Chapter 194: Two People Have a Common Sense

"Good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease. This is not what you once told me. Now look at what this is."

Baili Zhao took out a candied fruit and said, "Before I didn't like bitter taste, but you let me eat candied fruit. Now you must drink these medicines obediently."

Jiang Nianwei couldn't act coquettishly, so she could only take a deep breath, close her eyes, and drink the medicine in one go. The bitterness spread on the tip of her tongue.

Baili Zhao stuffed the candied fruit into her mouth, and finally the sweetness overwhelmed the bitterness.

"After taking the medicine, take a good rest for a day. We have a long way to go. When you feel better, we can continue to go out and play."

Jiang Nianwei was indeed sleepy and closed her eyes unconsciously.

Although Baili Zhao's trip was named to travel around the mountains and rivers, he still couldn't escape the mundane affairs, so he sat down at a table nearby and began to deal with those trivial official duties.

The sound of Jiang Nianwei's even breathing was in his ears. Baili Zhao occasionally looked up and saw her peaceful sleeping face, and a sense of satisfaction surged in his heart.

When Jiang Nianwei opened her eyes again, she felt refreshed, as if all her fatigue had gone with the wind.

She stretched lazily, and as her eyes moved, she happened to catch Baili Zhao's figure lying on the table. He seemed to be extremely tired and fell asleep unknowingly.

Jiang Nianwei got out of bed quietly, put on a coat, and carefully took out a thick and warm quilt from the cabinet. She walked towards Baili Zhao with light steps and gently covered him with the quilt.

Observing Ah Zhao closely, he was still the same as before, except that there was a hint of fatigue between his brows.

I think, as the king of a country, the burden on his shoulders and the inner pressure must be heavy that ordinary people can hardly imagine.

Jiang Nianwei couldn't help but reach out her hand, smoothing his furrowed brows and bringing him a little comfort.

Baili Zhao blinked his eyelashes gently. He had already noticed Jiang Nianwei's movements, but he pretended to be asleep.

Until the other person's hand stroked his brow, caressed his cheek, and felt the warmth touching his forehead.

He suddenly opened his eyes and hugged her into his arms, "While I was sleeping, what were you doing secretly, Sanniang?"

Jiang Nianwei didn't expect that he was awake. She couldn't help feeling embarrassed. When she thought about his behavior just now, her cheeks turned slightly hot.

"You lied to me."

"What did I lie to you about?"

"You're pretending to be asleep even though you're not asleep," she accused, her eyes flickering.

"And then you secretly kissed your husband?" Baili Zhao smiled, deliberately making her embarrassed.

"It's just that I see that your face is getting more handsome, and I'm so happy that I can't control myself for a moment."

After Jiang Nianwei finished speaking, she gently put her arms around his neck and adjusted herself to a more comfortable position in his warm embrace.

Taozhi came in with breakfast and happened to see this scene. She was so scared that she immediately closed the door.

Outside the door, she was in a dilemma. She didn't dare to leave rashly, but she was too embarrassed to continue standing. She could only ask softly, "Sir, Miss, do you still want this breakfast?"

Jiang Nianwei slowly stood up from Baili Zhao's warm embrace, coughed lightly to hide the blush on her cheeks, and carefully smoothed the wrinkles of her clothes, "Taozhi, come in."

Taozhi then carefully brought in the breakfast, "Miss, son-in-law, this is red dates, lily and lotus seed soup, which symbolizes a happy marriage and the birth of many children."

"I've never seen you put so much effort into breakfast before."

Baili Zhao was secretly delighted: "Taozhi's words are very good, she deserves a reward, and she must be rewarded generously."

Taozhi's eyes sparkled with joy when she heard this, and she bowed, "Thank you for the reward, son-in-law."

She lightly put down the red dates, lily and lotus seeds soup in her hand, with an unconcealable smile on her lips, and hurriedly bowed and left.

Witnessing her young lady being so sweet and happy was exactly what she wanted in her heart.

Jiang Nianwei was indeed feeling hungry. She took a sip of the soup and savored it carefully. "This soup tastes quite good."

Baili Zhao gently touched her forehead and smiled softly, "Sure enough, the fever has subsided. No wonder you are so energetic now."

The two were so close to each other that their breaths were entangled.

Jiang Nianwei took a few steps back and said, "I feel refreshed now."

"Why not?" He smiled and naturally took her slender hand. "I'll take you for a walk? Just the two of us."

But in a moment, the two of them were at the foot of the mountain.

"This place reminds me of the days when I was exiled."

Unconsciously, she had gotten out of the predicament, and Ah Zhao had ascended the throne. It should have been a happy thing, but she felt a little sad.

Baili Zhao suddenly said softly: "Sanniang, look, there is a deer at the edge of the forest over there."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nianwei skillfully pulled out the bow and arrow that was glowing with a cold light from behind her back. The tip of the arrow trembled slightly, as if ready to be fired, but in an instant, she slowly lowered her arm without moving.

"what happened?"

"That is a doe that is about to give birth. Look, its round belly is slightly bulging. Although hunters make their living in the mountains and forests, they also have an unwritten rule - pregnant doe must not be harmed easily."

"Then don't kill it. There are wild rabbits there, which are also delicious when roasted."

Jiang Nianwei took out a bow and arrow and shot two wild rabbits. "We have dinner."

"Thanks to my wife."

The two hunted five or six rabbits and two pheasants, which was enough food for several days.

Mountain game naturally has a unique flavor.

Until Jiang Nianwei found an abandoned swing, "It seems that someone once lived here."

"It used to be occupied, but I bought it, and the villagers nearby moved to the town."

Jiang Nianwei was very surprised: "You mean, this mountain is all yours?"

"It was originally mine, but it is not anymore. I have already placed the deeds with Taozhi, and this piece of forest is my gift to you." As he spoke, he carefully captured every change on Jiang Nianwei's face, looking forward to her reaction.

"You know, I don't lack these...why bother with so much effort?"

"You don't need it, that's you. What I gave is naturally my heart. I want to give it to you. This is a special place for us."

Baili Zhao held her face gently.

"Okay, then I'll accept it reluctantly."

She didn’t know what the future would hold, but right now she just wanted to grasp what was in front of her.

Jiang Nianwei sat on the swing, and Baili Zhao pushed the swing from behind. Unexpectedly, the rope of the swing, which had been in disrepair for a long time, suddenly broke.

Baili Zhao quickly grabbed Jiang Nianwei's waist, and the two fell into the snow together.

Jiang Nianwei lay on top of him, and when their eyes met, she finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Look at how embarrassed you are."

"Who gave that to me?"

Baili Zhao brushed the snow off her face, stared at her slightly open lips motionlessly, and finally couldn't help but kiss her.

It was another long kiss, but this time it was a little chilly.

After the kiss, Jiang Nianwei couldn't help laughing.

"What makes you so happy that you are laughing at this moment?" he asked softly.

"I'm laughing at your miserable look. Look, your ears are red from the cold." Jiang Nianwei reached out and covered his ears, trying to keep him warm.

"Actually, my ears aren't cold." He was just too shy and his ears were hot.

Jiang Nianwei lowered her eyelids, her voice as soft as a mosquito, but every word was full of affection: "A Zhao, I love you so much that I don't want to be separated from you for even a moment."

Baili Zhao's chest heaved violently, he was completely immersed in those gentle words, unable to extricate himself.

"I am pleased with you, too."

"Stay by my side forever and ever and be my queen. I believe you will be the best queen."

Jiang Nianwei said nothing more, but buried her cheek in his warm neck.

Baili Zhao untied the fox fur coat and wrapped her in his arms.

The snow was white and vast, and there were only two people clinging to each other in the world.

After a stroll in the woods, the two returned with a full load. Baili Zhao left the prey to the kitchen for processing.

Charcoal fire had already been lit in the room. Jiang Nianwei gently rubbed her hands, which were slightly red from the cold, and warmed them over the fire.

After staying in Yazhou for a long time, it became extremely difficult to spend the winter here. She was very afraid of the cold here. This time she went out, it was already very cold.

Taozhi had already roasted the oranges and walnuts in advance. "Miss, I will peel them for you."

"Taozhi, go down and have a rest. I'll be all right here."

Taozhi saw her young lady nodded, then she withdrew.

This time, she had a vacation and didn't have to do anything.

Baili Zhao began to peel the orange and put the hot orange flesh into her mouth.

"Sanniang, how is it? Is it sweet?" He had an expectant look on his face, waiting for a compliment from his sweetheart, just like a puppy wagging its tail for reward.

"Sweet, the oranges peeled by A Zhao are the sweetest." She responded with a smile.

"Then I want to try it too." He leaned forward and kissed her lips without any hesitation, "It is indeed sweet."

"You--" Jiang Nianwei's cheeks turned slightly red. She pretended to be angry and stretched out her finger, gently tapping his chest.

"Are you angry? Then hit me, I will definitely not dodge." A playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Jiang Nianwei just pushed his chest lightly, but her hands were immediately grabbed by his hands.

She sat directly on Baili Zhao's lap and returned to his warm arms.

Jiang Nianwei did not resist anymore, and the two of them sat quietly for a while, during which time Baili Zhao kept feeding her food.

"If I continue to eat, I won't be able to eat dinner."

"Then you should eat more. You will have more physically demanding things to do in the evening."

Jiang Nianwei's cheeks turned slightly red. She patted him lightly and said angrily, "You're here again. You're talking even more nonsense."

"It's obviously Sanniang, but you're thinking the wrong thing again. Last time I found out that you really like fireworks, let's go to town to watch the fireworks tonight!"

“Are there fireworks in this town too?”

After all, in ancient times, fireworks were also an expensive luxury.

Baili Zhao just smiled and said nothing.

"Pretending to be mysterious!"

Dinner consisted of roasted rabbit and braised pheasant that had been hunted during the day. Jiang Nianwei ate one rabbit leg and couldn't eat any more.

Baili Zhao wrapped her tightly and drove the carriage towards the town.

The two of them looked like an ordinary couple, blending in with the crowd. "It's getting close to the end of the year, and the town is starting to get lively. Look at the lanterns. Do they look good?"

Jiang Nianwei picked up an exquisite lotus lantern from the dazzling array of lanterns and looked at it carefully.

"It looks good, and it matches Sanniang very well."

When Jiang Nianwei passed by the stall, she smelled the fragrance of onions and said, "A Zhao, I feel hungry again."

"You were told to eat more at dinner. You're hungry again before we even reach our destination."

"Actually, I'm not hungry. To be precise, I'm craving for wontons again."

"it is good."

The two found an empty seat and sat down. "Boss, two bowls of wontons, please."

"Yes, my two distinguished guests, please wait a moment and I will serve it to you!" The boss responded, his words were efficient.

Soon, the boss held a bowl of steaming wontons in his hands, placed it on the table, and said with a smile: "Look at the temperament of the two of you, you are definitely not locals."

"How did you tell?"

The boss smiled naively and scratched the back of his head. "Our town is usually not very busy, but this year some prominent figure generously donated money and ordered people to decorate this place. He also mentioned that there would be a fireworks feast. As a result, people from surrounding towns came here one after another. We also benefited from it and our business has become much more prosperous."

"You two look so happy and cheerful. You look like a newlywed couple. You are a talented man and a beautiful woman. You are truly a match made in heaven." The boss smiled and praised sincerely.

Baili Zhao was secretly delighted, but he didn't show it on his face. He just smiled and said, "Boss, you really have a good eye for talent. Your wontons are also unique and delicious."

Jiang Nianwei turned her head and looked at the smiling Baili Zhao, and asked softly: "All of this was specially arranged by you."

Baili Zhao took a bite of the wonton in his hand and replied vaguely: "You will know in a moment."

After saying this, he put down a heavy piece of silver weighing five taels, took Jiang Nianwei's hand, and the two left together.

The boss shouted from behind: "Sir, sir, you gave too much."

"Five taels of silver, you are really a noble man."

Baili Zhao held her hand and walked through the bustling crowd until they arrived at an icy lake.

Before your eyes, all kinds of ice sculptures are arranged in an orderly manner, crystal clear and lifelike.

Jiang Nianwei couldn't help but stretch out her fingertips and gently touch the cold sculpture, her eyes sparkling with amazement: "It's so beautiful, just like the real thing, it's hard to tell the real thing from the fake."

She thought to herself that this scene must have been the result of Baili Zhao's painstaking effort. He must have been quietly preparing for many days just for this moment.

"Like it?"

"like very much."

"Last time, we watched the fireworks in the palace. This time, we have no scruples. I want to accompany Sanniang to watch the fireworks again."

He took her hand and walked across an ice bridge until they arrived under a towering ancient tree.

There were no passers-by here. Baili Zhao suddenly put his arms around her slender waist, and with a light leap, the two of them sat steadily on the thick branches.

Jiang Nianwei didn't have time to stabilize herself at first, and her body swayed slightly. Baili Zhao was quick to support her in time.

"Sanniang, our marriage was a show for others to see, but now, my heart desires to spend the rest of my life with you and become a real couple. Are you willing?"

Before he finished speaking, brilliant fireworks suddenly bloomed in the night sky, dazzling and illuminating each other's eyes.
