[Comprehensive] Empress Variations

After Zhou Ehuang left Li Yu's arms, the servants opened the distance between them and Li Yu and Zhou Ehuang.Following from a distance, you can see the two masters and respond when they give orders without disturbing their 'two-person world'.These slaves are very winky.

Xun Ying circled around, and from the traces of dead trees, one could indeed see the shadow of the scene in the painting.On this tree trunk that has lost its vitality, one can vaguely imagine the beauty of blooming vitality in spring and summer.Even now, there is no greenery in this picture, and a few leaves can be vaguely seen under the trunk, which has a special flavor.

"How's the scenery here?!" After the initial silence passed, Li Yu couldn't help but speak.He deliberately emphasized the word 'scenery', and he really didn't want Zhou Ehuang to be immersed in other things because of the scenery here.

He has been paying attention to Zhou Ehuang's flushed cheeks.If there are emotions on that cheek that are not good for her body, such as sadness.He took Zhou Ehuang away directly, even though Zhou Ehuang would still refuse.

Thinking of this, Li Yu didn't realize that his complexion was much paler than Zhou Ehuang's.The two stood together, and at a glance, he looked more like a patient than Zhou Ehuang.Naturally, it was impossible for him to see his complexion, and at this time, no one really reminded him.

"If there is life in spring and summer, the scenery must be as beautiful as the paintings of the lord. Looking at it now, it is also unique and very poignant." Li Yu only talked about the scenery, and Xunying only talked about the scenery.The scenery here is indeed quite good, but now that there are many dead trees, it is obviously a bit bleak.

This kind of scenery has a somewhat poignant feeling.Poignant, but still beautiful.However, if the card is seen in the eyes of a dying person, it may really make people feel a little sad about the passing away.Not all people can face death calmly. Most people will be afraid of death and feel sad because of it.

This should be because Li Yu did not realistically draw the autumn and winter scenes of this place, and spent a lot of effort to fill in the vitality of all the flowers and trees.It's just that what can be filled during painting cannot be filled in reality.No matter how powerful a person is, it is impossible to change the four seasons.

Xun Ying has experienced the apocalypse, and the scenery always has a bit of bloody, lonely and poignant beauty.It is absolutely impossible for this scenery to have much influence on her.However, the people around her didn't think so.

"Ehuang, the scenery here is almost enough, let's go." Li Yu now regrets why he took the extra effort to draw that vibrant landscape.If you just look at the scenery here, I'm afraid you won't have much feeling.

But with that landscape picture for comparison, let's look at the appearance of a dead forest at this time.Even if I didn't feel anything at the beginning, I couldn't help feeling a little bit sad in my heart.If you just look at the scenery in front of you, you may be touched, but it will never be so profound.

The choice he racked his brains to make seemed somewhat clever in the face of the facts.And it's clearly asking for trouble.It seems that since Zhou Nvying appeared, everything he did could go wrong.

Li Yu took Zhou Ehuang's hand and wanted to leave here. The number of steps he took was not large, and Zhou Ehuang followed him at the beginning.But after walking a dozen steps, the people behind him stopped.Li Yu stabilized his thoughts, feeling that his actions just now were somewhat impulsive.

He looked back at Zhou Ehuang, Zhou Ehuang's cheeks were obviously more ruddy than before.There were faint traces of sweat on her forehead, and even her breathing was a little faster than before.Zhou Ehuang is currently in poor health, and has been around for a while this week.Now there are even traces of sweat.

In addition to being gentle and virtuous on the surface, Zhou Ehuang's temperament is obviously a bit stronger. If she really couldn't persevere, she would never stop.

"Master, let's take a rest here." Xun Yu said, holding Li Yu's hand and walking towards the rockery aside.

Before Xun Ying was ready to sit down, Li Yu untied the cloak he was wearing with one hand.Spread it on the corner of the rockery, the stable place where you can sit.The cold wind is blocked by rockery, but it doesn't make people feel cold.Moreover, even if it is cold, he is willing to bear it at this time.

Compared with himself, Li Yu is now more in Zhou Ehuang's body.Zhou Ehuang's physical condition is very poor now, and he feels tired after walking such a long distance.If he catches a cold from sitting on the cold stone again, it will only be more irreversible.

Xun Ying accepted Li Yu's kindness and sat beside the rockery.She glanced around, even if she was sitting in this place now, the dead trees could still cover the figures of the two of them to some extent.If it looks like when the leaves, flowers and plants are lush and lush, it will naturally be even more invisible.

Xun Ying couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips, she turned her head and glanced to the right.Sure enough, he met Ruyun's obviously worried gaze, and a two-point comforting smile appeared on his lips.

"Ehuang, take a good rest." Li Yu subconsciously held him in his arms, and asked Zhou Ehuang to rest his forehead on his shoulder.Looking at Ruyun's unrestrained expression, there was obvious bitterness on his lips.Lowering his head slightly, he could only see the back of Zhou Ehuang's head.

Zhou Ehuang's actions cooperated with him very much, compared to the previous days, he was really less alienated.However, in his opinion, it is not close.Although she often obeyed his movements, she no longer saw the shyness and joy that could be seen on her body at any time.Those things that he took for granted could not be found in Zhou Ehuang now.

I'm afraid even this obedience in her has ulterior motives.At this time, Li Yu felt that Zhou Ehuang wanted to come out to see the scenery, but it might not be for viewing.Whether it was Zhou Ehuang's whim when he saw his painting, or she had already prepared for it.Coming to this place to view the scenery and resting under this rockery made him feel uneasy.

At this time, sitting on the rock where I have sat countless times, the people around me seem to be constantly changing.He didn't have the achievement of embracing both beauty, but only deep regret and shame.He wished he could go back to the time when everything hadn't happened yet, and start over again.At that time, he will definitely only love one person, and he will never have extra thoughts.

It's a pity that there is no medicine for regret in the world.Reincarnation has always only turned in one direction.

Li Yu felt that his heart was being cut by a dagger, and he, the emperor, seemed to understand the so-called pain of Ling Chi.The source of this pain is the person in his arms, but he has no intention of letting go, instead he wants to hold the person tightly in his arms.

Even if you know, she is a 'blade'.

"Master, let's go back." Xun Ying didn't see Li Yu's expression, but he also knew that he would never feel good.

"Okay." Li Yu's voice was hoarse.He didn't let Zhou Ehuang go by himself this time, he picked him up by himself.Just like when you came here, your steps are steady.His surface emotions seemed unusually stable, and it was impossible for people to guess his thoughts at this time.Only he himself understands that some things are destined to have carved indelible marks in his heart.

……

With the experience of going out for the first time, Zhou Ehuang no longer lay on his bed or couch all day like in the past.Every day, I will go out for a walk with Li Yu's company.Especially after the imperial physician said that a little exercise might be good for Zhou Ehuang's body.This makes Li Yu never tired of it.

Except for the first time that Zhou Ehuang asked to go there to see the scenery, Li Yu made the arrangements afterwards.Li Yu is an elegant person, and his vision is naturally good.As an emperor, he is also quite familiar with the palace.The place where you take Zhou Ehuang to appreciate must be a place with beautiful scenery.

The only regret is that in this season, only a few kinds of evergreen trees are still green, and there is no way to see the vibrant scene.With the first experience, Li Yu never mentioned the matter of painting again, especially looking at the scenery to create scenes in spring and summer.Most of his paintings now are portraits, in which are Zhou Ehuang in various poses.

Now the two of them have almost left their footsteps in the scenic part of the palace.

Xun Ying looked at the woman in the bronze mirror, she was not like in the past, she was always dressed in noble and gorgeous red.The sky blue placket made her already slender frame stand out.The elegant makeup well concealed Zhou Ehuang's increasingly pale face these days, bringing her beauty to the extreme.

Li Yu stood behind her, combing her long hair that seemed to be drier than before.Be extra careful between actions.From the first time Li Yu went out to accompany Zhou Ehuang to see the scenery, he seemed to be interested in Zhou Ehuang's long hair.

Every time after that, Li Yu not only put on clothes for Zhou Ehuang himself, but also took care of his hair by himself.From being a little rusty at the beginning, it is now obviously a lot more proficient.The bun he pulled out for Zhou Ehuang also became more and more complicated.

Li Yu hides the long hair that fell from the comb in the palm of his hand without any trace, so that Zhou Ehuang will not notice.He moved his hands carefully, as if he was afraid of touching a glass doll.

There is always a smile on Li Yu's lips, but when he lowers his head, there is always a little panic in his eyes.These days, he was by Zhou Ehuang's side almost every day, and even state affairs were handled in Zhou Ehuang's dormitory.It seemed that only when he raised his head and could see Zhou Ehuang could he feel at ease.If he couldn't see it, he always felt that something was missing.Worrying about gains and losses...

It's just that he knows that Zhou Ehuang's time is really numbered.Even though Zhou Ehuang seemed to be in good spirits, her complexion became paler day by day.From those paintings of his, the changes can already be clearly seen.Especially the complexion he painted for her on the first day and the painting he drew recently, the two scrolls, he didn't even dare to compare them.

Li Yu knew that these days, he did not raise Zhou Ehuang's survival instinct as he wished, but he himself was affected a lot.If he wasn't the lord of the country, he could almost be sure that if something happened to Zhou Ehuang, he would probably follow him.

'There are three days at most. Thinking of what the imperial physician said, Li Yu wanted to show that slightly painful expression.Then when the expression is about to be discovered by others, put on that gentle smile so that no one will notice.In the last days, he didn't want Zhou Ehuang to be as uneasy as he was.

"Master, where are we going today?!" Xun Ying watched as Li Yu combed her hair.The woman in the bronze mirror lost a bit of her majesty in formal attire, and more of a woman's delicacy.Her dress is not like the clothes in the palace, and Li Yu behind her is wearing a suit of clothes today, and there is no trace of revealing her identity.

"Ehuang has been in the palace for so many years, and he rarely leaves the palace. Today I will take you out for a walk." Li Yu said his decision.

They have already seen almost all the scenery that can be seen in this palace, and it is not attractive to look at it again.It's better to go outside the palace and let Zhou Ehuang see some different scenes.There are many people in the palace who are very curious about the outside of the palace, and he is willing to satisfy Zhou Ehuang's curiosity.

"Thank you, my lord." Xun Ying's face flushed a little more.It could be seen that she was really moved.

Xun Ying occasionally mentioned to Ruyun that there must be different scenery outside the palace. Her words seemed to be unintentional, but they were actually intentional.How could she not know that Li Yu has been monitoring her every move now.It's like raising a canary in captivity, willing to give her everything she wants.Even if she is just a joke, Li Yu will make proper arrangements for her.

"There's no need to be too polite." Li Yu felt a bit bitter in his heart, no matter what time Zhou Ehuang faced him, he was always well-mannered.He really wanted Zhou Ehuang to be more casual and get closer to him. He didn't need so many etiquettes, and only showed his truest side.

However, he also knew that Zhou Ehuang was different from Zhou Nvying.No matter how close she is, she will always keep the bottom line.If one day she really stopped observing etiquette, she would not be the Zhou Ehuang in his mind.

Li Yu felt too much helplessness in Zhou Ehuang, and he, the lord of the country, had already begun to feel used to it.

Li Yu carried Zhou Ehuang to the carriage, which was already covered with soft fox fur.When people sit in it, they can only feel a slight vibration and will not feel uncomfortable.There are two noble people sitting inside, especially one of them is notoriously in poor health, the groom will naturally be more careful.

The carriage left the palace very smoothly, and there was not much excitement on Xun Ying's face.But when she passed the market and heard the cries outside the carriage, her eyes lit up obviously, but she didn't speak.

"Stop." Li Yu was naturally the first to discover Zhou Ehuang's interest.Even though his original arrangement was not in this market, since Zhou Ehuang liked it, he was willing to change his original plan for her. "Ehuang, do you want to go down for a walk? Although the things outside are not as exquisite as those at home, there are still many interesting gadgets."

As an emperor, Li Yu rarely has leisure time to go out of the palace, especially in a noisy place like the market.The more people, the greater the danger.Even if he had a lot of guards around him, he wouldn't be in the mood to wander around the market.The understanding of this market is actually hearsay.

"Good!" Xun Ying naturally agreed.

Li Yu put on a scarf for Zhou Ehuang, concealing Zhou Ehuang's extremely perfect face in his eyes.Only then did he get off the carriage, and then carefully half-supported and half-carried Zhou Ehuang down.When Zhou Ehuang came down, he obviously felt that there were many more eyes around him.

Even with the cover of the veil, one can still see Zhou Ehuang's graceful figure, as well as the temperament that cannot be wiped out among the crowd.A pair of slightly curious eyes is even more exciting.Those who saw her couldn't help but want to lift the veil on her face, wanting to take a look at the hidden face.

Li Yu frowned slightly, with a hint of displeasure on his face.Seeing the curiosity in Zhou Ehuang's eyes, he suppressed his regret.Reaching out to hold Xun Ying's hand in his own, the possessive desire is particularly obvious.

Nan Tang was still conservative, if it wasn't for husband and wife, they would definitely not have such intimacy.The two of them were fully dressed, and they looked like they were either rich or expensive, and soon a lot of eyes shifted.Only then did Li Yu restrain his displeasure on his face.

"Where do you want to go?!" Li Yu lowered his head and asked Zhou Ehuang.

Zhou Ehuang took Li Yu's hand and walked towards the stall on the side. She reached out and picked up a few carving handles to play with.As long as she shows something she likes, Li Yu will directly buy it with money.The guards who followed closely behind the two also had their new purpose.

Zhao Kuangyin was sitting in the restaurant, taking a sip from the wine glass from time to time, and beside him was a black gauze hat that could cover his face.Now that he is an emperor, it stands to reason that he should not take the risk of coming to an enemy country, let alone Kyoto.However, if you want to win every battle, you really need to know yourself and your enemy.

Just as most people think that the emperor needs to sit in the capital, few people think that he will set foot here in person.As long as no one discovers his identity, he is safe.As for him, it is naturally impossible for people to discover his identity.

Zhao Kuangyin looked over when the woman in blue got out of the carriage. From the exquisite carriage, he could see that the people in the carriage were either rich or noble.After the two got off the carriage, he confirmed his thoughts even more.However, from his current position, he could really only see the backs of the two of them.

That girl's figure is indeed rare, but it's a pity that she was born in the Southern Tang Dynasty.Zhao Kuangyin did not hide his liking for beauty, and there are very few men who do not love beauty.But every man who can do great things must not be addicted to beauty.For women from the enemy country, he was really a bit insensitive.

Yes, it is an enemy country.At the beginning of Zhao Kuangyin's accession to the throne, he had the idea of ​​​​wanting to dominate the world.Although the ruler of the Southern Tang Dynasty had some respect for Song Dynasty, it was not his own land after all.

Thinking of this, his interest in the woman in blue has diminished a bit.Just when he was about to look away, he met a pair of eyes from a distance.

Xun Ying and Li Yu looked at the stalls one by one. Naturally, what they like is not some food, but some folk gadgets, which attract her attention even more.In this way, the walking speed is naturally not slow.The place where they got off was close to the restaurant, but now it is even under the restaurant.

Xun Ying noticed that someone was looking at them with scrutinizing eyes, so she raised her head subconsciously and met someone's eyes.Li Yu tends to be gentle both in appearance and personality, like a gentle jade.And the person she saw at this time was like a sword drawn from its sheath.The facial features tend to be more cold and hard, with particularly obvious outlines, and the temperament of the whole body is also obviously cold.

With just one glance, Xun Ying knew the identity in front of her.It wasn't because of his face, neither Xun Ying himself nor Zhou Ehuang had the chance to get in touch with Zhao Kuangyin.However, the yang energy that is many times greater than that of ordinary men, except for the emperor, is rarely possessed by anyone.

However, although Zhao Kuangyin has a lot of yang, it is not as good as Li Yu.Xun Ying was a little perplexed, she thought that a person with more yang energy would be more able to rule the world.There is so much yang energy in Li Yu's body, but in the end he was defeated by Zhao Kuangyin.

Although confused, Xun Ying let go of her mind.Since Li Yu is indeed a raider, she can relax a bit.There is no need to act with another man as another man's wife.

Under the influence of modern thinking, Xun Ying doesn't think it's a good thing to do so.But in this era, if a woman can't be consistent, no matter how good she is, she will be despised.

"What's wrong?!" Li Yu followed Zhou Ehuang's gaze and looked up, but didn't see anyone.All I saw was an open window, and a gauze hat and a wine glass were placed on the table inside.

"It's nothing." Xun Ying raised the corners of her lips slightly, and put her mind back on these gadgets.There are many things she really likes. The wisdom of the ancient working people has never been underestimated.It's a pity that no matter how much she likes her, it's impossible for her to really belong to him.

After the two looked away, Zhao Kuangyin sat upright again from the reclining posture.He picked up the wine glass, but he didn't put it to his lips.

The woman's gaze was too stable, even if she met his eyes, she didn't flinch because of the sharpness.Even still maintained that calm appearance.For the first time, Zhao Kuangyin felt that he was actually not that good.This suspicion came from a woman.Still a woman who met by chance.

The person next to the woman, if he was not mistaken, should be Li Yu, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty.The woman next to Li Yu is the well-known Queen Zhou? !Zhao Kuangyin had long heard that this Empress Zhou was very good at rhythm and temperament... The rumors were full of praise, and there was hardly a word of reprimand.

But Zhao Kuangyin did not believe that such a perfect woman existed.When he met that look today, he recognized him a little more.If it is such a woman, probably really can achieve 'perfect'.
