Chapter 5: Game


In May, the weather in Chang'an is sultry.
Liu Qing slumped happily on the seat, like a fish about to die. The mysterious person outside the window has not appeared these days, and Liu Qinghuan is too lazy to think about it again, anyway, the enemy does not move, I do not move.
Chitao stood by to help her blow the wind, Qing Ye quickly walked to Liu Qinghuan, and put the lacquered plate with peony in her hand on the table case: "Madam, this is the emperor's reward to Houye Ganhe Grapes, Lord Hou specially ordered the slaves to use some ice to bring you. "
As soon as Liu Qinghuan's eyes brightened, it was good to be a noble official! You can use expensive things like ice! Liu Qinghuan was so moved that she cried. She picked up the small wine glass in the plate and poured a little wine into it. The purple liquid was clear and clear, and there was a hint of cold air. Liu Qinghuan drank the wine in the glass, which felt really ... cool.
"It's really good wine!" Liu Qinghuan sighed and poured a glass of wine for himself. After seeing her drink three glasses in a row, Qingxi could not help but remind her: "Mrs. Hou Ye explained, don't drink more."
Liu Qinghuan rolled his eyes in his heart. Ye Hou had to work so hard a day and had to control her whether to drink or not ...
Seems to be aware of Liu Qinghuan's little dissatisfaction, Qing Ye quickly put the small saucer on the lacquer plate in front of Liu Qinghuan: "These silks were cut by Hou Ye personally. Would you like it?
Liu Qinghuan glanced down, the color of the reel in the saucer was transparent, very thin, and it seemed that Hou Ye's knife was very good.
She thought about it and asked, "Hou Ye is having a dinner in the main hall?"
The barley stubbornly said twice, and still answered, "Yes."
"Who is the feast?"
"Yes ... yes, it is Princess Yongfu."
Liu Qinghuan blinked, wasn't she just a princess? She looked at Qing Ye with a slight smile and asked, "Hou Ye and Princess Yongfu have a good relationship?"
"No, it's not!" Qing Ye quickly denied it, but it wasn't appropriate to think about it, so he explained, "Princess Palace and Hou Palace are both in Chongrenfang, so they move around from time to time. Today I heard that the Princess suddenly arrived visit."
"Oh, this." Liu Qinghuan looked at the reed in the saucer, but he did not drop the chopsticks.
Qingxi was anxious, and continued to explain: "Houye grew up with the emperor and the princess since childhood, so they have deep feelings."
Liu Qinghuan didn't answer as if he was thinking about something. Qingtao glanced at Chitao, and Chitao thought: "Madam, this silk looks smooth and refreshing. You should try it quickly."
"Well." Liu Qinghuan responded, grabbed a chopsticks, dipped a little garlic and shallot next to it and ate it.
Qing Yan and Akita looked at her intently, and asked tentatively, "How does it taste?"
"Fish is fresh." Liu Qinghuan put down his chopsticks and poured himself a glass of wine.
Akamo and Aya looked at each other and both saw the same worry in each other's eyes.
Madam seems to be angry. Is Hou Ye unlucky? If Hou Ye is unlucky, do they have to follow it?
In the main hall of Hou Fu, Xue Mu was still having a banquet with Yongfu.
Yongfu glanced at Xue Mu, and smiled and asked, "Will you still ask your wife to come out and let me see you?" Together with her banquet, she secretly sent someone to send a dish of cut crickets, Liu Qinghuan to the end What deserves you to treat her so well?
Xue Mu looked up slightly and asked, "Why is the princess insisting on seeing her?"
Yongfu said, "Isn't it right to invite a lady to banquet to accompany her?"
Xue Mu was silent for a while, then turned to the waiter on the side and said, "Go and ask your wife."
"Yes," said the servant, and bowed back.
After Liu Qinghuan ate the reel of the last chopsticks, when he looked up, he saw an observant at the door. She saluted herself and said respectfully, "Mrs. Grandpa, please go to the main hall."
Liu Qinghuan whispered, "Oh?" She lowered her head for a moment, and then turned her head to look at the aunt: "How is my bun today?"
"Very perfect!" Qing Yan patted the horse fart faithfully, and said nothing else ... the bun was combed by herself.
Liu Qinghuan stood up, took care of his clothes, and went to the main hall with the red peach and green tea.
There are three dancers dancing in the main hall. When Liu Qinghuan came in from behind, the song was about to end. Yongfu's eyes narrowed when she stepped into the main hall. Liu Qinghuan is most fond of the pomegranate skirt. Today, she is still wearing a red skirt. Yongfu's eyes paused for a moment, then she moved away.
She first heard Liu Qinghuan's name from Xue Mu's mouth. At that time Xue Muguang mentioned her name, and her eyes were full of smiles.
Later she ran secretly to see Liu Qinghuan once. She was short and thin, and she didn't look good at all.
This view has not changed to this day. In Yongfu's eyes, Liu Qinghuan never looks good to her.
Liu Qinghuan didn't know when she had come to her. Yongfu looked up to see her saluting her. Her bright red lips went together, but she didn't hear a word.
Now she is full of Xue Mu being called into the palace the day before her marriage.
In the splendid palace, the young emperor sat on the dragon chair, and frowned slightly at the person standing below: "Do you know she has ulterior motive to marry you, or do you insist on marrying her?"
Xue Mu nodded, "Yes."
His voice was loud, and the end of the hall was a little quiet after the end.
Yandi still looked at him and asked, "Never regret it?"
Xue Mu groaned for a moment and replied, "Life is like chess, and you will not regret it."
For a moment, Emperor Yan was speechless, and he was silent for a while before he said: "Xue Mu, you are my best friend since I was a child, and you are an indispensable minister to me. You, even if you do n’t pursue it, I wo n’t let her go.

Xue Mu looked down, as if talking to herself, and assuring Yandi: "I won't let her do this."
After Xue Mu left, Yandi suddenly said to the empty hall, "Did you die?"
A figure slowly appeared after the screen, and Yongfu approached Yandi, biting his own lips and not answering.
Yandi looked at her and waited patiently for her answer.
Yongfu's face was not very good. She took a deep breath and replied, "Yongfu's heart will never die, but ... I'm willing to gamble to lose."
But she didn't know that she would make a gamble with herself that day.
"Princess?" After Liu Qinghuan saw himself coming, Yongfu kept staring at somewhere and couldn't help screaming. Yongfu returned to God and looked at Liu Qinghuan's face. Suddenly he had no mood to continue the banquet.
She snorted at Liu Qing and stood up and looked at Xue Mu: "In a few days, I asked my brother Huang to go to Xishan for hunting, and Houye will come with him."
Xue Mu responded, Yongfu never saw Liu Qinghuan again, and took his subordinates straight back to Princess Mansion.
Liu Qinghuan stood in front of Yongfu's desk and looked at Xue Mu innocently: "The princess doesn't seem to like me, you shouldn't call me here."
Xue Mu smiled, got up from the seat, and walked to her: "Qingqing, have you seen it a little bit recently? It has grown a lot."
"Really?" Liu Qinghuan's attention was suddenly shifted to the little leopard. "Speaking of it, I haven't seen it for a few days. If Hou Ye is fine, why not go with me?"
"OK." Xue Mu took her hand and walked out of the main hall.
Two days later, Liu Qinghuan heard that Xue Mu's six-year-old cousin came to Hou's house, and she was speechless in her heart. This must be the old lady's idea again.
In the past few days, I have to greet the old lady. She has slammed both hard and soft to make herself share the same room with Xue Mu, but the same room is not something she can do alone ... now it is preparing to use a small cousin to impose Is it stress?
Alas, she is not incomprehensible. After all, the old lady has nothing else to do in a day, and can only worry about holding her grandson.
She looked at the two maids next to her and asked, "I heard that Houye's cousin came to the house today. Do you know where he is now?"
Qingying said: "He came around and taught Hou how to martial arts, maybe he is still practicing martial arts in the garden."
Is it like six years old? But does he really have a weapon?
Liu Qing thought for a while, got up and went to the garden.
You can hear the sound of heavy wind breaking across the distance, and the high-five applause mixed with the children. Liu Qinghuan took a few more steps and saw Xue Mu wearing a moon-white robe dancing a gun.
His martial arts are as handsome as the petals of a branch swaying, but they are combining tricks with changes, and they are quick to withdraw sharply, and the gun style is unstoppable.
After Xue Mu danced a set of marksmanship, she settled her gun, and only Yi Yi swayed slightly by the wind. Ning Hongfei flew up and hugged his thigh, and said straightly, "The watch is so good! Teach me and teach me!"
Liu Qinghuan looked at it aside, and felt that this picture was more perfect with "pump me pump me!"
Xue Mu peeled off the dog skin plaster on her leg and looked at Liu Qinghuan aside: "Qingqing, is there something wrong with me?"
Liu Qinghuan stepped forward and smiled, "I heard that my nephew is here, so come and see."
Then Ning Hong looked at Liu Qinghuan. A few days ago, I heard that Biaoyi finally married his wife. Is this this person?
Seeing him look at himself, Liu Qing bent down slightly and asked him with a smile, "Do you like martial arts?"
"Yeah!" Ning Hong nodded heavily, "I will fight like a cousin when I grow up!"
Liu Qinghuan's mouth was bent: "I knew a person when I was a kid and loved martial arts as much as you. He got up three times a day, four swords, five swords, and six boxers. Unimpeded. "
Ning Hong seemed to be inspired by this example, and looked at Liu Qinghuan intently: "Then what? Has he become a general?"
Liu Qinghuan replied briskly: "Then he fell into the river and drowned."
Ning Hong: "..."
The mystery of life is that you can never guess what will happen in the next moment. 2k novel reading network
