Chapter 382: Tenderness Like Water
rested at Tao Huanniang's residence for one night, and it wasn't until the sun was three poles above that Liu Wei opened his eyes lazily.
When Liu Wei opened his eyes, Tao Huanniang, who had been under him the night before, was not beside him. There was no one on the pillow, only the lingering fragrance left by Tao Huanniang after she got up.
Liu Wei was not surprised by this, Tao Huanniang, who was used to living a hard life in the countryside, had long been accustomed to getting up early, and at this moment she should be preparing washing water for Liu Wei.
"Your Highness is awake?" Turning over, and was about to squint for a while, Tao Huanniang's voice came from Liu Wei's ears.
Hearing Tao Huanniang call him, Liu Wei turned over and changed to a supine position, turned his head and looked at the door of the inner room.
I saw Tao Huanniang holding a wooden basin filled with some water, swaying lightly on her willow waist, and walked into the house in style.
Maybe it's because of the long days of contact with Tang Ji and others, and now Tao Huanniang, between her gestures, she has the unique bearing of a noble woman. The rustic atmosphere in her body was much weaker, replaced by grace and luxury that she had never had before.
However, although Tao Huanniang has almost been reborn in her bones, her dress and care for Liu Wei are the same as before, and there has been no change in the slightest.
She was still wearing a simple deep cloth robe, a deep coat made of linen, wrapped in her mature jade body, so that she was full of a charm that had a strong temptation for men.
What is commendable is that every time Liu Wei stays with her, she will personally serve tea and water, for fear that the maid will not take good care of her and neglect Liu Wei.
Following Tao Huanniang into the inner room, there were two maidservants wearing pink floral palace women's clothes. In the hands of the two maidservants, each held a tray, one of which contained a new set of fine clothes, while on the other tray was a pair of splendid cloud shoes.
"The concubine is waiting for His Highness to wash!" After putting the wooden basin away, Tao Huanniang knelt beside the bed, bowed slightly, and said to Liu Wei in a soft tone: "In the past many days, His Royal Highness must be tired from fighting abroad. Two days ago, Mr. Hua Tuo diagnosed the pulse of Princess Tang, and the concubine happened to be on the side, and he heard that Mr. had no intention of mentioning a set of stilt techniques, so he asked Mr. for some skills, I wonder if His Royal Highness wants to try it? ”
"The art of stilts?" Hearing from Tao Huanniang's mouth that she had learned medicine from Hua Tuo, Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "What is a stilt?" ”
"Your Highness will know if you try it!" Tao Huanniang didn't explain much to Liu Wei, just smiled sweetly, picked up the basin again, swung it to the side, took off her shoes and put it on the bed.
"The concubine will serve His Highness!" On the bed, Tao Huanniang gently rested her hands on Liu Bian's arms, and ten weak and boneless fingers slowly kneaded them, kneading them while saying to Liu Bian: "This is the technique of pressing stilts, according to Mr. Hua Tuo, this technique can relieve tiredness." The concubine is thinking about it, His Royal Highness is tired every day, if he can often press it for His Highness, His Highness can also use it. ”
It may be because she has only been studying for two days, Tao Huanniang's technique is still very rusty, but when she pressed it on Liu Bian, Liu Bian felt a burst of comfort all over her body, and she couldn't help but feel a little inexplicably moved by Tao Huanniang's delicate mind and dexterity.
The so-called stilts are actually the massage of later generations. However, the technique of stilts is much less than the tricks of massage, it is only through the massage of the human body's acupuncture points to achieve the effect of relieving fatigue, which can be regarded as the most primitive massage technique. Because few people recognized it, this skill was not widely used in the last years of the Han Dynasty, and only a healer like Hua Tuo understood the essence of it.
"Huanniang!" When Tao Huanniang helped him press his arm, Liu Wei turned over, lying on his back up, while receiving Tao Huanniang's massage, he turned his head to look at her and asked: "This technique is not something that can be learned overnight, how did you learn it so quickly?" ”
"Thanks to the servants!" While defending Liu, Tao Huanniang said to him: "Mr. Hua Tuo didn't teach too much about the concubine's body, but only gave the concubine two pictures. Although the concubine didn't know the words, she found the right position in the picture. In the past two days, the concubine body was pressed by the maids, and it was not until they felt cool that the concubine body dared to mention it to His Royal Highness. ”
"Uh......" Tao Huanniang said this, Liu Wei finally understood, daring Hua Tuo did not teach her the skills himself, but just gave her two drawings of the stilt technique, she followed the map to ask for Ji, and tried her handmaid in costumes, and it only took two days to learn this skill.
"Your Highness!" After pressing for Liu Wei for half an hour, Tao Huanniang raised her sleeves, wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead due to constant exertion, and said softly to Liu Bian: "Is there a little Shutai?" ”
"Very comfortable!" Liu Wei turned over, lay on his back on the cover, let out a long breath, took one of Tao Huanniang's small hands, looked at her with affectionate eyes, and whispered to her: "Huanniang is so intimate, I really want this king to be moved inexplicably......"
"The concubine is His Royal Highness's wife......" kneeling beside Liu Bian, Tao Huanniang's delicate face had a sweet smile, and said to Liu Bian: "Huanniang does not have the talent of Princess Cai, and she knows how to be elegant in poetry; is not as proficient in music and singing and dancing as Princess Tang. All I can do for His Highness is to mend the seams and relieve His Highness's tiredness. ”
Tao Huanniang's words were very intimate. Moved, Liu Wei stretched out a hand behind her, and gently caressed her full and round buttocks with his palm, although he didn't speak, when he looked at her, his face was full of smiles.
The buttocks were gently caressed by Liu Wei, and there was a feeling of numbness and crispiness, which went straight to the limbs. Maybe there were two maidservants standing behind her, Tao Huanniang felt a little ashamed, and after Liu Wei caressed her for a while, she whispered to Liu Wei: "The concubine personally cut a new dress for His Royal Highness, and also accepted a pair of shoes, please give it a try!" ”
"Hmm!" Lying on the bed, Liu Wei answered softly, then sat up, raised his hands, stretched his waist, and praised it very comfortably: "Comfortable!" It's so comfortable! Huanniang's hand stilt technique is really amazing! This king only felt that the bones all over his body were as comfortable as crispy! ”
Kneeling on the side, Tao Huanniang didn't answer, just smiled sweetly at Liu Wei, and then beckoned to the two maids standing behind her.
The maidservant girl holding the tray of shoes stepped forward first, half-knelt on the ground, lifted the tray high, and presented it to Tao Huanniang.
Taking off the shoes from the tray, Tao Huanniang whispered to Liu Wei: "These shoes, the concubine has a lot of silk wool on the soles, and His Royal Highness should be slightly softer than the previous shoes when they are worn." ”
Sitting on the bed, Liu Wei propped his arms behind him and handed one foot to Tao Huanniang, watching her put a shoe on his foot.
The shoes were worn on the feet, and Liu Wei really felt that these shoes were softer than the shoes he had worn before, although he had not yet walked on the ground, he could already feel that the shoes fit and were comfortable.
When Tao Huanniang helped Liu Wei put on both shoes with her own hands, another maid also took two steps forward, half-knelt beside Tao Huanniang, and lifted the tray with gorgeous clothes above her head.
Taking out the gorgeous clothes from the tray, Tao Huanniang did not get up immediately, but stared at Liu Wei with beautiful eyes.
Knowing that she was going to help him dress with her own hands, Liu Wei stood up, raised his hands flat, and made a posture of letting Jun fiddle.
Seeing him like this, Tao Huanniang laughed softly, then shook off the gorgeous clothes, stood up and helped Liu Wei put on this newly cut dress.
This set of gorgeous clothes is made of good silk, and the color of the clothing is purple that is extremely difficult to print and dye in the late Han Dynasty.
After 2,000 years, purple clothing was not very expensive, but at the end of the Han Dynasty, it would cost copper coins to print and dye a purple cloth. It is precisely for this reason that purple clothing is generally only worn by wealthy families and scholars.
The size of Liu Wei's clothes, Tao Huanniang has long been familiar with it, and the clothes she cut by herself are very suitable.
With this dress, there is also a big red ribbon around the waist, and when it was time to help Liu Wei get dressed, Tao Huanniang wrapped the ribbon around his waist again, gently strangled, and helped him tie it up.
Wearing a new set of clothes and shoes, although Liu Wei has not yet washed and his hair is still very messy and fluffy, he is also a little more dignified than usual.
If others don't know that he is the king of Luoyang, just looking at this outfit, they will think that he is a beautiful young man among the scholars.
Helping Liu Wei get dressed neatly and standing beside him, Tao Huanniang looked him up and down, carefully checking for any flaws in his clothes and shoes.
Just when Tao Huanniang was inspecting Liu Bian's clothes, a maid stepped on small steps, walked in from the outside, folded her hands in front of her, and said to Liu Bian: "Your Highness, there is a soldier outside the door, saying that there is something important to report. ”
As soon as the servant girl spoke, Liu Wei and Tao Huanniang both turned their heads to look at her, and when she finished speaking, Liu Wei waved his hand at her and said to her: "Tell the soldier that this king is coming!" ”
The maidservant replied crisply and exited the inner room.
Since dawn, I knew that Liu was leaving, and Tao Huanniang did not feel the slightest unhappiness because the maid came to report.
When the maidservant retreated, she picked up the basin of water and whispered to Liu Wei with affection in her eyes: "Wait for the concubine to be a ...... for His Royal Highness to freshen up."
"Hmm!" Responding gently, Liu Wei stepped down from the bunk and sat down on a straw mat, while Tao Huanniang followed behind him with a basin of water, and after he sat down, he put the basin aside, picked up the soaked silk silk from the basin, and helped Liu Wei wipe his face.
Tao Huanniang was very meticulous in grooming, and when she finished grooming, Liu Bi was already in a shiny bun and full of brilliance.
Helping Liu Wei tidy up his clothes again, standing in front of him, Tao Huanniang raised her face, looked at Liu Bian, who had grown a lot taller in the past two years, and said with infinite affection: "In a few days, the concubine will make two more clothes for His Royal Highness." ”
"Huanniang, don't work so hard!" Holding Tao Huanniang's fragrant shoulders with both hands, Liu Wei smiled at her and said to her: "The king's clothes only need to be handed over to the servants to do." At present, Luoyang is also in urgent need of copper money, such silk clothes, don't do more for the time being, until Luoyang is really rich in the future, this king will definitely wear the clothes made by Huanniang himself every day. Before that, if Huanniang was free, she just had to go to Tang Ji to play with Zhao Ji. ”
"Hmm!" Tao Huanniang did not say anything to refuse Liu Wei, but responded first, and then said to Liu Wei: "The sergeant has important matters to report, Your Highness should not delay the urgent matter......
"Good!" Letting go of the hands holding Tao Huanniang's shoulders, Liu Wei nodded and said to her: "This king has gone, and I will come to see you in two days." ”
