36 (Seeking further reading) The empress disguises herself! Adorable Lin Mo'er with youthful appearance!

At dawn.
The convoy from the Shangshu Mansion, starting from the south gate of the imperial capital, follows the official road and heads towards Jinling. Translated content:
车轿内。
姜离怔怔的看着面前的岳母大人。
待见她梳着一贯的贵妇发髻，发梢以金步摇点缀，一袭裁剪得当的齐胸襦裙，尽显成熟韵味的身段。
此刻，她两条丰腴长腿，优雅的翘着，没有着鞋袜，一双灵巧秀美的雪白果足一览无余。
“孩子，看你很是擅长针灸之术，岳母我近来偶感风寒，腿脚发凉，时常昏昏欲睡，不知.......
白嫣儿一脸慈爱的看着眼前的少年，见后者拘谨，当即探出皮肤细腻，保养极好的雪白玉手，将之一把拽了过来。
"Madam Yue, this..."
I don't know why.
Although knowing that the other person is an elder, there is a strange stir in Jiang Li's heart.
Married woman, outdoor, in the car, mother-in-law......
A series of absurd labels emerged in his mind.
Finally, under the gentle and benevolent gaze of the other party, Jiang Li composed himself and said, "Reporting to the respected mother-in-law, although your son-in-law is adept at acupuncture with golden needles, if I were to directly treat you with needles, I'm afraid......."
“无妨，这里又没有旁人。”
白嫣儿笑了笑，将垂下来的一缕鬓发，“咱们越国人，可不讲周人那么多的繁文缛节。”
"Moreover, there is a generation gap between you and me. What other unnecessary concerns can there be between a man and a woman? All I ask is to have a clear conscience."
The voice of my mother-in-law was gentle and sweet, resembling the charm of a beautiful woman from the southern water towns.
If......
Jiang Li accidentally glanced at the smooth and fair legs, murmuring softly.
"Huh? What did the Crown Prince say?" It seemed like she didn't hear clearly, and Bai Yaner slightly frowned.
“N-no, it's nothing.”
姜离平心静气，正色道：“也罢，既然岳母大人如此说了，小婿便恭敬不如从命了！”
说着，一只手从袖口暗藏的针盒内，取出太乙神针，另一只手，将岳母大人的雪白足尖轻轻托起，确认了对方的关键穴位之后，温柔的插了进去。
.......
.......
却说姜离难得的专心致志，使出自创「七星引针法」一番诊治之后.......
面前的岳母大人气色，立时好上了许多。
“啊......
“已经够了！”
Bai Yan'er blushed, pouted her slightly pursed vermilion lips, and rolled her eyes, with a somewhat bewildered look in her beautiful gaze.
“怎么？是小婿下针下重，弄疼您了么？”
Jiang Li hurriedly stopped and looked at the other person.
"Ah?"
Bai Yan'er first nodded, and then shook her head with a shy expression, "N-no, on the contrary, it's the husband's impressive acupuncture technique that has made me..."
她闭上眼睛，将头撇到一边，还是吐出了三个字：“太舒服了。”
“嗯，足底皮膜较薄，穴位又较密集，因而自然比其他部位敏感一些。”
论及自己的专业技能，姜离却是一本正经的道：“我方才已为岳母大人，走了一套针位，祛除了大部分寒气，您往后几日注意多保暖，这寒腿病根，定当痊愈，永不再犯。”
"However, speaking of which, you......
He wanted to ask more, but ultimately swallowed back his words.
原来，就在他刚刚为对方施针的时候，清晰的感应到，对方的经脉间，竟是有着一股阴寒无比的真气流动！
That is to say.....
In the eyes of outsiders, the gentle and virtuous Lin family matriarch—
is actually a top-notch expert in practicing dark martial arts!
In terms of inner strength alone, her quality is not inferior to that of a grandmaster!
“真没想到，这林家还有跟我一样，隐藏得如此之深的人。”
“只怕林思妍做梦都想不到，自己家里，藏着两个不逊色于自己的武道宗师吧？”
姜离越想越是觉得趣味。
不过，这位岳母大人既然选择隐瞒，若非必要情况，他自然也永远不会拆穿。
“多谢贤婿，为我医治好了这多年的老毛病！”
白嫣儿再次亲昵的探出手，轻抚了少年的发髻，而后话锋一转道：“世人皆知，老越人「有债必偿」！”
贤婿此番为我消除了病痛，身为长辈，自然是该奖励你一些什么。”
Bai Yaner smiled and said, at the same time, she pulled her plump and snowy white leg back from the young man's hand, crossed her legs elegantly, and raised them slightly.
"Reward?"
姜离看着近在咫尺的美人玉足，忽然想到了什么不得了的事情。
“还是算了吧.......
他心中正摇着头，忽然，眼前一道金色光炎掠过！
他心中一惊，下意识的朝后面一闪。
待见白嫣儿双手捧着一柄通体赤红，剑身仿佛流转火焰的奇异宝剑，递到了他的面前。
“这是.......
“这是贤婿昨日来我书斋时，第一眼看中的物事——越国镇国八剑之一，掩日剑！”
白嫣儿一改方才的温柔，脸色变得严肃：“贤婿乃当今越王嫡长子，下一代越君继承人，这柄剑，理应属你所有。”
“也罢，既然如此，那小婿多谢岳母大义。”
虽说感觉这位岳母今日是有备而来，但神剑当前，姜离也难得假客套了，双手郑重接过了长剑。
事实上，自从他获得《天道罚恶薄》，神功大成之后，心中便酝酿了两個宏大的计划。
帮助老爹在一年后的诸侯会盟上称霸，乃是第一件！
而第二件......
便是凑齐越国八剑，继续当年先祖姜邪的未竟之业！
重铸越国荣光，我辈义不容辞！
寻找八剑支线任务（2/8）！
Buzz---
Just as Jiang Li was tightly gripping the hilt of the sword and playing with it,
within the system's storage space, that Tianying Divine Sword seemed to sense a certain call and issued a clear ring.
.......
.......
In order to avoid the awkwardness of being in the same room with the mother-in-law,
while passing by a rest stop during the journey,
Jiang Li casually found an excuse to change to the carriage of her second sister-in-law, Qianxi.
让他有些奇怪的是。
对于他这个举动，车队前方领路的夫人林思妍，似乎颇有微词。
要知道，以往他跟林倩兮亲密相处，这林思妍从不多加阻拦，反倒会露出欣慰之色啊！
However, at this critical moment, Jiang Li couldn't be bothered with that.
要知道，回了金陵城，接下来便是筹办女帝交代的灯宴！
And the premonition in his heart was growing stronger and stronger.
He always felt that this Lantern Festival, Xiao Jinni, this woman, is up to something.
Something big!
.......
After lying in the arms of his second sister-in-law Qianxi for two hours, he fell asleep.
车队总算是抵达了金陵林家祖宅。
"Finally back."
"Before going to the capital, I taught Yunshang some basic martial arts and techniques of the Han family. I wonder how she has been practicing. This girl has great potential and will surely achieve as much as her grandfather."
姜离心里念叨着，走下车轿。
正准备假装回房歇息，等到夜深之后，再去千金阁会一会那位红粉知己，却不料，刚溜进自己房间，便被一道清冷的女声喊住：
“世子，我.......
"Ah?"
姜离微微一愣，看向远处一袭麒麟官衣的冰山美人，“林大人，有什么话，就在这说吧。”
“你跟倩兮.........
Linsiyao's cheeks flushed, and she couldn't help but speak out, "Doesn't the Crown Prince feel..."
“不觉得啊。”
姜离道：“我跟倩兮从小到大，不一直关系挺亲近的么？”
“不一样了！”
林思妍咬了咬唇，脸颊更红了，“眼下你们已经长大成人！男女有别！你又是我的夫君，林家的大姑爷！更是需要时刻注意，与倩兮的距离！”
“不是吧！林大人，伱这是......
姜离笑了笑，戏谑的看着对方。
“吃.......
林倩兮咀嚼着这两个字，脸颊上的红晕，“唰”的一下，红至耳根，修长窈窕的身子，也不由得被震退几步！
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
我林思妍，堂堂神捕司金衣总捕，怎会像小女人般，为一个男人吃醋！
吃醋的对象还是自己的.......
Instantly, the Goddess of Great Zhou, felt her brain explode with a "buzz", and all the sermon lines she had prepared on the way were thrown out of her mind!
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince! In any case, there is one thing you need to know!"
蓦地，她抬起头，一双明艳美眸，颇有些幽怨的看着眼前嬉皮笑脸，占尽上风的少年郎，“你我乃是结发夫妻，这已是不可更改的事实！因此，我真心希望你......
"Pay attention to your reputation and maintain a distance from other women!"
“差不多得了，林大人，你仔细想想，你我成婚多年，最多也就牵牵手的程度，你凭什么要求我守身如玉？”
“行了，还是说正事吧。”
“筹备灯宴的事情，就交给林大人你了啊，你是了解我的，这些人情世故的东西，本世子是一窍不通。”
说完，姜离耸了耸肩，潇洒而去，尽显纨绔世子风范。
“他说得倒有几分道理.......
“是啊.......
As she watched the young man walk away, Lin Siyan clenched her fists, feeling more conflicted than ever before in her heart.
She really didn't know what was wrong with her.
All she knew was that during the journey back to Jinling, when she saw this famous but unreal husband of hers, laughing and joking with her sister Qianxi, she felt a profound emptiness inside.
仿佛那明明应该是三个人的场景，而她却不配有姓名。
“说起来，倩兮也真是的.......
“姜离自小在越王宫娇生惯养，不懂事也就罢了，你这个平日里知书达理的姑娘，你也不晓事么？他可是.......
"I'm so angry!"
“也罢，上元节在即，沫儿也快回来了，她与倩兮自小关系甚好，由她来劝说倩兮，远离姜离，自然再好不过了。”
想到总算还有一个听自己话的妹妹，林思妍朱唇上抿，心情总算有所慰藉。
.......
.......
“呼，总算摆脱这女人了。”
“金窝银窝不如自己的狗窝啊。”
姜离满是惬意的回到自己的房间。
人在大周为质十年。
也只有待在自己房间时，他内心才真正的感觉到安稳。
Whoosh—
他立起马步，长长吐纳，双臂猿展，宛如巨啸的滚滚气浪，自周身散逸而出！
这是他每次进入房间的第一个步骤。
虽说林思妍保证女帝不会再犯贱的派出间谍，窥探他的日常起居。
但他不怎么信。
要知道，当初萧锦柠翻脸不认帐，退起婚来，也是毫不含糊的啊。
Finally.
在使用《太古鲸息功》探测了一番，确认周围没有异样后。
他这才缓缓从系统储物空间，取出一方约莫三人宽，冰晶玉洁的冰床，睡了上去。
正是先前处决南宫胜男时，系统奖励的「千年寒玉床」。
At this moment, lying on this soft and warm bed, Jiang Li felt even more comfortable in his heart. He could feel the flow of true energy throughout his body, which seemed smoother and more pleasant than before.
"It's so comfortable, isn't it more exciting than the waterbed in the romantic hotel in my previous life?"
姜离目光微斜，认真打量了一番寒玉床的规模。
这一刻，他只觉得，睡在这上面的，应该是一群人.......
一群绝世美人。
The scene was filled with tranquility.
Suddenly, he sensed a joyous and lively footstep.
The footstep, bouncing and jumping, crossed the side courtyard and went straight through the corridor to reach his small residence by the North Garden Lake.
“我的房间，历来不敢有下人，贸然进来打扰，即便是倩兮，都会远远的待在十步开外，等待通传。”
“所以，这个脚步是........
姜离猛然惊起。
下意识的将寒玉床收好之后。
In the next moment.
Squeak—
伴随着一道少女特有的甜笑声，房门被一股大力推开！
“呐！姐夫！！！！”
“你最最可爱乖巧的沫儿妹妹回来啦！”
林沫儿美眸闪闪，笑颜如花，那扎起的双马尾，随风飘扬，青春感十足！
暌违四年，今日相聚。
In this moment.
少男、少女隔着打开的房门，四目相对，彼此嘴角含笑，却并不说话。
屋外，北苑的风景，春色盎然，一片诗情画意。
屋内，温润酥软的过堂风，轻抚两人的脸颊。
整个画面尽显唯美。
足足三秒过后。
没待姜离反应过来。
那位将笄之年，已然初长成的林家三小姐，已然一个蹦蹦，跳入了他的怀中，纤细修长的双腿，毫无顾忌的夹住了她的腰身！
也是这个时候。
由于自己扶着少女的臀部，视线刚好对准对方的胸口。
姜离这才发现了什么。
这个前世怎么说得来着？
童颜巨.......
“沫儿，你长大了，也......
他不由得发自内心的感慨道。
.......
.......
At the same time.
正打算前往母亲房间，商量接下来筹办灯宴事宜的林思妍，接到了一个震撼的消息。
那位身份尊贵，高高在上的闺蜜.......
她终究是按耐不住，提前三日到了金陵！
并且还是以微服私访的形式，命令她不许声张！
“陛下她——”
“这是迫不及待想要试探姜离啊。”
林思妍心中一沉，只觉得事情并不简单了。
