Night at Aokien (Part II)

Yu Ling began to follow her when Yushu went out. Jade Spirit, like Jade Book, was sent to the old lady to work at a very young age. She was the most martial artist among the big girls back then, and she was the most stable and shrewd, and there were few who were not married. She had a relationship between the two young people back then, and later found out that the other party's various bad deeds were entrusted to no one, so she made up her mind to wait for the old lady for life. Soon after the young lord arrived in Jiangnan, she and Yuqin were sent to the capital to take care of the young lady. Although the young master's command was to take care of her, the old master's order she received was to examine her.

During this past time, she had witnessed the woman's manipulation, busyness, and occasional tears of solitude at dusk and sunset. Yu Ling also followed her in and out of the Hundred Flowers Hall, doing her best to save those orphans and widows. In her eyes, this is a beautiful, kind, intelligent, capable and gentle woman. After Lan Xin was poisoned, she silently stood by her side, watching her pain, her struggle, and the fierceness with which she bled by piercing her own arm with a hairpin. She was determined to protect the woman.

The experience and knowledge of growing up in Yumen since she was a child made her have more profound thoughts about many things than ordinary maids, and she is more alert than ordinary girls, so she can feel that although the young master has returned now and is always by her side, there are more dangerous things that may still be waiting for this woman. She needs to watch out for her at every turn, to protect her hostess. She found that Yushu has been very strange lately, always peeping into the private lives of the young master and the young lady, why?

The new man in the house woke him up by a strange noise in the trees outside the wall. He opened his eyes and saw his wife, who was silently looking at him, and there was a kind of surprise in her eyes, and it was obvious that she had been looking at him like this for a long time, and she hadn't slept all the time, what was she thinking? When he was sure that the people in the trees outside had left, he took his wife in his arms: "Why haven't you slept yet?" ”

"I can't sleep, I just want to see you." After saying that, Lian'er leaned her body closer to him. He liked the action, and it was evident that his wife had a strong attachment to him. It's a really good feeling. In fact, he has been in a state of panic for the past few days. He doesn't care so much about the enemies outside or the conspiracy that there may be, after all, it's a matter of seeing the trick and dismantling it. After so many years of experience in the rivers and lakes, he will no longer be nervous about these things. Instead, he was worried about his wife in his arms, and he was worried that maybe one day he would lose her completely. Maybe she won't leave, and she'll be in Hyakkado or Aokisha, but what he fears most is the departure of her heart.

He knew the damage that the separation had done to Lian'er because of the time he had been in Jiangnan. The unhealed wound on his wife's left arm pained him. In her most difficult time, she would rather choose to cut and prick her flesh with a knife and needle, rather than ask her closest husband for help. This was what he was most worried about when he received the letter from Jiangnan and rushed all the way back. He would rather that when he returned, he would not care who she was with to solve her physical pain, as long as it was spiritually and belonging to each other. But it was the other way around, she kept her innocence, but psychologically abandoned her attachment to him in this matter. This is what he fears the most.

Since he was a child, he has been lonely, and since he stayed in the Tianxiang Building in Xianyang City on the day he married Lan Xin, he has always regarded * as entertainment as drinking, a kind of man's indulgence that Stone is accustomed to. It wasn't until he found out that he was in love with Lian'er that he truly realized that women, especially the women he loved, were actually the storage stations of his soul. Lian'er captured him with her gentleness, tolerance and wisdom, and let him be wrapped in the fence where she had stood with her heart, enjoying the warm sunshine, which made him very greedy for it. For the first time, he truly understood the life-and-death relationship between his aunt and uncle.

In the eyes of outsiders, Lian'er is beautiful and capable, and even sometimes very spicy. Only he knows that beneath these hard surfaces, Lian'er has the most tender and fragile heart in the world. She can walk outside and do things, and she keeps Baihuatang and Aoki Society in good order. But when it was only the two of them, she was like her delicate rose petals, lying quietly in her hands, in need of his care and love.

Although he still saw love in her obsessive eyes on the night he came back from Jiangnan, her insistence on not begging him to come back and not informing him of her own poisoning showed that her heart had distanced herself from him. This is unacceptable to him. He's going to pull her back and cling to her.

He was happy tonight, and after all that had happened, she must have been tired, and had become a rare emotion, and had come to him to beg for warmth. He seemed to have gone back in time, back to Xianyang City, when she was quite frightened to avoid the goose that ran out of the roadside tea shop, clinging to him. It's great for him to get back that feeling of being dependent on her. Just now, when he gave her a warm embrace, he poured his whole heart into her again.

In his life, since Lan Xin came, he has had countless women, many of them are courtesans or dancing girls, and there are also noble girls who have been sent to the door and taken the initiative to post upside down. He had only carnal pleasures with them. I can't remember most of them. What he remembered most clearly was the red peony in Xianyang City, which was the first woman in his life. Out of anger and helplessness, he fled to Tianxianglou on the day he married Lan Xin. He drank too much there, and when he woke up the next day, he saw the red peony lying beside him. He had that first time in a daze. Then there's the color sleeves and flower dew. Both of these are famous geisha in the capital, sought after by countless princes and nobles. It was these two women who taught him what to do and what to give her if he loved her, and how to talk to her if he loved her.

In the past, he and these women, often after a party with friends, mingled with them at the right time, and each time it gave him physical satisfaction. Or is the cultivation of internal strength, when he is too troublesome and tired to resolve it by himself, he finds a yin object to release himself. At first, he only cared about himself every time, and when it was over, he ended it, and when he turned to leave, sometimes he forgot what the woman looked like in an instant. But Sleeves and Flower Dew are different from other women, they don't just want benefactors, he knows that they really love him. But he didn't love them. He didn't want to hurt them, so he cared about them like a friend. When he was in bed, he tried to meet all the requests. So he quickly learned how to really make women comfortable and crazy. After socializing with them like friends, he also learned how women need to be loved. Both of them are good girls, but he really can't find a reason to be tempted, and it wasn't until he met Lian'er that he really understood what his aunt said before, the connection of hearts and minds, mutual attachment.

At this moment, he just wanted to bury himself deep in her warm sunshine and watch her happy smile. He wants to shield her from the wind and rain outside, so that the sun will last forever warm and bright. The two hugged each other sweetly, allowing each other's breath to entangle, seep into each other, and gradually fall asleep in the quiet night.

At the same time, several women in the prince's mansion stayed awake all night. Since the day before yesterday, the emperor suddenly decreed that Yuwen Yunya should be crowned as the crown prince's concubine, Concubine Yan felt that she had become a joke in the prince's mansion. For so many years, she has been playing the prince's favorite woman in the prince's mansion, managing the prince's mansion up and down, although she has no family to rely on, but she gave birth to the eldest son for the prince. And the prince has stayed with her the most times over the years.

When Yuwen Yunya had just entered the Prince's Mansion, she was also nervous for a few days, after all, the status of the Yuwen family in the imperial court was not ordinary. However, she soon found out that Miss Yuwen was only a side concubine, and she only stayed in her own courtyard, and did not come out much, and did not seem to care about the rights and interests in the prince's mansion. The prince did not get very close to her except on the day of marriage, and went to her room once or twice a month, and gradually she forgot the threat brought by this woman.

However, to say that she is a threat is real, but this woman pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, and has been quiet for months, and now she is gradually showing her teeth. First of all, he straightened up, and today he went to the princess's birthday banquet with Yiyi as a concubine, and these social occasions that should have appeared on the side of Concubine Yan were only Yuwen Yunya who went out today. And this woman actually went to talk to the third young grandmother of the Tang family for a long time, That is another bargaining chip that the people in the house are afraid of Concubine Yan recently, everyone knows that she grew up with Concubine Yan in front of the Queen Mother, and the friendship is not ordinary, However, this woman actually acted such a scene today, as if she was showing outsiders that she could also get close to the third young grandmother of the Tang family and get close to the Tang Sect and get the support of the Tang Sect.

However, what is even more odious is that I don't know what ecstasy soup she has poured into the prince these days, since the holy decree of the concubine, Yiyi has stayed with her for the past few days. Coming back from the birthday banquet today, Yiyi was slightly drunk, and habitually came to her Yan Concubine's garden, dismissed all the subordinates, and asked her to pretend to be that person, and he happily released it. She thought that she could return to the state of being favored in the past, but after Yiyi cleaned and rested here, she sat quietly for a while, but got up and went to Yuwen Yunya, which made Concubine Yan how to gain a foothold in the noblewoman's circle and the prince's mansion in the capital in the future?

Looking at the traces all over her body, Concubine Yan gritted her teeth tightly, picked up a silk scarf and tore it fiercely: "You stupid woman, has your charm decreased in his eyes?" You were actually surpassed by that woman Yuwen Yunya?! Look, your myth is going to be shattered. Let's see what I can do to help you..."
