Chapter III
After the wedding date of Yin Lihua and Liu Xiu was set, Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua hurriedly met and then returned to the battlefield to deal with Wang Mang's army with all their might. After four months of fierce fighting, the pen &www.biquge.info amp; fun & pavilion successfully ended the Wang Mang dynasty. However, at this time, bad news came from Kyoto - the first emperor Liu Xuan was jealous of Liu Xuan's high position, listened to the villain's slander, and killed Liu Xuan. When Liu Xiu heard the news, he immediately went straight to Wancheng from his father's city.
The advisors of the late Da Situ Liu Xuan and his subordinates greeted Liu Xiu at the city gate, and Liu Xiu found it difficult to talk to them behind their backs, and he thought that he was too much. When Liu Xiu returned to Kyoto, he did not take credit for Kunyang, and he did not dare to mourn his brother, and he ate and laughed as usual. The first emperor was ashamed because of this, so he worshiped Liu Xiu as the general of the captives, and was named the Marquis of Wuxin, but he was no longer entrusted with military power.
Seeing that the wedding date is approaching. Liu Xiu did not accept the mourning in order to dispel the suspicion of the first emperor, and it stands to reason that he should marry Yin Lihua on schedule. However, people all over the world are watching, Liu Xiu's refusal to accept mourning is just that he is criticized by others, and even blamed and abused, if he marries Yin Lihua at this time, then Yin Lihua will definitely become the pond fish that suffers, and he will also be criticized and slandered by others, and he will suffer a lot of grievances. In love, he did not want to marry at this time; Yu Li, but he must marry. In order not to wronged Yin Lihua, after some deep thought, Liu Xiu privately asked the underworld to change the period.
The Yin family was originally worried that Liu Xiu would take the initiative to mention it for the sake of himself and marry on schedule, but now looking at it, the Yin family knows Liu Xiu's sincerity to Yin Lihua, and they are relieved and embarrassed at the same time, Liu Xiu is now in danger, how can the Yin family stand by and do nothing. For the sake of the reputation of Yin Fu and the future of Yin Lihua, the Yin family intellectually supports Yin Lihua to marry Liu Xiu on schedule, but emotionally, they do not want Yin Lihua to be wronged because of this. So, they put the decision in the hands of Yin Lihua.
Since Yin Lihua learned of Liu Xuan's death, her expectations have turned into hesitation, and she doesn't know where to go. If Liu Xiu wants to marry, she will marry herself, but if Liu Xiu doesn't marry, should she marry or not? Thinking that Liu Xiu and her heart are in touch, she is actually willing to marry, but all the beautiful thoughts about the big wedding in the past suddenly turned into bitterness, and she had to make such a decision. As a descendant of a generation of famous ministers, he is not limited in all aspects, and although his political insight is not as good as his ancestors, he is also good, so from Yin Zhi to Yin Lihua, they all know that Liu Xiu is because of his high power and so much that he will be killed, Liu Xiu does not collect his body, does not mourn for him, eliminates the emperor's seven points of suspicion, and gets the emperor's appeasement, but from no longer being entrusted with military power, he knows that the emperor has three points of suspicion about Liu Xiu. If Liu Xiu didn't marry Yin Lihua at this time, no matter what the reason was, the emperor would think about it more, and the emperor's suspicion would become very suspicious. In this way, everything Liu Xiu did before, all the humiliation and pain he endured will come to naught.
Yin Lihua quickly made a decision, and her decision was expected by the Yin family. Hafu quickly informed Liu Xiu of Yin Lihua's decision.
After Liu Xiu learned of Yin Lihua's decision, she didn't speak, but her heart was churning.
In June of the first year of the change (23 AD), Liu Xiuhao welcomed Yin Lihua back from Xinye and married in the Wancheng General's Mansion.
On the wedding night, after making trouble in the cave room and sending off the guests, Liu Xiu returned to the new room, gently took off the phoenix crown for Yin Lihua, held her hand, and stopped talking several times.
Seeing this, Yin Lihua said: "Husband, if it's hard to speak, don't say it." The concubines all understand that a gentleman does something and does nothing, this is a husband. Husband, so it should be. ”
When Liu Xiu heard this, he was very moved in his heart, "Those who know me, Mo Ruoyue." If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for? At this moment, a thousand words can't tell him how much he loves Yin Lihua, and he secretly decided in his heart: I must cherish and love Yin Lihua in this life, and I will never lose Yin Lihua in this life.
Liu Xiu's scorching gaze made Yin Lihua feel shy, and she didn't dare to look directly.
Beauty is like a flower, this shyness suddenly made the room full of spring, but in extraordinary times, how can you get a good night.
"Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island. My Fair Lady, Gentleman. Jagged wattles, left and right flowing. My Fair Lady, Sleepy and Thoughtful. Leisurely, tossing and turning. Jagged wattles, picked left and right. My Fair Lady, Friends of the Piano. Jagged wattles, left and right hairy. My Fair Lady, bells and drums. Looking at Yin Lihua, who was shy of flowers in the closed moon, this poem blurted out from Liu Xiu's mouth again.
"Vote for me with papaya, and repay it with Qiongju. Bandit retribution, always think it is good. Vote for me with a peach, and repay it with Qiong Yao. Bandit retribution, always think it is good. Vote for me with Mu Li, and repay it with Qiongjiu. Bandit retribution, always think it is good" Yin Lihua responded to Liu Xiu shyly.
This is the first time they have met and given each other a poem, and when they read it, the two seem to have returned to their first meeting.
This night, Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua hugged each other, talked with candles and nights, and gradually fell asleep.
Since the elders are not around, the two do not have to get up in the morning to serve tea and worship their ancestors. After sleeping until he woke up naturally, he got up and freshened up, and where Liu Xiuxing went, he was Yin Lihua thrush and bun. In the newlywed, the two are inseparable and very affectionate. The red sleeves in the study are fragrant, the affectionate veins on the dining table, and the ten fingers are clasped tightly when visiting the garden...... Gradually, the scene spread.
As the first emperor who always pays attention to Liu Xiu, he has not missed these rumors, and his suspicions gradually disappeared after hearing about it, he thought that Liu Xiuzheng was now indulging in gentle township like him, and they all said that the hero tomb of Beauty Township, Liu Xuan believed it.
Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua's affection is a true expression of affection, but even if the beloved is in his arms, Liu Xiu will inevitably sink occasionally, but after all, he still has ambitions in his heart and a deep hatred of blood, so he is not really idle. It's one thing to add fragrance to red sleeves, but who says you can't get what you get from adding fragrance to red sleeves. In view of the previous battles, although Liu Xiu was fortunate to win, he knew that he had many deficiencies in the art of war, so he took the opportunity to study hard to prepare for the battle in the coming day. When Liu Xiu was studying hard, Yin Lihua accompanied her, sent people close to her to stay outside the study, studied ink by herself, and made tea. In order to avoid Liu Xiu's fatigue, Yin Lihua took advantage of Liu Xiu's tea to ask each other about the past war, and her words were full of curiosity and admiration. Liu Xiu said slowly to Yin Lihua, and said with some feelings, and said that he hated less when the book was used, and how a certain battle should be at that time. Yin Lihua occasionally said a few words, but it had the effect of throwing bricks and attracting jade for Liu Xiu, which often made Liu Xiu gain something, and then wrote it down. For this reason, Liu Xiu was very surprised, and she loved Yin Lihua even more. When talking happily, Liu Xiu often forgets the pain in his heart and is full of happiness. And when others see this through the window, it is a good scene of red sleeves and fragrance.
Although in everyone's opinion, Yin Lihua and Liu Xiu are inseparable every day, but as Yin Lihua's pillow person, Liu Xiu knows very well that in the past few days, every day before dawn, when taking a nap, and in the middle of the night, Yin Lihua will quietly disappear for a while. On this day, Liu Xiu finally couldn't bear it anymore and quietly followed behind. After turning around, I came to an extremely hidden place in the back wing. I saw that the slave Qingyu was on guard, and Yin Lihua was burning incense and burning paper. Liu Xiu saw that there was anything he didn't understand, and immediately walked out of the shadows.
When Qingyu saw a black shadow suddenly appear in front of her, she was shocked, and when she was about to tell Yin Lihua, she saw that it was Liu Xiu, and she couldn't help but shout in surprise: "Uncle." ”
Yin Lihua looked back when she heard the voice, and sure enough, she saw Liu Xiu. She stood up and said to Liu Xiu with a guilty face: "The concubine is ......" Yin Lihua suddenly didn't know how to speak.
The maid Qingyu was afraid that Liu Xiu would misunderstand Yin Lihua, so she hurriedly said: "Since the day the bad news of Da Situ came, Miss has never broken her daily morning, noon and evening days. The uncle has never mourned, and the slave has also persuaded the young lady not to be like this, but the young lady does not think so, saying that this is what she should do as a prospective brother and daughter-in-law. ”
After Yin Lihua said such a thing in Qingyu, Fang opened her mouth again and said to Liu Xiu: "The concubine body doesn't know whether what she is doing is right or wrong, and the concubine body only seeks peace of mind." "It's better for her to do something than to do nothing.
Liu Xiu approached Yin Lihua, hugged her tightly into her arms, and said, "This is enough." In Liu Xiu's opinion, it is really rare to be able to do this, and he is very moved. After hugging for a while, Liu Xiu let go of Yin Lihua, first put on a pillar of incense, and then squatted down with Yin Lihua to burn paper.
Since Liu Xiu was killed, Liu Xiu didn't even go to see his last face, didn't collect the body of his beloved brother since childhood, and never put a pillar of incense in front of his spirit, and he had to spend his days with a smile and laughter, he never thought that he would be able to incense his brother on the first seven days. Thinking of the bits and pieces with his brother and the difficult days of these days, he couldn't help but feel sad, burst into tears, and finally hugged Yin Lihua and cried silently. Liu Xiu is like this, not surprising Yin Lihua. She didn't want to hide it from Liu Xiu all the time, she thought that with Liu Xiu's intelligence, she would definitely find out, Liu Xiu followed behind tonight, she knew it, but she just pretended not to know, if it was someone else, she would have been dumped a long time ago. Liu Xiu can cry like this, Yin Lihua is much more relieved, she is really afraid that Liu Xiu will be sick one day.
Since then, Yin Lihua is no longer a person to pay tribute to Liu Xiu, and she has taken deep roots in Liu Xiu's heart since then, leaving a strong mark, even if one day he no longer has love for Yin Lihua, Yin Lihua is still the most cherished and intimate person in his heart, just because Yin Lihua is his only warmth in the most difficult years.
