swear not to be concubine

Chapter 98

Xu Zhongxuan looked at Jian Yan's eyes full of tears, and for a moment, he only felt that her eyes were shining in the candlelight in the room, so he couldn't miss her eyes at all.

"Jian Yan," he called her name in a hoarse voice, and asked her, "Do you know what you just said?"

Jian Yan was still crying silently and did not answer.

She felt that she really gave up tonight and lost all her face and confidence.

But just throw it away, let her do whatever she wants tonight.Even if she will be laughed at by Xu Zhongxuan later, at least at this moment, she has spoken out all the thoughts in her heart, even if she is old in the future, at the moment when she is about to close her eyes, she will not feel any regrets when she recalls her life up.

So she nodded and replied, "Yes.

"You don't regret it?" The deep voice asked again.

Jian Yan looked at Xu Zhongxuan in a little surprise, and didn't quite understand the meaning of his words, so she asked back: "What do I regret?"

"Jian Yan," Xu Zhongxuan's eyes were heavy, like a whirlpool that was about to pull her whole body and mind into it, and she would never be able to get out, "You said such a thing, if I accept your heart now, Then I will not let go until I die. I will give you one last chance, you come and tell me, will you regret saying what you just said to me? "

Jian Yan smiled wryly in her heart.Does he think it's fun to say such things casually?Even though I have always thought that I am not a very conservative person, but I am not so open as to say the three words "I love you" to others casually.

She was about to tell Xu Zhongxuan what she thought in her heart, but she only said the word "I", Xu Zhongxuan suddenly reached out and hugged her tightly in his arms, without giving her a chance to say the second word Come.

"It's late," his scorching breath hit her ear, and every word he said went straight into her heart through her ears, "Jian Yan, you have no chance to go back on your word, because I accepted your promise." Heart. Then listen carefully, from now on, even if I die, I will not let you go. You have to be mentally prepared for this."

Jian Yan was stunned at first, but after that, tears welled up in her eyelashes again.

Only this time, she wept with joy.

He understood her, and he responded.Still such a deep response.

She immediately stretched out her hand, wrapped her arms around his waist, buried her head in his arms, and said in a low voice: "Xu Zhongxuan, I'm already mentally prepared for this. I'm the same, unless I die, Otherwise, I won't leave you."

Hearing this, Xu Zhongxuan tightened his arms suddenly, wishing to integrate her whole body into his blood, into his bone marrow. From then on, no matter when and where, she would be inseparable from him.

"Jian Yan, Jian Yan." He called her name in a low voice like a sigh, while kissing her small earlobe.Then he cupped her face in both hands, bowed his head and kissed her lips.

Jian Yan didn't push him away, instead she tactfully agreed with him.

It was different from the first kiss. At that time, Jian Yan's heart was only full of sadness, but at this moment, her heart was only full of sweetness.

When the mind being kissed was a little confused, she was thinking in a trance, is this the feeling of being in love with each other?It's really, really beautiful.

Xu Zhongxuan kissed her for a long time, until her lips were slightly swollen and moist, but he was still reluctant to leave, just lingering on the corner of her lips, whispering nonstop: "Jian Yan , I love you."

Only at this moment did he realize that he really loved her to the bone.

The joy at this moment is much stronger than the joy of being in the third place, being an extremely human minister, and holding boundless power.

At this moment, he wished he could take out the heart in his chest, kneel down humblely in front of her, and hold his hands high in front of her.But at this moment, he finally understands why there are princes in Fenghuo opera, who ride the world of mortals and only smile for the beauty.

When you love someone, you wish you could give her the best in the world.But he was still worried that she would look down on her and be unhappy.

"Jian Yan, Jian Yan..."

He kept kissing the corners of her lips, calling her name over and over again as if in a daze.And every time he yelled, the flower in his heart would bloom a little bit.Until later, the heart flower bloomed tremblingly like that, bright and bright, only reflecting his eyes like a lake full of stars, revealing a gentle light.

And Jian Yan's face became more and more red when she was called out by his murmurs.In the end, she couldn't help it, reached out her hand and gently pinched his arm, and said with a little annoyance, "Are you still finished?"

It's just that no matter how annoyed she is, in Xu Zhongxuan's eyes, she will only think that she is especially cute and delicate when she is angry and slightly angry.

When you love someone, no matter what she has is always the best.

Xu Zhongxuan grabbed the hand she was twisting his arm, and held it tightly in his palm, with a gentle smile on his face: "Don't you like me kissing you like this?"

Yin took her hand again and put it on his lips, kissing each fingertip delicately.

Jian Yan felt a tingling sensation suddenly spread from her fingertips to her heart, which made her whole body tremble.

She immediately withdrew her hand, tightly gathered it in the sleeve, and refused to stretch it out again.The surface is even hotter, as if it is about to burn.

She was still shy in her heart, so she turned her head away, unwilling to look at Xu Zhongxuan again, and bit her lower lip tightly.

But Xu Zhongxuan stretched out his hand, held her face, turned her face back and looked at him.Seeing the redder lower lip bitten by her again, he couldn't help but dimmed his eyes again, and his voice became hoarse: "If you bite your own lip like this again, I won't be able to help it." want to kiss you again."

Jane Yan: ...

Is this still the cold and indifferent Xu Zhongxuan Xu Shilang?
So she glared at him and reprimanded lightly, "Shameless."

But Xu Zhongxuan listened to her light reprimand, but he was not ashamed, instead he smiled proudly: "I'm only shameless in front of you, okay?"

Hello my sister!

Jian Yan wished she could just kick him out.

Why is he now like a twisted candy, just hugging her, clinging to her, unable to pull her off?
It's just that although she was annoyed on the surface, she was still happy in her heart.

At this time Xu Zhongxuan moved the armchair behind the desk again, hugged her and sat in the chair, while he sat on the embroidered pier, leaned over and put her right leg on his own, and then moved her Roll up her trousers.

Jian Yan was about to struggle, but Xu Zhongxuan stretched out his hand to stop her: "Don't move. You fell just now, I can see how badly you fell."

The lotus-colored trousers were rolled up, revealing the graceful calf of Huai Shuang Saixue.And further up, there was a shocking black cyan on the snow-white knee.

Xu Zhongxuan frowned slightly, stretched out his hand and pressed it lightly, raised his head and asked Jian Yan softly: "Does it hurt?"

Naturally there is some pain.But Jian Yan didn't want him to worry, so she shook her head and said, "It doesn't hurt."

Xu Zhongxuan naturally knew she was lying.

He carefully put her legs down again, then got up and opened the curtain and walked out.

Jian Yan could hear him ordering Qingzhu to get a pot of hot water, and then find ointment for reducing swelling and blood stasis.Then he came in again, sat on the embroidered pier, and coaxed her like a child: "It's okay, it won't hurt in a while."

Jian Yan almost laughed.

What is a little bruise like this?Just bear it and it will pass.But he was so nervous.

Qingzhu moved very quickly.But after a while, a pot of hot water came in, and there was a clean white towel in it.He brought over another white porcelain blue and white box, saying that it contained ointment for reducing swelling and blood stasis.

Xu Zhongxuan asked her to put down these things and go out.Qingzhu answered yes, turned around and opened the curtain to go out.

Xu Miaojin was waiting outside.Seeing Qingzhu come out, he hurriedly motioned her to follow him into Dongcijian's bedroom, and then asked in a low voice: "How are my eldest brother and sister Yan doing now?"

The smile on Qingzhu's face couldn't be concealed: "It's good. It seems that the eldest son and the cousin girl have settled down. Now the eldest son is asking for water and ointment for reducing swelling and blood stasis. I think it hurts Cousin fell down a little earlier, and I have to personally apply the ointment for her."

Xu Miaojin groaned, and sighed again: "It's really not easy for me to be a younger sister. I don't have time to worry about myself, but I only worry about the two of them."

Qing Zhu pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Elder Master is happy, Miss, are you happy too?"

Xu Miaojin nodded.Then he covered his mouth and yawned a little bit unbearably, and said, "Forget it, ignore the two of them. After all, this will settle down, and I may have to talk about when. I can't afford it." It's time to go to bed first. You go and tell Xing'er, let her treat Bai Wei well, and don't let her wait there."

Qingzhu smiled and said: "Girl, you can rest assured and go to sleep. Xing'er and I will take care of everything."

Xu Miaojin nodded, then let Qingzhu make the bed and went to bed by herself.

In the study room in Xici Room, Xu Zhongxuan was wringing the towel, and stretched out his hand to test whether the towel was hot, and then pressed the towel on the bruised spot on Jian Yan's knee.

The warm feeling rose from her knees, and Jian Yan only felt very comfortable.

She looked at Xu Zhongxuan who bent over and lowered his head and focused on covering her knees with a towel, and couldn't help laughing: "I can't see that Xu Shilang is also very good at serving people."

Xu Zhongxuan looked up at her with a gentle smile in his eyes.

"I didn't know how to serve people in the past, but for you, I will learn how to serve people in the future."

Jian Yan was slightly taken aback.

For a person in such a high position as him, I'm afraid someone is always by his side to take care of everything in his daily life.But now he would say such things to her.And looking at his appearance, he is clearly serious, not just talking to make her happy.

"Xu Zhongxuan," she sighed with emotion, "You will pamper me so lawlessly."

Xu Zhongxuan smiled and said nothing.I only think in my heart, I only hope that you will show your truest disposition in front of me from now on.No matter how delicate and arrogant your true temperament is, I will be content with it.

After applying a hot towel to the bruise on Jian Yan's knee, Xu Zhongxuan took the porcelain box again, opened the lid, dug a lump of ointment, and slowly rubbed the bruise on Jian Yan's knee Grinding on top.

The ointment was smeared on her knees, it was cold at first, and Jian Yan shivered for a while, but after being slowly rubbed by Xu Zhongxuan, it gradually became warmer, very comfortable.

While Xu Zhongxuan was rubbing the ointment on her knee with his hand, he raised his head and discussed with her: "I will send a matchmaker to propose marriage to your mother on the next day of rest, and then wait for you to finish guarding your father." Let’s get married, okay? I remember that your father’s filial piety should be in August next year? August is full of sweet-scented osmanthus flowers in the city, and it’s neither hot nor cold, so it’s a good time to get married.”

Jian Yan didn't expect that he would suddenly bring up this matter, she slightly opened her eyes wide and looked at him.

Xu Zhongxuan leaned over, kissed her lightly on the forehead, and then said with a smile: "It's my wife. The only wife in my life."

He was worried that she would think wrong, and only thought that he sent a matchmaker to propose marriage to her mother just to make her a concubine.

Jian Yan's face turned red all of a sudden.

Does he mean to propose marriage?Although there were no roses, no diamond rings, and no kneeling on one knee, she still felt a heart in her chest beating excitedly.

"This, you can figure it out yourself." She felt ashamed for a moment, she lowered her head, but she didn't dare to look directly at Xu Zhongxuan.

When Xu Zhongxuan saw her shy appearance, the smile on his brows became more intense, and his heart was as soft as cotton that had been exposed to the sun, fluffy and soft.

After the ointment was ground, Xu Zhongxuan put down her trousers.Yin turned his head and looked out the window again, shook her hand, and said softly: "It's late at night, I'll take you back."

Jian Yan nodded.

Xu Zhongxuan helped her to stand up from the chair, and reached out to hold her hand tightly.

Jian Yan didn't break free and let him lead her.

Holding hands between boyfriend and girlfriend is really common in her opinion.Since Xu Zhongxuan is not taboo, why should she be taboo?

She let Xu Zhongxuan take her hand and opened the curtain on the green gauze cabinet and walked out.

Seeing this, Qing Zhu, who had been waiting in the open room, rushed forward to greet her.

She quickly glanced at the hands that were tightly held by the two of them, then she retracted her gaze and asked with a smile: "Biao girl is going back? Do you want a slave to see you off?"

But it's just a question.Seeing the Eldest Young Master like this, he will definitely send Biao Girl back in person.

Sure enough, she heard Xu Zhongxuan saying: "No need. You go and call Bai Wei to come over to serve, and ask Qi Sang to wait outside, and then light a hydrangea glass lamp and bring it here."

Qingzhu agreed, turned around and got ready to go.

Suddenly Bai Wei came over, Xing'er also lit up half of the candle in the hydrangea glazed lamp and brought it over.

Xu Zhongxuan first took the pink flowered cloak from Bai Wei's hand and put it on her, then put the hood on her carefully, then reached out to take the hydrangea glazed lantern from Xing'er's hand, and lifted it up by himself. He took Jian Yan's hand and was about to go out.

At this time, Qingzhu hurriedly hugged the black velvet crane cloak that Xu Zhongxuan usually wears most, and said respectfully: "Master, it's cold outside, you should put on this crane cloak."

Xu Zhongxuan did not reach out to pick up the crane cloak in Qingzhu's hand, but looked sideways at Jian Yan and smiled.

Jian Yan didn't know what he was laughing at first, but later realized that he meant to ask her to wear that crane cloak for him.

His face started to heat up again.If you don't want to wear it for him, think about how he put on a cloak for himself just now, so forget it, let him wear it.

So she took the black velvet crane cloak from Qingzhu's hand, but with a sullen face on purpose, she said coldly: "Raise your hand."

Xu Zhongxuan obediently raised his hand and asked her to wear this velvet crane cloak for himself, and then looked down at her fastening the belt on the front of the crane cloak for himself, the smile on his face was enough to melt the ice of countless winters up.

Bai Wei, Qing Zhu and Xing'er in the room all turned their heads silently at this moment, not wanting to see these two showing their affection here again.

At this time, Jian Yan hooked the two straps with two fingers, twisted them around a little, and tied a bow very easily.Then she tilted her head to look at it again, and she looked up a little complacently and said to Xu Zhongxuan: "Perfect."

As soon as he looked up, he immediately saw the starry sky in Xu Zhongxuan's eyes.

Jian Yan felt that her face was getting hot again, so she walked over Xu Zhongxuan first.

Xu Zhongxuan hurriedly picked up the hydrangea and glazed lanterns and chased after them.

The snow in the sky did not know when it started to fall.Like willow catkins, they are silently fluttering along with the north wind to everything in this world.

Even though the snow reflected light, and she carried the hydrangea glazed lamp in her hand, it was difficult to walk on the snow, and Jian Yan still walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Xu Zhongxuan was always thinking about the bruise on her knee, seeing that although she was being led by him, she still couldn't walk smoothly, so he stuffed the hydrangea glazed lamp into her hand, and turned his back to her. Looking at her, he knelt down slightly and said with a smile, "Come up."

He actually wanted to carry her back.

Jian Yan peeked at Bai Wei and Qi Sang walking ahead, she had no intention of turning around and looking back, so she smiled and pursed her lips, and without refusing, jumped onto Xu Zhongxuan's back.

His back is not very generous, it has the thinness of a scholar, but when she lay on his back and pressed her face against his back, even though she was wearing a thick winter coat, she could still feel his body Burning body temperature.

It's such a good feeling, warm, down-to-earth, and safe.

Jian Yan was mischievous again for a moment, stretched out her arms to embrace Xu Zhongxuan's neck, and asked with a smile in his ear: "Am I heavy?"

Xu Zhongxuan shook his head with a smile: "It's not heavy. Why have I tried my best to let them feed you good food for so long, but you've always been thin and haven't gained any flesh?"

Jian Yan took the hydrangea glazed lamp in one hand, twisted his ear with the other, and interrogated with a smile: "You still say it. Tell me honestly, what exactly did you say to my mother at that time, why did she Ever since you came back from the Jade Emperor Temple, you have been uncharacteristically raising me like a pig, feeding me so much delicious food every day?"

She interrogated like this, how dare Xu Zhongxuan not answer?

So he smiled and replied honestly: "Actually, I didn't say anything. It's just that I told her that if you are so thin, I'm afraid it will be bad for you to have children in the future, so I let her give it to you." Eat more, eat better."

Jian Yan gave a clear oh, and then stretched out her hand to tap his shoulder lightly, and a crisp voice rang out cheerfully: "Xu Zhongxuan, I'm still so young, I don't want to have a baby right now."

Xu Zhongxuan nodded yes, only saying that everything is up to you.

There is a wintersweet blooming by the pond just in time.The slanting branches with sparse shadows and the goose-yellow flowers reflect the pure white snow, which is as exquisite as crystal.The night wind blows, and the dark fragrance floats.

Xu Zhongxuan turned his head and smiled at Jian Yan: "Hold tight."

Then he supported Jian Yan on his back firmly with one hand, and went to pick the flowers on the wintersweet tree with the other.

He is very tall, and he easily picked off a wintersweet flower.After turning around and stuffing the wintersweet flower into Jian Yan's hand, he smiled again: "Don't throw it away like last time."

"Last time?" Jian Yan asked with some doubts, "What last time?"

"When the peach blossoms were blooming last time, your peach blossoms were only touched by me. Why did you put them on the edge of this pond with such disdain? Don't think I don't know."

Jian Yan suddenly realized, and remembered what happened that time.

"That's different." Her voice was clear and clear, no longer the soft voice that she deliberately pretended to be in the past, and it was full of the joy and joy of a girl, "I didn't love you at that time, and even loved you. I hate you. Because my mother saw that you have a high official position and wanted me to be your concubine, I naturally had no time to avoid you. I naturally look down on the things you handle, and I will definitely throw them away. "

"What about now?" Xu Zhongxuan turned his head and asked her with a smile, "Then do you still hate me now?"

In the faint snow light and orange candlelight, Jian Yan only felt that Xu Zhongxuan's side face was exquisite and picturesque.And the smile on his face at this moment is so gentle that she almost drowns in it.

He's still carrying her.He had kissed her like that before, and said that to her.He should really love her very much.

As long as Jian Yan thinks of this, she immediately feels soft like a puddle of water in her heart.

So she leaned slightly, put her lips against his ear, and said softly: "Of course I don't hate you now. Xu Zhongxuan, I love you now."

After a pause, she added: "I love you so much."

For a moment, Xu Zhongxuan felt that the joy in his heart was about to explode him.

Such Jian Yan, naughty and captivating, how could she teach him not to love her?
"Me too, I love you very much. I love you to the bone, and I don't want to be separated from you for a moment."

It's just that I don't want to separate anymore, and I have to separate in the end.Because the Lotus Fragrance Court has arrived.

Jian Yan was fine, after jumping off Xu Zhongxuan's back, she waved to him and planned to go into the yard.But Xu Zhongxuan suddenly grabbed her again, hugged her tightly in his arms, and was reluctant to let her go.

Jian Yan had no choice but to pat him on the back, and comforted him softly: "Good boy. We can meet again next time when you take a bath. Can you go back now? It's late at night, and I'm sleepy too .And if people see the two of us like this, it's really over."

"What's the matter?" Xu Zhongxuan said, "I will send a matchmaker to propose marriage to your mother around the next day of rest. Let's see who in Xu's house will dare to say a word about you behind your back. not good."

Jian Yan laughed.Such Xu Zhongxuan seems to be a child.

Because he comforted him a few more words, the two finally separated.Jian Yan took the wintersweet branch in her hand, waved at Xu Zhongxuan, and walked into the courtyard.After Xu Zhongxuan stood there for a while, he reluctantly turned around and went back.

When he came, Qi Sang had been walking in front, he didn't, and he didn't dare to look back at Xu Zhongxuan and Jian Yan.But after all, he still faintly heard what the two of them were talking about.At this time, Qi Sang held up a lantern in front of Xu Zhongxuan to illuminate the way, all the way he pursed his lips and suppressed a smile.

But Xu Zhongxuan saw it and asked him, "What are you laughing at?"

"This subordinate is really happy for Young Master," Qi Sang hurriedly suppressed the smile on his face, and replied respectfully.

When Xu Zhongxuan heard the words, there was a smile on his face.

He is also happy for himself.Thinking about it now, Jian Yan came across hundreds or even thousands of years, maybe it was because the two of them were destined to be together in the end.

So he thanked God for sending Jian Yan to his side.And for all the hardships she suffered before, he will naturally make up for them one by one in the days to come, so that she will no longer have to worry about her heart.
