In early May, Emperor Qingde went to the Rehe Palace to escape the summer heat, and Li Zhi accompanied him as the commander of the imperial guards.

Three nights before departure, Li Zhi asked Chen Qingqing again if he wanted to go with him. Chen Qingqing followed his father to work in various places since he was a child. He knew the hardships of the bumpy road, so when Li Zhi spoke, Chen Qingqing refused without hesitation: "If you don't go, you won't go. The marquis asked several times, why bother to waste your lips and tongue again."

"The sky on the grassland is as blue as a gem, and the stars are shining at night, as if they are within reach. Do you really want to appreciate it?"

Li Zhi asked in a low voice, hugging Chen Qingqing's little waist.

Chen Qingqing snorted: "The sky in the capital is also very blue, and the stars are also very bright, so there is no need to go to the grassland to see it."

Li Zhi was silent for a moment and approached her ear and said, "I have a high position and power. The tribes on the grassland will win me over. If you don't go, they will definitely give me a beauty when they see me alone."

Chen Qingqing actually used such words to provoke her. Chen Qingqing smiled and said virtuously: "It's good to give a beauty, then I don't have to worry about no one serving the marquis."

"But before the birth of my legitimate son, I didn't want to waste my energy on other women." Li Zhi skillfully touched her waistband, "I'll go for at least three months before I go back. Are you alone in the boudoir, aren't you afraid of loneliness?"

His voice gradually became hoarse, and it was filled with seductive bewitching. Just as Chen Qingqing was about to say he was not afraid, Li Zhi suddenly turned over and pressed directly on her.

Chen Qingqing hurriedly closed her eyes.

"Go, you and I have the same bed in the past two months. If you don't go, I won't be able to sleep well." Li Zhi did not rush to ask her, but gently kissed her Daimei while she closed her eyes.

Chen Qingqing's heart trembled gently.

It was not because of Li Zhi's intimate actions, but because of his words.

Chen Qingqing remembers it very clearly. Her grandmother once said that her grandfather could not live without her, otherwise she would not be able to sleep at night.

Now Li Zhi actually said the same thing to her.

However, Chen Qingqing didn't believe that a husband who had just been married for two months would have such affection for her, especially this husband was Li Zhi.

"Whatever you say, I just won't go." Chen Qingqing pushed his face away and said.

She was firm in her attitude, Li Zhi thought about it and stopped persuading him.

The next evening, Li Zhi returned very early.

Jiang Yiyue was still learning painting with Chen Qingqing. When she saw Li Zhi, she said understandingly: "Brother Zhongchang will leave Beijing the next day. Sister-in-law and sister-in-law should accompany him more, I will come again tomorrow."

Chen Qingqing nodded and sent her out.

After returning, Chen Qingqing said to Li Zhi: "Your bag Arong has been packed. Do you want to check it again?"

Li Zhi shook his head, looked up and down at her, and said, "Go and change your clothes, let's go to the lake tonight."

Wanghu Tower is the most famous restaurant in the capital, and the nobles like to go there to have fun.

Chen Qingqing asked strangely: "Why are you going to eat well?"

Li Zhi smiled mysteriously: "You will know when you go."

Chen Qingqing was unwilling to go out with him, but when she thought that Li Zhi would leave the next day, she would soon have a good sleep for at least three months, Chen Qingqing was willing to let him do it once.

Chen Qingqing first went to change her clothes, and after changing, she went to the front yard to find Li Zhi. When she turned around the corridor, she saw that Li Zhi was already standing in the yard and waiting. In the brilliant and warm sunset, Li Zhi was wearing a round-necked robe with a sky-blue collar. When she heard her footsteps, Li Zhi turned around with a smile, with long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and a romantic and dashing figure like a god.

He stared at Chen Qingqing with affectionate eyes.

The sunset plated him with a soft golden color, and Chen Qingqing lowered her eyes. She couldn't help but think that she hadn't resisted Li Zhi's request in the past half month night. In addition to Li Zhi's sweet words and pleasing, it also had a lot to do with his appearance. If Li Zhi was a fat and ugly monster, she would probably rather die than marry.

It is said that men are lustful, but in fact, women also care about men’s facial features?

"Do you want to talk to your grandmother?" Chen Qingqing reminded him when he got closer.

Li Zhi smiled: "No need." He is not a child, and he must obtain the consent of his elders when he goes out.

It was getting late, and the couple set off now.

This is the first time Chen Qingqing went out at night after returning to Beijing.

When the carriage arrived at the main street, the restaurants on both sides of the street were very lively, and shouts came one after another into the carriage. Chen Qingqing wanted to pick up the curtains and looked at them, but was worried that Li Zhi would mock the girls in the Shen family for being uneducated, so she kept sitting upright.

Li Zhi looked at her for a while and smiled and picked up the curtains on his side.

There was a barbecue kebab next to the street. When the evening breeze blew, the tempting fragrance immediately floated in.

Chen Qingqing couldn't help but glance out.

"Have you eaten?" Li Zhi asked her in a low voice.

Chen Qingqing immediately withdrew her gaze and said disgusted: "I don't eat this kind of street snack whenever I'm taking in dust."

Li Zhi said, "Snacks have the beauty of snacks." After that, he asked the coachman to stop the car and ordered A Rong, who was outside, to buy ten strings.

Arong grinned and went to run errands, knowing that the master would definitely give him a few strings.

Li Zhi really only received two strings, and the rest was rewarded to Arong and the coachman.

The carriage continued to set off. Li Zhi put down the curtain, took a string of them himself, and sent them to Chen Qingqing.

The newly grilled lamb kebab is golden and slightly charred, with salt, chili and other ingredients sprinkled on it, which has a strong aroma.

Chen Qingqing, who had not eaten dinner, became active in her stomach and endured it so that she did not swallow her saliva.

"Take it." Li Zhi sent the meat skewers to her mouth.

Chen Qingqing turned her head and kept her previous disgust: "No."

Li Zhi teased her: "Just one bite, eat more if you taste delicious, if you don't like it..."

He stopped talking halfway through.

Chen Qingqing slanted his eyes and said, "What should I do if it's not delicious?"

Li Zhi looked at her rosy lips and said quietly: "If it's not delicious, I won't touch you tonight."

This bet is very tempting. Chen Qingqing bit his lip, and then took Li Zhi's hand to bite a small piece of meat skewers. The barbecue was a little hot, but the meat was delicate and delicious. After eating it in one bite, Chen Qingqing instinctively wanted to take a second bite.

"How?" Li Zhi asked with a smile.

Chen Qingqing was not willing to make him proud, of course he said it was unpalatable.

The little wife looked disgusted, but her eyes secretly glanced at the skewers revealed her greed. Her appearance made Li Zhi feel comfortable all over, which was much more interesting than her honest cooperation.

Since she didn't eat it, Li Zhi finished all the skewers in just a few bites, threw away the bamboo stick, and took out the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth gracefully.

Chen Qingqing sat stiffly, thinking that when Li Zhi left, she would definitely find an opportunity to have a secret meal.

After a while, Wanghu Tower arrived.

Li Zhi helped Chen Qingqing get out of the car. The couple had a tall and handsome man and a petite and bright woman, which attracted countless sights as soon as they appeared. An official who came to drink recognized Li Zhi and came over to salute in surprise. He was respectful to Li Zhi, but Li Zhi smiled gently, and looked elegantly like a civil servant.

Apart from his own father, Chen Qingqing had the first time to deal with other officials when he saw Li Zhi, and he had to say that he was really hypocritical.

Such an old fox actually became her husband.

"Let's go." After the greetings, Li Zhi led Chen Qingqing to the second floor elegant room.

Li Zhitang's elegant room was spacious and luxurious, and four beautiful maids stood respectfully on both sides, ready to wait for their orders at any time.

"Mr. Marquis, are you serving the food now?" The shopkeeper Xie from Wanghu Tower came to entertain the distinguished guests in person.

Li Zhi looked at Chen Qingqing inquiringly. Chen Qingqing nodded before he replied to the shopkeeper: "Come here."

Manager Xie winked at the young man.

Chen Qingqing sat next to Li Zhi, his heart full of curiosity.

Soon, the guy came back with empty hands. Just when Shen Qingqing was surprised, four guys appeared at the door. They saw that the four of them were very strong and burly. One of them was carrying a corner of a big black charcoal basin, and a golden sheep was actually being held on the burning charcoal fire!

Chen Qingqing:...

What a big sheep! It smells so good!

The noble lady's upbringing made her maintain a dignified sitting posture and expression. Chen Qingqing smiled and looked at the food in front of her, then looked at Li Zhi and asked softly: "Is this a bit greasy when you eat dinner?"

Li Zhi smiled and said, "It's okay to eat it once a while."

Chen Qingqing sat quietly.

The mutton was almost roasted. In order to make the guests enjoy their appetite, the chef of Wanghulou showed his hands in front of Li Zhi and Chen Qingqing, and enthusiastically brushed soy sauce and sesame oil around the charcoal basin. Finally, the sheepskin was cut into strips, the golden mutton was cut into thick slices, and then chopped large pieces of sheep bones into pots.

Chen Qingqing couldn't turn her eyes.

"Go down." The plates were all set, and Li Zhi waved his hands to Xie Zhanggui and others.

Manager Xie and others smiled and left.

"Have you eaten before?" Li Zhi asked Chen Qingqing.

Chen Qingqing shook her head.

Li Zhi grabbed a meat-carried sheep bone with her hands and gave it to her.

Chen Qingqing frowned, but Li Zhi said before she spoke: "This way you can taste it. There is no one else here. The seventh girl can do whatever she wants."

Chen Qingqing was still hesitant.

Li Zhi laughed at her: "In front of me, there is no need to pretend to behave."

Chen Qingqing:...

Chen Qingqing was very angry when he exposed his little thoughts, but if you think about it carefully, she really didn't need to follow the rules in front of Li Zhi.

"Eat it." Taking the flesh and bones from Li Zhi's hand, Chen Qingqing lowered her head and took a bite.
