MTL - Sweet Beauty-Chapter 6 see
Queer had just been sure that King Xiao was really pleased with Shu, but at this time, seeing the man standing in the outer room, he was not so sure.
Although he was still mild-mannered, the smile on his face faded a little, and there was a bit of indifference in his eyes.
Ah Shu was nervous for no reason, her heart skipped a beat, she suppressed her inexplicable panic, took two steps forward, and said warmly, "The bath is ready, please undress, Your Majesty." After speaking, she got closer and reached out to undress him. .
Who knew that she hadn't touched the clothes yet, but he was suddenly alert, his eyebrows were raised, and he instinctively stepped back to avoid, as if he didn't want to teach her to touch it at all.
The subconsciously revealed disgust made all the maids in the house stunned.
Ah Shu felt embarrassed, her hands stiffened in mid-air for a moment, then she silently bit her lip and retracted it, looking at him without saying a word.
Her instinctive actions after drinking must not be faked. It seems that she guessed right. The so-called joy just now was just a lie to others. Mingming also led her to board the carriage in public, but in a blink of an eye, it was ruthless.
Liu Xiu seemed to realize that he had lost his way, and regained some clarity. He waved to the others and said, "Let's all go down."
Everyone retreated according to the words, and Queer was worried and did not dare to leave directly. At the end, she boldly said: "Your Majesty, there is still a ceremony to cast the tent."
The so-called throwing ceremony refers to the custom of praying for more children and more happiness on the wedding night. The husband and wife sit together, and the woman scatters five-colored concentric flowers and fruits from a distance. The two of them fill it with cassocks, and if they get more fruits, their descendants will continue to grow.
It used to be an ordinary marriage custom, but Liu Yu probably endured too much tonight. When he listened to it again, his face suddenly turned cold, and he said solemnly, "Go on."
Queer was startled, and hurriedly bowed and left, not daring to say another word.
There were only two people left in the room, Liu Xiu didn't bother to maintain his demeanor, his face was completely cold, and without saying a word, he took off his belt and took off his dress, revealing the tightly hidden clothes underneath.
That's a piece of gluten.
Ah Shu only felt the pain in her eyes, she opened her eyes for a while, not daring to look again.
It was early summer, and on the wedding day, he put on a veil under the heavy wedding dress, obviously, to wear filial piety for his elder brother Liu Xu.
Xiaoqi was forced to marry the enemy's daughter, and it was difficult for anyone to swallow this breath.
Ah Shu's heart was sour and frightened.
At this time, the more hidden he is, the more shameful he will be when he takes revenge in the future.
Thinking of the slaughter at Changle Palace, she was stiff and trembling all over, and without any movement, she stared at him carefully folding the filial attire, turned around and strode into the bath room.
This is going to be a long time.
After a long time, Ah Shu knelt down on the couch and stared straight at the candlelight, forgetting the fear just now and falling asleep.
I don't know how long it took, and when Liu Yu returned to the house with her clothes on, she saw her petite body leaning on the couch, her head dangling on her chest, like a chicken pecking at rice.
He couldn't help but stop and look carefully.
This woman is indeed born with a good skin. Compared with her mother, she is no worse than her mother, and she does not live up to the reputation.
It's a pity to marry him in this situation.
I heard that Zhao Ji was born in Handan since childhood. After the death of the first emperor, Fang Yu recently traveled westward from Handan and met the mother and daughter of the queen mother.
But no matter what, it was Zhang Hou who was conceived in October, and not being recognized for many years does not mean that there is no mother-daughter relationship, no matter how you look at it, it is not innocent.
He didn't want to marry her, but that day in Weiyang Palace, he almost rejected her face to face.
Fortunately, he was still sensible at that time, so he just went back to his home to think about it.
The generals of the Shimen guest department were incensed by the death of their elder brother, and they persuaded him to reject the marriage. The only one who advises to marry.
This person, Guo Qu, whose courtesy name is Junqing, is a native of Nanyang. He is forty years old and has worked for nearly ten years in the field of farming. He only joined his elder brother three years ago.
When I asked him, he said: "The meaning of the empress dowager and the big Sima is very clear. If the Duke Ming will endure him and marry him, he will be able to leave Chang'an. Otherwise, he should be like a big Situ."
Hearing this, he only weighed the pros and cons, pondered for a long time, and finally agreed, and entered the palace in person on the second day to ask for marriage.
After that, he hastily discussed marriage, and to this day he is publicly humiliated.
What Guo Qu said was really good. According to today's situation, if he refused that day, Zhang Hou and Geng Yun would never let it go easily.
However, this revenge, he will definitely have to avenge in the future.
Thinking of this, his eyes dimmed again, looking at the little girl who was dozing off with complicated eyes.
Under the cover of the nest, An has finished eggs?
A Shu on the couch seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly woke up, opened his eyes, and suddenly met his unfathomable indifferent eyes, only to feel stiff all over and chills down his spine.
It was a signal of his revenge, and she would never forget it.
Seemingly aware of her inexplicable fear, Liu Xiu was confused for a moment.
When she was greeted in person, she was already terrified, but she didn't know why. He clearly still listened to the words of Huangmen who was behind Zhang Hou. Zhao Ji was domineering and not easy to get along with. He didn't expect her to be afraid of him, who was known as a gentle and generous person?
However, he didn't want to investigate, so he put on a smile, took out the prepared quilt from the box against the wall, and spread it on the seat at the other end of the room, saying, "It's getting late, sleep early. Bar."
After all, he had already taken off his shoes and socks, and was lying on his back.
It was very narrow, and his tall body was on top, showing a bit of crampedness. But his expression was natural, he seemed to be unaware, and his eyes were already closed to sleep.
Ah Shu stared at him silently for a moment in the tranquility, seeing that he was stable as if he had fallen asleep quickly, then he got up, crept out the candles one by one, and climbed into the wide bed by feeling the darkness.
The eldest brother is like a father, he must be filial to his brother and will not touch her.
In this way, A Shu is a little relieved.
…
On the second day, when it was dawn, Liu Yu was already awake, and he climbed up from the slump. He took the quilt and other items, including the one from yesterday, back into the box. After everything returned, Fang Xinbu sat back on the bed. side.
When Ashu Youyou woke up, she saw a generous figure beside the bed, blocking most of the dazzling morning light. In a trance, she saw him looking sideways at her. The morning light shone through his deep outline, shining with gentle and charming eyes. It actually taught people to misunderstand a bit of pity.
However, it only took a moment, and when she looked into his cold eyes, she suddenly woke up.
Eighty percent of him is pretending.
After a while, the servants and servants outside the house filed into the house with wooden cups, copper basins, towels, and other items. After serving the two of them, they were groomed before serving the food. Suddenly, someone came to report: "Your Majesty has summoned King Xiao to the Weiyang Palace."
Although he was ordered by His Majesty, but His Majesty was young and not involved in court affairs, it must be the intention of Empress Zhang and the Great Sima.
Early in the morning on the second day of the wedding, he was summoned to the palace. A Shu had a hunch that he was going to go to Hebei.
If it were a normal day, with Liu Yu as a person, he would definitely leave the palace and enter the palace immediately, and would not dare to neglect for a moment. But today he was uncharacteristically, only said "I know", then motioned for his servants to go down, and then used the morning meal without hesitation.
The meal is vegetarian, with hu cakes and bean soup, and two dishes of pickles such as bamboo shoots, which is completely different from the Zhongming Ding food in the ordinary royal family. However, Liu Yu ate with relish and meticulousness, as if he was using rare delicacies in the world. When it was exhausted, he still didn't leave the table, just waiting patiently for Ah Shu.
Ashu was born in a big family, and she was used to swallowing finely on weekdays. Today, someone was looking at her sideways, which made her feel uncomfortable. She quickly swallowed two more mouthfuls, but she didn't notice it for a while, choked in her throat and choked her face flushed.
Liu Xiu saw her blushing cheeks, watery eyes, pitiful and aggrieved appearance, and finally showed a sincere smile, and poured a cup of syrup for her and handed it to her.
Ah Shu shyly took the drink and managed to calm down her breath. She just lowered her head and hurriedly finished drinking, not daring to look directly at him again.
With a good-tempered and considerate appearance, he patiently asked, "Can you get used to the morning meal? My family is always simple, but I don't know how you were in Handan."
The surrounding servants held their breaths, only to feel that King Xiao was really like a modest gentleman, and he was a gentleman.
Ah Shu stiffened her body and murmured in her heart. If she really cared about whether she was used to it, why didn't she ask before meals? However, she still responded with a smile on her face: "Everything is fine. Your Majesty, it's getting better day by day, Your Majesty still has a call, so let's go earlier."
This is unbearable, and the order to be expelled is about to be issued.
A sneer flashed in Liu Yu's eyes, and he twitched the corners of his mouth almost invisible. Shi Shiran got up, and before leaving, he still did not forget to instruct: "My relatives are still in Dongjun, and there are no relatives at home who need to serve, Ji Yufu is in the house. It's just like being at home in Handan." After saying that, he put on his clothes and left.
Ah Shu felt trembling all over her body. Even if she knew he was a human being, she still couldn't stop sighing today—this person can't stand it! In the future, facing this smiling tiger every day, what should she do?
When the person left, Que'er approached cautiously: "Ashu, just now Wang Xiao was so considerate to you, thinking that everything should be alright last night?" She finally couldn't forget the appearance of Wang Xiao before leaving the house last night. But see you today, and feel like two different people, thinking that it was just her illusion last night?
Ashu smiled bitterly: "You were deceived by him again. How is he considerate? He clearly made up his mind to respond to me." He closed the door at night and was extremely indifferent to her, but when he appeared in front of others, he became very He is so considerate and loving, doesn't it make him unable to express his suffering?
Queer was still puzzled, but she believed Ashu's words with all her heart: "If this is the case, I have to speak to the young master quickly."
Before getting married, Zhao You told Queer that as long as his sister suffered any grievances, she would report to him immediately.
Ah Shu hurriedly stopped her: "Don't go, he didn't do anything to me. If it's like this every day, it can be regarded as a respectful guest. There's nothing wrong with it. You don't need to block my brother."
Que'er had a round face, one side was what Ah Shu meant, and the other was Young Master's entrustment, she hesitated again and again, and finally said: "It's okay, don't tell Young Master first, if King Xiao really treats Ah Shu badly in the future, I will definitely If you want to go back, let your son take Ashu home!"
She said it confidently, seeing Ashu's intuition and cuteness, she couldn't help laughing: "Don't be busy with this, in a few days, we will leave Chang'an and go to Hebei, hurry up and pack our bags!"
…
However, it was said that in the front hall of Weiyang Palace, Zhang Hou and Shaodi raised their seats, and they were only two steps from the bottom, and then they set up a seat that collapsed. After a year of sitting on the top, they stood up. The man who was not confused was a man with a broad face, a crown on his head, and a red body. Dressed in black robes, with an overwhelming aura, it was the Great Sima Gengyun who was in charge of government affairs on behalf of His Majesty.
Liu Xiu went to pay homage, and lowered his eyebrows blindly, not seeing anything wrong.
Zhang Hou and Geng Yun both carefully observed his condition, but they couldn't catch any clues, so Fang discouraged him to get up and give him a seat.
Zhang Hou pretended to be concerned and said, "I just got married yesterday, and today I asked King Xiao to come here. I really want to apologize. My daughter was born in the people and is the only daughter of the Zhao family. She doesn't know the rules. Xiao Wang Haihan."
She heard Peng Sheng's report yesterday, saying that Liu Yu was very pleased with the bride, but she still couldn't believe it. Zhao Ji was not allowed to approach the palace, so she summoned Liu Yu to find out.
Liu Xiu shook his head hurriedly and smiled shyly: "Why did the queen mother say this? Zhao Ji is not only beautiful, but also has a soft temperament.
Geng Yun heard the words, ignoring the etiquette in the hall, rubbing his palms and laughing: "Yes, it seems that this woman is very much in Zhong Yuan's mind, and it can make Zhong Yuan get carried away. This woman, the Queen Mother, is not married to the wrong person."
He stepped up and down from his seat, patted Liu Yu's shoulder, and said meaningfully, "The Queen Mother is only one woman, and she cares about her day and night. You must treat her kindly, so as to live up to the trust of Your Majesty and the Queen Mother."
Liu Yu immediately acted in a state of sincerity and fear, left his seat and bowed, "I remember the advice of Da Sima, and I will not dare to forget it." Unimportant truth?"
Geng Yun couldn't help but glanced at Zhang Hou, and after the eyes exchanged, he suddenly turned around and said, "Is this true? Why did I hear that Zhong Yuan was wearing a filial piety for his brother in private, and he never took off his filial piety at the wedding ceremony? The wedding ceremony is a great joy, why? Can it be a big mourning? Isn't this disrespectful to the Queen Mother and Her Majesty?"
When Liu Yu heard the words, his eyes suddenly turned cold.
…
In the Da Situ's mansion, Ah Shu directed the maids to work for nearly two or three hours before packing most of the items properly. As long as the departure date is set, they can quickly finish the journey.
Just as she went back to the room and rested on the couch, Ren Shumaid gathered up the brochures, books and other things she had left to dry by the door, but they heard each other's reports from outsiders: "The king is back."
She sat up on the couch, straightened her back, and was about to come forward when she saw that Liu Yu was already walking in, her face was obviously expressionless, but she was a little irritable for no reason.
There are still maids busy around, he rubbed his eyebrows and waved: "Don't be busy, step back."
Everyone retreated in accordance with the words, and the room returned to silence.
Ah Shu felt uncomfortable all over, and didn't dare to take the initiative to change and wash for him, so she got closer and poured a glass of buttermilk and handed it over.
Liu Yu sat down directly, took a few sips of drinks, and then suddenly said: "I won't go out to Hebei, it's difficult and dangerous, so it's not appropriate to take you with me. Since you are the daughter of the Queen Mother, it makes no sense to finally enter Chang'an to meet your biological mother. Teach you the separation of flesh and blood, and you stay here."
Ashu was shocked, she raised her eyes suddenly, and looked at him in disbelief: "Your Majesty, the concubine is willing to walk with the Majesty."
Leaving Chang'an with her brother and sister-in-law is what she has been looking forward to most since these days.
Liu Xiu looked at her expressionlessly, and said coldly, "This is the meaning of the Great Sima."
