"How amazing. So it's because he doesn't have a name!”Jiang Ling 'er tiptoed and looked into the lotus pond. Then, she turned around and looked at the Imperial Dragon Self-Restraint with a strange expression.
"What's wrong with you?" Imperial Dragon Keji was in a good mood. His face and tone were much gentler. It was no longer as if his smile could freeze people. That lazy feeling was especially elegant and calm.
"It's said that people who are possessed are most afraid of lotus flowers. If there is a lotus flower nearby, the sharp petals will sense it, causing the entire flower to sway left and right.”This was a rumor among the people of Ji Country. When Jiang Ling 'er was young, she heard an old man say that she was very strange when she saw the Imperial Dragon Restrain oneself. It was like a different person from usual. If it was not someone else pretending, it meant that she was possessed.
However, after looking for a long time, he did not see any signs of being possessed.
Yulong Keji followed her line of sight and saw some lotus flowers emerging from the lotus leaves in the pond, like a solitary flower, showing off its pure and elegant charm to everyone. Some hid shyly under the lotus leaves, sometimes appearing and sometimes hiding, like a shy young girl. Some of them were just flower buds, revealing small round heads in the shape of water droplets. They looked young and simple. There were also half-opened and half-closed petals, making people curious about what was inside and unable to help but want to explore.
Imperial Dragon Restraint thought of Jiang Ling 'er. She was like a half-opened lotus flower that made him want to investigate."The breeze shakes the purple leaves, and the light dew blows the vermilion room. The middle pool is green, waiting for me to glow red.”
The poem entered Jiang Ling 'er's ears and rushed into her heart, making her feel excited. What a beautiful poem. She did not expect him to have such a great talent. Jiang Ling' er could not help but have a good impression of him. At this moment, in her eyes, the Imperial Dragon Self-Control was like the most beautiful lotus among thousands of lotuses."What's wrong with you? How strange!"
"I just want to treat my unmarried wife better!”Yulong Keji saw that she was still unwilling to give up and looked at the pond for a long time. He decided to say what he wanted to say earlier. This was something he suddenly decided when he stepped out of Jiang Ling 'er's house.
" You're saying…" Jiang Ling 'er's eyebrows and eyes were knitted together. She wanted to say something but hesitated."Unmarried…who?"
Yulong Keji looked at her twisted expression and wanted to express himself but couldn't. A smile appeared on his face. He didn't have the cold and fake smile he used to have. He looked even more charming."It means that you and I are going to get married!”
"What…what did you say?!" Jiang Ling 'er cried out in shock. She lost her balance and almost fell into the pool. Fortunately, Yulong Keji reacted quickly and picked her up by the waist. She was dumbfounded and stared at Yulong Keji's calm face."You…what do you want!"
"I'm just marrying you!" After Imperial Dragon Keji helped Jiang Ling 'er steady herself, she looked relaxed as if this sentence was very ordinary and marrying her was not a big deal.
" Do you think I'll marry her just because you say so?!" It was just a good one. In his heart, there seemed to be a lot of things. They were all so-called. Jiang Ling 'er didn't even feel that he cared about anything. Perhaps there was nothing or anyone that he cared about, and he wouldn't care.
"Exactly!" Imperial Dragon Keji spoke as if Jiang Ling 'er was the one who insisted on marrying him."It's your blessing that I'm willing to marry you. You should be grateful!”
"What if I refuse?" Jiang Ling 'er suppressed her anger and tried to calm her tone. He was so arrogant. So what if he was the person everyone was talking about, the worried young master who was famous all over the country?
"Your good lover, Young Master Shen Fu of Ji Country, is currently in the palace. If you don't agree, he won't be able to return with his life!”Imperial Dragon Keji said it in a relaxed and casual manner. His words were normal and did not have the slightest intention of discussing. This was a naked threat.
" He..." Jiang Ling 'er stopped talking. What was the identity of this person in front of her? Young Master Sorrow was so mysterious that she did not even know his name. Which country was she in now? Why was Shen Fu here?
"He is here to make peace and negotiate a truce with the Marquis!”Imperial Dragon Keji had already guessed what Jiang Ling 'er wanted to ask. Although he did not ask, it did not prevent him from telling her generously.
"This is the Yan Country!" When Jiang Ling 'er heard the word' peace,'she already knew where this was. Previously, through Jiang Yintian's letter to Shen Fu, she learned that the Yan Country had sent troops to the Ji Country and wanted to occupy the Ji Country. Shen Fu even asked Jiang Ling' er for help, hoping that she could get Jiang Yintian to come forward and ask the Marquis of Ji to send troops to support her. Jiang Ling 'er went to her brother to tell him about this matter, but before she could get a reply, she was kidnapped by He Yulang!
"That's right, so you have to agree!”Yulong Keji had a well-thought-out plan. He was sure that Jiang Ling 'er would not resist for Shenfu.
Jiang Ling 'er's mind was in turmoil. She didn't know whether she should obey him or resist to the end. Shen Fu's life was definitely under his control. She didn't know what kind of status he had to have such great power in the Yan Country. It was an eternal thing that the envoys of the two countries were not killed in a war. He actually dared to kill him. If she didn't, Shen Fu's life might be on the line or even lose his life in a foreign country.
"Let's go back!" Yulong Keji saw her gloomy expression and dispirited look, so he sent guards to send her back to the house.
Imperial Dragon Keji had not appeared for three days. After a few crisp knocks, He Yulang pushed the door open and walked in with a red wedding dress and jewelry in his hands."In the future, I should call you Madam. I wonder if the lodge master likes this title.”
Jiang Ling 'er took the wedding dress from his hand and thought to herself that the Imperial Dragon was really casual. He didn't tailor it for her. However, she didn't do it willingly, so why should she care about these things?
She picked up the clothes and flipped through them, and she couldn't help but look shocked.
The crown was made of high-quality ice silk thread, and the sleeves and collar were embroidered with golden thread. It was luxurious and dazzling. The precious gems scattered on the clothes were placed by the window to reflect the sunlight, and they were flowing with color. There was also a seven-colored crystal on her waist, just like the one on her mask. Unfortunately, it was not a complete set. There were only five red, orange, yellow, green, and green crystals. The remaining blue crystals and purple crystals were rare in the world. She probably only had the two crystals on her mask. It was not easy to find five of them, wasting time and energy.
There was even an exquisite pearl embedded on the Golden Steps Crown. Mo Ran had guessed it based on what he had read and drawn. The Exquisite Pearl was smooth and milky-white in color. Through the sunlight, one could see a red light flickering at the core of the pearl. It was as translucent as water. It was said that this bead could expel all kinds of poisons. It was a treasure that all the kings and generals wanted to obtain in their lifetime. There was only one such bead in the world. He actually inlaid it on the golden hairpin so extravagantly. Wasn't he afraid that others would be tempted to see it?
From this, it could be concluded that this wedding dress was not bought in a hurry, but was carefully crafted. No one knew how long it took to dye it. Who was the real owner of the wedding dress in his heart? What kind of girl could make him prepare such a gorgeous dress for her? Suddenly, she felt a trace of sadness in her heart."This is my wedding dress?"
Seeing her suspicious look, He Yulang leaned forward with a smirk on his face and replied,"It's yours now!"
"Now?" Jiang Ling 'er raised her eyebrows, straightened her back, flung her sleeves, and glared at He Yulang angrily, putting on the posture that a royal noble should have. He Yulang said this on purpose. She understood his intention. He wanted her to ask herself!
Even so, she couldn't lose her imposing manner and make him think that she was a soft person."What about before?"
He thought that changing his attitude and expression would improve He Yulang's tone, but who knew that it was useless at all. His words still carried a hint of jealousy."It doesn't matter who she was before. She's yours now.”
He had deliberately whetted Jiang Ling 'er's appetite without telling her anything. His ambiguous words made Jiang Ling' er very unhappy.
He walked to the table and sat down. He poured a glass of water and took two sips to moisten his throat, as if talking to Jiang Ling 'er was very tiring.
He put down the cup in his hand and looked at Jiang Ling 'er with a smile."You must really want to know why the young master wants to marry you if he doesn't like you!”
This guy was clearly keeping her in suspense. He was even selling her one after another. Jiang Ling 'er did not want to lose her footing twice in a short period of time in the same river. Although she was curious and wanted to know the answer, she did not want to be fooled again.
Jiang Ling 'er looked at his conceited expression and glanced at him. She turned to the window and looked at the green trees and white walls outside the window without saying a word.
When He Yulang saw this, he stood up without any shame and went to Jiang Ling 'er's side. He continued,"It's really not convenient for me to answer about the wedding dress. I can only ask Young Master about it.”
Jiang Ling 'er was still looking out the window, neither turning around nor looking back. She looked as if she didn't care if he said it or not. In fact, her heart was already surging with anxiety, like waves hitting the reef."Go ahead, I'm listening!"
He Yulang respectfully cupped his fists and said the person's name in a steady voice,"Greetings, Miss Yunzhi."
This was what he had learned from Yulong Keji yesterday. He had never expected that a woman from a tavern in Haojing would be Marquis Ji's beloved daughter."Young Master will not want a woman who has no value!”
"What use do I have!" Jiang Ling 'er was stunned. She couldn't think of any benefits. At most, it would be political peace with the Ji Nation.
"Young Master said that marrying you can make up for the extra part of the debt!”In fact, He Yulang did not know what Imperial Dragon Restrain oneself meant. He only said it to make Jiang Ling 'er's heart ache.
Jiang Ling 'er didn't want to continue talking to him. She felt extremely annoyed when she saw his face. Seeing that she didn't say anything, He Yulang didn't continue and walked out of the house leisurely.
The wedding ceremony began at dusk, and the marriage at dusk was regarded as the word marriage. Unlike the modern day wedding, which lasted from morning to night, the welcoming ceremony here was also very short.
