The prince is very fierce

The sky is clear and cloudless, the beautiful mountains and rivers along the Baihe River are facing the sun, and the chirping of cicadas can be heard among the willow trees on the long embankment.

Nanyang City is in chaos, and most of the residents have moved to other places to seek refuge. The remaining people who have not left have closed their homes tightly and do not go out easily. As a result, there is no one on the Baihe River embankment where they used to stay in summer and enjoy the cool. Even the shops along the river are empty. Closed the door.

Xu Buling led Chai Feng Ma and walked in the small market by the river. He had no destination for leisurely strolling and just casually told various stories in his memory.

Although he has the memory of later generations, Xu Buling is not specialized in this field and does not remember much. After talking about "The White Snake", "A Chinese Ghost Story", "Butterfly Lovers" and other familiar ones, he really ran out of goods, so he could only start talking about "The Golden Lotus". Reduced edition.

Cui Xiaowan sat sideways on the big black horse, listening as enthusiastically as ever. It's just an abridged version of things, all the essentials are removed, and it certainly doesn't sound interesting.

Cui Xiaowan listened carefully for a moment, then jumped off the horse, took the oil paper umbrella from the side of the horse and opened it to protect Xu Buling from the sun, and said unsatisfied:

"Why do you always talk about 'putting down the curtain' for the next time? And you also seduce a good woman without even touching her. You just talk sweet words and go to the end, and make the words of the high-ranking official Ximen sound like 'being in love'." Just like a gentleman who only cares about propriety and righteousness, he is so fake..."

Xu Buring chuckled lightly: "It's not suitable for children. Some things are not elegant and it's not good to talk about them."

Cui Xiaowan walked slowly holding a small umbrella and said seriously: "I am older than you, and one year younger than the queen, and I am already married. Can the queen listen, but I can't? Are you afraid that I am a bad learner?"

Can this be the same? Xiang'er is my wife...

Xu Buling definitely couldn't tell interesting things about the room in front of Cui Xiaowan, so he could only laugh and continue talking dryly about Jin Ping Mei.

When Cui Xiaowan saw this, she could only accept it. After all, no matter how dry she was, some listening was better than none.

The two of them were walking by the river, walking from the east end of the White River embankment to the west end. Although the scenery was beautiful with red flowers and green willows, the only real interest was the people in front of them.

Watching the sun rise above the head and then set on the other side.

Xu Buling's mouth was dry as he spoke, but he still showed no sign of boredom and told the story seriously.

Cui Xiaowan kept staring at Xu Buling's profile, her eyes pure and penetrating, as if she could see the inside through the surface. Her mind turned secretly, and she didn't know what she remembered. She turned to look at the willow tree by the river and said inexplicably:

"Why isn't there a hornet's nest here?"

Xu Buling didn't understand why: "What are you doing looking for a hornet's nest?"

Cui Xiaowan thought for a while: "Last time we went to the grave together, we ran into a hornet's nest and were chased around. It was quite interesting."

"What? Do you want to stab me again?"

Cui Xiaowan really wanted to, but unfortunately she didn't. She gave a rare sigh, turned around and took down the small basket from the horse chasing the wind, and took out the tablecloth and snacks from it:

"I'm tired from walking, let's take a rest."

Xu Buling came out to play with him today, so he naturally didn't refuse. He sat down on the lawn, took a sip of water, and continued telling stories.

Cui Xiaowan sat on the other end of the tablecloth, took out a few snacks from the small basket, and placed them neatly on the cloth; sitting on the straw mat, maybe because her long skirt was inconvenient to sit on, she pulled up her thin skirt, revealing her small embroidered shoes and white Naked feet.

Under the summer sun, her mutton-fat jade-like ankles and legs were almost transparent. The embroidered shoes fit perfectly, drawing perfect lines from the toes to the ankles. They looked more delicious than delicious snacks.

Xu Buling blinked, drank some water and ate snacks without looking around.

It's just that it's summer and the weather is a bit hot. I just walked a lot and it got even hotter after sitting down.

Cui Xiaowan sat for a while and found that she didn't have a fan, so she pulled up her long skirt and sat with her legs crossed.

In the summer, they wear single skirts with thin pants half underneath; but Cui Xiaowan and Xiao Xiang'er have lived together for so long, and they followed Zhongli's example and changed into ultra-short safety pants that are cooler and more comfortable.

At this time, I pulled my skirt down to my knees. Sitting in front of me, I could see everything under the skirt...

Xu Buling was sitting directly opposite. To be honest, this angle was a bit inappropriate. He told the story casually, his eyes subconsciously glanced over... the white... the cloth was embroidered with peach petals... the little crescent moon on the bun...

! !

Although he immediately turned away at the first touch and quickly looked away unintentionally, the person sitting opposite him was not an idiot.

Cui Xiaowan ate the pastry while looking at Xu Buling intently and listening carefully. After noticing something was wrong with his expression and eyes, he lowered his head, put his legs together slightly, and asked in a crisp voice:

"What are you looking at?"

Xu Buling blinked, took the water bag and took a sip: "The weather is quite hot."

Seeing Xu Buling pretending to be stupid, Cui Xiaowan was silent for a moment: "That's all, I'll just assume that you saw it accidentally, and I don't blame you. Don't look around anymore."

"..."

Xu Bu Ling didn't see it accidentally. He sighed and looked elsewhere.

When Cui Xiaowan saw this, she pursed her lips and smiled. After thinking about it, she took off the mahogany plaque from her waist and began to carve '丅' on it.

Xu Buling turned around and accidentally glanced down again:

"Miss Cui, why did you carve this thing to remember?"

Cui Xiaowan didn't raise her head, she just turned around and spread her legs: "Remember interesting things." Then '丅' became '下'.

? ?

Xu Bu Ling gently spread his hands. He really couldn't understand Cui Xiaowan's mind, so he had to let her go.

The day is short.

Soon the sun appeared on the top of the mountain in the west, and it was time to return to the ship.

Cui Xiaowan sat on the horse again and was led back by Xu Buling. She conveniently broke off flower branches from the roadside, made a garland, put it on her head, and made another one for Xu Buling.

Xu Buling led the horse and walked slowly. When he saw this scene, he was a little funny: "Don't you like to grow flowers? Why do you do such a dangerous thing as destroying flowers?"

Cui Xiaowan didn't care and carefully weaved the garland:

"Didn't you say, 'If you have flowers, you must break them off; don't wait until there are no flowers and branches.'"

Xu Buling looked back and chuckled:

"Yeah, you have to cherish the time in front of you. In fact, it's quite comfortable to live like this. You have nothing to do when you go out every day, just walk around and see how the day goes. You just take things as they come, and don't have to think about anything..."

"I asked you to stay in the sea of ​​peach blossoms and live like this every day. Who asked you to run out?"

"I have a wife, and there is so much chaos outside. How can I stay in Peach Blossom Valley and tell stories every day when I am in my position and seeking political power? I guess I have to finish the war before I can live like this every day."

Cui Xiaowan nodded and handed the garland to Xu Buling: "Then finish it quickly. We get together more and stay apart less. My mother misses you every day. It makes me feel bad to see you. I always want you to come back and spend more time with my mother."

Xu Buling thought for a moment: "You want me to come back more often to tell you stories, right?"

Cui Xiaowan didn't blush at all: "When you come back to see the Queen, of course you can't avoid me; if you tell me a story, the Queen will naturally see you. It's not the same, you just finish the battle as soon as possible."

"Okay, finish the battle quickly..."

As the sun set, the two of them drove further and further away on the road...
