But Gao Xiuer took Hua Yun's arm again: "Husband, you have already said it yourself. You and sister Hua Yun eat and sleep together. If this word gets out, how can sister Hua Yun get married? I can't say, I have no choice but to
More good sisters."
This change was so dramatic that Empress Xiao was dumbfounded. There was no trace of schadenfreude. However, she had more hope in her plan. As long as Liu Ziqiu is willing to accept this woman, he will accept other women.
The more than 300 beauties in Xiyuan didn’t make him fascinated?
Liu Ziqiu himself was shocked from ear to ear. How could such a good brother turn into a woman? Especially with his height, he was like the legendary Ocean Horse! Gao Xiuer is not short anymore, and is still lower than Hua Yun.
One head. Even when Liu Ziqiu was in the Western Regions, he had never seen such a tall woman.
However, Lin Qiaoer and Mu Duoli had recovered from the shock and said in unison: "Congratulations to the master (Alang), congratulations to the master (Alang)."
Seeing that Liu Ziqiu didn't respond, Hua Yun was a little unhappy and whispered: "If second brother doesn't want me to come in, then I will become a monk."
Liu Ziqiu said "Ah": "Why?"
There was a hint of helplessness on Hua Yun's face: "Even if I don't eat and sleep with you, I can't get married. In fact, I should have known that you dislike me."
Liu Ziqiu was even more surprised: "I dislike you, it's nothing."
"Why not? You see, I'm not much shorter than you."
This is an era where men are superior to women. If a wife is taller than her husband, the husband will not be able to hold his head up and will be laughed at. Hua Yun really cannot find a suitable wife for his height. Liu Ziqiu couldn't help laughing: "What if you
If you become a monk, I'm afraid the Bodhisattva will think you are too tall, so you'd better stay in my house."
"Silly girl, my husband has already agreed." Seeing Hua Yun still in a daze, Gao Xiuer poked her gently and said, "Husband, I think it's better to choose a day than to hit it. I will take care of the big things for you tonight.
Let’s do it.”
There was another person in the hall who was unhappy, and that was Li Mingyue, who was staying by Gao Xiuer's side. She was becoming more and more interested in Liu Ziqiu, but Liu Ziqiu refused to take another look at her, and instead fell in love with that guy who was neither male nor female.
The more unhappy she became, the harder she drank, and actually got herself drunk. Fortunately, she slept after being drunk, so it didn't hurt her.
…
Liu Ziqiu declined Empress Xiao's kindness to hold a wedding for him and Hua Yun in the palace, and instead went to Han Zhong's house in Jishanfang. That house was supposed to be owned by Changshan Carriage and Horse Racing Company, but was later quietly hidden by Xiao Dapeng.
It came down and was captured by Li Yuan again. Now, Li Yuan even gave up the palace, so naturally the house was returned to Changshan Carriage and Horse Racing House.
Han Zhong's house was not too big or luxurious, but Liu Ziqiu's population was not large. If you did not count the male and female guards, there were only five women and one child, so it was not too crowded to live in.
The house was cleaned up two days ago, and you can move in as soon as you enter. And taking a concubine is not as complicated as marrying a wife. You just need to light two red candles, hang a few pieces of red cloth, and make a red gauze tent, which is considered a wedding.
Seeing that his former good brother was about to become his woman, Liu Ziqiu felt a little weird. Lifting Huayun's red hijab, her shy face was already blushing. Liu Ziqiu stretched out his hand to lift Huayun's chin and held it carefully
After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "In the past, I always felt that my brother was too delicate, but I didn't expect that he turned into a woman. He is really beautiful. Compared with Xiu'er, he is not inferior at all."
Hua Yun's voice was as thin as a mosquito's fly: "Alang, this slave is a woman."
Liu Ziqiu sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect that after being with you for so long, I couldn't tell that you were a woman. As a husband, you are blind. You can definitely be called a contemporary Hua Mulan!"
He thought Hua Yun didn't know who Hua Mulan was, but Hua Yun lowered his head and whispered, "Hua Mulan is my aunt."
"Ah!" Liu Ziqiu suddenly realized that Hua Yunnu's ability to disguise herself as a man was actually a unique skill passed down from her ancestors. No wonder she couldn't see it at first.
After all, Hua Yun was born in the military and was not as pretentious as a wealthy lady. He took the initiative to put down his curtain and said softly: "Alang, please rest early."
…
At dawn the next day, Liu Ziqiu took Gao Xiuer, Hua Yun, Lin Qiaoer, and Mu Duoli, and followed Queen Xiao to Shanglin Xiyuan. Liu Ziqiu was not very interested in visiting the garden. But Gao Xiuer insisted on going, and Liu Ziqiu had no choice but to go.
her wish.
Shanglin Xiyuan has special meaning to Gao Xiuer. It's not that she likes the luxurious life there, but it is the experience of life and death in Shanglin Xiyuan that made her find true love.
Lin Qiaoer came from a humble background. She was already frightened when she had to enter the palace last night. Now she had to swim to Lin Xiyuan with the Queen Mother. She lowered her head all the way and did not dare to show her anger. Hua Yun and Mu Duoli
They are all martial arts practitioners, and they have a carefree personality. They look indifferent, but when they see flowers blooming everywhere, they can't help but feel curious.
The scenery of Shanglin Xiyuan in spring is different from other times. On the long embankment, pink willows and willows are mixed, apricots and pears are mixed, and all kinds of exotic flowers and plants compete for beauty. The scenery is really infinitely moving. There are also many beautiful women walking along it, which is even more beautiful.
Add some scenery.
Liu Ziqiu had visited Xiyuan twice at night and was not unfamiliar with it, but when he visited it during the day, the feeling was naturally quite different.
Suddenly, Empress Xiao pointed towards the lake and said, "Master Liu, let's go to Jingmingyuan first for a walk?"
Although she is now the empress dowager, she still looks humble in front of Liu Ziqiu, which makes Liu Ziqiu a little embarrassed, so he can only nod his head and say: "I am a minor minister, but I am subject to the orders of the empress."
In fact, Empress Xiao had other reasons for choosing Jingmingyuan instead of Qiyinyuan as the first stop. Empress Xiao still vividly remembers the scene when she judged the wife of the Sixteenth Academy, and Wang Guizhi, the wife of Jingmingyuan, was a famous person in the eastern capital.
Xishi in the clouds, especially the faint scent of osmanthus on her body, is the most attractive.
Empress Xiao believed that even if Liu Ziqiu had considerable immunity to beauty, it would be difficult for her to resist the fragrance of Wang Guizhi. Yang Guang was attracted by that fragrance and stayed in Jingming Courtyard for two nights before leaving. Others
Even though the lady of the courtyard is as beautiful as a flower, Yang Guang's temperament of being fond of the new and hating the old still refuses to stay one more day.
In fact, Liu Ziqiu had been to Jingmingyuan once, but he got in through the window, and it was his first time to walk through the gate. How could he recall it? The fragrance of osmanthus wafted in the yard.
Huayun Kuairen said quickly, "Hey" and said: "It is indeed a royal palace, the osmanthus trees bloom in spring!"
Empress Xiao smiled and said: "This is not the smell of the osmanthus tree. It is the natural fragrance of Mrs. Wang, the head of Jingmingyuan."
When the woman saw Empress Xiao, she was suddenly surprised: "Mother, you are still alive!"
During this period, Li Yuan blocked the news. Shanglin Xiyuan only knew that Yang Guang and Queen Xiao had died in Hexi, and naturally had no idea what happened next.
Empress Xiao took Wang Guizhi's hand, pointed at Liu Ziqiu and said, "Mrs. Wang, I would like to introduce to you. This is the powerful General Liu in Guanlong."
But Gao Xiuer laughed: "My dear, you don't need to introduce me. They are old acquaintances. Don't look at his sanctimonious appearance. The first thing he did when he came to Luoyang was to see Yunli Xishi."
Little did she know that Liu Ziqiu later met Wang Guizhi once in Xiyuan.
Wang Guizhi was surprised when he heard Gao Xiuer's words. After taking a closer look, he immediately fell to the ground and said, "I have seen my benefactor!"
Just now Wang Guizhi did not bow down when she met Empress Xiao because she was not optimistic about her future. But Liu Ziqiu helped her avenge her father's murder. With this kindness, she could not turn a blind eye to Liu Ziqiu.
"Mrs. Wang, please get up quickly!" Liu Ziqiu couldn't help him, so he could only wink at Gao Xiuer.
Gao Xiuer smiled, stepped forward to help Wang Guizhi up, and praised: "What a wonderful Mrs. Wang, the beauty of the country is really fragrant. But when did my husband become your benefactor, I had no idea."
Queen Xiao was not angry about Wang Guizhi's performance. After all, she now had to rely on Liu Ziqiu's breath to survive. Therefore, Queen Xiao said very affectionately: "Mrs. Wang, since you and Mr. Liu are old acquaintances, there is no need to say more
I said it. Why don’t you quickly invite all the beauties in your courtyard to come out, arrange a banquet, and show off their talents in front of Mr. Liu."
Wang Guizhi glanced at Liu Ziqiu quietly, nodded slightly, and whispered: "I will call the sisters out right now."
But Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said, "No need, Mrs. Wang. Liu just wanted to ask, what are Mrs. Wang's plans for the future?"
Wang Guizhi sighed quietly and said: "I have been the late emperor's servant for a long time. Now that the late emperor has passed away, I have been living for a long time. I am just waiting for the imperial court to decline. I will go to some nunnery and stay with the ancient Buddha with green lanterns for the rest of my life."
Liu Ziqiu turned to Empress Xiao, cupped her hands and said, "I am going to tell you that I have an unkind request, and I hope your empress can agree to it."
Empress Xiao smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, do you want to ask a favor for Mrs. Wang so that the Ai family can give her a free life?"
Liu Ziqiu nodded and said, "Your Majesty, the Holy Ming."
Gao Xiuer was not a jealous woman. She just smiled and said nothing after listening to Liu Ziqiu's words, but no one knew what she was thinking. Lin Qiaoer only knew how to accept the situation, and naturally she would not say anything.
However, Hua Yun was a little unhappy and said: "Alang, do you want to add more children to your family? I heard from my sister that there are hundreds of beauties in Shanglin Xiyuan. After today's tour, how many people can you ask for?
Free body?"
"Importing new children?" Liu Ziqiu burst out laughing, "As long as the empress agrees, I would like to seek freedom for all the women in Shanglin Xiyuan!"
