“Didn’t I just feed you…” Before You Yuji could finish his words, he realized that he didn’t want to eat candied fruit.
You Yuji tilted her head and took out a small bronze mirror the size of a baby's fist from the embroidered bag on her waist. She looked in the mirror and saw the white stain on her lips.
Suddenly the wind grew stronger and the boat began to sway.
Si Que immediately raised his hand and protected You Yuzhi's waist.
The boat quickly stabilized. You Yuji raised her chin slightly, moved closer to Si Que, and said softly, "Help my sister clean it up."
Make it clean.
Si Que's hand on You Yuji's waist gradually pressed forward, completely holding her slender waist in his arms. You Yuji leaned over and softly bumped into his chest. Through his clothes and chest, she gently bumped into his heart.
He slightly curled up You Yuji's face with his other hand, and gently stroked her soft lips with his thumb, increasing the force from light to heavy, until all the remaining stains on her lips were stained by his fingertips.
"Okay?" She raised the corners of her eyes slightly and smiled at him.
"Okay." Si Que looked into her eyes and slowly put the fingertips that had traced her lip line into her mouth. He could still taste a little sweetness.
The ship seemed to have hit something and shook more violently. Then, the light suddenly dimmed.
You Yuji looked over and saw that the boat had drifted under the bridge. The bridge blocked the light and the boat became dark. There were not many river lanterns floating on the water.
You Yuji was looking outside when Si Que suddenly pulled the rope and drew down the curtains at both ends of the cabin. In an instant, the cabin became completely dark.
You Yuji turned around and looked at Si Que. It was too dark and she couldn't see him for a moment.
"elder sister."
She soon heard his voice, his voice right next to her ear.
"Hmm?" You Yuji found his hand on her waist and rubbed it gently.
"My lips are also dirty, and I want my sister to clean them." He said in a low voice.
In the darkness, You Yuji vaguely felt that he lowered his head, and his long eyelashes seemed to slide lightly across her cheek.
Unfortunately, it was dark and Si Que could not see the smile in You Yuji's eyes.
You Yuji gently squeezed his hand again. At this moment, her heart softened. She also thought his euphemistic request for a kiss was a little cute.
She leaned over and pressed her soft lips against his, rubbing them gently and slowly. This time, she did not move away quickly. Her lips were still against his, and she asked softly, "Is it clean?"
She was speaking, her lips moving gently upward.
Si Que closed his eyes and was silent for a moment before he said, "No."
He could vaguely hear a gentle laugh, a warm laugh.
You Yuji rubbed his lips against hers again and asked, "How about this?"
Si Que endured it for a moment before speaking again: "Still no."
This time, before he had time to purse his lips, the soft tip of his tongue probed in. Si Que's hand on You Yuji's waist suddenly clenched. He quickly realized that he was worried about hurting her, and hastily withdrew his hand.
You Yuji invaded the gap between his lips, licked it slowly, and finally touched the tip of his tongue.
"How about this?"
Si Que could clearly hear a change in her voice. The smile she had when she asked him the previous two times seemed to be gone, and her voice became increasingly soft.
Si Que did not answer.
Answer with an unbridled kiss.
A cool breeze blew up ripples on the water, and the boat finally moved after hitting a crossbar under the bridge, and slowly drifted downstream again. After a long time, it finally floated out from under the bridge.
Light and shadow seeped in from the cracks in the wooden shed and cabin, with some rippling spots like water waves.
You Yuji opened her eyes and looked through the tiny hole in the ceiling at a twinkling star in the night sky. She pushed Si Que softly.
"We're almost there," she said, her voice soft and a little weak.
Si Que buried his face in her collarbone and refused to get up. He still closed his eyes and sniffed her unique fragrance. You Yuji pushed him, but he didn't move. He still hugged her. He asked, "Sister, is today the day circled in red?"
Are they the days circled in red
You Yuji still looked at the distant night through the hole in the roof. She recalled for a while and shook her head gently: "I don't remember it very well. Maybe it is, maybe it is not..."
Si Que chuckled and said, "That's it."
You Yuji neither admitted nor refuted.
It seemed that we were almost reaching the lower reaches of the Lianshui River. The shore became lively again and the noise in our ears gradually increased.
Si Que stood up, straightened You Yuji's slightly wrinkled collar, and then pulled up the curtains at both ends of the cabin.
"So many river lanterns!" There was a hint of surprise in You Yuji's voice.
Si Que's eyes moved from You Yuji's face to the water surface. All the river lanterns released from upstream were piled here, floating densely on the water surface, occasionally touching the boat.
You Yuji rolled up her sleeves and leaned forward, holding up a river lantern. There was only a little candle left in the lantern. You Yuji held the lantern in her hand, and the water on the lantern dripped down her palm.
She read out the crooked words on the river lanterns.
"A beautiful time for flowers and intoxication."
You Yuji burst out laughing.
Si Que didn't know why she was laughing, and was using the hem of her skirt to carefully wipe the water droplets from her hands.
"This is Zhenxu's handwriting. She thought she changed to her left hand to write, so I couldn't recognize it!" You Yuzhi put the river lantern on the bow of the boat, leaned over again, and picked up two river lanterns that were floating over.
The two river lanterns are inscribed with "Two Hearts Knowing Each Other" and "Mutual Affection" respectively.
Si Que also fished out a river lantern and read out the words on it: "Love is stronger than gold, fearless of rumors."
"Sister, you have such interesting people around you."
For the first time, Si Que felt that the servant who acted on his own was not so annoying. It was okay if he was not thrown into the poison pool.
Seeing You Yuji looking at him, he immediately put on a bright and innocent smile.
The dazzling stars between the sky and the water could not compete with his clear eyes. The light and shadows on the sparkling water were reflected on his face, adding a bit of radiant beauty.
You Yuji was in a trance for a moment.
She suddenly remembered... the last time when Nuwa molded Chen Anzhi, she spent more time on his face, so she forgot to mold his brain.
Now she felt that her last thought was completely wrong.
Chen Anzhi's face was not worthy of Nuwa's concern. It was just that Nuwa was lucky when she threw the mud, so his facial features were not too crooked.
The impeccable face in front of me is the stunning beauty carefully carved by the goddess Nuwa.
"Aque, you have such beautiful eyes." You Yuzhi said suddenly.
She raised her hand and gently stroked the outline of his eyes with her fingertips. Then she added: "Especially when he smiles at me."
Si Que knew. He knew You Yuji liked his obedient smiling mask.
"Here we are," he said.
Si Que stood up first, stepped onto the shore, and then reached out to You Yuji to help her off the boat. He had already noticed that although You Yuji could ride on horseback, she seemed not very used to riding a boat.
"You two stay!"
Just as You Yuji and Si Que were about to leave, a little girl of about seven or eight years old came running over with a bunch of flowers. The little girl looked up and said seriously, "I dreamed of Guanyin Bodhisattva last night. Guanyin Bodhisattva told me to wait here tonight and count the people who come ashore. If the seventy-seventh person who comes ashore is two people together, then they are a couple made in heaven for three lifetimes. I have to give this bouquet of flowers to them!"
The little girl finished her words quickly, as if picking beans with her mouth, then stuffed the bouquet of flowers in her hand to You Yuji and turned and ran away.
Si Que suppressed the sneer that was about to burst out and asked in a normal tone: "Is this also the work of the two maids beside my sister?"
You Yuji smiled and shook her head: "I don't know."
She leaned over and smelled the flowers; the fragrance was overwhelming.
Si Que glanced over and saw the smile between her eyebrows, and the silence in his heart disappeared. As the two walked forward, he took You Yuji's hand as if unintentionally.
You Yuji lowered her eyes to look at the two people's clasped hands, and once again smelled the fresh fragrance of the flowers in her arms. The pure fragrance of flowers and plants was incomparable to any perfume or spice.
Because it was night, even though there were many lights, unless you were close, you wouldn't notice other people's faces. Therefore, Si Que didn't wear a veil tonight.
He stopped at a fireworks stall and watched the vendor excitedly telling customers how beautiful his fireworks were.
"Hey, isn't this Princess Que?" A shrill female voice was full of sarcasm. "The princess who was once high and mighty is now a concubine of low status. She can actually come out to hang out. She is no longer the princess she once was. Do you still have money to buy fireworks?"
The woman's voice attracted curious looks from the people around her.
Si Que smiled.
In the past, I lived in seclusion and did not hear any gloating. Suddenly, someone ridiculed me in person, which was a very new feeling.
Interesting. Interesting. Interesting. He said it three times in his mind.
He turned his head to look at You Yuji and said obediently: "Sister, I want fireworks."
"Okay." You Yuji responded to him gently.
She asked the fireworks vendor, "Boss, can I help you set off the fireworks if I buy some?"
The vendor thought that this beautiful lady was too timid to set off the fireworks herself, so he nodded immediately: "Of course you can."
"I want all these fireworks. Boss, please find a safe place so we can set them off together later."
You Yuji turned her head and looked around.
Her action allowed many people standing behind or beside her to see her face clearly. With the moonlight as a backdrop, it seemed as if a fairy had descended into the world.
"It's You!" Someone in the crowd immediately recognized You Yuzhi.
Soon people discovered that the person standing next to You Yuzhi was Si Que.
"Today we meet the two best talents of Si State together! What a great luck!" someone sighed.
You Yuji had already seen her guards. She and Si Que drifted down the river, and several guards also took other boats, some of them got off the boat before her, and some got off later.
You Yuji ordered: "Buy all the fireworks for tonight and light them together later."
Someone in the crowd laughed and shouted, "So generous!"
Si Que lowered his eyes, with a smile in his eyes.
—My sister is generous because of him.
That night, fireworks lit up the Lianshui River. Even from afar, one could see the beauty of the night. I stood up and looked out from afar.
Many people gathered by the river, exclaiming in amazement as they watched the fireworks bloom.
At this time, You Yuji and Si Que walked away from the crowd holding hands. The cool winter breeze seemed to be heated by the fireworks tonight, blowing against their bodies, making their skirts entangled.
Continuing downstream, You Yuji was surprised to see some people dancing around a campfire.
"Do you want to go dancing?" Si Que asked.
You Yuji shook her head slowly: "Forget it. It's not very convenient."
She doesn't want to cause trouble.
"Wait for me here."
Si Que turned and left, and returned a short while later with a mask in his hand. He put the peach blossom mask on You Yuji himself, and took off her purple cloak that would be recognized by others: "Go. No one will recognize you."
You Yuji hesitated for a moment, then smiled beneath the mask. She ran over lightly and started an impromptu dance with a few foreign girls beside the bonfire.
Si Que stood in the shadows, looking at her from afar. In the world lit up by fireworks, Si Que could only see her, and everyone else no longer existed.
As soon as she walked over, she was warmly welcomed and favored. The dancers gradually surrounded her in the center.
She is always like this, easily gaining the favor of others and making people want to get close to her.
A young man from the State of Si greeted You Yuji enthusiastically.
Si Que suddenly walked over quickly and grabbed You Yuzhi's wrist.
You Yuji looked back at him, the fireworks in the night lighting up her charming and joyful eyes.
Si Que held her wrist with a little force and pulled her away.
