Chapter 323 The Last Night
At the highest point of Shangjing City, stands an inn called "Zhaixing Pavilion".
Open the pearwood window and you can have a panoramic view of the entire capital city.
The crowds of people are flowing, the colorful lights are weaving, and the fireworks all over the city form a vivid picture in front of your eyes.
The copper bells hanging on the corners of the eaves ring when the wind blows, as if they can startle the flowing clouds.
Liu Yuetang leaned against Xiao Heng, quietly looking at the scenery below.
Looking at the couples walking hand in hand on the street, all smiling and talking, a trace of envy flashed across Xiao Heng's eyes, "I'm quite envious of them."
"They don't have to worry about what disputes will arise in the morning court, nor do they have to be on guard against someone secretly offering a knife. They just need to move forward with peace of mind, and even the wind will be warm."
Liu Yuetang followed his gaze and saw an elderly couple supporting each other as they watched the lanterns. Their hair was all white, but the tenderness in their eyes and brows surpassed that of a young couple.
"At the end of the year, we will walk along the green mountain road, and return home with old age." Liu Yuetang recited slowly without realizing it.
"To be able to share a deep affection until old age is the most beautiful love in the world."
Xiao Heng hugged Liu Yuetang tighter, his gaze still fixed on the elderly couple walking slowly in the light downstairs. He spoke softly, "Yes, being an ordinary person, a couple for life, from youth to old age, holding hands, is better than all the prosperity in this world."
"And what about you, Your Majesty?"
Liu Yuetang raised her eyes and looked at his profile. "If I asked you to exchange your status as an emperor for this simple happiness, would you be willing?"
This unrealistic and terrifying idea suddenly popped up in Liu Yuetang's mind.
Somehow, it just came out of my mouth.
Xiao Heng was slightly stunned and even held his breath for a moment.
The light outside the window flickered on his face, his expression was confused and complicated, and he was speechless for a moment.
He looked at Liu Yuetang, whose eyes were serious, and his heart suddenly moved. He was about to speak when she interrupted him:
"My joke was a bit too much. Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, responsible for the country and the people. How can you let something ordinary hold you back?"
She lowered her dim eyes, feeling that the delusion she had just had was ridiculous.
What is she expecting?
Are you actually looking forward to him abdicating in the future so that you can live this ordinary life together?
No! Liu Yuetang, ah Liu Yuetang.
He is an emperor, he has three thousand beauties and countless women around him.
Why should he give for you, for a selfish woman who is trying every possible way to leave him?
Who knows, once you leave, after five or ten years, he will have completely forgotten about you.
Liu Yuetang looked downstairs in panic, trying her best to calm herself down.
But Xiao Heng's heart suddenly became confused.
He stared deeply at Liu Yuetang's beautiful and gentle face, without taking his eyes off her for a long time.
"Your Majesty! Look, isn't this the eldest princess?"
Liu Yuetang's voice brought Xiao Heng back to his senses. He turned around and saw Duan Rou with He Yunzheng.
He Yunzheng was holding a string of candied haws wrapped in crystal sugar, and Duan Rou took a bite of one with a smile on her face.
Perhaps the sugar coating had stained the corner of her mouth, He Yunzheng raised his hand and gently wiped the corner of her mouth.
Snowflakes fluttered down and landed on the hair of the two people, making them feel particularly warm and tender.
Xiao Heng frowned slightly: "Doesn't my sister never eat candied haws?"
"She always said that hawthorn cakes were delicious, but candied haws were too sweet and she was afraid they would smudge her makeup."
"Your Majesty, you don't understand." Liu Yuetang smiled.
"Although the candied haws were not to the princess's liking, they were handed to her by He Yunzheng."
Her eyes flickered as she glanced at the figure leaning against her on the street corner, her smile filled with understanding. "Whatever is given by my beloved, no matter how sweet it is, it becomes just the right taste. Even if it will mess up my makeup, now that I've met someone who has eyes only for her, why should I worry about whether my makeup is appropriate?"
"Princess, you've found true love."
Xiao Heng's brows relaxed slightly, and he spoke with a hint of disdain: "He Yunzheng, this kid, is really quick."
But in just a few months, he won the heart of his elder sister. How could he not be happy?
The two of them were eating the candied haws, and just when Xiao Heng was about to look away, he saw Duan Rou tiptoeing and kissing He Yunzheng on the cheek.
He Yunzheng was stunned on the spot. The surprise came so suddenly that the candied haws in his hand fell to the ground.
The next moment, he raised his hand, gently supported the back of Duanrou's neck, and leaned over to kiss her.
"This... is outrageous!" Xiao Heng clenched his fists.
He never expected that He Yunzheng, who had always been honest and simple, would be so bold as to hug his sister and kiss her in public.
Their kisses became more and more passionate. Finally, He Yunzheng took the umbrella from the servant and held it over their heads, just enough to enclose them in a small space and kiss them freely.
Liu Yuetang's cheeks flushed and she turned her head away.
Her fingertips gently tugged at Xiao Heng's sleeve, and her voice was a little shy: "Your Majesty, let's stop looking."
Seeing Liu Yuetang so shy, Xiao Heng chuckled: "Others kiss others, why are you shy, Madam?"
"Your face never got so red when I kissed you."
Liu Yuetang rolled her eyes at him and called out coquettishly, "Husband!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she was held tightly in Xiao Heng's arms.
Even through the clothes, I could clearly feel the warmth of his chest and his steady heartbeat.
In a moment, a hot breath fell beside Liu Yuetang's ear, "Madam, can I...?"
Xiao Heng's voice was very low, deep and hoarse.
However, before Liu Yuetang could answer, his hot lips impatiently fell on her neck, and he let out an almost inaudible gasp.
Liu Yuetang felt a shudder aroused by him, and she couldn't help but raise her chin, with the corners of her eyes raised charmingly, looking at Xiao Heng and said: "Husband... yes."
After saying that, she closed her eyes and kissed Xiao Heng deeply with unprecedented passion and tenderness.
Xiao Heng's whole body stiffened, and then a storm of emotions appeared in his eyes. He put his arms around her waist and took charge of the kiss.
This is the kiss I haven't had in half a year.
For a moment, the curtains fell, the necks were entangled, and the brocade quilt was messy.
Their eyes intertwined, their figures blended together, and in the ups and downs, Liu Yuetang completely surrendered herself to Xiao Heng, spending this passionate night together.
The last night...
