Chapter 151 is unpredictable, joyful and joyful

Liu Zhao slept very unsteadily this night, he didn't go to any of the concubines' palaces, and his heart also turned ten thousand thoughts. The queen mother has been buried, although it is a state funeral, but since the beginning of Guangwu, it has been keeping the tradition of frugality, so the palace from top to bottom, is not too extravagant, and it is finally completed peacefully.

But Liu Qing's words turned to his heart at this moment, and he already knew in his heart early on that he was not the biological son of the queen mother, but he never wanted to admit this fact. Since he was a child, he has known that filial piety comes first, but did he do it himself?

He got up and walked to the door, and called, "Someone, pour me tea!" Cai Lun walked in at this time, carrying a small jade pot and a bamboo tube.

"Your Majesty, the minister knows that you won't be able to sleep tonight, so he specially brought good tea for the emperor." He held up the bamboo tube in his hand.

Liu Zhao put on a cotton coat and sat in front of the couch and looked at him and said, "You know why I can't sleep or not?" ”

"The minister doesn't know, but he understands the emperor's mood." Cai Lun, put the tea cup away, plucked the tea with one hand, put a little into the cup, and poured the boiling water in the jade pot into the cup. I could only hear the dry tea leaves immediately sizzling with a fine crack. He listened quietly to the sound of the tea leaves, and observed the color of the water in the cup very carefully, mixing it little by little. He smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the minister heard Che Qing say that the emperor praised the tea in the queen's palace as good, so he carefully pondered how to make good tea for the emperor." After studying this for a few days, I finally got some experience. This tea is dew, followed by snow, and rain, and the lighter the water, the better the color and taste. This is the snow of the year. The minister deliberately left a few large altars and buried them in the ground. Snow water is not like wine, the older it is, the better, and it is the best of the year. ”

He looked at the tea again, the color was as clear as amber, and the room was full of the fragrance of tea, Liu Zhao smiled and said: "Even if you still grind these carefully, how do I know whether the tea is fragrant or not." Just then. I want to plead with the queen for Sui'er, and praise her for a few words, but you are careful. However, this tea is extremely fragrant. I feel refreshed when I smell it. ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister was not in the palace at the time, and I didn't know what the emperor was thinking at that time, but. The minister felt that the queen was the head of the palace, and the emperor didn't go to see it every day. It's also a good idea to walk around from time to time. Doesn't it mean that jealousy can also kill? No matter how virtuous the queen is, after all, she is the wife of the emperor, and she manages the harem for the emperor every day, worrying about it. The emperor is reasonable and should not be ignored. The minister also knew that the emperor valued Deng Guiren very much, and she was both beautiful. and virtuous, and because of this. will be even more jealous. For the sake of Deng Guiren, the emperor should also be close to the six palaces, and should not only favor one person! In this way, Deng Guiren can also stay in the palace in peace. ”

His words made Liu Zhao stunned for a while, and with a sigh in his heart, he picked up the cup to drink. Cai Lun said: "Wait a minute, Your Majesty, this tea is only easy to use at half temperature." Taste little by little to taste, as for quenching thirst, boiled water also makes. ”

Liu Zhao had to put down the cup, and Cai Lun said again: "Your Majesty, Fang is the king's incense, and now it is the hermit incense, you can smell it again." ”

Liu Zhao held his breath and sniffed, and sure enough, the fragrance of tea was different from Fang Cai. The fragrance is strong and mellow, and this will already be a faint fragrance, such as a hollow valley orchid, clear and refreshing. Not only did he say something different: "Chang Shi is really erudite, and people really have to admire it, and he has such a scholarly question after taking a sip of tea." ”

Cai Lun smiled and said: "The emperor has to stand up to pondering everything, the minister wants to taste the taste of this tea, so he tried the aroma and taste of countless kinds of tea, and studied the difference between various kinds of water when making tea, the emperor is the son of heaven, and naturally the big thing is in the chest, these small things, or the minister to think about it!" ”

Liu Zhao nodded, waited for a while before picking up the tea cup again, took a sip, and felt that his mouth was full of fragrance, which was very different from the usual brewed tea.

"Tea is the gentleman in the water, there are always pro-gentlemen and villains who are emperors, you can't kill all the villains, so the emperor still looks at where the villains are good, and uses the benefits, there will be no big mistakes, right!"

Cai Lun looked at Liu Zhao and smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, this is the minister's nonsense, if you say something right or wrong, don't be surprised by it." ”

Liu Zhao's gaze flashed like a spark, and it was extinguished in an instant. Cai Lun's words made him seem to catch something, but he didn't seem to catch anything. He turned and paced to the door, opened the door, and let the cold wind blow in outside, and couldn't help shivering, but he still stood at the outlet, and his clothes fluttered all over his body.

Cai Lun walked over, tightened his clothes for him, and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to blow the wind, it's better to go out for a walk, the night in the palace is beautiful tonight." ”

Liu Zhao nodded, let Cai Lun serve and get dressed, put on a cloak, and the two of them walked out of the Deyang Hall without attendants, and walked slowly along the lanes in the palace. The moonlight flowed down like water, and at a glance, it was faint. The palace lamps in the alleyway reflect the palace brightly one by one, like a painting on the ground, and the light and shadow are flashing. At this time, the sky was more bare, and the ground was full of shadows, and it was difficult to see clearly. A bright moon in the sky, reflecting the stars in the sky, also looked dull, but the stars in the distance flickered. The cool wind blew, Liu Zhao tightened his cloak, but his heart relaxed, in this night, in this moonlight.

The footsteps involuntarily moved towards the West Palace, he didn't even think that Cai Lun didn't speak, just accompanied him, let him go from his heart, maybe that was the place where he could get peace.

Suddenly, the sound of the piano drifted in with the cool breeze, and it seemed that there was a woman singing to the sound of the piano. Liu Zhao loved the sound of the piano very much, so he wandered outside the walls of the West Palace and listened.

Cai Lun listened for a while and said: "Your Majesty, this piano sound is extremely beautiful, I don't know if it was played by Deng Guiren, and the singing voice is also extremely beautiful, and I don't know if it was sung by Deng Guiren." Liu Zhao glanced at him and said angrily: "You old fellow, I didn't say to go to Deng Guiren's Palace." ”

Cai Lun said with a hard mouth: "Your Majesty, this has arrived in the West Palace, can it still be someone else's piano sound and singing?" ”

Liu Zhao looked up, and sure enough, it was outside the door of the West Palace, and he was about to walk outside the door of the fallen building. His face was red, and his heart was still towards Sui'er. Listen to the singing voice, "The moon rises." Brilliant people. Shu Jiao is entangled. Quietly tired. The moon rises brightly. The best people are scared. Sorrowful. I'm tired. The moon is shining. The best are burning. Shu Yao. It's hard work. It is the "moonrise" in the Book of Songs! Could it be that Sui'er is also in the same mood as herself at the moment? He listened stunned, but his heart had already flown into the West Palace, and he couldn't pull it out.

Cai Lun shook his head, "Alas, the Son of Heaven is the same as ordinary people!" ”

Liu Zhao couldn't hold back any longer, turned around and walked into the courtyard, followed the sound of the piano into the inner hall of the West Palace, a warm room, Sui'er was only wearing a small coat, was sitting in front of the lamp and stroked the piano slippery, her beautiful shadow, a look of full attention, the already plump upper body gently swayed with the movement of the fingers, and the beauty under the lamp was intoxicating. Zhao Yu and Su Lan'er were standing on the side listening to the piano, and when they suddenly saw Liu Zhao coming in, they didn't dare to make a sound, and quietly retreated. Sui'er was playing tightly, not noticing the departure of the two. Liu Zhao was horny at the moment, so he tiptoed behind Sui'er and took her into his arms.

Sui'er was startled, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and she wanted to turn her head to look back, but Liu Zhao took her lips into her mouth, and the familiar feeling made Sui'er sigh lightly, so he picked herself up and put her on the couch.

After a night of lingering, Liu Zhao lay softly beside Sui'er, his fingers gently wrapped around her soft silk, smelled Sui'er's faint fragrance, and fell asleep.

When I woke up in the morning, I saw Sui'er in my arms, my face was infinitely shy, and I couldn't help but feel hot in my heart, but I suddenly saw the different shades of traces left by Sui'er's body, and I couldn't help but gently caress her creamy skin, and said softly: "My Sui'er, I miss you so much!" Sui'er blushed, so she had to bury her face in his chest and let out a soft "um".

I only heard Cai Lun's voice outside shouting in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's time to go to court." ”

Liu Zhao stretched his waist and kissed Sui'er, feeling refreshed, as if all the pressure had disappeared in an instant. "Sui'er serve me and change my clothes!"

Sui'er got up and got dressed, her body still had the soreness of last night's entertainment, she lowered her head, and her hair slid down her shoulders, reflecting her snow-white skin. Liu Zhao helped Sui'er get dressed in turn, and said in a low voice: "Sui'er, I really couldn't help it last night, did it hurt you?" ”

"Hmm!" Sui'er answered again, shook her head again, and was too ashamed to raise her head. "Your Majesty, no, I-" I don't know how to say it. He asked for it again and again last night, and it did make her delicate body a little unbearable, but she was still melted by his tenderness, and he couldn't help it. She knew that he had never touched other concubines in the past few months, and had been guarding her, how could she afford this love? So he raised his head and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, Sui'er likes it!" After saying that, his face was full of red clouds, his head was lowered, and he refused to raise it again.

Liu Zhao's heart fluttered, and he hugged her into his arms and said: "Every time I come to you, I don't want to leave, I really hope that it will last a long time, and I will never want those disturbances, just the two of us!" ”

Cai Lun's voice sounded outside again, "Your Majesty, the time for the early dynasty is coming!" ”

Liu Zhao was helpless, let go of Sui'er, put on his clothes, and said, "I'm gone, Sui'er is waiting for me to come back!" ”

Sui'er nodded, and also supported her body. Cai Lun came in and said, "Your Majesty, the court clothes are ready!" After coming in, Sui'er helped him get dressed again, and then said, "The concubine sends the emperor." ”

Liu Zhao smiled, turned around and left, he didn't know what kind of wind and rain there would be today, but he seemed to know how to do it, and his face was calm. (To be continued)
