The aftermath of the Fishery Island incident was going to be troublesome. Coupled with the matter of Mute Granny and the Seven Noble Families, Long Fei Ye was actually very, very busy. She didn't know where he got the mood to take the initiative to accompany Han Yunxi on a spring outing.
Han Yunxi didn't know how many things Long Fei Ye had to deal with, but despite her happiness, she still felt that this spring outing was probably not as simple as it seemed.
But reality proved that Long Fei Ye really was just accompanying her for a walk.
The two of them sat in the large open carriage. Long Fei Ye took Han Yunxi's hand and pressed it on his knee. His movements were so natural.
Han Yunxi glanced at him and felt an indescribable feeling.
The two of them were always indifferent. There was nothing vigorous, and there were no vows of undying love. It was as if they had only been together for a short time and were very unfamiliar with each other.
However, there were always a few inadvertent small movements that gave Han Yunxi the illusion that she had been with him for most of her life.
Han Yunxi gently placed her other hand on Long Fei Ye's hand and leaned on his shoulder. "Your Highness …"
"Hm?" Long Fei Ye said indifferently.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to call you a little," Han Yunxi smiled.
She didn't know what Long Fei Ye's expression was, but in short, he fell silent.
Not long after, Han Yunxi called out again. "Your Highness …"
This time, Long Fei Ye didn't answer her.
Han Yunxi pouted and didn't say much. But after a while, she suddenly said, "Long Fei Ye!"
Long Fei Ye still didn't say anything, but Han Yunxi clearly felt his hand stiffen.
Han Yunxi couldn't help but laugh as she leaned on his shoulder.
At this moment, Long Fei Ye said Coldly, "You've got guts?"
Although his voice was cold, Han Yunxi was no longer afraid of him. In the past, she was often timid, but this time, she was no longer afraid of him because he was so fierce.
This woman must have forgotten the consequences of playing a prank on Long Fei Ye in the black market.
She was still laughing foolishly. How was this a prank? She was clearly teasing the Duke of Qin!
Long Fei Ye turns to look at him. Seeing his cold expression, Han Yunxi immediately holds back her laughter, but the smile still comes out from her eyes.
"In a good mood?" Long Fei Ye raised his eyebrows and asked.
Han Yunxi nodded honestly. This was their first time going on a trip. In modern terms, it could be considered a date.
"Do you want something better?" Long Fei Ye asked again.
Something better?
Han Yunxi was a little bewildered. Before she could figure it out, Long Feiye had already cupped the back of her head and leaned in to seal her lips with a kiss.
This kiss had a hint of punishment and was especially forceful. She really did have guts. He used so much force, but she didn't show any weakness and counterattacked.
Unknowingly, the two of them were lost in their passion. Even though his large hand was holding the back of her head, she still couldn't bear it and fell backwards.
She fell backwards, but he didn't help her. Instead, he leaned down and covered her full body with his large hand.
Han Yunxi was shocked and unconsciously pushed him away. "Long Fei Ye!"
Long Fei Ye was also awake. His deep eyes were bottomless and she didn't know what he was thinking. He looked at her for a while before pulling her up.
The two of them sat down and fell into silence.
The driver sitting in front of them straightened his body. Not to mention looking back, he didn't even dare to move.
He was at a loss. His Highness Duke of Qin had always been conservative and didn't like women. When did he develop such a bad habit? It looked like he had to prepare a curtain for this open carriage, just in case.
Leaving Jiangnan's Plum Blossom Courtyard, the carriage drove into the mountains. The entire journey was full of spring. Everywhere was lush green, the streams gurgling, and the green lawns on both sides were full of unknown wildflowers. Butterflies fluttered in the air, and a shepherd boy played his flute.
Han Yunxi didn't like tall buildings, pavilions, or famous mountains and rivers. What she loved the most was this kind of simple scenery and fresh air.
Unfortunately, she didn't have time to care. She lowered her head and sat upright. Her heart was still beating wildly.
Just now … it was so dangerous!
It turned out that such a cold and indifferent man also had a time when he turned into a wolf.
Even though it was very abnormal for her to still have the chastity mark after marriage, it was a kind of shame. However, that was only in the eyes of outsiders.
She was very clear that she and Long Fei Ye were only husband and wife in name. Ever since she cured him of the poison on their wedding night, they had always been in a business relationship. Now that they were together, it could be called fate or an accident.
Han Yunxi was in a daze, her thoughts running wild.
However, not long after, Long Fei Ye pulled her into his embrace. He acted as if nothing had happened and said indifferently to the coachman, "There's a tea garden up ahead. Let's rest there."
The coachman was an outsider, but he was even more nervous than Han Yunxi. He quickly replied, "Yes, yes!"
The tea garden that Long Fei Ye mentioned was called Drunken Tea House. It was a leisure tea garden similar to the Heavenly Fragrance Tea House.
Generally speaking, the first batch of spring tea would be released around the Qingming Festival. However, this Drunken Tea House had a type of tea called Drunken Tea. It was released around this time.
It was obvious that Long Fei Ye was an honored guest of this tea house. He had deliberately brought Han Yunxi here to taste tea.
In their exclusive courtyard, the two sat cross-legged across from each other. There was only a tea boy to serve them.
Han Yunxi liked to drink tea, but she wasn't a tea fanatic. However, after following Long Fei Ye for a long time, she was also influenced by him. Gradually, she had the habit of drinking tea every day.
"Drunken Tea, this is the first time I've heard of it."
Han Yunxi took the teacup and secretly activated the detoxification system to analyze the tea's composition. Who knew that it really did have alcohol composition, and it wasn't low.
This cup of tea was probably equivalent to a cup of wine.
They had just sat down, but Long Fei Ye had already drunk two cups. Han Yunxi couldn't help but have a little idea in her heart. She really wanted to know how this guy looked like when he was drunk.
Her alcohol tolerance wasn't good. She only took a sip and then started to order pastries.
He drank tea, she ate tea. It was already a rule. He said that in the future, she would order tea.
Without exception, she ordered a table of sweets.
"Your Highness, try it. It tastes good."
Han Yunxi definitely didn't know that Long Fei Ye basically didn't eat sweet things. Long Fei Ye only took a small sip and then put it down. "It's just so-so."
"Then try this." When it came to delicious food, it must be shared to have fun.
Helpless, Long Fei Ye only smelled it and didn't even touch it. "It's too greasy."
Han Yunxi gave up. She tasted it happily. She always felt that the tea and pastries were different from other places, but she couldn't tell why.
In the end, Long Fei Ye drank a pot of drunken tea. His mind was still sober, but Han Yunxi was drunk!
No one told her that the tea and pastries here were all added with drunken tea powder. Like tea, there was no alcohol taste, but the alcohol content was much higher than tea.
Looking at the drunk Han Yunxi lying on the table, Long Fei Ye's mouth curved into a helpless smile.
"Sir Long, these tea and pastries are easy to get drunk. Why didn't you remind her?" the servant couldn't help asking.
"If she likes it, let her be. She'll wake up after a nap," Long Fei Ye said mildly.
After helping Han Yunxi put on a cloak, he drank his tea as if he was drinking wine, forming a world of his own.
He really didn't have any ulterior motives, but simply wanted to take Han Yunxi out to relieve her boredom.
Whatever she liked, he was happy to do as she wished. As long as she was happy.
The servant didn't ask any more questions, but quietly waited on them. The garden was filled with spring colors, and the tea smoke rose in spirals. It was extremely cozy.
Unexpectedly, the sleeping Han Yunxi suddenly started to mumble in her sleep.
"Your Highness … Your Highness …"
Long Fei Ye quickly set down his teacup, as if wanting to hear what she was saying.
Without a choice, Han Yunxi only kept saying "Your Highness," her voice was as soft as water, enough to soften one's heart.
"Your Highness … Your Highness … Yunxi really likes you."
Long Fei Ye gave a start before he recovered his senses.
He quietly looked at Han Yunxi, his eyes filled with a never-before-seen tenderness.
He sat down by her side and stroked back a few strands of her hair. Her cheeks were pink, her drunken beauty beautiful, and her eyebrows filled with the air of a young girl.
As Long Feiye stared and stared, he suddenly felt heartache for some reason.
Han Yunxi, you meeting your lordship … was it right? Was it wrong?
After settling Han Yunxi into a guest room in the courtyard, Long Fei Ye sat alone by the door to keep watch.
He was only going out on a trip, but many things still came knocking on his door.
Soon enough, a guard came to report. "Your Highness, Northern Li's imperial clan has sent a letter to His Majesty, reprimanding General Baili for sending troops to besiege Jun Yi Xie for no reason. They're threatening His Majesty to either release him or prepare for war. His Majesty is urgently summoning General Baili back to the capital. "
Emperor Tianhui was smart enough to only summon General Baili instead of making a move against Long Fei Ye.
Long Fei Ye had long predicted this, but he didn't understand what part of Jun Yi Xie had caught the emperor's eye.
Even his collusion with Duanmu Yao hadn't shaken Jun Yi Xie's position in the emperor's heart at all.
"Your Highness, General Baili is waiting for your news!" the guard was still anxious.
Long Fei Ye only replied, "When a general is in a foreign land, he won't obey military orders!"
"Your Highness, this …"
Actually, many of Long Fei Ye's subordinates disapproved of Long Fei Ye's decision to send troops to besiege Fishery Island. After all, it affected the relationship between the two nations on a personal level.
Tianning Country's strength was waning and its court was unstable. If they started a war with Northern Li now, it'd be disadvantageous to either side.
"When did you learn to waste words?" Long Fei Ye said coldly.
"This subordinate obeys!" the guard didn't dare say more, but left immediately.
By the time Han Yunxi woke up, they'd already returned to Jiangnan's Plum Blossom Garden. She was speechless when she realized how she'd gotten drunk.
Long Fei Ye was a very bad man!
She'd hardly left the room when the little guard Xu Donglin told her about the Northern Dynasties Emperors warning Emperor Tianhui.
Although Han Yunxi felt that Emperor Tianhui was weak, she was very clear on the difference in power between Tianning and Northern Li.
She pushed open the door to the study and said, "Your Highness, Tianhui can accuse you of mutiny! Moreover, you'll be a criminal as soon as war breaks out. "
Long Fei Ye casually hid away the Annals of the Seven Noble Families and asked, "How about we make a bet?"
"Bet on what?" Han Yunxi didn't understand.
"Bet that Northern Li won't dare to start a war," Long Fei Ye said, before adding, "Never!"
Han Yunxi was alarmed. Long Fei Ye might have spoken casually, but she knew he wasn't the type to speak empty words.
Northern Li was the strongest country in Cloud Realm Continent. Where did Long Fei Ye get his confidence from? And forever at that?
Just what kind of trap was this guy planning?
