Chapter 38 The night tour
Li Xianger weakly leaned against Lin Qing and said, “Lord Qiansui, are you unhappy with Xianger serving you? Is it that Lord Qiansui likes little sister Zhao more and doesn’t like Xianger?”
Li Xianger spoke softly and tenderly and at the same time, there was warm affection in her eyes, making people unable to help themselves from wanting to treat her with tenderness and withdraw the decision that made her unhappy.
Lin Qing’s eyes flashed, but he didn’t push away the woman leaning on him even if the person was pressing on the injury on his waist.
“Why? Are you unwilling?” Lin Qing asked. Li Xianger’s eyes were watery and looked at him pitifully, “Lord Qiansui blamed me wrongly. Xianger only wants to know where Xianger did wrong to be able to serve Lord Qiansui better. As long as Lord Qiansui likes it, Xianger is willing to do anything.”
Hearing such touching words, Lin Qing thought indifferently, there isn’t the need to block her from trying the please him.
Therefore, when Zhao Zimu arrived, she saw such a scene. Surrounded by a group of maids and servants, Lin Qing was laying lazily on the bed. While he was comfortably massaged, he was gently fed grapes by beauty Li.
Zhao Zimu walked calm and collected to him and said respectfully in a low voice, “Lord Qiansui.”
Lin Qing lazily raised his eyelids and looked once at her, “You’ve arrived?”
Zhao Zimu lowered her body even more respectfully and to express her agreement.
“Since you are here, then serve me.” Lin Qing turned his gaze to the plate of purple grapes on the small table in front of him. The meaning was very obvious.
Lin Qing wore an azure brocade robe. Because his body was long and thin, the smooth fabric gave him a graceful, gentle and beautiful feeling.
Li Xianger was slowly peeling bright purple grape skins with her slender fingertips and fed the dark flesh into his mouth one by one. Then, she also carefully wiped off the juice from the corner of his mouth.
Humph. Zhao Zimu’s mood suddenly was not so good anymore. She walked slowly to his side and sat down. While she picked up a grape, she said slowly, “How does Lord Qiansui want me to feed you?”
“Could it be that you don’t understand?” The Lord Qiansui called Lin Qing asked her in return.
Zhao Zimu ignored him and let his eyes stay on her. It was said that ate till full and be warm were a lust. She felt that the person next to her was the same even if she couldn’t see it from his expression.
After she slowly peeled the grape flesh out and carefully picked out the grape seeds inside, she bit in in her own mouth. Under everyone shocked and shy eyes, she then fed it to Lord Qiansui. Afterwards, she licked his moist lips, looked at the man lying quietly on the bed and asked, “Delicious?”
“…” Lin Qing stared at her without saying a word. Suddenly, he thought, could it be that she truly went to learn some experience?
Lin Qing had never forgotten what Zhao Zimu said. It was just that it had been so long and he didn’t see her do something to him. She wouldn’t have forgotten about it, right?
Lord Qiansui thoughts went in the wrong direction. Only after Zhao Zimu asked once again did he nod affirmatively.
However, Zhao Zimu took out a thin white handkerchief, carefully wiped the juice off her hands and said slowly said, “But I think that you are already full.”
Her gaze swept over beauty Li who had already peeled half of the grapes. Then, she looked indifferently at Lin Qing. she suddenly moved to the position next to Lin Qing’s waist. That place was originally beauty Li’s, but she happened to be turned around to peel the grapes.
Lin Qing was speechless for a moment. Then, he heard her whisper in his ear, “Let them retreat.”
Lin Qing gestured with his hand seemingly unwilling. The group of beautiful maids and beauty Li retreated. Before leaving, beauty Li’s eyes were watery and it seemed as if in a moment of carelessness that water would drip down.
“Is beauty Li very beautiful?” Zhao Zimu asked unclearly.
“Of course, each beauty at this Qiansui’s residence is a national grace and divine fragrance,” Lin Qing affirmed without hesitation.
National grace, divine fragrance: outstanding beauty“Hmm, I also think so too,” Zhao Zimu agreed.
“…” Lin Qing was speechless. The eyes staring at her seemed to want to pierce a hole through her. Why doesn’t she seem jealous? Lin Qing silently pondered.
Zhao Zimu put her hand into his loose clothes and slid it down his waist. Lin Qing quivered. Zhao Zimu’s voice had some chill in it, “In order to see my reaction, do you plan to let here be hurt for ten days to half a month more?”
Lin Qing said angrily, “Didn’t you still didn’t have any reaction?! What use does it have to mention it now?!”
Zhao Zimu inhaled deeply and then exhaled. She said helplessly, “Is my reaction still not big enough?”
Lin Qing was dumbstruck. When? But it seemed to be?
“Does it still hurt?” Zhao Zimu touched his injury.
“Humph, what can this small injury be regarded as?” Lin Qing said indifferently.
“Let’s go out tonight. I and you,” Zhao Zimu said while she looked at him.
Lin Qing swept once over her. This person got the mood. Didn’t she even not bother to step out of the courtyard before? However, Lin Qing nodded since she wanted to go.
In the evening, the two went out together. Aside from Xiao Lianzi who followed the two closely, there were naturally many guards in disguise.
Walking on the streets of the imperial capital and watching the people come and go on both sides of the street, Lin Qing had a strange feeling. He couldn’t remember how long it had been since he last walked on the streets of the downtown like this. The carriages, horses, peddlers and carriers made every corner of the street feel lively, making a touch of warmth appear in his heart that had gone cold a long time ago.
He suddenly felt a bit at loss. This kind of feeling didn’t suit him. People like him were only worthy of staying in the dark corner of the deep palace, slowly decay and die with the curse and scolding of ten thousands of people.
The palm of his hand was suddenly held by someone. He suddenly realized that she was at his side, holding his hand and looking at him with gentle eyes. He suddenly felt sad, very sad!
His lips tightened into a thin line and he stared at the person in front of him. He squeezed the hand even harder and kept crying in his heart, why didn’t you appear sooner? Why didn’t you appear sooner at my side?!
Hate emerged in his heart. Hate the human existence for its impermanence. Hate the hypocrisy of the world. hate the cold of the deep palace. Hate the scramble for power and profit and hated his ruined body the most!
When the mist in his eyes was about to diffuse, someone suddenly lowered his head, pressed his head against her neck and let the dampness in his eyes disappear without being seen.
Zhao Zimu said, “If you continue to cry, I will…forget it…” Cry, no one can see it anyway.
After hearing Zhao Zimu’s shoddy words, Lin Qing didn’t want to cry anymore. He wanted to laugh now. Besides, if he was seen like this by those old bastards of the court, his brilliance of this lifetime…his expression immediately darkened.
After leaving Zhao Zimu’s neck, Lin Qing returned to his normal self as if nothing had happened before. However, he asked a bit unreconciled, “You didn’t see anything just now, right?” There was a threat in his eyes. It had the meaning of, if you dare to say you have seen something, I will do something bad to you.
Zhao Zimu shook her head obediently. She indeed didn’t see anything. Just now, he was lying against her neck, so, she didn’t see anything.
Lin Qing didn’t expect that after she shook her head, he felt even more unreconciled and asked, “What do you feel?”
Zhao Zimu thought for a moment and didn’t answer. Lin Qing didn’t know why his heart suddenly felt very sour. Just as he was about to inquire, he suddenly saw Zhao Zimu turn around, went to the hawker selling candied fruit and bought one. Then, she handed the candied fruit to him, “After you take a bite, you won’t be sad anymore.”
Lin Qing took it silently. Then, he looked at her and said, “Do you think I’m a child?”
“Sure enough, it wouldn’t work?” Zhao Zimu looked at the sky and sighed. She felt that if she wanted to comfort this Lord Qiansui, she had to use special means. So, in a public place under thousand staring eyes, she intimately kissed Lin Qing’s forehead and said softly, “Actually, I feel heartache.”
Lin Qing suddenly felt that all the voice around him had disappeared. Only the sentence of that person rang in his ears like a bell that he had been waiting a thousand years for. His eyes could only see the woman in front of him. In this big world, only the figure of that person was in his world.
The remaining people were an illusion…
“Zhao Zimu…” Let’s get married….
What he didn’t say out loud was eventually swallowed and buried in his heart.
“Let’s go,” Zhao Zimu said warmly to him and grabbed his hand. He obediently let her pull him and wished that they could grow old like this.
It was just, that the road would come to an end after all. Zhao Zimu took him to a restaurant and found a seat by a window on the second floor. Xiao Lianzi busily wiped it carefully before letting them sit down.
The two were well dressed. The waiter had sharp eyes and was already waiting at a side. He introduced various dishes to the two of them graciously.
Zhao Zimu motioned Lin Qing with her eyes. Lin Qing returned the gaze. Oh, she got it. The meaning was to let her figure it out herself.
She ordered rue fragrant slices and golden silk koi which were the signature dishes of this restaurant. Then, she ordered a bowl of yam chicken soup before she let the waiter retreat.
Zhao Zimu blocked the gaze from Lord Qiansui and deliberately pretended that she didn’t understand the meaning. Wasn’t it just saying that she was shabby? Zhao Zimu was used to being simple and didn’t want to spoil Lord Qiansui. Anyway, Lord Qiansui had been emotionally up and down recently. It didn’t matter if the change was a bit greater.
When everything was served, Zhao Zimu took the initiative to scoop a bowl of yam chicken soup for Lin Qing before he moved. This was made with medicinal ingredients such as Chinese yam, wolfberry and astragalus. It had a good warming and nourishing effect on Lin Qing’s yin physique. Zhao Zimu didn’t sit in front of him, but sat beside him and fed him spoonful by spoonful. Then, she picked the golden koi and put it in her bowl, removed the bones one after another, fed it to him and waited for Lin Qing to have a taste.
In Chinese medicine, the male’s physique would be the yang one and the female would be the yin one. Here you can read more about the yin and yang in a human body.
Lord Qiansui who was being served diligently like this suddenly felt his face turn hot. Although, he was used at being served, but he had never seen someone being so carefully and thoughtful. Even emperor Jinghui had to move his own chopsticks, but he (LQ) didn’t need to…
There were many wealthy young masters who brought women to the restaurant to serve them, but none of them had ever seen people as intimate as Lin Qing and Zhao Zimu. It made the onlookers blush. Of course, if it was according to those literati, it would be an offense to the public morals.
Lin Qing who was being served comfortable, consciously ignored all the strange gazes around him. He continued to enjoy the service of the person beside him with a hot face, but his good mood was soon interrupted.
