He was not wearing any clothes, and the weak light fell on his body, enveloping it in a layer of soft splendor.

A strong chest, strong arms... Yu Yan hurriedly swept a glance over them and turned her face away. She whispered, "Your highness, be careful not to catch a cold."

He took a deep breath and took a step forward. With the strength of his palm, the branch fell from her palm and her face was parted even more. Her hands hung down, and her tight eyelashes trembled a few times before she gently closed them.

The alcohol was still strong and the drunkenness was still there.

His hot breath caressed her hair and slowly lowered. His lips came close to her ears as he whispered, "What are you doing?"

Yu Yan shrunk her neck and said awkwardly: "Move your body."

He kissed her ear and whispered, "Little liar."

Yu Yan trembled slightly, and quickly pushed him away, saying in a hurry, "Your highness, be careful not to catch a cold, go back and rest …"

The light in Yulixiao's eyes dimmed slightly. At this time, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck him, and the rumbling thunder suddenly exploded, scaring Yu Yan yet again. He took her in his arms and held her close. Her chest was burning hot, her lips were burning hot, her palm was burning hot. Everything was boiling hot, so hot that Yu Yan could not help but to shiver.

This was the first time in his life that he had encountered such a feeling.

Yu Yan desperately tried to make herself think about Yun Qin. Thinking, thinking, became Yulixiao.

His kiss had already reached her neck. He gently kissed, gently nibbled … Yu Yan's tears fell down.

"Why are you crying again?" he asked hoarsely.

"Nothing." Yu Yan raised the back of her hand and rubbed her eyes a few times with force.

"I'll teach you how to practice the sword." He bent down and picked up the branch.

"You're not wearing any clothes." Yu Yan whispered as she covered her face.

Yulixiao gave a low laugh as he picked up his drenched robe and put it on. He tied his belt and returned to her side with his collar open, revealing his jade white chest.

He grabbed her hand and pressed it against his chest. "Do you want this place?"

Yu Yan's breath suddenly became anxious, she stared at the two overlapping hands, that was the location of his heart.

"Do you want it?" he asked again, pressing harder.

Yu Yan bit her lips, not willing to make a sound.

"Tell me, do you want to be my little cousin?"

Yulixiao's voice was even deeper and his hands were even tighter. His heartbeat was so powerful that it passed through her palm and struck her heart.

She was forced to the point where she had no way out. She raised her eyes in panic, her lips quivering slightly as she softly said, "I don't know …"

I don't know... What should I do?

If I want you, it's an adventure! Although she was a fish that liked to take risks, he was a dragon! How could a fish go play with a dragon? How can a fish swim side by side with a dragon? She couldn't swim him! Besides... He did not put her on a pedestal, but took her into the midst of countless beauties.

His breath caught in his throat as he slowly loosened his grip. He then pulled her into his embrace and hugged her tightly.

Yu Yan almost couldn't breathe, her hands were tightly held in front of her chest, still held onto his chest. Every breath she took, made her heart clench.

He lowered his chin and rubbed it against her forehead, then he stuffed the wooden branch into her palm. He turned her body, grabbed her hand, and stabbed it. He slowly recited in a low, mellow voice, "Calm as water, disregarding all distractions, rushing through the thousand zhang wall in one go. Infinite spiritual energy flowed rapidly …"

Yu Yan thought, could his heart be as calm as water? In this world, other than nuns and high monks, would there really be people with hearts as calm as water?

Yu Yan could not do it. Her heart was very lively, and with every jump, there was another desire. She wanted to eat and dress, she wanted to be carefree. She wanted to be her father, she wanted to have a lot of snow and silver, she also wanted to be beautiful like a flower, never to be old. She also wanted to be a man who loved her, to be together with her. She wrote down the case against the scoundrel, and he used a long sword to punish evil and good...

She had so many desires, so she was destined not to have peace of mind. Greed, annoyance, and obsession were the three poisons. She had never jumped out of it, so she had to suffer and not leave.

"You're distracted." He tightened her grip and turned her around, a stick jabbing into the mountain water screen in the middle of the house, just above the water that curved down from the mountains.

"Prince …" Yu Yan turned her face to the side, and said softly: "Duke, please let me out of the Palace."

Yulixiao's breath tightened, his hand grabbing onto her waist tightly. He withdrew the branch from the tree, sweeping up from her leg and landing on her mouth, he lightly patted it and said softly: "Little liar, why do you need to practice the sword alone? It's not like I don't remember the chant from that day? "

"I... Twisting Tendon and Bone... "Furthermore, he was born to overhear and never forget …" Yu Yan explained dryly.

"Then you should remember what I said. I want you to be my person forever. I don't want you to be as beautiful as me when you swim." He lost the branch and held her tighter in his arms.

Yu Yan opened his mouth, but closed it again.

He was still drunk. Who knew if he would wake up tomorrow and remember what had happened tonight, or what he had said tonight? She breathed in softly, raised her head slightly, and rubbed her forehead against his chin.

He was so tall that she had to tiptoe to do it.

Yulixiao lowered his head and kissed between her eyebrows.

"Take a rest." She closed her eyes and shook his hand away. "I'm sleepy," she whispered.

Yulixiao looked at her for a moment and gave her his hand.

Yu Yan pretended not to see it, but he still carried it like that and stubbornly extended it out to her.

The rain grew heavier, and the lightning flashed in his eyes one after another, so bright and threatening.

Spring rain, spring thunder, spring sunshine, tens of thousands of new leaves sprouting, tens of thousands of hearts, ready to move...

"He's so stubborn. Besides lying to himself, who else could he have lied to?"

He simply grabbed her hand, pulled her into his embrace, and lifted her up by her waist. Then, he strode towards the edge of the bed.

Yu Yan did not struggle. He was right, other than lying to herself, who else could she have lied to? Even the carefree Nian An could see through her. Other than deceiving her own heart, she couldn't lie to anyone else.

Love can germinate, in the spring rain in full of vigor drills, tender green people.

Yu Yan suddenly wanted to fly a kite.

"Yulixiao..." When he placed her on the couch, she suddenly said, "Take me to fly a kite!"

Yulixiao was stunned, his black gaze landed on her face.

"I haven't let go of my kite in almost four years. On the banks of the Nanhe River, the wildflowers bloomed the most beautifully in spring. The kite flew in the sky and could fly very high, very high …" Yu Yan said again.

Yulixiao shook off the wet clothes on his body, and stooped down, his hand stroking her face, pulling his close, his figure forming a pair.

The process was extremely long and exhausting.

Yu Yan felt as if she were that crabapple tree that had lived for hundreds of years, being swayed by the warm wind, being nourished by the gentle spring rain. Her branches were all blooming with tender and beautiful flowers, bearing the sun, carrying the rain and dew, bearing the burden of her unquenchable greed, greed, and infatuation …

Nian An was changing a new blanket on the bed when she suddenly ran over and closed the window. Under Yu Yan's confused gaze, she squatted beside her legs, raised her head and looked at the glowing Yu Yan.

"Empress, was the prince here yesterday?" When did you get here? You... Was it that again? Your Highness's legs can't move, that... Are you placing your bet on the Prince? "

"Nian An! "You're shameless, shameless, and shameless. Be careful, this consort will punish you to go squat in a corner!"

Yu Yan covered her face with the book in her hands, grabbed another book and knocked on her head.

"Esteemed Empress, I'm very curious, who asked you to write about that before …" I'm really curious! "Esteemed Empress, you only said …"

Nian An rubbed her head that was in pain, she muttered and stood up, walking around in front of her.

Yu Yan was furious, she immediately jumped to pinch her mouth.

Nian En pushed open the door and entered, asking puzzledly: "Why did you close the door?"

"Ask her, these little hooves are talking nonsense."

Yu Yan glared at Nian An. She was in a good mood and her curses sounded like she was singing.

"How can the Empress scold me for my little hoof? Where do I look like a hoof?"

Nian An was very dissatisfied, raising both of her hands up for her to see.

"You look like a pig's hoof, but you should be more careful."

Nian En glared at Nian An and brought the tea over to Yu Yan.

"Why do you have so many eyes? I should eat, drink, laugh, and cry. Once I open my eyes and close them, who knows when I might lie down and be unable to get up. Why would I have to tire myself to death by growing so many eyes? " Nian An was not convinced, and muttered again.

"Come on, you're awesome. Hurry up and get out of here. You're so noisy!"

Yu Yan grabbed a peanut and smashed it onto her body.

Nian An quickly turned around and caught it, giggled, peeled the shell, and ate it.

"Look at this girl!"

Nian En and Yu Yan were both stunned. Nian An just grabbed a handful of peanuts and twisted her waist exaggeratedly as she walked towards the entrance of the small courtyard.

"It's over, my spring heart is beating fast, we have to keep pestering Ah Lang …"

Nian En sighed and turned to look at Yu Yan.

They were all living people. The maids who had been sold as rich families since they were young, like their mistress, had all experienced such a period of their first love. However, their fates were mostly poor. If they were born beautiful, or were toyed with by the master of the house, they would have forgotten. Some of them could earn a place as concubines, while others would be crippled to death by the main wife. If she wasn't beautiful, then she would be trapped in a cage for the rest of her life.

These two girls were sixteen to seventeen years old!

"Nian En, I'll find someone to tell you all about a matchmaker. Otherwise, go accompany Lady Xu and let her find a good home for you." Yu Yan pulled Nian En's hand and whispered.

"Don't, the Empress once said, if you don't have a sincere heart, why do you need to go to prison. Although Nian En is a servant, she still agrees with the Empress's words. If there is no one else, Nian En would rather accompany the Empress for his entire life. "

Nian En laughed, lowered her eyes, and picked up the book for her, placing it neatly at his feet.

"Nian En..." Yu Yan shook her hands and sighed softly. It was unknown if her thoughts had harmed the two girls or if they had helped them.

She was Yu Yan, she was a girl in a big situation. She yearned for equality between men and women, she longed for a lifetime of everything. In this world, even women could not understand her, much less men?

Although Yulixiao could understand her, he would not really do it. He still had Chen Yao, Ye Mingyue and Qiu Xuanling.

This was a man's responsibility, to let the family grow stronger and the children prosper.

"Empress, why have you been so lazy recently?"

Nian En looked at her worriedly and touched her forehead.

"People are always lazy in the spring."
