Chapter 75: Lonely Grave
The streets of Kyoto City are very lively before the curfew time, so it is not particularly unusual for a carriage to leave the city. Moreover, the person in the carriage is King Xuan, and the Imperial Guards guarding the gate did not dare to stop him and let him pass.
Shen Xian was wrapped in a thick cloak, and Shi Ling moved the charcoal brazier towards her because she was afraid that she would be cold.
"Your Majesty..."
"You don't have to call me that."
Shen Xian tilted her head: "Then what should I call you?"
Call me husband? Oops, we haven’t even gone to the church to get married yet.
Shi Ling smiled and said, "Think about it yourself."
Just think about it.
"Shi Ling?"
Shi Ling frowned dissatisfied: "Too unreasonable."
How many people in the world dare to call you by your name?
Shen Xian could only continue to think, "Aling?"
Shi Ling frowned even more.
"I'll just think about it again. Why are you so cruel?"
"When did I hurt you?"
Shen Xian was innocent: "The look in your eyes just now was obviously saying that your name is so ugly. This Shen Xian is so rude!"
Shi Ling: "..."
He looked at Shen Xian's aggrieved expression with both laughter and tears: "I didn't. Think about it slowly, I won't make any expressions anymore."
Shen Xian turned her head with satisfaction, touched her chin and began to think seriously.
After a long while, Shi Ling couldn't help but ask: "You haven't thought about it yet?"
"Don't worry, there is still time to prepare for the scientific examination. You can't even give me some time to think, right?"
Shi Ling nodded helplessly: "Okay."
He raised his hand and grabbed the hand on the side. It still felt a little cold, so he wrapped her hand in his big hand.
Shen Xian had been thinking seriously, and after a long time she said: "I remember that His Majesty called you Ziqing, is this your petite name?"
Shi Ling: "It was given by my father when I was born. It means a humble gentleman, modest and prudent."
"Then let me call you Ziqing, okay?" After saying this, Ling retorted without waiting and shouted twice cheerfully, "Ziqing, Ziqing!"
Shi Ling was in a good mood when she called her.
He smiled and pinched her face: "Okay, whatever you call Ruan Ruan is fine."
Shen Xian frowned strangely: "How did you know that my maiden name is Ruan Ruan?"
"Is it hard to know?"
It doesn't seem too difficult. She prefers her nickname to Xian, so she often puts her nickname on her lips. People close to her call her Ruan Ruan.
She quite liked it when Shi Ling called her that.
He smiled, suddenly thought of what happened during the day, and asked, "Why is Your Majesty here today?"
"I invited you here."
really.
Shi Ling: "Originally, I just wanted to let others see His Majesty's interest in this marriage and make some people give up. Who knew something like this would happen."
Who are some people?
"If you help me so much today, I will become a thorn in the eyes of those noble ladies in the future."
Shi Ling sneered and looked at her: "What? Are you, Miss Shen Er, going to let yourself suffer?" After saying that, he frowned again: "Just don't use cruel tricks in the future. Take off your clothes. Isn't it cold?"
"Did you see it!?"
Shi Ling smiled and said nothing, with an expression of 'of course I saw it'.
Shen Xian tilted her head with a guilty conscience, and suddenly realized that her hand seemed to have been held by Shi Ling. She wanted to pull it back but felt it was quite warm, so she remained calm.
Not long after, the carriage suddenly stopped, and Ah Feng and Xiang Nong stepped off. Xiang Nong looked at the surroundings, which looked a bit gloomy. She shrank her neck and took out a lantern in fear.
This place is a wasteland outside the city, with grass half as tall as a man everywhere. The wind blows, revealing a lonely grave not far away.
Shi Ling got off the carriage first, and then stretched out his hand in front of Shen Xian. The latter didn't hesitate and grabbed his hand directly. Unexpectedly, the other hand immediately went to her waist and hugged her down. of.
"I can do it myself..."
Shi Ling smiled and said, "I want to hug you, is that okay?"
Shen Xian glared at him, feeling that he was too straightforward, so she pushed him away and prepared to leave by herself, but when she turned around, she felt scared when she saw this deserted place.
Shi Ling took her hand and squeezed it.
Then he took the fragrant lantern and asked Ah Feng to hand him the food he had prepared.
He said to Ah Feng and Xiang Nong, "Just wait here."
Xiang Nong nodded quickly.
With the prince here, the lady will definitely be fine, but this place is too scary. It is better to be safe by the carriage. After all, if something happens, she can run away immediately.
Shen Xian was led by him and walked towards the lonely grave not far away. Subconsciously, Shen Xian seemed to know who it was, so she didn't say anything more.
But the road was too difficult to walk, and her skirt was too long, always getting tangled up with the weeds. Just after she almost fell down for the third time, Shi Ling suddenly walked around in front of her and put the lantern into her hands. , then squatted down with his back to Shen Xian.
"Come up."
"Then you can't think I'm too important."
Shen Xian pursed her lips and smiled, then lay on his back.
Shi Ling's back was so broad and thick that Shen Xian couldn't hold on to his shoulders, so she buried her head into his shoulders half shyly and half happily.
Shi Ling stood up, weighed it, and said, "It's indeed not light."
Shen Xian was most afraid of getting fat. Didn't Shi Ling just say that she was fat?
So she pinched his waist in dissatisfaction. Shi Ling smiled and said, "Be careful, what if I drop you?"
"You dare, if you throw me, you will be responsible!"
Shi Ling lowered his head and grinned heartily. His laughter seemed to have been suppressed for a long time and finally opened up.
There was no third person in the vast world here, and there were scattered fireflies flying around them. Although it was dark all around, there was a lantern in Shen Xian's hand that gave out light, and there were fireflies guiding the way. Something in Shi Ling's heart began to feel. Some changes.
He turned his head and looked at Shen Xian, then pressed his forehead against Shen Xian's cheek: "Don't worry, I won't throw you."
Shen Xian smiled proudly and hugged him tightly.
When they reached the lonely grave, Shi Ling put her down, and Shen Xian stopped laughing and held the lamp for Shi Ling.
When Shi Ling approached the lonely grave, his expression began to feel a little down. He opened the food box and placed the food in front of the lonely grave one by one. The last dish was a few white and soft steamed buns.
As Shen Xian approached, the light illuminated the tombstone of the solitary grave.
The tomb of Brother Xiaoqian.
Shen Xian's nose suddenly became sore and she looked at Shi Ling with red eyes.
But he saw Shi Ling squatting in front of the tombstone and sweeping away the fallen leaves and dead grass, gently stroking the tombstone and murmuring: "Brother Xiao Qian, I haven't seen you for a long time. There have been too many things recently, you won't blame me, right?" ?”
After a pause, he suddenly turned to look at Shen Xian: "But this time I am not alone. I have a wife and I have brought you a sister-in-law."
When Shen Xian was mentioned, the latter immediately sniffed, glanced at Gufen and whispered: "I...should I say something?"
Shi Ling: "What do you want to say?"
Shen Xian immediately straightened her face and cleared her throat: "Brother Xiao Qian, I will treat Ziqing well in the future. I will never let him starve or suffer from cold, nor will I let him suffer from loneliness again. From now on, I will treat Ziqing well." His wife will always be by his side."
small theater:
If Brother Xiaoqian’s soul is still here.
Shi Ling: Brother, have you seen it? Have you seen my daughter-in-law who is so big and beautiful? I won’t give it to you.
Xiao Qian: What a good boy! Your brother and I have never been married in my life. Are you jealous of me?
