Tao Ti didn't know how she fell asleep, as if she was tired from crying, Pei Yan coaxed her to sleep.
When she woke up the next day, Pei Yan was no longer by her side. Her eyes were as red and swollen as walnuts. She felt ugly even in the mirror.
Linglong took two boiled eggs and put them on her eyes. Seeing that she was so haggard, she didn't dare to ask what happened last night, so she could only ask in a low voice, "Is there anything the princess wants to eat today?"
Tao Ti closed her eyes and said with a sleepy expression, "Eat whatever you want, I don't have much appetite."
When Linglong heard this, she felt even more uncomfortable. For a princess who can eat and drink, it is a big deal that she has no appetite!
The movements of her hands were gentle, "The servant asked them to cook some easy food."
Tao Ti replied in a low voice, her voice still a little hoarse, "Your Highness... when did he leave?"
Linglong said, "His Highness got up at dawn. Today His Majesty is going to hunt in person, and His Highness will accompany him around. His Highness said that the Crown Princess should rest in the tent today. If anyone asks, he will say that you have caught the cold." , it is not advisable to go out."
Tao Ti thought to herself: Pei Yan probably said that because she knew that her eyes were swollen from crying and it was difficult to go out to meet people.
Linglong helped her rub her eyes for a while, and the swelling was much less than before.
After a light lunch, Xu Wenchan and Qinghe came to visit together, and brought a freshly roasted salt and pepper lamb leg.
The tempting aroma of the roasted leg of lamb wafted into the tent, making people salivate.
The way the chef cooks this roast leg of lamb is very simple. The ingredients are freshly weaned lambs. They cut a few crosses on the fresh and fat leg of lamb, marinate it with spices for a morning, and roast it on the firewood at noon. When roasting, turn it over constantly, sprinkle with cumin, chili, and brush it with a thin layer of honey to increase the umami taste.
The roasted leg of lamb is crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside, without any smell of mutton, only the unique deliciousness of the mutton, salty with a touch of spicy, spicy with a little sweet, you can't stop eating it.
Tao Ti started to eat directly, and as she ate, her originally dull mood suddenly became brighter.
There are so many delicious things in this world, why is she so sentimental? With this kung fu, wouldn't it be good to eat more
Xu Wenchan and Qinghe, who were sitting across from each other, exchanged glances when they saw her feasting.
Xu Wenchan: Didn't it mean that he was infected with the wind and cold? This appetite is quite good.
Qinghe: Uh, maybe, this is what my cousin often said, food can heal everything
Not long after, Tao Ti killed the whole leg of lamb. She wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and drank another cup of freshly brewed milk tea, feeling extremely satisfied.
Xu Wenchan clicked his tongue and widened his eyes, "Ah Ti, have you been hungry for a few days? You just ate up a whole leg of lamb like this?"
Qinghe was also surprised, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that a girl could eat a leg of lamb!
Tao Ti smiled embarrassedly, "The main reason is that the roast leg of lamb is so delicious that I ate it up before I knew it."
The three of them didn't talk too much about the leg of lamb. Xu Wenchan and Qinghe greeted Tao Ti one after another.
Knowing that she was fine, Xu Wenchan breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you are fine, I thought His Highness the Crown Prince was so nervous, I thought you were seriously ill."
Tao Ti was puzzled, "Your Highness is nervous?"
Xu Wenchan said, "Yes, he specially sent someone to invite me, saying that you may be in a bad mood when you are sick, and let me accompany you. This roast leg of lamb was also arranged by him. Speaking of which, His Highness still has a good taste for you. I understand it very well."
Qinghe also nodded and said, "I was also sent by the elder brother of the prince to call me here."
Tao Ti's eyes flickered, but she didn't say much.
The three of them played leaf cards together, accompanied by their little sisters, and the time passed quickly.
Xu Wenchan and Qing He didn't leave until dusk.
Tao Ti sent them outside the tent, looked up at the dark sky in the distance, and murmured, "It looks like it's going to rain."
After a moment of hesitation, she turned around and asked Linglong, "Has he not come back yet, Your Highness?"
Linglong lowered her eyes and said, "Your Majesty has harvested quite a lot today, and his face is full of joy. We specially hold a banquet in the main tent. His Highness should accompany His Majesty to have a meal tonight."
Tao Ti pretended to respond casually, but felt a little disappointed.
She was a little agitated last night, crying and crying endlessly. Now that she calms down and thinks about it, she can't help but feel a little bit self-blame, wondering if she's being a little hypocritical and unreasonable
When Pei Yan comes back in the evening, let's talk calmly.
The premise is that he will come over tonight.
…
The night was dark, accompanied by a muffled rumbling thunder, and a pouring rain was beating on the tent, which was very loud.
Tao Ti lay on the bed clutching the quilt, feeling sore in her heart.
Pei Yan didn't come, it was so late, he never came. With such a heavy rain outside, he probably wouldn't come here.
She suppressed her feelings of grievance and comforted herself: If she doesn't come, she won't come, she can still sleep alone.
Closing her eyes, she hugged the quilt and turned over, brushing off those chaotic and complicated emotions, and forced herself to fall asleep.
Outside thunder roared, and it was raining heavily.
In the middle of the night, the felt curtain was lifted, and a slender figure appeared in the dim light with the dampness of rain and mist.
The wind and rain were so strong that most of Pei Yan's robe was wet. He took off his coat and walked to the bed.
On the big soft bed, Tao Ti was curled up, sleeping in a small ball, showing half of her sleeping face, very peaceful.
Pei Yan put the faded robe on the chair beside him, lay down slowly on the bed, and hugged the soft body from behind. He felt the person in his arms tremble.
Was he frozen by the coldness on his body
Pei Yan's dark eyes sank slightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
He obviously planned to calm down and not come to her. But when he heard the sound of wind, rain and thunder, he still couldn't rest assured that he still came here in the rain.
Knowing that she is not afraid of thunder, but still deceiving herself, thinking that if she is afraid, if she needs my company - but she obviously slept soundly and peacefully.
Obviously he needs her more.
Pei Yan wrapped her firm arms around her, rubbed her chin against her hair, sniffed the fragrance of her hair lightly, and said with a smile, "Without me, you are more at ease, right?"
He was talking to himself, but he never thought that the person in his arms would suddenly turn around.
Two soft arms wrapped around his waist, his face was buried in his arms, his voice was soft and fierce, "No!"
Pei Yan froze, and said in a deep voice, "Did I wake you up?"
Tao Ti raised her head from his cool embrace, her dark eyes gleamed with water. She tugged at the hem of his shirt and whispered, "I didn't fall asleep... Well, I couldn't sleep. You ignored me all day, and I thought you would ignore me from now on."
These words are extremely wronged, and the ending sounds a little coquettish.
Pei Yan didn't know how to react for a while.
The sound insulation effect of the tent is extremely poor, and the sound of the rain is particularly loud, like a drum beating.
Not knowing where the courage came from, Tao Ti bit her lip, turned over suddenly, and sat on Pei Yan's lap.
Pei Yan was slightly stunned, and in addition to being surprised, a burst of heat surged up. He grabbed her troubled little hand and said hoarsely, "What are you doing?"
"You make me angry, I want to punish you." Tao Ti glared at him, and in the next second, as if guilty of being looked at by him, she looked away and muttered, "I must ruin you today."
Pei Yan couldn't help laughing, like a hunter seeing the little white rabbit delivered to the door by himself.
Tao Ti took the belt and tied his hands up, just like what he did to her last night, pressing his hands above his head.
Pei Yan was very cooperative and waited leisurely for her next step.
Tao Ti was embarrassed by his gaze, blushed fiercely and said, "You...you close your eyes!"
Pei Yan closed his eyes, his eyes were dark, and his other senses became more acute.
He heard the rubbing sound of the robe falling, and a coolness gradually appeared on his body. After the rustle, her hand stopped on his waist, and she did not move for a long time.
The silence at this time was undoubtedly the most grievous. He finally couldn't help it, and opened his eyes, which instantly darkened.
The scenes he had imagined countless times in his dreams were not comparable to the scenery in front of him.
The snow-white pajamas were faded aside, and only an apricot-yellow apron embroidered with begonia flowers made her delicate skin as white as snow, and her black hair drooped obediently. She blushed, as if she had encountered a problem, her willow eyebrows slightly frowning.
Pei Yan's throat rolled, it's a pity that his hands were tied, otherwise he would...
In a way, this is indeed punishment.
Tao Ti had the courage at first, but when she took off her trousers, she hesitated.
Theory and actual combat are really two concepts!
She bit her lip and said, "Well, why don't you forget it this time, it's too late, next time, next time... ah!"
Before she finished speaking, she was counterattacked by the man under her.
She didn't even have time to think about how he broke free from the shackles of the belt, and his kiss fell like a storm.
The form was reversed, and she became the fish to be slaughtered.
I felt a little cold at first, but soon warmed up again.
She was shaking so badly that she wanted to back off and tried to escape with her two thin white legs, but she was quickly caught back.
Pei Yan's warm breath sprayed on her cheeks, obviously enduring uncomfortably, but coaxing her extremely patiently, "It may hurt a little, bear with it."
Tao Ti closed her eyes, she thought about it in the book and in the film and television materials, this matter is very happy, it should not be particularly painful.
However, at that juncture, the hand still accidentally left two scratches on his generous back.
The rain outside the tent was getting heavier and heavier, fierce and rapid, as if it was about to crush the tent.
At first, Tao Ti bit her lip and suppressed it, but the man played tricks and tortured her, making her cry out.
Fortunately, there was the sound of thunder and rain covering her, which made her a little less embarrassed. She was meowing softly like a kitten, which touched people's souls.
