I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 286 The Beauty Under the Moon
The night was as dark as water, and the huge Qianxi River finally returned to calm after a whole day of noise. The wanton sound of singing insects under the full moon came from the deep forest, shaking a little candle in the tent.

Li Ran sat side by side with Ji Le on the stone steps outside the camp, looking up at the moon in the mountains in the distance, the moonlight like mercury pouring down all the tenderness.The crimson clouds that occasionally float over make these tender feelings extremely warm, very much like Li Ran's embrace at this moment, Ji Le lies quietly in it, feeling the beating of Li Ran's fiery heart.

It's been a long time, the two of them haven't enjoyed the moon together like this for a long time.

Ever since they met in Qufu, fell in love in Zhengyi, and then met in Chu State, the two have jointly interpreted stories that many people have never experienced.After countless hardships and solitary thoughts, the two seem to have returned to the night at the Uncle Sun's Mansion in Qufu, sitting quietly on the steps together admiring the eternal full moon.

Perhaps, there is nothing warmer and more enjoyable than this in the world.

It was only then that Li Ran discovered that those poems in the "Book of Songs" that describe the joy of men and women, and the passages that are so eloquent and praiseworthy, seem to be true.

At least in this day and age, it is.

However, after many years, this kind of story has gradually evolved into a kind of unreachable fantasy.

After all, there is no room for single-minded infatuation in a busy world.

Only in this era of slow travel and horses can true love and sincerity be truly realized.

"Husband, do you still remember the night we met?"

Ji Le nestled against Li Ran's chest like this, and unconsciously recalled the night of that year.

Her eyes are still clear, like a handful of clear springs under the moonlight, with a little bit of crystal.

"Remember, of course."

The corners of Li Ran's mouth couldn't help but curl up, and continued to reply with a smile:

"My husband was still wondering at the time, how can there be a girl who stays up so late? I found out later that you are also a night owl."

"Night owl? What's that?"

Ji Le obviously didn't understand the title of night owl, so he immediately raised his head and asked.

"Oh, the so-called 'night owl' refers to people who often stay up late at night."

"My husband is because I am used to thinking in the quiet night, so I often stay up late at night. It's just that I never thought that you, a girl, have such a habit."

"Of course, what Leer was attracted to as a husband in the first place was not just because of this fellow."

Li Ran looked down at her eyes, at this moment, a pair of crystal light reflected in his eye frame.

"Oh? Then what else?"

Ji Le couldn't help asking curiously.

"I can't tell, maybe it's a feeling."

"Feel? What does it feel?"

Ji Le couldn't help but become more curious.

The women in her era, but those from a slightly richer family, mostly paid attention to "marriage with a clear matchmaker".So, I don't have much experience in falling in love.Even if it is like Jiyue, you may occasionally meet a "self-pleaser" by chance and coincidence, but after all, it is only Fengmaolingjiao who can finally get things done.

At this moment, Li Ran continued to explain to her:
"It's a kind of familiarity but strangeness. It's close at hand, but it's far away. It can't be guessed or grasped. Everything becomes empty because of this feeling, and everything changes because of this feeling. be pure."

Yes, the so-called "love at first sight" is this feeling.

"But... but Le'er doesn't feel this way?... Le'er just thinks that what you said at the township school assembly was very lofty and enlightening. So, I just feel that this person is different from others. It's different, so..."

Ji Le is obviously not a girl who is good at words. When she recalled her feelings at that time, she hesitated, just like the girl who only knew how to bow her head and blush but didn't know how to express it.

And when Li Ran suddenly appeared in her life, with his unique demeanor and his extraordinary remarks, he appeared in front of her, her curiosity-seeking mentality at that time can be imagined.

That's why she couldn't sleep at night and tried to get to know Li Ran over and over again, which led to the first chat between the two of them.

And this may have become another explanation for "love at first sight".

Apparently, Li Ran's weird and strong personal style back then was like a shot in the arm, causing Ji Le to have a very strong curiosity.And she is driven by this kind of curiosity, every move she makes will try to get close to it intentionally or unconsciously.

Such is the case with festival music.

"Hey, looking back on all these years, I couldn't see the bright moonlight with you again as I did back then."

"I'm really ashamed of my husband..."

Li Ran was silent for a while, and could not help but sigh.

"Hmph! Husband just remembers, but Le'er waited for a long time, did Husband just think of it?"

Ji Le muttered with a small mouth, her face was full of "humming" expression.

"Ah...it's true, I feel sorry for Madam, I will definitely reform my husband in the future!"

"Hmph, Le'er doesn't really believe what my husband said. Unless my husband will go back to Zhengyi with Le'er right now."

Ji Le took advantage of the victory to pursue and immediately proposed to return to Zhengyi.

There was anticipation in her eyes.

But this time, her expectations were not fulfilled.Li Ran looked at her with extremely firm eyes and said:

"Wait for this matter, my husband will definitely return to Zhengyi with my wife, without stopping for a while!"

After all, the matter of Zhu Fangcheng's swearing-in to master has not yet ended, if he leaves like this, the king of Chu may not agree easily.

Therefore, as long as he has not obtained the permission of the King of Chu, it is impossible for him to leave Chu State.

"it is good!"

"Then let's pull the hook!"

Ji Le immediately stretched out her finger, and Li Ran couldn't help laughing at her orderly appearance.

"The hook is the hook!"

"Come!"

Li Ran also smiled and stretched out his fingers, and the two checked in Chu State for the second time and made an agreement.

After the work was over, Jiyue danced in the moonlight with great excitement, and sometimes there was a mountain breeze, and Jiyue under the stars and moon was like a wind-moving elf, exquisite and noble.

Li Ran was fascinated for a moment, but remained silent for a long time.

Until today's event suddenly flashed in his mind, he was shocked suddenly, his face was full of guilt and bitterness.

"Husband, what's wrong with you?"

Ji Le turned her head and saw Li Ran's expression was wrong, so she hurriedly asked.

But seeing Li Ran, he just shook his head and didn't speak.

In his life, he seldom broke his promise, and since he traveled to the present, there has never been a precedent of breaking his promise.But this time, maybe it will really make him break the precept.

Sure enough, it is so difficult to preserve one's reputation in front of an invincible and unpredictable king.

Just like tonight, although he promised Ji Le, who knows if his promise can be fulfilled?And what kind of twists and turns will appear in the middle of this journey?

He didn't dare to continue thinking about it, and he didn't dare to face Ji Le, he always felt that he was ashamed of everyone's trust.

"Is your husband still thinking about Qingfeng?"

Ji Le saw Li Ran's thoughts at a glance, and his expression suddenly turned calm.

Li Ran looked at her, and after making a wry smile, he said:
"Actually... why did my husband ever think that he would become a person who broke his promise?"
