“I want the following to offend the superior.” “I want the following to offend the superior.” “I want the following to offend the superior.”
His body was mixed with the faint fragrance of wine, which pressed me on the edge of the rockery.
I chuckled and said, “Liu Changqi, are you drunk?”
It’s just that he was invited to have a drink at the banquet just now, and I didn’t expect him to be so delirious.
I’m so surprised.
“Princess..” He whispered in my ear. In the
past, he was always upright and prudent in my eyes, but no one has ever seen him like this now.
Fortunately, I am not drunk, but here is a rockery that people will pass by at any time. If the long princess is seen to be entangled with Taifu, my prince brother will lose a good teacher.
I made a prompt decision to push him away, but Lord Taifu’s lower plate was too stable to push.
“Liu Chang-chi, spread it out!”
But he did not move, blinking at me with a pair of extremely beautiful eyes.
I grabbed his chin, stood on tiptoe, bit him hard, and then, while he was stunned, pushed him with both hands and watched him fall into the lake behind him.
Lord Taifu fell into the lake with a loud splash. I stood by the lake and shouted into the distance,
“Come on!”! Taifu has fallen into the water!
The next day, I came to see him with a basket of native eggs.
Now we all know that Lord Zhengyipin Taifu is the capacity to drink a glass of wine and fall into the lake, and the weak constitution that can have a fever overnight after soaking in the lake water in the dog days.
Don’t you all come to watch the fun.
The maid, Little Flower, said, “I heard that Lord Sanbo has been sent away from Liu Taifu’s house, and now they are looking for someone to repair the threshold.”
“Do you think they came to see Liu Chang-chi because he was sick?”
“Absolutely impossible!”
Why is it impossible? Because our Taifu is famous for his seriousness, even his clothes are rarely wrinkled, standing in the middle of a rough man in the court, he seems to emit holy light.
So compared with his illness, the drunken fall into the water is like someone running naked in the city, but it attracts the interest of the old men who like to watch the fun.
And it was I, the only princess in the court, who got him drunk, and it was I who found him falling into the water. I was afraid that a long book of ten thousand words would come out when it fell into their ears.
It seemed that the princess had coveted Taifu for a long time, so she took advantage of the palace banquet to get Taifu drunk and force him to submit. In order to keep his innocence, Taifu would rather die than obey, and jumped into the lake in despair. When I
heard the twisted rumors, my face was broken with laughter. I was a weak woman who had no power to tie a chicken. I forced the eight-foot man to jump into the lake. How to listen to it is Liu Changqi’s shame.
I found Liu Changqi’s house in a familiar way.
“Wait!” Before I could open the door, Xiaohua stopped me in a hurry. “Isn’t that appropriate, Princess?!”! What if he’s naked! What if he’s in the shower! Why don’t you knock first?
Yes, I did see a scene where I was thrown over my head by a robe and pushed out of the door.
Later, when I had a nosebleed in the middle of the night, Liu Chang-chi didn’t care to get angry with me any more. He could only help me stop the bleeding while scolding me in a low voice: “It’s getting late, and it’s really unreasonable for the princess to break into the man’s house alone.”
And I would just laugh and look at him sulking and say, “Don’t worry, I stole it.” Then he added, “I’ll sneak out again tomorrow.” Then he gave me the room to live in and lived alone in the study.
It’s just that I haven’t had time to fix the back wall that I broke.
But this time, before it was my turn to break in, the closed door was opened, and an old hen jumped out and jumped into my arms with an excited “cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck!”! Da!
Then Liu Changqi’s attendant Xiao Hei stretched out his head and said softly, “Princess, Lord Taifu, let you in.”
“Xiao Hei, I came in through the front door.” I didn’t climb over the wall.
Blackie immediately opened the door and angrily stretched out his hand to lead the way for me. “Princess!”! Lord Taifu invites you into the house!
It doesn’t have to be that loud.
I felt the head of the old hen and swaggered into the house. I thought the old hen was the best at laying eggs in the princess’s house, so I gave it to him specially. I thought he would take it to cook soup, but unexpectedly he kept it in his residence. I was so touched.
Liu Changqi lay on the couch, much more serious than I thought. Obviously, the night had passed, but he was still pale, sweating, and his eyes were slightly open and scattered.
“Princess, I’m sorry I can’t stay to meet you.” He spoke in the same respectful tone as before, only half faintly.
Mingming wanted to make a mistake last night. How could he change his appearance when he sobered up.
When he saw the old hen wriggling in my arms, he explained, “This, this chicken, it forced its way in. I saw that it was not noisy, so I let it stay all night.”
I put down the little fellow in my hand and sat down next to him, trying to reach out and try his forehead. I guess his next sentence must be, “Men and women are not close to each other. The princess must not go beyond the rules!”
Sure enough, he turned his head and frowned. “Princess!”! Men and women. Ahem! Cough!
But before he finished speaking, he coughed violently and trembled all over his body. I patted him on the back to help him breathe smoothly, but his bed was not as warm as it should be.
“Why do you cough so badly?” I frowned, too.
Liu Chang-chi sat up slowly and said, “It’s just a stubborn illness from childhood. The princess doesn’t have to worry about it.”
“I’ve known you for so long that I didn’t know you were so weak.”
I saw him breathing intermittently, and when I touched his hand, I found that his whole body was trembling slightly, his heart was throbbing, and his eyes were red.
Liu Changqi’s wine was poured by me, and the lake was pushed down by me. It was my fault to let him suffer.
“Whoo, whoo..” The shame is that my tears have already flowed down, I quickly wiped them away with my hands, but the salty tears still kept flowing.
“Don’t cry, Princess.” Liu Changqi raised his hand with some difficulty and wiped it for me with his close-fitting veil.
“I’m sorry, Liu Chang-chi. I won’t drink you any more!”
“I don’t blame the princess, it’s just that I can’t hold my liquor.”
I have known Liu Changqi for six years. When I was ten years old, he was twelve years old.
I heard that General Liu had only married one wife in his life, and everyone knew that they loved each other. It was a pity that Liu’s mother was premature and died before she could take a look at Liu Changqi. At that time, General Liu had not come back from the battlefield. After the death of Mrs.
Liu, the general did not renew the string.
Later, General Liu spent his whole life on the battlefield. He rode down eight cities of Xianbei and made great contributions. When I returned to the capital, I only saw a desolate old man with white hair on his temples and a 12-year-old boy. When General
Liu and his father were talking, I took the initiative to approach Liu Changqi. He doesn’t look like a general’s son.
I asked him, “Your father is so powerful. Can you play with him?”
He shook his head. “I won’t.”
“Isn’t it strange that your father didn’t teach you?”
“He forbade me to practice martial arts.” He also felt that what he had said was not accurate enough. “He didn’t like me to practice martial arts, and he didn’t want me to be a general.” When General
Liu took him away, I was still a little reluctant to leave. In the
next two years, I didn’t have much contact with him. I only met him a few times when I sneaked out of the palace and passed by their house. And every time he asked me to go back to the palace quickly to be careful of being discovered by my father. He asked me why I came out to play alone, and then followed me all the way for fear that I would be abducted by human traffickers. When
I was twelve years old, bad news came from the army. General Liu was seriously wounded and surrounded by the enemy during the war with Qi and Yi. He refused to be captured and committed suicide.
At that time, the whole country mourned, and all the people joined forces to erect a statue of General Liu and build a tomb. Even the old emperor was depressed for a long time. In this sad atmosphere of full encirclement, I could not help but shed tears. As I cried
, I heard that the old emperor was going to take Liu Changqi into the palace to raise him. At that time,
I secretly determined that I must be good to Liu Changqi in the future! If his father protects the country, I will protect his son!
Unfortunately, I didn’t do it.
Liu Changqi doesn’t like to play, he only likes reading. When
I took my brothers to climb the tree and dig out the bird’s nest, he sat under the tree and read the Analects of Confucius. When
I climbed over the wall and went out to buy a ice-sugar gourds, he stood under the wall and put his shoulder on my feet, holding a copy of the Classic of Mountains and Rivers in his hand.
Over time, I stopped bothering him.
Two years later, he took part in the imperial examination and won the first prize. The old emperor was very happy. With his background, he directly made him a Taifu to be the prince’s teacher.
I don’t know why the old emperor insisted on making him a Taifu. He couldn’t practice martial arts. Isn’t that a sore spot for him?
The prince was unhappy and felt that his teacher was only three years older than himself, which was too humiliating. He encouraged me to play tricks on him together. After that, I was punished together with him. Later, the prince was convinced by Liu Changqi’s true ability, but I went further and further on the way to test Liu Changqi’s bottom line.
Liu Changqi has been ill for several days, so far he has not heard the news of his recovery, and I was summoned to the palace by the queen to talk about the old days.
Said to catch up, but I do not want to go, she is not my mother, or even killed my mother’s fuse. After the death of
my mother’s concubine, I was adopted by the old emperor, so I had to do some superficial work.
Who called the old emperor is a big love, in order to the queen can sit firmly after the throne, personally paved the way for her. All the ministers in
the court like to force the emperor to choose his wife and give him a wife. In order to prove his sincerity to the queen, and also to give a blow to the ministers in the court, he killed my mother.
Then she falsely accused my mother of committing suicide because she had caused another concubine to have a miscarriage, and the other concubine’s miscarriage was also the saffron he had forced into her. The whole thing was deliberately flawed, so that the ministers in the court could not only detect the emperor’s meaning, but also did not know how to blame her. I was only five years old
at that time, but I was not a fool. The old emperor killed my mother in front of me and told me that he was playing house. After
I was adopted, the palace was praising the queen for having the style of the mother of the country and being willing to take in the children of the guilty daughter.
Is it disgusting? To say that the queen can’t guess what the old emperor did, I don’t believe anything. Reluctantly,
I followed Mammy all the way to the Changning Palace. The queen was a gentle person. When she saw me, she greeted me with a smile and asked the maid to make tea for me. I almost forgot the way she scolded the prince with three broadswords. As always,
she took my hand and chatted about my daily life.
Just as they were talking, a maid of honor came in to salute and said, “Empress, Liu Taifu is here.”
My eyes lit up at once.
The empress was also very happy: “Let Liu Taifu come in quickly.” As soon as
Liu Changqi saw that he was dragging his sick body, his lips were pale and the soles of his feet were floating.
“I pay my respects to the empress, the princess.”
There’s no need to be too polite. Is Taifu here to check on the prince’s schoolwork? He is in his own bedroom. Then he
asked the maid who had come to inform him to lead the way for him.
I suffered for a long time in the conversation with the queen, and finally waited until Liu Changqi came out to say goodbye. After he left, I also left the awkward place on the pretext that it was late.
Liu Chang-chi was not walking fast, and I quickly caught up with him. “How are you, Master Taifu?”
He replied respectfully, “Thank you for your concern. I’m much better now.”
I was about to remind him that it was better to rest in the house when he was ill, but he shook his body slightly and frowned: “Princess..” I Before
I opened my mouth, my broad body fell towards me and threw me heavily on the stone wall behind me. I hugged his waist for fear that he would fall down again.
Liu Taifu? Liu Changqi?
He’s not responding. It’s
over. He’s dizzy.
This time I went directly to the hospital to pull a slip of the doctor hurriedly followed to Liu Changqi’s house.
Several doctors took turns to feel Liu Changqi’s pulse and finally reached an agreement.
Liu Changqi was born prematurely and had the problem of infirmity. The most important thing is that Liu Taifu loves reading, reading is a day, often forget to eat, do not often walk, so Qi and blood loss.
Finally, they wrote out a prescription together, and I gave it to Xiaohei to fill the medicine on time every day.
I probably understand that to let Liu Changqi take medicine on time, eat normally and exercise frequently, his body, which is comparable to the old, weak, sick and disabled, can be saved.
I think I should secretly change Liu Changqi’s book into “thirty-eight styles of health preservation”. It was only after
the Imperial Physician had left that Liu Changqi slowly woke up from his lethargy. At that time, I was yawning and waiting for Xiaohei to bring the medicine. I was already imagining that I would “reluctantly” feed him mouth to mouth before he woke up.
Too bad he woke up.
“Princess?” “Oh, I’m here, Lord Liu,”
I promised.
When I helped him sit up, he seemed to remember how he had fainted. He asked me with some concern, “Did you hurt the princess when he fainted?”
“Oh, my Lord Taifu, you’d better worry about yourself first.”
“If the Imperial Physician hadn’t asked Xiaohei about you, I wouldn’t have known that you often forget to eat and sleep in order to study!” “Why don’t you eat when you know you’re weak?” I thought angrily.
I pinched my waist and questioned him.
“I just..”
I stared at him to see what he could say.
“Forgot..” He hurriedly remedies, “I listen to the princess.”. When the princess lets the minister eat, the minister eats.
Then Xiao Hei came in with the medicine. I took the black juice and sat beside Liu Changqi’s bed. I didn’t find that he frowned slightly.
“Come, Lord Taifu, drink the medicine.”
I wanted to feed him a small spoon, but he took the bowl directly and poured it down, then put the candied fruit handed by Xiaohei into his mouth, looking slightly painful.
“Is this candied fruit?” I was surprised. “Are you afraid of hardship?”
Blackie answered, “Princess Hui, when there were no candied fruits, your excellency used to pour out the medicine with his servants on his back.”
“Blackie!” Embarrassed by the discovery of his secret, Liu Chang-chi asks, “How did you know?”
“My Lord, the medicinal smell of the flowerpots in your study is so small that you can smell it through the window. It’s just that you’re used to staying in your study every day, so you can’t smell it yourself.”
May be ashamed to add shame, Liu Changqi’s face finally has a little blood.
He looked at me and sighed. “Laugh if you want to, princess.”
I am a very efficient princess, and I will change books for him if I say so. I always come and go freely in
Liu Changqi’s study. When
I put the book on the table, I caught a glimpse of the picture on the desk, which looked like a string of figures. I thought it was interesting and looked at it twice. Few pictures of little people
I have seen have colors other than ink and wash, but the figure in this picture is fine to the color of the hair crown on the head.
Liu Changqi’s usual ink is pine smoke ink, and his calligraphy and paintings are thick black but dull. The first half of the painting in this picture was made with oil smoke ink, and later changed to pine smoke ink, but I know that this large painting was made by Liu Changqi. On the day when
I was fifteen years old, a storehouse was filled with gold, silver and jewels given by the old emperor and various ministers. Only Liu Changqi gave me a painting, which was my portrait.
In my study, I had seen his paintings of mountain pines, bamboos, attics and palaces, but I had never seen any living things. I asked him to draw a chicken, but he refused, so I asked him to draw me. It was just a joke, but he really gave me one.
Later, I looked at it in my room every day and asked the best craftsmen to frame it for storage.
No matter how the style of painting changes, it can not be separated from his original flavor. At the beginning of the
first picture, the brush strokes of the little people are slightly immature, and then they become more and more mature, until the last one is a picture of a general holding a pike and wearing armor.
His protagonist is always a teenager, playing horse racing in the horse farm, hunting in the jungle, killing all sides in the battlefield, and attacking the enemy.
Young chivalrous spirit, fresh clothes and angry horses.
I think I should call it the history of the general’s growth.
But what I noticed more was that the general in the picture was thin, with a small mole on his earlobe and neck, and a carbuncle embedded in the crown of his hair.
This is clearly Liu Changqi himself.
Liu Changqi has always loved reading and has never seen him practice martial arts. Why did he draw his own general picture.
And this painting has obviously been preserved for a long time, the ink is painted bit by bit day by day, but it does not even have a horizontal fold. There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the
study, and I heard a slightly surprised voice from the little flower: “Lord Taifu.” The door of
the study was pushed open by a pair of big hands. The tall man was breathing heavily. He was obviously running over. It seemed that his body was healed.
He came forward, stared at the desk with a serious face, and saw that the table had not been touched, and obviously closed his eyes with a sigh of relief. Feeling guilty,
I smiled. “Lord Taifu, it’s early today, isn’t it?”
“It’s not early,” he said. “It’s just that as soon as I got into the house, I heard that the princess was waiting for me in the study, so I came running.”
I saw a little sweat on his forehead and took out the veil and handed it to him.
I thrust the book at him, burning my lips and saying, “Lord Taifu, this is the book I found for you. Remember to grind it carefully. Anyway, if you do what it says, you can live for another twenty or thirty years.”
He was stunned for a moment, then clenched the book and responded to me in his usual calm tone: “Thank you, Princess, I..” Try to live for another 20 to 30 years.
That couldn’t be better. Feeling guilty,
I didn’t know what to say, so I told him, “Remember to take medicine, and breakfast, lunch, and dinner!”! The little hen in my house will lay eggs soon, and I have to go back to deliver it. Take your leave first!
Liu Chang-chi has long been used to my incongruity, and only cares about me: “Just now it began to rain a little. Although the rain has stopped now, it’s hard to avoid slipping on the soles of my feet. The princess must remember to tell the driver to be more careful.”
“Little Flower, bring me a jar of wine, and then go to the mellow shop and get a jar of plum wine.”
After a while, Xiaohua took two cans of wine, and I took two glasses with me and put them all in my arms.
“Go, climb the wall.”
When I climbed to the roof of Liu Changqi’s house, it was already dark, and the wine glasses and the porcelain jars filled with wine hit the tiles with a clear sound.
The wind is clear and the moon is bright.
I am waiting for a person with a bright moon and a clear wind under such scenery. The candle lamp in the study
not far away was burning out, but after a while, the lamp was blown out, the door of the study opened, and Liu Changqi came out of the room.
I quickly stood up and saw a small piece of broken tile fall from the roof. Liu Changqi looked up and couldn’t see me clearly. He said to himself, “Where did the little wild cat come from?”
“Pussycat Dolls?”
“Princess?” He recognized my voice and walked quickly to the eaves. He held out his hands to me and made a gesture to meet me. “The roof is dangerous. Princess, come down quickly.”
Let me see the height. Either I die or his hand is broken. Doesn’t
he know there’s a ladder next to him? That’s what I worked so hard to move from the woodshed.
“The roof is dangerous, so come up and accompany me.”
As long as I don’t act like a demon, he will always listen to me, and I don’t know why.
Maybe it’s because I’m good-looking.
Lord Taifu climbed to the roof. He lost his temper for me again.
I gave him a hand, and he climbed up beside me and looked at me quietly.
“Lord Taifu, the night is dark and dewy. It’s really a little cold. How about a drink with me?”
I held up my two cans of wine and touched them in the air.
He looked embarrassed. “Princess, I might lose my temper after drinking. Last time I fell into the lake.”
Didn’t I push it?
Isn’t that because you want to do the following?
“Liu Chang-chi, don’t you remember what you did after drinking?”
I always thought he was guilty and ashamed to argue with me.
“I really don’t remember. The last time I finished drinking, I lost consciousness. When I woke up, I was lying in bed with a fever.” When he saw me looking at him with an awkward look, he quickly asked, “Did I do something offensive after drinking?”? If so, I am willing to make amends.
Yes, after drinking, you dragged me to the back of the rockery to catch crickets and tried to stuff them into my mouth. I got so excited that I tripped into the lake. I am serious and very serious.
I guess his face was red again, and although I couldn’t see it clearly, I could already feel his tightness.
“Unexpectedly, there is such a thing, I..”
“If you make amends to me, have another drink with me.”
Seeing that he hesitated, I told him, “Don’t worry, this is plum wine, and it’s not as strong as the wine in the palace.” Then
I poured myself a cup and took a sip. I turned my head and blew at him. “Do you smell like plums?” I asked.
“Sweet, very fragrant.” He was still thinking about it, but finally he agreed. “Then I would rather be respectful than obedient.”
I smiled and poured a cup for him. He took it and drank it. I could see his Adam’s apple rolling in the moonlight. I couldn’t help swallowing saliva.
Sure enough, it’s sweet! Is it good to drink?
“Delicious.” He nodded.
“Are you not dizzy at all?”
He nodded again.
I secretly replaced the plum wine with another jar of sake and poured him a glass. “Then have another glass.”
“Good.” He took it and drank it, but it didn’t taste right. “Why is it different from what it tasted like just now?”.
I pretended to be surprised and covered my mouth. “Oh, I accidentally took it by mistake!”
“Princess..”
It turned out that Liu Chang-chi needed to fall down and squint for a while before he could get up and “go crazy.”.
He was a head taller than me, and now he was leaning against my neck in a contorted manner.
The moon is getting brighter, and I’m sleepy.
I don’t know what time it was, but my head finally twisted in the middle of my neck, and then suddenly there was a sharp pain.
I couldn’t help hissing.
Liu Changqi, why do you bite people?
He looked up.
I waved my arm in front of him. “Where?”
My hand was clenched by him, and he pushed me into his arms. Even his voice was low: “Princess, I want to..”
“Do you want to commit the following offense?” He even spoke slowly when
he was drunk. He paused for a moment before nodding his head affirmatively: “You’re right!”.
“Liu Chang-chi, can you answer me a few questions first?”
He simply promised me, “OK.”
“Don’t you like reading most?”
“Yes.”
“Do you want to be a general like your father who fought on the battlefield to defend his country?”
“Yes.” Do
you only study because your father won’t let you practice martial arts? Is it because you think you’re too weak to practice martial arts?
Father, he doesn’t like it. I am not well.
I heaved a sigh of relief and continued to ask, “But you’re not happy, are you?”
He did not answer me. I felt his breath tremble slightly, and his chest rose and fell violently. Then he gave a trembling cry of grievance: “Yes.” When
I closed my eyes, my mind was full of Liu Changqi sitting in front of the table, carefully drawing his favorite appearance, repeatedly appreciating and fantasizing about his riding across the long street, and then returning to reality, carefully putting the painting away from being discovered, and from time to time taking it out again to add a few strokes.
It turns out that even a person like Liu Changqi, who looks like a sprezzatura, will hide regrets. A man who only holds pen and ink originally dreamed of being a general with a long gun.
I think of the prince, now fifteen years old, still running and jumping all day, swimming with the wild ducks in the Taiye Pool, and running with the little grey rabbits raised by the queen.
But when Liu Changqi was fifteen years old, he was preparing for the scientific examination.
He held me with his chin on my head.
I took another deep breath and asked him in a low voice, “Lord Taifu, do you like the princess?”
I clearly felt that at this moment his hand pressed me a little hard, probably because he was asked in his heart.
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva in a panic, and I stared at his bulging Adam’s apple, waiting nervously and expectantly for his answer.
He said, “I dare not.”
I thought about it and couldn’t think of a reason. When I wanted to ask him why, I found that he had fallen asleep with even breathing.
I slowly pushed him up and let him lean on the statue of the mythical beast beside him to make sure he didn’t fall down before I stood up and climbed down the ladder quietly.
Then he took a winter cloak from his room and climbed up and put it on him. Although the wind is slightly cool, but in the end it is also summer, so it should not be frozen.
I’ll let you sleep on the roof for one night. On
the second day, I deliberately stepped under Liu Changqi and rushed into his house in the morning, sending him a very sincere morning greeting: “Has Lord Taifu had breakfast yet?”
He was sitting at the dining table, holding the Yellow Emperor’s Canon of Internal Medicine I had prepared for him, waiting for the servant to deliver the meal.
I am very gratified.
When he saw me coming, he put down his book and stood up to salute. “I’m getting ready. If the princess doesn’t mind, I’ll have dinner with you.”
“Yes.”
Good-looking people are indeed pleasing to the eye even when they eat. I hold my cheek and watch him, waiting for him to finish his meal slowly. I grab his sleeve and deliberately act like a spoiled child: “Lord Taifu, I haven’t moved for a long time. I feel my bones are blunt. Why don’t you accompany me?”.
He took one look at the sleeve I had grabbed and asked doubtfully, “Didn’t the princess always use to be with the prince?” Without waiting for him to refuse,
I asked someone to pull out the sweaty BMW that I had raised in the Princess Mansion for many years.
I sensed the eagerness in Liu Changqi’s eyes when he saw the horse, so I took him by the wrist and led him to the horse. I grabbed the reins and the horse’s mane in front of him, and stepped on the stirrups to get ready to go up. Halfway up, I turned to Liu Changqi and said, “Give me a push!”
He obediently took my waist and lifted it up, and I easily mounted the horse and reached out to him.
He thought for a moment, gave me his hand, and sat down behind me.
I heard his voice behind my head: “Where does the princess want to take the minister?”
“Go to the ends of the earth.”
“Does the princess need a speech book with her ministers?”
I laughed twice and replied, “I’ll take you to the racecourse.”
I grabbed the reins with both hands, pinched the horse’s belly lightly, and the horse began to move.
“If you want to sit still, hold me tight.” Then
a pair of arms came from behind me and put their arms around my waist until his chest was on my back, and I heard him say, “I obey.” When the
horse jumped over the threshold, I saw Xiaohei standing aside and secretly wiping his tears.
It seems that I am not the only one who discovered Liu Changqi’s secret.
“Princess, there is a market ahead. Remember to slow down the horses.”
“Sister Huang!”
“Mrs. Fu?” When
the prince saw us, he seemed to be tongue-tied. “You didn’t come to the racecourse to check on my schoolwork, did you?”
Liu Changqi took the lead in getting off the horse and then reached out to help me down. After
I landed smoothly, he turned and bowed: “The prince has misunderstood me. I’m only here to accompany the princess today.”
After listening, the prince looked at us with a strange look and winked at me, just short of asking, “You two are really good.”.
“Yes, Taifu wanted to activate his muscles and bones today, so he specially asked me to bring him here to ride a horse and shoot an arrow.”
Liu Changqi did not refute my words, as if he had acquiesced.
The prince clapped his hands and said, “Go and get a horse for Taifu!”
Liu Changqi does not need me to teach him by hand as I imagined. His series of movements are flowing clouds and running water. Although he is not very skilled, he can also see the traces of practice. When
he was riding around the field, the prince asked me, “Sister Huang, did you capture Taifu?”
“Hsia Yun-chou, you’ve been hanging out every day these past few days. Haven’t you finished your studies at all?”
He shut up and gestured to me, “Shh.”
Liu Changqi’s horse was not fast, only the slight wind swept his hair, blew up his robe, and rarely saw the corners of his mouth on his face.
“Liu Changqi,” I shouted at him, “have you ever practiced? Nice ride!
He controlled the direction of the horse and walked up to me. He looked at me and said, “I tried to learn from my father, but unfortunately I fell off the horse and didn’t touch it again.”
It turned out that General Liu had taught him.
“Does the princess trust me?” He held out his hand to me and motioned me to go up.
“Of course.”
I took advantage of my strength to sit in his arms again and lean firmly on his chest.
But such a warm moment was too short, and a polo came straight at me in the air.
Liu Changqi reacted faster than I did. He pulled the reins to the right. The horse turned right. He covered the polo sideways. The
polo hit him in the back with a thud. Still
in shock, I turned worriedly to touch his back, but I couldn’t reach it at all.
“Liu Chang-chi, are you all right?”
“Don’t worry, Princess. I’m all right.”
I looked into his dark eyes with no sign of pain.
“Who is it?” The prince shouted angrily under the horse, “It’s not light or heavy to play polo!” A noble man came to the
other horse farm, followed by several servants: “Sorry, the servant had a heavy hand just now.”
“You again, Chi Tzu-hsiu?” The prince sounded surprised. “If you don’t stay at home, why are you always running here?” Liu Changqi and
I both dismounted, and I was relieved to see him walking smoothly.
I have to get even with that man. Who will pay if he breaks my Taifu?
The man looked about the same age as us, and when we walked over, he pretended to salute.
“Are you Xia Qingzhi, the eldest princess of the Great Xia Dynasty?”
I imitated his way and looked at him all over his body. I asked him, “Are you Qi Zixiu, the first prince of the Kingdom of Qi and Yi?”
“Exactly.”
Hearing the three words of Qi and Yi, Liu Changqi clenched his fist silently.
Qi Zixiu’s father forced General Liu Lao to death in the First World War of Xia and Qi, and brought his body back to the court. He was immediately made crown prince and has now become the emperor of Qi and Yi.
From the country’s point of view, the law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest, and the sacrifice of some people in the war are inevitable. But from the family’s point of view, Liu Changqi and Qi Zixiu have a blood feud.
I love Liu Chang-chi dearly, so I don’t like Qi Tzu-hsiu: “That’s all.”
“Even if you play polo thousands of miles away, it’s extremely insincere to apologize. Is this the style of Qi and Yi?”.
I had heard that this big prince was extremely arrogant, but this time he was not angry. He bowed his head respectfully and apologized: “What the princess said is very true. It was my subordinates who disturbed a few of them. Now I will deal with him.”
Then he pulled out his knife and plunged it into the chest of the man behind him.
Liu Changqi quickly stretched out his hand to cover my eyes and whispered in my ear, “Don’t look at the princess.”
I saw the man’s frightened eyes and the blood spraying from his chest, and then I heard the sound of him falling to the ground.
This Qi Zixiu is really a pervert.
Perhaps this scene is too familiar, my mind suddenly flashed the shadow of the mother and concubine. The
woman’s sharp cries and laughter exploded in my ears, and images of blood on the ground crept into my mind. I felt dizzy
and my eyes suddenly went black.
I can hardly remember what my mother looks like. When she was
pregnant with me, she liked to drink the soup stewed by the old hen. She said that she had been drinking chicken soup all the time. I was white and fat when I was born, and I looked like a very healthy child.
And then she died.
I don’t know whether the knife was stabbed by the emperor or by the mother herself.
I only vaguely remember the man looking down at my mother, the weak woman kneeling, after crying in despair, fell in a pool of blood.
“Light knowledge.”
I dimly saw a man sitting beside my bed in a bright yellow robe, and it was not Liu Changqi.
“Father?”
Bah, how can I see this old thief when I open my eyes! Only then did
I realize that I was sweating all over, and in my sleep, I dreamed of a scene I hadn’t dreamed of for many years.
Only the spirit was stimulated, the body was not a big problem, I crawled and sat up. “Long time no see,”
I laughed. “My father is getting older and older.”
“Ha ha!” The old man clapped his legs and laughed. “I haven’t seen you for a long time, but you still like to talk nonsense.”
I am obviously in a strange mood.
In recent years, I’ve been so busy with court affairs that I haven’t had time to come to see you, and you haven’t come to see me. In the blink of an eye, you’ve grown so big. He said, rubbing my head like an old father spoiling his daughter.
I am a daughter, usually learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the door does not go out, two doors do not step to wait to grow up and marry.
Even if I don’t want to live like this, there’s nothing I can touch in the court.
Unlike those princes, there were still some important things to discuss with the emperor, and they could not see each other for a few days.
And I have been avoiding him. When I was young, I had no ability. So what if he killed my mother and concubine? Can little girl kill the head of a country without any trace? Besides, he was my father, so it became a habit to avoid him. I really didn’t avoid him, so I pretended to say a few words with him, and all I said was the nonsense he said.
Later, at the time of the ceremony, he was invited to set up his own house and left the palace. He had not seen him for almost a year. He thought that the next time he saw him would be the fortieth birthday of the old emperor.
“Why is the father in..” I looked around carefully and found that this was the queen’s bedroom. I quickly changed the subject and said, “Why am I in the queen’s bedroom?”
Yunzhou brought you here. It’s closer to the racecourse. I heard you fainted, and I thought I’d come to see you.
The chi-yi emperors themselves were bloodthirsty and ruthless, and the sons they raised were no different. But I never thought that he would threaten you.
It seems that everyone thought I was frightened by Qi Zixiu. It was too humiliating. Obviously, I swaggered to get even with him.
“I’m relieved that you’re all right.”
“Thank you, Father, for your concern.”
He got up and tried to find something to say. Then he turned to me and asked, “I heard that you and Liu Taifu..” The relationship is very good.
I looked up at him, and it was difficult for the old emperor to gossip.
“If you like it, tell me,” he said with a charitable look and some hesitation. “You know I feel guilty about you.”
“Thanks to my father, I am more willing to make my own decisions, and I believe Lord Liu is the same.”
I could ask the old emperor to order me to marry Liu Changqi, but I want to hear him say he loves me first. He
said he didn’t dare to like it. He must have his reasons. I can’t force him.
“If that’s the case, I won’t pay much attention.” He sighed, “You can rest first.”
“Send your father to the emperor.”
The old emperor turned his back to the door, then turned around and said, “I know that you can not be so alienated from me.” When
the old emperor left, I relaxed my breath.
“Sister Huang!”! You’re awake.
The prince jumped in, followed by Liu Changqi. And Qi Zixiu.
“Master Taifu,” I called to him in surprise. “So you didn’t leave.”
“I can’t leave before the princess wakes up.”
I opened my hand to him and said, “Now you’re awake. Take me away.”
The prince coughed and said, “Not suitable for children, not suitable for children.”
“Hsia Yun-chou, if you’re really free, you can go to the princess’s mansion and feed my chickens.”
The prince kept silent, but Chi Tzu-hsiu, who was standing to one side, said with a smile, I’ve heard for a long time that the princess has a magnanimous style of doing things, which is different from ordinary women. When I saw him today, he was sure of it.
“If you don’t have time, you can go and dig up the excrement in the backyard of the palace.”
This time it was the prince’s turn to laugh. He covered his stomach and kept laughing. He had never seen Qi Zixiu still have the time to eat.
Chi Tzu-hsiu’s face cooled and his eyes darkened. “The princess really has a good mouth.”
Liu Changqi spoke for me: “Don’t forget, big prince, this is the Great Xia Dynasty. You are only here as an envoy of the State of Qi and the State of Yi. Please pay attention to your words and deeds.”
He picked me up, and I consciously put my arms around his neck. Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of Qi Zixiu’s cold face.
“How does the princess want to get back?”
“I want you to ride me!”
“All right, listen to the princess.”
“Did Taifu go to exercise today?”
“Listen to the princess, and I will go every day.”
Counting the days, it had been more than two months since I took him to the horse farm for the first time, and the weather was autumn.
“Is it?” I reached out and squeezed his arm, then nodded with relief. “Not bad, not bad. My arms are much stronger.”
“Thanks to the princess, I carefully studied the books she sent me. I took my medicine on time every day, ate every meal, went to bed early and got up early, and exercised. Now I feel much lighter and healthier.”
At the thought that Liu Changqi’s body was getting better and better, I was so happy that I boldly stretched out my hand to say goodbye to a wisp of hair for him.
He looked up at me, and I thought he would run away like he used to, and warn me that men and women are different, but he didn’t say anything.
“Liu Changqi.”
“Hmm?”
I got up and leaned in front of him and looked him straight in the eye.
According to the book, two people look at each other, and the one who smiles first loves each other most.
Liu Chang-chi was definitely not going to smile, but he took the lead in dodging his eyes and saying in a flustered tone, “Princess, I..”
I think I need to further develop with him!
When Xiaohei came over with chicken soup, I was rushing out of Liu Changqi’s room with an arrow.
He hurriedly dodged sideways, and the chicken soup almost spilled out. As I ran, I shouted at him, “Remember to let Taifu drink all the soup!”! Eat the meat! Eat the ginseng, too!
Xiaohei was so surprised that he turned around and saw his Taifu blushing. After
running out of the house, I quickly got into the carriage and frightened the dozing boy.
I sat down and patted my mouth. As Qi Zixiu said, I did have a good mouth. It was so
good that I couldn’t help sticking it on the face of Lord Taifu. The
beauty kissed, and I struggled with myself again. Does
he like me or not? He doesn’t think I’m a hooligan, does he? Will he be angry? Will he never talk to me again? Will he hate me? God, I really didn’t mean it!
The carriage was already moving, and my mind was still full of Liu Changqi’s stunned expression for a moment.
Suddenly, the carriage shook violently and I almost fell to the ground. It’s my fault that I
just did something bad and then I got into trouble.
I opened the curtain, and the carriage on the opposite side was carrying the symbol of Qi and Yi.
A pair of bony hands lifted the curtain and poked out Qi Zixiu’s head.
In the gap exposed by the curtain, I saw another man sitting inside. I could not see his whole body, only his boots with tiger and leopard gold silk looked familiar.
Strangely, not long after the curtain was lifted, the man put his feet away and hid behind the curtain, as if deliberately not to let me see him.
But before I could figure out who it was, Chi Tzu-hsiu opened his mouth and interrupted my thoughts: “What a coincidence, Princess!”
“Yes, retrograde loses money. Thank you.”
Sure enough, the road rules of the Xia Dynasty were much stricter than those of Qi and Yi.
Qi Zixiu got out of the carriage, shook his sleeves, and went straight to my carriage.
He pretended to salute again: “It was I who offended you. I have just booked a private room in Qingxianglou. I sincerely invite the princess to go with me and make amends to the princess.”
“I still think that losing money is the most realistic thing.”
“Compensation is natural. Inviting the princess is only my original intention.” He stared at me. “The princess is worried. Let the groom follow her.” With a wave of
his hand, two attendants came forward to hold the innocent and suffering groom.
I was choked and didn’t reply to him in time. He reached out his hand and took hold of my wrist. He raised his eyebrows and looked at me with cold eyes. “Princess,” he said flatly, “it’s better to be obedient.”
But his hand holding my wrist was secretly exerting itself, as if I would crush it if I didn’t agree.
I thought about it carefully, and I don’t think he dared to murder a princess with some status in the Xia Dynasty.
“All right, hospitality is hard to refuse. Go to my palace.” Smiling with satisfaction,
he pulled me out of the carriage and said, “Qingxianglou is not far away. I’ll walk with the princess.” After
sitting down, I waited for him to take the initiative.
He drank a glass of wine to himself, and a playful smile floated on his face, which made people’s hair stand on end.
“I heard that the mother of the princess was killed by the emperor, right?”
Come up and talk like that?
“The princess hates your father.”
“Do you also like to chat with street women?” I dissed him without hesitation.
“If I remember correctly, it will be your father’s birthday in two days.”
“It’s hard not to have a lot of people at a birthday party. At noon there are ministers, and in the evening there is a family banquet. It’s a lot of people. It’s a little difficult for ordinary people to poison the emperor, but for the princess, it’s an easy thing, isn’t it?”.
I stared at him in amazement at his directness.
“Princess, don’t look at me like that. I’m just trying to help you get revenge.” He pushed a small bottle in front of me. “If the princess puts it in the emperor’s wine, I will find someone to take the blame for you.” As
I stared at the bottle, a wave of anger crept up, and I slapped my hands hard on the table, and the bowls and chopsticks clanged. Qi Tzu-hsiu
! Why should you? With red eyes, I asked him, “You can kill the emperor of the Xia Dynasty if you want?”? Do you still come to tell me and draw me in? Do you treat me like a fool?
“Did you come and go freely in the Great Xia Dynasty because you were a victorious country in the war, because your father was ambitious and a country was dominant, or because no one dared to touch you?!”
I was so angry that my hands were shaking when I supported the table.
I hate the old emperor, but I’m not brainless. Although
the old emperor is ruthless, but the Xia Dynasty is also under his rule gradually strong, when the state of Qi and Yi as a victorious country, but did not continue to attack the city, because of fear of the strong military backing of the old emperor.
However, after the new emperor of Qi and Yi ascended the throne, his ambition was gradually revealed, and it seemed that he had the intention of annexing Kyushu at one stroke.
They are the country with the largest territory and the strongest national strength. The Great Xia Dynasty is the second, if you really want to be the master of the whole world, the Great Xia Dynasty is the first target of attack.
If the old emperor died at the moment, the prince was young and the foundation was unstable, who could control the government.
When the time comes, people will be in a panic and leaderless, which is the best time for Qi and Yi to annex the Xia Dynasty.
But he, Qi Zixiu, put the abacus on my head, which made my heart surge with blood and anger: “Qi Zixiu!”! If you regard me as a narrow-minded and selfish person, ignore the emperor of the Xia Dynasty and regard me as an ant, I advise you to go back to your country as soon as possible!
You must remember that I am a princess of the Great Xia Dynasty. I enjoy the royal treatment and accept the pious kneeling of the people. I will be responsible for them! Take what you call your children’s selfishness and go away! As
I held back, I was about to burst into tears again, and I restrained myself from letting only my physiological tears remain in my eyes.
Qi Zixiu smiled, and he held my face directly and unceremoniously to wipe away my tears. I tried to hide, but he clutched his hands more tightly, which made my cheeks ache.
“Don’t cry, Princess. I’ll be distressed, too.” So he looked at my face, which he had pinched, and was full of intoxication. He continued, “The princess is not as stupid as I thought.”. The bottle is empty. I was only joking with you.
He is really a madman. He is crazy beyond belief. The door of the
elegant room was kicked open by Liu Changqi.
He rushed in with anger, helped me pull Qi Zixiu’s hand away, and hugged me. I finally felt at ease when
I smelled his familiar smell, and his hand around me patted me soothingly to signal me not to be afraid. In
a trance, I thought I was having a nightmare during my lunch break in the Imperial College. He also patted me on the back and said, “Don’t be afraid, Princess.”
I collapsed in Liu Changqi’s arms, not knowing how he angrily rebuked Qi Zixiu, nor how he took me into the carriage. When
his cool fingers touched my cheek, I realized that my tears had fallen like a valve.
His eyes were filled with heartache, and I felt even more aggrieved. I buried my head in his arms, sniffed, and called to him, “Lord Taifu..”
“I am here.”
I rubbed my tears away with his clothes, and when I calmed down, I raised my head and looked him in the eye. I asked him, “How did you know I was here?”
“The princess had just left in a hurry and had left the jade tablet on her waist. When I sent someone to take it to the princess, I happened to see the princess colliding with Qi Tzu-hsiu’s carriage. I was afraid that the princess would be in danger, so I came.”
At this point, I stiffened. Didn’t I run in a hurry because I offended him.
I asked him carefully, “You don’t blame me?”
I pointed to his mouth and then to his face.
He smiled, somewhat feigning calmness, and said, “I will never blame the princess.”
“Really?” I narrowed my eyes.
I raised myself up and got very close to him, and the heat sprayed his face. “What about this?”
He dodged unconsciously, and I climbed on his shoulder and kissed him quickly at the corner of his mouth.
“Liu Changqi.” I took a deep breath, my heart beating, and finally I dared to ask him, “Do you like me or not?”
Perhaps my question was too direct. He just stared at me and did not speak. His eyes were ambiguous and his expression was tense.
After a while, he said, “Princess, I haven’t been in good health since I was a child.” When I was a child, I was diagnosed as having no more than 20 years to live.
Who said that! That’s definitely a quack!
“I haven’t made any great achievements either.”
“But you are the Number One Scholar.”
“Ordinary people should be in the sixth grade when they pass the first prize examination. I was appointed as a grand master only because of my father.”
I understood that his so-called fear was that he would die early, and he disliked that he had not done anything important.
He took my hand and said, “But since the princess has been very concerned about my body, I feel that what I have hesitated in my heart is nothing.”. In the past
, I only wanted to be a good teacher for the prince and live a good life for myself for 20 years. I didn’t dare and didn’t want to make the princess sad for me.
But every day the princess told me to use medicinal food, brought me tonic, and took me to exercise. Even the doctor who felt my pulse said that my pulse was becoming more stable and my complexion was getting better.
“I used to think that I couldn’t cure myself with medicine,” he said, calmly recounting his own thoughts. Finally, he said earnestly and in a low voice, “but I didn’t think that the princess was my medicine.”
I admit, I’m crazy at this moment.
I feel I can safely ask, “So, you like me?”
He shook his head loudly.
“Princess, I love you.”
He took my face in his hands and planted a kiss on my lips. When the curtain of the
carriage was blown by the wind, I saw Qi Zixiu’s carriage passing by.
The wind also blew up his curtain, and I saw his dangerous face, and the small half of his black and white head opposite him, which appeared from the window.
Something tells me this isn’t right.
“Lord Taifu, when Qi Zixiu came to the Great Xia Dynasty, were there any other envoys with him?”
“When he came to me, there were only a few attendants with him, and no one else.” Liu Changqi answered.
“Are there old men in his entourage who have grown white hair?”
Liu Chang-chi thought carefully and finally shook his head firmly: “I remember that his entourage were all young men with strong bodies.”
I suddenly remembered that the man’s boots were embroidered with gold patterns of tigers and leopards. If he had not been a rich and noble official in the court, he would never have embroidered such a metaphorical pattern on his boots, and deliberately hid when he saw me. There must be something wrong
with it.
“Is there a minister in the court who likes to embroider gold patterns on his boots?” I asked him again.
“Recently it’s really popular in the court to have an embroiderer or to have one’s wife embroider the desired pattern on the boots. Most of them are gold.”
Seeing that I was worried, Liu Chang-chi asked with concern, “Does the princess have something on her mind?”
I told him my suspicions.
Liu Chang-chi thought for a moment and said, “In the court, only Prime Minister Lu likes to embroider tiger and leopard patterns on his boots.”
“Does the princess suspect that Lu Xiang is having an affair with the state of Qi and Yi?”
It was him. I have seen him several times, but I only know that he loves money very much, but as an important official of the Xia Dynasty, appearing in the carriage of princes of other countries inevitably makes people suspicious.
“I do suspect that he has connections with foreign enemies, but I only saw him in Chi Tzu-hsiu’s carriage, and there is no evidence.”
“Don’t think too much, Princess.” Liu Changqi gently hugged me and comforted me. “I’ll tell the emperor for you. The emperor is always shrewd. I’m sure I can find out one or two.”
I also hugged his waist, buried my head on his shoulder, and finally felt a little more relaxed.
“Master Taifu, if you hug me and kiss me, you must marry me.”
“Well, I’ll pick a good day and go to the emperor to propose marriage.”
Two days later, the old emperor celebrated his birthday with his ministers, many of whom brought their wives and children to the palace.
I deliberately picked a position next to Liu Changqi, but the opposite is Qi Zixiu, strange bad luck. Sitting
next to him was Prime Minister Lu.
He was a well-looking man, wrapped in a red uniform, and still wearing the same pair of boots.
Liu Changqi followed my line of sight and said to me, “Don’t worry, Princess. I’ve already told the emperor. If he really has a problem, I’ll find out.”
I nodded to him, but out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of the man opposite looking at me.
When I turned my head, Qi Zixiu did not shy away from looking straight at me, but his eyes were cold. Prime Minister
Lu interrupted my eye confrontation with Qi Zixiu, and he got up from the banquet to propose a toast to the emperor.
At this time, I saw Qi Zixiu smirking and shaking the small bottle in his hand at me.
My mind bypassed all kinds of thoughts, if Qi Zixiu sent someone to poison quietly, it seems that the biggest suspect is Prime Minister Lu, can not find his head. The wine handed by
Lu Xiang was already in the hands of the old emperor, and I rushed to his side at the moment when he was about to drink it and knocked over the glass of wine.
Don’t drink! Poisonous!
When this series of actions were finished, I saw Qi Zixiu’s smile was deeper, and I was in a big panic.
Shit.
Careless.
Impulsive.
The princes were alarmed, singing and dancing also stopped, all looked at the high platform, the land phase has been kneeling on the ground shouting injustice. The personal eunuch who
tested the poison took out a silver needle and put it into the remaining liquid in the poured wine cup, and then released a poison test dog to lick the wine twice.
The needle did not turn black, the dog was all right, and he barked twice with great excitement.
The old emperor could see no emotion in his eyes. He burst out laughing. “Ha ha ha,” he said. “It was just a play between me and the princess to tease you. You were so scared.”
“Keep playing and keep dancing!” The old emperor waved his big hand and became lively again. Prime
Minister Lu also wiped his sweat in shock and retired with a smile.
I was relieved, saluted the old emperor, and left the banquet in a hurry to get some air.
Liu Changqi, as one of the important officials, could not come out for the time being.
I wandered around the palace alone first. I
walked unconsciously to the rockery, where I pushed Liu Changqi into the lake.
Now only when I think of Liu Changqi can I have a moment of peace in my heart.
I was so bored that I picked up a stone and hit the water. Suddenly, I don’t know who threw a huge stone into the water and splashed it on my face.
I wiped the water from my face and stepped back, bumping into a man.
It was Qi Zixiu, and he dared to follow him.
“Do you have that serious illness?” I couldn’t stand it and tried to kill him with my fist.
As a result, he caught me as soon as he swung out, and turned around and pressed me against the rockery.
“What did the princess say?”
“Just now you were deliberately shaking that bottle at dinner. Didn’t you have an ulterior motive?”
“The princess was wronged,” he said with a laugh. “I only shook her a few times, but I didn’t know the princess had such a big reaction.”
I did not know how to retort, and he held me in an extremely oppressive position, not lightly or heavily.
I couldn’t stand any man close to me except Liu Changqi, and there was a nausea in my heart. I bit his exposed arm hard, but he seemed not afraid of pain, until there was blood in his mouth, he did not move, did not say a word.
I let go of my mouth because it made my teeth hurt.
Dense beads of blood emerged from the teeth marks, but he was very excited, showing a ghostly smile.
“Why don’t the princess marry me?”
The tone is firm, and it doesn’t mean to ask me at all.
“You are really sick.” I cursed and pushed him.
Princess, I am the future crown prince of the Kingdom of Qi and Yi. You are the only princess of the Great Xia Dynasty. We are the best match in the world. What is Liu Changqi? If you marry me, I will have an imperial career for thousands of years. I will help the Great Xia Dynasty become more powerful, and I will make you the most noble woman in the world!
I looked at him in disbelief.
I don’t know when this man was thinking about me like this. It’s totally illogical.
“We’ll have to wait for you to ascend the throne. Does your father know how much you want him to die?”
“What are you doing to my sister?” The prince came out in time to stop Qi Zixiu from continuing to do evil.
The prince was born well and grew fast. He was already half a head taller than me. He was active and diligent, and his strength was much greater than mine. He easily pushed Qi Zixiu away and protected me behind him. Qi Tzu-hsiu
staggered back and stood firm. Then he slowly tidied up his clothes, ignoring the fact that the prince was staring at him. He said to me, “Please think about it.”
I ignored him and watched him go.
The prince stared at him warily, watched him go away, and then turned to shake my arm.
“Sister Huang, are you all right?”
I shook my head.
“It’s all right. That Chi Tzu-hsiu is really shameless.” The prince was indignant. “It’s obviously the Great Xia Dynasty, but you still have to let him bully you.” I couldn’t help laughing out loud as I
looked at the prince’s unfair appearance. I thumped his chest and joked, “Yes, we Xia Yunzhou have grown up and know how to protect the emperor’s elder sister.” When
the prince heard this, he patted his chest and said, “That’s not true. I want to be a real man of indomitable spirit. If I don’t protect you, who will?”
Let’s go back to the party together.
I sat next to Liu Chang-chi and asked him, “When will this party end? It’s really boring.” I just want to be alone with Liu Changqi.
Princess, don’t worry, it’s almost time. It’s just that just now the princess why..
Speaking of this, I was angry and told Liu Changqi that Qi Zixiu had just played tricks on me at the banquet, and his face sank.
“And then there’s..” I have some hesitation.
He looked at me and motioned for me to go on.
I just went out to breathe, and he followed me and pressed me behind the rockery, saying he wanted to be with me.. Heqin.
Liu Changqi suddenly frowned, and his eyes flashed a trace of hostility that had never appeared before.
I quickly hugged him. “But I only have you in my heart, Lord Taifu.”
“Princess,” he said firmly, “I will protect you.”
I responded with delight, “Mmm!”
It was not easy to wait until the end of the banquet and bid farewell to the old emperor.
It’s getting late.
I sneaked into Liu Changqi’s carriage while others were not paying attention. He was sitting quietly in the carriage. He was surprised to see me go in, so he made room for me.
Ever since Liu Changqi bared his heart to me, I have always wanted to be with him.
Taifu took me in his arms and put me together with him. “Princess, please come closer to me.” I
didn’t have to take the initiative. Liu Changqi had already buried me in his arms and asked me, “The autumn night is getting colder and colder. The princess should be a little cold, right?”? I help the princess to keep warm.
“Liu Chang-chi,” I said in a muffled voice in his arms, “I always thought you were a man with six pure roots who didn’t understand emotional appeal. So I was wrong about you. You’re very good at it, too. “I learned from the princess, too,”
he laughed. Not long after the
old emperor’s birthday, there was a big event in the court.
When Prime Minister Lu was jailed, the emperor was furious and ordered him to behead him at a later date. The men in the clan were slaves and the women were prostitutes.
At first, I thought it was true that he had connections with foreign enemies, but unexpectedly, his charge was embezzlement of millions of taels of gold, most of which came from the withholding of military provisions.
The old emperor had long been aware of the deficit in the treasury, and the troops guarding the border were often short of provisions. After checking for a long time, he finally found the head of Lu.
I’ve heard that Lu Xiang is greedy for money, but now I think it’s normal for him to end up like this, but I always feel that he’s missing a charge.
And the strange thing is, obviously less than a million two gold, but only in the empty wall of Lu Fu to search for a hundred thousand, the rest can not find a trace.
But at least it got rid of a great disaster.
When autumn was in full swing, the old emperor wanted to relax, so he held an autumn hunt and took all the strong young men with him, including Liu Changqi.
Then I have to join in the fun. I have seen a lot of tall buildings and pavilions in
Beijing, and it is rare to come to this forest with lush trees and green grass. More air will make people feel comfortable.
Of course, if Qi Zixiu does not appear, it will be even more comfortable.
When I came to the woods alone and rolled up my sleeves to catch the hare with my bare hands, he appeared behind me like a ghost and scared me to sit on the ground.
The princess is still so frightened.
I didn’t want to talk to him, and I was ready to get up, but he pulled me up first, and then held me in his arms. The approach of the
strange smell made me nervous and struggled very hard. Unexpectedly, Qi Zixiu looked weak, but his strength was strong enough.
“Go ahead,” I said succinctly. “Why?”
“Last time I told the princess..”
I heaved a deep sigh and said, “This princess has already promised her heart to Liu Taifu. You’d better find another lover.”. At most, which young lady do you like? This princess will go to make a match for you! Laughing to himself,
he said, “The princess is joking. I’ve only been a princess all my life. If the princess marries me..”
“Can’t you understand what people say?” I interrupted him and held out my right hand to reveal the jade ring on my finger. “See? A token of love!”
But he pulled my wrist directly and pinched it until it hurt me. He said sullenly, “Princess, take this off. I’ll give you a better one.”
*** you, what Liu Changqi gives is the best.
At that moment, an arrow flew past Qi Zixiu’s temples and shot into the tree behind him.
The arrow was so sharp and powerful that it bruised Qi Zixiu’s forehead, and the shaft shook a few times before it could be seen that it was half submerged in the tree.
I always feel that the arrow is a little angry.
I turned around and saw that not far away, it was the charming Lord Liu.
For the convenience of hunting, he took off his official clothes and robes, changed into neat casual clothes, and tied up his long hair, which made him look heroic. He held the bow in his
hand, and his eyes fell on Qi Zixiu’s face with a slight threat, and then on my hand.
Ah, this.. It’s a misunderstanding. Before
I could explain, he rode past, grabbed my waist with a big hand, and took me on the horse with a force. I sat on my side a little unsteadily, and could only hold his waist firmly with one hand.
I looked up and saw him looking down at Chi Tzu-hsiu, slightly gnashing his teeth: “Chi Tzu-hsiu, please respect yourself.”
It seems that Qi Zixiu is the only person who can make him call him by his first name rudely. After
that, before I could sit down, he controlled the horse to run, and I had to put my arms around him.
Fortunately, the horse did not run fast enough to knock me down, but Liu Changqi did not speak all the way.
I had an epiphany. Isn’t Lord Taifu jealous?
Liu Changqi took me all the way back to his tent, got off his horse first, and then carried me down.
I followed him into the tent. For the first time,
he kissed me in such a domineering way, which was different from his previous caution. This time, he let me cling to him tightly and hold my waist. I had to stand on tiptoe. It took him a long time to
let go. His eyes were moist. “Princess, you’re blushing.”
“So are you, Lord Taifu.”
Then he leaned over and bit my lower lip.
I felt a little bit of pain, and after calming my breath, I explained to him, “It was Qi Zi who had just repaired him.”
“I know.” He interrupted me and hugged me hard. “I just can’t bear to see the princess being touched by another man, especially a man who has shown his heart to the princess.”.
As soon as I saw her, I was so angry that I wanted to take the princess away and lock her firmly beside me, but I couldn’t bear to hurt her. Princess, shall I propose marriage tomorrow?
“Good.” Although Liu Changqi did not win the championship in
autumn hunting, he also achieved good results.
The old emperor was gratified to see that Liu Changqi had changed from a bookworm to a brave man, and his praise was endless.
When Liu Changqi knelt down to marry his only daughter, he laughed so hard that his beard trembled and the drummer cheered. He immediately issued an imperial edict that Liu Changqi and I should get married in the spring of next year, just in time to buy a dowry and a wedding dress. When I
received the imperial edict, I held Liu Changqi in my arms.
“We’re going to get married soon!”
“Yes.”
“Then we’ll have a son and a daughter.”
“Listen to the princess.”
“You are not allowed to take concubines!”
“Absolutely not.”
“Hey, hey, hey.” I read the contents of the imperial edict again and again, as if I had found a treasure.
Only in winter, the old emperor accidentally contracted a cold and fell ill, and this time he was a little seriously ill.
Then he summoned all his children to the palace, and it seemed that his time was really coming.
I saw him lying ill on the dragon bed, with white hair, half squinted eyes, and still hanging breath, and I remembered that this man was only forty years old. I
used to think that God punished him for doing too much evil when he was young, but when I realized that he was actually a good emperor these days, my heart was very complicated. Lying on the bed,
he held the prince’s hand and told him about his funeral: “I will leave my country to you.”. You boy, give me a good guard, I taught you to remember all the things, don’t let the old guy of Qi and Yi be scared to wilt and dare not live. In the future, thousands upon thousands of people of the Great Xia Dynasty will depend on you.
The prince wept and nodded. “Yes, I’ll take the order.”
The old emperor looked at his favorite son, then at me, and beckoned me over: “You know, although you usually like to climb over walls and trees without learning, you seem to only know how to have fun, and your style is abnormal, and you don’t stick to one pattern.”
All right, all right, shut up!
But! I know you care about the country, and you’re smart. You should help the prince more in the future. Then he felt something was wrong, and added, “Of course, I’m not asking you to rule from behind a screen. These days, women are more bound, and they can live a comfortable life.”
“I miss you.” I’d be better off if
you didn’t kill my mother.
When I die, don’t be so filial. Three years is too long. Let’s marry Liu Changqi at the beginning of spring. I know you’re happy with him. You’ve grown so big that I only really smile when I see you around him.
The old emperor is really wordy, and if he goes on, I will be incontinent again. When the death knell of the
emperor sounded, the palace knelt on the ground outside the palace, and the officials and the people all wept, just as when the news of General Liu’s death came from the army.
Six years ago, a good general died in Daxia Dynasty.
Six years later, a good emperor died in the Great Xia Dynasty. The old friends who are separated from each other
forever are finally going to meet. It has been eleven years
since my mother died.
I looked at the setting sun on the horizon like blood, thinking in my heart, if the soul can meet, the old emperor, you have to make amends to my mother and concubine. After the
funeral ceremony, the prince ascended the throne and became a little emperor. I became a long princess, and I seldom saw him at the racecourse. Teenagers who
used to be active now watch supervisors and generals quarrel in the morning, read memorials in the evening, and then look at the portraits of their daughters sent by the old ministers. It was
so monotonous that I was afraid that he would be depressed, so I sent some little hens to the palace to accompany him.
But I heard that several little hens jointly tore up one of his memorials and then stewed it, and the little emperor did not forget to send me a cup of soup. The soup cooked by the chef
Imperial Kitchen is fresh and sweet, and the taste is really good.
Liu Changqi’s body is also getting better very quickly.
Now, I am waiting for the spring to marry him.
This should have been the best ending.
