The Legend of the Loved One

Chapter 24

The carriage left Yong'an Street and walked for more than half an hour. Chu Xue was very surprised, but seeing that Song Chen just closed his eyes and rested, she couldn't ask, so she had to raise the curtain of the carriage to see.

The scene outside the car surprised her a bit. They had already left the bustling city. Looking around, except for the lanterns in front of the car, there were only two or three lights in the distance. It seemed that they had reached the outskirts of the city.

Chu Xue was full of doubts. It was almost halfway through Xu Shi, and he was not in a hurry to go back to the house, but he was going out of the city. Where was he going?

Just when she was wondering, the carriage stopped, and Lu Fang's voice came from outside the car, "Master, madam, we are here, please get out of the carriage."

Song Chen, who had been recuperating all this time, opened his eyes, took her by the hand and got out of the car.

Although it is in the suburbs, but fortunately the moonlight is good, so the outline of the surroundings can be seen clearly. Chu Xue looked around and found that they were on a flat hillside, but there was no other scenery except for the dry grass under their feet. , she couldn't help being even more puzzled, could it be that they walked for more than half an hour to enjoy the moon?
"Master, what are we doing here?" She finally couldn't help asking him.

Seeing that Song Chen didn't answer anything, he just turned around and asked Lu Fang, "Are you all ready?"

"Yes."

"Then let's get started."

He took her a few steps forward.The mountain wind was a bit cold, he wrapped her arms around her waist, and put her into his spacious cloak.

She could only obediently be embraced by him, waiting for the "beginning" in his mouth.

Suddenly, Lu Fang whistled loudly, and a moment later there was a cannon from the opposite hillside, and then, just like on New Year's Eve, huge fireworks burst into the sky.

Chu Xue was stunned, and it wasn't until those eye-catching flowers bloomed and closed several times that she came back to her senses and asked incredulously, "Master brought me here just to watch the fireworks?"

"Well," Song Chen said lightly, turned his head and looked around, and said inexplicably, "Otherwise, is there anything else to see here?"

"Master..." She looked up at him, she wanted to say a lot, but she didn't know where to start.

There was a smile in his eyes, and he raised his chin lightly, "Look at the sky first, I have been preparing in a hurry for a few days, I wonder if it will be better than New Year's Eve."

She leaned against his chest and said nothing, just quietly watching the fireworks in the night sky.

The two were quiet for a while, and he said softly above her head: "I will make up for the fireworks you owed in the past. From now on, every year on the Lantern Festival, no matter where we are, we will find a place like this. place," the voice stopped, and he continued: "This is yours alone."

This is yours alone.

The last sentence caught her ears, and her eyes were a little wet.

From the day she decided to marry him, she knew that this man was not hers alone. She was willing to be a concubine because she really didn't want to embarrass her parents. The daughter disappeared, leaving no trace in this world.And there will be no more in the future.How could she not repay such a kindness?

So even though she had no feelings for Song Chen at that time, she was still willing to marry him and become one of his many women.At that time, she thought, since he likes her appearance, she will serve him with her appearance, and don't be tempted if she can't be tempted.

Because people are selfish, once they are tempted, they will want to take it for themselves, but how can he be taken for themselves by any woman?

But when she was by his side, he treated her so well, it could be called a "favor", so she slowly wavered. She tried to restrain it, but is there anyone in the world who can restrain this kind of emotion?

So she still loves it.

Even if one day will be sad.

Until just now he said, this is yours alone.For a moment, she actually wanted to ask him, will you be mine alone?

But she didn't ask.She knew that this question was ridiculous, and she was only his side concubine now, and it was very likely that one day, he would occupy that position, and he would have more young and beautiful women.And she will only grow old slowly.

After a while, he asked, "Why didn't you speak? Are you staring blankly again?"

She returned to her senses and nodded slightly.

Forget it, don't think about it, and grasp the present.

It's enough to meet you in this life, don't ask extravagantly, I only hope that when my color fades, you still remember the gentleness of today.

There are not as many fireworks tonight as on New Year's Eve, and they are all set off after two quarters of an hour.After all, the mountain road is difficult, and it will take a lot of manpower to transport it from the Paofang in the western suburbs of the city to the hillside in the eastern suburbs of the city, not to mention that it belongs to her alone, which is enough.

The surroundings returned to silence, but the two still stood hugging each other. After a while, Song Chenfang said, "It's cold, let's go back."

"Ah."

Her heart was actually filled to the brim, but she could only respond in such a simple way for the time being.

After a while, the two got into the carriage, and the carriage returned to the city along the way it came.

Although she had been hiding in his cloak just now, it was in the wilderness after all. Because of the previous trips, there was no hand stove prepared for this trip. Her hands were a little cold. He held them over and warmed them with his own body temperature. .

"Where else is it cold?" he asked.

Although there was a small heater in the car, it couldn't get warm for a while because I just got into the car.

She nodded, "The legs and feet are also cold, it seems that the whole body is a little cold."

Although it is true, it is a bit coquettish.

He smiled, and simply hugged the whole person onto his lap.

She hid in his cloak again and leaned into his arms contentedly.

She was obedient and quiet in his arms, which softened his heart, and he asked softly, "What's the matter now, why don't you talk?"

She was silent for a while, then said softly: "It's really good for the lord to treat my concubine."

He sighed softly, "I will be very busy in the future, and I won't have much time to accompany you for about three or four months, so I can only take advantage of this one night to stay together. If I am negligent in the next few months, I hope the beauty will not complain."

She was amused, stretched out a finger to gently stroke his chin, and said softly: "I have no complaints, I will always wait for the lord, so the lord can go to work with peace of mind."

Her gentle touch made his heart itch, and he couldn't help but bow his head to kiss.

Hengwang Mansion.

Ding Xiang walked back to Danwei Garden for the fourth time and reported to Xu Jinhe who was still dressed up, "Princess, the concierge said that the prince has not returned to the residence."

Xu Jinhe's face showed hidden worries, "It's late, and I haven't come back yet, where did the prince go?"

Ding Xiang hurriedly comforted, "Princess, don't worry, since the prince is going to observe the people's sentiments, he must be in the city. Our Yanzhou has always been safe and sound, and besides, the prince is accompanied by Lu Fang, so nothing will happen."

Xu Jinhe sighed, and waved towards Ding Xiang, "Go to the porter and watch, when the prince returns to the mansion, come back."

"Yes." Ding Xiang bowed her head and exited, and went back to the concierge of the palace.

Seeing that they had already entered the city, the carriage was calm again. The two got up, and Chu Xue tidied herself up a little. Seeing that Song Chen had already taken care of herself, she was afraid that he would forget about going to Danwei Garden tonight, so she reminded her softly. He said, "The prince will go back to the mansion later, let's go to the princess."

Song Chen pressed her back into his arms, pinched her face, and jokingly said: "Empty me and push me out, you are such a little fairy."

It was the first time she heard him say such a thing, her tone was like those street gangsters, she blushed abnormally, and said angrily: "Obviously the prince wanted it, but you still say that about him."

"Then who seduced me first?" He stared into her eyes and gritted his teeth lightly.

She turned her gaze away from him, "There's no way I can be seduced by a concubine, every time it's you, the prince, just hug and hug..." She was embarrassed to continue.

"Who told Xue'er to be too alluring, it's always hard to control her emotions."

He was going to bite her ear again.

Covering his lips with her bare hands, she pursed her lips and smiled.

While speaking, the carriage had already entered the gate of the mansion, and Ding Xiang, who was waiting, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the person coming back, and saluted in front of the carriage, "The prince is finally back, the princess has been waiting for you."

Hearing Song Chen hum in the car, he said calmly, "I'll be there in a while."

Ding Xiangzun said yes, but she was a little surprised, she thought the prince would go directly, why would it take a while?

She was wondering, but she heard the prince in the carriage order, "Go to Wantang Court." Then the carriage went straight forward.

Do you still want to go to Wantang Garden at this late hour?Ding Xiang thought for a while, and suddenly realized, could it be that the prince went out to play with that master tonight, and now he wants to send him back first?
The loyal servant girl hastened to report to her master.

After listening to Ding Xiang's words, Xu Jinhe's expression turned ugly. Did he go with that woman again?It's just one night, so I can't bear to part with her!That woman pestered him until he came back so late, but she didn't take herself seriously as a princess!

Since you are so reluctant, why don't you just go to spend the night?It's not that I haven't done it before, I came here after playing enough because I feel that I have given myself enough face!
The anger rolling in his chest was about to burst into flames, but it disappeared suddenly after hearing the communication from outside the door. Xu Jinhe quickly suppressed the anger in his eyes, and went outside to greet her husband.

"My lord is back." Her voice quickly returned to gentleness.

"Well, please wait for a long time, princess." Song Chen was respectful as usual, without any emotion.

"This is what a concubine should do." She smiled, and was about to go forward to change his clothes, and said considerately by the way: "Does the lord want to take a bath?"

"Is the water ready?"

"Yes."

"Then go there, you take off your makeup first, you don't have to come and serve."

She stopped before she was about to go, bowed her head and said, "Yes."

It's been 12 years, you really don't have any feelings for me other than respect, and you don't even want me to be close to you, do you?

But you are the only husband in my life, the biggest concern in my heart.

In fact, sometimes, she really envied that woman, why could she win his heart so easily, why?
The luxurious Princess Heng sighed silently, and went to the mirror to remove her makeup.
