The soft white jade hand that slowly stretched out towards him stopped in mid-air.

Shen Liuying was full of contradictions, as if he was split in two. One half kept persuading him to retreat, while the other half urged him to move forward bravely. Almost, just a little bit, everything would be different.

She was exhausted from the hesitation in making the decision.

Suddenly, a broad hand pulled her into his arms and pressed her down. The unique cool breath of Erlang tightly enveloped her.

Warm breath fell on Shen Liuying's ears, and a big hand lifted up the hem of her skirt. The sound of the shirt being torn seemed particularly thrilling in the empty room.

At this time, Shen Liuying could no longer distinguish between day and night, right and wrong. She deeply sniffed the fragrance emanating from her lover's body. Her face became rosy and her eyes were affectionate, as if her heart was also slightly tipsy.

She gently stroked the boy's black hair, her eyes sparkling. She held up his star-like face, and her slender jade fingers traced from his forehead to the corners of his beautiful lips.

Just as the storm was about to come, the strong burning sensation in her stomach made Xu Qingcheng feel an irresistible nausea, and she vomited a lot of acid. In an instant, Shen Liuying's hair was covered with dirt, and the smell from her body made her stomach churn. She couldn't help but vomited out all the undigested food today. The pungent smell enveloped the entire Accord.

Chen Yin walked along the streets and went from restaurant to restaurant looking for the young master. He finally found him in "Zhiweilou".

When the shopkeeper led him into the "Qingxin Pavilion", he saw his son lying on the ground with his hair disheveled and smelling of alcohol, his face flushed and mumbling. The noble lady of the Shen family was half-kneeling beside the table, supporting the table with one hand and retching heavily. The foul smell almost suffocated Chen Yin and the shopkeeper of the restaurant, and they left the elegant pavilion one after another.

Chen Yin was so anxious that he didn't care about Miss Shen beside him. He called two or three servants to carry the young master to the carriage and hurried back to the mansion. The steward Tang Zhongjun saw the third young master's embarrassed appearance and ordered the servants not to leak the news of the young master's return to the mansion. He quickly prepared hot soup for him to wash and change clothes.

Seeing that dinner was about to arrive and Xu Qingcheng still didn't seem to wake up, Manager Tang was anxious and gave him another bowl of sobering soup.

"Third Master, Lady Mu is here. If you don't get up now, you will miss the meal. Lady Mu has been waiting in the mansion for more than two hours. Please wake up! The Princess and the Prime Minister are waiting."

Seeing that Xu Qingcheng still had her eyes closed and her breathing even, he sighed resignedly and left the room, then went to the central hall to report the truth to the princess and the prime minister.

Xu Mingyuan was in the imperial study today. Emperor Qingyuan was trying to match Wang Yanzhi and Mu Yao up. He came back with a big breath, and when he saw his youngest son's disappointing appearance, a layer of anger suddenly appeared on his face. He asked Xiang Tang, the steward: "Why are you drinking again? Who did you drink with? Why are you so drunk?"

Tang Zhongjun glanced at Mu Yao who was frowning and lowering her head, and said calmly, "When Chen Yin saw him, only the Third Young Master was there."

Seeing Mu Yao remained silent, Ye Jingshu smiled and said, "I guess Qingcheng must have been too tired these past two days. He should get some sleep and rest to be full of energy again. Ah Yao, let's eat first and ignore him."

As he spoke, he took a few bites of cured meat and put them into Mu Yao's bowl.

Although she had no appetite, she couldn't refuse the hospitality, so she gritted her teeth and ate half a bowl.

Ye Jingshu saw that she was worried and guessed about 70% of it. She smiled and said, "Ayao, Qingcheng should be awake by now. Let's go see him. The young couple should chat more."

As soon as Mu Yao left, Xu Mingyuan complained to the eldest princess about Emperor Qingyuan. He was a little surprised by his wife's attitude, and did not show the anger and dissatisfaction he had expected.

Xu Yuanming didn't know Wang Yanzhi's identity, but Ye Jingshu knew. She frowned, fiddling with the gold bead bracelet made of canadensis wood on her right wrist, her eyes dark and unclear.

"Okay, don't worry about it. The emperor has his own considerations."

Ye Jingshu took a sip of the fragrant tea and left slowly under Xu Yuanming's extremely shocked gaze.

Jiang Fuqiu was unable to marry Emperor Qingyuan, and she had a role in that. The emperor wanted to find a good wife for the child. Logically, it was difficult to disobey the emperor's order. Emotionally, she felt guilty. If A Yao had no objection, she would have nothing to say.

Inside the Qiziyuan

Mu Yao gently tapped Xu Qingcheng's forehead with her jade finger. Seeing that he had no reaction, she added a little more force and tapped him harder.

"Huh? Still not awake?" Mu Yao looked a little angry. She had rushed here and waited for so long, only to find a drunkard back! So she thought of slapping him twice to wake him up.

She rubbed her cold hands, put them to her neck for a while, pretended to raise her hands and shake them down fiercely, then released the force when they fell on the handsome and deep face, and leaned over to gently stroke them.

Circle after circle, she rubbed his handsome face into a state of disfigurement.

The bell-like laughter echoed in the room. Mu Yao became bolder all of a sudden. She couldn't wait to stretch out her claws and ravage him again. She didn't believe that she couldn't wake the man up like this.

The intoxicated eyes had fully opened at some point and were staring at her deeply.

At the moment when Mu Yao was stunned, a pair of strong hands wrapped around her waist and pulled her into his arms. Xu Qingcheng hugged her and turned around, pressing the beauty firmly under him. His eyes were full of rippling water, and his bony fingers gently touched her eyebrows, all the way to her chin, and gently lifted it up. The cold fragrance of snow plums from his mouth poured into her nose, and ripples suddenly appeared in her heart.

The man exuded a dangerous aura, his eyes were wild and cold, and he chuckled in her ear with a deep voice, "Ayao is not obedient, you should be punished."

A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a deafening thunder. In an instant, heavy rain fell from the sky like an upside-down Milky Way.

"Stay tonight." Xu Qingcheng pulled her waist and seduced her.

The violent storm in the house was no less spectacular than that in the world.

The rich scent of gardenia eroded Xu Qingcheng's nerves inch by inch, and it took a long time for him to regain his clarity. The red marks on A Yao's mouth that had disappeared completely, and the mellow wine left in his body, all made him half crazy and half mad, confused and infatuated.

It was not until noon the next day that Mu Yao dragged her exhausted body back to the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

Taifu Li sat in the middle hall with an unhappy look on his face. He looked at his daughter and Xu Qingcheng unhappily and said in a dissatisfied tone: "It's already such a late hour. Even if you are getting married soon, you still have to follow some rules and don't act recklessly. Qingcheng, go back and prepare well in the next few days, and come back to pick up Yaoyao on the day of the wedding."

Xu Qingcheng knew she was in the wrong, and thinking that A Yao would be married in two days, she said nothing more. After the ceremony, she left in dismay.

Li Taifu's brows have been furrowed since this morning. Before he could reply to Helian Juzheng about Helian Yun's matter, the emperor wanted to match Yaoyao and Wang Yanzhi.

Oh, my daughter is so outstanding, I worry so much! But she is also a stubborn one!

He pondered the emperor's words carefully, and always felt that Emperor Qingyuan was too concerned about Wang Yanzhi. There were so many important officials and so many unmarried handsome men in the court, why didn't the emperor worry about their lifelong affairs?

Looking up, he saw Mu Yao sitting on the armchair with a tired look on her face, half of her head drooping. The anger that had just subsided in her chest rose up again: What a loser, she just let Xu Qingcheng mess around.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have a wife, so it's difficult to give him any advice.

The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He coughed twice to regain some consciousness: "Dad, what did you say?"

Seeing Mu Yao's confused look, Li Taifu leaned over and breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and asked, "Dad wants to hear your opinion on Wang Yanzhi."

Wang Yanzhi?

Mu Yao had a good impression of him, so she forced herself to cheer up and said, "Lord Wang is a young man with great talent, a righteous man, and is not afraid of power. He is a good official."

Not afraid of power?

Tutor Li looked at his daughter with amusement, silly girl, with the emperor holding up the sky for him, no matter how great the power is, it is just a sesame seed in his eyes.

I didn’t expect Yaoyao to have such a high opinion of Wang Yanzhi. It seems this marriage is feasible.

He looked at Mu Yao lovingly and said, "Don't go anywhere these two days, have a good rest and prepare for your marriage. In your free time, check if there is anything else that needs to be purchased and Dad will make it for you. By the way, don't you have a work to be auctioned at the Treasure Pavilion? Hurry up and think about it and put pen to paper. You will be even busier after the wedding! There will be more things to worry about! Okay, go and have a rest." After saying that, he waved his hand.

Mu Yao nodded in agreement. Indeed, the chain plan of "Shuiyunjian" should be put on the agenda. While I am still young, I should make a name for myself as soon as possible and retire to enjoy life.

Returning to Linglong Pavilion, he yawned, sat down beside the desk, and stared blankly at the white paper in front of him: Oh, my ideas are blocked!

After thinking for a long time, why not draw a picture for myself and Xu Qingcheng first?

There is no camera here, so we can’t even take wedding photos.

As a painter, how can I let myself down?

画!

There was a burning light in his eyes, as if he had been injected with a dose of chicken blood, and his whole body was filled with energy.

With just a few strokes, the outline of the shape is ready. All that remains is to carve it out in detail.

After two days of patient polishing, a wedding painting with super realistic oil painting effect appeared before our eyes.

Sitting under the peach tree in a red dress, the boy gently holds the hand of his beloved in his arms.

The trees are full of flowers, and the petals are falling in a riot of colour. Bees and butterflies are dancing, and clouds are all over the sky. The fragrance is blazing, and the spring breeze is ten miles long.

The figures of the two people bloom in the spring scenery of the garden, like a dream, not like the human world.

This huge painting is two meters long and four meters wide, and is tightly covered with phoenix fire about three meters thick. It will be delivered to the Prime Minister's residence along with the dowry.

On the day of the wedding, before the first light of dawn appeared in the east, Xu Qingcheng had already gotten up early.

On the bluestone street outside the palace, dozens of servants were busy and carefully spreading a red brocade carpet, all the way to the Taifu's mansion.

Big red lanterns were hung on every eaves of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and every beautiful tree was tied with a red satin ribbon, making it look bright and brilliant, as if the morning glow had broken at dawn, and the ground was illuminated.

The tall and handsome horses in the mansion were being carefully brushed over and over again by the grooms. Xu Qingcheng's eyes fell on every corner of the mansion, doing a final and detailed inspection.

The Princess and Prime Minister Xu had already placed the imperially bestowed "Nine-Fermentation Golden Phoenix Wine" on every banquet table. This honor was a blessing better than heaven for the Xu family. Looking throughout Dayun, there was no one like her daughter-in-law.

Seeing Xu Yuanming constantly muttering to himself and counting the jars, Ye Jingshu looked at him in surprise for a long time, rolled her eyes and said, "What's there to count? There are eighty-eight jars in total. Do you want to keep them?"

Being discovered, Xu Yuanming smiled awkwardly, "It is said that this wine uses 308 kinds of medicinal herbs, many of which have become extinct. I just want to..."

Before he finished speaking, Ye Jingshu interrupted him: "Think, what are you thinking about? If you don't finish drinking today, when else are you thinking about drinking? It's all."

The unquestionable tone of his wife completely shattered Xu Yuanming's idea of ​​keeping it for himself. He pursed his lips, thinking that he would drink a few more cups today and not stop until he was drunk.

At the hour of You, the wedding procession was in full swing, with firecrackers blasting and gongs and drums blaring all over Changdi Street. Xu Qingcheng was wearing a wedding dress embroidered with phoenix fire, and the time passed by under the sunset glow. He rode on his black horse and led the way in front of the procession, heading towards the Taifu Mansion in a dignified manner.

Mu Yao was wearing a phoenix crown and a shawl today, surrounded by pearls and emeralds. Her gorgeous face under the bright red scarf was like the bright moon, shining like the morning sun, with the color of lotus flowers and skin as white as condensed honey, as if Chang'e had come down to earth, looking around and smiling charmingly.

Li Taifu reluctantly sent his daughter to the bridal sedan. Hundreds of fine huanghuali wood boxes were carried out of the mansion and followed the big red sedan all the way to Xu's mansion.

The road was covered with red dowry, boxes of which were neatly arranged. The crowd watching the excitement on the roadside kept grabbing the jade flowers from the baskets of the accompanying servants and throwing them at the groom and the sedan chair.

The breeze blew, and in an instant, the entire Changdi Street was filled with the fragrance of flowers and laughter.

A purple figure in the "Friends Teahouse" along the street stared at the man on the tall horse without blinking, her face completely pale. She tightly grasped the carved railing with both hands, trying hard not to faint. Cold tears fell on the back of her delicate hands, and her pearly teeth bit her lower lip tightly to prevent herself from crying out loud.

She is a coward, a wimp who dares not speak up or fight for her rights.

In a restaurant on the corner of the street, Helian Yun and Helian Qing were sitting and watching the wedding procession go away.

"Brother, I told you that the view from this position is not good. With so many people blocking the view, it's hard to see clearly. Isn't it better to go to Juxian Building?"

A piece of marriage flower fell into Helian Yun's tea bowl, creating beautiful ripples. He blew it out gently, and said after a sip of tea, "Why are you in such a hurry? Aren't you going to a banquet tonight? There's something for you to see."

Helian Qing listened to his sour tone and teased, "Hey, who made me Yaoyao's best friend? She was the first one to send me an invitation! So, you really won't go with me?"

Helian Yun put down the tea bowl, ignored Helian Qing, and cast a dim gaze at the jade flowers lying on the ground.

Helian Qing was not giving up and said, "Brother, I think you should go and see it. When you marry Yaoyao later, you can learn from them and don't be outdone."

"Nonsense!" Helian Yun hit Helian Qing on the head with a chestnut.

"Looking at the way you are dressed today, someone who doesn't know you would think you are the protagonist." Helian Yun saw his sister with pearls and jade on her head and a bright yellow shirt, and he always felt that she was stealing the show.

"Change it, this outfit doesn't fit." Helian Yun's handsome brows slightly frowned.

"I won't, today..." Helian Qing hesitated.

"What's going on today?" Helian Yun asked with his head raised alertly.

Seeing her elder brother's serious expression, Helian Qing did not dare to hide it and said honestly, "Mr. Xie will go today as well." After saying that, she lowered her head in embarrassment.

Helian Yun raised his eyebrows: "He hasn't gone back yet?"

"He and Xu Qingcheng are from the same school, so he went to show his support." Helian Qing added.

They are from the same school, but they are not from the same master. According to this calculation, Xie Ci must have drunk thousands of wedding banquets of his fellow students, right?

A woman's opinion.

He stared at Helian Qing for a while, and seeing that she was still looking at the wedding procession that had disappeared, he said with a smile: "Xie Ci is not suitable for you, but Liu Huifeng is not bad. You should cherish the person in front of you more."

When Helian Qing heard Liu Huifeng, he got furious on the spot!

"Don't mention that jerk to me. There's absolutely no chance for him and I. I like Xie Ci. If you keep saying there's no chance for him and I, I'll say bad things about you in front of Yaoyao."

Looking at my sister's ferocious and cruel look, it is really hard to imagine her being with Xie Ci.

Liu Huifeng is still more reliable. Although he has some minor flaws, he is generally worthy of the Helian family. The main reason is that he is loyal to his sister.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frown slightly, as if he hadn't seen Liu Huifeng for a few days.
