Huang Yueying's heart skipped a beat as she opened her mouth to retort, but his tongue, carrying a faint scent of tea, had already surged in, urgently yet gently entwining with her own.
In that moment, a thunderous sound echoed in her mind, and she felt a fire rising within her veins, spreading toward her heart—warm yet painful.
Strange yet familiar, in a daze, she vaguely saw a red nine-tailed fox flash through her thoughts...
"Your Majesty, would you dare let me kiss you? Just once, do you dare?"
"Your Majesty, it turns out you taste a hundred times better than Azure Carp. I truly want to swallow you whole!"
"Your Majesty..."
In the twelfth year of Jian'an, snowflakes as big as goose feathers fell in abundance, blanketing the world in white.
Liu Bei, accompanied by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, arrived at Thatched Hut for the third time and finally got to meet Zhuge Liang.
Huang Yueying stood by the window, watching the snowy scene outside and glancing at Liu Bei and his companions patiently waiting in the snow. Her heart was filled with reluctance.
She gracefully stepped over and approached Zhuge Liang, whispering, "Sir, uncle Liu has been waiting outside for so long; you should meet him."
"A Chou, do you really want me to see him?" Zhuge Liang slowly set down the Six Strategies he had been reading. Since Liu Bei was just outside, they deliberately lowered their voices, but Huang Yueying still keenly detected a hint of irritation in his words.
"Sir, you are exceptionally talented and knowledgeable. uncle Liu has visited Thatched Cottage three times seeking talent. Have you spent all these years learning from your master just to outshine me, a mere woman?"
Huang Yueying spoke as she gracefully rose to fetch the stored snow water to brew tea for him. "You travel thousands of miles, yet your heart is with one person. I, A Chou, have been favored by you for many years and wish to accompany you out of the mountains to share in this noble cause!"
Zhuge Liang set down the book in his hands and slowly raised his head, his gaze following Huang Yueying's every movement, filled with tenderness and care.
He softly said, "Do you know that once we leave the mountains this time, we may never have the chance to return? Your father has always regarded you as his precious jewel, and you once said that your greatest joy is to cultivate and weave here in these mountains, living this peaceful life..."
Huang Yueying gently shook her head, a charming smile blooming on her face. "Sir, may I ask which woman in the world does not wish for her husband to achieve greatness?"
Zhuge Liang fixed his gaze on her, deep and focused. After a long moment, reassured by the bright encouragement in her eyes that held no hesitation, he stood up and walked to her, gently taking her hand and unwilling to let go for a long time. He affectionately called out, "A Chou."
He understood well that her support was solely for the unquenchable ambitions that had always burned within him.
Huang Yueying smiled as she watched him stride confidently out.
He moved with flowing robes and a tall posture toward Liu Bei.
Standing before Liu Bei, with the map of Xi Chuan behind him, dressed in a snow-white robe and radiating a clear light from his eyes, he captivated Huang Yueying completely.
This man, tempered by twenty-six years of storms and refined by time into a figure of quiet resilience like moonlight, exuded an aura of heroism as he knelt down.
"Liang is willing to serve like a loyal dog or horse!" Zhuge Liang earnestly prostrated himself before Liu Bei, his heart swelling with fervor.
Huang Yueying hid behind the curtain, tears glimmering in her eyes. She had indeed guessed correctly.
His eloquence was filled with the ambition to conquer the world; his arrogance and pride, along with his extraordinary intellect, were evident. When he heard that uncle Liu had missed the chance to meet Thatched Hut on two occasions, a hint of disappointment and melancholy flickered in his eyes. She observed all of this, storing it deep within her heart.
She understood that from this moment on, the man who had promised her a lifetime was no longer solely her Huang Yueying's husband.
An unprecedented sadness welled up within her, a bittersweet ache that felt strangely familiar, as if she had anticipated it all along.
Perhaps, despite having accepted him over the years, her heart remained as clear as a mirror.
In the end, it mattered not the affairs of love; she would still have to learn to live alone.
