The previous discussion will not be fruitful, and the courtiers have their own opinions. The old emperor did not say a word and would not give a conclusion.

Han Sheng pulled Liu Yu and said, "Let's go, let's go and talk." ”

"It wasn't the emperor who asked you and me to come, so why did you leave?" Liu Yu said in surprise.

Han Sheng smiled faintly on his face: "The emperor only asked us to come to observe, he didn't say that he wanted to ask for your and me's opinions, let's go out, it's not good for them to see them when they disperse in a while." ”

Liu Yu nodded, understanding the old emperor's intentions. In fact, the old emperor just wanted him to come over to listen, knowing how unpopular the king of Chu was now, and urging him to quickly develop his contacts.

Out of the door, the rain was still falling, and the rain had subsided slightly. Han Sheng sent Liu Yu out, and he didn't say anything special on the way, just said: "The emperor's intentions, you have to think carefully." ”

There is nothing to ponder, what the emperor thinks is different from what Liu Yue thinks, the emperor thinks about how his son can successfully inherit the throne, and Liu Yue thinks about how to make his son unable to ascend the throne smoothly. These are two opposing thoughts that cannot be reconciled.

Seeing that it was almost noon, lunch was not settled. There was nothing to do in the palace, so Liu Yu wanted to go home for lunch.

Returning home with the guards, Xu Xuanzhu first helped Liu Yu untie his coat and change into dry clothes, and by the way, he also took out a red sticker and said: "I don't know who sent it, but I didn't sign it." ”

Liu Yu opened it and saw that the handwriting was beautiful, six words: "Bad heart, rotten belly." ”

"Swearing." Liu Yu smiled, and immediately thought of Liu Liniang, "It may be a prank by a child, don't pay attention to it." ”

Last time, Liu Liniang didn't dare to show up to get that thing, and asked a seventeen or eight-year-old boy to come, and Liu Yu used a "treasure map" drawn by herself to put it in a cloth bag to fool around. If Liu Liniang hadn't seen it, maybe she would have passed. Who knew that it was still exposed by her.

There are so many guards around me now. Liu Yu is not afraid that Liu Liniang will take the opportunity to retaliate.

Xu Xuanzhu said again: "Husband, this rain doesn't stop, even if the muddy ground stops, it is not suitable for holding a banquet, why not reschedule tonight's banquet?" ”

"Hmm. Let's reschedule if you reschedule, postpone it for two days, July ...... Not thirty, right? Then it's better to change it to the first day of August. It shouldn't rain for three or four days. ”

Liu Yu had lunch, and Xu Xuanzhu was busy with the rescheduling of the banquet. Let the guards notify each house and each house, showing the grace of a large family woman to arrange internal affairs in an orderly manner. Liu Yu thought for a while and said, "Madam, you might as well go and send one to Prime Minister Yuan's mansion and invite him over for a banquet." ”

"Yuan Xiang? He doesn't like to socialize, will he come? ”

Liu Yu said: "It's one thing to come or not, let's talk about the etiquette first." ”

Xu Xuanzhu was busy arranging again, and when everything was arranged, he suddenly remembered that he was going to inform Sima Xuan'er that she had been invited to come over for the banquet tonight.

"After lunch, I'm going to Jinchangfang to run errands. The one over there was sent over. ”

The secret cells of the Cabaret Workshop have lost their meaning, and now there are no annoying people there. Only a few guards were on guard at all times. Liu Yu went over, and he was also preparing to withdraw this cell.

"Hmm." Xu Xuanzhu handed over the last red envelope to Liu Yu.

…………

At the end of autumn, a wind and rain are always accompanied by countless residual flowers and leaves, and the depression is sad. Fallen leaves return to the roots, the order of all things. And the rain in early autumn also made the originally prosperous and lively Jinchangfang a mess. No one wants to brave the wind and rain to come out and clean, the broken leaves have added to the sorrow, and the willow branches are even more depressed.

Liu Yuce stepped in front of the horse, sighed, and jumped off the horse.

Lu Chu'er approached and asked with a bitter face, "Uncle, how many places are you going to today?" ”

Wherever he went, Liu Yu's ears were filled with Lu Chu'er's complaints, and the lazy habits of this guard captain almost spread to the entire guard team. Liu Yu has a good temper on weekdays and rarely embarrasses her, and Lu Chuer is becoming more and more unbridled.

"Stand guard at the door." Liu Yu gave an order to Lu Chu'er and went into the courtyard by himself.

I thought that the courtyard would be as empty as the street outside. But after entering the courtyard, I saw the figure of a stumbling woman, squatting in front of the flower bed with an oil-paper flower umbrella, and facing the door with a silhouette.

The woman was holding a small shovel in her hand, she seemed to be digging the soil, and she was crying while digging, Liu Yue walked over curiously, and when she got closer, the woman heard footsteps, and when she looked up and saw that it was Liu Yu, she hurriedly collected her tears.

It was Sima Xuan'er.

"Miss Lan Lan, you are here...... Funeral flowers? Every time Liu Yu saw Sima Xuan'er, she was so cold and glamorous, like a proud plum blossom, and like a rose covered with barbs. Perseverance, supporting a family by himself, such a woman is actually crying at the flower garden, which really surprised him.

"It's just a newly rooted Yueyuehong, which has been rooted by wind and rain to help it take root." Sima Xuan'er wiped away the remaining tears on her face, got up, and her face returned to her previous estrangement, "Why is Liu Gongzi so interested?" ”

"Talking in the house, it's windy and rainy outside." Liu Yu pointed to the hall where Sima Xuan'er practiced dancing on weekdays.

The two walked in, Liu Yu handed over the red envelope notifying the postponement of the banquet, Sima Xuan'er was in a good mood, but when she saw the red envelope, she couldn't help crying. His expression and demeanor were unusual.

Plum blossoms cry tears, and there is a trace of grace in the arrogance. Liu Yu couldn't help but ask, "Miss Lan is not going well?" ”

"The little girl will no longer have the opportunity to perform on stage in the future, so I am grateful." Sima Xuan'er put back her tears again and said, "This kind of thing, you only need to send someone to inform you, why do you need Liu Gongzi to come in person?" ”

Liu Yu said with a smile: "I came here to do an errand by the way, and I really miss Miss Kang Lan's dancing, and I want to watch a free dance for free." ”

"That little woman is ugly."

Even though she knew that Dao was looked down upon by others and didn't cost money, Sima Xuan'er still gave face, although she didn't change into dance clothes, she still picked up a wooden sword and jumped on the drum set, dancing the "inspiration" she stole from Liu Liniang's place. Originally, everything was fine, and the light and wonderful dance was as wonderful as the wild goose shuttling and dancing. But because today's Sima Xuan'er is really absent-minded, a dance is not more than halfway through, and his feet fall again, fortunately, Liu Yu stood under the drum set and enjoyed it closely, and stepped forward to pick it up in his arms.

Liu Yu and Sima Xuan'er have known each other for a short time, and they don't have much time to socialize, and the two met in the past because of fate, and they have encountered many accidents, but even if Sima Xuan'er fell down at the palace banquet or was hijacked by the crazy Qu Zhu with a sword, it is not as uneasy as being held in Liu Yu's arms today.

The four eyes were staggered, Sima Xuan'er immediately avoided her gaze, Liu Yue thought that Sima Xuan'er would struggle, but she seemed to forget, and after a while, she was still in a panic, without the slightest hint of resistance or struggle.

"Liu Gongzi, should you put the little girl down?"

When Liu Yu, who was holding her, was a little in a daze, Sima Xuan'er said a word.

"Oh." Liu Yu put her down, and Lu Chu'er at the door glanced in, and immediately retracted his head. Liu Yuzhi said that it was a little eighth woman, and maybe he would go back and tell the "general of her family".

"Miss Lan is not in a good mood today, and it is really not suitable to rehearse such a dangerous dance." Liu Yu reminded, "Miss Sima has something on her mind, you might as well say it, one person bears it, it is better to share it with two people, so that the sadness may be halved." ”

This is the first time that Liu Yu has called her "Miss Sima", and Kang Lan is just her stage name, calling her Kang Lan means that she is only a dancer, and calling "Miss Sima" means that Liu Yu is a friend of her. Sima Xuan'er, who was barely retracting, glanced at Liu Yu, and his expression was a little like he was wandering into the world.

"The little girl doesn't like to socialize with others by nature, and every time she performs, she refuses to even give a glass of wine to the master's house, so few people invite the little girl to perform. And there were so many brothers and sisters that the mother and aunts discussed and prepared to marry the little girl to a woman, and no longer make a living from sex and art. In the future, my younger siblings will also have a good chance of studying. Sima Xuan'er said with a little sadness.

Liu Yu experienced her state of mind, no wonder she would cry at the flower garden under this rainy rain, it turned out to be a feeling for her own life experience.

"Then does Miss Sima want to leave this stage, or does she not want to leave? Or is Miss Sima ready to get married? ”

The two of them went to the wooden frame next to them and sat down, Sima Xuan'er glanced at Liu Yu, retracted her gaze, and then lowered her head and said: "The little girl has been practicing dance since she was a child, and she has no other livelihood to find except for dancing performances. To be separated or not to be separated, it is not a little girl's choice. As soon as the mother told the matchmaker, many big families in the city sent people to ask for marriage, and the little woman had an empty face and a low status, and they only wanted to marry a concubine. If you are good, you will be praised, and if you are tired, you will be abandoned. If it's Liu Gongzi, are you willing to marry? ”

Liu Yu smiled awkwardly, this "empathy" is alternative and unique, but it also expresses Sima Xuan'er's will from the side. Lifelong pursuit of dance and the pursuit of higher is similar to the Taoist concept of seeking immortality. (To be continued......)
