Chapter 9: Bright Arms
The early winter morning was still a little cool, and in front of the ten-mile long pavilion, Liu Chen leaned on the edge of the dead tree, clasped his shoulders with his hands, and kicked the gravel under his feet boredly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Maybe it was because he didn't have a good rest last night, Xu Yuyao sat in the grass pavilion, supporting his head with his hands, and his slender figure also shrank softly into the ferret fur.
Seeing that their housewife drooped her eyelids and was drowsy for a while, the maids were very interested in raising a charcoal stove without smoke in this grass pavilion, and the soft fire instantly smoked Xu Yuyao's cheeks red, and from a distance, it was even more charming and lovely.
Cloudy with a north wind, with a little ice rain in the wind, it is impossible to clear today.
Waiting is a very difficult thing, even if he is waiting for Beigong Fu, but Liu Chen's heart is still restless, several times, he wants to go back to the pavilion to talk to Xu Yuyao and pass the time, but when he sees Xu Yuyao's listless little appearance, Liu Chen is really a little crying and laughing.
At this time when the morning dew was slightly drunk, Chang'an City gradually woke up from the cold sleepiness, and outside the ten-mile long pavilion, the people who ushered in the delivery gradually increased, but the grass pavilion had been occupied by Xu Yuyao alone, and the rest of the pedestrians had to follow the example of Liu Chen, and they were crowded under the old trees on both sides of the road.
For someone to occupy the grass pavilion, the people of Chang'an will not have an opinion, the willow flag fluttering in the wind outside the grass pavilion has already explained everything, the looming moving figure in the grass pavilion, don't think about it, it can only be the concubine Xu Yuyao......
The question is, who is Concubine De waiting for? Is it the King of Canglan? No, the King of Canglan entered the city from the Weihe Wharf as early as yesterday, but a discerning person took a slight look at the team by the grass pavilion, and he already recognized the young man squatting in the corner playing with stones, isn't it the King of Canglan himself!
"Hehe, look, the prince is drinking in the northwest, and Concubine De is in the oven......"
"Yes, Concubine De is really a blessing, you look at the prince playing with stones outside, don't you see any complaints......"
"Strict wife control...... Hey, hey!"
"Aren't you?"
ā......ā
"By the way, who is the prince waiting for here with Concubine De? Could it be that the holy lord of which family is going to enter Beijing today?"
"I can't say, it's a noble person from Cangzhou......"
"It makes sense! It can only be a noble person from Cangzhou, and the younger generation welcomes the elders, so it is reasonable to say that such a battle is reasonable!"
......
The chatter outside interrupted Xu Yuyao's sleepiness, and when she came back to her senses, she couldn't help but glance at Liu Chen a little shyly, and couldn't help but secretly annoy herself for her sleepiness, but let outsiders see the joke.
is the so-called husband and wife heart-to-heart, even if she just saw the back of her husband, she also knew that Liu Chen at this time was probably impatient to wait.
"Go and call the prince in, it's cold outside, don't get caught in the cold!"
Concubine De waved her hand, and the little maid smiled and blessed her body, and then floated out of the grass pavilion and went straight to Liu Chen's side.
"Special mother, I've been waiting for almost two hours, and I'll just say that you, you don't sleep in the bed at home, but you want to run here to sleep, isn't this worth suffering...... Alas!"
As soon as he entered the grass pavilion, Liu Chen sat down opposite Xu Yuyao with a golden knife, picked up the teapot on the table and poured a few sips, seeing the embarrassed look on Xu Yuyao's face, he couldn't help but say helplessly: "Tell me, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd......!
"Aren't people for family harmony......
"Prince, Niangniang, Honglu Temple Qing Cao Ying has something to see!"
Xu Yuyao's voice was too small, and before Liu Chen could hear it clearly, the hurried Hua Mama opened the curtain and walked in and said, "The person is already outside!"
"Uh...... Who is Cao Ying?"
Listening to this name, Liu Chen was a little stunned, to tell the truth, those civil and military officials in the court, our Fancheng rangers really don't recognize any of them, but he doesn't recognize them, Xu Yuyao recognizes them, after frowning lightly, Xu Yuyao lowered his voice and approached Liu Chen and said: "This Cao Ying is Gongsun You's uncle, let's pass it in first, see what he has to say!"
Seeing Liu Chen's head, Xu Yuyao put away the charm on her face, and after half a breath, she returned to her previous dignified and graceful appearance.
After a while, under the guidance of Mama Hua, a middle-aged man in a crimson official robe walked into the grass house, he kept bending his waist, walked to the table and bowed his head: "Minister Cao Ying, please Your Royal Highness the King of Canglan, please Concubine De Niang Niang An!
"Excuse me, look at the seats!" a clear and beautiful voice sounded in the grass pavilion, but it made people dare not raise a trace of blasphemy.
It was Xu Yuyao who spoke, this is not surprising! Man Chang'an knew that Liu Chen ignored foreign affairs, everything was done by Xu Yuyao, and Cao Ying was also a smart person, so naturally he had no objections, and after thanking the embroidery pier handed by the maid, he sat down lightly, straightened his body, looked at his nose and nose, and waited for Concubine De's instructions.
"Lord Cao came here in a hurry, but what's the matter?"
"Back to Niangniang's words!" Cao Ying just subconsciously raised his head and glanced at Liu Chen, who was playing with the teapot on the side, and retracted his gaze in an instant, and he replied in a low voice: "The emperor learned that Queen Canglan returned to Beijing today, and specially wrote to Your Majesty, just now, Your Majesty ordered Weichen to come to the Changting Pavilion and greet the queen Niangniang's Luan drive according to the courtesy!"
"Bang!"
The teapot in Liu Chen's hand paused lightly on the stone table, and the grass pavilion instantly fell silent, and even Xu Yuyao, at this time, was very obedient and swallowed the words that came to his mouth back into his stomach.
Stared at Cao Ying for a long time, but didn't find any clues on his face, Liu Chen pondered for a moment, then changed to a smile and said: "Thank you Emperor Ji for your kindness, and I have worked hard Lord Cao!"
"Hehe!" smart people speak, never need to break it, got Liu Chen's reply, Cao Ying's face also bloomed with a happy smile, and he quickly got up, kowtowed again, and said: "The prince is serious, this is the duty of the lower officials, so, the lower officials will retire first, and when the queen is returned, the lower officials will convey the prince's thanks to the emperor!"
"Hmm!"
Escorted by Mama Hua, Cao Ying was satisfied and exited the grass pavilion.
After a long time, Xu Yuyao reached out and took the teapot in Liu Chen's hand, poured himself a full cup, and then sipped the fragrant tea lightly, and said with a smile: "This Gongsun You, he is showing us his arms, but there are some means, such a confidential matter, she also knows!"
"Yes, that's a good thing, at least we don't have to work too what we're going to do next!"
"Hmph!" Xu Yuyao raised her eyebrows, and the red makeup at the corners of her eyes stretched her eyes so thin and long, "Originally, the concubine looked down on her, but I heard my husband say that yesterday, but I didn't expect this Rose Emperor Ji to be really a character!"
"Alas!" Liu Chen shook his head and smiled bitterly, and couldn't help but sigh softly: "Most of the so-called characters are forced out!"
"That's!" Xu Yu nodded, she didn't know what she thought of, her beautiful eyes began to flash with some inexplicable light: "It's just that the concubine's ugly words are ahead, there are some things, the concubine body is given to her, she can ask for it! If the concubine body doesn't give it, she can't rob it! Otherwise, ......"
"Got it!"
Liu Chen smiled, slowly stood up and stretched, and as soon as he turned around, he saw a team of dusty chariots and horses at the end of the road in the distance...... (To be continued.) )
