The two of them expressed their feelings, and naturally they had a deep affection. The emperor carried Chen Ning back to the hall, knowing that according to her temperament, he gave up his relatives and friends just to be with him, and his tenderness almost swept the sky and covered him. He gently placed her on the bed, murmured with apologies, kissed her forehead, her nose, and her face, and finally fell on her lips, and printed it with great gentleness...
After the entanglement, the two of them lay hugged each other on the bed. Chen Ning listened to his calm heartbeat and told him his secrets.
"In our place, there are many things you have never seen before. There are planes like birds in the sky that can carry people to all over the world, and trains and cars underground to replace carriages. It takes only one or two hours to go from Changyang to Yuzhou. No matter how far away you can call through something like a telephone or computer, and you can hear sounds and see people..." Chen Ning proudly explained to the ancient emperors social changes and historical development.
These were like myths to the emperor, but he just listened seriously.
"In our country, men and women are equal. Girls can go to school, work when they grow up, and walk freely on the streets. And summer is here..." Chen Ning curled his lips, "I wear short clothes and short sleeves, and there is no need to cover my arms and legs."
Dong Yuheng raised his eyebrows, and finally said lightly: "Nonsense."
Chen Ning patted him gently, "You just say I'm nonsense, then don't you believe me if I say something else?"
"Then I won't say that," although Dong Yuheng was curious about another world and wanted to explore the civilization of the future world, he was afraid that she would arouse her homesickness more and more, so he turned to ask, "How did you get to the great scenery?"
"I just said that I am really a soldier, but now we are a peaceful country. I have never been to the battlefield, I just participated in the drill. Then we accidentally dug up the black jade lucky beast. I just looked at it and felt that there was a blank space in front of me. It seemed that I suddenly fell into a deep abyss. When I opened my eyes, I went to a strange forest. There was no one quietly around me. I shouted the name of my comrades, but no one responded. This kind of instant movement was also extremely incredible to us. I held back my calmness and ran down the path," she stopped, "and then, I met Li Ziqi. He was sitting in a sedan chair, wearing clothes that were very strange to me... Of course, he saw that I was also strange... I was wearing Chinese military uniforms at that time, with short hair, and only here." Chen Ning compared with his hands.
Dong Yuheng asked: "How could it be so short?"
"We can cut our hair there."
Dong Yuheng frowned, as if he couldn't understand why his parents were so unkind.
"Then he took me back to the Li family. When I first arrived in another world, I was confused. I didn't know how I came from, I didn't know if I could go back, I didn't know why I came to this world... I was actually very scared, I didn't know what my destiny would be like, it was Ziqi who..."
Speaking of this, the emperor couldn't help pinching her again.
Chen Ning stood up angrily, "Yuheng, you can't always do this. If Ziqi hadn't kindly taken me in and helped me, I might have died in Yunzhou long ago. Where would I have met you?"
Dong Yuheng heard her say it, very unhappy, but knew that what she was talking about was the truth. She was a young woman who was penniless and dressed in strange clothes. If she had no Li Ziqi, she would have...
"He is really my great benefactor and great savior! He has been silently protecting me, you cannot treat my savior like this!"
"Didn't you marry him to repay your kindness?" Dong Yuheng said sourly.
Chen Ning was speechless again, and inserted his waist with a female yaksha attitude, saying, "Are you going to return his ashes to the Li family!"
Dong Yuheng curled his lips, took her back in his arms, and said reluctantly: "Okay, I am not an ungrateful person." In order to protect Chen Ning, he would do anything to repay this kindness.
Chen Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what he said.
Extra - New Year
It's the New Year again in a blink of an eye.
During the Chinese New Year, the emperor was always very busy, and Chen Ning was not idle either. The two did not get idle until the fifth day of the Chinese New Year.
Both of them slept later than usual this day. After breakfast, Dong Yuheng asked Chen Ning to go to the Imperial Garden to appreciate the plum blossoms. Chen Ning did not want to meet the people in the harem, so he shook his head and refused. He coaxed Dong Yuheng to admire two red plum trees in an alley in Qiankun Palace, and also pulled him to pile up a small snowman together.
Dong Yuheng was afraid that Chen Ning would get frostbite again, so he didn't let her play more. Chen Ning threw the snowball on the emperor with a heartless heart.
The two of them had a mess, and Dong Yuheng took her to the study and instructed Lianyan to prepare pastries, afraid that the delicious concubine would be hungry.
The two entered the study. Several fire barns that had been set by the maid were burning very vigorously. The fragrance of the incense beast was burning with the noble ambergris. The emperor waited for Chen Ning's free time to polish the ink. He stood by the window pavilion and looked at the cold fragrances that were more beautiful in the snow. He turned around and looked at Chen Ning who had carefully polished the ink with his sleeves. His focused side face was more pleasing to the eye than the red plum.
Chen Ning grinded for a long time, raised his head and asked if he had enough. Dong Yuheng walked over and looked at it, nodded, took a branch of Chinese calligraphy, and began to lower his head to make ink. Chen Ning stood beside him and looked at the fire bar next to the desk and sat next to the fire bar, stretched his hands forward to absorb warmth, but he also turned his head to look at the emperor's side face. The study room was very quiet, and there seemed to be no one outside. A piece of snow slid from the leaves, making a light sound.
After a long time, the emperor's slightly low summons came from the desk, "Gyrin the ink."
Chen Ning came to his senses and immediately got up and walked to him, took the ink stick and grinded it. He glanced at the things he had drawn. The snow-capped wintersweet first appeared, and it turned out to be a snow scene.
Dong Yuheng stopped writing a little and explained: "Don't have to be too thick."
Chen Ning had to carefully grasp the temperature.
More than an hour passed in a blink of an eye, and the beautiful scenery of the imperial pen was revealed. In the painting, a beautiful woman stood in front of the budding plum pistils, with her waist and looking at her. Dong Yuheng lit the red plum petals with cinnabar, and asked her to take a small calligraphy to start to describe the woman's appearance in detail.
Seeing him bent down and raised his brush strokes very carefully, Chen Ning couldn't help but hold his breath and concentrate. It was difficult to draw bones for people, and this simple technique only showed the charm in these few strokes.
Soon, Dong Yuheng took a breath and raised his body. Chen Ning fixed his eyes. The woman in the painting welcomed the snow and enjoyed the plum blossoms. Each person and the scenery were so beautiful. But the beauty's appearance... she couldn't help but blush her cheeks.
"How?" the emperor asked suddenly.
Chen Ning looked up, covered the shyness and joy in his eyes, cleared his throat, "It looks good..."
Dong Yuheng himself was not satisfied with the painting's praise. "I haven't started writing for a long time, and I'm still a little unfamiliar." He paused and said, "Do you see this beauty look a little stupid and dull?"
"..." You are stupid and dull! Chen Ning glared at him angrily and said, "I think this beauty is very beautiful."
Dong Yuheng was stunned and laughed loudly. Chen Ning's cheeks turned red by his laughter, and he said coquettishly.
Dong Yuheng finally stopped laughing, shook his head and pulled out a pen, and wrote on the side: "The benefits of spring in the year are not the thick fragrance, but the sparse fragrance is the softest." Then he said, "Ninger will write the title."
"I'm afraid of destroying your masterpiece." Chen Ning was quite self-aware.
"I will write it together with you." He waved his hand and gave up his seat.
Chen Ning was more respectful than obedient. He walked over and took the wolf hair he handed over, bowed to the ink. Dong Yuheng surrounded her from behind, and held her small hand with his big palm.
Her broad chest was against her slender back, and she seemed to feel the heat even in her winter clothes. Chen Ning turned his head slightly and smiled and pressed against his face.
"Be serious." Dong Yuheng coughed dryly and said to her ears. The warm breath teased her nerves. It seemed that something gently touched her earlobe.
The ears were a little hot, Chen Ning complained in his heart, he told her to be serious, and he teased her again. Just when she was dissatisfied, the emperor had gently pressed her down, held her hand, and flew on the paper horizontally and vertically.
In a moment, the four slightly stiff but elegant ink words are inscribed on the left, which is "Steping on the Snow and Looking for Plum Blossoms".
The emperor still held her hand and looked at it for a while before slowly letting it go. Then he held her and took out a brocade bag from his sleeve. It was a square jade seal inside, but the size of a palm was indeed one of the emperor's jade seals. It was printed on the ink treasure, which was the word "Chenhan" in Zhuhong, representing the emperor's imperial pen.
Chen Ning turned his head and softly printed a kiss, "Thank you."
Dong Yuheng smiled and was kind to the beauty.
After finishing the painting, Dong Yuheng was a little tired and lay on the warm kang. While asking Chen Ning to feed the snacks, she asked her to read to him.
She cleared her throat and slowly started reading. She read very slowly, without the ups and downs of the current students. Dong Yuheng supported her body and stared at her reading, not knowing how much she heard.
Suddenly, she saw her pause and quickly looked at him and continued reading. Dong Yuheng frowned, "Show me."
Chen Ning had no choice but to move the book to him.
"It's not 'Chen'." The emperor said lightly after seeing it.
Chen Ning was caught and stuck out his tongue, and responded with the advice.
Dong Yuheng chuckled, and listened to her slowly continue reading, slowly closing her eyes.
Chen Ning saw that he was asleep, and knew that he was tired. He closed the book and curled his lips and stared at his sleeping face. For a long time, she gently printed a kiss on his forehead.
