When Liu Mingzhi and the little girl heard Sakai Hoshino's voice, they all looked outside the pavilion.
I saw Sakai Hoshino standing in the arch of the small courtyard, holding two pieces of silk, one plain white and one light blue, in his arms, looking at Liu Mingzhi and Liu Mingzhi sitting in the pavilion with a pretty face in surprise.
Liu Mingzhi looked at the beauty who was looking at him with smiling eyes, and immediately raised his hand and patted the little girl's shoulder twice.
"Xiaoying Zhi, why don't you go help your mother quickly?"
When the little girl heard Mr. Liu's greeting, she nodded with a smile and hurriedly stood up and walked towards her mother.
"Mom, you are back, Yingzhi will help you get the fabric."
Sakai Hoshino glanced sideways at the wing not far away, and then at Young Master Liu sitting in the pavilion. His pretty face looked helplessly at the smiling little girl in front of him.
"Stinky girl, look at how happy you are. As soon as Mr. Liu comes to my mother's place, you can just be lazy, right?"
"Hehehe, mother, you wrongly blamed Yingzhi. It's not that I wanted to be lazy, it was my husband who asked Yingzhi to rest for a while.
Mom, if you don’t believe it, you can ask your husband if this is the case. "
"What are you asking about? Don't think that your mother knows about your husband without knowing about it."
Hua Qiyingzhi took a sneak peek at her mother's face and saw the look in her mother's eyes that had already seen through everything. The little girl blinked her watery eyes and laughed a few times.
"Hehehehe, mother."
Naturally, Sakai Hoshino would not really be angry with his daughter. Seeing his daughter's flattering eyes, he casually took out the plain white silk from his arms and placed it in the little girl's hand. .
"Let's go."
"Hey, mother, please come first."
Sakai Hoshino and his daughter walked into the pavilion one after another, and casually placed the cloth in their hands on the stone bench next to them.
"Hoshino has met Mr. Liu."
"No gifts, no gifts, please sit down, Yingzhi, you can sit down too."
"Hey, thank you Mr. Liu."
"Thank you, sir."
Sakai Hoshino adjusted the hem of Lingluo's fringed skirt and sat elegantly on the stone bench next to Liu Mingzhi.
"Mr. Liu, Hoshino didn't know you were coming today, so he went out and bought two pieces of fabric.
I'm really sorry to keep you waiting. "
Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly and shook his head, carrying a pot and pouring a cup of tea for the beautiful lady.
“It’s okay, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about.
I didn't inform you in advance of my coming. Isn't it right for you to go out and take a walk?
Besides, although you are not in the room, this girl Yingzhi entertained me very well.
Look, the tea, fruits, pastries and other food on the table were all prepared by Sakurazhi herself for me, not to mention how considerate they were.
This girl is much more sensible than my young master's daughters. "
Sakai Hoshino couldn't help but feel a touch of relief on his pretty face when he heard Liu Mingzhi praising his daughter.
Although the beauty was very pleased, she still spoke modestly.
"Mr. Liu, this is what this girl Yingzhi should do.
Also, don't praise her, this little girl can't stand compliments the most.
As soon as you praise her, her tail will rise to the sky, and she might cause you some trouble! "
The little girl pouted her pink mouth with a bitter look on her face. She angrily picked up a piece of orange, broke it open and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Mom, isn't Yingzhi as naughty as you say?
My husband praised me for being well-behaved and sensible. Can't you, my mother-in-law, also say something to praise Yingzhi? "
Sakai Hoshino's eyebrows were raised slightly, and her beautiful beautiful eyes glanced at her daughter beside her, who was pouting her cherry lips and looking angry.
"What? What you mean by this is that your mother has wronged you?"
The little girl heard the change in her mother's tone, hurriedly shrank her tender neck, and shook her little head with a sneer on her face.
She seemed to know very well what it means to be a man who knows the current affairs. She picked up the tea that Young Master Liu had just poured and handed it to her mother's hand.
"No, no, everything my mother said is right, it's all right.
Mother, you drink tea, you drink tea. "
When Sakai Hoshino saw his daughter's understanding, a subtle smile flashed in his eyes, and he picked up the tea and took a sip.
When Hua Qiyingzhi saw her mother drinking tea, she hurriedly reached out and tugged on Young Master Liu's sleeve.
Liu Mingzhi felt the little girl tugging at his sleeves, and looked at her with a puzzled expression.
The little girl saw the doubtful look on Young Master Liu's face, and looked at his big watery eyes as he kept pointing in the direction of the arch of the small courtyard.
What he wanted to express to Young Master Liu was self-evident, that is, sir, my mother has come back, you should tell her to let me go out to play.
Liu Mingzhi looked at Hua Qiyingzhi's erratic eyes and instantly understood what she meant.
Liu Mingzhi gave her a look of understanding, closed the jade fan in his hand and coughed twice.
"Ahem, Sakura-ori."
The little girl's pretty face suddenly became serious, and she looked at Young Master Liu with a look of confusion.
"Sir, what can I do for you?"
"Yingzhi, sir, I have something serious to talk to your mother about. You should go out and play for a while first."
When the little girl heard Young Master Liu's words, she did not immediately run out of the pavilion with excitement on her face, but looked at her mother pretending to be unhappy.
"Sir, is this something particularly important? Yingzhi hasn't seen you for a long time, and I still want to chat with you for a while!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the little girl pretending to be reluctant to leave, and thought to himself, she is really a quirky little girl.
Liu Mingzhi knew in his heart that the reason why Hua Qiyingzhi said this was to dispel his mother's doubts.
Liu Mingzhi nodded calmly and continued to act with the little girl.
"Of course it's important. You're not suitable here. Go play first."
"Oh well."
The little girl replied glumly, then turned to look at her mother sitting next to her.
"Mother?"
Sakai Hoshino didn't know whether he really didn't see it or pretended not to see the trick between Liu Dashao and the two.
Under the little girl's embarrassed and nervous gaze, she nodded with a smile.
"Since your husband wants to talk to my mother about business, you should go out and play for a while first."
"Hey, Sakurazhi knows."
The little girl suppressed the excitement in her heart, stood up and bowed to Liu and Young Master.
"Mr. Liu, mother, you can talk about business. Sakurazhi will leave first."
"Well, go ahead."
Liu Mingzhi and Liu Mingzhi replied in unison, and then the little girl walked slowly and slowly towards the outside of the pavilion.
After the little girl disappeared into the courtyard, Sakai Hoshino looked at Young Master Liu with charming eyes and rolled his eyes silently.
"Liu Jun, just help her.
Ever since this stinky girl got you as her backer, she has become more and more disobedient.
If this continues, how will Hoshino discipline her in the future? "
Liu Mingzhi heard the beautiful woman's feigned coquettish tone and knew that the beautiful woman had figured out the trick between him and the little girl.
Smiling and stuffing the orange in his hand into his mouth, Liu Mingzhi frowned angrily.
"Hoshino."
"Well, Hoshino, listen, you can start making up.
Hoshino would like to see, Mr. Liu, how you weave the black into white. "
Liu Mingzhi looked at Sakai Hoshino's expression asking him to start his performance. He smiled bitterly and shook his head, and his expression became serious.
"Hoshino, I don't deny that I helped Sakurazhi go out to play.
However, there are some things I said that are not nonsense, that is, I really have something serious to talk to you about.
I want to talk to you about this matter, and it's really inappropriate for Sakurazhi to be around.
This is why I agreed to help her be lazy. "
Seeing Liu Mingzhi's serious expression, the beauty stopped pretending to be coquettish, and her pretty face became serious.
"Mr. Liu, do you really have something serious to do with Hoshino?"
Liu Mingzhi sighed helplessly, raised his finger and pointed at his serious face.
"What? Do I look like I'm watching a joke?
Of course it's really something serious. "
Sakai Hoshino smiled apologetically and hurriedly waved his hands at Young Master Liu.
"Mr. Liu, I'm really sorry, Hoshino misunderstood you.
You were flirting with that stinky girl Sakurazhi just now, and Hoshino thought you were teasing me again.
Hoshino knows he is wrong, Mr. Liu, please tell me. "
Liu Mingzhi slapped his palms a few times, stood up, walked to the steps of the pavilion, and stopped.
"Is the reward of soldiers and equipment a serious matter?"
When the beauty heard that Liu Mingzhi took the initiative to mention the reward of soldiers and equipment to her, the look on her pretty face suddenly became excited.
She suddenly stood up from the stone bench and walked to Young Master Liu. She reached out and grabbed Young Master Liu's sleeves with both hands.
"Mr. Liu, is there any result on the military preparations?"
Liu Mingzhi turned to look at the excited expression on the beauty's pretty face, fearing that she would faint before she could take a breath.
"Don't get excited, don't get excited, calm down and let's talk slowly."
Only then did Sakai Hoshino realize that his reaction was too intense. With a pretty face, he let go of Mr. Liu's sleeves with some embarrassment, and raised his hand to caress his peaked chest a few times.
"Huh - Mr. Liu, I made you laugh, Hoshino lost his composure."
Liu Mingzhi waved his hand nonchalantly, stretched out his hand and pinched the beauty's white and tender cheeks a few times.
"Silly, is there something wrong between the two of us? I'm worried that you'll be too excited and faint again if you can't hold a breath."
Sakai Hoshino hurriedly turned his head to observe the situation in the small courtyard. After seeing that no outsiders were present, he reached out and hugged Mr. Liu's arm and shook it gently a few times.
"Liu-kun, you are so kind to Hoshino."
"As you said, although we are not a real couple, we have already become a couple.
Hoshino, you are already my woman, Liu Mingzhi. As your man, if I don’t treat you well, who should I treat well? "
When Sakai Hoshino heard the sweet words Liu Mingzhi said to him, he looked at his face with tender eyes.
After staring at Liu Mingzhi intently for a moment, the beauty let go of the pair of lotus-rooted arms holding his arms, turned around and walked to the pavilion to hug up the two pieces of silk.
"Hoshino, what are you doing?"
Sakai Hoshino smiled, stretched out his right hand and took Mr. Liu's wrist and walked straight towards his boudoir.
After Liu Mingzhi entered the room, Sakai Hoshino took the initiative to close the door, walked to the table and put the cloth in his hand on the table.
Then, like a baby swallow returning to its nest, she threw her delicate body into Liu Mingzhi's arms.
"Liu Jun, thank you."
Liu Mingzhi looked down at the beautiful woman in his arms looking at him with a moved expression. He gently hugged the beautiful woman's waist, resting his chin on her coiled black hair and gently stroking it.
"Thank you, you're out with me again, aren't you?"
"Mr. Liu, this thank you is not an expression of gratitude, but a word from Hoshino's heart.
Thank you for allowing Hoshino to fulfill his youth--
The first unrealistic dream.
Hoshino thought that he would never have the chance to hear Mr. Liu say such words to Hoshino in this life.
You made Hoshino understand that Liu-kun, you like more than just Hoshino's body.
But he likes me as a person.
Hearing your words, Hoshino gave his body to you.
There will be no regrets in my heart, and I will never feel any regrets. "
Liu Mingzhi felt a flash of guilt in his eyes as he listened to the beauty's sincere words.
Even now he has true feelings for the woman in his arms.
However, one thing I couldn't deny was that at the beginning, I had no feelings for Sakai Hoshino.
Some thoughts are just about lusting after her body.
At that time, I never thought about being responsible.
But as I got along with this silly woman more and more, I spent more time with her.
I don't know when, but unconsciously, I was attracted by her extremely simple nature.
Now he is really reluctant to let her leave him and leave the capital to return to Japan.
Liu Mingzhi smelled the faint fragrance of the beautiful lady's sweat mixed with the scent of flowers, and put his arms around the beautiful lady Liu's waist a little harder again.
"Xingye, I not only want to be good to you. As long as you stay by my side, I will be good to you forever.
I will pamper you and protect you forever.
I will treat you the same way I treat Yun'er and the other sisters, and I will never treat you favorably. "
Between the lines of Liu Mingzhi's words, he had clearly expressed his intention to retain her.
The beauty's delicate body trembled slightly, she raised her head and glanced at Liu Mingzhi's sincere eyes, bit her lips lightly and lowered her head.
"Liu Jun, I...I..."
"Hoshino, if it were ten or twenty years ago, I would definitely have said a lot of sweet words to you.
However, now I am in my early forties and you are in your thirties.
At our age, no matter how many sweet words of love we say, we still can’t find the feeling we had when we were in love for the first time.
Living a down-to-earth and happy life is better than anything else.
Your deceased husband has been killed in battle for many years, what will you do if you return to Japan?
Is it different or living alone and alone?
Yingzhi can still accompany you now, but what happens when he leaves the court and gets married?
Don't leave, stay with me in Dalong, okay? "
“Jun Liu, it’s sudden.
I don’t know how to answer you for a moment. Can you let me think about it again? "
"Okay, I won't force you. I hope you can think about it carefully."
"Well, Hoshino knows.
Then let’s continue talking about military preparations. "
Liu Mingzhi breathed out, took the beauty's wrist and walked to the table a few steps away, and sat down on the chair.
