Chapter 112: Innocent

Liu Xuan smiled when she heard this: "It's worth buying, I know that the four of them must have used a lot of Xiao Gong's silver, and it is common for Xiao Gong to be unwilling." ”

Xiao Gong smiled and was considered a default.

Liu Xuan sighed and felt slightly regretful: "If it comes to making money every day, then the Qinglou and the gambling house are the real gold caves, why didn't you and Your Highness set up some of these industries in the first place?" ”

Xiao Gong seemed to be frightened by Liu Xuan's words, his face stiffened for a long time, and then he said: "The girl may not know as a boudoir woman, the gambling house and the Qinglou are both dirty, and the gambling house uses all kinds of indiscriminate means to seduce people, and the Qinglou is not to mention, the women inside are either sold or abducted, ordinary women who are willing to do this thing if they have a little way." ”

He paused and said: "What's more, in order to let those women stay in the Qinglou in peace, there are countless means to see the light, even if it is a gold cave, every day to fight for gold, people like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will never be contaminated with half a point." ”

Liu Xuan naturally didn't know these things, she knew that the Qinglou and the gambling house must be some dirty means, but she didn't know that it was dirty, she sighed for a long time and said: "Now look at the four people of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are also unwilling, Xiao Xuan knows that there are four people of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, as long as the four of them stay diligently in Yipinxiang for three years, I am willing to return their freedom after three years." ”

Xiao Gong didn't mind Liu Xuan letting go of the four people of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, don't say three years, even if the silver bought by these four people in two months, he would have already returned, he heard the words and praised: "The girl is kind, and the four people must be grateful to the girl." ”

The four dared not to thank her, but Liu Xuan didn't care. She just doesn't like to force others to do things, and women's youth is fleeting, and after three years, I'm afraid that there will be other Qinglou women who have replaced the status of the four people of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and it makes no sense to force them to stay in Yipinxiang.

After talking to Xiao Gong, he talked about the prevalence of Hangzhou silk in Beijing, these things are actually in a hurry, the main thing is to look at the princess of Xue County, what Jin Yi Textile has to do is nothing more than to cooperate, and wait for Xue Jun Princess to promote Hangzhou silk, and Jin Yi Textile will launch Hangzhou silk products to become.

The first batch of Hangzhou silk of the richest merchant in Hangzhou was also on the way to the capital. It's just that the weather is getting colder, and the waterways are not smooth. The days of this transportation have been a lot longer, anyway, Hangzhou Silk has not yet prevailed in Beijing, so it will not hurt to be later.

After discussing these things, Xiao Gong retreated, and Liu Xuan wrote back to Deng Yu when he had nothing to do. The humiliation I suffered that day was absolutely unspeakable. Liu Xuan said that Jinyi Textile was making vests to keep the frontier soldiers warm. Let him wait a little longer, and when it is ready, he will send it to him.

Time flies, and a month passes in the blink of an eye. The New Year is approaching, the whole capital is beginning to be lively, not long ago the capital ushered in the first heavy snow, Liu Xuan let Qiu Ju and Dongmei build a snowman on a whim, and now the snowman is still standing in her courtyard.

During this month, Liu Xuan only stayed in the mansion, she did not go to see Li Che, and Li Che did not come to see her.

This made Liu Xuan feel a little disappointed, she knew that he was very busy, and he must be even busier when the end of the year was approaching, but he could take the time to look at the hundreds of books carefully, could he not find time to meet himself?

Liu Xuan was a little angry in the courtyard holding the stove and basking in the sun, if he didn't come, she wouldn't go, why did she go to him every time?

Even if he has a noble status, even if he has a lot of opportunities, but this time she said that she would not look for him first, Liu Xuan pouted sullenly, and secretly made up her mind that if he really didn't come to see him, he would have never known him.

When she was thinking about these angry words, Dongmei came to report with a smile, saying that Liu Zhiqing was coming.

Liu Zhiqing is now in the capital, not as casual as when he was in Yizhou, every move is a good number of etiquette, if he is in Yizhou, there is no need to report that he came, but now he is the first to let people pass the report, honestly stay outside and wait.

Liu Xuan pouted and asked him to come over, Liu Zhiqing was wearing a silk robe, and the pattern was painted by Liu Xuan herself, and Liu Xuan was also wearing a silk robe, and her clothes were naturally specially made and sent to her by Princess Xue Jun.

Liu Zhiqing raised her eyebrows when she saw her: "In the past month, you have not been out of the door, do you really want to be a woman raised in the boudoir?" ”

Liu Xuan glared at him angrily when she heard this: "You are so polite and polite, don't you allow me to pretend to be a lady?" ”

"Why pretend to be a lady." Liu Zhiqing sat down beside her with a smile: "You are the righteous daughter of Mrs. Liu, a member of the first rank of the dynasty, and you are everyone's lady." ”

Hearing his compliment, Liu Xuan didn't care: "Don't talk about it, why do you come to find me?" ”

Liu Zhiqing pretended to be sad when he heard this, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Xuan with grievances on his face: "You are my sister-in-law, I haven't seen me in January to see what's wrong with you?" Our mother has been talking to you a lot lately, saying that you haven't seen her for a long time. ”

Liu Xuan was slightly ashamed when she heard this, she lowered her head and said softly: "It's my fault, I will go to see my father-in-law tomorrow." ”

Liu Zhiqing nodded when he heard this: "This is my good sister-in-law, I have two things to do this time, the first thing is that my brother has returned to the capital, your stepmother means that it will be the New Year in a short time, and you will live in Liufu for a few days at the end of the year, and the whole family will be reunited this year." ”

Liu Xuan nodded when she heard this, and Liu Zhiqing saw that she answered, so she continued: "The second thing is to beg you for our subordinates." ”

Liu Xuan's heart jumped when she heard this, and she snorted: "You are my brother-in-law, if there is anything to say, I can't afford to ask you for a word." ”

Liu Zhiqing smiled when she looked at her, and after laughing, she put on a bitter face: "My good sister-in-law, how long have you not seen your brother-in-law's master?" Do you know that everyone around His Highness has been in danger recently, and he doesn't even dare to come out on weekdays, for fear that if he says a wrong word, he will provoke His Highness's anger? ”

Liu Xuan snorted coldly when she heard this: "What does that have to do with me?" If he wants to be angry, you must have provoked him to be dissatisfied, why should you have to blame me for your own affairs? ”

Liu Zhiqing's face became even more bitter when she heard this: "Righteous sister, my good righteous sister!" Do you know that you did not go to the prince's mansion for the first ten days? Although His Royal Highness's face is as usual, but the smile is getting less, you haven't been to see Your Highness for the first 20 days, Your Highness has been pursing your lips all day and snorting coldly, now you haven't been to see Your Highness for a month, everyone is already in danger, and you can detect the cold air on Your Highness's body before you get close, your brother and I are the worst, Your Highness now sees me once and snorts coldly at me, who is Your Highness? Haven't you grasped his majesty? ”

As he spoke, he began to lose his shape: "You little two are vindictive, is it interesting to use us as subordinates?" Your Highness snorted coldly when he saw me. Who doesn't know the meaning of Sun Xun and Long Yi? I resisted that I never came to you. Now even Sun Xun and Long don't have a good face when they see me! What did I do wrong, brother-in-law? It's your mood to fight with Your Highness, but your brother-in-law and I are innocent......"

"Who is the younger couple with him?" Liu Xuan heard Liu Zhiqing's unserious words, and glared angrily: "Who has an affair with him?" You talk nonsense all day long, and you deserve this treatment! ”

Liu Zhiqing saw that she was a little annoyed and angry, so she stopped joking. Instead, he said, "Seriously." Go and meet Your Highness. His Royal Highness's face is becoming more and more gloomy now, and even the methods in the court are becoming more and more cold, and it is almost the end of the year. Don't let us subordinates be scared. ”

Liu Xuan pouted softly when she heard this: "The door of Liu's Mansion is open all day, you can come in at any time, let alone him?" If he is really angry with you because I did not go to see him, you can tell him that the gate of Liu's mansion is not closed. ”

Liu Zhiqing is such a smart person, as soon as he heard it, he knew Liu Xuan's awkward thoughts, and immediately smiled: "The saint is unwell, every winter is a recurrence of the old disease, His Royal Highness really can't spare time to see you, you must not be angry with him because of this, he went back to the prince's mansion just to take a nap, and then rushed back to the palace, these days are getting thinner and thinner, it is not a secret that now this court is not very peaceful, the Liao State spy has infiltrated the court, but the spy is very deep, and it has not been found out who it is, if you are angry with him because His Royal Highness will see you in the future." , it really shouldn't. ”

Liu Xuan didn't answer after hearing this, and only raised her eyes and sighed after a long time: "It's not that I refuse to see him, but I always run to the prince's mansion when I haven't left the cabinet, which will inevitably damage my reputation, I am now your sister-in-law and not the orphan daughter of the Liu family in Yizhou, even if I don't want to be faced, I should always think about the face of my father-in-law." ”

Liu Zhiqing nodded when he heard this: "What you said is also reasonable, the capital is not as good as other places, and the reputation of a woman's boudoir is very important, even I must abide by etiquette." ”

He sighed: "In that case, I will return to Your Highness as it is." ”

Liu Xuan hummed softly, Liu Zhiqing didn't stay for a long time after finishing speaking, Liu Xuan wanted to leave him to play a game of chess before leaving, although Liu Zhiqing was moved, he still shook his head: "There are so many things when the New Year is approaching, and I will play with you after the New Year." ”

When Liu Xuan heard this, she didn't keep him anymore, and personally sent him outside the gate of Liu's mansion, and then turned around and returned to the courtyard after watching him leave.

Liao actually had a spy sneak into the court, which made Liu Xuan slightly uneasy, Deng Yu was still at the border pass and didn't know if he would be plotted, two days ago, the vest made by the soldiers of the border pass in Jinxiufang had been handed over to Li Che and sent to the border pass, hoping to let the soldiers wear it before the New Year.

She knew that Li Che must be busy, but she never thought that he would be so busy, listening to Liu Zhiqing say that he was getting thinner and thinner, Liu Xuan couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, she thought about it and lost the stove and got up and walked towards the kitchen.

Liu Xuan was busy in the kitchen for an hour, and then came out with a food box, called Hu Yi and asked him to send it to Li Che, and when he heard that the food in the food box was made for Li Che, Hu Yi hurriedly carried the food box and disappeared in place without saying a word.

Not long after, Hu Yi came back and replied, saying that Li Che was still in the palace when he went, and he handed over the food box to Xiaozhuzi's father-in-law, and he could see it when Li Che came back.

Liu Xuan nodded to indicate that she understood, and did not ask about the matter again.

In the evening, Liu Xuan read the book, she really couldn't bear the cold in winter, so she washed and fell asleep early, and when she slept until she was dazed, she felt a gust of cold wind into the quilt, she was a little unhappy and stretched out her hand to wrap the quilt, but this hand touched a slightly cool object, she was shocked, and the whole person woke up.

When I opened my eyes, I was met by a pair of deep dark eyes.

Liu Xuan's face turned slightly red, she shrunk into the quilt, looked at Li Che, who was only wearing a middle coat, and muttered, "This is my boudoir." ”

Li Che raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "This palace naturally knows that this is your boudoir, and this is not the first time that this palace has come, and it is not the first time that this bed has been slept." ”

Liu Xuan was ashamed and annoyed when she heard this, but she was powerless to refute it, so she had to turn over and ignore him, as if Li Che did not exist, but this kind of self-deception was useless, and her body was slightly stiff and she didn't dare to move for half a minute.

Li Che chuckled from behind him, his hand lightly wrapped around her waist, and the whole person approached her a few points, Liu Xuan froze, she stretched out her hand to take the big hand on her waist away, but she just touched his palm, but he held it back, Li Che's voice was hoarse with an obvious trace of tiredness and said: "Don't make trouble, this palace is a little tired, rest early and go to court early tomorrow." ”

Hearing the tiredness in his voice, Liu Xuan's heart softened, just that, anyway, it wasn't the first time he got better.

Although he was thinking like this, his body was still stiff, and after a while, there was an even breathing sound behind him, Liu Xuan's slightly stiff body gradually relaxed in this even and steady breathing sound, and after a while, he also closed his eyes and fell asleep.

When he woke up on the second day, Li Che was no longer by his side, and there was still a faint fragrance on his body in the quilt, Liu Xuan smelled a little red on his face, and only after a long time did he get up and call Qiu Ju Dongmei to come in and serve.

Qiu Ju and Dong Mei's faces were as usual, and they didn't joke with her as usual, so it can be seen that they didn't know about Li Che's visit last night.

After washing up and having some breakfast, Liu Xuan held the stove in the courtyard as usual and basked in the sun and read a book, the whole person was comfortable and comfortable, but it didn't take long for Qian Tong to come.

Qian Tong's heart was all on the management of Yipinxiang, after the opening of Yipinxiang, he moved directly to Yipinxiang, he has not seen Qian Tong for a long time, he has become more mature and steady, and after seeing Liu Xuan saluting her, he directly explained his intention: "Miss, there is definitely someone in front of Yipinxiang." ”

Liu Xuan asked Yan Wei surprised, this is absolutely not against Liu Zhiqing, she hurriedly asked: "Who is on this couplet?" ”

"This person and the young lady are old acquaintances." Qian Tong replied: "He is the little son of the Jiang family in Yizhou. ”

At the beginning, Liu Xuan's retirement was in an uproar, and Qian Tong also knew about the entanglement between Jiang Xiaogongzi and Liu Xuan, and it was precisely because he knew that he rushed over early in the morning to inform Liu Xuan.

Liu Xuan was even more surprised when he heard this, this little prince Jiang also arrived in the capital, Yizhou is thousands of miles away from the capital, what did he do in the capital? (To be continued......)
