Sweet Beauty
Chapter 23: feast
Liu Yanshou was a man who followed the way of the golden mean and did not make much decisions. Most of the country's affairs were determined by Zheng Xu, the prime minister of the state.
However, Zheng Xu is very cautious. If there is no real benefit, he will never just take a step. This time he can take the initiative to show his love to Liu Yu, because he has a good reputation in this way. For the clan, after thinking twice, I decided to go to Xindu and take the initiative to discuss the alliance.
In the past, Zheng Xu only said that Liu Xiu's reputation was not as good as Liu Xiu's. Today, during the trial and conversation, I saw that he was a humble and polite person, and he never crossed the line. Whether he treated the real King Ding or his vassals, the doubts were like Xie Jin. Those who have such bad intentions are treated with courtesy, and they never express their emotions and anger. They suddenly feel that this person is a material that can be created, and can follow it.
Satisfied, he glanced at his daughter who was accompanying him.
Zheng Donglan followed behind Liu Xiu, with a pair of beautiful eyes staring at his back, her face was reddish, faintly admiring, just like the attitude of a young daughter's first love. Zheng Xu knew at a glance that she liked this King Xiao very much.
However, his eyes turned to the prince Liu An, who was on the side, but he saw that he was staring at a person not far away, with a dazed and amazed face, and even his steps were sluggish.
Zheng Xu frowned, followed his gaze, and saw a young woman standing on the high steps, with a delicate figure, graceful and graceful, very charming, looking forward, with high spirits, her face was like a bright moon, brighter than the stars. , is absolutely different from others, who else could it be if it wasn't Zhao Ji?
Not only him, at this moment, everyone has seen Liu An's absent-minded appearance, but he himself is still not aware of it, and the atmosphere is awkward for a while.
Liu Yu's eyes dimmed a little, and Liu An's undisguised, straight eyes made him feel inexplicably unhappy in his heart.
There are many beautiful people in Mu Zhaoji, not to mention others, it is himself, just because of her appearance today, she gave birth to a bit of amazing admiration, but only Liu An, it is rude to reveal this in public.
He took two steps forward, in front of everyone, holding A Shu with one hand, the tall figure half-hiding her behind him, blocking the eyes of others for her: "This is my wife Zhao Ji." This looks like a very Love your wife.
Only then did Liu An wake up suddenly, and was startled to lose his composure. With a handsome face red, he hurriedly looked away, not daring to do it again, but in his heart there was still an unstoppable regret and admiration for such a rare beauty, who has already passed away. Married as a wife, I heard that her wedding ceremony with King Xiao was done during Liu Xu's filial piety period. Such grievances are pitiful.
A Shu just now was also slightly embarrassed by that unbridled gaze. As soon as he touched Liu Yu's hand, he subconsciously shook it back.
Feeling the soft and warm delicate touch in the palm of his hand, Liu Yu felt a little relieved. When he turned to look at her, he smelled a faint fragrance again. He only felt that his eyes were covered with bright colors, and his heart was swollen.
His movements were subtle, but Ah Shu was sharp and surprised, and turned to look at him.
The two of them looked at each other, and they both looked away in silence, in the eyes of outsiders, they were tacit and loving.
Zheng Xu and Liu Yanshou saw their small movements in their eyes, and their expressions condensed, and they exchanged glances. The two of them originally came with the intention of marrying King Xiao with military and horse as a plan. At this moment, seeing Liu Xiu so fond of Zhao Ji, they suddenly felt a little unsure.
Liu Yu felt impulsive and his heart was hot. He smiled nonchalantly and said to everyone, "It's almost dusk, everyone, please enter the hall."
After saying that, he made a gesture of invitation to Liu Yanshou, and the two walked in together.
When moving, as if inadvertently, something loosened from his waist and quietly landed on the steps covered with red silk. No one else noticed, and walked straight past, only Zheng Donglan, who was always looking at Liu Yu, stopped on the steps, quietly picked it up, and hid it in her sleeves.
Not long after, everyone took their seats at the banquet hall.
Because of the presence of female guests, A Shu had already sent someone to invite Mrs. Fan and Liu Zhao to attend together.
Mrs. Fan's face was ill, and when her eyes swept across the hands that A Shu and Liu Yu held, she only paused for a moment and then moved away naturally. Only then did he barely stabilize his mind, turned his eyes away in a fit of anger, and looked for the woman Zheng beside him to speak.
A Shu noticed her dissatisfaction, for fear that she would make a rude remark at the banquet because of her impulsiveness, she quickly took out her hand from Liu Xiu's hand, hid it in her sleeve, and sat upright.
Liu Yu raised his eyebrows, looked at her inexplicably, but did not speak, but he was somewhat dissatisfied. In the past, I only felt that this woman was sometimes afraid of him, but now it seems that she is ashamed to reveal to others that he is her husband.
Even if he had other plans tonight, she really made him annoyed by her reaction.
The wine is ready on the table, and after a while, the servants will bring melons and fruits and snacks into it, and serve them one by one, and the servants will carry the copper square furnace and place it in front of the hall, take the red-hot charcoal into it, and put the whole The lamb was roasted on the rack, but after a while, the room was full of meaty aroma.
Ashu poured wine for Liu Yu, and the two raised their glasses to drink with the guests. Immediately afterwards, the sound of bells and drums rang out, and maiko fished into the room. Nowadays, when it comes to feasting, no matter men, women, young or old, everyone loves wine, singing and dancing, so after a while, the atmosphere in the hall becomes warm.
In the name of the same clan, Liu Yu and Liu Yanshou drank two more cups. As if inadvertently, he lowered his head and glanced at the empty waist, his complexion changed slightly.
Liu Yanshou checked his demeanor, put down the glass and asked, "Your Majesty, what happened?"
Liu Yu shook his head and smiled and said, "It's nothing, just lost something important." As he said that, he looked at A Shu, who was beside him, and said with guilt, "It's the sachet embroidered by the queen herself, and it was taken with you on a lonely day. and never left."
When Ah Shu heard what he said, she knew that the sachet was missing. It's just that why did he bring it up every day? It was done the day before yesterday, but he only took it for two days. Seeing the envious and sighing eyes of the people around her when they looked over, she was really annoyed.
After being married for a long time, she was cautious every day, for fear of making him unhappy, and she lived a very wronged life. But he only needs to wear a sachet for two days and shake her hand to gain a reputation as a beloved wife. This world is tolerant of men, and it is really harsh to women.
Liu Yanshou laughed dryly and complimented: "The king and the king are really harmonious, and they can be a model."
Since he entered the Xindu, he always wanted to take the opportunity to mention the marriage, but this Liu Yu, not only did not have any position on Zheng Donglan, but also changed the conversation every time, so that he had no chance to speak.
At this moment, everyone praised the relationship between the king and the queen, how could he still mention Donglan's marriage?
He was feeling annoyed and embarrassed when he heard a weak female voice in the room: "Is this what the king lost?"
Everyone looked at the sound, but saw Zheng Nu Yingying getting up from the couch, holding a small sachet in her hand, and respectfully presented it.
Ash's face turned red again.
This clumsy sachet really made her face dull.
However, Liu Yu got up happily, stepped down in person, took it back from Zheng Nu's hands, and without looking at her, went back to his seat and apologized to Ah Shu in front of everyone: "I'd better ask Zhao Ji to put it on for me. It can't be lost anymore."
Ah Shu bit her lip and lowered her brows to take it, but she couldn't hold it back, and glared at him complainingly before everyone noticed.
Zheng Donglan still knelt and sat on the spot, looking up at the intimate appearance of the two, feeling astringent.
It was the first time she had been so neglected and neglected.
Before leaving Zhending, her parents and uncle had explained to her that they would marry Xiao Wang Liu Ruo at the age of the trip, so as to ensure that Zhending would form an alliance with her in the future.
She had heard about Liu Yu, although he was a gentleman, but in the end he already had a wife, and she was unwilling to marry him like this and be subservient to others.
But in the end, she is also the youngest daughter of the first love, and now she is able to see the real person. He is not only handsome, but also has the gentle appearance of a modest gentleman, which makes her involuntarily fall in love.
Looking at him again, he was so considerate to the wife he was forced to marry during the filial piety period, and she felt that this person was more reliable and reliable, and could be regarded as a good person.
It was such a man whom she rarely liked, yet he was so alienated from her.
She felt that she had lost face, so she raised her wine glass, turned to the queen, and smiled respectfully: "I heard the name of the queen earlier, and I saw it today. It's really extraordinary. The concubine is really happy. I would like to honor the queen and have a drink."
After all, let's have a drink.
In the fashion of booze, Zheng Nu's move made everyone applaud, and they turned to Zhao Ji and waited for her reaction.
Ah Shu looked at the wine glass that was bigger than her fist in front of her, a little embarrassed. She's really not good at drinking, but three or two sips are fine. If she drinks the whole cup like this, she's afraid she'll get drunk.
But in the eyes of everyone, there was no way to retreat. She smiled at Zheng Donglan and said, "Ji Miaozan." After speaking, she raised her glass, covered her sleeves, and drank her teeth.
A faint heat suddenly rose in the chest cavity between Ah Shu's throat. At first, he could endure it, but after a while, he felt flushed and dizzy.
Liu Zhao watched coldly from the side, and suddenly interjected: "Brother, I met this elder sister very much at first sight, and we are very close. I wonder if I can ask her to stay in the palace for a few days?"
Zheng Donglan was surprised, her eyes wandered back and forth between Liu Zhao and Zhao Ji, and she guessed that there was no harmony between the two sisters-in-law.
She then took advantage of the situation and said: "The young lady loves, and the concubine also feels the same, please the king."
Liu Xiu glanced at his sister, suppressed the displeasure in his heart, thought for a moment, and turned to Ashu: "The queen is always in charge of matters in the palace."
At this moment, Ah Shu was feeling overwhelmed by alcohol and was upset. Hearing the words, she felt even more manic-depressed. Is it not clear what Zheng Nv means? Liu Zhao made it clear that he wanted to help her. As a queen, how could Liu Zhao and Zheng Nu lose face in public?
She then insisted on her demeanor, nodded and said, "Since it's what my uncle and sister asked, how can I not agree? I just hope that Zheng Ji will not dislike the simplicity of the palace."
Zheng Donglan's goal was achieved, she was satisfied, and quickly expressed her thanks.
Liu Yu felt inexplicable dissatisfaction in his heart.
He didn't believe that Zhao Ji knew nothing about the marriage of Zheng's daughter. But now that she knew it, she still responded without any connection.
Do you really not care?
He became increasingly annoyed, took a sip of wine without saying a word, and quietly turned his eyes to look at her, but he couldn't take his eyes away.
Xu Shi was drinking wine, and the woman was stunned at the moment, her skin was bright, her eyes were misty, her lips were white and her teeth were pale, and she was so tender and slightly breathing that she was as delicate and dripping as a dewed begonia, shaky and weak.
This look is dazzling and eye-catching.
He shrank violently, looked around subconsciously, and saw many men in the room, drinking and talking, and peeking at this side.
You can't stay in this hall any longer.
"The queen is drunk, let's go back and rest." He quickly ordered someone to help her up from left to right, and exited from the side door of the palace.
The beauty left, and everyone felt bored, so they stopped looking around. There are only a pair of young and handsome eyes, reluctantly looking at the side door where the beauty is leaving.
For a long time, while no one was paying attention, he quietly got up and stepped out of the door in the dark.
The author has something to say: come first.
