Chapter 123: [Red Apricot Branches] (continued)

In early spring, the ice and snow have not yet melted, and the wind is still rampant, as if stubbornly resisting, and refusing to leave.

However, the current sunlight swept away the previous decadent atmosphere, and finally cheered up, releasing its due energy, expelling the cold little by little, and accumulating strength for the germination of all things.

In the bamboo forest courtyard under the mountain behind the dust-free palace, the weeping willows by the lotus pond are wreaking against the cold wind, revealing a trace of new green in the song and welcome, showing the resistance and tenacity hidden under the weak appearance.

"Ahh With a long exclamation, the noise that lingered around the bedroom on the east side of the attic came to an abrupt end, and the whole courtyard quickly fell silent.

At this time, the morning dawn first appeared, the morning glow across the sky, the light of the rising sun pierced through the dense fog, sprinkled the warm light and heat in the courtyard of the mountaintop, silently warmed the flowers and trees in the courtyard, broke the frost that imprisoned the mountains and rivers, and restored the true color of the earth.

The noisy and noisy sound in the attic of the main courtyard of the Dustless Palace was actually the hazy throbbing feeling of the friars in the courtyard after hearing the sound. They were so distraught by this indescribable noise that they couldn't sit still, and they thought it was too loud and noisy.

However, those who really know the inside story will not feel this way, but will look at the closed door of the east bedroom, show a meaningful smile, and then reluctantly turn away so as not to disturb the good things of others. This kind of unspeakable sound is all too familiar to those in the know, because they themselves are the makers of this kind of sound, and they make it almost every other day.

Ever since Li Li stayed in the hilltop courtyard. He was the only man in the entire courtyard, and all the remaining soldiers were arranged in the bamboo forest courtyard under the back mountain, including Li Zhi, the commander of the guards, and Li Li's son Xiao Yue'er. In addition to Ren Hongchang, He Ying and their personal maids, who remained in the courtyard. The rest are the maids and disciples who follow Mengxin all year round.

In addition, there is one exception, this is Wu Amaran, who came to visit friends, she can freely enter and exit the two courtyards of the mountaintop courtyard and the bamboo forest courtyard, because she is Mengxin's best friend and Xiao Yue'er's godmother. After Xiao Yue'er and Xin'er were born, they have been living in the bamboo forest courtyard at the foot of the back mountain, so that they can play and play; The main courtyard on the top of the hill was more dangerous for the siblings. Someone must follow you at all times, and you can't move around at will, otherwise you will be in danger of falling off the cliff if you are not careful.

It is worth mentioning. The bamboo forest courtyard under the mountain behind the dust-free palace was specially built by Mengxin after she became pregnant, and its purpose was to create a comfortable and comfortable living environment for her children who were not disturbed by outsiders and were not in danger. It can be seen that Mengxin loves a pair of children very much. Until then, she had been living with her son and daughter. Watch them grow day by day. However, only recently she has lived in the courtyard on the top of the mountain, because the man she loves has come from thousands of miles, so she has been with Li Li for most of the last month or so.

During this time, Mengxin and Li Li were tired of being together all day long, and the use of "a long absence is better than a new marriage" is not enough to describe the tenderness and sweetness between them. The most accurate situation is: "The clouds are tricky, the flying stars spread hatred, and the silver man is dark." The golden wind and jade dew meet. It is victorious, and there are countless people in the world. Tenderness is like water, and the best period is like a dream. Endure the way back to Shu. If the two love for a long time, how can they be there, morning and twilight? ”

?????? A night of clouds and rain, at dawn is another morning exercise, three times a brace.

After the tenderness, the window was bright, and a ray of sunlight shone into the bedroom, fell on the bronze mirror of the dressing table, refracted on the couch, and shone on the cheeks of the delicate and panting Mengxin. But seeing that her eyes were closed, she seemed to be still immersed in the violent waves, her pink neck was flushed, her forehead was flushed, and there was a charming charm that had not faded between her eyebrows.

Li Li, who was lying beside her, was also wheezing like a cow, with strings of sweat overflowing from his forehead, his cheeks flushed, his eyebrows flying, and his expression was radiant.

Half an hour later, the couple slowly put on their clothes after they were warm again, and there was inevitably another intimacy, and then they dressed neatly and opened the door.

After freshening up, Rong'er, the last disciple of Mengxin's sect, brought the breakfast that had already been prepared, and after putting it on the table, she hurriedly turned around and left, not daring to look up at Li Li from beginning to end.

"Well, I don't think I provoked her! She's ?????? It's strange, I can't eat people, why is she so afraid of me? Seeing Rong'er, who had a devilish figure, walking away, Li Li was quite puzzled.

After hearing this, the radiant Mengxin pursed her lips and smiled: "The husband will not eat people, but once he is ferocious, he eats people and does not spit out bones, and he can't wait to swallow others, and there is no scum left." Hee-hee-hee! ”

When Li Li heard this, he smiled meaningfully: "That's because you are too charming, so I can't hold it back, and I can't extricate myself from it, so I will eat you in one bite." If it were other women, my husband and I might not have an appetite, and I wouldn't even look at it. ”

"Oh, is that true?" Meng Xinmei looked at Li Li in confusion, and while talking to him, she sandwiched the venison on the plate into his bowl.

"Of course, when did your husband tell a lie?" Li Li affirmed while feasting.

Meng Xin smiled, so she didn't say more, drank porridge in small sips, and served Li Li vegetables from time to time, as if she was afraid that Li Li would not be able to eat enough, but she didn't know that this table of dishes was enough for the two of them to eat for a day. While picking up vegetables, she watched Li Li pick her up and go down, but she ate very little, only a few vegetarian dishes, and the meat dishes did not move at all.

"?????? you are"

"Xin'er has been weaned, so ?????? In order not to be disliked by you in the future, people still need to do their best to restore their figure, and they can't eat more. Meng Xinqiao said shyly with a crimson face.

Li Li was stunned when he heard this, nodded subconsciously, and then shook his head helplessly, and sighed lightly: "Finally tell the truth!" I've asked you many times before, but you've been hesitant to tell the truth. Your figure is still the same as when I first met you, the same as when I first met you, why do you deliberately go on a diet? ”

After hearing this, Mengxin had a sweet smile on her face, and said softly: "Husband doesn't know. The concubine is not only proficient in the way of health preservation, but also has learned the art of rejuvenation, so just from the body type, it is natural that there is no difference from before. However, having a child has a great impact on a woman's body, not only to change the figure, but also to change the entire body constitution. It is because many women do not completely lose shape at first after giving birth, which is almost the same as when they were pregnant, but they are not restrained after giving birth, so that the whole body shape will change dramatically in just a few months. Therefore, the concubine body cannot be careless at the moment, and must be restrained. ”

Speaking of this, Meng Xin's tone paused, and she said in a low voice with a worried face: "What's more, the concubine is already much older than her husband, if she doesn't control it, she will be old in a few years." ”

Indeed, the age gap is an insurmountable gap, and even those who have the ability to renew their appearance still cannot completely change the deterioration of their physique and the aging of their physical functions. Mengxin's age is indeed much older than Li Li, although she has a strange skill and can stay young forever, but the gap between them is nearly ten years old, which still makes her feel quite pressured, and she does not dare to relax at all.

Seeing the sorrow on Mengxin's face, Li Li said very firmly: "Don't worry, even if you are old in the future and no longer as beautiful and moving as you are now, I will not dislike you, because I am also old." I can sue you now, and in thirty years I will be able to stay with you for a long time, and I will never be separated again. ”

Meng Xin was stunned when she heard this, and said in surprise: "Thirty years later?" At that time, the husband was only in his fifties, and it was the year of the destiny of the prime of life, so why did he retire? ”

Li Li smiled and said, "Thirty years is enough. By that time, Hao'er and Yue'er will be in their thirties and forties, can Lao Tzu still occupy a seat for the rest of his life until he dies? As long as they have the ability to take over the authority I have, I am willing to let the virtuous, the sooner the better, I hope to see them all make a difference, all of them are stronger than Lao Tzu. Only in this way will I have time to spend more time with you to make up for the great debt I have owed you over the years.

In this life, I owe you so much to your sisters, so when we are all old, we can 'live and die together', and if you can do so, it will not be in vain that you have followed me for so many years. These words were Li Li's feelings and truly heartfelt words.

In fact, Li Li has always longed for a stable and peaceful pastoral life, wanting to stay away from the strife of the world, away from conquest and fighting, so he can give up the qiē in his hand. But at the moment, this is only a beautiful vision, almost an extravagant hope, standing in his current position, he has no choice but to move forward bravely, there is no way back. Once he retreats, Cao Cao and Liu Biao alone will not let him go, and they will inevitably get rid of him as soon as possible, and after getting rid of him, his wives and concubines, children, and all his clansmen will be spared, and they will all be executed.

Taking 10,000 steps back, if Li Li wanted to retreat bravely, even if Cao Cao, Liu Biao and other princes could let him go, the thousands of civil servants and military generals under his command would not agree. As a last resort, at present, these civil and military generals who are loyal to him are very likely to turn against each other, add swords and axes, and force him to submit, so as to ensure their vested interests.

This is the reality of the situation Li Li is facing, like a boat sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, if you advance, there will still be a glimmer of life, and if you retreat, you will die without a place to be buried, and the disaster will be full of disasters. This is the law of survival in troubled times, once you embark on the road of hegemony, there is no way out, only one way to go to the dark.
