Chapter 7: Shocking Deception
Liu Xu got up, returned to the bookcase, took the book and continued to read.
The book is "Wanfeng Travel", which belongs to the same volume as the "Travels of a Thousand Rivers" I read a few days ago.
The book describes the geological mountains and the righteousness of the river peaks.
During this period of time, Liu Xu has read more and more books. From astronomy and geography to customs and customs, if the young eunuch sent it every week, he would read the personal records.
Not only that, but out of nowhere, the head of the imperial palace got the handbook that the prince of Qingyang had brought three years ago, when he was still in Qingyang County.
Although the things described in the book are not detailed, Liu Xu knows that it is a good intention after all.
Therefore, I remember it very carefully.
Up to the king of Qingyang, down to the maids who once served, and even the people close to the palace, he experienced them one by one.
Two months later, the weather was already cold, and the wind and snow were covered.
Liu Xu poked his head and looked out the window for a long time.
Seeing the beauty of the flying snow, the face is as white as jade.
Suddenly, I thought of someone.
A girl.
Today is her birthday and she will be nine years old.
But except for that time when they ate persimmons and blew Yuxiao, they never saw each other again. didn't even have a chance to say goodbye, and Liu Xu died.
Where is there a willow in this world?
How can there be the brother Xu in her heart?
Liu Xu turned around, closed the window, and came to the table.
With a piece of drawing paper, he wants to draw a person.
Take the pen, take the charcoal powder, and lightly paint a smile on the paper.
It is with the heart, and it can be seen that the eyebrows and eyes are delicate.
Liu Xu has not been learning to paint for a long time, only started a month ago.
That day, he missed his aunt and decided to learn to paint.
And there was no one to teach, so he asked the young eunuch for the pen and utensils, and since then he has time to practice one or two.
Liu Xu had too much time, so yesterday, he finally put the satisfied Yunxuan Niangniang in the frame.
In about an hour, the painting was finished.
After a closer look, I am quite satisfied.
Liu Xu Shi Ran put down the pen.
In addition to painting, other things to kill time are playing chess.
If there is no opponent, then with yourself.
Compared to other things, playing chess is the most calm. When nothing happens, he plays with his left hand and his right hand.
Liu Xu is very talented, it seems that he has talent in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
But on the contrary, he shouldn't be a person who plays with the flute.
On this day, Liu Xu's eyes looked out the window and saw a green plum sprout.
Undoubtedly, spring has arrived.
It's still the second spring.
Through this window, Liu Xu saw the spring color for two years.
So soon, I'm eleven years old. In a few months, Xia will be twelve years old.
At the age of twelve, in Daming, he could not be called a child. In the blink of an eye, he was about to grow into a teenager.
Compared with the front of the wall, today's Liuxu is too mature.
It is manifested not only in the mind, but also in the body.
Liu Xu's skeleton is broad, his body is slender, and he is strong.
Shocking to the eye, three years of facing the wall made him a handsome son.
Spring goes to summer, time negotiation, three months, and it is just around the corner.
On this day, Liu Xu faced the wall of the scriptures and read the words 'all the law'.
I couldn't help laughing, turned around and took the pen, there were four words, and there was no one to decide.
Just like when he faced the wall in the early years, even if he memorized the 3,200 Buddhist verses on the entire scripture wall, he still believed in people and did not believe in heaven.
After a short time, two young eunuchs came.
One of them handed him a book and said, "This is what my master has given you!"
took it casually, a fire had been lit in the charcoal basin, and Liu Xu threw it in.
Burned together, there were also three years of transcriptions.
"Tell your master, I am the son of Qingyang. Liu Xu said.
The two were slightly stunned, but only retreated and left.
The content of the book is based on the analysis of the character of the son of Qingyang, and how to receive the old man when he sees him tomorrow.
Liu Xu's actions are very obvious, he doesn't need this.
The next day, the Queen Mother arrived.
"Fengtian carrier, the Empress Dowager edict said, the prince of Qingyang has been facing the wall for three years, diligently repenting, and the palace is very pleased. Today's three-year period is coming, and it will be sent to the Jixia School Palace as soon as possible, so that students can study, and do not waste their homework. Chin this. ”
"Xuanqing takes the order! The Empress Dowager is a thousand years old and a thousand years old!" Liu Xu knelt on the ground, extremely calm and a little restrained.
The imperial chief handed over the holy decree, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes.
This teenager has changed extraordinarily, this is his first perception.
Don't panic when you encounter something, don't be surprised when you see people, it's a big deal.
"Can Father-in-law Qian bother you about this?" Liu Xu got up and said.
"But please command. ”
"I beg you to take a leave of absence from the young master, I am in poor health today, and I will go to class again tomorrow. ”
"Yes!" the Imperial Governor bowed.
After three years of facing the wall, I can't go to class directly.
This day's leave is a reprieve time for the young master, classmates, and even those who know themselves in the Jixia Academy.
This is something that Mr. Qian understands.
Therefore, when he looked at Liu Xu, he was even more satisfied, at least he didn't think of this level.
"Then how does the prince go now?" asked Father-in-law Qian.
"Let's go back to the Fire Palace. Liu Xu raised his hand and spoke plainly.
Father-in-law Qian's mind changed suddenly, but he no longer spoke.
......
Princes, princes, and even princesses all have their own palaces.
Lihuo Palace is the residence of the prince of Qingyang, although it is not big, but it is a rockery Qingtang, a pavilion and a garden, the same as a lot.
After a period of time, Liu Xu entered the palace gate, and a maidservant greeted him.
"Luan'er, I haven't seen her so beautiful for three years. Tell this son, don't you think I?" Liu Xu teased to the maid who was close to him.
"I didn't think about it, but the princess missed it so much! No, the letters have been passed around. Said a young woman in formal clothes.
"Where's my mother's letter? Liu Xu stopped ridiculing and suddenly became serious.
"Yo! It seems that you haven't woken up in vain in the past three years, if the princess knows that you are so attentive, wouldn't she be happy?" Luan Er said.
"Sister Luan'er, I don't tease you, you tease me. "For the close servants, Liu Xu will not be dissatisfied.
Because she was the princess's maid, she was favored, and she grew up with the prince of Qingyang, like relatives.
In private, she is more commensurate with her sister.
"Hehe... My family has grown up. It can be seen that Luan'er is very happy today.
Then Liu Xu talked with the other maids a few more words, and returned to the main hall.
The main hall is the bedroom of the prince of Qingyang, although it has been unoccupied for three years, it is still spotless.
In particular, the pattern is the same as in memory.
It can be said that dozens of portable books allowed Liu Xu to inherit all the memories of the prince of Qingyang.
When I walked to the long desk, I saw a pile of letters placed on it, and when I counted them, there were no less than dozens.
Knowing that he couldn't see it, the princess's letters were not interrupted.
Liu Xu sighed lightly in his heart, and then opened it and read it.
As the son of Qingyang, he is the role of the princess's son. He read it carefully and took a long time.
Unconsciously, Luan'er came with green tea.
Seeing that the prince was serious, he didn't bother, just put down the tea lightly and left.
Just before leaving the door, she glanced sideways.
This glance made her face flush a little.
Because when I came in, I heard the maids and maids below talking about it, and said: "I haven't seen you for three years, and the son of the world has become so handsome." ”
"Yes! When I first saw me, I was so shocked that I almost didn't recognize it. ”
"It's not just a change in appearance!" said another girl.
"What else?"
"Don't you notice, when you talk to us, it's much gentler. ”
"Yes, yes. Just like the gentle boy in the book. ”
“......”
“......”
The discussion in private was quite hot, and Luan'er did not reprimand when she heard it, but was happy in her heart.
At this moment, she withdrew her gaze.
Sure enough, the current son of the world is heroic and unconventional.
She has also seen handsome men, but compared with her own son, she always feels that they are inadequate.
It was not until noon that the letter was finished.
In fact, there are no major events, mostly words of missing. Except for one, it was occasionally mentioned that the King of Qingyang sent Yuji over.
It is mentioned in the book that Yuhime is a woman of great talent and beauty.
Why is it beautiful?
Because in addition to her appearance, she also cultivates a set of immortal exercises.
It's called stealth.,Can be invisible.,Can be invisible.,A natural assassin.。
But such an assassin used it on himself, although it was for protection, he let Liu Xu be like a man's back.
How can you be comfortable knowing that you have such a person around you?
It's still a fake world!
So Liu Xu picked up the pen and wrote a letter.
At the beginning, it is the words of missing, and in the middle is three years of enlightenment facing the wall, occasionally mentioning the matter of Yuji, and there is no joy between the words, and finally saying that he is well, and his mother's heart is not worried.
"Luan'er, after dinner, give the letter to Uncle Zhao of the Li Fan Academy. "The envelope is good, and Liu Xu handed it over.
It is one of the seven courts of the Ming Dynasty, where it receives envoys, foreign guests, vassal kings, and envoys.
And Zhao Bin, a subordinate of the King of Qingyang, stayed as a messenger.
The maid was setting out the meal, stretched out her hand to take it, and saw that there were seven words on the envelope, "Mother and Concubine personally enlightened Yang Xuanqing", and she knew that it was the reply of the prince.
Therefore, he put the letter flat on the wooden plate, did not dare to delay, and retreated.
"Wait!" Liu Xu said suddenly.
"What else does the prince command?" Luan'er turned around.
"At noon, it's hot outside, and I'm not in a hurry. Besides, if you don't eat, can Uncle Zhao still skip dinner?"
“... The slave and maid will be sent after dinner. Luan'er thought about it and made sense, and when she spoke, she meant to say goodbye.
"That's right! Come and sit down. ”
"Huh?" Luan Er was stunned.
"Eat with me!" After three years of separation, you don't want to have a meal with me?"
"Luan'er doesn't dare!"
"If you don't dare, then come here!"
Luan'er no longer shirked, but only walked over.
Shizi's lunch is very rich, the meat is fine sea bass, and the dishes are fresh vegetables and fruits. It's not easy to be in such a hot weather.
Liu Xu eats freely, to be more precise, he eats not only food, but also female waitress.
Because of the whole process, Luan'er was hanging her head and her posture was slightly ashamed.
"Are you afraid of me?" Liu Xu asked suddenly.
“... No, no. Luan'er was a little stuttering.
"Then why didn't you eat much?"
"It's that Luan'er is not hungry. ”
"Oh, remember later, come over for every meal. Enough of eating by yourself is enough. Liu Xu said to himself.
"Hmm!" Luan'er nodded, and her heart was inexplicably happy.
How can there be a girl in the world who does not have spring?
is still facing such a handsome son.
"You go and prepare a bucket of cold water in a moment, and I'll rush away. ”
"Yes! The slave and maid are ready, so let's go and prepare. Luan'er was a little flustered.
"Don't worry! You eat first. Liu Xu spoke softly and got up to leave the table.
Although he had been told not to be in a hurry, it was no more than a cup of tea, the food was removed, and the wooden barrel was brought over and filled with cool water.
It's summer, the hottest day, and the sun is blazing outside.
Rinse with cool water to cool down the temperature.
sent his subordinates away, and Luan'er also wanted to retire.
But at this time, Liu Xu pretended to be dissatisfied, and suddenly said seriously: "Come here, do you want this son to undress himself." ”
"I was still young, I washed it for you. Now that you've grown into a man, how can you still do this?" Luan'er said with a blushing face.
"It was my sister then, but not now? It was okay then, and it is natural to do it now. If you don't take it off, I won't wash it, and I'll die of heat. Liu Xu said trickly.
What kind of bastard is this?
It's good to die of heat, but it's used as a threat.
The woman hesitated.
"Come on, Sister Luan'er. After a moment, Liu Xu's voice in the bead curtain rose, and at the same time, his arms were raised flat.
This is the action that only has to signal the subordinate to undress, and the female waiter has no choice but to bow her head.
Liu Xu looked at the woman coming and laughed.
Seeing Liu Xu laughing, Luan'er became more and more shy.
In a moment, the woman moved.
Three years ago, he was not as tall as her, and his body was weak.
Now three years have passed, and he is more than a head taller than her, so in order to unbuckle the tiger, her arm is to be raised.
Looking up like this, he can look at Liu Xu who bows his head.
This look made her face even redder.
It can be said without concealment that she is beautiful.
For example, the face, eyes, and red lips are all beautiful.
Slowly, take off the tiger robe, and then the underwear, as before.
It's just that unlike before, a vigorous and unfamiliar chest muscle was exposed in front of her.
It was the first time he had seen a man's pectoral muscles.
It's so beautiful!
It's like a man seeing a woman's naked body.
Her body was a little hot, her breath was short, and her eyes were slightly burning.
Liu Xu could feel her strangeness and knew that her goal had been achieved.
The woman in this world, the person who will not doubt the most, is the man who is willing to lean in.
The next moment, Liu Xu turned over and entered the barrel.
The water is extremely cool, and the hot skin is soaked in it, which is very refreshing.
"Pinch my shoulders!" Liu Xu closed his eyes lightly and commanded.
The barrel was not high, and there was a straw mat on the outside, and the woman knelt outside the barrel.
Slightly tugging his long hanging hair, scooping up cold water, pouring it on Liu Xu's shoulders, and then gently pinching it open.
Xu is the reason for practicing martial arts, Liu Xu is strong, and the lumpy tendons form strips behind her back, especially the broad shoulders, which she can't hold.
Therefore, the two delicate slender hands fall first on the left shoulder.
And as Liu Xu's breathing was smooth, his strength was much smaller.
"Shizi, what have you done in the past three years?" she asked, knowing that Liu Xu had not slept.
"I miss you!" Liu Xu replied casually.
"I don't believe it! The son of the world is the best at coaxing people now. ”
"Then what else do you think I can do?"
"I don't know. Not thinking about me anyway. The woman said.
When I was a child, my mother said that you are my person, and now that I have grown up, if I say I want it one day, you are not allowed to cheat. ”
"The son of the world is a gentleman! I won't pinch it for you!" Luan Er was coquettish.
"Don't... I want to enjoy it for a while. Liu Xu said.
"Then you can enjoy it in your dreams, I will send a letter to the concubine. The woman knew that Liu Xu intended to tease her, so this sentence was regarded as a retirement.
With that, the woman turned her head and retreated shyly.
Chirping.
The door opened and closed lightly, and Liu Xu opened his eyes.
Shi Ran exhaled a turbid breath and calmed down.
As the closest person to the prince of Qingyang since childhood, Luan'er has crossed this level, and Liu Xu is secretly happy.
After a few moments, he got up, changed into his robe, and walked to his study.
I'm going to class tomorrow.,But for the Jixia School Palace.,It's only a partial idea.。 Liu Xu had to do this homework.
But fortunately, Liu Xu easily found the relevant books.
There are three Daming Courtyards, Guozijian, Hanlin Academy, and Jixia Academy.
Guozi Jian Chongwu, Hanlin Academy Yuwen, Jixia Xuegong Wenwu Shuangxing.
Jixia School Palace, in the Ming court, twelve points of attention.
Not to mention the three princes, in terms of teaching teachers, they are all the youngest famous people.
The students of the school palace are even more legendary, the prince, the princess, the prince, the county lord, the heir of the two ministers and the three princes, if there is only a person with real power in the court, who does not want their children to be able to study under the law?
Because of the Jixia School Palace, only 300 people are accepted per session.
But these 300 people almost assume two-thirds of the important official positions in the Ming Dynasty.
The talents of Jixia School Palace Education can be described as enumerated into Lei.
There is no doubt about this.
Therefore, although the three princes in charge of the sect have no real power, they are terrifying with great energy.
Whether it is the two phases, the queen mother, or the Ming emperor, under the order, the first important thing is to consider it from the perspective of the three dukes.
If the three princes do not object, once there is dissatisfaction, it is difficult for the order to achieve results.
Because of officials at all levels, there are not many people who see the three dukes not bowing down and shouting a teacher.
If it doesn't work, there is no cure. No matter how good the plan is, it will not work.
Therefore, if he is as unruly as the governor, when he sees the third duke, he must be mild-mannered.
By the time the books were finished, it was already dusk.
Liu Xu took the jade sword to the outside of the hall and practiced.
The jade sword was given by King Qingyang in the early years, and it has been hanging in the study, and today Liu Xu took it.
The sky is not hot, and under the afterglow of the sunset, there is a gentle wind.
Liu Xu held the sword and stabbed away, with extreme speed.
There were Luan'er and other maidservants beside him watching and seeing the gods.
"When did Shizi like to practice swords?" After the drill was over, Luan'er handed over wet wipes.
"Loved it three years ago. She didn't like people who were weaker than her, so I practiced for three years. ”
"Is it a princess?" asked the slave and maid.
"Apart from her, who else will go to the Queen Mother to sue me?" Surprisingly, the Qingyang prince in the eyes of the maids was not angry at all.
"It seems that my family is still not giving up. Luan Er teased.
"Why don't you give up?" asked Liu Xu pretending to be.
"I'm still fond of the princess. ”
"Since she doesn't look down on me, how can I not give up?" asked Liu Xu rhetorically.
"Duduplicity!" Luan Er smiled.
"Duplicity, duplicity. I'm hungry, come with me to dinner. ”
But the next moment, Luan'er's face suddenly turned red.
In the presence of so many maidservants, he allowed himself to accompany him to the meal.
After all, the subordinate is the subordinate, who eats with the master and is not in harmony with the etiquette.
It's nothing in private, but at this time, the maids are full of jealousy.
......
