Chapter 838 836 [Yun Hu is unhappy]

The moonlight is like silver, permeating the world.

The sound of insects rose and fell from time to time, inadvertently disturbing the night.

Finally return to silence.

Footsteps sounded quietly, and Lu Chen's figure appeared in the courtyard, and then came to the door of the main room.

He had just showered and changed his clothes, and the smell of alcohol on his body had dissipated a lot, but he still stopped, lowered his head to check briefly, and made sure there was nothing wrong before pushing the door open and entering.

The house is brightly lit, with red candles and colorful decorations creating a festive atmosphere.

Lu Chen closed the door and walked around the screen to the inner room.

What comes into view is a very warm scene.

In addition to the wedding wine, there were two plates of sweet and delicious snacks on the table.

Li Bingxue, who had changed into a long red dress, sat at the table and looked at him with a smile.

The original bright and noble makeup had been washed off, and her fair skin looked even more fresh and charming under the candlelight.

"Are you hungry?"

"How do you know?"

"All the important officials are here today. As the host, can you still worry about filling your stomach first? Even at a banquet, you still have to socialize. Everyone drinks a glass of wine and talks for a few minutes, and time flies. What's more, you are dealing with people with deep scheming minds. How can you relax? If I'm not mistaken, you probably have nothing else in your stomach except wine."

"Still using 'you'?"

Li Bingxue couldn't help laughing when she heard that, and asked curiously, "What should I call him? Lu Chen or Duke?"

"Cough cough."

Lu Chen sat down with great confidence and said seriously, "Call me husband."

"it is good."

Li Bingxue pushed the snack in front of him and said with a smile, "Husband, have a snack to fill your stomach."

Looking at her serene smile, Lu Chen couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

If it was Wang Chulong sitting opposite him at this moment, he would definitely accept the snack with a smile, and maybe even take the opportunity to touch Wang Chulong's little hand.

However, the impression Li Bingxue gave him was never one of gentleness and consideration. When he first met her, she was leading thousands of elite cavalrymen on the battlefield. Although she was a female general, she was no weaker than any man.

"I ate?"

Lu Chen reached out tentatively and picked up a piece of chestnut cake.

Li Bingxue wrinkled her nose and said with a smile: "What's that expression on your face? Am I a female demon?"

"of course not."

Lu Chen didn't bother to correct her address. He just threw the chestnut cake into his mouth and finished it quickly.

Just then, a teacup appeared in front of him.

"Husband, please have some tea."

Li Bingxue spoke softly, holding the teacup in both hands.

How could Lu Chen have imagined such a scene? He hesitated and reached out to take it.

The tea is warm, not too cold or too hot, just right.

Seeing Li Bingxue's gentleness that didn't seem fake, Lu Chen's heart suddenly moved, so he asked, "Did Gu Wan'er teach you this?"

"oops……"

Li Bingxue sighed, and couldn't help laughing: "You actually guessed it."

Lu Chen thought to himself, do I look that stupid?
"Wan'er said that all men in this world, regardless of their status, will have a peculiar mentality, which is to take the lead in the family. In other words, the best wife is always the gentle and considerate type, and only in this way can she capture her husband's heart."

Li Bingxue looked at Lu Chen with a smile in her eyes and asked, "Is that right?"

"wrong."

Lu Chen shook his head without hesitation and said frankly: "I don't deny that there are such men in the world, but I am definitely not one of them."

Li Bingxue supported her smooth chin with both hands and asked with interest: "Don't you like gentleness and consideration?"

“I like it, but it’s not the only one.”

Lu Chen stared into her eyes and said seriously, "Everyone has their own characteristics. The sameness will never touch people's hearts. You and I are husband and wife. Under the premise of mutual respect and tolerance, the best way to get along is to maintain our most authentic personalities. Just like I never ask Chulong to be lively and playful, and I will not let Senior Sister entertain in the backyard. I just hope that everyone can live under the same roof and follow their own hearts as much as possible. This is the long-term solution."

"I understand."

Li Bingxue's eyes were piercing, and she said with a half-smile: "You don't want to see everyone around you look the same, you want all flowers to bloom and excel in their own fields."

Lu Chen's face turned red, which was quite rare.

Li Bingxue continued, "Can I understand it this way? Can you accept your wife doing what she wants?"

Lu Chen had obviously thought about this question a long time ago, and smiled and said, "Of course. After the marriage, you will still be the commander of the Feiyu Army and can still lead troops to fight, as long as you are willing."

Li Bingxue's eyes curved like crescent moons. She suddenly leaned forward and kissed Lu Chen on the forehead.

"but--"

Lu Chen coughed and said carefully: "Madam can't go into battle to kill the enemy while she is pregnant."

"Ah."

Li Bingxue, who has always been very opinionated, agreed readily.

As Lu Chen said this, the atmosphere in the bedroom seemed to have a more charming flavor.

The two of them looked at the wedding wine on the table at the same time. Li Bingxue suppressed the throbbing in her heart and changed the subject, asking, "Why did the emperor give you the golden armor?"

Lu Chen smiled softly when he heard this, and said slowly: "It's still the same routine as before."

Li Bingxue pretended to listen attentively.

Lu Chen suddenly discovered that when she took off her military uniform and no longer deliberately maintained a cold attitude, she actually became a little more adorable, which perhaps she herself did not even realize.

That is a kind of simplicity that has not been contaminated by the world.

To outsiders, it is difficult to associate such an evaluation with Li Bingxue, but Lu Chen knows in his heart that she entered the military camp at the age of fifteen and lived a monotonous, restrained and regular life. She had no social interaction with aristocratic women and had never experienced the intrigues and human intrigues in the mansions. She always maintained her original pure heart.

When she completely lets down her guard, she is like a clean piece of white paper, making people involuntarily want to sketch it.

Lu Chen suppressed his thoughts and said slowly, "Whether it's the golden armor bestowed by the emperor or the flattery of a group of important officials, they are essentially putting a high hat on me and putting me in a rather awkward position. If I am the kind of person who can't lose face, it will be difficult for me to flatly refuse them when they make some seemingly reasonable requests in the future. Because in the simple values ​​of most people, since you have already taken enough advantage, you can't stick your neck out and refuse to give in."

Li Bingxue couldn't help but frowned and said softly, "I was wondering why it was so lively today. The emperor came here specially to give you the golden armor, and all the civil and military officials in the court, except Chen Lanyu, came to visit you, giving you enough respect."

"It's not just me, it's us."

Lu Chen said sincerely: "Don't forget, you are the only female general in the history of Da Qi, more precious than me, the Duke."

Li Bingxue smiled and did not deny this statement.

Lu Chen picked up the wine pot and poured the wedding wine into the prepared white jade cup. He picked up a cup and placed it in Li Bingxue's hand, saying softly, "After six years of ups and downs, I finally deserved it."

Li Bingxue held the white jade cup and said slowly: "Actually... I have always been worried that this is a dream."

"That year at the White Horse Ferry, when I turned to leave, I wanted to hear you call me to stop, but in the end, there was only the sound of the cold wind, and all I could see was pure white, just like my mood, empty and white."

"But then I asked myself, even if you asked me to stay, would I stop? Most likely not."

"There are many problems between us, not only our own ideals and persistence, but also the limitations of the overall situation of the border."

"When you came back from your surprise attack on Heluo, my father asked me if you didn't dare to compete with Lin Xi. I said you had already chosen Lin Xi, so why should I compete with her? Even if Li Bingxue liked Lu Chen, she also had her pride."

"It's true that I don't want to fight, it's also true that I don't want to fight, but it's also true that I have secret feelings for you."

"For you and me, it was best to keep our distance at that time. Being able to march side by side on the battlefield was the best outcome. However, there was always a thread of love spreading and entangled in my heart. With one last glance, it grew quietly and was hard to let go."

She always had a smile on her face, but one could sense a hint of sadness in her voice.

Lu Chen listened quietly, met her clear gaze, and said: "I am not decisive enough."

"No, I can't blame you. I'm not firm myself."

Li Bingxue raised the white jade cup and said softly, "That dream had a very happy ending."

"It's not a dream."

Lu Chen shook his head, then said seriously: "It's a lifelong companionship."

Li Bingxue smiled brightly.

They both raised their glasses at the same time and drank them all.

"Husband."

Li Bingxue blinked.

Lu Chen stood up, put his arm around her shoulders, and carried her sideways.

"what."

"what happened?"

"Lighter than I thought."

"Do you think I'm heavy?"

"I have always believed that the generals who can wield a lance on the battlefield are all strong and muscular men."

"Lin Xi is more powerful than me. Is she heavy?"

"Cough cough..."

Li Bingxue wrapped her arms around his neck, leaned close to his ear and said, "Husband, help me undress."

"As ordered."

Lu Chen naturally would not refuse this request.

From beginning to end, Li Bingxue never deliberately closed her eyes or acted shy.

The candlelight flickered gently, and a blush crept up Li Bingxue's cheeks.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Bingxue leaned on Lu Chen's chest and murmured, "I know you have a lot of things in your heart, and I also know that you can't stay at home all day. You will eventually have to face all the affairs of the country and the world. I loved you so much when you accompanied me and Wan'er to travel around Jiangnan. After so many years of waiting, I finally got a response. I will not restrict you in the future, but tonight is our big day, and I want you to stay with me all the time."

Lu Chen raised his hand and gently stroked her black hair, smiling and said, "Okay."

The next moment, Li Bingxue turned over and stood up.

Lu Chen was not surprised, but he soon said with some amusement and embarrassment: "General Li, this is our wedding room, not a battlefield. I am your husband, not a divine horse that will accompany you to fight on the battlefield."

Li Bingxue brushed her messy hair behind her shoulders and bit her lower lip gently, revealing a rare charm.

"Don't you like it?"

"Uh... I like it."

"Then don't talk."

"Uh... As you wish."

Being overturned by red waves, endless romance.
