Sweet Beauty

In the bathroom, it was steaming hot and misty.

Liu Yu was leaning against the tub, sweat dripping from his forehead, and he was in a trance.

No wonder not long ago, that little woman was always dazed by herself, her face was red from time to time, and she looked shy and cowardly.

Not to mention her, as a man, when he saw something like that, he couldn't resist the agitation in his heart. He was sitting in the tub at the moment, as if being cast by scalding molten iron.

But why does she have this?

Thinking of this, the blue veins on his forehead throbbed, and a not-so-good idea popped up in his heart—

Needless to say, 80% of it was given to her by Zhao You's wife. Could it be that she was quite dissatisfied with his behavior when he did that, and complained quietly to his sister-in-law when he got home?

The vivid pictures just now floated past before his eyes again, and his eyes that were hidden behind the mist became more and more dim.

It is true that for many years, he has never been close to women. He only got married when he was over twenty-six years old.

Although he has some self-knowledge, if even his wife is dissatisfied, where will he put his face as a husband?

His face gradually became serious.

…

When Ah Shu sent the two children back to Feng Ni's place, she lingered for a while, carefully inquired about their diet and daily life, and finally instructed the nurse and the maid to take good care of them.

It's not that she wants to be a good person, it's just that she was born in a strong family, and understands the ability of ordinary people to look at their faces and act.

Although Liu Yu ordered not to be neglected, he did not always take care of her; no matter how majestic Feng Yu was, she was not a serious elder. As a queen, she must take a caring attitude in order to teach people to understand that the status of the two young sons, as before, cannot be doubted.

After such a time, it fell into Feng Er's quietly observing eyes, and felt more gratified.

When Ah Shu returned to the house, someone had already come to report the king's return.

She was surprised at his early return, and couldn't help but quicken her pace. But who knew that she stepped into the house, and before she could meet, she only saw him hurriedly entering the bath room. For some reason, she could see some embarrassment and panic from the straight back.

Ah Shu and Que'er looked at each other, and hurriedly called the maid to ask, "What is the king doing in the house?"

The maid was sent outside by Liu Yu long ago. He didn't know the inside story, so he lowered his brows and pleaded with his eyes: "The king was alone in the room. He seemed to be looking for something, and he didn't let the maid in."

Ah Shu looked around, seeing that the house was indeed a little messy, and suddenly felt a little uneasy in her heart. After ordering someone to go down first, she carefully walked to the box where the small wooden box was hidden. Seeing that it was still in the same place, Fang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Xiu didn't know how long he stayed in the bath room. When he came out, he was no longer nervous and nervous, and Qing Jun's face regained the calm and gentleness of the usual days.

However, I don't know if it was an illusion, Ashu always felt that he avoided her sight intentionally or unintentionally, and inadvertently peeped at her secretly.

She was surprised, for fear that her outfit was inappropriate, so she hurriedly took a careful picture in front of the bronze mirror. Only after closing his black hair and clothes, he caught a glimpse of his peeping gaze in the bronze mirror.

She couldn't help frowning, and while removing the extra hairpin from her hair, letting her black hair hang down, she asked, "Have you found what the king was looking for?"

The lacquer cup that Liu Yucai raised to his lips suddenly stagnated, and Jun Rong flashed a suspicious blush.

He coughed lightly and said calmly: "The sachet you gave me earlier, I used to take it with me every day, and it fell on the last expedition, and I never found it."

Whenever Ah Shu mentioned the sachet, she would always feel embarrassed. At this moment, she didn't ask any more questions. She called her maid in and found it in the box where she usually stored belts, jade pendants and other items.

Liu Yu's face was pale, and he pretended to be fine. He filled the sachet with spices and put it on his belt, ready to wear it tomorrow.

This matter should have been revealed at this point, but it was only in the middle of the night that Ah Shu really felt that something was wrong.

Liu Xiu loves her beauty, and has a gentle temperament. Although he loves tossing her, he is also measured in the end, but today he is extraordinarily unrelenting. Not only does he ask her "comfortable or not" in her ear from time to time, but he also uses all means to force her to respond. , until she was confused and begged for mercy again and again, and Fang Yan died.

In the drowsiness, she squinted and lay on her side, just about to fall asleep in chaos, but suddenly a flash in her mind, the whole person froze immediately—

Just now, when the two of them were intimate, he played with her with great interest, and she couldn't help but think of the picture painted in the wooden box presented by the sister-in-law...

Suddenly, her face flushed red, and she quietly stared at Liu Xiong with her eyes closed through the darkness.

Did he find out?

…

On the second day, Liu Yu got up early in the morning as usual, and before leaving, he explained the time of his return, and then instructed: "The angels from Chang'an will arrive in these two days, and the governors of Julu, Changshan, Wei and other places will also be there. At that time, there will be a banquet, so make preparations early."

He had received news yesterday that the messenger came here, in addition to ordering him to send troops to attack Liangyu in Bingzhou, he should also reappoint officials in Jizhou. By then, the situation in Hebei will change again, so he must make plans early.

Ah Shu nodded her head quickly, and asked two more details about the staff before sending him out of the house.

Before parting, she looked at his unremarkable face and hesitated several times until he asked suspiciously, and she blushed again and couldn't say a word.

Liu Yu was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought of something, his face turned slightly red, he coughed lightly, stopped looking at her, turned and walked away quickly.

Ah Shu hesitated for a moment, then went back to the house and quietly opened the small wooden box.

The silk and silk in the box were all there, but they were not as neat as they were when she closed them last time, but were scattered and scattered in one place, apparently being turned over.

Her cheeks were getting hotter, and she felt shy. He certainly saw it.

…

Because of the need to welcome the envoy of the Son of Heaven, this banquet was more troublesome than the previous ones, and no mistakes could be made.

Although Ah Shu had some experience, she was still young, so she deliberately asked Feng Mi to discuss with her.

Feng Ni strictly abides by her duties as a servant, and does not dare to pretend to be an elder. She only observes from the sidelines, and when Shu is hesitant, Fang makes suggestions.

She looked at the young queen now, and was a little more agreeable than yesterday.

Previously, Liu Kuo was forced to marry the daughter of this enemy due to the situation. For example, Liu Zhao, Mrs. Fan, etc. were all dissatisfied. As an old servant of the old lady, Feng Li was almost regarded as a sister with a different surname before the old lady died. Although she did not dislike Zhao Ji, she would never love her too much.

It was only yesterday that she saw that Zhao Ji was an honest person, did not hold grudges very much, and even had goodwill towards the two young young masters, and this changed a little. Today, I will follow Zhao Ji to prepare the reception banquet. Although I am not very careful and thoughtful because of my young age, I am prudent, methodical, and very measured.

She then applauded secretly, and ordered Liu Zhao to be invited, and asked her to follow Zhao Ji's side to learn.

Liu Zhao was naturally reluctant, and caught Feng Er's stern gaze, he didn't dare to make a fuss, he just lowered his head and complained in a low voice, "I can't help you if you want me to be here."

Ah Shu was already familiar with Liu Zhao's temperament, she knew that she was speaking at the moment, and she wanted to teach her to bear grudges.

Feng Ni's face turned cold and she said solemnly, "Young Master Ah Zhao knows that he can't help, so he has to study hard. In two years' time, he will get married, and sooner or later he will learn how to manage a family. The son's grandmother and mother have already No longer, naturally follow the Queen to learn."

Liu Zhao was dissatisfied, and he couldn't find anything to refute for a while. He was even more afraid that he would be fined for copying the book if he accidentally copied the book. There are some traces of gloating in order to prove his guess - Zhao Ji's heart is as bad as the Queen Mother in Chang'an City.

But she glanced at it several times, but she couldn't find any sarcasm.

Liu Zhao suddenly felt a little depressed.

After such a long time, she finally had to admit that Zhao Ji was indeed beautiful.

As a woman, she felt that it was difficult to ignore, and Brother A was afraid that it would be even more difficult to resist.

Seeing that he couldn't get out, Liu Zhao had to follow him obediently, watching Ah Shu take care of those trivial matters.

Preparing for a reception banquet may seem easy, but in fact it is very easy. For example, the utensils used on that day, from the table and the table, the wine bottles, the dishes, the bells, drums, instruments, lights and cooking utensils, all need to be checked by the queen one by one, not to mention the wine and food, music and dance, cooks, servants, etc. need to be arranged. appropriate.

Liu Zhao followed all the way, only to feel exhausted and dazzled, only then did he realize how many and complicated family affairs were.

In the evening, when everyone rested and Ah Shu went back to the house, Feng Mi left Liu Zhao behind, and rarely allowed her to sit with her legs stretched out regardless of etiquette, and poured her a cup of thirst-quenching physalis for her, Fang Rao asked with a kind smile, "Ah Master Zhao, how are you?"

Liu Zhao didn't dare to be presumptuous, took a sip of the syrup, and resumed sitting upright under Feng's eyes. Fang Ji reluctantly admitted, "Zhao Ji-Second Sister-in-law really worked hard today."

After she finished speaking, she secretly slandered: But that can't change Zhao Ji's identity as the daughter of the empress dowager. How can such a deep hatred be offset by a day's hard work?

Feng Nuo saw through her thoughts that she couldn't hide at a glance, and couldn't help but sighed and said, "Young Master Ah Zhao, your background is predestined and cannot be changed. The maid has no other words, I just hope that the son will understand one day. That makes sense."

Liu Zhao was still ignorant.

Feng Li also ordered someone to fetch the soup that had just been simmered, and asked her to take it with her to greet the queen.

…

In the room, Ah Shu finally took a rest, leaned lazily on the edge of the couch, and lightly beat her sore legs one after another, with a tired look on her face.

I was tossed about by Liu Xiu for a long time last night, and today I was busy for a moment, so I couldn't hold it anymore.

But it didn't take long for her to catch her breath, but she heard the servant girl outside: "The young lady is here."

Liu Zhao actually came to say hello again.

Ah Shu was a little surprised, thinking that Liu Zhao would never want to see her again, no matter what. However, after thinking about it, it was probably what Feng Li meant.

Although she didn't know why Feng Li treated her so favorably, she was different from others in this family, but she was very grateful in her heart.

Liu Zhao approached gradually, holding a boxy food box in his hand, but stopped outside the door, scribbled a salute, and handed out the food box, not wanting to enter any more.

Ah Shu was surprised that she would give food, but before she received it, she heard footsteps.

The two of them followed the prestige together, and saw that Liu Yu was walking back home, and at this moment, they looked at her with a little surprise.

Liu Zhao has always been against Ah Shu, but when the elder brother saw that he respectfully came to deliver the soup, he consciously lost face. , without waiting for everyone to react, he trotted away with a sullen face.

Ah Shu was stunned for a moment, then silently opened the food box and looked at the hot soup inside.

Although she knew that it was definitely Feng's advice, she still couldn't help being flattered.

Compared with her brother, Liu Zhao's stubborn temper was worse than that of her brother. Today's willingness to send soup to this "heinous" person has probably broken the bottom line.

I can't say how happy I am, but my heart still moved slightly.

She picked up the wooden spoon and scooped the hot soup into her mouth.

Liu Yu strode into the room and sat down directly beside her. He followed her with a wooden spoon and asked, "Is this from Ah Zhao?"

Ah Shu finally couldn't help but raised her lips and raised her eyebrows. She nodded with some pride and emotion, "That's right. When I was handling affairs today, my uncles and sisters also watched meticulously. Now this soup, although 80% of it is Feng's idea, but the uncle and sister brought it personally."

Liu Xiu looked at her lively and charming face, her heart suddenly sour, and her eyes darkened a little.

When he made up his mind to marry Zhao Ji, he no longer expected his relatives to be harmonious and intimate with her.

In the past subconsciously, he made a clear distinction between her and his sister, sister-in-law, and even Po Nu and Adai. The former was the wife who was forced to marry, and the latter was the blood relative who really wanted to keep his heart. .

Even later, he gradually saw his strange obsession with Zhao Ji, and when he calmly possessed her beauty, he still did not compare her with his relatives.

He disciplined the elder sister-in-law only because she had misbehaved and committed crimes, and was unbearable to be a mother and an elder; he restrained Ah Zhao only because she was a woman, favored by her young age, reckless, and did not know how to advance or retreat. Teach, there will be more trouble in the future.

His anger was never because of their heartfelt disgust for Zhao Ji.

Even he himself, ashamed of Zhao Ji, was born to be spoiled for taking care of her, but after marrying him, he suffered a lot of grievances. But she never thought in her heart that one day she would be able to let go of her past suspicions with Ah Zhao, get along in harmony, and be truly as close as a family.

Until just now.

He suddenly found that he didn't know when he had begun to expect that the wife he had asked for in person would be accepted and recognized by his relatives.
