It rained all night.
The cool breeze is gradually blowing in Suidu, the leaves and flowers are falling one after another, and the autumn mood is getting deeper and deeper.
It's almost noon, and Qing Lingyi hasn't gotten up yet.
Biwei pushed the door open and called her softly: "Madam?"
Qing Lingyi didn't respond.
Bi Wei just thought she was sleeping in. She opened the curtain with one hand and said in a natural tone: "The general said that he would be invited to be a guest today. Madam, you will also go..."
Her eyes fell on the bed and she spoke.
It was obvious that the bed had just been made last night, but it felt a little too messy, as if someone had been fighting on it all night.
But it wasn't particularly messy. The "war" people were very careful and tidied up the mattresses.
"Well, I like...I like you..."
Qing Lingyi was wrapped dimly in the brocade quilt and murmured softly. From Biwei's perspective, her lips were red and her cheeks were as bright as hibiscus flowers soaked with dew.
Bi Wei has seen this look before.
She blushed a little and quickly put down the curtain.
He was about to leave in a hurry, but his knees hit the edge of the bed.
"boom!"
There was a muffled sound, and Bi Wei gasped in pain.
Qing Lingyi woke up suddenly, opened her eyes and stood up. For the first time, she turned her head and looked outside the tent. Bi Wei was bending over and rubbing her knees.
"Bi Wei..."
Qing Lingyi bit her lower lip, stuck her head out of the curtain, and looked at her guiltily and uneasily, "What...are you doing here?"
The pain didn't last long, and she felt better. Biwei raised her face and said as naturally as possible: "The general asked me to come. He said he was going out today."
Qing Lingyi stared at her, "Then why are you blushing?"
"How can I..."
Qing Lingyi snorted softly, grabbed her wrist, pulled her into the tent, and sat on the bed.
For a moment, Bi Wei suspected that Madam wanted to kill her to silence her.
"We have known each other for so many years, and we have a life-long friendship..." Qing Lingyi was very sincere, "Biwei, don't lie to me."
Bi Wei laughed when she heard this and whispered: "Isn't it just General Cheng who came to see you?"
Qing Lingyi blushed instantly, "Is it...obvious?"
Biwei nodded honestly.
Qing Lingyi sighed and fell back on the bed.
"I won't tell anyone." Bi Wei saw that she was worried.
"I believe you, I'm just worried," Qing Lingyi frowned, "What will we do in the future? Mother doesn't like him, and I can't be sneaky."
Bi Wei tilted her head, "Madam, do you really like General Cheng that much?"
Qing Lingyi's face blushed even more, "Actually, sometimes I find him annoying."
Especially when her whole body was so hot that she felt like she was about to melt away, and her face was covered with tears, but he was still galloping around without stopping.
but……
But the pleasure surging throughout his body also reached its peak during that time.
So she likes it too.
Biwei didn't quite understand this contradiction at this time. Her understanding of what she likes or dislikes is at a very shallow level. For example, occasionally, Ji Fanzhi's face will appear in her mind.
"That's it, that's all."
Qing Lingyi rubbed her cheek and cheered up, "Let's talk about the future."
Last night, the two of them struggled until the third watch before resting. Qing Lingyi had completely lost her strength and was completely held by Cheng Yang.
She closed her eyes tiredly, Chengyang kissed her tears away carefully, his voice was extremely gentle, "Yeah, mother-in-law, I will find a way."
Let's see how he performs.
Cheng Yang is very careful.
There are quite a few hickeys and pinch marks, but they are positioned correctly and safely and can no longer be seen when wearing clothes.
Bi Wei patiently dressed up Qing Lingyi. The makeup concealed her strong beauty, making her look much more normal.
Qing Lingyi felt uneasy and went to see Qing Yan.
She was talking to Xu Lian when she heard the movement and turned her head.
His eyes stayed on Qing Lingyi's face for a moment.
Qing Lingyi's heart was beating wildly, for fear of being discovered.
"My um, um, it's getting more and more beautiful." Qing Yan spoke in a gentle tone.
Qing Lingyi quietly breathed a sigh of relief and raised a soft smile.
Qing Yan waved to her, "Let's go."
"Where are you going?"
"The new servant, Chen Bo, invited us to have lunch at his home," Qing said.
Qing Lingyi nodded slightly.
Hu Pingbo's family was full of complicated matters, which made him breathless. Old injuries and new illnesses made it difficult to even go to court.
Chen Bo was the emperor's latest promotion.
This man was born in a commoner family, but he wrote excellent articles and had outstanding political achievements. The emperor loved him very much.
After sitting down in the carriage, Qing Lingyi asked curiously: "Did Mr. Chen only invite us?"
Qingyan nodded, "Yes."
Qing Lingyi didn't understand why at first. Logically speaking, her mother was not involved in many party disputes, and she was just an acquaintance with Chen Bo.
Why did Chen Bo invite his mother to have lunch with him?
First arrived at Chen's house.
Chen Bo came to greet him in person. Qing Lingyi took a quick look and saw behind him a handsome young man in his early twenties, wearing a moon-white dark-patterned dress and a jade crown in his hair, with a very beautiful appearance.
In an instant, Qing Lingyi's heart sank by half.
"This is the dog Chen Liheng." Chen Bo took the initiative to speak.
"I heard he was the new Jinshi last year?" Qing Yan asked casually.
"Thanks to your majesty's kindness, I am appointed as a general and a minister." Chen Bo said.
“……”
As they were talking, Chen Liheng raised his eyes and looked at Qing Lingyi.
She was aware of it, looked back and saw Chen Liheng smiling warmly.
Qing Lingyi sighed in her heart and smiled politely at him while trying to save her face.
Everyone walked inside.
Chen Bo and Qing Yan were talking in front.
"...I heard that General Qing is good at using horses. It happened that I got one a few years ago."
"oh?"
Chen Liheng deliberately slowed down and walked with Qing Lingyi. He seemed to ask accidentally: "Miss Qing, do you know what Ma Shu is?"
Qing Lingyi thought he was talking nonsense.
Still a little disgusted, why don't you even know what Ma Shu is? If it were Cheng Yang, he would definitely understand.
She replied nonchalantly: "It's just a weapon."
Chen Liheng looked sideways, "How is it different from other weapons?"
Qing Lingyi was even more disgusted and said perfunctorily: "It's no different."
"Is it?"
"Um."
What else Chen Liheng wanted to say, Qing Lingyi turned to Biwei first, "I always feel that the hairpin seems a bit crooked."
Biwei took a step forward, "Really?"
The two of them whispered to each other, and it was difficult for Chen Liheng to interrupt.
"Today we have a light meal and a little wine. I hope General Qing and Miss Qing won't find it objectionable." Chen Bo said politely.
Qing Lingyi lowered his eyebrows and stood aside distractedly.
Do you really want to eat here? It always feels very uncomfortable.
At this moment, an attendant walked in quickly, looking a little anxious.
"What's the matter?" Chen Bo asked.
The attendant looked embarrassed, "... General Cheng Yang of the Right Guard is here."
Qing Lingyi's heart skipped a beat and she suddenly raised her head.
"He said that he came here specifically to pay a visit to your lord." The attendant said.
