Li Mingyan stood beside the bronze mirror and stretched out her jade-like hand to take off the silk dress on her body bit by bit. Her silk undergarments were exposed. The collar was crossed downwards, revealing her fair and delicate chest and neck. She raised her arm and flicked her fingers. The wooden hairpin was taken down, and her long black hair fell over her chest and back. A few strands of mischievous hair fell messily beside her ears, adding a hint of laziness to her demeanor. She was as delicate as a sleeping canna.
This was what Little Jing 'er saw when she walked in. Little Jing 'er was twenty years old this year. It could be said that she had grown up with the young miss. Looking at the young miss was like looking at her own sister. However, this "sister" was becoming more and more incomprehensible year after year. Her appearance was becoming more and more beautiful. This was what outsiders could see, but Little Jing 'er knew that the most beautiful part of Miss was still that tender and delicate body, smooth and fair, warm to the touch. If one's appearance was ten points, they would be able to topple a country and its people without taking off their clothes. Her thoughts were getting bigger and more complicated. All she could do was listen and be loyal. If one day…she died in her place, it would be considered as returning the favor she had done for her for so many years. Little Jing 'er sighed slightly and walked over slowly. She reached out and took the ivory comb from Li Mingyan's hands. She straightened the young lady's hair bit by bit."Miss, Little Han 'er is here."
Li Mingyan's delicate face was reflected in the bronze mirror. Under the candlelight, she looked even more beautiful. However, the corners of her mouth curled up, her eyebrows raised, and a strange look flashed across her eyes.
A maid in yellow walked in and knelt in front of Li Mingyan. Her voice was clear and crisp."Miss."
At the same time, Madam Nalan lay in her husband's arms, but she did not have the comfort and sweetness of the past. He felt a small stone in his heart. It wasn't very painful, but it was very uncomfortable. She knew that she was wrong. It was normal for a husband to marry a concubine. After so many years, she thought that she could face it calmly. However, once that woman entered the house, her husband would feel a little pity for her, and she would feel so sad that she could not bear it. Feeling frustrated, she unconsciously got up.
General Nalan had always been a light sleeper. Being able to wake up at the first moment was a habit he had developed in the army. Nothing could escape his eyes, let alone his wife flipping around in his arms.
Finally, when Madam Nalan flipped her seventh body, Nalan Jinghe felt that he needed to stop her. He stretched out his other hand to hold his wife in his arms." Jin 'er, what's wrong?"”
It was now past midnight, and the night was dark and scary. Madam Nalan buried her small face in her husband's embrace, and the tip of her nose was sweating. She felt as embarrassed as a child who had been caught by an adult for doing something bad. Most of the annoyance from before had disappeared. She didn't make a sound and raised her head slightly to look at her husband.
General Nalan lowered his head to look at his wife's face. He saw that his wife was waiting for him with a pair of misty eyes, looking like a child. Her delicate facial features appeared even more three-dimensional in the night, and her long shadows were mesmerizing. General Nalan did not realize that his words had caused his wife to be unable to sleep at night. At this moment, his mind was in a mess. All he could think of was his wife leaning against him gently. She was sweating, but it was filled with a strong fragrance.
Madam Nalan's mind was in a mess, and her mind was in a mess. In her panic, she only wanted to do something to prove that this man was still hers. She raised her head and kissed her husband's chin. This was the first time she took the initiative to kiss him since they got married. Her face was so red that it was about to drip blood. Fortunately, the night covered it. Madam Nalan mustered her courage and stretched out her thin arm to hold her husband's head. Then, she kissed the corner of his firm lips.
With a bang, his rationality was on fire. Nalan Jinghe's iron arms tightened, his large hand sliding into his wife's lapel. He gently kissed his wife's soft and delicate body. It swept away all the good things. This general who treated people with a slight indifference seemed to have returned to the battlefield at this time. He looked down at them with disdain and was extremely domineering.
In her husband's passionate embrace, Madam Nalan finally shed a tear. This lingering love was no longer hers alone. Hence, she gave herself up even more resolutely and clung onto him.
The candle tears dried on the wax platform. The night was still very long.
The next evening, Qingyun Building.
"Master, why did you stop?”Young Master Qingyun, who had made all the girls in Quiet Lotus City miss him so much, was sitting on the carved railing on the seventh floor of the Clear Cloud Tower. He looked at the little girl who was playing the zither in front of him with dissatisfaction. He did not care if she liked it or not. He had to ask her clearly." I was having fun. It was not easy for the mole to set up a line. Once I give the order, Li Jie's family business will be reduced by more than half." After thinking for a while, he said," I guess he will only have one or two shops left."”
"The Li family is facing the death of an elder.”The girl in white who was adjusting the strings was Qing Huan. Qing Huan stopped and looked up at Qing Yun." I'm already miserable enough." Why don't you have any sympathy at all?”
"Sympathy? It was unknown who said that it was useless to be soft-hearted.”Qingyun looked at her from the corner of his eyes. He was very disdainful of her words at this moment.
" Uh…" Qing Huan was speechless. When she first met Qingyun, this child was too innocent and kind. She even put in a lot of effort to cultivate his wisdom. Now it seemed that she had overcorrected him.
Qing Huan thought about it and explained.
"I don't want to alert her and let her realize that there are other forces threatening her. Li Mingyan was indeed a rare intelligent woman. I want to play for a few more days. Besides…"
"What?"
How could father not have a clear heart for mother? The love between husband and wife was not enough. Qing Huan thought silently. Of course, he couldn't say that, so he said perfunctorily,""It's nothing."
"Master." Qingyun's eyes widened as if he had been wronged. His handsome features were scrunched together.
"You, sigh. Do you think I'm raising a snake? Then let me tell you, I'm raising snakes.”Qing Huan interrupted Qingyun, who was hesitating to speak, and continued," But, I raised the snake so that it could help me catch a few rabbits and get some unexpected gains. He wouldn't raise them for nothing. Could a small earthworm turn the sky upside down?”Qing Huan rolled her eyes helplessly.
" Master…" Qingyun could not continue asking. Master had told him that he was too stupid to understand. So sad.
"Master, dinner is ready. Do you want to eat it now?”Qing Ye walked in quietly.
"Alright." Qing Huan let out a long breath and put down the zither in her hand. She got up and followed Qing Ye out. In fact, how could her heart be at ease? This move, if one was not careful, the entire game would be lost. Father, you must not disappoint Huan 'er.
It was just dusk, and General Nalan had just returned to the residence after court. The servant took the general's horse and led it to the backyard to take care of it.
General Nalan strode into the mansion without changing his clothes and went straight to Jing Hua Garden. Last night was too intense. He didn't know if he would hurt his wife. His face turned red, but his footsteps slowed down. He had been away for a long time in the early years and married a wife. However, he was grateful that she had given birth to children and kept the family business for him. He respected her a little more. In addition, he felt a little guilty in his heart, so he never agreed to marry a concubine. However, in recent years, the border had been stable. He had been at home all year round and spent more time with his wife. As a result, this gentle, dignified, and good-looking woman in his impression began to come alive. She would giggle when she was happy, but when she was sad, she would not cry out loud. Instead, she would keep crying. Sometimes, she would be naughty, passionate, and shy. Most of the time, he would look at her quietly and gently.
She was not afraid of the terrifying scars on her body. Instead, she had to use her soft cheeks to rub against it. His expression was filled with heartache. She didn't mind being sore and smelly after a day of military training. Instead, he personally served her and even washed her feet. He even specially added some herbs to relieve his fatigue.
Occasionally, a few children from the army would come over, and he was afraid that they would be too jumpy and scare his wife. However, she was very gentle as she served the dessert. She made those naughty monkeys behave like docile deer in front of her.
Since when did he start to have such gentle feelings for his wife?
Where was his wife?
When he thought of this, he thought of the young girl who had married him. She sat there softly like a frightened deer. He would only call out to himself,"General, husband."”
"Husband."
General Nalan raised his head and saw his wife standing at the entrance and looking at him. Thus, he straightened his spirits and took a step forward naturally, holding his wife's hand as they walked into the house. However, he saw his wife's shy expression. Weren't they very close these days? Why did she suddenly become shy?
"Father, why are you standing at the door with mother?”Qing Huan asked with her head tilted.
Only then did General Nalan see his son and daughter sitting at the table and eating. A table full of exquisite dishes.
"My husband hasn't been eating at home these few days, so Qinghuan said that she bought some dishes from the Clear Cloud Brothel for a change of taste. Qinglang came back and said he was hungry, so we ate first. She had just started eating. Husband, come and have some. I'll ask the kitchen to make some.”Madam Nalan reached out to help her husband take the cloak and said gently.
"No need. Let's eat together." General Nalan laughed loudly. Why would he care about these things? The people in the army didn't care about those rules. After washing his hands, he pulled his wife to sit down and placed a spoonful of food on the plate in front of his wife."Madam, use more."
"Yes." Madam Nalan ate it with a smile. The family was harmonious. They were all smiling.
At the corner of the corridor, Li Mingyan gripped the food box in her hand tightly. Hatred flashed across his eyes. "Since elder sister and husband are having dinner, let's go back first."”Then, he brought Little Jing 'er back to the Plum Pavilion.
Granny Xue stood where she was and spat in the direction Li Mingyan left." Little vixen."”# Cancel review all: wdd201302 Time:111420185:56PM
