Chapter 86 return
In Zhao’s mansion, someone had already sent the news of King Xiao’s arrival, but I don’t know when, A Shu didn’t go to greet him in person, but it was rare to have concerns and expectations.
About once a woman is pregnant, she should be more sensitive and sad. For example, recently, she has been staring at her slightly bulging belly, and her mind has flashed a lot of fragments, not only the events in front of her, but also the occasional scene of being cherished by her father and brother when she was a teenager, and even occasionally remembered that it was left to Feng Ni to stay in the letter. Bro and Adai, who were raising them, also shed tears in worry.
Deng Wan advised her that if she really cared about it, she would write more letters to greet her, and bring some things to make her feel at ease. Everything in the horizontal and vertical letter palace was controlled by Feng Yu, and it would not be a big problem.
After several times of persuasion, her sadness gradually faded, and the maids deliberately joked and joked, so she returned to her usual liveliness, and often played with pitching pots and Liubo.
It was about last year that Liu Yu personally directed him, and he practiced for two days. He actually played on a par with Deng Wan, causing Deng Wan to be surprised: “Why haven’t you seen him for a year, it seems like a different person, teach me to look at it with admiration!”
Ah Shu didn’t speak, but Bai Shengsheng’s face was full of blush, and even the corners of his lips couldn’t help but curl up.
Deng Wan’s eyes rolled, she immediately reacted, and she tapped the tip of her red nose and said, “Did you go back to learn art secretly from the king?” Seeing how she couldn’t hide her smile, she felt amused, so she pinched her waist and said, “Then If you don’t play the pot, you will still come to Liubo!”
Then even a maid brought the chess chopsticks and the couch and set them up in the shade of a shady tree, so that the two of them played chess with chopsticks and drank physalis to cool off the heat.
Deng Wan used to be a little better at playing, but now A Shu is pregnant, her thoughts are slow, and she has other things on her mind, so naturally she has the upper hand. Khan’s charming appearance can’t help but hurriedly said: “How? Do you have to admit defeat? You have never been able to play against me in Liubo.”
Ah Shu occasionally became stubborn, and pouted her lips in disbelief: “A-sister-in-law often has Brother-in-law’s help on weekdays, so she has won me many times. Today, Brother-in-law is away, and the outcome is still unknown.”
Unexpectedly, when her voice fell, Zhao You suddenly appeared, walked to Deng Wan’s side, took a step for her, and said with a smile, “Who said I wasn’t there?”
Ashu immediately stared at Zhao You and said dissatisfiedly: “Why did my brother come suddenly? It clearly said that he was going to the farm today—” Before she could finish her words, she suddenly seemed to have a feeling, and hurriedly looked sideways at the courtyard gate, and she saw that Standing there was a familiar figure, tall and straight, dressed in silver armor, with a dusty face, it was Liu Yu who had suddenly returned.
She blinked at a loss, and then turned to look at her brother and sister-in-law who had been resting, before calling Liu Yu “husband”.
Liu Yu came back with Zhao You at first, but when he walked to the courtyard gate, he saw A Shu with a vivid expression on his face, but he stopped unknowingly and only watched from a distance.
Hearing Ah Shu’s call at this moment, he couldn’t help but feel his heart softened, put on a warm smile, stepped inside, sat down beside her without saying a word, took the initiative to take the chess stick from her hand, first glanced at the situation, and felt in his heart. After a few counts, he played chess with chopsticks, calmly and without hesitation.
When he was done, he naturally reached out and rubbed the top of Ah Shu’s hair, and said softly, “Don’t worry, I’ll do it for you.”
Deng Wan turned her gaze on the two of them and said, “It’s fair now, Ah Shu also has the king to help.” After that, she poured a cup of cool and refreshing physalis and handed it to Zhao You, “Husband can decide. Win this game for me.”
Ashu watched her movements, and was busy looking for the pot and cup. She wanted to pour a cup for Liu Yu, but before she stretched out her hand, she saw that Liu Yu had already taken her previous cup, filled it for her, and handed it to her. Come: “You drink some.”
He vaguely remembered what the doctor said last time, after two or three months, he should be addicted to sweet, sour or spicy things. When she saw her holding the cup and taking a sip, her brows unconsciously raised a satisfied arc, she felt relieved, took time out to take a look at the chess game, and then took another step. When she turned around, her eyes fell on her slightly pregnant belly again.
In this way, a game of chess is played from A Shu and Deng Wan to Liu Yu and Zhao You.
Liu Xiu’s face seemed calm, but in fact he was a little absent-minded. But Rao is like this, there is no hesitation in throwing chopsticks and playing chess, and within a moment, he has won seven or eight.
Seeing that the situation was clear, Zhao You didn’t care, and immediately handed over his hands calmly: “Your Majesty’s skills are extraordinary, You Gan will be defeated.”
Deng Wan had asked Zhao You to win for her before, but at this moment, she was naturally very interested. The two only sat for a while before getting up and leaving.
When no one was around, Liu Xiu really looked sideways. He carefully looked at his wife, whom he hadn’t seen in months. From head to toe, even the ends of her hair had not fallen off. Seeing her living at home, her face turned rounder, and she felt relieved. .
A Shu blushed at his undisguised gaze, and she couldn’t help but stretch out her hand and nudge him: “Why do you look at me like this, husband?”
Liu Yu came from the bed, stretched out his arms and hugged her in his arms, walked quickly into the inner room, and said, “I just saw that your face is wider, and you are indeed heavier.” After that, he put her down carefully. , put a big palm on her waist, leaned over and kissed her lips, “The waist is not as thin as it used to be, so I might break it.”
He was well-intentioned, and wanted to hug her again, but when she saw her face full of shock, she pushed him away, stood aside, and looked down at her size carefully.
The pair of catkins that only grew two taels of flesh touched the waist up and down, as if it wasn’t enough, and ran to the bronze mirror again, making gestures up and down.
Liu Yu was a little puzzled, and when he walked slowly behind her, he could hear that she was frowning and muttering sadly, “Is it really so obvious? How can this be good?”
It was only then that he realized that she was worried about her body, not as light and slender as before.
In the past, she was only known for her natural beauty, which could make people fall without whitewashing. Now that I think about it, she also loves beauty on weekdays. After bathing, she has to apply facial oil and hair oil, and her hands have always been soft and creamy. The worried and annoyed look in front of him really made him look novel and moved.
He took two steps forward, put his arms around her waist from behind, took her into his arms, and comforted her softly, “It’s so good. I saw you walking in the wind before, and I always suspected that you would be blown away by the wind, but now it’s like this, more like my wife.”
But Ah Shu was at a time when her mind was sensitive. She looked at the two overlapping figures in the bronze mirror with her bright eyes. Suddenly her eyes turned red, and two strings of tears fell. Now. Why do you still use words to tease me?”
Liu Yu’s body froze, not knowing that she had suddenly become so sensitive, she was at a loss for a moment, and said in a daze, “I never lied to you, Ashu child, you look more beautiful than before.”
However, Ah Shu didn’t listen to his explanation, so she couldn’t stop crying.
Liu Yu remembered hearing from the medical worker that a woman is sensitive and changeable during pregnancy, which is true. He hurriedly went to find a towel to wipe her tears, and said patiently, “Look at me, every time I come back from the battlefield, I’m exhausted and my demeanor is completely lost?”
Ah Shu raised her eyes to look at him with red eyes, and saw that his chin was covered with green stubble, his eyes were dark blue, his skin was yellow, and his clothes were dusty, he nodded subconsciously, stayed for a while, and then shook his head in denial: “Why? I’ll lose all my grace…”
Although she was sad for a while, she still knew how to keep her balance and dared not seriously say that he looked unsightly.
Liu Xiu held back his smile, leaned closer and continued, “But after I have been groomed and rested for two days, will I return to my normal appearance?”
Ashu blinked and nodded, and gradually stopped her tears.
Liu Xiu turned her around to face him, no longer looking at the bronze mirror, and hugged her and said, “You are the same, but you are still pregnant, you are still in good shape, and when you are born, you will return to your previous appearance. ”
Ashu leaned in his arms submissively, and doubted her faith: “But I see that there are many women who can’t get back to the way they were before. If I can’t go back, isn’t it beautiful at all?”
Liu Yu laughed, and tightened his arms around her, saying: “Don’t worry, I can’t go back to the past, I am also my child.” After that, he raised his head and sighed, “I am going to grow old, I am also More than ten years older than you, I must be getting older faster than you.”
He pressed her head against his chest, and when he spoke, his chest trembled: “I’m so sloppy, do you despise me?”
As Shu Fang was about to open his mouth, he suddenly smelled a slightly sour odor in his nose. His stomach felt uncomfortable for a while. Seeing that he was about to vomit, he hurriedly pushed him away. .
Seeing that there was something wrong with her, Liu Yu didn’t know the situation, so she rushed over to ask, but she pushed her away.
Seeing that she ran to the side and vomited in the prepared copper bowl, after ordering the maid to leave, she rinsed her mouth again, sat down for a while, and then followed again, saying, “Why did you vomit all of a sudden?”
Ah Shu’s face turned pale, and after drinking two sips of hot tea, Fang glanced at him shyly, and whispered, “I’ve been so bad lately that I often vomit. Husband… why don’t you take a shower first…”
Liu Xiu was still worried about her, and when she took two steps closer, she suddenly reacted, lowered her head and sniffed, and suddenly felt the peculiar smell. She couldn’t help but stop.
Because he was on the road, his clothes were dirty and not very clean. In the scorching summer, just now, he carried her into the house again, and he was already sweating with such a slight movement. No wonder she was about to vomit. He was embarrassed by the smell.
He coughed lightly, nodded solemnly and said, “It’s time to take a shower.” After that, he turned to the bathroom with a sullen face.
At night, the interior of the house is slightly cooler. However, Ashu was still hot, and she ordered her maid to put ice around the house to feel refreshed.
Liu Xiu hadn’t touched her body for several months, so he couldn’t help but move slightly. Fortunately, keeping in mind the proportions, one or two of them were dissolved in the bath room.
When Ah Shu looked in his eyes, she felt a little pitiful, so she understood him and didn’t dare to act rashly.
However, Liu Xiu seemed to be unable to get along with himself, and still wanted to reach out to hug her, gently stroked her abdomen, and said softly: “Chang’an, Geng Yun is already ready to go, and tomorrow I will order people all over the world. I will send troops to the west in about three or two days, I am afraid that I will not be able to accompany you to reply to your letter.”
Ah Shu was still feeling hot, sweating profusely from her chest, but she didn’t push him, she just fell into his arms, nodding softly: “Okay, husband, just go.”
Liu Xiu bowed his head and kissed the tip of her nose, watching her expression carefully. Seeing that there was no dissatisfaction, he breathed a sigh of relief, but turned to a little melancholy. After nearly three years of marriage, she still didn’t understand, and never had the slightest reluctance to part with him.
But now that she is pregnant, he must not have an attack because of unpleasantness in his heart, so he has to endure it.
But Ah Shu still saw it, and remembered Deng Wan’s advice earlier, he hesitated for a while, then Fang Angui leaned closer to his ear and said in a low voice, “I just hope that your husband will come back soon, I… When I was at home, I often missed my husband… ”
Her tone became lighter and lower, and her face became redder, but she gave Liu Xiu a shock.
His heart trembled and he was angry, he restrained his tumultuous thoughts, kissed her carefully, and let go reluctantly, and went into the bath room.
