Chapter 19: Different
It was getting late, and the whole camp was lit with bonfires, but everyone was tired from the day's journey, and they all rested early, except for the patrol soldiers, few people walked around.
Miri washes Yonghyuk's used handkerchief in the stream next to the camp, and the starry sky in spring forms a brilliant dome on the vast plain, which is so beautiful that people sigh. Meili squatted on the stone by the stream, looking up at the Milky Way with no edge in sight, and was intoxicated.
"I've got it." Yonghyuk, who had been lighting a fire on the shore, shouted, and he erected a horizontal pole with two large branches and hoisted an iron pot, and the wormwood juice in it gradually thickened as the water temperature rose.
By the light of the fire, he could see the faint melancholy on her face, "What's wrong?" He approached her and gently put his arm around her shoulder.
Mei Li snuggled in his arms, looked at the deep starry sky and sighed, "Such a vast night sky, I ...... I really enjoyed watching it. It's much more beautiful than in the capital and the palace! ”
"That's not easy, in the future, as long as you want, I'll take you out of the city to see." Yonghyuk smiled and hugged her tightly.
Meili smiled and didn't answer, and ...... in the future There are fewer opportunities. She is determined to be a good wife, a good daughter-in-law, a good mother, morning and dusk, complicated family affairs, and going to the palace for entertainment, she may not have time to enjoy such a leisurely time.
"I heard Ama say that the emperor intends to let him go out as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and when the time comes, I will also ask the ancestor and the emperor to resign, and go to office with Amma, so ......" He rubbed the soft silk on the top of her head with his chin, and looked at the depths of the night sky with infinite yearning, "I can take you away from these annoying people and things in the capital, and live a leisurely life for a few years freely." Where you want to go, I will take you there, the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, the customs of Fujian and Zhejiang......"
She looked up at his handsome face in a daze, deeply intoxicated by the happy future he had lit up for her, and she stared at him gratefully, her eyes blurring...... He is the warm home she has been pursuing!
"Yonghyuk......" she called him obsessively, grateful, and tears of happiness slipped down.
"Why are you crying?" He let her lie in the crook of his arm, looking down at her pretty and moving face, and her beautiful eyes, which were originally holding the spring river and autumn moon, were covered with a layer of soft mist at this time, which made people feel even more pitiful and distressed. His throat moved slightly, and his lips had fallen on the clear pupils that had taken away his souls.
She...... It's so beautiful, it's so good! Whatever he asked him to trade her for, he would be willing! Life can too! Not to mention fame and fortune!
She snorted slightly, trembling at his kiss, but she didn't dodge, and raised her arms around his neck a little jerky but decisively.
He groaned, emotional, and carried her tumbling from the low cobblestone to the grass by the stream, and he wrapped his arms around her to protect her from the slightest injury.
"Miri......" He pressed her against the grass, but supported the weight of his body with his elbows, and he whispered her name like a sigh, his hot lips kissing her tender cherry red. She clenched her teeth jerkyly, he pampered and pity, let go of her little mouth that was already gasping for breath, he licked her delicate neck suddenly, she cried out in panic, he sucked her slightly open lips, and sent his affection into her delicate.
She trembled violently, and let out a moving moan under him, Yonghyuk felt the heat rising from his body rush into his head, he pulled her placket in a little panic, he wanted to be gentle with her, but his thirst for her was greater than anything else, he rubbed the softness and richness under her thin spring shirt, and she hummed a few times in panic, making him almost explode.
A sneer, like pouring water on the already red metal, boiling and extinguishing the fire that is about to melt. Yonghyuk's scalp exploded, and he quickly covered his clothes for Miri, who was already drowsy and trembling under him, and looked up at this unknown person in shame.
"Brother Jingxuan?" He frowned, and did not shy away from glaring back at Jing Xuan, who was looking at them with an expressionless face, but his eyes flashed dangerously under the night sky. He appeared around them...... The number of times Meili has been around him has been so many that he doubts.
"Here...... It was less than a few feet from the tent. He sneered, his tone grim and sarcastic, his eyes cruelly staring at her back to him in Yonghyuk's arms, but gradually stopped trembling her. You don't have a face, you don't want to die? He laughed, insulting more than loud and mean.
Yonghyuk looked at him for a moment, then let go of Miri and stood up, "What are you doing here?" ”
Jing Xuan was annoyed by his disrespectful tone, but he just squinted his eyes coldly, "You Ama is here, and I can't find you anywhere." ”
Yonghyuk frowned and said nothing, he could have sent someone to find such a trivial matter, but he ...... If it was really someone who came to see the scene just now...... He was reckless, and he pursed his lips in frustration. Pulling up Meili, he raised his voice softly, "Come with me to see Amma." ”
Miri nodded.
"Your Ama is now in the ancestor's tent with a large group of relatives and noble women, and after looking for you for a long time, you let her go with you to see them like this?" Jing Xuan sneered in a low voice, raised his chin angrily, and nodded at the disheveled beauty.
Yonghyuk was even more apologetic, he was careless again. Miri was seen with him...... She was the one who was hurt.
"You go first, and she'll be back later!" Jing Xuan ordered without refutation.
Yonghyuk still hesitated not to move, and Miri looked at him and shook her head and smiled, signaling that he didn't have to worry, and nudging him urgingly. There was really no other way, Yonghyuk frowned and walked quickly towards the camp.
When passing by Jing Xuan's side, Jing Xuan picked the corners of his mouth and snorted mockingly, "Take care of your thing, what's the hurry?" Should it be yours who are still afraid of flying? Don't hurt her! ”
Yonghyuk was stunned for a moment, and finally had a seizure, "Why are you talking about me?!" The one who is least qualified to accuse me is you! ”
Jing Xuan's face didn't change, but it was even more cold, "Really?" ”
"Yonghyuk, let's go." Meili had already straightened her clothes with her back to them, calmly putting the washed handkerchiefs into the already boiling wormwood juice one by one, and her calmness calmed the two men who were about to burst into flames. "Don't keep Amma waiting, I'll be back in a moment."
Yonghyuk smiled, glared at Jing Xuan, and walked away quickly.
Jing Xuan's face was finally full of anger, "Do you still want to be shameless?!" He scolded her without any scruples, and he was not afraid of hurting her. You haven't married him yet! He took a deep breath, afraid that he would say more vicious words, "How are you going to be so close to the camp and being seen?!" You're so short of men?! ”
Her shoulders shook slightly, and then she laughed, and she choked on his chest with all his rage.
"Lord Wang, you are really ridiculous."
"What?!" He was furious, took a few steps forward, and grabbed her up, the ridicule on her face that burned through his internal organs.
"He is the husband whom my ancestors pointed out to me, how does he want to ...... I'd love it all! She had no fear, he couldn't hurt her anymore, he couldn't hurt her anymore since he had crushed the last shred of her infatuation.
He grabbed her shoulder and shook her vigorously a few times, and she was almost vomiting by him, "Why are you like this!" Don't you care about anything but men? ”
She tried to calm her nausea, and he sneered, "Yes! I don't have much to care about except Yonghyuk. ”
It's ridiculous that he should question her about this! Did he ever think about her situation? Did he ever think of what kind of criticism and ridicule she would face?
In a word, pierced the weakness of his heart. He was stunned and relieved, "Meili...... Are you still blaming me? ”
She couldn't help but sneer and didn't look at him. Yes, he has this capital, thinking that women's hearts will always be on him, but it's a pity...... She's not.
"I've said it many times, Lord Wang, your wedding is coming, don't worry about the affairs between our husband and wife."
His expression became cruel again, and he let go of his hand, he glanced at her and sneered, "Husband and wife? You're pretty generous as you admit it. ”
She was free from his hands, and continued to stir the handkerchief in the grass juice with a wooden stick as if nothing had happened, and when it was cooked, she picked it out and put it in a clean little basin.
Jing Xuan looked at it silently, "Meili, why did you treat me like this?" If you had ...... me as you had done him," he did not want to say something that would make him feel humiliated, and paused, "how could I have abandoned you?" ”
She shook violently, the hot grass juice dripping on her hands, and she was so hot that she jumped.
"Be careful!" He snatched it impatiently, and threw away the handkerchief and stick from her hand. He took her hand, "Where's the burn?" ”
The pain was over, and she lowered her eyes and stiffly withdrew her hand from his.
"Lord, the ...... of the past It's all gone. ”
Maybe he was right, she couldn't get his love when she was ignorant, but ...... It doesn't make sense anymore, who is right and who is wrong, who owes whom, it doesn't make sense.
"Passed?" He sneered.
"Lord Wang, please go back. The current beauty of the glass and ...... Jing Xuan," she said his name abruptly, still making his heart shrink, "It's all different." ”
"Yes!" He snorted, well said, it's all different!
There was a slight rustling sound in the grass not far away, and Meili didn't notice it, but he drank alertly, "Who's there?!" ”
Meili was startled, and before she could react, Jing Xuan had already strode over, pulling out a shivering Jingxian in the grass.
"How long have you been here?!" He angrily grabbed Jingxian's neck, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out.
Meili was frightened by him, why was he so angry?
"I didn't ...... Didn't see anything...... I just came. Jingxian was so trembling that she couldn't stand.
Jing Xuan squinted his eyes and threw her on the grass, his face had calmed down, but his eyes were still full of forbearance and killing intent. "Oh? Really? ”
Jingxian was also frightened by his cruelty and nodded desperately.
"......What if," he smiled like a bloodthirsty demon, "I heard someone talk about tonight, Jingxian, I don't need your life, your Ama is already sick at home, if your brothers all go to the border to garrison, will your life be good?" ”
Jingxian was pale and couldn't speak.
Meili watched silently, he minded so much...... Was she afraid that Su Ying would know that he had said these things to her?
"If you owe your mouth and are troubled, you will always be unlucky!" He sneered and looked at Jingxian threateningly, "If I find out that you are still talking to her and fanning the flames behind her back, you are ready to go to Biansai with your brother to serve the country!" He glanced at Meili, his eyes complicated.
"Let's go!" He turned around and pulled Meili, who was silently thinking about her thoughts.
"My handkerchief." She wanted to break free of his grasp.
"You!" Jing Xuan couldn't bear to pinch her wrist, Meili was so painful that her tears were hazy but she refused to cry out in pain, and he could only let go.
Shaking her off, he doused the fire with a basin, glared at Jingxian, who was still lost and sitting on the grass, "Don't roll yet?!" ”
Jingxian shuddered for a moment, and ran back to the camp with a roll.
He picked up the small basin full of handkerchiefs and walked into the camp, Miri reached for it, and he thrust it into her hand in annoyance, so hard that it made her take two steps back.
"Are you going to just mess up the mess and let me clean it up?!" He said hatefully.
