Chapter 374 The incomprehensible style
His deep eyes, which rarely held an unfathomable depth, were now clear and bright. Seeing him like this, Sikong Jin's smile grew even more radiant, her starry eyes gleaming. She grabbed Di Beizun's long, slender hand, gave him a lewd look, and said, "Your Majesty, that's wonderful! You're finally mine!"
As she spoke, she lowered her head and placed a kiss on the back of his hand as if in a devout manner. When she looked up triumphantly to see how he would react, she found that his deep eyes had returned to their usual unpredictable state, and he was staring at her meaningfully, looking like he was watching a good show.
So calm?
Lady Sikong felt a strange unease and was about to say something to break his composure when she suddenly caught a peculiar burning smell. She sniffed, looking at him with some surprise, and asked, "Do you smell anything strange? A burning smell..."
Di Beizun raised a handsome eyebrow, smiled calmly, and glanced at a certain spot behind her. Lord Sikong was startled and quickly followed his gaze, looking behind him. Upon seeing what he saw, he exclaimed in surprise—
"My hair!"
He slapped it out, extinguishing the flames burning at the end of the hair. He picked it up and saw that a small wisp of it was already burning.
Seeing this, Di Beizun couldn't help but chuckle, "This is called 'extreme joy turns to sorrow'!"
Lord Sikong glared at him in annoyance, but seeing him grinning from ear to ear, he couldn't help but say, "What's the big deal? If you piss me off, I'll shave my head and hang around you every day, raving about you all the time! Anyway, I don't look in a mirror, so I can't see my own reflection and can torment your eyes as I please."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Beizun was taken aback, and it took him a while to recover. Seeing her rare coquettish expression, he couldn't help but reach out and put his arm around her shoulder, chuckling softly, "Sikong Jin... the only person in the world who could come up with such ingenious ideas is you... being with you, I... I... feel very real and very happy..."
"My elder sister just got married to her husband at the end of last year. I should have told you, but there's no way around it now. Let's go back to the capital together after this great battle and visit them."
Upon hearing Di Beizun's words, Lord Sikong raised an eyebrow in surprise and asked, "She's married?"
"Yes, the prince consort is a pretty good person, and they should be very much in love now."
Emperor Beizun gave this reply indifferently.
"It's unbelievable... In the blink of an eye, time has passed so quickly. It feels like I just met her yesterday when she was all alone, but now she's married to someone else."
Sikong Jin rubbed her forehead, casually picked up a piece of firewood and tossed it into the fireplace. "Actually, she already knew my identity, didn't she?"
"The Moon Soul in your hand is a symbolic object. I reminded you of that back then, didn't I?"
Di Beizun remained calm, glancing at her with a faint smile on his lips. "The Moon Soul was a token of love that the Empress Dowager said she would give to my Crown Princess. I'm sure you can guess that yourself. Moreover, I remember that you promised me a condition back then."
"Is that so? I don't recall. I never make any promises to anyone. You're mistaken, Your Majesty! I'm so hungry, Eunuch Xu! Where have you been? Hurry up and serve the food!"
Upon hearing the word "conditions," Lord Sikong immediately became alert and stood up!
If she doesn't become more shrewd, he'll eventually drain her dry. So, from now on, she must be extra careful in dealing with this man!
"I'm coming!"
At this moment, Eunuch Xu finally directed the maids to bring up the heated dishes.
They neatly arranged the dishes and then quickly removed them from the kitchen.
Sikong Jin was finally able to sit down and went on a rampage, tearing off a pigeon leg and taking a big bite. Di Beizun considerately served her half a bowl of soup and brought it to her.
"By the way, have your men prepare some medicine and provisions for me. My army of over 100,000 will arrive in Hanyang tomorrow. The weather is really cold, and the brothers' bodies are not able to withstand it. You also need to borrow a few of your army doctors. Also, you need to prepare some tents and clothing for me to keep warm. I know you made a lot of money by plundering the land near the Jiangxi fortress. Don't think you can keep it all to yourself."
Lord Sikong enjoyed the soup that was handed to him quite comfortably, while saying something.
"That's how it is in the dead of winter. I've prepared plenty of these things; I'll have them delivered to you tomorrow."
Emperor Beizun seemed completely unsurprised by Sikong Jin's suggestion, and said calmly.
So calm and composed?
Lord Sikong raised an eyebrow in surprise, thought for a moment, and then continued, "I also need to allocate 100,000 taels for military expenses, 80,000 taels for labor costs, and 60,000 taels for moral encouragement... Hmm? Where did you go? Aren't you going to eat? It's so delicious?"
Before Lord Sikong could finish speaking, Emperor Beizun suddenly got up and walked inside.
"Your Majesty, would you like to take a bath? After you finish eating, I'll accompany you and make sure you're thoroughly clean..."
"Sikong Jin, if I hear such frivolous words again, see how I deal with you!"
Finally, Emperor Beizun couldn't take it anymore and gritted his teeth, saying this. But Lord Sikong shrugged and muttered, "If I didn't take liberties with you, would you give me money?"
……
After a satisfying meal, Lady Sikong quickly washed up and returned to bed. By then, Emperor Beizun was already fast asleep. She crawled into the inner part of the bed and, seeing that it was almost dawn, pulled the covers over herself.
She had just lain down when, as if suddenly remembering something, she kicked Di Beizun a few times, but he didn't react. She frowned, lay flat on her back, and whispered, "Your Majesty? Your Majesty?"
"Ok?"
Emperor Beizun responded with a sound of agreement.
Lord Sikong coughed lightly and said, "I'm done washing!"
"Ah."
Di Beizun didn't even lift his eyelids, his eyes were lightly closed, and he calmly responded with this sentence.
"You took a rose petal bath, it smells really nice, smell it..."
Lady Sikong stretched her delicate hand under his nose, but before it could reach his handsome face, he grabbed it and pulled it down. "Sleep, it'll be dawn soon, Ajin!"
There was a hint of weariness in Di Beizun's voice.
"Your Majesty, I feel cold..."
As soon as Lord Sikong finished speaking, Di Beizun pulled the blanket over himself closer to Lord Sikong.
Seeing this, Lord Sikong finally couldn't take it anymore!
Holy crap! This guy has absolutely no sense of romance!
