Chapter 60 The Heart of the Saint (please read it!)
Palace of the Goddess.
Huang Xiu's boudoir was very clean.
Generally speaking, the boudoir layout of a woman from a wealthy family in ancient times would be relatively complicated, including various utensils such as washing, knitting, piano and painting. Only this one room can carry all the life of a woman in the boudoir, which is very convenient, but at the same time this
It is also a kind of bondage.
Huang Si is a monk and a saint, so naturally she does not have to be subject to these worldly restrictions. Her boudoir is simple and elegant. She just puts some vases, some calligraphy and paintings, and separates the bed with a cyan screen. The floor is covered with light vermilion.
The carpet is soft when you step on it, and I think it would be a good experience to roll on it.
Incense was burning in the house, and as soon as Gu Chi came in, a faint fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose. It was the same as the fragrance on Huang Xi's body, and it smelled very good.
Only then did Huang Si let go of Gu Chi's hand. Her blush still lingered on her face, so she asked Gu Chi to sit down first while she made tea, trying to divert her attention and relieve the tension in her heart.
It's just that the effect is not very good.
On her wedding day, when she brought her husband into her boudoir for the first time, Huang Si couldn't help but think wildly.
Gold and jade will never move, gold and jade will never move, but it is still broad daylight...
Huang Xiu had always thought that she was a free and easy woman, but when she really wanted to be free and easy, she realized that she didn't seem to be free and easy at all.
She didn't know how to take it off.
"Good tea." Gu Chi took a sip of the tea handed over by Huang Si and praised it.
He didn't know much about this kind of tea, but he was right to praise it for its delicious taste.
Huang Xiu: "..."
Seeing that Gu Chi seemed to be really sipping tea, Huang Si asked with a blush on her cheeks: "Are you not in a hurry?"
Gu Chi: "What's the rush?"
Huang Si lowered her eyes and said, "If you're not in a hurry, we can wait until night for the wedding."
Gu Chi: "..."
You said this.
Looking at the blushing girl in front of him, Gu Chi couldn't help but laugh.
Huang Si's behavior outside could not be described as shy. From directly asking him if he wanted to marry, to calling him husband, to paying homage to him, the whole process was at best quite nervous for Huang Si. It was her first time getting married.
normal reaction.
It was Huang Si himself who said that the bridal chamber would be decorated with flowers and candles. He thought Huang Si was really that brave.
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your promise." Huang Si said again.
"Wait a minute, I didn't agree, so don't make random decisions for me." Gu Chi said.
Huang Xiu: "..."
Do you really want to do that kind of thing during the day?
Huang Siu's eyes lowered lower and her face became rosier. She filled the cup of tea for Gu Chi, then silently stood up and walked behind the screen.
Gu Chi said inexplicably: "What are you doing?"
Huang Si replied softly: "Waiting for you."
Gu Chi: "..."
"You misunderstood, I didn't mean that."
Gu Chi explained: "There are only two of us in the room now..."
Huang Xiu interrupted: "So you can do whatever you want."
Gu Chi: "..."
"No, what I want to say is that there are no outsiders here, we don't have to-"
Huang Si: "We don't have to be restrained. It doesn't matter during the day."
Gu Chi: "..."
Could you please let me finish?
Gu Chi spoke faster this time: "The cutscene is over and we don't have to do any more drama. Your Highness the Saint can go about her own business and don't worry about me."
Huang Xiu: "..."
Her footsteps suddenly stopped, and a complex emotion crept into her heart.
How come she didn't know what Gu Chi wanted to say, but she just didn't want to listen.
But Gu Chi still said it.
Can he really not understand his own thoughts?
Gu Chi pretended to be dissatisfied: "Am I, in the eyes of the saint, a well-dressed beast who takes advantage of others by putting on a show?"
Huang Xiu: "..."
Of course not.
You are worse than a beast.
Huang Xiu glanced at Gu Chi, returned to his seat and sat down.
Gu Chi changed the subject and said, "Is the goddess in retreat?"
This is the question he has always wanted to ask.
Today, Mu Wanqing stood on Luo Qingshu's side in front of many monks, not caring at all that this was Qihuang Mountain. If the goddess was here, she would never leave it alone.
Later, the goddess didn't show up when he was worshiping. He and Huang Xiu worshiped at a high peak, and Gu Chi guessed that that was where the goddess retreated.
Huang Si nodded: "Yes."
"So you gave the Holy Elixir to the goddess?" Gu Chi asked.
Huang Xiu: "Yeah."
The goddess is not only her mother, but also the head of a sect. The stronger the goddess is, the stronger Qihuang Mountain will be. There is nothing wrong with her actions both emotionally and rationally.
Gu Chi thought for a while, took out the jade bottle containing another holy elixir from his bag, and put it in Huang Si's hand.
Huang Xiu: "?"
Gu Chi said: "Take it, it's for you."
Huang Xiu: "Send it to me?"
Gu Chi: "Yeah."
Huang Xiu took off the cork, looked at it, and asked, "Why?"
Gu Chi: "Wedding gift."
Huang Xiu: "..."
"The marriage is fake, where did the wedding gift come from?"
Huang Xiu didn't realize that her tone was slightly aggravating.
"What's fake?" Gu Chi was puzzled, "You and I just paid homage to each other sincerely, but now I still remember it vividly. Could it be that the lady is drunk?"
Lady?
Huang Xiu: "..."
She didn't say anything, just put the jade bottle on the table.
Gu Chi raised his eyebrows: "What? You don't even listen to your husband?"
Huang Si didn't accept this trick: "The purpose of recruiting a son-in-law in Qihuang Mountain is to marry into a wife. According to etiquette, the husband should listen to Huang Si's words."
Gu Chi: "..."
Well, he forgot about it.
There's no point in calling me "ma'am".
But he still has a way.
Gu Chi said: "Did the saint forget that she still owes me half of the conditions?"
"You want to say that this is half the condition for me to accept the Holy Pill?"
Huang Si was not stupid. She could see that Gu Chi was trying to make up for her in various ways, so she might as well just talk about it.
This was also the first time she mentioned this matter in front of Gu Chi.
"Gu Changge, you don't have to feel guilty about this. We just moved the date of the wedding one year forward. It makes no difference to me."
"If I hadn't met you in the secret realm, the marriage recruitment would have gone on normally, and the result would not have changed in any way." Huang Si said, "I would still have chosen you."
"Or if you don't come to ask for a bride, I have no choice but to marry other men, and no one of those men can compare with you in terms of strength or appearance."
"Even the last people left behind may be people I don't like at first sight. Living with one of them for the rest of my life would be the real grievance."
"So, even if what happened in the secret realm last time was neither what you expected nor what I wanted, I never felt that I was at a disadvantage."
If pressed, Huang Xiu thought she had made a profit, at least Gu Chi was the type she would like.
Just because she doesn't say something doesn't mean she doesn't have her own ideas.
Her body has been given to Gu Chi, and she will either spend the rest of her life with this man, or be alone for the rest of her life.
There is no third possibility.
Speaking of which, I would also like to thank Luo Qingshu. If Luo Qingshu hadn't made such a fuss, Huang Shu might not have been able to determine what she wanted in her heart so quickly.
Today's events made her already uneasy inner turmoil even worse. Maybe she still couldn't say she liked him, but at least she had a real liking for Gu Chi.
Huang Xi hopes to keep this good impression and is willing to wait for it to turn into real love one day. Therefore, she just wanted Gu Chi to continue acting with her.
But Gu Chi refused.
I don't know whether it's intentional or not.
unimportant.
If Gu Chi doesn't want to, Huang Si won't force him.
She just thought that the play was over and it was time to end. When the limelight passed, she and Gu Chi reconciled and separated from each other.
"If I had been asked to choose between spending the rest of my life with you or dying alone, I would not have chosen it. I would have let you choose." Huang Xi said, "Anyway, I have never had the right to choose. I am used to it."
"But it's different now."
What's the difference? Huang Si didn't say it. She believed that Gu Chi could understand what she meant.
After she finished speaking her feelings, Huang Xiu changed the subject again: "If you don't suffer any loss, you don't need to compensate. That's what I think in my heart. Believe it or not, it's up to you. I will never accept the holy elixir."
Gu Chi was silent.
He guessed one thing wrong.
The saint is not really unfettered. The shackles that have been placed on Huang Xi since childhood are stronger than ordinary people.
Huang Xiu also had some deviations in her understanding of herself. She was actually far more free and easy than she thought.
After a long while, Gu Chi finally spoke. He looked at Huang Si and said, "I can only stay with you for a year and a half at most."
"Because you are not from this world?" Huang Xiu remembered this sentence.
Gu Chi didn't deny it, and Huang Si didn't ask any more questions.
"It doesn't matter, a year and a half means a year and a half." Huang Si said, "After you leave, I will treat you as dead."
Gu Chi: "..."
"Then you should take the Holy Elixir."
Huang Xiu: "I said I don't need compensation."
Gu Chi: "What if this is not compensation, but that I want to be nice to you?"
Is this a promise? Huang Si's eyes flickered: "How can you prove that you want to be good to me?"
Gu Chi: "How do you want me to prove it?"
Huang Xiu: "You want me."
Gu Chi: "?"
"Wait a minute...uh!"
