Imperial Favour - Chapter 29
Tang Zhuozuo returned to Yiqiu Hall before the dusk fell because he was about to set off to Xijiangdi on the second day. As soon as he entered, he saw An Xia replaced the fragrant roses that were originally inserted in the temple with water and dew. In the rose season, the hall suddenly became bright.
Zihuan supported her to rest on the soft couch while handing a cup of warm tea.
Tang Zhuozhuo let out a breath, relaxed, and didn’t even want to open his eyes.
“Everything is packed?” She rubbed her forehead and asked, her voice slightly tired.
Isn’t it fair and honest that she went to Xijiang with Huo Qiu, she had to steal it, she couldn’t show her face, so the people who knew it were also two grand ladies. The rest of the waiters just thought she was packing up and preparing to go to the temple. Up.
Zi Huan nodded, and replied softly: “Niang Niang, everything is packed.”
Actually nothing.
After that, she leaned in Tang Zhuozhuo’s ear and said a few more words. The latter’s originally lazy face slowly formed a smile, and a strange light flashed under her eyes, and said playfully: “She still has the guts? ”
In contrast, Zihuan was very worried, looking at the appearance of her master without any panic, a little anxious, and said: “Manny, we have to guard against!”
“Um…” Tang Zhuozhuoyu put his cheeks in his hands, set off a face that was more than Huajiao, and said slightly innocently: “We can say that this matter is unfounded, it’s better to tell your Highness.”
She raised Yang Yu’s hand, her voice was crisp with an imperceptible chill: “Send someone to the main hall for a walk.”
Huo Qiu, who had just left the study to take a bath, frowned after hearing Zhang Desheng’s request.
“The princess sent someone to say it?” The light in his eyes was a little deep, and he immediately asked with dissatisfaction: “Why didn’t you see her by herself?”
The smile on Zhang Desheng’s face was stagnant, and then he tentatively said: “The lady just came this afternoon…”
After all, he couldn’t continue, under Huo Qiu’s gaze, he silently shut up.
When the master heard that the prince was not here, his face looked cold!
In the past, when the two were irritated and awkward, the prince became angry at every turn, but after this reconciliation, his complexion is not much better!
Huo Qiu turned a small string of Buddhist beads in his hand, his expression changed slightly.
“Let’s go.”
Zhang Desheng flicked a whisk to follow, “His Royal Highness, are we going to Yiqiu Palace?”
“Go to Yuxi Palace.”
The night is like an endless black cloth, without letting go of any corner, the bright palace in the day has converged its light, becoming silent and restrained.
When Huo Qiu and others arrived at Yuxi Palace, Zhong Yuxi announced dinner. Hearing the orders from the servants, he couldn’t tell the truth from the false for a while.
It was Su’er who called her softly before she was relieved. The joy on her face could hardly be hidden, but she still went out of the inner hall to greet her with extreme solemnity.
Not unlucky in my heart.
Tang Zhuozuo really couldn’t grasp the man’s heart. His Royal Highness just took a look at her good skin, and the freshness passed, didn’t he come to her palace?
“My concubine, please peace.” She steadily blessed her body, her voice was a little greasy.
Huo Qiu responded coldly and strode ahead.
The fragrance in Yuxi Palace was scented, and Huo Qiu’s eyebrows became more and more tight as soon as he entered it as if he had fallen into the flowers.
Fortunately, after entering the inner hall, the scent of vegetables on a table slightly covered the scent. Zhong Yuxi followed behind him and asked in the softest voice: “His Royal Highness, do you want to eat together?”
Huo Qiu glanced at her face with delicate makeup and nodded indifferently.
He said it was a meal, but in fact he stopped after only a few chopsticks. As soon as he stopped, Zhong Yuxi naturally didn’t dare to eat again.
The man’s body became more chilly, and Zhong Yuxi also noticed something was wrong. He courageously stepped forward and rubbed his forehead, kneading it in circles, and then tentatively asked: “Where is your highness unhappy?”
The fragrance on the woman’s body was a bit heavy. Huo Qiu closed his eyes and felt that he had fallen into the pile of rouge. Her body was full of gouache smell, and he said in a deep voice, “I will change the fragrance in the temple tomorrow. It smells very unpleasant.”
It’s better to be a little faceless and skinny. His body is full of a delicate fragrance, as if it radiates from the body, and there is no need for such a vulgar fragrance.
Thinking of this, Huo Qiu moved his body slightly, becoming more impatient with Zhong Yuxi.
The smile on Zhong Yuxi’s face stiffened, and he responded gently.
Seeing that the time was almost up, she boldly leaned close to his body, took a deep breath and hooked the corner of his clothes, her expression was shy and timid, and her eyes were silky.
But Huo Qiu stood up, tapped his long fingers on the table impatiently, and said: “Zhong, Gu came here today to tell you something.”
“Gu Mingri will be close to the mansion for a month, and you have a higher position in the mansion, so you will be in charge of the East Palace.”
Did she actually hand over the management of Donggong to her?
Zhong Yuxi’s breathing was stagnant, and he was overjoyed, but at any rate he still had some sense, and asked quietly in Spanish, carefully weighing and probing: “Then…the crown princess and empress…”
After all, the identity is there, why she has to ask symbolically.
It can’t be said that the stupid woman Tang Zhuozuo is too domineering, and has already provoked the unpleasantness of His Highness, otherwise, where does she have the authority to manage affairs?
The more Zhong Yuxi thought about it, the more reasonable it made sense, and then thought about the plight that his brother is facing now, and pursed her lips.
Now that the Zhong family is not looking good, she must fight for the prince to pity the elder brother for a chance.
Huo Qiu stood with his hands in his hands, and his broad sleeves were hooked with auspicious clouds and cranes with gold threads. He remembered a woman who was very petite, squeamish and lazy, and she was lying on her chest and complaining. Gradually softened.
His woman, he naturally wants to take it with him. If you don’t bring it, I don’t know how she would be upset.
“The prince will go with the lonely, you don’t need to worry about this.”
Zhong Yuxi’s face turned gray suddenly, his eyes turned red immediately, and he twisted his handkerchief and said: “Concubine…concubine…”
Your Highness must bring Tang Zhuozuo when going out on errands? In January’s work, she waited close to each other day by day, but she stayed in the East Palace and couldn’t meet with His Highness. Who knew what would happen during that time?
She wants to follow too!
Huo Qiuduo glanced at her, saw through her thoughts, pursed her lips, and said with a slight warning: “It is a business to take the princess alone. It is called the princess to pray to the Buddha. If anyone leaks the wind, he is lonely. Not to be merciless.”
There were tears in Zhong Yuxi’s eyes suddenly, with a pitiful look, I saw pity, even though I was extremely reluctant, I still said: “Then your Highness and the empress must be careful, the concubine must be secretive for the empress.”
After that, she added another sentence, “The concubine will never cause trouble to Your Highness.”
Huo Qiu nodded in satisfaction, and looked at her condescendingly. After a long while, he turned the Yuban and pointed out: “When Gu comes back, you will find a position for your brother.”
People like Zhong Yuxi always have to give a sweet date to be obedient.
Sure enough, Zhong Yuxi’s eyes brightened, and with Huo Qiu’s assurance, the big rock in her heart fell to the ground.
She knows the talent and virtue of her brother better than anyone else. She will become a great weapon in time, and only with the help of her brother can she have more confidence in the backyard.
Just like Tang Zhuozuo, it is because there is a Tang family behind him that he can live so smartly.
Zhong Yuxi was blessed and said, “Your Highness, thank you.”
Huo Qiu looked at her coldly, seeing the darkness of the night, he adjusted the jade card on his waist, and his thin lips opened slightly: “I have something to do with loneliness, let’s go.”
When the man’s tall back disappeared into the dark night, Zhong Yuxi slumped on the soft stool, tears falling down.
Su’er wiped off the kerchief for her, and she finally had a reaction. She swept away all the food on the table, making her chest jump with anger, and her head sore.
His Highness simply came to inform her, and by the way, she kept her mouth tight to Tang Zhuozuo, but she couldn’t refuse.
Su’er knelt on the ground, her expression earnestly persuading: “The empress must not be upset. The servants think this is not a bad thing either.”
Seeing Zhong Yuxi looking over, she went on to say: “Mother, you think, once your Highness and the prince go out, it is a good time for you to establish your prestige.”
Zhong Yuxi blinked and smiled slowly, she said in a low voice, and stopped talking.
More than just building prestige? This is a great time to cultivate your own power.
Besides, if she doesn’t say it, it doesn’t mean that the people next to her can’t find it. If she finds it and tells it, she won’t do anything to her.
At this time, in Yiqiu Palace, Tang Zhuozuo drank a bowl of mung bean soup, narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled openly when he heard the news coming from below: “His Royal Highness gave her the authority to manage affairs?”
“Isn’t that what she wanted?”
The summer night was slightly cold like water, but it was not too cold. Tang Zhuozuo’s snow-white ankles jingled with bells, and she fiddled with the colored nails, and said, “What else did your Highness answer her?”
The kneeling little palace lady answered truthfully, but heard the person above her smile softly, very kindly.
Tang Zhuozhao waved his left and right away, thinking deeply.
He was given the right to be in charge and accepted the position of Zhong Yuxi’s brother. Huo Qiu would definitely not do it for himself. He always distinguished his business and personal affairs.
Then there is only one possibility-Huo Qiu thinks of Fu Zhong’s family.
Thinking of the pattern of the court in the previous life, she felt a little headache.
The Zhong family is a century-old home. Although it is now declining, the foundation is still there. Except for one Zhong Yuxi’s superficial eyelids, the rest of the descendants can see the situation clearly. After Zhong Yu was framed once, his memory has increased and his memory has become more and more stable. Be free.
Huo Qiu wanted such an effect.
Sleepless night, when An Xia woke up the next day, Tang Zhuozhuo didn’t close his eyes for a long time. His body was as soft as stepping on cotton. At least he still remembered the picturesque scenery of the Xijiang River. He patiently changed his clothes and washed them. After breakfast, I got on the carriage and went to the temple.
When she set out, Huo Qiu’s carriage had already left the palace.
There are many people in the palace, and they staggered one after another.
When it was outside the palace, the carriage drove smoothly through an unmanned alley and was blocked by several spacious carriages.
Zihuan lifted the curtain of the car and said, “Niang, your highness.”
Tang Zhuozuo was dozing in the car, her eyes could not be opened, the curtain was suddenly opened, white light dangled in front of her eyes, her eyelashes trembled a few times and she opened her eyes.
The man was pure and noble, with sword-like eyebrows. Before she could get up and salute, she was stroked on one cheek by his wide sleeves. The itchiness and crispness spread to the bottom of her heart, and the slight mint smell was very good.
Before she could speak, she was hugged by the man, and immediately bent over and got out of their carriage.
When he was on Huo Qiu’s carriage, Tang Zhuozhuo was blushing before he got up. He was pinned in his arms by the man, and his mellow voice followed: “If I don’t rest, I will sleep for a while. The road of the day.”
Her apricot eyes were wet, her lips covered her lips and she yawned delicately, and the jade card that pulled over the man’s waist made a good voice.
She closed her eyes again, Huo Qiu had her limp body in her arms, and a smile finally flashed across her mouth.
She has been busy during this period of time, and has been sick for two consecutive games. Although she is usually greedy, she is still extremely thin and can blow away with a slender waist.
Huo Qiu gathered her hair hanging on her cheeks, revealing a delicate peach blossom face, the beauty’s breath was blue, obedient and petite, he looked very seriously, as if to carve her into his bones.
He remembered what Liu Hanjiang said yesterday. He was usually too serious and cold. Although she covered it up very well, she was still a little afraid of him.
On this trip to Xijiang, he specifically asked the people underneath to find a picture album, draw a circle of famous scenic spots in Xijiang, and after finishing the matter, he took her around.
Without the big mess tank like Jingcheng, and without the shit-chucking stick like Wang Yi, he must let her take her heart back.
Thinking about this, Huo Qiu stroked the little girl’s pink face again, causing her to grumble with dissatisfaction.
