Seeing Mulan's excited look, Liu Yezhu showed a smile of success, which made Mulan, who was bowing to thank her, suddenly feel a chill on her back. Unfortunately, the situation she was in now obviously did not allow her to look around or put on a defensive posture.
In this way, half a month passed peacefully, and Mulan got used to the job of riding a captain.
What only made her a little embarrassed was that the emperor seemed to be very curious about her. He always summoned her and asked her to tell some stories about her daily training and battles. He also told her about her youth and the soldiers of the Yulin Army.
The fun things that happened when we were together seemed like he wanted to share his happiness with the young general he trusted.
Mulan, who came from a humble background, was somewhat unaccustomed to such kind treatment, but she didn't know that it was precisely because of her blushing look that she successfully plucked the string in Liu Yezhu's heart.
Speaking of which, although Mulan is disguising herself as a man, it is only to cover up her female characteristics. After all, she is just a girl from the countryside. Naturally, she will not have the opportunity to come into contact with those magical disguise skills, so
Even though she wears makeup to look like a boy, she still looks feminine.
Even though this feeling has faded a lot after many years in the army and has become more heroic and capable, it is like Zilongjiang has been practicing hard since he was a child and has experienced various harsh environments, but his naturally fair skin has not darkened much.
Otherwise, there is no need to worry about Li Shushi and others.
Just like teasing, Mulan still can't get rid of the title of "little pretty face" that he got when he first entered the military camp. The only difference is that before, this title was full of malicious sarcasm. But now basically all the friends who are familiar with Mulan will call him "little pretty face".
This title is regarded as Mulan's nickname or "pet name".
It is said that the Han Dynasty was full of wonders, including strong female men and men who were as feminine as girls.
For example, Mulan often saw the man named Han Yan who served the wise and powerful emperor - if she hadn't gotten the exact information from the Yulin Army's men, Mulan would have thought that the other person was a harem who liked to wear men's clothing as much as she did.
Where is the concubine?
As for the relationship between Han Yan and the emperor, although there are different opinions, it is certain that the man who can enter and leave the emperor's private palace at will and spend the night with the emperor definitely has an extraordinary relationship with the emperor.
Of course, you can also see from here that Liu Yezhu's children's shoes really live up to his name. His energy can be compared with that of the First Emperor of the previous dynasty, and in terms of practicality, it may be even slightly better than that of the First Emperor.
Although Han Yan was charming, Liu Yezhu was also fascinated by Mulan's charming face and figure amid her prowess.
If Mulan chooses to fight on the battlefield, although His Majesty the Emperor will have some regrets, but as a wise emperor, he knows how to choose. But since God asked Mulan to clean herself and send herself to the emperor... There was a dispute between King Wu Fu Chai and King Gou Jian of Yue.
Isn't there a famous saying called "
"If God cannot take it, you should be blamed for it"? Of course, this may be the writing of Tai Shigong. It may not be easy to say whether this dialogue actually exists. After all, the historical records are really not low-level. Anyway, Liu Yezhu's children's shoes are
How could a complete conqueror let his prey slip away from his hands?
So, one sunny evening (this was due to the lighting, definitely not a hilarious primary school student composition), Mulan went to Jianzhang Palace where the emperor was staying as usual to report on her work.
The emperor seemed to be in a good mood that day. Not only did he praise Mulan for her seriousness and responsibility, but he also asked Mulan to stay and have dinner with the emperor. However, people who could often be seen on weekdays such as Han Yan, Dong Yan, and the emperor's nephew Huo Qubing did not show up. Except for the emperor
Apart from Mulan, there were only eunuchs and maids serving these two people, and even these people disappeared without a trace soon after.
The lights gradually became dim, and everything became blurry and misty.
People don't know exactly what happened. They only know that under the emperor's toughness, Mulan didn't dare to say anything even if her heart was filled with fear, let alone any tiny move to resist the emperor.
"I never thought that the general who fought for me on the battlefield and killed the enemy would be a woman?!"
The emperor's surprised voice came from the darkness. I couldn't tell whether it was anger or interest. It was calm and cold.
As the plaintive music played, Mulan confessed everything to the emperor in a panicked voice, from being worried about her frail father and having to join the army on his father's behalf, to fearfully concealing her identity in the army, to fighting on the battlefield with Pao Ze.
Make meritorious service to the country.
Everything, this strange woman who was only in her early twenties slowly told about it, telling about the uneasiness she experienced in order to conceal her identity, telling about her sadness due to the passing of her comrade Pao Ze, and telling about her triumphant return.
The excitement and excitement when meeting the emperor and receiving the reward tell the story of the feeling of relief when taking off the imperial robe.
Until the end...
"Your Majesty, this is the life of Hua Shi Mulan, a daughter of the people. Although the daughter of the people committed the crime of bullying the emperor, she has no regrets. I just ask your majesty to see the achievements of the women of the people and their filial love.
Go up and bypass the family of the civilian girl."
From the darkness came Mulan's firm voice, which had calmed down, and a heavy sigh full of emotion.
No one knows what happened that night. They only know that in the morning of the next day, the wise Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty rewarded a palace in the Jianzhang Palace where he lived to a sudden appearance named Concubine Hua.
concubine. At the same time, he told the world that the young man
Ji Qingqing, General Hua Huhua, who had repeatedly been promoted to the rank of Cavalry Commander, suffered a stroke after drinking with the emperor and died suddenly that night. The emperor missed this outstanding general and gave a posthumous gift to the family of the young general.
With title, mansion and property.
Either of these two sudden news is enough to shock the court, but under the emperor's thunderous wrist, it is difficult to cause any big waves. After all, the prestige and skills of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty are unmatched by anyone in the world.
.
In this way, several years passed. On the stage, a young woman with a big belly leaned against the railing of the palace and quietly looked at the first snow outside. Behind her were Wei Qing, Li Feng and others who came to report the victory to the emperor.
.
However, in the emperor's teasing eyes, all these men looked as if they had seen a ghost.
"The male rabbit's feet are twitching, and the female rabbit's eyes are blurry. Two rabbits are walking next to each other. How can they tell whether I am male or female?"
The curtain falls.
"Is this...is this the end?" Wusun Wang Xuanmi looked at Li Shushi with some uncertainty. And soon Li Shushi noticed the white tiger cat at his feet (hasn't left yet...), and the one on the other side.
Zhen Xiaoluoli and Nero-chan also looked at him.
Li Shushi didn't know how to answer such a question, so he had to answer ambiguously:
"It can also be said that it is over, but it can also be said that it is not over. Or it should be said that this choice has reached its end. And if you follow other choices, you may still take a longer road, because the longest one in the original plan
In this route, Mulan needs to go through up to 12 years of military career, and there will be more than one branch and more than one ending."
"In other words, this is just one of the possibilities?" Zhen Xiaololi's eyes were sparkling.
"Yes. As for whether it will be the best ending, to be honest, I am not sure. After all, a thousand people will have a thousand kinds of happiness, a thousand kinds of satisfaction, and a thousand kinds of dissatisfaction. You can never make everyone
People are satisfied at the same time, and you can't force everyone to accept what you think is satisfactory, so how it all feels depends on your own feelings."
It's a pity that he still couldn't say the more classic sentence "There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people", so Li Shushi's answer was obviously not as cool as he expected, but it was enough to fool Little Lolita and Little Lolita.
They are.
"It just seems that some of the options that someone created before have shocked the audience's hearts too much, so they all cherish this hard-won happiness, even if it may not be what they most expect.
That kind of happiness, but it is definitely an acceptable happiness. Isn’t it, the husband who directed all this~"
I don't know when, Su Xiaololi stood behind Li Shushi, and took the little Li Nie from Li Shushi's hand.
However, Xiao Linie still seemed to only show enough closeness to Li Shushi, and she still had a calm face towards others, showing neither disgust nor liking, as if using this faint expression
Calmness built a cold shell, isolating everyone except Dad from this shell.
I always feel that this little Li Nie will be an amazing gentleman-type beauty when she grows up.
However, just like what Su Xiaololi said, perhaps it was because the thunder and fire set by Li Shushi had so aroused the audience's nerves that they unconsciously began to guess when watching the show.
Once you have to turn off the lights for a scene change, wonder if this will mean another thrill.
They started to make nervous choices, and then they would be startled even if the actors on the stage paused for a moment, wondering if this was a hidden trap. Even they knew that such an idea was really ridiculous, but every time
I couldn't help but guess this, as if it was the body's instinctive reaction.
The original conditioned reflex has been solidified into a stress response. From this perspective, Li Shushi is a more terrifying existence than Su Xiaololi, and the poor audiences in the audience have become dolls in Li Shushi's hands, allowing him to control their emotions.
's ups and downs.
This is certainly a success, but because of this success, when the audience finally sees a beautiful-looking happyend, they will instinctively resist future plot developments.
They are scared and have experienced so many "storms" that they are no longer willing to let go of even a small amount of happiness.
This may also be regarded as a variant application of Stockholm syndrome.
In any case, judging from the audience's reaction, this play is definitely an unprecedented success.
Even the audience who was deceived by Li Shushi felt that this was a story with a very ambitious theme, and the lighting and soundtrack on the stage were also done perfectly. Although the actors' performances were still a bit jerky, this unique
The performance format still brought enough shock to the audience, and it can definitely be regarded as an audio-visual feast.
After the performance, it was finally time to officially enter the dinner party.
Although due to the performance, the delicacies originally placed on the table were not consumed too much and became a little cold, but this did not disturb the guests' dining mood at all.
Or it should be said that even at this time, these guests are still not in the mood to eat. They are still immersed in the performance just now. Even if they hold the knives, forks and chopsticks, they still stop in mid-air without falling.
Because at this moment, their minds are filled with the scenes they just performed. It can even be said that it is only at this moment that they can more calmly replay, relive and reminisce what they have seen before in their minds.
Of course. Certain embarrassing scenes obviously cannot appear in such "replays". For some people, they would rather never remember those scenes, while for others, they will make up for it in their minds.
My favorite memory.
Gradually, there was more noise in the hall. Many people were no longer satisfied with enjoying that wonderful feeling by themselves. They were eager to share their feelings with the people around them and find people who had the same views as them.
To prove that your taste is correct, and even if you find someone with a different viewpoint, you can use your eloquence to make the other person switch sides.
Looking at the guests who were gradually blushing, Li Shushi believed that if this was not the palace of Queen Wusun, perhaps these drunk and excited guests might use more body language to make the other party admit defeat.
Therefore, Li Shushi had to ask Dian Wei to temporarily increase the number of male "waiters" at the venue to deal with possible emergencies.
In fact, a similar situation is happening around him now, whether it is Wusun Wang Xuanmi and her mother and sister on one side, or Zhen Xiaololi, Nero Jiang and others on the other side, if Su Xiaololi had not shared the burden
Without some firepower, perhaps Li Shushi would be completely overwhelmed by the terrifying number of ducks in his ear, and this did not include those who were farther away.
Perhaps this is a long-planned revenge against a bad guy who successfully took revenge on society?
If it is true, then it really hits Li Shushi's Achilles' heel, and its sharpness is top-notch.
"Shu Shi, can you tell me the stories without performances? I'm also very interested in the following stories."
"The story behind it...you have to know that the story behind it is very, very long. Are you really willing to listen to it?"
"Of course, people are very interested. And even if I can't finish today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow... I say a paragraph every night before going to bed, and there will always be a day when I finish it, right? So you can rest assured and boldly
Keep talking."
With a slightly confused look on her face, Xuanmi put her head, which was mixed with the scent of body and wine, to Li Shushi's ear. The warm and moist gas tickled Li Shushi's ears, making him think of a certain restricted-level person.
lens.
"Just think of this story as the gift you left me. Although I am destined to be unable to keep you, I am really happy to be able to keep your child and leave such an exciting story. And I am very happy."
I don't need to hide for so many years like that Mulan, I can prepare everything for our children openly."
"What if I said I still have a lot of interesting stories in my belly?"
"No," a slender jade finger gently touched Li Shushi's lips, "I don't need so many stories, because the more stories I know, the less I am afraid I will be unable to bear the pain caused by your departure. Although I
I don’t regret our acquaintance, but I am also a woman, and I also fantasize about staying with the man I love forever. I am afraid, I am afraid that I will miss you too deeply.
It makes me crazy, makes me give up everything here and go to Dahan to find you at all costs. But I don’t know how I should face you and how I should stay by your side after I go to Dahan.
Here I am a queen respected by everyone, but there I am an ordinary woman who may be homesick, melancholy, or sad..."
"I always feel like you said everything by yourself."
"Hehe~ So, this is it, this is it, this is enough. I, and our children are here forever waiting for you, waiting for you to come back, let you see my ability, let you
See a different Wusun, a country that can carry all your dreams. I believe you will be surprised when the time comes."
With the self-confidence, pride and a touch of infatuation that only belonged to her, although she was already a little drunk, the sincere feeling in her eyes made Li Shushi feel a little emotional and moved. I don’t know when the two of them fell in love.
They kissed each other like that, as if they couldn't tell each other apart, and as if they wanted to use this action to completely imprint the other person in their minds.
Su Xiaololi, who was sitting on the other side, quietly looked at the man and woman who were intertwined with intense emotions. The expression on her face was a little satisfied, a little melancholy, and a little confused... But Su Xiaololi didn't notice it.
In the same place, there was another person who was also watching her, with an inexplicable smile on his face.
You are looking at the scenery on the bridge, and the people watching the scenery are looking at you.
In this noisy hall, there is an inexplicable feeling of tranquility, as if time here has been suspended.
until……
"Ready to make dumplings~"
It seems that the time scheduled has arrived, and the banquet manager of Prince Wusun Palace can finally shout out perhaps his only line in the book, and then receive a bag of raw dumplings to go home for the New Year.
"Get ready to eat dumplings." Su Xiaololi's waxy voice sounded in Li Shushi's ears.
And because many people had participated in the previous activity of making dumplings and were very interested in what the fruits of their labor would look like, so at this moment they all stopped the tableware in their hands and the ongoing debate on their lips,
I have the greatest expectations for the delicious food that is about to be served.
"Shu Shi, you must try the dumplings made by me~" Wusun Wang Xuanmi took the opportunity to hold Li Shushi's hand and said coquettishly with expectation on her face.
But before Li Shushi agreed, Little Loli Zhen rushed to Li Shushi's side at some unknown time and shook Li Shushi's handiwork. Apparently she was also full of confidence in her work.
At the same time, Ma Qing, Lai Ying'er, several princesses, Cai Yan... more girls are gathering here.
It even looks like even the Xuanwu Royal Sister and the girl in palace attire are coming to join in the fun.
Li Shushi suddenly felt that perhaps such a festival was far from a day worth celebrating for him.
I hope he still has the strength to get up tomorrow. No, maybe it will be quite difficult just to survive.
It’s really...unfortunate! To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
ps: I recommend a book called "The Pillars of the Wu Family". As the author himself said, it can be used as an introduction to the Wu family, a guide to gossip, and an introduction to dark history. It must be quite interesting.
