Volume 1 Love and Sincerity Chapter 40 Don't be a concubine or a concubine

When Princess Li was restless in the palace, it was almost too late, why didn't she come out.

Princess Dangli couldn't wait any longer, so she decided to call it herself.

Ou Suying opened her eyes and met Liu Ju's gaze, as if she had crashed into the net of love, unable to break free, and unwilling to break free. Liu Ju supported his arms and lay on his side and looked at Ou Suying.

Thinking of last night, Ou Suying shyly pulled up the quilt and covered herself. Liu Ju got into the quilt to look at her. The two were arguing when they heard a violent cough outside.

"It's my sister. I'll take a look," Liu said, got up and put on a coat and went out.

As soon as she saw Liu Ju, Princess Dangli hurriedly said, "You are too willful, why don't you go back to the palace soon, what should you do with the one in Changding Palace?" This morning I am going to visit my father and queen mother, as the crown prince, you are not afraid of punishment, what should Su Ying do? Do you want to kill Sukage? ”

"What my sister said is, I'll go back."

"That's right, I'll order someone to freshen up and change your clothes."

The carriage was already ready outside the door, and the two of them were reluctant.

Sent to the garden path, Ou Suying went to the small pond and folded a willow branch.

There is a saying in the Book of Poetry, "In the past, I went back, and the willows followed." "The ancients often used wicker to replace the meaning of lovesickness.

Liu Zhi naturally understood what she meant, and his eyes looked at her as if they were filled with honey. Ou Suying was embarrassed to be stared at, "Didn't you ancients send wicker when they were separated~"

"What did you do when your hometown was separated?"

Ou Suying kissed Liu Ju's lips, "Kiss goodbye." ”

Liu Ju was stunned, and his face sank a little, "Separate from everyone and kiss?" ”

"How can there be, just like a lover, I'll do this to you." Hearing Ou Suying's explanation, Liu Ju kissed back affectionately.

When several people next to them saw this scene, they all lowered their heads and pretended not to see it.

Princess Dangli was trembling with flesh, "Hurry up, it's not too early, according to you, the carriages and horses are waiting for you." He also advised, "According to your son, you have to be careful not to leak the news, I don't want your Liangdi to hold a grudge against me in my heart." ”

Back in Changding Palace, Gu Shan told him that Shi Liangdi had not left the room yet, and had been waiting inside.

Liu Ju walked into the hall, and Shi Liangdi saw the prince and hurriedly got up to greet him. Dressed and hairdressed, the same as last night, it seems that he has not slept all night.

"Marrying into the Changding Palace, you are the person of the prince, and there are some rules that you need to remember."

"Listen to the Prince"

"Bailiqing, you can talk to Shi Liangdi"

"Yes," Bai Liqing said to Shi Liangdi, "The first rule, nothing in the Changding Palace can be spread outside, especially about the prince, violators, beheaded; The second rule, those who do not comply with the first rule, beheaded; Three rules, those who do not comply with the first rules and the second rules, beheaded. ”

Shi Liangdi's heart was cold when she heard this, "Obey the prince's rules." ”

After coming out of the Empress Dowager's Changle Palace, she went to Jiaofang Palace to meet the emperor and queen.

Liu Ji saw that the eldest sister Princess Dangli was also there, and knew that she was not at ease, so she came to take care of her.

After a warm greeting, Empress Wei Zifu took out a colorful pendant bead knot, smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you see how delicately this knot is woven, it was made by Shi Liangdi herself." ”

"That's good."

"There is also a note, according to the child, why don't you see it with you?"

Liu Ji didn't know about this, and looked at Shi Liangdi sideways.

Shi Liangdi replied softly, "Queen Mother, yesterday the female official put the knot and other dowries of the concubines in one place, and the concubines never took them out and gave them to the prince with their own hands, because the prince didn't know about it. ”

"Oh, then you remember to take it out, hehe" Then the emperor and the queen rewarded Shi Liangdi with a lot of jewelry, and Princess Dangli also took out a precious bracelet and presented it to Shi Liangdi, looking happy.

Every night after that, the crown prince Liu Ju never stayed in the Changding Palace, and took advantage of the dark night to go out of the palace gate and go to the palace of Princess Wei.

Ou Suying lived very happily in the princess's mansion, often went to Xianle Fang to 'work', and talked very much with the owner Bian Linglan, and the two often discussed current affairs together, and even talked about the hundred schools of thought. Although Ou Suying can't memorize all the "Analects", but his thinking is advanced, and the various theories mentioned by Bian Linglan, Ou Suying can always have his own opinions, according to his own meaning, to extract the essence, agree with his favorite views, and refute different views.

"Sister Lily of the Valley, since the opening of Xianle Fang, it has been full every day, and the business is so prosperous, why are you still sighing?"

"If there is no new one, there will be no standing, the acrobatics I prepared in advance have been performed, and if there is no new acrobatic performances in the future, and the old acrobatics are always performed, then the benefactors will have to leave. But I can't find anything new at this time, and I don't have so much time to think about new acrobatics. ”

Ou Suying understood, "Sister Lily of the Valley, I can make a lot of songs, why don't I sing?" ”

"The music you sing is a special rhythm, and it sounds good to the ear, but it doesn't match the preferences of the people of Chang'an, no" Bian Linglan refused, thinking, if you take the stage, my Xianle Fang is the Mourning Music Fang, the prince of Changle Palace must not smash me, I originally thought you were just an ordinary servant, who knew that you still had a connection with the royal family, and ran to Princess Wei's mansion every day, it was really a great god who could only coax.

"Then I'll choreograph the show for you, I have a lot of time, and I know how to choreograph. I can't just stay in Xianle Fang and do nothing! ”

Bian Linglan thought for a while, this is a feasible solution, "Okay, then you can watch the people in the workshop use it, but if you want to recruit new craftsmen, or the show has a first sample, you have to tell me, I have to try it." ”

"It's nature."

When returning to the princess's mansion, Ou Suying, as usual, found a new way back, and walked a new road every day, so that she could see different scenery on the road and encounter different interesting things.

All the way, I was thinking about what kind of new program to arrange for Xianle Fang, so that it could be refreshing and interesting.

The cloth guise of 'Flying Goose Dumplings' comes into view.

Dumplings are dumplings, what do you say about flying geese?

Is there anyone else named Flying Goose? Shih Tzu tofu is sold by a man called Shih Tzu.

Ou Suying looked at the long queue in front of the restaurant and approached curiously.

I saw that in the store, there were two copper kettles with boiling water, and a few white dumplings flew out from behind the screen and fell into the water accurately, attracting all diners to applaud. It turned out that there was a cook behind the screen, listening to the guy's words, "a meat dumpling, a vegetarian dumpling", just behind the screen, skillfully catching up with the dumpling skin and stuffing, two fingers pinched to become a dumpling, and then thrown out, thrown into the pot to cook, and the guy served it out to the diners.

There is a small wooden sign standing in front of one pot, "Meat minced flying goose dumplings, five dollars a bowl", and another pot kettle front wooden sign reads, "Vegetarian stuffed flying goose dumplings, three dollars a bowl".

I asked a random one in line, "How does it taste?" ”

A: "The wait is worth it. ”

A bowl of minced pork and flying goose dumplings was served on the table, Ou Suying looked at the white flour dumplings floating in the soup in the bowl, the shape was cute, similar to a white goose, and saw the dumplings flying out from behind the screen, and had an idea in his heart, just "Swan Lake".

In the evening, the crown prince Liu Ju came later than usual.

"But there's been so much going on today? You don't have to come here every day. Ou Suying said.

Liu Ji thought that when he went out today, he was stopped by Shi Liangdi and decided to marry Ou Suying into the palace earlier.

"Prince, are you going out again?"

"Why do you need to take care of the affairs of this prince? Shi Liangdi, you need to know how to advance and retreat. ”

Shi Liangdi stepped forward, grabbed Liu Ju's sleeve, and looked at him with extremely pitiful eyes.

"The prince, the concubines can't help it. If the concubine marries you, she is your person, and she has the responsibility to extend the heirs for you, and the queen mother told me about it today. But the queen mother didn't know that we didn't ...... If we don't always have a round house, how can I deal with myself? I beg the prince to stay tonight and give me a child. ”

"Queen Mother, keep your mouth shut." Liu Ju pulled out his sleeves and hurriedly walked out of the palace gate.

"Su Ying, I have already arranged it, tomorrow I will accompany Prime Minister Tian Cheng to Xianle Fang to see acrobatics, and the owner of Bian Linglan will introduce you to us, just pretend not to know me." I'll look for an opportunity to make him recognize you as his daughter. ”

"Why is that?"

Imperial Doctor Shi Qing has been to Xianle Fang a few times, although Ou Suying has not met him, but he has heard Bian Linglan mention that this person's name is Tian Qing, and his family has been high-ranking officials for generations, and he is a celebrity in front of the emperor today.

"Imperial Doctor Shi Qing has no daughter, he will definitely like you when he sees you, I will propose it from the side, he is naturally happy to have many good daughters."

Ou Suying was still puzzled, "How do you know he must like it?" How could he follow your proposal? ”

"Shi Qing is not only the imperial doctor, he is also my master, I naturally know his intentions. In the past few days, you and the owner of Bian Linglan have often discussed the hundred schools of thought, and when Prime Minister Tian Cheng went to the toilet, he passed by the courtyard and heard your discussion. Quite appreciative of you. I'm just pushing the boat down the river and bringing you closer. ”

Such a coincidence?

"But—"

"You don't want Shi Qing to be your father?"

"It's not, I have no father or mother since I was a child, if I really have a father, I will naturally be happy, not to mention that he is still your wife. But why did you think of asking me to recognize him as a daddy? Can't I treat him as a foreign master? ”

Liu Ju explained, "I'm arranging a new identity for you, didn't I say I want to marry you as my concubine?" You are the daughter of Shi Qing, the imperial historian, and then recommended to the queen mother by the eternal sister, I can marry you logically. ”

Speaking of this, Ou Suying hesitated.

Am I really fit for the palace?

Marry you, become one of your many women, and wait for you in the temple every day. For you, to marry a woman? No, I can't, at least, I can't do it now. I know you have a woman in the Changding Palace, and I'm so jealous. If I am in the palace, lose myself, and become a resentful woman in the deep palace, will you still love me?

"Nanxing, can I not marry you? We're fine now. If you miss me, come and see me. If I miss you, I'll let Kawaya go to you. We each have our own things to do, and we have each other in mind. ”

"What do you think? If you and I love each other, shouldn't we get married? ”

"I don't think I'll get used to it if I marry you, if I live in the palace."

"Plain Shadow"

"Nanxing, I've already decided, don't force me, okay?"

"How can you not get used to it? It's been a long time, and it's all right. ”

The two disagreed and could not convince each other, and this night, in the same bed and different dreams, the two never fell asleep with their backs to each other.

"Nanxing, have you slept?"

"Nope"

Ou Suying was silent for a while, since she had insomnia, let's chat.

"Or tell me a bedtime story."

Liu replied, "Otherwise, let's do bedtime exercise." ”

"Go back to the Changding Palace." Ou Suying's small fist hit Liu Ju's shoulder.

Liu Ju smiled, "Let me tell you a story, it's about the little black rabbit raised by my sister." ”

"Hmm~"

"One day the little black rabbit went out to play, and at night he wanted to go back to the princess's house, but he got lost. He walked and walked and came across a little white rabbit, and he asked, 'White rabbit, do you know how to get to the princess's mansion?' The White Rabbit said he knew. The black rabbit asked him how to go, and the white rabbit said, 'If you want to know, make me comfortable.' So, the black rabbit made him comfortable, asked for directions, and the black rabbit continued to walk. After a while, the black rabbit got lost again. When he met the Grey Rabbit, he asked, 'Grey Rabbit, do you know how to get to the Princess's Mansion?' Grey Rabbit said yes. The black rabbit asked him how to go, and the gray rabbit said, 'If you want to know, make me comfortable.' So, the black rabbit also made him comfortable. After returning to the princess's mansion, the black rabbit discovers that she is pregnant. Guess what color the bunny in its belly is? ”

"Well, I don't know."

"Do you want to know?"

"Say it quickly."

"If you want to know, make me comfortable."

Ou Suying slapped Liu Ju, who was smiling evilly, and after frolicking, "Then I'll tell you a story too." ”

Liu Ju hugged Ou Suying, arched his head over her shoulders, and found a comfortable position to pretend to sleep.

"There was a kid who buried wine in the ground and marked it, and when he grew up, he went to dig up the wine in the marked place, but he couldn't dig it no matter how much he dug it. Later he dug up the whole yard and dug up the wine in another place. He wondered if he was misremembering. So, he asked for wine. 'Wine, have you changed places?' The wine replied, 'Yes, I was not comfortable there, so I changed places.' The man said, 'Why is it uncomfortable?' Your new place isn't very comfortable. The wine replied: 'I am wine, and of course I know where I am comfortable.' ’”

After listening to Ou Suying's short story, Liu understood Ou Suying's intentions and knew her firmness.
