Chapter 31:
Flowing fireflies in summer are not unusual, but Wei Jie rarely goes out at night, let alone seeing large scenes of floating fireflies.
He was not a child, let alone a daughter. The faint light in front of him did not move him in any way.
The only difference is Xue Li. Sometimes she is cold and sharp, and sometimes she is gentle and fragile. Such an unpredictable person always makes people unpredictable. It is impossible to tell how sincere she is and whether those coaxing words are just... The method of talking sweetly and using swords in belly.
In the darkness, Wei Jie could feel a warm hand touching his fingertips. Seeing that he didn't mean to reject it, he hooked one of his fingers and shook it, with a touch of probing and flattery. His movements were like the little bird that once pecked the back of his hand in search of food.
"Cousin is always alone, won't you feel lonely if you stick to these old and boring rules?" Xue Li tried his best to make his tone less resentful and more sympathetic to Wei Jie.
"It's not a bad thing to follow the rules. You can avoid a lot of trouble." Wei Jie didn't mean to deceive in his words, he really thought so. He always does things perfectly, not for fame or fortune, but because he can do it, and by doing this, he can avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles, and he has never felt lonely because of it. And he was not tired of Xue Li's approach.
Xue Li was a little surprised when he received Wei Jie's answer. She also thought that Wei Jie must mention many saints' words to refute what she said was boring and old-fashioned, and to defend the etiquette dogma that the Wei family was proud of.
"If people live only for rules, they will indeed be able to avoid a lot of troubles, but they will miss a lot of interesting things, right?" Since we are human beings, we will have flaws. No one in the world can live from birth to Death is spotless. "My cousin is a role model in the eyes of others, a flawless beauty bred by the Wei family, but in Ms. Li's heart, she is just a cousin who protects me and treats me well. If my cousin doesn't want to break the rules, he must not be worthy of doing it. People or things. But as far as I am concerned, I don’t care whether my cousin’s character is good or bad, or whether he is still a good young man praised by the world.
” The little snake slipped through his fingers and became intimately entangled with him.
"Ms. Li's feelings for my cousin will never change... People in the world always talk about fate. Maybe you are my destiny. I came to this world just for you." Xue Li's voice was very soft. Like a wisp of sweet cigarette, it slowly entangled his mind.
Is there really someone in the world who is just for him, who will always be by his side no matter what happens in the world?
Wei Jie didn't want to admit it, but he was indeed moved by Xue Li's words.
Come for him, no matter life or death, you will only have him in your eyes and heart. Such words coming from Xue Li's mouth really make people doubtful.
Wei Jie let out a light and short laugh, and Xue Li thought it was her illusion. The next moment, she felt his cool palm against the side of her neck, and then gently touched her like a beautiful porcelain. Rubbing her neck.
"Is it really worth it?" If he wanted to get Xue Li, he would naturally have thousands of ways to do it, but doing so would undoubtedly break his balance and stability and cause unnecessary trouble for her.
Is Xue Li worth what he does?
Apparently Xue Li misunderstood the meaning of Wei Jie's words and thought he was asking her. He immediately touched Wei Jie's hand and said coaxingly: "There is no one more worthy than my cousin in the world. As long as my cousin Love me and pity me, even if you want to be a concubine or a slave, I am willing to do so."
In order to show that he was sincere, Xue Li did not hesitate to say the words he despised most, so that Wei Jie would not think that she was just trying to gain his power. I want to be the future wife of the Wei family. Although she loves power, she also knows that if she dares to covet this position, someone from the Wei family will definitely kill her, so why bother herself.
"Are you willing to die?" He smiled.
"That's natural." Xue Li answered without hesitation.
The flowing fireflies had gradually dispersed, leaving only a few weak fireflies in the room.
He retracted his hand and turned towards the door. Soon someone came into the room and lit the candles one by one.
After getting out of the darkness, Xue Li faced Wei Jie with a smile in his eyes. Thinking of what he had just said, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Would the aloof Wei Jie also be happy because of such straightforward sweet words?
He must have encountered many expressions of love from wild bees and butterflies, so why was he still moved by her words?
Xue Li was confused but also a little happy. After all, she was seducing no one else, but Wei Jie, who was worshiped as a god by the world. Thinking about it in the future, it would be considered a feat worth bragging about, wouldn't it?
"It's getting late. You'll stay in the side room for now. I'll send you back to Taoqiyuan early tomorrow morning. You must have thought about how to explain to Mrs. Yao."
"Cousin, I'll go to bed early."
"Let's go."
It was indeed getting late. Xue Li followed Liang Yan around in the fields. He didn't feel tired until now. After washing in a hurry, he almost fell asleep.
The maids of Yuhengju were all carefully selected to serve here, so even when facing Xue Li, they did not show contempt like others. She came to Yuhengju once in a blue moon, and her sleep was not very comfortable. She woke up several times during the night due to mosquito bites, and she kept tossing until the sky was dim. She simply got up to wash up, and wanted to go back to Taoqiyuan to deal with Yao Linghui.
After Xue Li dressed up, it was still dark, so she walked lightly to Wei Jie's bedroom.
The guard guarding the door was Jin Qing. When he saw it was her, he lowered his voice and reminded: "Young master is still resting.
"
Wei Jie's clothes were neatly dressed, with only his hair hanging slightly casually. Seeing Xue Li's haggard black eyes, he said: "Master will not go to the academy today. You will have a good rest after you go back."
After saying that, he nodded briefly and said: "Come in first, I have something for you."
Xue Li thought that Wei Jie regretted it and wanted to give her the box of pearls, but unexpectedly he followed Wei Jie to the bookcase. He took out a few books and handed them to her and said, "I made annotations on the books you read last time. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me."
Wei Jie caught the flash of disappointment in Xue Li's eyes. , reminding her: "Ms. Li, you can't want everything."
For a moment, Xue Li thought he meant something, his face changed slightly, he quickly squeezed out a smile and said, "I can't understand what my cousin said. ."
There was clearly a gentle smile on Wei Jie's face, but his pair of dark eyes were extremely indifferent, which made Xue Li's heart suddenly tighten.
At this moment, a burst of rapid and chaotic footsteps suddenly sounded, followed by a hoarse scream full of anger from a woman.
"Wei Jie! You told Wei Heng, you were the one who said it! Do you think you and your son are good people!"
Xue Li was frightened by the ghost-like shouting. When he heard the sound approaching, he immediately He wanted to find a place to hide in a panic, and hurriedly patted Wei Jie, and said anxiously: "I want to hide, and I can't let others see me."
Wei Jie still looked as calm as a god, and walked calmly to the big room where the books were stored. In front of the box, he motioned for Xue Li to hide inside.
There are all kinds of books stuffed inside, many of which are rare and rare. People like Xue Li, who are not easy to learn, feel distressed when they step on them. After hiding in, they only dare to curl up carefully. Fortunately, there is enough space left, so it will not let the She was too uncomfortable.
Through the tiny gap, Xue Li saw the crazy beast-like woman stumbling in. Before she could bite Wei Jie, she was easily pressed to the ground by Jin Qing.
Wei Jie took a step back and said kindly: "I've met my aunt."
Xue Li was shocked and had to admire Wei Jie's calmness. His aunt rushed in and insulted him like a madman, but he was not angry or shocked, and saluted her without changing his expression. Was he really still a human being?
Wei Ling's hair had fallen apart, her eyes were red, she was gasping for air, and she was accusing every word: "I treat you well and treat you as my own, why do you want to hurt me! Why!"
She didn't say anything . After that, another man strode into the room with great force.
"I've met my father."
When Xue Li heard that Wei Heng was also here, she couldn't help but feel lucky that she hid in time. If Wei Heng had not used Wei Heng's methods to find out that she was deliberately seducing Wei Jie, it would have been difficult for her to stay in Luoyang even if she didn't die. .
Wei Heng glanced at Wei Jie solemnly and asked, "What did she just say?" "
My aunt just scolded her son for a few words and didn't say anything else."
"Confining Wei Ling to Ning'an Temple, there is no such thing. I gave an order that no one is allowed to see her." Wei Heng glanced at Wei Ling, and the waiters immediately stepped forward to take her away.
Wei Ling twisted and struggled wildly like a caught fish, with eyes like a demon seeking life. He stared at Wei Heng and cursed angrily: "Wei Heng! You sanctimonious hypocrite! You ruined me!"
"Why are you only allowed to be dirty and not allow me to have an affair? What a bastard you raised! You are such a beast and..."
The waiters wanted to cover her mouth, but they didn't know that such a thin woman was forced to panic. It is also difficult to control. Wei Heng kicked Wei Ling down with such force that her words stopped abruptly and she couldn't breathe for a long time. Then Wei Heng slapped her quickly and hard.
After the beating, even his hands were in burning pain. Several fingerprints appeared on Wei Ling's face almost immediately, and he couldn't even speak. Xue Li felt terrified even while hiding in the box. After secretly catching a glimpse of Wei Heng's eyes, she held her breath and did not dare to make any move.
Compared with Wei Ling's despair and hatred, Wei Heng's eyes looked more like a cold and violent living Yama, completely different from the gentle and generous person before, as if he was about to kill his biological sister with a knife.
Wei Ling seemed to finally feel a hint of fear, and trembled without making any sound.
It wasn't until Wei Ling was dragged out with her mouth covered that Wei Heng turned around and said coldly: "Your aunt is crazy. This matter is over. There is no need to worry about it in the future."
From the beginning to the end, Wei Jie stood aside calmly, with only a slight frown. He raised his eyebrows. He was neither moved by Wei Ling's cries of blood, nor was he at all shocked by Wei Heng's violent behavior. He stood there and watched with cold eyes, as if these people were not his father and aunt, but just some noisy and annoying mosquitoes.
Following the rules is not a bad thing, and it can indeed avoid a lot of troubles, but the reason why people are human is because they have selfish desires.
After Xue Li saw his reaction, his heart beat very fast, one beat heavier than the other.
She suddenly felt that everyone in the Wei family was not as noble as she thought. The upright and elegant Wei Jie in front of him seemed to be inexplicably weird.
Wei Heng left quickly. Wei Jie walked towards the box, but Xue Li was subconsciously afraid of his approach. He opened the box and said calmly: "It's okay, come out."
It was as if nothing had happened just now.
Xue Li's hands and feet were a little weak. She didn't understand what Wei Ling said about being dirty and beastly, and why she wanted to insult Wei Jie as a bastard. Wei Heng is upright and kind, and has a good reputation. How can these ugly words be associated with him? Wei Ling was really crazy, but after she lost her husband, she returned to the Wei Mansion and lived in seclusion. She was so good that she went crazy.
The more Xue Li thought about it, the more confused he became, and he didn't even dare to look at Wei Jie's eyes.
"My aunt is ill." Wei Jie explained briefly.
Xue Li responded dryly: "You will be fine after a while."
She still couldn't get rid of the scene of Wei Heng attacking Wei Ling from her mind. After a while, she asked in a hoarse voice: "Why... Why does she come to find you?"
Wei Jie looked calm and had no intention of hiding anything. "My aunt had an affair with Wei Chi, and I reported it to my father." The
soft words were like a thunderclap.
, not to mention that Wei Ling had already lost her husband. It would be unseemly to tell him about it, but he would not be punished like this. Xue Li originally sympathized with Wei Ling's experience. After all, it is not a sin for a woman to seek happiness, but... aren't Wei Chi and her nephews?
She slowed down and asked, "What about... Wei Chi?"
"Wei Chi claimed that his aunt had seduced him first. Considering that he is still young and the legitimate son of his second wife, he has now been imprisoned in the ancestral hall to be punished." Wei Chi. After finishing speaking, he said calmly: "The person who intends to kill you is my aunt." "
This... what does this have to do with me?" Xue Li became even more confused.
"The man and woman who had sex in the ancestral hall that day were my aunt and Wei Chi." Wei Jie's calm tone, but what he said was enough to shock Xue Li to the point of being speechless.
Listening to Wei Ling's words, she should treat Wei Jie very well. She never thought that Wei Jie would ignore the Wei family's face and her former aunt-nephew relationship and tell Wei Heng about her affair with Wei Chi. That's why she Will look for him like crazy.
After a while, Xue Li frowned and asked him: "Since my cousin wants to avoid disturbing things, why do you want to tell him?"
Wei Jie said warmly: "Since you belong to me, others cannot harm your life."

Chapter 32
It was still early when Xue Li returned to Taoqiyuan. At this time in the past, Yao Linghui should not have gotten up yet. But she didn't expect this time. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw Yao Linghui pacing back and forth in the courtyard. She was wearing a coat and holding a round fan in her hand. Her face was so gloomy that it could drip water.
When she heard the news of Xue Li's return, she immediately raised her head and walked toward her with a sullen face. She hit Xue Li on the head with a round fan and scolded her in a low voice: "You're an unruly person! Where did you go last night?" We are all together, don't pretend to be with me, do you think I don't know your character? It's a good trick, so Wei Yun is willing to protect you..." Although Yao Linghui was very angry
by Xue Li, she was still accusing him. With some concern. "How many times have I told you, this is not Wu County, and the powerful people in Luoyang are not easy to deceive. If you offend them, no one can protect you. The people in the Wei family's eldest house are not kind people. You will go on. Stay away from them, the further away the better. Don't be so self-righteous that you forget your own worth just because you have some beauty and skills."
After all, Xue Li is young. He was always bullied when he was young. How is he used to it? She wanted to please people in exchange for what she wanted, but no one had ever taught her how to do it. Only after being taught a lesson did she know the choice between advancement and retreat. Now seeing that even Wei Jie can become her subordinate, it is inevitable that she will feel a little proud and complacent. What she saw and heard this morning, coupled with Yao Linghui's sudden words, seemed to pour cold water on her, extinguishing a lot of her arrogance and gradually calming down.
"Does Auntie know something?"
Yao Linghui was particularly dissatisfied with her dealings with Wei Jie. Even if he really felt that there was a huge difference between her and Wei Jie, he would not humiliate and scold her like this.
Yao Linghui glared at Xue Li, pulled her towards the house quickly, then closed the door carefully, pressed her to sit on the couch, and asked in a low voice: "Let me ask you, where did you stay last night?"
Xue Li knew that she had guessed it, so he simply stopped hiding it. "Living in Yuheng."
After getting the answer, Yao Linghui took a deep breath and suppressed her anger and asked her again: "Have you exceeded the rules..."
"Don't worry, mom, my daughter is not so stupid." She was just coaxing the man. Huanxin, just say a few nice words, but it's not worth letting him touch you.
Yao Linghui breathed a sigh of relief, and then said gloomily: "I really can't control you anymore. After saying these words to you, you still refuse to change your character and still want to get entangled with Wei Heng's son. The eldest son of the Wei family There are many rules and the etiquette is too strict. Not to mention the difference between you and Wei Yunni, let’s talk about how you will gain a foothold here in the future with your temperament. Madam Wei, you are just listening to the scenery. What do you think? Good things come to nothing."
Seeing that Aniang had no intention of continuing, Xue Li replied: "Everything you gain must have a loss. If you want glory and wealth, it's okay to follow the rules." When
Yao Linghui heard her words, her eyes seemed to be on fire, Gritting his teeth, he said: "I think you have fallen asleep. Wei Heng was married to the eldest lady when the Wang family was prosperous. However, within three years, the Wang family was involved in a clan feud, and Wei Heng immediately distanced himself from the Wang family. , allowing the Wang family to decline without the slightest intention to help. Now, you have been in the Wei family for so long, but you have never seen any eldest lady. What etiquette and rules have not missed the man's ruthlessness and unrighteousness at all. What's so different about your bastard father? What's more..."
At this point, she suddenly stopped talking.
"Besides what?" Xue Li asked.
Yao Linghui pursed her lips, and finally couldn't help but said: "Please remember it clearly for me. On the outside, the eldest son of the Wei family is noble and upright, but behind the scenes there are no less conflicts than the Xue family. If you don't want to get involved in this, Muddy water, stay as far away from Wei Jie as possible in the future, otherwise don't blame me for not trying to persuade you."
Yao Linghui obviously knew something about the inside story, but was unwilling to tell it, and Xue Li couldn't continue asking after seeing this. . If Yao Linghui had said this in the past, she would have doubted in her heart whether it was her who was trying to catch someone else's fault again and warned her with rumors she heard from nowhere. However, the scene she saw this morning made her have no choice but to believe it.
Now that Liang Yan knew Wei Jie's affection for her, she no longer needed to work hard to please Wei Jie. It was time to slowly withdraw and focus on Liang Yan. What happens to the Wei family's eldest brother's house actually has little to do with her.
She said nonchalantly: "I have taken my mother's words to heart. My daughter will no longer have any affection for Wei Jie."
Early the next morning, Liang Yan woke up and stared blankly at the tent ceiling. The picture in his dream had become blurry. But the woman's smile was still clear, and he couldn't forget it even if he wanted to.
Fortunately, he actually dreamed of Xue Li.
Wearing the same skirt as yesterday, she lowered her head, carefully avoiding the thorns under her feet, and asked him worriedly: "Are there snakes in the mountains?" After
asking, she sprained her foot and almost fell to the ground, but was fortunately caught. He stretched out his hand to hold it.
Xue Li quickly pushed him away, blushing and taking a step back, too embarrassed to speak to him.
Liang Yan was not much touched in his heart. He just felt that Xue Li, who was so elegant and timid, could muster up the courage to approach a arrogant person like Wei Jie. Wouldn't he always be left out in the cold? Somehow, he thought of the wound on Wei Jie's lip, and he couldn't help but picture Wei Jie and Xue Li kissing in his mind. His face quickly started to feel hot, and his heart felt even more weird.
Once this thought came up, it would not go away for a long time. Even after parting with Xue Li, he could not help but think about this scene, so that his dreams at night were messy.
His original intention was to comfort Xue Li, but after this night, he felt a little guilty in his heart.
Wei Ling and Wei Chi had such a big incident, but there was no movement from the whole Wei family. It was like the farce in Yuhengju, where a pebble fell into a deep pool and only caused a weak ripple. It soon became silent, leaving not even a trace.
Xue Li still remembered clearly that Wei Heng's rage did not start when he entered the door, but after hearing Wei Ling's nonsense, he suddenly and violently interrupted her. Even she, an outsider, couldn't help but be curious about this. As the person who was pointed at and scolded, Wei Jie acted so indifferently, which was really weird.
Wei Jie is still under detention, and Yao Linghui is also paying more attention to Xue Li. It just so happens that she doesn't want to see Wei Jie these days, so she stays in the house and reads a book. It's just that in the past, Wei Jin always looked for opportunities to come to her, but it was rare that he didn't come to her in the past two days.
Xue Li saw the gardenias gradually turning yellow in the porcelain vase on the window sill, and suddenly thought of Wei Jin, and the hand shaking the cattail leaf fan gradually slowed down. Wei Yun asked: "What are you thinking about?"
"It seems that I haven't seen Wei Jin in the past few days."
Wei Yun was stunned for a moment and said, "I would have forgotten it if you didn't tell me. Wei Jin was sent back to Guangling three days ago. Hearing that it was his cousin's intention, there was a great scholar in Guangling who got acquainted with his cousin and seemed to intend to educate Wei Jin. The cousin told Wei Jin's father about this, and they hurriedly took Wei Jin back."
"Bring him back . Go back?" Xue Li was a little surprised. Wei Jin left in such a hurry and didn't even have time to see her. It was probably Wei Jie who did this deliberately and didn't want her to have anything to do with Wei Jin.
Xue Li's heart suddenly sank, and he slowly grew impatient. If she couldn't make Liang Yan break off her engagement with the Zhou family in the end, Wei Jin would be another escape route for her. She used to think that Wei Jie was just an upright person who was distant and didn't like to interact with others, but now she felt that he was too cold and cold-hearted, and he was really not lenient in sending Wei Jin away.
Wei Yun glanced at Xue Li, feeling vaguely irritable in his heart.
"Don't blame me for not telling you. As a cousin, even if you and he are in love, my uncle and the elders in the clan will not allow you to have any consequences." She did not hate Xue Li, even Some like her cuteness, and like her smiling way to call her sister. However, the thought that she was only thinking about Wei Jie made her feel unspeakably annoyed.
Xue Li smiled nonchalantly and said, "A good day is just a day. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"
Wei Yun didn't want to pay attention to her words, and heard her ask again: "I also want to ask about someone with my sister."
She said impatiently: "Who is it?"
"A few days ago, I saw a man dressed as a woman in my house. My husband, he looks really weird. He means he is going to find his cousin. Does my sister know who he is?" When
Wei Yun heard Xue Li's description, he didn't know what he thought of, and a look appeared on his face. There was a vague feeling of disgust.
"Did you offend him ?
"
, is really violent and cruel, killing countless concubines and recruiting people to do all kinds of evil things. In the past two months, a concubine of the Wang family was caught by the emperor at a palace banquet and said a few words. This matter was known to her. He actually sentenced the Wang daughter to the death penalty of drunkenness. If you say a few more words to the emperor, it will definitely cause trouble if it reaches Xiahou Jing's ears." Wei Yun said with disgust on his face. "Xiahou Jing is also from a famous family. She has
learned the books of sages since she was a child. Once she became powerful, she became so vicious that she really didn't leave any way out for herself." Everyone in the Qi Kingdom knew that the Xiahou family was ambitious and tried to win over several prominent families and get rid of the clan. Several queens took over the power. With their brutal style of leaving no room for retreat, once the Xiahou clan is defeated, there will be tens of millions of people waiting to kill them.
Wei Yun's expression showed both hatred for the Xiahou family and helplessness in the affairs of the state. Xue Li had seen this look on Liang Yan's face not long ago.
When he came to Yuhengju again, Liang Yan's mood was not as good as before. As soon as he saw Wei Jie, things related to Xue Li popped into his mind.
He did not do anything that exceeded the rules towards Xue Li, but he was reluctant to tell Wei Jie about his trip with Xue Li. He even vaguely hoped that Xue Li would hide this matter in his heart and keep it as a secret between the two of them.
That night the fireflies flew like sparks, and the cool breeze made Liang Yan's clothes flutter. He stood on the hill and said with a smile: "If Madam Li is sad in the future, you might as well come here to have a look."
"Will the prince come here if he is upset?"
"Liu Ying doesn't happen often, but what about the worries in his heart? It can't be resolved completely." Liang Yan's voice was a little more childish than Wei Jie's. Even though Wei Jie is smiling, he still looks like a cold stone statue with a lingering indifference.
"What is the prince worried about?" Xue Li couldn't help but ask him.
Perhaps it was because the scenery was so good and Xue Li's tone was gentle, so he subconsciously answered her words.
"The country is in danger. It's a pity that I don't have the talents of the King of Han, but I try to build Yilu's career and make great achievements like him. Now even the three Dukes and Cao are not qualified. If I were replaced by Lan Zhang, I would definitely make a contribution to the history of the country." Liang After Yan finished speaking, he felt that what he said was tantamount to humiliating himself. Xue Li loved Wei Jie so much that he would ridicule him in his heart for not overestimating his abilities. He couldn't help but turn his face away from the expression on her face.
However, after a long time, he heard Xue Li say: "Your Majesty is still young, so why should you belittle yourself?"
Behind Xue Li were fireflies flying in the sky, and the moonlight reflected on her clothes, making even her hair cast a layer of light. , making her look like a goddess.
"How many people are right about what will happen in the future? Your Majesty, I just want to be clear in my heart. You don't have to worry about success or failure."
Liang Yan had heard a lot of this kind of words, but it was just coming from Wei Jie's sweetheart. After all, it was too much. A somewhat different meaning.
His throat was inexplicably blocked, and he spoke with difficulty: "Don't you think that Lan Zhang and I are very different?" "
The candlelight has the light of the candlelight, but the flowing firefly also has the light of the flowing firefly. They are incomparable to each other, at least at this moment. I think the light of the flying firefly is more attractive to me."
The night wind made Liang Yan's eyes dry. He blinked and said after a long time: "Thank you."
Liang Yan argued with his father for a long time, but in the end he was recommended by Wei Heng. Got an errand from Sangong Cao. When he came to see Wei Jie this time, Wei Heng asked him to persuade Wei Jie to cut off contact with Xue Li.
Liang Yan couldn't talk about this matter. He kept dragging it out in Yuhengju until dark, and couldn't say a few words about Xue Li's misfortune.
He sat in front of the porch enjoying the cool air. There was cut melon on the plate. The mosquito bites made him unwilling to touch the melon and he could only sigh quietly.
The assassination of Emperor Chunlie has not yet been resolved. The fault was originally passed on to King Junshan, but in the end, King Qin and King Hejian found out about the matter. The two were extremely angry, fearing that their homes would be confiscated and their clans exterminated on an unfounded charge. In anger, he simply united with the King of Huaiyin to rebel, and wanted to kill the entire Xiahou family in the name of Qing Junzi. Because Wei Jie was quite prestigious, he was now asked to write a campaign against the rebels.
Liang Yan wanted to wait until he finished writing and then ask him about his thoughts about Xue Li, but unexpectedly, he waited until dark.
He was thinking about how to speak, and he never noticed the cautious footsteps behind him, as light as a cat.
Suddenly something bumped into Liang Yan's back, and before he could react, a pair of thin arms stretched out from behind and wrapped around his waist and abdomen as quickly and softly as a flexible snake. The woman's body was warm and soft, pressing closely against his back. The cold pearls on her bun touched the back of his neck, making him stiff for a moment, and he actually forgot how to move.
"Cousin," she said happily. "Are you waiting for Ms. Li here?"
Liang Yan quickly calmed down after hearing the voice. After hesitating for a moment, he whispered in a slightly embarrassed voice: "Ms. Xue, I am not Lan Zhang. You have mistaken the person."
Xue Li immediately let go of his arms and stepped back, and quickly apologized in shame: "I was blinded, and I offended the prince. I hope the prince will not blame..." "
It doesn't matter." Liang Yan's throat was tight, and he didn't know what to do. Say what is good.
At this moment, footsteps sounded from the other end of the corridor.
It was dark, and Wei Jie could barely make out Xue Li's blurry figure.
"Mother Oriole?"
Xue Li ran towards him in surprise, threw herself into his arms, and said softly: "I haven't seen you for a few days, cousin, don't you miss me?"
Liang Yan didn't know where to look. , the movement of getting up seemed panicked.
Wei Jie let her hold him, nodded without shame, and said quietly: "Le'an is still here."
Hearing Wei Jie call his name, Liang Yan wanted to find a place to hide.
Xue Li glanced at Liang Yan and stood silently behind Wei Jie.
"The message has been written. Since you have something to do, you want to see me, but it doesn't matter."
Liang Yan had just forgotten all the words he had just thought about in Xue Li's hug. At this moment, she was standing in front of him again, asking him how to do it. Open your mouth.
He looked at Wei Jie helplessly, but couldn't help but move his eyes to Xue Li who was hiding behind him. She grabbed Wei Jie's clothes and secretly looked at him shyly. The moment their eyes met, she immediately looked away, and they both knew what happened.
Liang Yan's heart suddenly beat wildly, and each sound was like someone knocking on his chest, which shocked him so much that he could not utter a complete sentence.

"Since you insist on doing this, I can't stop you. But now that the engagement with the Zhou family has been made, you can't control it from now on. Now King Qin of Hejian has joined forces to overthrow the Xiahou family. , it is absolutely impossible for several major families to stay out of the matter. If you marry her as soon as possible, the Zhou family and the Hou family can protect each other." Not
long after Liang Yan returned to the house, a torrential rain poured down without warning. Along with the roar of thunder, the sound of crackling rain sounded in the yard, the branches and leaves were blown around, and the room suddenly became extremely dull.
His father's voice became a little blurry in the sound of rain. When Liang Yan heard the word "marriage", he felt inexplicably stuffy in his chest. He stood up and opened the window. The mist was blown in by the wind and fell on his face. Some heat dissipated from the face.
"Did you hear clearly what I just said?" Marquis Pingyuan asked him with a frown.
In a short period of time, Liang Yan's thoughts couldn't help but drift to Wei Mansion. Before he left, Xue Li had not yet left Yuhengju. It was getting so late, and the two of them were still staying together. It was raining so hard, and I didn’t know if she had gone back. Could it be that she had to spend the night in Yuhengju? ?
Thinking of this, Liang Yan tightened her fingers on the window lattice and exhaled slowly, trying to tell herself to stop thinking.
He hesitated for a moment before asking aloud: "Does father think that Zhou Suyin and I are worthy of each other?"
Ping Yuanhou's face darkened, his tone became serious, he stared at him and said: "What do you mean by this? It was clear at the beginning. It was you who asked for this marriage, and now you want to regret it, where do you want to put the face of the Zhou family and the Hou family?" At the end of the sentence, his tone became excited.
Liang Yan was silent and retorted: "Other people don't know, but my father should know that the Zhou family has secretly communicated with the Xiahou family. The Wei family has been on guard for a long time. If the marriage contract with the Wei family has no benefits, it will be swallowed up completely, and other families will be hindered." Because they offended the Wei family, they did not dare to get married to the Zhou family. I clearly saved them by asking for marriage."
The Pingyuan Marquis Mansion took advantage of it, and everyone knew that he had robbed Wei Jie of his marriage. This incident caused a stir. It caused quite a stir, and people still use it to make fun of Wei Jie to this day.
"What do you want?" Pingyuan Hou held the copper wine cup tightly and looked at him with a sullen face, as if if he said a bad word, the copper wine cup would hit his head.
His father's temper was really bad. Even though people often said that his father was lovable when he was young and was a gentle man who smiled kindly when he met everyone, he could never imagine that scene. In my impression, my father always had a straight face. He was rarely friendly, and he always pushed him hard. He rarely touched his head and praised him like Wei Heng did.
"I'm just asking, father, don't be angry." Now, he was hesitant about the marriage. Zhou Suyin only cares about her family. She has admired Wei Jie for a long time, and she can still turn around and regret her marriage without hesitation. In the final analysis, her affection for Wei Jie is not really deep, and she and he use each other more, so there is no talk of friendship.
Do you really want to marry Zhou Suyin?
He couldn't help but think of Xue Li and the way she looked at him secretly from behind Wei Jie. Such a good person, even though he liked Wei Jie, he never disparaged him.
Liang Yan recalled the day they first met with some reluctance, but after thinking about it carefully, even if he sent Xue Li back home, he still had no chance of winning compared with Wei Jie.
After all, it is Wei Jie, he is infinitely beautiful, no matter who stands next to him, he will always be the first thing he sees.
Heavy rains in summer always come unexpectedly, with strong winds and rain hitting the vast sky and earth, and the lanterns hanging under the eaves are blown everywhere.
After a while, a layer of puddles accumulated in the courtyard. There was a cool mist of rain in the air. Xue Li stood in front of the porch and looked at the heavy rain sadly, and said: "I told my mother to go to see Sister Yun. If she doesn't come back, she will definitely blame me if she finds out." ."
She sighed and said, "I'd better ask someone to take me back. Maybe the rain will be much lighter on the way."
Yuheng Residence is far away from Taoqiyuan. It's a winding road. Just walk there. It only took half an hour. Now that it was getting late and it was raining so heavily, it would be much more difficult to walk. However, she came here just because she heard that Liang Yan was here. Now that Liang Yan is gone, there is no point in her staying. She also has to worry about Wei Heng appearing suddenly, so she might as well go back early.
Wei Jie looked at the rain and said in a deep voice, "That's not right."
In such a heavy wind and rain, even if she held an umbrella, her clothes would be soaked when she got back.
Xue Li was also worried about this. The road was dark and slippery, and he might even fall into mud and water.
"Ms. Oriole, come in first." Wei Jie called her and asked her to sit in the room first.
The doors and windows are wide open, and the cool breeze is pleasant. Xue Li took a sip of cold tea and tilted his head to look at the rain outside the window. At this moment, Liang Yan should have returned to the Hou Mansion.
Wei Jie spoke in a calm tone and said, "I will go to Jizhou with my father in a while. I will be away from Luoyang for about half a month. During my absence, Jin Zheng will stay and protect you."
Xue Oriole turned to look at him doubtfully. "Why are you protecting me?"
Apart from Wei Ling, who tried to kill her but failed, she didn't have any enemies.
It seemed that Wei Jie had become much nicer to her since she spent the night at Yuhengju, and his reaction was not as shy and coy as she had imagined, but was instead extremely straightforward, as if the two of them had already established a relationship. Everything must be arranged for her.
"Just asking for peace of mind."
After hearing the answer, Xue Li couldn't help but frown. If Jin Zheng was always by her side, she would have more worries about meeting Liang Yan.
"Everything is fine in my house. Why should my cousin worry about me? Jin Zhen is so powerful in martial arts that he should go to Luoyang with his cousin. Having him by his side can make me feel at ease."
Xue Li leaned towards Wei Jie . Leaning closer, her slender jade fingers touched Wei Jie's palm, as if scratching his palm unintentionally, with a bit of secret flattery.
Wei Jie clasped Xue Li's hand, his fingertips resting on her delicate wrist, feeling the tremor of the pulse under the skin.
"Do you really think so?"
The cool breeze blew into the room, and the candlelight flickered. The light and shadow in Wei Jie's eyes changed, and firelight danced in his eyes, making his eyes look a bit strange inexplicably. .
Xue Li felt guilty when he saw him, and couldn't help but have the urge to pull his hand back, as if what was resting on his thin wrist was not Wei Jie's fingertips, but the cold fangs of a poisonous snake.
However, after just thinking about it, he still smiled and said: "Everything is fine in Luoyang, and my cousin will come back soon."
Xue Li didn't want to dwell on the matter anymore, and paused before asking: "What kind of incense does my cousin smoke? I've never smelled it before."
She smelled it when she threw herself into Wei Jie's arms. She had never smelled this kind of smell on him before. It's like a slightly bitter floral fragrance, as clear as ice and snow, which makes people addicted and can't help but smell it a few more times. "It's a spice paid tribute
by foreign tribes. If you like it, I'll have someone prepare a copy for you."
Always stay with me." When
Wei Jie heard her flattering words, he just chuckled and didn't say anything bad.
Instead of getting lighter, the rain outside the window actually got heavier. Xue Li listened to the sound of rain, his eyelids became heavy, and he simply lay down on the desk to take a nap.
The light and thin shirt was illuminated by the firelight, and Xue Li's slim figure was faintly revealed. Her hair spread out, revealing her white and tender neck. One of her arms was resting on the desk, and the other was hanging casually on Wei Jie's robe.
She was very quiet when she slept, not talking in her sleep or moving around. The sound of rain gradually subsided, and her slow breathing could be heard in the house.
Wei Jie quietly looked at Xue Li's sleeping face and couldn't help but feel that the person was really weird. After Xue Li belonged to him alone, no matter how he looked at her, he felt that she was much more lovable than before. All her feelings, as well as her breathing and heartbeat, belonged only to him.
After the rain stopped, there was a steaming heat in the yard, and the hall gradually became stuffy. Xue Li woke up and opened her eyes to see Wei Jie, who was waving a fan to drive away mosquitoes for her.
"The rain has stopped." He said warmly.
Xue Li sat up straight and asked in surprise: "How long did I sleep?"
"Less than half an hour."
Her throat was so dry that she took two sips of tea and stood up to leave, but was pushed back by Wei Jie.
Xue Li looked at him doubtfully: "What's wrong?"
"Ms. Li." His tone was gentle, but he had an aura that could not be refused. "Do you want to kiss me?"
After he finished speaking, the room fell silent. Xue Li looked at him motionless, too shocked to say a word. There was even a hint of naive eagerness in Wei Jie's eyes, which was extremely inconsistent with his whole demeanor. Xue Li felt as if someone had stepped on his brain, and he remained stagnant for a long time without responding.
Was she asleep?
Until Wei Jie's smile faded and he asked her in a cold voice: "Are you not willing?"
If the man next to her had said such words to her, she would probably have ridiculed her back in shame, but this person was Wei Jie , she was left in a panic. In the past, her frivolous treatment of Wei Jie was all done out of desperation, with the intention of humiliating Wei Jie, but now it seems that the situation has changed, and he wants to take advantage of her, instead letting her She felt embarrassed and at a loss.
"No...it's not." She said so many big words, saying that dying was worth it, but she expected Wei Jie to be cold-tempered and not interested in things between men and women. Who knew he could say such a thing.
Xue Li forced out a smile and whispered: "Why is my cousin suddenly willing to get close to me?" "
The book says that things between men and women will make people happy." Wei Jie's tone was very calm, and he seemed to take it seriously. She is just curious and eager to learn, without any dirty thoughts, which makes her seem too coy.
Xue Li felt helpless, so he had no choice but to move forward and quickly pecked Wei Jie on the lips. Then he immediately stood up and wanted to run away, but Wei Jie pulled him back and pinned him in his arms.
"That's not the case." Wei Jie's eyes fell on her lips and he said calmly: "If you don't know how, I can teach you."
Then he looked as if he was teaching in an academy, with an awe-inspiring expression and said in a calm tone: "Two forms fight against each other. , the two mouths swallow each other, the man takes the woman's lower lip, and the woman takes the man's upper lip, sucking on each other for a while, sucking his body fluids, or slowly biting his tongue, or slightly..."
Xue Li's face turned red after hearing this, and he couldn't bear to interrupt him: "I ...I will!"
She finally understood. If she didn't get what he wanted today, I'm afraid he wouldn't let it go.
Xue Li raised his head to kiss Wei Jie, feeling indescribably awkward and without any lingering thoughts. She opened her lips to take his lips, and the words Wei Jie had just read came to her mind again, and her movements became even more stiff.
Wei Jie didn't feel any pleasure from it, so he couldn't help but frown, and he held the back of her head and deepened the kiss.
Xue Li's sobs were choked back, and she could only feel him slowly pry open her lips, and the tip of his tongue tentatively move in her mouth, nibbling numbly, or licking with the utmost affection. The moist and warm tongue gradually became anxious, seeming to want to absorb more, and the originally gentle kiss became a little fierce and eager. Xue Li nervously clutched Wei Jie's clothes, his fingers turning white from the force.
The slightly disordered breathing sounds of the two were close to her ears, and they made some ear-warming sounds from time to time during the kiss. She couldn't breathe, and slapped Wei Jie anxiously and embarrassedly. He finally stopped and kissed her. The corner of his lips opened some distance from her.
Xue Li saw the moist luster on Wei Jie's lips, his face felt hot, and he was suddenly speechless.
No matter...it was just a kiss. With Wei Jie looking like this, what else could she lose? Who told her to take advantage of it first? Thinking like this, Xue Li finally felt better, but then he heard Wei Jie's warm voice asking: "Are you happy?" The
shame and anger that he had just suppressed came back to him, and Xue Li's mind seemed to be on fire. Taking a deep breath, he suppressed his anger and nodded.
After receiving her approval, Wei Jie let out a slightly amused chuckle.
"That's good."

Chapter 34
Xue Li’s face was hot, but listening carefully to Wei Jie’s tone, it seemed that he was really asking about her feelings. Thinking back to the sentence he asked just now, “Do you want to kiss me?” instead of “I want to kiss you.” "Kissing", could it be that he thought she liked doing this kind of thing, so he wanted to call her "happy".
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt that she had brought it upon herself. She turned her face away, not daring to look at Wei Jie's expression, and quickly took two sips of cold tea to dispel the heat on her face.
Just when she was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do, a waiter came to inform her that it was Wei Li who wanted to see her.
Xue Li hurriedly said: "In that case, I can't stay here and disturb my cousin's discussion." "
It's okay. Just wait for a while, and I will order someone to take you back."
"My cousin is busy with business, what can I do for you? " I'll worry about it again."
Wei Jie lowered his eyes, looked at her thoughtfully, and asked, "Did I do something bad?"
Xue Li was stunned for a moment, then realized what Wei Jie was referring to, and then calmed down. The heat that had gone down came back again, and she said hurriedly: "No...I didn't mean it like that. Cousin, please don't think too much. It's just that my mother-in-law has been paying close attention to me recently...I'm a little worried."
She knew that Wei Yunding would hide it for her, and she also Knowing that Wei Jie was a gentleman, he was confident and ignored his mother's advice many times. However, after today's confused kiss, she finally understood that Wei Jie was really stupid when it came to the relationship between men and women. Maybe he would read some book next time. The book told him that things in the room make people happy, and he would do the same. Kindly drag her to give it a try.
Wei Jie nodded and comforted her: "Wei Yun is here to help you, so don't worry."
Xue Li sat back helplessly and stared out the window.
Wei Li did not return home for several days. When he came back, he learned that Wei Chi was being imprisoned in the ancestral hall and being tortured. No one was allowed to visit him. His father did not allow him to ask questions, so he had to come to Wei Jie to ask why.
Wei Jie followed Wei Heng's wishes and did not tell him about the incestuous crime between Wei Chi and Wei Ling.
Wei Chi and Wei Yun had always been at odds with each other, so the punishment was not publicized, so that even Wei Yun only knew that Wei Chi had made a mistake and was sent to the ancestral hall to repent. Only Wei Li noticed the strangeness and wanted to find out the reason. Seeing Xue Li here, he just glanced at her and didn't pay attention to her presence.
"I just ask my brother to tell me what Wei Chi did to deserve such a severe punishment."
"I remember my father said that no one is allowed to visit."
Wei Li looked slightly angry and his tone was trembling. "I bumped into the doctor outside the ancestral hall, and a servant brought out the blood-stained silk handkerchief. If he hadn't been severely tortured, why would it be like this?"
Wei Jie only felt that he was noisy, and there was a trace of impatience on his eyebrows, so He said: "Seventy lashes in total."
Wei Li realized that this mistake was more serious than he thought, and his eyes widened in shock. He wanted to ask again, but then seeing Wei Jie's expression, he had to say respectfully: "Thank you, brother." ."
After Wei Li left, Xue Li asked him curiously: "What is the profound meaning of seventy lashes?" "
It is stipulated in the family rules that mistakes committed have their own ways of dealing with them. Those who mess up the rules of etiquette and law will be punished according to the severity. Wei Chi and his aunt are uncles and nephews. Seventy lashes will suffice."
"Both of them must be punished together?" Xue Li couldn't help but think of Wei Ling's cries, and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"My uncle thinks that the fault lies with my aunt, so after she is punished, she will have to think about it in meditation in the house for twenty years." Wei Jie's tone was calm, without any fluctuations.
Xue Li sighed in his heart, if it had been someone else, the matter would have been revealed. It was clearly Wei Chi and Wei Ling who were fighting each other, but in the end Wei Ling had to bear so much responsibility. Twenty years is such a long time, which is tantamount to being deprived of freedom for life.
However, recalling that Wei Ling wanted to kill her in order to keep the secret, Xue Li felt that he did not need to pity her, but just lamented that Wei's treatment was unfair. If she didn't know how to swim, she would have drowned in the lotus pond.
Xue Li was lost in thought when he heard another rush of footsteps and thought it was Wei Li who had left and returned.
"My eldest son, Mrs. Yao from the second room has come back to look for Madam Xue. She is waiting outside the courtyard gate."
Xue Li stood up suddenly, looked at Wei Jie angrily, and said, "I said that Madam is anxious to find me. You I didn’t believe it, but now it’s better, it’s all coming to my door.”
Wei Jie comforted her and sent her to the front of the courtyard. Fortunately, no matter how angry Yao Linghui was with Xue Li, she still treated Wei Jie well.
After returning to Taoqiyuan, Xue Li was punished by kneeling for half an hour. Only then did Yao Linghui tell her that the second lady was dissatisfied and asked her to discipline Xue Li in front of everyone. She was completely embarrassed. Unexpectedly, when she returned to the yard, Xue Li disappeared again.
Only then did Xue Li learn that for some unknown reason this time, Wei Yun did not hide it for her, but directly asked Yao Linghui to go to Yuhengju to look for her.
She must have been in contact with Wei Jie for many days, and Wei Yun never argued with her for Wei Jie's sake. Now that he has been grudged for a long time, he no longer wants to hide it for her, which is human nature.
Xue Li's two maids were also punished because of her. Yao Linghui ordered the waiters at Taoqiyuan to keep a close eye on her and not allow her to step out of the hospital. Apart from this, Yao Linghui also took the time to stay in the yard to keep an eye on her and not allow her to have any further contact with Wei Jie.
Xue Li didn't care about this. Wei Jie was going to Jizhou in a few days, and Yao Linghui would let her out again. Locking her in the courtyard these days will save her from finding excuses to avoid Wei Jie.
Compared to Xue Li's matter, which was none of her business, Yin Deng was more worried than her. She couldn't help but sigh when she was combing Xue Li's hair.
"Seeing that the eldest son is going to Jizhou, and we have not been able to see each other for a long time, don't you want to see him?"
"I can't even go out of the courtyard now, how can I meet him, since you sincerely help me For my own sake, why don't you send a letter to my cousin for me."
If she remembered correctly, Liang Yan often came to the Wei Mansion near noon, and she happened to be idle in the house, so why not let Yin Deng try it? See if you can bump into him.
"If you meet Prince Liang from Pingyuan Marquis Mansion on the road, please ask him to deliver the letter to you, so as not to let my mother know that you have gone to the East Courtyard." The chirping of cicadas made people upset.
Liang Yan was first appointed as the Third Duke Cao, and there were many The files needed to be sorted out, but the Wei family was closely related to the various officials in the court, so he had to come to the Wei Mansion to find old records.
When he was stopped by a maid, he tried hard to identify her for a while, but couldn't remember the other person's name until she said, "Prince Liang is going to Yuhengju to find the eldest son?"
He wanted to say no, but when he saw the maid With the letter in his hand, the words suddenly got stuck in his throat and he couldn't spit them out.
"Is this a letter from your wife to him?"
The sun seemed to be getting stronger, and it stung his eyes.
He still stood there until the maid turned to leave. The waiter seemed to have said something to him, but he didn't listen. His eyes fell on the letter paper that was stained with rouge color by flower juice, and he accidentally brought the letter paper to the tip of his nose and sniffed it.
There was a faint sweet fragrance, which was extremely light, and it reminded him of some pictures uncontrollably.
In the quiet mountains and fields, he reached out to help Xue Li, and she threw herself into his arms in front of the corridor of Yu Heng's residence. The scent on the envelope was exactly the same as the sweet scent on her body. No matter what the purpose of her letter to Wei Jie was, it had a more charming meaning at this moment because of the fragrance.
It was just a piece of letter paper, but it had to be carefully scented and dyed with flower juice.
Liang Yan smiled helplessly, Xue Li was willing to spend so much thought on Wei Jie. Thinking of the way her eyes lit up when she saw Wei Jie, it didn't seem strange that Wei Jie could be tempted. If he were Wei Jie...
Liang Yan's eyes darkened and his fingers became a little tight. Noticing that he had creased the letter, he smoothed it out guiltily.
He calmed down and walked towards Yuhengju.
Until Wei Jie left Luoyang, Xue Li was still locked in the yard and not allowed to go out, and Wei Yun had never been to Tao Qiyuan. After he left, Yao Linghui finally felt relieved. Seeing that the Qiao Qiao Festival was coming, she let Xue Li go out to play with the ladies in the house.
After being imprisoned for several days, Xue Li was still smiling when he saw Wei Yun again.
Wei Yunben glanced at her with a gloomy face, and seeing that there was no hint of resentment on her face, he said impatiently: "Why are you laughing?
" , I really miss you in my heart, and now I feel happy when I see you, why can't you laugh?"
Wei Yun's face turned red, and he said angrily: "I told you earlier, if you associate with your cousin again, just be nice to him in the future. Don't come to me again."
If she wants to climb up to the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion in the future, she will need Wei Zhi's help, and she will naturally not be stupid enough to make Wei Yun unhappy. Xue Li lowered his eyes, pretending to be sad and said: "What my sister said is not unreasonable. My mother-in-law has also taught me a lot in the past few days. In the past, it was my wishful thinking that my cousin had a noble status, just like the clouds in the sky. How could I be like this?" I can get involved in my background... In the future, I will listen to my sister's advice and forget about this thought that I shouldn't have."
As she spoke, she squeezed out a few tears, and her eyes gradually turned red. Wei Yun thought it was her own words. He said it too harshly, and comforted her: "Don't belittle yourself..."
She paused and said, "You're not too bad."
Before Xue Li could agree, she said soothingly: "Lingbo Lake is fine tonight. There must be no such scenery in Wu County to enjoy flower lanterns."
Begging Day is the busiest day on the street besides the Lantern Festival. The streets were filled with lanterns and pedestrians, so crowded that I could hardly move. However, no matter how crowded the street was, once they saw Wei's carriage and horses, pedestrians and vendors all moved aside to make way for them to pass.
The largest restaurant in Luoyang is also the location with the best view.
Liang Yan was forced by her father to take Zhou Suyin out for fun. However, there was no reluctance on her face either, and she just wanted to play with her close friends. After walking a few steps on the street, Liang Yan went their separate ways. go. Liang Yan was having a banquet with friends in a restaurant. The room was unbearably hot. When he heard the sound of fireworks, he left the table alone and went to the high platform to dissipate the smell of alcohol.
Anyone who could board this restaurant tonight must be rich or poor. Gui, several people have gathered on the high platform, and they are all talking quietly.
Standing on a high place, you can have an unobstructed view of Lingbo Lake. The lake surface is sparkling at night, and there are river lanterns floating on the lake surface, which look like sparks falling into the lake water.
He sighed and couldn't help but murmur in a low voice: "The stars are playing a new song to the scenery..."
A human voice suddenly came out from beside him. "Yan sits in the green lantern."
Hearing the familiar voice, Liang Yan's heartbeat seemed to freeze for a moment. He subconsciously held his breath and turned to look at the person beside him.
Xue Li looked at him with a smile and said with a smile: "The prince is also here."
Liang Yan's throat was a little dry, and he looked at her blankly and asked: "How did you know that poem just now... ?"
"When I was in Wu County, I saw it in a poetry collection. I don't know which celebrity's poem it was. I liked it so I memorized it. I didn't expect that the prince would also know this poem. We are really destined."
Fireworks rose . High in the sky, a field of fiery trees and silver flowers bloomed in the night, illuminating the dark sky in an instant.
Liang Yan did not watch the fireworks. He only looked at Xue Li in a deep voice and whispered to her in a very low voice. "Thank you."
At this moment, it was as if fireworks exploded in his heart, bright and scorching, enough to dispel the gloom in his depressed heart.
Xue Li looked at the scenery and pretended not to hear what he said, but she knew very well what Liang Yan was thinking at this moment.
In order to please Wei Jie, she once memorized all his poetry collections, so naturally she could also memorize Liang Yan's poems backwards and forwards.

Chapter 35
Wei Jie's poems written casually were recited by everyone, and as his good friend Liang Yan, even though he had great literary talent, he always said "although slightly inferior to Wei Lanzhang" when he was mentioned.
Wei Jie is always good at everything, so as long as you stand next to him, others will look dim.
Few people have compiled Liang Yan's poems into poetry collections, and his slightly naive old poems when he was young are even less known.
His father didn't know, nor did his respected uncle, and Zhou Suyin never cared.
Only Xue Li saw it, and she remembered it for a long time.
It's like the flowers he accidentally planted many years ago. No one wants to take a second look at them, but a girl walks by and says she likes them with a smile.
Suddenly, he felt a sour emotion spreading in his heart, and then, it was like warm water poured into his chest, making his body gradually warm.
Xue Li didn't look at Liang Yan's expression. Standing here, she could see the lights of Luoyang's market converging into a stream, and the dazzling fireworks rising into the sky to illuminate the dark night.
And even if she doesn't look, she still knows that her sweetheart is looking at her and thinking about her.
From Wu Jun to Luoyang, across thousands of mountains and rivers, she came to Liang Yan's side, and now she will finally enter his heart.
"Mother Oriole!"
Wei Yun turned to look and found Xue Li and Liang Yan standing together. He hurriedly approached and pulled her to his side. Then he looked at Liang Yan warily and said angrily: "Why are you here too?" Here?"
Liang Yan knew that Wei Yun hated him because of Wei Jie, but he didn't care. He still said in a good temper: "I have been here every year, so I am asking you this." Seeing the look on
Wei Yun's face No, he said with a smile: "We have a banquet, and several ladies are also here. Now that we are watching the fireworks, why not go drink two cups of Sangluo wine." Although
Wei Yun didn't like Liang Yan, he didn't want to slap anyone's smile on his face. , seeing that he was so loud and angry, he didn't want to spoil the fun, so he took Xue Li to the banquet with him.
When people at the table saw that the person coming was Wei Yun, they all made room for her. Because of the rumors about Xue Li and Wei Jie, people looked at her curiously from time to time. Xue Li pretended not to see their gazes.
Liang Yan was sitting not far from Xue Li, joking with his friends. He didn't know what he heard, and his shoulders were shaking with laughter.
When the wine was in full swing, everyone had forgotten all the rules. Only a few gentlemen from the Wei family were still sitting at attention in front of the table. Some people knocked on wine cups and sang, while others were so drunk that they staggered and danced on the ground.
Someone came to talk to Wei Yun and unknowingly squeezed Xue Li next to Liang Yan. Fortunately, the table is big enough so that everyone can sit together, so it's not a big deal.
Xue Li's skirt hangs down in layers, like hibiscus petals.
Liang Yan restrained himself from looking at her, lest anyone notice something strange and ruin her reputation. However, without looking at her face in time, his eyes touched the hem of the pear red skirt pressed against his robe. The bright red overlapped with the white of the moon.
His throat moved slightly, and there seemed to be a heat gradually rising, making his cheeks also feel hot.
Liang Yan looked away in panic, turned his head to talk to his friend, but completely forgot what he had just said. He hesitated for a while without saying anything, so he had to pick up the wine cup and drink, trying to hide the emotion on his face. At a loss.
The rim of the cup touched his lips, and the clear wine flowed into his mouth. Before he could swallow it, he felt his sleeve being pulled by someone. He turned his face to look at Xue Li. She hesitated to speak, her expression was slightly shy, as if she didn't know what to do. Open your mouth.
"But it doesn't matter."
She leaned a little closer, and her cold hair slid across the back of his hand, making his hand tremble.
Xue Li lowered her voice and slightly covered her face with her sleeves, so that Liang Yan couldn't see the corners of her lips curled in success.
"Your Majesty just... used the wrong wine cup."
After she finished speaking, Liang Yan's expression visibly stiffened for a moment. He immediately looked at the jade white wine cup he had just used. As expected, there was a faint layer of alcohol on the rim of the cup. The fat, now covered with a layer of water marks, is obviously his work.
Liang Yan's face quickly turned red and hot, and he was silent for a while before he hurriedly apologized to her. "My eyesight is blind. I hope you won't blame Ms. Li. I...I didn't mean it." He said as he went to get his own wine cup. "It's too close. I really didn't mean to do it..."
Xue Li lowered his head and said softly: "It doesn't matter. The prince should not let this ruin his mood..." "It's my
turn to say this."
There was so much noise that no one else heard the conversation between the two, but he was preoccupied with this matter. He felt that the wine cup was frighteningly hot, and he did not dare to pick it up anymore. Seeing his abnormal expression, his friend laughed loudly and said, "What happened to Le'an today? That's why he couldn't drink enough Shihe wine and his face is already red like this."
Liang Yan retorted in shame and peeked cautiously. Xue Li's expression.
Xue Li swallowed a sip of wine with a calm expression, but his heart felt extremely hot.
When they dispersed from the restaurant, everyone smelled of alcohol. Wei Zhi's discipline was strict, and Wei Yun rarely came home late. He felt uneasy, tugged on his skirt with a sad face, and said: "I hope I don't bump into my father tonight. If he smells the smell of alcohol on my body, he will definitely have to repeat the family admonishment ten times." " .
" It was getting late at night, but there were still many pedestrians passing by in the market. The horse-drawn carriage moved very slowly. Wujun also has a lantern festival, but it is not as lively as Luoyang, and the appearance of the lanterns is also very different. At that time, something happened to my father while he was in business. People in the Xue family thought he was dead. They came one after another to accuse my mother of being a disaster star. She was also bullied. In addition, she was thin and had many ugly spots on her face at that time. She had red sores, and some of Xue's peers who went out to watch the lanterns bumped into her. They snatched her fish lanterns and pushed her and laughed at her. She never went to see the lanterns again. "How does the Lantern Festival in Luoyang compare with Wu County?" Wei Yun asked her curiously when he saw that she was fascinated. "Is there any difference?" "There are thousands of lanterns and trees shining brightly, so naturally Wu County can't compare." She chuckled and replied, "If it's different, I didn't have any sister to enjoy the lanterns with me when I was in Wu County." Wei Yun He was stunned for a moment, snorted softly, and said: "You are always good at saying coaxing things." As the two of them talked, the carriage gradually stopped. After the coachman grabbed the reins, the servant knocked on the wall of the carriage and asked: " "Two ladies, the husband of the Xiahou family has blocked the road." "Xiahou family?" Wei Yun and Xue Li frowned in unison. Before Wei Yun could ask who the gentleman was, the bamboo curtain of the small window was lifted up with a sword. Xia Houxin sat on the horse and lowered his eyes and looked in. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Xue Li's face, and then he laughed proudly. "Look who I met. Isn't this the little lady who turned her back and refused to recognize anyone else?" , the cold light of the sword's edge reflected on Xue Li's face. "Have you never heard of the fact that I will retaliate? What's more, you are so beautiful, so I will never forget it." Wei Yun said coldly: "Xia Houxin, I advise you to stop." "Oh?" Xia Hou Xin laughed and said, "It's Mrs. Yun. I was just talking to the beauty and I didn't see you here. It's really rude." Wei Yun retorted: "I'm serious, it's not a good thing if you see me."
The smile on Xia Houxin's face gradually faded, his eyes passed over Xue Li's face frivolously, and he said: "Ask this young lady to come down and apologize, and then have two drinks with me, and I will forget about the past. , how about it?"
He thought that these words could be regarded as giving face to the Wei family, let alone being insulted, but it was his gift that a woman from a low-class family could make him patient.
Wei Yun held Xue Li's hand to comfort her and said, "Ms. Li is a member of my Wei family. As long as I don't allow it, no one can bully her."
Xia Houxin glanced at Xue Li and said coldly: "You don't want to?"
There were many onlookers gathered around. The longer the stalemate lasted, the more impatient Xia Houxin became. He would not let the same person throw his face to the ground several times.
But with a foreign surname, the Wei family could still fall out with the Taiwei Mansion because of her.
Xia Houxin said calmly: "That's it for now. There's no need to show mercy. Someone, drag this little lady down for me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei's servants immediately gathered around the carriage to block Xia Houxin's attendants. . However, Wei Yun was just going out to enjoy the lanterns, and the attendants accompanying him were not good at fighting, and they were subdued after a few attempts. Xue Li has always been a flexible person. When he sees this, he has to soften his attitude and apologize. If he is really angry, he can just ask for it back later.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she bent down and got out of the carriage, an attendant who was close to her suddenly screamed, and his palm was suddenly pierced by a sleeve arrow, and the blood immediately stained his palm red.
Jin Zheng was very fast and moved from the crowd to the carriage in an instant. The long knife in his hand was already placed on a person's neck. The other person was trembling with fear and did not dare to move an inch.
When the people recognized Xia Houxin, they all knew that he had a violent temper, and they did not dare to stay to watch the show, so they all stayed away.
Xue Li was a little surprised. She thought that Jin Zheng also followed Wei Jie to Jizhou, but she was secretly protecting her. She didn't know if he saw her being close to Liang Yan today...
but it didn't make much difference. The important thing is, after all, Liang Yan is the important one. Wei Jie will know one day...
"My cousin actually left all the guards to you." Wei Yun's tone was slightly low, but Xue Li had no intention of comforting her, but looked closer. of visitors.
Zhao Tong rode his horse and approached slowly. When Xia Houxin saw it was him, the words he wanted to say were blocked.
"Are you Xia Houzheng's eldest son?" Zhao Tong's robe was covered with a layer of soft armor. The lights illuminated him with a warm yellow light, but he still looked extremely cold. He was not angry or arrogant when talking to others, so that as soon as he opened his mouth, Xia Houxin lost the arrogance he had just now.
"My Xia Houxin, I have met the King of Junshan."
Zhao Tong didn't seem to want to say more, and just said lightly: "Ms. Xue is kind to me. If you embarrass her, you will become my enemy."
After all, he is the elder, and he This was the king whom the Xiahou family wanted to win over. No matter how angry Xiahou Xin was, he did not dare to antagonize him due to personal enmity. He could only reluctantly say: "I don't dare. Since the King of Junshan has spoken, this matter can be regarded as understanding." ."
After saying that, he glanced at Xue Li coldly, and rode away with a sullen expression, not caring about his injured attendant.
Jin Zheng withdrew his knife and silently squeezed the driver, blocking most of Xue Li's body.
Wei Yun stared at Zhao Tong with lingering fear, holding Xue Li's hand tightly and not letting go, not even noticing when a layer of cold sweat broke out on his palms.
When Zhao Tong looked at Xue Li, his eyes softened a lot, and his tone was not as cold as before.
"Did you enjoy your trip today?"
"Very good." Xue Li nodded.
He is not a young man, but when facing the woman he likes, he can't help but think about how to speak.
After thinking for a while, he said: "I will go south to quell the chaos in a few days."
He paused and then said: "If you are willing to come with me, I will promise you whatever you want.
" Everyone can talk empty words, and Xue Li also talks a lot. Naturally, he will not let such light words make him dizzy, and immediately replied: "Ms. Junshan's kindness is appreciated, but my heart belongs to me, and I don't dare to ask for more." If there are too many, I would not dare to climb high. I believe that the King of Junshan is very brave and will be able to find a beautiful woman as soon as possible."
Zhao Tong rubbed the reins in his hands and was silent for a moment. When he spoke again, his tone was still kind, but there was a hint of persecution.
"You have thought it through."
Xue Li said without hesitation, "I hope King Junshan will go safely and make a triumphant return soon."
"The person you like is the eldest son of the Wei family?"
