Chapter 172: Reading and Playing the Piano Golden House Collection
On the stage of Bianliang City, Liu E's slender figure was no longer seen, and the fans no longer heard Liu E's tactful singing voice. Although Liu E's sudden disappearance caused a lot of discussion, no one knew Liu E's whereabouts because the only known shopkeeper of Qinyuan and Wu Degui did not speak. After all, it's just a play, and over time, no one mentions it anymore.
Since then, Liu E has stayed in the secret house and stayed at home. Because Zhao Heng was afraid that the emperor would know that he was still in touch with Liu E, he endured it and only came to a tryst every ten days and a half months according to the little eunuch's idea.
Liu E, who lives in seclusion, has more time to think about her future. Liu E, who has been crawling at the bottom of society, knows that if a woman wants to capture a man's heart, she can't rely on her appearance alone. In other words, people are not good for a thousand days, and flowers are not red for a hundred days. When you grow old, you fall out of favor. What's more, he is already nineteen years old, and Zhao Heng is only less than fifteen years old. So, Liu E secretly made up her mind and began to read and write. At the same time, he begged Zhao Heng to invite a gentleman who was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to study hard and concentrate on it. Zhao Heng naturally had no objection.
Liu E was born in a scholarly family and was gifted and intelligent, but because of her young difficulties, she has never had the opportunity to learn. Nowadays, although I am older, once I have no distractions and am determined to learn, my progress is still very fast. As for the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, because of many years of learning opera, although I didn't do it myself, I still learned a lot of tricks. Therefore, learning naturally has the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.
Looking at Liu E, who is progressing every day, in the charming ladylike charm, there is gradually a trace of bookishness, and there is a trace of elegance, Zhao Heng is even more infatuated.
"E'er, I really can't imagine that you not only have the appearance of a sinking fish and a wild goose, but also have a heart of seven tricks."
"Your Highness has won the award, and E'er has worked hard to learn these skills, just to better serve His Highness."
"It's rare that E'er has this heart. Don't get too tired when you go back to school. ”
"Your Highness rest assured, when she was a child, E'er envied those girls who could read and write. When I was in the troupe, I occasionally moved the strings of the silk orchestra, but I was familiar with the rhythm, and I didn't learn it by heart. It's not very hard to learn from scratch now. ”
"That's fine, if you put too much effort into it, it's okay not to learn."
Liu E turned around and went to the bedroom to take out a delicate sachet, held it in both hands and handed it to Zhao Heng.
"Your Highness, this is made by E'er, I don't know if Your Highness likes it?"
Zhao Heng took it, and after looking at it carefully, he couldn't help but say happily:
"I really can't imagine that E'er's female celebrity is so good."
"Thank you, Auntie. Although the aunt has a bad heart, she has a female celebrity who makes a move. Since E'er was two years old, her aunt forced E'er to learn to do it. After being sold to the theater troupe, E'er's clothes, especially the underwear, have always been made by herself. ”
Zhao Heng looked at Liu E's expression and his heart moved.
"E'er, do you miss your relatives?"
"Your Highness, E'er has only one uncle. Although the aunt does not wait to see E'er, the uncle is still fine. If it hadn't been taken in by my uncle, there would have been no E'er. I can't wait for Your Highness today. ”
"Okay, since E'er doesn't care about the past suspicions, let's send someone to fetch them."
Liu E also did some ideological struggle. Thinking about her aunt's attitude towards herself when she was a child, Liu E still has hatred in her heart. However, after all, he was taken in by his uncle at that time to survive. Besides, now in this secret house, all the people around him are sent by the three princes, and none of them are his henchmen. Sometimes, if you want to talk to someone, you can't. That's why I decided to take my uncle's family here.
Half a month later, uncle Liu Zhen, aunt Zou, cousin Liu Chun, cousin Liu Ying, a family of four, were taken to the house. After Liu E asked Zhao Heng, she settled the family of four in two of the three main houses in the front yard. The remaining one is for two old mothers.
Back then, although Liu E was singing in Bingzhou, she was already famous. However, because it is a drama, Zou still looks down on it. Although Liu Zhen often secretly went to see Liu E, Zou still restricted his family and interacted with Liu E. When I heard that Liu E and his wife moved to the capital to sing with the Defu class, Zou thought in his heart that this could be regarded as quiet. Unexpectedly, just a few days later, he was brought by the governor of Bingzhou, and he didn't even say why, but said that his niece Liu E sent someone to pick him up, and he brought him to the capital. Along the way, the Zou family, who didn't know what to do, was up and down in his heart. finally came to the capital and lived in the house, only to know that Liu E is no longer the original little drama, but actually fell in love with the three princes in the palace.
"E'er and niece, it was all aunts who were not good at the beginning, for the sake of your uncle and younger brothers and sisters, I hope that E'er will forgive your aunt."
Since she decided to bring them in, Liu E didn't plan to settle old accounts.
"Auntie, the past is gone, and no one should mention it in the future. If it weren't for my aunt and uncle back then, I wouldn't be where I am today. ”
On the fifth day after Uncle Liu E's family stayed, Zhao Heng came.
Liu Zhen led the whole family to kowtow to Zhao Heng, and Zhao Heng didn't want to see the Zou family. However, looking at Liu E's face, she didn't say anything at that time. Immediately heard Zou call Liu E, one will be E'er, and the other will be niece. His brows furrowed, and he looked at the little eunuch beside him. The little eunuch understood, and immediately reprimanded Zou Shidao:
"E'er is also what you can call as a folk woman?"
In a word, Zou was stunned on the ground. Liu Zhen reacted, after all, he had spent a few years in Yamen for his brother Liu Xianren.
"Forgive me, father-in-law, the insider has never seen the world."
After speaking, Liu Zhen lowered his head and whispered to Liu E:
"Princess."
Zou understood and shouted:
"Princess."
Only then did Zhao Heng's brows stretch. When Liu E heard her uncle call herself a princess, she was still a little uncomfortable. However, for the title of princess, Liu E is still happy in her heart. couldn't help but feel a little excited, raised his head and secretly glanced at Zhao Heng, seeing that Zhao Heng was also looking at himself, Liu E hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"Your Highness."
"Get up, you don't need to make this great gift in the future."
Zhao Heng personally helped Liu E up, and glanced at the little eunuch again. The little eunuch went outside, gathered all the people, and commanded:
"In the future, you will be called the princess, and you must not mess up the etiquette, if you let our family know who does not respect the etiquette, you will be driven out immediately."
With her uncle's family here, Liu E's heart is a lot more steady. Zhao Heng corrected his status as the princess in front of everyone, although it was only private, and it was not counted without the permission of the emperor, Liu E was already very happy.
Liu E's identity was not made public until Zhao Heng succeeded to the throne and became the justifiable Liu Niangniang, that is, the Liu Niangniang in the book "Tanuki for the Prince". And that little eunuch is the famous eunuch Guo Huai in the future.
