It was as thick as a fog, and quickly surrounded the entire palace, from the tall palaces to the guts of the palace, no one escaped.
Lifting the pearl curtain slightly, the moist beads on it collided with each other, jingling crisply, the maids and eunuchs waiting outside waited silently, the quieter it was inside, the more worried these servants were.
The night in June didn't seem so cold, the ice basin was removed early, the lighting lamps were inlaid with shining turquoise, some wind blew in from the windows, and the sweet fragrance wafted away.
Perhaps it was because Tang Zhuozhuo's clear eyes were full of smiles when he heard the news that he could leave the palace, and even Huo Qiu, who was sitting in the main seat, was very attentive.
Huo Qiu used a few dishes before stopping his chopsticks, frowning in a frowning manner, his sword eyes narrowed slightly, watching Tang Zhuozhuo sip the food into his mouth, a smile gradually appeared on his face.
As soon as Tang Zhuozhuo raised his head, he saw Huo Qiu and Zhang Desheng staring at him without blinking. The former was okay, but the latter couldn't hide his surprised expression.
She gave Huo Qiu a shy smile, then turned her glass-colored almond eyes, and stared arrogantly at Zhang Desheng who was smiling embarrassingly.
What are you doing looking at her like this? How many years have you tried since you went to the cold palace? It's pretty good to be able to do what she does after getting used to leftovers.
Thinking so, he still let out a low snort.
Her white jade-like fingertips rubbed the jade spoon, and the sound of the spoon colliding with the bowl was clear and subtle, breaking the tranquility of the room.
It's embarrassing to eat again.
"Why is Your Highness looking at my concubine like this?" Although she was confident and clear-eyed, she bit her lip and blushed slowly when she met Huo Qiu's indifferent eyes.
Eat a little more... You don't have to look at her so seriously, do you
Seeing the little girl put down the spoon, Huo Qiu pursed his lips with some regret, and his sharp eyes drifted to Li Desheng who was acting as a wooden figure at this moment.
Li Desheng froze immediately, and silently stepped back a few steps.
"I remember that the cakes in your palace are well made." Huo Qiu's eyes stopped on her fat wrist for a while, and he asked casually.
Tang Zhuozhao nodded immediately, and two rounds of dazzling little suns rose in his eyes.
Huo Qiu almost lost his eyes, his eyes became extremely dark.
"My concubine specially asked someone to find a pastry cook yesterday, and he made the cakes that were sent to His Highness this afternoon. Do you want to try again, Your Highness?"
Huo Qiu touched her bright eyes, and suddenly laughed and said: "Yes."
With a look from Tang Zhuozhao, the maid serving beside her realized what she meant, saluted and lifted the curtain and went out.
"I just remember that you used to eat less, but recently... you don't go on a diet anymore?"
Huo Qiu's gaze fell on her palm-sized face, all the way down, over the slender and fair neck, and finally stopped at the uncontrollable slender waist.
She used to be thin, without any flesh on her body, if she went out of the house when the wind was strong, Huo Qiu would suspect that she would be blown away, and he had no idea where the food she ate went.
Tang Zhuozhuo was silent for a while, then lowered his eyes, and the voice flowed into Huo Qiu's ears from her black hair, "I haven't eaten much recently."
Her voice was na na, with a sweet fragrance as thick as honey, Huo Qiu closed his eyes, the subtle sweetness in his heart went down from his throat, and flowed into his limbs, completely out of his control.
It's like following a demon.
She was just a little bit of sweetness, but it made him lose his sense of proportion.
Tang Zhuozhuo put his hand on his chin, revealing a small section of fat-like skin, dazzlingly white, the bracelet on her wrist glowed with a faint green light, the jade set off her bright eyes, her curved eyes squinted into a beautiful shape, He became more and more confident: "Besides, even if the concubine can eat, His Highness can afford it."
Huo Qiu's tall body froze slightly, and then quickly recovered.
If she, Tang Zhuozhuo, wanted to please him, she didn't need any sweet words at all, with just a smile, he could bring the best to her.
His eyes darkened, with the haze of the first storm, mixed with many emotions, and finally turned into a snowy mist that filled the sky and disappeared.
He can no longer trust her.
"Well, I can afford it." Huo Qiu's voice was usually deep and indifferent, which made people feel chilled, but now it was filled with a touch of pampering, which diluted a little bit the fierce aura around him.
Tang Zhuozhuo's heart trembled, and the fingertips holding the tea shrank accordingly. He didn't know whether he was shocked by the pampering in his words or was scalded by the tea. say something.
That's right, what Huo Qiu wants may not be her superfluous help, but her return to the past with the same affection.
How much he likes himself, she in the previous life has seen it.
Now all she can give him is to rely on the advantage of rebirth to give him a little hint, but even without her beating hints, he can still be sure.
A cloud of white mist ignited in front of Tang Zhuozhuo's eyes, blurring his vision, and quickly condensed into a crystal teardrop on his slender eyelashes. She blinked, raised her head and smiled at Huo Qiu: "Your Highness is going to Xijiang, but you still have to bring other people with you." ?”
"I'm going to do business alone, who else do I bring?" He frowned, and whispered as if puzzled.
"But didn't Your Highness take Zhong Liangdi to Chai County last time?" She muttered softly, and gently put down the white porcelain cup with blue patterns in her hand, covering the whiteness in her palm.
Huo Qiu naturally heard it, he stood up slowly, walked to Tang Zhuozhao's body, his tone was indifferent as if mocking: "I asked you at that time, you said that being in the same room with Gu was really shocking Disgusting, whoever wants to go can go."
He clearly spoke gently, but Tang Zhuozhao felt a chill from the bottom of his heart rush up his back and climb up his forearm, so that there was a layer of thin bumps on the back of her white and delicate hands.
She finally remembered that scene.
It was the first month when she married into the East Palace, Huo Qiu came to Yiqiu Palace to accompany her every day when she was free, but the person Tang Zhuozhuo didn't want to see the most was him.
All kinds of words and even swearing and cursing, gradually he came less, went to court to deal with political affairs during the day, and rested in the main hall at night.
It wasn't until one day that he came down from the imperial court and came to tell her to pack up and go to Chai County without even changing the court clothes. He originally thought that he could find an excuse to take her out for a visit, and develop a relationship with her along the way.
But she just sat on the edge of the bed, didn't even bother to move her body, and said such chilling words directly.
Tang Zhuozhao's eyes widened suddenly, and he finally came back to his senses. Seeing Huo Qiu's thin and cold profile and the prey on his face, his body trembled.
To... to finish!
"Concubine... Concubine was joking." Tang Zhuozhuo was silent for a long time before uttering the words that even she herself did not believe.
Sure enough, a man's low snort sound came from beside him, and Tang Zhuozhao's pale fingers were wrapped around a handkerchief hooked with silver thread, and his fingertips were gloomy bluish white.
"Gu won't take her." Huo Qiu's expression was a bit complicated, his voice paused, and he said bluntly: "There are still some things in the palace, so Gu won't accompany you."
When those few dishes of snacks were served, Huo Qiu had already left for a while, Tang Zhuozhuo sighed, and told the people around him: "Move to the pavilion, the hall is a bit boring."
The small courtyard of Yiqiu Palace is not too big, but it is expensive because there are many exotic flowers and plants, and there are many lamps hanging outside in the dark night. The silver bell rang along with the sound of footsteps, and spread a little far away.
After sitting in the pavilion for a while, Tang Zhuozhuo realized that An Xia was missing, and asked the maid beside him to ask, only to find out that An Zhi was leaving the palace tomorrow, and she went to An Zhi's room.
She was silent for a while, and then said softly after a while: "Take Bengong to have a look."
Not wanting to arrive at the door of the small wing room where An Zhi lived, he heard the two people's low-pitched arguing, which was very clear and recognizable in the quiet night.
The author has something to say: Huo Qiu: Never believe this little lie again!
