[110] The prosperity is exhausted, and the king is walking
Yu Lixiao's composure aroused Yu Yan's curiosity.
Before this, he had taken her to Moon Island and practiced swords in the open space behind the princess's mansion, which surprised her every time. I wonder where it is this time?
"Put it on." He brought a set of soldiers' clothes, blue and blue, embroidered with Xiao characters on the cuffs and collar. He threw another round of cyan brocade.
"Then turn around and don't peek." She hugged her clothes and said a little shyly.
He didn't say a word, but really turned around, and sat down at the table, sipping his tea bowl lightly.
"Don't look at it, or I'll be angry." Yu Yan glanced at him quickly and turned her back.
Yu Lixiao listened to her words, smiled silently, and slowly turned his head to look at her. She really dared to believe that he didn't look at it, his clothes were faded, his delicate figure, slender waist and round hips, he was really beautiful.
"Look!" She suddenly turned her head to plutonium.
Yu Lixiao was one step faster than her, pretending to drink tea, and said slowly: "I want to see it, I will walk in front of you to see, who will look at your back?" β
Yu Yan didn't know that he had peeked out, and thought that he had really wronged him. Turning his head, he first wrapped his chest with cloth, then put on his coat, combed a high hair bundle against the water in the copper basin, wrapped it in cloth, and immediately became a tomboy. It's just that after the bangs are combed up, the birthmark on the forehead corner is much more eye-catching.
"Are there any masks?" Yu Yan dressed up, turned around and covered her forehead and whispered to him.
He turned his head, his eyes lit up, and he walked slowly in front of her, his long fingers lightly lifted her chin, looked left and right, and whispered, "No mask, it's good." β
"Really." She pointed to her birthmark and whispered, "Isn't this scary?" β
"Of course, men have to have some special marks to look mighty."
Yu Lixiao's original intention was to appease, but when Yu Yan heard it, she felt that something was wrong - a man has to have this, but she is obviously a woman, could it be that she looks like a man?
She took out the handkerchief, tied it around her forehead, and raised her eyes to sweep him, "Is that good?" β
Yu Lixiao raised his eyebrows and said slowly: "Are you confined?" β
Yu Yan tore off the veil and said dejectedly: "Do you still know that a woman wants to tie this up during confinement?" β
"I also know that a woman and a man can have children when they are together." He walked over to the side of the cupboard, rummaged through it for a moment, and took out a small tin box.
"The prince is erudite, and he actually knows this!" Yu Yan said a few sarcastic words, walked up to him, and looked at him curiously.
This is a silver half-face mask, he picked it up and buckled it on half of Yu Yan's face, and it was tightly sealed, just covering half of his face. On the one hand, she is like jade, and on the other hand, she is hidden in this cold and shining silver, with bright eyes and thin lips, thin and slender, and she is completely defeated by the most prestigious young man.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Yu Yan's fingertips fell on the silver mask, her eyebrows frowned, and she looked at him with some apprehension.
His dark eyes looked her up and down, and he smiled, "Beautiful." β
Yu Yan was suddenly hit by something called joy, pursed her lips and smiled, walked to the copper basin and looked left and right at the water.
"It's so pretty? How did you have this thing? Who are you going to give it to? β
Yu Yan has a lot to say, she didn't realize it herself, since he stood in front of so many people and took the whip for her, she has been in a good mood, like a rainbow in the clean and bright sky after the rain, so beautiful that the sky is full of clouds.
"Picked it up."
He replied to her slowly, and stepped out.
Yu Yan was still waiting for him to say that he had given it to her, and she didn't want to pick it up...... Where can I pick it up? She also went to pick up ten or eight......
Following her out, Fan Yi and the others were already waiting outside, one person and one rider, all heroic. Chen Yao and Han Mi are also among them. Chen Yao was wearing a black power suit, with a wide belt, long hair tied into a high bun, and a white hosta holding it. He carried a short bow on his back and an arrow bag on his waist, revealing more than a dozen black-feathered arrows. Saimi is also dressed in black, her lips under the eagle's hooked nose are tightly pursed into a straight line, and the eyes of the yin owl are staring at Yu Yan.
Yu Yan deliberately glanced at him and smiled slightly.
Ah Lang handed the black iron knife to Yu Yan, raised his eyes and stabbed Han Mi, and said in a low voice: "Saimi, the princess is not something you can stare at. β
"The princess forgives her sins." Saimi bowed his head and saluted with his fists.
"People have faces to show people, otherwise what are they doing with faces?" Yu Yan smiled and tied the knife to her belt.
"This is the princess's horse." Nie Shuangcheng brought a handsome black horse.
Yu Yan took a look at it and was happy. Although it is not Chen Yao's sweat and blood BMW, she likes this horse at a glance, tall and straight, strong and powerful limbs, and the right eye circle is pure white hair, which is very interesting - isn't this similar to the birthmark on her right forehead?
Yu Lixiao did it on purpose, right? She turned her head to look at him, who was wearing his cloak and talking to General Fan, not looking this way.
"Is it a war horse? Will it leave me behind. She laughed, and pulled the reins to climb on the horse.
Alang was about to reach out to help her, but she had already climbed up neatly, kicked the horse's belly with a decent foot, and laughed crisply: "Very good...... Let's go...... Ah......h
This is the most commanding war horse, she said gone...... It immediately leaped up with her, leaping high above the heads of the group of people in front of her, and then landed lightly and steadily on the ground, and galloped forward.
Yu Yan's soul was almost shattered by this jump, only to feel that the fierce wind was blowing through her cheeks, and her skin and flesh hurt terribly. Riding a horse, it looks majestic, but in fact it is not very comfortable, the farts and thighs are the most painful, and the face is dry and painful by the wind - look at the chivalrous women in the rivers and lakes, exposed to the sun and rain all the year round, riding horses and galloping, the skin is indeed not as delicate as the women they have been raised in the boudoir for many years, and if you want to be a chivalrous woman, you have to pay the price!
Yu Yan was very nervous, and kept holding on to the reins, and the sound of horses' hooves behind her became more and more urgent, and one after another handsome horses galloped towards her. Yu Lixiao's "Green Arrow", Chen Yao's "Red Luan", Hanmi's "Big Rabbit", and General Fan Yi's "Fu Xing...... It's all good horses.
"Is it okay to be alone?" Yu Lixiao slowed down and looked at her with a smile.
"Lord Wang, if this horse throws me down, remember to save me." Yu Yan glanced at him, her eyes were firmly fixed on the front, her shoulders shrugged hard, and all her strength was used on her arms.
"Don't be afraid." Yu Lixiao's whip flicked over lightly, slapped on the horse's back, and said loudly: "Rejoice, run well." β
Yu Yan quickly turned her head, surprised by the name she heard.
Ingots, rejoicing...... What Yu Lixiao showed Yu Yan was the most relaxed side of his personality, the side that he didn't want others to see, but he was not afraid of losing his majesty in front of Yu Yan.
Stepping on the stars and stepping on the moon, blowing the wind and dust, the group soon came out of the rear of the camp and entered the foot of the mountain where the moonlight could not penetrate.
Yu Yan learned from them and strangled hard, and looked up at the front. The lush trees formed a dense and opaque forest, and the guards lit torches to illuminate the area in front of them.
"The old rule, hunting the red fox means that everything goes well, hunting the gray fox represents longevity, and they are all rewarded." Nie Shuangcheng rode forward, holding two black and red flags, and waved vigorously.
"Heh, the old minister hasn't hunted for some days, so I'm here to have a good time, boys, let me, an old man, let me touch the blessings of the king."
Fan Yi smiled heartily, took off the bow and arrow from his back, turned over and dismounted, and beckoned the guards around him to enter the mountain.
"Old general, you are an old fox, we are afraid that you will sell a few of us to the mountain god and exchange them for your blessings!"
Several young generals also dismounted, jokingly, hugged their fists at Yu Lixiao, and ran quickly towards the mountain.
"Lord Wang, we also went."
Chen Yao stepped forward, nodded to Yu Lixiao, and entered the mountain with Saimi. The two figures, one high and one low, were soon swallowed up by the night that was as thick as splashed ink,
The rustling sound of the branches shaken by the mountain wind brought a strange tension to the silent mountain forest.
"Which way are we going?" Yu Yan looked at the two paths in front of her, pulled out the knife on her waist, and held it tightly in her palm.
"Put it away." Yu Lixiao stepped forward slowly, held her hand, and put the knife back in the scabbard, "Don't be scared and swing around, the fox didn't hunt, and stabbed me a few times." β
Yu Yan's chest tightened for a while, she pulled out the knife again, looked up at him and said, "I won't stab you, you and Nie Shuangcheng are in the same team, I am with Ah Lang, I will stab him, he is tight and strong, and he is not afraid of stabbing." β
Team...... Right? Before Yu Lixiao could react, Yu Yan had already strode towards the mountain road on the right.
She is a woman who does not admit defeat, and likes exciting and fresh things, the matter of hunting late at night is the first time in her life, she is so excited that her blood is surging, and she can't wait to hunt tigers, wolves, jackals and leopards immediately, and she is majestic.
Aaron followed behind her, his steps steady, and from time to time he used the long knife in his hand to cut through the thorns of the branches and leaves that came to her.
Yu Yan walked sweating profusely, hungry again, and rested against a tree.
"The princess will eat first, and when she hunts rabbits and pheasants, her subordinates will roast them for you to eat." Aaron took out an oil-paper bag from his bosom, and inside were two buns.
"That's what he said not to make me hungry?" Yu Yan smiled dumbly, lifted the mask up, put it on top of her head, and then took the bun and took a big bite.
The forest was dense and opaque, and Alang only held a small torch in his hand, and when the mountain wind blew, the fire danced wildly.
"Could it be that the hunting is for me, so that I can hide here and eat steamed buns?" She asked curiously.
Ah Lang coughed embarrassedly and whispered: "The princess thinks too much, originally hunting and fishing were prohibited in spring, and when everything is revived, autumn is the time to hunt." Therefore, the fox hunt has to be caught alive today, and the prince must release it with his own hands before he orders the attack tomorrow, so as to boost morale."
Yu Yan finished the bun in two bites, and sighed lightly: "The offside position is high, the more I love to toss...... If you want to let go, why catch. β
Ah Lang's mouth opened and closed again - the women who dared to speak like this were only Yu Yan and Nian An, one was bold and the other was not courageous.
"Hey, look, it's a seven-knot grass." Yu Yan stopped suddenly, pointed to a canopy of wild grass on the side of the road and smiled, with tiny purple flowers blooming on it.
"Does this grass do anything?" Aaron asked in a whisper.
"Well, soaking your feet after frying can help you sleep." Yu Yan squatted down, cut a large canopy of seven knots of grass, wrapped it in a handkerchief and stuffed it into her belt.
Yu Lixiao always twisted his eyebrows when he fell asleep at night, and he could see that the dream was not stable, and he had too much resentment and anger in his heart, so he couldn't sleep at night.
Yu Yan used to soak her father's feet in fried water with seven knots of grass, and the effect was quite good.
"I can't imagine that Niangniang also understands herbal medicine, can't Niangniang sleep well?" Aaron also helped her cut some of it, lifted up the hem of her robe and tucked it into her belt, and put the seven knots of grass into the hem of her clothes.
"Ahh Yu Yan didn't explain, and walked forward slowly. After more than ten steps, she raised her hand again and cut a tent of wildflowers and held it in her hand.
"What is this?" Aaron looked at the blade of grass in her hand and asked curiously.
"I don't know how to do it, I think this flower is good-looking, go back and insert it in the vase - did the prince say when will Nian'an and Nian'en come back?"
"The two of them have already returned to the palace, only you and Mrs. Chenyao can enter the king's tent camp, and others can't come in."
"How's the battle going up front?" Yu Yan nodded and asked casually.
"Well, there is a stalemate, and there is always no way to fight across the river, and the warships and soldiers have suffered a lot of losses. That's why the prince rushed over, and if he wanted to come up with a plan to break the city, he had to capture Chujing City on the other side of the river within six days. With a swing of his sword, Aaron cut her a few more wild flowers that she had taken a fancy to, tied them with vines, and walked after her.
"Aaron, you're so careful." Yu Yan looked at him with a smile.
"The prince has an order, what the mother does, what she wants, her subordinates must help the mother to complete it." Aaron replied to her earnestly.
The corners of Yu Yan's mouth raised, and she said softly: "Did he teach you to say this?" Do you get paid? β
Aaron coughed awkwardly again, not knowing how to reply to her.
Yu Yan laughed softly and walked forward quickly, she just said it deliberately. When she was picking the seven knots of grass, Yu Li Xiao had already followed, Ah Lang's ears were sharp, and he had already known the Tao, so he deliberately said good things, wanting her to say a few good words to make Yu Li Xiao happy.
But Yu Yan only helped him with herbs at night, and as soon as he smelled the smell of this medicine, he knew that he came with him! It's not a good habit to eavesdrop on others, so Yu Yan doesn't let him listen to it!
"Niangniang, otherwise, we will also go fox hunting and have a happy celebration." Ah Lang saw that she had no intention of hunting foxes, so she only walked slowly, cutting grass and pinching flowers, and wandering leisurely, so he persuaded her.
"It's very festive, it's rare to be leisurely, and there are masters to protect me." Yu Yan suddenly turned around and put a wildflower under her nose and sniffed.
Yu Lixiao was standing ten steps away, the light of the torch in Ah Lang's hand barely shone at his feet, the light was weak, and he could only faintly see his hands behind him, his tall figure standing tall and proud.
"Where the hell are you taking me? I can't really walk. Yu Yan asked with a smile.
Ah Lang was stunned and was thinking hard about the answer, when Yu Lixiao came over slowly, stared at her and said, "Fox hunting." β
"You, the ancestor of the fox, will have the leisure to do such useless work? In such a big circle, you have to be above board to get rid of these people, and if you don't say it, I'm not leaving. Yu Yan sat down on the ground, stretched out her hand and rubbed her calf, and whispered a threat.
"Yu Yan, what I hate about you the most is that you can see through everything at a glance." Yu Lixiao rubbed her foot lightly on her calf, but her tone was calm, and she couldn't hear her joy and anger.
"Don't dare, it's as if I can read minds, but I've been in contact with all kinds of people for a long time, and I know how to analyze and judge." Yu Yan raised her sleeves to wipe her sweat, put down the half-silver mask, and said, "For example, this mask is what you are going to give to your sweetheart, right?" I've been rummaging in the cabinet for so long, obviously it's on the top, I can see it, but you can't see it, which shows that you are nervous, and it's the first time you send what you want to give to others, right? Ha, Lord ......"
Yu Yan said, laughing crisply, not saving him any face.
"Shut up." Yu Lixiao suddenly became a little annoyed, bent down to cover her mouth, and threatened viciously.
Aaron was embarrassed to look at it and quietly retreated.
Yu Yan's shoulders kept shaking, and he covered his mouth tightly, and said vaguely: "The prince is careful to flash his waist......"
"Sharp teeth." He crossed his hands, lifted her from the ground, pressed her against the tree, pinched her little face and kissed her hard.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is ruthless, she is so strong that she can suck her tongue down, and Yu Yan screams in pain.
"Hey...... Sooner or later, bite off this deft tongue of yours. He gasped heavily, and the boiling blood after being provoked by her was surging rapidly in his body at this time, and every vein, every inch of skin, began to burn.
Yu Yan covered her lips, lowered her eyes slightly, and suddenly became a little shy, and said softly: "Just bite it...... I...... Kiss me. β
She is so smart, everything is like a mirror in her heart, she can see through and see through. Yu Lixiao caressed her face, leaned his forehead against her, hugged her tightly, bit her earlobe, and said dumbly: "Just kiss? β
"Eh......" Yu Yan sighed lightly, the four words "inch inch" are the most suitable for him, and she can't say anything else.
"Or else...... Kiss here? His hand slid to her cheek and rubbed it gently.
Yu Yan's face was red and hot, and she quickly pushed his hand away, "You still have to do something, let's go, don't miss your big event of attacking the city, since you take me with you, it must be useful for me...... You can't make me lose any strength, and you'll be in vain. β
Only then did he slowly let go of his hand, his eyes were full of smiles, and he slapped her lightly on the mouth, "Yu Yan, don't be so smart." β
"Wouldn't it give you the energy to speak?" Yu Yan covered her lips again, her eyes glanced left and right, and she was so ashamed that she didn't dare to look at him.
His mind moved, and he quickly slipped his hand into the hem of her garment, chuckling.
After four years of marriage, Yu Yan, who was accustomed to being a widow, honestly confessed her heart to him with her body on a spring night...... I like the heart of a man.
"Xiao Yan'er...... Why are you so sensitive? He smiled dumbly, just hugging and kissing like this, she reacted, he really got a baby.
"Don't laugh." Yu Yan was suddenly annoyed, her breathing was rapid, and she turned her head and left.
"It's in the wrong direction." He said leisurely behind her.
Yu Yan turned around and walked in his direction again.
"Still wrong." He was still in that calm tone.
"Which side?" Yu Yan asked angrily.
"Upper." On his finger, the foliage was luxuriant, and an owl was crouching on the branch, staring at the two men who had prevented it from catching food with great green eyes.
"To heaven?" Yu Yan's steps were heavy, and she took a few big steps back in front of him, glaring at him angrily.
"Yes." With a faint word, he took her hand and walked slowly in the direction where Yu Yan had started walking.
"You...... Am I not on the right track? Yu Yan was angry, isn't this tricking her?
"That's not right!" He turned to look at her, but said no more.
Gotta go with him, stay with him, that's what he wantsβside by side!
Yu Yan immediately understood, once upon a time, she also thought about being with Yun Qin for the rest of her life, riding a horse on the frontier with him, stepping on the yellow sand......
When did the dream actually leave her, and she actually allowed the domineering and annoying man in front of her to kiss her......
Yu Yan has a sense of guilt for betraying Qingmei Meimei, how could she let her heart be filled with a person she used to reject?
How could she quietly accept the status quo of multiple concubines?
Obviously these are not what she wants!
Her steps slowed down, looking at his back wistfully, is this the life she has struggled for a long time and fought for? From now on, she will spend her time in the competition for favor, endlessly, with open guns and hidden arrows? For the little favor he gave, he was complacent, and finally became a woman like Chen Yao, who did whatever it took to get affection and conspired to harm others?
"What are you thinking?" He stopped and turned to look at her.
Yu Yan smiled self-deprecatingly, and gently waved the small flower branch in her hand, "I want to ...... What big deal will you have that you need me, the master of the Jingcheng City, to step in? β
