Chapter 103: The Minister’s Wife Is So Beautiful (Ending + Extra)
"If you want freedom, I'll give it to you, Zhizhi. I'm no longer the emperor. How about being your attendant?"
Lin Zhiyi scoffed at this and said with a dull face, "Do I look like a fool to you?"
The boat pole was lowered, Duanmu Qi took off the straw hat and got into the boat.
Press the person against the bulkhead and kiss him, hooking his soft lips and tongue around them.
Until Lin Zhiyi was out of breath, he withdrew and said, "Zhizhi is not stupid. You just want to stand on my head. I agreed. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
Lin Zhiyi licked the water stains from the corner of her mouth and said speechlessly, "Look at yourself, do you have the slightest intention of bowing your head and being humble?"
Duanmu Qi stared at the small tongue licking the red lips, his eyes stained with the dark color that Lin Zhiyi was familiar with.
He leaned over and said, "Zhizhi, I can't learn it yet, but you can teach me slowly. We still have time to get along with each other. Before I die, I will always make you satisfied."
Lin Zhiyi said proudly: "What if I'm still not satisfied before you die?"
Duanmu Qi hugged her slender waist and untied her pink and purple belt: "Then in the next life, and in all the lives to come."
Lin Zhiyi's pupils shrank slightly. She did have many lives, but Duanmu Qi did not. Between them, there was only this one life...
Reaching out to hug Duanmu Qi, Lin Zhiyi concealed the emotions in her eyes.
He chuckled and said, "You have no say in the future. You have to behave well in the only life you have left. My son is the emperor now, and I might throw you into jail if I'm in a bad mood one day. Do you understand? Be a good boy from now on!"
The small boat stayed alone in the middle of the emerald green lake, but ripples were spreading out under the boat.
A woman's voice was faintly heard, sounding both angry and coquettish: "Duanmu Qi! Are you done yet? Do you know what the word 'well-behaved' means?"
A mature, deep male voice responded: "Zhizhi, you're so good."
————Extra (Li Song)——
He had been in office for nearly 20 years, and no matter how outstanding his political achievements were or how much the people trusted him, he was always a seventh-rank county magistrate.
Li Song was not unwilling. Sometimes when he stood in the courtyard of the county government office, he would think of the rich color in his life.
He wondered if he had not been the top scorer in the imperial examination, if he had not brought Zhiyi to the capital, or if he had chosen Zhiyi when the emperor asked him whether he wanted a career in government or Zhiyi, would the outcome have been different.
Finally he got the answer, and the result was still the same.
Zhiyi is the moon in the sky. He may be illuminated by the moonlight occasionally, but the moon is ultimately high in the sky and he cannot reach it.
He was lucky to have that moment of reflection in the water.
I went to visit the streets as usual and the villagers greeted me warmly along the way.
"It's County Magistrate Li. Here are some freshly baked buns. Have one?"
"County Magistrate, I have saved a lot of free-range eggs at home. I'll send them to you tomorrow. Eat more to nourish yourself."
"Magister Li, Hua'er has given birth to several puppies this year. I'll give you one to keep as a companion. Since you don't want to marry, what will become of you if you remain single?"
Li Song smiled carefreely. He still carried the title of the prince consort. Although Princess Shun'an had forgotten him long ago, the reputation still existed. He had no intention of marrying, so it was fine to continue living like this.
It was said that Shun'an's life was not going well either. The Emperor disliked him, and the King of Yue didn't care. He returned to his fiefdom early in his life in disgrace. Although he lived a wealthy life, he was always angry and had been taking medicine for several years.
He didn't go to see it, and there was no need to. It would be best not to see it in this life.
As he was walking slowly on the street, the laughter of a lady in front of him suddenly made him freeze. His pupils constricted and he saw a bright smiling face.
The woman, whose age cannot hide her color, is holding a monkey butt-shaped mask and comparing it to the face of the man next to her, her smile is so bright.
And the man he once had to look up to was now covered in all kinds of food, and he helplessly counted the coins and handed them to the boss.
In the end, he was forced to wear that funny mask just for that innocent smile.
When Li Song came back to his senses, the two had already disappeared, but he was smiling widely. It was great, she was so happy!
————Extra Story (Duanmu Yue)——
who am I?
This is a question that Wang Chen has always been curious about, but his master would always say, you are Wang Chen, the secret guard of the regent princess and her husband.
Over time, Wang Chen stopped asking questions and focused on protecting his master.
The master was nice to him. Although he liked to mock him, he never treated him as a servant and often paid attention to his physical and mental health.
But for some reason recently, he was suddenly asked not to follow and to take a few days off.
Wang Chen was worried, so he followed secretly. His master was favored by the Regent Princess, and many people were plotting against him, so he had to ensure his master's safety.
From a distance, he saw that the master was accompanying a couple... probably a couple, as they were standing very close to each other. He could see the possessiveness in the man's eyes even from such a distance.
The master seemed surprised to see the couple and kept saying something. He was standing far away and couldn't hear clearly, but it didn't matter. As long as the master was well, that was enough.
The Third Prince Nanyu was speechless.
"I've heard you two are wandering around everywhere. This is Dayan! If the princess knew you were here, she would definitely capture you and exchange you for favors with Dayao. Xiao Si, are you getting smaller with age?"
Lin Zhiyi said unhappily, "Third brother, don't we have you? We have traveled to many places over the years, and we have come to Dayan for a visit since we haven't been here yet. If my sister-in-law finds out, just beg for mercy."
Nan Yu said angrily, "What are you talking about! I'm a man, I don't want to argue with a woman. I'm pampering you, not begging you!"
Lin Zhiyi covered her mouth to stifle her laughter. Just as she was about to speak, a silver sword shot out from the jungle and headed straight for the Southern Region.
Duanmu Qi frowned and held Lin Zhiyi in his arms.
Nanyu said with a cold face: "Kill them all!" Just as the servant was about to move, Wangchen leaped out and killed all the assassins cleanly and neatly.
Lin Zhiyi said in surprise: "Duan... um." Her mouth was covered by Duanmu Qi who looked at her coldly from behind.
"Master." Seeing the person kneeling on one knee in front of him, Nanyu was embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
He quickly said, "You go down first."
Wang Chen responded, and before leaving, he turned back to look at the woman who was staring at him.
The eyes are quite beautiful, that was the only thought that came to his mind, and then he put it aside and disappeared.
Duanmu Qi finally let go after the person left. Lin Zhiyi quickly took a few breaths: "Third brother, he..."
Yan Yu said awkwardly: "As you can see, Qingjiang lost his memory after he crawled out. I don't know if it was because he cured the sequelae of the life-threatening poison or hit his head. I saw him in Dayan, so it can be said that it was fate."
"That sword that killed me back then, Xiao Si has helped my brother to pay back. Although I still have some resentment, I can't just stand by and watch him die, so I named him Wang Chen."
Lin Zhiyi smiled faintly: "Wangchen... It suits him very well. He has lived a life of willfulness and pain. Forgetting all the past is a good thing for him. Third brother, you..."
I wanted to ask him to take better care of me, but was interrupted by a sudden cold sneer.
Lin Zhiyi turned around and looked at the person whose eyes were not eyes and whose nose was not a nose, and said with a smile: "Duanmu Qi, what age are we? Do we still want to be jealous?"
Duanmu Qi said in an inexplicable tone: "Why should I be jealous? I am the retired emperor who has nothing. Unlike you, you are the powerful Princess of Yue."
"Didn't you confer the title of Princess of Yue? Do you have any sense?"
"No, it makes me uncomfortable to see him."
Lin Zhiyi raised her eyebrows and said condescendingly, "This powerful Princess Yue plans to return to Yongzhou to find some young servants. What do you think, His Majesty?"
Duanmu Qi's face turned dark, and he picked up Lin Zhiyi and flew away.
He left a message: "This Dayan mountain and water are an eyesore. I will not come here again. Take care, Third Prince."
The dimple on Nanyu's face twitched along with the corners of his lips. Does Dayan welcome him? Does it have any self-awareness?
Forget it, he felt relieved that the person had left. It was not easy to be a prince consort these days. He should go back home to coax the children. The princess must be very tired from attending court, so he should make her a bowl of soup.
