Chapter 818: A story of enmity

Being reminded by Diao Chan, Liu Wei put aside the doubts in his heart for the time being, and continued to walk towards Tang Ji's bedroom.

As soon as they arrived at the door of the dormitory, the two of them hurriedly greeted them, bowed and stood on both sides, first saluted Liu Wei, and then one of the maids said: "The slave maid will go to report to the princess!" ”

"No!" Waving his hand at the two maids, Liu Wei strode towards the dormitory.

Diao Chan, Wang Liu, and Wang Zhen followed closely and followed into Tang Ji's bedroom.

The maid with the tray in both hands walked behind the line, and after Liu Wei and the others entered the door, they also walked in.

Although the two maids at the door did not report to Tang Ji, some maids in the dormitory saw Liu Wei and the others, and hurriedly ran to the inner room to inform Tang Ji.

Tang Ji was teasing little Liu Sheng in the inner room, and when she learned that Liu Wei was coming, she hurriedly handed the child over to the maid on the side and trotted out to greet her.

Seeing Liu Wei, Tang Ji was about to salute him, when she suddenly saw Diao Chan following her, and was stunned for a moment, but she didn't bless immediately.

Raising his hand towards Tang Ji, Liu Wei said to her: "Just now, this king met Princess Anyang outside, and the princess got a silk brocade and was about to send it to Tang Ji. ”

How smart Tang Ji is, although Liu Bi said that he wanted to exonerate Diao Chan, indicating that they only met by chance, Tang Ji immediately understood that Diao Chan must have deliberately looked for Liu Bi and asked him to come with him.

Since Liu Wei has already come, he has already forgiven Diao Chan and Lu Bu in his heart, and Tang Ji naturally doesn't want to give Diao Chan too much a look.

"Princess Anyang hasn't been here for a long time!" Smiling slightly, Tang Ji said to Diao Chan behind Liu Wei: "Princess, please go into the inner room and sit down." ”

Seeing that Tang Ji didn't show her face, Diao Chan subconsciously glanced at Liu Wei.

At this moment, she is most glad to be here with Liu Wei.

The reason why Tang Ji didn't give her an ugly look was not that she had forgotten the events of the day, but that Liu Wei personally led Diao Chan to come, and she who had received a palace education, naturally would not be rude.

Under the guidance of Tang Ji, Liu Wei and Diao Chan entered the inner room.

The maid who was holding Liu Sheng saw Liu Wei enter the inner room, hurriedly bowed, and went out with the child in her arms.

Glancing at the maid who left with the child in her arms, Liu Wei did not let her leave the child.

The most fundamental purpose of coming here is to let Diao Chan and Tang Ji and others rebuild their relationship.

Lu Bu is brave and brave, charging on the battlefield in the future, it is definitely a great help for Liu Bian, if Tang Ji and the others get closer to Diao Chan, it will make Lu Bu feel like he is regarded by Liu Bian as his own person.

Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo back then, although they both recognized Lu Bu as their righteous son, they didn't trust Lu Bu, they didn't give him too much military power at all, and they were also very defensive about him.

It is precisely because of this that Lu Bu rebelled against the two.

Even later, Liu Wei took in Lu Bu, but because his reputation was not very good, he never dared to reuse Lu Bu, which caused great changes in Luoyang.

The maid left with Liu Sheng in her arms, and Liu Wei and the others sat down in the inner room in order.

As soon as he sat down, Liu Wei said to Tang Ji: "This king has already seen the silk brocade, which is a good material in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

sat down next to Liu Bian, and after Liu Bian said this, Tang Ji smiled slightly and said to him: "Your Highness is happy, and the concubine is happy." ”

From Tang Ji's words, he could still hear a little dissatisfaction with Diao Chan, and Liu Wei glanced at Diao Chan.

Seeing Liu Wei's eyes, Diao Chan knew that he was willing to help, and hurriedly said to Tang Ji: "Princess, the concubine has asked many people, and found out that Jiangnan Silk Brocade has some excellent materials for sale, so she made a special trip to Jiangnan to buy them. ”

As she spoke, she turned her head and beckoned behind her.

The maid who had been standing at the door waiting to be summoned had followed her into the inner chamber, and when she saw her gesture, she hurried up with a tray in her hand.

Tang Ji didn't look at the big red silk in the tray, but just smiled faintly and said to Diao Chan: "The princess has a heart." ”

Hearing the indifference from Tang Ji's tone, Diao Chan knew that this silk brocade could not make her forget the events of the day, so she quickly stood up, took out the red silk from the tray, held it in front of Tang Ji with both hands, knelt on the ground, held the silk high above her head, and said to Tang Ji: "The concubine is here, not only to send the silk brocade to the princess, but also to ask the princess for her guilt......

"What's the princess's crime?" Raising her hand towards Diao Chan, Tang Ji didn't step forward to help her, but just said with a smile: "This sentence is a bit heavy." ”

Although Tang Ji didn't give Diao Chan a look, his speech was a little cold, and it didn't make people feel close.

Liu Wei, who was sitting with Tang Ji, found that Diao Chan's face was a little embarrassed, and glanced at Wang Liu.

Seeing Liu Wei's eyes, Wang Liu strode to Diao Chan's side, took the silk brocade from her hand, and said to Tang Ji: "Princess, I will hand over the silk brocade to the maid at the end." ”

Glancing at Wang Liu, Tang Ji nodded slowly, with a mechanical smile on the corner of her mouth, and said to Diao Chan: "The princess is here, just as if she is her own family, and there is no need to have so many politeness." ”

Although the words were polite, Tang Ji's tone did not have the slightest sense of closeness.

Kneeling opposite Tang Ji, listening to his words, Diao Chan felt a little embarrassed more and more.

On the way here, she only thought that Tang Ji might ignore her, but she didn't expect that Tang Ji would talk to her in front of Liu Wei with this attitude that seemed to be close, but actually told her that they had long been estranged from each other.

Seeing that Diao Chan was embarrassed, Liu Wei played a round on the side, pulled the topic to the Huainan battlefield, and said to Tang Ji: "Tang Ji, this time this king crusaded against Yuan Shu, Feng Xian has made a lot of contributions. ”

Tang Ji bowed to Liu, smiled slightly, and did not speak.

Knowing what she was thinking in her heart, Liu Wei stood up, walked to a candlestick placed in the room, stretched out his hand and twisted the extinguished wick, as if talking to himself: "In this life, people are actually like candles. After igniting, I just burned it, but I never thought that there would be a day when it burned out. ”

Tang Ji and Diao Chan sat facing each other, neither of them understanding the meaning of Liu's words.

Liu Wei continued: "This king wants to tell you a story today, a story about candles. ”

He suddenly mentioned that he wanted to tell a story to everyone in the room, and when Tang Ji looked at him, his face showed a blankness.

"There was a rich man who had too much money to count." Looking at the candles, Liu Wei said slowly: "This person doesn't like anything, he likes to collect candles, and there are too many candles at home to count." However, he had a problem, every time the candle was used, he would throw away the remaining half. ”

Listening to the story told by Liu Wei, Tang Ji and Diao Chan were both at a loss, and they hadn't figured out what he meant by what he said.

"But his wife, after every time he threw away the candles, secretly picked up the half-burned candles and packed them in a wooden box." Turning to look at Tang Ji and Diao Chan, Liu Wei had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to them: "One day, there was a fire in the rich man's house, and it was the room where he stored his candles. All the candles were burned. ”

When Liu Wei talked about the fire, Diao Chan didn't say anything special, but Tang Ji covered his mouth and exclaimed softly.

"The rich man wanted to buy candles, but it happened that the candle shop in the town happened to be back to his hometown in those days!" Smiling slightly at Tang Ji and Diao Chan, Liu Wei said: "A rich man without a candle can only walk in the dark at night, and even if he is out, he has no candle lighting." ”

"You can light a torch." As soon as Liu Wei's story came to this, Wang Zhen, who was standing on the side, suddenly said: "This rich man is quite stupid, I really don't know how he got so much money!" ”

Wang Zhen's words suddenly put Liu Wei full of black lines.

The atmosphere that was finally cultivated was completely lost by her words.

Glaring at Wang Zhen, Liu Wei said: "The torch has to be carried by someone, is it possible to hold the torch all night?" ”

Wang Zhen originally wanted to say that she could light an oil lamp, but Wang Liu, who was standing with her, gently poked her finger and shook her head.

Wang Zhen, who only thought about the meaning of Liu Bian's story, and didn't consider that he had a deep purpose in telling the story, was lightly poked by Wang Liu, and then realized that she almost ruined Liu Bian's matter, so she hurriedly closed her mouth and didn't speak again.

"Just when the rich man was very upset that there was no candle to illuminate, his wife took out the half-ends of the candles that she had put away." Wang Zhen didn't interrupt again, and Liu Wei said to Tang Ji and Diao Chan: "The candle lit the house, and the rich man asked his wife why she had a candle in her hand. His wife told him that some of the things that have been missed, it is not that they will not go back, and that as long as they are good at preserving, they will get what they need from many people or things that they have missed. ”

After listening to Liu Wei's story, Tang Ji was silent for a long time and didn't speak for a while, while Diao Chan's eyes flashed with gratitude.

Both of them had already understood what Liu Wei was trying to express.

What he wants to say is nothing more than that Lu Bu and he once missed it, and now they have come together again, as long as they abandon their previous suspicions, they can still get along with each other very well.

After being silent for a moment, Tang Ji smiled slightly and said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness, this story is quite boring. The concubine didn't say anything, how did she say such a thing that made people feel sour when they heard it. ”

After saying this first, Tang Ji then said to Diao Chan: "When the princess came to the concubine, she also regarded the concubine as a sister. Today, the concubine asked the maid to prepare some wine and food, and left the princess to drink and feast here, how about it? ”

"Tang Ji is in for a treat, this king wants to stay here to eat wine and eat!" Without waiting for Diao Chan to speak, Liu Wei said with a smile: "I just don't know if I can appreciate Tang Ji dancing with the princess?" ”
