Imperial Favour - Chapter 75
For several days in a row, Zhu Liu was kept in her account by Tang Zhuozuo, and no one dared to bother her all day long enjoying the flowers and making tea.
When Mu Ge was told that the county lord was in the Queen’s tent for the third time, he politely thanked him and walked back. This time even his steps were much lighter than when he came.
The autumn hunt was about to end. Zhu Liu didn’t come out for a few days after hiding like this. He seemed to be really dead on the roof of the house.
Thinking of this, Mu Ge felt a little relieved.
The maid beside me didn’t understand the reason, she lowered her voice and asked, “Girl, what can we do if we can’t see the county owner now?”
Mu Ge hooked her lips, in a long skirt with loose black hair, smiling innocently and harmlessly. She tilted her head to look at the tent in the distance and whispered softly, “I can’t see it, and Khan can’t see it either. .”
As long as the two do not see each other, and when the marriage of the Liuli county lord is certain, she can rest assured.
When the last three days of the hunt were left, Tang Zhuozhuo ordered Zhu Liu to be returned to her tent, and he listened to Zihuan leaning in her ear and said: “Niang, Grandpa Li is here.”
Tang Zhuozuo’s eyes flashed with a few faint smiles before he waved his hand, and Li Desheng picked up the curtain and walked in with a smile.
“It’s still warm here.” Li Desheng shook the dust, and his slightly rounded face looked particularly festive.
“Father-in-law said, can the emperor be warm there?” Tang Zhuozhuo raised his eyebrows, and asked with a smile, his delicate face glowing like a jade at night.
Li Desheng laughed a few times. According to him, the emperor did not pay attention to the master’s account. The master came to the moon a few days ago, and every time he shouted, he would add more carbon fires and heaters that hurt the account.
“The emperor is finished?”
Li Desheng nodded hurriedly, and said with a smile: “I have only finished approving Zhezi, no, call the servant to come and invite my mother to eat dinner.”
Through the window with only a small opening, Tang Zhuozuo saw the sky that was completely dark outside, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked, “When is this? The emperor hasn’t eaten yet?”
Li Desheng just nodded and did not speak, Tang Zhuozhuo knew it in his heart. Emperor Chongjian was a good emperor who loved his people like a child, but he didn’t care enough about his own body. He often had to frown and review before he was willing to eat and rest until late at night.
Outside the emperor’s tent, there were rows of guards standing upright. The long swords they wore were glowing in the moonlight with a chilling spine. When Tang Zhuozhuo stepped forward, the man was sitting on a chair rubbing his eyebrows with an expression. It couldn’t be more cold.
Xu Shi listened to her footsteps, Huo Qiu opened his eyes and said to Li Desheng: “Thank you, let me cook a few more dishes that the queen likes.”
Tang Zhuozuo walked up to him a few steps, caught a glimpse of his fatigue hidden deep between his brows, stretched out his fingers to rub him a few times, and couldn’t help complaining in a low voice: “The concubine and the emperor said If you pass, your body is important. It’s only a few days before the emperor is just a breeze.”
If this goes on for a long time, even the body of martial arts can not stand it!
The little girl came to his shoulders a little bit, a little tender ball, she was worried when she rubbed her eyebrows, and her ears were soft complaints, and Huo Qiu grabbed her in. In his arms, he smiled and responded, “Next time I will pay more attention.”
I said I would pay more attention to it, but in fact, I still do it every time.
Tang Zhuo was so angry, he snorted, and then said: “If you don’t ask people to prepare two medicinal meals every day after tomorrow, not only the concubines will drink, but the emperor will also take care of them.”
When Li Desheng came in with two cups of tea, he heard this, his heart trembled, and his pace slowed down.
This master is really daring to say anything, and he doesn’t look at who is standing in front of him. I am afraid that no one in this world dares to speak to your majesty like this.
Emperor Chongjian couldn’t stand it. He narrowed his eyebrows and caught Tang Zhuo’s tender little finger. No matter how hard his words were, he would be softened by seven points.
Tang Zhuozuo turned away and whispered to him: “I left a few days ago, why does your Majesty always ask this?”
Isn’t it because she was terribly scared by her appearance in those few days?
Because it is on the grassland, most of the food is game, which removes the fishy smell and tastes fresh but not greasy.
Tang Zhuozuo was much quieter when eating than when he was next to him. His white face was hidden under the black hair. When he raised his head, he was really only the size of a palm, and he was so thin.
The tip of Huo Qiu’s heart suddenly seemed to be pierced by a needle. He put a piece of tender meat in Tang Zhuozhuo’s bowl, and was pulled aside by her without speaking, just not eating.
Seeing the man frowning slowly, Tang Zhuozhuo wiped his hands and raised his head. His eyes were black and white, and they had innocent expressions. However, they were robbed of the limelight by the tears in the corners of his eyes and the flowers on the center of the eyebrows. The stocks are too beautiful.
“The concubine doesn’t eat this, it smells like oil.” She wiped the corners of her mouth with her kerchief, and said softly.
Huo Qiu was about to ask her not to be picky eaters, and saw that the little woman had come to the front and played with the sachet on his waist. When she reached her throat, she changed her meaning abruptly: “Tomorrow, I will change my head. Light fresh tricks?”
Tang Zhuozhuo smiled triumphantly and made no secret of it, only Huo Qiu sighed inwardly.
Knowing that she was arrogant and arrogant, not only did she not have the idea of reprimanding her, she even wanted to give it more to her.
I don’t know if it was poisoned or this woman is too good at it.
After a moment of trouble, Tang Zhuozuo became a little sleepy, and Huo Qiu half-wrapped in his arms, lazily, and said in a low voice: “Counting the time, Liuli’s marriage should also be set. The emperor feels that Khan and Qingyuan Hou Shizi are two. Who is better?”
“Qingyuan Hou Shizi.” After a long silence, Huo Qiu spit out these five words.
Tang Zhuo was dumb, and laughed a moment later, and said, “The concubine also felt that Qingyuan waited for her son to be better, the house was clean, and her temper was gentler, but the girl next to Khan was not very honest, she looked like something would happen.”
Huo Qiu curled his lips, tucked the girl’s long hair behind him, and said in a dumb voice, “Jiaojiao has never been so concerned about me.”
The concubine in the palace, as long as she didn’t provoke her, she wouldn’t even look at it at a glance. Some time ago, she even took the initiative to clarify the draft for him.
This would be short-term, for fear that others would bully the Liuli County Master.
Huo Qiu’s eyes were deep, stroking her smooth long hair, until his arms were a little numb, and he laughed.
What is he doing?
Looking down, the squeamish bag in his arms half-opened and half-closed, and occasionally snorted softly, but it was sleepy.
In the early morning of the second day, Tang Zhuozuo got up very early, because the noise outside was really loud.
An Xia and Zihuan came in carrying the washbasin. Tang Zhuozuo rinsed his mouth and cleaned his face, listening to the noisy voice outside and asked, “Why is it so noisy today?”
A small window was opened in the tent, and when I looked out, I could see the blue sky, not even a cloud. The sun came out early, bringing some warmth in this weather.
“Niang Niang, there is a riding competition today where both male guests and female family members can play. It was so lively early in the morning.
“I heard that both the emperor and the queen dowager will play in person.”
The news had already spread between the maid and the young servant who were serving underneath. An Xia only listened to a few words roughly, and when Tang Zhuozuo asked about it, he answered like this.
Tang Zhuozhuo picked a pear-shaped flower tint and stuck it on his forehead. The woman reflected in the bronze mirror was slender and graceful. A small face could not be more delicate. The scorching moles of tears contrasted with each other, so charming that they could drip out.
Hearing these words at this moment, she couldn’t help but pause for the movements in her hand. Some hesitating felt that she had listened to the left, “The Queen Mother will also play?”
Such an event, if Guan Shi went to see a lively event, she would naturally believe it, but if he said he was going to play in person, it sounded unreal.
Just when she was suspicious, Li Desheng’s apprentice next to Li Chang came in. Seeing that she was already awake, he said in a courtesy: “Mother, the emperor called you to the racecourse.”
Even if she doesn’t come here often, she will naturally go there too. Such excitement is rare.
When she arrived, she saw Guan, who was sitting next to Huo Qiu, who was dressed a little plainly. The latter had a gentle smile in her eyes, but the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes could not be covered.
Time is not forgiving, just a few months of effort is like putting more than ten years in the deep palace on her body. Tang Zhuozuo looked at it, wondering what it was like.
But no matter how it was not a taste, it was not easy to show it in front of people, she couldn’t be more natural to bow, and before she could say anything, she was held by Guan’s hand and looked at it for a while.
“How is Jiaojiao’s body better? The emperor hid so tightly a while ago, and the Ai family didn’t even see it.”
Tang Zhuozhuo’s face slowly rose a little red, and she explained in a low voice: “It’s just a small problem.
Huo Qiu didn’t lift his eyelids. He just turned the jade finger on his thumb and said indifferently: “It’s just time for the queen to start the competition.”
Following the man’s gaze, most of the girls standing on the huge track were young ladies who had not left the pavilion. The smiles on their faces were brighter than the sun in the sky, and they were very youthful and energetic.
It’s been a long time since Tang Zhuozuo saw such a scene. At first glance, Tang Zhuozuo felt a bit different.
These people are as fresh and tender as the first ray of light in the morning, and more like flower bone flowers still trembling with dew and revealing fragrance.
In contrast, he seemed to be old, he was only nineteen years old.
Zhu Liu, who was standing at the front, seemed to be aware of something, turned his head and glanced at her, then pursed her lips quietly, and followed the ladies behind to meet them.
Zhu Liu wore a moon-white clothes today, with long hair like thick ink tied into a tall ponytail. His figure was slender and graceful, and his eyebrows were as far away as the mountains, so that Ji Han and the roof of the house were slightly brighter. Closed eyes.
Guan’s face was prudent and generous, but even when he turned his head, he whispered to Tang Zhuozuo, “Jiaojiao looks at the emperor’s face, so gloomy as anything else. In fact, I just want you to praise him. He will wait for a while. To play.”
Guan’s voice said it was big or small, Huo Qiu’s face trembled and he slowly closed his eyes.
They shouldn’t be called together.
Tang Zhuozhuo endured forbearance, but still couldn’t bear to stay in the dark and curled the corners of his lips. Taking advantage of the glance of the people below, he looked at the female relatives, moved a few steps to the man’s side, and exclaimed in a low voice, “Emperor riding That’s it, you will definitely be able to shine and win the championship in one fell swoop.”
