The soaked sleeves were almost transparent against his arms, and the water droplets slid down his white wrists and landed in the pool, spreading ripples layer after layer.

Hua Yue looked up at him, and asked in confusion, "Why don't you come down?" ”

“……”

The man on the shore stiffened his face and did not speak.

After waiting for a long time, the outstretched hand was cold, Hua Yue took it back aggrievedly, inhaled the tip of her red nose, silently swam to the other side of the bath, put her back against the edge of the bath, and then looked at it from afar with resentment.

The Adam's apple moved up and down, Li Jingyun took a light breath, crying and laughing: "What are you doing running so far?" ”

She drooped her brows and opened her mouth to make a sound, but her head was buried too low, and as soon as her lips were loosened, warm water poured in, and she choked and coughed.

Li Jingyun was happy, walked around the pool in three steps and two steps, and half-knelt down to fish her out of the water: "You haven't drunk enough?" ”

Looking at her resentful little eyes, she flattened her mouth, broke away from his hand, and pressed her back against the stone wall by the pool.

His eyes moved slightly, and Li Jingyun seemed to understand something.

He hooked his hand at her.

The drunken puppy looked at him angrily and refused to move. He snorted, and his index finger gently tapped the jade slab by the pool: "Come here." ”

His cheeks were bulging, and his cheeks were red from the steam, and Hua Yue glared at him for a while, but still reluctantly swam back towards him, and the closer he got to the person, the more he sank into the water, and when he returned to him, there was only a pair of poor almond eyes left on the water.

His heart was so soft that he sighed, touched her head, and whispered, "Ye didn't dislike you." ”

The person in front of him obviously didn't believe it, his brows furrowed, and the resentment in his eyes was even heavier. Seeing that he didn't seem to have anything else to say, she began to quietly step back again.

As a result, the next moment, she suddenly felt a tightness on her shoulders.

Someone snatched her up from the water, and a hot, solid arm crossed her waist and spun her around.

The water splashed back into the bath one after another, splashing countless ripples like a heavy rain in spring. The water-soaked midcoat slid down his shoulders, revealing a large patch of white and smooth skin and bright straps.

Hua Yue looked at the white water in a daze, and before she could react to what was happening, she felt that her vest was warm.

Li Jingyun hugged her and lowered her head and kissed the scar on her back.

Those ugly, twisted, unsightly scars.

One, two, three, he gently traced the shape of the scar, as if regretful, as if nostalgic, from the waist to the back of the shoulder, and finally gently grabbed the back of her neck.

"Does it still hurt?" He asked vaguely.

The trembling spread from behind his ears to his whole body, Hua Yue's heart was sour, and he subconsciously grabbed his sleeve with his backhand, and his eyes, which were not awake, were covered with a layer of fog under his eyes, as if he was not awake from a dream, and he was at a loss.

"Huh?" The person behind her couldn't hear the response, and their teeth lightly knocked against her neck.

“…… It doesn't hurt anymore. She replied in a trance.

"That's good." A warm breath rolled up, and whispered in her ear, "These are all debts owed to you by the master, there is nothing bad to look at, you can use these to ask the master for accounts." ”

The man in his arms shrank and asked pitifully, "What...... Why do you want it? ”

Li Jingyun thought for a moment of seriousness, then turned her around and pointed to her lips very sincerely: "Kiss here, you can get one kiss." ”

Hua Yue looked at him blankly, her mind was already in chaos, she watched his movements, subconsciously followed, the white and tender lotus arm put on his shoulder, and lowered her head to cover him.

The body stiffened, and Li Jingyun's eyes were as dark as night.

The wine he drank seemed to have finally come up, and the heat in his heart surged, and the hand holding her waist tightened unconsciously.

The man on his body let go of him, smirked and counted one, then lowered his head and kissed again, trying to count to two.

Before she could count it, he reached out and grabbed the back of her head and pressed the person back.

The heat in the hot springs was steaming and spreading, and a large area was wet on the edge of the flat bath, like a road surface that had dried up after a rain. The blue and black brocade robe was wrapped around the top, rolled together with the jade-colored skin, and between the cuffs and hems, a white and tender calf was exposed.

……

The main house was warm and dry with incense.

Li Jingyun carried the person back to the bed and wanted to find her clean clothes, but when she looked down and saw her delicate and skillful little face, she couldn't help but lower her head again, grinding and pecking her twice.

He has never liked to be close to people, but for some reason, he feels that being close to her is not enough.

It's a pity that she fell asleep without a good time.

Flicked her head slightly annoyed, Li Jingyun casually pulled the snow brocade robe that she hung aside, and gently rubbed the still wet green silk for her.

The person on the bed fell asleep obediently, and the little red face was innocent and innocent.

Li Jingyun had a smile in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't be pressed. He didn't know what he was happy about, but he was happy.

The man on the bed muttered, his hand waved in the air unconsciously, he reached out to take it, put it to his lips and kissed it gently, then stuffed it back into the quilt and tucked her away.

His eyes fell on her somewhat red and swollen lips, and he paused, leaning on the edge of the bed, and began to laugh again.

After the spring hunt, everyone began to set off for Beijing.

Hua Yue sat in the carriage with a pale face, stretched out her hand to cover her head, and wanted to vomit.

"Childe." She frowned and asked, "The concubine was drunk yesterday, but what was wrong?" ”

Li Jingyun propped his chin and looked at the landscape outside, and replied without blushing and heartbeat: "No, you fell asleep when you were drunk." ”

"Then ......," she was a little embarrassed, "how did the concubine's clothes change?" ”

Glancing at her, he said as a matter of course: "Smelling of alcohol, can the master still keep that clothes and spend the night in the room?" Clothes and you, there is always one thing to be thrown out, you choose for yourself? ”

There was a solemn silence for a moment, and Hua Yue respectfully saluted him: "Thank you, Childe." ”

It's much better to throw clothes than to throw her.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, Li Jingyun coughed lightly, and took the book to cover his face.

"Are you laughing?" She was suspicious.

"Nope." His voice was as usual, "Ye is just reading a book." ”

Looking at the cover of the book in his hand, the suspicion in Hua Yue's eyes deepened: "Can you understand it if you look it upside down?" ”

Quietly straightening the book over, Li Jingyun held back for a while, and finally couldn't hold it back, and laughed lowly.

“……”

The man in front of him was a little annoyed, his red lips pursed, and his eyebrows were furrowed.

Seeing that he was really angry, he coughed lightly, put down the book and said, "Go down the mountain from this road, and we can get to Baolai Pavilion at noon." ”

"Who's going to go to what treasure—" Before she finished speaking, she paused and looked at him unexpectedly, her eyes lit up little by little.

"Treasure Court?"

Li Jingyun said casually: "Just go shopping, just add some jewelry to you." ”

Fang Cai's still cloudy face instantly turned into a clear sky, Hua Yue no longer asked him what he was laughing at, but turned out the two red envelopes that he had been holding, and handed them to him with both hands.

"If it's given to you, you'll keep it." He waved his hand, "Go to the Bora Pavilion and spend it." ”

As if waiting for him to say this, Hanazuki happily hugged the two red seals in her arms, her eyes dripping and rolling.

Li Jingyun looked funny: "Yin Zhangshi, in your calculation of buying things, is there a place for the master?" ”

With a blank look, she looked at him weakly and nodded reluctantly.

With this reaction, Li Jingyun could also guess what she was thinking, and let out a long sigh, he looked into the distance with a vicissitudes of life: "The white-eyed wolf that can't be raised." ”

Slightly embarrassed, Hua Yue sat down beside him and generously took out a red envelope: "Everything here is used to buy things for Son." ”

He squinted at it, and there was a hint of pleasure at the end of his eyes: "What do you want to buy?" ”

She thought for a moment and said tentatively: "The jade pendant you carry with you? ”

Li Jingyun snorted disdainfully: "Han Shuang gave Ye a Nanyang jade cicada before, and you may not be able to buy a better red envelope." ”

With a tightness in her heart, Hua Yue put down her hand awkwardly, and her eyelashes drooped, which could cover her somewhat embarrassed eyes.

Realizing that what he said was not quite right, Li Jingyun sat up straight, and just wanted to make up for two more sentences, this person had already quickly put away the red seal, and a smile returned to his face: "Then the concubine will go to look for it and see if there are any other rare things." ”

"It's not." He opened his mouth, "Ye doesn't have to ask for anything valuable......"

"Childe's status is noble." She said empathetically, "It's because the concubine is not thoughtful." ”

pinched his thigh, Li Jingyun scolded in his heart, what did he say in a good manner. If he really wants to pull someone and say that he didn't mean it, it doesn't seem like there's any need, but if it's just like this, he doesn't know if she really doesn't mind.

The man next to him looked out the window with a calm expression, his hands folded on his lap, and he couldn't see joy or anger.

Li Jingyun was silent and had a complicated expression.

The carriages of the various families scattered from the beginning of entering the city, and the carriage of the General's Mansion stopped outside the Baolai Pavilion, and the men with eyes inside immediately came out to greet them.

"Mrs. Childe, please." The guy bowed and looked up again, "Huh? Miss Yin. ”

Hua Yue came to this place every month, and she was familiar with this guy, and said to him with a smile: "I'll buy something." ”

In the past, when she came, she was dressed in a gray squirrel robe, dusty, plain and unpretentious. And now, this person has changed into a splendid red dress, and he is wearing a delicate hairpin bead on his head, which is as white as jade, and he is extravagant and elegant.

The man's eyes were full of admiration, and then he whispered to her: "You should show our shopkeeper, he will definitely not dare to underestimate you again." ”

As if remembering something, Kazuki laughed along.

A shadow came up from behind him, enveloping the man inside. The guy only felt an inexplicable chill, and then a voice from the pubic side sounded in his ears: "Funny? ”

Startled, the guy turned his head to look, and met Li Jingyun's displeased eyes, and hurriedly took three steps back: "Little faux pas, please." ”

Hua Yue turned her head to look over, but saw that his expression was as usual, and even said to her almost gently, "Go in." ”

Glancing at the man's frightened look, she stepped through the door blankly.

Baolai Pavilion has two floors, and usually Hua Yue only dares to look at the first floor, but now that she has silver in her arms, she pulls him up to the second floor with confidence.

The shopkeeper was basking in the sun by the window on the second floor, and when he heard the movement, he turned his head to look at it casually, but he almost fell off the chair when he saw it.

"Third son?" He greeted him with a smile on his face, "Why did you come here in person today, but what do you want?" You sit here for a while, and the little one will fetch it for you. ”

How many times does this have to be patronized to make the shopkeeper so attentive? Hua Yue glanced at him with a sigh and thoughtfulness.

"Don't think about it." He darkened half of his face, "Ye just came with Xu Changyi and them before." ”

"Hmm." Kazuki didn't argue, nodding her head to indicate that she heard it, but she didn't believe it.

The back molars tightened, Li Jingyun sat next to him, stretched out his hand and pointed at her, and said to the shopkeeper: "This little ancestor, take her to pick and see what she wants." ”

The shopkeeper was stunned, thinking that the third son would bring a woman to pick things? This is the first time.

Turning his head to look at the woman, he was even more stunned: "Why are you?" ”

Hua Yuepi looked at him with a smile: "Waiting for the shopkeeper." ”

In the past, when she came here, she always picked up the first floor for a long time with her monthly money, and then bargained with him. The shopkeeper has never had a good face for her, a slave who has no money and wants to buy a baby, who would have thought that now she would come again, it would be such a scene.

The smile on his face was a little stiff, and the shopkeeper glanced at Li Jingyun, but he didn't dare to move, but he still bowed his head and asked her to go to the hairpin.

There are many things in the Baolai Pavilion, jewelry, jade, silk and satin, and Huayue has picked a lot, and the large and small boxes are stacked together, and they are half a person high.

The shopkeeper wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and whispered to her: "I was a little offended before, don't take it to heart." ”

Hua Yue glanced at him inexplicably and said, "What are the shopkeepers afraid of, I just came to buy things through the light of my son, and I won't give less silver." ”

"You can't say that." The shopkeeper smiled, "I'd rather take less money from you, and there is no reason to marry a beam by the side of the third son." ”

Hua Yue couldn't figure it out: "Although my son-in-law is from a noble background, he has no official position or achievements at the moment, so why is the shopkeeper so stammered." ”

The shopkeeper looked at her in disbelief: "You don't know? The third prince is out here, that's ......"

"Have you picked it?" Li Jingyun waited for a long time and walked over a little cowardly.

The shopkeeper immediately closed his voice and smiled at him: "Madame is very fond of the treasures of this store." ”

Full of suspicion, Hua Yue was not in a hurry to ask, only turned around and pointed to the box next to him, and then said, "That's all." ”

Li Jingyun nodded and asked her in a low voice, "Are you hungry?" ”

"A little." She said, "Now when I rush back home, I should still have time to eat." ”

"I'm not going back to eat." He said, "It's also greasy to eat the food in the house every day, there is a good restaurant next to here, and the master will take you to taste it." ”

When Hua Yue heard this, she shook her head again and again: "Madam is still waiting in the mansion, if you know that we haven't returned to the mansion after the spring hunt is dispersed, you have to worry." ”

The shopkeeper was full of horror when he heard this, and tried his best to give her a look - just follow the meaning of the third prince, how can you do it against such a nobleman?

However, before Hua Yue could receive his hint, the third prince in front of him snorted, and said helplessly: "Okay, go home." ”

Waiting shopkeeper: "......"

He thought something might be wrong with his ears, or maybe he was too sleepy just now, and he was dreaming right now.

However, Yin Huayue put a stack of silver tickets in his hand, and he could smell the familiar smell of paper and ink when he held it, which didn't look like a dream.

"I'll send the shopkeeper to the General's Mansion later."

"Yes."

Sending the two out of the door with a dull gaze, the shopkeeper stood at the door for a while.

"Shopkeeper?" Someone reached out and shook it in front of his eyes.

Waiting for the shopkeeper to come back to his senses, he looked at it fixedly, and hurriedly bowed his head and saluted: "Miss Han." ”

Han Shuang's face was sickly, and he coughed lightly twice: "The gold-inlaid jade four-butterfly magnolia I saw last time, you sent it to the Han Mansion for me." ”

Slightly stunned, the shopkeeper hurriedly said: "This is unfortunate, someone just bought it." ”

With his brows furrowed, Han Shuang asked with a little anger, "Who?" ”

"Miss, don't blame, it was the wife of the third son of the Li family who picked it up."

The other branch next to him came up and scolded: "What nonsense, the third prince hasn't set up the main room yet, where is the lady!" ”

The shopkeeper shrank and hurriedly gave up his hand: "Forgive me, I don't know if the little one is clear, I just see that the son loves the girl very much, and he became the lady who just passed the door." ”

Han Shuang closed her eyes and asked coldly, "Bought a lot?" ”

"Yes, the silver ticket is still here." The shopkeeper hurriedly spread his hands to show her.

After glancing at it, Han Shuang was in a very bad mood, and she turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly she was stunned.

She turned her head and looked carefully at the secret deposit and watermark on the ticket, and her face changed suddenly.

"Did the third prince give it to you, or did the girl next to him give it to you?"

The shopkeeper didn't know why she suddenly asked this, but he still answered truthfully: "The girl next to the third prince gave it." ”

Nodding, Han Shuang took Beizhi's hand and returned to the carriage.

"Miss." Bei Zhi was still a little angry, "The third prince has not been so kind to others, we can't sit still." ”

Han Shuang was thoughtful.

The curtain fell, and the carriage swayed in the direction of the Forbidden Palace, its wheels making long prints on the ground, twisting and twisting.

Hua Yue followed Li Jingyun into the gate of the General's Mansion, and as soon as she changed her clothes in the East Courtyard, she received something from the Baolai Pavilion. She carefully took stock and packed up, took a few boxes and was about to go out.

"Hey." Li Jingyun was very dissatisfied, "Are you dead?" ”

The raised embroidered shoes froze in mid-air, and Hua Yue explained with a smile: "The concubine is going to the main courtyard." ”

"Then you should also say a few words to your grandfather." He furrowed his eyebrows and folded his arms in disgust.

In the mood of coaxing the child, she turned around, bent her knees at him with a smile and asked, "The concubine is going out, does the son want to go with him?" ”

"Okay." He replied calmly.

"......" Kazuki looked at him with wide eyes.

The man got up and walked towards her, and as soon as he raised his hand, he hugged the box in her arms, and then urged her impatiently: "If you want to go, hurry up, and you can still have a meal." ”

"You." She was overjoyed, her eyes full of little stars, "Would you like to go and see Madame?" ”

A trace of awkwardness crossed Junlang's face, Li Jingyun snorted, and walked out without looking back: "The compensation that the master gave you." ”

Hua Yue didn't want to ask him what he wanted to compensate, whatever she wanted, she followed with her skirt, and the smile on her face couldn't be stopped: "Master, be careful of your feet, it's a bit heavy to hold so much in your hands, right?" The concubine will help you get it. ”

"No, I'll leave it to Hachito later."

"Do you want to change your clothes again? The concubine will find you that set of blue carp snow brocade robes, okay? ”

The robe had already been taken to wipe her hair, Li Jingyun felt funny in her heart, but she had no expression on her face, and only shook her head: "No need." ”

Hua Yue was overwhelmed with joy, and walked back and forth around him like Wangfu, almost wagging her tail at him.

Handing the box to Badou who came over, Li Jingyun rubbed his knuckles as if unintentionally, and there was a bit of pain between his eyebrows.

The person next to him reacted very quickly this time, and his white and tender little paws were immediately wrapped, pinching the place he had just rubbed and pressing carefully, and asked him softly, "Is it uncomfortable here?" ”

"Hmm." He nodded.

So she held his hand and kneaded and massaged it all the way, and the warm fingertips covered his fingers and never let go.

Li Jingyun didn't start, and in a place she couldn't see, her eyes were full of smiles.

When she came back, Hua Yue thought that Childe would not go to the main courtyard, so she didn't let anyone else deliver a message to the main courtyard, and now the two of them went together, but they could surprise Mrs.

That's what she thought.

However, as soon as she stepped into the main courtyard, she heard the general's cold voice from the main house: "Don't worry about it. ”

"You live in this backyard, with fine clothes and food, a group of slaves, you can have whatever you want, and nothing else has anything to do with you."

"You can't help if you want to, so why bother."

With a tight heart, Hua Yue let go of Li Jingyun and walked in quickly with broken steps.

Zhuang has always been soft-spoken, and when he got closer, he could hear her speak: "I don't want anything now, I just want Jing Yun to be safe." ”

"He's safe, and if I'm gone, he'll be fine."

"Master......" Zhuang was a little choked.

Hua Yue was anxious and worried when she heard this, but with her identity, she didn't dare to rush the door, so she could only stand at the door and stare dryly.

However, as she was staring, a hand suddenly reached out from her ear, crossed her shoulder, and gently pushed towards the door.

"Squeak-" The light from outside entered the door, kicking up some fine dust.

The two people who were arguing in the room suddenly stopped, and turned their heads to look at the door together. Zhuang's eyes were not good, and he could only see two shadowy people walking in the bright light, but General Li could see Li Jingyun's eyes looking at him when he raised his eyes.

Deserted and unfamiliar.

It's exactly the same as the way he looked at Zhuang's.

Inexplicably, Li Shoutian actually smiled, he stared at this face that was six points like himself, as if he was happy and sad: "It really deserves to be my own son." ”

"Jing Yun?" As soon as Zhuang heard this, he stood up and groped his hands forward, "Is Jing Yun here?" ”

Hua Yue hurriedly went up to support her, and said softly with a smile: "Madam, it's Childe who is here, Childe has just returned from spring hunting, and he has come to say hello to you." ”

With slightly wet eyes, Zhuang patted her hand with satisfaction, and then asked him with a trembling throat, "Is spring hunting fun?" ”

Back to my mother, very good.

- He would always answer her like this, Zhuang was used to it, but she still wanted to hear her child's voice more.

"Back to Mother." Li Jingyun spoke, her voice calm, "This year, the ice on the mountain melted late, and there were not as many prey as in previous years, but there were many people who went, and it was interesting." The son brought back a fawn, it was white, and Hua Yue liked it, and wanted to keep it in the yard, so he asked his mother to agree. ”
