Verse 126
Chapter 104
Wanfu slept past noon, and when she woke up in a daze, the sun had sunk under the palace walls.
She lifted the curtain with her sour body and changed her voice outward. At first no one answered, followed by the sound of unhurried footsteps.
"Wake up." Li Xuanyin sat on the edge of the bed and held the woman with a soft body into his arms, her face flushed and blushing, and she was bullied so badly. He tugged at the lip line, and I didn't know what to think, and the curvature of his mouth was pressed down again.
Wanfu was very surprised by the appearance of the man, and she was surprised: "It's this hour, why hasn't the emperor left yet?" ”
Li Xuanyin's eyes were slightly cold, "I'm okay today, I'll take you out for a walk." ”
……
Wanfu thought that Li Xuanyin's mouth was going to the imperial garden in the palace, but she didn't expect that when she took Luanyu, after more than half an hour, she actually arrived at the palace gate.
It was nearly night, and it was dark.
The long street in the capital city at night is particularly prosperous, and the fang market is full of people, shouting and shouting, and it is endless.
Before Wanfu was fourteen years old, she often ran away from the house with her little uncle, and after many years, she never thought that she would be a concubine and have such a day.
At this time, she realized that today's emperor seemed a little strange.
The carriage drove through the streets, tossing too hard before noon, Wanfu hadn't eased up yet, she was so soft that she leaned into the man's arms, "Is the emperor trying to make up for the snub of his concubines these days?" ”
When Li Xuanyin smacked these two words to "make up for the ......", she really didn't listen to half of what he said.
Unable to hear the man's answer, Wanfu didn't ask any more questions, you closed your eyes, found a comfortable position and fell asleep.
Li Xuanyin lowered his eyes and brushed away the green silk on the cheeks of the person in his arms, his eyes were slightly condensed, and his finger bones silently rubbed the sleeping woman's face, and he suddenly regretted a little, why did he have to toss this experience. She never mentioned leaving, so what could he do if he pretended not to understand her intentions? If she really chooses that path, even ignoring Fu'er, is he really willing to let her go?
The carriage stopped outside a restaurant, and Wanfu was awake by this time, and she opened her eyes and looked out curiously, completely unaware of the man's thoughts.
The two got out of the carriage, and the ordinary woman Wanfu combed her hair in a bun today, dressed in a bamboo-blue skirt, and was not eye-catching. She hadn't been to Fang Market for a long time, and she was looking at novelties everywhere.
The vendors shouted hexagonal palace lanterns, boasting that they were beaten by the craftsmen in the palace and used by the mother. Wanfu picked one casually, and at a glance she could see that this lamp was not a thing in the palace, but an exaggeration by the vendor.
When the merchant saw that she was coquettish and dressed up, he thought she was the favorite concubine of which family. The male hosts in the high-ranking families are willing to spend a lot of money for their concubines. When the vendor saw that business was coming, he bragged again.
"The little lady sinks the fish and the geese, the jasper is ashamed, this palace lamp is especially lined with you!"
It is worthy of doing business, and the clever words are followed by one sentence.
Wanfu touched her purse, her eyes flickered, and she turned around and stretched out her little hand to Li Xuanyin, "Third master, take the money." ”
"Third Master?" Li Xuanyin glanced at the woman's palm and narrowed her eyes slightly.
Wanfu was straightforward, "The master is three at home, and the slave family should call you the third master." ”
As soon as the slave family came out, the merchant looked at the two of them with subtle eyes, and sighed for the beautiful woman in front of him. This lord looks dignified, majestic, and beautiful.
The corner of Li Xuanyin's mouth twitched, took out a few golden beans from his arms, threw them into Wanfu's hand angrily, and flicked her forehead with his fingers, "Nonsense!" ”
The emperor went out on patrol in micro-clothes, and it was impossible not to follow the secret guards around him, and the palace lamp fell on the hands of the dark guards who followed. The two walked along the long street for a while, and the front vendors and stalls gathered in front of them.
Wanfu raised her eyebrows, attracted by the excitement. Li Xuanyin was impatient to be surrounded by a bunch of people, and when she saw that she liked it, she reluctantly protected her and squeezed into the crowd.
The vendor shook the two concentric locks in his hand and shouted: "The ancestral handicraft is the only pair in the world, and it is only given to those who are destined." ”
Someone asked him, "What is a destined person?" ”
The vendor mysteriously took out two pieces of rice paper, and pointed at the paper with his index finger, "There are no colorful phoenix wings, and the heart is clear." People who are destined are naturally affectionate, have a heart, and can communicate with each other. ”
"Look, the small one has two pieces of paper, as long as Miss Childe can write what the other party thinks at this time, she can get this concentric lock."
"Do you want to write what is in the other person's mind at this time? How is this possible? Some people were not interested, and thought that the vendor was deliberately tossing and turning away.
The vendor screamed twice, sighed, and stepped back: "It's really hard to write what the other person thinks at this time, but it's easy enough to write each other's favorite thing!" ”
Hearing this, more and more men and women are eager to try. Nowadays, it doesn't matter if men and women are involved, and participating in it will not be impossible to wipe their faces.
The vendor took a wooden sign with a round of questions hanging on it.
"Each other's favorite flowers."
I don't know why, when Wanfu saw this question, her eyes moved, and she pulled Li Xuanyin's sleeve, "Third master......"
Li Xuanyin could see the woman's thoughts at a glance, and he quietly turned his fingers and took two pieces of rice paper from the vendor.
When the ink pen was held in her hand, Wanfu suddenly regretted it, she knew what kind of flower men liked the most, so why should she guess this time. She was just one of the flowers in the harem, and how could she expect that a man would notice her thoughts.
Wanfu took a deep breath and dropped the word on the rice paper for a long time.
The vendor took the rice paper of the two, and after reading it, he said with a smile: "The two of you are sorry, and you have no chance with the concentric lock." ”
Hearing this, Wanfu's eyes widened in surprise, and she took the piece of rice paper, and was slightly stunned when she saw the word "Chief" of the pen.
She raised her eyes, "How does the third master know ......?"
Li Xuanyin also saw the answer written by Wanfu, which was Bi Tao. To this day, she is reluctant to tell him what she really likes, and even deliberately panders to his preferences in order to please him.
This is how human beings should be. She knows exactly what to do and what to say. If he hadn't really had his heart set for her, he would have loved this woman even more for her sensibility and pleasure a year ago.
But now, he only felt the uneasiness in the woman's heart with himself, and her intimacy with him, her efforts to please him, but only that.
As a harem concubine, there is nothing wrong with her doing so. The mistake was that he was greedy for her and had more and more extravagant expectations.
The lights of the fang market reflected the man's eyebrows and eyes. Li Xuanyin put the purse full of golden beans on the case and bought the concentric lock from the vendor.
The trader has been doing business all his life, and he has never seen so much gold, so he doesn't care if it is an ancestral craft, so he immediately sent the concentric lock respectfully, and by the way, he said two auspicious words, "The son and the lady are talented and beautiful, and they are really a pair made in heaven!" ”
Wanfu ignored the vendor's compliments, and she watched the bag of golden beans thrown into the vendor's hand, and her flesh ached. Although the whole world belongs to the emperor, there is no such way as to profligate.
She tugged at the man's sleeve and whispered, "Third master, it's too much." ”
Li Xuanyin raised her eyebrows, thinking of how wronged she had just been, she endured it, but after all, she didn't hold back the fire, and there was annoyance in her eyes, and she scolded her, "My friendship with you is not worth this purse of golden beans?" ”
What did this woman think of him?
Wanfu noticed that the man's face was not good, and quietly hooked Li Xuanyin's finger, and the "slave ......" touched the man's eyes, and quickly changed her words, "That's not what the concubine meant." ”
That cautious appearance really makes people angry.
Li Xuanyin reluctantly pressed his eyebrows, put the concentric lock in Wanfu's hand, and looked into the woman's eyes with deep dark eyes, "You often wear that pear hairpin, why didn't I notice it?" You like white pears, I remember it, and I'll try to like it. ”
The moon-white silver ash splashed on the side faces of the two, and Wanfu listened to the man's words and did not come back to her senses for a long time.
……
At the end of the long street, there is a gambling house. Wanfu was playful when she was young, and her uncle was a bastard, and he had no taboos, and took her to many men's places, and the gambling house was one of them.
This gambling house is located in the depths of Shangjing Street, not as chaotic and filthy as the lower classes, and it is extravagant and gorgeous everywhere, and those who do not know it still think that it is a place where literati and ink writers are elegant, Wanfu looks at the novelty and insists on going in to have a look.
The private rooms on the second floor are all brocade clothes and mink furs, and the men of the family are richly dressed. When such a beautiful woman as Wanfu entered, it would inevitably attract everyone's attention, and Li Xuanyin quietly blocked Wanfu behind her.
It was at this moment that a tall and thin man with a jade crown and white face came down from the private room on the second floor. The man glanced at Wanfu first, and then looked at Li Xuanyin, "A thousand gold, you concubine, the master wants it." ”
Wanfu raised her eyes to see who this man was, and opened her mouth and closed her mouth to buy a concubine with a thousand gold, which was really a big deal. I can't help but wonder how this person would react if he knew that the man in front of him was the current emperor.
Li Xuanyin lowered his eyes, "Which family are you from?" ”
When the man heard him say this, he raised his eyebrows and raised his eyebrows, "Listen, my aunt and grandmother are the queen mother of today, my aunt is the queen of the six palaces, the emperor's relatives, the whole capital, the master can call the wind and rain, what kind of thing are you, and you deserve to talk to the master and me like this?" ”
He glanced at Wanfu with a squint, "Your beautiful concubine tastes very good, but it's a pity that with you as a lowly inferior, it's better to give it to the master, let the master hurt it well, and give you an official to do!" ”
After saying this, the little guy who ran to the hall hurried over, he had been serving these noble sons for a long time, and he could see at a glance that the man in front of him was not an idle person, although this man did not reveal his identity, but he did not dare to offend.
poured a cup of wine and brought it to He Yan, "He Gongzi dissipated his anger, what kind of woman do you want, give it to the little one, and the little one will be found for you." ”
He Yan pushed him away impatiently, "Vulgar powder, how can you compare to this beautiful and refined beauty." ”
"Since you have come to the gambling house, do you dare to bet on the master, win, the woman next to the master is up to you, and if you lose, you have to give me this beauty!"
Wanfu hated this silverfish, couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart, and looked at the emperor again, wondering how the emperor chose.
Li Xuanyin's eyes were gloomy, he held Wanfu's hand, gradually tightened, and said calmly: "I'll bet with you." ”
Wanfu was shocked, her palms were cold for a moment, and she subconsciously wanted to pull away from the man's palm, but the latter grabbed her. She heard the man's deep voice, "The bet can't be her." ”
"Scared?" He Yan sneered, looking at the extraordinary qi, he was also an incompetent soft persimmon.
Suddenly, a sharp blade tore through the air and flew straight towards He Yan, who was caught off guard and cut a bloody wound in his neck. He covered the wound, "Bold, you ......!" ”
Li Xuanyin's eyes crossed a cold color, he looked at He Yan calmly, as if looking at a dead man, "The bet is changed to a thousand gold, if you don't want to, you will lose your life." ”
Then He Yan is a mixed ancestor, who would be afraid, and was about to call the guards at home, when he saw that behind the man, dozens of secret guards appeared at some point, carrying swords and swords, so it was not terrifying. He Yan has always bullied the weak and feared the hard, so he stopped his arrogance and said in his heart that after tonight, he would definitely ask his father to find out this person and let him watch his joy with this beauty!
The gambling game is set in the private room on the second floor, Wanfu doesn't know what the white emperor means, could it be that the emperor is teaching this He son a lesson?
While she was pondering, Li Xuanyin stuffed a waist card into her hand, "Go down there and replace it with Zhuangzi." ”
Wanfu didn't think much about it, listened to his words, and went downstairs, she was so preoccupied with the emperor's intentions that she naturally ignored the man's gaze that stayed on her for a long time at the end.
When she arrived at the front cabinet, Wanfu was about to bet on the waist card, when she raised her eyes, she was suddenly startled, and a figure fell in front of her, a man dressed in a moon-white robe, faded from the fierce spirit of the battlefield, and his face was handsome, like an ordinary noble son.
Li Xuanzhao stretched out his hand towards Wanfu, "Auntie, are you willing to go with me?" ”
……
Half an hour later, Li Xuanyin was full of black villages in front of him, and He Yan's net worth was lost, and even the brocade he wore was stripped so that only his middle coat remained. He secretly gritted his teeth and resented, daring to humiliate him like this, he would definitely want this person to cry and call him grandpa!
The more time passed, the man pursed his thin lips, and the more careless.
The onlookers saw this seeming casualness, and a strange sense of fear arose in their hearts, and gradually no one dared to speak in the private room, they couldn't guess the identity of this son, but it seemed that in this person, they inexplicably felt the anger of Tianwei.
It wasn't until the secret guard downstairs came up and whispered that the secret guard was so stiff that he didn't even dare to look at the emperor's face.
He Yan couldn't lose anything, he stood up irritably, "Don't bet, grandpa admits defeat, and I'll come back tomorrow to bet with you!" ”
Li Xuanyin twisted his fingers, lifted his eyelids and glanced at He Yan, who was crazy, this glance made He Yan's heart tremble, as if he was already a dead thing in his eyes, almost making him soften his knees.
The latter silently played with the black village in his hand and said lightly, "No need, I lost." ”
Chapter 105
In the middle of the moon, tomorrow is still going to the morning court, the winter day is very cold, a few white snowflakes are falling down, Chen Dehai shrunk his hand into his sleeve, and stomped his feet twice to drive away the cold, the emperor has been shopping with Concubine Ling for two hours, the market is closed, and the people have not come back, Chen Dehai wondered if something had happened.
He took two hot breaths into the palm of his hand, and didn't dare to think about it anymore, what could happen to the emperor's secret guard, who was accompanied by the royal guard.
Chen Dehai stomped his feet twice, and when he looked up, he saw a man coming from the wind and snow from a distance, he immediately threw off the snow on his head, trotted over with a lantern, and saw that the emperor was alone, and did not see Concubine Ling, so he asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, did Concubine Ling Niangniang go back first?" ”
