Chapter 34: Catching Firefly and Pulling Her into His Arms
Cui Yiluo saw Jiang Yunjin looking at her with his face slightly tilted to the side, his eyes gloomy with a tangle of complicated emotions. Her heart skipped a beat and she was subconsciously startled. When she wanted to take a closer look, she saw that he had turned away.
He calmly declined, saying, "I haven't written a poem in a long time. I'm afraid I can't continue the County Lady's poem."
Qingting was stunned for a moment, then nodded somewhat disappointedly. After all, Jiang Yunjin had been in the court for many years and was known to be obsessed with official duties, so it was normal that he was unfamiliar with poetry. "Then I'll have to ask Liu Tanhua again."
After saying this, Qingting was about to leave when his eyes suddenly fell on the embroidered screen behind Cui Yiluo and he stared at it intently.
Cui Yiluo saw Qingting's expression becoming more and more amazed, and there was even a hint of admiration in his eyes when he looked at her.
"Sister-in-law, this poem is full of quotations from classics and is full of elegance and substance. Qingting admires it. Could you please continue the poem for me?"
The Princess of Qingting County may seem young, but she is actually well-read and is particularly obsessed with writing poetry. Cui Yiluo heard Jiang Zhaoyue mention this when she came here, and now she understands it even more clearly.
The Qingting County Lady took the initiative to speak, and Cui Yiluo happily said, "If the County Lady doesn't mind, I will do my best."
When Qingting saw that she agreed, a smile immediately spread across his face: "Then sister-in-law, come with me."
"yes."
So, Qingting clearly came to find Jiang Yunjin to continue her poem, but in the end she asked Cui Yiluo to go with her. She seemed very interested in what she had written and took the initiative to ask about her daily reading.
Before leaving, Cui Yiluo turned around to look at Jiang Yunjin. His expression was still calm, with his eyes downcast, not knowing what he was thinking. But his expression was inexplicably much better than before. The glance they had just exchanged seemed like her hallucination.
Seeing her look, Jiang Yunjin nodded slightly but didn't say anything.
Cui Yiluo felt a little strange, but Qingting brought up another topic, so she put the matter aside for the time being.
The two of them walked away talking and laughing, but after a moment their figures were blocked by other noble ladies and the embroidered screen, and they could not be seen clearly.
Yuan Ling turned around and raised an eyebrow. Seeing the tall man in front of him looking a little better, he suddenly smiled and said, "Sir, Miss Cui just had something important to discuss with me. That's why she was a little anxious. Please don't misunderstand me."
Jiang Yunjin glanced at him, then calmly said, "Husband and wife should trust each other."
"Of course, I think Miss Cui doesn't care about these things at all. In a moment of anxiety, she didn't consider Ling Gong's feelings."
Jiang Yunjin's eyes darkened a little.
After Yuan Ling finished speaking, he focused his gaze on the embroidered screen behind Jiang Yunjin: "Miss Cui's poem is indeed well written. Since Lord Ling has been unfamiliar with poetry for a long time, why not let me give it a try."
Yuan Ling smiled innocently: "Sir, excuse me."
Jiang Yunjin, however, did not move, his tall and thin figure standing in front of the embroidered screen. Although he was a civil official, he did not look much weaker than Yuan Ling, a military official. There was even a sense of equal strength between them.
The man's expression was slightly cold, and his voice was deep: "Miss Cui?"
Yuan Ling said with a half-smile, "I'm sorry. I'm used to calling you that, so I just called you a code name. Miss Cui didn't say she minded, so I didn't bother changing my words. I know you're a man who values rules, but I'm used to being casual, and Miss Cui isn't one to value rules either. I hope you'll forgive me."
Jiang Yunjin raised his eyelids slightly, his eyes as calm as a deep pool, and said slowly: "It's okay, as Master Yuan said, the name is just a code name."
Can't change anything.
Yuan Ling's tone instantly darkened, but a playful smile remained on his face: "You are truly magnanimous, Lord Ling."
Jiang Yunjin nodded slightly, "As Master Yuan said, I don't care about these things."
After saying this, without waiting for Yuan Ling's answer, he nodded slightly to say goodbye and strode away.
On the other side, Cui Yiluo, who was brought by Qingting to her embroidered screen, was talking about poetry with Qingting while quietly paying attention to the two men standing opposite each other in the distance.
Yuan Ling is a cunning and overly sharp person, making him extremely difficult to deal with. Could it be that he deliberately said something ambiguous to hint at Jiang Yunjin?
But Cui Yiluo paid attention for a moment and saw that Yuan Ling was about to pass Jiang Yunjin to get to the embroidered screen, but Jiang Yunjin did not give way to him. She couldn't help but frown. Jiang Yunjin valued etiquette the most, so why would he block someone else's way for no reason? Could it be that the two of them had some grudge against each other?
But he looked calm as usual, as if he was just chatting.
Afterwards, the two of them exchanged a few words. Yuan Ling's face looked grim, while Jiang Yunjin strode away calmly.
Cui Yiluo wondered if it was because of some government matter. After all, Yuan Ling was the emperor's man, and Jiang Yunjin was backed by the Second Prince, so it was common for them to have different political views.
However, in this case, it would be even less likely for Yuan Ling to remind Jiang Yunjin and tell him about her previous experiences.
Cui Yiluo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Qingting had a very pleasant conversation with her, and the other ladies and gentlemen at the poetry party also became curious and found her embroidered screen. As a result, many more people came to continue the poems she wrote on the embroidered screen.
She understood the reason for the surprise of everyone, including Qing Ting. Coming from a humble background, she was naturally considered to be shallow and uneducated. But today, she was not what everyone expected, and the contrast naturally surprised everyone.
Even after the poetry reading ended, Qingting still felt a little reluctant to leave and said that he would send her an invitation next time.
Cui Yiluo and Jiang Yunjin did not come together when they came, but when they left, Jiang Yunjin ordered someone to bring the horse back and rode in the carriage with her.
This surprised Cui Yiluo a little, but he didn't speak actively along the way. He sat upright, looking a little absent-minded.
I think he is worried about official business.
So after dinner, Cui Yiluo thought that Jiang Yunjin would go straight to the study, but she didn't expect that when she came back from the accounting office after looking at the account books, she saw a man standing in the bedroom.
He seemed to have just come out of the shower and had not had time to put on his clothes. His upper body was naked, his shoulders and back were broad and firm, revealing his well-proportioned and powerful muscles. His lines were smooth and beautiful, but what was striking was that there were a dozen red marks on them, as if they were drawn by a woman's fingertips.
Deep and shallow, new and old, the red marks are more obvious on the cold white skin.
In order to have an heir, he would do that with her every night as if he was completing a mission. However, when he couldn't control himself, she couldn't bear it at all and left marks on his back due to her loss of composure.
But he usually wore only one style of clothes on the couch, so she couldn't see his back at all. Now that this scene suddenly caught her eye, Cui Yiluo was inevitably shocked.
Hearing her footsteps, Jiang Yunjin quickly put on his shirt again. Perhaps because he saw that she was not in the room, he came out with his upper body naked.
He said calmly, "I'm back."
His tone was calm, as if he had taken their frankness for granted, and Cui Yiluo did not act coy.
She responded and went out of the room to ask someone to bring water to the bathroom. After walking around outside all day and looking at the account books, she was inevitably a little tired.
After coming out of the shower, the bedroom was brightly lit with candles. Jiang Yunjin was sitting on the couch. Contrary to his usual habit, he was not holding a book in his hands, but sitting upright, not knowing what he was thinking.
He was doing the same thing today in the carriage.
Cui Yiluo couldn't help but feel a little strange: "What is your husband thinking?"
Jiang Yunjin pursed his lips and looked up.
Cui Yiluo was keenly aware of the dark ink surging in his eyes, which was exactly the same as it was at the poetry meeting today.
"Husband..."
The next moment, he suddenly stood up, put his long arms around her waist, and pulled her into his arms.
