Chapter 80 A Happy Night After a Long-Awaited Reunion with Lu and Li
Lu Youchuan grabbed the reins, and aside from kissing him, he waited until he had thoroughly washed his hands and dried his body before allowing himself to touch Qin Song's exposed skin.
His lips, tongue, and hands knew his body better than she did.
The two started kissing as soon as they entered the room. Qin Song was pinned against the wall and soon began to pant heavily, leaning on Lu Youchuan's arm, "I can't take it anymore, my legs are too weak."
Lu Youchuan carried her and turned her towards the bedside.
He's always been a man of few words, and given his direction, it's safe to assume he'll be completely honest with you soon.
Qin Song suddenly grabbed his shoulder, raised an eyebrow towards the desk, and said, "Go over there."
Lu Youchuan glanced at the table and chairs, understood immediately, turned around, and stretched his neck to kiss her lips.
His tongue slipped inside, his kiss was hot and lingering, and Qin Song simply couldn't stay dry.
Arriving at the desk, Lu Youchuan familiarly had her sit on the edge of the desk, kissing her all the way down. He tried to squat down, but Qin Song stopped him.
"Take it off." Qin Song winked at him.
Lu Youchuan was slightly taken aback, but then did as instructed.
But just as his hand touched the lapel, Qin Song corrected him again, "The one below."
Lu Youchuan was taken aback again, but still did as instructed without any hesitation.
"Hold me." Qin Song had already loosened her belt and opened her arms to him.
As springtime light spilled out, countless blushes and red marks appeared on Qin Song's fair shoulders, neck, behind his ears, chest, and even further down.
There were signs, kiss marks, and even some tiny teeth marks.
Pink and red clumps, interspersed with some deep red and purplish marks, looked like spring flowers kissing her skin.
When Lu Youchuan saw those marks, his eyes narrowed, and a surge of jealousy welled up inside him.
"I'm not going back to Beijing."
He pressed himself close to her, wrapped his arms around her waist, and began to kiss her, wanting to kiss every part of her body.
Qin Song was so weak from his kisses that she tilted her head back and wrapped her legs around his waist: "What if I want to go to the capital?"
Lu Youchuan's desires, which had long since broken free of their cage, were almost out of control, but he was never in a hurry and was extremely good at restraining himself.
Even now, after Qin Song finished speaking incoherently, he still managed to straighten up, look down into her eyes, and, breathing heavily, get down to business: "Is it time?"
"Hmm, don't stop." Qin Song held his hand and pressed down. She took a breath before saying, "Xue Ci has already entered the capital, and Long An has probably taken the bait."
Lu Youchuan already knew about Qin Song's plan. She had been waiting for this day for five years. At this moment, he could no longer restrain himself and pulled her back against him.
The kiss was so fierce it felt like it would devour her whole.
Qin Song was panting heavily. He reached out to unbutton his shirt, but Qin Song pressed his hand down, wrapped his long arms around his neck, and said, "Hold me and sit there."
A faint redness appeared at the corners of Lu Youchuan's eyes. He easily lifted her up, and the two sat down on the spacious wooden chair in front of the desk...
Qin Song's clothes were piled up at his waist, and he braced his hands against the desk behind him, his smooth, fair back occasionally touching the edge of the desk.
Lu Youchuan placed his large hands on her back, protecting her waist and back every time she was about to bump into something.
She got tired quickly, straightened up, and looked into his eyes with a smile, "Lu Lang, I like you so much."
Qin Song had said these things to him before, but this time she meant it.
Regardless of what happened between them, as far as she could see, he was impeccably dressed and had a restrained desire on his icy face, making her unable to resist.
She knew all too well how upright and honest he was, and how devoted he was to serving the country.
In recent years, Long'an has been very radical. When faced with dissenting ministers, he used an iron fist to remove many stubborn old ministers. He also promoted many women he had supported in his early years to enter the court and cabinet. In less than two years, he replaced more than 30% of the heads of state and government offices with women.
This action was exactly what Qin Song wanted, but she was too presumptuous. Her haste and rashness were full of hidden drawbacks. If it weren't for Lu Youchuan's strong support over the years, the various prefectures under the Long'an regime would have been paralyzed long ago.
Lu Youchuan was a good official and also a great partner.
Good-looking, good-natured, and capable.
But she's not good.
She just liked his lewd and wild nature.
Perhaps one day she will go so far as to make him carry her to court, right behind the Golden Palace, where all the ministers in front of the palace hold their own opinions, refusing to yield or submit.
They were also engaged in a heated debate behind the scenes, working tirelessly without rest.
Qin Song loved him, loved him so much.
Moreover, she would only become obsessed with someone like Lu Youchuan; she wouldn't be able to do it with anyone else.
He might even be able to jot down the ministers' opinions while he's entwined with her, loving her while simultaneously reviewing memorials.
If it were Tao Qingyang, this would be something he would do; he might even find the ministers noisy and kick them out.
Needless to say, Li Yu would agree to anything she wanted, and would even arrange the rear scene in advance.
"So, only you, Lu Lang, I love you so much."
This is you.
Qin Song couldn't help but cup Lu Youchuan's face and kiss him.
Both her kiss and her words bewitched the usually restrained Lu Youchuan. His desire intensified, and he reached behind her head, his soft lips brushing against her ear: "A Song, say it again."
Qin Song couldn't take it anymore; he seemed encouraged and became even more intense...
Unable to dodge, she subconsciously murmured, "Lu Lang, I love you."
As soon as the words were spoken, both of them felt a sudden, stunned shiver...
Compared to their usual long and difficult separations, this time they slept in each other's arms, without any dreams, and slept soundly until dawn. When spring arrived, Qin Song slowly opened his eyes.
She lifted her eyelids and was greeted by a deep, sculpted face, sharp and handsome.
The person beside her had turned their head and was staring at her with downcast eyes: "You're awake?"
Qin Song smiled contentedly, shifted her body and snuggled into his arms, "I still want to sleep."
Lu Youchuan stroked the top of her head, "Then you sleep a little longer, I'll go out and take a look."
He pulled the blanket over her and was about to get up when Qin Song grabbed his hand, "Lu Lang, carry me out of bed."
She really didn't want to get up, but Chunhe knew that Lu Youchuan was there, yet she still came to report it rashly, which must be no small matter. After all, Lu Youchuan had always stayed in the capital, and even if he was outstanding, it would be difficult for him to make a name for himself in Kaifeng.
Lu Youchuan personally helped Qin Song get up and dressed, and after removing the sheets and blankets, he went out to change Chunhe into the room to serve him.
Chunhe brought in hot water and, while helping Qin Song wash up, reported, "Miss, the secret guards have reported that someone from the capital has come. They say they have seen the figure of Emperor Long'an's attendant several times in the suburbs. They don't know what his purpose is, so they came to report."
"Oh?" Qin Song pondered, "They've arrived so quickly?"
Since they raised the banner of the Crown Prince's righteousness, the capital and Kaifeng have maintained a peaceful coexistence on the surface, but in private, many people from the capital have come to investigate the situation.
In the past, they were all guards and eunuchs, insignificant figures, whom Qin Song had never paid any attention to.
This time, they actually sent the eldest princess's bedmate; he must be someone of considerable importance.
Moreover, as an important figure, he should be even more discreet, yet he has been discovered by our spies multiple times. It seems he wants to invite us to a meeting.
Qin Song suddenly remembered: "Where is Li Yu? Let him come with me to meet the other party."
It would be too lonely for her to deal with the people from the capital alone; it would be most appropriate for Li Yu to accompany her.
Lu Youchuan shouldn't appear in public, and Master Shen is engrossed in teaching; she doesn't trust anyone else.
Moreover, Li Yu has been acting on her behalf, in his capacity as Junior Chamberlain, navigating the complex relationships between the capital and various powerful families.
With him around, she felt more at ease.
"The Junior Chamberlain accompanied Master Shen to the Pure Talk Conference three days ago, and should be back soon."
Qin Song quickly instructed, "Then you go and keep an eye on him. As soon as he arrives, tell him to come find me."
Chunhe suddenly smiled and looked into Qin Song's eyes through the mirror: "Miss, this is not something I need to do. When does the Junior Chamberlain come back from his business, and he always comes to see you first?"
Seeing Chunhe's smiling face, Qin Song suddenly realized that this girl was no longer the timid, conservative, and rigid little girl she once was.
She glared at her with feigned authority, then said, "Then go and make preparations for His Highness. I'm afraid he'll have to come with me too."
"Okay, I'll go find Sister Yunqian right now."
These words made Qin Song laugh as well, but then she changed her mind. "No, let's find a doctor to treat the Crown Prince, so we don't have to bother him."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a light footstep sounded outside the door, followed by a familiar, crisp fragrance.
"Songniang".
Speak of the devil, and he appears; Li Yu, carrying a small wooden box, strode into the house with practiced ease.
Upon seeing Qin Song, her eyes crinkled with laughter, "Look what I brought you!"
Qin Song had been up very late last night and her back was still a little sore, but she was still very happy to see Li Yu. She got up and moved closer to him, "I guess, it's a shadow puppet?"
Li Yu's eyes widened slightly, and he hugged her affectionately, "As expected, nothing can be hidden from you."
Chunhe's eyes widened in shock, and she silently carried the dirty water out.
Qin Song certainly knew what he had brought her.
Whenever she paid extra attention to something, he would always find a way to find it for her.
She had accompanied him to see a shadow puppet show once before, and she praised the puppets for their exquisite craftsmanship. He then wanted to buy them, but since they were the puppets' livelihood, the shopkeeper naturally refused to sell them.
He then promised to find him someone better.
The fact that he ran in so excitedly, as if he were asking for a reward, means he must have found some interesting shadow puppets.
He opened the box, inside which was a brand new set of exquisite shadow puppets, brightly colored. Although the workmanship was still somewhat immature, its beauty was undeniable.
Qin Song's eyes lit up. She picked up a small portrait of a woman with an intricate headdress and waved it in front of her. "It's so beautiful. Is it freshly made?"
"Hmm, do you like it?"
"I like it." Qin Song held the shadow puppet up in front of the window and examined it carefully for a while, then carefully put it back into the box before reaching out to pull Li Yu, who had been staring at her.
"Get ready and come with me to see someone."
Qin Song's hand had just touched Li Yu's fingers when he suddenly pulled it back.
Qin Song was taken aback, then grabbed his hand even further.
Looking up, I saw that his hands, which used to hold the pen and turn the pages, were covered in wounds. There were small cuts on the back of his hands and the edges of his fingers, and sparse hangnails on the edges of his nails. His once clean and soft palms also seemed to have blisters from holding knives and sticks for a long time.
"What's wrong with you? What happened to your hand?"
Li Yu felt as if he were being publicly executed when Qin Song looked at his hands. He lowered his head and said casually, "It's nothing, it's just from the horse reins."
"How could this be? This isn't your first time riding a horse. Why haven't you been like this before?" Qin Song took his hand again with heartache and gently touched his wound. "Did you make that shadow puppet yourself?"
Li Yu's face flushed red instantly. He swallowed hard before awkwardly saying, "It's not exquisite enough."
"Who said that! It looks great, but you're not allowed to do it again. Your hands aren't for this kind of thing." Qin Song gently patted his hand, unable to bring herself to scold him harshly.
The wound stung, and Li Yu winced, but he didn't flinch. He stared stubbornly at Qin Song, his expression unyielding. In truth, this was what he wanted to do most.
He could stand on his own for her, but making her happy was what he wanted to do most.
He curled his fingers, greedily trying to feign pain to gain some pity.
Before he could finish speaking, Chunhe's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Greetings, Lord Lu."
Lu Youchuan?
Li Yu's clear eyes suddenly turned hostile. Without thinking, he immediately leaned down and kissed Qin Song.
As the footsteps of the person outside approached, Li Yu kissed them more deeply and held them tighter.
