Chapter 670: Chapter 669 Wufu says: Rebels should be abandoned.
The Marble Boat moved slowly. Inside the cabin, various refreshnts were laid out, along with a plate of fried small fish which, it was said, were freshly caught by the Boat Lady and her husband.
Several bright Palace Lanterns were placed in the cabin, lighting it up brightly.
Wufu picked up a small fish and chewed on it, saying, “Mmm, this little fish is not bad, quite fresh.” She then asked, “Didn’t we say we were going to see the lanterns? What is there to see in this river?”
Ah Jiu chuckled, “We are at the upper stream right now, and we will be flowing downstream. Soon we will reach the city, and by then, you will be able to see many lanterns.”
Wufu gave an “Oh” in response.
Seeing her eat another fish, Ah Jiu said, “Don’t eat so much, eating too many fried things can cause internal heat.” After saying that, he handed her a cup of chrysanthemum tea.
Wufu smiled, accepted it with thanks, and gave the boat a glance, asking, “Where did this co from? It’s not very big. You don’t know, just before I ca here, I saw the Misty Fairy of Baili Palace, the Oiran’s flower boat. It was big and beautiful.”
A twitch appeared at the corner of Ah Jiu’s mouth.
“If you like this kind of Marble Boat, go to Beiyan, and I will have the biggest and most beautiful one built for you.”
Wufu’s eyes lit up, “Then can I also summon the Oiran’s young masters for entertainnt?”
“Nonsense.” Ah Jiu scolded and said helplessly, “What are you thinking? That’s sothing Profligates do!”
Wufu leaned back on the welcoming pillow and retorted, “To be a Profligate, that’s a blessing, to enjoy luxury in eating, drinking, and rrymaking, how splendid!”
Ah Jiu shook his head.
Wufu, hugging the welcoming pillow, lay her face on it, her whole body soft and listlessly leaning at an angle.
Ah Jiu watched her, utterly without poise in her languor, and his mouth couldn’t help but twitch a few tis as he touched his nose.
Wufu, resting on one arm and gazing at the person under the light of the lanterns, saw his elegant deanor even while drinking tea and said, “Ah Jiu, this year you will co of age, when you return to Beiyan, you should also get married, right?”
Ah Jiu’s eyes flickered slightly, “Why do you ask that?”
“Aren’t you the son of the Empress Dowager of Beiyan?” Wufu said, “A man of your age should be getting married and starting a family, let alone you, with your noble birthright.”
“What if I were to get married? What would you do then?”
Ah Jiu’s gaze fixed intensely on her.
What would I do?
Wufu furrowed her brows for a mont before relaxing them and said, “There’s nothing to it, huh. Even if you get married, we are still friends, right?”
Friends again, Ah Jiu was disconcerted and took a deep draught of tea, opening his mouth as though he wanted to speak.
“But by then, our interactions would surely not be as comfortable as they are now.” Wufu added.
“Why not?”
“Once you’re married, you would belong to another woman. You would be her man, and I would definitely have to keep my distance from you, wouldn’t I? Otherwise, what if your Princess Consort misunderstands? Won’s jealousy can be fierce.”
Ah Jiu blurted out, “And you? Wouldn’t you be jealous?”
“I’m a woman too, how could I not be jealous?” Wufu rolled her eyes, saying, “If it were my man, and he dared to be entangled with another woman, I’d make him worthless!”
Ah Jiu couldn’t help but laugh, “Make him worthless?”
“Yes.” Wufu said earnestly, “My man must only be for , no betrayal allowed. Otherwise, I will definitely destroy him.”
“But in this world, it is normal for a man to have several wives and concubines. Usually, the strife among won happens in the inner courtyards, they contend with each other, yet only won are discarded, and no one discards a man.” Ah Jiu laughed.
Wufu sighed, “Exactly. That’s the foolishness of won, over five thousand years, always making life hard for one another and not realizing the root cause of the disaster, how lantable and regrettable. But as for , Wufu believes in this: for the traitors, cast them aside!”
Ah Jiu chuckled softly, his lips murmuring, “Wufu, I won’t do that!”
