Chapter 003 The Wedding Night (Part 2)
After Yinmang took Su Wanrong out of the Yangxin Palace, he walked along a marble palace road.
Along the way, the man did not take half of the servant. The further he walked, the more remote the position became, and the surroundings were dark. Su Wanrong was not familiar with the terrain of the palace, so even though the man did not urge him, she had to follow him step by step.
Although this road is remote, the road is paved flat. Even so, when he actually arrived at the "Observatory" that the man told her, Su Wanrong still had a layer of sweat on her face as he walked along the way.
As the name suggests, the observatory is a platform built by Emperor Kaiyuan to view the scenery. It is made of Taihu stones and is also the tallest building in the entire palace.
Su Wanrong didn't expect that the man did not stop in the middle of the night and insisted on running to the observatory to blow the cold wind. He loved to blow the night wind, but he wanted to bring her into work with him to find a life of suffering. But he couldn't wait for her to complain, and the man had already stepped onto a stone staircase earlier than her.
"come over."
Yinmang stood on the stone steps, turned sideways, and waved to her.
This time, before she could respond, he turned around again and went up the stairs directly after falling down the two words.
The steps of the observatory are rotating structures, stacked from the entrance to the bottom layer and extend to the highest point.
Su Wanrong watched the man's generous and tall back gradually fade away. If he turned a corner, he would probably turn the shadows away. She gritted her teeth hatefully. It was so dark below that even if she was reluctant to blow the cold wind on her head, she would never be able to wait here alone. She was forced to follow him and slowly crawl up.
When I stood down and watched, I didn’t feel it. After I actually came up, Su Wanrong realized that this observatory was even taller than I thought. The feeling of getting up now was like the Huatuo Mountain I climbed when I was praying to Buddha and praying for blessings with my father every year.
But the observation deck is much harder to climb than Huatuo Mountain. It is precisely because of its rotating structure that the more you go up, the narrower and steeper the road. There is no one holding a light around, and the faint moonlight shining through the window is originally unseen. When you reach the fourth floor, the steps under your feet are so narrow that it can only accommodate one person wide.
When he looked up at the man in front of him, he seemed to be completely unaffected by the sky or the terrain, and he was still moving forward steadily. In the entire building, he could only hear her breathing heavier and heavier.
Looking at the scene, Su Wanrong felt a little unwilling to accept it. Even though her legs were already a little sore, Su Wanrong still gritted her teeth and forced herself to endure it. However, even though she was very cautious, she turned the corner on the fifth floor, because it was a blind spot that could not be illuminated by light, and her body began to fall quickly.
Su Wanrong widened her eyes and exclaimed. She subconsciously wanted to grab the railing outside the spiral ladder.
But it was too late, and the railing was too far away from her, so she went to catch her randomly, and finally she only grabbed her for nothing. Su Wanrong was so scared that she closed her eyes tightly, waiting for the pain of rolling down the ladder to come.
However, after a moment, the expected pain did not appear, and her feet steadily touched the flat ground again. She opened her eyes in surprise and saw that the man reached out and grabbed her in time.
"It's useless? Without me, I can't even walk well."
Confirm that she had already stood firm, Yinmang immediately let go of her. So Su Wanrong looked up and saw the man's smiling eyebrows. In addition, there was obvious teasing in his words, Su Wanrong became a little angry and embarrassed.
Su Wanrong thought that according to the man's temperament, if he did not mock her, he would definitely make jokes at her. But unexpectedly, this man did not.
Yinmang stood on the steps above her and stretched out his hand to her again.
"Hold."
Su Wanrong was stunned for a moment, staring at the man's deep and wide palm, and hesitated a little.
Yinmang said, "It's even darker, I don't have eyes behind me, so I can't save you in time every time."
Su Wanrong opened her lips and closed it again. After hesitating for a while, she slowly handed her hand over.
Yinmang did not pause at all. He grabbed the little girl's white and tender little hand and held it firmly in his palm. At a pace that was obviously much slower than the other party, he continued to walk towards the fifth floor.
The man slowed down, which was obviously a good thing for Su Wanrong.
His hands were very rough and there were many calluses in his palm. It was different from the calluses that his father had been holding the pen for many years. They were thicker and harder. But at the same time, they were very wide, dry and warm.
Su Wanrong stared at this person's hand and unconsciously recalled the morning Queen's Ceremony. The man also used this hand to hold her. A big, thick and hard man wrapped her entire body inside. It was actually not very comfortable to be held by him like this, but it was unexpectedly reassuring.
While distracted, the two of them had already stepped onto the top floor of the observatory.
At this time, Su Wanrong's physical strength was no longer enough. After Yinmang let go, she squatted on the ground and gasped for breath. When she finally recovered a little strength, before she could stand up, a force suddenly emerged on her arm. It turned out that the man saw that she had enough rest, so he reached out and pulled her up, half-draged her and walked towards the rooftop.
Su Wanrong felt that she could walk by herself, and subconsciously wanted to push him away. But the man ignored him and stopped until he took her to the place with the widest view on the tower.
Although it was only the end of September, the night was already a little cold. In addition, when he was on a high place, the cool breeze became clearer. Su Wanrong was in a hurry and only had a thin shirt outside her bedding. Standing here, she was shaking slightly cold.
Then the waist tightened, and the man leaned over and put her in his broad arms that were as hard as iron, but warm as Shao Pozi. His chin pressed against the top of her head, raised his arm, and pointed to the distance:
"Look at that."
Su Wanrong subconsciously raised her eyes and followed his guidance and looked over.
The place where they stood was the highest point of the entire palace. From this perspective, you can see the winding and rugged eaves of the palace, which are staggered in height. It is almost the same as the Chou Time. From a distance, you can see that there are scattered palace maids and eunuchs walking slowly in red cages on the wide and narrow palace road from time to time.
The palace is very big, but not every place has light. But the stars of candlelight overflowed, stretching beyond the towering palace walls, which was the street market where the people in the city were. The lights of thousands of families gathered together and looked around the distance, and the fire gradually became closer.
This is the first time Su Wanrong stood at such a high place, and she could see the scenery of the imperial city. This feeling is wonderful, because when she stood far away, the originally large things became only the size of rice grains. The entire Chang'an City was cut from west to east by crisscrossing corridors into small pieces of shape, and then slowly extended outwards to the dark indigo sky that could no longer be seen.
"The land under your feet is the entire Chang'an, a place where thousands of people plough day and night. Going north is the northern border, and going west is the Xiluo. The late emperor loved the people, but he was a coward. In the past two years, Hu Di secretly colluded with him in the north, and Wu Yi several provocations in the west. The previous dynasty compromised and tolerated, which was only a illusion of peace for a moment. I am different from them. When I ascend the throne, I will surely annihilate Hu Di, expel Wu Yi, so that the people in the city can live and work in peace, and the world will be peaceful. Wait until then..."
The man paused slightly, and he lowered his head and approached her ears, so the bulging wind sounded clearly into her ears along with his low voice.
"When that time, Wanwan, I hope you can be with me."
**
When they returned from the observation deck, it was almost dawn. The two of them were lying side by side on the couch for the two or three hours, the wind was calm. The man had never made any extra movements and his breathing was calm, as if he had touched a pillow and he fell asleep immediately.
The abnormal person is Su Wanrong.
Since she came down from the observation stand, she finally lay flat on the couch, closed her eyes, and her mind was repeated over and over again, and the words of the man were always hovering:
By then, Wanwan, I hope you are with me.
Su Wanrong is a reborn person, and she naturally knows in her heart that men are not talking big.
In the half month after he ascended the throne, he attacked the barbarians in the northern border in one fell swoop. Now the relationship between the northwest and the capital is tense. Although Chang'an sent a marriage princess to suspend the situation, as the man said at the time, the situation was there, and the war would break out sooner or later. Su Wanrong was also very clear that this man had a long-term plan and indeed had enough strength. In the next two or three years, he would personally lead his troops to slaughter the northwest and push Jin Yuan to a prosperous era.
But, none of these had anything to do with her.
In this life, she is seeking peace and peace and well-being for her relatives. She just wants to live the rest of her life in a simple way. Whether it is the royal family or the man who is the supreme emperor, they are too far away from her.
Sometimes, it is precisely because you know too much that you can find it difficult to move forward.
Su Wanrong could see that this man now has many obsessions with her. But how long can this obsession last? Until now, she still remembers clearly that this man successfully conquered the northern border and defeated Wuyi in his previous life. After gaining a great and beautiful country, he always refused all the beautiful beauties presented by envoys from various countries.
Sometimes Su Wanrong herself also wondered about Miss Su Er, who was half-brother of her and was so-called honor and favored by this man in her previous life. At the beginning, did she also pursue and treat this man in the same way, and even heard him say that she had just stood on the observatory and heard the exact same words?
However, many years later, the man who once had a burning eyes, as if he could only see you clearly made such a true promise to you, and finally he still hugged his three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines.
This is really an extremely ironic thing.
If possible, Su Wanrong wanted to ask what the second girl in her previous life felt in her heart under the circumstances at that time.
In her previous life, she was trapped by love and missed someone, and eventually she was lonely and desperate to death. She didn't want to touch love again in this life. If her father and brother were safe, even if she didn't marry in the end, she would be sure to be comfortable for the rest of her life. But who would have thought that fate made a big joke that made her meet this, and it was not the man she met first.
Su Wanrong was not a stern heart. How could she not be moved by such a man who was so hot that he was so hot that he was so unmoved?
Maybe she should have been moved. She was already moved when he rescued her from the lake, when he carried her all the way out of Boling Mountain, when he smiled and held her hand at the Qunhou Ceremony.
If he was not Emperor Yuan of Jin, even if he was just an unknown little thief who hid in the Taifu Mansion two years ago.
But there is nothing if, no matter what, this person is Emperor Yuan of Jin.
Su Wanrong thought that these should be something she knew very well. God gave her the ability to know the funeral and see everything clearly. It was to prevent her from doing stupid things and not repeat the same mistakes.
But if this is true, since she has already known, she is not on the same road as this man. Why do you always close your eyes and think of people and things that you think of are always about him?
-------------------
Actually, I have always felt sorry for Wanwan. You always say that she is pretentious, but Wanwan has long discovered that she is moved by Yinmang. But in the previous life, our Huangsang looked like a big radish on the surface... I was afraid that Yinmang was the second third prince. After all, at the beginning of the previous life, the third prince was obedient to Wanwan...
But, after all, Huang Sang is Huang Sang, and he is not anyone else. He will always take practical actions to let Wanwan slowly take her guard down.
ps: Don’t believe the introduction too much, but on the real wedding night, Wanwan will definitely have back pain and leg cramps the next day. (It’s not far away, don’t worry.
