"Ms. sir, do you think the cross-necked mandarin duck handkerchief I embroidered for you looks good? It took me a long time to make it."
Ye Xingtong happily walked into the study with the handkerchief that she had learned for nearly a month before she could barely read it. She picked it up and waved it in front of the man sitting at the desk.
She is not made to be a pinup. She learned this embroidery from her personal maid for a month. She embroidered it herself. She will definitely like it as a gift to her husband.
A handsome man put down the pen in his hand and walked slowly towards Ye Xingtong, with a perfect arc at the corner of his mouth.
With three parts of smile and three parts of admiration, two slender jade-like hands covered Ye Xingtong's cheek.
She said distressedly: "My wife, just rest at home. Why are you doing all this hard work to make your husband feel so distressed?"
Ye Xingtong's face turned red, and he muttered in a low voice: "Your birthday is coming soon, and I want to give you a surprise! Originally, I wanted to embroider a dress for you myself, but I'm too stupid to do it anyway. No, my hands were pricked in several places, and it took me more than a month to learn how to embroider handkerchiefs, and it was still like a mandarin duck, do you like it?"
At the end of Ye Xingtong's words, her voice was so low that even she couldn't hear it.
The man was none other than Jin Qicai, the consort of Ye Xingtong, the oldest princess in southern Xinjiang. He pulled Ye Xingtong into his arms with one quick step.
She reproached her in a soft and distressed voice: "You are not allowed to do this in the future. Your husband and I are in the position we are in now. I don't have any clothes. As long as my wife is good, I will be willing to do anything for my husband."
Hearing this, Ye Xingtong's eyes were filled with crystal moisture, and he whispered: "I just want to make something by myself to show that I value you. Okay, okay, if you don't let me do it, I will Not anymore.”
A cold and stern light flashed through Jin Qicai's eyes, too fast for anyone to capture, and he said warmly: "Madam, why don't you come and take a look at the portrait I drew for you, husband?"
Ye Xingtong nodded like a fool, and blinked happily: "Okay! I really want to know what I look like in the eyes of my husband. I must be a great beauty who can conquer the country."
Jin Qicai carefully let go of Ye Xingtong, picked up a beautiful portrait of a woman from the desk and gave it to Ye Xingtong.
He also kindly handed Ye Xingtong a cup of green tea and said softly: "I haven't had dinner yet. Madam, please drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat."
Where Ye Xingtong didn't see it, Jin Qicai secretly clenched his fist again, his eyes flashing on the tea in his hand.
Ye Xingtong took it without hesitation, drank it in one breath, and praised: "What kind of refreshing tea is this? I've never tasted it before. It tastes good, but... it just has a weird taste." , I can’t tell what it is.”
She did not marry the wrong person, her husband was such a beautiful and gentle man.
Jin Qicai smiled meaningfully and put his arms around Ye Xingtong's shoulders: "This is a new tea from the Kingdom of Li. It was given to us by our father. Of course you will find it strange if you have never tasted it before."
Ye Xingtong nodded without any doubt, and after drinking tea, he turned his attention to the portrait again. Unexpectedly, my husband painted her better and more beautiful than herself.
The skin is better than snow, and the face is beautiful.
Her lips are as red as cherry blossoms, as delicate as spring flowers, and as charming as the bright moon. A golden cross in the shape of a peony on her temples made her whole person radiant and sparkling.
Her hair is long and her clothes are flying.
What a beautiful fairy! My husband painted her so beautifully.
Jin Qicai was suddenly three steps away from Ye Xingtong, holding his arms and looking at her coldly.
Ye Xingtong suddenly felt something was wrong and raised his eyes to look at Jin Qicai doubtfully: "Ms. sir, I like this portrait very much. I don't mean to dislike you. Why are you suddenly standing so far away from me and looking at me with such strange eyes?" Me, are you kidding me?"
"Haha... It's better not to joke with Xingtong. You make Xingtong scared."
Jin Qicai raised his handsome eyebrows slightly and said in a very disdainful tone: "How do you think I, Jin Qicai, will treat a dying person? Do you think I will cater to you as shamelessly as before? I'm telling you, Ye Xingtong, don't even think about it, you are just dreaming."
He originally thought it would take a lot of effort, but he didn't expect this girl to be so simple-minded. She drank the tea without even the slightest suspicion. Counting the time, the time for the poisonous tea to take effect was almost here.
"You..." Ye Xingtong suddenly felt a bloody aura welling up in his heart.
His vision went dark, and he fell softly to the ground. Her expression was full of pain, and a few shocking tears of blood flowed from her eyes, as if she had never known Jin Qicai, the husband she had been with for three years.
Four years ago, he was still an inconspicuous and poor scholar.
Although he is not appreciated by the high officials and the current emperor, he is a real talent. He is proficient in all kinds of poetry, lyrics and songs, and is quite famous in the local area.
He was frustrated that no one appreciated him and he didn't know any capable officials, so he ended up as a hero with no place to play. He should have been admitted to the top pick, but he was replaced again and again.
Later, I became disheartened and decided to become a writing scholar.
And she... She went out and passed by Jin Qicai's hometown, and accidentally discovered Jin Qicai's amazing talent, and after getting along with him for a few days, she gradually fell in love with him. His talent and gentleness made her fall hopelessly in love with him.
She told her father about this, and he was furious. She didn't expect such a big thing to happen in the court. Those officials who bent the law for personal gain were really impatient.
However, because several important officials in the court were involved, the matter was settled. But her father promised her that he would clear Jin Qicai's name. In the end, Jin Qicai became the top pick with her help. The relationship between them is getting better and better.
She said that Golden Wizard wouldn't dare to pick the moon for her if she wanted stars. She asked him to go east, but he didn't dare to go west. She said one, but he didn't dare to say two... He followed her everywhere, let her, and let her indulge in him. Inextricable from gentleness and tolerance. Finally, after her repeated requests, the father finally agreed to her marriage to Jin Qicai because he couldn't bear her procrastination anymore.
Ye Xingtong tried hard to raise his head and looked at Jin Qicai, who was sarcastic and mocking. Bloody tears flowed down his cheeks from his eyes, and he slowly raised his slender white arm and pointed at Jin Qicai.
His voice was hoarse and painful, and he said: "Jin Qicai, you despicable villain, you only have the position and rights you have today with my help. In the past three years, how can I be sorry for you? I love you so much and do it for you." I am willing to do everything I can do, no matter whether I can do it or not, I will try my best to do it for you, but you, you actually want to kill me... "
Jin Qicai sneered a few times, approached Ye Xingtong, and kicked her hard several times before feeling relieved. His voice was cold and without any warmth: "You still have the nerve to say, do you know how people outside discuss me?" ? They all say that I relied on your connections to reach a high position, so where do you want me to put my face as a man?"
"I might as well tell you the truth, I don't like you at all. For a domineering and self-proclaimed woman like you, you let me accompany you all day long and play some childish games with you. Do you know that I can't tolerate it? How long have you been with me? I usually have to report in advance even when I go out, but when I finally go out, I secretly send someone to monitor me. I have had enough of you for a long time. I can kill you now and you won’t be able to forgive me."
"Do you think I, Jin Qi, am sincere to you? Haha, it's so funny, Ye Xingtong, Ye Xingtong, you are so naive! You are the emperor's favorite daughter, I just want to use your name to get it It’s just the emperor’s trust and respect for me, now that my goal has been achieved, you, my tool, can be completely dead.”
After saying that, he kicked Ye Xingtong hard several times. A strong look of disgust and ridicule flashed in his eyes. Ye Xingtong groaned, the wound in her heart had already hurt her to death.
The pain in his body seemed a bit insignificant at this time.
