Looking at each other, Su Mianyue's words gently brushed past Ji Xun's heart like feathers, causing the heart, which had been immersed in the cold, to jump again.
Holding Su Mianyue's hand back, the pain in Ji Xun's eyes faded and he replied, "Okay, we will live and die together in this life."
Happiness is so simple. The people who love each other hold hands and look at each other. All the troubles in the world will disappear with the wind.
The two of them did not speak again, but they did not feel awkward because of it. They hugged Su Mianyue in their arms and smelled the fragrance in her hair. Ji Xun slowly closed his eyes.
This period of time was really tiring, not only for the matters of the vassal king, but also for the troublesome officials in the court who could not be completely controlled by Ji Xun.
But what made Ji Xun most tired was that after revenge, he suddenly felt that the motivation that had been supporting him to live was not so strong. After so many years of holding back, he was relieved in an instant. He also wanted to take a good rest. However, apart from Su Mianyue, Ji Xun really didn't know where to relax.
No matter how close they were to Junn Buhui, there were endless business matters at every meeting, and Junn Buhui's hatred was still unresolved.
A stick of incense was sent to the palace by Ji Xun, who had already ordered people to prepare supper. According to Su Mianyue's habit, supper must be light to maintain a perfect figure, so Ji Xun only needed some porridge and vegetables, which was really not common in the palace.
"This porridge smells really good." After trying it with a silver needle and making sure it's okay, Su Mianyue first filled a bowl for Ji Xun and then another for himself. Before he could sit down, he took a sip and licked the remaining porridge on his lips with satisfaction.
Seeing Su Mianyue's lazy look like a cat, Ji Xun's eyes were full of smiles and waved to the waiter to go down, unwilling to be disturbed by their world.
"Eat some small dishes. They are light and not afraid of gaining weight." Ji Xun served Su Mianyue dishes and was willing to serve a woman.
"I'm not afraid of being fat." After glaring at Ji Xun, Su Mianyue took a bite of crispy cold lotus root and said, "If you eat too late, you will accumulate food and burden your internal organs. If you do this for a long time, you will have problems with your body. Sister is living so well now. Even if you can't live a hundred years, you will have to live until your temples are gray. Otherwise, wouldn't you be sorry for god's second life?"
"Second life?" Ji Xun looked at Su Mianyue in confusion.
Knowing that he had let it slip, Su Mianyue smiled and explained, "Since I left the Tianlan palace, I am the new Su Mianyue. Isn't that a second life?"
Ji Xun nodded when she heard that. Su Mianyue was right to say that.
It was just that he vaguely felt that Su Mianyue was hiding it from him again, but as long as Su Mianyue's heart was real to him, nothing else mattered. Ji Xun believed that if there was a need, Su Mianyue would tell him the truth.
The two of them stopped talking and were probably starving. Su Mianyue ate two and a half bowls of porridge and Ji Xun ate two more steamed buns.
Touching her bulging belly, Su Mianyue looked at Ji Xun and smiled, "Accompany me for a walk under the moon. I couldn't control myself just now."
"Afraid your man won't be able to support you?" Ji Xun stood up with a smile and walked out with Su Mianyue's hand. Ji Xun was helpless to eat cat food whenever he met something he didn't like. He whispered in Su Mianyue's ear, "In fact, it's better for women to be fat. Isn't it the old saying that rounder women are better off?"
"Then you go find wang fu's woman. I just like to make ribs shelves. I like to make spider essence." Su Mianyue snorted and pretended to pull her hand back, but Ji Xun held it tightly. Su Mianyue, who had not pulled it out several times, gave up on himself. If Ji Xun really let her go, it would be awkward.
Strolling in the courtyard, the two of them walked slowly with their fingers tightly clasped. Occasionally, they looked up at the stars under the night sky and said some nonsensical things.
"Yu, at the banquet today, there were a lot of young girls who wanted to be your woman. Although their voices were very low, I still heard them." Su Mianyue suddenly mentioned the banquet, but only said what a woman in love should say.
Tonight, let them forget their enemies for the time being and just be a loving couple.
"I didn't hear it. They didn't want to be my Ji Xun's woman, they wanted to ride with their king's companion to shine on the family fortune." Ji Xun snorted coldly and looked at Su Mianyue, "There is only Su Mianyue in this world. When I was in the worst state of my life, he didn't mind me being dirty and was willing to talk to me. He even invited me to dinner. So from then on, it was destined that I, Ji Xun, was Su Mianyue's man. It was called a meal of gratitude."
Leaning against Ji Xun's shoulder, Su Mianyue looked up and asked, "According to you, if the person who invited you to dinner was someone else, then you would marry someone else?"
"They're not Su Mianyue." Ji Xun answered as expected.
"Yu, do you like Su Mianyue or me?" Su Mianyue suddenly stopped, holding Ji Xun's hand and pestering him for a clear answer.
Ji Xun was stunned. Looking at Su Mianyue's more serious expression, he forced himself to smile and replied, "Su Mianyue is you. You are Su Mianyue."
"Yu, what if I wasn't Su Mianyue? What if Su Mianyue wasn't me? What would you do? Who would you like?" Su Mianyue stubbornly asked, knowing that she could only be Su Mianyue in this life, but still hoping to get the answer she wanted.
After all, Su Mianyue had no memory of the former lord. What she feared most was that Ji Xun knew the former lord, and the woman Ji Xun loved in his heart was the former lord, not her.
Ji Xun seemed to understand something when he saw Su Mianyue looking at him very seriously, but his thoughts were too fast for him to catch them. He could only hold Su Mianyue's hand and sigh: "Yue, I may be grateful for that meal. I love you because you are unique. Whether you are Su Mianyue or zhang mianyue, I will like you. On the contrary, what does Su Mianyue have to do with me?"
Ji Xun said it was a little confusing, but Su Mianyue still understood what he meant.
Ji Xun loved that she was not the original owner, and this answer made Su Mianyue very happy.
Perhaps this was the case with women in love, who liked to be more serious and had to suffer losses and gains, and Su Mianyue's mind automatically adjusted to sleep mode when it came to Ji Xun.
Standing on tiptoe and kissing Ji Xun's lips, Su Mianyue expressed her joy in her own way.
But this time, Ji Xun didn't give Su Mianyue the chance to leave. He held her back tightly and responded to the kiss that should have been light.
Under the moonlight, the figures of the two men were as lingering as their original statues. The hidden guards who were hidden in the shadows all consciously retreated and did not allow any palace people to approach them.
I don't know how long they kissed each other, but when they looked at each other, their lips were all red and swollen. Su Mianyue burst out laughing and pointed at Ji Xun's chest, "Yu, you only have me here."
"Thank you for coming in." Holding Su Mianyue's hand against his chest, Ji Xun replied softly.
Tender and affectionate, there is no need to use words to express their love for each other. At this moment, embracing each other is undoubtedly the happiest thing for them, and everything in the world becomes eternal.
