Chapter 344: Cocoon and self-restraint

Watching Xiahou Hui walk into the main hall, Dong Yun smiled quietly, and the afterglow fell on Liu Chan's face. Liu Chan didn't notice Dong Yun's eyes at all, or he didn't notice the others at all, at this moment, there was only Xiahou Hui in his eyes.

Xiahou Hui was dressed very plainly, her jet-black hair was pulled into a simple bun, and there was not much jewelry on the bun, only a golden step, which slowly shook with her steps. Two jade beads were worn on the translucent earlobes, which made the complexion even more frosty. The clothes on the body are not brocade clothes, but an ordinary Shu cloth clothes, but the style is very beautiful, it is a swallowtail-shaped robe, which is decorated with a light green coat, like a piece of green leaves embellished on a jade tree carved from white jade. Under the long skirt, a pair of pale cyan cloth shoes loomed.

Xiahou Hui was already beautiful, her eyebrows were as black as dai, her face was as white as jade, her facial features were upright and exquisite, even if she was exposed to the wind and sun every day in the past few days, she did not tan her complexion, on the contrary, it was many days of hard work that made her originally thin body more solid and plump, and she had a little more heroic spirit in her gestures, revealing the vitality that ordinary women rarely see.

The women of this year are roughly divided into two categories, one is pampered, with a delicate face, but inevitably weak, and the other is a strong body, but because of overwork and a rough face, Xiahou Hui just combines the strengths of the two, and suddenly compares the women that Liu Chan has seen.

Liu Chan was stunned for a moment, and he didn't come back to his senses until Xiahou Hui bowed down in front of him, until the queen next to him poked him with her elbow, he suddenly reacted and said loudly: "Flat." Flat! As he spoke, he got up as if he was going to help, but Queen Zhang was in a hurry and grabbed him.

Liu Chan's face turned red all of a sudden, and he also knew that he was rude, so he hurriedly covered it up and said, "This ...... This, she reminds me of my mother. ”

Empress Zhang frowned, and then picked up the conversation: "Is Bixia talking about Mrs. Sun?" ”

Liu Chan sighed and nodded. Suddenly, there was a bit of sullenness.

Seeing Xiahou Xuan and the others, they were surprised. Empress Zhang hurriedly explained: "My cousin and cousin don't know, Bixia was in the public security back then, the first emperor was out on a campaign, and Bixia was raised by Mrs. Sun's mother. and Bixia though not mother and son. The feelings are quite deep. Mrs. Sun is also a strange woman. The cousin is the same age as her back then, and she is indeed a little similar, not only Bixia was moved for a while. Even I was a little surprised. ”

When Xiahou Xuan heard this, he was even more nervous. He knew that Liu Chan had followed Liu Bei to the northwest since he was a child, and he had not lived a good life for a few days, his father Liu Bei was busy with the war, his mother Mrs. Gan died early, and her thirst for family happiness was stronger, Mrs. Sun could leave such a deep impression in his heart, presumably Mrs. Sun was her mother, and now he mistook Xiahou Hui for Mrs. Sun, which is not a good thing.

Xiahou Xuan looked at Xiahou Hui worriedly, but Xiahou Hui remained silent, saluted Queen Zhang and Mrs. Xiahou one by one, and then sat under Xiahou Xuan in a proper manner. From beginning to end, she didn't have the slightest rudeness.

Liu Chan just said that Xiahou Hui was a bit like Mrs. Sun, and naturally there was an element of cover-up, but when this idea came up, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that Xiahou Hui looked like Mrs. Sun, and he couldn't help but look at it a few more times. Empress Zhang lowered her head, and no longer had the heart to hide anything for him, Mrs. Xiahou saw it in her eyes, and her eyes were a little unhappy, but Liu Chan himself was unaware, or rather, he didn't care what others thought, he just kept looking at Xiahou Hui.

This scene made Xiahou Xuan tremble. As an envoy, and an envoy who shoulders the heavy responsibility of forming an alliance with Shu and dividing the monarchs and ministers of Shu, he certainly wanted to see this scene, but when Liu Chan's target was his sister, he didn't think so. He had an in-depth conversation with Xiahou Hui, knew Xiahou Hui's purpose, and knew that Xiahou Hui really had Wei Ba in his heart, so he naturally didn't want to make extraneous branches. In his opinion, although Liu Chan is an emperor, he is too far behind Wei Ba and is not an ideal sister-in-law.

He now understands Dong Yun's intentions, but he can't stop it, he can only passively watch the situation get out of his expectations, and slide farther and farther towards the unknowable abyss. He also lowered his head, and the demeanor of talking and laughing just now was swept away.

His embarrassment fell in Dong Yun's eyes, but Dong Yun was secretly complacent. Wei wants to make peace with Wei Ba, and the meaning of this is well known to anyone with a discerning eye. Zhuge Liang didn't want to let there be a rift within the Jingxiang family, so he naturally tried his best to stop this. However, Zhuge Liang can't stop it directly, he can only delay time, and now Wei Ba is about to return to Chengdu, and there must be a time to solve this matter. At this time, he took advantage of Liu Chan's absurd request to recruit Xiahou Hui into the palace, which was really a good thing to advance and retreat freely and meet both sides.

He knew Liu Chan's temper well, and knew that if Xiahou Hui was really a beautiful person, then Liu Chan would be tempted nine times out of ten. Once Liu Chan is tempted, there will be a conflict between him and Wei Ba. If Wei Ba endures it, then the marriage between him and Wei will naturally fail, the crisis within the Jingxiang family will be lifted, and if Wei Ba wants to retaliate, he can only rely on Zhuge Liang tightly. If Wei Ba refuses to bear it and has a conflict with the emperor, it would be even better, and he would be solved logically by taking the opportunity.

Now Liu Chan frequently cares about Xiahou Hui, and Dong Yun is in his arms. Dong Yuncai doesn't care if he is true because Xiahou Hui is like Mrs. Sun or just a cover-up, as long as Liu Chan is moved by Xiahou Hui, his goal will be achieved. At the thought of being able to solve such a simple problem that Zhuge Liang couldn't even start, he couldn't help but feel a little proud.

But he soon became restless again.

Liu Chan's face suddenly became very weird, he wanted to speak several times and stopped, Zuihou still couldn't hold back, and finally said to Xiahou Hui unhappily: "You don't smile?" ”

Dong Yun was stunned for a moment, glanced at Xiahou Hui's face that was as serious as a tablet, and then remembered that Xiahou Hui had never smiled since he came in, even if it was a polite smile. She sat expressionlessly all the time, not even touching the wine on the table.

No matter how beautiful a person is, if he has always had such an expression, he can't make people happy, but there is a person who is in the corner. The feeling of unhappiness in the seat. As Liu Chan first discovered that Xiahou Hui was not smiling, the atmosphere that was originally just a little embarrassing suddenly became weird. Xiahou Xuan raised her head, Empress Zhang raised her head, and Mrs. Xiahou also looked at Xiahou Hui in surprise, and the two little dolls Zhang Zun and Zhang Xingcai were even more inexplicable.

Zhang Xingcai got up in a hurry, ran to Xiahou Hui's side, and asked with concern, "Sister, what's wrong with you?" Is it thinking of your father and mother? It's okay, my dad is gone, I still have my mother. can be distributed to you. ”

It's okay if Zhang Xingcai's words don't say. Saying this, Xiahou Hui not only did not laugh, but began to cry. Seeing her crying, Liu Chan felt very disappointed. There was no interest in looking at her anymore. An impatient flick of his sleeves. Get up and leave.

When Dong Yun saw it, he hurriedly dissuaded him and said earnestly: "Bixia." Mrs. Xiahou left her hometown and missed her family, which is also a reasonable thing, and she must not have deliberately collided with Bixia. If Bixia leaves the table, won't it hurt the righteousness of benevolence and filial piety? ”

Liu Chan grinned, and reluctantly shouted to Xiahou Hui: "Don't cry, is this the reason?" If you really feel homesick, I will issue an edict to let you go back to Luoyang, crying and crying, which makes people upset. ”

Xiahou Hui gently pushed Zhang Xingcai away, and left the table to say goodbye. "The concubine was sad for a while, disturbing Bixia and the queen, and the sin was unforgivable. However, the concubine does not miss her family, but she misses her husband and feels worthless for her husband. ”

"Your husband?" Liu Chan was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses: "You mean Wei Ba?" He is very good, he won a big victory in Xiangyang, and he will return to Chengdu soon. When I return to Chengdu, I naturally want to reward him, and you can also be reunited, what is there to be sad about. Huh......" Liu Chan suddenly tasted the meaning of Xiahou Hui's words, and couldn't help but change his face: "What are you talking about, it's not worth it?" What is not worth it, does it mean that he should not serve me and serve the country? ”

Dong Yun originally felt that there was something wrong with Xiahou Hui mentioning Wei Ba, and just wanted to stop it, but when he heard this, he immediately stopped talking.

Xiahou Xuan was also anxious, and hurriedly gave Xiahou Hui a look, but Xiahou Hui ignored it, wiped his tears with the corner of his sleeve, and sobbed: "The concubine and husband have just weakened the crown, so they followed their father to fight on the battlefield, and in order to serve the country, they did not hesitate to live and die. In the first battle of Guanzhong last year, he entered Chang'an alone, was recognized by his concubines, and was almost imprisoned. Guanzhong changed hands, Cheng was the great disaster of the Wei State, and for the great luck of the Han State, the concubine and the husband had made great contributions to the country, but they were not rewarded, presumably Bixia may not know his role in the battle of Guanzhong. ”

Liu Chan blinked and did not speak. Dong Yun suddenly understood what Xiahou Hui meant, his face changed, and he shouted: "Bold, how dare you speculate on your intentions?" Is Bixia a person whose reward and punishment are unknown? ”

"Shut up!" Liu Chan shouted impatiently: "In the battle of Guanzhong last year, did Wei Ba have any merit?" ”

Dong Yun's face froze, and he nodded helplessly: "Meritorious, but ......"

"Then the meritorious heroes were rewarded later, was Wei Ba promoted, or was he a gift?"

Dong Yun was speechless, glared at Xiahou Hui resentfully, leaned over to Liu Chan, and was about to pull Liu Chan aside with half pulling and half pushing, but Liu Chan took a step back, walked towards Xiahou Hui, and said loudly: "You continue." ”

Xiahou Hui glanced at Dong Yun, who was pale, with a pale face, and then said: "After the battle of Guanzhong, it was the concubine's husband who built a plan to rebuild a melee, and the Three Kingdoms fought in Xiangyang, which not only relieved the siege of Guanzhong, but also relieved the danger of Wu Guojin forcing Yong'an. Wei and Wu were in the war and could not be at peace, the emperor of Wei and the king of Wu, Sun Quan, were all rushing to the front line, but Bixia sat in Chengdu, and the concubines and husbands were meritorious. ”

Liu Chan thought about it and felt that Xiahou Hui was reasonable. He didn't feel much about the affairs of Guanzhong, but he was very dissatisfied with Sun Quan's entry into Yong'an, of course, Mrs. Sun was asked to go back by Sun Quan, and his father Liu Bei also died in the war with Wu. He has an indescribable resentment towards the State of Wu, which is far more serious than that of the State of Wei. Now Xiahou Hui said that Cao Rui, the emperor of Wei, and Sun Quan, the king of Wu, were both fighting in Xiangyang, but he could stay in Chengdu safely and enjoy happiness, he felt very happy, and he also had a good impression of Wei Ba, who brought him this happiness.

"Yes, when he returns, I will reward him well."

"Bixia, the concubine and the husband have repeatedly made meritorious achievements in this battle of Xiangyang, and his greatest military achievement is to lead the Wei cavalry to attack Sun Quan, resulting in Sun Quan's defeat, and Sun Quan's son Sun is worried about giving the head, such a great achievement, but it has become a big crime in some people's mouths. said that the husband of the concubine destroyed the Han and Wu alliance, and the merit was not worth it, and he should be punished. Thinking of this, can the concubine An have the heart to drink and talk about the banquet? ”

When Liu Chan heard this, he immediately became angry. Defeated Sun Quan and killed Sun Quan's son Sun Wei, what a great merit, how did it become a sin? He was furious, turned to look at Dong Yun, and roared angrily: "Is there such a thing? Does the prime minister know? ”

Suddenly, Dong Yun couldn't wait to slap himself twice. (To be continued......)
