Do not kiss the king

A burst of crisp silver bells aroused the joy of the children running and jumping. The little boy stood in front of him, his white and beautiful figure seemed to be embedded in the brightly colored lights.

He keeps going forward, and he keeps looking back.

He kept smiling, and kept imprinting the beauty and sound in Chi Jinnian's memory.

"Jin Lang!"

Ruan Yuan shouted, hid in the crowd lightly, and appeared behind a certain yellow or red lantern.

The little boy was mischievous and hilarious, and the dignified prince finally couldn't hide his smile.

Chi Jinnian took his hand, and the two of them stopped under a row of lanterns printed with peach blossoms, looking at the light on each other's faces.

Suddenly, Chi Jinnian took out something from his cuff, spread out the young master's palm and put it in.

The young master's eyes were widened by the coolness of his palm, his gaze fell on the white jade pendant, and his fingers tightened subconsciously when he flicked it.

The word on the jade pendant is no longer "Ye", but "Yuan".

He raised his head slightly and met the man's eyes, the words stuck in his throat, choking.

"This jade pendant..."

"This jade pendant,"

The two spoke at the same time, one obediently stopped the sound, the other closed his palms and continued domineeringly,

"It was my birthday gift from you when I was a child."

"I've worn them for years."

"Later we were entangled by pursuers, and it blocked an arrow for me, and it shattered."

"Now," Chi Jinnian put a palm on his hand, "you put it on for me again."

"In the future, I will never let it leave my side."

Something is blooming in the heart, the atrium is bursting with heat, but sweetness gushes out.

Ruan Yuan endured the surging waves in his eyes, and did not answer, but held up the jade pendant with both hands, and tied it carefully around Chi Jinnian's waist.

Fingers pull the red rope back and forth, alternately, and tighten.

The heart vibrates, trembles, and turbulently with the breeze.

"All right."

He raised his head, squinted his eyes slightly, pretending that the wind had cooked the tip of his nose,

"Jin Lang, we can talk about it."

"This jade pendant, you are not allowed to take it off again."

Chi Jinnian's eyes were still deep, and he couldn't see any emotion, but his hands hugged the little man in full view, and his affection was instantly ignited, and fire blossomed in his heart.

Young Master Xiaoqiao buried her head in his chest, regardless of the gazes from all directions falling on her body, she only knew that the jade pendant was very cold, so cold that it burned into his heart.

The silver bells were still dancing with the wind, the children were still running around under the lights, the prince and the son were still embracing each other in the crowd.

The man in white sitting on the eaves is still holding a jug of wine like that, and the man in black who is holding back his thoughts somewhere is still gritting his teeth like that.

And the woman who practiced in the deep mountains still looked at the moon and blushed.

"girl."

There was a knock on the door, Li Wuyue put away her thoughts and answered.

"Tomorrow, the girl's practice is over, and our priest has decided..."

The man paused,

"not see."

Li Wuyue opened her eyes wide, took a deep breath, and almost fell to the door, holding onto the doorknob with one hand to stand still.

"why?"

She opened the door with a bang, and looked at the person in front of her in disbelief.

Before he could ask the next sentence, the man continued,

"Girl, don't worry, we Daoist priest, we still have something to tell the girl."

He raised his head,

"Girls have something they want to do, just do it boldly."

"With a strong heart, everything can be accomplished."

----------

When Li Wuyue returned to Luozhou City, there was no longer that dense bamboo forest beside the city gate.

The burden in his hand fell to the ground suddenly, his shoulders seemed overwhelmed, tears fell down in horror, but he didn't bother to wipe them.

She rushed into the wreckage of the bamboo forest like crazy, and her heart hung high when she saw the dilapidated entrance of the inn.

"My lord, my lord..."

She murmured, Liushen Wuzhu searched in the inn, her tears became more and more violent, her panic became more and more oppressive, but she didn't respond.

"My lord, my lord, my lord!"

Li Wuyue shouted, her voice was sharp, and the crows on the tree over there flew away in an instant.

She looked at the charred wood, clenched her fists tightly, gathered herself together, and then ran out of the inn, ran out of the bamboo forest to pick up the burden, and ran all the way to the temple where she lived.

She looked at the big tree where the stranger stood that night, and heard the rustling sound of the wooden signs on the steps lifted by the wind, her panic and anxiety finally broke out in her throat,

"You asked me to go to Mount Sanqing, I went..."

"Now that I'm back, I have nowhere to go..."

"What should I do, tell me!"

The big tree had fewer leaves, and there was no sign of the man anymore.

Li Wuyue supported the tree trunk with one hand, but she still couldn't stand, and cried heart-rendingly.

Suddenly, a hand was patted on the shoulder, Li Wuyue choked on crying, turned her head abruptly, and saw a familiar yet immature face.

The little girl looked at her, her eyes were red, she couldn't speak, but her lips were parted, making a faint hoarseness.

"Xiao Luo!"

Li Wuyue yelled, almost threw herself on her, and hugged her tightly in her arms.

"What's wrong, why are you here..."

"Where is the prince, where is the inn..."

Xiao Luo's shoulders trembled violently, and he wrapped his arms around her waist, tears wet a piece of her clothes.

The two reunited after a long absence, hugged and wept for a long time, a little nun passed by, recognized Li Wuyue, and hurried over and said,

"Since the girl left Luozhou, why did she come back?"

"Luozhou has suffered such a disastrous defeat, and it's too late for others to escape."

Li Wuyue let go of Xiao Luo, and patted her on the back comfortingly, her tears were still unconsciously falling down,

"Little aunt, what happened to Luozhou City?"

The nun shook her head, eyes filled with pain,

"There was a big fire that night, and many monsters came out, looting Luozhou City."

"Our temple is also unsustainable."

"Now, if the girl wants to live here again, I'm afraid..."

Li Wuyue wiped away her tears, nodded, took Xiao Luo's hand with one hand, and clenched it tightly.

"Thank you, little aunt."

"Xiao Luo and I will leave soon, we won't cause trouble to the temple."

The little nun gave her a guilty look and left.

Li Wuyue took out a handkerchief to wipe off the tears on Xiao Luo's face,

"Xiao Luo, where is the prince now?"

Xiao Luo spread out her palm and wrote the word "Youtong" on it with his fingers.

Li Wuyue smiled at her, her tone was firmer than ever before,

"Okay, then we will go to Youtong to find the prince."

"I'll send a letter later, and all future pigeons will not be in Luozhou."

The prince is fine, she is fine, then one day the wish will come true.

After all, who else has a stronger heart than her.

-----------

The carriage stopped.

Ruan Yuan opened his sleepy eyes, and raised his head leaning against Chi Jinnian's arm.

"My lord, we've arrived at Shenyue Valley."

Gu Cong's voice came from outside the car curtain.

Chi Jinnian opened the curtain with one hand, his eyes fell on the woods outside, and then turned his head to look at the deer sticking to his side,

"After driving for a few days, get out of the car and take a rest."

"Shen Yuegu, I really wanted to bring you here, but I didn't expect to bring you here."

Ruan Yuan looked up at him, puzzled, but couldn't help yawning,

"What does your lord mean by this?"

Chi Jinnian stroked his head, his eyes were quiet,

"There is a clear spring in Shenyue Valley, you will like it."

"As for Shenyue Valley, if you go a few tens of miles further, there will be no forests, clear springs, and only yellow sand."

"It's a last resort to come to Youtong this time."

Ruan Yuan came to his senses, smiled at him, and put his head on his chest intimately,

"What's wrong with the yellow sand? With the prince here, I can bear any suffering."

As Ruan Yuan spoke, his eyelashes trembled a few times.

He remembered that Chi Jinnian told him that when he was 14 years old, he went to Youtong.

At that time, how did that child survive for so many years in the yellow sand everywhere, knowing his tragic fate.

"Get out of the car."

When Chi Jinnian said something, he interrupted his upwelling emotions, and his tears were held back.

"Ah."

Ruan Yuan responded and followed the tall man out of the car.

Gu Cong lit a fire in front of him to warm up the wine.

Chi Jinnian took out the accompanying food from his bag and put it in Ruan Yuan's arms.

"you eat first."

"I'm going to take a shower."

Ruan Yuan took the food, agreed, and watched him walk away, disappearing behind the big trees.

He watched for a long time, and the crackling sound of burning wood echoed in his ears, but it got farther and farther away.

"My lord likes the clear spring in Shenyue Valley the most."

"Warm up the wine later, the princess will send it to the prince."

Ruan Yuan broke the pancake in half and handed it to Gu Cong, with a smile on his lips,

"Come on, you eat too."

"Later, you can also pour a glass of wine, and I will send it to the prince."

Gu Cong nodded silently, took the cake he handed over, and didn't want to put it into his mouth for a while, the two sat quietly like this, with their own thoughts in mind.

When Ruan Yuan walked to the spring with the wine, he saw that the prince had black hair loose, his body on the surface of the pool was naked, and the scars on his muscular back muscles were clearly visible.

The hand holding the wine trembled slightly, and the wine glass almost fell to the ground. He exclaimed, the prince turned around abruptly when he heard the sound, his eyes met, and there was a crisp silver bell.

"Jin Lang, drink."

Ruan Yuan held the wine glass steady and smiled.

The prince hooked his hands at him,

"come over."

Ruan Yuan walked over obediently, feeling a long-lost warmth lingering in his heart.

He kept walking, but Chi Jinnian didn't stop, so he didn't stop.

The surface of the pool did not reach the waist, but the hand holding the wine was still steady.

"stop."

The man said something, walked up to him, picked up the flagon and filled a glass of wine, drank it in one gulp, poured two more glasses, and held it in front of him.

"You forgot my cup of wine with you."

"Let's drink again and get married again, that's great."

"I want you to know," Chi Jinnian's deep eyes suddenly began to tremble violently, and uncontrollable emotions came out, constantly beating on Ruan Yuan's heart,

"You are the wife that Ming Media is marrying."

"My concubine Jin has been with me for life..."

"If one wins, all wins, and if one loses, I will lose alone."

Ruan Yuan looked at him, tears suddenly collapsed, but the corners of his mouth were raised high.

He took the wine glass, walked around Chi Jinnian's arm, lifted it up, and the warm liquid automatically flowed into the throat.

This time it was hot, this time it was affectionate.

"Jin Lang, live with me forever..."

He put the wine glass back on the plate and let the plate float on the lake, holding Chi Jinnian's face in his hands,

"One is prosperous, and one is lost."

As soon as the words fell, the lips solemnly fell on the prince's mouth, domineeringly blocking any rebuttals.

No matter how loathed and resented he was before, now his whole body and heart are in this man's arms.

The lips touched lightly, gradually became harder, gradually became crazy, and even the sound of breathing hit the surface of the pool heavily, causing a layer of ripples.

Chi Jinnian tightened his ring around him and gradually moved to the heart of the pool.

The crumbling bun on the young master's head was scattered, and the long hair fell on the surface of the pool, sank in, and spread out like flowers.

The clothes also unknowingly peeled off, and floated lightly in the center of the pool. When he realized it again, he had already floated to the shore, and he could no longer reach it.

Forget it, let it go.

Ruan Yuan closed his eyes, and there was some strength at the bottom of the pool to support his body. His legs were sandwiched between Chi Jinnian's waist, and his fair skin was exposed on the surface of the pool just like Chi Jinnian.

The prince kissed the young master's lips, kissed the young master's neck, and then moved down.

The prince and the son, life after life, once fused, it is difficult to separate.

The author has something to say:

Chi Jinnian: "One marriage and one bridal chamber in Shenyue Valley, do you still like it?"

Ruan Yuan [shy]: "Remove the bridal chamber."

Chi Jinnian [hesitates]: "You don't like having a bridal chamber with me?"

Ruan Yuan: "Ah, this...not..." [gesturing panickedly]

Chi Jinnian [laughs]
