38, shackles
The seventh prince didn't know what Cheng Yuanjia wanted the fish skin to do. Since she said she wanted it, and the fish was originally caught by her, she let her take it away.
This trip to sea can be regarded as thrilling and infinite. Fortunately, the final ending is still very gratifying, which finally makes everyone feel that it is worthwhile. As for those fishermen, the happiest is the old fisherman. Although he was strictly ordered not to reveal the identity of the people on the ship, because of Cheng Yuanjia's generosity, he got three hundred taels of silver for nothing, and even his own fishing boat was returned.
However, thinking that there were such a few big people on the fishing boat, the old fisherman still couldn't help but soften his feet. In case something went wrong, but the matter of killing the nine clans, not to mention the wrong business trip, even if it made these big people unhappy, these little fishermen still had to fall to the ground. What's more terrible is that the woman he refused to board the boat on the dock is actually the eldest daughter of the Cheng family. Fortunately, the other party is not allowed to reveal his identity. If the villagers know that he dares to treat the Miss Cheng family like this, they will have to throw him into the sea and die.
Two months later, when the seventh prince came to the Cheng family to find Cheng Yuanjia, he saw a strange dress in Cheng Yuanjia's flower hall. The gray-black strange clothes are neither like armor nor underwear. The whole appearance is strange. The only thing that can be seen is that this is a man's clothes.
"What does this do?" The seventh prince asked curiously.
"Clothes." Cheng Yuanjia took it for granted and said, "Don't you see it?"
"Of course I can see that this is clothes. The key is what kind of clothes is this?" The seventh prince lamented that it seemed that Cheng Yuanjia was becoming more and more easy-going now, but she preferred to joke.
"Clothes that can save lives." Cheng Yuanjia said righteously, "This is made of the skin of the monster fish. As an inner armor, it is worn under the outer coat, which does not affect life or affect the beauty, and can isolate the attacks of most weapons in the world."
The seventh prince couldn't help but jump his eyebrows and said, "Is it really so powerful?"
"You were also there when you peeled the skin. You can see how tough the fish skin is." Cheng Yuanjia came forward, gently stroked the inner armor of the fish skin, and said, "After soaking several potions, I made this set of inner armor. Such a big fish skin only took out such a little skin. Do you think these are the essence of the fish skin? Put on this set of inner armor, and if you are still stabbed with a sword, you will go to hell. Even if there are only a few sharp weapons that can pierce it, there is no way to really hurt the person wearing it.
"Why is this?" The seventh prince didn't understand and asked.
"Because I made it." Cheng Yuanjia said proudly, "The inside of this inner armor is also covered with a layer of silk. Even if it can pierce the inner armor, it can't pierce the inner layer of silk."
The seventh prince came forward and looked carefully. Sure enough, on the inside of several important parts, there was a layer of white and almost transparent silk tightly covered with silk. He didn't know what silk was, but it could be predicted that it was very precious and rare, otherwise Cheng Yuanjia would not only cover it in the fatal part.
Cheng Yuanjia took the inner armor off the hanger and handed it to the seventh prince and said, "Go inside and try it on. Is the right size?"
The seventh prince was stunned and said, "Is this for me?"
Cheng Yuanjia suddenly became angry again and said, "Do you think I should wear this men's inner armor?"
"No, I mean such a precious thing, you should keep it for yourself." The seventh prince quickly defended.
"If you wear it, just wear it. Why are you so much nonsense?" Cheng Yuanjia stuffed the inner armor into the arms of the seventh prince, pushed him inside, and said, "I have kept the precious things for a long time. There is no need for you to remind me."
Although Cheng Yuanjia's attitude is very bad, the seventh prince's heart is warm and he feels particularly comfortable. This is the inner armor that Cheng Yuanjia tried his best to make for him. She was worried that he would be so strong that he would wear it. He couldn't be angry. Thinking that she made it herself, he was even more happy.
This inner armor is different from ordinary armor. It is soft and elastic, especially with a silky coolness, which dissipates a lot of heat on hot days. The seventh prince is reluctant to take it off after wearing it. The more he looks at it, the more he likes it.
Walking to Cheng Yuanjia again, the seventh prince couldn't help rushing forward and hugging her, but he couldn't say anything.
At this time, what he said was grateful was superfluous. Cheng Yuanjia's heart for him had been clearly placed in front of him. If he was going to say thank you or something, it seemed to be raw.
Cheng Yuanjia couldn't explain why she refined this set of inner armor for the seventh prince. When she got the skin of the catfish, she came up with an idea and wanted to refine a set of armor suitable for him. There is no lack of armor in her universe nine-star ring, let alone refining materials, but it is not easy to be accepted by their ideas in the secular world, and will not doubt the inner armor of her identity.
The emergence of Yin Kun is such an opportunity.
In the world of cultivation, Yin Kun's skin is one of the favorite armor materials of monks in the foundation-building period. It is light and breathable, warm in winter and cool in summer, and its protective power is not low. It only took her an hour to refine the whole fish skin into the inner armor in front of her, but considering that it was difficult for people in the world to understand her speed, it took two months to take it out late.
In the past two months, she repeatedly tortured her heart why she wanted to refine this set of inner armor for him, and the answer she got shocked her very much. A thousand years ago, Zhou Qianyun died because of his serious injury. If he could wear a strong protective inner armor at that time, the ending might have been different. After suffering the grief of the death of her lover, there will inevitably be a shadow in her heart, and the seventh prince wanted to kill him on the way to Minzhou twice. If it hadn't been for her secret protection, maybe she would have lost him again. It was this layer of worry and fear that made her incumbent to come up with this set of inner armor that should not exist in the secular world. Anyway, this Yin Kun was not brought by her. Even if someone recognizes the origin of the inner armor, it can make sense.
After getting this answer, Cheng Yuanjia was also secretly shocked. It turned out that the seventh prince was close to the height of Zhou Qianyun in her heart. Does she really care about him so much?
The seventh prince and Zhou Qianyun are completely two kinds of people. One is gentle and elegant, and the other is unruly and unruly, but why did they fall in love with two opposite people? Cheng Yuanjia himself can't explain this clearly.
Thinking of Zhou Qianyun, her heart is still in pain. A thousand years is about to pass. In order to meet again, they have gone through hardships, but the day of reunion is still far away. Should she really give up? Or has he given up first? In order to meet again, she gritted her teeth and survived four heavenly disasters, and even had to be reincarnated and give everything for it, but only waited for such an untouchable illusory hope.
This is not the ending she wants.
In the face of fate, her resistance was so pale and powerless that she had to be discouraged. She sprinkled the net, but unexpectedly couldn't catch any trace of Zhou Qianyun, as if he had disappeared between heaven and earth, which made her feel embarrassed for him for thousands of years.
The teenager in front of her, this prince who is willing to sacrifice his life to protect him wholeheartedly, can't help but be moved every time he approaches. He can't help but throw himself into his arms. Gradually, his existence eases the anxiety in her heart and heals her pain. Recently, there is even a kind of thing that can't find Zhou Qianyun and doesn't look for it. The thoughts around the prince. Although this thought was immediately strangled by herself, the seeds have been sown, and it is no longer beyond her control of germination.
"In this life, I, Wei Yihao, can have a confidant like you, which is not in vain in this life." The deep voice of the seventh prince sounded in her ear, and even the deaf could hear the deep affection.
"I don't need you to be grateful to me." Cheng Yuanjia leaned his head on the shoulder of the seventh prince and whispered, "As long as you live well, I will be very happy. No matter what happens, you have to live well. Even when it is necessary, when you should abandon me, you still have to give up resolutely. I would rather you live than die with you.
"I won't abandon you, never." The tone of the seventh prince was indisputable and said, "No matter what happens, no matter what danger I will face, I will never let you go. Whether you want it or not, or whatever you think, I just won't let it go.
The seventh prince said it a little childishly, but his reluctance showed that he was not just talking.
A crystal tear flashed from the corners of Cheng Yuanjia's eyes. Facing the persistence of the seventh prince, she didn't say much, but quietly snuggled in his arms and let herself sink.
"Wanjia, will you marry me?" For a long time, the seventh prince whispered in her ear again.
Cheng Yuanjia suddenly woke up and struggled out of the arms of the seventh prince, but saw his injured eyes.
"Yihao, it's too early for us to say this." Cheng Yuanjia panicked and said quickly, "After all, I'm only fifteen years old, and you're just sixteen years old."
The seventh prince's face was a little better. Just now, when he thought that Cheng Yuanjia refused him, he really felt a little frustrated.
"I know that we don't have the final say in our marriage, especially as a prince, I can only marry the person designated by my father and emperor as my wife. But if I can, I want to be with you forever. The seventh prince said sincerely.
"Can you give me two years?" Cheng Yuanjia took the initiative to take the hand of the seventh prince and said sincerely, "If you still have a deep affection for me in two years, I will plead with the empress dowager to persuade the emperor to give us a marriage."
The eyes of the seventh prince immediately lit up, and Cheng Yuanjia's words were like a sweet spring, moistening his heart. But soon, he smiled bitterly and said, "You also know that your grandfather, Prince Qian and my brother, the king of Qi, try their best to make me become the crown prince. Can you make them give up this idea?"
"Why do you want to get rid of it? Isn't it good to be the crown prince?" Cheng Yuanjia is a little difficult to understand.
"Because I don't want to be an emperor, I just want to be with you, find a beautiful place, and live a happy life." The seventh prince sighed, "To be an emperor, you need three palaces and six courtyards, and three thousand beauties in the harem. Even if you don't want to, you must marry some women you don't love at all as concubines for some political purposes. Just like my adoptive mother and virtuous concubine, if it weren't for her family power, my father would not have married her in order to win over her family. In the father's view, this thing is perfectly normal, because his queen is also a victim of political marriage. But I can't imagine how I would face you if I had to marry some women I didn't love at all because of that so-called political marriage.
Cheng Yuanjia was stunned. She had never considered this problem. In the view of Prince Qian, as long as she becomes the queen, it doesn't matter how many concubines there are in the harem, and the king of Qi doesn't matter who the seven princes are emperors. Therefore, they all tried their best to assist the seventh prince for their own purposes, but they did not consider the idea of the two parties at all.
Thinking of the fact that if the seventh prince became the emperor, she would have to endure the fact that she was alone, while he was crawling on other women, she suddenly felt a little depressed and slowly turned around and said, "If you can't face it, don't face it. Maybe we should think more about our future. Let alone how you face me and let me share my lover with other women, I ask myself that I can't do it. Whether you are willing or helpless, it's a betrayal to me.
"Wanjia, I..." The seventh prince hurriedly defended himself.
"You don't have to say anything. Let me think about it. I know that some things are not your fault at all, and it's not what you want, but I also have my pride and my hardships, so these two years are still very necessary. You should also calm down and think for yourself whether I am worth giving up the whole forest. And I also have to figure out whether you are worth giving up my persistence. Cheng Yuanjia stopped the words of the seventh prince and slowly walked to the inner hall.
The seventh prince didn't expect that his true words would make Cheng Yuanjia react so violently, but he knew very well that this was indeed a problem between the two of them that they could not escape. If he could not deal with it well in advance, and then burst out when everything had become a fordetermination, the consequences may not be that the two of them could Accepted.
An invisible shackle was in the middle of the two, making both of them feel difficult to breathe.
