The Regent and His Wife Couldn't Possibly be so Loving.

34

The red candles were dimly lit, and the pearl curtains rustled. Xie Shu carried Mingyi to the couch, opened the curtains and put her on the couch.

He was about to do something, but Mingyi raised her hand and pushed him away: "No."

Xie Shu: “Hmm?”

Mingyi whispered, "Today's moving party was very tiring, and my shoulders are sore right now."

Xie Shu: "..." Busy? Was he busy giving more instructions, or was he busy drinking more cups of tea?

And what does shoulder pain have to do with what he is going to do?

Mingyi tugged at his sleeve: "Husband, help me pinch it."

Xie Shu, who had been busy with government affairs from morning till night, sighed almost imperceptibly, raised his hand and placed it on Mingyi's shoulder, gently squeezing it.

Mingyi lay on the couch with her eyes closed and relaxed. Suddenly she remembered something and opened her eyes abruptly to look at Xie Shu: "Husband, the spring hunting season will begin in a few days."

Xie Shu continued to move his hands, gently pinching Ming Yi's shoulders, and responded to her: "Yeah."

Mingyi suggested to Xie Shu: "I think you and I should dress to match each other, preferably in the same color and style of riding and archery outfit. This will show that we are a couple and let everyone see our love for each other."

Xie Shu: “…That’s not necessary.”

Mingyi sat up suddenly, stared at Xie Shu and asked, "Why not?"

"I don't know who it is, who doesn't want to get a divorce but insists on being a loving couple?"

Yes, it's him.

Xie Shu was speechless for a moment.

Mingyi looked at him and said, "Besides, the late spring hunting will be held in Tandeshan this time, so I think you and I should make it more solemn."

Xie Shu was puzzled: "Why?"

Mingyi opened her eyes wide, her long eyelashes trembling: "It's a different place for you and me!"

Xie Shu didn't think this mountain was any different. It was just an ordinary royal hunting ground. But Ming Yi blushed and said awkwardly, "You kissed me there for the first time."

Xie Shu:?

Ming Yi saw Xie Shu's face that he didn't want to admit it, and he was furious: "Have you forgotten? Five years ago, it was at the Yuquan Lake behind the Tande Mountain."

She pointed to her lips: "You kissed me."

Xie Shu thought about it and indeed remembered something.

Five years ago, during the late spring hunting trip, the late emperor was still alive, and he and Mingyi had only known each other for a few months.

All the hunters rode on horses, except Mingyi, who went in a sedan chair instead of riding a horse.

When Mingyi was young, he almost lost his life because of falling off a horse, so he was very afraid of horses. People who knew this were fine, but those who didn't knew it thought Mingyi's behavior was a bit extravagant and artificial, and looked inappropriate.

The late emperor had always been strict with his daughters, and he pretended to scold Mingyi.

Mingyi didn't want to cause trouble, so she left the crowd on her own.

Somehow, she "happened" to be beside him. Xie Shu had encountered this kind of "chance encounter" no less than ten times in the past few months.

Even though she never said it, Xie Shu could tell something from the way she looked at him. However, he never thought that they were the same kind of people, and he had no special feelings for her, so he always treated her with courtesy and avoided her whenever he saw her.
