Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Solitude of the Chengguang Temple

That night, the lightning and thunder outside the Jiaofang Palace, wind and rain, in short, it was a not peaceful night, Liu Xie was lying on his side, the people behind him had already fallen asleep, he also admired this woman, and he could sleep peacefully in this situation.

He turned around, and the thunder and lightning flashed outside the window, just shining on her face, her sleeping face at this time was unnatural, her hands were clenched tightly at her chest, and her willow brows were furrowed. He reached out and gently wiped it off her face, his fingertips moistened, and she cried. He didn't know what she dreamed about, he just thought that her dream at this time would not make her feel better, he tried to separate her clutched hands with his hands, but he didn't expect her to throw herself directly into his arms, hugging Liu Xie tightly, her soft long hair against his chin, and her even warm breathing at his Adam's apple.

was suddenly embraced by her, Liu Xie was very stunned. He tried to push her away, but because she was pregnant, he didn't dare to exert his strength, she was completely unconscious, and even rubbed his cheek repeatedly. He observed her face again, and found that she did not have the sad expression just now, but instead had a happy smile, what kind of dream could make her cry and laugh, he could only accept his fate to hold her in his arms and caress her head, "Ah Yan, if it weren't for the fact that you were pregnant, otherwise you just ......" In the days when she married into the palace, it was probably only at this time like a well-behaved and loving cat, Liu Xie dropped a kiss in her eyes, and just hugged her and slept all night.

As soon as the morning dawned, Mo Yan saw that she was in Liu Xie's arms, she couldn't believe it, rubbed her eyes vigorously, and found that this was indeed true. She punched Liu Xie directly in the face, just at the moment when the fist was about to fall. Liu Xie just opened his eyes, and he said with a smile: "It's not good for children to be angry like this." Mo Yan's fist naturally failed to hit, but even if she did, she could have some strength to hurt a man as a woman.

She blushed and left the embrace, "Has Your Majesty forgotten the agreement between us?" What does this mean? "You fell asleep last night, crying and laughing, and holding my hand, what other choice do I have for a good night's sleep?" But...... I'm curious, what exactly did you dream about last night? ”

What Mo Yan didn't expect was because she was dreaming, she saw her deceased mother in a dream, which was an emotion that she couldn't express in words, probably because she was pregnant and missed her mother even more. When she woke up from the dream, the deceased was not around, she sighed, her eyes were full of loneliness, "I'm sorry to bother Your Majesty, I will pay attention to it in the future, and I promise not to disturb Your Majesty's rest." Hey, Your Majesty, I don't remember, or I'll tell you when I think about it? When he just wanted to reach out and touch her head, the numbness in his hand made him unable to move for the time being, and it was inevitable to hold her all night.

Seeing that his hand couldn't move, his sword eyebrows were wrinkled together, if it weren't for her, his hand wouldn't be like this, Mo Yan had to move his body and rub his hand to relieve the discomfort, and when he saw that he was almost done, he stopped, "Your Majesty, it's much better now, right?" Liu Xie raised his hand to move, Mo Yan saw that he had recovered, and when he got up, he was pulled into his arms, his hand against his chest, and his eyes were facing each other. I tried my hand. "Your Majesty, are you so fond of being a fool?" Mo Yan didn't know how to say Liu Xie, saying that he was serious and serious, but sometimes he was gentle and considerate, and he would suddenly make fun of people, just like now, Mo Cheng has too much pressure on him, so he will have a split personality? But it doesn't seem to be, because he will only be like this when facing Mo Yan. Liu Xie whispered in her ear: "Ah Yan, let's see who's coming." After saying that, he let go of his hand, Mo Yan saw Yu Niang standing by the bed, scared her into the futon, her face was very hot, and said to Yu Niang through the futon: "Yu Niang, why don't you say a word when you come, are you deliberately making a fool of me with Your Majesty?" "Yu Niang is reluctant to disturb Your Majesty and His Royal Highness, is it Yu Niang's, His Royal Highness should get up and drink medicine." "Don't drink! Don't drink it! ”

"Since Ah Yan said that he didn't drink medicine, Yu Niang, don't prepare your sour dried plums in the future." As soon as Mo Yan heard this, he lifted the futon, "I'll just drink it!" "Isn't that right? How did he know that Yu Niang would prepare dried sour plums for herself?

It wasn't until after Liu Xie left that Yu Niang told her that she had actually been discovered by Liu Xie a long time ago, but he didn't say anything to stop her.

Chengguang Temple

Mo Yan stood outside the Chengguang Hall with the food box, waiting for the report from the inner servant. It wasn't until the chamberlain came back that she stepped into the gate of the Chengguang Palace, which was the palace of Liu Zhengzheng, and it was also the place where he dealt with the government.

Time rewinds to half an hour ago, this August is about to end, Mo Yan under the urging of Yu Niang, screened a small part of the "Book of Songs" (1), she put the part that she had not heard of, or she was interested in, such as "Pu Jia", etc., I still remember that time, the real Fu Shou was also singing "Pu Jia", and Chun Yi also told her that the female son was quite fond of this poem. However, being able to recite these poems can indeed calm her mind and cultivate her sentiments. Yu Niang also asked her to transcribe the "Female Commandment" (2), saying that she should study hard, for these so-called big truths, she didn't know how to describe it while writing, after all, this book came from the Han Dynasty at the moment, she was particularly curious about the "Han Book", but Yu Niang said that the original book had already been destroyed in Chang'an, if you want to know, maybe you can ask Your Majesty, then when she didn't ask, this copy and writing, the brush has grown a lot. It's just that this qin, the piano was brought from Fufu, the strings are very well preserved, the timbre is wonderful, but there is no place to show it in her hands, although she can sing, she can also dance classically, and she used to secretly play the piano at school, but this guqin will not be at all, especially this piano score is simply a book of heaven, where can I understand this. No, she scratched her head at the guqin half an hour ago, and she didn't know what to do at all.

"Your Highness, are you hungry right now? Seeing that His Highness didn't eat much for dinner, Yu Niang cooked a bowl of noodles for His Highness. Yu Niang came to her with a bowl of noodles at this time, the noodles were steaming, and she beat an egg.

Although it is just noodles, it is very attractive to Mo Yan, since she became pregnant, her food has not only increased, but her taste has changed a lot. "Yu Niang is so good, I'm still afraid that I'll be hungry, so I'll start!"

The greatest respect for noodles is to be sure to finish the soup! So Mo Yan didn't even let go of the last soup, wiped his mouth, and was satisfied. "I'm full, hee-hee."

"Your Highness is full, but Your Majesty hasn't been able to eat yet, hey! His Majesty couldn't come to the Jiaofang Hall to dine in the Chengguang Palace, and no one cared about it! Yu Niang sighed, and just wanted to take her empty bowl away, but was stopped by the person in front of her.

"Didn't he eat?" Listening to Yu Niang's tone, it seems that she is saying that she doesn't care about Liu Xie? She didn't mean to, she didn't want to be a so-called talented woman, reading and writing, and even learning to play the piano, chess and needlework.

But when Mo Yan promised Yu Niang to send the noodles to Chengguang Palace, Yu Niang didn't let Chunyi go with her, and she had an epiphany outside Chengguang Palace, did Liu Xie eat or not, what did Mo Yan do with her? Yu Niang, you actually calculated me! It's too much! However, Mo Yan forgot that she was the queen herself, even if Yu Niang said so, she was qualified to refuse, but she never thought of refusing.

When Mo Yan saw the recital on Liu Xie's table, she sighed in her heart, the situation in the world has been like this, but Liu Xie did not give up on himself, maintained the integrity of the emperor, and reviewed the recital every day, she remembered that there are not many records about Liu Xie in the history books, because in the era of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Xie is undoubtedly a loser, who will use too much pen and ink to describe a last emperor. Liu Xie in front of him is a thorny journey, how can he fight his way out of the encirclement? Knowing the ending, should she tell Liu Xie that all this is in vain.

"Thank you Yu Niang for me, I still haven't reviewed the chapter, you go back to the Jiaofang Hall first." When Liu Xie's words came into her ears, she came back to her senses, put the bowl into the food box, and just about to get up, she saw that there were many books in the palace, what books would this ancient emperor read, and would there be any books that could not be circulated? Mo Yan, who was very curious, couldn't help but ask Liu Xie, "Your Majesty, can I see the collection of books here?" I promise it won't bother you! ”

Mo Yan, who was allowed to do so, was overjoyed, but there were many books, where should she start? After a cursory inspection, she found that there were a few books on the case that were a little loose, thinking that Liu Xie might have read them from time to time. The first book this took out was actually "Sima Fa" (4), good guy! This is older than the famous "The Art of War", I didn't expect to see it here, but at her level, she can't read it, so she carefully put it away......

After that, she flipped through other slips, and she turned to the "Book of Han", she was afraid that she was wrong, so she looked at it a few more times, this is indeed written "Book of Han", but Yu Niang didn't say that the original "Book of Han" has long been destroyed, how can there be it again?

According to her memory, the "Book of Han" is mainly based on the Western Han Dynasty, starting from the first year of Gaozu of the Han Dynasty and ending with Wang Mang Dihuang for four years, a total of 230 years of history. I remember that my high school teacher once said that the "Book of Han" mostly uses ancient characters and ancient meanings, and if you are not a professional, it is difficult for ordinary people to see through, and even people who are contemporaries of the original author Bangu must make annotations for its pronunciation to understand. She could only rely on her previous understanding of the "Book of Han" to look at the slips in front of her, I don't know how long she looked at it, and Liu Xie's voice came from behind her-

"This book was engulfed by fire as early as in Chang'an, and there was very little left that could be preserved, and I later rewrote the Book of Han from memory, and there are still 30 'biographies' left unwritten."

Slips are no lighter than paper books, no matter how careful Mo Yan is, she is not a person of this era, so she is not good at placing and organizing heavy slips, and these slips are piled up like a small hill next to her. She was thinking about how much Liu Xie had copied, but because she herself didn't remember how much the "Book of Han" was, she really admired Liu Xie's ability, and the reason why the "Book of Han" could be circulated for thousands of years was also because of him, even if later generations didn't know, but she wrote it down.

Mo Yan wanted to learn the classic movement of Jianghu knights - hugging fists to express her admiration. "Beware! - "When she reacted, she was already protected by Liu Xie in her arms, and the heavy slips were all smashed on Liu Xie's body, at this moment, her heart beat very hard, as if it was about to jump to her throat, this beating was not because of shyness, but more like ...... No, it won't! She was just afraid that Liu Xie would be smashed stupidly, just like that.

"Your Majesty? You okay? ”

"Give you two days to get this place in order, and it will be the same. Otherwise, I will make Yu Niang eat less of what you like to eat. ”

Why didn't you knock him out just now, it's best to be stupid. Mo Yan was very dissatisfied and ashamed, and cursed him silently in his heart.

Liu Xie didn't get much better, in the corner where she wouldn't pay attention, he straightened his emotions before returning to his original position, he was so nervous just now, for fear that something would happen to her, which was completely different from his previous protection of Dong Lin or Song Du.
