Chapter 15: The Unexpected Visitor
Early the next morning, before dawn, Liu Yi got up as he had done a few days ago, gathered those guards together, and taught them the techniques of different routines, as well as some climbing and makeup skills.
After an hour of training, the genius began to brighten, and after dawn continued training, until the door of the city was opened, the guards were allowed to rest, eat breakfast, and continue training after breakfast.
But after breakfast, the training Liu Yi handed over to the guards Liu Ben, and he was going to take a few guards out of the city to further investigate the very good valley he had discovered, and at the same time send people to make some preliminary preparations.
This thing can't go through the government, you can only do it secretly, and you must not let people know, Liu Yi is also ready to explore a way out of the river when the river is shallow, and there is no need to detour around the Baqiao back and forth, which is much more convenient and saves dozens of miles.
Liu Yi was about to go out with a few people, but before he arrived at the gate of the house, the housekeeper Li Nian hurriedly ran in to report that someone was visiting, and that the visitor had named Liu Yi.
Liu Yi was a little unhappy when he heard it, and he also instructed the housekeeper that no matter who came to visit, those who could block the car would be in the way, especially the people who came to him, he didn't want to be disturbed when he was busy with things after he had just returned from the expedition and received a reward from the imperial court.
Liu Yi was also about to tell the housekeeper to refuse, saying that he was not in the house, but Li Nian approached Liu Yi and said softly: "Young master, I see that person is not small, you better see it... Maybe it's still a woman? ”
This woman dressed as a man must be not small, she refused to report her identity with a big posture, and she was ready to break in, and named Liu Yi, which made those people in Liu's mansion very angry, but they didn't dare to do anything to that woman, and the housekeeper Li Nian had already guessed that the person was definitely not a mortal, and he told his subordinates not to be rude, so he came in to find Liu Yi in person.
"A woman dressed as a man?" Liu Yi had a headache when he heard it, and he immediately guessed who was coming to look for him.
The woman who dared to go to the gate of the house to name him like this, who else in this world except that person?
At that moment, Liu Yi also ordered the guards who were going to go out with him to disperse, and at the same time sent someone to order the martial arts practice in the backyard to stop, and then he tidied up his clothes and went out.
Outside the gate of Liu's mansion, several nervous-looking family members stopped several young people at the door, and sure enough, it was the person Liu Yi guessed.
Liu Yi hurriedly went over, scolded these family members, and then stepped forward, saluted respectfully, and said softly: "I don't know if the princess has arrived, I miss the welcome, the subordinates don't know the situation, please don't blame the princess..."
Although he said this, Liu Yi was scolding in his heart, this princess Taiping didn't make enough trouble in the palace, and she actually ran to her house to make trouble.
Princess Taiping, dressed in men's clothes, seemed to be a little aggrieved, crossed her mouth, and said dissatisfiedly: "Yi'an, why did your subordinates keep people out of the mansion, and said that they were ordered by you, and no one was seen... I won't even be allowed in!"
Liu Yi had to laugh and say, "It's rare to come back from the expedition for a few days to take a vacation, and I don't want people to disturb me, and people don't know that the princess is visiting, so so... Princess, please!"
"Okay then, but you have to tell the people of your house not to stop me next time I come to you, okay?" When Princess Taiping walked inside, she did not forget to tell Liu Yi.
"If the princess comes to visit again, the next person will definitely not dare to stop her again!" Liu Yi scolded in his heart, it is not enough to come once, he has to come again, and he doesn't ask if people are happy or not, he will enter the mansion later, and first arrest this demon girl and reprimand her.
got Liu Yi's promise, and the somewhat proud Princess Taiping was also accompanied by Liu Yi, and under the incomprehensible gaze of Liu's subordinates, she entered the mansion, and two maids who were also dressed in men's clothes and holding gifts in their hands also followed up in the mansion, and several guards brought by Princess Taiping stayed outside the mansion.
After entering the mansion, Princess Taiping asked Liu Yi to go with her, and whispered: "Yi'an, I just want to come to your house to have fun and meet your family, don't let them have too much etiquette, you see, I'm dressed like this today..."
Although Princess Taiping said this, she was very excited in her heart, she came to visit Liu Yi's mansion today, she was hiding from her father and mother, and at the same time she mustered up a lot of courage to come, in order to get Liu Yi's acceptance, she wanted to visit Liu's family, especially wanted to have a good chat with Liu Yi's mother, if Liu Yi's mother ordered Liu Yi to marry her, presumably Liu Yi would not dare to resist, which was much stronger than her mother's forced marriage.
Liu Yi didn't respond to Princess Taiping's words, and after leading Princess Taiping into the house, he drank away all the subordinates who were sneaking there to watch the excitement, and led the demon girl to a side room before entering the front hall of the main house.
Princess Taiping, who was secretly proud, but a little squirming, watched with some surprise as Liu Yi took her to the side room, blocked her two maids from the door, and closed the door of the side room, and asked in a trembling voice: "Yi An, are you... Do what? ”
"Princess, how can you come here privately?" Liu Yi stood in front of Princess Taiping, with a majestic look on his face, and his words were a little annoyed, "What if something goes wrong along the way, or something... How is that good? ”
Liu Yi originally wanted to say a few words fiercely, accusing Princess Taiping of running to the house in private regardless of etiquette and his feelings, no matter what, a dignified princess of the Tang Dynasty will be blamed for such behavior, but such cruel words can't be said, people are princesses in the end, and this is still in their own house, this demon girl is making a fuss, then his own house will be lively, in case there are many troubled servants to spread out, then the whole Chang'an will have ups and downs.
Princess Taiping, who had a grievance on her face just now, was in a good mood when she heard Liu Yi's accusation with a little concern, but she deliberately snorted, pouted and said, "If you don't come to the palace to pick me up, I have to come by myself, and you will go to pick up Wan'er..."
However, when this last sentence was spoken, seeing that Liu Yi's face was a little cold, Princess Taiping quickly stopped her mouth again.
"What did the princess come to me for today?" Liu Yi said a little dryly, his face was still ugly.
Seeing that Liu Yi was a little annoyed, Princess Taiping was a little afraid, and said cautiously: "Yi'an, I'm annoyed in the palace, I want to go out to play, I want you to accompany me, so... I'm coming for you! Can you play with me? ”
"Then I'll accompany you outside to play," Liu Yi's expression had slowed down, "While my family doesn't know yet, let's leave quickly!"
Liu Yi said and prepared to open the door and go out.
Princess Taiping was in a hurry, and suddenly stopped in front of Liu Yi, "Yi'an, I... I can't get your house today, and I want to visit your mother... Mrs. Liu's!" This is the main purpose of her coming today, meeting Liu Yi's family, hearing that Liu Yi was going to take her out soon, and not letting her family find out, she was a little anxious, so she was pulled out by Liu Yi like this, it was not a waste of her previous efforts, but she was still careful to speak.
"Let's talk about it when I have a chance in the future, my father is dead, the filial piety period has not passed, and it is inconvenient for my mother to meet a person of such dignity as the princess!" Liu Yi said and prepared to step forward to pull Princess Taiping.
"But..."Princess Taiping dodged for a while, but was still held by Liu Yi's hand, and the warm feeling of Liu Yi's big hands made her feel very comfortable, but she still didn't want to follow Liu Yi out of the house like this.
At this moment, there was a burst of scattered footsteps outside, some soft questions, and then a middle-aged woman's voice sounded: "San Lang, are you inside..."
Liu Yi listened, sighed in his heart, let go of the hand holding Princess Taiping, went over and opened the door, and saw his mother with his eldest brother Liu Mai, second brother Liu Yuan, and two sisters-in-law, accompanied by the housekeeper Liu Nian, standing very respectfully outside the door, Princess Taiping's two maids were a little embarrassed, standing there at a loss.
Princess Taiping's face was slightly red, and she walked out of the house after Liu Yi.
"I've seen Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Liu Yi's mother, Zhang, took Liu Mai, Liu Yuan and others to salute Princess Taiping.
Now Liu Yi became embarrassed, maybe he subconsciously no longer regarded Princess Taiping as a noble princess, and now he saw his family, especially his mother, giving a big salute to Princess Taiping, psychologically unbearable, but this is also a normal etiquette, who called this demon girl noble.
Liu Yi was also about to retreat behind his mother and two elder brothers to make a big salute, but to his surprise, Princess Taiping stepped forward from behind him at a very fast speed, picked up her own mother who bowed and saluted, and said with some nervousness: "Mrs. Liu... Aunt Liu, hurry up and excuse me, today I just came to visit the house as a friend of Yi'an, and I ask my aunt not to make such a big gift..."Princess Taiping said, and glanced at Liu Yi who was standing on the side with an expressionless face a little proudly.
Zhang seemed to be very surprised by Princess Taiping's behavior, looked at Liu Yi who was standing on the side with an unnatural face, and then looked at Princess Taiping, whose face was full of shyness, and Princess Taiping, who was flushed, and said with some embarrassment: "The princess is noble, how dare the concubine be the princess and aunt... And invite the princess to speak in the antechamber!"
"Auntie, I'm really here to see Yi'an today, and I'm here to see my aunt," Princess Taiping said and subconsciously looked at the gifts held by the two maids, "Please don't see me like this, and don't call me princess anymore, just call me Yue'er!"
Princess Taiping said, regardless of Zhang's break-free, she still held Zhang's arm tightly, with a respectful look on her face.
This scene is quite embarrassing, Liu Yi is like this, Liu Yi's two brothers and sisters-in-law are the same, and even Liu Nian, who is standing far away, is like this, fortunately, there are no other subordinates on the side, and these people in the house who can be seen in the courtyard just now don't know where to go.
Seeing Princess Taiping like this, after glancing at Liu Yi who was standing on the side, Zhang didn't insist anymore, Princess Ren Taiping held her hands and went to the front hall...
