Chapter 105 Silk Painting (2)
After the marriage, Liu Zhao completely moved out of the Nangong Palace, as well as the Princess Mansion and the Gushi Marquis Mansion. It was about newly married Yan’er, and the husband and wife were inseparable. In the past month, she has rarely come to Nangong.
Ah Shu was used to being with her on weekdays, but now she is suddenly missing someone and feels a little uncomfortable.
In July, it is the time when the sun is like fire and the heat is unbearable.
That evening, A Shu ordered someone to move a low couch, a desk, and ink, and sat with the three children in the shade under the porch to enjoy the shade.
Adai is now seven years old, and has the mind of loving Jiao to be pretty. Today, she cut a new dress and put it on her body. At this moment, she is sitting obediently on the couch next to her, smiling slightly and being replaced by Ashu in three or two strokes. She drew a small portrait.
The little girl’s face was pink and fair, and the baby’s fat from the past had lost half of it, showing a green onion that was about to be shrunk.
With just a few strokes, Ah Shu drew soft lines on the pure white silk. After a while, the familiar sweet outline became clear. When she finally drew the delicate flowers in the girl’s hand, she put down the brush and said, “Okay.”
Adai was busy staying on the couch and trotting close, Qingque also crawled closer from the other end of the low couch with both hands and feet, and sat beside her mother and stretched her neck to look at the paintings on the desk.
Po Nu followed behind Qing Que, always guarding him carefully, not teaching him to fall off the bed, seeing how he was struggling to stretch his neck, he hurriedly stretched out his arms to pick him up.
Xiao Qingque was talking vaguely, and felt the help of her brother. She clapped her little hand and kicked her calf to call the painting “beautiful”, and then turned around with all her might, smiling at Po Sau with a small dough-like face. “Hello, brother.”
Just as Adai held up the two corners of the silk painting and pouted to dry the ink on it, Liu Xiu came back on the sunset.
He hadn’t changed his robe yet. When he saw the three children, he first stepped forward with a smile, lowered his head and touched Adai’s head, coaxing, “Adai is getting bigger and taller.”
When the little blue bird on the couch saw his father, he hurriedly stretched out his short, round little hand again, giggling while touching his palm: “Father! Come, come!”
Liu Yu looked at his son’s bright eyes like his mother’s, and felt that his heart was about to melt. He leaned down and hugged him, kissed his pink cheek, and then sat down next to A Shu. .
Po Nu hurriedly got up from the couch and bowed to Liu Yu.
Liu Yu put his arms around Qingque with one hand and lifted Po Nu with the other, and said, “Po Nu is too big. Today, I often tell you that you are diligent and hardworking, and you have gradually learned the righteousness of the “Shangshu”, which is very good.”
Po Nu’s awe-inspiring little face showed a shy smile, bowed his head and said, “It’s too often to teach well.”
Qing Que followed his father and clapped his hands in agreement: “Brother, good!”
Everyone couldn’t help but laugh.
Ashu hugged Adai to her side again, looked at Po Nu and said, “Po Nu, you just said back, you want to dance the newly learned swordsmanship for us. Now that my uncle is here, why not try it?”
Po Nuben’s shy face became more and more red, but his expression was very solemn. When he met Ah Shu’s gentle and encouraging gaze, he nodded vigorously, took the wooden knife, stood on the side of the wide road, lowered his head and said, “Please Uncle points.”
After saying that, he picked up the wooden knife and waved it meticulously.
The other four watched intently, and when they danced to the point, Liu Xiu said “Okay” without hesitation, and Qingque and Adai also quickly clapped their hands and praised.
After a long while, after the Po-Slave dance, he was already hot, his cheeks were flushed, and his body was covered in sweat. He didn’t wipe it, but stared at Liu Xiong with a pair of longing eyes, as if looking forward to his praise.
Liu Yu did not hesitate to appreciate it, and laughed loudly: “Very good, neat and vivid, at your age, the strength is also excellent, given time, you will definitely be able to make great achievements.”
Po Nu’s eyes lit up, they all looked satisfied and proud, and cupped their hands: “Thank you uncle.”
Ah Shu hurriedly waved at him, made him sit beside him, took a handkerchief and wiped off the hot sweat from his forehead, and filled him with physalis to relieve the heat.
The family sat outside for a while, and after the feeding was done, the three children went back separately, leaving A Shu and Liu Yu together.
The sun has set, the darkness is approaching, it is dusk.
Ashu got up from the couch, entangled Liu Yu’s fingers with ten fingers, and was about to take a walk in the rest of the palace as usual, but was pulled by him.
In the hazy darkness, he suddenly showed a mysterious smile, dragged her hand and turned to the Xuande Hall on the side: “I have prepared a dress for you, go and put it on.”
Ashu raised her eyes and asked curiously, “Why did you think of preparing a dress for me?”
The matter of wearing, from daily clothes to the dress of the empress, has always been handled by her wife, but I was surprised to hear that he had prepared clothes today.
Liu Yu smiled but did not say a word. Not only did he lead her into the Xuande Hall, but he also took out a piece of soft silk and walked behind her, covering her eyes and tying them tightly.
A Shu’s eyes suddenly became hazy, and she couldn’t help but feel awkward and called out “husband” uneasily.
Liu Yu put his hands on her shoulders and reassured: “Don’t panic, I will teach them to change your clothes, and I will also change. When everything is fine, I will take off the soft silk.”
Ah Shu was still a little nervous, but because she trusted him, she pursed her lips and nodded, and he led him to the handmaiden.
Ah Shu couldn’t see her eyes, she could only listen carefully to all the movements around her, passively led by the maids to stretch her arms, remove the clothes one by one, and put on layers of new clothes. She felt the soft and fragrant clothes that had just been smoked, and seemed to notice the complexity of the clothes, from the quju to the jade, from the socks to the wooden sandals, everything was available, even the bun was pulled up again, and a slightly heavier piece was inserted. Pearl green.
After some tossing, the servants on the side praised in unison: “The queen is much more beautiful than usual in this way, and the servants can’t take their eyes off.”
A Shu was still blindfolded, and she smiled when she heard the words: “I may not have worn such complicated clothes for a long time, not even the queen’s dresses on weekdays.” She smiled faintly and recalled, “About today Such complicated clothes were only a few years ago, when I got married in Chang’an.”
The maids looked at each other, pursed their lips and laughed silently.
A Shu was puzzled by the sudden silence, but heard very light footsteps, followed by Liu Yu’s familiar and somewhat hoarse voice, which seemed to contain strong emotions: “Child, you today Beautiful.”
After saying that, he reached out his hand to remove the soft silk that was blindfolded for her.
Ah Shu had already adapted to the hazy darkness, and when she saw the light, she couldn’t help squinting a little. After a while, Fang realized that the dusk had come, the darkness outside the house was completely shrouded, and candles were lit inside the house.
In front of him, Liu Xiong, tall and slender, with a warm face, looks like a modest gentleman, wearing a long crown of Liu’s family, and wearing a mysterious dress, which is exactly the same as what he wore on his wedding day in Chang’an a few years ago.
Ah Shu was in a trance for a moment, and hurriedly looked sideways at herself in the mirror. The black-colored robes, the Luo socks clogs, the large jade jue, and Gao Yunwang’s fairy bun, were actually exactly the same as the original dress.
“Husband, what is this for?”
Liu Xiu’s eyes were fixed on her body. Hearing the words, he took a step back and reached out to her with a happy and gentle smile: “Today, I’m here to welcome the bride.”
The warm and jade-like face in front of him gradually overlapped with the youth of that day in Chang’an a few years ago.
Ah Shu’s eyes gradually turned red, but the dimples on her lips deepened.
She put her hand in his warm upward facing palm, and whispered with tears in her eyes, “Husband, Ah Shu is here.”
The eyes of the two were intertwined, and they became more and more lingering and warm in the dim candlelight, which made the servants who were accompanying in the house a little moved.
Outside the hall, a light float has been parked under the steps.
The two walked out of the door together, boarded the float together, and went to Changqiu Palace.
Along the way, palace lanterns were lit everywhere, accompanied by the sound of frogs and cicadas, led by the palace servants, as if back to that day in Chang’an, A Shu was a bride and left with Liu Yu.
It’s just that on that day, the groom and the bride had different thoughts, and neither looked forward to this marriage. But today, it is two people who have the same heart, love and harmony, and enviable couples, who have gone back on this road to get married again.
Outside the Changqiu Palace, there are not only the items used by the palace staff to display the wedding, but also several musicians playing sheng and drums, welcoming the two with smiles, and they began to shout blessings from afar.
A Shu endured the tears that were about to spill out of her eyes, and was supported by Liu Yu as she stepped off the float. Just like that day, she went through the lavatory bath, the opposite seat, the same prison, and the salutation. Finally, she tied her hair and drank a toast with everyone.
When the ceremony was completed, the two entered the house, surrounded by them, and then performed the ceremony of throwing the tent.
Liu Yu pulled A Shu to sit opposite each other on the bed, and sighed, “I didn’t do the tent ceremony that day, but now I have a green bird, I still have to look forward to enjoying more blessings for my descendants in the future.”
Ah Shu also looked at him, nodded and said, “Let’s live a hundred years, and our descendants will last forever.”
The surrounding palace servants scattered five-color concentric flowers and fruits in the distance, and the two people in the bed gathered up their skirts.
For a while, there were sounds of joy and laughter in the room, and after a long while, everyone packed up, smiled and exited, closing the door for the two of them.
The interior was quiet again.
Liu Xiu got up and went to Ashu’s side, took her into his arms with one hand, and held her firmly with the other, his throat gradually choked up, and said, “I didn’t treat you well enough for the previous wedding ceremony, but I’ll make it up for you today, it’s not lively enough. , I just hope you can be happy.”
The tears Ah Shu had endured for a long time finally fell one by one, disappearing in the black cloth. She reached out and stroked the soft fabric, and said in a deep nasal voice: “It’s hard to be a husband, and I also found this dress.”
Liu Yu lowered his head and kissed the tears on her cheek. He chuckled lightly, “Why is it so difficult? These clothes were clearly kept in Chang’an’s mansion, and I just ordered someone to fetch them. Beauty, I’m afraid I don’t have the size and posture of the year, and I don’t look good in clothes.”
Ah Shu leaned softly in his arms, raised her eyes when she heard the words, and carefully looked at him from beginning to end.
He was still handsome and gentle, with a face like jade, but if he got closer, he could see a few fine lines at the corners of his eyes by the candlelight, and a few strands of silver mixed in the tightly tied black hair.
After all, he is a person who has worked hard for many years. Even as an emperor, after the age of 30, he gradually shows some traces of time.
The tears that A Shu had just disappeared came back again, she pursed her lips and pretended to be dissatisfied: “What nonsense? How can you not look good, husband? You are the most beautiful man I have ever seen in my life.”
Liu Yan only felt that her charming and angered appearance was sweet in her heart, so she couldn’t help but leaned in and kissed her rosy lips, jokingly said, “Thank you, little boy, for teaching me to become the most beautiful little old man in the world.”
The two laughed and hugged together, rolled on the bed, their temples were scattered, tears and laughter blended together.
For a long time, Liu Yu held A Shu silently, as if suddenly remembered something, got up from the bed, walked to a box next to the wall, took out a small boxy wooden box, and gave it to A Shu.
Ashu looked at the familiar lacquer box, her eyes widened, and she wondered, “Why is this here?” As she spoke, her face flushed and her voice gradually lowered, “I clearly gave A Zhao a gift. …”
Liu Xiong couldn’t hide the smile on his lips, his eyebrows curved up: “Look carefully.”
A Shu held the wooden box and took a closer look, only to find that it was clearly brand new, not the one she gave A Zhao that day, it has been a few years.
Liu Yu took her hand and opened it together, but when he saw it, it was the same as the old wooden box before, filled with colorful silk paintings that made her jealous.
However, compared with her previous one, it was much more refined and richer, so she quickly looked away, closed the lid with a “click”, and dared not open it again.
“Where did my husband find this thing…”
Liu Yu didn’t force her, he took her into his arms, taught her to lean against her chest, kissed her cheeks, and said, “I saw that you gave that thing to Ah Zhao before, so I took advantage of my life to find it. This wedding dress was also found among the objects shipped from various palaces in Chang’an.”
The Chang’an Palace has gone through many generations, and there is no shortage of such things in the harem.
Ah Shu shyly squinted at him: “What are you looking for, husband? You have already learned everything that should be learned…”
Liu Yu’s smile became more narrow, and he kissed her ear directly, and said in a hoarse voice: “A gentleman should be humble and learn, how can that only be enough? We still have a lot to explore slowly.”
Ah Shu felt embarrassed and itchy, so she hurriedly avoided it, and scolded with a smile, “Husband is going to be a gentleman today? It’s obviously a fake on weekdays.”
Liu Xiu suddenly stopped, and turned her over to face him. She couldn’t help but smile because of her serious face, and just stared at him blankly.
“Child, I know that you really treat Ah Zhao as your own sister. I’m very relieved. But, have you ever thought about our daughter?”
Ah Shu blushed and said indifferently, “Where’s your daughter?”
Liu Xiu suddenly smiled and pressed her down, with gentle eyes: “It’s not there yet, but with that thing, let’s learn it slowly, and we can always learn a little princess.”
“Child, let’s have another princess who is as gentle and beautiful as you, okay?”
“it is good…”
