Sweet Beauty

Chapter 19: Tong Yan

For a while, no one spoke in the room, Ah Shu's face was a little pale, her lips were tightly pursed, and she held one hand tightly in her sleeve, both guilty and a little stubborn, looking at the two brothers and sisters who were deadlocked in front of her.

Only Po Nu and A Dai, led by the maid in the court, walked slowly, and the childish voice came faintly and suddenly.

Liu Xiu's face became colder, and his eyes gradually became embarrassed when he looked at his sister. Liu Zhao was accustomed to being self-willed, and looked back without showing weakness, his eyes gradually filled with tears, and said stubbornly in a low voice: "Eldest brother went so miserably, if it wasn't for you to send someone to bring the body back, he would I'm afraid you can't even go to the ground safely!"

Hearing this, Liu Yu was stunned for a while, then glanced sideways at A Shu, seeing that the two children entered the room, he was not going to have another attack, so he sighed: "A Zhao, I will tell you about this later. Everyone has difficulties. , I only hope that you will be considerate." After that, he quickly put on the affectionate appearance of his elders, looked at the two unsteady children, and said softly, "Long time no see, Po Nu and Adai have grown up a lot."

Liu Zhao was uneasy, stomped his feet slightly, scribbled "I'll go back first", and hurried away.

As soon as she left, Ah Shu's heart that had always been on her mind gradually let go, looking at the child beside her, her expression softened.

Po Nu was a little older, holding a small wooden bow in his hand. He bowed to Liu Yu like a little adult, calling him "Uncle", but because he couldn't stand firmly on his feet, he fell on the couch. Adai leaned against her uncle's leg, looking at her brother's funny appearance, while vaguely calling "Brother," while "giggling" kept laughing.

Both of them were little dolls carved in pink and jade, and A Shu only felt that her heart was about to melt, so she ordered Queer to take out a plate of children's snacks that had been prepared, and handed it to A Dai in person, smiling with a pair of eyes. Curved like a moon, she said softly, "Dear Adai, my aunt invites you to have some snacks."

Unexpectedly, Adaiwu's round eyes turned to look at her for a moment, but she suddenly sniffled, her face wrinkled, she threw herself into Liu Yu's arms and burst into tears, stumbling while crying: -Bad-"

Ah Shu was stunned, the smile on her face froze, she was at a loss while holding the pan, and when she turned her head, she saw the slightly older pooch running up to A Dai with her calf on her feet, with her arms outstretched, her head raised like a calf, and her face full of anger and alertness. He looked at her and said to her, "Auntie is bad, don't get close to Adai!"

When they first met in the afternoon, the two children did not react in this way. How could they become so repulsive of her after only two hours? When I heard the words just now, it seemed that someone was telling stories in front of the two children, calling her aunt a wicked person who killed their father.

The maid on the side hurried forward and took the two children to the side, coaxing them gently, and bowed carefully to Ashu: "Little Young Master is young, and his mouth is open, please forgive the queen."

However, the two children are Liu Xi's orphan. How can she blame it? Just embarrassed.

On the other hand, Liu Xiu looked thoughtfully at the two children who were still staring at A Shu, and said with a frown, "Children are ignorant, but those who gossip behind their backs are hateful. Who did the young master meet this afternoon?"

The two maids suddenly fell silent, knelt on the ground and looked at each other, one of them said in a low voice, "Mrs. Fan was tired in the afternoon, so the two young masters went to Wang Mei's house not long after, until just now, They are all in the same place with Sister Wang…”

Liu Xiu's expression became serious, and she was silent for a moment. She only waved to her maid to carry the child back to Mrs. Fan.

Ah Shu felt uncomfortable, she could clearly feel the rejection from Liu Zhao, and now even the children are treating her so warily, as if in this letter palace, only a few of them belonged to one family, but she, the bride, was completely excluded.

She had grown up being sought after by others, but she was so ridiculed today, so she had to stand silently beside the couch, speechless for a while, only to squeeze out a reluctant smile, and said indifferently, "Your Majesty still needs to be fed. ?"

Liu Yu didn't answer, but suddenly waved to her, made her sit on the couch, and said helplessly: "A Zhao lost her parents when she was in his prime. For her, her elder brother and sister-in-law are no different from her parents. I know that you also lost your father at an early age, and when you grow up with your elder brother, you will understand."

The sky was getting dark, candles were lit indoors, and the dim yellow candlelight flickered on his face, flickering and flickering.

Ah Shu's lips gradually tightened, she tried her best to stare at him, but she didn't dare to blink.

"She's only thirteen now, and her temper is a little eccentric. I hope you will be more considerate of her."

His lips opened and closed, and Ah Shu's back was extraordinarily straight, but his expression gradually disappeared, and he only nodded softly.

Liu Yu looked at her pale cheeks, and suddenly remembered what he had said to himself on the day he parted with Zhao You, and his heart was inexplicably sour. The same is a girl raised by her elder brother. If Zhao You sees her being ridiculed like this, I am afraid that she will be very distressed.

He sighed secretly, reached out and caressed the top of her hair, and said softly: "I know you have been wronged, no matter what, Ah Zhao should not treat you like this."

The warm palm on the top of her head made her scalp numb slightly, she stubbornly wrinkled her small chin, and finally couldn't help blinking a few bright tears, hanging on her white cheeks, as if with dew begonias.

"I'm sixteen this year." Her tone was soft, but with a strong sense of stubbornness and grievance.

Seeing her pitiful and unwilling to bow her head, Liu Xiu finally laughed helplessly. After all, she was also a talented girl.

He moved his palm down, wiped away the tears on her face, and said in a hoarse voice, "I know."

"Tomorrow I will personally tell my sister-in-law to ask her to discipline Ah Zhao in a good way. It's just that after my sister-in-law took care of Adai, she doesn't seem to be in good health, and I'm afraid she won't have much energy. If Ah Zhao tries to provoke again without any reason, you can tell me. I'll tell her myself."

Ah Shu's cheeks felt a little hot, and she nodded silently with her watery black eyes. Although she didn't quite believe how strict Liu Yuzhen could treat her sister for her, she was still a little moved when she heard this, as if someone in this huge letter palace could finally stand by her side.

A lot of tears rolled down her face that had just been wiped clean, one after another, the accumulated grievances that she had just endured so desperately, like a flood that opened the gate, pouring out, the silent tears gradually changed into intermittent The sobbing, finally turned into a non-stop whimper.

Her delicate nose and cheeks were flushed, and she became more and more pitiful.

Liu Yu frowned and looked at it. At first, she was at a loss because of the tears she couldn't wipe away. Later, she couldn't help it, so she had to get closer, hesitantly stretched out her arms, wrapped her arms around her lightly, and patted her back to help her. , whispered softly in her ear: "Don't cry, teach them to see, they think I bullied you."

He raised his eyes and looked towards the door of the house, but saw that although the servants were standing far away, they peeked at this place from time to time.

He coughed lightly, touched his nose, and looked away inexplicably.

In a trance, he recalled that when the two of them were imprisoned in the same room in Xishan, she couldn't help crying.

"It's clearly you who sent someone to bring back the body of your brother, but why didn't you tell the sister-in-law and Ah Zhao?" When he mentioned his brother, he couldn't help the pain, but thinking of Ah Zhao's words just now, he still wanted to ask clearly.

A Shu gradually stopped crying, her eyes were red, and she slowly calmed down: "I am the daughter of the Queen Mother, if I told them at this time, wouldn't I be showing off and demonstrating? Why should I make fun of myself and sprinkle salt on the wounds of others? After all , Let the eldest brother return to his hometown, and it is the right thing to go to the ground for safety, who did it, it doesn't make much difference."

Liu Xiu didn't say a word, just stared at her with complicated eyes.

After washing up in the middle of the night, the two lay on the bed. He stared at the darkness for a long time, and finally got up quietly, put on his clothes, and took out the lacquer box containing Liu Xi's clothes from the box. After three heads, it was put back.

......

On the second day, Liu Yu woke up early in the morning as usual, but did not rush out of the palace. He only went to the west palace to say hello to Mrs. Fan with A Shu after getting dressed.

A Shu quietly looked at the door of the house from a distance, for fear that she would meet Liu Zhao again and be embarrassed.

Liu Yu looked sideways at her as she took a small step and looked around quietly, as if she had guessed what she was thinking, and then chuckled: "A Zhao has always been a snooze and won't get up early."

Ah Shu blushed, and defended with insufficient confidence: "I'm not looking for uncles and sisters..."

When the two walked outside the house, Guo Mi, who was beside Mrs. Fan, greeted her with a smile: "The king and the queen have arrived early, please come in." She said in a low voice, "The wife only used the morning meal, and the two young masters have not yet wake."

A Shu and Liu Yu also lowered their voices subconsciously, and carefully entered the outside room, and saw that Mrs. Fan was sitting upright on the couch drinking syrup.

She was still dressed in filial piety, without a hairpin, her face was pale, but her eyes were very energetic.

Seeing the two entering, he smiled apologetically and said, "Zhong Yuan and Zhao Ji are here. I heard that Po Nu and A Dai were rude yesterday. I have already controlled them. I hope the second brother and Zhao Ji are not surprised."

Ah Shu naturally wouldn't blame them, she hurriedly lowered her head and said, "It's not a big deal, I didn't take it to heart, and my sister-in-law is out."

Liu Xiu also nodded, then said respectfully and solemnly: "I came here today, and I want to beg your sister-in-law. Ah Zhao is older now, and she will be married in a few years. This willful behavior, and her uncontrollable temperament should be changed. Now, she has always been close to her sister-in-law, and she will ask her to take more care in the future, and don't be soft-hearted."

Mrs. Fan was stunned for a while, glanced at Liu Jiu's bowing his head respectfully, took a sip and sighed in remorse: "What Zhong Yuan said is that she lost her mother, and only my sister-in-law came to take care of her. Yesterday I I didn't expect her to have an affair with Po Nu and Adai, but it's not mine."

Ah Shu thought that she was suspicious because the child had made unkind words last night, so she and her husband came to instruct her with grudges, and hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, please don't blame yourself, the child is still young and easy to be influenced by others. A gossiping maid is just talkative."

Mrs. Fan raised her eyebrows and sighed: "How can the maids have such courage? It's Ah Zhao, who is used to speaking out, and maybe it's not intentional. Well, as the elder sister-in-law, I'll be more careful in the future."

Ah Shu felt weird, but she didn't know what was wrong, so she couldn't help but keep an eye on her.

The three talked for a while, and soon Liu Yu and A Shu left.

The author has something to say: little sisters are called uncles, boys from big families are called sons, and girls are called female sons.
