The Prince Consort's Beloved

New Year's Eve is approaching.

Every household was decorated with lights and lanterns, some put up couplets, some hung lanterns, and even the streets were hung with long red lanterns.

When the lights are on at night, the sea of red is breathtakingly beautiful.

People began to get busy, preparing New Year's goods and slaughtering ducks and chickens.

From time to time, firecrackers could be heard outside. It was the children playing. As the old year came to an end and the new year began, the whole city was filled with laughter.

Li Youan brought firecrackers to play with, and he lit them and threw them at Li Yuanrou's feet. Li Yuanrou was frightened and cried...

When Li Yuanrou was a child, she was frightened by children in the community who threw firecrackers. She was scared to tears at the time, and since then she has been particularly afraid of firecrackers.

She is not afraid of the normal situation of setting off firecrackers at the door. She is afraid of the firecrackers going off at her feet, and she can't suppress her instinctive fear.

This made Li Youan very happy, and he was as excited as if he had opened the door to a new world.

The consequence was that in order to avoid his cannons, Li Yuanrou became Xiao Luobai's human pendant, hanging on Xiao Luobai all day long, and became the real "conjoined twins" in Luo Xing's mouth.

The lights are on and the night is still long.

Xiao Luobai held Li Yuanrou's hand and strolled on the brightly lit street. Li Yuanrou couldn't help but sigh.

The Chinese New Year in the past seemed to have nothing to do with her. Her father could not rest even on New Year’s Eve and had to work hard to make money. She spent too much lonely time alone.

Now she can greet the new year with her beloved, and is surrounded by a group of loyal servants and friends. How can she not feel emotional?

She turned to look at Xiao Luobai, her heart in a turmoil, and she was choked up for a moment.

Human beings are very magical and advanced animals. They can be strong and indestructible, or fragile and break at the slightest touch.

Li Yuanrou was very glad to have Xiao Luobai by her side, allowing her to snuggle with him when she was vulnerable.

On the long Red Sea Street, Li Yuanrou gently hugged Xiao Luobai.

Xiao Luobai sensed her depression and patted her on the back, his voice cold and gentle: "What's wrong?"

Li Yuanrou sighed: "Nothing, I just want to hug you."

She leaned her head against Xiao Luobai's arms and arched her back, the cool scent of soapberries filling her nose.

She took a deep breath greedily, and her voice slowly rang out: "Sometimes I suddenly feel a little tired, sometimes I suddenly feel lonely, and sometimes I wonder if I can't survive if I'm alone, but now you are by my side, it's great."

She raised her head, her eyes slightly red: "The God of Destiny really favors me."

Xiao Luobai kissed her forehead and held her hand tighter.

He looked up at the lanterns all over the city and said with emotion: "The lights are so bright and prosperous in the ten miles, and I only wish that my life will remain the same as it was in the beginning. I will not care about the worldly affairs, and let the years pass by."

Li Yuanrou was illiterate, but she thought these words sounded beautiful.

Xiao Luobai's brows relaxed, and a hint of tenderness appeared in his eyes. He spoke softly, "I was originally a guest who would never return, but I stayed because of you."

Li Yuanrou smiled and asked him, "What do you mean, Tanhualang?"

Xiao Luobai suddenly picked her up and spun her around, causing Li Yuanrou to scream.

Xiao Luobai laughed wantonly: "It means, I love you!"

When Li Yuanrou was put on the ground by him, she was still dizzy and almost lost her balance. Xiao Luobai supported her in time, with tenderness and love in his eyes. He put his forehead against hers and repeated in a low voice: "I love you."

Li Yuanrou's eyebrows curved, and she climbed up his neck on tiptoe: "Me too."

Xiao Luobai raised his eyebrows and said, "Take you for a flight?"

As he spoke, he grabbed her slender waist and jumped up.

Li Yuanrou was so frightened that her face turned pale. She hugged his neck tightly and said anxiously, "Go down quickly, go down quickly. I am afraid of heights."

Xiao Luobai laughed freely, his laughter was as free as the wind, as if it could penetrate the constraints of time and space.

There was a cool and gentle look between his brows, which made people intoxicated.

Xiao Luobai held her in his arms and jumped over two rooftops before putting her down.

Li Yuanrou was terrified and patted her chest: "Xiao Luobai, I will die on you sooner or later."

Xiao Luobai raised his eyebrows slightly and asked her cynically, "Madam, what are you saying again?"

Li Yuanrou reacted immediately and her face flushed.

Xiao Luobai raised his lips and asked her deliberately: "Hmm? So will you die on me or under me?"

Li Yuanrou became angry and chased him, beating him all the way.

Xiao Luobai deliberately ran until Li Yuanrou was about to catch up and then suddenly quickened his pace, resulting in Li Yuanrou not being able to hit him along the way.

Li Yuanrou finally realized what seemed familiar. Isn't this the same as Kunpeng teasing Qingluan? It is true that the servant resembles his master!

Li Yuanrou squatted on the ground and gasped for breath. Xiao Luobai turned back and squatted to look at her. Li Yuanrou asked him: "How many years has Kunpeng been with you?"

Xiao Luobai thought for a moment and said, "I forgot, but he has been with me the longest, so what's wrong?"

Li Yuanrou chuckled inwardly, thinking that I learned all this from you.

She jumped onto Xiao Luobai's back and said, "I can't walk anymore. Carry me home."

Xiao Luobai raised his eyebrows slightly: "The carriage of the princess's mansion is right behind."

Li Yuanrou: “No matter!”

Xiao Luobai thought for a moment and said, "How about I carry you and fly back? We won't be afraid if we fly a few more laps."

Li Yuanrou: "Xiao Luobai, stop talking nonsense!"

Xiao Luobai smiled: "Then you can hug me well."

As he said this, he raised his hands and ran away.

Li Yuanrou was speechless after being tossed around by him. After enduring for a long time, she managed to utter, "You really are... full of energy."

Xiao Luobai said shamelessly: "Thank you, Madam, for your affirmation of your husband."

The night sky is full of twinkling stars, as if the Milky Way runs through the sky.

The lights are bright, like jumping flames lighting up the air.

Li Yuanrou leaned on his back, feeling a lot of emotions in her heart. She lowered her head and rubbed the back of his neck, her brows relaxed: "Xiao Luobai."

Xiao Luobai: "Hmm?"

Li Yuanrou smiled slightly: "From now on, among the thousands of lights in the house, there will be one for us."

The tone of his voice gradually became tinged with dependence: "Xiao Luobai, I miss you..."

"Even if you are right next to me, I still miss you. Do you know that feeling?"

"Xiao Luobai, you are so nice..."

Xiao Luobai paused, and a deep voice came: "Madam, let's save these words for later in bed."

Li Yuanrou was puzzled: "Hmm?"

Li Yuanrou choked immediately.

After realizing what was happening, she pounded his shoulder hard and roared, "Xiao Luobai! That's enough!"

Haha, the feeling of emotion disappeared in an instant.

Xiao Luobai carried Li Yuanrou all the way back to Qingmei Garden. After Li Yuanrou got down from the ground, Xiao Luobai grabbed her waist and jumped up, taking her to the roof.

She followed Xiao Luobai's gaze and saw that outside the Qingmei Garden, Daya was pulling Qingfeng's ear and saying something unknown. Qingfeng was being pulled away by her with his teeth bared.

Qingluan was practicing martial arts under the moonlight, Kunpeng was watching her from the dark, stroking something in his hands.

In the distant yard, several secret guards were drinking and eating meat, while Wangcai and Zhaocai were chasing each other in the mansion.

The years are quiet.

Li Yuanrou shuddered: "It's so cold, why don't we stay inside?"

Xiao Luobai narrowed his eyes: "That's what you said."

Li Yuanrou: “Hmm?”

a long time.

Li Yuanrou's roar resounded throughout the Green Plum Garden: "Xiao Luobai, do you have anything else to do!!!"

Xiao Luobai: "What did you call me?"

Li Yuanrou was so angry that she almost vomited blood, but she still shouted in a cowardly manner: "Husband..."

........................

That night, Xiao Luobai had a strange dream. He was wearing armor and standing on the edge of a cliff. The wind was howling, and there were pursuers coming from the front. They had no way to retreat.

Li Yuanrou nestled in his arms and cried sadly. He said, "If we can't sleep together in life, we'll be buried together in death!" Then the two of them fell off the cliff together.

The next day, Xiao Luobai woke up early. He was puzzled by the dream and finally thought it was just a random dream.

He turned his head to look at the person who was still sleeping beside him, and a thousand tender feelings rose in his heart.

He looked at her and smiled, his eyes as gentle as water.

Fall off the cliff together? Impossible.

He had waited so long for her, and he couldn't lose her no matter what, even if they had to die together!

He wanted the two of them to live together, to live happily...

He wants to give her all his love and tenderness...

He kissed her gently between the eyebrows, then tiptoed out of bed, quietly sat down at the table and picked up a pen.

When Li Yuanrou woke up, she saw a piece of paper folded beside the bed. She curiously opened it and saw a line of clear and elegant small characters:

The year is coming to an end, the stars are passing by

Farewell, fireworks every year

May you be safe every day and every night.

She pushed open the door and saw Xiao Luobai setting up a swing for her under a tree outside.

Life is calm, but it is full of tenderness.
