Zhang Desheng held a few volumes of ancient scriptures in his hands, and the simple scroll pages exuded the fragrance of Buddha in the temple, which was elegant and meditative.
Tang Zhuozhuo picked up a book from Zhang Desheng, carefully flipped through a few pages, and said with a broken face, "Your Highness, this... it's all in Sanskrit, I can't understand it."
It is normal for her not to be interested in such obscure scriptures.
The steps under Huo Qiu's feet lightly paused, and the black hook gold thread boots touched the ground, making a slight and soft sound, disturbing the tranquility of the room.
"At that time, you and the princes and concubines will present the gift together, and just say a few auspicious words."
Fearing that she would be worried, Huo Qiu specially added: "The emperor's grandmother will like it."
She naturally believed what Emperor Chongjian said in the future. Tang Zhuozhuo narrowed his eyes, gently placed the scriptures on the table, and said in a low voice: "The emperor's grandmother doesn't like concubines..."
It's not just that she doesn't like herself, in her impression, even Huo Qiu doesn't have a good face.
In her previous life, she knew very little about the Empress Dowager, and she had never been able to penetrate her mind. She only knew that she was a powerful character.
Of course, I don't bother to understand.
But it seems that the empress dowager has such an attitude towards everyone, so there is nothing to say.
Huo Qiu hummed softly from his nose, his eyes darkened quite a bit, but when he turned his head and saw Tang Zhuozhao's slightly confused expression, he pursed his lips and moved the corners of his mouth, his hard brows softened slightly.
"The imperial grandmother has seen too many people and things. At this age, she only focuses on Buddha and doesn't want to care about anything else."
But being in the palace with a high position and authority, there are a lot of people who want to curry favor with her. If she is more kind, some people may be beaten to death.
Tang Zhuozhuo nodded thoughtfully, then glanced at the volumes of ancient scriptures, and rubbed the tip of his nose: "Where did His Highness find these scriptures? It doesn't look like a common word."
Knowing Huo Qiu's intentions, Zhang Desheng took half a step forward and said, "Returning to your mother, this scripture was copied by Master Pu Zang himself, and it was placed as a tribute in Zhenguo Temple for more than ten years, and it was stolen during the previous court. If we lost track of him, it would take a lot of His Highness's energy to find it."
At first Tang Zhuozhuo could listen with enthusiasm, but then his body froze slightly, and he asked in his usual voice, "But how many volumes of the Diamond Sutra?"
"Your Majesty has good eyesight, it's just these few books."
Tang Zhuozhao's peach-blossom eyes glowed a little bit, and his soft and white fingertips gently rubbed the scriptures, "Your Highness really bothered."
Huo Qiu was sitting on the expensive pear wood chair, his tall body was like a stone sculpture soaked in wind and rain, he raised his straight eyebrows noncommittally after hearing her words, and did not make a sound.
Tang Zhuozhuo frowned slightly, as if he suddenly thought of something, he pouted and walked up to Huo Qiu and asked, "Your Highness, did you find these volumes of scriptures from Liu Hanjiang?"
Huo Qiu's expression darkened for a moment, and his eyes turned a few times on her small white jade face. Tang Zhuozhuo tried his best to make his face look the same as usual, but a thin layer of sweat had already broken out from the bottom of his palms.
His gaze was too sharp, but fortunately he stood up again after a while, turned the jade wrench in his hand and asked, "How do you know Liu Hanjiang?"
Tang Zhuozhuo breathed a sigh of relief, but still bit the bullet and pretended to be relaxed and said: "It's not the concubine's elder brothers. They used to discuss these things after they came back from school. After listening to a lot, the concubine can remember a few people .”
Half of Huo Qiu's body was hidden in the deep darkness, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "What did you say?"
"It's just some groundless talk, but this concubine Liu Hanjiang really remembers it."
The man was too forceful and silent, Tang Zhuozhuo spoke carefully, and when he got behind, even a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.
Making up words in front of Huo Qiu really tests one's nature.
"My concubine's third elder brother admired him very much. After practicing martial arts that day, he said that Liu Hanjiang was unparalleled in both civil and military affairs, and he looked good. Unfortunately, he has nowhere to go. If he is lucky enough to meet him, it will be a great fortune in life. "
Tang Zhuozhuo's fingers pinching the lid of the teacup turned white, and he said with difficulty: "This concubine has fallen in love with him. Later, I heard that these volumes of scriptures fell into his hands. I don't know if it's true or not. .”
"Now he has been found by His Highness."
Afterwards, the hall fell into a long silence, which made Tang Zhuozhuo a little restless.
But if I miss this opportunity today, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find another opportunity to mention this person in the future.
Huo Qiu Qingrun's laughter carried an inexplicable meaning, he turned around and said, "Gu and Liu Hanjiang still have some friendship."
Does this mean that Liu Hanjiang has joined his camp by default
But next, how should she remind Huo Qiu that this Liu Hanjiang will betray him on the spot
Even if he said it, would Huo Qiu believe her
Tang Zhuozhuo suddenly felt a little overwhelmed, but fortunately, the matter had already started, and he would mention a few words from time to time in the future, which would always make Huo Qiu more vigilant.
She was a little lost in thought, Huo Qiu took a look at her jet-black hair, and said, "Do you want some snacks?"
Tang Zhuozhuo subconsciously said: "Yes, I want Furong Yulu Cake and Green Date Cake."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Tang Zhuozhuo realized something was wrong, and when he raised his eyes, he bumped into the man's smiling black pupils as expected, and was immediately ashamed and annoyed: "Your Highness always makes fun of me for what?"
The smile in Huo Qiu's eyes became stronger, and even his voice became clearer because of the joyful smile: "The lonely princess is a glutton, and I didn't realize it before."
Tang Zhuozhuo's pretty face was flushed with a few streaks of red, and he raised his eyebrows slightly, his temper made him smoother than anything else, "Zhang Desheng, tell the small kitchen not to bring it over, I won't eat it."
Zhang Desheng, who was named, trembled, and looked tentatively at Huo Qiu, but saw that their usually indifferent and serious master had a slight smile on his eyes and brows, how could he have the time to look at him
So, do you want to present this snack
The little girl's palm-sized face was white and clean, but there was a bit of coquettish charm in her eyes, and her whole body became lively.
"When will Gu not let you eat? En?" Huo Qiu laughed and was angry, and took a step forward to pull back a strand of fine hair from the corner of his temples, revealing his jade-like earlobes.
The light in his eyes suddenly brightened, but his voice was still unhurried.
"You can only play small temper, let's see who will manipulate you in the future."
Tang Zhuozhuo was a little unnatural, but he still blinked and replied: "Naturally, His Highness still wants to be pampered. Could it be that His Highness won't indulge his concubine when he has a new love in the future?"
She spoke smoothly in this long paragraph, Zhang Desheng who was waiting on the side rubbed his eyes, always felt that the princess seemed to have changed in the past few days.
Look, these three words coaxed the master to be full of joy, thinking that they had worked so hard in the past, but they couldn't get a word of kindness from the master.
Tsk tsk, it really can't be compared.
Huo Qiu stared intently at the particularly shameless little guy, pinched one of her soft cheeks, and said, "Of course I want to let go."
How can there be a second Tang Zhuozhuo in this world who makes him want to stay by his side no matter what
Zhang Desheng sighed inwardly, and ordered someone to go to the small kitchen to serve pastries.
It was night, Huo Qiu stood in front of the window, looking at the moving shadows behind several lanterns outside, with the rustling wind and snow in his eyes.
Zhang Desheng stood behind him with a puzzled expression: "Your Highness, why don't you leave your mother behind..."
How much Huo Qiu cares about Tang Zhuozhuo, he naturally knows. In the past, when the princess concubine thought about General Wang coldly, the master was usually so angry that he couldn't sleep at night, and he was going to court again the next morning. worry.
No one can stand such a toss!
After all, the Crown Princess stopped making noises, and she seemed to have figured it out, but here, His Highness, at most, the Crown Princess would come to have a meal and chat for a while, as for the matter of being favored, she didn't mention it.
Huo Qiu tapped lightly on the window frame with his slender fingers, his gaze was like a falcon on the desert, following the black figure, but the words he uttered were extremely indifferent.
"Crack!"
"..."
Seeing the lantern turning a corner and disappearing into the night, Huo Qiu could barely look away.
Her attitude changed slightly, and he didn't want to force her.
An excellent hunter would never let go of the prey that was delivered to his mouth, but Tang Zhuozhao was different from him after all, he couldn't be anxious, the feeling of being treated coldly by her was too mortal, he I don't want to suffer a second time.
It's okay to pretend to be dumb, or play temper, he will grind it slowly with her, and he will always ask her to take back her heart!
Thinking of the cold and slightly trembling hand that touched her by accident just now, and the thin layer of sweat on her forehead, Huo Qiu suddenly closed his eyes.
"Where is Liu Hanjiang now?"
Zhang Desheng also suppressed the smile on his face and replied: "Your Highness, Mr. Liu has just returned to the house you bought for him in the suburbs. Maybe he went to see his wife."
The story of Liu Hanjiang doting on his wife and daughter was widely spread, and it was true in fact.
Huo Qiu rubbed the center of his brows, "Send some people to protect him, don't be negligent."
If something happened to Liu Hanjiang's family, with his temperament, he might not be able to serve him anymore.
At the same time, Yiqiu Palace was also a little bustling.
An Xia untied Tang Zhuozhuo's bun, and the black hair fell down like a waterfall, with a faint fragrance that made people feel crisp when they smelled it. Tang Zhuozhuo rested his chin on his hand, looked at the man with red lips and white teeth in the mirror, and smiled. Kaihuai: "It's so beautiful."
Zihuan and An Xia looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
These days the princess has such a temperament, she is often obsessed with her own beauty, at first they even complimented her a few words, but later they just laughed along with her.
This beauty was quite famous in Kyoto when she was not in the East Palace, needless to say what she looks like.
"Your Majesty, why didn't you stay in the main hall earlier?"
Tang Zhuozhuo pursed his lips, took off the jade bracelet in his hand, yawned lazily, and said, "Tomorrow is the Empress Dowager's birthday, so I have to get up early, and I'm tired too, so you all go back."
An Xia wanted to say something, but Zi Huan grabbed her sleeves, so she had to back down.
The night outside was like cold water, Tang Zhuozhao let out a low chuckle from his throat, with a charming and charming expression.
Huo Qiu understood her thoughts.
