Chapter 52: The Immortal Skirt and the Waltz
"Ugh." Not long after Mo Yan coaxed Liu Cheng to sleep, she sat alone in front of the dresser sighing and listless. Chunyi behind her took off the golden hairpin on her bun for her, combing the black and straight green silk for her, Chunyi looked at her like this, and couldn't help asking, "Your Highness, what's wrong?" Are you thinking about Your Majesty? Maybe Your Majesty is busy today and can't take care of His Highness for a while. ”
"Of course I know he's going to be busy, he's Your Majesty, and he's going to see many, many pieces. If it's okay in normal times, I understand him, but do you know what day it is today? Today is the whole year that I have been married into the palace! August 1 last year was the day I married him, and he didn't even remember? Okay, I know I can't be too demanding, and it's a sweet and romantic 'wedding anniversary' here, but he should always take some time to spend with me. Forget it, wash and sleep! Change! Mo Yan looked angry, disappointed and aggrieved, she got up and spread her arms, waiting for Chunyi to change her clothes.
"Are you okay with spring? My hands are sore. If you're sleepy, I'll do it myself. Mo Yan waited for a long time, but Chunyi didn't change her clothes for a long time, she sighed, and was hugged by someone the moment she turned around. Her head rested against his chin, resting on his familiar, warm chest, and reaching out to hug him. "You still know how to come?" Mo Yan's voice is already better than ordinary people, even if it is a reproachful tone, when she says it, it is a little more crisp and sweet.
"I'm late, and I hope Madame won't blame." Liu Xie hugged her into his arms and lowered his head to kiss her forehead. "Ah Yan, there's something I want to tell you. Still, I think you can guess it too. ”
"What's the matter?" Mo Yan raised his head, his willow eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he understood Liu Xie's heart as quickly as possible, and his willow eyebrows no longer wrinkled, but rose with the corners of his mouth, and answered him very confidently: "Husband has been in Chengguang Hall for a lot of time today, I guess Husband is waiting for news." And, again, good news. She stood on tiptoe and whispered in Liu Xie's ear: "General Guan and Uncle Huang have reunited, right?" ”
"Madame is not only smart, but she is simply clever." Liu Xie pinched Mo Yan's cheeks, and his eyes were full of gentleness and doting.
"Of course, whose wife am I, Bohe's wife, I am naturally smart, but I am still a little worse than my husband." Mo Yan did not object to Liu Xie's pinching of his face, but grabbed Liu Xie's arm affectionately and rubbed it. "General Guan did not disappoint us, and I believe that he will definitely help us in the future."
"Yes, I believe it too." Liu Xie gathered the scattered green silk in her ears, his Ah Yan seemed to know a lot of things he didn't know, the doubts in his eyes were fleeting, and they were still endlessly gentle, after this revelation of his true feelings, he found that his feelings for her became more and more intense, so even if Mo Yan wanted to hide something, he wouldn't ask half a sentence. "Ah Yan, you put on this dress and try it to see if it fits."
"Huh?" Looking at the clothes he handed over, Mo Yan was stunned, hesitantly took the clothes in his hand, and didn't understand what he meant.
"Madam, do you want your husband to change your clothes for you? I am willing to serve Madame. ”
"I want you to be big! Get out of here, I'll come out as soon as I'm done, I'll wait outside, don't come in! ”
Liu Xie knew that she was shy, so she deliberately did not go to the door, and Mo Yan, who was in a hurry, had to forcibly push Liu Xie out, and finally arrived at the door, when Mo Yan just wanted to close the door, Liu Xie took advantage of this gap to go back to the house, for such a scoundrel behavior, Mo Yan crossed his waist and supported his forehead, and said helplessly: "Uncle and you are Your Majesty, don't do such a boring thing, okay?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Yan was pulled into Liu Xie's arms with force, and before he could resist, he was kissed deeply by Liu Xie. After the short lingering ended, Liu Xie pressed against her forehead, the corners of his mouth rose, he did not hide his smile, let alone his tenderness and affection for her. "Ah Yan, as long as you are here, everything I do will not be boring. Don't wait too long for your husband. ”
Mo Yan turned her head secretly, her face was like fire, and after Liu Xie left, she covered her face and went to change the clothes Liu Xie brought, and kept muttering in her mouth, just talk a lot, you talk a lot!
When Liu Xie turned around, when he really saw Mo Yan put on the "Liuxian Dress" and walked out of the house, he couldn't find any words to describe her, but he was stunned and said three words: "It fits perfectly." ”
Mo Yan walked slowly in front of him, the night breeze blew the green silk of her face, the black and straight green silk obediently behind her, her complexion has always been fair, at this time, the appearance of not applying powder and not combing her hair bun added to her delicate state that she could not see on weekdays, and her clear and aura eyes were flashing curiously, no different from weekdays, bright and straightforward, never concealed. The concubine-colored (1) blouse was bright blue with a bright blue neckline, sleeves, hem, and belt, with vivid butterflies embroidered on the wide sleeves, and a light purple underskirt, which was covered with pleats that became more evident as she walked. She stopped in front of Liu Xie, spread her arms and circled gracefully, and the butterflies on her sleeves seemed to have life, fluttering around her.
Mo Yan was suddenly pulled into his arms, afraid that there would be palace people present, Mo Yan struggled slightly, and when she saw that there was indeed no one around, she hugged Liu Xie with confidence, looked up and asked him, "Do I look good in it?" ”
"Well, I think Madame is even more beautiful than Empress Zhao. The clothes on your body are the 'Liuxian Dress' that I specially made for you based on the 'Yunying Purple Dress' she wears (2). ”
"Empress Zhao? Could it be Emperor Cheng'...... Zhao ......" Mo Yan's eyes widened in surprise, and before he finished saying Zhao Feiyan's name, Liu Xie nodded. "You did it for me? During this time, you often go back to the Jiaofang Hall very late, is this just for me? You are a big man, and you are still an emperor, why do you do this for me, and you are doing it so well......" Mo Yan's nose was sour, and she tried not to shed any tears in front of him.
"Silly Ayan, if you give birth to a child for me, I can't share it for you. What is it that I made a fairy dress for you? Besides, isn't today what you've been looking forward to? If I don't give you a gift, I'm afraid you'll be very disappointed. Liu Xie gently pinched her cheek.
"Thank you, husband! I'll treasure it! Mo Yan stood on tiptoe and dropped a kiss on his face. I really can't hide from my husband's eyes. Husband, there is a custom in my hometown that husband and wife celebrate their 'wedding anniversary'. Not...... The wedding anniversary is, I married you on August 1 last year, and August 1 of each year is our 'wedding anniversary', the form is not important, the important thing is that you spend this day with me, but also to spend the days to come. So you have to promise me that you will be with me every year on this day, like tonight. ”
"Okay, Mrs. Duyi." Liu Xie nodded and agreed to Mo Yan.
"The moonlight is so good tonight, and it's just the two of us. Husband, I'll teach you how to dance the 'waltz'! Then this 'Liuxian Dress' also played a role. ”
"Hua ...... You...... Now? Liu Xie frowned, not knowing what she was talking about, so he repeated it again with a questioning tone.
Mo Yan took a step to the right, stood on Liu Xie's left hand side, turned sideways slightly, and looked at Liu Xie. "Give me two hands." Liu Xie, who was full of doubts, stretched out his hands, and Mo Yan's right hand tightly held his right hand and raised it high. At the same time, he took his left hand behind her, and her left hand rested gently on his left shoulder.
"Now listen to my commands, and you will do whatever I say...... Left foot forward, right...... Quickly move your right foot to your left foot and move it sideways...... It hurts! It's okay, it's okay, keep ...... Lean to the left...... Bring your feet together...... Kindness! Yes, that's it! ......" Mo Yan taught Liu Xie carefully, and Liu Xie's jerkiness was in stark contrast to Mo Yan's lightness. However, Liu Xie's comprehension is much beyond Mo Yan's thoughts, even if he is an ancient, he can learn this Western ballroom dance, if he is replaced by a modern person who has no talent, I am afraid it will not be as good as him. It didn't take too long for Liu Xie to roughly master the waltz dance skills, and dance with him a few more times, Mo Yan was afraid that he wouldn't be able to catch up with him.
"Madame, I wonder if anyone danced with you before me?" Liu Xie hugged Mo Yan, Mo Yan stood on one foot, his body slightly back, Liu Xie leaned close to her face, waiting for her answer.
"Of course, there is, but my husband is my first 'student', and he may be better than me in the future. Well, I can assure my husband that my future dance partner will only be you. In the same way, your dance partner can only be me. Mo Yan pounced on Liu Xie and offered a shallow kiss. Her soft green silk touched Liu Xie's cheeks, the two of them had similar snorts, Mo Yan had a faint fragrance on his body, and his body was even closer to Liu Xie.
These have become teasing in Liu Xie's eyes, and she is wearing a fairy dress tonight, which is even more bright and moving. With such a lady, how could Liu Xie be indifferent? Holding Mo Yan up, his sword eyebrows rose, the corners of his mouth hooked, the mist under his eyes became thicker and thicker at this time, and the seductive conquest was self-evident. "Ah Yan, I'm tired of jumping, let's rest."
"Yes." Although "that incident" has been several times, Mo Yan is still unspeakably shy. In Liu Xie's arms, Mo Yan looked down at the "Liuxian Dress" on her body, and then looked at Liu Xie, her heart was as sweet as overturning a honeypot, she felt that she was the happiest woman in the world. Liu Xie gave her the "Liuxian Skirt" made by herself, so what should she give?
"Madame, didn't you give yourself to me?"
"Can you read minds? How do you know what's in my heart? What do you mean to give me to you, Bohe! ”
"It's not that my husband can read minds, it's that I know what you're thinking by looking at your face. Madam, at this time, don't think about anything else, concentrate a little. ”
Liu ...... Not! ”
In the face of a loved one, at some point, resistance is ineffective.
Concentrate:
(1) Concubine color: that is, pink.
(2) Liuxian skirt: Zhao Feiyan, the queen of the Western Han Dynasty, loves to wear skirts, one day she wore a Yunying purple skirt to the edge of the Taiye Pool, dancing in the sheng song and drum music, suddenly the wind was blowing, she floated up like a kite, the palace maid hurriedly chased to grab the corner of her skirt, Zhao Feiyan's skirt was wrinkled, Zhao Feiyan wore a wrinkled skirt more beautiful, since then, the palace maids are popular to wear folded pleated skirts, which is called Liuxian skirt. The allusion to the "Liuxian Skirt" is often included in the poems. For example, Zhang Yan's "Sparse Shadow": "Looking back on the Han dance of the year, I am afraid that I will fly away and leave the folds of the fairy skirt." Another example is Zhu Yizun's "Two Hundred Rhymes of the Wind": "The skirt of the immortal is easy to wrinkle, and the fallen horse has sideburns." ”
