Sweet Beauty

Ah Shu looked around, but saw a tall and tall young man standing on the carriage that was slowly approaching. It was her newlywed husband Liu Yu.

He wears Liu's long crown, and wears a robe of Xuan Xuan. He is imposing, and his figure is extraordinary. Especially on his handsome face, there is a gentle and genial smile. It almost makes people mistakenly think that he is newly married today. Happy and satisfied.

However, when he stepped up and down from the carriage and approached her, smiling and reaching out to her, A Shufang gradually saw that under his charming smile, his eyes were clear and indifferent, and he was looking at her coldly.

Liu Xiong, courtesy name Zhongyuan, is six in his twenties this year. He was born in Dongjun, and his ancestors share the same clan as the late emperor Liu Kuan. He is the eighth-generation grandson of Emperor Wu. However, due to the decree of grace, the generation of Liu Yu and his father Liu An has long since fallen into disgrace. Although they are still clansmen, they are only a mere magistrate of Puyang County.

His brother Liu Xi had few ambitions. When Emperor Cheng collapsed suddenly and his foreign relatives were in chaos, due to resisting harsh taxation, under the name of "Kuang Fu Liu Han", the powerful clans in the East County were united with thousands of people. During the uprising, he encountered Liang Wang's army and served him.

In these short five years, Liu Xiu has shown his sharpness and fame. On the other hand, Liu Xiu, because he is humble and cautious, does not show any sound, although he always follows in the footsteps of his elder brother, he rarely makes enemies.

However, Ah Shu knew that all this was just his appearance. He was kind and tolerant, but he was actually hot on the outside and cold on the inside.

That night in Changle Palace reappeared again, and the warm face in front of him gradually overlapped with the indifference of that day. Ah Shu felt pain all over his body again, and the hand that was stretched out into his palm became cold and trembled slightly.

Liu Yu noticed her trembling involuntarily, raised his eyebrows slightly in doubt, but after a short while, he seemed to have nothing to do, no longer looking at her, just like a gentleman who carefully helped her to board the carriage, and then quickly let go, and took her with him. Knot, walking slowly away in the eyes of everyone.

Liu Yu was crowned king for the first time and had no mansion. He temporarily lived in the Da Situ Mansion, which belonged to Liu Xi, and the wedding ceremony was also held in the Da Situ Mansion.

Along the way, there were a lot of onlookers, and he was always smiling and meticulous. With A Shu on the side, she didn't dare to relax. Even if she was afraid, she tried her best to straighten her back, showing the style of a daughter of a big family.

The wedding ceremony is a facade. If she can't even pass this level, how will she stand still in the future?

At dusk, the carriages and horses traveled to the Da Situ Mansion, and after a distance, they heard the sounds of bells, drums, harps and harps in the mansion, occasionally mixed with the sound of laughter and mockery. From a distance, everyone seemed to be dressed in new clothes and happy. , But after getting closer, I realized that the spectators were divided into several factions. There were Zhang Hou and Geng Yun's close officials, who came to spy on insults, and Liu Yu's trilogy. All of them looked cold and did not see joy.

However, more often, they are still holding on to a wait-and-see attitude, joining in a lively ordinary courtier.

The interior of the mansion should be decorated. Although everything is simple, it is in line with Liu Yu's simple style, but it is not too dull.

As soon as Ashufu stepped into the door, he could vaguely hear the voice of bad chanting: "Da Situ used to have the ambition of the great ancestor, and he was bright and upright, but his second brother has no appearance of inheriting his brother's ambition. Pathetic and hateful."

His voice was so high, as if he was afraid that others would not hear him.

Everyone looked at the prestige, and it turned out that it was the order of the Empress Dowager that day, and the Guanglu doctor Peng Sheng, who was scorned by words, lured Liu Xi into making unkind words and died. This person was originally a grass bandit. Because he had read some books, he was eloquent and eloquent, and his tongue was eloquent.

At this moment, in front of everyone, and talking nonsense at the wedding ceremony, it is obviously to provoke Liu Yu to lose his temper, so that he will end up like Liu Yu.

Everyone held their breath and looked sideways at the newly married two who had just entered the door, just to see if the newly named King Xiao would lose his temper in public and disappear like a flashing meteor.

Ah Shu is also a tight heart, a little sideways.

She was no more than half a meter away from him, and she could clearly see the haze flashing in those drooping eyes, and the slightly clenched fists in the sleeves of his robe. However, in just a moment, the stiffness disappeared, and it returned to the warm and joyful appearance just now.

He took the initiative to take A Shu's hand into the auditorium, and in front of everyone's eyes, he laughed loudly: "Today is a happy day for Yuu, and getting a woman like this is a great blessing, gentlemen, don't talk about other things." After that, Nodding his head, he signaled the ceremony officer to lead each other.

When everyone heard the words, they turned their eyes from him to the bride on the side.

However, just this sight made everyone stunned, and they wished they could sigh and sigh: I have heard Zhao Ji's beautiful name for a long time.

But seeing the bride Bai Xueqiong's appearance, bright pearl red lips, and a body of ice muscle and jade bones, under the black robe, she is even more graceful and slender. .

Even Peng Sheng, who had been rude just now, was speechless at the moment.

Such a beautiful woman is really cheap Liu Yu! If you had a glimpse of its true face, even if Ke Dixing's fate was ahead, I am afraid that there will be no shortage of heroic husbands in the world.

Strange way Liu Yu can even forget the pain of his brother's new bereavement!

For a while, everyone stopped talking, and only looked at the two back and forth with meaningful eyes.

A Shu only felt like a awn on her back, her body became more and more straight, and she looked straight ahead meticulously. The supple and prudent attendant led the way forward, trying to ignore the strange eyes of others.

If she hadn't known his inner heart earlier, I'm afraid that he would have been deceived by his seemingly untrue words, thinking that he was very satisfied with this marriage.

In front of everyone's eyes, A Shu and Liu Yu went through the lavatory bath, the banquet, the same prison, and the salutation, and finally the hair was made, and the audience congratulated and toasted.

So far, courtesy.

As dusk was approaching, the guests were supposed to drink and eat and then dispersed, but Peng Sheng seemed unfinished, and shouted at Liu Yu through the wine: "There are no taboos at the wedding banquet. Now that King Xiao has won a beautiful woman, how can there be no singing and dancing to add to the fun? Why don't you invite Wang Yi to show his style and have fun with the crowd."

After he got the chapter, he came with Da Sima Yi, and if he couldn't make Liu Yu's expression change, he would not be reconciled. He didn't believe it, Liu Xi's death really left him untouched.

As soon as the words fell, several people understood and responded: "Please sing and dance, King Xiao!" This caused everyone to rise up and shouted loudly.

As for Liu Yu's former members, all of them had a gloomy expression, no more concealment, and several more, they were already unbearable and eager to move.

If it is an ordinary wedding ceremony, the groom should indeed entertain with singing and dancing to express his joy. However, this marriage was meant to be persecuted by others, and at this time, Liu Yu was married before his filial piety had come out. Anyone can see that Peng Sheng's move is really deceiving.

However, Liu Yu was still as sharp as he could, standing up calmly and laughing at the audience, as if he had not noticed the insults and disdain in Peng Sheng's words, and said loudly, "What you said is good."

He thought about it, his eyes swept across the bride beside him, and he smiled suddenly: "In that case, I will sing a song "Beauty Song", Bo Jun is happy."

After saying that, he strode forward, stood still in the courtyard, motioned for the musicians to play, so that everyone could watch, put on his clothes and sing and dance.

"There are beautiful women in the north, peerless and independent. Once you look at the city of Qingren, you will also consider the country of Qingren. Would you rather not know the city and the country, it is difficult to find beautiful women again?"

This is a work handed down by musician Li Yannian a hundred years ago. Liu Yuxian used this song to praise the beauty of the bride Zhao Ji, which can make the hero lose his ambitions. His words and actions do not seem to be fake.

Is it really as he said just now that he was so happy to get this woman, that he was forgotten?

Everyone looked at the bride again, such a color, and it seemed to be reasonable.

Not to mention other people, even Ah Shu, was in a trance and couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry at the bottom of his heart. She didn't come back to her senses until she was surrounded by the servants and entered the new room.

The new house was located in the Da Situ Mansion, in Liu Yu's bedroom.

The house is half-new and not old. It is divided into two rooms, an inner and outer room. The outer room is equipped with a sitting and collapsing table with lacquer cups and other objects on the table, and a screen box and other objects behind the seat. Box. The furnishings and arrangements are all simple and unpretentious, and the most extravagant thing is only a wrong gold and bronze linked to the cloud pattern Boshan furnace, in which incense is burning, and green smoke is rising.

The lights on the scattered candlesticks flickered, illuminating the room as if it were daytime.

It was getting late, and Ah Shu went to the bed to sit and wait, still thinking about what happened just now in a trance, only to feel more and more confused.

The servants and servants withdrew, and only one servant remained.

Queer and Ashu were the same age. She was originally the daughter of a tenant farmer in Handan. Later, due to the famine, both her parents died, she lived in various places, and sold herself as a slave to the Zhao family. Because he was young and had a broad face, even when he was skinny due to hunger, he could still see the blessing, so Zhao Fu chose him as his daughter Ashu's maid. The two can be regarded as growing up together. Although they are masters and servants, their friendship is deep.

"Ashu, I just saw that King Xiao is actually very pleased with you. In this way, the young master can rest assured." Queer was naive. Seeing no one else around, he changed her clothes and groomed her while chatting.

Ah Shu frowned and shook her head. The house was clean, which made her vague mind clear a lot.

"How could he please me? If I guessed correctly, he was just like that, and it was all fake."

Queer's eyes widened, and the round face was full of astonishment: "How could it be? He just said so true, sang so well, and was born so handsome, how could he be fake?"

Ah Shu laughed, stretched out her hand and squeezed Que'er's hand: "I see, you are confused by his handsomeness. He seems gentle, but his heart is actually very cold."

People are still beautiful, no matter if they are male or female, if they are born with a good skin, they will be able to win people's hearts before they make any moves. This is the case with Liu Yu. He was born with a high-spirited spirit, a good-looking face like a crown of jade, supplemented by the usual polite and gentle manner, without showing any sound, he can conquer people's hearts when no one notices them. Compared with the heroes of the world, although he is not obvious There are many sharp edges, but it is better than moisturizing things silently and imperceptibly.

Just as he was in the court just now, all those who watched the ceremony, feared only ten of them, believed in his joyful heart today.

Queer was puzzled, and was about to speak, but someone outside shouted loudly: "Xiao Wangzhi."

It turned out that all the guests outside had dispersed, and Liu Yu came back.

I saw the door of the house pushed open from the outside, and he stepped into the starlight, exhausted and drunk, thinking that he had just been poured a lot of wine, and it must be that Peng Sheng still did not give up and pushed others to do it.

Ah Shu and Que'er looked at each other and stopped talking abruptly.

The author has something to say: "Beauty Song" comes from Li Yannian in the Western Han Dynasty.

Regardless of status at weddings, singing and dancing were the customs of the Han Dynasty.
