Chapter 374: A woman disguises herself as a man
was hugged by Liu Bian, when he said that he wanted to stay overnight, Guan Qing trembled slightly, pursed his lips, blushed, snuggled his head against Liu Bian's chest, and after a while, he said softly: "Your Highness, let's go and accompany a few princesses......
Guan Qing said such a sentence, which was completely beyond Liu Wei's expectations, he was stunned for a moment, and asked Guan Qing a little blankly: "Qing'er, don't you want to keep this king here?" ”
"Although Qing'er and His Royal Highness are in love, they don't have the name of husband and wife......" Snuggled in Liu Bian's arms, Guan Qing raised his face, looked at Liu Bian's slightly lost face, and said softly: "When the coming day, Qing'er will be His Highness's wife, and then ......."
Speaking of this, Guan Qing's cheeks turned a little redder, and he lowered his head, and he couldn't say the rest of his words.
After listening to Guan Qing's words, Liu Wei lowered his eyes, and after a long while, he nodded slowly and said to her: "Qing'er thinks so, and this king is inconvenient to be strong. It's not early, Qing'er and Juji rest early, and tomorrow morning, this king and Deng Zhan will come together to find the two of you. ”
"Someone!" Without waiting for Guan Qing to reply, Liu Wei shouted outside, and when a servant girl walked into the inner room, he said to the servant girl: "Early tomorrow morning, prepare a set of men's clothes for General Guan and Ju Ci." ”
"No!" The maid folded her hands in front of her, bowed slightly to Liu Wei, and responded softly.
"Rest early!" Letting go of Guan Qing, who was holding him in his arms, Liu Wei raised his feet and walked towards the front hall. He lifted the bead curtain and strode towards the main entrance of the dormitory, and his back quickly disappeared in front of Guan Qing's eyes.
Looking at the bead curtain that was still trembling, Guan Qing slowly closed his eyes, and two lines of tears rolled down his face in an instant.
It's not that she doesn't want Liu Wei to stay overnight, her heart has already been promised to Liu Bian, and the virginity that has been retained for more than ten years will be picked up by Liu Wei sooner or later.
But now that she is in the palace, if Liu Wei is left in the residence and spread the word, her reputation will be secondary, and Liu Wei, the king of Luoyang, will probably fall into the notoriety of a female general who likes women and does not even let go of the female general who lives in the palace.
Walking out of the inner room, until he reached the door of the dormitory, Liu Wei didn't see Liu Nu who came out earlier than him, so he asked a maid in surprise: "What about the second?" ”
"Your Highness!" Hearing Liu Bian's question, a servant girl blessed him and answered softly: "Fang just came out angrily and went to the back garden." ”
In the Luoyang Palace, in addition to the large garden, each dormitory has a specially opened back garden. The back garden is generally not large, at most a small pond is opened, and some flowers are planted, and there is a delicate small pavilion.
In the past, when it was used as a palace, the concubines would go to sit in the courtyard of the palace and chat to pass the boring time.
"Is there anyone with you?" Hearing that Liu Nu went to the back garden, Liu Wei subconsciously asked.
"Biliu and Qinghe are accompanied!" Liu Wei continued to ask questions, the maid was already a little nervous, she lowered her head, bowed her body deeper, and answered.
Knowing that someone was accompanied, Liu Wei didn't ask any more questions, and went straight out of Guan Qing and Liu Nu's residence and went to Cai Yan's bedroom.
The sky is getting darker and darker, and gradually the night envelops the palace, and the palace is not very lively during the day, and at night, it is even quieter, except for the fire shining with the torches in the hands of a few patrol soldiers from time to time in the distance, the whole palace is shrouded in darkness.
Before dark, Liunu returned to the inner room. In the evening, Liu Biao was not lightly angry, and played in the backyard, but the little girl was heartless and completely left what Liu Biao said, washed under the service of the maidservant, and soon fell asleep.
Since Liu Wei left, Guan Qing has been standing by the window, looking at the night scenery outside the window, and a thick sense of loss has surged from his heart.
When night fell, not only did Guan Qing not feel sleepy at all, Liu Wei, who went to Cai Yan's bedroom, was also standing by the window at this time, recalling the scene of meeting Guan Qing in the evening.
Behind him, Cai Yan sat upright at a low table, intently stroking Yaoqin for him.
It was unfortunate that Liu Wei came, Cai Yan happened to come to the red affair in the past two days, and he couldn't sleep at night, so he could only play a song for Liu Bian, and talk about comforting Liu Bian, who led the army on the expedition and had been abstinent for a long time.
The melodious sound of the piano lingered in the room for a long time, and Liu Wei kept standing at the window, looking at the night outside the window, as if he was indifferent to the beautiful melody.
After a song, Cai Yan pressed his hands on the yaoqin, lowered his head, and was silent for a moment before slowly standing up and walking towards Liu Wei who was standing by the window.
"The concubine's body is caressing, but His Highness is absent-minded." When he arrived behind Liu Wei, Cai Yan first blessed him slightly, and then said softly: "I wonder if His Royal Highness can share his heart with his concubine?" ”
Hearing Cai Yan speak, Liu Wei, who was looking out the window, was stunned for a moment, then slowly turned around, smiled at Cai Yan, and said to her: "Without him, I just want to do something about the war......
Liu Yan's answer was very unconfident, Cai Yan knew that he didn't want to tell the truth, and he didn't ask questions, but just asked lightly: "Is His Royal Highness here to rest here as a concubine tonight, or is he going to Princess Tao?" ”
"Let's stop here!" Smiling at Cai Yan, Liu Wei replied softly.
Knowing that he was going to stay and rest, Cai Yan turned his head and said to the two maidservants waiting outside the house, "Go get some water and wait for His Highness to wash." ”
Liu Wei, who was standing next to Cai Yan, only heard the two maids respond crisply, and then a small sound of footsteps came into his ears.
Because Cai Yan came to the red affair, lying on the same bed with her, smelling the feminine fragrance wafting from her body, Liu Wei could only endure his desire like an ascetic, and did not fall asleep in a daze until it was close to midnight.
Early in the morning, before Cai Yan got up, Liu Wei got up, ordered someone to call Deng Zhan, changed into a set of people's deep clothes, and went to Guan Qing and Liu Nu's accommodation with Deng Zhan.
When Liu Wei left, Cai Yan, who was still lying on the bed, stood up with his clothes on. She walked to the window, looked at Liu Wei's figure in a hurry, and sighed softly, and there was a trace of loneliness on her pretty face.
When Liu Wei and Deng Zhan came to Guan Qing and Liu Nu's accommodation, the two women had already changed into men's clothes, and when they arrived, they went out of the house together to play in the market.
Guan Qing looks like a man on weekdays, his hair is in a bun and his clothes are also like men, he doesn't need to dress up, he is a beautiful young man with a good demeanor. If it weren't for that, when Liu Nu first saw her, he wouldn't have been attracted to her and secretly agreed.
Dressing up Liunu as a man made the maid who dressed her a lot of effort. Liu Nu's hairstyle, although it is a bit like the drooping of a Central Plains woman, but her hair is not combed and cut like a Central Plains woman. It is still a little difficult to comb her hair into a bun, and it is even more difficult for a few maids who serve her to pull up her hair.
A group of maidservants almost got up from her and tossed until Liu Wei and Deng Zhan arrived, and finally dressed up Liu Nu.
Seeing Guan Qing and Liu Nu, looking at Liu Nu, who was slightly thin and had not fully grown, Liu Wei almost didn't hold back his laughter.
Due to her short stature, she wore the dark clothes of an adult man too large, so she wore a child's clothes. Moreover, it was difficult to tie her hair in a bun, and several maidservants, with her consent, pulled her hair into a bun like that of a child.
Standing beside Guan Qing, Liu Nu, who was almost a head shorter than Guan Qing, was like Guan Qing's scholar.
Seeing Liu Wei holding back a smile when he looked at her, Liu Nu frowned, and asked Liu Wei with some dissatisfaction: "Why is Your Highness laughing?" Isn't it the outfit of this Juci, going out of the house with His Highness, will it break His Highness's face? ”
"How so!" Liu Bianqiang held back a smile, waved his hand at Liu Nu, and said to her: "When I change into this outfit, I have more and more heroism from a man's family, but it's just ......"
"Just what?" When Liu Biao said that she had a heroic spirit, Liu Nu leaned up on her little neck, with a smug smile on her face, and when Liu Bian said the word "just", Liu Nu frowned slightly, glared at Liu Bian very dissatisfied, pursed her lips and said to him: "If Your Highness has something to say, just say it, what's the matter?" ”
"No him, no him!" Seeing that Liu Nu furrowed his little brows again, Liu Wei didn't want to provoke her, so he hurriedly said to her and Guan Qing: "It's not early, and if you want to come to the market, it's also lively, I'll go out soon, so I can catch up with the morning market." ”
Hearing that he was going to go out of the house to play on the street, the unhappiness on Liu Nu's face suddenly dissipated, and he stepped forward to grab Liu Bian, changed his expression to a happy smile, looked up at Liu Bian and asked him, "What does Your Highness plan to take this Juci and Sister Qing'er to play?" ”
Since Luoyang had not yet been renovated when the army was leading the expedition against Niu Fu, Liu Wei was not very clear about the situation in the market. When Liu Nu asked him what he was going to play, he turned his head to look at Deng Zhan on the side.
"The King Kong Cliff Temple in the east of the city was not destroyed in Dong Zhuo's rebellion!" Seeing Liu Wei looking at him, Deng Zhan clenched his fists and said: "The scenery outside the city is quite rich, but it takes many hours to go outside the city." If Your Highness only wants to play in the city, this King Kong Cliff Temple is really a must-go. ”
King Kong Cliff Temple, is the first temple built by Buddhism in the Central Plains, and is also called White Horse Temple in later generations. In the wars of the past dynasties, the White Horse Temple has been destroyed several times and rebuilt several times. Two thousand years later, the White Horse Temple that people see is no longer the Jingang Cliff Temple at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but was rebuilt by later generations.
Hearing that he was going to go to the Jingangya Temple, Liu Wei frowned slightly, and pondered for a moment before saying to Deng Zhan: "It's okay to go, but I don't want to eat fast in the temple, this king still likes meat......"
"Make!" As soon as Liu Wei said this, Deng Zhan grinned and said to him: "There is a new Lingyun Pavilion in the east of the city, which is three stories high, standing on the top floor, and you can see the mountain from afar, and the scenery is really good. On weekdays, some scribes liked to climb the tower and look out from afar, and it is said that the food was also delicious. If Your Highness is tired of playing, I can go there to rest! ”
"What are you waiting for?" After determining the route to take, Liu Wei waved his hand at Deng Zhan and said to him: "General Deng leads the way!" ”
"No!" Deng Zhan clenched his fists in response, stood sideways to the side, made a gesture of invitation to Liu Wei and the others, and said, "Your Highness, please!" Please! General Guan please! ”
After saying three times in a row, Deng Zhan stood up straight and followed Liu Bian towards the main gate of the palace.
