Eastward Flow

Chapter 78

It was late at night, a lamp hung in front of the carriage broke through the deep darkness, and drove straight through the alleys towards the deep palace.

In the swaying carriage, Zhong Lishuo sat beside Xuan Jingchen, looked at the woman's beautiful face through the light, and said with concern: "Why did your majesty come in person? There are so many things going on these days, so you should stay in the palace and have a good rest." of."

She looked at Xuan Jingchen with gentle eyes.She was naturally very happy when the queen came to pick her up, but running around like this was not what she wanted to see.

With a smile in his mouth, Xuan Jingchen glanced over Zhong Lisuo's blue Taoist robe, slowly raised his head, and stared at her slightly immature face with gentle eyes.

She stretched out a hand, and gently placed it in front of Zhong Lisuo's left lapel, rubbed the soft fabric with her fingertips, and said with a sigh: "Qingqing Zijin, take care of my heart."

Xuan Jingchen never thought that a person's feelings would last so long.

She had never wanted to see someone so strongly, even after Zhong lisuo left.Only now did she know that it was something she had never clearly owned before, and she also knew that she would never see it again.

Now that I lost it and found it again, I just tasted the taste of lovesickness.

She wanted to see Zhong lisuo.

I want to see her all the time.

I want to be with her like before, day and night.

Zhong Lisuo reached out, took Xuan Jingchen's hand on his left lapel, and pressed it to his cheek.She tilted her head, rubbed her cheek against Xuan Jingchen's soft palm, smiled and rolled her eyes in the yellowish light.

When she saw Xuan Jingchen, she understood what she was missing, and now hearing her say it, she still couldn't help but feel happy.

Seduced by the smile, Xuan Jingchen straightened up and took Zhong Lisuo into his arms.Zhong Lisuo leaned on her shoulders, looked up at Xuan Jingchen, and said: "Tomorrow, my father will present the paper, and ask me to be crowned prince for me. And after the imperial court, he will visit the Minister of Rites and ask him to be my matchmaker. "

"Your Majesty, are you still willing to marry me?"

Xuan Jingchen looked down at Zhong Lisuo's shining eyes, and said, "There is something I have always wanted to say to Your Highness. We Lanzhou people will only have one partner in our lifetime."

"Your Highness, life is my wife. Death is also my wife."

In life or death, you are mine.

Because she was already married, there was no room for change, and there was no need to change, so she kept silent.

You are mine and I am yours.Even if it is death, it will not change.

Zhong Lishuo's heart trembled, and he didn't know how to respond to the other party for a while, so he could only nestle in Xuan Jingchen's arms and look at the lamp, pursing his lips tightly.

But the reddish cheeks betrayed her. Prince Zhaoming, who seemed to have experienced countless ups and downs, was still as immature as a teenager in front of his sweetheart.

Xuan Jingchen looked at her until Zhong Lisuo couldn't bear the other's gaze, sighed helplessly and said, "Your Majesty, don't look at me like that, you will be red-faced, and your heart will be like a deer."

Xuan Jingchen bent his lips and smiled, put his hand on her blue skirt, and said softly: "Recently, there are many affairs in the government. If the Ministry of Rites wants to mention it, it will only be written after the results of the conspiracy. But this It's been too long and I can't wait."

"Your Highness, when I come to the court tomorrow, I will call the Minister of Rites to meet with your father. Would you like to talk to them in person?"

Xuan Jingchen knew that this should not be something that a noble girl from Yuanzhou should say implicitly.But she is not, she is a general from Lanzhou, she has always been straightforward.

What she wants, she will fight desperately to get it.

She likes Zhong Lisuo, so she should marry her after so long.

This matter should be brought up by her, so as to show her sincerity.

It is most suitable for her to do it.

Zhong Lisuo was stunned for a moment, and then heard Xuan Jingchen say to himself: "Even if it is settled, the Ministry of Rites will take at least three months to prepare many matters. Then the wedding will be in winter. Your Highness, I like it in winter." Are you married?"

"It's all right." Zhong Lisuo nodded, without any rebuttal.

But Xuan Jingchen thought about it, overturned his previous thoughts, and said, "It's a bit cold in winter, and the big wedding will take several days. Why don't we wait for the next spring to be warm? But the next spring will be warm, and it's been a while."

Xuan Jingchen was a little annoyed, why couldn't it be today or tomorrow?

Zhong Lisuo smiled when he heard the words, stretched out his hand to hold Xuan Jingchen, and called her, "Your Majesty..."

"Huh?" Xuan Jingchen responded, looking down at her.

Zhong Lisuo said: "If you want to see me, I will live in the palace until the wedding, how about it?"

Xuan Jingchen took her hand backhand, hesitated for a while, and then replied, "Okay."

The carriage drove into the brightly lit palace and stopped in front of the empty Qianyuan Hall.Xuan Jingchen got off the horse and led Zhong Lisuo towards the bedroom.

The waiters walked ahead with their lamps, and the breeze blew, shaking the ray of light into the distance.

Zhong Lisuo followed Xuan Jingchen through the palaces and corridors that she was already familiar with, her thoughts were peaceful.

Today, she can no longer remember how she felt when she walked through such a long palace corridor for the first time.

Those unbearable pasts and complicated emotions all disappeared because of the soft hand in the palm and the person who was by my side.There was only one brightly lit palace, leading them forward.

Chen Palace, this palace belonging to the emperor, she came back with Xuan Jingchen once.

In front of the splendid palace, the maids bowed and waited with lanterns in hand.They bowed their heads as if they didn't see Zhong Lisuo who was led by Xuan Jingchen.

It was late at night, and the maids had already prepared Xuan Jingchen's clothes and asked her to wash up.

The moon was almost full, Xuan Jingchen raised his eyes to look at the bright night sky, and led Zhongli to a side hall beside Shuo Chaochen Palace.

Passing through the promenade, the sound of running water rang in my ears.

There are many hot springs in Yuanzhou City, and there is a hot spring pool in the side hall next to Chen Palace.It was built by an emperor for his prince hundreds of years ago.This prince was Emperor Wenkang who later created the prosperity of Taiyuan, an emperor who created the prosperity with a broken body, but never married in his life.

The Zhongli family admired their ancestors, and because Emperor Wenkang loved hot springs, they never demolished the hot springs during several palace constructions.Therefore, it has been preserved to this day.

Zhong Lisuo followed Xuan Jingchen into the steamy hot spring hall, passed through the screen, and stood by the pool with her.

"Come with me?" Xuan Jingchen pushed back the maid, stood in front of Zhong Lisuo, and raised his hand to untie Zhong Lisuo's lapel.

Zhong Lisuo understood her meaning, stretched out his hand to block Xuan Jingchen's hand, tried his best to suppress his shyness, and said to Xuan Jingchen, "Let me come, I will undress for Your Majesty."

Now that her status is different, she should be the one who came.

Of course, there was another reason, that was, even though he had exposed his body countless times in front of Xuan Jingchen, Zhong Lisuo was ashamed to be the first to be naked in front of Xuan Jingchen when they took the bath together for the first time.

Xuan Jingchen kindly understood the young man's shyness, she smiled, opened her arms, and let Zhong Lisuo still do it.

Zhong Lisuo reached out and landed on Xuan Jingchen's lapel, and slowly unbuttoned Xuan Jingchen.

Her eyes were very focused, when she stared at Xuan Jingchen, it was as if she was looking at a peerless treasure.No one can resist such a gaze, this kind of serious and focused gaze will make people willing to indulge.

Xuan Jingchen was no exception, many times she looked into Zhong Lisuo's focused eyes, sinking her mind and body a little bit.

The clothes slipped off, revealing the woman's white body.

Zhong Lishuo looked at the naked woman in front of him, his eyes slid down from her tall chest, and landed on her flat belly, his throat rolled.

"Okay, Your Majesty, let's go into the water." She looked away, not daring to look at Xuan Jingchen.I'm afraid that one more look will make my blood boil.

A woman who has practiced martial arts all year round has a flexible body.The seemingly thin woman revealed an explosive body after taking off her clothes.

Smooth muscle lines, fair complexion, slender waist, hips, and straight legs.

Zhong Lisuo stood where he was, watching Xuan Jingchen step by step into the water with his back turned to her, his eyes dazzled by the misty water vapor.

Xuan Jingchen immersed himself in the water, turned around and looked at Zhong Lisuo directly, and called, "Your Highness, come quickly."

Only then did Zhong Lisuo come back to his senses, hurriedly took off his clothes, and followed Xuan Jingchen into the pool.

She walked towards Xuan Jingchen, but saw the woman plunged into the water like a flexible fish and swam towards her.

With a bang, the woman broke through the water and came out.The dripping pool water made Zhong Lisuo's face ugly. In the water droplets all over the sky, Zhong Lisuo opened his eyes, looked at the infinitely magnified beautiful face in front of him, and raised his heart to his throat.

She had always known that her queen was extremely beautiful.But he never thought that he would be so shocked by such beauty that he would be speechless.

Zhong Lisuo tensed his body, trying to call her, but was hugged by a naked woman.

The queen who had always been dignified and gentle in her impression hugged her, wandering around her like the most beautiful enchantress in Yunzhou, approaching her ear and whispering softly: "Why does Your Highness never want to look at me?"

"I... I just..." Zhong Lisuo felt his naked skin, his cheeks were burning hot.

"Just what?" Xuan Jingchen hugged her, smiling sweetly.She approached Zhong Lisuo, stretched out her tongue and licked Zhong Lisuo's earlobe, watched Zhong Lisuo shudder in her arms, and said with a smile: "I always thought that Your Highness has a lot of experience in Yunzhou, so he is so boring to me people don't think about it."

Xuan Jingchen knew that in Yunzhou, it is normal for men to love women.The men and women there are more gentle and affectionate, and more bold and unrestrained.It's not like she is in the army, she doesn't have so many other interests.

Zhong Lisuo came from that romantic place, and he has been famous for a long time, so after many years of marriage, he failed to consummate the marriage. Xuan Jingchen could only attribute it to the fact that Zhong Lisuo had no extra affection for her.

Perhaps, she doesn't like a woman from a military camp who doesn't understand Fengyue.

But it turned out that it wasn't that I didn't like it, it was just that I was too shy.

Zhong Lisuo heard the laughter in his ears, turned around and hugged Xuan Jingchen into his arms, looked into her eyes, and said seriously, "I like you, but I don't know how to please you."

She loves Xuan Jingchen, but she doesn't know how to express this love, how to give it, and whether the other party will want it.

In her life, she had very little.A little warmth, a little softness, and a complete self.

Zhong lisuo has always known that he is actually a very cowardly and selfish person.The loneliness in her childhood and the ups and downs of her youth created her restless heart hidden under her gentle skin.

She believed in Xuan Jingchen, but kept doubting herself.

Would a person like her be the destination of a person's life?

Many people will be like this, never doubting the sincerity, but constantly denying themselves, and hesitant to take a step.

But some things, if you don't ask for them, you won't get them.

So Zhong Lisuo tightened his arms, hugged Xuan Jingchen in his arms, and said, "But now, I know."

"Life is short, be happy when you are happy."

As she spoke, she hugged Xuan Jingchen and sucked his soft lips.

In the steaming mist, the two embracing people became entangled in one place.
