Liu Ye came to the Zhonghe Hall with all the wind and dust, and Xuanzong was reading in the room. The chamberlain reported, "General Liu has arrived." ”

Xuanzong got up, put on his shoes, and personally went to the door to greet him. Willow Ye bowed down and came in with the guards. Xuanzong stood at the door, holding Liu Ye with both hands, "Liu Ye, you are finally here." ”

Liu Ye insisted on holding the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, but still knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Ye bows to thank the emperor for his grace." ”

Xuanzong's exceptional promotion of himself made many people unwilling, and Liu Ye naturally knew. Xuanzong raised his hand and pushed the hair from his sideburns behind his ears.

"Liu Ye, do you and I still need to say these unseen words?"

Liu Ye got up, took two steps back, and bowed deeply, "Your Majesty, this time is different from the past, Your Majesty is mighty, and the ministers should abide by their duties." ”

Xuanzong was helpless, and Liu Ye's attitude of drawing a line with himself was clear and resolute. "Your Majesty, the ministers have been rude and untidy to come to see the saint."

Liu Ye lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head, Xuanzong was helpless, and Liu Ye couldn't let go at all. "Okay, Gongwu, go prepare the Lan Tang bath."

Qiu Gongwu went to prepare, and soon Qiu Gongwu came back to report: "Your Majesty, the old slave has been arranged. ”

He prepared the bath supplies in the emperor's bath, and in another room he prepared the barrel. It was up to the emperor to choose where to arrange for the willow leaves to bathe.

Xuanzong; "Willow Leaf, follow me."

He and Liu Ye used me, not me. Liu Ye followed him, and Xuanzong came to the orchid pond where he bathed. The pool is full of flowers, and the heat is steaming.

"You all go down, I don't need you to serve." Xuanzong sent all the palace maids and attendants.

Liu Ye stood next to the pond, "Your Majesty." "He didn't make any moves.

Xuanzong bent down and stretched out his hand to test the temperature of the water, "It's just right, Liu Ye, you can take a bath." ”

Liu Ye bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, the minister still don't overstep, this is the Orchid Pond dedicated to His Majesty, and the minister knows the proportion." ”

Xuanzong paced to Liu Ye's side and stretched out his hand to put his hand on his shoulder, "Liu Ye, I am willing to share everything I have with Liu Ye, not to mention a small orchid pond." ”

Liu Ye took a step back: "Your Majesty, your mind is not acceptable, you are a king, and a minister is a minister." There is a difference between monarchs and ministers, and there is a distinction between respect and inferiority. The minister cannot be overstepped. ”

Liu Ye riveted his strength and drew a clear line with Xuanzong. Xuanzong looked down at Liu Ye, okay, I just like you like this, don't you be moved. Stick to the principles, yes. One day, I want you to know who you are worthy of your heart.

It's me, not the charlatan. Jiang Yao, you don't deserve to fight with me for willow leaves. I want you to throw yourself willingly into my arms.

Liu Ye's attitude is obvious, but I have a relationship with you as a monarch and a minister, even if Xuanzong said it very bluntly. Liu Ye still rejected Xuanzong's proposal.

Xuanzong nodded, "Follow me." ”

Xuanzong took the willow leaf to another room, and inside was a wooden barrel, "You go down." Liu Ye bowed down and thanked Xuanzong.

Xuanzong didn't go out, but sat down on the other side of the screen. The willow leaves were loosely untied behind the screen and entered the barrel.

Behind the screen is the sound of splashing water, if the willow leaves change into the gorgeous costumes of the palace, what a country and a city. Xuanzong deliberately stood up and pushed his chair away.

The chair made a sound, the willow leaves remained calm behind the screen, and the sound of splashing did not stop. Xuanzong walked in front of the screen, the willow leaves were still calm, and the frequency of the splash remained unchanged.

Xuanzong couldn't help laughing, this is the willow leaf, he is not shocked when he is in danger, and he is not chaotic. He dangled in front of the screen, but he was very calm.

Xuanzong asked with a smile: "Do you know why I sent them out?" ”

Liu Ye: "Because of the special status of the minister. ”

Xuanzong smiled: "There is no other reason?" For example..."

Liu Ye: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and the minister does not dare to speculate." "Willow Leaf plays Tai Chi.

Xuanzong smiled: "In my eyes, Liu Ye is my other half, just say it." ”

Liu Ye: "Your Majesty, whatever you have is thinking, Your Majesty's reasoning." In Liu Ye's view, His Majesty is a king and a gentleman. ”

Under the world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. Whatever I want is at my fingertips. But for the woman he admires with all his heart, he doesn't want to use royal power, and wants to use his charm to conquer her heart.

Xuanzong went out and told the maid to prepare another bucket of water. Willow Leaf was already dressed and came out from behind the screen. Wearing a hair and a purple tufted new official uniform.

The chamberlain brought the barrel over, and the barrel was carried out. Xuanzong sent people out again. "Liu Ye, wash your hair, after all, I was in a hurry overnight, and my hair was too long to wash through."

Xuanzong rolled up his sleeves and was about to come up to help. Liu Ye hurriedly shook his hand, "You still rest, not when you are in Hedong, you are not suitable for rough work now." Liu Ye joked.

When he was in Hedong, it was common for Li Chen to help Liu Ye wash his hair. At that time, it was natural to do this, but now it can't be done, the dragon robe, it's not like it to get wet. Xuanzong looked at Liu Ye and spoke more casually.

Xuanzong said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if the dragon robe is not a dragon robe, the key is that the person is still the same person." It's all Li Chen, not anyone else. ”

Liu Ye bent over, her long hair floating on the barrel, "Feel free, Your Majesty, it really doesn't matter if you get the dragon robe wet." Then you can do whatever you want. ”

Xuanzong rolled up his sleeves and rolled them up to the squeaky nest, "Liu Ye, let me tell you, the emperor is not easy to do." It is to look at the scenery on the surface, but suffer sin on the inside, and suffer sin alive. ”

Willow Leaf snorted. "No, why are you all sharpened to fight for the emperor's throne?"

Xuanzong saw that Liu Ye was completely let go, just like when the two got along with each other in Hedong. He leaned over to Willow Leaf's ear, "Willow Leaf, I'll tell you a secret, don't tell anyone else." God knows, you know, I know. ”

Liu Ye laughed, this smile doesn't matter, Xuanzong is picking up a water scoop and pouring water on Liu Ye's head, and the water chokes on Liu Ye's mouth. Liu Ye coughed violently. Qiu Gongwu was guarding the door, and he couldn't listen to someone coughing when he heard someone inside.

He asked outside, "Your Majesty, are you alright?" The old slave came in. He asked, pushing the door open and entering.

Xuanzong hurriedly wiped Liu Ye's hair with a towel so that he could straighten up.

Qiu Gongwu came in, and both of them looked at him. I didn't see it, I didn't see anything. He closed the door and exited.

"Your Majesty, I'll come." Liu Ye took the towel and rubbed her hair. Xuanzong went out again and instructed Qiu Gongwu to bring a set of official uniforms.

Qiu Gongwu quickly brought a set and prepared it from the inside out. He quietly withdrew. This General Liu is amazing. In the future, you should be especially courteous to him. Qiu Gongwu said.

Xuanzong sat behind the screen, waiting for the willow leaves to come out. He continued the conversation he had just left off.

"Liu Ye, at the enthronement ceremony that day, I almost didn't make a fool of myself, just because of one person." Xuanzong still feels that his legs and feet are about to go on crutches when he thinks about it now.

Liu Ye tied his hair three or two times, and came out refreshed. Sitting next to Xuanzong, "Who, Your Majesty." ”
