Chapter 593: Gentle Township is the Tomb of Heroes (Part 2)

It has been more than two years since Liu Yu met Sima Xuan'er and then to the meeting now. When he first met, Liu Yu had no fame and had not even married Xu Xuan. Until now, he has held great power and followed the government. When he thinks about it, he will feel a little sad.

What changed was his mood, what remained unchanged was Sima Xuan'er's grace and her pursuit of dance. Now, the two dance masters of Dashun Dynasty, Liu Liniang and Sima Xuan'er, have been left to his order. He really wanted to see the scene of two dancers competing for beauty on the stage.

"Xuan'er, sit." Liu Yu smiled and made a gesture of invitation. The wooden rack on one side was where the two sat and talked together many times.

This is the first time Liu Yu calls Sima Xuan'er "Xuan'er". Even if he was very polite in the past, Liu Yu always referred to "Miss Yulan" or "Miss Sima".

Sima Xuan'er nodded, followed Liu Yu. After Liu Yu sat down, she sat a little embarrassedly next to Liu Yu. She looked up and wanted to peek at Liu Yu, but she seemed to feel that it was too rude just now and dared not look up.

Seeing Sima Xuan'er's uneasy expression, how could Liu Yu, a smart person, not know her mentality?

It is true that Sima Xuan'er has a pursuit of dance, but she is also affectionate to him. The two have feelings since they first met. Later, in the imperial performance, Liu Yu got up to speak for Sima Xuan'er, and even exonerated Sima Xuan'er's father in front of the court officials.

Later, Sima Xuan'er accepted Liu Yu's "maintenance" and tactfully expressed her idea of ​​being willing to be Liu Yu's outer house. This was not easy for a lady from a official family and once proud. However, Liu Yu delayed Sima Xuan'er for two years and didn't even say a promise. During this period, he rarely came to see him, and occasionally he was like a stranger, and was neither cold nor indifferent to Sima Xuan'er.

A talented woman is passionate. Although Liu Yu felt that it was a grievance for Sima Xuan'er to marry her, being hugged by Sima Xuan'er just now made him feel reluctant to leave. It would be a pity for such a good girl to lose.

Liu Yu chatted with Sima Xuan'er for a few words, and Liu Yu asked about her life in Chang'an City. Sima Xuan'er answered one by one, and she was fluent in reply, but she didn't dare to look up. During the days when Liu Yu left Chang'an, Sima Xuan'er still practiced dance in the Song and Dance Teaching Shop, and also served as a part-time teacher, teaching some new girls' dance poses and dance music. However, after Su Yan ascended the throne, she was not interested in the dance music in Chang'an City. After Liu Yu became the leader, she ignored this, which also caused some talents in the Song and Dance Teaching Shop in Chang'an City to wither. Many dancers also switched to other careers, or were sold to brothels and Chu Pavilions. Almost all the good families found a husband to marry. Only Sima Xuan'er was still tireless. She continued her pursuit of dance in the Song and Dance Teaching Shop.

When talking about those married sisters, Sima Xuan'er's head lowered. She always gave Liu Yu the demeanor of a big lady, and in terms of spirit, she was even more arrogant than Li Zhe'er, who also came from a big family. Perhaps Sima Xuan'er wanted to support her family alone. She was very self-reliant in supporting her family. Therefore, she gave people a feeling of being unattainable.

"Prince, Zhe'er always mentions you. This time I'm back, but have you come to see her?" Sima Xuaner suddenly remembered and asked.

Liu Yu smiled ashamed and said, "I just returned to Chang'an City today, so I was busy doing things. I didn't have any spare time until the night. I wanted to go there, but I thought she had already fallen asleep, so it was inconvenient to disturb her. I'd better wait until tomorrow to visit her."

Sima Xuan'er complained a little: "It seems that the prince still doesn't understand the thoughts of her daughter's family. Her husband returns home for a long time and no matter how late he returns home, his wife's joy will dilute everything else. To be honest, the prince's thoughts are just to let Zhe'er endure the pain of being unable to sleep or eat."

Liu Yu sighed. In fact, Sima Xuan'er was telling the truth. If he had the will, no matter how late he went to Li Zhe'er, Li Zhe'er would have only joy. Li Zhe'er even hoped that he would go back soon.

"Go now..." Liu Yu suddenly smiled like a self-deprecatingly and didn't say anything more.

Sima Xuan'er's face was calm, but suddenly she had a cramped and playful smile and said, "Actually, the prince didn't want to see Zhe'er, but he didn't think about how to get along with her, right? He went to visit Zhe'er's sister at night. When he went in, he was afraid he couldn't get out."

Liu Yu smiled and looked at Sima Xuan'er. In fact, with her intelligence and wisdom, it is not difficult to analyze his mentality. After all, Liu Yu would not be polite to Cao Yi, Ling Xiu'er, or Zhaosu, because those women don't have to stay with her forever. But Li Zhe'er already had an engagement and marriage letter with him, and Li Zhe'er was already his official "concubine" and had filed a case in the government. That's why Liu Yu always felt that he could not treat her badly and wanted to marry her back to enjoy the joy of the fish and water with her.

But now his identity is different from before. Now he is the queen's husband. Although he is powerful, if he wants to marry a woman again, the court will definitely criticize him.

Under such circumstances, Liu Yu was in a dilemma. He neither wanted to treat Li Zheer badly, but he was even more treating her badly.

"Prince, Sister Zhe'er once said that if there is news from the prince, you must inform her as soon as possible." Sima Xuan'er said, "It's better...you accompany the little girl and go see her together."

Liu Yu thought about it and finally nodded. It was rare that Sima Xuan'er was willing. Rejecting him at this time would make him feel ruthless. When he returned to Chang'an City, the female family members at home had not come back yet, and they didn't even go to see anyone outside. This was unreasonable.

Liu Yu asked the captain of the guard Lian Husheng to prepare the carriage, and Liu Yu explained something to Qu Zhu. Once there was any situation with Shu King Su Xiao, he would go to Li Zheer to inform him as soon as possible. Then Liu Yu asked Sima Xuaner to get on the carriage, and he rode on his horse and walked towards Li Zheer's courtyard under the guards.

With the addition of Sima Xuan'er, Liu Yuxin was able to settle down. He visited Li Zhe'er's residence alone at night, and he entered the Pansi Cave by himself. He couldn't get out when he went in, and he could handle Sima Xuan'er with him. But he obviously thought about things too simply.

When I arrived at Li Zheer's residence, the alley was quiet and I could only hear the barking of dogs.

Liu Yu asked the guards to go up and knock on the door, and then a faint light lit up in the yard, and a woman's question came: "Who is it?"

The person who spoke was Li Zhe'er's little maid.

"Open the door, it's me." Liu Yu said.

Then he heard the little maid shouting: "Madam, Madam, the master is back! The master is back!"

Soon the yard became brighter. Li Zheer came out to open the door in person. When the yard door opened, her clothes were not neat, and she was obviously asleep and was in a hurry to put on her clothes.

Seeing Liu Yu standing in front of the door, Li Zhe'er showed surprise on her face. She was about to carry her over as if she had seen her husband for a long time, but found that Sima Xuan'er was standing behind her. She could only put down her makeup and bow to her body. Liu Yu stepped forward and took her hand and came into the courtyard with her.

"The master has been away for a long time, why did he come back suddenly?" Li Zhe'er was pulled by Liu Yu in one hand, and was a little shy. He put his other hand on his slightly messy hair in his ears. "If I had known that the master would come back, I would have to clean up my mind."

After Li Zhe'er came to the yard, she became a housewife. She usually went out to buy goods. On weekdays, she would go out to buy goods. Occasionally, Qu Shu, the head of the carriage and horse gang, would come to deliver some things. Originally, when Liu Yu came back, Qu Shu would come to report it as soon as possible, but this time Liu Yu secretly returned to Chang'an City, and even the carriage and horse gang did not receive any exact news, which made Li Zhe'er not even have time to prepare.

But because of this, Liu Yu also saw Li Zheer who was not covered with makeup and was naturally dressed without makeup.

The same beauty made him look so charming that he wanted to kiss.

Liu Yu entered the house and sat down at the small table. Li Zheer was about to serve tea when he realized that the tea was cold. Li Zheer immediately ordered two little maids who were rubbing sleepy eyes, "Xi'er, Xiaoying, why don't you go to boil water?"

"No, I'm not thirsty, so I don't have to bother the two girls to boil water."

"When the master comes back, how can I be negligent? Why don't you go quickly?"

"Oh." The two little maids quickly went to the kitchen to boil water. Liu Yu, the master, seemed to be a guest when he returned home, which made Li Zheer and the two little maids uncomfortable.

Li Zheer glanced at Sima Xuan'er, as if he was puzzled why Sima Xuan'er was with Liu Yu, and then he found that Liu Yu was already drinking cold tea on the table.

"master……"

"It's okay, I'm used to drinking cold water, it's more enjoyable. But if you cover yourself, don't drink cold water in the future, it will hurt your health."

Li Zhe'er smiled and immediately went to the bed to clean up, saying, "Master, do you want to stay for a rest tonight?"

"No, I..."

Liu Yu glanced at Sima Xuan'er and saw that Sima Xuan'er was winking at him, as if she wanted him to stay.

Sima Xuan'er immediately interrupted Liu Yu's words and said, "The prince has only returned after a long time of release. He is reunited with his wife. It is not good for the little girl to stay here. The little girl is going back now..."

Liu Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly. It turned out that Sima Xuan'er was accompanying her to carry a red rope to build a magpie bridge. He knew that he didn't want to be alone with Li Zhe'er late at night, but he deliberately accompanied him and then said goodbye to leave. This was also a good intention. However, thinking of Sima Xuan'er's excitement when she first met him, she felt even more bitter. Isn't this obvious desire to push her lover into her sister's arms and let herself be alone?

Sima Xuan'er was about to leave the room, but she felt that her hand was suddenly grabbed by Liu Yu from behind. Liu Yu just used a little force, and Sima Xuan'er became unstable backwards, causing Liu Yu to fall into his arms. Liu Yu didn't mean to let her fall down on purpose, but held her waist and let her sit on her lap.

"Prince..." Sima Xuan'er was shocked and was about to struggle to stand up immediately, but Liu Yu hugged her very tightly and refused to let her stand up.

Liu Yu wrapped his hands around Sima Xuan'er's waist and smiled and said, "Zhe'er, I won't leave for my husband today. So I stay here. How about spending a good night with the two beauties?"

When Sima Xuan'er heard that she was also joined the ranks of "spending a good night together", she was immediately confused and had no idea what to say.

As a sister, Li Zheer walked over generously and smiled: "I am naturally willing, but it depends on what Sister Xuan'er means. However, I usually think that my sister is also concerned about you, Master. If you can be a sister like this, I must also like it in my heart."
