Yu Yan sucked in a breath of cold air. You speak so shamelessly, are you trying to stop her from sleeping peacefully?
In terms of being domineering, he was definitely number one. But in terms of his threatening skills, he was also number one under the heavens!
"Let's go."
He pulled at the string, grinned, and handed her the coil.
Yu Yan pursed her lips, raised the kite string and wanted to run forward.
"Wait."
he suddenly whispered.
When Yu Yan turned her head, she only saw a silver light flashing, her legs were cold, the long sleeves had been cut in half by the flexible sword, he walked over, with a swipe of her palm, the robes were ripped apart, and she gently nodded.
"Run, run faster."
Yu Yan looked at him and ran.
Yu Yan did not know how many times she longed for this kind of running, but she had always been hiding it quietly. She did not dare be rash, afraid that others would see it.
Now that she was in front of him, she insisted on running, running at full speed, using all her strength to run.
He carried the kite and watched her run off into the distance. With a wave of his hand, the zither flew with the wind, gradually soaring into the sky.
He held his hands behind his back and looked up, listening to her laugh, full of joy. This was the first time he realized that he was extremely happy to be able to make the girl he liked happy.
But to make Yu Yan happy, was another extremely simple and extremely difficult matter.
Yu Yan had already run far away with her laughter far away. He raised her eyes to look at the slender figure jumping in the grass, the fireflies surrounding her dancing in the air. The moonlight was like a veil that enveloped her slender body.
Yu Yan sat under the tree with the book in her hand in a daze for two days, from time to time she pursed her lips and snickered, doing whatever she was lazily doing.
Nian An and Nian En only knew that one night when she went out and returned, she was wearing Yulixiao's tattered long robe. They thought that she had gone to Yulixiao's room to serve him again, but they never thought that she and Yulixiao would go to the Moon Island that she had always wanted to go to before. However, seeing that she was in a good mood, he knew that she and Yulixiao had made up and were happy for her.
"Empress, I heard that the border is a great victory."
Nian An hurriedly came in from the outside with washed clothes, and said excitedly to her.
"Yes."
Yu Yan nodded absent-mindedly.
Seeing that she had no interest, Nian An put down the bowl in his hands and said loudly: "This is a victory battle for the Duke's men, and the Duke is still strong. Although I can't leave with my legs, my prestige still remains. When the enemies heard this, they were so scared that their legs became weak, and they obediently surrendered. "
"Don't say that when you're outside. If it's spread into the palace, it will bring him trouble." Yu Yan hurriedly reprimanded her.
Nian An smacked her lips, and laughed: "Aren't I just happy for the Empress? Prince is good, and the Empress is good. The richer the prince is, the richer the Empress is. "
"Then he's unlucky, and I'm unlucky as well." Yu Yan casually said.
"Do you really want me to be unlucky?" His hoarse voice came from outside the door.
Yu Yan smacked her lips and then went to open the door.
Originally, he was smiling merrily, but the moment he opened the door, he only saw Chen Yao, who was dressed in Xiluo Palace attire, pushing a wheelchair while wiping the sweat off his face with a handkerchief.
"Elder sister, Prince and I are going to the palace." Chen Yao looked up at her and smiled gently.
"Oh." Yu Yan nodded, she had already entered the palace, so why did she need the two of them to come over together to talk?
"Stay here, don't go out." Yulixiao looked at her and said solemnly.
"Yes." Yu Yan turned her face away, her expression turning cold.
"No rules." Yulixiao frowned and did not speak anymore. He let Chen Yao push him out of the residence.
Yu Yan saw that their figures were covered by dense flowers and branches. She then walked a few steps out and sat on the bamboo chair Ah Lang would sit on everyday. She leaned back on the chair and looked at the white clouds floating in the blue sky.
Birds fly, where are you going? Do you have a lover? Will your lover stay with you for the rest of your life?
The steady sound of footsteps came closer. Yu Yan raised her head and saw Ah Lang carrying two baskets and walking towards him with large strides.
Just now, he had gone to get Yu Yan some of the today's supplies. There was a fat chicken, a big green fish that was still flicking its tail, a piece of pork, ten eggs, and some radish cabbage.
Originally, Nian En and Nian An had been the ones to carry all these. After the Ah Lang came, Nian An was too lazy to do it and pushed the task to the honest Ah Lang. He was truly a taciturn man. If you asked him a question, he would only answer it once, and if he said one less word, he would say one less word. He would not waste another word.
"Miss." Ah Lang placed the two baskets on the stairs, cupped his fists towards her and bowed, then knocked on the door knocker.
Nian An and Nian En walked out quickly. While carrying the big basket, they discussed about how good the dishes were today.
"Esteemed Empress, look, it's good to have your grace, your food is even better than usual, Steward Fu knows how to read people's eyes the best."
"You too." Yu Yan covered her face with her hands and continued staring at the blue sky.
The two people who had entered the palace had been there for so long, but she still felt uncomfortable.
The noise and chattering entered the small courtyard. She held on to the armrest of the chair, wanting to casually walk around in front of the small courtyard. The flowers in the Pear Blossom Forest were withering, the petals scattered to the ground, turning into mud.
Her beauty was like spring, but she had already aged in a hurry.
Yu Yan took off the small copper mirror from her belt and held it up before her eyes. The birthmark on her forehead was as bright as day, and was as big as a pair of wings.
She remembered what Sulanqi had asked her. This birthmark was an inborn thing, could it be that he knew what secrets this birthmark contained? Was it a disease? Otherwise, why was she so lazy recently?
It wasn't an image of a fetus. She calculated her days and also secretly rubbed cold pills on her navel. Those were all for contraception!
Yu Yan did not want to take this risk, nor did she want to suffer this pain. Or rather, it could be said that she did not want to give birth to any children for Yulixiao! In the recent days, even though their relationship with Yulixiao had eased and appeared to be close, who knew what would happen in the future?
"Elder sister."
She lifted her eyes to see Qiu Xuanling, clad in a rouge dress. She was holding onto a pear flower embroidered dress as she ran towards her. With every step she took, she could see a pair of ivory embroidered shoes with a ball of pearls on them, swaying left and right as she ran.
She was too far away to see her expression, but she could guess from the expression on her face that Ye Mingyue must have a hatred for the cold and clear, and that Ye Sujian was definitely being extremely vicious.
Only Qiu Xuanling, no matter who he was to, would smile when he saw her, causing others to not be able to tell whether this smile was real or fake. Perhaps she was born in a daze, or maybe she had seen too much and pretended to be more genuine than anyone else.
Qiu Xuanling ran over and with a blush on her face, pulled her by the wrist and walked over.
"The three of us are in the middle of a game. Come on, then."
As for Yu Yan, she hated pretending to be humble, and wearing a mask to deal with others. Since she did not want to face the three of them, she pretended to be intimate and pulled Qiu Xuanling's hand, smiling as she said:
"I want to go as well, but I really can't go now."
"Elder sister, is something the matter?" Qiu Xuanling blinked her eyes and asked gently.
"Yeah, there are some things. Maybe another day."
Yu Yan nodded, her face still filled with smiles as she prepared to turn around and return.
"Is that so … Elder sister, when will you return my peacock to me? It really wasn't me who hurt it. I really like it. "
Qiu Xuanling hesitated for a bit, then asked her softly. Her big eyes were full of pleading look.
"Wait until it recovers." Yu Yan laughed, and replied casually.
Qiu Xuanling still wanted to say something, but the sound of footsteps came from the right side of the limestone road.
The two of them turned to look, only to see Steward Fu rushing over with a smile on his face, bowing respectfully to the two of them.
"Madam Xuan Ling, Miss Yu Yan."
"Steward Fu is sweating profusely, is there something wrong?" Qiu Xuanling smiled and asked him.
"Ah, I have something to talk to Miss Yu Yan about."
Steward Fu laughed and nodded, his gaze turned to Yu Yan as he handed over a letter.
"What is this?" Yu Yan took the letter in surprise. Someone else had sent a letter to her?
"This is Miss Nian En's letter." Steward Fu still smiled, he cupped his hands in a salute and turned to leave.
"Elder sister, Steward Fu really knows how to read other people's eyes. Even when Nian En's letter was delivered, my mother only asked a little girl to bring it in when she came to see me."
Qiu Xuanling sighed lightly, then curiously stretched her neck to look at the reduced value of the letter in her hands.
"Madam, you're joking. Perhaps you just passed by and brought them over."
Yu Yan glanced at the words on the letter, creased her eyebrows, and immediately confirmed that this was not for Nian En, but for her.
Nian En was alone, she had long since been sold to a slave. Moreover, these were clearly the words of a woman! Beautiful and neat! Amongst the women she recognized, only Lady Xu could write beautiful characters, but this was also not Lady Xu's handwriting.
Who was it? And why did he purposely say that it was for Nian En to personally deliver it to her?
She grasped the letter and pretended to be calm as she slowly walked into the Pear Blossom Forest. Stepping on the falling flowers, she didn't reach forward to touch the broken flowers, not in a hurry.
Qiu Xuanling turned her head and walked towards Ye Mingyue and Ye Sujian, her face full of suspicion. She twisted and turned the brocade handkerchief in her hands, to the point that she did not hear Ye Sujian calling her clearly.
Ye Sujian was getting impatient. She got over and patted her shoulders forcefully and said loudly:
"Profound Spirit, what are you looking at? I told you not to put your hot face on her. Look at her arrogant appearance!"
"Oh, I saw that Big Sister Yu Yan, the Prince really pampered her, even the little girl's letter was personally sent by Steward Fu. Sigh, whenever the Prince pampered me like that, it would be fine."
Qiu Xuanling retracted her gaze, slowly walked to the side of the table and sat down, then casually picked up a chess piece on the table.
This was a game that was popular among the ladies and ladies of large families, an octagonal chessboard. The four of them were on one side, using their own chess pieces to break apart the other's chess pieces. If they encountered any other colors, they would throw away their chess pieces.
There were only three of them, but one of them was empty, so they didn't have a good time. It was only then that Qiu Xuanling thought of Yu Yan.
"Pet?" Ye Mingyue looked up with a cold smile.
"I don't like it." Qiu Xuanling immediately sat up straight and waved her hands.
"Why do you look like a fence-sitter?" Ye Sujian reached out her hands in anger and slapped the back of her head.
Qiu Xuanling lowered her face and said softly: "Actually she's not bad, she just doesn't like to play with us."
"Then go and play with her." Ye Sujian became more and more impatient. She reached out her hand and pulled Qiu Xuanling off the round stone chair.
