Chapter 602: Some Things Identity Can't Stop
Leaning back on a recliner and crossing Erlang's legs, he lay on the edge of the lake, enjoying the cool breeze from the lake.
At first, the place where Liu Wei lay was just a pavilion in the back garden of the palace, but then he suddenly thought, in this summer, if he placed a chair by the lake and blew the humid lake breeze, would it be more comfortable? So he asked the guards to move the chairs to the lake.
On the sparkling lake, a fish jumps from time to time. Due to the distance, Liu Wei did not know what kind of fish jumped out of the lake.
However, judging from the characteristics of fish that like to jump on the water, it should be a carp.
"Your Highness!" Just as Liu Wei was lying on the recliner, enjoying the lake breeze, a sweet voice came from behind him.
Hearing the voice behind him, Liu Wei turned his head and glanced back. What appeared in front of him was Diao Chan, who had come to the palace almost every day in the past few days.
Leading the two maids, Diao Chan hired Tingting and walked over to Liu Wei.
She was still wearing the big red Luo skirt that was as bright as a flame, and the skirt of the Luo skirt was wide and long and dragged behind her, which added a little nobility to her.
The lake breeze blew lightly on Diao Chan's body, gently stirring her silk long skirt, and swaying the neckline of the long skirt from side to side.
The neckline of the long skirt is already low, coupled with the dishonest flirting of the wind, Diao Chan's pair of full and fragrant twin peaks looming, which is a little more enchanting than complete protection.
"Princess Anyang!" Seeing Diao Chan walking towards him, Liu Wei sat up, smiled at Diao Chan, and asked her, "Why didn't you study piano art with Zhao Ji today?" ”
"Just came out of Princess Cai!" Slightly bowed, blessed Liu Bian, the corners of Diao Chan's mouth were slightly pulled up, his lips were curved like a crescent moon, showing a sweet smile, and said softly to Liu Bian: "I was about to go home, and I learned that His Highness was by the lake, so I came to talk to His Highness." ”
"This king has already issued an edict, let Wen wait for the teacher!" Sitting on the chair, Liu Wei first mentioned Lu Bu to Diao Chan, and then turned his head and shouted behind him: "Show Princess Anyang to sit." ”
The two bodyguards answered, turned to leave, and after a while, they also moved a chair like the one under Liu Wei and placed it by the lake.
Glancing at the chair placed by the lake, Diao Chan did not refuse, but walked slowly to the chair, followed Liu Wei's example, and sat down lightly.
The closer you get to the lake, the wind blows unscrupulously.
Sitting on the chair, Diao Chan did not turn his gaze to Liu Wei, but stared at the blue lake in front of him.
Knowing that Lu Bu was about to return to Luoyang, a trace of confusion arose from the bottom of Diao Chan's heart, and she didn't know whether she should look forward to Lu Bu's return to Luoyang.
Once Lu Bu returned to Luoyang, what she had long wanted to say to Lu Bu should be said?
The lake breeze stirred Diao's ink-like hair, ruffled her hair, and then threw it down again.
The black ink-like silk gently whipped Diao Chan's delicate cheeks like white jade under the puff of the wind, making her full of gloomy softness.
The collar of Luo's skirt did not cover Diao Chan's white neck, and under the collar, the looming neck exuded a rich fragrance, which made people look at it more and more, and wanted to step forward and gently lift her collar to explore what was inside.
Because Diao Chan did not face Liu Bian, Liu Bian did not see the entanglement in her expression, let alone notice, when looking at the lake, Diao Chan's face even passed a trace of confusion.
Turning his head to see Diao Chan sitting down on the chair, Liu Wei pulled a smile at the corner of his mouth, and said to Diao Chan: "Since this free chair was made, this king asked Yuan Zhi and others to sit, and they all have all kinds of shirks, but they are not as atmospheric as Princess Anyang." ”
"Husbands are afraid of etiquette and refuse to sit down!" Hearing Liu Bian's words, Diao Chan turned his head and smiled at him, and said softly: "It's like this princess, just a daughter, so you don't need to be too careful." ”
The husband in Diao Chan's mouth is not the kind of interpretation that women in later generations called their spouses, but a kind of honorific title for men by women in the late Han Dynasty.
Liu Wei, who has been in the late Han Dynasty for several years, knows the difference between this title. Hearing Diao Chan say such words that analyzed a man's temperament to the fullest, I couldn't help but appreciate Diao Chan's insights a little more.
"How did Your Highness remember to make this Leisure Chair?" Sitting on the chair, Diao Chan had a sweet smile on her face, stared at Liu Wei with beautiful eyes, and said to him softly: "This free chair is really much more comfortable to sit on." ”
"You might as well lie down and try." Returning a smile to Diao Chan, Liu Wei put his hands behind his head, lay down on his back, took a deep breath of moisture by the lake, took a long breath of comfort, and said to Diao Chan: "Lying like this is more comfortable than sitting." ”
Before Liu Wei's words fell, he heard Diao Chan on the side let out a "poof" chuckle.
Hearing Diao Chan laughing, Liu Wei turned his head, looked at her with a confused face and asked, "Why is Princess Anyang laughing?" ”
Diao Chan put down the little hand that was hidden on the sandalwood mouth, his eyes were bent into a crescent moon with a smile, and he said to Liu Wei with a little annoyance in his words: "Why did Your Highness have this kind of life? Although this princess is already married, she is a daughter after all. If you lie on your back in broad daylight, what kind of body will you become? ”
was scolded by Diao Chan, Liu Wei was stunned, and then remembered that the aristocratic women in the late Han Dynasty, although most of them didn't mind the affairs of men and women, they would not dress very casually like ordinary women, so they walked back and forth in the market. As for lying on all fours in the open field, it is even more unlikely.
"Ugh!" Knowing that what he said was wrong, Liu Wei smiled a little embarrassedly, and didn't say anything more, but lay on his back on the recliner, and his eyes turned to the clear blue sky again.
"Your Highness's conquest of the Huns has lasted for several months!" Looking at the lake with shimmering blue waves, Diao Chan had a sweet smile on the corner of his mouth, and said softly as if talking to himself: "This princess heard that Princess Cai was captured by King Zuoxian of the Huns, and His Royal Highness only received eight people, so she infiltrated the 100,000 Hun army and rescued Princess Cai from the Huns. ”
"Yes!" Diao Chan asked about Liu Wei sneaking into the Xiongnu camp with Wang Liu and others, Liu Wei didn't think about it, so he responded: "Zhaoji is the wife of this king, how can this king be willing to let her fall into the hands of the Xiongnu!" ”
"This princess is not the wife of Her Royal Highness, but Her Royal Highness also risked her life that day to rescue this princess from Dong Zhuo's hands." What Liu Wei didn't expect was that Diao Chan was not too entangled in the matter of Cai Yan's capture, but instead led the conversation to the matter in Chang'an City that day.
Listening to what Diao Chan said, Liu Wei was silent again.
He didn't know how to explain to Diao Chan, did he want to tell Diao Chan that he was just impulsive that day, but he wanted to make the guilt of using Diao Chan feel a little better, and Deng Zhan took the lead before he went to save her?
Liu Wei was silent again, Diao Chan sighed lightly, stood up, blessed Liu Bian, and said to Liu Bian: "Once Your Highness sees a woman suffering, he will involuntarily feel pity in his heart. Princess Ben has been thinking about it for a long time these days, and finally figured it out. It's just that His Royal Highness must know that once he helps a woman, some favors are unstoppable by His Highness as the King of Luoyang. ”
After saying this, Diao Chan smiled sweetly at Liu Wei and said softly: "This princess retires, don't disturb Your Highness to appreciate the lake." ”
Diao Chan's words made Liu Wei sit there and be stunned for a long time.
Until Diao Chan led the two maids away, Liu Wei was still staring at her back in a silent daze.
On the streets of Chang'an at this time, in the row of free chairs carried by officials and businessmen to the market, there were ten men in brocade costumes lying side by side.
The ten men were intoxicated one by one, comfortably enjoying the feeling of lying on the chair.
"Good!" The man who first decided to try the chair, after sitting on the chair for a while, praised it, sat up from the chair, stared at the official businessman who brought the chair to the market without blinking, and asked the official businessman: "How much is this free chair?" ”
"Your Excellency, you have forgotten that you have already said earlier that the Easy Chair is only for the neighbors to sit on, but it is not for sale." The official businessman's answer surprised the onlookers, who thought that the official businessman brought these chairs to the market in order to sell them, but they did not expect that the official businessman actually rejected the request of the man in Chinese clothes to buy them.
"A penny!" As soon as the official merchant finished speaking, the man in fancy clothes raised a finger and quoted the price he was willing to offer to the official merchant.
If two thousand years later, there are such two people in the market who are playing a scene of forced buying and not selling, the crowd of onlookers may still have a little sense.
But in the late Han Dynasty, when the people's wisdom was not yet fully civilized and the market was relatively simple, this scene did not arouse people's vigilance.
The man said a lot of money, and the official and businessman smiled and said to him: "It's really not for sale......
"Two hangings!" As soon as the official businessman's words came out, the man raised two fingers and reported the number again.
The official shook his head and did not speak, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was a little brighter than before.
"Five hangings!" Seeing that the official businessman did not react, the man frowned, raised three more fingers, and more than doubled the price.
This price has obviously made the officials and businessmen a little excited. But after a little hesitation, the official businessman shook his head and said to the man: "It really can't be sold......
"Ten hangs, no more!" This time, the man opened both hands and said to the official businessman: "At such a price, it must be sold for ......."
"Okay!" The official and businessman were very entangled and silent for a moment, and finally nodded, and said to the man: "Since Your Excellency likes it, I will take on the role today and sell it to Your Excellency."
The man wanted to spend ten dollars to buy a chair, and the crowd of onlookers was in an uproar.
Ten hanging money, for nobles and businessmen, may really be nothing, but for ordinary people, even if they have a good life now, it is also the income of their whole family for a whole year.
