Blackening starts from the golden years

After saying this, she ran to the next room to take a look, then ran out again, took Song Yinzhang and Yinping's hands, and ran back in in a hurry, saying with a smile:
"Look at this one, the seal and the silver bottle. Take a look at them. Do you like them?"

"like."

"like."

Song Yinzhang and Yinping girl laughed in unison.

Coming out of the room and looking at the pleasant garden in front of him, Song Yinzhang smiled happily and said:

"This garden is so beautiful. I want to practice pipa here in the future."

Hearing this, Sun Sanniang smiled and said:

"I'll make some fruit, and Pan'er will set out some tea, and then we can sit here and chat. It's nice."

Seeing that everyone was so happy, Zhao Paner smiled and said:

"How about this, I'll go prepare the tea, Sanniang and Yinping will go prepare some fruit, and Yinzhang will play the pipa, and we can celebrate here."

"Yeah."

"I'll get the lute."

"Yin Ping and I will go prepare the fruit."

"Well, let's gather here later."

"it is good."

"it is good."

The girls went to make their own preparations, while Yuan Xudong personally took Zhao Paner to the tea room.

……

In the tea room, Zhao Pan'er sat at the tea table preparing tea. At this time, Yuan Xudong walked up to her and sat down, stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, and gently sniffed her white and attractive swan neck. At the same time, his big hands caressed her soft body from bottom to top, and finally stopped at the right place, kneading it slightly, feeling very good.

"Yuan Lang, don't be like this, I'm busy."

Zhao Pan'er leaned softly in Yuan Xudong's arms, her pretty face blushing as she said shyly:
"You, take your hands away."

Hearing this, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:

"How dare you, I am the prince, how dare you, a woman, reject me?"

Zhao Pan'er blushed with shame, she gritted her teeth and said:
"My Lord, what do you want to do?"

"What do I want to do?"

Looking down at the blushing Zhao Pan'er in his arms, Yuan Xudong gently held her sensitive earlobe and said with a joking smile:

"say you Love Me."

"No, I won't tell you."

Zhao Pan'er said stubbornly. Looking at her, Yuan Xudong slowly increased the strength of his hands.

"Well, don't~~"

Zhao Pan'er blushed and said shyly:
"Can you please stop being like this?"

"say you Love Me."

"Hmph, no, I won't tell you."

"Good Pan'er, I must make you say you love me today."

"No, I won't tell you."

"You're not going to tell me, are you? Humph, if you don't tell me, I'll punish you severely."

"What do you want to do?"

"What do you think I want to do?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Xudong pressed Zhao Pan'er in his arms under him. It seemed that she understood the next way of punishment. Zhao Pan'er blushed, turned her head to the side, and clasped her two delicate hands together nervously and shyly, actually tacitly agreeing to the gentle punishment that Yuan Xudong was about to inflict on her.

"Hmm, hm~~"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty~~"

"Pan'er, tell me you love me."

"Husband, Pan'er loves you, um~~"

"Ah~~"

……

After an unknown amount of time, the teahouse finally quieted down again. Probably because of the hot weather, Yuan Xudong and Zhao Paner were sweating all over. Yuan Xudong was fine, he was energetic and smiling. Looking at Zhao Paner again, her pretty face was flushed, her body was limp and powerless lying in Yuan Xudong's arms, her eyes were hazy and intoxicated, she opened her mouth slightly and gasped, a few strands of black hair were wet by sweat and stuck to her fair and rosy face, she was a charming young lady, a charming and beautiful lady.

"My Lord, are you satisfied now?"

"Well, I'm satisfied."

Looking up at Yuan Xudong who was smiling smugly, Zhao Paner said lazily and weakly:
"Hmph, you know how to bully me."

"Ok?"

Looking at the charming Zhao Pan'er in his arms, Yuan Xudong caressed her fair and tender body while jokingly grinning:
"Besides knowing how to bully you, I also know how to bully your sister Yin Zhang. You two sisters are really natural beauties. How about you two sisters sleeping with me together tonight?"

"you……"

She looked at Yuan Xudong with her watery eyes. After being moisturized, Zhao Pan'er became even more charming. She said coquettishly with dissatisfaction:

"Why are you like this? I don't want it. You can only choose one between me and Yin Zhang at a time."

"Hey, this is not up to you."

Yuan Xudong smiled evilly and said:

"I am the prince. In this palace, I can do whatever I want. You and Yin Zhang must listen to me."

"I won't listen, what can you do to me?"

Zhao Paner said stubbornly.

"Do not listen?"

"If you don't want to listen, I won't listen."

"You are so brave. If you dare not obey me, I will beat you up."

"Hit me, hit me, I'll let you hit me, if you have the guts just beat me to death."

Zhao Pan'er said in a sweet and naive tone, she moved closer to Yuan Xudong and said she wanted him to hit her.

"Oh my, if you do this, I will really hit you."

Yuan Xudong said with a smile.

"Well, go ahead and hit me. Go ahead and hit me."

Zhao Pan'er pouted and continued to lean towards him. Seeing her like this, Yuan Xudong turned her over and made her lie face down with her buttocks facing up on his thighs. Then he slapped her buttocks twice and said with a smile:

"You are so arrogant because of your favor. You deserve a beating. Will you be obedient in the future?"

"Ah~~"

I didn't expect Yuan Xudong to really hit me, and hit me in such a shameful place. Zhao Pan'er couldn't help but scream. She lay on his thighs, blushing with shame and said:
"I won't listen, I won't listen, if you have the guts just beat me to death, beat me, beat me."

"Oh, I'll hit you if you want. You think I won't use too much force, right? Zhao Pan'er, they say you're spoiled and arrogant, right?"

"No, who is being spoiled?"

Seeing Zhao Paner still being stubborn, Yuan Xudong raised his hand and then lowered it. In a moment, Zhao Paner, who was severely spanked, actually...

"Hmm, hm~~"

She made a light "hmm" sound when she was hit, which made Yuan Xudong furious. He pressed Zhao Paner under him again and went in the opposite direction.

"Hmm, hm~~"

"Will you listen to me from now on?"

"Well, be obedient, umm~~"

"Ah~~"

……

After a long time, Yuan Xudong and Zhao Paner came out of the tea room. Instead of going directly to the garden, they went back to the house to change into clean clothes, and then returned to the tea room, carrying the new tea that had been prepared long ago to the garden. In a somewhat strange atmosphere, this impromptu afternoon tea event ended.

……

On the other side, after soaking in the Imperial River for an hour, Du Changfeng was finally able to get ashore. He left Shuangxi Tower holding a large grass shrimp caught from the Imperial River in his hands, went home to take a hot bath, changed into clean clothes, and then went straight to the cottage where Ouyang Xu lived, holding the large grass shrimp in his hands.

As soon as he saw Ouyang Xu, Du Changfeng angrily recounted the entire incident from beginning to end, and finally said angrily:
"Shrimp, such a big shrimp came out of my mouth, I feel so ashamed." After listening to Du Changfeng, Ouyang Xu looked at the big shrimp he was still holding in his hand and said with a smile while packing up his books:
"Brother Du, don't you think this shrimp is quite suitable for you?"

As he spoke, Ouyang Xu pointed to his eyes, and the meaning of his words was self-evident. Seeing him like this, Du Changfeng said unhappily:

"Brother Ouyang, I'm not showing this to you to make you laugh at me. I'm showing this to prove that they really made me miserable."

"Okay, okay, I know that Brother Du is doing this for my own good, but do you still remember how I advised you before?"

As he spoke, Ouyang Xu looked at Du Changfeng who was still stunned and said with a smile:

"What are you standing there for? Come over here and give me a hand."

"I'm already like this, ah~~"

With a soft sigh, Du Changfeng put the big grass shrimp in his hand aside and said:

"Well, you can cook it and eat it tonight."

After that, he helped Ouyang Xu to pack up the books in the room, muttering:

"But it's true. You tried to dissuade me again and again, but I didn't listen. That's why I got into this trouble."

Ouyang Xu did not respond, but quietly sorted out the books that filled the room. Du Changfeng continued:

"But Ouyang, since we hit it off right away, please listen to my advice. As for Zhao Pan'er, don't even think about taking her in as a concubine. It's best if you never see her again."

Hearing this, Ouyang Xu said affectionately:
"Pan'er is a good girl, and I really like her. Not being able to treat her as my first wife is the biggest regret of my life. Forget it, let's not talk about this. You just said that there was a man in Pan'er's bedroom, and he asked his men to push you into the Bian River. Do you know who he is?"

"I don't know. This is too much. As the saying goes, a scholar can be killed but not humiliated. I am a successful candidate in this year's imperial examination. Although I haven't been given a real job yet, I am still half an official. He actually ordered his men to push me into the Imperial River and keep me there for an hour. This is an hour. I almost lost half my life."

While helping to pack up the books, Du Changfeng said angrily:
"It is really abominable that you bully others and act lawlessly under the feet of the emperor!"

Hearing Du Changfeng say this, Ouyang Xu couldn't help but ask:

"Have you reported it to the police?"

"No, Ouyang, let me tell you, there are too many dignitaries in Tokyo City. Some of them don't even take the government seriously. Think about it, since the other party knew that I was a Jinshi this year, they dared to let their men throw me into the Imperial River for an hour, and even the passing officials didn't dare to intervene. They must be dignitaries. Although we are Jinshi, we can't beat them.

It is better to have less trouble than more. The most important thing now is my official status. As long as I am not given a real job, I am not a real official."

After saying that, Du Changfeng looked at Ouyang Xu and asked curiously:

"By the way, Ouyang, you and..."

Before Du Changfeng could finish his words, a servant stood in front of Ouyang Xu's house and reported:

"Is Mr. Ouyang at home? The young lady has a letter for me to hand over to you personally."

When Ouyang Xu heard that Gao Hui had sent him a message, he immediately walked out of the house. He opened the gate and took Gao Hui's handwritten letter from Gao's servant.

After returning to the house, Ouyang Xu opened the letter and started reading. It turned out that Gao Hui asked him to go to the lantern festival together in the evening.

Ouyang Xu frowned slightly. He didn't like women who were too extroverted. In his opinion, apart from her noble birth, Gao Hui was not as good as Zhao Pan'er in other aspects. He and Zhao Pan'er had been together for three years, and she had always been a polite woman. But what about Gao Hui?

Ouyang Xu had a very bad impression of Gao Hui. He thought that she was not only jealous and cruel, but also promiscuous. How could a woman make an appointment with a strange man to watch the lantern festival so late at night? Didn't she have any sense of shame?

Seeing Ouyang Xu frowning, Du Changfeng asked with concern:

"What's wrong? Did the letter say anything bad?"

After putting away Gao Hui's letter, Ouyang Xu said expressionlessly:

"Mrs. Gao asked me to go to the lantern festival with her tonight."

"This is a good thing."

Du Changfeng was very envious. He was still alone. He smiled with envy:

"It seems that the young lady of the Gao family likes you very much. But it's also true that you are quick-witted, handsome, and a third place winner of the imperial examination. No wonder the young lady Gao is deeply in love with you. I really envy you."

Hearing this, Ouyang Xu sighed and said:

"Brother Du, you don't know that Gao Hui is not as good as you think."

"how to say?"

Looking at Du Changfeng, Ouyang Xu asked:
"Do you still remember the last time we went to Lieutenant Yang's house together?"

"Oh, remember, there was a young lady from the Su family, the sister of Su Xingyuan who ranked third on the list, and she gave you plum blossoms."

"Yes, that's her."

Ouyang Xu continued:

"Three days after she gave the plum blossoms, she accidentally fell while going out, and she lost her left eye from then on. At first, I thought it was just a coincidence, but later, at the Luming Banquet, Mr. Gong, the proofreader who threatened to marry his youngest daughter to me, also had a problem in his family. When his youngest daughter was traveling by boat, the boat accidentally capsized. Although she was rescued, her clothes were soaked and many people saw her. So she had to become a nun out of shame."

"So you think all this has something to do with Gao Hui?"

"Ah."

Ouyang Xu nodded and said:

"Her father is a high-ranking official in the court, and her aunt is a favorite concubine of the emperor. She naturally thinks that she can decide everything in the world, including me. Think about it, the sister of a Jinshi, the daughter of a sixth-rank official, she can do whatever she wants. If I, a humble person, dare to disobey her, what will she do to me? Can she let Pan'er go?"

"This……"

Du Changfeng didn't know what to say, so he asked:

"Even after all this, you still dare to take Zhao as your concubine?"

Hearing this, Ouyang Xu said with deep affection and helplessness:
"In fact, I said that just to deliberately anger Pan'er. I know her too well. How could she bear the humiliation of being demoted to a concubine? As long as she walks away in anger and Gao Hui doesn't know of her existence, I can keep her safe."

"I see, so you want to protect her."

Seeing Ouyang Xu's deep affection, Du Changfeng was deeply moved. Ouyang Xu continued:
"In fact, from the moment we got engaged, there was only Pan'er in my heart. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have been able to endure the cold nights and study hard, and I wouldn't have had the money to hire a great scholar to go to Beijing to take the imperial examination. Over the years, I have often fantasized about getting my name on the list of successful candidates, marrying her with a bang, and then writing poems and painting and growing old together. It's a pity..."

As he spoke, Ouyang Xu felt so moved that it was as if when the Gao family asked him if he was married, the person who answered no was not him.

Listening to what Ouyang Xu said, Du Changfeng was so moved that his eyes turned red and he was almost about to cry. At this time, Ouyang Xu suddenly asked:
"Oh, by the way, Brother Du, you saw Pan'er this time. How was she? Was she too sad?"

"My eyesight isn't very good, so I didn't see it, but..."

After a slight hesitation, Du Changfeng told Ouyang Xu some of the things he had concealed before. He said in a deep voice:
"Ouyang, I'd better tell you the truth. That Zhao Pan'er, she..."

"Brother Du, what happened to Pan'er?"

Seeing Du Changfeng hesitate to speak, Ouyang Xu said anxiously:

"Tell me quickly, is Pan'er too sad and sick?"

"No, Ouyang, don't worry, Zhao Pan'er is fine."

Seeing Ouyang Xu getting anxious, Du Changfeng sighed softly and said directly:
"My love is too deep to be promised, Brother Ouyang. For the sake of Zhao, you are really wronged. You made such a sacrifice for Zhao, but she..."

After another soft sigh, Du Changfeng continued:

"Although my eyesight is not very good and I didn't see the details clearly, but I heard the man say that he was Zhao Pan'er's fiancé, and Zhao Pan'er did not refute him, and..."

"And what?"

Ouyang Xu was anxious and said:
"Brother Du, stop hesitating and just say whatever you want to say. I can accept it."

"Okay, then I'll just tell you."

"Well, tell me."

Looking at the anxious Ouyang Xu, Du Changfeng continued:

"Later, I used my Tocharian Seven Treasures Snow Mountain Dragon Tooth Colored Glaze Crystal to take a look at the young man, and I accidentally saw that he and Zhao were behaving very intimately. He even held Zhao in his arms and asked about her well-being."

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

After listening to what Du Changfeng said, Ouyang Xu couldn't accept it at all. He had been thinking about his fiancée day and night for three years, thinking that one day he would be able to pass the imperial examination and then hold her under him and pamper her wantonly, but now another man has taken the lead?
When Ouyang Xu thought of this, he could no longer sit still. He stood up and walked out of the house, saying:

"No, I'm going to find Pan'er and find out what's going on. I don't believe she would fall in love with another man."

"No, Brother Ouyang, you can't go to Zhao. Since you have chosen to protect her in this way, you can't go to see her again. You must be patient. If the Gao family finds out, all your efforts will be wasted."

Du Changfeng tried to persuade him earnestly. He stood at the door to stop Ouyang Xu from going out to find Zhao Paner.

Looking at Du Changfeng, Ouyang Xu sighed and murmured to himself:
"Yes, even if I can go to see her, she may not see me. Things have come to this point and cannot be reversed. Pan'er and I love each other, but fate plays tricks on us. This is God's will. What can we do?"

Although he said this, Ouyang Xu was jealous to the point of going crazy. If he had known this would happen, he should have forcefully taken Zhao Pan'er's body the night before he went to Beijing for the exam. In that case, she would not have been given to another man for nothing.

Ouyang Xu felt so regretful when he thought that his beloved Zhao Pan'er would have to lie under another man and enjoy the pleasure of sex in the future, while he had never touched her. They had been together for three whole years, more than a thousand days and nights. He studied hard and prepared for the imperial examination, while Zhao Pan'er sold tea during the day to earn money to support him, and stayed by his side at night, adding to his charm. With so many opportunities, and he was not Liu Xiahui, why didn't he be more forceful and take Zhao Pan'er's body?

Ouyang Xu regretted so much that his face turned black. Seeing him like this, Du Changfeng sighed:
"Ouyang's deep affection is Zhao's fortune. How sad and lamentable! It's really fate's trick!"

Hearing Du Changfeng say this, Ouyang Xu's face darkened, but in order to maintain his affectionate personality, he could only say more miserably:
"Pan'er has done me a great favor. At the beginning, I failed the imperial examination and drifted to Qiantang. I was so depressed that I chose to jump into the lake to commit suicide. It was Pan'er who rowed a boat to save me. This is her life-saving favor. Later, she took care of me financially and physically, and sponsored me to study for three years. This is the grace of giving me a new life. I owe her too much. I just hope that she can be happy in the future, so that I can rest assured."

"Alas, how sad it is."

Du Changfeng sighed softly, tears already streaming down his face.
