(Today's fifth watch)

The tent was set up, and the furnishings inside were all laid out, Liu Xie put down the scroll, asked Xiao Luozi to order someone to clean it up, and then got into the tent and lay down. ”

Xiao Luo Zitou stretched in and asked, "What does Your Majesty command?" ”

Liu Xie asked: "What about Ling'er, what about Nizi?" ”

Xiao Luozi said: "She didn't want to come to bed, so she hid." ”

Liu Xie shook his head helplessly and said, "This girl, okay, then I will sleep alone tonight." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty," said Xiao Luozi, and withdrew.

As soon as he withdrew, he heard Lu Qiling's voice outside the tent asking, "May I ask my father-in-law, is Your Majesty asleep?" ”

"Gee, where have you been? Your Majesty just asked you? Okay, Your Majesty is asleep, you don't need to serve, you can also go and rest. ”

Liu Xie could hear Lu Qiling's disappointed voice outside, and couldn't help but laugh, so he said, "Is it Ling'er outside?" Come on in. ”

Lu Qiling lifted the curtain and stuck her head in, Liu Xie took a candle and shone it on her, only to see that she was wearing light makeup and pouring incense powder. It turned out that she was going to dress up.

Lu Qiling said: "I'm sorry Your Majesty, the slave is late." ”

"You, I'm actually waiting for you, fortunately I'm not asleep yet, come in."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Lu Qiling smiled, and also very shy lowered her head and got in, seeing that the tent was very small, and there was just a double bunk, she knelt on the bunk and didn't know what to do.

"Why are you stunned?" Liu Xie said, "Hurry up and lie down, are you going to kneel all night?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty," Lu Qiling said and was about to crawl over, but before she could move, the curtain was lifted, and another palace maid came in, which frightened Lu Qiling into exclaim.

Liu Xie said: "What's it called?" She's here to change your clothes. ”

Lu Qiling said: "But this is so small, the slave feels so awkward." ”

"You have a lot to do," Liu Xie said as he told the palace maid to retreat, and ordered that he should not approach without being summoned.

Lu Qiling only then fell down beside Liu Xie and lay down, Liu Xie was half-lying, looking at her sideways, only to see that she had changed into clean clothes and spent light makeup, which was even more moving, and a girl's breath came to her face, splashing incense powder, fragrant.

Lu Qiling closed her eyes and didn't dare to look at him, her face flushed with a smile.

Liu Xie patted her face lightly and said, "Hey, can you relax?" I won't eat you. Open your eyes and look at me. ”

Lu Qiling opened her eyes and looked at Liu Xie, although she faced him, she didn't dare to look at him directly. "You, you're so nervous," Liu Xie said and began to untie her wide clothes, while Lu Qiling lay motionless.

After taking off half of it, he stopped, and Liu Xie said, "Let's talk to me." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Liu Xie also saw that she was too nervous and wanted to ease the atmosphere, so he asked: "Tell me about your experience, have you ever fought a sword to go to the end of the world?" ”

Lu Qiling shook her head, not knowing what he meant by going to the end of the world with a sword.

Liu Xie said: "You are the best in the world in martial arts, and you have more or less inherited his mantle, so you have never gone out?" ”

Lu Qiling said: "The slave has never left the house for half a step. ”

"That's a pity, there is no martial arts. But it's okay, in this troubled world, it's good for you to stay at home with a girl and not go anywhere. Would you like to hear my story? ”

Lu Qiling said: "I want to hear it." ”

Liu Xie said: "I ascended the throne at the age of nine, and I drove a personal expedition, and 6,000 weak soldiers crusaded against Li Guo's 150,000 Xiliang elites, forget it, you must also know this, there are records in folk books and periodicals, and I will tell you what you don't know today." When I was eleven years old, I personally conquered Guo Tai in Hedong, but I didn't expect to make a big mistake, which was a gloomy memory and my most failed experience. ”

Liu Xie told her about his experience, and undressed while talking, and when he finished speaking, both of them finished taking off, and finally summed up: "How is it, do you think that I am sometimes quite stupid, and I am not as invincible as I say in the books and operas." ”

Lu Qiling said: "I don't think, Your Majesty, there are successes and failures, this is a complete life, who can guarantee that they will never lose?" The slave maid felt that it was not terrible to lose, but she was afraid that she could not afford to lose. ”

"That's right! It's rare for you to have such a profile," Liu Xie said, turning over and pressing over.

Because the story was so exciting, Lu Qiling was too fascinated by it, only to find that she had been stripped naked, and she screamed, and then stopped making a sound.

The next day, both of them woke up early in the morning, and Lu Qiling said: "Your Majesty wants to go to court early, and the slaves and maids will serve you and dress." ”

Liu Xie said: "Don't call yourself a slave and a slave, and call yourself a concubine in the future." When the filial piety period is over, I will accept you as a concubine and live in the North Palace. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Xie stretched out his hand to let her dress herself, and said, "Do you know what is the difference between you and Zou Yuan Diao Chan?" ”

"Slave, oh no, the concubine doesn't know."

Liu Xie said: "Zou Yuan Diao Chan is mature and powerful, and you are delicate, youthful, each with its own strengths and charm." ”

As he was talking, a palace maid outside asked, "Your Majesty, the slave maid is coming in." ”

Lu Qiling was shocked: "Why did she come in, I haven't dressed yet." ”

Liu Xie said, "Come in." ”

Lu Qiling was so panicked that she hurriedly pulled the quilt to cover her shame, the door curtain was opened, and a palace maid came in, put away the sheets, and said: "There is a falling red, and the slave and maid have taken it." ”

After that, the palace maid went out with the sheets, and no one bothered her.

Lu Qiling was so ashamed that she bowed her head and said nothing, but Liu Xie laughed: "Don't mind, this is a rule set by the palace, and I don't know which generation to start, I can do it." ”

Collecting red has been the custom of the Han Palace for many years, and whenever there is a newlywed, there will be a palace maid to collect the red to confirm the newlyweds' chastity.

But Liu Xie doesn't care about this, as long as he is loyal to himself after becoming his own woman, he doesn't care about before. But the etiquette of the Han Dynasty is here, and girls regard their chastity as more important than life, especially before becoming the emperor's woman, and they cherish it even more.

Even if Liu Xie doesn't care, these newcomers are all virgin chastity.

As for people like Zou Yuan, Diao Chan and Cai Yan, they are from the past, and after Liu Xie's first visit to them, the palace maids will not come in to collect Luohong, because they know that they can't collect it when they come, so they simply don't collect it, so as not to be embarrassed.

But said that after the two of them got dressed, in addition to the tent, under the service of the palace maids, they washed and ate, and Liu Xie said to Lu Qiling: "You can rest in my heart palace now, and I will go to the early dynasty." ”

Lu Qiling said: "There is no need to rest, the concubine is still a palace maid, just continue to work." ”

Liu Xie was in a hurry to go to the early dynasty to discuss Yuan Shu's claim to be emperor, so he didn't say anything more and went to the Qinzheng Palace.
