"What does it mean?" Xin Lingling looked at Liu Xiu blankly.
Looking at her clear eyes, Liu Xiu sighed secretly, swallowed the words that came to her mouth, and said with a smile: "It's nothing. I just walked around, where does Ling Lu like to live?"
"Is it okay to live anywhere?" Xin Linglu asked with bright eyes.
"Well...most of them are fine." Liu Xiu hesitated. In the harem, the only exception was Jiaofang Hall, which was the queen's residence.
Even if the queen is in Luoyang and not in Chang'an, no one can stay in Jiaofang Palace, except of course the emperor. There is no place in this world where the emperor is not allowed to stay.
Xin Linglu thought for a moment and said, "I like Lanlin Temple very much."
Lanlin Hall is next to Jiaofang Hall, in the northeast of Jiaofang Hall. After hearing her words, Liu Xiu smiled, nodded and said, "No problem, Linglu will live in Lanlin Hall from now on!"
The harem palaces of Weiyang Palace are all idle. Xin Linglu is the first woman to live in Weiyang Palace since Liu Xiu became emperor.
Liu Xiu accompanied Xin Linglu to the Lanlin Palace, and asked Zhang Kun to recruit six maids and six chamberlains to take charge of Xin Linglu's daily life. In addition, even Zixuan also lived with Xin Linglu in the Lanlin Palace.
When Zhang Kun brought six palace ladies and six chamberlains to Lanlin Palace, they suddenly saw Dahua, Ermao and Heimao lying aside. These palace ladies and chamberlains had never seen this before, and they were all frightened and screamed.
He made a sound and his body trembled into a ball.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Kun's face suddenly darkened, and he yelled dissatisfiedly: "What are you yelling about?! Your Majesty is here, and you disturbed the Holy Master, what crime should you do?"
With one sentence, all the palace maids and chamberlains were so frightened that they all knelt down and kowtowed forward. Lian Zixuan was very smart. She stepped forward quickly and said with a smile: "You don't have to be afraid. They are all Miss Xin's family pets. Look at
Scary, but not harmful." At least they won't hurt people unless their owners give orders.
While talking, Lian Zixuan deliberately walked over, squatted down between Dahua and Ermao, and touched the back of Erhumao. In the past two days, she had become familiar with Dahua and Ermao, feeding them food, and sometimes
Will touch them tentatively.
But she didn't dare to touch Heimao. Heimao was rather arrogant and didn't like to be touched by strangers. When Lian Zixuan wanted to touch him, Heimao either turned away and walked away, or turned around and grinned, showing a serious look.
Biting posture.
Lian Zixuan gave a demonstration, which made the shivering palace maids and chambermaids relax a little, but they still didn't dare to approach the three beasts.
Regarding Lian Zixuan's performance, Liu Xiu secretly nodded with great appreciation and said: "Zixuan, you can be the eldest maid for the time being. They are all at your disposal."
This was exactly what Lian Zixuan wanted. The latter could not hide the joy on her face, saluted Liu Xiufu and said, "My maid, thank you for your kindness!"
Liu Xiu waved his hand and motioned for her to get up.
After settling down with Xin Linglu, Liu Xiu went to the Qingliang Hall in the Central Palace to work. The Qingliang Hall is next to the Fei Canal and very close to the waterway flowing through Weiyang Palace, so it is naturally very cool.
In addition, to the south of Qingliang Hall is Cangchi, an artificial lake formed by collecting water from a flying canal. It is very large and has a beautiful scenery. Standing in Qingliang Hall, you can see the beautiful scenery of green trees and clear water.
I haven't returned to the palace for nearly a month, so the memorials were squeezed out a lot, and all the memorials that could be sent to Weiyang Palace were major and urgent matters. For ordinary memorials, Deng Yu and his minister's desk had already handled them in Luoyang.
Such a large number of memorials could not be dealt with in a day or two. Liu Xiu was tired after dealing with about one-tenth of it. At this time, Zhang Kun walked in and whispered: "Your Majesty, it's late, it's time.
Take a rest."
Liu Xiu stretched his muscles and asked, "What time is it now?"
"Replying to your majesty, it's Haishi." Haishi is from nine to eleven o'clock in the evening.
Liu Xiu nodded and said, "There is no morning meeting tomorrow, so it doesn't matter if you rest later." As he spoke, he picked up another volume of memorials and read through them slowly.
At this moment, a cry of surprise suddenly came from outside the palace. Zhang Kun didn't know what was going on, so he subconsciously stretched out his arm to protect Liu Xiu.
The latter frowned slightly, pushed Zhang Kun's arm away, stood up, and walked out of the hall. As soon as he arrived outside, Luo You walked quickly, saluted Liu Xiufu, and said: "Your Majesty, it was a palace maid who saw Black
Mao, I was a little frightened."
When Liu Xiu heard this, the corner of her mouth slightly raised, and not far away, she saw a black figure walking leisurely and elegantly like a cat, walking slowly past a little palace maid who was slumped on the ground with a pale face.
When the black hair came closer to him, Liu Xiu bent down, touched the top of its head, and asked with a smile: "If you are not staying in Lanlin Hall, why do you come out to scare people?"
Black Mao ignored Liu Xiu's accusation, and first yawned loudly, then raised his paw and licked it with his tongue, as if he was saying: Go wherever Mr. Bao wants to go, I don't care if you are afraid or not?!
Liu Xiu was amused by this arrogant leopard, and turned around and walked towards Qingliang Hall. Heimao glanced at him and followed him in. Liu Xiu asked Zhang Kun to fetch some pieces of fresh meat.
Looking at the pieces of meat still dripping with blood in the basin, Heimao lowered his head and smelled it, then turned his head and yelled at Liu Xiu, seeming to be very dissatisfied.
Liu Xiu shrugged and said: "Normally, you can only eat these. When you are working, you will have soy sauce beef to eat."
After hearing this, the Black Panther became unhappy and yelled at Liu Xiu twice more. Seeing that Liu Xiu was holding the memorial and ignoring him, the Leopard was even more unhappy. He came closer to Liu Xiu and bit his trouser leg.
.
Liu Xiu remained unmoved and ignored it. Finally, with a hiss, Liu Xiu's trouser leg was overwhelmed by the weight, and it forced a big bite open.
He put down the memorial and turned to look at Heimao, who saw that a storm was coming; Heimao raised his head and looked at Liu Xiu, with a cute and innocent look on his face.
One person and one leopard, big eyes staring at small eyes. After a while, the black hair turned around, walked back the same way, and feasted in front of the basin. Liu Xiu lowered his head and looked at his trouser legs, clicked his tongue, and then continued to review the memorial.
After eating up a large bowl of fresh meat, Heimao walked up to Liu Xiu and lay down. There was still a little distance between him and the leopard. I don’t know how long it took, but Heimao rubbed against Liu Xiu.
On the body.
The latter glanced at it, and it also looked at Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu continued to read the memorial, with the black hair getting closer, and finally turned over and lay comfortably on his side.
"Go to bed after eating. If you continue like this, you will die of fat." Liu Xiu's eyes fell on the memorial and he murmured dissatisfiedly.
Heimao looked up at him and continued to lie on his side.
Liu Xiu approved three more memorials in a row, then asked Zhang Kun to get a set of relatively tight-fitting clothes, changed them, waved to Heimao and said, "Okay, I'll take you out for a run!"
Weiyang Palace has two layers of inner and outer walls. Between the two layers of walls, there is a "kou"-shaped road. This circle of roads is Sima Road.
Sima Road is very wide, almost tens of meters long, and is divided into four roads: east, south, west and north. There are two district houses built on each Sima Road. The palace guards live in the district houses.
Liu Xiu led Heimao to Sima Road and said, "Today is the first day, let's run around along Sima Road!"
The battle at Zhongling Mountain made Liu Xiu realize that his physical strength was no longer what it used to be. If he stayed in the palace all day long without exercising or exercising, his body would slowly wear away even if he had eaten the best holy treasures.
.
Now Liu Xiu felt a sense of crisis in his heart, so he asked Heimao to accompany him for a lap on Sima Road.
The distance this lap is not short, it is equivalent to running around the Weiyang Palace.
Understanding Liu Xiu's intention, Heimao looked very excited. He grabbed forward with his two front paws and kicked back with his two back paws, stretching his body very long.
Liu Xiu also stretched his muscles, jumped up and down, did a simple warm-up, and said to Heimao on the side: "It's begun!"
As he spoke, he ran out first. Due to the long distance, Liu Xiu did not use all his strength and ran forward at a constant speed, but the speed was also very fast. He ran more than a hundred meters away. When he looked back, the black-haired man
Still stretching in place!
He smiled and continued running forward. There were patrolling guards passing by. When they saw Liu Xiu running at night, they all stepped in and saluted.
Liu Xiu was running when he heard the clatter of footsteps behind him. When he looked back, he saw black hair coming straight towards him like a black lightning bolt.
In terms of speed, there is no animal on land that can run faster than a leopard. In just a few seconds, it can reach a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour, and its explosive power is astonishing.
One person and one leopard were running on the Sima Road of the palace. Many guards who had been resting in the district house couldn't help but run out after hearing the news and stood on both sides of the Sima Road to watch.
When Liu Xiu and Heimao had already ran over, the stunned people came to their senses and quickly stepped in to salute.
After running around for a while, both Liu Xiu and Heimao were out of breath. As they returned to Qingliang Hall, Liu Xiu said: "If I practice for another three to five days, I will definitely be faster than you!"
Black Hair's explosive power is very strong, and it accelerates instantly, as fast as lightning, but its sustained power is not strong. When running long distances, its speed is far not as fast as when it explodes.
The leopard turned to look at Liu Xiu, licked his paws, and looked disapproving.
"Haha!" Liu Xiu sneered twice and said, "I'll let you be proud for two days."
In the next three days, Liu Xiu dealt with government affairs almost all day long. In the evening, after dinner, he took Heimao out for a night run. Dahua and Ermao spent most of their time in Lanlin Hall, and occasionally visited Qingliang Hall.
Look at Liu Xiu.
When they arrive at Qingliang Hall, they are basically passing by. The place they really want to go to is Cangchi.
Dahua and Ermao both like water, especially when the weather is hot. The two tigers spend almost all day in Cangchi, swimming around and having a great time.
In contrast, Black Hair hates water very much and spends most of the day sleeping in the shade.
After working hard for these days, Liu Xiu finally finished dealing with all the pressing memorials. Finally, the mountain that was weighing on him was lifted, and Liu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.
On this day, Liu Xiu and Xin Linglu were sitting in Qingliang Hall playing chess.
Xin Linglu is a Taoist, her chess style is also very Buddhist, and her offensive awareness is not strong. When the two play chess, Liu Xiu often takes Liu Xiu's lead, and she takes hers, which makes Liu Xiu laugh and cry.
The two had just played one set and were about to play the second set when Zhang Kun came in to report and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Jingshu wants to see you."
Hearing that Lian Jingshu was here, the corners of Liu Xiu's mouth naturally raised. In terms of chess skills, Lian Jingshu had to be the best. He said with a smile: "Yes."
Not long after, Lian Jingshu was brought into Qingliang Hall by Zhang Kun.
Seeing Liu Xiuzheng and a beautiful woman sitting next to the chessboard, Lian Jingshu couldn't help but be startled, but her expression was still calm. She saluted Liu Xiufu and said, "Jingshu has met Your Majesty!"
Liu Xiu looked at Lian Jingshu, waved her hands, and said with a smile: "Jingshu, please get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lian Jingshu stood up and glanced at Xin Linglu. When she saw Lian Zixuan standing next to Xin Linglu, she looked surprised. When Liu Xiu saw this, he was curious
Asked: "Jingshu, do you know Zixuan?"
This is not impossible, after all, the surname Lian is not very common, and both of them have the surname Lian.
Before Lian Jingshu could speak, Lian Zixuan saluted Liu Xiufu and said, "Your Majesty, Jingshu is Zixuan's cousin."
"Oh?" Liu Xiu really didn't expect that there was such a relationship between the two of them. The Lian family hooked up with Liu Kai. Although Liu Kai didn't have a title, he was a relative of the Liu family after all, and he had a big tree like Liu Kai.
Can you rely on Lian Zheng, Lian Zixuan, brother and sister? Do you still need to live in the world?
Lian Zixuan explained: "Your Majesty, Zixuan's father is a commoner, and his relationship with the master's family... is not very good."
After hearing what she said, Liu Xiu understood immediately.
Just looking at Mrs. Liu Kai's attitude towards Lian Jingshu, the concubine's sister, you can feel the Lian family's attitude towards the legitimate concubine. Lian Zixuan's father is a concubine, so it is normal for him to be rejected by Lian Jingshu's father, a legitimate son.
