I thought that after we got married, I could at least sneak peeks at handsome men, but in reality, Sang Ruoying was very clingy, and during our honeymoon, we were practically inseparable.
He seemed to be full of curiosity and possessiveness towards everything about me, from the morning kiss to sleeping in each other's arms at night. His gentleness and thoughtfulness gradually made me get used to his presence.
After that guy lost his virginity, he became completely out of control. He never said he liked me, but his eyes always revealed a strong possessiveness towards me.
Whenever he looks at me with that focused and ardent gaze, my heart beats faster involuntarily, as if I'm locked in by him, unable to escape.
And my heart gradually succumbed, and now when I pass by and look at men outside, I no longer have the same desire to admire them as before.
Instead, I started looking forward to every day what surprises Sang Ruoying would bring me and where she would take me.
He always came up with all sorts of novel ideas, taking me to experience different kinds of fun after his shift, from horseback riding in the suburbs to boating on the lake. They weren't exactly new, but every moment we spent together felt sweet.
I didn't move out of the Marquis's residence, but I almost always lived in the Vice Minister's residence.
The Marquis seemed somewhat helpless about this, but more than that, he was gratified.
Gradually, I began to integrate into ancient life and often forgot where I came from.
One day
Sang Ruoying strode back from outside. I put down my carving knife and asked in confusion, "Why are you in such a hurry? Aren't you afraid of falling?"
He suddenly bent down, picked me up, and happily kissed me. I was slightly taken aback, then my face flushed red, and I glared at him. "In broad daylight."
"I asked my older brother, and it turns out you gave him those two weapons! Zhou'er, you're amazing!"
"It's not that I'm particularly skilled, I just copied this from an ancient book..." I felt a little guilty, because if you really wanted to find the origin of those two weapons, you really couldn't.
Sang Ruoying also didn't believe it was copied from an ancient book.
He placed me on the stone table, rested his hands on the edge, looked into my eyes, and said gently, "In short, thanks to your help, the Xie Family Army has recaptured two cities in succession. Your contribution is indispensable."
As a time traveler, I think I'm pretty low-level; I only remember how to make those two things, and know nothing else.
My face flushed, I buried my face in his neck. "Don't say anymore, I already said it wasn't me..."
"But the item was taken from you, so the Emperor should reward you for your service," Sang Ruoying patted my back and said softly.
"The Marquis raised me, and I hope that the Marquis's mansion will accept my official rank and title." I just wanted to feel less indebted to the Marquis's mansion, after all, I am not a young master, but a soul from another world. Besides, when I gave myself to the Marquis, he also gave me a lot of gold, silver and jewels.
"In short, it's just for peace of mind. The Marquis knows I don't want to be high-profile."
"You... you're so filial."
Sang Ruoying had known for a long time that I was a prince, but he did not urge me to join the struggle for the throne among the nine princes. Instead, he hoped that I would live a peaceful, happy, and carefree life every day.
One winter day near the end of the year, Sang Ruoying finally confessed his feelings to me. Although he had confessed to me several times in bed, he said it wasn't formal enough.
"Although... wouldn't swearing a poisonous oath be too much...?" I stared in shock at the long sheet of gold paper on the table, a full two meters long!
" Zhou'er, have you never intended to spend the rest of your life with me?"
Me: "... Of course not."
Sang Ruoying said earnestly and seriously, "We are both men, and we will inevitably encounter temptations in life, but we must firmly protect each other. We will not take concubines or maids; our hearts can only belong to each other."
Sang Ruoying pressed her large handprint onto the paper.
Taking advantage of the moment I was distracted, he immediately grabbed my hand and pressed it against his.
I:"?!"
"The master has already performed the ritual, and we can't be separated anymore, Zhou'er, are you happy?" Sang Ruoying smiled.
Looking at the oaths written on the golden paper, each one more powerful than the last, I twitched my lips and smiled slightly, "Great, great, hehe."
This is the consequence of provoking an honest person.
Of course, I've also gotten used to Sang Ruoying's presence. Not only does he love me, but I love him too, and I will stay with him forever.
