking at the blushing girl in front of him, Gu Chi couldn't help but laugh.
Huang Si's behavior outside could not be called shy. From directly asking him if he wanted to marry, to calling him husband, to paying homage to him, the whole process was at best quite nervous for Huang Si. It was her first time getting married. normal reaction.
It was Huang Si himself who said the flowers and candles in the bridal chamber. He thought Huang Si was really that brave.
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your promise." Huang Si said again.
"Wait, I didn't agree, don't make the decision for me carelessly." Gu Chi said.
Huang Si: "..."
Do you really want to do that kind of thing during the day?
Huang Siu's eyes lowered lower and her face became rosier. She filled the cup of tea for Gu Chi, then silently stood up and walked behind the screen.
Gu Chi said inexplicably: "What are you doing?"
Huang Si replied softly: "Waiting for you."
Gu Chi: "..."
"You misunderstood, that's not what I meant."
Gu Chi explained: "There are only two of us in the room now..."
Huang Xiu interrupted: "So you can do whatever you want."
Gu Chi: "..."
"No, what I want to say is that there are no outsiders here, we don't have to-"
Huang Xiu: "We don't have to be restrained. It doesn't matter during the day."
Gu Chi: "..."
Can you please let me finish?
Gu Chi spoke faster this time: "The cutscene is over and we don't have to do any more drama. Your Highness the Saint can go about her own business and don't worry about me."
Huang Si: "..."
Her steps suddenly stopped, and a complex emotion crept into her heart.
She didn't know what Gu Chi wanted to say, but she just didn't want to hear it.
But Gu Chi still said it.
Could he really not understand his own thoughts?
Gu Chi pretended to be dissatisfied: "Do you think that in the eyes of the saint, I am just a dressed-up beast who will take advantage of others while putting on a show?"
Huang Si: "..."
of course not.
You are worse than a beast.
Huang Xiu glanced at Gu Chi, returned to his seat and sat down.
Gu Chi changed the subject and said, "Is the goddess in retreat?"
This was the question he'd always wanted to ask.
Today, Mu Wanqing stood on Luo Qingshu's side in front of many monks, not caring at all that this was Qihuang Mountain. If the goddess was here, she would never leave him alone.
Later, the goddess didn't show up when he was worshiping. He and Huang Xiu worshiped at a high peak, and Gu Chi guessed that that was where the goddess retreated.
Huang Siu nodded: "Yes."
"So you gave the Holy Elixir to the goddess?" Gu Chi asked.
Huang Xiu: "Yeah."
The goddess is not only her mother, but also the head of a sect. The stronger the goddess is, the stronger Qihuang Mountain will be. There is nothing wrong with her move, both emotionally and rationally.
Gu Chi thought for a while, took out the jade bottle containing another holy elixir from his bag, and put it in Huang Si's hand.
Huang Si: "?"
Gu Chi said: "Take it, it's for you."
Huang Xiu: "Send it to me?"
Gu Chi: "Yeah."
Huang Xiu took off the cork, looked at it, and asked, "Why?"
Gu Chi: "Wedding gift."
Huang Si: "..."
"The marriage is fake, where did the wedding gift come from?"
Huang Xiu didn't realize that her tone was slightly aggravating.
"What's fake?" Gu Chi was puzzled, "You and I just paid homage to each other sincerely, but now I still remember it vividly in my mind. Could it be that the lady is drunk?"
Lady?
Huang Si: "..."
She didn't say anything, just put the jade bottle on the table.
Gu Chi raised his eyebrows: "What? You don't even listen to your husband?"
Huang Xiu didn't accept this trick: "When you recruit a son-in-law in Qihuang Mountain, you are marrying into your wife. According to etiquette, the husband should listen to Huang Xiu's words."
Gu Chi: "..."
Well, he forgot about it.
There's no point in calling me "lady".
But he still has a way.
Gu Chi said: "Did the saint forget that she still owes me half of the conditions?"
"You want to say that this is half the condition for me to accept the Holy Pill?"
Huang Si was not stupid. She could see that Gu Chi was trying to make up for her in various ways, so she might as well just talk about it.
This was also the first time she mentioned this matter in front of Gu Chi.
"Gu Changge, you don't have to feel guilty about this. We just moved the wedding date forward a year. It makes no difference to me."
"If I hadn't met you in the secret realm, the marriage recruitment would have gone on normally and the result would not have changed in any way." Huang Xi said, "I would still have chosen you."
"Or if you don't come to ask for a bride, I have no choice but to marry other men, and no one of those men can compare to you in terms of strength or appearance."
"Even the last people left behind may be people I don't like at first sight. Living with one of them for the rest of my life would be the real grievance."
"So, even if what happened in the secret realm last time was neither what you expected nor what I wanted, I never felt that I was at a disadvantage."
If pressed, Huang Xiu thought she had made a profit, at least Gu Chi was the type she would like.
Just because she doesn't say something doesn't mean she doesn't have her own ideas.
Her body had been given to Gu Chi, and she would either spend the rest of her life with this man or be alone for the rest of her life.
There is no third possibility.
Speaking of which, I would also like to thank Luo Qingshu. If Luo Qingshu hadn't made such a fuss, Huang Shu might not have been able to determine what she wanted so quickly.
Today's events made her already uneasy inner turmoil worse. Maybe she still couldn't say she liked him, but at least she had a real liking for Gu Chi.
Huang Xi hopes to keep this good impression and is willing to wait for it to turn into real love one day. Therefore, she just wanted Gu Chi to continue acting with her.
But Gu Chi refused.
I don’t know whether it’s intentional or not.
unimportant.
If Gu Chi doesn't want to, Huang Si won't force him.
She just thought that the play was over and it was time to end. When the limelight passed, she and Gu Chi reconciled and separated from each other.
"If I had been asked to choose between spending the rest of my life with you or dying alone, I would not choose. I would let you choose." Huang Xi said, "Anyway, I have never had the right to choose. I am used to it."
"But it's different now."
What's the difference? Huang Xiu didn't say. She believed that Gu Chi could understand what she meant.
After she finished speaking her feelings, Huang Xiu changed the subject again: "If you don't suffer any loss, you don't need to compensate. That's what I think in my heart. Believe it or not, it's up to you. I will never accept the holy elixir."
Gu Chi was silent.
He guessed one thing wrong.
The saint is not really unfettered. The shackles that have been placed on Huang Si since childhood are stronger than ordinary people.
Huang Xiu also had some deviations in her understanding of herself. She was actually far more free and easy than she thought.
After a long while, Gu Chi finally spoke. He looked at Huang Si and said, "I can only stay with you for a year and a half at most."
"Because you are not from this world?" Huang Xiu remembered this sentence.
Gu Chi didn't deny it, and Huang Si didn't ask any more questions.
"It doesn't matter, a year and a half means a year and a half." Huang Xi said, "After you leave, I will treat you as dead."
Gu Chi: "..."
"Then you should take the Saint Elixir."
Huang Xiu: "I said I don't need compensation."
Gu Chi: "What if this isn't compensation, but I want to be nice to you?"
Is this a promise? Huang Xiu's eyes flickered: "How can you prove that you want to be good to me?"
Gu Chi: "How do you want me to prove it?"
Huang Xiu: "You want me."
Gu Chi: "?"
"Wait a minute...uh!"
