203 “Drunken Bones (Guyan 1v1 High H)” Maple Yin
byAfter raising Yan Zhaozhao for three months, she can finally go out for some fresh air.
In response, she first glared resentfully at Xie Ciyan beside her, and then asked Bi Luo to put her shoes on, without even giving the man a chance to serve her.But how could Xie Ciyan, who was eager to coax his wife, give up the opportunity to show his goodwill so easily? He raised his head and glanced at Bi Luo, who was about to kneel down. The latter understood immediately, turned his cunning eyes, and saluted his wife, and then quickly left the palace gate, leaving the emperor and empress with their own space.
Xie Yan happily knelt down on one knee under her beloved’s pomegranate skirt, took her shoes and socks and carefully put them on for her, not forgetting to coax her in a low voice, “It was my fault, please don’t be angry with me, okay?” After putting on her shoes, the man opened his arms to support her on the edge of the bed,Taking advantage of the situation, he trapped her in his own small area, “Mr. Shen said that your pregnancy is dangerous. No matter how good his medical skills are, he failed to diagnose that you are pregnant with twins. A woman’s childbirth is a loss for herself. You have suffered a huge loss this time, so you have to rest for such a long time.”
As if recalling the danger of her giving birth that day, her voice couldn’t help but grow a little lower, and her eyebrows looked a little bit ashamed, “I selfishly want Zhao Zhao to spend more time with me, so I hope you are in good health and can accompany me through the spring and autumn until your hair turns gray.”
After hearing his words, no matter how angry Yan Zhaozhao was, all her anger was gone at this moment, not to mention that she was just bored in the Nuan Pavilion for too long and was having a little temper.Her soft fingertips pressed lightly between his frowning eyebrows, and she muttered, “I’m not angry.”
Xie Ciyan chuckled lightly, his eyebrows widened completely, and followed her words, “Yes, my Zhao Zhao is so gentle and lovely, how can I be angry.” He stood up and stretched out his generous palm towards her, “The maple leaves are probably blooming all over the place outside. Let’s go with you to enjoy the beautiful scenery.” When the soft palm fell into his palm, there was an unprecedented satisfaction in his heart. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his fingers were naturally interlocked with it.
Not far from the Nuan Pavilion, I saw some noise coming from a towering maple tree, and a few maple leaves fell.The two people who heard the sound subconsciously looked up, and through the cover of the lush branches, they didn’t see anything, but…
“General Huo, why don’t you put your robe up first.” She and Xie Ciyan’s eyes met, and she couldn’t help but reveal a helpless smile, and then added a bit of teasing tone, “And Bi Luo, I even saw the green belt around your waist!”
The maple branches trembled violently again.The next moment, Huo Sui jumped down with a slightly disheveled Bi Luo in his arms. After landing firmly, he gently put her down from his arms.Huo Sui still had a lazy and unruly look on his face, without any embarrassment in his eyebrows. Instead, he calmly raised his chin towards the two of them as a salute.
Unlike Huo Sui who was calm and composed, Bi Luo was obviously not that shameless. She lowered her head with embarrassment on her face and her cheeks were flushed. Sometimes she quietly raised her wet almond eyes and looked at Yan Zhaozhao secretly, as if she was worried that her mother-in-law would punish her for this.
For several months in the summer resort, Huo Sui often stayed outside Nuan Pavilion, and there were no other outsiders here. The two seemed to have put aside the courtesy of monarchs and ministers, as if they were back to what they were in the military camp. There was only brotherhood between them, no more red tape in the palace, and their lives were simple and free.
Yan Zhaozhao finally couldn’t hold back her laughter, and her words were full of jokes, “It’s just that I don’t know what’s interesting. I should just pretend I didn’t see anything.”
“Empress!” Bi Luo’s cheeks turned redder and redder, and she lowered her head in shame, not even daring to raise her eyes.
After Huo Sui glanced at the lovely woman beside him, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said to her with a smile on his face, “Your Majesty, you are righteous!”
“Absurd.” Xie Ciyan, who had been silent since just now, suddenly spoke with a calm tone, but there was no hint of sullenness in his eyes, and there was no deterrence at all… Except for Bi Luo’s body shaking involuntarily, if Huo Suiyan hadn’t held her wrist in time, she would have knelt down to beg for mercy.
Huo Sui sighed and rubbed his brows helplessly. There was nothing he could do to her.”Why are you kneeling?” He then turned his gaze to Xie Ciyan, with a mixture of bad taste and provocation in his eyes. He was not afraid of the monarch at all, “I can smell the sour smell from this far away, Xie Ciyan, are you envious of the two of us…” He took care of the thin-skinned woman next to him and did not continue to say the rest of the words, but that look in his eyes already expressed a thousand words in his heart.
Xie Ciyan’s lips curved up with a hint of mockery, but the smile did not reach his eyes, “Huo Sui calls me by my name, you should be punished.” A dark light flashed in his eyes, and he glanced at the maple tree not far away, “I will punish you by cutting down that tree.”
“Thank you Ciyan, you are a man whose mind is smaller than the eye of a needle!”
Xie Ciyan didn’t care about the curses that came out of his mouth, and just kept pulling Yan Zhaozhao forward. The sneer on his lips had already turned into an unstoppable smile.Without stopping or looking back, he simply said: “If you insult me, you should be punished by cutting down another tree.”
Huo Sui gritted his teeth and followed Xie Ciyan’s back with his eyes, wishing he could stare out a hole in him.
Seeing them gradually walking away, Bi Luo then boldly moved to the man’s side, her voice full of worry, “Do you really want to chop it down?” This season is when the maple tree is in full bloom, and even three people can’t surround the tree. If you really want to use the axe, it will be a hard job.She blamed herself even more. If she hadn’t agreed to the proposal, Huo Sui wouldn’t have been punished.
Looking at her like this, Huo Sui understood what she was thinking.He pulled her over and kissed her slightly red lips fiercely, trapping all her uneasiness between his lips and teeth.When their lips parted, he chuckled, his voice as mute as jade.”What are you thinking about? It’s impossible to cut down a tree.” He hugged the cute girl tightly and whispered against her ear, “When they are completely gone, I will take you up there again.”
Bi Luo’s eyes widened, her eyes filled with disbelief.
But before the emperor and empress could walk far away, Xie Ci Yanfu suddenly paused his steps again, and his cold voice echoed in the maple forest, completely interrupting the charming look of the two people under the maple tree who were just about to drift away.”Come and punt the boat for me.”
Huo Sui finally couldn’t bear it anymore and shouted to the sky: “Thank you Ciyan, you are a murderer of a thousand swords——!”
For a moment, the maple leaves fell, as if frightened by his loud voice.
There was a gentle breeze blowing by the lake, and the water surface was filled with sparkling waves. Two small boats carved in the shape of white cranes were moored quietly on the shore, with red tasseled golden bells hanging from the top of their masts, swaying and tinkling in the wind.
Xie Ciyan held Yan Zhaozhao’s hand and was about to board the ship. Behind him, Huo Suiyi held Bi Luo’s hand tightly and stood beside him.He raised his eyebrows slightly and cast a meaningful look at the noble emperor.
At this glance, Xie Ciyan understood instantly.The past days in the military camp came to mind. At that time, the two of them would argue about everything, even betting on who would come out of the toilet first.But since he returned to power and became Queen Regent, the youthful spirit between the two of them has gradually faded away.At this moment, the old feelings were rekindled, and there was a trace of nostalgia in my heart.
He raised his hand and pointed to the other side of the lake, a smile on his lips.”The one who reaches the other side first wins.”
Huo Sui smiled loudly, as if the spring breeze was blowing on his face, and his brows were full of high spirits, “Old rules, those who win will get the bonus.”
“Of course.” Before he finished speaking, Xie Ciyan picked up Yan Zhaozhao by the waist and gently put her down after stepping onto the boat, his movements gentle and caring.
Huo Sui snorted, unwilling to admit defeat.He turned his head to look at the woman with doubtful eyes, and the unwillingness in his heart softened.He strode forward, picked up Bi Luo with one hand, stepped into the boat, and sat her down gently.Then he raised his eyebrows and looked at Xie Ciyan, his eyes full of provocation – he was holding her with one hand.
Suddenly, a silent but sparkling war, belonging only to two men, began.
The two boats rowed out almost at the same time, breaking through the water of the lake and causing ripples on the water.The lake breeze picks up slightly, and the maple leaves fall into the water, swaying along with the hull of the boat, like red clouds drifting with the current.
Xie Ciyan held the oar calmly, his movements were neither fast nor slow, and there was no shaking at every stroke.Huo Sui, on the other hand, was as frivolous and unruly as ever, with the wind blowing when he paddled and the splashing water seemed to be a little flamboyant.
“Just wait and see, I will win back the prize.” Huo Sui grinned as he paddled, his eyes flashing with determination, and he did not forget to comfort Bi Luo who was sitting on the bow of the boat, “Don’t be afraid, I can’t bear to let you fall.”
A flush flashed across Biluo’s cheeks. Even though the two of them had done something so intimate, she still couldn’t help but feel a throbbing in her heart when she heard him say such words. It was as if she had swallowed several mouthfuls of cinnamon nectar, which was so sweet that it reached the depths of her heart.
On the boat not far away on the other side, Xie Ciyan snorted coldly, “General Huo is rowing the boat with nothing but his mouth? It’s very noisy.”
“What about you, Xie Ciyan? Have you held the pen too much and your wrist is weak? Your hand is almost making patterns, and you are left behind by me.” Huo Sui laughed loudly, and his tone was full of provocation.
“Really?” Xie Ciyan’s lips slightly raised, and he speeded up quietly.
The two boats chased each other, and ripples gradually appeared on the water surface, which glowed silvery white in the autumn sunshine.The two men seemed to be back to the way they used to be when they were competing in the military. They were in high spirits. No one said anything to me, and neither of them was willing to show weakness.
Yan Zhaozhao and Bi Luo, who had nothing to do with the fight, looked at each other across the lake, with unconcealable smiles in their eyes, like two spectators enjoying themselves.
Seeing that the boat was approaching the other shore, an egret jumped up from the shore and crossed the lake.At this moment, Huo Sui suddenly leaned over and exerted his strength, and the ship suddenly accelerated, leaping into the lead at the last moment. The bow of the ship hit the stone steps on the shore steadily, causing a splash of water.
“Win!” Huo Sui threw the oar away and laughed without caring about the image. His handsome face was filled with the pride of victory.
Bi Luo was stunned for a moment, then clapped her hands and burst out laughing, “The general is so awesome.”
Xie Ciyan’s ship docked a few breaths later. He looked as usual and led Yan Zhaozhao to the shore. He said in a calm tone: “General Huo’s sword is indeed not old.”
What he said was extremely yin and yang.
But Huo Sui didn’t mind at all, “I’m willing to admit defeat, thank you Ciyan. I can remember the winnings.”
Xie Ciyan raised his eyebrows, “Tell me, what do you want?”
Huo Sui suddenly put away his joking expression, looked seriously, knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and said, “I want to take advantage of this good fortune and ask the emperor to personally give me a dowry when I get married to Bi Luo.”
As soon as these words came out, although the empress looked calm, Bi Luo behind her suddenly widened her eyes, obviously shocked.
When a palace maid gets married, there is no such thing as a dowry from the emperor.This is not only a dowry, but also a dignity and honor. With this dowry, after Bi Luo marries into the general’s mansion, who else dares to gossip, and who dares to look down on Bi Luo’s background.
“Your Majesty, please don’t listen to his nonsense——” Bi Luo was so anxious that she knelt down quickly, at a loss what to do, and her face was full of panic.
“It’s not nonsense.” Huo Sui interrupted directly, with a stubborn look in his eyes, “I want her to marry me in a beautiful way, and I no longer need to look at other people’s eyes at all.”
“Okay, you all get up first.” Yan Zhaozhao couldn’t see the two of them kneeling here, and immediately continued: “General Huo is interested. I am relieved that Bi Luo will marry you.”
She glanced at Xie Ciyan and finally told them their original plan.”Even if you didn’t tell me today, Xie Ciyan and I had already prepared this dowry, but we never thought that you would take the initiative to ask for it.” Yan Zhaozhao stepped forward and took Bi Luo’s hand, her voice was gentle and full of reluctance, “You have been with me since you were a child, and now that you are going to marry as a woman, I will let you marry in glory. When you get married, not only will you have the dowry prepared by Xie Ciyan, but you will also marry as my sworn sister.”
“Empress…” How could Bi Luo not know how much honor and confidence her empress had given her? She was surprised and happy, her eyes filled with tears, “How… can this be done?”
“You have always stayed by my side regardless of danger. I have long regarded you as my relative.” Yan Zhaozhao took out the handkerchief and gently wiped away the raging tears on her face, with a smile in her eyes. “After you get married, if Huo Sui dares to bully you, use your identity as the queen’s sworn sister to suppress him and treat him well!”
Huo Sui was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he clasped his fists and said loudly: “Don’t worry, Madam, I don’t dare.”
Immediately, he seemed to think of something again, and suddenly turned to look at Xie Ciyan, “In that case, I can still get some luck, right?” He laughed loudly, obviously very happy.”Then I want a golden mountain.”
“You’re dreaming.” Xie Ciyan replied calmly, without even changing his tone.
Huo Sui just laughed. He had no intention of asking for the lottery for himself. He just wanted to use the lottery to get a dowry and dignity. Now that he got what he wanted, he had nothing else to ask for.
But he still kept his words and smiled like a rogue, “Now that Chrysostom has opened his mouth, how can you thank Ciyan for not keeping your words?”
Xie Ciyan glanced at him, “Try calling me by my first name again?”
Huo Sui immediately coughed, bowed to him with his fists, and shouted sternly: “Thank you, Your Majesty, Long Live Your Majesty, Long Live Your Majesty—”
The breeze from the boat blew across the lakeside, stirring up the red maples all over the place.
It’s still warm in autumn and the sun is just right.There were bursts of laughter and laughter by the lake. Although the outcome was decided, the young man’s spirit and warmth were still strong.
