Chapter 119 Drinking Song

He quickly stepped forward, looking at Emperor Wu in alarm.

"It's alright." His eyes were red, but he refused Wan Yancheng's offer to help him up.

"Your Majesty, let's go back." Wan Yancheng truly felt sorry for Emperor Wu.

"Take another look." He carefully examined the palace, trying to find any trace of its existence in the smallest details.

Wan Yancheng had always thought that Emperor Wu was a great and wise man, whose magnanimity and courage were unmatched. But today, he suddenly realized that even the person he revered as a god could experience setbacks, helplessness, and unfulfilled desires.

There were many bamboo slips on the bedside table, all containing tales of strange and unusual events. A scene flashed through my mind.

“Ah Zhi, I can’t sleep, will you read to me?”

"it is good."

With the candlelight flickering, he held the bamboo slips on the couch and told her stories.

There was a cotton pillow on the tatami mat.

Everyone says that one can rest easy when one is in a comfortable position, but she didn't like that, so Emperor Wu removed her from the list of carefree people without hesitation.

"Azhi has heard that Shi Yiguang's 'Sounding Clogs Dance' is extremely beautiful. Would you like to see it?"

"Ah Zhi, you're so kind. I love this corridor."

"Ah Zhi, I'll dance for you."

"Ah Zhi, am I beautiful?"

“Ah Zhi…”

He slumped down on the footstool in front of the bed.

"Your Majesty," Wan Yancheng frowned, about to say something, "You may leave now. Let me be alone for a while."

......

Huo Jingheng took Jin Huan on a spring outing.

No one else accompanied him.

No one rides mares here. The war is tense and border resources are scarce. Mares need to give birth to foals to supply the war effort, so not riding mares has almost become an unwritten rule.

Jin Huan was quite skilled at horseback riding, and when he raced against Huo Jingheng, there was nothing he couldn't beat. Now that the speed had slowed down, the two chatted casually.

Where is Huan'er's hometown?

"In that northwestern region, at the source of the three rivers."

Huo Jingheng knew that she had no parents, so he stopped asking here and didn't ask any more questions, afraid of touching on her sad memories.

Enjoying themselves, they dismounted and walked along the path between the fields.

"Ah Lang, look, this place is so beautiful." "If you like it, we'll come here often."

"Will you still be leading troops to the border in the future?" Jin Huan could see that Huo Jingheng's life was not long, and it might end around the time she was about to leave, which was why she asked this question.

"I will obey Your Majesty's decree. I do not wish to stay here. The border is more carefree and comfortable. The capital is a place of trouble." Huo Jingheng did not hold back much in front of Jin Huan.

She leaned gently against Huo Jingheng's chest: "Wherever you go, Huan'er will go with you."

Huo Jingheng felt a warmth in his heart; these words were truly heartwarming. He gently pulled the person into his arms, his eyes filled with tenderness.

Jin Huan noticed that the love lines on the Shen Huan Pearl had grown longer, and her mood brightened considerably.

"Ah Lang, I'm hungry."

"I brought some flatbread."

"I don't want to eat meat. Let's go hunting, and you can roast a rabbit for me." She didn't want the flatbread. "Okay."

He handles these things with great skill, just as he did before in the borderlands, except that back then there were mostly birds and fowl, while now there are many more edible things.

She wasn't really hungry, she was just craving something sweet...

Liu Zhi fed her too well, and after suffering some hardships with Huo Jingheng on the frontier, she became increasingly craving meat and disliked eating pancakes.

The rabbit meat was roasted until it sizzled and dripped with oil, and it smelled incredibly delicious.

Skewered on a wooden stick, the rabbit meat also had a hint of fruitwood aroma, making it incredibly tempting.

Huo Jingheng gave her the first one that was baked.

Jin Huan took the twig and carefully blew air onto the rabbit meat.

"Huhuhu~"

She has a lovely and charming appearance.

"Clatter clatter clatter~ Whoa!" The sound of horses' hooves rang out from behind.

Huo Jingheng turned his head and was stunned when he saw who it was.
