Chapter 80: Lingering Compassion
Today is August 15, the day of the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The guards of Maicheng prepared a banquet, leaving Qiu Chu Lin and Lime to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival here.
The guards of Maicheng are all old acquaintances, and Qiu Chulin may not have been able to get together with them for a long time, so there is naturally no reason to refuse this time.
Drinking and chatting with his brothers who were born and died in the past, Qiu Chulin was in a very good mood today, and couldn't help but drink a few more glasses.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone took turns to toast the lime with the flask as if they had discussed it.
Lime shouldn't have been drinking, but the guards in Maicheng were too enthusiastic, and Qiu Chulin blocked one round for her and then another round. After a few rounds, Rao is Qiu Chulin drank an amazing amount of alcohol, and he was also slightly drunk.
At this moment, Yuan Cheng carried the wine jar and changed a big bowl to her.
Lime knew that she couldn't hide today, so she pressed Qiu Chulin's subconscious action of blocking the wine for her, found a big bowl on the table, picked up the wine jar behind Qiu Chulin and poured it full, got up and raised the big bowl in his hand, and said loudly, "The generals are arrogant, and the lime admires, but the lime is really not strong enough to drink with the generals. ”
After Lime finished speaking, he brought the big bowl to his mouth, and before Qiu Chulin could stop it, he drank the entire bowl of wine in one go.
"Good! Hahaha...... Madame refreshed! Yuan Cheng and everyone present applauded loudly, and then poured their own full and returned the lime.
Qiu Chulin hurriedly got up and hugged Lime's slightly swaying body, Lime raised his hand and wiped the corner of his lips with his sleeve, and responded to give Qiu Chulin a slightly coquettish smile.
Qiu Chulin knew that this bowl of wine must have drunk her.
He began to regret that he hadn't stopped her.
Lime leaned on Qiu Chulin and sat down, she was a little unsteady, she really didn't expect her alcohol to be so bad.
Is this really the self who can use the Yuangu Cellar to drink the senior brother down and be on par with the master?
Lime couldn't figure it out, because she was a little dizzy at the moment, and her world had begun to spin, fortunately Qiu Chulin's arm had been wrapped around her waist, otherwise she would really have to get under the table.
Qiu Chulin circled her with his right hand, and didn't forget to stretch out his arm to make vegetables for her, "Ning'er, you eat some vegetables and suppress the wine." ”
Qiu Chulin's words came into her ears, like a fresh breeze, leaving nothing.
She slowly turned her head to look at him, her eyes were a little straight, she thought about it for a long time, and turned that sentence in her mind a few times before she understood what he meant.
Lime picked up the chopsticks to pick up the dish that Qiu Chulin had laid for her, I don't know if the chopsticks were too slippery or the meat was too heavy, Lime just picked it up and took it off.
The piece of meat fell on the table, knocking over the teacup she had been drinking from, and the rest of the tea was spilled on Lime's shirt along with the tea leaves.
At this moment, Lime didn't seem to understand what was happening, she lowered her head to look at her clothes, and forgot that she still had chopsticks in her hand, and as soon as the strength of her hand was loosened, the chopsticks slipped from the tiger's mouth and fell to the ground crackling.
While she was laboriously researching what was going on, her world was turned around by a pair of big hands.
Qiu Chulin carried her over and placed her on his lap, his left arm protected her, and his right hand took the big bowl she had used just now, and motioned to General Xiaorui, who was sitting beside him, to fill it for him, "Everyone, Neiko told you to get drunk, I have to send her back to rest, you continue, forgive me for not being able to accompany him to the end today." ”
"General, please take care of yourself!" Yuan Cheng raised his eyebrows, and a malicious smile appeared on his face.
This time, the general will have to thank him for his careful arrangement.
Qiu Chulin drank the bowl of "reparation" wine, got up with the lime in his arms, and did not order anyone to call the carriage back to the pavilion, and went straight back to the room where she lived when she was stationed in Maicheng.
This group of people had no intention of letting him return to the pavilion soberly, so they must have prepared a place for him to live here.
The room was spotless, not only the furnishings had not changed, but even the tea on the table was warm.
Qiu Chulin came straight to the tea table with the lime in his arms, placed her on his lap like a genius, poured a cup of tea, and brought it to her lips, "Ling'er, drink water." ”
She looked at him with a pair of eyes, blinking and blinking, as if she understood what he meant.
Qiu Chulin sighed lightly and brought the water to her mouth, Lime was still staring at him intently, but fortunately, when the water was delivered to her lips, she could still subconsciously open her mouth and be fed and drank two sips.
The tea flowed through her throat, and Lime only felt indescribably comfortable, so she unconsciously pursed her lips.
What's worse is that she is staring at Qiu Chulin's face at the moment, blinking her increasingly heavy eyes over and over again.
The amount of these drinks was just right, not a little more to make her directly drunk and unconscious, and not a little less to keep her conscious, but it made her half unconscious, sluggish like a half-year-old child.
Gentle in his arms, he is still his beloved wife.
Qiu Chulin's Adam's apple moved.
"Lemon, hold me." Qiu Chulin looked at her, his eyes were full of emotion, and his voice was hoarse.
Lime tilted her head and thought for a moment, then obediently wrapped her hands around his neck, and leaned much closer to him.
"Ling'er, kiss me." Qiu Chulin held her waist, for fear that she would lose her balance and fall to the ground.
Lime blinked and obediently offered her lips.
Lime's body was already weak and weak, coupled with her dizzy head, she lost her balance for a while when she sent the kiss up, and fell into Qiu Chulin's arms, and her kiss was "smashing" on Qiu Chulin's cheek.
Then she didn't get up, and pillowed Qiu Chulin's shoulder along the way, and lay on his body by the way.
Her warm breath spread unevenly around his neck, and her lips brushed against his skin.
Qiu Chulin felt that he was going crazy.
He lifted her up by the waist and strode to the bed, his movements no longer as gentle as usual, even a little rough.
Qiu Chulin put the lime flat on the bed, and then pressed it up, he looked at her picturesque eyebrows, slightly open red lips, and his breathing became more and more rapid.
Lime looked at him puzzled, and after a moment, she laughed stupidly.
Her arms were still wrapped around his neck.
He pressed the force of his neck with the force of his neck, and applied her softness that haunted him.
Her lips were softer than he had imagined.
He kissed her softly, savoring her softness, and gradually, he began to be dissatisfied with the kiss that stopped at the lip flap.
He kissed her eyes and whispered, "Lemon, close your eyes." ”
Lime didn't open her eyes again.
He then reattached her lip flap and pried open her teeth to begin his assault.
He chased after her tongue and patiently guided her to kiss him back.
The heavy smell of wine in his mouth made her a little drunk, and she was finally unwilling to passively chase, resisted, and kissed back awkwardly, entangled with him.
When a man is emotionally attached to the woman he loves, he has no teacher.
When he let go of her, her lips had been kissed by him as round as beads, and she had already exhausted her strength in the competition with him, and fell asleep peacefully.
Even if the emotion came to this, he didn't do anything beyond the norm.
He rolled over and lay down beside her, taking her into his arms as he had done before.
Tomorrow morning, will you remember the lingering kiss tonight?
There was a slump outside the door, Qiu Chulin raised his hand and tore off a pearl hanging on the tassel of the bed curtain, and bounced it out with his fingertips.
The pearl pierced the shade of the candle lamp on the table, extinguished the candle flame, and came out of the window, almost hitting the eyelids of the outsider.
After half an hour, it was as quiet as ever.
These people don't know how to listen to the corners.
But for the sake of the kiss that was accidentally stolen tonight, he was also generous and did not pursue it.
Lime didn't dream that night and slept soundly.
Perhaps because of last night's drinking, Lime had forgotten all about what had happened after the feast.
woke up in Qiu Chulin's arms as usual, and met his sleepy eyes as usual, but today, the things in those eyes seemed to be a little different from the past.
After bidding farewell to the guards of Maicheng, Qiu Chulin and his party set off.
After a few more days, before the halfway point of the journey, the soldiers of the general's mansion who came here from Chu'an City to receive their relatives were ushered in.
As soon as Qiu Xiyang arrived, Qiu Chulin immediately handed over all affairs to him, got into the carriage of lime with peace of mind, and became the shopkeeper.
As soon as the soldiers arrived, Lime finally remembered that she hadn't paid attention to Shuo Chu's situation for a long time, and she didn't know what kind of situation it had developed now, so she asked Qiu Chulin.
"I vaguely remember that when you came to Jinnan to look for me at the beginning of the year, you mentioned that the emperor had died, and I went back to Suyan for so long, but I didn't hear about the new emperor of Shuochu ascending the throne, I don't know how the regent solved this matter?" The weather has been slightly cool these days, and the lime is being wrapped in a quilt by Qiu Chulin, swaying with the carriage, like a meat ball.
In the past, Lime always called Shuo Chu's regent by his name, but now that she is married to Qiu Chulin, she is already Yan Qiyang's nominal daughter-in-law, so no matter how unwilling she is in her heart, she can no longer ignore the etiquette and make it difficult for Qiu Chulin.
"I originally planned to announce the death of Hongxia Zuofeng to the world when Hongxia Yike returned to Shuochu, control Hongxia Yike, and help the Nine Emperors succeed to the throne. But you leaked the news in the prince's mansion, which aroused the suspicion of Hongxia Yike, and this plan could no longer be implemented. Qiu Chulin leaned on the carriage as usual, a little lazy.
"And then?" Lime pursed her lips and betrayed her own weakness.
"Fortunately, my father-in-law kept a hand, and many years ago, he sent his subordinates who were proficient in the art of disguise into the palace to observe Hongxia Zuofeng's words and deeds, in case of emergency. After so many years, the shadow has already imitated Hongxia Zuofeng so much that he can't even recognize his own son. Qiu Chulin said.
"So you sent someone to pretend to be the emperor?" Lime was surprised.
"When the time comes, the emperor will die." Qiu Chulin said, pulling the corner of the lime's quilt.
"When is the right time?" Lime leaned over to Qiu Chulin's side knowingly, and gave him a corner of the quilt.
"Wait until we get back from Tianchi." Qiu Chulin took the quilt corner handed over by the lime, wrapped the lime again, and then hugged the lime as a whole and pressed it in his arms.
Lime stuck out her tongue secretly, and it turned out that she would be wrong, "Aren't you cold?" ”
"It's not cold to hold you." Qiu Chulin looked at her distressedly, but there was nothing abnormal in his voice.
Her body was getting worse every day, and he had to speed up.
