Chapter 537: The Huns are just looking for an excuse
The moonlight like water gently caresses Luoyang City.
The flowers and grass in the back garden of the palace, as well as the tall trees and the majestic palace rooms, were all plated with a thin layer of silver light under the reflection of the moonlight.
A figure wanders alone on the shore of a lake in the back garden. The moonlight shone on his body, dragging his shadow to the elder, and the long reflection gave people a feeling of loneliness and loneliness.
While the shadow was pacing back and forth along the shore of the lake, another shadow passed through the willow wall not far from the shore and walked towards the shadow on the shore.
"Huanniang!" The dark shadow that had just passed through the willows reached the shore of the lake, and whispered to the black shadow that was pacing back and forth along the shore.
The black shadow walking slowly back and forth along the shore of the lake is none other than Tao Huanniang, who has just left Tang Ji's bedroom.
Since Tang Ji was about to give birth, Tao Huanniang and Cai Yan have been by Tang Ji's side, until Liu Wei came, they sat for a while, and then they each found a reason, and left Tang Ji's residence with Guan Qing and Liu Nu, leaving room for Liu Bi, Tang Ji and Liu Sheng, who had just come to this world, to be alone.
Leaving from Tang Ji's residence, Tao Huanniang paced back and forth on the shore of the lake, thinking that Tang Ji had given birth to a son for Liu Wei, but her own stomach had not moved until now, and it was inevitable that a wave of sadness would swell up inexplicably in her heart.
The evening breeze swept against the surface of the lake, brushing the tips of Tao Huanniang's hair, making her lonely back add a bit of loneliness and elegance in the loneliness.
Hearing the call behind her, Tao Huanniang's delicate body shook suddenly, and she quickly turned her head and looked at the person who had just walked through the willow wall towards her.
What appeared in front of Tao Huanniang's eyes was Liu Wei's face that she thought about day and night, but after meeting, she didn't dare to be too intimate in front of others.
"Your Royal Highness......" Seeing Liu Bian, Tao Huanniang's small mouth opened and gently called Liu Bian.
Smiling at Tao Huanniang, Liu Wei strode up to her, pulled up her hands, put them in front of her eyes and looked at them carefully, and after a while, he asked her: "In the days when this king is away, Huanniang is still doing those rough jobs at home?" ”
Holding Tao Huanniang's slightly rough hands, Liu Wei's eyes stared at her already flushed face without blinking, and said softly to her: "You are now the princess, you don't need to do more things like sewing and mending, washing and washing the pulp, you ......can do it once or twice in your spare time."
"Huanniang has nothing to do all day...... Liu Bian's words fell, Tao Huanniang lowered her head and said to him in a weak gnat voice: "If you don't find something to do, the concubine will miss His Royal Highness all day long, and it is really boring." It is much better to tidy up the garden and sew some clothes at home. ”
Although Tao Huanniang's words were very light, in Liu Wei's ears, they pierced his heart like a steel needle.
"I'm sorry for you!" Holding Tao Huanniang into his arms, Liu Wei's lips were attached to her earlobes, and he said to her very gently: "Isn't this king coming back?" ”
"Princess Tang just gave birth today, and His Royal Highness should accompany them more!" was held in Liu Wei's arms, although Tao Huanniang said so, her hands gently wrapped around Liu Wei's back and hugged his waist tightly.
"Both of them are asleep!" Holding Tao Huanniang, Liu Wei pursed his lips and rubbed her earlobes twice, and whispered to her: "This king will sleep with you tonight." ”
Knowing that Liu Wei would stay with her at night, coupled with the fact that her earlobes were rubbed by his lips, Tao Huanniang was itchy and numb, and her pretty face suddenly turned into a big red cloth, her arms wrapped around Liu Bian's waist, and her lips moved, but she didn't even say half a note.
A cool breeze with moisture swept past the two of them, hugging Tao Huanniang, Liu Wei turned his head to look at the lake in the night.
The moon hangs in the air, and on the surface of the microwave rippling lake, the reflection of the moon is trembling lightly with the surging waves, and on the edge of the reflection, there is also a silvery moonlight blooming.
"It's been a long time since it's been so calm!" Looking at the lake, Liu Wei turned around and put an arm around Tao Huanniang, as if talking to himself, as if he was saying to Tao Huanniang: "If this king can live a few days in the palace, and wait with you more, it would be great!" ”
"Hmm!" Snuggled in Liu Bian's arms and looked at the lake in the night with him, Tao Huanniang hummed softly, did not speak, but leaned her head towards Liu Bian's arm again.
She didn't speak because she really didn't know what to say. Looking forward to Liu Wei no longer leading the army, it is not only Liu Wei himself, but also her, Tang Ji and Cai Yan.
But the troubled times have risen, as the bloodline of the Han family, if he does not lead the army to fight, how can Liu Wei survive in the world? And how to protect them from bullying?
Quiet nights always pass quickly in your sleep.
Through the small window, the morning light is projected into the inner room of Tao Huanniang's bedroom. Although the sunlight did not directly reach Liu Wei's eyes, it still made him feel a little uncomfortable with his eyes closed on his back.
He turned over and stretched out his hand to hug Tao Huanniang, who had been upside down with him at night and almost exhausted his physical strength, but he didn't expect to hug him in the air.
didn't hug Tao Huanniang, who was supposed to be lying beside him, and knew that Tao Huanniang had a habit of getting up early, so he slowly half-opened his eyes and looked to the side.
Sure enough, on the cover, he didn't see Tao Huanniang's figure.
"Your Highness wants to wash?" Just when Liu Wei didn't see Tao Huanniang and was about to close his eyes and sleep for a while, Tao Huanniang's sweet voice came from outside the door of the inner room.
Hearing Tao Huanniang's voice, Liu Wei turned his head and looked at the door. I saw Tao Huanniang holding a clay pot in both hands, and Shi Shiran walked into the house.
When walking, Tao Huanniang's two legs seem to be a little not close, and the walking posture is not as free as before, but the two jade legs involuntarily skim out a little, which makes people feel very strange when they look at it.
When Tao Huanniang approached, Liu Wei looked up at her and asked her with some doubts, "What's wrong with Huanniang?" It seems a little difficult to walk! ”
It's okay that Liu Wei didn't ask, as soon as he asked like this, Tao Huanniang's face suddenly turned red with shame, pursed her lips tightly, gave Liu Wei a white look, and complained coquettishly: "Your Highness knows, why do you want to ask?" ”
Tao Huanniang's pretty face turned red, Liu Wei suddenly understood, smiled hehe, and said to her: "It's really the king's negligence, tonight the king is lighter!" ”
"Your Highness will ...... tonight" Before Liu Wei's words fell, Tao Huanniang opened her eyes, looked at him in disbelief, and asked him: "Could it be Your Highness......"
"Hmm!" Lying on the cover, he stretched out his hand to hug Tao Huanniang, who had just put down the basin, although he was stunned, but his expression was still difficult to hide his joy, and said to her softly: "This king will go to Zhaoji again tomorrow night." ”
"Your Highness!" was holding Tao Huanniang and talking to her, a maidservant's voice came from outside the door: "Xu Junshi asks to see!" ”
Hearing the voice of the maidservant, Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, pursed his lips at Tao Huanniang, and whispered to him: "This Xu Yuanzhi is a good time to grasp, he didn't come last night, but he didn't come until the king slept all night, and then he came to ask to see the king." ”
"In the days when His Royal Highness is not in Luoyang, many things rely on the military advisor!" While serving Liu Wei and dressing, Tao Huanniang said softly to Liu Bian: "There have been many things in Luoyang City recently, and I want to come to the military division early in the morning to ask for His Royal Highness, just to talk about these things." ”
"Oh?" I didn't expect that Tao Huanniang would say a lot of things in Luoyang, Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Tao Huanniang, although he didn't ask questions, his eyes were full of doubts.
It's no wonder that Liu Wei will show such a look, Tao Huanniang was born in poverty, since she entered the palace, she has always adhered to her duties as a woman, in addition to sewing and mending and washing the pulp every day, I am afraid that the most expensive thing for her is the small garden behind her bedroom that grows some vegetables and fruits.
Even she knew that something had happened in Luoyang, and it seemed that things were really troublesome.
Finding Liu Wei looking at her with a puzzled face, Tao Huanniang's pretty face turned red, lowered her head and pursed her lips, and said to Liu Wei in an almost inaudible voice: "The concubine just knows that many people have come to Luoyang recently, and she doesn't know too much. ”
"This king knows that you don't know what to do!" Liu Wei opened his arms, maintained an upright "Tai" shape, turned his head to Tao Huanniang, who was helping him dress, smiled and said: "Huanniang has never been out of the house, how can she know so many things." ”
Tao Huanniang didn't speak again, just pursed her lips, and helped Liu Wei get dressed with a blushing face.
After touching the scene of the small half-pillar incense, Liu Wei had finished dressing and washing properly, walked out of Tao Huanniang's inner room, and just came to the front gate of the dormitory, he saw Xu Shu waiting at the front door of the dormitory.
"The military advisor came to look for this king early in the morning, I don't know what happened?" Seeing Xu Shu, Liu Wei put his hands behind his back, very indifferently turned his back to the main gate of the dormitory, looked up at the sky, and asked Xu Shu, who seemed to be very calm and did not wait too anxiously.
Hearing Liu Wei speak, Xu Shu hurriedly turned around, bowed to Liu Wei with his fists in his fists, and said to Liu Wei: "His Royal Highness returned yesterday evening, and His Majesty wanted to see him immediately, but he thought that His Highness was happy to add Lin'er, so he pressed it down for the time being, and he didn't come here until this moment. ”
From Xu Shu's expression when he spoke, Liu Wei saw a little solemnity. He smiled, frowned slightly, and said to Xu Shu: "The military advisor has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”
"Earlier, the Xiongnu Right Xian King went to Bei and came to Luoyang, intending to take back the second place!" Putting down his fist-clasping hands, Xu Shu lowered his voice and said to Liu Wei: "Ju Ci is not willing to return to the Xiongnu with Qubei no matter what, His Majesty has entertained Qu Bei, and it is also appropriate to discuss with him, and when His Royal Highness returns, he will find the right time to send Ju Ci back to Hetao!" ”
"There's nothing wrong with that!" From Xu Shu's expression, Liu Wei saw that the matter was far from being as simple as Xu Shu said, he stared at Xu Shu's solemn face without blinking, and asked Xu Shu: "Could it be that the Huns have something to do?" ”
"I don't know who secretly informed the Huns that Ju Ci was killed in Luoyang City!" Under Liu Wei's questioning, Xu Shu's brows tightened, and he said to Liu Wei: "Your Majesty has already received the news that the Xiongnu Youxian King has raised troops from Hetao and has advanced to Henan Yin!" ”
"Please go and meet that again!" Before Xu Shu's words fell, Liu Wei pursed the corners of his mouth, and said to Xu Shu very disapprovingly: "When I see Juji, I don't want to go there anymore!" ”
"Your Highness!" Liu Wei proposed to let Liu Nu meet with Qubei, so as to dispel the idea of going to Beinan to invade the Central Plains, Xu Shu smiled bitterly, hugged his fists and said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness didn't see that such a lame lie can also make the Huns use swords. I'm afraid that the Huns are just looking for an excuse to take advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains and get a piece of the pie. ”
