Xue Mu satiated last night, and rarely woke up until the bells and drums for the dawn of Chang'an City sounded, and Liu Qinghuan also rarely slept until the bells and drums for the dawn of Chang'an City failed to wake her up.
Xue Mu opened his eyes and saw the person in his arms, his heart softened in a mess. After working with Liu Qinghuan last night, he didn't help her get dressed, and just hugged her to sleep, so now the hand caressing her body is unimpeded.
Xue Mu was in a good mood, and a big hand slowly came to her chest. Although he touched her from inside to outside last night, the delicate and smooth touch of his hand still made him unable to put it down. Reminiscing about what happened last night, Xue Mu's heart was filled with overflowing happiness, as if he had stolen the sweetest molasses in his life.
His little dumpling has been eaten up by him bit by bit.
"Hmm..." Liu Qinghuan groaned because of Xue Mu's messy hands. The voice sounded soft and tender, and Xue Mu's men strengthened his strength, and lowered his head to kiss her cherry lips.
Liu Qinghuan was awakened by his kiss just like that, lightly fanned her long eyelashes, saw the person in front of her who was kissing her intently, then quietly closed her eyes, and wrapped her arms around his waist.
Xue Mu let go of the person in his arms until the bells and drums for the dawn of Chang'an City were sounded one by one. Liu Qinghuan panted heavily, looking at him with flushed cheeks.
Xue Mu reluctantly kissed his little wife, brushed the black hair from her ear and said in a low voice: "There is hunting today, if I don't leave, I will be late." Well, although it seems a bit late now.
Liu Qinghuan blinked, and looked at him with bright eyes: "Hunting? Can I go?"
Xue Mu had already sat up, and when she heard her question, she turned her head and looked at her: "Yes, yes, but can your body take it?"
Although he restrained himself and only did it once last night, it was Liu Qinghuan's first time and his body had not yet fully recovered, so he still couldn't bear him.
"I can bear it, I can bear it!" Hearing what he said, Liu Qinghuan got out of bed excitedly. It was only when I felt cool all over my body that I realized that I wasn't wearing anything.
Xue Mu's eyes were glued to her all of a sudden, and he couldn't move away. Liu Qinghuan subconsciously blocked her heart, and buried her head in shame.
Xue Mu slightly pursed his lips, fearing that she would catch a cold, so he wrapped her in a quilt and hugged her and the quilt into his arms: "Qingqing, don't mess around, you want to ride a horse."
Liu Qinghuan's brows twitched, but she still said firmly: "I can ride a horse, Ah Mu, don't leave me alone at home."
The last sentence was so wronged that Xue Mu's heart trembled.
As if sensing the looseness of the other party, Liu Qinghuan called out even more pitifully: "Amu..."
Xue Mu subconsciously hugged him even tighter, and he had clearly promised not to let her do anything willful, but her soft "Amu" broke all his principles.
After getting married last night, he seemed to be more indulgent towards Liu Qinghuan than before.
Knowing that she was bored during the period of recuperating in the mansion, she would not easily miss this opportunity, Xue Mu could only sigh in his heart, if he knew this would happen, he should have endured for another day.
"Okay, I'll take you there."
Xue Mu's compromising tone was very helpless, and Liu Qinghuan happily kissed him on the cheek: "Ah Mu is the best!"
Xue Mu smiled and helped her pick out a piece of clothing, and raised her hand to help her dress: "If you're going, pack it quickly, or it will be too late."
"Okay." Liu Qinghuan nodded while putting on her underwear, noticing that Xue Mu's eyes were fixed on the scar on her waist, she subconsciously covered the wound with her hand: "Don't look, it's so ugly."
The two of them were very nervous last night, so she didn't care about this scar, but now she was a little reluctant to be exposed in front of Xue Mu.
Xue Mu frowned slightly, covered her small hand with one hand, leaned over and kissed her side face half covered by her hair: "It's not ugly at all, my Qingqing is the most beautiful."
Liu Qinghuan's heart felt as if being blown by a warm breeze, she smiled softly, raised her arms and hugged Xue Mu: "Ah Mu, the white jade ointment is very useful, this scar will disappear soon."
"Yeah." Xue Mu kissed the corner of her mouth, and then helped her dress, "Hurry up, it's already dawn."
Under Xue Mu's urging, Liu Qinghuan quickly changed into her clothes, and when she went out, the two maids, Chi Tao and Qing Zhi, were only staring at her toes with ruddy faces, and breakfast was already on the table.
After Xue Mu and Liu Qinghuan had a hasty breakfast, they set off for Xishan. After they left, Liang Chen quickly sneaked into their room, before the maids had time to tidy up, the messy clothes and sheets on the floor made her blush unconsciously. With a quick movement, he pulled the small handkerchief from under the quilt to complete the mission, and Liangchen rushed out without looking back.
"Old madam, old madam!" Liang Chen trotted all the way into the door, and handed over the small handkerchief dyed with bright red like a treasure. Ning exhaled a long breath, and asked in a low voice, "How was last night?"
Liang Chen said: "Master Hou drove me away when he came back to the room last night, but Chitao Qingzhi and the two girls have been guarding outside, look at their expressions today... Madam, you must be able to hold a grandson soon!"
Ning's face beamed with joy: "Good day, accompany me to the temple today to fulfill my wish."
"Slaves, go down and prepare now!"
Liangchen happily went to prepare, but Liu Qinghuan outside the door looked at the only horse, but was not very happy: "Ah Mu, why is there only one horse?"
Xue Mu looked at her and said, "Do you still want to ride a horse alone? Are you not afraid of falling if you don't take two steps?"
"But..." It's so embarrassing!
"If you want to go, you can only take the same horse with me." After Xue Mu finished speaking, he hugged Liu Qinghuan onto the horse, and let her sit sideways on the horse. Liu Qinghuan was a little dissatisfied with this posture, as soon as she moved, Xue Mu hugged her in her arms: "Hold my waist tightly and sit down."
Liu Qinghuan obeyed obediently, it was not easy to come out, she shouldn't ask too much. Seeing that she was sitting still, Xue Mu ran along Shun Zhaoye's mane, and said, "Zhaoye, run slowly later."
Zhao Ye really ran away obediently, but Liu Qinghuan was so ashamed and indignant that she couldn't bear it, especially when they arrived at Xishan, everyone watched General Xue, who had come late, swaying around his wife, Liu Qinghuan began to regret that he didn't It's time to go out.
"My minister is late, please forgive me." Xue Mu took the initiative to admit his mistake to the emperor.
Of course, the emperor didn't have the time to blame him. In fact, he was even more curious about Liu Qinghuan who appeared in this posture: "Mrs. Xue is... not feeling well?"
The corners of Xue Mu's mouth twitched slightly, and he replied without changing his face: "It's really uncomfortable."
"Oh..." After the emperor said meaningfully, all the ministers around also suddenly realized.
Especially this group of people also included Liu Qinghuan's father, Liu Shilang.
"It's just nonsense! Qing Huan is like this and you still bring her to hunt?" Liu Shilang ignored the emperor who was still here, and directly scolded Xue Mu.
Xue Mu took the blow and admitted his mistake with a good attitude: "My father-in-law taught me a lesson, it's my son-in-law who didn't think carefully."
The beard on Liu Shilang's chin twitched, and he couldn't say anything more. The emperor glanced at Xue Mu who was carefully surrounding his wife, smiled and said, "It seems that General Xue can only catch a few rabbits today."
Regarding the emperor's face-to-face ridicule, General Xue accepted it calmly, and when the emperor ran away with everyone, Liu Qinghuan raised his head and glanced at Xue Mu: "Amu, I'm sorry."
Xue Mu smiled and pinched her face: "Anyway, it's not the first time you've been blamed."
Liu Qinghuan sat up straight with the corners of her lips curled up, only to see that there was still a group of people nearby who were from the Princess Mansion. Yongfu stood at the front on horseback, his face darker than the black boots on her feet. Liu Qinghuan subconsciously hugged Xue Mu a little tighter, and watched Yongfu approaching on horseback.
"I think Brother Huang just praised you. With such an oil bottle, General Xue might not even be able to beat a rabbit." After Yongfu finished speaking, he snorted coldly at Liu Qinghuan, and drove away. The guards also swarmed after him.
Liu Qinghuan twitched the corners of her lips, and said to Xue Mu solemnly: "Ah Mu, let's take a bunch of rabbits back and drive her to death!"
Xue Mu smiled, and said to her: "I said I would capture another little leopard for Qingqing."
"Really?"
"Well, I ordered someone to set up a trap yesterday." Xue Mu held her waist with one hand and held the rein tightly with the other, "Hold me tight, I will run faster now than before, and tell me if you feel unwell .”
"Okay!" Liu Qinghuan replied energetically.
Zhao Ye started to run at the same time as her voice fell, and the guards behind her also rode their horses to follow.
Although Zhao Ye ran a lot faster than before, in order to take care of the hostess' body, he still slowed down a lot. At least the Western Region cheetah Chasing Dian raised by Master Hou has been running far ahead of it. Zhao Ye refused to accept it, but did not dare to run around without the order of Lord Hou.
Liu Qinghuan was very excited: "Ah Mu, there is a deer in front!"
Of course Xue Mu also saw it, and Zhui Dian has been chasing it closely. He picked up the bow on his body and said to Liu Qinghuan: "Hold on to the reins, stay where you are and don't move." After Xue Mu finished speaking, he jumped up and flew up, and Zhao Ye slowed down almost at the same time as he left.
Liu Qinghuan sat sideways on the horse, but she was still sitting firmly. A group of guards behind her overtook her, but she just watched Xue Mu's lightness kung fu perform a few ups and downs, and she caught up with Zhui Dian. With the bow drawn, Xue Mu aimed at the running deer in the air, and let go of his right hand.
With a sound of "嗖", the arrow flew out and hit the deer accurately. The deer shot by the cold arrow fell down abruptly, Zhui Dian subdued the prey before the guards. Xue Mu shot. After firing an arrow, he turned over in the air again, and his clothes flapped in the wind. He turned sideways and shot two more arrows into the nearby grass. After two "swish", the sound of the prey falling to the ground came from the grass.
Liu Qinghuan was dazzled by the sight, and before she had time to applaud Xue Mu, she saw him flitting towards this side quickly and landed on the horse's back again. Zhao Ye neighed, and the guards picked up two hares from the grass on horseback.
Liu Qinghuan really applauded now: "Amu, you are amazing! There is no need to use cheetahs and lynxes at all!"
Xue Mu smiled, and wrapped him in his arms again: "There are wild boars here, and they are delicious roasted, aren't they?"
"want!"
Xue Mu drove Zhao Ye to help his wife hunt wild boars again.
After the hunting was over, everyone began to count the results. General Xue, who was the least favored by others, not only captured eight hares, but also deer, sheep, and wild boar. The most enviable thing was that he even captured a small local leopard.
The ministers sighed one after another, General Xue was indeed not something that mortals like him could surpass. Of course, the one with the most harvest must be the emperor. Emperor Yan visited everyone's achievements, and generously distributed some of his prey to the ministers, so General Xue got another civet cat.
Liu Qinghuan was overjoyed. Seeing Yongfu's not-so-abundant harvest, she thought about giving her a hare, but Yongfu rolled her eyes.
Seeing that Xue Mu had killed a wild boar, Li Mo went to his house to eat the roasted wild boar. Xue Mu readily agreed and invited Liu Shilang and his wife and daughter to come together.
Of course, Li Mo didn't know this until after he arrived at the Hou Mansion.
The Hou Mansion was extremely lively today, Xue Mu brought back too much wild game, and he couldn't finish it all at once, so most of them were sent to the servants to make meat jerky, so that Liu Qinghuan could eat them when he got hungry.
In the yard in front of the main hall, a large grill was set up, on which the wild boar that had been brought back was bubbling with oil.
Liu Shilang and Mrs. Liu came to the banquet on time, followed by Liu Qingli. Liu Qingli looked at Li Mo who was sitting beside her, and twitched her lips. Li Mo chuckled in his heart, he didn't dislike this little girl yet, but the little girl did dislike him first, let's see who can take care of her.
It was also rare for Ning to come out to have dinner with everyone. Ever since Old General Xue passed away, she has not been as happy as she is today for a long time.
After the wild boar was roasted until it was golden brown, servants placed the cut pieces of meat on plates and served them up. The size of the piece of meat was just enough to be eaten in one bite, and the smell of meat wafting from the plate made Liu Qinghuan unable to resist picking up a piece and sending it directly to his mouth.
"Be careful it's hot." I'm about to send it. The chopsticks in the entrance were blocked by someone, Xue Mu frowned and blew on the barbecue meat on the chopsticks for her.
This barbecue is too tempting. People, Liu Qinghuan couldn't care less about being hot, and after Xue Mu blew twice, he couldn't wait to stuff it into his mouth.
The skin is crispy and the meat is tender, slippery but not greasy, as if the gravy exploded in the mouth after one bite, Liu Qinghuan closed her eyes happily: "Amu, it's delicious~"
Xue Mu couldn't help laughing, and took another piece to her mouth: "There will be more delicious ones later."
"What?" Liu Qinghuan looked at him curiously. But Xue Mu acted maliciously: "I'll find out later."
Li Mo coughed dryly in disbelief: "General Xue, you two are not the only ones here."
Hearing what he said, Liu Qingli snorted coldly and said, "Did the love between husband and wife hurt your lonely heart?"
Mrs. Liu glared at her: "Qingli, why are you talking to the general?"
Li Mo immediately said very generously: "Madam, don't blame her, I understand how she feels about being stabbed."
Liu Qingli: "..."
She stared at Li Mo angrily, picked up a piece of wild boar as Li Mo's meat, bit it to pieces, and swallowed it. Li Mo picked up the wine jar at hand and raised his head to take a sip, then winked at her secretly.
Liu Qingli: "..."
lecher! Disciple!
Liu Qinghuan was so unhappy watching the play, she sneaked closer to Xue Mu, and said in a low voice, "I think the two of them are quite a match, really."
Xue Mu smiled and picked up another piece of wild meat, and handed it to her: "Do you want more?"
"Yes." Liu Qinghuan opened her mouth, and ate it in one gulp.
The singing and dancing in the courtyard was still going on, Li Mo took Pengpeng Nuoyan to drink with Liu Shilang, Mrs. Liu and Ning Shi didn't know what they were talking about, they both laughed from ear to ear. Nian Tang seemed to be attracted by the singing and dancing outside the hall, and kept staring outside, while Liu Qingli ate with her head buried, glancing at Li Mo who was opposite from time to time.
Liu Qinghuan couldn't help laughing, it's great to be with everyone like this. Xue Mu pinched her face and asked softly, "What are you thinking about?"
Liu Qinghuan turned her head to look at him, and said in a regretful tone, "It would be great if the elder sister could come too." Because Liu Qingya was pregnant, she didn't dare to run around.
Xue Mu said with a smile, "There will be opportunities in the future."
"En." Liu Qinghuan nodded, and saw several servants walking up carrying a large wooden tray, on which was a roasted whole lamb that was still steaming.
The smell of burnt meat attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, Liu Qinghuan blinked and looked at Xue Mu: "Is this the delicious one you said?"
Xue Mu nodded and said to her, "Look carefully."
Liu Qinghuan stared at the roasted whole lamb, and found that its stomach was stitched together. She blinked again and asked Xue Mu: "Is there something hidden in the sheep's stomach?"
Xue Mu smiled and praised: "Qingqing is really smart."
A cook with a big knife came up to the hall, cut open the sutured goat belly, and took out a roast goose from it.
"It's roast goose!" Liu Qinghuan looked at Xue Mu in surprise, and hid the roast goose in the belly of a lamb and roasted it together. It looked delicious!
Before she finished her surprise, the cook cut open the roast goose again, and there was meat mixed with spices and glutinous rice hidden inside.
The cook in the hall cut up the roast goose and put them on the plates, and the servants respectfully placed them on everyone's food tables.
The strong aroma of the roast goose permeated the tip of the nose instantly. Liu Qinghuan picked up a piece and put it in his mouth to taste it. The skin was roasted fragrant and crispy, the meat inside was tender and smooth, and the glutinous rice in the belly of the roast goose was even more delicious.
Liu Qinghuan was so happy that she was about to cry. A while ago, she could only drink medicine and eat porridge. Now that she can eat such delicious barbecue, life is really wonderful!
Seeing that she could be so moved after a meal, Xue Mu didn't think it was funny.
Liu Qinghuan was eating the roast goose in the bowl, and was still thinking about the roast whole lamb in the hall: "Is the lamb okay to eat?"
Xue Mu smiled and said, "If Qingqing wants to eat, of course she can."
He asked the cook to cut a piece of mutton, put it on a plate and brought it to Liu Qinghuan. Liu Qinghuan ate a mouthful of mutton and a mouthful of goose in a hurry, Xue Mu looked at her from the side, thinking that she would soon be able to raise Xiaotuanzi to be white and fat.
Because Liu Qinghuan's health was not fully recovered, Xue Mu didn't let her let go of eating, seeing that she was almost finished eating, he stopped letting her move her chopsticks. Liu Qinghuan looked at him with the corners of her mouth flattened, looking very aggrieved. Xue Mu approached her ear, coaxing in a low voice: "I asked Qing Zhi to prepare a small bowl of crispy cheese, do you want to eat it?"
Liu Qinghuan's eyes lit up: "Eat!"
Xue Mudao: "Then you can't eat too much now, you have to save your stomach."
Liu Qinghuan felt that what he said made sense. I ate too much meat tonight, and I might get tired if I ate it again. It's better to go back and eat crispy cheese.
The banquet was almost over, and everyone left one after another. Li Mo was drunk, Xue Mu sent Nuoyan to see him off. The unfinished meat was also shared among the servants. Xue Mu sent Ning Shi back first, and then returned to the main room.
Liu Qinghuan was sitting on her couch eating crispy cheese, Xue Mu walked over and sat down beside her, with a faint smile on his lips: "Qingqing is really delicious."
Liu Qinghuan blinked at him: "Don't think that I will give you the pastry if you say that."
Xue Mu looked at her hurt: "So I am not as good as a bowl of cheese in your heart."
Liu Qinghuan was amused by his expression: "If you can eat crispy cheese, you can't."
Xue Mu blinked, and a charming smile flashed in his black eyes: "If Qingqing wants to eat, I can sacrifice myself."
Liu Qinghuan thought seriously: "Let me think about it. Is it better to bake Ah Mu or steamed Ah Mu?"
Xue Mu smiled and said, "Think about it slowly, I'll wash myself first."
Liu Qinghuan looked at him appreciatively, what a thoughtful food.
After Xue Mu washed herself clean, Liu Qinghuan also rushed to wash herself. After washing, I climbed onto the bed again.
Xue Mu closed his eyes and ignored her, as if he was asleep. Liu Qinghuan looked at him for a while, then called out aggrievedly: "Amu."
Xue Mu still stood still, Liu Qinghuan blinked, and put her little hand into his clothes.
Xue Mu finally moved, held down her troublesome hand on his body, and said in a low voice: "Sleep well, don't make trouble."
Liu Qinghuan propped herself up slightly, and blew into his ear.
Xue Mu opened his eyes and frowned at her. Liu Qinghuan lay down beside him, covering her mouth with a smile. Xue Mu patted her forehead lightly: "Don't make trouble, your body can't take it."
"Oh, okay." Liu Qinghuan really stopped making trouble, and obediently lay down on the side and closed her eyes.
But Xue Mu was a little dissatisfied again, he took Liu Qinghuan's hand and brought it to his side: "Come to sleep, so I can hug you to sleep."
Liu Qinghuan leaned against him with the corners of her mouth curled up, and buried her head in his warm chest. Listening to the sound of the heartbeat coming from inside, I gradually became sleepy.
"Amu, have a good dream." Liu Qinghuan said in a vague voice. Xue Mu lowered his head and pressed a kiss on her forehead, and said softly, "Have a good dream."
