MTL - Sweet Beauty-Chapter 21 grounding
Liu Zhao was wearing a Ru skirt when he went out, and there were a few dusty spots on the hem of the skirt. She was in a hurry, as if she had just returned from outside the palace. Seeing the appearance of being caught, she should have slipped out without telling everyone.
Before anyone else could speak, she had already taken the lead and shouted, "Don't call my uncle, I don't recognize you as a sister-in-law!"
A Shu was robbed by her for a while, and looked around subconsciously. At this moment, there is neither Mrs. Fan nor Liu Ruo around, I am afraid that no one can control this little ancestor. She had to pretend to stare at Liu Zhao seriously, ignoring the disrespect in her words, took the posture of her sister-in-law, straightened her back with effort, nodded to her, and was about to leave.
Liu Zhao raised his skirt and stomped his feet hatefully, as if he was annoyed that Shu was not annoyed by himself, so he rushed forward and blocked the road unwillingly: "Don't be complacent, in a few days, Brother will definitely leave you!"
After all, she snorted coldly as if in a demonstration, and waited triumphantly to see the joke.
Ah Shu looked at the little girl who was only as high as her chin, her eyes were stubborn and perverse, and even the bun that was combed behind her head seemed to be very unsmooth, with a few strands of sparse hair leaking out, clearly showing a beautiful face. Piansheng was spoiled by this expression.
She didn't know what Liu Zhao meant by what she said. Her intuition should be that she heard some rumors outside and took it home to respond to her.
It's just that Liu Zhao shouldn't be so unreasonable and unreasonable again and again. It should be known that her sister-in-law is not so easy to bully.
"Uncle, it's getting late, go back quickly, don't let the king know that you stole from the Xin Palace." She was sure that Liu Zhao's departure from the palace must be hidden from Liu Ruo, and she was unwilling to teach him about it.
"You—you dare!" Sure enough, Liu Zhao's complexion changed immediately, and his guilty conscience could not be concealed. She gritted her teeth and glared at Ah Shu again, and then looked around carefully, seeing no one else, she left in a hurry.
Que'er looked at the back of Liu Zhaocang's panic and felt very relieved: "Sister Wang really deserves some lessons before she knows what it means to be an elder."
Ah Shu shook her head: "I'm just frightening her, if it really starts, the king can't decide who to help." She has a self-awareness, an unpleasant wife, and a sweet-hearted sister, which is more important in Liu Xiu's heart?
However, she paid attention to what Liu Zhao said just now. After thinking about it for a moment after returning to the house, she secretly dispatched several Zhao family servants from Handan to pay attention to the rumors in the city these days.
Liu Yu had heard about Liu Zhao's departure from the palace from somewhere else.
In the evening, it was rare for him to return early, but his face was unpleasant, so he entered the house. Before speaking to Ah Shu, he first found two healthy women to bring Liu Zhao, and immediately asked coldly, "A Zhao, today What did you do wrong, do you remember?"
Liu Zhao had already replaced the dirty Confucian skirt he was wearing. Hearing his brother's words, he subconsciously trembled, twisted the skirt, bowed his head and said with a guilty conscience, "No-I didn't do anything today..."
Liu Yu rubbed his brows helplessly. Rao was his usual good temper. At this moment, he could no longer tolerate it, so he put down the anger in his chest, sat back on the couch, and stroked his forehead: "Thank you for entering the mansion today, a thief broke in, and the horses in the backyard The shed was destroyed, horses ran out in shock, and several servants were kicked and injured."
Today, if Guo Qu did not handle it properly, he found someone to blame, and took the initiative to repair Xie Jin, and filled a lot of benefits, I am afraid that Xie Jin would be the first to get along with him, King Xiao.
A Shu was taken aback and quickly looked at Liu Zhao. Just now she only said that she sneaked out of the palace, but she was young and playful, how could such a thing happen? Xie Jin is now a military supervisor, and in this capital of letters, he is the eyes and ears from Chang'an. If he is easy to provoke at this time, wouldn't it bring misfortune to Liu Yutu?
A moment of triumph flashed in Liu Zhao's eyes, and he muttered in a low voice, "Deserving it!" In a twinkling of an eye, he slumped again, knowing that his brother knew about the trouble he had caused, so he approached carefully, looked at his brother, and said coquettishly, "Brother, I You're wrong, I—I really hate him, he hurt his eldest brother like that before!"
When she spoke, tears could not help oozing out, and her nasal voice became thicker. She was less surly and more eloquent, which made people feel sad.
Liu Yu sighed and said helplessly: "Azhao, I know that you are thinking about your eldest brother and want to take revenge for him, but you are still young and don't understand how powerful it is. You are not only not hurting others in the slightest by acting like this, but on the contrary. Putting ourselves in a dangerous situation."
Liu Zhao looked at Liu Yu, who was serious and sincere, and his eyes loosened for a moment. However, as his eyes rolled around, he suddenly caught a glimpse of A Shu who was still standing beside him.
She seemed to recall a lot of past events, and tears gathered in her eyes that were similar to Liu Yu's: "Brother, why are you so weak? If you were the eldest brother, you wouldn't be so aggrieved at this moment! If you weren't so weak, he would be so weak. Maybe...it won't be so tragic at all!"
After all, she covered her face with her sleeves and hurried out. Before leaving, when he passed by the dumbfounded Ah Shu, he still glared at him full of jealousy, as if he had decided that it was Ah Shu who was talking too much and stabbed in front of Liu Xiu.
The sky was getting dark, and the candles had not yet been lit in the house. In the dim twilight, Liu Xiu sat on the couch without saying a word. .
Being accused by his own sister like this made him feel very uncomfortable.
Ashu recalled in a trance half a year ago that she, who had been in tit-for-tat with her elder brother, was also so unreasonable and could not listen to any persuasion.
At that time, Brother A was probably like Liu Yu, sitting alone, lonely and unhappy.
There was a lot of sympathy in her heart, she stared for a moment, did not light the lamp, just approached quietly, sat down beside him, hesitantly stretched out a hand and gently placed it on the back of his hand.
The warm touch made Liu Xiu move slightly. After a long while, he raised his head dejectedly, looked at the twilight outside the house, and said in a very low voice: "The death of my eldest brother, I feel more pain than anyone else."
At this time, where does he still have the perfect demeanor to talk and laugh freely and win thousands of miles?
The tip of Ah Shu's nose suddenly turned sour, and she blinked away the two hazy eyes in front of her. She didn't know how to comfort him, so she just spit out "I'm sorry."
Liu Xiu laughed at himself, shook his head and said, "I only hate myself."
The two were silent for a long time, until the room was completely shrouded in darkness.
The maid waiting outside the house hesitated to enter, lit the candlestick one by one, glanced at the hands of the two, and then exited obediently.
The room lit up again, and A Shu realized later that Liu Xiu had wrapped her hand firmly in his palm, and the warmth in the big palm was slowly penetrating her skin.
At this moment, Liu Xiu's eyes have also regained clarity. Following her gaze, she looked at the clasped hands together, and she couldn't help but be stunned.
On the wedding day, he also held her hand, but he didn't notice it at the time. Now he realizes that her hand was so small and soft, her slender fingers curled slightly, and the light and delicate fingertips lightly pressed against his palm. It made his palms extremely warm.
This burst of dry heat spread from his palm almost instantly, gradually reaching his heart, lower abdomen, and even the roots of his ears were a little red.
The melancholy and sad mood just now disappeared, and he was afraid of being found out, so he could only cough twice as if nothing had happened, pretending to take back his hand inadvertently.
He didn't want to turn his head to look at her, his eyes moved around, and in the end he didn't take off his robe and went straight to the bathroom.
…
In the early morning of the second day, before leaving, Liu Xiu thought about it again and again, and finally sent seven or eight women to follow Liu Zhao every day, and she was not allowed to travel without permission.
Liu Zhao was naturally reluctant, and Mrs. Xunfan cried for a while: "Sister-in-law, brother...why does he treat me so harshly now? It really makes me sad..."
Mrs. Fan's face was pale, and she seemed to have been exhausted by her persistent complaints, but she leaned on the pillow and shook her head: "Who asked you to cause such a disaster? Zhong Yuan will naturally punish you."
After that, her eyes were full of worry, like a concerned admonition: "Azhao, now that my sister-in-law is in this house, I'm afraid it's hard to say anything. Zhong Yuan is already King Xiao, and in this huge letter palace, Zhao Ji is the serious one. Queen, you should always restrain yourself and get closer to her, so that you can have a safe place to live in the future."
Liu Zhao was stunned for a while, and looked at Madam Fan ignorantly. After a moment, he understood the meaning of her words, and hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, no matter what kind of queen she is, I will never admit it!" After that, she seemed to suddenly remembered What, raised his eyes and said solemnly, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I heard that day, someone persuaded Brother to marry another woman. If you want to come to Zhao Ji, you will be proud of it soon!"
Mrs. Fan's eyes flickered slightly, and she looked at Guo Hao, who was beside her, and then quietly probed: "Oh? Can you hear, which woman is that?"
Liu Zhao frowned and thought about it carefully, then shook his head and said, "I didn't hear it clearly, when I left the palace that day, I secretly went to look for Brother Fan, and I heard a few words from him, all I know is that the woman seems to have good looks. Jia, from a better background than Zhao Ji."
Seeing that Mrs. Fan couldn't ask any more questions, she had to give up.
When Liu Zhao left, Guo Mi hurriedly helped Madam Fan to lie down carefully, and said softly, "Madam, why is this necessary? What if Zhao Ji is gone? The future of the young master is all in the king's mind."
Mrs. Fan seemed to have been drained of her strength at once, and she lay down slumped, her face was haggard, her eyes were slightly closed, she heard the words and shook her head: "If you don't understand, everyone else can, but Zhao Ji can't. There is a relationship between her and me. , I have a huge revenge for killing my husband, I will never let Po Nu and Adai be raised by her after my death!"
…
However, he said that because Liu Zhao was shackled and could not make a fool of himself for a while, Ah Shu was so relieved for the past two days, and even the sachet that had been troubled for a long time was finally finished embroidering on this day.
She didn't bother about what pattern to embroider in order to get a little bit into the eyes, she only took the appearance of a sachet sewn out of silk, then took the ink and painted a pattern of bluegrass and flowing clouds directly on the silk surface, and then added a red tassel. Network, put in a few pieces of fragrant slices, it is done.
She was putting the sachet in the palm of her hand and looked at it carefully, when she suddenly saw Queer jogging in with a bamboo tube in her hand, and she approached and said, "Ashu, this is the news sent by the people sent two days ago."
Ah Shu put down the sachet, took the bamboo tube into the inner room, opened the bamboo tube sealed with lacquer, and took out the bamboo slips.
The bamboo slip is only a short piece, with a few numbers written on it:
King Zhending took Wengzhu's daughter to Xindu.
The author has something to say: I resigned today. Although I was so angry that I vomited blood, I was still very happy!
