MTL - Sweet Beauty-Chapter 74 silk painting
For a while, the eyes of several people focused on Liu Yu.
Liu Xiu was silent, as if he was thinking about it. Before he could say anything, the little emperor Liu Xian suddenly stood up from the seat, his pale face showed timidity, and he looked at Geng Yun and said, "This matter will be decided by the big Sima and his mother, and King Xiao can also be by the side. I..." But This sentence has already made him sway and his momentum is sluggish, "I am tired, I need to rest for a while."
Geng Yun's expression of indifference and arrogance was unpleasant, but before he spoke, he saw the little emperor walking up and down the steps in a disorderly manner and was about to leave.
Probably in a hurry, when Liu Xian passed in front of Ah Shu, he was caught by the edge of the Xuan robe, and his slender figure staggered, and went straight to Ah Shu's side and fell down.
Seeing that he was about to touch the ground with his face, and fell in a daze, Ah Shu couldn't bear it, and subconsciously reached out to help him, and then he was able to stabilize his body.
Liu Xian was at a loss, his eyes were flustered, he raised his hands to straighten his clothes, glanced at her, and showed a shy smile again.
After The Chapter, his eyebrows were raised, as if he was suspicious and dissatisfied with the emperor's actions. Geng Yun was even more angry, and said with a cold face: "Your Majesty is no longer a yellow-mouthed child, and you should act calmly and appropriately."
Liu Xian bowed his head and replied, "I'm ashamed, the words of Da Sima have been taken into my heart." After he finished speaking, he turned around and said to Ah Shu, "Queen Xiao has just arrived at Weiyang Palace, and you haven't seen the scenery here, have you? Why don't you go out with me and have a look at each palace."
As soon as the words came out, everyone was surprised.
Geng Yun was silent, but Zhang Hou suddenly smiled at A Shu: "Your Majesty calls you, you can go." This kind of mother-like stab made A Shu embarrassed.
She didn't agree, just looked at Liu Xiong sideways. Liu Yu gave her a reassuring smile, indicating that she could go with her, and then said to the little emperor: "Your Majesty, my wife is in the palace for the first time, and she has to see the face of the sky.
Liu Xiu said this modestly, but his eyes were deep, and he taught people to hear the warning. Where is this asking Your Majesty to be considerate? It was clearly to warn others not to touch Queen Xiao.
Ah Shu got his approval, and then got up and saluted, and followed the little emperor out of the three people's eyes to the outside of the hall.
Behind him, there were several palace servants with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, Liu Xian straightened his back, his hands behind his back, and tried his best to support his wide robe with his thin body. Even though he was no more than a child, he had to put the huge and heavy crown of the sky on his head, which was only used by adult men.
Ah Shu walked silently behind her, looking at the thin back of the young man that was as close as her chest, feeling complicated for a while.
She was also born to Zhang Hou, and she was abandoned by her mother since she was born, but this young man has enjoyed a ten-year relationship by his mother's side. She had some undeniable envy, but seeing him so young today, she was controlled by a powerful minister, pretending to be mature, living in fear and trembling, and couldn't help feeling sympathy and pity in her heart.
He was originally innocent, but he was implicated by his background, and the times were intolerant.
Thinking like this, her eyes softened and she couldn't bear it.
The Weiyang Palace is the front hall on the top of the hill, with a panoramic view of the palaces and palaces in all directions. When the little emperor walked to the front of the steps, he suddenly stopped, and he waved his finger at the open scenery around him and said: "Queen, you see, this place is the most suitable for viewing, and you can have a panoramic view of the entire Weiyang Palace."
Weiyang Palace is the residence of the emperor, with magnolias as rafters, apricot wood as pillars, gilded inlaid jade, carved dragon patterns and phoenixes, gilt bronzes everywhere, and rare jade. Looking up in admiration.
When Ah Shu just entered, she didn't have the mind to take a closer look. When she looked at it now, Fang Jue was amazed. In the dream of the previous life, she was in the mansion for Geng Yunyou. Even if she saw Zhang Hou by chance, she entered Changle Palace for a quick glance, and she never had a leisurely time to appreciate the palace scenery.
Liu Xian looked at her sideways as if he was really watching, and then pointed to a clear pond in the southwest and said, "That pond is named Cangchi, because the water is so clear that it looks like a blue square." After speaking, he turned to the north again. The palace said, "That place is the Jiaofang Hall. It was named because the palace walls were covered with pepper and the color was warm. The queen mother said that in the future, when I am old and can marry the queen, the queen will live in the Jiaofang."
When he spoke, he was in high spirits, and a blush full of vitality appeared on his pale face, which made him look a little more lively and jumpy at this age.
Ah Shu couldn't help but turn her head to look one by one following his words. The respectful and reserved Duanrou's smile gradually loosened.
Liu Xian glanced sideways, and was fascinated by her smile. He stared blankly, and murmured "Elder Sister".
Ah Shu smiled for a while, and looked sideways at him.
Seeing her smiling slightly, Liu Xian was both shy and disappointed. He lowered his head and said, "The queen said, "You and I are the same mother. I will call you elder sister. If you don't like it, I will still call you queen." Bar."
He said, without waiting for her to answer, he became happy again, took out a piece of silk from his sleeve, proudly spread it in the palm of his hand, held it up in front of her and said, "Queen, look, this is what I painted yesterday. ."
Ah Shu took a closer look and saw that it was actually a silk painting. The painting was quite simple. It was an old farmer with a squat body. The girl was sitting on the couch, holding the scroll in her hand, and she was engrossed in reading, without noticing it at all.
"Your Majesty—" Ah Shu was startled, and suddenly looked up at the little emperor.
Liu Xian's dark eyes were full of nervousness and anticipation. Seeing the difference in her expression, he knew that she understood the meaning of the painting, so he calmly rushed to the side, seemingly low-brows pleasing to the eye, but in fact the palace people were secretly peeping. pouted.
A Shu was startled, suppressed the surprise and confusion in her heart, and smiled: "Your Majesty's paintings are very good, the brushwork is concise, lifelike, and has the style of everyone."
Liu Xian smiled shyly again, shoved the silk painting into her hand, and motioned her to put it away: "You make me ashamed. I will give this painting to you. I don't really like it, I only like to paint Danqing, but it's a pity Da Sima It is said that playing with things is lost, as a monarch, it should not be like this..."
Among the palace servants on the side, two quietly looked sideways. Through the hands of the two, they repeatedly peeped at the painting. Seeing that there was no difference, Fang Zhong lowered his head again.
…
In the front hall, Zhang Hou and Geng Yun both looked at Liu Yu and waited for him to answer.
The matter between Wuhuan and Xiongnu was expected, Liu Yu had already thought about it, but he pretended to think and deliberate, bowed and said: "Since it is the big Sima who asked about it, Yu will express his opinion directly."
"The Huns have been harassing the Han for a hundred years. Although they were controlled by marriage, wars and other means in the past, they have gradually become a serious problem recently. The Wuhuan has been fighting the enemy for me for many years, and then rejoined the Huns. Teach me that the Han family has lost a strong ally in the Youzhou border. Now that they are willing to ask for help, they should naturally spare no effort to send troops to support them. Otherwise, their lips will die, and once the Wuhuan is broken, the Xiongnu will disturb the Youzhou border next." He said, Suddenly, he said loudly, "If the Great Sima and the Empress Dowager are worried that there will be no generals in the court, the minister is willing to petition for war."
Rao is that Geng Yun and Zhang Hou have been secretly suspicious for a long time, and at this moment, they can't help but tacitly glance at each other.
If you want to go to war, you have to take control of the army. Today, Liu Yu has some elite soldiers and strong generals under his command. In name, it is owned by the Son of Heaven. In reality, everyone knows that, like the Xishan Red Turban Army, it is clearly only obeying Liu Yu's orders. He has already taken Ji and merged the two states. If you let him go to the Youzhou this time, I am afraid that he will be even more difficult to contain.
But if it wasn't for him to go, no one in the DPRK would have the ability to level the border of Youzhou.
Geng Yun stroked the edge of his clothes, squinted at him for a moment, and suddenly smiled in confusion: "King Xiao is right, he is indeed a loyal and good minister of my Han family." He turned his eyes to the back of the seat, "It's just that , Xiao Wang has played many battles in the past, which is already a great credit, and it will take some time to cultivate well. In recent years, the world has been shaken, the people are struggling to live, and there is a hundred wastes waiting to be revived.
As soon as these words came out, Liu Ruozhi was completely rejected.
After Zhang Hou heard the words, he also echoed: "Da Sima's words are reasonable. King Xiao does not need to worry about the dispute between barbarians. Let's discuss this matter later."
Both of them calmly watched Liu Yu's reaction.
Such a decision was within Liu Yu's expectations. He pretended to be unwilling to hide his unwillingness, secretly clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, raised his eyebrows, and said no more.
…
After nearly half an hour, A Shufang followed Liu Yu from the palace and returned to the residence.
Before leaving, the little emperor stood beside the queen mother, and while no one was paying attention, he silently made a playful face at Ashu, and taught her that she almost couldn't hold back her laughter, so she quickly blushed and lowered her eyes.
It was not until she was on the carriage that the tension in her body gradually loosened, and she felt trance-like when she touched the silk painting tucked in her sleeve.
Liu Yuyin was suppressing his anger when he met his enemy. At this moment, he left Weiyang Palace and hid in the carriage, so he could show a little coldness, pursed his lips for a long time and said nothing. When he was calmed down, he raised his eyebrows when he saw Ashu's dazed appearance. : "What's wrong? What just happened?"
Rao was because he didn't dare to do anything excessive in Weiyang Palace after the chapter was finalized. At this moment, seeing A Shu's appearance, he also had a little doubt.
Ah Shu was in a turmoil in her heart. After hearing his question, she couldn't help biting her red lips lightly and said, "It's nothing. It's just a little strange. Because of the rumors about my fate, the Queen Mother and even the Sima didn't dare to teach me to approach. Now Why don't you care anymore?"
Speaking of which, when the elder brother was forced to spread rumors that she and Emperor Xing were in conflict with each other, the Queen Mother and Geng Yun, who believed in prophecy, should be very careful.
Thinking of the silk painting that Liu Xian secretly gave her, and the unbridled look in Geng Yun's eyes, made her shudder even more. Could it be that they knew about her false rumors?
When Liu Yu heard the words, his eyes froze, and he sneered: "This is a false statement, believe it or not, it is up to them."
Just now, Geng Yun looked at Ah Shu's undisguised plundering eyes, as if a thorn was deeply stabbed in his heart, painfully, wishing he could go back and kill him on the spot.
However, now is not the time, he must calm down.
After finally slowing down, he pursed his lips coldly, stretched out his hand and took A Shu into his arms, and hugged her waist tightly with a possessiveness. He kissed her lips very tenderly.
Ashu knew that he didn't know what happened before, so after hesitating for a moment, she pushed him away with blushing cheeks, and panted, "Husband, there was something I didn't mention before - when I first came to Chang'an, the queen mother wanted to marry me with Da Sima, because of the rumors that I had a relationship with the emperor... I turned to marry me to my husband..."
Liu Yu was stunned when he heard the words, and his movements gradually stopped.
He did know about the rumors of Zhao Ji's fate before, and also understood the Queen Mother's intention to marry him, but he didn't know that there was such a paragraph before. Without him, the woman in front of him would be his wife in Geng Yun's mansion!
Thinking of this, the anger that he had just calmed down rekindled, and it was even more intense than before, and it was about to burst out of his heart and burn out his sanity.
Who is Geng Yun? He was born in a high-class family. Although his appearance and demeanor are good, he especially loves delicate and beautiful women. The courtiers from all over the world are all vying to send the beauty to him. He has countless wives and concubines in the mansion between the two palaces. Zhao Ji married her, wouldn't it be a waste of heaven?
If he hadn't married Ah Shu, at this moment, he would just smile a little with a little regret. However, now that Ah Shu is his own wife, and when he learns about this, even if he is not taken by Geng Yun in the end, he will feel shocked and angry.
He slowly let go of her, sat up straight, closed his eyes and rested.
Ah Shu was still lying on her side, her clothes and temples were messy, but she didn't prevent him from leaving abruptly, teaching her a moment of uneasiness and loss. She just bit her lip, turned around slightly embarrassed, and sorted her appearance silently.
Until the carriage went all the way to the Da Situ's mansion, and the two got off the carriage and entered the mansion, Liu Jiu's face was still grim, and he walked very fast without saying a word.
Ashu became more and more cautious, following behind him, she had to carry her skirt and run slightly to keep up.
Then she entered the bedroom, before she could breathe evenly, she saw him wave the servant back, and as soon as the door was closed, he picked her up and waited in the inner room when she was caught off guard. Too late, he placed it directly on the couch, possessed himself, and kissed him eagerly.
A Shu was stunned, and let him kiss deeply, from the lips to the ears, from the chin to the neck, and the fire ignited clusters of fire.
The front of the dress and the hair on the temples that had just been adjusted on the carriage were messed up for a while, and the more she taught her to show the beauty of a messy dress, black hair that was about to fall, and tears filled with tears.
Ah Shu only felt that she was like white meat on an anvil, stripped of clothes and decorations like cramps and bones, and was roasted on the fire without any cover, making a sizzling sound, suffering physically and mentally, and was eaten by Liu Yu in a while. belly.
He used to be gentle and considerate in the boudoir. Although it was a little unfamiliar at first, but after such a long time of understanding, I also gained a lot of experience, and I became more and more patient with time, and I could always teach the two to match the rhythm, making her comfortable and obedient.
But today, he seems to have changed his personality, his movements are not very gentle, and he is more incoherent. He only expresses his jealousy eagerly and fiercely.
Ashu was startled, struggling, and called him with tears in her eyes: "Husband—"
However, Liu Yu didn't seem to hear it, so he just leaned in and said in her ear with an unsteady breath: "Jun Shan told me before... You took the initiative to persuade him to marry me, if there were no rumors that day... Is it? You also want to take the initiative to marry Geng Yun?"
Ah Shu was in a chaotic mood, sobbing softly, shaking her head randomly, and said with tears in her eyes, "No, I don't want to marry him..."
Liu Yuqin's sweaty face loosened a little, as if a few drops of honey were dripping from her heart, but she still felt unsatisfied. She held on to her slender legs and pulled her hair lightly, forcing her to look up at herself, trembling. He asked in a deep voice, "If you don't marry him, who are you going to marry?"
"Marry...to you, to marry you..." Tears rolled down from the corners of Ah Shu's eyes, and she disappeared into the blue silk that lay on the couch.
Liu Xiu only felt that his heart was suddenly hit, a burst of numbness, followed by the joy and fun that could cover the sky and the sun. He couldn't help but leaned down, kissed her lips gently, and said in a hoarse voice, "Yes, you were born to marry me."
…
When everything died down and the two lay on the bed with their limbs entangled, Liu Yufang closed his eyes and pondered what he just said.
A gentleman should respect ghosts and gods and keep them away. He has been familiar with the classics, and believes that the time and place are right and people can achieve a lifetime of merit. He didn't care much about the so-called prophecies, so he never took the so-called "Ke Dixing" to heart. Such rumors not only did not deter him at all. Instead, it was used for him, and Empress Ling Zhang and Geng Yun had long believed that he was loyal and had no intention of usurping power.
But now that I think about it, I feel that the rumors are strange.
"Child, do you trust the prophecy?" He put one hand on her waist and slid gently between the white snow, causing a shudder.
Ashu twisted her body uncomfortably, shook her head randomly and said, "But it's all far-fetched words, I don't believe them."
Liu Xiu's half-squinted eyes suddenly flashed, he held her chin, looked deeply into her eyes, and said with a smile on the corners of his lips, "That prophecy of 'Ke Dixing', but you did it on purpose. ?"
Ah Shu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect him to be able to guess right away, so he nodded and said, "It's true that I persuaded Brother Brother and Sister-in-law to spread it out."
The smile on Liu Yu's lips deepened, his eyes darkened, and his voice was hoarse: "Really? I never thought that you would go so far to marry me."
When Ah Shu heard the words, her eyes widened suddenly, she was puzzled for a while, and then she reacted. He probably thought that he had intentionally spread such rumors at first, because he wanted to marry Geng Yun instead of marrying him.
A shy and crimson crimson climbed from her neck to her cheeks, making her whole body as charming as peach blossoms in spring.
Liu Xiu was confused for a while, and was about to lean in for a kiss, but she turned her face away and whispered, "How dare I be so self-motivated, to think that my husband would marry me that day? It's just to avoid the fate of marrying and marrying the big Sima. ."
When she spoke, there was an undisguised melancholy and caution in her tone, and she taught him to think about the days when he was suspicious and hard to break up when he first got married.
He was so happy that he was beaten back to his original state, and he let go of her for a while, his face was astringent, and after a long while, Fang said dully: "But I think too much."
If he hadn't thought about it, weighed it for a long time, and persuaded by Guo Qu, he would have been unwilling to follow the Queen Mother's wishes and marry Zhao Ji. When he first got married, he also thought in the dimness that if there was no Zhao Ji, he would not have to suffer the shame of marrying the enemy's daughter after suffering the pain of bereavement.
But he is conceited that he is a man with a big heart, and he does not care about the petty interests and righteousness in front of him. Since he took the initiative to ask for marriage, he cannot regret it. Now it seems that the beauty is in his arms, and he is in his heart. Sure enough, not only did he not regret it, but he was satisfied.
Seeing Empress Dowager Yu Zhao Ji today, there really isn't a trace of mother-daughter friendship, and that fake smile on his face actually made him feel a lot more relieved. She was just a poor orphan girl, and she was cast beside him, and she deserved every kind of care from him.
The tenderness and sweetness in his heart gradually rose, and Liu Yu's arms tightened, making her hug her tightly, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, you are in my heart, and you are different from the mother and son in Weiyang Palace."
Ah Shu was originally moved, but then the vivid silk painting and the trembling, shy and cowardly young man suddenly flashed through his mind, he couldn't bear it, he hesitated again and again, and said, "To watch your majesty today, it should be different from the queen mother..."
Her voice was getting lower and lower, and the last two words had disappeared from her lips, so she had to bite her teeth tightly, looking at his increasingly cold face, daring not to say a word.
