Chapter 33 Chapter 33 Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet (Part 2)

"What are you thinking, smiling so happily?" Yu Wujian's handsome face suddenly enlarged in front of my eyes. With my left hand trembling slightly, I picked up a piece of hibiscus roll pastry and put it in his bowl, and told him what I thought just now, but I concealed the matter of Huang Daopo. "Lan'er, it would be great if the kind of loom you mentioned can really be made. Not only Lan Chao, but even Fengguo and Yuecheng have almost no one weaving cotton cloth. It's quite troublesome to make a cloth robe on weekdays." of." I listened, but I laughed and said nothing. The benefits of the birth of the textile machine are far more than simply letting people wear cotton clothes.

"Come on, eat more. Wei Yushi's question of making things difficult for the prince just now led you to come up with such a method. It is really rare for women to have such foresight as you. I knew Lan'er that you were a treasure, but I didn't expect you to even I can come up with such a great plan for governing the country, I really admire my husband!" Yu Wuxian kept adding vegetables to my bowl, his face full of pride. I wanted to laugh a little: "Well, that 'for husband' sounds quite sour." Maybe he doesn't know what I mean by "sour", I thought to myself.

He stopped his chopsticks and stared at me, the amber color in his eyes was so deep that it was almost dark brown. He looked at me a little unnaturally, and stuffed something into my mouth indiscriminately. "Is it difficult for you to call me by my name? Since you got married, you have only called me by my name in front of the prince on the day of your wedding." The low voice brought back my memories.Similar questions, different speakers. "And you actually resist my identity as your husband." Yu Wujian buried her head and didn't look at me again, with some frustration in her voice.

My throat was a little tight, and it was hard to swallow a big mouthful of vegetables. I remember when I answered Jun Luobei, "It's very embarrassing, I don't think we are close enough to call each other by name directly", but Yu Wujian and Jun Luobei are two completely different people, and I feel completely different. Likewise, the answer should be somewhat different now. "How can it be difficult, I'm shy." I touched his shoulder with my elbow, and my tone was deliberately relaxed, "So I'm not used to it when you call yourself 'husband'."

"I don't think a woman who dared to bite my ear mercilessly would be so shy that she couldn't even say her husband's name." He continued to lower his head, his voice still muffled. I shrugged my shoulders and leaned closer to his ear to joke: "Wujian, it's been so long, you still hold grudges? Then I'll let you bite back now." A pair of shiny opals flashed past my eyes, and my right earlobe felt wet and hot. "You said it yourself." He quickly let go of his lips sucking my earlobe, and smiled at me triumphantly. I stared at him with wide eyes: "Did you really bite back?!"

"I didn't bite, I was..." He suddenly stopped talking, his eyes narrowed slightly, his lips parted slightly, and he stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth twice. The blood rushed to my head, his frivolous movements made me dizzy, and the sexyness he showed at that moment made my heart flutter, and I was dreaming. I still remember that night three years ago, it was the lips and tongue in front of me that made me dizzy, and the silky touch made me feel soft and numb even thinking about it now... "Young Master Yu, I saw that you and your wife have been inseparable and affectionate all night. Madam Yu is not only good at painting, but also good at matching husbands! I would like to offer you a toast. Congratulations on finding a beautiful wife."

Mo Siyou's elegant voice suddenly sounded in the hall, the arrogant tone made me rather displeased, and the words with ulterior motives sounded very harsh. I looked over indifferently, but I saw that she was holding a white jade cup and staring at Yu Wujian, she didn't look at me from the corner of her eyes, and a bright purple gem was dazzling on her green finger. "My concubine, the young master Yu in front of you is now the dignified Lord Tingwei, don't make a mistake in the future. Your cup should also be counted as my share." Jun Luobei's voice was as calm as ever, and he leaned lazily on the back of the chair, just hidden in the shadow cast by the beam, making it difficult to see the expression on his face.

"Prince Xie, Princess Concubine, I and my wife are in Yaner, love is normal, intimacy is inevitable, please forgive me if there is any impoliteness." After Yu Wujian finished speaking, he toasted and drank. "However, the princess did not mention one of my wife's strengths." He put down his glass and continued, "Lan'er is not only talented, but also very smart and far-sighted." Then he roughly recounted my textile industry plan just now. There was a lot of discussion in the hall for a while, and everyone's eyes turned to me in unison. "Yu Tingwei, you, the kind of loom that your wife mentioned that can increase the speed of weaving, can you really find capable people and strange people in the southernmost part of the world to make it?"

Jun Luobei was the first to express his opinion. Although Yu Wujian was the one who asked, his sharp eyes were focused on me undisguisedly. I could see the sparkle in his eyes only from the corner of my eyes. "Yes, Weichen trusts his wife very much." Yu Wujian's voice was steady and powerful, and he answered without the slightest hesitation, and he did not forget to throw me a smile when he was done. I gave him a calm look, but I was a little excited. I thought he had heard Mo Siyou's insinuating words about me just now, so I deliberately expressed my thoughts in front of civil and military officials, so as to tell Mo Siyou clearly. Siyou, I will not only be a "husband" but also "help the country".

"Father, my son agrees with Mrs. Tingwei's thoughts very much, I implore Father to send people south to find the gathering place of the Li people." The voice of the eldest prince Jun Luoxu. "The south is where Feng Kingdom is. Our two countries have finally stopped fighting for 50 years. It might not be right to send people from the imperial court to the south hastily. I don't want to cause unnecessary misunderstanding." There was a trace of hesitation in the old emperor's voice. "If the people sent by us from the Lan Dynasty are not in official positions, they should not arouse the suspicion of the Feng Kingdom." Jun Luobei quickly said.

"What's the prince's idea?" "My son thought that since Madam Tingwei proposed the idea of ​​improving the loom, it would be best to send Madam Tingwei to go south. If she goes south, it will be justified." "I think it's inappropriate." Yu Wujian immediately retorted Jun Luobei, "The wife of this minister is a weak woman and the wife of an important court official. It's too dangerous to send her south alone. I, Lan Chaoda, can send some weavers The masters are going south, they are not officials of the imperial court, and they will not embarrass them if they want to come to Fengguo." "The prince also knows that it is cruel to separate Lord Tingwei from the newlywed lady, but for the future of the Lan Dynasty, he has to be a villain. Since Mrs. Tingwei can come up with a plan to improve the loom, she must also be a weaver Moreover, he also knows that the Li people in the far south are good at weaving cloth, so they must have a good understanding of the Li people. This trip to the south of Mrs. Tingwei can avoid unnecessary suspicion from Fengguo; secondly, it can better communicate with the Li people Communication with people can also make the loom in Madam's mind faster." Jun Luobei stopped here, turned his head and glanced at me before continuing: "Your Excellency, Tingwei, you can rest assured that the two countries have lived in peace for decades, and their respective territories are considered to be peaceful and healthy. Mrs. Tingwei If you hire a team of experienced bodyguards and go south along the official road, you will definitely not encounter people blocking the road." I tugged on Layu Wujian's sleeve to stop another round of rebuttals he was about to utter, and escaping has never been my style. "Thank you, Prince, for your appreciation. I am willing to go south." I said firmly, looking at Jun Luobei indifferently.He stared back at me fixedly, his fair and transparent face moved out of the shadows, and his quiet eyes were pitch black, deep and bottomless. "Okay, Mrs. Ting Wei is a woman who will never give up on her eyebrows. Regardless of whether this trip is successful or not, I will reward you greatly. I hope you will go south as soon as possible within this month. I very much hope that the day you said will come soon." The emperor clapped his hands and smiled. Yan, issued an imperial decree to me. "Thank you, Your Majesty, my wife will definitely do her best." I bowed my head and saluted, but out of the corner of my eyes, I saw Yu Wujian's stern and serious face, and I felt very uneasy. I was just married for a few days and we were about to part. The idea is really "good", and my character is really strong. "I'm so happy tonight, let's go with me to the garden outside the palace to enjoy the moon." After the emperor finished speaking, he took the middle-aged beautiful woman beside him and walked out of the hall first, and everyone followed him and filed out.Yu Wujian held on to my left hand tightly, didn't say a word along the way, pursed his lips tightly and didn't look at me. I sighed slightly in my heart, and let him grab and drag me to sit in a gazebo. Tonight's moon is particularly round and bright, and the cold moonlight is like flowing water, quietly pouring into the garden, the long path, the low-hanging flower branches, the whirling leaves, the clustered flowers and the cornices in the pavilion, all Covered in a layer of white and hazy gauze, it looks ethereal, mysterious and beautiful. After Yu Wujian pulled me to sit down, he leaned against the guardrail of the pavilion. He didn't let go of his big palm holding my five fingers, and his half-opened and half-closed eyes made it difficult for me to see the emotions inside. I looked around, and most of the officials and family members rushed to the pavilion where the emperor and the princes were. In the pavilion where Yu Wujian and I were, there were a few old people who were talking with my father. The attention is not on my side.I took Layu Wujian's hand and motioned him to look at me. "Wujian, I just promised the prince to go south, you must be very angry with me." I stared at the pair of amber eyes and said in a low voice, "But my personality is like this, the more difficult things are, the more I don't want to bow my head." Seeing that his expression was a little loose, I continued: "I proposed the improvement of the loom. As the prince said, I am the most suitable candidate. I do know a thing or two about the old loom , I also have some ideas about weaving, if I find the Li people, maybe I can make the loom I imagined faster." "I understand what you said, but I really don't want to let you go so far, and this time it will take at least half a year or even longer to go back and forth. I will be driven crazy by the endless worry and waiting. "Yu Wujian grasped my hand tightly, his voice was a suppressed growl. My heart tightened, and I told myself that half a year is nothing. In my previous life, I went on a business trip to Korea and didn’t see my relatives and boyfriend for more than half a year. Isn’t it the same?When life is filled with responsibilities and busyness, the only free time is spent sleeping. "Wujian, we are already husband and wife, and we will have a lot of time to live in the future. If an improved loom can be produced during the six months of separation, it will be considered a great event to benefit the people of the Lan Dynasty." I paused for a while, took a breath and continued: "The way to cherish someone is not only protection but also proper letting go. I really hope to get your understanding and support..." "Lan'er, I've already figured it out." Yu Wujian interrupted me by raising his hand, "Actually, I should have understood that your character is no less strong than a man's, and the emperor said that you are so right that you don't give up to a man. But that's all." I smiled at him with satisfaction, and I had expected in my heart that the free and easy Ru would not be a pedantic person, as long as I told him what I thought in my heart, he would eventually agree with me.The way of husband and wife lies in the communication is really correct. "You just said that we are already husband and wife?" He suddenly changed the subject, and his voice became low, "I am very wronged..." I understood what he meant, glanced at him, and said with a serious expression: "Actually, my hands are much better, just be careful not to use too much force, but I can't object to someone wanting to be Liu Xiahui." "It seems that Liu Xiahui really should have used actions to warm the woman in his arms, instead of just wrapping her in a coat." He opened a big smile, showing his neat and white teeth, and smiled all over his face. treacherous. I was amused by his exaggerated expression, poked him on the shoulder and said, "Just understand." "I can't understand more, Lan'er, let's go home now!" He whispered at me with half of his mouth curled up, as if he was about to get up and leave. I couldn't help laughing, took his big hand and pouted outside the pavilion: "The emperor hasn't left yet." "Look at the group of girls around the prince and the happy smiles of the emperor, I'm afraid this banquet will not be over for a while..." He pouted, and leaned back against the guardrail again. I lay on the guardrail next to Yu Wujian's shoulder and looked carefully into the distance. Sure enough, I saw a large group of young women surrounded by Jun Luobei. Jun Luobei's expressionless noble face could be vaguely seen while his body was shaking.Mo Siyou, whose face was calm and emotionless, was listening to the conversation between the emperor and a beautiful middle-aged woman with her head down, her straight waist proclaimed her arrogance and dignity. Seeing the obvious scene in front of me, I can't help feeling a little sympathetic to Mo Siyou, the emperor's love is too crowded, I hope she won't be suffocated one day. Yu Wujian next to me gently stroked my shoulder and back, and the warm palm brought me peace of mind and relaxation.At this moment, I suddenly remembered many stories about emperors in history books. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty’s golden house Zangjiao was just a dream; They all died after ascending to the throne for the first time. None of the emperor's love is perfect, it is either fickle or ungrateful, and even the premise is always based on interests. The moment they sit on the dragon chair, they are doomed to have countless regrets in their lifelong relationship. Perhaps, the day Jun Luobei ascended the throne was the beginning of another difficult journey for him.Maybe, God has already started punishing him for me...
