After being frightened by GongYimo, Su Miaolan didn't dare to do anything else. Good wine and good food were sent to the hillside. Some of the frightened noble ladies took their leave in advance. In the entire manor, only the hillside was the most lively.
GongYimo liked wine very much. The wine here was mellow, light, and had a long aftertaste, making people unconsciously intoxicated. In the past, when she was in the palace, she couldn't get drunk even if she wanted to.
It was only now that Gong Jue was taken care of, and the Liu family was saved. After leaving the palace, she felt completely relaxed and began to drink!
Most of the people here were famous nobles in the capital. Of course, there were also some spoiled second-generation officials who had nothing to do. They were usually very playful. Now that they saw GongYimo being so forthright at such a young age, the atmosphere became more and more lively.
Originally, everyone was playing some games or chatting with Gong Yi Mo. She was so knowledgeable that no matter what they talked about, she always had a refreshing perspective on the topic.
But when the moon rose to the top of the tree, she suddenly raised a wine jar with one hand and drank to her heart's content! That carefree and unrestrained attitude fascinated everyone. Perhaps some people didn't need to do anything and were naturally outstanding! She seemed to be in a bad mood, but at the same time, she was in an extremely good mood, so everyone present quieted down. Only the sound of the wine splashing could be heard, drenching her hair and clothes in an instant. Even her originally clear eyes were dyed with an intoxicating charm when she opened them again.
"Only today do I feel that only the princess can be considered alive."
Someone in the crowd suddenly sighed. GongYimo grinned. "You think I'm living a good life?"
At this time, the others were also slightly drunk. The son of the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, Yu Ziqing, smiled and said, "Although you don't have the position of princess, seeing the princess so carefree and unrestrained, as if you can live freely under any circumstances, isn't that good?"
"Don't call me princess …"
GongYimo pouted and waved her hand. "Hmm … happy and carefree. Ah … I wanted to be happy and carefree from the beginning …" GongYimo looked up at the sky, seemingly recalling the thoughts she had when she was in the Cold Palace a long time ago.
At this time, the sky was already dark. Under the illumination of the torches, the starlight was very dim. However, her side profile was so beautiful that it was hard for people to take their eyes off her.
"Perhaps in life, we can't do as we please … Perhaps everyone lives for others … All the shackles on our bodies are put on layer by layer by the people we care about. If … those people don't exist, then we are truly free …"
She muttered to herself. She didn't know why, but the little fantasy she had at the beginning was infinitely magnified. She … didn't she originally pursue a carefree life in Jianghu?
Her words made everyone fall into deep thought. They never thought that a little girl who was only twelve years old would be able to say such a profound philosophy of life. Perhaps the Imperial Palace was a better way to train people.
Shen Shi Ye looked at GongYimo's yearning look and could not help but feel depressed.
"You're drunk."
As soon as he finished speaking, GongYimo looked at him with a pair of sparkling eyes.
"I'm not drunk."
Shen Shi Ye got up irritably and said, "I don't want to drink anymore. I want to go back!"
Some people were still a little reluctant, but Shen Shi Ye's status was the highest among them. They did not dare to disobey the will of this little overlord.
"What about me?"
GongYimo pointed at herself in a very silly and cute manner. Under the light of the fire, her eyes were dull like an intoxicated little lamb. It made people want to protect her well.
"I'll take you home …"
Previously, they all knew that GongYimo was now staying in Shen Shi Ye's courtyard. Although Shen Shi Ye was a person who committed outrages, he was very loyal. Therefore, when he sent her away, the others were very relieved.
Unknowingly, after drinking wine, they and GongYimo directly developed a wonderful friendship. It was different from the relationship between men and women, but they appreciated each other more.
The gate was already locked, but who was Shen Shi Ye? He knocked on the gate and opened it, supporting Gong Yi Mo as they walked in.
Even in the bustling city, the lack of entertainment in the capital was still very quiet at night. Except for the red willow street, other places were quiet. There were only red lanterns in front of the door with surnames such as "Li" or "Chen" written on them.
Solemn and cold.
GongYimo leaned on Shen Shi Ye's body. At this time, she felt that her mind was very clear, but her hands and feet did not listen to her. This feeling was really not good.
Shen Shi Ye did not know what was wrong with him. Why was he so protective of this girl that he had just met? Today, he even pushed away Su Miaolan, who he had a good impression of, for her. But at this time, smelling the warm wine on her body, Shen Shi Ye suddenly felt that this feeling was not bad.
In a daze, GongYimo asked.
"Shen Shi Ye … What the hell, why are you called this? Your name is so strange!"
Her words stunned Shen Shi Ye, and his memories uncontrollably flipped over.
In this cold and cheerless street, some things that he had forgotten, for some reason, clearly flipped over. He could not help but look at the drunkard beside him and faintly smile.
"I'm asking you a question …" GongYimo mumbled.
Shen Shi Ye looked at her appearance and could not help but touch her head.
Perhaps it was because he talked too much after drinking, so right now, he really wanted to talk to this little girl who was snuggling up to him and talk about those old and rotten things.
"This name … was given by my Imperial Mother."
"Oh?"
GongYimo's answer was very perfunctory, but Shen Shi Ye really wanted to tell her.
"My Imperial Mother … She was also a strange woman!"
Shen Shi Ye did not know why he used the word "also", but when he said this, his eyes seemed to recall that woman with a fiery figure.
"As the legitimate daughter of the Zhen Country Marquis, she should have been a moral model for women in the world, but she was born to disregard secular etiquette and was reckless and flamboyant. Because she was so special, there were many people who wanted to marry her."
"My Imperial Father was one of them, and he was extremely lucky to win her favor and became her husband."
As GongYimo listened, the appearance of the Red Wedding Lady appeared in her mind in a daze. Every frown and smile was like a flaming pearl.
Shen Shi Ye's expression was originally melancholy, but when he said this, it gradually became miserable.
"But who knows? My Imperial Father had an ulterior motive. The real reason he wanted to marry my Imperial Mother was actually for my Imperial Mother's widowed sister, who is my Imperial Aunt … Because my Imperial Grandmother would rather die than marry my Imperial Aunt, he came up with this idea … "
Shen Shi Ye's expression became extremely sarcastic, "At first, it was fine because my Imperial Grandmother said that she would only recognize my Imperial Mother's child as her heir, so he was very perfunctory with my Imperial Mother a few times. Later, when my Imperial Mother became pregnant, he became unscrupulous.
