In fact, I somewhat understand what Pei Yuanxiu means.

He hopes that during these seven days, I will completely belong to him, without the interruption of others, and that I will not think about other people anymore. During our newlywed period, I can completely let myself go and be him.

woman.

I was silent for a while, looking at the expectant look in his gentle and watery eyes, and finally nodded gently: "Yes."

A delighted smile immediately appeared on his face.

However, I still went to see Li'er while he was bathing and grooming.

I have not seen my daughter from yesterday morning to now. Although I know that she must be well cared for, I feel the same as Yao Lao worried about Pei Yuanxiu. As a parent, you will only be afraid of the slightest trace of your child.

He felt wronged and would never feel relieved. When he walked outside his room, he happened to see two girls knocking on the door softly: "Miss Li, miss, it's time to get up."

"I won't, you are not allowed to come in!"

Her willful voice came from the room, and the two girls wanted to say something, but when they saw me walking over, they hurriedly leaned over and saluted: "Madam."

I nodded and without saying anything else, I opened the door and walked in.

There were no lights in the room, and of course it was getting late now. The bright room seemed a little empty, except for the quilt on the bed that had a big bag, and Li'er wrapped herself in it from head to toe.

When she heard someone pushing the door open, she immediately opened the quilt and said loudly: "How brave you are, how dare you-"

The moment she saw me, she immediately stopped talking. The girl blinked her eyes and suddenly picked up the quilt and wrapped herself up.

I walked over and sat beside the bed with a smile, and said softly: "What's wrong, Li'er? Are you becoming a slacker if you don't get up so late?"

"..."

"Li'er? What's wrong? Mom, you don't care anymore."

"..."

"Don't you want to see your mother?"

"..." This time, she didn't remain silent for too long. She saw the little head wrapped in the quilt shaking slightly, and then the quilt was slowly pulled down by herself. Under the disheveled hair, my

My daughter looked at me with a pair of particularly bright eyes. But I unexpectedly discovered that her eyes were a little red, as if she hadn't slept.

I gently stretched out my hand to comb her hair and said softly: "What's wrong with Li'er? Did you not sleep well yesterday?"

She still didn't speak, just looked at me.

This time, I found that not only her eyes were red, but also her nose was slightly red. I hurriedly reached out and hugged her into my arms, and said softly: "What's the matter? Li'er? What are you feeling wronged about?"

, tell mother."

She held back her mouth. I thought she was going to cry, but she didn't cry. She just looked at me with her eyes wide open. After looking at me for a while, she stretched out her two little arms and hugged my neck, like a cat.

Nestle in my arms.

For a moment, all my anxiety and impatience were overcome by my daughter's intimacy. I just felt my heart soften. I put my arms around her and gently stroked her back.

"Mom..." She spoke after a long while. Perhaps because she was nestled in my arms, her voice was a little muffled: "Mom and dad got married yesterday, right?"

"Yeah."

I thought she was going to say something else, but the girl didn't say anything after asking this question. I lowered my head and looked at the slightly red corners of her eyes and trembling eyelashes. I felt the same as when she came to my room before the wedding.

She still felt so lonely and aggrieved. I think it was probably because she still felt so lonely in her heart.

She cannot fully accept my marriage to Pei Yuanxiu. Even if I assure her again and again that everything will be the same after marriage, Pei Yuanxiu and I will only love her more, but children at this age are always sensitive, and the slightest change will make them

Uneasy, let alone such a big deal.

Thinking of this, I hugged her tighter and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, Li'er. No matter who Mom marries, Li'er will always be Mom's most important treasure. Mom will always love you and protect you."

Li'er hugged my neck and was silent for a while before gently letting go. She stepped back and looked at me. After a while, I heard her say in a thick nasal voice: "Li'er, I also want to protect my mother."

I was stunned, and immediately, a warm current surged into my heart.

I hugged her tightly again and left a kiss on her apple-like face. At this time, a maid came outside the door and whispered: "Madam, the young master's carriage is already waiting at the door."<

/p>

I hesitated for a moment, but Li'er had already let go of me. Although she let go of me, her eyes clearly showed her reluctance to let go, so I comforted her as gently as I could: "Mom, go out with your father for a while, soon."

He will come back. Li'er should be good at home, eat well and sleep well, and don't be willful, okay?"

She nodded gently.

I looked at her again, touched her hair gently, then got up and walked out. The maids outside were waiting cautiously. I thought about it, stopped and asked the two maids taking care of Li'er.

: "Where did Miss Li go to play last night? Did she come back very late to sleep?"

"Replying to Madam, Miss Li only went to the riverside yesterday to watch the fireworks. After the fireworks, at less than three quarters past three o'clock, Miss Li came back and said she wanted to rest. After the slaves helped her undress and go to bed, Miss Li never called the slaves again.

We are here."

That's it...

I nodded and warned: "You must be more careful when taking care of Miss Li these days."

"Yes, madam, I know this."

After I finished explaining Li'er's affairs, I walked to the gate, and sure enough, the carriage was already waiting there.

It was just a carriage, not a group of carriages like those in the past, and there were almost no people waiting around. There was only a coachman standing there, saluting me respectfully. As soon as I walked over, the curtain was pulled from the inside.

Lifting it open, Pei Yuanxiu was sitting inside wearing a snow-white gown, looking at me with a smile.

I don’t know why, he barely slept last night, but now he seems to be full of energy, his eyes are extraordinarily bright, and he looks more handsome than usual. Maybe it’s true as he said, people feel refreshed during happy events,

As soon as he saw me standing outside the car, a gentle smile appeared on his face and he stretched out his hand: "Qingying, come here."

I looked at him, smiled, and stretched out my hand to him.

The following days were exactly as he wished.

He would take me driving a carriage around the streets all day long, going to every restaurant to eat signature dishes and drink cellared wine, while hearing about the Qin Emperor, Han Wu, Tang Zong and Song Zu as mentioned by the book, which made me linger;

He would also take me to the most crowded places in the market to watch the excitement. Just like during the Chinese New Year, I would eat simple and cheap snacks and watch the wonderful skills performed by street performers, such as fire-eating, lion play, and silver gun locks.

His throat and chest were shattered with big rocks, leaving him stunned.

After the Cold Food Festival, the weather has gradually warmed up, and the spring breeze has turned green on the south bank of the river. With it, the flowers are in full bloom. He will also take me to enjoy flowers, visit gardens, listen to opera excerpts, and taste Biluochun.

Not many people here know us. We often get looked at secretly when we go somewhere, and celebrities come to flatter us. Every time, he calmly holds my hand in front of everyone. In Jiangnan, he

I am the king, and I am the woman beside the king.

I have never had such a day.

In the past, it should be said that since the day I set foot on the road to the palace, my spirit was tense almost every day, and I was always on guard and vigilant. The only quiet days were..., but that seems to have become a past life.

Memory, today's life is unprecedentedly comfortable and leisurely.

Perhaps, for many people, this kind of life is really perfect.

In the blink of an eye, six days passed.

Early this morning, he pulled me into the carriage again. I didn't know what "surprise" he would bring me today, what exquisite scenery to see, what exquisite dishes to taste. When I asked him, he wouldn't tell me, just

He smiled mysteriously and said, "We'll know when the time comes." I didn't bother to ask anymore, so I just sat back in the car, feeling a little sleepy as the car swayed.

However, just when I was almost dozing off, the carriage stopped.

"Qingying."

When I opened my eyes, I saw that he had jumped off the carriage and was standing below, smiling at me: "Come."

He was still a little confused, so I obediently stretched out my hand to him, and was carried out of the carriage by him. As soon as I stood still, I felt a gust of moist wind blowing in my face, which immediately cheered me up. I turned around and looked

, I saw a green ocean around me, which seemed to be boundless and spread across the entire world, leaving only me and him.

Taking a closer look, it turned out to be the reeds by the river!

He and I were standing at an old ferry, which no one seemed to be using anymore. It was so quiet that only the wind blew through the reeds. There was a trestle in front of us, and a small awning boat was docked at the bridge.

Holding on to the bamboo pen and waiting.

I opened my eyes wide in surprise: "This is——"

He looked at me with a smile: "Would you like to go on a cruise with me?"

I was speechless for a moment. I just looked at the boundless reeds around me, blocking out the sky and the sun. The wind stirred up green waves and fluttered around me. I could hear the sound of the river gurgling in the distance, and the faint light in the air.

The fishy smell of water, everything is so familiar, yet as strange as a memory from another life.

After a while, I raised my head and looked at him, and nodded slightly.

He took me onto the pier with a smile, and was carefully helped out of the boat by the boatman. This was the first time I sat on such a small boat with him. Although it was small, it was fully equipped with everything inside, including a small table, a mattress, and

There were also exquisite refreshments on the table. When the boatman took out his pennies, the boat swayed away from the pier, but it did not sail towards the center of the river, but slowly sailed along the shallow water on the shore.

He and I sat opposite each other, watching the towering green mountains slowly moving outside, and sipping the fragrant tea, which felt very comfortable.

After a while, I smiled at him and said, "Are you going to just enjoy the scenery today?"
