Imperial Favour - Chapter 73
Tang Zhuozhuo tilted his head and asked, “Is the emperor on the bridge then?”
Huo Qiu’s eyes also fell on the woman on the painting. After a moment, he shook his head and said, “I was talking to Liu Hanjiang in the nearby restaurant.”
Then she fell into the water.
Tang Zhuozuo didn’t understand why he had to paint such a painting, or why he gave it to himself as a birthday gift.
Huo Qiu seemed to penetrate all of her doubts, tapping the table with his long fingers, and the finger on his thumb collided with the table from time to time, making a very small sound.
Half of his face was hidden in the darkness, as if he had fallen into a certain memory, his firm outline was dyed with the light of the candlelight and softened.
Those were his most difficult years.
The seat of the prince was swayed, gentle and solemn on the bright side, hiding his powers behind his back, several times to commit dangers and even poisoning, and finally grew stronger step by step.
He can finally fear no one.
But at that time, I met a teenage girl.
Huo Qiu’s eyes suddenly filled with wind and snow, he curled his lips, his voice was a bit tight, and it sounded no better. “When you married into the East Palace, you always asked me with a cold face whenever you were arguing. What do you think of you?”
Tang Zhuozuo suddenly turned her head and didn’t speak. She did more ridiculous things when she first entered the Eastern Palace than in the previous ten years.
“Shining, in fact, I don’t know, and I don’t know it now.”
Huo Qiu’s expression was a bit complicated, and his eyebrows were furrowed, which was really perplexed.
His well-knotted index finger stroked the face of the woman in the painting, and said, “This is the second time I have seen you.”
“At that time, you were still young, and when you stepped on the first snowfall of winter, your face looked like a palm.”
At that time, he was talking with Liu Hanjiang about the previous affairs, looking at her little back through the window, frowning for an unprecedented time, in such a dangerous place, why is there no one around to follow?
When she fell into the water, he went from the restaurant room to the cold and biting water, but it only took a few breaths, and when she was lying in his arms with her eyes closed, he could clearly understand Feel your heartbeat.
Clamoring for plunder.
Huo Qiu’s voice was a little hoarse, “I put you down then and left. I think about it now, but it’s also because of timidity.”
She always said that she was calm and cold all day long, but she didn’t know how eager he was when he ran down to save her.
It was the first time that Tang Zhuozuo heard the word timidity from this man’s mouth. She dumbed her voice, not knowing how to speak.
Huo Qiu’s eyes melted into the most splendid light. He held Tang Zhuozuo’s trembling hand, smiled and kissed the tears in the corner of her eye. The taste was bitter and astringent, and it seemed to be endless, which made him feel distressed. To the bones.
“Why are you crying? Jiaojiao, why are you crying?”
Why is she crying? In this relationship, he is the one who loses from beginning to end.
Tang Zhuozuo didn’t know what he was crying? It was just listening to his frank timidity, the tip of his nose was sour, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
Huo Qiu held her crying face with makeup, and felt the fine tremors of her body, and sighed dumbly: “Jiaojiao always turns around and talks to me. I only listen to the new people laughing, but the old people cry. Where are the new and old people, I have only been Jiaojiao from beginning to end.”
Once these words were spoken, Tang Zhuozhuo stiffened her body, she raised her head in disbelief, the wind and rain outside, the man’s complexion soft and serious, and the warm fingertips rubbed the back of her hand, repeating: “Always Only Jiaojiao is alone.”
Both her mind and body belonged to her, and from then on there was no room for a second person.
Tang Zhuozhuo’s eyes were still full of water mist, as if he didn’t understand this sentence, he cautiously asked, “The emperor…what does this mean?”
Huo Qiuyuan didn’t even think about telling the story. At this moment, his body was also a little stiff, so he stood up pretending to be calm, and said, “Jiaojiao understands by herself.”
In front of this person, Emperor Chongjian could not count how many times she lowered her head. When she was cold, she was still a treasure in her heart, not to mention the time to behave like a baby with a smile.
Tang Zhuozuo was even more surprised than he was when he was reborn, and he couldn’t believe it.
A generation of emperors sat in the harem, but he plainly told her that the women hadn’t touched any of them, they were all decorations.
Weak water for three thousand, only take a scoop of drink, this is so nice to say, but she never believed it.
The men in the world are the same, no matter how cold-hearted and pure-hearted men are, they just haven’t met a woman who is charming enough. If they do, the wood can also set fire.
But the person who said this today was Huo Qiu!
She couldn’t be more clear that he would not make up such words to deceive her, and it was unnecessary.
Then all the awkwardness she made a while ago, wouldn’t it be a joke?
Tang Zhuozuo called people to come in and wiped his face, Huo Qiu sat on the soft stool by the table, and no one spoke for a while, making the atmosphere a little stagnant.
After everyone went out, Tang Zhuozhuo got up slowly, rolled up the extremely delicate brushwork, and was taken aback when he glanced at the date of the signature.
The time is three years ago today!
On the day of her birthday three years ago, the man had already moved his heart, but she knew nothing about it.
She frowned fiercely, almost about to shed tears again. She shed too many tears in the cold palace in her previous life, so after rebirth, she seemed to have no teardrops to shed.
“How can the emperor make people happy today?” She turned around and stroked his green stubble, feeling a bit pierced, and then hung loosely on him, her two feet dangling restlessly, her mouth Li has always emphasized: “The concubine feels really happy. I have never been so happy.”
She touched Huo Qiu’s chin affectionately with her sweet face, so that men could truly feel her joy.
At the nineteenth birthday, she lived more comfortably than any previous year.
Tang Zhuozuo has spent the past few days mixing oil with honey, but Zhu Liu is simply unlucky.
There is no other reason. She is now married to Ji Han, the elder son of Qingyuan Hou, and is scheduled to go to the horse race with Ji Han under the order of Nanping Princess.
Ji Han was slender and weak, with a smile on his delicate face forever, and his words were polite. Zhu Liu saw at first glance that the man was extremely clean, like a pool of clear water.
Her equestrian skills are unambiguous, and the moment she stepped on her horse back, she said to Ji Han: “Second son, see the real chapter on the field, I won’t release water.”
Ji Han still smiled and said, “It should be this way.”
He has been traveling far for the past few years, and only when he returned to the capital, he asked his father to catch him to the Autumn Hunting Paddock. When I saw the Liuli County Lord today, he didn’t feel too disgusted.
For a woman with such a hearty temperament, it would be nice to marry home.
Wouldn’t it be nice to travel around the world together, watching the mountains and the sunset?
The two set off almost at the same time, Zhu Liu grabbed his mind and ran fast, Ji Han followed her behind her calmly, and when the journey was halfway, Zhu Liu stopped.
There was a black steed at the front, and the man on the horse smiled coldly, like a wild wolf on the grassland. Seeing that both of them had stopped, he hurriedly arrived.
Zhu Liu’s face was cold, her lips pressed and she did not speak.
Ji Han tilted his head and glanced at her, then looked at the Mongolian Khan who was not good at the visitor, then rolled over and dismounted and smiled and pulled Zhu Liu behind him.
The roof curtain squinted his eyes because of this action, and looked up and down the Qingyuan Hou Shizi.
This body looks a bit weaker than a woman, and he is embarrassed to protect Zhu Liu behind?
After two years of absence, Zhu Liu likes this little white face?
Ji Hanquan couldn’t see the aggressive eyes, he smiled cleanly, clasped his fist and said: “I’ve heard the name of Khan for a long time, and I finally saw it today. It really is the posture of the dragon and the phoenix, and his reputation is well-deserved.”
In contrast, the house tower Muyuan could not be so calm. He frowned and skipped the obstructive man directly, and said harshly to Zhu Liu who was standing behind Ji Han, who was so calm and calm: ” come out.”
Zhu Liu was so angry that his body was shaking.
~
She has said so clearly, does this dog man come to interfere with her?
He has done a lot of things on his own, and he can’t take care of his confidantes, but he still has the time to add trouble to her?
Zhu Liu didn’t dare to face him face-to-face for fear of misunderstanding, so he suppressed his heart and said to Ji Han: “My son, let’s go over there.”
She is too old to afford to delay, and she will become an old girl if she doesn’t marry.
Ji Han glanced at the heavier curtain of the house tower and smiled back to her.
The tower curtain was so angry that he laughed, squinting his eyes and threatening coldly: “Liu Li, why don’t I go to see the Emperor of Central Plains now?”
Half of Zhu Liu’s arm stiffened, and he calmly turned his head and said to Ji Han: “The son of the world, let’s go back first, Khan talked to me about something.”
Ji Han paused for a while without asking anything. He still smiled and said good. Seeing that the weather was a bit gloomy, he asked Xiao Si to send a pure white cloak and put it in the hands of Zhu Liu maidservant. : “It’s cold, I’ll tie it to your county chief later.”
Then he lifted his foot to the other direction.
From beginning to end, I didn’t ask a question, let alone shake my face.
Zhu Liu looked back calmly, and after going to an inconspicuous bush, not long afterwards, the tower curtain followed.
She took a deep breath of cold, the wind and snow in her eyes was terrifying, “Tower curtain, what do you want to do?”
“Aren’t you wishing that I would be around you for the rest of my life?” Zhu Liu was really angry, and his green fingers all turned white.
The tower curtain also got angry, and he didn’t understand. Isn’t it better to marry him than to marry the weak and weak Laoshi son?
That little white face who can only do superficial skills.
Zhu Liuwu said to himself, tears almost shed, “I really can’t consume you anymore. The Central Plains woman is no better than the grassland. If you still think of a little bit of what I used to be, don’t bother with me.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the face of the man standing opposite went completely dark. He curled his lips playfully, and asked angrily: “That’s the man you like now?”
Zhu Liu didn’t speak for a while, and such a move fell in the eyes of the roof of the tower, obviously acquiescing.
“Where can such a thin man get in your eyes?” The tower screen sneered, and then his eyes fell on her white tender face, and asked: “Why don’t you bother with you? Now I am all alone in the grassland. Everyone knows that I am here to marry the county lord of the Central Plains. If I can’t take you back, how can I explain it to them?”
