The summer of the 32nd year of Emperor Qin Shihuang's reign.
The emperor and empress toured the Western Regions Autonomous Region.
The summer is hot and the sun is scorching.
The scorching and dazzling sunlight scorched the desert, and the fine golden sand gathered into a vast sea of sand. Herds of camels marched in an orderly line.
Dotted here and there are several lush oases, clear streams meander like a silver ribbon, among which stand ancient cities.
In the city, people dressed in bright and colorful clothes came and went, and street vendors sold all kinds of novel goods.
Camel caravans carried a wide variety of precious goods along the Silk Road for trade. Merchants came and went, and trade flourished unprecedentedly.
This is undoubtedly a tolerant land.
Different faces, different languages, different cultures, exchanges, collisions and integrations have formed a unique exotic style.
At a small stall, the stall owner skillfully grilled skewers of tender lamb and sprinkled them with rich and spicy spices. The fragrant aroma made people salivate.
In the corner, the disguised Chu Yuening was holding a string of fragrant lamb skewers, eating with relish and praising vaguely.
“Mmm…”
"So spicy! (Chew, chew) So authentically spicy! (Chew, chew) That's exactly what it tastes like!"
The woman was already immersed in the charm of the food, her movements became more and more hearty, her cheeks bulged with food, her rosy little mouth was shiny with oil, and her eyes were narrowed in enjoyment.
Although Ying Zheng had learned royal etiquette since he was a child, he did not find it vulgar. Instead, he thought his wife was like a greedy little fox, which was very cute.
He propped up his head, his eyes smiling as he looked at the person opposite him tenderly.
Even though his face looked ordinary after the disguise, his innate dignity and elegance did not diminish his charm and he was still very eye-catching.
Chu Yuening finished a skewer of food with reluctance, and seeing that the man had not yet started eating, she couldn't help but recommend it to him.
"A Zheng, why don't you try it too!"
“It’s really delicious~”
Ying Zheng stared at the roasted lamb that was handed to his mouth and hesitated for a moment, but when he saw his wife's bright eyes, he lowered his head and took a bite.
The fresh aroma of mutton mixed with the spicy flavor of spices, the meat is soft, tender and chewy, and has a unique flavor compared to delicacies from land and sea, and fine foods.
Chu Yuening smiled as she watched her husband, who had put down his airs, become much more lively. The depression between his brows gradually dissipated, and he no longer looked as worried as before.
Indeed, travel is the best healer for people.
"Eat meat with big mouthfuls, drink wine with big mouthfuls, see the great rivers and lakes, and explore the customs and people of the land."
“This is what a fulfilling life is like!”
She consoled him in a playful tone, then raised her eyebrows and bossed the table next to her.
"Xiao Zhao, go get some wine!"
Ying Zheng looked at the spoiled little fox with a helpless and doting expression.
A moment later.
The rosy and translucent wine is poured into a glass, like a deep red gem, emitting a mysterious and elegant luster. As the wine evaporates, the rich fruity aroma wafts away.
"Come on, A Zheng, let's have a toast!"
Chu Yuening raised her glass, clinked it with the man's generously, and then couldn't wait to taste the fine wine.
As soon as the wine enters your mouth, the delicate and mellow taste slides across your tongue, mixed with a slightly intoxicating sweet and sour taste, leaving you with an endless aftertaste.
The wine was low in alcohol and had a sweet taste, so she couldn't help but drink glass after glass.
Ying Zheng originally wanted to stop her, but when he saw his delicate wife give him a gentle and affectionate look, his heart softened again.
Well, it’s rare for Yue Ning to enjoy herself so much.
And he is there to protect me.
As expected, some newbie got drunk again.
In the carriage back to the palace.
Chu Yuening nestled in the man's arms, her cheeks flushed, her beautiful eyes blurred, her red lips like ripe cherries, shining with a crystal luster, and she was mumbling as she opened and closed her lips.
"Fine grape wine in a luminous cup, A Zheng and I won't leave until we're drunk..."
"Don't let the golden cup face the moon in vain, Ah Zheng and I are enjoying the romance..."
"Yuening, you are drunk."
The delicate and graceful body twisted on his body. Ying Zheng pinched the waist and held down the seductive woman who was unaware of it, with a deep dark tide in his eyes.
"I-I'm not drunk!"
"I know you, you are Ah Zheng...hiccup...my most beloved dear husband..."
"Baji!"
The soft and moist kiss fell heavily on Ying Zheng's thin lips, mixed with the strong aroma of wine and the rich fragrance of women, which was extremely intoxicating.
His Adam's apple rolled and he stared straight at the person in his arms. His eyes were dark and dangerous, his voice became low and sexy, and an unbearable gasp escaped from his throat.
"I don't want to take advantage of someone's misfortune, but since Yue Ning has invited me so kindly, I won't hesitate."
The car curtain swayed slightly, and ambiguous sounds were faintly heard.
Zhao Gao's old face turned red outside the carriage, but he still pretended to be calm and gave instructions to the coachman.
"Slow down and take another detour."
Sunrise and sunset, several days passed in a flash.
Chu Yuening visited all the places in the city, big and small, and experienced the exotic customs. After she was satisfied, she couldn't help feeling a little bored.
She suddenly thought of the famous Dunhuang culture in later generations and the dance she had practiced hard, and she inexplicably felt an urge to try her hand at it.
It's so hard to come to the Western Regions, wouldn't it be a pity to miss this opportunity?
So, she prepared her dance costume and accessories first, practiced dancing secretly, and then excitedly proposed to the man.
"A Zheng, how about we go for a trip to the desert?"
“The desert heat…”
"Come on, come on~ I want to dance a special dance for A Zheng."
