Chapter 53 Who is in the dream?
At noon and in the morning, they researched new recipes and prepared meals for Jiang Zhi early in the morning.
Jiang Zhi looked at the breakfast in front of him and nodded in satisfaction.
As soon as I looked up, I saw him walking over in a black brocade robe with wide sleeves.
She raised an eyebrow and asked, "Does Your Highness not need to attend the morning court session today?"
"I'm hungry, can't I come and eat?"
Jiang Zhi was filled with doubt.
Gu Liang looked at the food on the table and then looked up at Jiang Zhi, who was staring at him.
Seeing that she calmly put down her chopsticks without any awkwardness of eating at the same table, Gu Liang smiled and also picked up her chopsticks to eat the food in front of her.
Jiang Zhi slowly took a sip of porridge, her gaze falling on Gu Liang.
Although Gu Liang ate very quickly, she did not eat rudely.
Seeing that he had eaten half of his breakfast in the blink of an eye, Jiang Zhi coughed lightly and said, "Your Highness, don't forget that we agreed to keep to ourselves."
Gu Liang raised an eyebrow and said, "Then my dear princess has ruined my plans."
Jiang Zhi looked at the person in front of her and blinked. "Then what does Your Highness wish to do?"
Gu Liang looked at the plate full of food on her plate and asked, "How long will it take you to finish all this?"
Jiang Zhi mentally calculated, "One incense stick's time."
Gu Liang lowered his eyes, "Finish eating after half an incense stick's time, and ask questions after another half incense stick's time."
Jiang Zhi hesitated for a moment, "Your Highness, chewing slowly is a good habit. Besides, I'm not a prisoner, why should I listen to you?"
Gu Liang leaned back in her chair. "So what were you doing on Gaowu Street?"
Jiang Zhi didn't answer, and buried her head in her porridge.
She doesn't like wasting food. Back in Liangzhou, she often didn't have enough to eat, so she didn't want to waste food. Besides, this breakfast was specially made by Wushi and Chenxi according to her taste.
Of course, we have to savor it properly.
After drinking half a bowl of porridge, she picked up a pig-shaped bun, took a bite, chewed it slowly, and then took another bite.
Gu Liang had finished the rest of his meal. He looked up at Jiang Zhi and saw that she was eating slowly and attentively.
"Is it really that delicious?"
The way she was so focused on chewing made one wonder if she was eating the most delicious food in the world.
Jiang Zhi quickly chewed the food in her mouth and swallowed it. "Of course, this was specially made for me by Wu Shi and Chen Xi, and it's made according to my taste."
Only children are forced to eat food they don't like.
Gu Liang shook her head. "A picky eater."
Jiang Zhicai did not argue with him.
A delicious breakfast had to end early due to Gu Liang's urging.
Gu Liang asked, "Do you know what Gaowu Street is?"
“Naturally, it’s where you buy servants,” Jiang Zhi said calmly.
He hesitated for a moment, then said seriously, "Do you know who you bought from?"
She stiffened, looking at Gu Liang in front of her. He had indeed followed her after all.
Jiang Zhi lowered her eyes and remained silent.
She had promised Wen Guzhu that she would let him leave Yanjing safely in a month, so how could she betray him after using him?
Now it seems that he knew of Wen Guzhuyu's existence.
"I bought the servant because he was good-looking."
Gu Liang's gaze suddenly sharpened, and she laughed, "Madam, when you lie, you really don't blush or skip a beat."
"Is this what you want to buy, or is it the Marquis of Zhenyuan's idea?"
Sensing that Gu Liang's tone was off, Jiang Zhi immediately explained, "It wasn't my father's idea; it was my idea to buy it. If Your Highness doesn't believe me, you can go and inquire about it."
Jiang Zhi joked, "Is His Highness Prince Liang really that petty?"
“You’ve messed with me more than once,” Gu Liang said coldly.
"Everything I said is true, believe it or not, it's up to you."
He snorted coldly, got up and left.
She returned to her room, sat in front of the bronze mirror, and gazed at herself in the mirror.
In her previous life, she had no connection with Gu Liang.
She was the Princess Consort of Jing, and he was the Prince of Liang.
He was just as frightening in his past life as he is in this one.
But she knew that in her past life, Gu Liang was Yu'er's biological father.
After thinking for a moment, Wu Shi came in with a beaming smile, carrying a bowl of hot water.
"Your Highness, aren't you going to pick out some clothes?"
Jiang Zhi sat in front of the bronze mirror, her brows slightly furrowed.
"Clothes? What clothes?"
Wu Shi smiled and said, "Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. The noble ladies and gentlemen of Yanjing will all go to the streets to see the lanterns."
"Is the Princess going with His Highness?"
"There are riddle-solving and couplet-matching activities."
"It's so lively."
"However, in a few days, I reckon that Madam Liu will discuss the marriage between the Second Miss and Prince Pei."
“I overheard the master and madam discussing Miss Biao’s search for a husband when I was at the Marquis’s residence last time.
"What? My cousin?"
Wu Shi nodded. "Yes, Miss Biao's marriage."
Jiang Zhi's hand suddenly tightened.
She had to find a way to expose Jiang Luan's affair with Gu Yuan to everyone, so that Jiang Luan could break off her engagement with the Marquis of Guangde and snatch her cousin's marriage back.
At noon, he placed hot water in front of Jiang Zhi and said, "Your Highness, shall I prepare clothes for you for the lantern festival tomorrow?"
"The Lantern Festival in Yanjing is very lively every year. I heard that many young masters from noble families go there on that day."
Jiang Zhi looked at the girl's engrossed lunch and realized what she was thinking.
She smiled and said, "You're the one who wants to go, aren't you?"
At noon, she pursed her lips, lowered her head, and touched her head, looking somewhat embarrassed.
Jiang Zhi smiled gracefully, "I'll take you tomorrow night, let's go and join in the fun."
At noon, his eyes lit up. "Thank you, Your Highness."
After helping Jiang Zhi wash up, Wu Shi left the room happily.
Jiang Zhi also went to bed early.
In a daze, she entered a strange dream.
In her dream, she saw a boy.
The boy's hands and feet were bound by iron chains, and he was locked in an iron cage.
The little girl tremblingly took a steamed bun and handed it to the boy in the iron cage.
"Brother, eat quickly, it's meat filling, it smells delicious, I secretly saved this."
"I usually don't get enough to eat."
The boy was initially indifferent to her, but gradually became more gentle.
In an instant, the voice of the unfamiliar boy echoed in my ears: "Kid, I'll take you away."
The boy's gentle voice had barely faded when a scream of agony followed.
The voices of many unfamiliar men reached his ears.
"You're a dog too, so how can you take her away...?"
“If you crawl between our legs, we’ll let you and this little girl go.”
The boy gritted his teeth and said, "You said it yourselves: if I crawl over there, you'll let her go?"
"Hahahaha... Look at it, it really crawls like a dog, it really is a dog, screw you..."
"Dare to lay a hand on us? Die!"
A blurry, chaotic sound echoed in his mind. Jiang Zhi suddenly opened his eyes, hearing the strange yet familiar voice from his dream.
But she has never been able to find any fragment of this dream in her memory.
Even in my past life, it wasn't there. Could it have been during my time in Liangzhou? Or...?
She was panting heavily, still not recovered, when the sound of noon came from the doorway.
