Chapter 9 Tricky Tricks

A little, the jade plate is shy, all kinds of fruits, the people in the house are holding the marigold one by one, and the fish is running in, and it doesn't take long to fill the gilt case.

The jade dew elixir, the fragrance overflowed, Princess Pingyang raised the bottle and said: "Your Majesty, today is the Shangsi Festival, Pingyang wishes Your Majesty the Holy Eucharist good health!" Drain! ”

"Thank you, Sister Huang! Drain! Liu Che raised the bottle to greet him and drank it all.

"Your Majesty, Pingyang Mansion has recently rehearsed a new dance music, please take a look!" The dance music of the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion, the capital knows its subtlety, the emperor is here, and the princess of Pingyang naturally wants to come up with the finale.

"Good!" Liu Che said with a smile, "The dance music in the Imperial Sister's Mansion has always been a must-have in Chang'an City, and I am fortunate today!" ”

"Your Majesty's praise!" Princess Pingyang smiled with her cheeks and said with a radiant expression: "Spread the song and dance!" ”

When the chime rang, several delicate women fluttered, fluttering with the orchestra, fluttering in their clothes, dancing in a light posture, and dancing gracefully. I saw that these women either lowered their eyebrows and raised their wrists, or were gentle and soft, and their eyes were full of charm, and when they looked back and smiled, Liu Che couldn't help but applaud.

At the end of the song, all the women slowly closed their sleeves, gathered in a circle, lowered their eyebrows, and suddenly heard a clear piano sound, only to see that all the singers retreated to all sides, like a flower bud slowly opening, and there was a woman in white in the center of the stamen singing in a low voice:

"The leaves are pale, the white dew is frost, and there is a beautiful woman, on the water side." The singing voice is as clear as the clear sound of the empty valley, clear and light, "Tracing back to it, the road is obstructive and long." Tracing from it, it is like being in the middle of the water. ”

Liu Che seemed to freeze when he heard the sound, and he even forgot to drink the wine bottle sent to his lips, and only listened motionlessly.

"The leaves are green, and the white dew is not dawning. The so-called Yi people are in the water of the Mae. Tracing back from it, the road is blocked and climbing, tracing from it, just like in the water. ”

Wei Zifu dotted flowers on his toes, and the lotus steps moved lightly, like a fairy Ling Bo treading water, floating away. I saw her slender waist dancing in the wind, her hands slightly spreading, flying like a frightening dragon, like a dragon, and between the shallow chanting and dancing, Liu Che only felt that there seemed to be thousands of stamens blooming in his heart, scorching Yanhua.

Is it really her? Liu Che looked at it fixedly, Yiren's eyebrows were like distant mountains, his eyes were like autumn water, and the mountains and rivers were like a beautiful painting, coming towards him - that day by the river was like a blooming white lotus, but she was dancing lightly in the wind? The woman who made him think about it and never forget it was her in front of him?

-----

Looking at the distinguished guests in the seat, Wei Zifu was also surprised, I heard that the Son of Heaven was here today, but how could the guest be Cao Gongzi who helped by the river that day? Although there were doubts in his heart, Wei Zifu was full of lotus flowers, and he didn't dare to be careless, taking advantage of a turnaround, Wei Zifu looked sideways, who knew that he was meeting the guests in the seat, and the intersection of the four eyes was like a lightning flint meeting, and in an instant Wei Zifu's heart was soft, and he lowered his head shyly.

Princess Pingyang was quite surprised when she saw Liu Che's gaffe, her younger brother has always had eyes higher than the sky, and it is really rare for him to appreciate this song and dance so much, so she couldn't help laughing and said: "Your Majesty thinks that the song and dance in Pingyang Mansion is better than the palace, how does it?" ”

Liu Che didn't answer when he heard this, he looked at the dancing woman in white and asked, "Sister Huang, is this woman named Wei Zifu?" ”

Princess Pingyang followed Liu Che's gaze and couldn't help but nod in surprise, "It's indeed Wei Zifu, how does Your Majesty know her?" ”

Liu Che said with a smile: "Han Yan and I went out of the city to hunt that day, and I had a relationship with her outside the city. ”

"What such a coincidence!" Princess Pingyang said with a smile, "The maidservant girl who saved me in Pingyang County that day was her!" ”

"Is that her?" Liu Che smiled dumbly, "Seeing her so delicate, I didn't expect to be so smart!" ”

At this time, after the song was finished, all the singers lightly closed their sleeves, bowed down, and retreated one by one, Princess Pingyang said: "The husband stays!" ”

The singers looked at Wei Zifu and smiled and retreated, Wei Zifu's heart moved, he lowered his head and stepped forward, and bowed and said, "Princess!" ”

Princess Pingyang smiled and said, "Zifu, this is the saint of today, do you recognize it?" ”

Wei Zifu slowly raised his eyes, and saw that it was the son who saved him that day who was sitting in the banquet, and his heart was like a deer for a while, and he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Cao Gongzi..." ”

"Gongzi Cao?" Princess Pingyang couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, looked at Liu Che and said, "Your Majesty, didn't you pretend to be Cao Shou again?" ”

Liu Che lowered his head and smiled: "Sister Huang, I know my ears!" ”

Listening to the conversation between Princess Pingyang and Liu Che, Wei Zifu couldn't help but laugh in his heart, this majesty was too playful, thinking of his sparseness and meticulousness that day, Wei Zifu couldn't help but have a light smile on his lips.

Liu Che noticed the smile on Wei Zifu's lips and couldn't help asking, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Wei Zifu hurriedly smiled, lowered his head, and said respectfully: "The slave and maid don't dare, the slave and maid thank Your Majesty for saving you!" ”

Seeing that Wei Zifu was so restrained, Liu Che couldn't help but smile and said, "I knew you were like this, it's better for me to always think of myself as Cao Gongzi!" ”

"Zifu doesn't have to be restrained!" Princess Pingyang also smiled and said, "Your Majesty rarely comes to the mansion, you can pour wine for His Majesty!" ”

Wei Zifu agreed to the promise, then stepped forward to pour a bottle of wine for Liu Che, and stood on the side with his head bowed backwards.

Since the separation, although he has been thinking about him, but for the first time he can get close to him so really, Wei Zifu can't help but feel an indescribable feeling in his heart. When they met that day, she knew that he was by no means an ordinary ordinary citizen, but she never thought that he would be today! There is such a difference between the two, how can I have such thoughts? Wei Zifu couldn't help but secretly annoy that he didn't have self-knowledge.

And the beauty is on the side, Liu Che has no intention of drinking and enjoying fun, but he can't say it to Princess Pingyang, so he can only talk about local customs, interesting things in the market, chat for entertainment, and wait for the time before it is too early, so he also drove back to the palace.

-----

After a long time, Princess Pingyang also understood that Liu Che's drunkard did not mean to drink, so while singing and dancing, Princess Pingyang sent away the people on the left and right, and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, do you like the singing and dancing in Pingyang Mansion?" ”

Liu Che nodded and smiled: "Of course, otherwise I won't come often!" ”

Princess Pingyang couldn't help but smile when she heard this: "Or, does Your Majesty prefer people who sing and dance?" ”

Liu Che didn't expect Princess Pingyang to ask such a question, so he couldn't help blushing and said, "What are you talking about, imperial sister?" ”

Princess Pingyang smiled and said, "You and my sister and brother, a mother and a compatriot, if Your Majesty likes it, you don't have to hide it from your sister!" ”

Liu Che had no intention of hiding it, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but get up, and bowed: "I hope that the imperial sister will be successful!" ”

Seeing this, Princess Pingyang hurriedly got up and said, "Your Majesty is serious! Pingyang already had the intention to let his husband take care of His Majesty, and His Majesty's palace was lonely, and it was good to have many confidants. ”

"Thank you, Sister Huang!" Liu Che was grateful, but a little hesitant, "I just don't know what she wants..."

Princess Pingyang smiled slightly: "How many women in the world dream of getting the Holy Grace, and she is a little nemesis who can have such a blessing is already the shadow of her ancestors!" ”

"Imperial Sister, you know that I didn't mean that..."Liu Che quickly explained.

"Yes! Yes! Princess Pingyang chuckled, "I understand Your Majesty's intentions!" Is Your Majesty worried about being abrupt? ”

"Hmm!" Liu Che nodded and said, "It's still the imperial sister who knows me best!" ”

Princess Pingyang said: "According to Pingyang, the husband should have a majesty in his heart!" ”

"Why did the imperial sister say that?" Liu Che was surprised.

"That day I saw her in the courtyard to a side of the brocade hand, came closer to see a few green bamboos embroidered on the handkerchief, just look at the exquisiteness of the embroidery, then know that this handkerchief is a thing in the palace. Looking at the little blood stains on the handkerchief again, Pingyang remembered that His Majesty had saved his husband outside the city, and the combination of the two deduced that the person in his husband's mind should be His Majesty! ”

"Jinpa..."Liu Che muttered to himself, suddenly his eyes were bright, and he said: "She was bitten by a snake that day, and I did take out a handkerchief to bandage her, according to the imperial sister, she must not have discarded the handkerchief!" ”

"Why not throw it away!" Princess Pingyang smiled, "I'm afraid it's just a personal carry!" ”

"Imperial sister..."Liu Che's cheeks flushed slightly, and Princess Pingyang stopped laughing when she saw this: "Your Majesty, leave this matter to Pingyang!" I will definitely do it for Your Majesty! ”

Liu Che groaned slightly when he heard this, and bowed his hand and said: "Sister Huang, then I will come back in three days, there will be Sister Laohuang!" ”

Princess Pingyang smiled, bowed and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”

-----

Three days passed in a flash, Liu Che came to Pingyang Hou's Mansion again, the same wine and food, the same beautiful beauty, but Wei Zifu disappeared from the slow song and dance, Liu Che couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Sister Huang, Zifu she?" ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry!" Princess Pingyang said with a smile: "Your Majesty drinks with peace of mind, enjoys the dance, and the husband is waiting for Your Majesty in the back room." ”

Liu Che's face turned red and said, "Sister Huang, she... But agreed? ”

Princess Pingyang smiled: "That's nature! ”

-----

In the warm pavilion of the wing room, Wei Zifu came out in red clothes after Tang Mu, only to see her green silk like satin, her skin is better than snow, her eyes are like stars, and she looks forward to shining. She walked slowly to the brocade couch and sat down slowly.

The scene from three days ago resurfaced.

"Sister Zifu, the princess called you to Xiyuan!" The maidservants in the house came to the music shop to spread the word, Wei Zifu was studying the new score with Xu Leguan, and when he heard the words, he quickly put down the score and got up to go to the West Garden.

"I've seen the princess!" Wei Zifu bowed, Princess Pingyang waved her hand to signal the left and right maids to retreat, Fang Hanxiao stepped forward to help, and said, "No courtesy, sit down and talk!" ”

Wei Zifu hurriedly said: "The slave doesn't dare!" What does the princess command! ”

Princess Pingyang said with a smile: "This matter is not an order, and this princess will not beat around the bush, just ask you, are you willing to serve Your Majesty?" ”

Serving Your Majesty? This is something she dreams of, but she doesn't dare to think about, how can she be a husband of Wei Zifu, how can she serve today?

Seeing that Wei Zifu was silent, Princess Pingyang smiled lightly and said, "If you don't want to, I will return to Your Majesty!" ”

"Princess, don't!" Wei Zifu blurted out, and after saying that, Fang felt that he was out of shape, and bowed his head with a red face and said, "Zifu... Willing! ”

Princess Pingyang was not surprised to see this, and said with a smile: "Okay! As he spoke, he took Wei Zifu's hand and sat down and said, "I already know that you love Your Majesty..."

"Princess..."

Princess Pingyang smiled and shook her head, and said in a good voice: "You don't have to explain anything, my fair lady and gentleman, Your Majesty and you have the same mind." ”

Princess Pingyang's voice was very soft and soft, but it crossed a large ripple in Wei Zifu's heart, he was so outstanding in the world, he would fall in love with her such a little slave, at that moment, she seemed to see the most beautiful picture in the world.

"In three days, Your Majesty will come to the mansion again, you don't have to go to the music shop these days, you can rest for a long time, and you should serve your majesty carefully when you come here!"

"No!" Wei Zifu responded.

"And..."Princess Pingyang said this, with a little pause, "After this incident, Your Majesty may not be able to take you back to the palace, do you understand the meaning of this?" ”

Princess Pingyang looked at Wei Zifu and said slowly, why didn't Wei Zifu understand the meaning of the princess's words, as a slave and maid, her status was low, how could she expect to fly on the branches and be a phoenix one day?

But she never had any distractions in her heart for him. Since that day he was rescued, he had him in his heart, and he thought that he would never see each other again in this life, but who expected to meet in the Hou Mansion again, and what he didn't expect was that he also had feelings for her, and this kind of encounter made her make up her mind a long time ago, even if she knew that there was no result, she was willing to do it.

"Princess, the slave knows!" Wei Zifu's expression did not change, and his words were unwavering.

This was unexpectedly surprised by Princess Pingyang, and she couldn't help but feel a little approving, and nodded: "Okay!" ”
