What Tang Zhuozhao didn't expect was that although Huo Qiu didn't say anything, when he came to Yiqiu Palace for dinner every now and then, he had to watch her drink the medicinal juice into his mouth.

It's just that he never stayed here with her.

Tang Zhuozhuo breathed a sigh of relief, but An Xia was so anxious.

It was only early in the morning, Tang Zhuozhao closed his clothes and got up, walked to the small four-leaf window, the sky outside was not fully lit, mixed with the remaining incense in the temple, blowing on the face of the person was cool, she couldn't help but tense tight-fitting clothing.

An Xia happened to come in and put down the candle that was about to burn out. Seeing that she was awake, she hurriedly walked up to her and asked, "What are you doing so early, you need to sleep for a while?"

Tang Zhuozhuo shook his head casually, glanced at a few small trees in the small courtyard, and asked: "What are those two trees? I haven't seen them before."

An Xia followed her gaze, with a smile on her face: "Didn't Your Majesty mention the tea in the Jiangnan region to Your Highness not long ago?"

"His Highness ordered someone to be planted the day before yesterday."

The excitement on her face was too obvious, Tang Zhuozhuo's face was a little hot when she looked at her, and he said slightly annoyed: "I know you're talking nonsense."

While he was talking, he could only see a vague figure outside, one of them was wearing a bright yellow python robe, and the python pattern embroidered on it was vivid, and he could feel the coercion from a short distance away.

There was a round of clear moon faintly hanging in the sky, and the plain moonlight sprinkled on him, casting a black shadow on the ground of the courtyard, Tang Zhuozhuo was almost obsessed with it.

It was An Xia who took her to change her clothes.

Huo Qiu just entered the inner hall, and saw Tang Zhuozhuo standing in front of the dowry box, all kinds of jewelry in the box were shining brightly, she heard footsteps, turned her head to look at him, and then turned her head to pick and choose.

The mouth is also cute, and the words of His Royal Highness Jin'an are sweet.

With a slight smile in his eyes, Huo Qiu walked behind her a few steps, watching her slender white hand throw a gold-encrusted emerald jade hairpin to the side of the table, and frowned.

"Don't you like this?" He moved closer, and Tang Zhuozhuo could smell the very familiar and clear fragrance, even his breath sprinkled on his body, and the movements of his hands couldn't help but pause.

"It's all obsolete and old things, it's not what you want." She picked up a tassel hairpin and played with it in her hand, her slightly heroic brows frowned exactly like Huo Qiu's.

Hearing the disgust in her words, Huo Qiu laughed, and looked at the tassel hairpin in her hand, it was obviously the most fashionable in this year, and it was made of high-quality materials.

He has always been willing to part with her.

This little thing knows how to be picky.

"Zhang Desheng!"

"Take out the jewels in the solitary storehouse and give them to the princess to choose."

Zhang Desheng froze for a moment, then smiled and said to Tang Zhuozhao: "Your Majesty's treasury is full of tribute items from that year, and your empress will definitely be happy."

Tang Zhuozhao's peach blossom eyes were shining with brilliance, his rouge-colored wide sleeve touched Huo Qiu's palm, and he smiled happily: "It's rare that Your Highness is willing to give up love."

Huo Qiu slightly raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

"When did Gu hide his selfishness from you?" His tall body covered Tang Zhuozhuo in the shadow, and when viewed from the side, it seemed as if the two were embracing each other.

Tang Zhuozhuo said arrogantly: "I don't know how many good things His Royal Highness gave to Liangdi's concubines earlier, but the concubines have not received this one anyway."

The words couldn't be more justified, Huo Qiu looked at her seriously, his palms itched, and couldn't help scratching her upturned nose.

Both of them froze, Huo Qiu put down his hands calmly, and coughed lightly: "You are becoming more and more heartless."

The rewards to the people below were just some ordinary jewels, but they were sent to her here, none of them were ordinary objects, which one would not be priceless if taken out

Others would be grateful for the matter, but when they came to her, they became more righteous and confident, and they still didn't forget to fight back.

Tang Zhuozhuo was silent for a while, and when he raised his head again, there was a smile on his face: "Did Your Highness have breakfast?"

Huo Qiu's body was cold, but his brows were as gentle as jade, and when he looked at her, he unconsciously carried a scorching heat that no one could escape.

After that day, although she didn't suddenly fall in love with him, she changed her way to be open and honest with him.

When he thought of the blushing Tang Zhuozhao grabbing his belt that day, his eyes were shy and shy, and he called his name crisply.

Holding his hand and growing old together with him, even if she has not developed any affection for him, this is already an unexpected joy that he dare not think about.

Huo Qiu pulled a strand of hair from her sideburns. Thinking of what he was about to say next, he slowly became serious, but his movements were extremely gentle.

"Never."

"Gu is here to tell you that the trip to Xijiang, originally scheduled for ten days later, will be postponed for a while."

The smile on Tang Zhuozhuo's face disappeared like a magic trick, and she muttered a few times in a low voice: "Your Highness has promised me, a gentleman has no jokes."

After all, she felt unwilling again, her rosy face was full of grievances, and she dawdled to Huo Qiu's side, and even her voice was deliberately suppressed into a cry: "Your Highness, these days I have Take your medicine well, you've seen it too."

When Huo Qiu saw her white and tender little finger hooking the corner of his court clothes, his appearance was really pitiful.

Immediately my brain hurts.

"Gu said that he would take you with him. It's just that father and emperor Tonggu said yesterday that the emperor's grandmother's 80th birthday will be moved to these few days to celebrate it."

Only then did Tang Zhuozhuo loosen the corner of his clothes, and frowned, "Isn't the grandma's birthday two months away?"

"Well, Qin Tianjian will report to the emperor, and it will be auspicious in three days. At that time, it will increase the luck of the royal family." Huo Qiu looked a little lazy, and there was a little tiredness between his brows.

Emperor Qiong Yuan suffered from a serious illness that hurt his vitality, coupled with the root cause of his illness when he was young, now most of the affairs are in the hands of Huo Qiu. On the one hand, he has to handle the affairs of the court in an orderly manner, and on the other hand, he has to beware of those wolfish ambitions. Prince.

Seeing him like this, Tang Zhuozhuo's heart softened, and he stood on tiptoe and rubbed the center of his brows, "Is this date set in a hurry? I haven't even prepared the birthday gift for the imperial grandmother's birthday."

She no longer talked about her concubine, and her soft and boneless little hands rubbed against his brow with a little coldness, Huo Qiu let out a low laugh from his throat, "It's all prepared for you."

Only then did Tang Zhuozhuo feel relieved.

The Empress Dowager is very old, and usually lives in the Palace of Compassion, eats fast and recites Buddhism, and doesn't care about worldly affairs, but when she was young, she was very powerful. There are stories about her in and out of the palace, but Tang Zhuozhuo didn't see her very often. noodle.

Huo Qiu sighed lowly, found her small jade white hand and squeezed it.

"Gu is busy these days, so I don't have to wait for Gu for dinner."

When Huo Qiu left, Tang Zhuozhuo looked at the large box of rare gadgets, raised his eyebrow lazily, and stared at Zhang Desheng who was smiling attentively.

"Mother..." Zhang Desheng's heart skipped a beat, and his sense of crisis was particularly strong.

"I heard that Zhong Liang Di was grounded by His Highness?"

Zhang Desheng hurriedly smiled and shook Fuchen and nodded in agreement.

"Then I will go in and have a look. Is there any serious problem?"

Tang Zhuozhuo put down the small silver scissors for pruning potted plants, and smiled brightly on his face without applying makeup: "I heard that people from the Japanese palace are not allowed to enter her palace gate?"

Zhang Desheng was dumb, his head was as big as a bucket.
