Chapter 203 Jealousy Eruption
Shen Shixi was so annoyed that she slapped his hand on the back of his hand, which stung painfully.
Li Yuanke's face was so gloomy it looked like it was about to drip water, and his gaze toward Nie Yunshen was filled with murderous intent.
Nie Yun Shen smiled brightly, "Thank you, Imperial Noble Consort, but no need. It's just a minor injury. I'll apply some medicine when I get back."
Before leaving, Nie Yunshen turned his head and glanced at Shen Shixi, his gaze deep and lingering.
Nie Yunshen is 28 years old. He comes from a prominent family and has been working in the military for more than ten years.
He has a very sunny and resolute face, with deep facial features, as if carved by a knife and axe, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, as clear as the moon in the sky.
When Shen Shixi fled from Beisha, Nie Yunshen was ordered to meet him on the Great Zhou side. Li Yuanke never expected that it would be that Nie Yunshen would fall in love with his woman.
The burning jealousy was truly unbearable.
Shen Shixi didn't notice anything amiss. She waved to Nie Yunshen, then leaned against Li Yuanke's chest, exhausted and sleepy!
She fell asleep.
Li Yuanke carried her and rode back, holding her limp body, and couldn't help but curse, "You heartless wretch!"
The commotion here was quite great. Li Yuanke handed Shen Shixi over to Bai Ping and others, and after washing up, he went to see his ministers. No one, from top to bottom, was indifferent to Zhou Weiming's rebellion.
Shen Shixi woke up. She had to wake up; she needed to take a shower before she could sleep.
The party went on so late that Shen Shixi naturally couldn't wake up the next day. When she finally did, she was already in the carriage.
After traveling for thirteen days, stopping frequently, we arrived at the Beiting Protectorate, where the scenery was completely different.
The plateau landscape is beautiful, with clear skies and crisp autumn air.
Shen Shixi got out of the car and gave Dadi a hug and a kiss.
He then rode his big donkey for a while on the grassland.
Nie Yun Shen followed her from a distance, like a dutiful bodyguard, if one ignored the deep affection in his eyes.
"Nie Yun Shen, is the injury on your back healed?" Shen Shi Xi's hair was ruffled by the wind; she brushed it aside, but the wind blew it away again. "Have you had a doctor take a look?"
Nie Yunshen suppressed the urge to hold her hair down. "Thank you, Your Majesty. The medicine has been applied. It's nothing serious. The doctor examined her. It's just a minor injury, nothing to worry about."
"Oh, could you please get me a sheep that's about six months old, slaughter it, and send it over? I'd like to have a whole roasted lamb for dinner." Shen Shixi smiled mischievously. She and Nie Yunshen had worked together before, so they had a bond of camaraderie.
Nie Yunshen nodded with a smile, "Okay!"
"I'll send you a pot of fine wine later!"
Nie Yun Shen smiled again, the setting sun reflecting on his face like a painting of timeless beauty, etched with the tenderness of years. "Good!"
Li Yuange came out and saw this scene. He was furious and shouted, "Xi'er, come here!"
"Come here, I'm not going!" After saying that, she rode her donkey forward, clattering along.
Li Yuanke mounted his horse and, as he passed Nie Yunshen, said, "The Imperial Noble Consort has her own protectors. You go about your business; you don't need to watch over her!"
Nie Yunshen dared not disobey the imperial decree, "Yes, Your humble servant obeys!"
He turned his head and saw the Emperor lift Shen Shixi up and place her in his arms before spurring his horse to gallop away.
His heart felt like it was being cut by a knife; he could hear the sound of blood dripping.
Li Yuanke's arm tightened around Shen Shixi's, making it hard for her to breathe. She turned her head and cried out, "Rose, Rose, come save me! Someone's trying to kill me!"
Li Yuanke laughed angrily, "You bastard, who wanted to kill you?"
"What's wrong with you? Li Yuanke, have you taken the wrong medicine? Are you trying to strangle me to death so someone else can take my place? There's no need for that. A simple imperial decree to banish me to the cold palace would suffice. Why waste a life?"
Li Yuanke rested his chin on her shoulder. "Stop talking nonsense!"
The two stopped their horses, facing the setting sun. The grassland was covered with unnamed wildflowers, swaying in the breeze. The lone smoke rose straight from the desert, and the setting sun was round over the long river. The scenery beyond the Great Wall was truly breathtaking.
Shen Shixi took a breath of the purest air, spread her arms as if to embrace the sunset.
"Li Yuanke, you're so beautiful! The scenery is beautiful!" She turned around and looked at Li Yuanke again. "You're beautiful too. The scenery of the world is beautiful in all four seasons, and the sunlight and moonlight are beautiful, but none of them can compare to you. You are truly a peerless beauty!"
All of Li Yuanke's frustration vanished. He pulled her into his arms and laughed, "Nonsense! I am a man, how dare you say I am...?"
"You just had to say it!"
She wrapped her arms around his neck, and the two kissed in the sunset.
Back in the tent, Bai Ping stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, the young master has sent over a sheep, saying it was what you requested."
Bai Ping was referring to Nie Yunshen, the heir of the Marquis of Wuling County.
Li Yuanke looked at Shen Shixi, who glanced at the cleaned whole lamb, said "Oh," and then said, "Marinate it with seasonings, prepare water, I need to take a bath, we'll eat roasted whole lamb later."
She moved to Li Yuanke's side, wrapped her arms around his waist, and teased him, "Your Majesty, would you like to eat my roasted whole lamb? Let me tell you, in the whole world, under heaven, no one's roasted whole lamb tastes better than mine. Come, give me a kiss here, and I'll grant you a bite!"
Li Yuanke was furious. All someone had done was send her a sheep, and she was so happy about it.
He opened his mouth and bit Shen Shixi's cheek. Shen Shixi was startled and quickly pushed him back, almost falling.
Li Yuanke supported her waist.
In the evening, the Beiting Protectorate hosted a banquet for the emperor and his officials, including a large bonfire party.
On the grassland, the campfire crackled and popped, and the whole roasted lamb sizzled and emitted a delicious aroma.
The stars twinkled in the sky, and the moon shone brightly tonight. The emperor and his ministers gathered together in a joyous atmosphere.
Shen Shixi brought over a pot of wine and handed it to Nie Yunshen, saying, "I told you this was for you. Try it, how does it taste?"
After she finished speaking, she sat down next to Li Yuanke, who glanced at her.
Why is Li Yuanke looking at me like that? That look, like he's caught me in adultery! Is he suspecting me? That bastard, he's a real piece of trash! He's a piece of shit himself, so everyone else looks like shit! Nie Yunshen is an upright gentleman, and I'm completely innocent too. Isn't he just humiliating me?
Li Yuanke was so angry that his face turned as black as ink, and he wished he could pick up the wine pot and smash it over her head!
He held back for a moment, but then, Nie Yun Shen took a sip of the wine and found it truly excellent. He raised his cup to Shen Shi Xi and said, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your kind words. I wonder how this wine was brewed; even the finest nectar cannot compare!"
At this moment, the ministers could smell the fragrance; it was indeed extraordinary.
Prime Minister Pei, being the closest, asked for a cup, took a sip, and immediately felt as if he had drunk a super-nutritious tonic, feeling comfortable and warm all over. "The Imperial Noble Consort brewed such a fine wine, and we, your subjects, were completely unaware of it!"
Li Yuanke thus realized that this wine was both a good thing and a bad thing.
It's delicious, and it's so addictive!
Shen Shixi then said, "To have gained Prime Minister Pei's approval, it seems my wine is indeed a fine product. Its greatest benefit is its ability to ward off the cold; the wine is called Snow Wine. Prime Minister Pei, do you think the people of Beisha will like this wine?"
