The white snow is as light as smoke and as white as silver, swaying and falling from the sky.
It fell on the unseasoned ground and melted instantly... It started to snow in early winter.
I stood in the midst of the fluttering white, stretched out my hand but couldn't hold it at all. The fluttering white seemed like an illusion. Only the sound of the whistling wind and the disobedient clothes being pulled by the wind reminded me - this
It's true.
"Lin'er..." I called out softly, and when I turned around, I saw that familiar and long-lost face with warmth and anger, looking at me helplessly.
I smiled brightly, spun around and ran towards him. I came back alone that day, and it has been four days since today. Although he sent someone to bring a letter back to me, I still didn't feel relieved.
"Slow down, the ground is slippery, be careful if you fall." Xiao Yichen stretched out one hand to brush away the naughty hair from my face, and stabilized my body with the other.
"It's been four days and you've only had someone bring me a letter. I miss you..." I hugged him like a kitten, complaining a little. But he has been busy these days.
What? I'm really curious? Because we have been together for so long, he will never leave me easily.
"Go back to the house first, and I'll tell you the reason, okay?" Xiao Yichen bent down and wanted to hug me. I pouted and said, "It's not raining now, it's just snowing. I don't think it's okay for the two of us to walk in the snow.
Don’t you have a different artistic conception?”
"I always can't do anything to you, so let me get you a cloak!" Xiao Yichen scratched my nose lovingly and turned to leave.
I grabbed him and said, "Yichen, are you always so confused about style? How can you go for a walk when your dumplings look like rice dumplings?" I touched his face with my hand, "Yichen, why don't you shave?"
"I'm anxious to see you, but I haven't entered the palace to reply yet!"
I raised my eyebrows slightly, "You mean you haven't been in the Imperial City these four days?"
He nodded, put me in his arms, and sighed, "There may be another war at the border..."
I was startled and had a bad premonition, "You mean you might have to lead troops on an expedition?" I pulled out of his arms.
"Lin'er, I...I promise to come back soon. Father said that as long as I come back victorious this time, I will officiate our marriage." I watched the white feathers floating down between us, my vision a little blurry. "Why you?"
Go, isn’t Xiao Yifeng going?”
Xiao Yichen stretched out his hand to pull me, "Today is different from the past. My brother is now the crown prince, and my father's health is getting worse. He must stay in the imperial city."
"Then you take me with you..." I grabbed his clothes. I always felt that once he left this time, many things would change again.
He bowed his head and swallowed the rest of my words with some reluctance, "Leading troops to fight is very difficult. Just stay in the imperial city and wait to be my bride. I don't want you to suffer with me..."
"Then if you come back and I miss you..."
There was a sharp tingling sensation on his lips. He stared into my eyes and said word by word: "You are not allowed to say these words. Just wait until I come back."
"I mean, if..."
"No ifs, you are destined to be my bride, and you will be my bride for the rest of your life..." He hugged my waist hard, and his slightly trembling arms revealed his emotions. In fact, he was also afraid. Since he was afraid, why not
Take me with you?
The snow is falling harder and harder, and the roofs not far away are covered with silvery white.
Xiao Yichen and I didn't speak anymore. Each other's hair and clothes were stained with white.
I don't know how long it took before he let me go, looked at the snowflakes on my hair, and chuckled: "Lin'er, you look like a snowman."
But I couldn't laugh, so I walked towards the corridor through the snow that was not too thick. Now every string was very tight, as if it could break with just a little force, but at this moment the emperor asked Yichen to
Is the expedition a coincidence? Or does it have ulterior motives?
"Lin'er, don't be like this. I'll feel uneasy if you do this." Xiao Yichen hugged me from behind, a little nervous. Obviously, what I said just now scared him.
I turned around and looked at him with calm eyes, "Yichen, since you don't worry about leaving me here, how about you take me with you?" He would always compromise every time I acted coquettishly.
"Lin'er, no women are allowed in or out of the military camp..."
"Otherwise, is it military law?" I looked at Xiao Yichen's hesitating expression and said the following words for him. "Then how long will you be leaving?" I also knew that he couldn't give me an accurate time limit.
The war has begun, and no one knows when it will end. But I still hope that he will give me a waiting period.
He hesitated and looked at me, and I smiled bitterly, "You don't know, right? Maybe a month, maybe a year, maybe a few years, or even longer, right?"
"Lin'er, you are such a smart person, you know...but I promise you to come back as soon as possible after the war is over." Xiao Yichen's new beard pricked my tender skin with some pain.
I didn't dodge or stop, I just murmured: "We seem to be separated all the time, and every separation is not so peaceful... I wonder if we will be so lucky to meet again soon this time?"
He suddenly leaned over and kissed my lips, and an uneasiness came from his tongue, stimulating every cell in me. He gasped and hugged me, and said in my ear: "Lin'er, this is the last time, this is the last time.
Let’s leave as soon as we come back, okay?”
I tried my best to ignore those worries and smiled, "Okay, Yichen will never lie to me..."
"Lin'er, I'm going to the palace to renew the order. I guess I'll have to march out tomorrow..." Xiao Yichen caressed my face reluctantly.
I suddenly reached out and hugged him, "Yichen promised me to take good care of myself. Don't get hurt, don't lose weight, don't let me miss me..."
"I promise not to get hurt, I promise not to lose weight, and I promise not to miss you..." Xiao Yichen looked at me and stared at him, the corners of his lips raised, "This is very difficult... because Lin'er is in my heart."
I put on a big smile, although I was worried that he would be distracted by thinking about me, but if he really didn't miss me, I would definitely feel disappointed.
"Does the prince want to freshen up before entering the palace?" At this time, the housekeeper came over and asked. Seeing that there was a lot of white on his body, he thought he had been standing in the snow for a while. My face was slightly red.
He just saw it.
Xiao Yichen looked at the gray clothes on his body, then turned to look at me, and ordered: "Go fill the bath with water." The butler left in response.
I slapped him on the back and scolded him: "If you don't restrain yourself even when someone is around you, they will all laugh at me from now on."
Xiao Yichen grabbed my little fist and smiled mischievously, "Who would laugh at you? You are my princess. They have been waiting for you as their mistress for a long time..."
"You..." I stamped my feet, suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Didn't you say you were in a hurry? Do you still want to take a shower?" Look, if you lied to me, I will treat you right now... I thought about it for a long time and couldn't think of what to do.
What should he do? "Ah! Why are you hugging me..."
"I'll take you to take a bath..." He leaned towards me ambiguously, and all the hot breath he exhaled sprayed on my face, "It will take a long time to leave this time! Lin'er, don't you miss me?"
Hearing this, my face turned red - this pervert! I stretched out my hand to push him, but he hugged me tighter, laughed and walked towards the bathtub.
When they arrived at the pool, the water had been put away, and clean towels and clothes were ready nearby. Xiao Yichen said, "Everyone, get out!" Several servants who were standing nearby followed the butler out.
Xiao Yichen took off each other's clothes, slid into the pool, and slapped his face with the water with his hands. I slid to the other side of the pool and looked at his well-structured figure. Perhaps it was due to martial arts training. There was no fat on his body, and his skin was
There is a slight difference in color. It is estimated that some parts are often exposed to the sun, so they appear bronze, while the parts not exposed to the sun often appear very white.
Seeing him closing his eyes and meditating in front of me without hesitation, the temperature of my face suddenly rose. We are very close, but we are always a little embarrassed to meet openly in broad daylight. I put my body
Sliding into the water, leaving only my head, I followed his example and closed my eyes.
The warm pool water made people a little drowsy. Suddenly, there was a gentle touch on my lips. I was startled and quickly opened my eyes. The mist surrounded me, and a handsome face magnified in front of me. I gasped and tried to stand up.
But he hugged me and kissed my lips gently.
I put my hands on his shoulders a little unsteadily, and suddenly felt a little chill on my chest. I was about to squat down again, but Xiao Yichen hugged me, trapped me by the pool, and looked at me, "Lin
Son, promise me to wait until I come back."
There was a cold feeling on my back, and I exclaimed. This, this gesture was so ambiguous, my heart trembled, and I raised my eyes, "Yichen, I...I just promise you, please let me go first."
"Lin'er, wait for me..." At the moment when both of us were distracted, Xiao Yichen yelled out these words, and kissed my lips fiercely. I leaned softly on his shoulder, as strong as
After exhausting all his energy, he finally uttered one sentence, "I will definitely wait for you..." and then fell into a deep sleep.
Xiao Yichen picked her up, wiped off the water stains on her body, looked at her flushed pink face, took a peck, casually put on a robe, and carried her to the room.
Touching her wet hair, I used my inner strength to dry her - I can't bear to leave you here, especially when the emperor is still looking at Dandan like this, but if I don't go on an expedition, I won't be able to protect my mother's life.
.
He kissed her cherry lips with nostalgia and murmured in a whisper: "Wait until I come back." He tucked in the quilt, straightened his clothes, and walked out.
The housekeeper was already waiting outside the door. Xiao Yichen looked at the sky and then into the room, "The princess wakes up and takes good care of her. She will probably sleep for a few days..." The housekeeper looked at him in surprise, obviously unable to understand.
What does he mean? Sleep for a few days?
Xiao Yichen ignored the butler's doubts and walked straight out, "If the prince comes to the house, he will refuse to see you on the grounds that I am not here..." He stopped and turned to look at the housekeeper behind him, "Especially if you can't
Let him see the princess alone, do you understand?"
The housekeeper nodded solemnly, "Young man, remember. If Miss Yun... is the princess..."
"Also, remember, the name of the virtuous princess is Bai Xuelin. Anyone who dares to mention Yun Fengqing in the future will be dragged out and quartered." After saying this, Xiao Yichen left without looking back.
The butler looked at the figure blankly, a little troubled. He wanted to ask, how should he explain if the princess woke up and lost her temper?
