Chapter 117
Chapter 117
Luo Jinshu has always liked to drink strong alcohol.
Or in other words, it's not because of liking, but simply forming a habit.
When she was a child, she lived in no fixed place, wandering in various thatched huts and ruined temples, living a life without a meal, she was very thin, almost skinny, and suffered from various serious diseases Ailments never stopped.
But she didn't feel too uncomfortable at that time. A child who has never tasted sweetness will not think about sweetness at all.
Until one day later, when she was resting in a ruined temple, she met an old Taoist priest in ragged clothes.
At that time, the Taoist priest had a jug pinned to his waist, and since he entered the ruined temple, he began to hold the jug and drink with his neck up, enjoying himself for a while.
Luo Jinshu had never drank this kind of thing, and he didn't know what the wine tasted like, but judging from the Taoist's appearance, he guessed that the wine must taste good.
Thinking of this, Luo Jinshu curled up, and hid himself in the weeds again.
No matter how delicious the wine is, it has nothing to do with her, and she can't taste it anyway.
It's getting colder and colder, and it's the most difficult season of the year, and life is the most important thing. She has to think about how to continue living.
Luo Jinshu thought happily here, and didn't notice at all that the Taoist priest had stopped drinking since some time ago, and a pair of clear eyes that didn't match his age had already looked towards her.
"Hey, that little beggar over there!" the Taoist called her, "Did you just keep staring at me?"
When Luo Jinshu saw that he was calling her, she felt a little flustered, but she didn't move, she was still nestled in the same place, and just said nothing in a muffled voice.
"Do you want to taste my wine?" The Taoist laughed, then got up and moved to Luo Jinshu, squatting in front of the straw pile to look at her, "wine is really delicious, once drunk Solve thousands of worries."
"Yeah." Luo Jinshu responded, feeling that the Taoist should have no malicious intentions, so he poked his face out of the haystack to look at him, blinking his eyes, "Since this thing is so good, give me a taste." Try it..."
"Okay." The Taoist priest was also generous, and immediately pinched Luo Jinshu's face, took the jug and poured it into her mouth.
The wine is indeed good wine, mellow and strong, but Luo Jinshu has never drank it before, and he can't taste the fragrance hidden in it at all, only tastes bursts of spiciness.
It's just that after taking a few sips, Luo Jinshu's little face, choked by the wine, turned completely red.
She turned her body away, tilted her head and coughed fiercely, and only then felt her throat a little more comfortable.
But the pungent feeling was still there, overflowing in her mouth, and even caused waves of heat in her body, as if being burned by fire, which could not fade away at all.
"How is it?" The Taoist smiled at her, "Is it delicious in the world?"
How can it be!
Luo Jinshu tilted his head to look at him, feeling dizzy and dizzy, and his mind became increasingly unclear, as if a fire was burning in his heart.
But what surprised her was that after drinking those few sips of wine, the severe cold outside seemed to disappear immediately, the coolness that had been covering her body was gone, and her whole body was actually warm.
So when Luo Jinshu shifted her gaze to the pot of wine again, there was a distinct emotion in her eyes.
……
These few sips of wine made Luo Jinshu sleep until night.
When she woke up, it was completely dark, and there was a flash of thunder outside, as if it was going to rain.
Luo Jinshu doesn't like rain. Rainy days are very cold, and the sound of raindrops falling on the ground will also make her feel flustered for no reason.
So she turned over and turned her back to the window, intending to block everything outside.
But this one really startled her.
The Taoist priest was still there, and he was still drinking at the moment, but he was not just drinking, as if there was a roast chicken in front of him.
The smell of the roast chicken was very fragrant, and the wind blowing in from outside couldn't help but drilled into Luo Jinshu's nose, and she immediately widened her black eyes when she was greedy.
"Are you awake?" Seeing her appearance, the Taoist couldn't help laughing, then moved aside to make room for her, "Let's eat together, I guess you are hungry too."
"Okay..." In the end, Luo Jinshu did not refuse.
She had indeed been hungry for a long time, her stomach was already empty, and her chest was so hungry that it was almost stuck to her back.
Such a move by the Taoist priest could almost be said to have saved her life.
Luo Jinshu lowered his eyes, rubbed the corners of his clothes in front of him with both hands, and finally came to the Taoist priest and sat down.
"Thank you..." she said softly, tears welling up in her eyes.
The Taoist priest didn't speak, he tore off a chicken leg and stuffed it into her hand.
Since that day, Luo Jinshu has been staying with the Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest likes to drink and eat meat on weekdays, but he has never eaten alone. As long as he has a mouthful, he will definitely give it to Luo Jinshu.
Luo Jinshu stayed with him for a long time, and he also learned to drink. He drank with this Taoist all day long, so uncomfortable and comfortable.
Not only that, this person is also very knowledgeable, whenever he has free time, he will take the initiative to teach Luo Jinshu to read and write, tell her poems, and the art of war, as long as he knows it, he will teach her everything.
Luo Jinshu followed him bit by bit, and gradually learned a lot of knowledge and skills, and gradually grew into a brave and strong person.
Later, the Taoist priest even taught her a unique skill that no one else knew.
easy.
But at that time, Luo Jinshu hadn't fully learned it, and when she only had a half-knowledge of this skill, she was taken in by the officials who happened to pass by here.
That official was naturally Sun Ningyu's father, named Sun Jie.
At that time, he was ordered to come to this city to do business, and he accidentally saw this child standing in the ruined temple reciting poems, and a trace of curiosity and pity suddenly arose in his heart.
Especially the confidence and determination hanging on her brows are even more unforgettable for a while.
So after finishing everything, he decided to take the child back to the mansion. If she is trained well, maybe she will really be a useful talent in the future.
At that time, she couldn't remember whether Luo Jinshu agreed to his proposal, but the expression on the Taoist priest's face and the words he said still lingered in her ears.
He said that the old man must take Luo Jinshu away. This child is talented, and if he can be trained well in the later stage, he will shine brightly.
When he said this, his attitude was both sincere and humble, and all he used was in a begging tone, which made people feel distressed for no reason.
At this moment, Luo Jinshu suddenly realized that he might have regarded himself as his family.
Who isn't, though.
……
At that time, Sun Jie took Luo Jinshu away, it was all just an accidental act.
But he never thought that such an accidental action by himself would directly change everything that would happen next.
At that time, the first emperor was seriously ill, and his health was deteriorating. It happened that the Jin army came to attack him at this time, which accelerated the speed of his physical decline.
Soon, the first emperor fell ill.
A few years later, he died directly and went west, leaving behind a bunch of unfinished business.
In the current situation, there is an urgent need to support a new monarch to succeed to the throne.
The empress at that time, who is now the Empress Dowager Dong, has always been childless, so the ascension of any prince or princess will not do her any good at all.
When Empress Dowager Dong was gloomy and at a loss, she happened to meet Luo Jinshu who was in the palace with Sun Jie on business.
Unexpectedly, this child looks exactly like the little princess who has almost never shown her face in front of outsiders!
It was at this moment that a scheme gradually appeared in Empress Dowager Dong's mind.
Just...just ask this yellow-haired girl to replace the little princess, she wants Luo Jinshu to be her puppet.
So there are these things after that.
She ordered someone to secretly kill the little princess, and let Luo Jinshu take her place, while she supported and cultivated the girl with all her heart, and Luo Jinshu, a child who had always been competitive, had calmed down a few times when she personally went to the battlefield. After a war, the throne finally came into her hands.
Empress Dowager Dong was very happy, and she planned to sit back and enjoy the success full of joy.
But she never thought that Luo Jinshu would be a biting wolf.
Luo Jinshu has accumulated a lot of knowledge and experience through her early study and acquired training. Since she took office, she has carried out substantial reforms, not to mention abolishing many old systems, and has also achieved more for the people. Many benefits.
The people below said that she was really a king of the people, a good emperor who cared about his subjects wholeheartedly.
But in this way, it completely violated the wishes of Queen Mother Dong.
She no longer loves and loves Luo Jinshu as she did at first, but has directly turned into a gritted hatred.
So all these years, she has been using the power she holds in her hands to suppress Luo Jinshu overtly and covertly, and even assassinated Luo Jinshu on the way to leave the court for a private visit.
But...it's almost over.
How could such a person let her continue to be arrogant.
Thinking this way, Luo Jinshu drank the wine in the glass, then got up from the chair, and walked towards An He's direction.
"Why didn't you come back?" She whispered, maybe because she drank too much wine today, her face was a little drunk, "I'm still waiting for you to toast with me."
When she said these words, An He remained silent, her head was still buried deeply, and her little face was flushed.
Luo Jinshu was puzzled, so he simply lifted her chin, forced her to look directly into his eyes, and asked softly, "What's wrong with you?"
When she saw An He's eyes suddenly filled with moisture, her red lips were slightly parted, her breath was very hot, and even her neck turned a light pink, making her look extremely cute.
Seeing such a scene, Luo Jinshu's pupils tightened, and he swallowed subconsciously.
"I'm so hot." When she heard An He say this, the expression on her face looked a little flustered and helpless, "Aren't you, aren't you..."
"What's the matter with me?" Luo Jinshu looked at her straight, and opened his lips slightly to ask such a question.
"I saw you throwing, throwing the medicine in the flowerpot." The effect of the wine was so obvious that An He was almost unable to stand, so he could only reach out and grab Luo Jinshu's sleeve. Throwing it aside, "Did you drug me..."
"I don't." Luo Jinshu just wanted to shake his head to explain to her, but saw the man in front of him suddenly pouted his lips and started crying.
"I'm so sad..." An He lay all over Luo Jinshu's body, and wrapped her arms around her neck tightly, as if to hang on her body, "Okay hot."
Drank too much.
At this moment, such an idea popped up in Luo Jinshu's mind.
Although she is also interested in An He, she is definitely not such a villain who would take advantage of others, so she simply pursed her lips and did not look at An He's little face that was so close at hand, and directly bent down and hugged her , put her gently on the bed.
"Wait for me." She said, "I'll get you some water to wipe it off."
After she explained this, before she could leave, An He who was lying on the bed suddenly grabbed her sleeve again, and she couldn't break free no matter what.
She sighed, and was about to turn her head to say something to An He on the bed, but suddenly met her watery eyes.
puff.
Luo Jinshu heard the sound of his own heartbeat.
……
An He was already too strong to drink.
This body seemed to be a level weaker than her own, but after just a few glasses of wine, she was already in high spirits, her cheeks were too red, and there seemed to be a fire burning in her heart.
But she didn't know it herself. Ever since she saw the medicine-wrapped paper thrown in the flowerpot, she attributed all her reactions to the medicine.
The system seemed to have said something to her in her mind, but now that she was so drunk that she couldn't even hear what Luo Jinshu said, how could she tell what the system said.
She only saw that Luo Jinshu seemed to be leaving, she didn't know where to go, and she didn't know if she was going to abandon her.
Panic suddenly surged in An He's heart, and he quickly reached out and grabbed the corner of her clothes, unwilling to let go no matter what, his unreasonable appearance was like a three-year-old child.
Luo Jinshu was helpless, but he couldn't bear to let the person in front of him stay here alone, so he finally retreated and held her hand tightly.
"I'm here to accompany you, okay?" She asked softly, stretching her slightly frowning brows, and there was a tenderness in her eyes that she had never shown to others.
"Hmm." An He leaned towards her in response, and sat beside her with her eyes closed, her breathing was still messy, like a fish stranded on the beach.
"Are you still uncomfortable?" Luo Jinshu asked her, raising his hand to touch An He's cheek.
"Hmm..." An He responded softly, her voice already filled with tears.
Luo Jinshu's fingertips felt a little cool, and it was very comfortable to stick to the skin. An He seemed to have gotten some life-saving straw, and kept rubbing her hand, and the expression on his face was tainted with a little fascination.
Looking at her like this, Luo Jinshu couldn't help but feel even more moved.
After covering An He's cheeks with her hands back and forth to cool down for a while, her hands were also soaked in An He's body temperature and gradually became warmer.
An He was dissatisfied, so she simply gave up those two hands, and continued to look for new places, rubbing her cheeks against Luo Jinshu's body, and finally, directly touching Luo Jinshu's cheeks.
Don't come here again.
Luo Jinshu didn't move, just let her rub against him, and even straddled his lap in the end.
Come again, I may really want to kiss.
In the final analysis, she is an ordinary person after all, even though it is rumored that she is only obsessed with government affairs and is not close to men or women at all, but in fact she is not without any desires.
Especially when facing An He, who made her heart flutter like this, everything sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and all of them sprouted quickly.
So in the end, she still kissed An He's lips.
Accustomed to being a high-ranking enlightened master, this time she simply wanted to be that villain she had always felt ashamed of.
The night passed quickly.
Not only was An He hungover, but he was also tortured by Luo Jinshu all night, his head and waist hurt, and he felt uncomfortable all over.
When it was almost dawn, she opened her eyes and took a look, and saw a vague figure standing beside her, holding a cloth in her hand, wiping her cheek very carefully and meticulously.
Looking at his figure, An He knew that this person must be Luo Jinshu.
Can't go wrong.
With that in mind, she closed her eyes again.
This person is the current Holy Master, and it is probably the first time that he is serving others with such care.
But this is indeed what she should do. This person secretly used tricks to drug herself, and then he had to kiss and hug her and do all kinds of things that shouldn't be done. It is really not wrong to let her serve him.
"That..." Seeing her thinking like this, the system couldn't help but chuckle, "You really wronged Luo Jinshu to death."
"What do you mean?" An He squinted his eyes and asked.
"Obviously you were the one who insisted on posting it to seduce others when you were drunk, but why did you still rely on them in the end." The system was speechless.
"How could it be me..." Hearing what he said, An He was a little dazed for a while.
She frowned, and thought about it for a while with her dazed head, but she still couldn't remember the scene at that time.
The only thing I still remember clearly is the piece of paper that was thrown in the flower pot.
Seeing her like this, the system couldn't help sighing, guessing that An He couldn't remember anything, so he didn't waste any more time with her, and just told her all the ins and outs of the matter.
Including how Luo Jinshu discovered the package of medicine, and how he sneaked downstairs to find the two dogs in the backyard for experiments, and even her facial expressions and movements at that time, the system completely followed An He Repeated.
Hearing what he said, An He's cheeks blushed immediately, and groups of shame flooded his heart, for fear that Luo Jinshu might misunderstand whether he wanted to do something to her.
"So what if I misunderstood or not?" the system said, "Anyway, what should have happened has happened, and what shouldn't have happened has also happened."
"Yes... oh." An He was silent for a moment, and finally realized the reality.
"Let's sleep again." The system said, "The dream is still very good."
"Oh." An He responded, not knowing what else to say, so he readjusted his breathing, closed his eyes and planned to sleep again.
During this period, Luo Jinshu was still by her side, even in his sleep, An He could still feel her presence.
For example, the hand she gently placed on her lips to caress, for example, the scent that surged when she brushed her hair, and for example... her breathing and heartbeat resounding in her ears.
……
An He's sleep time was really not short, and when she woke up again, it was completely dark again.
Luo Jinshu was not in the room, An He rubbed his eyes and searched around but did not see her, so he planned to open the door and go out to have a look.
But before she could push the door open, Luo Jinshu had already walked in before her.
There are even a few fireworks in my hand that I don’t know where I got them.
Because of what happened between the two of them, An He didn't dare to look at her face at this time, but if she looked away suddenly, it seemed that she was deliberately avoiding Luo Jinshu. It's not good at all.
So after realizing this, she didn't move at all, and looked directly into Luo Jinshu's eyes in that posture, but her soul was a little empty.
Luo Jinshu was also staring at her, and the two of them stayed silent for a while just like this.
Until the end, it was Luo Jinshu who took the lead.
"Let's go." She said, stepped forward gently and grabbed An He's wrist, "I found a good place, let's go up and set off fireworks together."
"Where is it?" An He asked, Luo Jinshu tightly grasped the hand that was about to be raised.
"The roof." Luo Jinshu smiled, took her hand and ran quickly, rushing out the door like a gust of wind.
Pulled by her, An He ran forward with all his strength, only to feel that the surrounding scenery seemed to shake, and all of them turned into lights and shadows of various colors, running away from him.
The only things that are always reflected in front of my eyes are Luo Jinshu's long hair blowing in the wind and his not so wide but still reliable back.
There is only one way to the roof - a ladder.
Luo Jinshu's physical fitness is good, and climbing this thing is not a problem at all, but An He is different. Her body is already fragile, and she has just been tossed by Luo Jinshu, and her waist is still full of discomfort, so a Time is hard to climb.
"It's okay." Luo Jinshu looked at her face, raised his lips and smiled at her lightly, "Yaqing, just climb up, I'll protect you from behind."
"Is it okay?" An He was a little worried, "If I accidentally fall, it won't be with you..."
"It's okay." Luo Jinshu shook his head, his eyes were very firm.
Seeing her like this, An He didn't say anything, just pursed her lips and stepped up the ladder, struggling to climb up against the discomfort in her waist.
The ancient ladders were not as humanized as the modern ones. An He felt like he was in danger of falling down anytime while standing on them, and the ladder would shake a few times when the wind blew under his feet.
But unexpectedly, she didn't feel scared, perhaps because Luo Jinshu was always behind her, which gave her an invisible sense of security.
So they climbed all the way down, and An He quickly reached the top of the ladder.
The first thing that appeared in front of my eyes was the starry sky and the beautiful and heart-stirring moon.
"Coming?" Sun Ningyu and the others were also sitting on the roof at this time, and even set up a small table with a lot of wine and meat on it.
Seeing An and the two of them coming up, Sun Ningyu quickly waved in their direction, with a very nice smile on his brows.
So the four of them sat together in a circle around this small table, taking into account the starry sky.
"Fang Yaqing, try this!" Sun Ningyu said, reaching out to pick up the pastry on the plate and stuffing it into An He's hand, "This is the pastry I learned to make from the store today, try it and see if it tastes good?"
"En." An He responded, not forgetting to taunt Sun Ningyu, saying that you would have such an ability.
But the body was extremely honest, directly took a big bite of the pastry and put it into his mouth, squinting his eyes and chewing for a while.
To be honest, Sun Ningyu's craftsmanship is really good. The pastry is soft and sweet, but the sweetness is just right, and it won't make people feel greasy at all.
An He finished eating the one in his hand, and before Sun Ningyu let it go, he went to take a new one and put it to his lips to eat, and gave her a thumbs up by the way.
"Excellent, isn't it?" Sun Ningyu raised his eyebrows, but his eyes were not on An He, but staring at Luo Jinshu in a showy manner.
"Presumptuous." Luo Jinshu whispered something to her, but a smile unconsciously formed on the corner of his mouth.
It has been a long time since such a scene and such a cheerful atmosphere before him.
Ever since she became the emperor, she has been holding on to her heart, and she has to think over and over again before doing anything, and she is under pressure that most people can understand every day.
Not only her, but also Sun Ningyu and Jiang Yi.
One is the eldest lady of the Sun family, and the other is the young master of the Jiang family. They both entered the palace willingly to help her, and they have never seen the fireworks and prosperity in this world since then.
Over the years, I have owed them too much.
Thinking of this, Luo Jinshu clenched his fists tightly.
"Why are you in a daze?" Sun Ningyu noticed her strangeness, so he put his elbow on her, "What are you thinking, Miss, you bought the fireworks from the market, and you haven't shown them to us yet."
"Ah." Luo Jinshu nodded in response, took out the fireworks pinned to his waist and divided them into several, and took out flints to light them.
"Before lighting it, let's make a wish." Jiang Yi suggested.
"Alright." Luo Jinshu nodded upon hearing this.
After saying this, she turned her head to look at An He's face, with a slight smile on her lips: "Yaqing, do you have any wish, maybe it will come true if you say it."
"What about you, do you have any wish?" An He didn't answer, but asked the question again.
"Well, I want the common people to have no worries about food and clothing, I want this river and mountain to be immortal, and I want the country to prosper." Luo Jinshu said, then lit the fireworks in his hand, and then set them high He lifted it up, as if he wanted to ignite all the stars in the sky with this light.
"Is there any more?" An He smiled, and raised her head to watch the burning fireworks with her, with a beautiful light reflected in her eyes.
"Of course there is." Luo Jinshu nodded, "I also hope that Yaqing can live happily ever after."
I have to admit that Luo Jinshu's words are extremely touching.
Especially when there is such a beautiful starry sky and bright moon as the background, it can't help but make people more excited.
Hearing what she said, An He's ears turned red inadvertently.
She coughed dryly, took the flint that Luo Jinshu was holding in her hand, and lit all the fireworks in her hand.
During this period, Luo Jinshu had been looking at her with seriousness and curiosity in his eyes, and he looked very cute.
He doesn't look like a monarch at all, just like a young man in his prime with ideals and ambitions.
Seeing her like this, An He couldn't help curling his lips.
"Tell me." Luo Jinshu said, "Tell me, Yaqing, what kind of wishes you have."
"I hope that all the things Ah Jin just said can be realized one by one." An He said this, without calling her His Majesty or Miss.
Instead, she was called by her boudoir name—A Jin.
Luo Jinshu twitched the corners of his lips slightly when he heard the words, and his eyes were immediately stained with tenderness and satisfaction.
"Not only that." Immediately afterwards, she heard An He say, "I want to add another wish."
"What?" Luo Jinshu looked at her with a hooked smile, his feet happily stepped on the tiles on the roof to beat time.
"I also hope that you, A Jin, can live happily ever after." An He said, his voice sounded extremely gentle.
"En." Luo Jinshu nodded in response, moved closer to her again, took her hand and put it on his lips to kiss, and replied very piously, "I heard Yaqing's wish."
"I will."
