In the dark room, slight footsteps sounded, followed by two red candles being lit.
Qiqiao subconsciously looked at the bed, and saw an exquisite figure covered with a bright red quilt. Under the long black hair, the beauty was sleeping soundly, and she could faintly see that she seemed to be naked.
A pair of black eyes suddenly appeared in Qiqiao's sight, and it was Li Xuan who seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
I don't know when, Li Xuan woke up.
Qiqiao's heart that had just been hanging was immediately relieved. She bowed slightly, and just as she was about to speak, she saw Li Xuan pull out his hand that had been under the thin quilt, and waved to Qiqiao, who immediately bowed and retreated. Go down.
Li Xuan lowered his head and looked at his wife who was lying on her side. Under her beautiful face was a satisfied and sweet smile, and the occasional eyebrows seemed to be complaining that Li Xuan was too rude.
The sound of gentle breathing reached Li Xuan's ears rhythmically, making him feel relieved.
Lowering his head and kissing his wife on the cheek, Li Xuan stood up quietly.
When they came to the outside, Qiqiao and Sijinruyu helped Li Xuan wash up, and then a series of secret messages were sent in quietly.
Last night, seventeen fires broke out in Chang'an City, including the prince's house, the Turkic general's house, civilian houses, and Wuhou's shop. However, these fires were quickly put out.
Although no one saw the fire fighting in many places, the sound of fighting could be faintly heard in the wind.
Li Xuan didn't have much information about whose mansion it was exactly, but a lot of people were used last night.
From Chang'an Wannian County, hundreds of officials, Qianniu Guard, Jinwu Guard, and Dali Temple were all dispatched.
Did the Turks escape?
Li Xuan looked at the information in his hand, and a conclusion suddenly appeared in his mind.
After carefully reading the secret letter again, Li Xuan finally came to the same conclusion.
The Turks successfully escaped from Chang'an.
How can this be?
The Jinwu Guards had been eyeing this wave of Turks a long time ago. Just looking at the formation last night, you can tell how long they have been setting up. In such a situation, how could they still let people escape?
What kind of opponent is Ming Chongyan facing?
Although it was Ashina Yun, the head of Jianchang County, who had always appeared in front of Li Xuan, she was just a chess piece thrown at the front desk. The person who really planned everything behind the scenes was hidden very deep.
It is even very possible that he is the King of East China Sea.
As the King of Donghai, if Ming Chongyan fails to guard against him, he will be in great trouble.
But now the secret message is that people from Dali Temple, Chang'an Wannian County, Qianniu Guard, and Jinwu Guard have been searching all night long, and the team has not been withdrawn yet. It is self-evident what the result will be.
Li Xuan casually put these secret letters aside. He had no interest in intervening in these matters.
Even if his opponent did something in his mansion, Li Xuan just killed the "back-up man" who sneaked into Prince Peng's mansion without reporting it to Wannian County Government or informing Qianniu Guard. He even didn't want it at all. This matter has something to do with Prince Peng's Mansion.
At the same time, Li Xuan was also observing secretly.
The people from Dali Temple, Wannian County in Chang'an, as well as Chang'an Qianniu Guard and Chang'an Jinwu Guard, how are their work capabilities and efficiency?
In the current situation, these things that are usually invisible were clearly displayed before his eyes.
After finishing the secret message in her hand, Li Xuan had just returned to the bedroom when she saw Liu Jinyu had gotten up, wearing a light pink gauze skirt, sitting in front of the bronze mirror, drawing her eyebrows carefully.
The red candle was still burning. In front of the bronze mirror, Liu Jinyu was painting very seriously, and she didn't even notice that Li Xuan had quietly appeared behind her.
On the bronze mirror, a hibiscus face gently appeared, its cheeks were flushed, its starry eyes were like waves, and its eyelashes were slightly drooped.
Between the lips, there is a pink rouge flower, delicate and tender, with a green and charming charm.
As soon as she looked up, Liu Jinyu saw the man staring at her.
Li Xuan's face immediately turned red with embarrassment.
"Ahem!" Li Xuan turned around and glanced at the bed, which had already been tidied up.
Those shameful things have been completely hidden.
The corners of Li Xuan's mouth raised slightly, she put her hands on Liu Jinyu's shoulders, and then said softly: "My wife is so beautiful. If you continue to draw her, Fairy Chang'e will be jealous when she sees her."
"Mr. Lang!" Liu Jinyu turned around, rolled her eyes at Li Xuan shyly and angrily, and then said slightly uneasily: "But I still feel that the eyebrows on the left are a bit shallow, and the eyebrows on the right are a bit darker. "The husband can't see it, but the mother and concubine can definitely see it. I don't dare to be so careless, because it is the first time to formally meet my mother-in-law, so I can't make any mistakes."
"How could I not know that today, my husband, you have put a lot of effort into your makeup, but you are right, the eyebrows on the left are indeed a little lighter, and the eyebrows on the right are a little darker. Come on, husband, I will paint it for you." Li Xuan smoothly did it for you. I took the eyebrow pencil.
Liu Jinyu looked at Li Xuan with some confusion, but still sat there and let Li Xuan touch her eyebrows...
"Oops, the painting is crooked... Lang Jun, good husband, go and change your clothes. I will paint my body by myself." Liu Jinyu directly drove Li Xuan out of the inner room. Looking at the uneven eyebrows in front of her eyes, she asked again It makes me angry and funny, but at the same time, I feel a little relieved.
Her husband-in-law had never put makeup on another woman.
"Mom, please have tea." Li Xuan and Liu Jinyu knelt on the futon and handed the tea in their hands to their mother, Ouyang Shi. Ouyang Shi glanced at Liu Jinyu with satisfaction, and then He took a sip of tea and said softly: "Get up."
Li Xuan then helped Liu Jinyu stand up.
"Sanniang, my mother has been in Chang'an for the past few months this year. My mother will accompany you well." Ouyang reached out and took Liu Jinyu's hand. Liu Jinyu lowered his head and nodded shyly.
Li Xuan subconsciously corrected her: "Mom, Sanniang should be the one accompanying you."
"Go, go, go, I don't understand anything, go ahead." Ouyang rolled his eyes at Li Xuan angrily, and then looked at the bride again.
Wearing a bright red floral skirt, a purple belt tied around the waist, her hair hanging low on the temples, with a pearl and jasper hairpin inserted diagonally.
The man has a face of flowers and a moonlike appearance, and his skin is like a hibiscus emerging from water.
He lowered his head and lowered his eyes with a hint of shyness, which made people feel a little affectionate.
Ouyang patted the back of Liu Jinyu's hand and said softly: "Go ahead, change your clothes first, and let Da Lang take you to worship the gods and ancestors. Then the eldest princess and your aunt should come over later. "
"Here!" Liu Jinyu immediately agreed softly.
Li Xuan then helped her up, went back to her room and changed into a blue skirt, and then went to the backyard and the ancestral hall.
After worshiping the gods and ancestors, Li Xuan wrote Liu Jinyu's name on the clan book.
"This is for you and my future children and grandchildren to see. Don't be careless." Li Xuan turned her head and looked at Liu Jinyu.
Liu Jinyu responded lightly: "Yes!"
After returning to the bedroom and changing into her bright red skirt, Li Xuan and Liu Jinyu came to the main hall to serve tea to the eldest princess of Huainan, her two aunts, Princess Qianjin, and the other princesses, sister-in-laws, and wives-in-law.
Li Xuan originally thought that on the second day of the wedding, even if there were relatives, not too many people would come.
Unexpectedly, almost all the female relatives from every family came, and Li Xuan and Liu Jinyu only served tea for a long time.
Among them, Xiao Zhao Huan came over and offered Liu Jinyu a cup of tea.
Laughing and having breakfast, it was at this time that the palace's decree came.
On the second day of the fourth lunar month, Li Xuan, wearing a purple five-python-five-chapter royal robe, and Liu Jinyu, wearing a purple elm skirt with a Zhai bird pattern and a nine-pin headdress, entered the Zichen Hall under the guidance of the chamberlain. ..
It was rare for Empress Wu not to review the memorial. She sat on the high platform and looked at Li Xuan and Liu Jinyu standing side by side with satisfaction.
She saw Li Xuan more times, and Liu Jinyu more often.
Dressed in luxurious Zhai clothes, her hair was combed high into a bun.
With a few peonies on her pins, a dignified face, fair skin, slightly red cheeks, and elegant manners, she looks quite lovely.
Now as the Princess of Nanchang, Empress Wu is extremely satisfied.
The things Liu Jinyu secretly did for Liu Rengui could not be hidden from Empress Wu. After all, Liu Rengui was already over seventy, and he could understand his lack of energy. However, some people suggested that Liu Jinyu should be married to the Prime Minister Li Dan, and Empress Wu was immediately alert. got up.
Nowadays, Nanchang King is cheap, so just be cheap, it’s not just right.
Empress Wu smiled, looked at Li Xuan and Liu Jinyu with a gentle face and said, "The King of Nanchang is resolute and courageous, and the Princess of Nanchang is dignified and majestic. They are a match made in heaven, and I am very pleased."
"Thank you, Queen of Heaven, for your praise." Li Xuan and Liu Jinyu bowed to Wuzhou at the same time.
After a moment's pause, Empress Wu continued: "If you plant jade in Lantian, you will be blessed with many children. King of Nanchang, you and Princess Nanchang should have more children, and then spread the branches of the palace of Nanchang to live up to the trust of our ancestors." .”
"My concubine, I obey the decree and will live up to the Queen's expectations." Li Xuan and Liu Jinyu once again paid homage to Empress Wu at the same time, solemnly and sincerely.
Although in the future Empress Wu would ascend the throne and proclaim herself emperor and kill the clan, for now, Empress Wu was still good to Li Xuan.
Empress Wu turned sideways and looked at the female crown next to her: "Passing the decree, I will give you two pairs of lotus roots."
"Thank you, Queen." Li Xuan and Liu Jinyu immediately handed over their hands.
"Okay, you go down. There is no need to disturb His Majesty. There is also the Prince. The King of Nanchang is getting married. The Prince also knows that he has worked hard." Empress Wu couldn't help laughing.
"My concubine, please retire. May the Queen be safe." Li Xuan and Liu Jinyu slowly retreated.
They exited the palace city all the way, then got on the carriage in the imperial city and drove slowly towards the outside of the palace.
Li Xuan held his wife's hand and whispered: "The Queen is kind and kind. Although she is very demanding, she never hesitates to reward her if she achieves something."
Liu Jinyu understood the meaning of Li Xuan's words, responded softly, and then leaned into his arms.
Suddenly, the advancing carriage suddenly stopped, and Liu Jinyu subconsciously leaned forward, but was held tightly in Li Xuan's arms. Li Xuan said with a hint of joking: "Madam, it's not yet dark yet." black."
"What nonsense are you talking about? There is someone outside." Liu Jinyu stretched out her hand and pinched Li Xuan's waist hard.
Li Xuan bared his teeth for a while, but still turned slightly, opened the corner of the door curtain, looked out the door, and then sighed softly: "Brother Jing Si, can't you wait so much?"
Qin Jun led a team of Jinwu guards to guard Li Xuan. He held his hands solemnly and said, "King of Nanchang, General Cheng invites you!"
Zuo Jinwu Guard General Cheng Chubi?
Li Xuan couldn't help but frown.
