Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Late at night

Chapter 3

Nanny Li beside Princess Zhou brought in hot tea and saw Jiang Yu. She was stunned for a moment, "Madam, why are you standing at the door?"

Then she quickly realized that she had said the wrong thing. Princess Zhou and the prince were talking about Princess Jialan just now. They were afraid that others would hear it, so they sent all the maids out, leaving only her as a confidant to serve tea and water.

It was also because of this that no one informed Jiang Yu to come over, but she happened to hear it. It was really unfortunate.

Nanny Li turned around and looked at Princess Zhou in the room. She just shouted too loudly, and it was obvious that everyone in the room knew it.

Princess Zhou had a bit of embarrassment on her face, but she quickly regained her composure. Only Lin Ji looked over here, and then he saw Jiang Yu. He had a bit of grievance on his face, ran over, grabbed Jiang Yu's sleeve, but stubbornly didn't say a word.

Lin Bozhi went to see Jiang Yu, thinking that she would cry sadly, but who knew that she was unexpectedly calm.

While waiting for Jiang Yu to come in, Princess Zhou thought that since Jiang Yu had heard everything, it would be better to speak directly. Anyway, this matter was a matter of time.

"Ayu, you heard what I said just now, right?"

Jiang Yu nodded gently and replied, "Mother, your daughter-in-law heard it."

"What do you think?"

"It's all up to you, mother."

Princess Zhou was a little surprised. Although she had always known that Jiang Yu was virtuous and polite, and she was very measured in doing things, she didn't expect Jiang Yu to be so sensible. She thought she would feel wronged and would cry about it, right?

But when she looked up and saw Jiang Yu's outfit, she had been dressed very plainly for three years and had never dressed up. Although she looked good, she looked shabby compared to the grace of Princess Jialan. On second thought, she felt that it was reasonable. With such a background, even she should be afraid. After all, Lin Bozhi was going to be the crown prince. Could she take on the responsibility of a crown princess? Naturally, she would take the initiative to give in.

Sure enough, Jiang Yu's subsequent words further confirmed Princess Zhou's thoughts. She heard Jiang Yu say, "Mother, my daughter-in-law is of humble origin and shallow knowledge. She can barely hold on in Lin'an. After entering the capital, there are many nobles, especially His Majesty. I feel ashamed in front of so many nobles, and I am afraid it will be difficult for me to serve the prince."

Speaking of Jiang Yu, she should be happy that she knew when to advance and retreat and took the initiative to give in, but the atmosphere in the room became a little weird, even a little dark. Lin Ji looked at Jiang Yu several times, obviously disagreeing, but he didn't say anything.

In the evening, a banquet was set up. There were not many dishes, but they were all the flavors that everyone liked, and there was also precious shad. Jiang Yu habitually stood aside to serve Princess Zhou. Seeing that Lin Ji only ate fresh shrimp cakes, she put the fish meat with fish bones picked out into Lin Ji's bowl.

Lin Bozhi seldom spoke at this time, but this time he said, "Second brother, don't be picky about food."

Lin Ji ate silently and looked at Jiang Yu obediently. Jiang Yu smiled and picked up another piece for him. Lin Ji ate it obediently again, but for some reason, Lin Bozhi's face became more gloomy. Lin Ji realized that Jiang Yu only picked up fish for him, but not for his elder brother.

After dinner, they drank tea and ate fruit in the hall. Princess Zhou looked tired. Jiang Yu waited for her to rest. Seeing that she was still so dedicated at this point, as before, Princess Zhou finally felt a little sympathy and sighed, "You have worked hard in the past few years. Mother will not forget you."

Jiang Yu looked normal, but the temperature in her eyes was getting lower and lower. She bowed her head and responded and left.

Jiang Yu walked out of Heshou Hall where Princess Zhou lived, and when she looked up, she saw Lin Bozhi standing in the corridor with his hands behind his back, as if waiting for her. It was such an important matter, so naturally she had to ask again.

Lin Bozhi was still wearing court clothes, and the delicate gold and silver lines shone faintly in the moonlight, noble and restrained, just like himself. Even if he was barely alive and in an awkward situation, he could not stop the edge of the son of the emperor, and sooner or later he would have to pay it back.

The two were destined to have no intersection.

Lin Bozhi walked in front, and Jiang Yu followed. The moonlight sprinkled on the two of them, and from a distance they looked like a perfect couple.

Eunuch Zhang went out for a walk and on his way back he happened to see these two people. He stood quietly and watched for a while, then said, "Today's dinner was arranged by Madam Jiang, right?"

The young eunuch who followed him from the capital said, "It was this one."

Eunuch Zhang rarely said, "I didn't expect that Lin'an would have such a beauty, and she is virtuous and polite. It's really rare. This is also the blessing of the prince, but it's a pity..."

The young eunuch also felt that after arriving at the palace today, he felt comfortable everywhere, whether it was food, accommodation or other things, everything was arranged appropriately. Eunuch Zhang was picky and could not stand hardship. If he was not comfortable living in the palace, they would be the ones to suffer. They had to find a way to make Eunuch Zhang happy.

"Today's dishes are very delicious and exquisite. Even the cooks in the imperial kitchen may not be able to make them. But what's the pity?" The young eunuch praised Jiang Yu a few words following Eunuch Zhang's words, and then asked a question. Originally, when doing this kind of service, it is important not to ask questions that should not be asked, and to be deaf and blind. However, Eunuch Zhang obviously wanted to find someone to talk to, so he naturally had to ask. This is also a kind of knowledge in serving people.

"This Jiang is both talented and beautiful, beautiful and intelligent, but she was born in a humble family. Her future is destined to be more difficult than others." Eunuch Zhang himself took one step at a time and worked very hard to get to where he is today. He likes to see those who are born in a bad family but work very hard, and he obviously feels the same.

"I remember that the prince seems to have an engagement with Princess Jialan? Then what about this Jiang?" People who can serve Eunuch Zhang are naturally not ordinary people. The young eunuch is obviously familiar with these old stories.

"What a joke! The prince is so noble, but there can only be one Princess Jialan in the backyard? There can't be room for a little Jiang from Lin'an City?" said Eunuch Zhang.

The young eunuch also saw the scene just now and said, "I think the prince should be very fond of this Jiang."

Eunuch Zhang didn't really care what the young eunuch said. He just wanted to talk to someone. After he finished talking, he had no interest in continuing the conversation and said, "Go back. You have to get up early tomorrow."

Jiang Yu and Lin Bozhi returned to the East Courtyard. The leaves of the sycamore tree in the yard had turned yellow. They had just been swept at noon, and now the leaves fell on the ground again, making a creaking sound when stepped on.

The maid lifted the curtain and waited for him to enter the house. Jiang Yu began to tell the maids to prepare hot water, "The prince will leave tomorrow, so he must take a bath today."

"I have prepared it a long time ago."

Jiang Yu helped Lin Bozhi change his clothes. The two stood behind the rosewood screen. Lin Bozhi, who had been silent all the time, suddenly asked, "Have you thought it through?"

Jiang Yu found it funny when she thought of the conversation between Lin Bozhi and Princess Zhou. This was obviously the result they wanted, so why did they ask like this now? If she said she didn't want to, she wouldn't accept Princess Jialan as her husband?

Lin Bozhi came over and raised his arm. Jiang Yu came over to untie Lin Bozhi's silk ribbon. This action was too intimate, almost making her half press against his chest, as if throwing herself into his arms.

The palace lanterns were lit in the room, and the orange-red light reflected Jiang Yu's beautiful white neck.

Lin Bozhi looked at him with deep eyes, but heard Jiang Yu say, "I am a humble concubine, and it is a great blessing for me to serve the prince for three years. I dare not dream of more."

As soon as Jiang Yu said this, the atmosphere in the room became a little depressing.

Lin Bozhi said, "Is this what you wish for?"

Jiang Yu said solemnly, "That's right."

Lin Bozhi felt a little depressed, but he couldn't say anything. Since he was going to remarry Princess Jialan, he naturally couldn't take Jiang Yu with him. This was the best way to deal with it.

"In fact, I have one more thing to ask, my lord."

Lin Bozhi raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Yu, his eyes a little cold. What else could Jiang Yu ask for? It was nothing more than the glory and wealth of his father and brother, or his own status.

So the previous words were all about retreating to advance?

But Jiang Yu said, "Please let me go back to the Jiang family, my lord."

Lin Bozhi's eyes were heavy and his tone was cold, "You want to leave the palace?"

"That's right."

Jiang Yu could feel Lin Bozhi's anger. These people were like this. They obviously looked down on her, but they wanted to bind her for life and keep her as a widow for life.

But Jiang Yu knew that Lin Bozhi was a little different. He would agree because of his pride and disdain, because of her diligence in the past three years.

Sure enough, after a while, Lin Bozhi said coldly, "Just as you wish."

It was late at night. It had just rained today, and it was cold and humid. The bathtub in the ear room was steaming. Lin Bozhi didn't like to let the maid get close to him, so he asked Jiang Yu to serve him.

Jiang Yu had already changed into a white inner garment. The garment was a little loose, but it couldn't hide her slim and plump figure. Lin Bozhi remembered that when she first got married, she was still a little thin, but she became more and more plump in recent years.

"Please stand up, my lord."

Lin Bozhi got up from the water with a splash. Jiang Yu was afraid that he would catch a cold, so she hurried over to take the bath towel and wrapped it around Lin Bozhi's body. However, Lin Bozhi was much taller than Jiang Yu, so he had to tiptoe. However, she was a little tired after being busy all day, and the heat was rising, blocking her sight. She almost fell down when she was unstable, but Lin Bozhi reached out and supported her waist.

Such a support made Jiang Yu suddenly think of their encounter that year.

Just like that, the two of them almost hugged each other.

Since Lin Bozhi agreed to let her go home, the two of them didn't say much, and Lin Bozhi didn't even want to give her a glance.

But now, the two of them almost put their chests together, staring at each other, and Lin Bozhi's dark eyes suddenly surged with a deep desire, and he said with a bit of anger, "Are you so unwilling to be lonely? I haven't left yet, and you can't wait to go back and marry someone else?" Originally, it was very irritating, and Jiang Yu was almost crying, but suddenly her vision darkened, it turned out that Lin Bozhi lowered his head and kissed her.

The strange thing is that the words are so ruthless, but this kiss is hot and gentle.

Jiang Yu secretly looked at Lin Bozhi, his eyes were heavy, and she couldn't explain the emotions in them. His handsome profile looked like the young man she met that year and made her fall in love with him.

No matter how many times she saw it, Jiang Yu had to admit that Lin Bozhi was really a rare handsome man.

Will the two of them never see each other again in the future?

Jiang Yu's eyes were filled with a kind of indescribable reluctance, and suddenly there was a fire in her eyes. She took advantage of the situation to wrap her arms around Lin Bozhi's waist and stuck out her tongue to respond to him... Lin Bozhi was stunned for a moment, and then he moved closer to her almost madly as if he was suddenly ignited.

Jiang Yu and Lin Bozhi's sex life has always been regular, and they even follow the days when it is easy to conceive, but Jiang Yu is different today. She wants to have her beloved once and for all.
