Imperial Favour - Chapter 41
There was a moment of silence in the room, and even the smoke burning in the golden furnace was silent, leaving only her slightly dissatisfied complaint.
Huo Qiu put his chin on the top of her hair, his eyes were deep and indisputable, his sword eyes were like knives, and after a while he bowed his head and turned along her delicate jaw without saying a word.
Tang Zhuozhuo glanced at him as if angered, fiddled with the crystal on the tip of his nails, and said: “I thought that your highness was distressed by the concubine.
A faint smile glided across Huo Qiu’s eyes, and she almost replied.
“Why not just tell Gu directly?”
He has always had no reason to speak of in her. If she is really anxious today and she doesn’t explain, wouldn’t the situation between the two of them eased a little bit again?
Tang Zhuozuo moved his wrist slightly and got up from the man’s arms, with delicate eyebrows like the fascinating goblin in the portrait. At this moment, her eyebrows were slightly frowned: “The concubine is too lazy. You don’t care about bad things, but Wang Yi The concubine is so teasing, it is natural to teach some lessons.”
As for why he was reinstated as an official, the man who wanted to come had already recalled, and she didn’t need her explanation.
On the contrary, it was Huo Qiu’s reaction, which made her a little uncertain. It’s hard to see displeasure, but it’s not really good looking.
At this moment, the man was lying on his back with a lazy look, and he didn’t know how much he believed her.
“His Royal Highness…”
She called out softly, looking at him with open eyes.
The slight awkwardness in Huo Qiu’s heart slowly dissipated. He had always been very careful about Tang Zhuozhuo, and even if he was relieved to know Tang Zhuozhuo’s meaning, he always felt uncomfortable.
He didn’t want to hear that person’s name from Tang Zhuozhuo’s mouth anymore.
“Jiaojiao is planning to let him lead troops to garrison Mobei?” Huo Qiu’s eyes fell on the sachet thrown by her, the delicate rusty surface was stained with a thin layer of ash.
Tang Zhuozuo just wanted to nod, and saw him shook his head.
“Mobei has its own arrangements. Wang Yi must stay in the capital.”
You must die in Kyoto!
Although Mobei is dangerous, but the emperor is far away, no one knows how he is there. Although his life is in danger, he is easy to survive from extinction. Such a person is better to toss under the nose.
Tang Zhuozuo frowned suddenly and didn’t understand what he was thinking, but she also knew that even if she didn’t get involved in Huo Qiu, Wang Yi would not make Wang Yi feel better. She sighed in her heart and nodded in response.
“His Royal Highness is the master.”
This huge house soon welcomed the first visitor to the door. It was Zhu Yuan, the king of Nanping who was dragged by his son, and Zhu Lu, who had no energy with a gray head and a face.
When Tang Zhuozuo got the news, he was holding small scissors to trim the branches and leaves of the roses in the garden. Hearing the words, he asked casually, “Here to make amends?”
Li Desheng was ordered by Huo Qiu to invite this person over. Unexpectedly, this person was quite calm after hearing this, as usual as a sip of water.
Although this prince of Nanping has no weight, but his father, the king of Nanping, is a real prince, even his Royal Highness has to give a bit of face.
Tang Zhuozhuo closed his eyes, waved his hand lightly, and said, “I don’t feel well in this palace. I don’t want to let the wind chill on my prince and son, so I won’t go.”
Li Desheng was dumbfounded.
In the study, a chess game was set up, with Huo Qiu and King Nanping on their sides, each with a sharp edge and a calmness, each with its own merits.
Li Desheng came in, bowed his body and reported: “His Royal Highness, the empress is afraid that the prince and the prince will be affected by the cold, and only said that she will repay the prince and make amends in the future.”
At this moment, the white writing in Huo Qiu’s hand fell, and after a slight noise, he frowned slightly, waved his hand at Li Desheng, and said, “I have accepted.”
The king of Nanping concentrated slightly, and when he looked at the game on the chessboard, it was clear that the outcome was clear. He rubbed his hands and laughed loudly: “His Royal Highness is unparalleled in chess, and the old minister is willing to go down.
“Where is the prince?”
The king of Nanping was upright, and he didn’t feel embarrassed at the moment, so he pulled Zhu Lu over and said: “It’s true that you don’t want to conceal your Highness. This kid has used family law to teach him. As for the concubine and Zhou family, I have nothing to do with Nanping Prince’s Mansion. ”
To be upright, there are a lot of things that should be cleared away. I don’t have to drag myself into the water for a small concubine who has no color and a merchant who has no vision.
It’s still such a delicate moment.
Zhu Lu hated to death in his heart, Zhou Qin’s appearance of pear blossoms with rain still appeared in his mind from time to time. He had been wandering for so many years, and finally met a caring woman who was forced to smash her in such a humiliating way. Driven out of the house and spread to Kyoto, is he shameless?
He squeezed his fist tightly, the smile on his face was stiff, and he didn’t have the gentle appearance of Young Master Pian Pianjia.
Tang Zhuozuo, the woman, don’t fall into the hands of his Nanping Prince’s Mansion, otherwise she will be called back one by one!
Huo Qiu has been practicing martial arts all the year round and is very sensitive to hostility. He frowned at the moment and said to the Nanping King: “Since the prince said so, it is natural that it is not good for Gu to continue to investigate it. This matter will be exposed.”
King Nanping breathed a sigh of relief. He also knew that Huo Qiu was warning the Nanping Palace because of this. Before leaving, he couldn’t help but said: “If your Highness needs it, Nanping Palace will be dispatched by His Highness.”
That’s exactly what Huo Qiu said.
On the way back, Zhu Lu looked at the gloomy mansion and was furious, and said, “Father, this is not our fault!”
There was a wind blowing at the feet of the Nanping King, and his expression did not change a bit. He just asked symbolically: “Why do you see it?”
“That Zhou Jian was lustful, but there is no reason for the concubine to go down with him?”
Not even the princess!
“Moreover, the news from Kyoto is that the princess went to the temple to pray for blessing. It can be seen that Tang Zhuozhuo can’t see it. We don’t need to come here!
As long as the prince grasps this matter, the prince will also be afraid of three points!
Nanping Wang’s face was gloomy, his beard curled up and he didn’t want to look at his stupid aunt, until he got into the carriage, he yelled, “Idiot!”
Zhu Lu was stunned by the scolding. As soon as he was about to answer his lips, he heard the Nanping King caress the black stubble and said: “Who can’t think of what you want?”
“Do you think this Xijiang is a good place with beautiful scenery and many beautiful people? How many pairs of eyes are staring here? Do you know? All of them are honest with their tails, just say that the little Houye who is hanging out with you is still jumping these days Isn’t that better than you?”
Zhu Lu refreshed, thinking about the abnormalities of Xijiang a little bit in the past few days, he frowned hesitantly: “It’s all because the prince came to Xijiang?”
He didn’t know anything else, but at the beginning of the year, the sixth prince and the third prince went to Xijiang one after another, and I didn’t see him say anything about eating, drinking, and drinking. Everything was normal.
The king of Nanping simply didn’t want to look at him again, and sighed: “The palace is in your hands, it will be finished sooner or later!”
“Do you really think that the one on the throne is too old?” King Nanping deliberately lowered his voice, his beard was curled up and he looked inexplicably happy, but what he said made people shudder.
Zhu Lu was taken aback for a moment, and then he almost jumped up in shock. His voice was hoarse, shocked and terrified: “You mean your Majesty is here too?”
Nanping Wang was very tired, and didn’t want to take care of his only seedling with worrying IQ.
At the same time, An Xia looked at Tang Zhuozhuo who was leisurely pruning the flowering branches with some worry, and then asked incomprehensibly: “Manny, now the King of Nanping knows that you are out of the palace, what if you are discovered again? ”
Tang Zhuozhao’s movements kept on cutting out a rose that was blooming just right, and seeing that the color was just right, he placed it in the flower basket in Zihuan’s hand, and said, “His Royal Highness is not in a hurry, what are we doing? This flower is pretty good. I will cut a few more flowers and bring them to the west wing.”
Life in this house was too boring, and men didn’t have much time, so she had to go with Ye’s tea to study her mouth fat, spend a little time and inquire about the news.
She was always curious about Liu Hanjiang’s family.
This house is huge, it can be regarded as two houses on the east and west sides, and they are very distinct.
When Tang Zhuozuo arrived with the maid, Ye clan was already waiting by the stone table, and even Liu Xiaoxiao was too well-behaved.
“Please peace with your mother.” Liu Xiaoxiao blessed her body along with Ye’s family. Tang Zhuozhuo smiled and touched the two braids in her hand, her brows softened.
“Madam is still used to living here?”
Ye clan smiled shyly, took Liu Xiaoxiao’s little fat hand and wiped it, and said: “Everything is fine, my mother bothered.”
Tang Zhuozhuo took a sip of the tea on the table, his movements were slightly blocked, and a strange light ran through his eyes.
“What kind of tea is this? The taste is different from the others.” She still smiled on her face, but the fingers holding the cup were a little white, indicating the mood swings in her heart.
Ye’s smile was gentle, the moon-white clothes made her as soft as water. She lifted the lid of the tea, looked at the weird tea leaves floating inside, pursing her lips and said: “My lady has good eyesight, this tea is made with a special method. To grow, drink for a long time to regulate the body, and the internal supplement is insufficient.”
Tang Zhuozuo’s expression was a little subtle for a while, but Ye clan continued: “There is no such kind of tea in Kyoto, and the concubine’s method of making tea was also learned from his master.”
Ye’s eyes were too gentle and clear, Tang Zhuozhao rubbed his eyebrows, not knowing how to speak.
She has drunk this tea too many times. Her body, which was not more than twenty years old, relied on such medicinal materials to make up for it.
Ye’s took a sip of the tea in his hand, and the corners of his eyebrows were smiling: “My master is good at acupuncture and moxibustion, and he is also good at making tea. He just said that I am weak in temper, so he wouldn’t teach me how to save people with acupuncture. .”
A dark color flashed in Tang Zhuozhuo’s eyes, followed by a chuckle, knowing that the purpose of Ye’s words was to test her.
Feeling the strong helplessness in Ye’s words, Tang Zhuozuo also drank a sip of tea and sighed inwardly. Jiang Jianxi’s temperament was there, and she would not teach if she didn’t teach, just like she was so soft and hard to learn. Like tea, he dismissed himself when he was not calm enough.
But she and Ye’s are indeed completely different temperaments.
“That day, when my husband talked about acupuncture and moxibustion technique of the empress, the wife wondered in my heart whether she should call her sister.”
Ye’s voice was more than gentle, but every word was very clear. After speaking, he raised his eyes to look at Tang Zhuozuo.
Tang Zhuozuo took a deep breath, lowered his eyes helplessly, took a sip of a familiar taste, and moved his lips: “I heard him say that Senior Sister Hui Zhilan is extremely smart, and now I know what he is. It’s true.”
Both of them knew who he was referring to.
As a result, the original plan to grind the mouth fat didn’t work out. Tang Zhuozhuo pulled Ye’s doctor’s book for the whole afternoon, and then slowly drew the appearance of the grass, and finally did not go in vain.
With such a level of identity, the communication between Ye clan and Tang Zhuozhao also relaxed a lot.
Back at the Youqu Pavilion in the evening, Tang Zhuozhuo still had a faint smile on his face, lying on the rocking chair and watching the starry sky outside, humming and humming an unknown little song.
Huo Qiu and Liu Hanjiang both left the house, and Ye’s came to find her with fruit wine. They both had a good drink, and they went back to the house to sleep until late at night.
Tang Zhuozuo stayed asleep until the next day on the pole before turning over and woke up in a daze. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the man sitting upright at the desk with a light breeze, and she blinked. Blinked.
Huo Qiu did not raise his head after hearing the movement, his handsome face collapsed tightly, and his brows did not relax for a moment.
Tang Zhuozuo was waited on by the maid to change his clothes and wash. When the breakfast was served, he was still dizzy. He covered his lips and yawned and walked to Huo Qiu’s side. Without speaking, he moved and sat on a soft stool. The left hand side.
Huo Qiu turned the pages of the book more and more slowly, after all, he was disturbed by this little thing.
“Dare to drink…” He raised his eyes and drank, only halfway through the words, when Tang Zhuozhuo hooked his waist and rubbed him over. The woman’s body was as soft as boneless, and she knew she had done something wrong. He hummed like a cat on his shoulder.
Huo Qiu’s eyebrows jumped and he took a hard breath.
Here again!
However, His Royal Highness was helpless about this. After stiffening for a while, he stretched out his hand and rubbed her smooth forehead: “Are you suffering from sin now?”
Tang Zhuozhuo nodded, looking a little weaker than Xi Zi’s heart.
Huo Qiu looked at her like this, stuck in her throat and couldn’t send it out. He pondered for a moment and said, “Then I won’t take you to the auction house today.”
Sure enough, the little head on his shoulders moved suddenly, and the next moment the woman became energetic, and his wet eyes made his heart move.
“Your Highness, my concubine is going.”
“If you go to your concubine, your body will be very good, very good.”
It is not the first time that the wise Prince of Shenwu has seen her face-changing skills, but he still almost laughed.
With such a rogue appearance, how can there be any kind of maternal style? It happened to pinch herself so hard that she put all her heart on her body.
Tang Zhuozuo’s eyes brightened where he couldn’t see it, like two hot little suns, if Huo Qiu didn’t mention it, she would almost have forgotten such a thing.
There is only one auction site in Xijiang. It is auctioned every January. It is full of antiques from the past. The truth and falsity depend on luck and eyes. It is not uncommon for ordinary people to pick up and lose overnight.
But this is such an auction house. At this time in the previous life, a small wooden hairpin was sold. The wooden core in this wooden hairpin has gone through thousands of years. It can relieve headaches, prolong life, and cure poison. Even Emperor Qiong Yuan only had it in his hands. Such a small piece can be seen in its preciousness.
