The white jade hot spring, for Qu Qing Ju, was just a small swimming pool. She happily swam a few times in the hot spring, swimming back and forth from one side to the other. Then she leaned on the edge of the pool to look at He Heng who was sitting on the shore drinking tea: "It's such a pity that wang ye's wounds haven't healed. Otherwise, you could come down and soak with me." Finishing, she saw the other's gaze sweep towards her. Her feet pushed and she swam out again.
Seeing Qu Qing Ju treat the hot spring as a place to swim, He Heng smiled helplessly. Even though the other's actions were slightly infuriating, but her swimming postures were very beautiful. His gaze landed on the person in the pool. The other was wearing a red fish-patterned dress. In the water, it spread out like a mermaid. In the mist, only that smear of red was the brightest and most beautiful. Yet the other was purposefully making seductive postures.
When he saw Qu Qing Ju's head tilt back, revealing her white neck, He Heng took a large gulp of the half-warm tea to suppress the fire in his heart.
It wasn't advisable to soak in the hot spring for too long. Qu Qing Ju stepped on the jade steps beside the hot spring and came out of the pool. Taking down a wide cotton cloth to wipe the water on her body, she then took off the soaked fish-patterned dress in front of He Heng. She tied the wide robe over her body and walked in front of He Heng, bending down to take the teacup from his hand. She smiled as she said: "Wang ye, drinking too much tea will leave scars."
He Heng had finished admiring the picture of a beauty coming out of the bath and naturally didn't care about that cup of tea. He reached out with his right hand to pull the other into his embrace, allowing the teacup in Qu Qing Ju's hand to fall to the ground and make a crisp sound, "Since I can't drink tea, why don't I taste the tea beauty?"
Qu Qing Ju's finger lightly brushed across the bandaged wound on He Heng's left arm. She smiled ambiguously and regretfully: "But the taiyi said that wang ye needs to rest."
"The taiyi didn't say that Qing Ju needed to rest," He Heng moved as he hugged the other. A certain part of him that was unusually energetic happened to touch a sensitive place in Qu Qing Ju, "Why don't Qing Ju exercise more?"
Qu Qing Ju twisted. Seeing the other take a breath, she exhaled and licked his neck, "Wang ye wants qie to help?"
His right hand holding that willow-like waist, He Heng's voice trembled, "Is Qing Ju willing to help?"
Her hands wrapped around He Heng's neck, Qu Qing Ju's lips curling up. It was an indescribable charm. She said in a light voice: "Wang ye, guess?"
The two's gazes met. The white mist shrouded the room shrouded the two, lit the room.
More than an hour later, Qu Qing Ju and He Heng walked out hand in hand. Qu Qing Ju's hair was put into a simple bun using a red jade hairpin. She wore a wide sleeve gown that was like a red sunset. Walking together with wang ye dressed in a black brocade robe, they looked like a painting.
As He Ming was being led inside by the servants of the villa, he happened to see his second brother walking shoulder to shoulder with a woman dressed in red. He was slightly startled, but immediately reacted. He lowered his eyelids and quickly walked a few steps to the two. "Hello, second brother, second sao."
"Hello si shu." Qu Qing Ju slightly bowed her head and took a small step back.
"You finally came. Wei xiong had been waiting for you to come," He Heng released Qu Qing Ju's hand, smiling as he said, "Let someone take you to your residence first. If there's anything you're not satisfied with, just tell them."
"Thank you, er ge." He Ming raised a fist and then led the people he had brought from the fu and followed the villa servants to his residence. His residence was not far from the Jade Cloud Restaurant. It was called the Jade Music Pavilion, and what was even more amazing was that there was a hot spring next to the Jade Music Pavilion. It was obviously specially arranged for He Ming.
He Ming looked around. The furnishings in the room were all very exquisite. Even the color of the bed curtains was the color he often used. After sitting down in front of the carved pear wood table, a servant girl came in with tea and snacks and placed them in front of He Ming.
Just as he took a sip of tea, He Ming saw Ming He walk in with a smile. He first respectfully bowed before opening: "Your Highness Cheng Wang, our wang ye said that after you have rested well, he would invite you to Jade Cloud Restaurant for the evening meal. Also, if there's anything you're not used to, nucai will immediately have the servants change it."
"This place has been arranged very well, there's nothing to be uncomfortable about. Thank you, er ge," He Ming smiled and pushed the teacup to one side, "It's me who has disturbed. Please, gonggong, tell er ge that I will arrive on time."
"Your Highness Cheng Wang is too serious. You and our wang ye are blood brothers, there's no such thing as disturbing," Ming He bowed as he said, "Nucai will go report to wang ye now. Please, Your Highness, have a good rest." Finishing, he bowed again and helped Cheng Wang close the door before retreating.
After the door was closed, the room became much quieter. He Ming even found that the servants that passed by purposefully lightened their footsteps, clearly not wanting to disturb his rest.
"Er ge's people are very well-behaved," He Ming spread his arms and allowed his personal taijian Sun Hai to undress him. After the jade crown was taken off his head, he leaned back on the soft chair and said, "Coming here today means that I'm standing on the same side as er ge."
Sun Hai carefully put the jade crown back into the box. Hearing wang ye mention this, he said in a small voice: "Wang ye, you're just here to recover, why … …"
"Being in the middle of a situation, who can stay out of it?" He Ming smiled faintly, "It wouldn't be worse than now. Even more, er ge might be warm and courteous usually, but he definitely isn't a softhearted person. Lao da might be open and kind on the surface, but in reality, he is narrow-minded. Compared to remembering favors, he likes to remember grudges more. Dealing with this kind of person, unless everything is successful, you won't be able to gain any favor from him. Lao san's personality is arrogant and willful. In his heart, he only has power and not the people. Being close to this kind of person, even if he becomes the Emperor, he won't have any good days. "
When He Ming got to this point, his tone changed: "But er ge, his personality isn't like lao da who pretends to be honest, and he isn't like lao san who looks down on others. His mind is deep, but he isn't a fickle person. Following this kind of person, as long as he doesn't make a big mistake, there will be some affection." Originally, he had been hesitant, but when he saw er ge and er sao holding hands as they walked together, he made up his mind.
As an emperor, he naturally couldn't be softhearted, but he couldn't be emotionless. Er ge was just right like that.
Sun Hai didn't understand why wang ye would suddenly make such a decision, but as a personal taijian, other than being loyal, he had to be careful with his words and actions. So he only needed to obey wang ye's orders.
"Take the gifts that ben wang has brought to Yu Yun Lou. Say that ben wang, as a didi, has regards." He Ming stood and ordered, "Go, ben wang will rest for a while."
"Yes," Sun Hai looked at the bed that had been prepared and carefully retreated.
Qu Qing Ju looked at the pile of gifts that Cheng Wang had sent. There were some things that were suitable for women. It seemed that he had even prepared a gift for her. She turned to look at He Heng playing with the jade lion that had been biting the ball. For some reason, she thought of the lion that had taken the colored ball in the lion king contest. It seemed that it was similar to this jade carving.
"Does wang ye like this jade carving?" Qu Qing Ju asked with a smile, "This lion is very beautiful, majestic."
"En, the colored bead in its mouth is also carved pretty well," Putting the jade carving back into the box and closing the lid, He Heng commented, "It is very rare for si di to have such intentions."
Qu Qing Ju smiled and nodded: "Si shu is too courteous. Come, come, don't send so many gifts." Her gaze swept across the box that held the jade lion. She smiled faintly and thought that the busy Little Ming classmate wasn't as benevolent as he appeared.
As she said, how could the Imperial Family have an obedient child? Those that were obedient would have reincarnated into another family.
"You also like it?" He Heng noticed Qu Qing Ju's gaze as she looked at the box and said, "Since you like it, take it and play with it. It's just a small ornament. To be able to gain a beauty's favor is the greatest fortune."
"I'm a woman, what do I need these lions and tigers for?" Qu Qing Ju snorted, "Wang ye, in the future, why don't you find me some jade lotuses, or jade hibiscus ornaments. I think it's prettier when I look at it." Finishing, she gave a disdainful look at the box, "Only you rash men would like a fierce lion that likes to eat raw meat."
He Heng was silent. It clearly represented presence and courage, majestic lion. Why did it become a meaningless beast that only knew how to eat raw meat in the mouth of his wang fei?
He thought again, wasn't it just a beast, what other meaning did it have?
Even if there was, it was just a jade lion ornament.
At night, He Heng hosted a banquet for He Heng. Qu Qing Ju didn't go with him. Even though the relationship between the men and women of Da Long Dynasty was similar to the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties in the history of her previous life, but she was very perceptive and didn't join in.
Eating the food that was unique to her, Qu Qing Ju's appetite wasn't affected at all. She even drank an extra half bowl of pearl pheasant soup.
"Wang fei, wang ye said that he might drink with His Highness Cheng Wang for a while. If wang fei is tired, then rest early." When Ming He came downstairs, he saw wang fei had just finished eating and was washing her hands. He added, "Wang ye also said that tomorrow, he will go with you to climb Bai Yun Mountain."
"I know. Get the servants to prepare a hangover soup. If the banquet is over, serve the two wang ye some." Qu Qing Ju dried her hands and added: "Also, pass on my words. Tell wang ye to drink less. Drinking too much isn't good for wounds."
"Yes, nucai will remember."
After Ming He left, Qu Qing Ju raised an eyebrow. Since she had played the trick of injuring herself, then she had to play it from start to finish. The details determined success or failure. If she couldn't do it, then she shouldn't do it.
After He Heng heard Ming He's message, he smiled helplessly. He turned to He Ming: "Look, this is the trouble of having wang fei. You have to be reminded at every turn."
He Ming saw that er ge might be complaining, but the smile on his face was becoming brighter. He smiled and said: "Please, er ge, don't be angry. In didi's humble opinion, this is er sao caring for you. Who else would dare to spoil your mood like this? It can be seen that er sao cares about your body."
When he finished, the smile on He Heng's face became even brighter. He raised his cup to He Ming, declaring: "It seems that si di will be the one to care for his wife in the future. This is a good thing."
He Ming raised his cup and then drained the wine in one gulp.
He Heng said to Ming He: "Go back and tell wang fei that I know. Tell her to rest early."
"Yes," Ming He once again retreated and continued to pass on the message between wang ye and wang fei.
He Ming faintly felt that er ge was trying to show off. But based on his understanding of er ge's personality, he quickly rejected this thought and felt disdain for having such a thought.
