Chapter 51: The thrush is deep and shallow
Before the end of the day, I opened my eyes, which seemed to have become a habit that was difficult to change, and every time the sky was still gray and hazy, I would wake up at this hour, whether it was windy or rainy, or frost and rain.
habitually touched his side, but he didn't find the figure of Yiren, and suddenly he was a little flustered, propped up half of his body, and looked around looking for her figure......
At this time, I realized that habits are such terrible things, because once they become habits, when the qiΔ in front of you does not appear as expected, you will suffer from gains and losses, and you will feel restless.
When I saw the figure I was thinking about and was dressing in the mirror not far away, the sudden panic was just scaring myself, and I smiled bitterly, when did I start to fool myself into a fool, and I was just for her!
I pulled back the thin quilt on my body, sat up on the edge of the bed, put on my boots, and just stared blankly at her in the mirror, from which she was also looking at me, and suddenly there was a smile on her face.
Suddenly, I thought of a sentence that matched this situation, and I couldn't help it, so I read it out and said:
"The head of the mantis is eyebrows, smiling and smiling, and the eyes are beautiful. β
I saw Yiren combing his long black straight hair, and when he heard what he said, he smiled but didn't say anything. I saw that today she was dressed in a plain gown, delicate and graceful, and her figure was outstanding, but she was even more charming than before. Looking at the waist, the white jade ring pendant that had been accompanying him had long disappeared, but it was replaced by a concentric knot that was not very elaborate.
I couldn't help but smirk a few times, touched my head embarrassedly, and then looked at the Yiren in the mirror, and I was so fascinated that I didn't want to look away anymore.
Suddenly, I remembered that Yang Anyuan had told me about a strange thing, saying that there was a banshee hidden in the mirror, charming and breathtaking, specializing in confusing men, sucking their essence and blood, and taking their lives. After listening to it, when I lamented the absurdity of this story, I was a little curious about how beautiful the banshee in the mirror must be, so as to confuse the man and let the banshee pay for her life.
Now looking at her from the mirror, I feel the banshee in the mirror, that's it!
Seeing that I had been staring at her intently, the princess's face flushed slightly, and she said:
"Isn't it a public holiday today, it's rare that you don't have to go to court, why don't you sleep more?"
If I slept a little longer, wouldn't I not see the beautiful scene of the Yiren grooming in the mirror, it seems that the early birds have worms, this sentence is true.
"Heh, I almost forgot that I don't have to go to court today, maybe I'm used to it, and I will naturally wake up at this hour!"
I couldn't sit still by the bed, so I stood up and walked directly to her, stroked her long black hair, and hugged her from behind with some pity, as if only by holding her in my arms could my heart be more steady.
"Good morning, princess!"
Looking at me in the mirror with a smile on my face, the princess stretched out her hand to caress my face, and said with a smile:
"Morning, colt, did you sleep soundly last night?"
Thinking that he had taken advantage of the danger of others last night and done a bad thing, his eyes blinked, but he didn't dare to look at the princess's eyes, so he nodded hurriedly and said:
"Well, you slept soundly, and the princess slept well?"
A sly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, wanting to find out if the princess had really slept last night.
"It's good, I woke up with something extra in my hand. β
The princess pointed to me and stared at me with a smile on her face.
"Do you like it, concentric knots?"
I hugged my daughter-in-law in my arms with a happy face, and my little face was as red as a persimmon.
"I like what you sent, although this concentric knot is not very delicate......
The princess had a sneering look on her face, and she knew she was teasing me.
I was worried that the princess would not look down on me, so I was anxious, and hurriedly said:
"It's inevitable that the first time I'm making it up, it's going to be ugly, or you can pay me back first, and I'll ......give it to you when I make it look better and more refined."
When the princess heard this, she laughed, turned to my face, and said softly:
"Fool, there is no reason to go back to what you have sent. I love it, I love that it's unique, because you made it up for me. You have a mind, I know. My heart rejoices, really!"
In a word, I was ecstatic, she had such a magic power, controlling my thoughts, pulling all my joys, sorrows, and sorrows.
I think I'm obsessed!
"Princess, why don't you let the colt paint your eyebrows?"
The princess's Emei is very good-looking, the distant mountain eyebrows, the more like the spring mountain, the eyebrows are picturesque, fascinating.
I like to draw beautiful pictures, in addition to the smart eyes that like to paint beauties, my favorite painting is this pair of new eyebrows.
When the princess heard this, she was stunned at first, as if she never thought that I could also thrush, but when she thought about it, the wonderful pen and flower scroll in the beauty picture, she felt that the thrush must not be difficult for me.
After thinking for a moment, I immediately agreed, and when the princess sat upright, I picked up the eyebrow pencil, smiling but slightly nervous, and began to draw the princess's eyebrows one stroke at a time.
I only know that I have never been as nervous and excited as I am now, and I have never been as focused and dexterous as I am at this moment, the thrush seems simple, but it makes me give birth to the pursuit of perfection, I always feel that this is too much, and one less painting is insufficient, it is really a mixed blessing, and it is not relaxed!
Finally drew the eyebrows depicted in my heart, a sense of accomplishment spontaneously arose, I let the origin, so that the princess could also see the beauty in the mirror, a moment later, brushing the eyebrows, she also unconsciously showed a little appreciation.
Seeing the princess's happy eyebrows, I couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and said:
"It is rumored that Jing Zhaomei is a foreign woman, I don't know how he gave birth to a painting method?"
Jing Zhaomei is talking about an allusion.
During the Han Dynasty, Zhang Chang of the official residence of Jing Zhaoyin was an official and upright, but he was very affectionate with his wife, and the couple had a deep affection, when his wife was dressing up in the mirror, Zhang Chang put a pen thrush for his wife, and because of this, Zhang Chang was laughed at by Chang'an people as "Zhang Zhaoyin Meiwen", which is the origin of Jingzhao Mei's allusion.
"Scholars mostly regard themselves as high-minded, aren't you afraid that this thrush will come out, and after that Zhang Chang, there will be a laugh after dinner?"
The princess looked at me with a smile on her face, wanting to see what I thought about the matter.
I laughed a few times and said:
"If they want to speak, let them go, and how can they know that they are not envious and jealous? I really appreciate that Zhang Chang doesn't care about it, but thinks it's fun!"
My answer is also a follow-up to Jing Zhaomei's story.
Later, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty learned about this and asked Zhang Chang, who said: "The ministers heard that in the boudoir, the privacy of husband and wife is more than that of thrushes. When the emperor heard this, because he cherished Zhang Chang's talent, he did not reproach him much for this matter.
In the end, this "Jingzhao thrush" has become a story for the ages!
"Princess, if you like me, you can give you a thrush every day, and maybe you can make a story for the ages!"
The corners of my mouth went up, and I thought it was a good plan, and I would like to thrush her every day, so that she would only look at me every day.
"You~ do you want to give me a thrush, or do you want to make a good story with this?"
The princess gave me a blank look, but her tone was full of doting.
"At the same time, that Zhang Chang has not lost half a point of love for his wife because of his short-term appearance, how can I not be as good as Zhang Chang, I only wish to be able to paint thrushes for you for a lifetime, hold the hand of the son, and the son of the white head, if so, I am willing to be enough!"
Looking at the princess with an expression, the princess also looked back at me movingly, as if time was condensed at this moment, how many words were omitted, and between me and her, we already knew each other and had a mutual affection.
The princess stood up in silence and looked at me, ran her hand over my face, and said with emotion:
"Sometimes I am a little lucky, glad that you are a woman, you see, you are so talented, so affectionate, if you are a man, there will be many women who are devoted to you......"
I smiled slightly, took the princess's hand, took the princess into my arms, and said:
"I just want you to devote yourself to me, I wish to win the heart of one person, and the white head is not separated, I don't know if I have this blessing, I can join hands with you to spend this life together?"
"Fool, isn't my hand in your hand?!"
The princess lay on my shoulder, smiling faintly.
"yes, I'm stupid!"
With a few smirks, I squeezed her hand a little and felt that she was right next to me......
......
Because I don't have to go to court today, and it is a rare public holiday, I plan to take the princess out for a long time and visit the unique scenery of the capital.
I didn't have to wear a public uniform, so I began to worry about what kind of clothes to wear, and in the end, Ziyu helped choose a silver-white round-necked blouse, which matched the princess's costume. I think that's the reason, we are walking together, so that everyone can know that this is a couple!
Tied with a jade belt around his waist, with a soft-footed head on his head, and official boots on his feet, this body stood out, and a clear-eyed person saw that it was either rich or expensive. I didn't pay much attention to this style, it was all Ziyu who helped to take care of it.
It was not easy to wait until the princess came out, with a plain white gown and a long skirt that dragged the floor, a shawl on her shoulders, a ribbon of the same color and a concentric knot pendant around her waist, an elegant and tactful, with the trend of a fairy coming on, which was eye-catching!
After holding her hand, the two of us walked side by side, but it was extremely right, as if made in heaven, envious of others!
I was so happy, I raised my head and chest, and between my swaggers, I was so proud that even Ziyu looked at it, I didn't feel frowning, shaking my head and sighing, this is only a moment of effort, I am triumphant, and the old problem of forgetfulness has been committed again.
Ziyu has long been commonplace, and it is not strange to see it, but Hongyu looks like she doesn't know why, and looks at the princess, seeing that she has a gentle face and a smile on her eyebrows, but it is rare to see the princess in such a happy mood, and the mood is also very good, and she has been silently waiting on one side, silent.
I took the princess and sat down on the main seat in the living room, and I sat down beside her, as a gesture of the princess and the head of the family. On weekdays, I get up early in the court, and the princess is responsible for everything in the house, but today I have a public holiday, and the princess pulled me to participate in the daily steward of the house.
The princess is worthy of being a princess, and she is also a battlefield general, and the laws and regulations in this military camp are also used in the means of managing the people in the palace, which really opened my eyes.
I saw that the men and women servants in the hall were separated from each other, and they were arranged before and after according to the importance of their respective stewards, and there was a great way for Chinese military officials to line up to perform affairs, and I saw that they reported in turn according to the priority of the incident, and the princess ruled in the court, never delaying, and the big and small things in this mansion were just a cup of tea, so they decided everything.
In a blink of an eye, I suddenly saw that Ah Zheng's kid was also among them, with decent manners, capable work, and a clear eye for playing things in the house, which immediately made me admire, and the princess's skills were really amazing to me.
At last, the princess asked me as usual, and said:
"Do you think it's good to rule like that?"
Ah, hey, I'm here to support the scene, just sit down, this time the princess asked, but it made me feel a little like pins and needles, dozens of pairs of eyes in the hall looked at me, made me fidget, and said busily:
"Very good, very good, every qiΔ in the house is ruled by the princess, and the horse can rest easy!"
The princess smiled faintly and signaled Ziyu to dismiss everyone, and after everyone dispersed, they performed their duties, and no one dared to be lazy, this is not because the princess is very strict, but the princess has clear rewards and punishments, and there is reason and evidence, so that the people respect and submit in their hearts.
I couldn't help but feel that I could learn some ways to govern the country from here.
I heard the princess say that Ziyu and Hongyu were originally a pair of biological sisters, the elder sister was Ziyu, and the younger sister was Hongyu, they have been serving the princess since childhood, like the princess's left and right hands, deeply relied on and trusted.
After the two sisters looked at each other, they immediately knelt down in front of me and the princess, and bowed very favorably and modestly.
"You, what are you doing?"
I glanced at the princess, but I didn't seem surprised, and smiled slightly, as if to signal that I didn't need to panic.
"Slave Ziyu. β
"Ruby. β
"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Horse Master, Her Royal Highness the Princess is blessed, and the Horse Lord is Jin'an!"
The two sisters said their respects in unison.
"All right, get up, all of you. β
The princess herself asked them to get up, and I nodded, since they have been with the princess since childhood, they are nominally master and servant, but the friendship is like sisters!
For so many years, they have also been waiting by the princess's side to keep her safe and sound, and they will know how Ziyu treats the princess, loyal and loyal, heaven and earth can be learned, although Hongyu has few words, but it can also be seen that her heart for the princess is by no means inferior to Ziyu.
I don't dare to take this sudden gift!
When the two of them got up, they thought about it carefully, the two of them deserved to be sisters, although their personalities and tones were different, but they really stood together, and the eyebrows were still quite similar!
Although Hongyu is a daughter, she has not changed back to red makeup today, she is still dressed in green clothes, dressed as a man, it is said that she knows that the princess and I plan to travel today, this outfit is convenient to do, and the line frame can be protected along the road, Ziyu can't resist her, and it is up to her temperament.
Last night, the two sisters also had a candlelight night talk, talking about the more than a month of exile in the Turkic land, and also talked about her past with the Turkic princess.
At first, Ziyu was incomprehensible and unacceptable to their relationship, but gradually, from Hongyu's retelling and interpretation, she also began to gradually change her original attitude, feeling that she should not look at things in a partial way, nor should she follow the crowd, maybe now she can only go with the flow for the time being.
Ziyu had already been mentally prepared, she knew that Hongyu would save the Turkic princess whether it was out of affection or morality, her sister was originally more stable than herself, she would make this decision and want to go through a battle between heaven and man, since she was determined to do it, then she, as a sister, would have to bear the consequences with her.
Ziyu bowed to the front and said:
"Ziyu is brave, please forgive the princess and the princess, please fulfill Hongyu's determination!"
Seeing Ziyu pleading for herself, Hongyu felt nostalgic in her heart, and also hugged her fists and saluted, saying:
"It's the red jade courage, and I ask the princess and the horse master for forgiveness!"
I looked at the princess and I looked at each other, it seemed that Hongyu was determined to save the Turkic princess, and she also succeeded in convincing Ziyu, and the two sisters interceded together, Her Royal Highness the princess couldn't bear it, even if she ordered it to be forbidden, it was inevitable that she would be disturbed by personal affairs.
I stood up and bowed to the two sisters, and I was grateful to them for taking good care of the princess so many years so that she would not be left alone.
As for Hongyu's plan to save the Turkic princess, it can be said that I also contributed to it, and I should also help Hongyu rescue people from the beginning to the end, but there are some things I don't want to hide from Hongyu, I have to let her know clearly what is at stake.
"Hongyu, I have discussed with the princess, and you are allowed to use the dragoon guards to disguise yourself as a group of bandits in the Turkic territory, you can ambush one place in advance, and when the peace team enters the territory of the Daman Turks, you will quickly loot the people back. The main purpose of this plan is to provoke the internal dispute of the Turkic Khan, and it can also take advantage of the situation to fulfill the affection of the two of you, which can be described as the best of both worlds, and this must be said to you first!"
After saying that, I looked at the princess, and saw that she looked back at me with a grateful expression, and I smiled back, between me and her, there is no need for those words of thanks, her business is my business, and I should do my best.
I am also telling SΓΉ Hongyu that the main purpose of this trip is not to follow personal feelings, but to serve the general public, once the internal disputes of the Turks arise, it will be of great benefit to the Northern Wei and Northern Qi wars.
Hongyu is also a marching general, so she knows what is important. These words can also reduce her guilt a little.
Ruby knelt down and bowed again, and said:
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the princess and the princess!"
Alas, they're all idiots!
Walked over and picked up Hongyu, and also made Ziyu not have to worry about it, and the princess and I were in charge of everything.
"Okay, let's talk about this first, and then, you two sisters will go with me and the princess!"
The two sisters looked at each other, looked at me and the princess, and we looked at each other and smiled, and said:
"Of course, it's with me and the princess to travel, recently the capital is a hundred times more lively than usual because of the queen mother's thousand autumn banquet, I finally got free, naturally I have to take the princess out for a walk, with you to follow, I feel at ease!"
After speaking, she bowed to show her invitation, and the two of them also looked at each other and smiled, and then returned me with a salute and said:
"Dare to disobey?!"
I laughed, went over and picked up the princess, took her by the hand, and said:
"Let's go over there!"
After speaking, our group laughed all the way and walked out of the door......
