The first time in history

After finishing his dinner at the threshing ground, Li Zhong walked towards the county government office as usual. When he entered the courtyard, he saw Qian Mingduo standing in front of the door with his hands behind his back, and a servant beside him holding his gift certificate.

"General" Li Zhong took a few quick steps forward and bowed.

"It's snowing here tonight, so you shouldn't sleep outside the window." Qian Mingduo said indifferently, "Go to the camp with Xiao Sanzi to rest." After that, he turned and went into the house.

"Could it be that our general can read the sky?" Li Zhong stood on the steps of the county government gate, carrying his bedding, and looked up at the evening sky. "There is clearly not a single cloud. How can it snow?"

"Hurry up and go," Xiao Sanzi urged, "Li Zhong, you are so stupid. Our general saw you sleeping in the yard for a few nights and was worried that you would catch a cold, so he ordered you to go to the camp to rest. Can't you see that our general loves you?"

"Then General, can you please be honest? Why did you lie to me that it would snow tonight?"

"Nonsense," Xiao Sanzi said impatiently, "Can you go back to the camp directly? You have such a stubborn temper." "Let's go," Li Zhong walked down the stairs, "I know, our general cares about me. Xiao Sanzi, you don't know, once the general called me brother..."

Wang Zhaojun, who was sitting by the window, heard everything Qian Mingduo said to Li Zhong in the yard. She knew in her heart that it was meant for her.

Since Qian Ming moved back to the big tent, they had hardly had a proper conversation. The sneaky eunuch Xue always followed Qian Mingduo intentionally or unintentionally, or sent his eunuchs to keep an eye on him.

The family that received Eunuch Xue in Linhe County this time was quite wealthy and generous. They were even more generous in showing hospitality to the people who came from the emperor's side in the capital.

Every morning at breakfast, he would treat Eunuch Xue with a variety of dishes. His old man loved drinking, and Eunuch Xue was also a wine lover. During the few days he stayed in Linhe County, Eunuch Xue drank and got drunk every day.

Several eunuchs under Xue Gonggong lived in another wealthy family in the west of the city. Although the host of that family did not have constant drinking and food like Xue Gonggong's family, they also served fine wine to the eunuchs at dinner time every day. The eunuchs who were not supervised by anyone were also drunk every night.

Qian Mingduo, who had been left unattended for the past few days, was troubled by Li Zhong's blind loyalty. He could not say anything about such a loyal subordinate.

Seeing that they were about to set out tomorrow, and the days of being under constant surveillance were approaching, Qian Mingduo was anxious and asked this loyal subordinate to return to the camp to rest.

"Xiaohong" Wang Zhaojun called softly.

"Princess, do you have any instructions?" Xiaohong, who was sleeping in the outer room, replied.

"Have you slept yet?" Wang Zhaojun asked knowingly, "We will set out tomorrow. Go and ask the general to come over. I want to discuss something with him."

"I'll go right away." Xiaohong was about to get up and put on her clothes, but saw Wang Zhaojun coming out.

"You've already gone to bed?" Wang Zhaojun smiled. "Don't get up or you might catch a cold. I'll go to the general's room to discuss this. You can go back to sleep."

Wang Zhaojun stood at Qian Mingduo's door, looking at the two closed doors. She wanted to raise her hands to knock on the door, but she felt that her hands were as heavy as a thousand pounds. Her heartbeat was like a drum, and it was as if millions of deer were running around. Every heartbeat was accompanied by reverie and anticipation of what was about to happen.

Countless images flashed through her mind, from the warmth of the two smiling at each other to every intimate moment that might have happened. Her body trembled unconsciously, a throbbing from deep in her heart, a desire and exploration for unknown emotions.

In the night, her cheeks flushed slightly because of this secret desire, just like the most tempting red wine in the night, exuding an irresistible charm.

Wang Zhaojun finally plucked up her courage and raised her hand to knock on the door. At this moment, she was no longer a shy girl, but a woman who bravely pursued love.

She knew that tonight, they would cross that invisible boundary and explore each other's deepest secrets. This thought made her shy and excited, like a butterfly dancing in the dark, chasing the most dazzling light.

Qian Mingduo saw a figure flashing outside the window, and he felt nervous and expectant. He sensed the tacit understanding between him and Wang Zhaojun, and knew that she would definitely come tonight. His thoughts were like the lake surface brushed by the spring breeze, rippling with layers of delicate ripples, and each ripple carried his ambiguous reverie of what was about to happen.

He sat in a corner of the room, his eyes occasionally passing through the tightly closed door, with an indescribable desire surging in his heart. It was a desire to explore the unknown, an expectation for a deeper development of their relationship, and endless reverie about every subtle reaction of Wang Zhaojun.

There was a subtle and ambiguous atmosphere in the air, as if even time had slowed down at this moment. Qian Mingduo's fingertips gently tapped his knees, and every touch seemed to resonate with the throbbing in his heart. Although he tried to maintain a calm appearance, his heartbeat was actually as rapid and powerful as a drumbeat.

He imagined the moment the door opened, Wang Zhaojun's slightly shy but courageous face would come into view. Their eyes would meet at that moment, and without further words, they would know each other's intentions. He longed to capture the tenderness and determination in Wang Zhaojun's eyes, which was a signal that they would move towards the future together.

But... after a long while, he didn't hear the knock on the door that he was expecting. Mingduo couldn't wait any longer, so he quickly walked to the door, took a long breath, grabbed the bolt, and pulled the door open with all his strength.

Just as Wang Zhaojun was about to knock on the door, the two doors suddenly opened. Qian Mingduo stood behind the door, his eyes full of expectation and endless love.

"Zijian," Wang Zhaojun said gently, "I... am here." She slowly stretched out her hands to Qian Mingduo, her eyes revealing deep love.

"Do you miss me?" Wang Zhaojun turned around and looked at Qian Mingduo closing the door, and asked softly.

"I miss you," Qian Mingduo said hastily, "I'm going crazy thinking about you." He squatted slightly, spread his arms, and instantly picked up Wang Zhaojun lightly. Her hands naturally wrapped around his neck, her face filled with surprise and shyness.

Qian Mingduo carefully carried Wang Zhaojun to the bedside, his movements were so gentle as if he was holding a precious and fragile treasure in his arms. He gently placed her on the large bed covered with gorgeous brocade, and every detail revealed his care and love for her.

At this moment, the tacit understanding and expectations between the two do not need to be expressed in words. They understand each other's intentions and emotions tacitly. This tacit understanding allows them to feel each other's deep desires and expectations, and makes them cherish this relationship even more.

In this quiet and warm room, time seemed to have frozen. Qian Mingduo stared at Wang Zhaojun quietly, his eyes full of affection and tenderness. Wang Zhaojun closed her eyes slightly, with a happy smile on her face, knowing that she was deeply loved at this moment.

In this quiet atmosphere, their hearts are connected and their emotions are blended. Without words, they can read each other's mind and feel each other's love. This tacit understanding and expectation make their love for each other more firm and deep.

The pleasure after the pain just now made Wang Zhaojun gasp for air. At this moment, her head was resting on Qian Mingduo's broad chest, and her breathing had become steady and slow.

Touching the scars on Qian Mingduo's chest that had just healed, Wang Zhaojun couldn't help but shed tears slowly.

"Crying?" Qian Mingduo felt the tears on his chest and said gently, "What's wrong?"

"Zijian" Wang Zhaojun kissed the scar softly, "You have given too much for me."

"Zhaojun, don't say that." Qian Mingduo stroked Wang Zhaojun's jade-like back. "For you, I can do anything."

"I know." Wang Zhaojun said softly, and she looked up at Qian Mingduo. There was no need for words between them. With just a glance or a smile, they could understand each other's tenderness and desire.

That night, Wang Zhaojun and Qian Mingduo were happy in this world that belonged only to the two of them... like dewdrops in the morning light, naturally condensing and sliding down, and then gathering again not long after.

That night, Qian Mingduo and Wang Zhaojun experienced several spiritual collisions and physical fusions. Each time was like the first light of dawn, fresh and full of expectation. These moments, though brief, were dazzling and unforgettable.

The fifth watch was ringing, and it was time for them to separate.

Wang Zhaojun put on her clothes silently and walked to the door. Just as she was about to open the door, she turned around and said calmly: "I... Zhaojun gave my perfect body to my Zijian tonight. This life... is worth it!"

The moment Wang Zhaojun opened the door, the snowflakes outside, like a group of disturbed white butterflies, fluttered into the house.
