LOGIN駙馬爺二十有五,官至三品,人生唯一的汙點就是我。 但他待我極好,恭敬溫柔,從不抱怨。 只是每次來我房中,都會瞧著我的貼身婢女愣神。 他說:「入秋天涼,你該為她多添一件裏衣; 她兩手嬌嫩,磨這麼久的墨,會不會疼; 你愛喝熱茶,日後便自己煮吧,會燙著她。」 駙馬爺生辰,為給他慶生,我做了兩件事。 第一件,把我的貼身婢女送去他的房中伺候。 第二件,進宮求皇上下旨,給我納一名側夫。

“I'm so excited, Diana,” Leah squealed, as we boarded her dad's private jet, “I can’t wait to show you around Ibiza.” Three days ago, I was beside myself with joy when Leah invited me to spend two months in Ibiza with her and her father for the summer. We only just became finance sophomores last week, and were currently on summer break. “I can’t wait either,” I smiled, my thoughts drifting to her father, Benjamin Gonzalez, the one and only man who I'd been obsessed with since I was fifteen. The first and only time I met him was three years ago at our middle school graduation. I still and would always maintain that Benjamin was the hottest man on earth. Hell, even on the other planets as well. None of them could compete with the gorgeous Greek god of a man like Benjamin. Was it his large powerful hands that I always envisioned choking me while he fucked me with his huge cock in my mind's eye, or was it his pair of magnetic blue eyes? According to Leah, he owned a group of companies across the globe, which explained how he had his own private jet. Valid as my wanton thoughts were, I knew it was wrong to harbour them about my best friend’s dad. But I just couldn’t help it. Why did Benjamin have to be so hot? Why did the universe have to make me attracted to him of all people? Why couldn’t I like guys who were my age? “Are you okay? You seem lost in thoughts,” Leah’s voice cut into my thoughts, and my heart sank. Leah’s instinct was as sharp as that of an eagle’s, so I couldn’t have her noticing something was amiss. “I’m fine,” I fibbed, feigning a smile. “It’s nothing. Have you texted Kade?” Kade was her boyfriend, and to avert her attention from me, I had to use him. “Yes, he has even replied,” She replied, lips curving into a smile like it always did whenever she spoke of him. “Alright, that’s good,” I replied, nodding. Leah was beyond smitten by him and it was quite beautiful to watch, especially since he was also the same about her. “Mum sends her regards,” Leah said, placing her phone on the tray table. “Really?” I asked. “Yes,” She replied, “She's going hiking with my stepdad this weekend.” “Oh, alright. Send my greetings to her also,” I said, “And tell her I wish her a safe hike.” “Will do,” Leah responded. Leah's mum, Violet, was like the mother I wish I had. According to Leah, Benjamin and her divorced when she was three, but still maintained a cordial relationship. Violet was there when I got my first period, and it was she who gave me a box of pads, a cup of mint tea, and a warm hug. Even when I moved to my college dorm, it was Violet who helped transport my luggage with her car as my parents were both too busy with work. Mum was a financier while Dad was an attorney. I had never seen a couple that despised and at the same time were obsessed with each other like the both of them. As neither of them actually cared about me, I’d attended boarding schools throughout my life. I had even attended a boarding nursery school. Even the message I’d sent to tell them about my trip to Ibiza was still unread. My parents always treated me like I was a liability, not their child. Hours later when the private jet had taken off, Leah reclined against her seat and yawned, “I'm so sleepy, Diana.” “Sleep,” I replied, motioning to my shoulder, which she immediately rested her head on. “Wake me up when we get to Ibiza, okay?” She yawned again. “Don't tell me you are planning to sleep for ten hours,” I said, a teasing lilt to my voice. “I actually may,” She replied, “Kade and I spent the night together, so I couldn't sleep. I wish you weren't such a prude, so we would talk about sex, ugh.” The fact that Leah thought of me as a prude was utterly laughable. If only she knew about the countless lewd dreams I have had about Benjamin, she wouldn't say that. If she knew the number of times I’d pictured him in between my legs, pounding into me with unrestrained lust, she would most certainly cut ties with me. “Well, I'm sorry, babes,” I said, and she huffed, then yawned. Soon enough, she was fast asleep. We had a quick flight and when we landed, Benjamin’s driver, Kelvin, took us to the villa. “What do you think of this place? Dad got it about a year ago.” Leah revealed, motioning to the opulent storey building in front of us. “It's beautiful,” I replied, and she nodded, smiling. The fact that I was seeing Benjamin soon made me sit up instantly. As soon as I saw him standing at the entrance in his regal glory, I became thoughtless, and my throat went dry. “My pumpkin,” His velvety timbre wafted into my ears, and I became wet instantly, my thoughts wallowing to the most lewd part of my brain. “Dad!” Leah's scream jolted me out of my reverie, causing me to smile as he caught her in his arms and kissed her forehead. In a blue and white striped short sleeve shirt, showcasing his strong biceps, and a pair of white shorts paired with white slides, Benjamin effortlessly oozed sexiness. His jet black hair was slicked back, accentuating his deep-set blue eyes and the enthralling shape of his forehead. Simply put, Benjamin had gotten even hotter. “It's nice seeing you again, Diana,” Benjamin uttered, after placing Diana down, “How are your studies and your parents?” “S-Same here, Mr Gonzalez,” I replied, inwardly relieved that I hadn't called him Benjamin but dampened by my stutter. “Everything's fine. I mean, my parents and studies. Also, thanks for allowing me to come with Leah. I have never been out of the country before.” Why was I rambling like a pathetic moron in front of him? “You're fine, Diana. Dad is not going to eat you raw,” Leah reassured, then gave her dad an admonishing look, “Dad, quit scaring my friend.” How was I supposed to tell her that Benjamin eating me raw was exactly what I was hoping for, and that he wasn't scaring me at all? No matter how hard I tried to control my wanton thoughts, it was like my perverted brain couldn’t stop thinking about him in a sultry light, and it scared me. Badly. Was I really going to keep thirsting over someone I could never have forever? Right there and then, I decided I had to stop this madness immediately. “Do I scare you, Diana?” He asked, and I swallowed harshly, reluctantly averting my gaze from his alluring eyes. “N-No,” I whispered, as Leah hooked her arm to my shoulder. “You heard the girl, Leah,” He uttered, a wry smile curving his lips, “Anyway, welcome to Ibiza. I hope you have a great time here.” “Thanks, Mr Gonzalez,” I replied, mentally applauding myself for getting a statement out without stammering.我深知,以我如今的能力和根基,強行擠進那波譎雲詭的朝局中心,不過是徒惹是非。我向皇帝要了一座京郊的皇莊。我開始著手辦女學。消息傳開,引來不少非議。有讚賞的,認為這是功德無量的善舉,開啟民智。裴知晝不知從何處聽說了消息,竟拖著「病體」來了公主府一趟,被攔在門外也不走,隔著門揚言要見我。我懶得理會。他便讓人傳話進來,說他在翰林院有些舊識,可以幫忙尋些合適的女夫子。還說我的想法是好的,於國於民有利,他身為我的夫君,理應相助。我只讓春杏回了一句話:「不必,我用不上你。」女學磕磕絆絆地辦了起來,我給它取名「明慧堂」。慢慢地,也有一些開明的小官吏之家,或是商戶之家,願意將女兒送來啟
春杏小心翼翼:「殿下,裴大人回心轉意,那咱們要不……」我沒有接話。他做什麼,都太遲了。次日清晨,我被府門外的喧譁吵醒。春杏匆匆進來,面色古怪:「殿下,裴大人他跪在府門外。」我披衣起身,府門前的青石板上,裴知晝只穿著單衣,筆直地跪在那裡。16.我站在公主府門內的影壁旁,沒有出去。春杏替我開了條門縫,我能看見裴知晝跪在青石板上的背影。他凍得微微發抖,卻依舊挺直著脊梁。路過的行人指指點點,他恍若未聞。「去問他,圖什麼。」我輕聲對春杏說。春杏應了聲,小跑出去,隔著幾步遠傳達了話。裴知晝抬起頭:「小石榴,你是我糟糠之妻,以前的事,我們都有不好,重新開始好嗎?」春杏回來
裴知晝的聲音從身後傳來,他似乎在這裡站了許久。秦琅鬆開手,溫聲道:「我去馬車邊等候殿下。」裴知晝走到我面前,呼吸間帶著白氣。「小石榴,」他聲音低啞。「我們談談。」我攏了攏衣袖,靜靜看著他。「先前是我不好。」他喉結滾動。「我知你心裡有氣,是我輕視了你,忽視你的感受,讓你受了許多委屈。」風雪聲簌簌,落在他肩頭。「可你納側夫之事,實在太過驚世駭俗。這是將你自己置於風口浪尖,讓全天下的人都來看你的笑話!」「聽我一句,別再這樣賭氣下去,我們想個法子,妥善將他送走。日後我們還像從前一樣,好不好?」我輕輕搖頭:「裴知晝,不是所有事,都能回到從前的。」他眼底的光一點點黯下去:
「裴大人,你想討好殿下,卻不知道殿下究竟想要什麼。」「殿下今日不想聽曲子,太吵,只想按按頭,是不是?」「畢竟,今日遇見了晦氣的人,殿下需要清心。」裴知晝憤然離席。瓊燈被晾了好幾日,終於見裴知晝得了空,湊上去做解語花。「大人,殿下就是這樣的人,不守規矩沒有禮法,不然陛下當年也不會把殿下送去軍營裡磋磨的。」裴知晝沉了口氣,最後還是開口:「並非如此,她當初被送去軍營,是因為生母無勢,被其他嬪妃陷害,殃及池魚。」「小石榴一直都很可憐,否則……」說到這裡,裴知晝突然停了下來。瓊燈聽裴知晝替我說話,本還有些不滿,他一停,瓊燈就來勁了,以為他要說壞話了。「怎麼了?」瓊燈急著問。裴知
「她還說,自己好說歹說勸了殿下,殿下偏不聽,這些日子,她何時來找咱們殿下說話了?」我無奈:「她不想走,就讓她自個兒留下吧。」春杏輕哼:「那真是又如她的意了!」還沒來得及說下一句話,聖旨就到了,來來回回都是車軲轆話,意思就是讓我再繼續住在裴府。我找了人打聽,才知道,原來是裴知晝拿出他老師的名頭,逼著皇帝下旨的。為了一個瓊燈,裴知晝竟能做到這個份上。我望著外頭瓊燈若隱若現的影子,驚覺,自己早已容不下這尊大佛了。本要走,又沒走成,奴才們白忙了一場。我趁著這個機會,把奴才們叫到一起,清點之前堆積的帳目。瓊燈卻急著說:「殿下,當務之急,是裴大人的生辰要到了,您是裴大人的夫人,怎的
我才知道,裴知晝這次來,不是為了找我,而是為了給瓊燈撐腰。連端茶倒水都捨不得她做,更何況在我面前磕頭呢。沒想到,剛一來,又看見在門外被凍紅了鼻頭的瓊燈。裴知晝氣得語無倫次,問奴才們為何都不心疼她,勸我給瓊燈多添幾件衣裳。「心疼自己都來不及,還心疼她咧!」春杏白眼都要翻上天了。我捏著被角,胸口煩亂。瓊燈的吃穿住行我哪有不是給最好的。只是她自己愛美,覺得穿少了好看,我特意找人為她製的冬衣都擱著了。6.那日之後,裴知晝就學會了冷待我的本領。迎面撞見,就目不斜視地擦肩而過。若是遠遠看見了我,他定要繞道走。冬節,皇帝召萬臣入宮夜宴,我和裴知晝也在其列。如今朝局不穩,皇帝年紀尚
誰也沒反應過來時,裴知晝已經把自己的斗篷罩在了瓊燈身上,匆匆往外走。「我先帶她出去找大夫,染上風寒就不好了。」「小石榴,你長大了,也該學學體恤下人了。」屋裡一下子少了兩個人,都冷了許多。我的另一位婢女春杏,一邊生炭火,一邊啐了一口:「狐媚不忠的東西!等瓊燈回來,殿下您可要好好罰罰她!」我心頭澀得慌,說不出什麼感覺。好似剛從軍營回來那段日子,除了皇弟,誰都瞧不起我,也是如此孤立無援。但我雖讀書少,卻不是傻子。罰一通,鬧一通,最後聲名狼藉的是我。後來幾天,裴知晝也不來找我了。或許是覺得心中有愧,又無顏見我,便送了一大幫婢女過來,院子都快站不下了。春杏告訴我:「大人說,那日
駙馬爺二十有五,官至三品,人生唯一的汙點就是我。但他待我極好,恭敬溫柔,從不抱怨。只是每次來我房中,都會瞧著我的貼身婢女出神。他說:「入秋天涼,你該為她多添一件裡衣;她兩手嬌嫩,磨這麼久的墨,會不會疼;你愛喝熱茶,日後便自己煮吧,會燙著她。」駙馬爺生辰,為給他慶生,我做了兩件事。第一件,把我的貼身婢女送去他的房中伺候。第二件,進宮求皇上下旨,給我納一名側夫。1.我粗鄙無知,是最不受待見的公主。奈何我的同胞皇弟一朝登基,我也麻雀變鳳凰。後來,我嫁給了當朝宰相的得意門生,裴知晝。小裴大人是個好人,沒有因為我被軍營養過,不通詩書,就瞧不起我。別人越說我,他就待我越好,來我
