There were large and ornate beds in the court, which dragged long drapery to the floor. There is a small amount of green smoke in the cave, and the spices are carefully blended to not only make the smell good, but also to repel mosquitoes, and there are no mosquitoes in the dormitory, everything is very comfortable.

But if Zhou Xian could do it to her liking, she wouldn't want to sleep here at all. But she had to have sex with Li Yu every night, so that he would have an excuse not to be happy with other concubines. Therefore, some women in the palace still slandered Zhou Xian behind their backs, feeling that she had to be favored and dominated.

She's a little tired of it.

When he went to bed, Li Yu was still talking about his schemes: "Han Xizai looks down on me and the Southern Tang Kingdom, he thinks that I will definitely lose, so he is unwilling to give advice to me, for fear that he will be ridiculed by the northern scholars if he fails, so he pretends to be unruly and spends all day drinking at home." Since this person is an official in the Southern Tang Kingdom, he takes me as a servant, and he thinks like this, which really makes me very sad......"

"Han Xizai is a tall man, maybe he is a person who is greedy for pleasure." Zhou Xian replied quietly, "Why doesn't the king see him and ask him what he thinks in person?" ”

Although her voice is very good, her emotions are flat and straightforward, and she has not made any waves, and she has even felt a sense of interest. Perhaps in the past, when she heard Li Yu talk about power and conspiracy, she would talk to him with great interest, because she would feel that her husband was very smart and powerful, so she would be enthusiastic; But now she really can't get interested.

Li Yu said coldly: "People's hearts are unpredictable, I ask him like this, will he talk to me in his heart?" ”

Li Yu once dreamed of power, but now he has it, first the crown prince, and then succeeded to the throne of the great Southern Tang Kingdom, everything is very fast and smooth...... However, Zhou Xian was more confused, what was the use of getting all this, just to worry about it every day? Zhou Xian understands herself, interest is not power, what she is greedy for is only affection.

Zhou Xian now spends his time in such boring days every day, and he is not interested in anything. Sometimes she thinks that everything in the world is the same color, gray, black, gray, black, without any brilliance.

She rolled over and lay flat on the bed. When I came back, my breasts, which were getting fuller, naturally spread out to the sides, and the height of the clothes was much shorter, but they were still very plump and protruding in the light clothes, and the abdomen was very smooth. She inadvertently put her hand on her stomach, and when her fingers moved, she was blocked by a bone, and hurriedly retracted her hand.

Subconsciously, she wanted to turn over and sigh again, but she immediately realized that such a performance might arouse Li Yu's suspicions, so she lay down and didn't make a sound.

In the dim light, Zhou Xian looked depressed, and his eyebrows were shrouded in sorrow. I don't know how it became like this, maybe I should resent the former prince Li Hongji, he made Li Yu disabled, but Li Hongji is dead, it's useless to hate him...... Li Yu's body was like this before he came to Tokyo last year, but Zhou Xian didn't feel like this now, she felt that Guo Shao was to blame, it was he who let himself fall into this kind of boring life!

She said lazily: "The king shouldn't have sent someone to spy on Han Xizai, if Han Xizai knew, he would be unhappy." ”

"I'm not happy either." Li Yu said angrily, "He doesn't have the same heart with me, and no one in the world has the same heart as me, and I am about to become a loner." ”

Zhou Xian opened his mouth, speechless to describe the unpleasantness that this kind of thing brought to others.

At this moment, Li Yu tilted his head, his gaze swept up and down from Zhou Xian, and stopped for a moment on her face and hands. Zhou Xian sensed Li Yu's gaze, and after a while, he quietly took his hands from his abdomen one after another.

Li Yu turned over, smiled and whispered: "There are many ways to satisfy the woman......

"What does the king mean? What do you think of me? Zhou Xian subconsciously scolded him.

Li Yu asked softly, "Emperor E really never wanted to?" ”

That kind of desire has always been a shame in Zhou Xian's eyes, and when she mentions it, she will naturally want to protect and cover herself, so she immediately reacted like that without thinking much about it just now. However, Zhou Xian quickly came back to his senses...... She had to recall one thing.

When she and Li Yu were still living in the East Palace, there was a hole in the wall of the dormitory where you could peep inside. And before she found the hole, she had done some things quietly, all of which were a person's secrets, and she thought that no one knew, but Li Yu probably saw them all.

Zhou Xian remembered that incident, he was ashamed and annoyed, but he didn't have the face to say anything. At that moment, I had to reply: "I still wanted to ...... before"

"When? Don't want to think about it now? Li Yu hurriedly asked.

Zhou Xian said helplessly: "When the king has not succeeded to the throne. Later, I was worried about other things, and I didn't think about that aspect for a long time, and when I mentioned it again, I was quite disgusted. I'm not interested, I don't need to mention it again. ”

Li Yu didn't say anything more after hearing this.

Zhou Xian quietly observed his face, knowing that he had passed the test again. If he had just said that he never wanted to, he would have suspected that he had lied to him...... I never thought about it, how could I quietly do such a shameful thing in the East Palace?

Li Yu groaned: "Whatever Emperor E wants, just tell me, and I will do my best to treat you well." ”

Zhou Xian said softly: "The concubine Xie is the favor of the king." ”

The two talked for a while, and went to sleep as usual.

…… Li Yu got up very early the next day, and when the eunuch Gao Ji beside him was serving and dressing, he whispered: "The slave family has found someone to ask clearly, Liu Liuyi, who performed the sword dance in Han Xizai's mansion last night, is very promising, she is Liu Renzhan's daughter." ”

"Liu Renzhan ......" Li Yu suddenly thought thoughtfully.

The eunuch Gao Ji thought that he was thinking about who Liu Renzhan was, so he immediately explained: "During the Battle of Huainan, Liu Renzhan was the general who defended Shouzhou, and Guo Shao broke through the city, and their father and son led more than 20,000 elite people of the Southern Tang Kingdom to surrender without a fight. Taishang blamed him and seized his mansion in Jinling; And his fertile land in Huainan has been occupied by the Zhou army, and all the concubines in the mansion have fled, so Liu Liuqi has fallen to Jinling, but somehow he got to Han Xizai's mansion. ”

Liu Renzhan was a very famous general in the Southern Tang Kingdom, and of course Li Yu knew who it was, and he was thinking about other things.

Li Yu thought for a while and said, "You go to Han Xizai's mansion and invite Liu Liuqi to the palace, and I will see her when I come back from the last court." ”

"Whoa." The eunuch hurriedly replied.

Li Yu first went to the court to meet the minister, and then waited for the person to be seen at a pavilion in the imperial garden. Walking out of the palace, the sun was shining outside, the grass was lush, and after breathing a breath of fresh air, Li Yu's mood was a lot more relaxed.

He waited unhurriedly in the water pavilion to drink tea, and after a long time, the eunuch finally came along the road with a handsome young lady. Li Yu observed for a while and found that the little lady's skin was white, but there was a lack of the gentleness of the ordinary little lady between her feet, and she was very free and decisive. Li Yu said in his heart: Even the generals are a little fierce in their families.

There were also some palace maids around Li Yu, and when he saw him meeting a strange little lady, he also had a curious look on his face. It was difficult for Li Yu to get close to women other than the queen, and everyone couldn't help but see what kind of person the little lady looked like.

The eunuch gently reminded the little lady next to her, and the woman knelt on the ground and bowed, "Concubine Liu Liuqi bows to the king." ”

"Hurry up, please." Li Yu personally stepped forward to support Liu Liuyi. He didn't just make a move, but really held Liu Liuyi's hand. Her cheeks flushed slightly.

Li Yu glanced sideways slightly, and the eunuch Gao Ji immediately beckoned his attendants to leave the pavilion.

"I have not been on the throne for a long time, and I have little leisure. I just heard that Liu Renzhan's daughter is in Jinling, so I saw it. Li Yu said.

Liu Liuqi had already stood up, stood in front of him respectfully, and said, "The daughter of the concubine is a criminal general, it is a great honor to be summoned by the king today. ”

Li Yu shook his head and said: "Liu Renzhan is a hero of the Southern Tang Kingdom, how can he be called a criminal general?" ”

The lord of the country overturned the case for Liu Renzhan in a word, and Liu Liuqi suddenly had a look of surprise on his face.

Li Yu said seriously: "Huainan was defeated, the morale of the country was depressed, and my father just accepted a courtyard of the Liu family in Jinling as a punishment. In fact, we don't blame Liu Renzhan, he has done his best. But unexpectedly, Liu Renzhan's daughter was reduced to Si, and I was negligent, and I really treated you badly. ”

"The concubine doesn't dare." Liu Liuqi hurriedly said, "Thank you for the king's grace." ”

"Father?" Li Yu frowned and said, "Do you think Liu Gongshang is still in the world?" ”

Liu Liuqi exclaimed: "Has my father passed away......

Li Yu looked at her expression quietly and asked, "What do you know about Liu Gong?" ”

Liu Liuqi said: "After my father lost Shouzhou, my father and brother were captured by the Zhou army, and I heard that they were escorted to Tokyo. The concubine didn't know anything about what happened next. ”

Li Yu listened to it and said, "You have always been in Jiangnan, no wonder you don't know." Last year, when the Southern Tang Kingdom was in turmoil, I stayed in Tokyo for a while, and it was rumored that Liu Gong had passed away. I heard from a good friend that Liu Gong was humiliated by the Zhou Dynasty and died in anger...... Alas, it's a pity, but I know that although Duke Liu surrendered, it was to protect the people of Shouzhou City, and he had always been unyielding and unyielding from the official position of the Zhou Dynasty, so it was no wonder that he was treated like this. ”

"Father......" Liu Liuyi's expression changed, and he fell to his knees again with a pale face.

Li Yu observed Liu Liuqi for a while, and felt that she was convinced, after all, a lord of a country would not open his mouth. Li Yu looked sad and persuaded: "Mrs. Liu mourns." ”

As soon as she said the festival mourning, tears slid down Liu Liuqi's cheeks, she didn't cry, she only sobbed there.

Li Yu sighed: "The country is declining, the courtiers are humiliated, and I am also at fault. ”

"Don't dare to let the king blame himself, our Liu family did not do his duty for the king to defend the land." Liu Liuqi cried.

Li Yu helped the teary-eyed little lady to get up, pointed to the bench next to her and sat down, gave a gentle admonition, and said: "Duke Liu is a good minister of the Southern Tang Kingdom, I can't sit back and watch his descendants fall into the rivers and lakes, so you can stay in the palace." He also reminded, "There are many people in the palace, so don't tell your origin for the time being." ”
