Chang Anqing

Chapter 30
Early the next morning, Li Sui got up, and the jade slave who was on duty at night immediately went out to call for someone to serve. The next moment, Gong E was seen swarming in, with the red-gold cleansing basin decorated with lotus flowers on the bottom of the basin in front of Li Sui. , the basin is filled with wash water mixed with jasmine juice, and then mashed with Gansong, Shannai, Xiangmo, Baijie, Angelica, Fangfeng, Artemisia, Basilisk, White Aconite, Trichosandra, tonka, and mung bean powder. After using the fine cleansing fragrance, the girl's skin is even more like jade and porcelain, but it is like a broken egg, soft and delicate, and there is still a faint fragrance.

Li Sui was sitting in front of the dressing table, and Niannu held a simple girl's bun for him, and it was decorated with the bright red begonia that opened today, and only a red sapphire spider-shaped gold hairpin was slanted on the temple. , the red tourmaline pendant by the ear complements each other perfectly.After finishing the make-up, Niannu seemed to think of something again, and lightly decorated Li Sui's eyebrows with a pink and white Qionghua flower tin, and then said with a smile: "In a few days for the Qiqiao Festival, using this spider-shaped hairpin is just right. Seek a good omen for the county lord."

When Li Suifang went out, he saw Baoying who was wearing new makeup just about to come in. When he looked at Li Sui, his eyes flashed with surprise. He smiled and pulled Li Sui's hand forward, looking at it carefully. The upper body is a goose-yellow half-armed narrow-sleeved short-sleeved skirt with white viburnums, and the lower body is a red-dominated skirt with light-yellow finely folded flowers. At first glance, I feel that the girl's tall figure is more slender, and with a wrist The water-red silk on the top is the finishing touch.

"It's rare to see you wearing such a color, and I can't even look away when I see it."

Li Sui smiled when he heard the words, looked at Baoying playfully and said, "Now you will make fun of me too."

Seeing Li Sui holding her hand, Baoying shook it cordially, and said as she walked, "I'm talking about being serious, you used to wear dignified and unique clothes, and you looked like a goddess in the sky, although beautiful but tall It's unattainable, today's outfit has added a little daughter's cuteness, but it seems to be the beginning of the world."

After hearing this, if the little lady beside her was already blushing and didn't know how to respond, Li Sui didn't feel anything, she just smiled and twisted Baoying's smooth cheeks and said, "Look, I don’t know where it came from, but if Hongnong’s aunt and the others heard about it, they would have to ask—”

While speaking, Li Sui paused when she saw Baoying's smile that was condensed in her eyes. Although it was stagnant for a moment, it returned to normal, but she had already told Li Sui to notice something, and then looked at Hui Rong, who was standing beside her. , There seemed to be some inexplicable strangeness in the eyes looking at Baoying at the moment.

"Okay, let's go to my sister's place to say goodbye and go back to the house, and wait until the sun shines later, it will be easy to pass the heat."

Li Sui pressed down the doubts in his heart, and still smiled and pulled Baoying forward, so that he could turn this article over.

After the two sisters bid farewell to Empress Yang, the sun gradually climbed up. The dazzling golden light fell on the eaves on both sides of the corridor. The shadow of the beast was printed on the floor tiles. It took a stick of incense to walk to Xuanwu Gate. When the carriage was about to pass through the city gate, Li Sui, who was sitting in it, heard the sound of horse hooves from far to near. Slow down, this time I am afraid that I will just stagger with their carriage.

Baoying seemed to be curious, she stretched out her hand to open the car curtain a little bit, and when she saw the people outside, her eyes moved first, and the next moment she turned her head to look at her, with a very low sigh on her lips: "This is A general is so young, if it weren't for this uniform, he would look like a champion."

It's rare to see Baoying who doesn't like to comment like this, Li Sui became a little curious when she heard it, and then she glanced at Baoying in front of her narrowly, and deliberately joked: "We have always been open in Dazhou, and every time the list is released, we will It's a good time for each family to ask for a son-in-law, if you want to see it openly, if you really like it, you might as well come to the city and ask for a son-in-law, isn't it a romantic talk-"

Baoying's face turned red when she heard the sound, and she felt embarrassed. At this moment, she just stared at Li Sui in a hurry, and then glanced at the soft curtain, which seemed to keep her silent.

Li Sui saw that the girl in front of her was like a cramped bunny, her cheeks were like red fruits, and her heart was even more excited, so she lifted the soft curtain with the fan in her hand, but she wanted to see what Baoying praised her. what character.

I saw that the Xiangfei bamboo, snow, turquoise, jade-colored Qionghua embroidered fan that Baoying had given to her opened the thin soft curtain, and the high-hanging summer golden light suddenly shot in, sparkling on the window edge of the carriage. Golden light, and in that golden light, a young man sits high on a horse, wearing a deep purple robe that can be matched by a vassal king. , and the long sword attached to the saddle is simple and simple, not like the man in the capital decorated with many jewels, but only decorated with a plain white tassel. cold front.

At this moment, even Li Sui was stunned for some reason. The dazzling light in front of him seemed to create a gorgeous and solemn halo around the man's body. Hearing the curtain lift, he followed the sound and looked over, seeing a slight pause in Li Sui's eyes, then the thin lips moved.

"Sir, long time no see."

The man's quiet and heavy voice sounded in his ears, and Li Sui only remembered it. He felt that if he was restrained and cramped at this moment, he would appear guilty. It would be better to open the soft curtain and smile gracefully: "King Yuling, is this to be holy?"

Seeing Li Sui taking the initiative to ask questions, Zhao Yi's lips curved slightly, and he nodded, "The Western Regions Gaochang and Turks have been in frequent exchanges recently, and there seems to be a change. His Majesty called me into the palace today to discuss this matter."

"So, King Yuling is going to return to the Western Regions this time?"

"Exactly."

Li Sui nodded when he heard the words, and said casually: "Seeing that the Qiqiao Festival is approaching, it can be regarded as a major event in Chang'an. It is rare for King Yuling to return to Chang'an, and I am afraid that he will not be able to see him."

Zhao Yi's brows moved slightly when he heard the sound, and his gaze towards the girl seemed to be a little more scrutinized.

"Thank you, the princess for reminding me."

I saw Zhao Yi looking at the girl in front of him seriously, and the next moment he replied: "This time, I will beg your Majesty to see if I can stay for a few days, and I will live up to the grand sight of Chang'an that is coming in the mouth of the county master."

After that, Zhao Yi held the whip and bowed to Li Sui: "The emperor's order is on his body, so let's leave first."

Seeing this, Li Sui no longer exchanged greetings, smiled and nodded and said, "King Yuling, go slow."

As soon as the voice fell, the man let out a light snort, and the horse under his crotch had already galloped away, only a gust of wind blew the soft curtain down again.

"So he is the King Yuling who is authorized to ride horses and swords in the palace?"

Hearing Baoying's surprised voice, Li Sui turned around, nodded with a smile, and then pouted at the curtain of the car: "How, is it worthy of your son-in-law?"

Baoying seemed to be accustomed to Li Sui being so joking, but she no longer blushed, she just smiled and asked: "King Yuling is so talented and proud, I feel ashamed that I don't deserve it, but you—"

While talking, Baoying looked at Li Sui and said, "I heard that King Yuling rarely entered Chang'an once, and you don't see much of each other, but today it seems like old friends and acquaintances, and there are probably many of them. The stories I don’t know, these are things that those miscellaneous books can’t read, when will you tell me about them?”

Since she mentioned Hongnong Yang's family just now, Baoying has been silent for some indescribable silence. Seeing her joking with her with bright eyes, Li Sui couldn't help but feel relieved, and followed her words: "You don't need to choose the time. Come and share the bed with me tonight, let's talk about how to do it at night."

During the conversation, the carriage was already moving forward leisurely again. Although Li Sui smiled, she couldn't help but think about it. She and Baoying just said what she said to her son-in-law in the city. I wonder if Zhao Yi could hear it or not.

But looking at his indifferent appearance just now, he must have never been behind the curtain, right?
Speaking of which, who was the princess of Zhao Yi's previous life?

Li Sui thought about it in every possible way, but she couldn't think of it. She didn't know whether it was because she had not paid attention to him in her previous life, or because his princess was not a prominent family.

After returning to the Taiwei's mansion, Li Sui and Baoying met with Li and the others before returning to their respective courtyards to rest without further mentioning.

At nightfall, the night wind outside the window accompanied by the fragrance of flowers gently blowing in, Yang Hongying holding a wolf hair in her right hand was carefully copying something. When she stopped writing, she saw that she put the pen down and gently lifted the page. The elegant font without losing the character, Yang Hongying raised the corners of her lips in satisfaction, and then asked, "How about you guys?"

Qiu Lan and Qiu Zhi both looked over, and the next moment Qiu Zhi couldn't help but exclaim: "The lady copied it is exactly the same."

When Yang Hongying heard this, she smiled, and that's fine.

The next moment, the girl's fingertips easily picked up the piece of paper and handed it to the candle. Seeing that the flames immediately caught the paper and burned it clean.
