Chapter 325 Sacrifice

The night is deep, and everything is quiet. The whole huge Tokyo city is like a tired child, falling asleep quietly.

Chu Tianya walked to the high platform, overlooking the whole city, and blowing the cool breeze of the late night of the Song Dynasty.

This platform was personally designed by Cai Jing, a former powerful master, and invited many well-known architects at that time to build it. The building towered into the clouds, which can be said to be the highest building in the whole of Tokyo, even higher than the building in the palace.

The name of the building, the platform.

At present, there is a saying that you can see the moon before entering Tokyo. The implication is that you can see the platform from afar before you step into Tokyo. It can be seen that it is almost the "landmark" of Tokyo now.

"Lord, the night is getting deeper and colder. It's time to go back to rest." The rosefinch said not far behind Chu Tianya.

"Well..." Chu Tianya answered carelessly, and there was some fatigue in his voice.

The rosefinch was silent for a moment and whispered, "You're tired."

"A little." Chu Tianya turned around and smiled at her, "Would you like to have a drink with me?"

The word "OK" is enough to show that this is not the master's order to his subordinates, but an invitation from a man to a woman. Only in the absence of others will Chu Tianya talk to the rosefinch like this.

"Didn't you just have a banquet in the palace?" The rosefinch smiled and said, "Isn't the wine in the palace enough for you to drink?"

"That can't be called drinking." Chu Tianya smiled slightly bitterly and patted his hands on the railing, "Because there was no one who was right."

The rosefinch nodded gently, "I can drink with you."

Later, the two of them were sitting next to each other by the railing of the highest platform, facing the thick ink night and the intoxicating breeze.

Chu Tianya hasn't really relaxed like this for a long time. He feels like a machine that must run tirelessly.

Stop, it may mean death.

"God treats everyone, and it's really fair." Chu Tianya couldn't help sighing, "The more you get, the more you lose."

"That's it." The rosefinch replied indifferently, "I often think about the same question. Most people in the world admire power, wealth, fame and status. However, if you want to get anything, you have to pay the corresponding price.

Chu Tianya shook his head gently and added a trace of bitterness to his smile, "Actually, I have always been a person with no ambition. I just want to live a very ordinary civilian life. My parents are healthy, well-in-go, my wife and children are safe, and there are no ups and downs, and I am very satisfied with this kind of life.

"Such a thing is said from the mouth of Taishi Chu, the king of Wei, 90% of people will not believe it." Suzaku laughed and said, "But in just a few years, you have climbed from a young official in Longcheng to a position below one person and above ten thousand people. This is enough to shock the world.

"This is actually not what I want. Do you believe it?"

"The letter."

"Therefore, people are always involuntarily." Chu Tianya shook his head and still smiled bitterly, "We can't go back to the beginning, so we can only continue to be real slaves. We have no choice for many things, and we don't even have the possibility of stopping to think. You can only go straight along this road.

The rosefinch paused for a moment and said, "How can you have so many emotions today? Is it because of the official marriage?

"It doesn't matter!" Chu Tianya took a soft breath and said with a self-deprecating smile, "If I tell you, I was actually a little nervous when I saw the Roufu Diji at that time. Do you believe it?"

"I believe it." The rosefinch said without hesitation, "But why?"

"Because she is a beautiful woman, I am a man." Chu Tianya smiled and said, "When a man faces a beautiful woman, he will have such an instinctive natural reaction, won't he?"

"Is that so?" The rosefinch smiled and smiled with her eyes. She put down her glass and looked at Chu Tianya with interest. "Women in the world, you can let it go. Will you still be nervous? I can't figure it out."

"I just want to tell you that I'm just a very ordinary man. It used to be, now, and it will be in the future. Chu Tianya sighed, "But in the eyes of many people, I am no longer an ordinary person. Therefore, I shouldn't have the behavior of ordinary people... So, it makes me very tired."

"I seem to understand a little." The rosefinch's eyes lit up. "When facing Roufu Diji, you also want to exclaim, show kindness, or express anxiety and tension like other men. But because you are the king of Wei, you can't. You have to cover up and be pretentious. What you show in front of everyone is not what you really are at all. You must wear a mask all the time to disguise. Is that right?"

"Yes." Chu Tianya frowned slightly and nodded gently, "There are often talkative and singing performances in Wasili. Those excellent actors have to take a break every time they perform, because they will be tired. But I can't go to the next break. I have to keep my disguise all the time. Do you think I won't be tired?"

"This is the price and pressure you have to pay for where you are today, and it is also a sacrifice." The rosefinch whispered, "Of course, it's far more than that. What you have lost before and what you will lose in the future will be more. And these are not what outsiders can imagine and expect. It's also something they can't understand."

"Only you can understand." Chu Tianya took a deep look at the rosefinch and looked up to drink a full glass of wine.

The rosefinch smiled slightly and accompanied him to drink a full glass.

Then, the two looked at the boundless night market quietly together, in a daze for a long time.

A true confidant can understand each other's thoughts without too much language communication. For the rosefinch, a confidant, Chu Tianya's heart is full of trust and gratitude. But he will not turn this kind of relationship into a man and a woman, or recklessly exchange it for a night's ecstasy.

For Chu Tianya, the rosefinch is too precious. No one can replace it. Whether in the past or in the future, there has always been no shortage of women around Chu Tianya; but the rosefinch is unique.

The wisdom of the rosefinch is that she will never want to have Chu Tianya like a nobleman, even if it is a short night of spring sky. Most of the time, she is silent and non-existent. But when Chu Tianya needs her most, she can always appear at the right time.

More importantly, she seems to always be in Chu Tianya's heart and has never left half a step. She can understand all his thoughts.

Even Xiao Linglong has never been perfect. The rosefinch did it.

"There may be no real friendship between men and women." Chu Tianya suddenly said, "But I know that the rosefinch will definitely always accompany Chu Tianya. It won't be too close or too far."

"I will." The rosefinch replied briefly.

"Am I selfish?" Chu Tianya said.

"It's a little bit." The rosefinch smiled very indifferently, "Who is not selfish? Including me."

"Tell me, what do you want?" Chu Tianya asked.

"I know, as long as I say it, you will definitely give it." The rosefinch picked up the wine glass and played with it with interest in his hand, smiling slightly.

"Yes. I will definitely."

The rosefinch smiled more and more charmingly. The sensibility and wisdom of the mature woman blended so perfectly in her smile.

"Have you thought about the answer to this question for a long time and have always wanted to know it?" She asked.

"Yes. Can you tell me today?" Chu Tianya took a deep breath, "It's just to relieve my guilt about you."

"Okay, I'll tell you." The rosefinch put down the glass and said, "You promise something."

"You said."

The rosefinch looked at Chu Tianya quietly with her smiling eyes, and rarely said so seriously, "Promise me, never say you love me, never think about giving me any name, never let me serve you... And never, never let me leave you!"

Chu Tianya turned his head and looked at the boundless night beside him, silent for a long time.

"Don't you want to agree?"

"I don't seem to have a choice." Chu Tianya sighed gently, "What else can I say?"

"Then you agree." After saying that, the rosefinch stood up and punched Chu Tianya, "Master, the night is already very deep. Please take a rest!"

"Okay..." Chu Tianya smiled helplessly and stood up. He looked at the rosefinch and said seriously, "Thank you!"

The rosefinch replied with an indifferent smile, "Lord, Emperor Roufu is waiting for you."

Chu Tianya was slightly stunned, and then he came to his senses. Yes, on the sixth floor of this platform, Roufu Diji is still waiting for him in the room.

It is said that the emperor's daughter does not have to worry about getting married. The public is getting married. It must be a grand wedding, and many gifts must be in place one by one. Like this, the princess was sent to the emperor's son-in-law's house on the night of the wedding, which is unique in history.

The reason is very simple. Even if Roufu Diji is a princess, she can only be a concubine when she comes to Chu Tianya's house. Because it is known to the world, Chu Tianya has already held a big marriage with Xiao Linglong, the princess of the flying fox, and appointed Xiao Linglong as the imperial concubine. If Roufu Diji wants to marry, she can only be a concubine!

What about the princess? The married daughter is the splashed water. From the moment the emperor gave her the marriage, the fate of Roufu Diji has changed 180 degrees. Previously, he was the direct princess who was spoiled; in the future, she was just a concubine who could be beaten, scolded, played with or even sold by her husband's family!

Since you are a concubine, you don't need to have a royal wedding. Send it directly to Chu Tianya Mansion is the right thing to do. Moreover, Zhao Huan, an official, was too worried that Chu Tianya would go back on his word. He couldn't wait that Chu Tianya was in the bridal chamber with Roufu Diji at the banquet at that time. It's better to have a baby on the spot.

In that way, the Zhao family may be more safe and stable. Compared with this, any wedding and etiquette are so insignificant. As for Roufu Diji's personal feelings... Zhao Huan didn't have time to think about it.

Chu Tianya slowly went down from the top floor of the platform to the sixth floor step by step, and stood outside the door of Roufu Diji's room.

Two maidservants stood at the door with lanterns. Seeing Chu Tianya coming, they hurriedly knelt down and put their foreheads on the ground, "See the king of Wei!"

Extremely frightened, like a little rabbit seeing a tiger down the mountain.

"Get up." Chu Tianya said calmly.

"Thank you, King Wei!" The two maidservant stood up, lowered their heads with lanterns, and did not dare to look at Chu Tianya at all.

Chu Tianya saw that the two maidservants were also beautiful and beautiful. Even if they are thrown into the home of any dignitaries, they should be extremely favored. And now, they are just the dowry of Roufu Diji, and they are the "house maids" of Chu Tianya.

As long as Chu Tianya is willing, he can now take off these two maidservants and drag them to ** to enjoy them freely. It doesn't look good when you wake up tomorrow. You can also sell them like cattle, horses and livestock in exchange for a meal of wine.

For such a maidservant, Roufu Diji brought a total of six. They are all smart and beautiful women carefully selected in the harem, and they are absolutely guaranteed to be a virgin.

"Di Ji has ever slept?" Chu Tianya asked.

"In the words of His Royal Highness the King of Wei, His Royal Highness Diji is waiting for the King of Wei in the room." One of the maidservant replied carefully.

"Go down and have a rest."

"Yes..." The two maidservant gave a gift and went away. Looking at their steps, they are obviously well trained and elegant without hurry.

Taiyin and Taichang took over the duties of the two of them and picked up lanterns to guard the door.

Chu Tianya opened the door. The red candles in the room were swaying and the lights were bright, and the room was full of pearls and treasures. It turned out to be a happy room.

Five women knelt down and said, "Welcome to the King of Wei!"

The one kneeling in the middle of the front is the Roufu Diji in a big red wedding dress. But she didn't wear the phoenix crown of a woman's marriage.

She is just a concubine and is not qualified.

The other four maidservants are only covered with a layer of milky white tulle that penetrates the skin. In addition, there is no more inch. If you take a closer look, you can see the veins and every inch of their bodies.

They are dowry and maids. On the night of the bridal chamber, they came to press the bed for the princess and the son-in-law.

Chu Tianya looked at them quietly. This group of beautiful and seductive women can make any man's blood boil and desire! At the same time, they are also derivatives of power and status, or sacrifices.
