Free Web NovelThe noisy chirping of cicadas in midsummer, swaying with the night breeze, entered the tranquil Autumn Water Pavilion.
Even the cicadas were screaming from the heat, so it was normal for ice pops to melt.
Ying Bing's icy skin and jade bones were now soft; if the back of her head wasn't resting, her whole body would have melted into his embrace.
The hairpins and step-shakers she had just put on were disheveled, but she had no strength to hide anywhere.
The chirping of cicadas was no longer audible in her ears.
It was because the childish boy at first only smelled the ice, and as he kept smelling, she couldn't hear anything anymore.
Her ears felt warm; was this what it felt like to have one's hearing eaten away?
Fortunately, Xiao Li let go after a while.
"Wait, you can't Seal mosquitoes on my neck."
Ying Bing shrank her neck, the moonlight in her eyes almost shattered.
"But hasn't summer already arrived?"
Li Mo ground his teeth seriously, like a thoughtful little sealing expert, filled with concern for mosquitoes.
"Uncle and Aunt are here... they'll see."
Ying Bing said in a low voice.
As everyone knows, Xiao Li is a Genius.
Xiao Li, the Genius, pondered for a moment: "Then can we find an invisible place to Seal them?"
Mosquitoes wouldn't be able to bite in an invisible place either!
But the intelligent Ying Bing, at this moment, [N O V E L I G H T] didn't think of that.
She didn't know how to answer and could only twist her body: "Let go for a moment, be good."
"I'm listening, big sister approved, so I won't let go."
"You're poking me."
"Hmm? I understand..."
Li Mo was startled, took out the imperial decree from his sleeve, and then quickly embraced her again.
The blush on Ying Bing's ear tips had not yet faded.
She gave him a resentful look, truly not daring to have him nibble her ear again.
Since she was going to be held anyway, she simply sat on his lap... as soon as she sat down, her body stiffened, and she regretted it.
She had forgotten just now, but anyone with a bit of thought should have known.
Even if an imperial decree was pokey, it wouldn't be hot, right?
Ying Bing wanted to move away, but her long legs had no strength, so it turned into her squirming twice in his arms.
"..."
Xiao Li gasped in an icy breath, and his peripheral vision suddenly spotted a dark figure outside the door.
"Hmm?" Ying Bing also noticed someone passing by outside the door.
"Are there still bad guys?"
"It's Clan Leader Shang."
Ying Bing said, pursing her lips.
There were sunflower seed shells at the door.
Who knew how Shang Qinqing had cracked them so silently.
Looking at the sky, if he delayed any longer, it would indeed be almost dawn, and his parents would probably be curious why he hadn't come down yet.
Li Mo could only reluctantly get up.
Walking out the door, he saw the sneaky Shang Qinqing still not far away.
"Clan Leader Shang, you haven't left yet?"
Li Mo was helpless and curious.
Shang Qinqing's speed was a thousand li in an instant, practically a bird-shaped Somersault Cloud, so how could she not have had time to leave?
"Cough, I was just passing by, what do you mean I haven't left yet?"
Shang Qinqing casually spat out a sunflower seed shell.
"What were you passing by for?"
"Just to use the latrine."
"?"
Looking at the sunflower seed shells on the ground, Xiao Li didn't even want to expose her.
It seemed she hadn't not had time to leave, but rather hadn't cracked enough... Shaking his head, Li Mo returned to the first floor.
His parents were still there, so he would temporarily have to stay in the guest room, at least on the surface.
"I seem to have forgotten something..."
Closing the guest room door, Li Mo sat on the carved wooden bed and suddenly felt around on himself.
He remembered.
He hadn't taken the imperial decree for the 'auspicious date' that was still blank.
However, it was the same if it was with Ice Cube; as Gu Xueqin would say, what's yours and what's mine... "Hmm?" freewebnøvel.com
Li Mo was drinking tea when he suddenly froze.
He stared blankly downwards.
"I didn't go to the latrine just now, and I'm not Elder Xu... Wait."
Xiao Li's expression suddenly turned serious.
He was very curious, so he leaned in and wiggled his nose... In the room upstairs in the Autumn Water Pavilion.
Ying Bing changed into a new set of clothes, and the old ones she stuffed into the boy with a large head, directly skipping the washing step.
Then she sat on the head of the bed, hugging her fair legs, her face resting on her knees, her eyes hazy and lost in thought.
If anyone familiar with her in her previous life knew what had just happened, they would probably think this world had gone mad.
She herself felt like she was dreaming, otherwise, how could she feel like she was treading on clouds?
The Master of the Gui Palace, the Phoenix Heavenly Empress, once renowned for her heartless Dao, actually...
"He shouldn't have noticed..."
Ying Bing encouraged herself before daring to look up.
She lowered her gaze and saw the imperial decree placed on the table.
The auspicious date was still blank.
It must be said that Jingtai Emperor was very considerate; he didn't set the date for them but instead did them a favor, letting them decide for themselves.
It was unknown if his allowing them to have the final say was related to his youthful travels in the Jianghu and his youthful admiration?
She touched the step-shaker in her hair.
Her curled delicate hand picked up the brush, the tip trembling for a long time before she wrote a date with a year and month on it.
If Li Mo saw it, he would probably find the date very familiar... The next morning.
Shang Qinqing and Qin Yuzhi woke up early.
Well, you couldn't really say they woke up, as they hadn't slept at all last night.
After Shang Qinqing told Qin Yuzhi what she had seen, the latter couldn't sleep either.
One person and one bird, dizzy from cracking seeds, opened their eyes to find it was already dawn.
As soon as they came out, they saw two figures in the small courtyard.
Were there still masters?
Waking up even earlier than them, who hadn't slept?
"Little Bing'er, what are you doing standing here so early in the morning?"
Shang Qinqing asked.
"The day's plan begins in the morning."
Ying Bing said, drinking tea.
"Boss, why are you washing pants so early in the morning?"
Qin Yuzhi asked Li Mo.
"Oh, tea spilled on my crotch."
Li Mo coughed lightly, glanced at Ice Cube, and then buried his head, concentrating on scrubbing his pants, a certain area receiving special attention, bubbling and frothing.
The two of them were there early in the morning.
And neither was talking to the other.
The atmosphere was strange.
Qin Yuzhi's eyes widened: "Qinqing, the speculation you told me last night was actually..."
"Cough cough!"
Seeing the tea cup in Han Xianzi's delicate hand almost slip, Shang Qinqing coughed heavily.
It's fine to secretly crack candy!
How can you be so direct?
"I'll make breakfast."
Li Mo hung up his clothes and quickly darted into the kitchen.
Ice Cube was still in a daze, then heard Shang Qinqing change the subject and ask: "Little Bing'er, your hairpin and step-shaker are very beautiful.
Where did Xiao Mo buy them?"
Ying Bing lowered her gaze and gently said: "Family heirloom."
"Ah? Whose family?"
"Li Mo's family."
"!"
Shang Qinqing and Qin Yuzhi leaned back slightly.
They exchanged glances, then quickly covered each other's mouths, afraid of hearing the other let out a wild, strange laugh.
