Work overtime

"I think what you said is very insightful. Form is emptiness, and emptiness is form. It is neither born nor destroyed, nor stained nor pure, nor increases nor decreases. I am me, and I am not me. I will do this next to you from now on. How am I?"

Li Beichen smiled and pinched her face.

Real me.Complex me.The changed me.

Jiang Yuebai tilted his head slightly and looked at Li Beichen, looking like he was thinking.

At this moment, Li Beichen finally understood why he was so uncharacteristically crazy about Jiang Yuebai.

He will try every means, even if it goes against his principles, to keep her by his side at all times, and find various excuses to let her integrate into his life.

Not only does he have an extremely strong primitive desire for Jiang Yuebai, he always wants to hug and kiss her.She was the first and only person he wanted to kiss.

Although he was suspicious and insecure, he completely trusted Jiang Yuebai and gave her his back.Show your fragile, childish, and impulsive side in front of her.

I can have a tacit and in-depth communication with her at the "superego" level, such as talking about Buddhism and "how to circumvent the ancestral system" late at night.

Jiang Yuebai started to feel a little dizzy and didn't think too much like Li Beichen.

Li Beichen wrapped his black hair around his fingertips, his eyes were warm and his voice was soft, "Bright?"

Jiang Yuebai smiled and blinked, "Yeah."

Jiang Yuebai heard a crazy system broadcast, and his mind was buzzing. It was probably because the emperor's favorability points were soaring again.She is now so familiar with the system that she doesn't even bother to look at the details.Just waiting to get the gift at full level.

Just use your mind to mute the sound.

Li Beichen reluctantly loosened the hair from his fingers, "Jiaojiao, I want to take you somewhere."

"Are you going to eat barbecue?" Jiang Yuebai felt very hungry.

Just drinking, no time to eat food.

Li Beichen replied gently: "Okay."

What he wanted to take her to was not a place to eat barbecue.

Li Beichen pulled Jiang Yuebai into the garden, each carrying a sword in his hand.

This time I didn't stop with her to look here and there, but led her to walk very fast.

In an open space, Jiang Yuebai was surprised to find a decent barbecue grill.

The coal fire underneath has been lit and burning brightly.

It seemed that during the time they were just wandering around, the palace chefs had painstakingly prepared everything.

Li Beichen pulled Jiang Yuebai and sat on the thick felt on the ground, "I can't make roast suckling pig tonight, let's do it next time. Let's make do with some roasted lamb legs first. Can you eat spicy food?"

"Slightly spicy."

"Good. Mildly spicy."

Li Beichen walked to the grill and hung the leg of lamb on the grill.

Li Beichen picked up a piece of wood and threw it into the fire. He glanced at Jiang Yuebai with an evil smile and said, "I like to play with fire."

So “man, are you playing with fire again”?
Jiang Yuebai lowered his head and snickered.

Li Beichen explained seriously: "I have really liked playing with fire since I was a child."

Jiang Yuebai rubbed his face and felt his smile stiffen.

She couldn't imagine what a prince who loved to play with fire could do in the palace, set fire to the house?
The charming aroma of barbecue fills the air, making your mouth water.

Jiang Yuebai stared at the flames, smiling from ear to ear.

Who in future generations can imagine that in a corner of the Forbidden City, the emperor once transformed into a Xinjiang kebab boy, seriously sprinkling pepper and cumin powder?
The picture is so funny.

Li Beichen secretly glanced at Jiang Yuebai from time to time, and his mood became happy.He loved seeing her smile, it made his heart melt.

"what are you laughing at?"

"Have you ever heard, Your Majesty, that children who love to play with fire will wet the bed?"

Li Beichen asked jokingly: "Has anyone told you that adults who like to play with fire can do it too?"

It's a pity that Jiang Yuebai didn't hear the ambiguity inside.

Xu Fuhai, who was waiting in the corner, shrank his pupils and started to cry. Why did cumin powder get into his eyes again? It was so spicy.

Oh my God.Have you had any beef with paprika lately?

"Be careful with the heat, be careful with the oil."

Li Beichen handed Jiang Yuebai a meat bun and reminded him with concern.

It smells so good, I’m starving.

Jiang Yuebai took the Roujiamo and happily took a big bite. The outside was crispy on the outside and the inside was tender.

Swallow it and it's very delicious.Enjoy the delicious food and feel that life is happy and beautiful.

Who can believe that I can still be served by the emperor in this life?The emperor personally takes care of people?

Li Beichen asked expectantly: "Is it delicious? This is my first time making barbecue."

He happily sliced ​​a large piece of meat into thin slices with a dagger, sandwiched it between three scones, and carefully arranged it on the plate.

He held the plate and sat next to Jiang Yuebai, shoulder to shoulder.

Asked again, "Does it taste good? Is the saltiness appropriate? Do you want it to be spicier?"

The tone is just like what a husband would say to his wife in an ordinary family.

Jiang Yuebai swallowed the meat in his mouth and turned on the boastful praise mode, "No need to make it spicy anymore, it's good now. I didn't expect that the emperor's first barbecue would be so delicious. It's amazing! Not salty, not bland, just right." .”

Praise, praise hard.

After all, who doesn’t like to be praised by others?

Of course, the barbecue is really delicious.

Presumably the royal chefs had a small meeting and arranged the seasoning in advance.

This is the first time Jiang Yuebai has eaten barbecue since he came to this world, a long-lost barbecue taste.

Jiangnan cuisine is either steamed and boiled, which is particularly light, or braised in braised sauce, which is particularly rich.There is almost no need for grilling.

Li Beichen was so happy that he deliberately asked Jiang Yuebai to call him master with a straight face.

"Master~" Jiang Yuebai shouted with a smile.

If you are short-tongued, you won't suffer any loss if you call me a master.After receiving Jiang Yuebai's affirmation, Li Beichen asked with satisfaction, "Are you happy?"

"Of course I'm happy."

Li Beichen picked up a small wine jar next to him and handed it to Jiang Yuebai.I also held a jar myself.

He said lightly: "If you pair it with Saibei's wine, it will taste even more delicious."

As he spoke, his cheerful expression gradually turned melancholy.

My younger brother will go to the north to join the feudal clan in three days.It was freezing cold, sparsely populated, barbaric and desolate, and lacking in supplies. There was no prosperity like the capital, only cold war.

Jiang Yuebai asked curiously, "Does master know so much because he has been to Saibei?"

"Yes," Li Beichen held the wine jar and took a big sip, not caring that the wine spilled on his clothes.

"I used to go to Saibei to fight with my father. It was very cold there, but the snow was extremely beautiful. It often snowed heavily, like goose feathers. The blood on people's bodies spattered out and fell on the snow, as if it was open. Blossoming red flowers.”

Li Beichen said a lot in one breath, and then drank a few swigs of wine.

He stared at the light on the coals, his eyes motionless in trance.

Jiang Yuebai didn't ask. He held the wine jar and followed Li Beichen to drink a few gulps, and even let out a loud sigh on purpose.

"Ah~~"

Adult loneliness is unspeakable and needs no words.No matter how much suffering you have, you can only leave it to yourself.

Li Beichen turned his head to look at Jiang Yuebai and asked with a smile, "Is it spicy?"

"Spicy." Jiang Yuebai burst into tears, "It's really too spicy. The wine is spicy, and so is the mutton. It's so spicy that I'm going to cry to death."

Seeing Jiang Yuebai's embarrassed appearance, Li Beichen couldn't help laughing: "Hahahaha~"

Although it is spicy, the freshly roasted lamb leg is really delicious.

She had already eaten two "rougamo" and wiped her greasy hands with the emperor's handkerchief, feeling satisfied.

Li Beichen asked with a teasing smirk, "How is it? Is it delicious to gobble it up?"

Jiang Yuebi: "."

It's kind of vengeful.

She blinked and said with regret: "I ate it too fast and didn't have time to taste the real taste. But it feels very fragrant and tender."

Li Beichen took another "rougamo" and handed it to Jiang Yuebai, "Then let's have another one."

"It's delicious. But I can't eat anymore." Jiang Yuebai waved his hands repeatedly and looked around as if he was looking for something.

Li Beichen conjured another pot from nowhere, poured half a cup of liquid into his cup, and then handed it to Jiang Yuebai, "Are you thirsty? Drink some juice."

Jiang Yuebai hesitated and did not answer.She wasn't used to drinking from other people's cups.

Li Beichen reminded: "There is wine in your glass."

"Thank you." Jiang Yuebai picked up the wine in his glass and drank it all in one gulp, wanting to take the jug of juice and pour it himself.

Li Beichen hid the wine bottle behind his back, "If you want to drink, just drink from my cup."

I’ve even kissed you, but you still dare to dislike my cup.

Jiang Yuebai stared at Li Beichen at a loss. She couldn't understand why the leader was so childish and unreasonable.

She pinched her fingers and wanted to grab it directly, but she assessed that she couldn't beat Li Beichen. Forget it, a good girl wouldn't fight with a male leader, so she decided to give up.

Seeing that Jiang Yuebai stopped snatching, Li Beichen felt a little bored, and even worried that Jiang Yuebai was really angry.

The porcelain pot in my hand was like a hot potato.He proudly picked up his glass and drank the juice in one gulp.

Then he leaned into Jiang Yuebai's ear and said teasingly: "If you don't drink from my cup, then I will have to feed you myself."

Jiang Yuebai hated being threatened.

This sentence touched a sensitive point in her heart, reminding her of how she felt when she was a child in her previous life and was threatened by her grandparents and father.

They once said many similar things to her: "If you don't have sex, I won't want you, I will throw you away, I will send you to an orphanage, I will not let you study, and I will marry you to the village." "Old cripple".
These threats made Jiang Yuebai's childhood full of depression and helplessness.

Only then did she understand that even after two lives, even if her father was very kind to her in this life, the scars in her heart still hadn't healed after all these years.

She didn't grab the cup or the porcelain pot. Instead, she picked up the wine jar and drank a lot of wine, trying to hide the panic and sadness in her heart.

Staring at the red coals, she felt lonely as never before.

Li Beichen put down the porcelain pot in his hand and carefully accompanied Jiang Yuebai.

He felt her bone-gnawing loneliness.

He stretched out his hand distressedly, wanting to hug her and give her comfort, and finally slowly lowered his hand.

Countless words of comfort were rehearsed in my mind.

As an emperor.

As a master.

as a friend.

As a lover.

After a long silence, he finally chose not to say anything.

She silently poured a glass of juice into Jiang Yuebai's cup and placed the cup where she could see it but not knock it over.

She refuses to drink from her own cup, and now she reacts so much to a joke, is it because she doesn't like herself?

The thought came to his mind and made him feel sad.

He narrowed his eyes and began to wonder if he cared too much about her.

He drank down the jar of wine at hand and opened another jar.

When he was about to raise his head and continue drinking, Jiang Yuebai held his hand down.
