Chapter 509: Summer clothes are thin and easy to tear
"What's even more ridiculous is that later generations wrote many poems praising their love."
"One of the most famous lines is, 'I wish to be a pair of wings in the sky, and a pair of branches on the ground.'"
"Who would want to be like a pair of lovebirds and intertwined branches with a rotten old man? A victim of imperial power, packaged by literati and poets, as if she really has become the evil concubine who brought disaster to the country."
Yu Lingye grabbed Xie Yingmian's hand after hearing this and said, "Yang Guifei's original husband was too cowardly."
"I will never be like him."
He would protect her at all costs.
"unless……"
"Unless what?" Xie Yingmian asked.
Yu Lingye: "Unless the person involved is willing."
"In the story of Emperor Minghuang of Tang and Yang Guifei, the relationship between them is mostly speculation by later generations."
Xie Yingmian understood.
Yu Lingye felt that there was a possibility that Yang Guifei herself was willing to enter the palace.
This statement is also possible.
When later generations analyzed the love between Emperor Minghuang of Tang and Yang Guifei, they all analyzed it from a God's perspective.
In the eyes of most people, in the feudal era when imperial power was supreme, the emperor's will was the highest command.
No one can refute the emperor's order.
Neither Yang Guifei nor Prince Shou was able to resist.
In the eyes of most people in later generations, Yang Guifei's entry into the palace was more like the result of being coerced by imperial power.
However, history has long since passed away, and no one knows Yang Guifei's true thoughts.
"I don't know what Yang Guifei thought, but I know what I thought."
"I've already told you, I'm obsessed with looks. I only like someone like you who's handsome, with eight-pack abs, a slim waist, and long legs."
"To be honest, I was willing to save you at the beginning because of your face."
"On our wedding night, I was stunned by your appearance. I thought it would be a shame for such a beautiful person to die and turn into a pile of bones. I thought we should save you."
"So, you can think that it was your beauty that saved you."
Yu Lingye: ...
If he remembered correctly, Xie Yingmian was to be buried with him when she married him.
She saved him because she didn't want to be buried with him.
He came to his senses halfway through and wanted to give her a divorce letter so she could leave, but she flatly refused, saying that her mother would not listen to a dead man and that she could only live if he lived.
Yu Lingye was doubtful about whether it was her beauty that saved him, but he didn't say it.
The first lesson in becoming a perfect husband: whatever your wife says is the truth.
Xie Yingmian sighed, "Ever since I met you, my taste has improved. You've whetted my appetite. Unless I can find someone taller, better-looking, and with more perfect abdominal muscles than you, otherwise..."
"After owning immortal items, who would still be interested in ordinary items?"
Yu Lingye smelled the medicinal fragrance on Xie Yingmian's body and half closed his eyes: "What if I get old?"
Xie Yingmian: "When you grow old, I grow old too."
"When I get older, my aesthetic taste will change."
"For example, I like handsome young men like you now, and when I get older, I'll like handsome old men like you."
As she said this, her lips brushed against his Adam's apple.
Yu Lingye's body stiffened.
He hugged Xie Yingmian and held her tightly.
Xie Yingmian took the opportunity to hug his neck, her eyebrows curved: "I seem to feel something I shouldn't feel. Is Your Highness Prince Ling going to do something ridiculous in broad daylight?"
Yu Lingye's voice was hoarse and low: "What do you want?"
Xie Yingmian stroked his cheek with her fingers: "It's hot, I don't really want to."
Yu Lingye's breathing became tight.
I don't really want to hook up with him.
Daytime?
What about during the day?
The hot summer is a great time for absurdity.
Yu Lingye picked up Xie Yingmian and said, "I heard that Cui Yi went to Qianji Tower to order a longevity lock, a longevity bracelet, and golden chopsticks and a golden bowl."
"We can't let him down. How about we start working hard from today?"
Xie Yingmian: "I'm not trying to discourage you, but you won't be able to complete this task in a short time."
She patted Yu Lingye's shoulder and said, "Be a good person, don't be obsessed with food. Let's go and have dinner."
Yu Lingye: ...
Why couldn't he complete the task?
His Royal Highness Prince Ling's stubborn temper came out.
"No rush." He carried Xie Yingmian to the bedroom next door and locked the door.
"The mission can only be completed after it has been carried out. It doesn't matter if it fails. I like to fight again and again after repeated failures." He grabbed Xie Yingmian's hand and placed it on his Adam's apple.
Xie Yingmian touched Yu Lingye's heat and retracted her hand.
When I tried to dodge, I bumped into the wrong place.
The next moment.
Yu Lingye’s eyes became darker.
Summer clothes are thin and easy to tear.
Accompanied by a few crackling sounds, the room was soon filled with harmonious sounds.
…
It's the hottest time of July, the weather is getting cooler, and the chirping of cicadas in the courtyard is becoming less frequent.
Except for the scorching heat at noon, the weather is pleasant in the morning and evening.
The summer heat gradually recedes and autumn arrives unknowingly.
Aunt Frost, who is by the Queen's side, always brings new news every time she comes.
Except for the last time when Concubine Quan was tortured to death while serving the emperor, no concubine in the harem was summoned to the emperor's bedchamber, and naturally no one died again.
But in just less than a month, more than a dozen palace maids had disappeared from the palace.
The palace maids were scattered everywhere.
Some were responsible for cleaning the palace of a concubine.
Some work in the laundry department.
Some even worked in the Zhongjin Palace, responsible for cleaning the dung buckets used by the nobles.
There are thousands of people in the palace. It is normal for a palace maid to die, and it is even more normal for a few to go missing.
No one noticed except the queen.
Xie Yingmian concluded from the news brought by Aunt Shuangjiang every time that the emperor's perversion level was getting higher and higher.
To prevent the emperor from taking action in advance.
Xie Yingmian used the hot weather as an excuse to delay reconnecting Fan Yue's legs.
It's not entirely an excuse.
The dog days of summer in Beijing are really too hot and stuffy. Unlike normal heat, it rains every few days in the summer here.
It's not just the high temperature, the humidity is also extremely high.
That humid and stuffy feeling always makes people feel breathless.
The cooling equipment here is better than nothing, and it is so hot that Xie Yingmian always runs to the empty stone space to cool off.
When it was hottest, she didn't go out all day.
In this hot and humid weather, if Fan Yue's legs are forcibly reattached, not only will the success rate be very low, but it will also be prone to infection.
If the infection develops complications, Fan Yue will undoubtedly die.
Xie Yingmian's statement was recognized by everyone in the Imperial Hospital and also by the Fan family.
The emperor was very suspicious and would not easily force Xie Yingmian to reattach Fan Yue's legs before seeing with his own eyes that Xie Yingmian reattached his legs.
So, Xie Yingmian spent a relatively quiet dog days of summer.
This period of quiet only lasted until the afternoon of July 15th, the Ghost Festival.
The day of the Ghost Festival.
The maids were busy pasting yellow paper talismans everywhere.
Yu Lingye was telling Xie Yingmian about the taboos of the Ghost Festival and the ghost stories circulating among the people.
When Fu Mo knocked on the door, Xie Yingmian, who was immersed in a ghost story, was startled.
She clutched her pounding heart: "Who?"
Fu Mo said, "Your Highness, Princess, someone has come to the Grand Princess's residence and said that the Grand Princess wants to invite you and Your Highness to come over."
Xie Yingmian and Yu Lingye looked at each other.
Grand Princess, invite them over on the afternoon of the Ghost Festival?
