Chapter 191 191 Passionate Moments
At 1:15 AM, Ye Pianran opened her eyes from her dream. She threw off the covers and quietly sat up.
The room was unlit, yet bathed in silvery moonlight. By its glow, Ye Pianran skillfully changed into her fitted attire and styled her long hair into a bun at the back of her head, much like a man. As she did so, the Lingyuan Vine on her wrist coiled around her bun like a nimble little snake.
Although she woke up in the middle of the night, Ye Pianran showed no signs of sleepiness on her face or in her eyes. She was full of energy and looked dashing. The blue light that occasionally flashed in her hair made her look even more graceful and charming.
Having prepared everything, Ye Pianran picked up the sleeping Ye Yankang, opened the door, and went out. Ye Lingyue was already waiting outside. Seeing the two of them come out, she nodded and then led Ye Pianran and Ye Yankang, as usual, quietly heading towards Xiling Mountain outside the city.
Today they set off almost an hour earlier than usual. This time is the perfect time for everyone in the capital to sleep soundly and dream, but in order to better comprehend the "Tai Su Ling Zhen" mental technique and become stronger, Ye Pianran gave up sleep and resolutely chose another, more difficult path.
Arriving at Canglan Pavilion at the foot of Xiling Mountain by carriage, Chunyu Yang was already waiting there as usual. Jingxuan seemed unaccustomed to getting up so early, tightly gripping his sleeve and leaning against him, nodding his little head like a chick pecking at rice.
Looking down at Ye Yankang, who had been groggily shaken awake, Ye Pianran felt a pang of guilt.
"It's all because of me that they both had to get up so early."
Chunyu Yang said, "It's alright, they'll get used to it after a few more days."
They had trained for countless days at the foot of Xiling Mountain, and some things had become instinctive. Although the two children's eyelids were still drooping and they couldn't help but feel sleepy, as soon as Chunyu Yang gave the order, they immediately got into the zone and started running around the foot of Xiling Mountain.
The dark mountain forest was filled with the cheerful chirping of insects, and the moonlight was as bright as silk. The mountain breeze was blowing, so there was no sense of the unknown or fear, but rather a sense of comfort.
"Kang Kang, come and chase me! If you can catch me, I'll grant you one request!"
"Chase! Chase!"
As Jingxuan ran ahead, he suddenly started playing around with Ye Yankang. Upon hearing this, Ye Pianran smiled and unconsciously slowed down.
Chunyu Yang also slowed his pace and asked, "Tired?"
Ye Pianran shook her head and gave him a smile: "Not tired."
"We only have two more laps before we can rest. Let's keep going a little longer," Chunyu Yang said.
By the moonlight, Ye Pianran saw that his forehead was wet, and a drop of water was sliding down from it. For some reason, as if she were bewitched, she involuntarily stood on tiptoe and used her sleeve to wipe away the drop of water that was about to fall into his eye.
When she came to her senses and realized what she had done, the two of them had unknowingly stopped in their tracks. Chunyu Yang was touched by her actions, lowered his head, and gazed deeply into her eyes.
In that instant, Ye Pianran felt her heart pounding wildly, like a restless deer. She hurriedly turned her face away, pretending to be nonchalant as she continued running forward, unaware that the Lingyuan Vine behind her head was swinging its tendrils high, swaying joyfully towards Chunyu Yang.
Chunyu Yang found it amusing and quietly followed after her, landing at a distance just behind her.
"We will be setting off for the autumn hunt in Xingzhou in half a month. I have already persuaded my mother to find a way to accompany my father. At that time, you will be able to cure her of the poison."
Although it was a promise they had made long ago that he would detoxify his mother, she felt a strange sense of fear when she recalled their actions just now.
It's like... like an ugly daughter-in-law meeting her in-laws.
Startled by her own thought, Ye Pianran awkwardly tried to change the subject.
"Speaking of autumn hunting, I still haven't learned how to ride a horse."
“If you want to learn to ride a horse, the grassland is the most suitable place,” Chunyu Yang said. “The grassland is boundless, without jagged rocks or crowded people. You can ride wildly without any obstacles, as if the world has no end. This is what it means to gallop.”
Just listening to him talk about it, Ye Pianran could already imagine that scene, and she couldn't help but yearn for it.
“Xingzhou is half grassland and half forest. It’s a crucial place connecting the north and the south, and its wealth is beyond your imagination. My mount, Chiyan, comes from a grassland tribe in Xingzhou. When we get there, I will also choose a fine steed for you. From now on, you can go wherever you want and will never be bound again,” Chunyu Yang said.
Ye Pianran's face flushed, and she said softly, "Then Tang Li will thank the Third Prince in advance."
"Can you shoot arrows?" Chunyu Yang suddenly asked.
Ye Pianran was taken aback for a moment, then said, "No."
"It seems I'll have to teach you archery before you learn to ride a horse." Chunyu Yang's voice was exceptionally deep, like a struck bronze cauldron, echoing endlessly in Ye Pianran's ears.
"Why...learn archery?" Ye Pianran felt her heart pounding again. She clenched her hands in frustration and asked, biting her lip.
"You don't mean you've been planning to stay in the tent ever since you arrived in Xingzhou, do you?" Chunyu Yang chuckled and gently ruffled her hair. "I don't believe that someone with your personality could stay inside like that."
His warm, large hand landed on her head, and Ye Pianran felt as if an electric current was flowing from his palm, making her scalp tingle and her mind unsteady.
Ye Pianran heard her own voice sound somewhat unsteady: "Then...when do we begin learning?"
“Let’s begin today,” Chunyu Yang said. “I’ve brought the bow and arrows; they’re hanging on the horse.”
So he had planned this all along? Ye Pianran turned around and glared at him angrily, but little did she know that because she was so flustered, there was no anger in her gaze. Instead, it was full of girlish shyness and passion, as if she had crushed the radiance of the sky, making it as bright and dazzling as the most precious pearl, with a captivating beauty.
Chunyu Yang's breath hitched, and his eyes darkened. Even he himself didn't know how deep the longing was hidden in his gaze as he looked at her.
"Tangli," he called out.
Ye Pianran dared not turn around again, and could only reply dryly, "What are your orders, Third Prince?"
"After we arrive in Xingzhou and cure my mother of the poison, I have something very important to tell you."
Her heart skipped a few beats again. Ye Pianran vaguely sensed that he wanted to say something, but she was afraid that she was just imagining things. She could only hold onto her already fallen heart tightly.
"Hmm..." she responded softly, "We'll talk about it later."
