That night, I arrived at a house in Xijiang. On a night full of moonlight and few stars, Tang Zhuozhuo was helped out of the carriage by An Xia, and he saw Liu Hanjiang shaking a feather fan and laughing lightly, holding a pink and jade-carved female doll in his hand. , Mrs. Ye stood on one side, and saluted when she saw her: "I have seen the empress, I have offended you a lot before, I hope the empress will forgive me."

There are big trees covering the sky in front of the house, and there are lush mountains behind. It must be an excellent scenery during the day, but it is a bit gloomy at night.

Tang Zhuozhuo was a little drowsy in the carriage, but now that he got off the bed, he wished he could sleep on the bed, and wake up when the night wind blows.

She gathered the cloak around her body, helped Mrs. Ye up, and said with a smile: "Where is the madam, today is my palace."

It's also thanks to Mrs. Yeh's ability to react.

There was a sudden howl of crows from the treetops above their heads, and the doll Ye was holding was stunned, and then pursed his lips and dropped the golden peas.

The half-old child, whose eyes were full of fear, still held back his tears, Ye's face was full of apology, Tang Zhuozhuo liked soft milk dolls the most, not to mention that this little girl was very sensible, and suddenly felt a little Relentless.

She squatted down and wiped her tears with the handkerchief in her hand, her voice was also very soft: "Are you afraid?"

Liu Xiaoxiao had never seen this person in front of her, so she really stopped crying. She blinked and looked at Mrs. Ye, and hid behind her.

"This kid is a little timid." Ye Shi smiled indulgently and explained to Tang Zhuozhao.

Tang Zhuozhuo shook his head, stood up, and blessed Huo Qiu: "Your Highness, I will take my wife and the child to the backyard first."

Huo Qiu and Liu Hanjiang looked at each other, and it was the latter who waved his fan and said, "I'm sorry."

Tang Zhuozhuo nodded softly, and followed the nuns to the wing room in the backyard. Huo Qiu turned the jade wrench in his hand a few times, pondered for a moment and said, "Safe, you follow."

It was very late at night, Huo Qiu was pacing in the study, Zhang Desheng came in with two cups of tea, smoke was rising from the incense burner, the fragrance of tea was overflowing, there were lush trees outside, and birdsong could be heard occasionally.

Liu Hanjiang finally put away the fan in his hand, and his vision smiled lightly for a week: "Your Highness, this house is well bought. When I get old, I will bring my wife and daughter to this kind of place to watch the mountains and rivers."

Huo Qiu also smiled, without saying a word.

Zhang Desheng served tea and snacks, and said solemnly: "Your Highness, those bandits have been dealt with, and all the jewels have been taken back."

Huo Qiu rubbed his fingertips on the rim of the cup, with a thick layer of mist in his eyes, he nodded slightly to indicate that he knew.

Zhang Desheng then withdrew.

Liu Hanjiang looked serious and said, "How does Your Highness plan to deal with the chaos in Xijiang?"

"Of course it is according to Father's will."

Liu Hanjiang smiled and said nothing, just shook his head slightly, and said: "Your Highness's thoughtful ministers all know that Xijiang is a good place. As long as Concubine Yan's party and corrupt officials are punished, there will be many uses."

Huo Qiu turned around and frowned after a while and said, "I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

After discussing the schedule for the next few days, it was already late at night. Huo Qiu rubbed his forehead and asked deeply, "Where's the bastard who spoke so rudely today?"

Zhang Desheng had been waiting for a long time, seeing that his master really asked, he hurriedly asked Quan An to escort him in, but he was covered in blood and lost his appearance.

Huo Qiu walked up to him in a few steps, and took a look at him carefully. He didn't know what he thought of, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

"Master... this man has robbed more than a dozen girls down the mountain and played with him to death, what should we do now?"

Zhang Desheng asked indifferently, without any sympathy for such a person.

With such a thing, he dared to think about the princess during the day, and he simply didn't know how to write the dead word.

Huo Qiu looked at it coldly, and said very calmly: "Goug out your eyes and throw them to the mountain pass to feed the wolves."

After finishing speaking, he got up and left the study room, and asked as he walked, "Where did you put Liu Hanjiang's family?"

Quan An immediately said: "Your Highness, this house is divided into east and west sides. The empress lives in the Youqu Pavilion on the east side, while Mr. Liu's family is arranged on the west side."

The maidservant was holding a lantern in front, and it was glowing faintly in the darkness. The direction of Huo Qiu's feet changed and he went straight to the east.

Quan An suddenly knew in his mind that the master was going to stay in the princess's room!

When Huo Qiu arrived, the lights were still on in the Youqu Pavilion, and it happened that An Xia came out of it, and when she saw him, she hurriedly saluted.

"Have you rested?" Huo Qiu's half of his face was shrouded in darkness, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.

"Back to Your Highness, the empress just rested, but do you want the slaves to wake up the empress?"

"No, let's all go down." With a wave of his sleeves, Huo Qiu dismissed the servants inside and outside the house.

She was a little sleepy in the carriage just now, and she should have a good rest after calculating the time.

There were layers of curtains hanging down on the large carved bed, Huo Qiu stood by the bed with his hands behind his back, and saw a small ball raised on the bed through the curtains, and wrapped the brocade quilt around his waist, revealing two lotus-white jade arms.

Looking at it, Huo Qiu frowned, there was no other reason, Tang Zhuozhuo turned over, revealing a slim waist, wrapped in a thin coat, he would wake up tomorrow and complain of a headache.

What kind of habit is this

He stretched out his hand to lift the curtain of the bed, and held the delicate little girl in his arms. He was about to stretch out his hand to hook the quilt, when she opened her eyes.

Tang Zhuozhuo's complexion was rosy, and there was a smile in his eyes. He didn't look like he woke up half a minute ago

Huo Qiu's body froze slightly, and immediately scolded softly: "Nonsense!"

That's what he said, but he still gently placed the person on the soft pillow.

Tang Zhuozhuo giggled, his eyes were full of charm, he leaned on the cushion as if he had no bones, and his voice was delicate and sweet: "Who told His Highness to always peek at you?"

Huo Qiu was pulled by the jade belt around her waist by this little coquettishness. The faint fragrance on her body was very seductive. He endured it, warned in a hoarse voice, and his eyes darkened a lot: "How dare you tease me?"

This little thing just didn't get enough of it.

Tang Zhuozhao got closer and closer to him, and finally touched the man's cold face with his cool little hand, and his voice was seductive.

"My concubine has a severe headache, please rub it for me, Your Highness."

Huo Qiu's chest trembled a few times, and he laughed softly. With this smile, the charming atmosphere in the room dissipated.

Tang Zhuozhao moved to his thigh on his own, and he could see his handsome face when he raised his eyes. Shi Shiran closed his eyes, as if enjoying himself at his service.

The more Huo Qiu looked at it, the rarer it became. How could he fail to see her little thoughts.

After calculating the headache, I couldn't bear to touch her, very naive.

Huo Qiu's fingers were icy cold, pressing on Tang Zhuozhao's brow was even more numb, cool and comfortable, she sighed softly, slowly opened her eyes and said: "My concubine has Xin to ask the prince to serve you once." , if the noble ladies of the capital can hear it, they will be jealous again."

Huo Qiu hummed along with her words, and then asked: "How do you say that?"

Speaking of this, Tang Zhuozhuo got excited, grabbed the sachet hanging from his waist to play with, and said: "Your Highness doesn't know, when the imperial decree came down, not to mention the noble ladies, just the two concubines Cousin from far away is a joke, both openly and secretly."

Huo Qiu let her play with it for a while, wrapped her in the brocade quilt before asking: "What's the joke?"

It's ridiculous to be his princess

Huo Qiu frowned deeply.

Tang Zhuozhuo opened his mouth to speak, but closed his mouth silently when he thought of something, lowered his eyes and said embarrassingly: "It's nothing, it's just that the smiling concubine has a good skin to confuse the king's heart."

Don't make other people's jokes about what happened back then, even she almost believed it herself.

At that time, she had put all her heart on Wang Yi, and she was eagerly waiting for Jiji, but she didn't expect such a marriage decree.

From the eyes of outsiders, it was natural that she rushed to get close to such a big tree as the prince, but from her ears, it was unavoidable that she felt wronged.

"Why do you take the outsider's words seriously?" Huo Qiu stroked her black hair, feeling very fond of her.

Tang Zhuozhuo opened her eyes, her glass-colored almond eyes gleaming, she changed the subject calmly and asked, "Your Highness, why did you bring Mr. Liu's family here this time?"

Huo Qiu tapped the edge of the bed with his long fingers, and said slowly: "There are so many incidents in Xijiang, Gu needs Liu Hanjiang to advise Gu, because of the last assassination, he was worried about his wife and children, so he took them with him when he thought about it." Come here."

Tang Zhuozhuo nodded slightly.

Thinking about this life, Ye family will be fine, as long as Huo Qiu can protect Liu Hanjiang's family in the future, he will not turn against him.

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Tang Zhuozhuo watched the cold moonlight outside sprinkled on the courtyard, partially covered by mottled tree shadows, and smiled very lightly: "Seeing that I can chat with Mr. Liu's wife and children, I just need to ask more questions."

"Gu Ming will go out to do errands in the future. If you are bored in the other courtyard, take someone to walk around. Don't be playful."

Huo Qiu warned in a low voice, thinking of the plan in her heart, she felt a little uneasy, but fortunately this courtyard is completely hidden, with rolling mountains in front and behind, it is safe enough to hide her here.

Tang Zhuozhuo grabbed his thumb with a jade wrench, followed his example and turned it around a few times, feeling sleepy, and his voice became more and more naive.

"It's late at night, Your Highness should sleep here with my concubine."

Huo Qiu raised his eyebrows, and responded kindly.

After two hours, he regretted it. The little woman's soft body carried a sweet fragrance, and she burrowed straight into his arms. He avoided and avoided, and finally was entangled by her on the edge of the bed.

Tang Zhuozhuo didn't realize it, the two white lotus arms were holding the man's thin waist, and he didn't restrain himself, forcing Huo Qiu to breathe little by little.

That's all, but her little head was on his chest, and she exhaled softly, so well-behaved, but Huo Qiu only felt that the forbearance and desire in his heart were a little bit aroused by this soft breath. , until the prairie fire.

He suppressed his voice and drank in a low voice: "Tang Zhuozhao, are you still making trouble?!"

No one answered him.

Huo Qiu turned sideways, sniffed at her, closed his long eyelashes lightly, and really fell asleep.

She lay obediently on his chest, and without saying anything or doing anything, she was able to force him to lose his armor.
