Chapter 9: Shangyuan Lantern Festival (Three)

Li Qing was a little confused. She didn't know whether she would go to see her sister Xu Ruying or the emperor. The journey from Xihuamen to Yangxin Hall was enough for her to think about this issue. After a long struggle in her mind, she finally decided to return to Yangxin Hall first, so she ordered people to rush to Yangxin Hall.

In the study in the south of Yangxin Palace, Zhu Yinglong was discussing the way of governing the country with Zhuoba. The two had some differences in "skills" and "dao".

Zhuoba focused on "art" and used "Tao" as an auxiliary, believing that an emperor needed to be proficient in the art of emperors before he could become a wise monarch of generations.

Zhu Yinglong's opinion is to the left, and "Skill" is inferior to "Tao". Although the emperor's art is important, "Tao" is fundamental. Otherwise, if only "Skill" but no "Tao" will become a sourceless water. Once the number of art is used up, the country will soon be destroyed.

Although the two of them were left-wing, they still felt sympathy and were very close to each other. Zhuoba's talent was indeed extraordinary. Unfortunately, Wu Heimiao could not treat each other honestly, otherwise Hong Chengchou would still have some difficulties to win him.

But the only thing that made Zhu Yinglong feel a little regretful was that Zhuoba still called him "Young Master Zhu". He also knew that people like Zhuoba were absolutely not afraid of death. Anyway, "Emperor" and "Young Master" were just one name. If a person like Zhuoba surrendered and returned to his heart all at once, this would make him a little worried.

"Your Majesty, Doctor Li has returned to the palace." As he was speaking, a yellow eunuch ran in and knelt down and reported.

"Oh, where is Doctor Li now?" Zhu Yinglong stood up suddenly. Although he had known that Li Qing had cured Zuo Liangyu, why did he not return to Beijing for a long time? The letter was vague. Zhu Yinglong was worried about it. He heard the news of Li Qing's return, and he was a little happy and excited.

Zhuoba's eyes were so sharp. Judging from the excitement in Zhu Yinglong's eyes, he knew that the relationship between Doctor Li and the young emperor was quite small. He knew it himself and said, "Young Master Zhu has something to do, I will take my leave first."

"Okay, Mr. Zhuo, please, I will send someone to invite you later." Zhu Yinglong said.

Zhuobashiri left.

Li Qing walked into the Nan Study Room with a nervous heart. This time she was taking the initiative to go to Xiangxi. I wonder if he would scold her. Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the study, she saw that face and looked at herself with a smile, as if the ice and snow melted, and she suddenly melted all the concerns in her heart. I don’t know where the courage came from or whether it was by any means. Li Qing felt that her steps had changed very quickly, and she rushed into Zhu Yinglong’s arms like a rush.

Li Qing's actions surprised Zhu Yinglong a lot. Seeing Li Qing pounce on him like a suckling swallow returning to his nest, he certainly would not miss the opportunity to throw himself into his arms. He immediately caught Li Qing's thin body and hugged the person in his arms. Xu Yingyuan, who was serving him, had already closed his eyes with tactfulness.

"Silly girl, this trip is so far, isn't it hard?" Zhu Yinglong said softly by simply holding his trembling body.

"Woo." Li Qing finally realized that happiness is so close to her, and it is almost within reach. It seems that a fickle man may not be a bad man, Li Qing thought to herself.

After a while, Li Qing blushed and stretched out her head from Zhu Yinglong's arms, as if she had applied a layer of rouge. Her expression was as cute as she was. Zhu Yinglong's heart moved and couldn't help but kiss her dry red lips.

The intoxicating numbness spread from the lips to the whole body, and a pair of beautiful eyes suddenly fog rose. Li Qing felt dizzy, and the last trace of strength on her body was sucked clean by the kiss, and her cheeks became even redder. She felt ashamed of herself, and she couldn't resist the kiss and became moved. Did she really fall in love with him? Then did he like herself too? In an instant, Li Qing was lost.

"Silly girl, I've been away for several months. Do you miss me?" Zhu Yinglong already knew that Li Qing was moved, but she had just returned and her body must be exhausted. It was harmful to her body at this time. Besides, it was broad daylight. When I was the king of Xin, I could do it. But now it is not possible. Even if I want to enjoy the joy of the boudoir between husband and wife, I have to wait until dark. He doesn't want any bad rumors flying all over the sky. At least, self-discipline is still necessary.

This question doesn't matter. Li Qing has never heard such flirtatious words, and her cheeks suddenly became hot and she didn't know how to answer. But Zhu Yinglong saw the answer in her eyes, and that must have been "thinking".

Zhu Yinglong didn't want Li Qing to be too embarrassed, so he let go of his hug and said tenderly with a smile: "Go and take a shower first, and then have a nap. I will take you to the Yibei Lantern City outside Dong'anmen to enjoy the lanterns. Tonight, the Lantern City is the most beautiful tonight."

"Well." Li Qing's heart suddenly became as sweet as honey. Careful men can always get the favor of women. Zhu Yinglong is undoubtedly such a man.

Watching Li Qing leave and smelling the fragrance left in the air, Zhu Yinglong smiled at the corner of his mouth. Although Li Qing's girl is not outstanding in appearance and has an unbearable experience to look back on, she is the most real woman who can feel the most beautiful, which is also a kind of pressure for men. There are flowers in the palace, and there are many beauties like fairies. Although she has them, she always has a sense of uncertainty. Although this feeling is getting weaker and weaker, Li Qing, who has been hurt, is increasingly aroused his desire for love and protection.

Li Qing pushed open the room that had been away for several months, and the room was spotlessly cleaned. It seemed that people came to clean every day. Her items and some medical books were arranged neatly. On the desk, there was a stack of rice paper under the jade lion paperweight. There were some ink marks on it. I carefully identified it and found that it was the emperor's handwriting. She remembered that when she left, there was no ink marks on the rice paper. After a closer look, she found that nearly half of the rice paper was missing. Could it be? Li Qing's cheeks suddenly became hot again. This was her own room. Except for herself and him, no one would live in. In other words, in the months when she was no longer there, he had slept here more than once, and he was still writing under the lamp. She seemed to see a warm picture with her husband writing under the lamp and his wife waiting silently.

Close his eyes, and the feeling of happiness and sweetness surged into his heart. When he opened his eyes, he found that she was the only one in the room. A silent feeling of loss suddenly filled his whole body, but he was thinking in his heart whether he would stay here tonight. The lingering feeling made Li Qing unable to express it in words.

"Oh no!" Li Qing suddenly remembered what Wu Sangui asked her, but when she saw Zhu Yinglong, she forgot everything. Li Qing was about to consider whether to go to Nanshu again, when this was the sound of a crisp knock on the door.
