The palace wall reflects the moon

Chapter 102 Extra: Shen Xiao Chapter [-]

She pinched my nose and said arrogantly: "If something happens to you, I will marry someone else. What is there to be sad about?"

I pretended to be angry and threw her down on the grass, tickling her.

"You still want to marry someone else? Are you asked to marry someone else?"

She was most ticklish and begged for mercy again and again. When I let her go, she hooked her arm around my neck and said seriously: "I'm not joking with you. I don't want to get involved in the right and wrong. If you don't obey me, I will really be dissatisfied." happy."

I realized that she really cared about this, and she raised her three fingers and swore to God seriously.

"I listen to Jiang Qingyue and don't do anything Jiang Qingyue doesn't like. If I don't obey, call me God..."

She held my finger and stopped me from completing this oath: "If you don't listen, I won't listen. Even if one day we part ways, you should live well."

"Bah, bah, bah, bah," I felt unlucky. "It's impossible to divide the labor and the swallow."

I looked at her beautiful eyebrows and blurted out: "If you follow someone else, I will kill that man and tie you back to me."

A gust of cool wind blew by, Jiang Qingyue shivered, and stretched out her hand to push me away.

She stood up, her face suddenly turned ugly.

I went on to say, "You can never leave me."

Jiang Qingyue glanced at me, her tone a little cold.

"I will never forgive you if you do this to me."

Her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, without any warmth, even a bit cold and biting.

Only then did I suddenly remember what her mother had gone through. I was startled and hurriedly reached for her hand.

"I'm joking, don't take it seriously."

For me, it was the possessiveness in my heart that prompted me to say those words, but for the moment I ignored that for her, this was the most shameless and despicable act.

She shook it off, a little impatient: "Is it funny?"

She had never spoken to me like this before. I was so anxious that I could only block her way and keep explaining.

"I really can't do that, I'm just talking nonsense, Qingyue, don't you understand me after all this time? If you don't believe me, ask my imperial sister, she knows I'm not this kind of person..."

My explanation is unconvincing.

She ignored me for many days, more than ten days, and the imperial sister also scolded me that I deserved it and refused to help me as a lobbyist.

I became more and more flustered, so that when I stood at the gate of Jiang Mansion waiting for her that day, my eyes were a little red.

She finally stopped turning a blind eye to me and stopped in front of me.

I lowered my head and said, "If you really hate me and don't want me anymore, I will ask my father to cancel the engagement. No matter who you marry in the future, I will... I will bless you."

Saying this, I feel extremely painful, as if I have actually experienced it.

"But before that, you should teach me a lesson for talking nonsense." I handed her a threaded embroidery needle and said with a look of death, "Sew up this disgusting mouth. From now on, It can’t make you angry anymore.”

She looked at me for a while, and finally burst into laughter.

"Let's go," she said, "I'll punish you by treating me to sesame cakes."
-
I probably always knew her bottom line.

Later, during the Mid-Autumn Festival one year, Jiang Zong and others followed me up to the tower.

At that time, Jiang Zong had been staying by my side for quite some time.

He stood behind me, facing the wind, overlooking the Jinling City with me, and asked me anxiously: "Your Majesty, I have an unkind request."

I don't know why.

The next moment, he and the eldest princess Shen Yi knelt neatly in front of me and asked me for marriage in front of everyone.

I was surprised and looked at his and Shen Yi's faces. They both looked serious.

"We'll talk about it when we get back." I responded perfunctorily.

Even though Shen Yi has nothing to do with me.

But the identity of Emperor Jiang Zong's eldest son will one day be revealed to the world, and I have high hopes for him.

There is no way he can be a prince-in-law.
-
In the imperial study, I asked him what was going on with Shen Yi. "I remember that you haven't gotten along with her much, so why are you suddenly getting married?"

Jiang Zong's face looked a little embarrassed, and it was hard to say, "Your Majesty, if I tell the truth, you will definitely cut me into pieces."

I want to laugh.

To put it in a bad light for my reputation, I am afraid that I would be reluctant to punish him even if he committed murder and arson.

I only have one son, and I don’t want to cut off my descendants.

"Say it, I promise you won't die."

He knelt down and prostrated to the ground: "I didn't mean to get involved with the princess, I was really tricked! I just fell asleep, but I didn't know that I hurt the princess while I was unconscious..."

I frowned.

"you've been drinking?"

Could he have inherited my habit of forgetting things when I drink?
Jiang Zong shook his head: "I was knocked unconscious. That person probably wanted to kill me, so I committed the crime of interfering with the princess."

I was relieved.

Since it's not mutual love, it's okay, so as not to put me in a dilemma.

"There is something fishy about Shen Yi, don't take it to heart, I will find out." I supported Jiang Zong with both hands, "I hope you will marry the woman of your choice."

No matter what status a woman is in, as long as he truly likes her and is willing to marry her, I agree.

Jiang Zong still couldn't bear to say: "But many people have seen it, even if I haven't done anything, the reputation of the princess..."

"No one will say anything about the princess."

I feel that this son is kinder after all.

When a princess reaches marriageable age, she is likely to be sent for marriage. In order to avoid marriage, marrying a courtier is an excellent choice.

Everyone in the government and the public knows that Jiang Zong is highly regarded by me and has a bright future, so it is very possible that Shen Yi may have his eye on him.

Jiang Zong knelt down to me again: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

I held his arm to stop his movement and patted his shoulder. He was only 16 years old and as tall as me. "Go back and spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with your mother."

Jiang Zong stood still, hesitant, wondering what he was thinking.

I had a headache: "Do you really want to marry her?"

"No, no," Jiang Zong said with some embarrassment, "My mother said, if the emperor is free tonight, can he visit the Yue Tower..."

He said this on behalf of his mother. He felt extremely ashamed and lowered his head without even daring to look at me. He then said quietly, "It's true for my mother. On a day like the Mid-Autumn Festival today, how can the emperor be willing to leave the palace? But she insists on me asking for help." Your Majesty, please don’t blame me if you mention it.”

I curled my lips: "Really? It's a coincidence. I was planning to go to Lanyue Tower and meet your mother by the way."

Jiang Zong looked up at me in surprise.

"Your Majesty is going to Lanyue Tower?"

"I have to go." I said, "You go back to accompany your grandpa."
-
Lanyue Tower is the tallest building in Jinling City. It used to be called Zhaixing Tower.

Ten years ago, when I climbed up to the Star Reaching Tower, I looked at the starry sky and suddenly thought, what is the meaning of reaching for the stars? Standing at such a high place, I should embrace the moon.

From then on, the plaque of Zhaixing Tower was removed and replaced with the words "Lanyue Tower".

Jiang Qingyue was sitting in the private room on the top floor of Lanyue Building. In front of her was a pot of tea, a pot of wine, a plate of melon seeds and several fruits.

I sat down in front of her and asked with a smile: "You spend so much money to cover a whole floor, and you only order these things?"

Jiang Qingyue said: "You couldn't sleep after eating too much at night, so I didn't order any more food."

She tied her hair up with a simple silver hairpin in her bun. She smiled lightly, like the moon shining on the river, quiet and gentle.

Time has been kind to her.

She wanted to pour me a drink, but I refused: "Forget it, I'm afraid I won't be able to remember what you said tomorrow."
