Chapter 97 (8,000 words) As long as you want, I...
At dawn, the clouds dispersed, and under the azure sky, the news that the empress had severely punished the spy in the palace had quietly spread to all places outside the palace.
In the morning, the ceremonial carriages of the four princesses and county ladies entered the palace gate first and passed through the palace road. The sound of horses' hooves and the jade hanging outside the carriages made a clear and pleasant sound, and the scene was magnificent.
When all the officials reported on court affairs and left, the empress still did not show up, and everyone had different thoughts about this.
"I really don't know who has such long-range hands that even the harem cannot live in peace?" The eldest princess flipped through the documents and spoke with a hint of meaning, looking at the second princess with ill intent.
When it comes to conspiracies and intrigues, the second princess is the best among them and can be said to be the best.
The fourth princess went to visit the second princess, but she didn't say anything, she was just curious.
In response, the Second Princess calmly wrote and reviewed the documents, saying, "I think His Majesty will make his own decision. There's no need for you, Eldest Sister."
"That's true. I really admire Second Princess's calmness. Isn't she afraid of seeking her own death?" The eldest princess said sarcastically.
"Big sister, if you don't have solid evidence, it's better not to discuss the affairs of His Majesty's inner palace in private. Have you forgotten the lesson of the palace affairs back then?" The second princess looked at the arrogant eldest princess with contempt in her eyes.
"You...!" The eldest princess looked embarrassed, the exquisite armor between her fingers gleaming sharply, and she wished she could scratch the other person's face.
The hall was silent for a moment, and the atmosphere was quiet. The Fourth Princess silently withdrew her gaze from watching the battle, trying to pretend nothing had happened and review the documents.
Unexpectedly, the Third Princess slammed her hand shut, closing the document and impatiently saying, "The sun is getting hotter. I think it's best for everyone to return to the Princess' Mansion."
After saying this, the third princess stood up, her hair full of jewels gleaming brightly in the light. The maidservant accompanying her presented documents and other items, and they left the palace together.
"The palace didn't even bother to order people to prepare some ice cubes. It really makes people uncomfortable." The eldest princess was unwilling to stay and hurriedly left the palace.
The Fourth Princess did not move immediately. She raised her hand and wiped the sweat from her cheek with an embroidered handkerchief. She looked at the Second Princess and felt that she was extremely patient.
The Second Princess met his gaze and asked, "Why, Fourth Princess also thinks it was me who did it?"
"No, doesn't Second Princess feel hot?" The Fourth Princess asked in a friendly manner.
"I was able to survive the cold winter and the scorching summer back then, so this little heat is nothing." The second princess lowered her eyes and looked at the document, thinking that there were many eyes and ears in the palace, and Xuan Yizhen was not unaware of it.
This sudden commotion is just a warning to others.
The blazing sun rose slowly outside the palace. In the other bedroom, Yin Xing looked into the bronze mirror, raised her hand to wrap her hairband around it, and said, "Yizhen, aren't you going to court today?"
Xuan Yizhen sipped his tea and looked at Yin Xing, who was dressed lightly. She had a slender waist and rubbed the cup with her fingertips. She replied calmly, "Well, the princess and the duke assist in government affairs, so I don't have to attend court every day."
"But it sounds like there's a risk of the throne being usurped." Yin Xing turned and tied the red silk ribbon around his wrist to remind him.
Throughout the dynasties, it has never been heard that even the emperor's attendance in court was dispensable.
"Maybe, but if that's the case, there's nothing I can do." Xuan Yizheng raised his hand and touched the red silk ribbon on Yin Xing's wrist, responding indifferently.
Yin Xing looked at Xuan Yizhen like this, not knowing how to relieve her worries. He held her cool hand in his palm and muttered, "Yizhen, do you want to go to the horse farm with me to learn how to play polo?"
Xuan Yizhen slowly withdrew his hand, his brows and eyes were picturesque, but his words were direct in his refusal. He replied calmly, "No, I won't go. It's tiring and makes me sweat easily. It's boring."
"Okay." Yin Xing looked at the elegant and graceful Xuan Yizhen. She usually played with flowers and plants, and really didn't seem to like competitive games, so he didn't persuade her any more.
But then Yin Xing thought that doing that kind of intimate thing was very tiring and made her sweat easily, but Xuan Yizheng never felt that way. She was clearly treating them differently.
Of course Yin Xing didn't dare to say it. He stayed with Xuan Yizhen for a while before leaving the palace.
Xuan Yizheng pursed his lips and watched Yin Xing's thin figure walking away, sighing helplessly. Is playing polo more interesting than staying with him?
There was bright light from the window lattice, dust was flying on the horse field, the ball was spinning rapidly, and Yin Xing was riding a horse and leading four palace maids to practice against Jiang Yun.
The sound of horse hooves was noisy and overlapping, echoing like drums.
In the distance, two other polo teams were parked at the edge of the racecourse, led by Gong Yang Luo.
"Why can't my young master enter the stable for training?" The servant stepped forward and spoke angrily.
"Your Majesty has ordered that no other polo team is allowed to enter the racecourse without permission from morning to noon." The palace guard responded solemnly.
After he finished speaking, the servant looked unhappy and scolded, "Then why are there other polo teams entering?"
The palace guard replied without hesitation, "That is the Xizhou Marquis Yin family, who was granted special permission by His Majesty. If Crown Prince Gongyang can obtain special permission, he will naturally be allowed to pass."
Gong Yangluo held a folding fan in his hand to stop the servant from speaking, and looked into the distance at the figure on the horse farm, his elegant expression revealing a gloomy look.
At this moment, the leader of another team said contemptuously: "It seems that the favor from Prince Gongyang is only this much. We'd better wait patiently."
Gong Yangluo withdrew his gaze without saying a word and did not linger any longer, but left the racecourse with the polo team.
Jiang Yun saw the two groups from afar. He was not worried about them coming to seize the venue, but he just didn't want their tactics to be leaked.
But just when Jiang Yun was distracted, the ball under his stick suddenly fell into the air. He looked at Yin Xing smiling with her eyebrows curved into crescents, looking sweet and innocent. He paused in his action of intercepting the ball and thought to himself that he would just give her a ball for free.
In the afternoon, Yin Xing returned to the hall to take a shower, sweating profusely. His whole face was flushed red, and he was particularly happy to talk about his goal.
Xuan Yizheng scattered herbs on his palm for Yin Xing to take a medicinal bath, and listened patiently to her enthusiastic words.
"This is the first goal I've scored after practicing for so long." Yin Xing grinned, revealing her white teeth, and muttered with a smile.
"In that case, according to the score on the field, you lost miserably." Xuan Yizheng tapped Yin Xing's upturned nose lightly with his fingertips and couldn't help but make a teasing sound.
After all, only one goal was scored in the whole game, but he could still be so happy. I have never seen anyone else like Yin Xingxuan.
Yin Xing's smile dimmed immediately. He blinked at the gentle and beautiful Xuan Yizhen, feeling that her words were particularly sharp. To save his face, he said, "There's nothing I can do. Jiang Yun is very powerful."
Xuan Yizhen saw that the smile in Yin Xing's eyes had faded a lot, and he couldn't bear to discourage her, so he could only respond: "Well, then you should work harder."
In fact, Xuan Yizheng felt that the goal scored by Yin Xing was most likely the result of Jiang Yun's concession.
After all, Xuan Yizheng had investigated Jiang Yun's dealings. She was once the best polo player among the noble ladies in the capital, and she was able to kill Han Fei, which showed that her martial arts skills were indeed very powerful.
This is far from an opponent that Yin Xing can defeat.
The sound of water gurgled as Xuan Yizhen fiddled with the medicinal bath with his palm. His gaze fell on Yin Xing's smooth, white skin, then extended deep into the water. He called out in a clear, hoarse voice, "Does your hand injury still hurt?"
"It's okay, I wrapped my hand specially today. It's healed now and won't delay my performance." Yin Xing opened his hand, revealing the skin of his palm, and the blisters and swelling were gone.
"It seems that you really want to compete." Xuan Yizheng held Yin Xing's hand and rubbed her joints to relieve the soreness and discomfort.
Polo balls are very thick, otherwise they can be easily broken and damaged by being hit, so naturally there is a requirement for strength.
Yin Xing nodded and asked curiously, "But I don't know who I will compete with yet."
Logically speaking, Xuan Yizhen is the referee of the competition, so she must know the inside story.
Xuan Yizhen looked at Yin Xing's probing eyes without disguising his inner thoughts and jokingly asked, "Who do you want to compete with?"
"I don't know. What do you think is the best arrangement?"
"I think it would be more appropriate to put you on the women's team. It would be great if you could meet the Third Princess. It would definitely be exciting."
Yin Xing noticed that Xuan Yizhen's grip on his hand had become much heavier, causing some pain. He hesitated and said, "Yizhen, are you serious?"
The third princess was very good at playing polo and had hardly ever lost a match, so Yin Xing still had some self-awareness.
Xuan Yizhen lowered his eyes to look at Yin Xingyin's misty eyes. His throat felt dry and he chuckled softly, "It seems you're not very willing. Then let's draw lots to decide when the time comes."
"Who will be drawing lots?" Yin Xing asked.
"That depends on your luck." As he spoke, Xuan Yizheng curled up his slender fingertips and flicked the water droplets to tease him.
As soon as he finished speaking, the clear water made a sound like water droplets. Yin Xing subconsciously closed his eyes, feeling the water flowing across his cheek. He quickly raised his hand to wipe it, looking innocently at the naughty Xuan Yizhen, holding the water in his palm, and launching a sneak attack!
There was a sound of splashing water. Xuan Yizhen tilted her head slightly, but some crystal water droplets still fell on her jade-white cheeks, leaving wet marks. She blinked her beautiful eyes, revealing a glittering light, and said softly, "You dare to offend the referee now? It seems you are not afraid of being sent off?"
"Hehe, I'm not afraid." Yin Xing looked at Xuan Yizheng infatuatedly, thinking to himself that he was naked anyway and had nothing to fear.
But the smile on Yin Xing's face only lasted three seconds, as Xuan Yizheng suddenly reached out his hand and sank into the water, which immediately caused an exclamation!
The turbulent water surface attracted the sunlight, which was scattered and mottled. The clear cries of begging for mercy kept overflowing from inside, which aroused people's imagination.
"Help, help, hahaha!"
“…”
The female official Chunli remained silent and raised her hand to dismiss the palace maids as usual. She thought that the six elders would not tolerate the throne of queen falling into the hands of foreigners, but the master was completely focused on Yin Xing, so it was no wonder that he did not like the elders.
No one in the huge palace is as favored as Yin Xing. If she were not without ambition, the master might even let her sit on the throne.
After a while, the sound gradually weakened. Yin Xing weakly held Xuan Yizhen's hand. He was very ticklish and said weakly: "I give up. I don't want to play anymore."
Xuan Yizhen didn't struggle either. He just looked at Yin Xing, whose breathing was disordered. He felt the delicate skin under his palm, and his fingertips moved slightly. He said in an unbearable voice: "Okay."
After saying that, Xuan Yizheng withdrew his hand, touched somewhere inadvertently, and stood up to change his wet clothes.
Yin Xing did not bathe again. With the sound of water splashing, she raised her hand to tie her hair into a bun and put on her clothes.
When the two came out to eat, the female official couldn't help but take another look at Yin Xing.
Yin Xing happened to meet this gaze that seemed both concerned and gossipy. He looked at the female official in confusion, wondering what was going on.
After the lady-in-waiting led the palace maids out of the inner hall, Yin Xing drank his tea and realized belatedly that the lady-in-waiting had probably misunderstood that he and Xuan Yizheng were playing around.
Yin Xing immediately looked at the dignified and generous Xuan Yizhen with a red face, his eyes full of resentment.
Xuan Yizheng tasted the tofu soup slowly and leisurely. It was smooth and soft. He inexplicably thought of the playtime he had just had. He paused and looked up at Yin Xing.
"What's wrong?" Yin Xing asked in frustration and confusion.
"It's nothing, I just think the tofu is very tender. You try it." Xuan Yizheng held the jade spoon and fed it to Yin Xing without hesitation.
Yin Xing tasted the tofu soup inexplicably. Although it was tender and smooth, it was far less fragrant than meat. He was a little confused about Xuan Yizheng's taste.
Xuan Yizhen looked at Yin Xing's indifferent reaction and said, "Not tasty?"
"No, I just think tofu with rice would taste better." Yin Xing responded politely.
"Is that so? I only want to eat tofu and not rice." Xuan Yizheng didn't say much when he saw that Yin Xing didn't understand.
Yin Xing was confused by what he said, and thought to himself, Xuan Yizheng is just picky about food!
Yin Xing was speechless for a while, buried in his food. After a long while, he heard Xuan Yizhen suddenly say, "But you are whiter and more tender than tofu."
"Ahem..." Yin Xing looked at Xuan Yizhen with a serious face in astonishment, only to find that she was very bad!
This is not taking advantage of me, it's clearly teasing me.
Yin Xing pretended to be deaf and dumb and didn't understand Xuan Yizheng's hint. Anyway, before the final game at the racecourse, he would definitely not play tricks with her!
In the silence, the light from outside illuminated the magnificent interior of the palace, gradually blurring the figures of the two people having their meal.
As the day of the racecourse finals approached, the ranking of the winners of the competition among the noble young men of Xiyuan was already revealed.
The competition among the princesses and princesses was even more ruthless. The polo team of the fourth princess was defeated by the noble lady of the Shangguan family and became the first to be eliminated in the royal family.
The Fourth Princess's face immediately darkened. She whispered coldly to the maid, "Take all these people out of the palace and break their legs to save them from embarrassment!"
Seeing this, the eldest princess couldn't help but scoff: "Tsk tsk, what a pity."
After several competitions, the polo team replaced the unqualified players early on, so the eldest princess was able to make it into the top eight.
However, when competing for the top four, the eldest princess's polo team was defeated by the second princess's polo team. Many people vomited blood and fell to the ground. It was a very tragic defeat.
The competition among the nobles of Xiyuan was even more intense, and even their horses were injured and fell to the ground. Yin Xing was terrified watching this.
I originally thought that only the opening day would be somewhat violent, but I didn't expect this one to be even more brutal. It seems that the day in between was used to build up strength and hide the enemy's power.
In the end, Gong Yangluo, Xiao Yi and two noble sons of the Wanqi family were selected into the top four.
The top four members of the women's team are the two princesses, Princess Tai'an, and Shangguan Sheng.
Yin Xing looked at the list and almost thought it was a man's name, but it turned out to be a woman with sharp and intimidating eyes, who looked inexplicably like Jiang Yun, probably a martial artist.
Xuan Yizheng was in a good mood when he saw that no noble lady from the bloodline of the six elders of the Wanqi family was selected. After all, these people could not resist the power of the entire dynasty. He hoped that they could be aware of their identities and not overstep the line to seek death.
Xuan Yizhen then raised his hand and ordered someone to present the lottery bucket. He said, "Today's performance has been truly spectacular. To enhance the finale and create more suspense, I will implement a mixed-gender lottery bucket. A team from the Marquis of Xizhou will also be added to the competition. However, regardless of whether we win or lose, it will be treated as a mere amusement, and no ranking will be awarded."
When everyone's eyes turned to him, Yin Xing's nerves tensed up. He didn't expect Xuan Yizheng to arrange for someone with connections so blatantly.
Once the Holy Order was issued, naturally no one objected, not to mention that the Empress had clearly stated that winning or losing did not matter in the ranking, and her meaning was obvious.
This Xizhou Marquis Yin was just having fun.
The princesses and princesses had already known about this matter in the imperial study a long time ago, and their reaction to it was indifferent.
The eldest princess said with a twitch of her eyes, "Your Majesty, it's difficult to compete with one more team. I am willing to take over."
After these words were spoken, the Fourth Princess took a deep breath and almost died of anger!
When Yin Xing heard this, he felt that the eldest princess was too immodest and he was a little impressed.
Xuan Yizhen looked at the eldest princess and nodded in response, "Okay, I will allow you to participate as an additional substitute."
Soon, everyone drew the jade sticks themselves. Yin Xing looked at the last jade stick in front of him and still couldn't understand the mystery.
Isn’t Xuan Yizheng afraid that he might accidentally hit the third princess?
While daydreaming, Yin Xing raised her hand and held the jade stick, her eyes fell on the gold foil inlaid pattern on the bottom, and then looked at Xuan Yizheng who was calm and composed, not understanding what she meant at all.
However, the female official Chunli had already written down the names of the two opposing sides and announced them loudly in front of the stage.
Yin Xing was bewildered when he heard what his opponent said and felt it was outrageous.
"The fifth match is between Xizhou Marquis Yin and the eldest princess." The female official Chunli stopped talking and was also surprised. It was too much of a coincidence.
Xuan Yizhen met Yin Xing's clear and pure gaze, pinched her hand with his fingertips and played with it, whispering teasingly, "If you beat the princess, wouldn't this be a chance to uphold justice?"
Xuan Yizheng had heard Yin Xing's indignant complaints about the slapping of the female official Chunli by the eldest princess more than once.
Yin Xing looked at Xuan Yizhen with sudden realization, wondering if she had predicted that the eldest princess would snatch the qualification to participate?
This is amazing!
However, Xuan Yizheng did not expect that the eldest princess would take the initiative to ask for a place.
I originally wanted to make other arrangements, but the eldest princess was not polite at all.
Because today's finals were too intense and the heat was already rising before noon, the finals were postponed to five days later.
Everyone retreated in an orderly manner. Gong Yangluo looked at the jade sign in his hand, his fingertips resting on the gold foil flower print on it, and thought to himself that the empress had really put a lot of thought into it.
The third princess arrogantly placed the exquisite jade stick on the table, thinking to herself that jade could not be as beautiful as gemstones, and that someone really did not know how to appreciate it.
It is not a good thing to be too prominent in polo matches without any strength. The third princess never thought that Xuan Yizheng would do anything useless.
Seeing this, the eldest princess was in a very good mood. It was obvious that Yin was in a very sick state, so she would definitely win.
"A-choo, A-choo!" Yin Xing, who was leaving the viewing platform of the racecourse, kept sniffing his nose. He intuitively felt that many people were cursing him.
Xuan Yizhen tilted his head to look at Yin Xing, raised his hand and touched her face. She didn't feel cold, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Yin Xing shook his head and replied, "It's okay. I was just wondering how to get Princess Biying to apologize."
"You are so confident. It seems that you are equally matched opponents." Xuan Yizheng couldn't help but joked.
Because Xuan Yizheng could guess that the eldest princess probably had the same idea at this time.
"Hehe, I paid attention to the eldest princess's polo team's game. Their strength is very average." Yin Xingtian naively thought that he was being praised and did not hear any sarcasm at all.
Xuan Yizhen stroked Yin Xing's smiling crescent-shaped eyebrows with his fingertips, and couldn't help laughing. He responded very cooperatively: "So you are so amazing."
Judging from the many polo matches played so far, Xuan Yizheng also felt that the eldest princess's polo team was of average strength, which was just right for a match against Yin Xing.
If Yin Xing could hear Xuan Yizheng's inner voice, his little heart would probably break into pieces that could never be put back together.
The hot wind blew across the bright yellow pearl curtain of the chariot. The palace maids passing by in the palace aisle retreated and fell silent. One of them raised her eyes and stared in the direction of the ceremonial team.
"Don't dawdle. There are many rules in the palace. If you say something you shouldn't say or see something you shouldn't see, you will be suspected of being a spy." The female official in charge taught in a deep voice, stepped forward to lead the way, and passed by another team of palace maids.
"Yes." The maids bowed their heads and followed suit, and the maid at the end made eye contact with another team of maids, not daring to be careless.
There were thousands of palace maids in every corner of the palace, so it was not difficult to hide from the spies, unless the empress killed them all.
At this time, Jiang Yun, who was in charge of patrolling, walked through the palace road, wiping his sweat with a handkerchief because of the heat. Suddenly, he felt that practicing polo with Yin Xing was much more leisurely than being a captain.
Because of the Empress's permission, Jiang Yun only had to accompany Yin Xing to play polo for half a day, and it was in the morning, so it was very cool.
There is no need to patrol the palace all day like now, Jiang Yun was full of complaints.
Unexpectedly, I ran into an acquaintance. Su Xuying was wearing court robes and a red and blue flying feather ornament around her neck. It was rare that she didn't have the vulgar air of a person who had made a fortune.
"Captain Jiang, our Yunzhang Division invites you." Although Su Xuying spoke seriously, her expression was lazy. She took out a golden fan from her sleeve and fanned herself, looking as if she was about to die of heat.
"No." Jiang Yun refused with a smile and raised his hand to signal the palace guards to go patrol first.
Su Xuying said helplessly: "She is your grandmother after all, why are you being so distant?"
Jiang Yun opened the water bag beside him and drank some water. He said slowly, "Don't think I don't know the reason. That old man is just trying to win me over because of my important status and position now."
Her mother never mentioned her maternal family, so Jiang Yun had always been an orphan, because that was what her mother told everyone.
In the past, Jiang Yun never had any doubts because he had never met any relatives from his mother's family. Even on his mother's death anniversary, they did not show up.
"I know what you are worried about, but Yun Zhangsi has always been fair and usually not so cruel. I think it's because your mother married a foreigner and asked you to change your surname that you are furious. Otherwise, you would not stand idly by. There must be a reason." Su Xuying advised.
"Stop, I don't want to hear about the past anymore, and don't waste your time trying to express your affection." Jiang Yun tied the water bag and didn't want to say more.
After saying this, Jiang Yun was about to leave the palace. Su Xuying had no choice but to say bluntly, "Master Yun, she wants your mother's relic, a blood jade pendant, as she is old."
Jiang Yun paused, then stepped forward, thinking that his mother's belongings had long been confiscated and taken away by the emperor's palace guards, so there was no such thing as a blood jade pendant.
In the afternoon, Jiang Yun returned to the medicine room to take a bath, and lay on a bamboo chair with the little girl to enjoy the cool air. He looked at Liu Ci who was obsessed with herbs, and lay aside with a pout and closed eyes, not wanting to disturb her.
Jiang Yun, who had originally just closed his eyes, vaguely thought of the distant past.
At that time, the jujube tree in the courtyard was not as tall as the wall. Liu Ci sat obediently under the tree, covering her eyes with her hands, counting in a childish voice, and playing hide-and-seek.
Jiang Yun quickly hid in the cabinet in his mother's room and accidentally saw a blood jade. The shape was very special, like a face without facial features, with some very strange words in it.
Then, Jiang Yun fainted. When he woke up, he was lying on his mother's couch. It was rare to see her look serious and worried.
In Jiang Yun's impression, his mother was a very gentle woman. Although she was very skilled in martial arts, she never lost her temper.
So Jiang Yun had a preconceived notion that his mother was let down or even betrayed by his father.
But now Jiang Yun knows that his mother is hiding many secrets, and his father may not know them either.
The wind blew, and Jiang Yun felt cool. He opened his eyes and saw Liu Ci. She was wiping her own and the little girl's faces with a handkerchief. There was a refreshing medicinal fragrance in the handkerchief, which was very refreshing.
Liu Ci raised his hand and touched the scar on Jiang Yun's neck, and said, "You frowned just now, what were you thinking about?"
"My mother has a very strange jade pendant. Today, the old lady sent someone to say that she wanted it, but I haven't seen it for many years." Jiang Yun hugged Liu Ci and asked her to lie down and rest.
"Is the strange jade pendant you mentioned shaped like a face without facial features?" Liu Ci rested his head on Jiang Yun's shoulder, helping him think about his memories.
Jiang Yun asked doubtfully, "Have you seen it too?"
Liu Ci, concerned about the sleeping little girl, whispered, "No, I heard you mention seeing a ghost-face jade pendant before."
"Am I so naive?" Jiang Yun now thought that it should be just a jade pendant. Children have such rich imaginations.
"Well, you were in a coma for several days, and then I didn't dare to play hide-and-seek with you in the Jiang family's main courtyard." Liu Ci was very young at that time, and he thought that he was the one who made Jiang Yun possessed by evil spirits, and he blamed himself for a long time.
Now that I think about it, Jiang Yun probably caught a cold while sleeping in the cupboard.
Jiang Yun listened to Liu Ci's words and laughed extraordinarily wantonly. He leaned in and kissed her, teasing her, "I don't even remember anything about our childhood. Did you like me then?"
Liu Ci's ears felt hot, and she raised her hand to pinch Jiang Yun's ear, and replied resentfully: "When you were a child, you were naughty and arrogant, and especially annoying. I didn't play hide-and-seek with you, and you got angry and said you would never talk to me again."
Because of this sentence, Liu Ci cried bitterly when he was a child. However, a few days later, Jiang Yun came to play with him, as if nothing had happened.
Jiang Yun felt a little embarrassed by these words. He thought that it was possible that he didn't like Liu Ci ignoring him before and was so angry that he said some childish words.
But Liu Ci remembered it so clearly that it really made people feel embarrassed.
This is probably the disadvantage of green plums.
As the two of them lay on the couch and talked in low voices, the heat outside the window gradually dissipated.
It was dusk, the setting sun was blood-red, and the wind blew the curtains from the high platform of the majestic palace, making it quite cool.
Yin Xing had known for a long time that there was such a high platform in the palace, but he didn't know that there was a simple elevator connected by iron chains inside!
"This used to be an observatory. It's not only the highest point in the palace, but also the highest point in the entire capital. It's cooler at night than in other palaces." Xuan Yizheng walked with Yin Xing, guiding her as they looked out at the lights of the night market in the capital.
"So high!" Yin Xing exclaimed as he held Xuan Yizheng's hand tightly.
Xuan Yizhen calmly looked down at the tiny palace complex and said calmly, "Throughout history, emperors have always loved the supreme position."
Yin Xing felt particularly comfortable in the night breeze. He tilted his head to look at Xuan Yizhen, only to notice a glimmer of contempt in her quiet eyes. He hesitated and asked, "Do you like it too, Yizhen?"
"Well, so I also want you to see the scenery from above." Xuan Yizheng raised his hand to adjust Yin Xing's flying hairband, half-embraced her in his arms, snuggled up to her, and murmured.
"I still prefer to see Xuan Yizhen who is right in front of me." Yin Xing sniffed the familiar cool fragrance and spoke with a hot face.
Hearing this, Xuan Yizhen chuckled and said, "Why are you so sweet?"
Yin Xingtan kissed the thin lips in front of him and responded playfully: "No additives, pure natural!"
The sound of the wind from above covered Xuan Yizheng's soft laughter, but Yin Xing could tell what she was saying from the shape of her lips.
"Let's talk about it after we win the game." Yin Xing refused with a blush.
"Okay." Xuan Yizheng raised his hand and pinched Yin Xing's cheek with resentment, then sat down on the couch with her and raised his hand to turn off the night light.
Originally, Yin Xing was a little confused and panicked because he was worried that Xuan Yizhen would insist on doing it.
The problem is, this is outdoors!
But when Xuan Yizheng asked Yin Xing to appreciate the scenery with him, he found that the moon was not very round tonight, but the stars in the sky were particularly bright and clear.
Yin Xing awkwardly scratched the ground with his toes as he lay with Xuan Yizhen, gazing at the stars and muttering, "I've never seen so many stars in my life."
Xuan Yizhen's eyes were fixed on Yin Xing, fascinated and devout, and he whispered softly, "I have never seen such bright stars before."
Like the sun, Xuan Yizhen wanted to hold it firmly in his palm.
"It's so beautiful. I wish I could take a picture with my phone." Yin Xing turned his head and met Xuan Yizheng's clear and beautiful eyes, his voice gradually becoming weaker.
Beautiful, but Xuan Yizheng is more beautiful. Even in the night, her beauty is still stunning.
"What's a cell phone?" Xuan Yizheng was very close to Yin Xing, his noses almost touching hers, but he still felt greedily it wasn't enough, and his fingertips wrapped around her hairband, getting tighter and tighter.
The night breeze ruffled Xuan Yizhen's hair, bringing with it a familiar fragrance. Yin Xing swallowed and said calmly, "A mobile phone is a way to preserve what you see with your eyes forever."
Xuan Yizhen blinked lightly, his long, slender eyelashes, fine, straight and dense, fluttering softly, and he replied thoughtfully: "If I could choose something to keep forever, it would be you."
"Why?" Yin Xing's heart was beating fast and he could hardly restrain the upward curl of his lips.
"Of course it's because I like you, so what about you?" Xuan Yizheng loosened Yin Xing's hairband with his fingertips and placed it on her face, touching her especially gently.
"I can't say it." Yin Xing buried his head in Xuan Yizheng's neck, feeling very embarrassed.
Xuan Yizhen took advantage of the situation and embraced Yin Xing, his fingertips touching her belt, eager to make a move, his thin lips pressed against her earlobe, and he spoke in a voice that seemed to be bewitching: "What's there to be unable to say? As long as you want, I can give you anything."
Yin Xing looked up at Xuan Yizhen's clear and pure eyes, not doubting her words at all, and leaned in closer and said, "Then I want Yizhen..."
"Okay, I promise you." Xuan Yizheng leaned closer and kissed Yin Xing before saying the next words.
"Hmm!" Yin Xing opened his round eyes wide and looked at Xuan Yizheng's beautiful face so close to him, thinking that she was so bad.
But when Yin Xing tasted the softness and fieryness of the cool and refreshing fragrance, he suddenly couldn't say anything.
When his breathing became disordered, Xuan Yizhen gently stepped away, raised his hand to hold Yin Xing's hand, and wandered around freely, his beautiful eyes staring intently, and said, "Where do you want to start?"
Yin Xing awkwardly turned his head to avoid Xuan Yizheng's gaze, and then his chin was pinched, and he faced her eyes full of affection, like a surging lake.
Obviously, it was impossible to remain unscathed in this situation, so Yin Xing had no choice but to lean over to Xuan Yizheng, who was looking down from above, carefully, as if he was trying to pick the moon from the sky, fearing that she would be stained with dust and covered in haze.
