Sweet Beauty
Chapter 56: gift
Ah Shu lay on her back, quietly looking through the darkness, staring at the gauze on the top of the bed.
Liu Xiu had a complicated expression and stared at her calm profile for a long time. He opened his mouth several times when he was full of words, but he couldn't utter a single word.
He wanted to defend himself, but for fear of seeing the disappointment and coldness in her eyes, until she closed her eyes again in silence, he finally sighed secretly, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and turned over and closed his eyes.
This night, the two seemed to be separated by an insurmountable deep ravine, and they could no longer sleep in an intimate embrace as before.
…
In the barracks outside the city, all the soldiers had already gone to bed, and they were only on patrol in a neat line, walking through the camps with light steps from time to time.
In the mountains and forests near the gentle slopes, the night wind is bleak, and the ground is covered with withered and yellow leaves.
Among the many shadows of trees, two figures stood, one was tall and straight, with a youthful face full of youthful vigor, and the other was burly and gloomy, with a gloomy and cold face.
These two people were Jiang Yu and Guan Han, who had been neglected at the reward banquet at night.
Jiang Yu was dressed in black and looked around from time to time, as if she was very uneasy because of her private meeting with Guan Han. He pursed his lips tightly, took a deep breath, and asked in a deep voice, "I don't know what General Guanjun said?"
When just before Liu Yu rewarded everyone, Guan Han's words "why not be afraid of Bole's appreciation" really gave him a glimmer of hope, and this genius met him here in the middle of the night.
Guan Han's gloomy face showed an inexplicable smile: "Of course there are people who appreciate Jiang Lang's intentions." After he said that, he pointed to the silent military camp not far away, "Now in the letter capital, everyone I praise Fan Xiao, but I have long forgotten that you, the real winner, have to win a place in a place where all the sages have come together and where talents gather, I am afraid it will be difficult."
Jiang Yu froze and said angrily, "If it wasn't for General Guan's actions, how could I be in such an embarrassing situation?"
After all, he turned around and was about to leave. His heart was full of regret and ashamed. He should not pay attention to this kind of villain.
Guan Han did not insist on staying, but said meaningfully to his back: "Don't forget what I said today, if you want to come to me one day, my king will be your honored guest."
…
In the early morning of the second day, after Liu Xiu got up, his face was always sullen, but a pair of deep eyes wandered past his wife.
Ah Shu's face was still warm, and she thoughtfully changed his clothes and washed his clothes, and poured tea and vegetables. It was the same as in the past, but her eyelids were always drooping, as if she had deliberately avoided meeting his eyes.
Liu Xiu secretly looked at it several times, wanting to say something to coax him, but he didn't know how to say it, and secondly, he was afraid that the servants would lose face when they saw him being shy and making fun of himself.
In this way, this short morning seemed to be extraordinarily long, until after using the morning meal, he touched his nose and left first.
On the second day of Qiu Ji, Ah Shu still had to go to Tantai with everyone to watch the game.
Although today is not as powerful as yesterday, everyone is still in high spirits. Among the female relatives, Ah Shu always had a smile on her face, behaved decently, looked at the school field under the stage without squinting, and slapped her palms and shouted at the right time.
In the crowd, two eyes looked at her from time to time.
One is from Jiang Chengjun.
After she talked with Ah Shu yesterday, she always wanted to spy on her and quietly how Ah Shu would react, but she didn't see anything different yesterday, and it's still the same today. From the beginning to the end, A Shu was gentle and generous, without any flaws, which made her more and more difficult to see through.
On the other hand, it was Liu Ruo who was nervous in his heart.
I don't know why, but I feel very restless today. Whenever there was a gap, he couldn't help turning his head to look at Ah Shu, and he even hoped that she could look at him. But until the afternoon, she left first without waiting for a look.
While feeling lost in my heart, I gradually lost my mind.
In the evening, he joined the army again, but he still remembered his home, hesitating for a moment, he called a servant to come forward, and instructed: "Return to the letter palace to inform the queen, I will return in an hour, and leave some food to eat. The dessert and me." After that, he hesitated a little, and then said, "Go to the warehouse and pick up the set of throwing pots that I collected last time, and give it to the queen."
That set of pitching pots was one of the gifts presented by the county officials and tyrants not long ago. He has always refused to accept the gold, silver, jade, silk, satin, leather, etc. next to him, or sent them back directly, or filled them into the army. Only on that day, when he saw that set of ingenious pitching of the pot, he suddenly remembered that the little girl seemed to like these tricks very much, so she picked it out and kept it.
Afterwards, he felt remorse. He didn't know why he broke the rules because of her. That set of things was also kept in the warehouse and never sent out. He didn't want it to be useful today.
…
But he said that the servant was instructed to leave, took the pitcher and sent it to the bedroom, bowed his face and said to please: "Queen, the king will be back in an hour, and the servant is specially ordered to send this pitcher to the queen."
After talking, someone moved a box into the house.
Ah Shu nodded and opened the box after he left.
A delicate jade pot is placed in the box. The whole body is clear and the texture is good. The mouth of the pot, the bottom of the pot and the ears are all plated with copper, and the top is decorated with animal patterns. There are ten arrows on each side of the jade pot. The arrowhead is copper-plated, the tail is decorated with feathers, and the arrow body is engraved with cloud patterns. It is a rare and exquisite thing.
She took it out with both hands and looked at it for a while, then she stood up the jade pot, and put twenty arrows into her ears. The reward of the king can never be bumped."
Queer looked at her carefully while carrying the pot into the inner room. She always felt that something was wrong with Ah Shu in the past two days, but she couldn't say why.
When Liu Xiu came back, he didn't rush into the room, but he stopped in the dark in the courtyard and listened intently for a long time, but he heard nothing but tranquility, without the expected happy laughter.
After hesitating for a moment, he stepped into the room and saw that the screen in the center had been moved to the side of the low couch. A Shu was kneeling on the couch, holding a pen in one hand, and brushing strokes between the white cloth on the screen. Sketched carefully, it looks very focused.
Hearing the footsteps, she didn't look sideways, she just finished the long stroke in her hand, Fang put the pen up, and greeted him with a smile: "Your Majesty is back. Today I saw that the ink on this screen is fading, and on a whim, Draw two strokes."
Liu Xiu said "uh", took a pretentious look forward, praised "very good", looked around the room with one pair of eyes, and asked after a while, "You can see the pitching pot I gave you. ?"
A Shuyuan was **** for him. Hearing that, he smiled and took two steps back. He bowed slightly, and thanked him warmly: "Your reward, naturally, I have seen it. Now it has been well placed in the inner room, so I don't dare to neglect it."
As soon as he heard the word "reward", his eyebrows could not help but frown, and he always felt that the kindness was not accepted at all. My heart is weird, but I can't let it out.
He stepped into the inner room, and sure enough, the jade pot and arrow feathers were standing right in the corner of the wall, and there was nothing around them, as if she was treating him at a distance.
The discomfort in his heart became clearer and clearer, and the hands in his sleeves tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened, and after a long while, he said with difficulty: "I remember that you like to play pot throwing, this one was specially reserved for you, the next one is Gifts, I have returned them all."
Ashu blinked and looked at him carefully, with a smile on her cheeks, and said softly, "So, thank you for your hard work."
Liu Xiu couldn't help rubbing his forehead, suppressed the irritability in his heart, sighed helplessly, took two steps back and forth in front of her, and said, "I-this is not a reward, I just thought that you like it, so I leave it as a gift. you."
Ah Shu was kind, and poured tea for him personally: "I know the king is kind-"
He suddenly got up and accidentally knocked over the teacup on the table. The hot tea soup overflowed from the cup, meandered down the table, and splashed directly on her lap.
The scalding temperature quickly penetrated through the clothes and hit the skin on her knees, causing her to take a deep breath.
Liu Xiu was still angry just now, and when he saw it, he was startled, and hurriedly squatted closer, hurriedly uncovered her dress, and lifted her trousers from her ankles, revealing her fair and slender legs.
I saw two pieces of skin between her knees, already reddened by the scorching heat of the tea soup.
In his eyes, the emotions that had just been brewing had vanished, feeling distressed and ashamed. While calling someone to get the plaster, he lowered his head and carefully blew into the burn.
At first, the pain when it was hot was gone in an instant, and Ah Shu only took a breath. But just a moment, before the plaster was taken, the two pieces of red skin began to scorch, and the pain was so strong that she was overwhelmed.
She couldn't help biting her lip and frowning, she tried her best to endure, and a layer of mist filled her bright black eyes.
Liu Yu became more and more panicked, snatched the plaster that Que'er had brought by trotting, not daring to pretend to be his hand, carefully supporting her two slender ankles, and resting the two jasper-like straight and shiny legs on top of her. on your own lap.
A Shu was sitting on the couch. Due to his sudden movement, his upper body was slightly tilted back, and his arms were resting on the pillow beside him, showing a reclining and lazy posture.
Only Liu Xiu had no time to appreciate it. He was stretching out his index finger, scooping out some emerald gel-like plaster, and smearing it on her knees.
The cool touch of the plaster fell on the reddish place, which could barely cover the burning pain.
Ah Shu's body, which had been tense due to pain, finally relaxed a little, and the biting lower lip also loosened, and two small tooth marks fell on the blushing lips.
Liu Xiu threw the used ointment on several cases, stretched her arms behind her shoulders and knees, and with a little force, picked up the person, put it down gently on the edge of the bed, and sat down next to each other, holding the person in her arms. , squeezed her small chin and lifted it gently, looked at her for a moment, and suddenly covered her lips, and after a long time of kissing, she said hoarsely: "I'm sorry, it's my fault, I burned you."
Ah Shu's head was stuffed against the clothes on his shoulder, and there was a feeling of astringency in his nose. When he spoke, he brought some different softness: "It's okay."
Liu Xiu closed his eyes, sighed helplessly, struggled for a moment in his heart, and finally said, "Ashu, your guess yesterday is indeed true."
Ah Shu's voice became more and more dull: "I know."
"No, you don't know—" He suddenly became anxious, licked his dry lips nervously, held her face, and pressed his forehead, "I did start planning when Guo Qu offered advice, and I did lead the way. Yan takes the bait, but that is the last resort!"
Ah Shu's pupils shrank for a moment, then met his eager eyes and waited quietly for the next paragraph.
"I urge Zhao County to prevent the locust plague. At first, it was just to save more people from famine. Later, the rumors of Bingzhou were really forced by what Xie Jin and the Queen Mother did. It was the last resort."
