Chapter 25
The night was cold, the bright moonlight shrouded the Canghe River, and a few wisps of silver light sprinkled into the light veil and slightly drooping hibiscus tent.
I opened my sleepy eyes, and the ache and pain in my body made me gasp a few times, and the pain deep in my body made me lean back into the crook of my arm.
"Are you awake?" Qi Ye was half-propped up, staring at me motionlessly. He wore a plain shirt casually over his upper body, and his black hair was scattered, revealing the lines of his collarbone and chest.
I was so red by his burning gaze that I noticed the beautiful scenery of the room in the boat, the red blooming on the elegant sheets, and the old face couldn't stand it, and went straight into his arms.
Qi Ye chuckled and grabbed me and kissed me lightly between my hair: "My little black is shy." The nasal voice in the words made my heart tremble, as if I was in the clouds.
"Where am I like you, my skin is thicker than the city walls. I buried myself in his arms, sniffed at the slight smell of sweat on his body, and muffled.
He raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand to put on a thin shirt for me, and said, "If I don't have a thick face, how can I let you be with me? ”
His words were like a spell, and I stroked his chest and muttered, "Jiulang, I can't escape for a long time." ”
He took my hand and placed it in his, and my palm looked petite in his broad palm. In the dim candlelight, the palms are together, and the fingers are interlocked.
He looked at our clasped fingers and said to me, "I can get you so completely, and I have no regrets in this life." ”
I looked up at him, took his palm with my fingers, and said, "Now that we belong to each other completely, we should be honest with each other in the future, and I will never lie to you again, and I hope you will treat me with all your heart." ”
He hugged me and said, "Naturally." ”
"What do you know about my past?" I asked, rolling over and jumping out of his arms, crawling on top of him and half-kneeling, staring into his eyes.
Qi Ye's dark eyes kept flashing with a glimmer, and he said indifferently: "I know the way." ”
"Tell me about it?"
"When you were seven years old, you met a son of Yuwen, and the two got along for a few years and you fell in love with him; at the age of fourteen, you fell seriously ill, hid in Yan to recuperate, and were infamous for bringing disaster to the country and the people; after you recovered from your illness, you returned to Chang'an, and the eldest brother mistook the eldest brother for the son, and the two got married, but the eldest brother died on the battlefield; everyone in Chang'an was afraid of you, and you went to Fengming Mountain for three years and became a nun for three years. Then, I was met. ”
I half-propped up, and my eyes drifted to a distant place with his eloquent words: "Why do you tell me what I have experienced over the years from your mouth, it feels like listening to other people's stories? When I was born, Si Tianjian's young priest said that I was destined to have the appearance of an emperor, but it is a pity that I am a blessed woman, where can I be an emperor? I have been sick since I was a child, and I am stubborn and perverse, and my father only regards me as a lucky star from heaven, and he doesn't take Shao Si's words seriously at all. Princess Zhaoyuan, High Interest Moon, Fierce Woman, Shura Yaksha...... Jiulang, such a me, dressed in all kinds of exaggerated names, when I met you, which one made you happy?"
"Your identity, your beauty, or the mystery you describe in people's mouths?" he looked at me and shook his head, "When I like you, you are just a little girl with joy and sorrow in my eyes. ”
My eyes were inexplicably sour, so I turned my head away and said, "Where am I still young...... The first eighteen years were confusing, and Lang spent too much time and missed too many people. ”
Qi Ye stretched out his hand, touched my hair, and said, "Xiao Hei, I'm sorry, I'm too late." ”
"No......" I shook my head and looked at him with a smile, "I just want you not to leave me like them, and love me only for the rest of your life." Kuro, can you do it?"
He stretched out his arms around me and sighed softly, "Fool, when is Yuwen Qiye not like this?"
"Yuwen Qi Ye ......" I put his name in my mouth and chewed it repeatedly, and engraved an imprint on my heart with my index finger, "Since then, this name has been associated with the high interest month, and I dare not forget it no matter the wind and rain." ”
Qi Ye grabbed my finger, pressed it on his heart, and said, "No matter the wind or rain, the high interest moon has always been here." ”
Black hair is entangled, skin to skin. The painting boat paddled slowly on the Canghe River, and my heart also swayed with the ups and downs.
I suddenly remembered what happened when I was clear-headed, and asked him, "Where did the star slave go?"
Qi Ye said: "He didn't do anything when I came, he looked at you fixedly. Later, the county lord of Lianxi came to see me here and took him away. ”
Hearing Lianxi's name, my heart sank, and I remembered the conversation between the two outside the boat, and said: "I heard that someone wanted to harm me, put a love incense on the boat, bought the internal guard, and attracted the star slave to frame me, how did you get here?"
"Tonight's night banquet, the prince should be in the limelight, if I stay in the banquet all the time, it is inevitable that someone will talk about me and sell my reputation, so I will deliberately spill wine and leave the banquet. I waited for a long time on the west bank, but when I saw that the ship was not yet moving, I was careful and hurried back, but fortunately it was not too late. ”
"It was my negligence, and when I saw that the inner guard was kind, I let my guard down, but I forgot that there are many people in this palace who want to hurt me. ”
"That person is the new Kingo, and I don't blame you. When I arrived, the county lord of Lianxi was rushing here with a lot of people, and he seemed to be in a hurry. ”
"She didn't ask you anything?"
Qi Ye groaned: "Hmm, asked." "I said that you fell asleep drunk, and vomited me, and I was embarrassed to see them coming, and I hugged you to cover the filth on your body." ”
Imagining the strange picture of a large group of people with different intentions coming, but stuck at the door, the corners of my mouth twitched, and my heart once again admired his face.
He seemed to regard it as a great pleasure in life to make me speechless, and I moved to the side of the couch and asked him angrily, "The ship is still moving, where are we going?"
He also moved to my side, squeezing me tighter, his eyes dark and sly: "The ice lantern is still floating on the river, you look out of the window." ”
As soon as I heard this, I got up and poked my head out of the window.
A full moon spreads a silver glow on the blue surface of the Canghe River, and countless crystal clear ice lamps float on the surface of the river, like a bright galaxy, swaying, extending to the horizon.
I have never seen anyone who can arrange such a large battle on the Canghe River, it is like a dream in the middle of the night, and it is breathtakingly beautiful.
I asked, "Not to mention that every time you enter and leave my Lingxi Palace." Let's just say that first the Xiwu City Gate, and then the Canghe River, although you are a great general, these things that even I dare not trespass, how did you do it?"
Qi Ye smiled: "These things seem presumptuous, but it is not difficult for me to do them. ”
"For what?"
"This is an agreement between me and the emperor. ”
