Chapter 9 The Bridal Candle

At the middle of Xu, it was already dark. Li Ke sent off the last wave of colleagues who came to congratulate him and finally stopped.

Because it was too late and most slaves in the royal family were busy in the front yard, the inner yard seemed particularly quiet at this time. Li Ke stood outside the bedroom door, and from time to time he heard the last few cicadas in the near autumn, and the cool breeze in late summer was gently blowing on his face, and he felt a sense of comfort.

Li Ke walked out of the door and, following his previous habits, was about to push the door into the room, but Li Ke looked up at the bright lights in the bedroom. His hand, who was thinking of pushing the door, suddenly stopped and stopped in the air.

Li Ke knew that now is no longer as good as before. There was still someone waiting for him in his bedroom, and he couldn't break in rashly, making the beauty abrupt.

"Dong, dong, dong." Li Ke retracted his hand, pushed it to knock, and knocked gently on the door.

"But Sanlang is back, come into the house quickly." Li Ke's hands knocking down, and Wu Meiniang's voice sounded inside the house.

"Okay." Li Ke responded and gently pushed the door open and entered.

Li Ke entered the bedroom and did not see Jin'er. He only saw Wu Meiniang sitting sideways by the bed with a round fan in her hand. Li Ke couldn't help but smile. Jin'er, a little girl, was sensible, probably because she was about to go back and pinch her to go out.

Li Ke walked to the edge of the bed and sat down beside Wu Meiniang, looking up at Wu Meiniang. The round fan in Meiniang's hand was as thin as a cicada's wings. Looking through the round fan, looking at Wu Meiniang's vaguely visible outline, the green green eyebrows and the crimson lips as red as agate, it seemed to look at the flowers through the fog. Although it was not very real, it also had a bit of hazy smell.

This glance was so beautiful. Li Ke looked at Mei Niang and did not rush to take the round fan. Unconsciously, he looked at it for a long time. Although Li Ke did not speak, Wu Meiniang could also feel that Li Ke was staring at him through the round fan. In Mei Niang's eyes, Li Ke's eyes seemed to be fire, as if he could burn the gauze fan in his hand and sink himself deeply into his eye sockets.

Unconsciously, Wu Meiniang blushed, lowered her head, her eyes wandered, and instinctively avoided Li Ke's eyes.

"What are Sanlang looking at?" Wu Meiniang lowered her head and asked Li Ke moaningly.

Li Ke smiled softly, gently held Wu Meiniang's hand with one hand, and grabbed the round fan in Wu Meiniang's hand with the other hand, and took it away.

Li Ke looked at Mei Niang, who was so cool in front of him, and said softly: "'It's bright like the light clouds covering the moon, and it's floating like the flowing snow in the wind'. What I am looking at is naturally my princess."

Li Ke's words came to Wu Meiniang's ears, and a trace of sweetness suddenly ejaculated in Wu Meiniang's heart.

If it were an ordinary woman at this time, she would probably have been embarrassed to be out of place and could not speak. But Wu Meiniang was not ordinary after all. She didn't know where she had the courage to come from. In front of Li Ke's fiery eyes, she raised her head, her beautiful eyes were like crescent moons, looked at Li Ke and asked, "Is that Meiniang beautiful?"

Li Ke raised his hand and slowly held Wu Meiniang's face, for fear that the finger calluses that had been born from his years of martial arts practice would hurt Meiniang, so he gently brushed his back of his fingers across her delicate cheeks and said, "If the princess was not very beautiful, how could I fall in love at first sight and would not want to look at her again."

Wu Meiniang was still young at this time. Although she was wearing makeup, her eyebrows were still a little tender. If Wu Meiniang was now a stunning beauty in the world, maybe it was a little early, but Li Ke knew that in a few years, when Wu Meiniang got rid of her childishness, she would be the brightest peony in the entire Chang'an City.

Wu Meiniang seemed to remember something again when she heard Li Ke's words, and suddenly said: "What Sanlang said just now is light clouds covering the moon and the rosy snow are all poems from previous generations. Your Highness is amazing and beautiful, not weak in the ancients, so why should you pick someone up wisdom? Sanlang is still missing Meiniang's poem but fanned by her."

The customs of the Tang people mostly followed the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Since the Jin Dynasty, a famous scholar Wen Qiao put a fan on his wedding. He has been following the words of "dividing the cups in the barrier, but slitting in front of the window". The "slipping the fan poem" in Wu Meiniang is written by a newlywed man to remove the round fan from his wife's hand. Although it is not necessary, if he can chant it, it will be elegant in the boudoir.

When Li Ke heard this, he thought for a moment, and then said, "The red sleeves add fragrance to the world is a joy, and Mei Niang polishes ink for me."

"No." Since Li Ke asked Wu Meiniang to polish the ink, he had already had a curse. Wu Meiniang responded with a smile, got up and went to the desk to polish the ink.

Wu Meiniang was originally fond of calligraphy and painting, and she often picked up her pens when she was in the mansion, so she naturally became very familiar with grinding ink. In just a moment, a inkstone was completed in Wu Meiniang's hands.

Li Ke stood in front of the desk, slowly lifted the pen, put the pen in the inkstone and rolled it gently. After dipping the tip of the pen with thick ink, Li Ke picked it up.

"The treasure fan comes to the Chu Palace, and the fragrance is waving under the osmanthus. The eun must chase the colorful clouds and cannot hide in the middle of the moon."

Li Ke waved his pen, and in just a moment, a poem "Busheshe" was written in Li Ke's hand, jumping onto the paper, Wu Meiniang read the poem softly, and asked Li Ke: "'Young E must chase the colorful clouds, and you must not hide in the middle of the moon all night.' Sanlang wrote a poem, but compared Meiniang to the fairy in the moon?"

Li Ke reached out and held Wu Meiniang in his arms, and said softly: "Mei Niang's beauty is not something that can be imagined by the world, but the fairy in the Moon Palace, so I can't think of him."

Since Wu Meiniang and Li Ke met, this is the first time that Li Ke has truly embraced her. Wu Meiniang was held by Li Ke and held tightly in her arms. She suddenly felt that her body suddenly became weak.

Wu Meiniang pressed against Li Ke’s solid chest, raised her head and looked at Li Ke. Unconsciously, she seemed to be drunk, her eyes were blurred, and her cheeks were flushed, as if she had peach blossoms blooming on her face, which looked very beautiful.

Li Ke hugged Mei Niang with one hand and placed the other on her slightly hot face. Feeling the slightly hotness of her fingertips, he asked with a smile: "What? Did my princess secretly drink wine while I was not in the room and was almost drunk?"

Wu Meiniang snuggled on Li Ke's body, and held her hands at a loss on Li Ke's shoulders, repeatedly denied: "Mei Niang has not drunk, Meiniang must be unable to drink, and was intoxicated by the smell of the alcohol on Sanlang."

Li Ke shook his head and said, "At the banquet just now, most of my wine was blocked by the generals under the command of the Right Guard. There were not many cups of real drinks. The princess said this, but I was wronged."

When Wu Meiniang heard this, a cunning smile appeared on her face. She actually hugged Li Ke's neck and said to Li Ke: "Since that's the case, then Meiniang wants to hear whether Sanlang was wronged."

As he said that, Wu Meiniang actually stood on tiptoe and put her face in front of Li Ke's mouth and nose.

As Wu Meiniang brought herself to Li Ke's eyes, a gust of fragrant wind blew on her face, and the beauty was breathing like orchids. Li Ke seemed to be fascinated by the fragrance of flowers that were intoxicated.

Li Ke looked at Mei Niang in front of him, like an orchid blooming under the dew in early spring, pure but not without beauty. Li Ke suddenly felt rippling and slowly bent down, put his mouth on, and kissed the red lips that were like petals to his mouth.

The heat emitted from Li Ke's body was as hot as fire, which could melt the beauty in his arms. Wu Meiniang leaned in Li Ke's arms, her whole body was soft. If Li Ke hadn't hugged her, she would have been unable to stand long ago.

"Your Highness, it's getting late. Blow the lights and take a break soon." Wu Meiniang whispered to Li Ke in a low voice.

"Okay." Li Ke responded, picked up Mei Niang in his arms, bent down, and blew the palace lanterns on the table.

As the palace lanterns were turned off, the entire room was pitch black except for the moonlight that penetrated through the window...
