Qiong Lou

Chapter 3

The place is very big, Xiwei looked flustered, the charcoal was burning in the smoker cage, but it was cold outside, Xiwei tossed and turned, it was difficult to fall asleep, and she didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night.

In the morning, I felt someone touching my face, and I could guess that it was Liu An with my toes, so I continued to sleep, and it was so embarrassing to open my eyes.

"You're awake and don't want to open your eyes to look at me?" Liu'an was still stroking Xiwei's face, Xiwei took a deep breath and opened his eyes to look at him.

"You can really sleep, you didn't wake up until I was here for half an hour." After Xiwei got up, Liu An got up and picked up the comb to comb his long hair, "You don't like maids serving you, I will give you Mobai , served me before." Xi Wei didn't want to know what kind of "servant" it was.

Liu An put down the comb, "Mobai, wash and change clothes for Xiwei."

"Yes." The voice is clear and clear. She looks about fifteen or sixteen years old, her eyes are cut, her lips are red and her teeth are white, and her black hair is loosely coiled by a wooden hairpin. She is very cute.

"Eat something later, I'll take you out for a walk." Liu An sat on the wooden chair next to him.

Mobai helped Xiwei wash up, he was very skilled, Xiwei thought to himself, how many years of practice it took.

After Xiwei finished eating and rinsed his mouth again, Liu An took the cloak in Mobai's hand and put it on Xiwei, pulling him, "It's still snowing now, so wear it thicker."

After walking for nearly half an hour before stopping, a woman stood in front of her, burning paper money.

Xi Wei is puzzled, can paper money be burned in the palace?He glanced at Liu An.

Liu An just said, "Let her go."

"Yan'er." The woman sensed the arrival of the two, so Liu An pulled Xi Wei over.

The woman looked at Xiwei carefully, "This is Xiwei, she is really handsome." The story of Xiwei has spread in the palace.

Without waiting for Liu An's introduction, Xiwei saluted her.

"Queen Mother, it's cold today, you should go back." Liu An signaled the following maid to open an umbrella.

"Xi Wei is so kind, so kind..." The answer was not what the question asked, "It's cold, burn some money for her, it will be easier over there, she is my mother after all."

Liu An didn't want her to stay longer, "Queen Mother, you can go back."

The Queen Mother looked at Xiwei again, "Oh, King Xie Sheng is concerned." Then she turned and went back.

Xiwei muttered in a low voice, Liu An saw her walking away before telling Xiwei.

The Empress Dowager was originally a princess of the previous dynasty, but became the concubine of King Liu'an after the defeat. She is only 24 now, and she is a poor person.

"Then why is her mother buried here?" This is too strange, buried in the palace, and there is only a tombstone with only the name on it, Lin Ling.

"This is the tombstone of the queen of the previous dynasty. She is from Kushi. She is only the mother of the queen mother in name, and she is not the biological mother of the queen mother. I heard that she treated the queen mother very well during her lifetime." Liu An stepped forward to wipe the tombstone, "Today is the Her death day."

This is also the purpose of bringing hope for the future today, "Today happens to be her death day, so I will take you out for a walk." He continued to wipe the tombstone, "It is not worth dying for such a woman."

Liu'an didn't stay here for a long time, and took Xiwei to walk back slowly, and said as he walked: "I was young at that time, and I saw her die by the sword of my father with my own eyes. I respected her. She was not afraid of the enemy at all. Bury her, but my father is unwilling. But my father can't hold me back, but there is only this tombstone at the place where she fell, and her body is the same as other soldiers who died in battle..." Thinking of her at that time, although she was weak and so strong.

Xi Wei saw that the tombstone fell down at the corner between the wall and the room...

"She is your enemy, and you still respect her?" No matter how much you reverence, you are also an enemy.

Liu An was stunned for a moment, then said: "The enemy is often worthy of admiration, because the enemy dares to resist you, rather than fear you."

Xi Wei felt that what he said seemed quite reasonable, so she nodded her head in agreement.

The two walked side by side, stepping on the snow, talking about Xiwei herself, and about the old bustard in Shenqinglou, that old bustard's name is Pengying.

It was still during the war, and Pengying was running for her life, but she heard the cry of a baby. Pengying found the baby in the arms of the dead woman. This was Xiwei.

He also said that the scars on his shoulders were also left at that time. When Xiwei was found, there were fragments pierced into his shoulders. Maybe they were scattered objects on the battlefield. Soon, he was stabbed again, but fortunately he didn't hurt his life, only a scar was left.

Afterwards, Pengying took Xiwei with her all the time, and the name was also given by Pengying, although it was chosen casually... Only when the war subsided, did she plan to start her future life.Pengying is a young lady from a certain family. When the war started, the family hid money and found some surviving servants, so she started a business that makes money quickly and does not worry about women having children.

Xiwei is very happy when talking about Pengying, but she never calls her "sister", saying that doing so will arouse the suspicion of the brothels.

Xi Wei said helplessly: "In the beginning I was always bullied when I was doing this job, and I knew I was pretty, so I wanted to help her, but in the end she just asked me to play the piano for the guests."

Liu An understands the relationship between the two and knows Pengying's protection of Xiwei.

When he returned to the bedroom, Mo Bai had already finished the smoke cage, and when he saw the two of them coming back, he bowed respectfully, "Prince Sheng, my lord, come to this cage to warm up."

The two took off their cloaks and stretched out their hands in front of the smoker to warm them, but Xiwei rubbed her hands absent-mindedly.

"What are you thinking about?" Liu'an held Xiwei's hand.

"I want to write a letter to my mother to keep her safe, can I send the letter?" Xi Wei thought that there were many rules in the palace.

"Of course." Liu An agreed.

Xi Wei breathed out, "I thought the palace was strict and wouldn't allow writing."

"It's not inhumane." Liu'an rubbed Xiwei's hands.

Xiwei spent the rest of the day writing letters, one for Pengying and one for Zizheng, and Zizheng's letter was wrapped in Pengying's letter.

Liu An didn't read the content of the letter, so he asked someone to deliver it, and after sending the letter, Xi Wei felt relieved and stayed with Liu An all the time.

The two had dinner together, talked for a while, then Liu An left, probably because he was worried that Xi Wei was still on guard, so he didn't stay any longer.

Xiwei slept very well that night and had no dreams.

Washing up and having dinner in the morning, I felt bored after reading a few pages of the book, so I had to chat with Mobai, and the chat was naturally about Liu'an.

Xiwei came up and asked, "What kind of person is Liu An?" He only knew that he was the king, and Mo Zizheng wanted to serve him.I didn't get along with Liu An for a long time, so I had to ask Mo Bai.

Mo Bai thought for a long time but couldn't think of any words to describe Liu An, "Prince Sheng... is a wise king."

Xiwei laughed when provoked, "Of course it's Mingjun." Mo Bai watched him smile, and he laughed a couple of times embarrassedly.

Mobai is not yet sixteen, two years younger than Xiwei, Xiwei sees him like a younger brother and asks him to continue talking.

Mo Bai thought for a long time before continuing, "It's the king."

Xiwei wanted to laugh again, why couldn't he ask anything useful, but Mo Bai's words reminded him that being with you is like being with a tiger.
