Chapter 2 Changes in Princess Taiping

Liu Yi had actually heard footsteps coming, and before leaving the hall, he also guessed that Princess Taiping would definitely be waiting for him outside the palace, and there was no surprise when he heard such a call, so he turned sideways and saluted Princess Taiping who walked quickly from a corridor: "The last general has seen the princess!"

Princess Taiping received the salute, put on a straight face, and shouted to the eunuch: "Go down!"

"Yes, princess!" The eunuch who had passed on Liu Yi to come out immediately saluted and left.

"Ping'er, Xiaoyun, you also retreat!" Princess Taiping winked at her two personal maids, Nunu.

"Yes, princess!" After the two maids of Princess Taiping saluted, they all hid on the other side of the hall.

Liu Yi clearly saw that before the two maids of Princess Taiping left, they looked at him with a slight red face.

With a smile on her face and a vein in her eyes, Princess Taiping walked up to Liu Yi's side, "Yi'an, it's been so many days since you've been back, and I'm free today, so I can talk to you!" Just now I suggested to the queen mother that you are not suitable to participate in this kind of festive banquet because you have filial piety, and only after getting the queen's consent did I call you out..."

Liu Yi subconsciously looked at the side, and saw that there was no one else, so he turned his head and stared at Princess Taiping, with a slight smile, "The princess's heart, the last general has received it, and the last general is grateful!"

Hearing Liu Yi say this, Princess Taiping had a surprise on her face, "Yi'an, it's good that you know my mind..."

"The princess's heart is touching, but... The princess danced in front of hundreds of officials, which was really a folded identity, and the last general was very uneasy... I hope the princess won't be like this in the future, otherwise... There will definitely be people who have a complaint about the last general, and maybe His Majesty the Emperor and the Queen of Heaven will also... will also blame the princess, "In the face of this woman who is very stubborn in her bones, Liu Yi is very helpless, this woman can't be provoked, and she can't hide from it!"

Princess Taiping didn't expect Liu Yi to say such a thing, so she was stunned for a moment before saying: "I like to do this, I like to do things for you, who dares to blame you!" My father and mother won't blame me..."Speaking of the back, Princess Taiping's tone lowered, she danced in public, and she didn't let her father and queen mother know in advance, and she was indeed blamed by the queen mother, although her tone was not very heavy, but it also made her feel wronged.

Liu Yi also heard some flavor from Princess Taiping's behavior beside Li Zhi and Wu Zetian after the dance just now, as well as the tone of voice just now, knowing that Princess Taiping must have been scolded, and he also had some worries in his heart.

"The princess was scolded by the queen of heaven, and the last general was very unhappy!" Liu Yi said very sincerely.

Hearing Liu Yi say this, Princess Taiping was overjoyed, jumped in front of Liu Yi three times and twice, grabbed Liu Yi's arm, and said a little coquettishly: "Yi'an, are you worried about me?" ”

"Of course the last general doesn't want the princess to be scolded," Liu Yi was a little embarrassed, this is in the palace, or outside the empty hall, Princess Taiping dares to pull and pull like this, in case someone sees it, how is it good, and quickly moved his body, wanting to get rid of Princess Taiping's hand holding her arm.

Princess Taiping also seemed to realize that something was wrong, her face was slightly red, she let go of the hand that was holding Liu Yi's arm, and said softly to Liu Yi: "Yi'an, let's go to the front and talk..."

"Princess, please!" Liu Yi had to give a salute and let Princess Taiping go first, and he was one step behind to follow.

Seeing Liu Yi like this, Princess Taiping turned around and wanted to say something, but swallowed the words back and walked ahead first.

Through the flowers and trees planted in the palace, Liu Yi saw that there was a water and light map in front of him, and knew that he had come to the edge of Taiye, and he also felt that there were people behind him, and when he looked back, he saw the two maids of Princess Taiping following from a distance.

Princess Taiping did not stop, and walked towards a path among the flowers and trees on the edge of the Taiye Pool, and Liu Yi also followed.

A small pavilion appeared in front of it, and it was built near the water by docking at the Taiye Pond, and the shore was densely populated with flowers and trees, which almost completely cut off the pavilion from the surrounding area, and there was only one path to communicate.

Someone guards the entrance to this path, then everyone else can't enter this pavilion, and this place by the Taiye Pool is really good.

Princess Taiping took the lead in walking to the pavilion and turned around to wait for Liu Yi.

Liu Yi somewhat guessed the purpose of Princess Taiping taking herself to this somewhat hidden place, and immediately put aside her dignity and courtesy, and walked directly to Princess Taiping's side, looking at this Huaichun girl with affection on her face, "I don't know if the princess will come here with the end, what special instructions do you have!"

After the dance, Princess Taiping just changed into a pink palace dress, because it was only early August, the weather was still a little hot, and the palace dress was still light and thin, which reflected the graceful posture of Princess Taiping.

I haven't seen it for more than half a year, Princess Taiping's body has changed a lot, and now it looks quite tall, with Liu Yi's estimation that it is nearly one meter seven tall, much taller than the previous year, it seems that it should be puberty now, it is the time to grow the body violently, the chest that was not straight enough is not upright, this year there are also gratifying changes, compared with the height seen in the previous year, the height has increased a little, but the height is still a little lacking, if you can increase it a little, lined with the slender waist, the figure is really good enough.

Princess Taiping, who just wanted to speak, saw Liu Yi's eyes staring straight at her, her face was flushed, she bit her lip, glared at Liu Yi, twisted a little, and said angrily: "You... When you returned to Beijing, didn't I say that I wanted you to tell me about the expedition, but now I just want to hear about the more than half a year after your expedition, so you can talk to me here!"

Princess Taiping lowered her head slightly as she spoke, enjoying Liu Yi's unbridled gaze, being looked at like this by her beloved, which made Princess Taiping ecstatic, her heart was like a deer, and there was sweetness in her shyness, Liu Yi had never looked at her with this kind of eyes before.

If such a scene is seen, I am afraid it will be a big surprise, if there are glasses now. No one would believe that Princess Taiping, who was crazy in the palace and never knew what shyness was, would show such a shy look like a little daughter.

"Why is the princess interested in the bloody things that kill and kill on the battlefield?" Seeing Princess Taiping like this, Liu Yi felt an inexplicable pride in his heart, this woman who had a very loud reputation in history and almost became Wu Zetian's second, and now she was so shyly obedient in front of herself, which made him feel a sense of accomplishment after conquering an arrogant woman.

It's just that the current Princess Taiping is just a little woman who focuses on the feelings of men and women, and she is still far from the status of the powerful woman recorded in history.

Since he said that he was on the grassland under the Yin Mountain in Anbei, after listening to Pei Xingjian say that and analyzing the two women, Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er, Liu Yi's thoughts about Princess Taiping have also undergone subtle changes, coupled with the greetings that came over at the triumphal ceremony after returning from the expedition, as well as the unusual performance at the banquet today, Liu Yi was a little moved, this demon girl is really stubborn, and Liu Yi can't figure out what attitude she has towards the noble woman in front of her.

There is one thing that Liu Yi has always been unwilling to admit, that is, from beginning to end, he has never really hated Princess Taiping, and his instinctive rejection and disgust towards her is only because of the notoriety of Princess Taiping in history, and because she is Wu Zetian's daughter, but she herself is really quite likable, at least the Princess Taiping shown in front of Liu Yi is indeed a very good woman.

"As long as it's about you, I like to hear it!" Princess Taiping glanced at Liu Yi, "In the more than half a year that you have been on the expedition, I have been thinking about you every day, you are really a person, everything you do is worrying, me and Wan'er..."

Speaking of this, Princess Taiping came back to her senses and stopped.

It turned out that after Liu Yi went on the expedition, Princess Taiping was worried about it, and Liu Yi was rarely mentioned in the military newspaper that came back from the front, and the somewhat depressed Princess Taiping had to go to Shangguan Wan'er to talk about things, and what she said was about Liu Yi, although these two women each had their own hearts, and they were a little jealous and wary of each other, but because they were both burdened with Liu Yi, Liu Yi was fighting in front, so that they all wanted to find some comfort from each other's words, and many things about Liu Yi in the past would be taken out to say. After talking about Liu Yi many times, the hearts of these two women were also brought closer, especially after the military report from the front came back, saying that Liu Yi led more than 1,000 people and horses, and Zhang Qianqiao's more than 1,000 people completely annihilated more than 2,000 Turkic grain robbers, both of them were frightened, stayed together and counted Liu Yi for a long time, blaming Liu Yi for not knowing the height of the sky, and actually playing with his life like this, a bit of the same hatred of the enemy.

As for the military report that came later, Liu Yi led more than 2,000 people and horses to attack the camp at night, rushed into the camp of more than 100,000 Turks, and made a mess of the Turkic camp, and finally cooperated with the friendly army to completely annihilate the Turks, Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er, who heard the news of this one step late, almost unanimously went to find each other, hid together and almost cried and denounced Liu Yi for most of the day, blaming this person who does not take his life and death seriously, dared to rush and kill like this on the battlefield, regardless of their feelings, and asked Liu Yi to scold him fiercely when he came back.

During that time, Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er didn't sleep well, and they were worried about Liu Yi all the time, and because of their concern for Liu Yi, the two women's hearts were originally very strongly resistant and wary of each other, but they didn't show it on the surface, and they actually had the smell of slowly disintegrating.

But this is just Liu Yi's thoughts when he was abroad, after Liu Yi returned to Beijing, although they did not contact Liu Yi alone, but Liu Yi returned safely, they no longer felt the burden, no longer need to find comfort from each other's words, there was no communication between the two, and they returned to the previous appearance, Princess Taiping did not want Shangguan Wan'er to contact Liu Yi, and Shangguan Wan'er did not want Liu Yi and Princess Taiping to have any intimate contacts.

Because Princess Taiping promised Liu Yi last year that she would not do anything to Shangguan Wan'er, and she was afraid that Liu Yi would be unhappy, and she didn't dare to use any means against Shangguan Wan'er, she just used the mentality of an ordinary girl to prevent Shangguan Wan'er.
