MTL - Sweet Beauty-Chapter 39 Calculate
Liu Xiu arrived at Quliang the night before, with only a few entourages beside Guo Qu, they rushed all the way, and did not stay for too long. Handan.
Before leaving, he told Guo Qu that he only wanted to persuade the county magistrate of Zhao County to prevent and control the locust plague together, and to visit the Zhao family on the way.
Guo Qu and the others all said that he planned well and hurried all the way, also for official business.
Only he himself knew how much selfishness was involved.
Liu An was interested in Zhao Ji, and this matter was like a thorn in his throat. No matter what the relationship between husband and wife was originally, he could never let the two people in Handan be alone behind his back.
This is the dignity that cannot be challenged as a dignified man.
When approaching Zhao's land, he also hesitated, for fear that he would see something embarrassing if he came without notice.
In particular, he also vaguely knew that Zhao Ji and Liu An had known each other since childhood. If it is a childhood sweetheart, there is no guessing between the two...
He remembered the Empress Dowager Zhang who ran into the palace before He Li, and his heart became more and more heavy.
Fortunately, Liu An did not stay in the mansion, but was taken to the farm by Zhao You. From this point of view, there should be no chance to be alone with Ah Shu in these two days.
At that time, he pretended to ask casually, but his heart was turbulent and ups and downs. It was not until he heard her answer that he calmed down a little and felt a lot more comfortable.
Yes, this brother and sister really know how to measure.
He then went out of the house with confidence to go to the government office, looking for the county governor and others to discuss the method proposed by Guo Qu to prevent the plague of locusts by shepherding chickens and ducks.
The resistance to the implementation of this law mainly came from the imperial court far away in Chang'an and the local county watch. Although Zhaodi is still governed by the county governor, the imperial court's orders are not subject to many orders; and the local tyrants are led by the Zhao clan.
After a day of negotiation, the county governor was relieved, as long as Zhao Youyuan took the lead, the whole county could do it.
In this way, Liu Yu only needs to negotiate with Zhao You again.
He was very satisfied with the result, and after saying goodbye to the county guard, he rode back.
Unexpectedly, only when they got outside the door, they saw that Zhao You and Liu An had just returned, and Liu An was standing ill in the cold wind, looking straight at Zhao Ji and talking to her.
That's Liu Xiu's wife!
He was deeply displeased, and without thinking about it, he directly interrupted.
For some unknown reason, when Mrs. Zhao and the servants of Zhending saw him, they couldn't help but move out of the way, and then listened to his order, and obediently helped Liu An to the east courtyard.
Zhao You didn't say anything to stop him, he just waved to the others to follow, and entered the back kitchen to decoct medicine for Liu An.
And just now, Liu An, who was still full of anticipation like a child, flashed a haze in his eyes for a moment, and then looked back and said apologetically, "It's my sick body that drags everyone down."
After he said that, he coughed again, and the cough was earth-shattering.
The servants and maids beside him all felt pity for him, and couldn't bear to look at him again.
Liu Xiu couldn't hang on his face, his heart was filled with air, a little depressed, and the water vapor he exhaled in the cold night was thick and long.
He has always thought that he is very good at attracting people's hearts. Today, I know that this Prince Zhending is also very good. With his frail reputation, he has won the sympathy of many people.
Even Zhao Ji had a hint of guilt at the moment.
He glared at her angrily, wishing he could turn her face over and look at him in public.
Ah Shu still didn't know what he was thinking, so she silently retracted her gaze, and when she turned her eyes, she realized that although his face was gentle, his eyes were full of haze, so he could not help but quietly take a half step back.
Still involuntarily afraid.
Liu Yu rubbed his brows, shook his head helplessly, motioned Ashu to go back to the house first, then turned to Zhao You and nodded, "Junshan, I have something important to discuss with you here."
Zhao You received a message from home early on his way back, and he was not surprised to know that Liu Jiu was here. He turned his head to look at the back of his sister returning to the house, and until he completely disappeared in the door, he first bowed respectfully to Liu Yu, and then said rudely, "If the king wants to bring the queen back to Xindu, Shuyou cannot agree."
Liu Xiu's face suffocated, he never expected Zhao You to be so straightforward, even if he didn't intend to mention this, he felt very embarrassed.
These two brothers and sisters, one is afraid of him, the other hates him, and neither of them wishes him well!
Thinking of the letter written by Zhao You not long ago, he could not help clenching his hands under his robe, and he was embarrassed with a bit of shame, and said sternly: "Junshan, of course I want to bring Zhao Ji back, but there is nothing at home. Clear, I will never be so confused. I am here to prepare for next year's locust plague and famine."
Zhao You carefully observed him and was convinced that what he said was true.
…
When Liu Xiu returned to the house, Ashu was kneeling on the low couch covered with snow-white sable fur with her back to the door of the house, and she was fascinated by the bronze mirror in the dressing gown.
She rested one arm on the couch, raised the other arm, and her sleeve slipped down, revealing half of her wrist like a lotus root. Su's hand moved to the cloud-like black hair, but only half of the hosta was removed. Half of her face was reflected in the bronze mirror, lazy and charming.
The door was wide open, and the cold wind suddenly came in. She couldn't help covering her mouth and nose, and sneezed two more times, as if she had caught a little cold.
The maids quickly closed the door again to block the chill outside.
Liu Yu stopped in her footsteps, her eyes flickered slightly, and she stared at the blurred outline in the bronze mirror for a moment. Before she got up from the couch when she looked back, she quickly stepped forward and stood on the edge of the couch, blocking half of the candlelight, enveloping her petite figure.
He stretched out his hand like a ghost, took down the half of her hosta, and watched as the black hair that was bound by her was suddenly lost, poured down, and landed on half of her shoulders.
Ah Shu looked up at him, her hands propped up on the couch. He pushed her gently, causing her to sit down, and then bullied her closer, forcing her to curl her legs, and her upper body couldn't bend backwards.
The maids had seen the kiss between the two in the early morning. At this moment, they had already tiptoed out of the room, leaving only the two of them in the house.
He held one hand from behind her waist, his face was close to hers, and he rubbed it twice. The cyan stubble on her chin made her cheeks hurt and itchy, and she couldn't help turning her head and sneezing again.
He chuckled softly, broke her face, kissed her forehead and hairline, and said hoarsely, "Have you caught a cold?"
Ah Shu wrinkled the tip of his nose and nodded, feeling a scratch from his chin again on his forehead.
He laughed again, arrogantly buried his face in her neck, bit her red earlobe, and said vaguely, "It's good to sweat."
It took A Shu a long time to understand what he meant, and she couldn't help but push him with a blushing face.
Why did he suddenly become so shameless after not seeing him in January? Where did the old gentleman look like?
He backed away, staring at her.
"I haven't seen you in over a month."
The matter of female **** is all about eating marrow and knowing taste. He thought about it for a month, and the aftertaste was still unfinished, how could he still care about the gentleman's demeanor?
She lowered her eyes and said in her heart that there was only one night | love | affairs in the past, and sure enough, men are all the same, **** | lust.
"Your clothes are still wet."
She pushed him again, and her tentacles were wet.
This time he stood up obediently, let her take off the belt for her, took off his wet robe from walking in the snow, and hounded her in front of him, half dragging and half hugging her between the bed curtains.
…
After a long while, she was exhausted, sweating all over her body, she leaned softly against his chest, her eyes were slightly closed, and she was exhausted.
Satisfied, he stroked her smooth back with one hand, twisted her hair around his fingertips with the other, lowered his head and bit the tip of her nose, and asked, "How is it? I'm sweating, but I feel better now?"
Her cheeks were flushed, and she snorted softly, but she felt that the stagnant feeling between her nose had really disappeared.
Taking advantage of the fact that the two of them were tired at the same time, she raised her eyes and glanced at him, and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, sister-in-law—she is pregnant, and it's been five months now."
Liu Xiu closed his eyes and said "uh", but he still stroked her repeatedly, but his eyelids couldn't help but jump.
She observed his expression more and more carefully, and continued to test: "I want to accompany my sister-in-law to Ping An delivery..."
This is a hint that she is unwilling to go back with him.
Although she wouldn't think that he came here just to bring him back, and in the early morning, he also knew that he was involved in official business. But on the day that Qu Liang parted, he was still in her ears, so she had to be more prepared.
At this moment, the cloud and rain are beginning to rest. He is obviously very satisfied with her beauty, and he is content and comfortable. It is time to talk better than usual.
Liu Yu's eyelids began to twitch wildly, and the exhaustion that had accumulated for several days suddenly hit him, making him very uncomfortable.
These two brothers and sisters are really-alike! As if he was afraid that he would not know that he was not welcome in Zhao Di!
He sighed helplessly. After a long while, under her uneasy gaze, she turned over to face her, and said solemnly, "I said, this is a business. I fear there will be a locust plague and famine next year. ."
As he spoke, he suddenly felt a little guilty.
Although the matter was important, he could have sent messengers to come. But he came in person, firstly because of Guo Qu's reminder, asking him to appease the Zhao family well, so as to show his obedience to Zhanghou and others, and secondly, because of his selfishness.
"I don't force you to go back with me this time." He took a deep breath and said gloomily, "For the past two days, don't always go around in circles with me, okay?"
Ashu looked into his dark eyes, nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, and all his words were assurances: "Of course, I will never sway the king's will."
But she muttered in her heart, it might be true to go around in circles, but how could she dare to oppose him?
However, looking at his slightly depressed appearance, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Unexpectedly, she just responded, Liu Xiongcai's depression suddenly dissipated, his eyes slid down her face, his lips curled into a small smile, and he pointed out: "If you suffer from the wind and cold, you have to take a bath in hot soup to get better. some."
He had already thought about it before he set off. Since 80% of the time he could not bring people back, he might as well take advantage of the limited time to seek some benefits. Horizontal and vertical is the wife that Ming media is marrying, and it should belong to him. How can there be a reason why others are coveted by him, but he can't touch it?
He has gradually figured out her little thought, and naturally he can't let it go easily.
Ah Shu was dumbfounded and looked at him in disbelief. The words of refusal came to his lips, but when he saw his eyes with a hint of warning, remembering the "guarantee" he had just made, he suddenly softened and let him pick it up, stepping barefoot on the microcosm. On the hot ground, he casually put on a robe and pursed his lips and reluctantly followed him into the bathroom.
He had never heard of him having a wife and concubine before, so how could he do these things without being ashamed?
