"将嫁"+ "Romancing the Duke"

[fiefoe]

Both were gobbled up in late-night reading sprees. I'm just glad that such sprees are still occasionally possible.

霍时英灰头土面地一出场我就觉得绕梁三日这书有戏。可惜她和皇帝互动真是少得让人发指；故意嫁别人那段我也就跳过了。

• 长公主说出的长段话，是很普通的内宅妇间的对话，如果换说说，马上就会给种泼辣的干练印象，但她的语速控制很好，轻重缓急，该停该缓，让听的感到焦躁也会显得她说话拖拉，把种果敢干练隐藏了语速之下，是种被训练过的说话方式，恍然就明白，她原是皇帝的长姐，下面两弟弟，先帝的宫闱波澜多，她那么晚才出嫁，怕也光是太后挑剔的缘故。发现她从回后接触过的每都是简单的人物。
• 十年前的朝廷格局，那候她还是稚龄之年，公主嫁，折断了了家的边羽翼，那是怎样的步棋，但长公主是很智慧的女子，生于皇家，成长于权谋利弊之中，她懂得顺势而为，而且间前进，格局断的发生变化，当年的局如今已成局，没因为而真正的痛苦，是唯值得欣慰的地方。
• 佝偻的身影隐没宽大的袍子里，垂目望着地上跪拜之，眼里尽是悲悯，只知道，次女是惊涛伟略之，生的世家好，成长的也好，只是命里多了嗔，痴二字，以后前路将多是波澜坎坷，只当她什么都经历的够了，厌了，什么候明白了随波逐流，顺势而为以后才是她真正大放异彩的时候
• 忍住瞬间湿了眼眶，她的师傅，没期望鲜衣怒马，朝堂称雄，只是让以后了孩子带去给看看，种最朴实的对晚辈的期望。
• 就见对面的青年，面带微笑，眼中坚定而从容，说：“还什么比得已的生更难的？该去做应该做的事情，哪条路都只是过程罢了。”
• 秦川终于扭过头去看她，接着说：“回到家乡多买些地，什么事情就找当地的司卫所，会让打好招呼，以后稳稳当当的当地主，身上千万要留现银，知道是安生的。”
• 嗣怒吼：“花。”再教：“母后。”嗣接大吼：“母后。”又说：“请安。”嗣哼哼：“请安。”宫墙之下，走大小两，小的坐大的肩膀上，路说过去，路过朱太妃的宫苑顺手摘了她院子池塘里的片荷叶，又扣嗣的头上，嗣带坐的肩膀上，路摇头晃脑的左右摇摆，
• 果然，唐世章端起茶碗润了润喉咙又继续道：“你怎么想想，种要紧害命的东西，怎会轻易落别手里？那些东西都是裴世林自己交出的，韩裴两家前后把持江淮二十年，两家早就是水□□融拔出萝卜带泥的关系，为了扳倒韩林轩裴世林必须把自己也搭进去才行，你父亲就是知道是自己是存心寻死，谁都救了所以才那么暴怒。”
• 自然知道怎么弄，要把小刀，顺羊肉的肌肉纹理就大刀阔斧的阵摆弄，承嗣她脚底下跟尾巴样，抱她条腿跟她甩甩去的，蹲下，就兴奋的扑到她背上，两的衣服都顺滑，抱住会就滑了下去，再扑，抱住了就松手，她后背滑上滑下的玩得亦乐乎，承嗣的样子让想起关外的牧民，家之主的父亲料理烤羊的候，最小的儿子也会样父亲的身边甩甩去的，她带笑意，也管承嗣随玩的高兴，只要靠近火塘的候踢脚，让离远点。
• 冷冷清清的看，的眼神下子就撞进了的眼睛里，和对视片刻，挪开目光，又继续顺的颈窝腋下路擦下去，的目光胶身上，赤条条的躺面前，丛火从的心里直烧到全身，手来到肚脐以下忽然走动了，停顿了下，豁然直起身，背过身去把手巾往盆里扔，溅起阵水花，挑帘大步走了出去。

都不知道多久没关心过西曼的新作者了，Tessa Dare之前完全没听说。男主还是弱了些，不外是小时候受过委屈的rake，眼睛受伤也是被动偶然。

• This would have been the castle’s great chamber. The medieval lords conducted business from these beds, the way kings sit on thrones. That’s why it’s raised on a platform and built to such an impressive size.”
• He turned her to face him. “And a man and a woman standing in this very place are compelled to heed it. No choice. There’s only one thing to be done.” “What’s that?” Her pulse stumbled. Surely he couldn’t mean to . . . He lowered his head and made his voice a seductive whisper. “Duck.” . . . a great amount of wet laundry, flapping on the line in a stiff breeze. She turned away from the window. Oh, Lord. Before her eyes, the vast bed canopy seemed to come alive. First, it began to shimmer, then to ripple—like a quicksilver cloak caught by the wind. Then small pieces of it began to break away, one by one, each following the other... “You knew that would happen,” she accused. “The sunset. The bats.” He didn’t try to deny it. “Consider it repayment for the weasel.”
• “Ah,” she said. “A stroke of luck there. I suppose they had to recover the castle by purchasing it back. That must be why the property was no longer entailed?”
• “Well, anyway. That’s what you should have said.” She lowered her voice to mimic his. “ ‘Do I have to spell out the danger for you? R-A-N-S-O-M.’
• fingertips rested on his cheek, like a constellation of unexpected kindness.
• “Of course you don’t deserve her. No man deserves a woman like that. He mortgages his very soul to win her and spends his life paying off the debt.”
• “Time may pile into months and years. It cannot sway the eternal.”
