Ye Qingyi sat down, and Shui Ningyan put the wine jar in his hand forward, his eyelashes blinked, and his eyes were bright, "Ye Qingyi, let's play the game of truth or dare while drinking." ”

"Truth or Dare?" Ye Qingyi wrinkled his good-looking eyebrows, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Truth or Dare, that is, everyone can take a sip of wine, you can ask the other person a question, and the other person must answer truthfully." Shui Ningyan raised his lips and patiently explained to Ye Qingyi, this is a drinking game invented by modern people, and people in this era don't understand normality.

"Yes. I'll drink first. After speaking, Ye Qingyi quickly pulled off the wine stopper, held up the jar and poured it violently, wiped the wine stains on his lower lips, and hesitated: "Do you have anyone you like in your heart?" ”

As soon as the words spoke, she was immediately shocked, she didn't expect the other party to throw such an abrupt question at the beginning. I don't want to delve into the other party's intentions, maybe she already knows it vaguely, but she doesn't want to think about how to face it.

"Yes." The gaze that was originally looking directly at Ye Qingyi moved to the river in the distance with some embarrassment, and Ye Qingyi's originally bright eyes dimmed.

"That's in the past, though." Shui Ningyan said with a slight sigh, and Situ Shaogong's shadow flashed in his mind in an instant, and he disappeared as soon as he appeared.

These days, she forced herself to stop thinking about this man, but the question of who thought about Ye Qingyi made her mind confused again.

Ye Qingyi's originally discouraged mood quickly brightened up again when he heard this. She means not anymore? Does that mean that he, a confidant, will one day become a husband?

Shui Ningyan took over the wine jar, looked at the other party lightly, and finally spit out the doubts in his heart, "Originally, you stayed well in the medicine house, why did you approach me as Ye Qingyi later?" "Ever since I knew that Ye Wuru was Ye Qingyi, this doubt has been bothering Shui Ningyan, and it is really unpleasant not to vomit.

"What if I say it's because I have a crush on you?" Ye Qingyi smiled faintly, that light smile was as elegant and fragrant as a blooming gardenia, which made people's hearts throb. The beautiful man smiled at the country, and the lethality was endless.

"Cough, cough ......" Shui Ningyan was pouring himself wine, and suddenly choked when he heard it, and his face was covered with suspicious clouds. This Ye Qingyi said it too directly. And after meeting a few times, I have a "good feeling", which is too fast. She didn't believe she was so attractive. What's more, she has heard that the medicine saint has lived in seclusion for many years, has a strange temperament, and does not like to associate with outsiders.

Ye Qingyi saw Shui Ningyan's embarrassed touch, and beat her back funny. The frightened water condensation opened his eyes, black, his eyelashes were moist, and they seemed to be stained with a faint mist, and he was as cute as a frightened deer.

Ye Qingyi couldn't help it, so she wanted to reach out and touch her slightly red cheeks. The free hand reached halfway, but felt a little presumptuous, so he stroked the corners of her forehead, pulled the broken hair of her temples, and a trace of burning flashed in her pure eyes.

Shui Ningyan suddenly felt that the atmosphere was too ambiguous, and hurriedly interrupted the strange appearance, "It's your turn." ”

"What kind of life do you aspire to?"

"No wind, no waves, no quarrel with the world."

"Where are you going this time?"

"Wandering around."

……

A jar of wine, the two of you come and go, and after drinking for almost two hours, even the water condensation smoke, which has always been a thousand glasses of water, feels dizzy. Then he leaned and tilted his head against Ye Qingyi's shoulder.

Ye Qingyi hesitated, stretched out his arm and gently hugged his soft and slender waist. He looked at her obsessively, her closed eyes, her eyelashes were long and thick like fan feathers, accompanied by shallow and even breathing, sometimes blinking gently. Pink cheeks with a faint glow. The small and delicate lips are delicate and tender like rose petals, shimmering with the luster of water, and the lips flutter from time to time in sleep, making people almost want to bite and taste it.

The dark jade-like pupils shone with a warm and soft light, quietly watching her sleeping face. This woman was very guarded, but now she did not set any precautions in front of him, and slept peacefully. Did she already see herself as different from other people in her heart? Thinking of this, the corners of his lips crossed a trace of happiness. The present world is stable, and the years are quiet. It would be nice if it went on like this.

So, he slowly lowered his head and lightly imprinted a kiss on her smooth and white head.

The water condensed in her sleep, feeling the elegant aroma of herbs lingering in her nose, and then she felt safe and warm in her arms at this moment. So she couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips and smile sincerely.

The next day, the weather was excellent. Shui Ningyan had just gotten up, Ruofeng ran to tell her that Ye Qingyi's painting boat was missing, and only left Shui Ningyan a letter, Shui Ningyan opened it, and only six words were written on the letterhead.

The water condensed and the smoke was relieved, as the so-called feast in the world was all gone, but the three Yahuans of Lime, Ruofeng, and He Shou sighed for a long time. After another day's journey, the next day, the watery painting boat anchored early, and soon arrived at the state of Nanyue.

The carriage drove gently down the wide streets, and the golden sunlight illuminated the magnificent saddles around the horses, which was unusually beautiful. Shui Ningyan chose the most comfortable position, lazily leaning on the soft brocade mat, Lime, He Shou, and Ruofeng sat next to her, and Ji Yu was catching the car outside. Now it has reached the border of South Vietnam.

The jade hand lifted the brocade curtain of the car window, and the water condensation smoke paid attention to the surrounding customs and customs, but saw that most of the people on the street were dressed in old and torn clothes, and there were many patches, and few of them were dressed decently.

Immediately, Shui Ningyan's heart moved, and he said to Ji Yu, who was driving: "Ji Yu, you go and ask the people here, what happened, it looks like there are refugees everywhere." ”

"Yes, master." Ji Yu parked the carriage safely on the side of the road, got out of the carriage and left, and returned a moment later to report to Shui Ningyan: "Master, this is the case, there is a drought in this area, the people are displaced, and I heard that almost every year there is a disaster here. ”

Shui Ningyan couldn't help but move in her heart, this is the border of Nanyue, presumably Nanyue must be affected a lot, and she instructed Ji Yu at the moment: "Okay, it's okay, you can catch the car." ”

"Yes, master."

The carriage drove steadily on the avenue, lying lazily on the soft pillow, thinking in her heart: when old friends meet, she should always give each other a big gift.

The remnant sun was as bright as brocade, the red glow spread all over the sky, and the nine-fold palace was immersed in a brilliant golden light.

Dongfang Lie stood with his hands in the depths of the carving gallery, his thick eyebrows furrowed. The guard who was waiting on the side carefully brought the tea cup, knelt on the ground, and held it to Dongfang Lie with both hands, but it didn't attract his attention.

Damn, the big wave of courtiers this morning forced him to stand up again. Those women in the harem are only worthy of being the tools he uses to warm the bed, how can they be the queen who appreciates the splendid rivers and mountains with him?

I unexpectedly remembered that woman's alluring face, clever and ruthless methods, and wise and intelligent thoughts...... The corners of his lips unconsciously hooked slightly.

It had been a long time since he had seen this woman, but he remembered everything about her clearly. In the next moment, thinking of the drought that gave him a headache, Dongfang Lie raised his eyebrows again, his eyes were dark and deep, and his sense of presence was so strong that the surroundings were a little darker.

This year's drought is worse than in previous years, and if the woman with a delicate heart is by her side, there must be a solution to the drought once and for all.

For a long time, Dongfang Lie sighed, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and the remnant sun dyed the palace walls red. In the evening breeze, a flock of pigeons hovers over the temple. Lowering his head, his faint eyes squinted over, and then he noticed Chai Xin kneeling on the ground with a tea cup, and waved his hand and said, "Get up." ”

Chai Xin has been kneeling with the emperor here for several hours, his hands have been sore, his legs have been numb, and at this moment, Dongfang Lie allowed him to get up, and he couldn't help but shout long live in his heart. Seeing that Dongfang Lie was about to take the tea cup in his hand, he hurriedly shouted: "The king's tea is cold, and his subordinates will pour it again for you." ”

"It doesn't matter." He took a sip and frowned. It was obviously a new tea that was paid tribute not long ago, but he felt a little dull when he entered it.

Suddenly, he remembered the plum tea that the woman had told him. He asked about the preparation method of plum dew tea, she said: pick the plum blossoms, only take the half-opened very tender, with a little black spots and yellow spots are not wanted, one by one pick clean, the party into the retort steaming, drop its dew, with a clean snow silk yarn filter, clear into plum dew, not mixed with half a drop of water, and finally put it into a white porcelain jar sealed, bury it under the plum tree and wait until the next spring to dig out and eat.

A smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her lips, and only she could think of such a tricky method. I just don't know if I will have the opportunity to drink the plum tea she brewed in this life?

casually handed the teacup to Chai Xin, and his eyebrows, which were finally soothed, were raised again.

He lowered his head and turned the jade wrench in his hand, which was the finest mutton fat jade, warm and shiny, and the white streamer rippled under the reflection of the light, like a hesitant thought. Not long ago, he heard a report from a spy that the relationship between the woman and Situ Shaogong had broken down, and they competed openly in Chongshan Academy, and finally won. Left the academy but disappeared.

Damn, if it weren't for the fact that he had been entangled in business lately, he would have secretly left the palace to find that woman.

That woman was so thoughtful and shrewd that she didn't know which man would be lucky enough to marry her in this life. For a moment, the Lone Emperor felt a sense of frustration that he had never felt before.

Seeing the lost look on his master's face, Chai Xin sighed secretly in his heart. Since his master regained the throne, he has been meditating for the most part, except for criticism. Whether he was standing, or looking at the railing, or closing his eyes and meditating, no one knew what he was thinking, and even if he had followed the king for many years, he could not guess. However, one thing he can be sure of is that the king's heart is inseparable from the woman who helped the king regain the throne.
