Lin Long put down the travelogue in his hand when he saw the man come in, "It's not uncomfortable in the morning, why are you idle now?" ”

Ye Xuyao lifted his robe and sat next to his wife, he didn't know that a woman's life would be so uncomfortable before, and he only had the opportunity to appreciate it after nearly a year of being married, and he still remembered the first time he saw blood stains on the bed, he thought she was injured and almost made a joke, and now he still can't look back.

"There's nothing ahead of me, I'm worried about you, so I'll come in and have a look." He looked at her and ate those sweet and sour pickles, and couldn't help frowning, "It's really not much good to eat this, I'll have someone make you some useful pastime food." ”

"No, I'd love this right now." Lin Long stopped her husband, she cared more about the time she spent with him than reading the travelogue, and stretched out her hand to him, "Talk to me." ”

Ye Xuyao gently hugged her in his arms, "How can you be like Brother Ting and Brother Hui?" ”

"What? Not happy anymore? Lin Long feigned anger.

Ye Xuyao pinched the bridge of her pretty nose lightly, "How can you not be happy?" I should have raised an extra daughter. ”

When Lin Long heard this, he gave him a blank look, when did he look like his daughter?

When the husband and wife were playing with the spear, the voice of the bandit came from outside the door, "Master, Lord Wei Chi is looking for you and has found it." ”

As soon as he heard these three words, Ye Xuyao's originally relaxed expression was tight.

Lin Long saw that her husband put away his comfortable appearance, so he sat up, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, you can lie here in peace and don't run around, I'll come when I go." Ye Xuyao leaned over and kissed her red lips lightly, and then went out as soon as he was dressed in a robe.

Lin Long watched her husband leave, her face thoughtful, where could she still sleep? Ignoring the yin and yin pain in her stomach, she struggled to get out of bed, changed into neat clothes, walked out without thinking about it, and asked Aunt Xin to follow, leaving Ruyan and Rumei behind.

"Aunt Xin, is something happening?" She asked in a whisper.

"Grandma don't worry, grandma will deal with it." Aunt Xin said expressionlessly, but having said that, at this time, she secretly pressed her hand on the hilt of the soft sword, always on guard against accidents.

Lin Long doesn't know martial arts, it doesn't mean that she can't feel the tension of the atmosphere, especially seeing that no one is resting in the other rooms of the cabin, it seems that something is really wrong. "Aunt Xin, don't hide it from me."

This time she spoke in a commanding tone.

Aunt Xin frowned slightly, and saw Lin Longyan's face, this is not an ordinary boudoir woman, so she didn't hide it, "If you go back to Grandma, we may have met a water bandit." ”

Water bandits?

Lin Long was taken aback this time, there are land bandits on the land, and there are water bandits on the water, she knows this, but she didn't expect that she would meet them, after all, they are official ships, under the banner of the imperial court, are these water bandits dead?

Ruyang City.

Although the marriage between Ye Manjun and Zhu Ziqi has not yet ushered in the will of the saint, it is already known to everyone. Her jade skin shop dragged on several times, and finally chose an auspicious day for the zodiac to open.

On this day, the sky happened to be high and cloudy, and the weather was excellent, she deliberately wore a plain winter coat with red edges, after all, she was worried about the loss of two sons in a row by the king of Ruyang, so she did not wear red green to stun people's eyes.

The decoration of this jade skin shop is like the store in the capital, taking the route of pure and elegant, the products are placed one by one, as early as three days ago, she made a good post, this is a good opportunity for her to test the water temperature.

Ma Lan's family was very enthusiastic, calling friends to come to this jade skin shop, and when they saw Ye Manjun coming out dignified and beautiful, they smiled and said, "I wish Miss Ye a prosperous business." ”

"Thank you, Mrs. Ma." Ye Manjun responded with a smile, and then asked the shopkeeper in the store to welcome Ma Lan and the others in.

It's just that the auspicious time is approaching, and the opening is imminent, and a few friends of the Ma Lan clan can't support the scene in this store, and the people who can make friends with the Ma Lan clan are all people from the imperial court, and their identities are several grades worse than Ye Manjun, and such a woman only has the share of Ye Manjun.

Ye Manjun coped with it for a while, there was still a polite smile on his delicate face, and he didn't seem to be worried about the coldness at the moment.

Ma Lanshi approached her, saw that those friends were all picking out the cream, and said softly: "Miss Ye, I said before that there is no need to send a post to them, they will not come, and now they are thinking about which of their own daughters to stuff to Zhu Erye." ”

On such a day, she didn't dare to show her sighing side, so she could only persuade Ye Manjun not to have any more expectations.

Ye Manjun's face was still the same as before, she knew the thoughts of the magnates of Ruyang City when she entered the city, and for this, Concubine Teng found her door.

She still remembered that after a few polite words that day, Concubine Teng said as if she had come over: "Miss Ye, I shouldn't have said these words, but you know that this Ruyang City has an inherent tradition, and they are all afraid that the emperor in the capital will send troops to attack Ruyang City, so the defense has become heavier over the years." Don't hide it from Miss Ye, I am the daughter of the Teng family, so I naturally understand their worries better. Now that the second master is about to become the prince, this is the first prince with the blood of the local magnates in Ruyang City, do you understand how heavy the burden on his body is......"

"Concubine Teng, what are you going to say?" Ye Manjun interrupted her with a slight frown.

Concubine Teng didn't say anything at length, "Since you want me to say it straightforwardly, then I'm not welcome, in addition to your wife, he must include five concubines on the day of marriage, Miss Ye, I told you in advance, so that you can be mentally prepared." You have weight in your heart, and his feelings for you should be the deepest, so you must be considerate of him, and don't force him to express his position on this issue and embarrass him......"

Ye Manjun actually understood in his heart from the moment he accepted Zhu Ziqi that they couldn't get around the topic of concubines, and it was extremely difficult for the two of them to stay together for a lifetime, but there was some expectation in his heart, but he ushered in Concubine Teng's words.

She really didn't feel good at that time, if she hadn't seen the loving life of her eldest brother and sister-in-law, maybe she would be willing to accept such an arrangement, which powerful family is not a group of wives and concubines? As long as the man respects her as a wife, as long as she can lead her husband to give birth to her eldest son, as for love, she has no expectations.

If you want to blame, you can only blame Zhu Ziqi for letting her understand what love between men and women is, the more she sinks into it, the more she can't accept that there are other women around her future husband, and she is jealous, she can already appreciate its taste before she gets married.

Seeing that she was silent for a long time, Concubine Teng's face was slightly anxious, and she said even more eagerly: "Miss Ye, I am really doing this for your good, I don't mean to create a conflict between you and Ji'er, you have to treat it differently?" If you want to be together for a long time, you have to accept this system. That's how I came back then, I can understand your feelings, but I can understand ......."

"Concubine Teng......" she was about to interrupt her with a cold face.

Zhu Ziqi stepped in with heavy military boots, and the footsteps were his, and then he came in with a cold face in armor, and he didn't look at his mother-in-law, but grabbed Ye Manjun's arm and pulled her away.

Ye Manjun had a surprised expression on his face, and before he could say anything, he was pulled outside by the man.

Concubine Teng hurriedly shouted, "Period, what are you doing?" Quickly let go of Miss Ye......"

Helplessly, her shouting couldn't stop Zhu Ziqi from pulling her away.

"What are you doing?" She could barely keep up with his pace, and her dignified expression was messed up, leaving only the woman's own coquettishness.

Zhu Ziqi turned around and picked her up, and continued to stride forward expressionlessly.

Hearing the movement here, the Ma Lan clan was busy bringing people over to check, thinking that there would be no chaos in the secret talk between Concubine Teng and Ye Manjun, who knew that this Second Master Zhu would suddenly appear.

Ye Manjun was hugged by him again, her face was red with shame, and when she saw Ma Lan's face appear, she was still embarrassed to lower her head, and her hands subconsciously climbed on her fiancé's neck.

Zhu Ziqi didn't make a sound all the way, and even Ma Lan's didn't dare to step forward and talk more, so he could only be forced to get out of the way for this domineering future son.

After walking all the way to the shadow wall, Zhu Ziqi put Ye Manjun on the mount brought by his subordinates, and said, "Sit down." ”

Ye Manjun is a lady of the boudoir, there is no custom of female dependents learning to ride horses in the capital, and they are generally the daughters of military generals who can ride horses, and their reputation will be greatly damaged, and they are said to be vulgar people, and their marriage will be greatly affected.

She could only hold the saddle tightly until someone sat up behind her and grabbed her willow waist, and then he untied his cloak and put it on her, and then kicked the horse's belly and drove out of the office.

The speed was so fast that even the uncle and nephew of the Ye family who rushed to hear the sound didn't have time to stop it.

Ye Manjun rode wildly on a horse for the first time, the wind swept over her face, she felt a little tingling, and then the cloak pulled up, and she buried her head in his arms, revealing the skirt under her.

However, after driving through the bustling market and then out of the city gate, this high-profile publicity, everyone knew that Zhu Ziqi's person was his fiancée, the noble girl from the capital, and many people suddenly looked around, and the rumors derived from it were boiling.

In addition to the sound of the wind, Ye Manjun's ears were the sound of people's discussions, and her mood at that time was extremely complicated, a little bitter and a little sweet, as if she had knocked over the five-flavor bottle.

It wasn't until the horse carrying them stopped at a hill that her cloak was lifted.

Ye Manjun suddenly looked up at Zhu Ziqi, "What are you doing?" Do you think that my reputation is too good for no one to know, so let everyone know about it and talk about it? And then it becomes the talk of the conversation after dinner......"

"That's all you thought of?" Zhu Ziqi asked her coldly.

Ye Manjun was a little annoyed by his self-determination, and her little face was turned aside to ignore him, not to mention that she estimated that she had been riding a horse for about an hour, and now her thighs were even more painful, and tears were about to fall.

Her chin was lifted by Zhu Ziqi, and she was immediately forced to look at him, only to see a little pity in his eyes, not like a cold face along the way, "My mother went to find you while I was out of the city to practice, don't be sad because of her words, her words are not accurate......"

"Can you keep me alone for the rest of your life?" Ye Manjun couldn't help but say a little bitterly.

Zhu Ziqi's brows furrowed tightly, and his big palm caressed her pretty face instead, "Aren't I working hard?" Why do you think I'm running this lap around town? ”

How could Ye Manjun not know that he was declaring?

Announcing that the person he likes in the Zhu Zi period is the daughter of her Ye family, there is this circle, gossip will thrive like the wind blowing, and within an hour, it will spread to those powerful families, and then within two hours, the boudoir will spread all over, don't look at the weight of rumors, it is only heavy and not light.

Those women who want to give their daughters to Zhu Ziqi, or want to marry Zhu Ziqi, will carefully weigh whether it is worth making such a big effort to please a man who has a heart?

"But do you think they're going to give up on that? Second Master Zhu, they won't, isn't this the tradition of your Ruyang City? Ye Manjun still analyzed rationally.

"Yes, that's right, they won't give up, but in this way, I won't be sorry no matter what I do, this is their choice, I also have a choice in the Zhu Zi period, and I will show them my choice, if they insist on going their own way, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people in the future."

Zhu Ziqi said very coldly and domineeringly, but Ye Manjun felt that this man was so attractive, and he rarely looked at him stupidly.

The two of them have always been affectionate and polite, and they don't do anything about the courtesy, but in that no-man's land, only against the backdrop of a winter scene, the breath of the two is intertwined, which seems ambiguous and lingering.

Zhu Ziqi suddenly reached out and cupped her face, and for the first time, he moved as he wished, and lowered his head to print the red lips that she had been seducing him.

Ye Manjun nervously grabbed the placket on his chest, when he deepened this first kiss, she actually ignored the training of more than ten years, closed her eyes and let him kiss.

Thinking back on this qiē at this moment, she still felt the temperature on her lips, and reached out to casually brush her red lips, but she was ashamed to think of that shameful scene.

Ma Lan's long-term wait didn't answer Ye Manjun, seeing that she should be distracted, and was about to call her.

Who knew that someone was singing at this time, "Princess Ruyang sent an opening gift-"

This voice woke up Ye Manjun, she squinted her eyes slightly, Zhu Chen's gift to her? Isn't it a weasel giving a New Year's greeting to a chicken?
