There was a moment of silence in the room, and even the smoke burning in the golden stove was silent, leaving only her slightly dissatisfied complaints.
Huo Qiu rested his chin on the top of her hair, his eyes were deep and indistinguishable, his sword eyes were like knives, and after a while, he lowered his head and turned around her delicate jaw without saying a word.
Tang Zhuozhuo gave him an angry look, and while playing with the crystals on the tips of his nails, he said, "I thought His Highness was here to take a look because he loves my concubine, but it turned out that His Highness came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime."
A faint smile slipped across Huo Qiu's eyes, and he almost fell in her way again.
"Why don't you just tell Gu Ming directly?"
He has never had any sense in her. If he really got angry today and she didn't explain it, wouldn't the situation between the two of them be frozen again
Tang Zhuozhuo struggled his wrist slightly, and stood up from the man's arms, his eyebrows were as delicate as the seductive fairy in the portrait, at this moment, his eyebrows were slightly frowned: "I'm very lazy, and I don't care about those bad things, but Wang Yi will The concubine teased her so much that she naturally needs to be taught a lesson."
As for why he was asked to return to his original post, this man had already thought about it, and she didn't need to explain it.
Instead, it was Huo Qiu's reaction that made her a little uncertain. I can't see any displeasure, but it's really not a good-looking one.
Just like that, the man lay on his back with a lazy look on his face, and he didn't know how much he believed her words.
"Your Highness..."
She called out softly, following his scrutiny with frank eyes.
The slight awkwardness in Huo Qiu's heart slowly dissipated. He has always been very careful about Tang Zhuozhuo, even if he calms down and knows Tang Zhuozhuo's intentions, he still feels uncomfortable.
He didn't want to hear that person's name from Tang Zhuozhao again.
"Jiaojiao is going to let him lead the troops to garrison Mobei?" Huo Qiu's eyes fell on the sachet thrown by her, the delicate rusty surface was already stained with a thin layer of dust.
Tang Zhuozhao was about to nod, but he shook his head.
"Mobei has its own arrangements, Wang Yi must stay in the capital."
To die is to die in Kyoto!
Although Mobei is dangerous, but the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, no one knows how he is there. Although his life is in danger, he is easy to survive from a desperate situation. It is better to keep such a person under his nose.
Tang Zhuozhuo frowned suddenly and didn't understand what he was thinking, but she also knew that even if she didn't get involved with Huo Qiu, it wouldn't make Wang Yi feel better, so she sighed in her heart and nodded in agreement.
"Your Highness is in charge."
Soon the first guests came to this huge mansion. They were the unlucky Nanping King Zhu Yuan who was being dragged by his son, and Zhu Lu who was disheartened and lifeless.
When Tang Zhuozhuo got the news, he was trimming the roses in the garden with small scissors. Hearing this, he asked casually, "Are you here to make amends?"
Li Desheng was ordered by Huo Qiu to invite him over, but he was very calm when he heard this, as normal as taking a sip of water.
Although this son of Prince Nanping is of little importance, his father, King Nanping, is a real prince, and even His Highness should give some respect.
Tang Zhuozhuo closed his eyes, waved his hands lightly, and said, "I'm not feeling well, and I'm afraid that the wind and cold on my body will infect the lord and the prince, so I won't go."
Li Desheng was dumbfounded.
In the study room, there was a chess game set up, Huo Qiu and Nanping Wang each held a side, one was sharp and the other was calm and restrained, each had its own merits.
Li Desheng came in and bowed his body to report: "Your Highness, Madam is afraid that the wind and cold on her body will be caught by the prince and the prince, so she only said that I will talk about the past with the prince and make amends in the future."
At this moment, the white letter in Huo Qiu's hand fell, and after a slight sound, he frowned slightly, waved his hand at Li Desheng, and said, "I have accepted."
Wang Wei of Nanping focused his attention, and then saw that the winner and loser on the chessboard were already clear, he rubbed his hands and laughed endlessly: "Your Highness is unparalleled in chess, and the old minister is willing to bow down."
"Where is the word of the prince?"
The Prince of Nanping is upright, he didn't feel ashamed at the moment, he pulled Zhu Lu over and said: "To tell the truth, Your Highness, this young minister has already used the family law lesson, as for the concubine and the Zhou family, they have nothing to do with my Nanping Palace. "
Honesty is honesty, there are many things that should be cleared up, and there is no need to drag yourself into the water for a concubine with no color and even a businessman with no eyesight.
Still such a delicate moment.
Zhu Lu hated to death in his heart, and Zhou Qin's appearance of pear blossoms with rain still appeared in his mind from time to time. After all these years of wandering around, he finally met a caring woman who was forced to marry her in such a humiliating way. Kicked out of the mansion and passed on to the capital, is he shameless as a majestic son
He clenched his fists tightly, the smile on his face was very stiff, and he no longer had the gentle look of Mr. Pianpianjia.
That woman Tang Zhuozhuo must not fall into the hands of his Nanping Palace, otherwise she will definitely be asked to return one by one!
Huo Qiu practiced martial arts all the year round, so he was very sensitive to hostility, so he frowned at the moment, and said to the king of Nanping, "Since the prince said so, it's not easy for Gu to pursue it any further. Let's just expose this matter."
The King of Nanping breathed a sigh of relief, and knew that Huo Qiu was warning the Nanping Palace because of this matter. Before leaving, he couldn't help but said: "If your Highness needs it, the Nanping Palace will be at your disposal."
Huo Qiu was waiting for such a sentence.
On the way back, Zhu Lu looked at the gloomy house and was so angry that he said, "Father, this matter is not our fault at all!"
Nanping King's feet were blown by the wind, and his expression didn't change a bit when he heard the words, he just asked symbolically: "How can you see that?"
"That Zhou Jian was really lustful, but how can there be any reason for the concubine to go to the place with him?"
Not even the princess!
"And the news from the capital is that the crown princess entered the temple to pray for blessings. It can be seen that Tang Zhuozhuo can't see the light. We don't need to come here at all!"
As long as this matter is handled properly, the crown prince should also be wary of it!
King Nanping's face was gloomy, his beard curled up and he didn't want to look at his stupid son-in-law until he got into the carriage and shouted angrily: "Idiot!"
Zhu Lu was taken aback by the scolding, and just about to retort, he heard Nanping Wang stroking his black stubble and saying, "Who can't think of what you can think of?"
"Do you think this Xijiang is a good place with beautiful scenery and many beauties? Do you know how many pairs of eyes are staring at this place? All of them are honest people with their tails between their legs. Just say that the little prince who hangs out with you is still jumping around these days." Is he not much smarter than you?"
Zhu Lu cheered up, thinking carefully about the abnormalities of Xijiang these past few days, he frowned hesitantly: "Is this all because the prince came to Xijiang?"
He didn't know anything else, but at the beginning of the year, the Sixth Prince and the Third Prince went to Xijiang one after another, and I didn't see him mentioning that everything should be eaten and drank as normal.
King Nanping didn't want to look at him again, and sighed: "The palace is in your hands, and it will be finished sooner or later!"
"Do you really think that the one on the throne is too old?" King Nanping deliberately lowered his voice, his beard curled up, and he looked inexplicably happy, but the words he said made people shudder.
Zhu Lu was taken aback for a moment, then almost jumped up in shock, his voice was very hoarse, startled and frightened: "You mean your majesty is here too?"
The king of Nanping was extremely tired, and he didn't want to talk to himself, a lone seedling with a worrying IQ.
At the same time, An Xia looked worried at Tang Zhuozhuo, who was leisurely pruning flowers and branches, and followed behind and asked puzzledly: "Madam, now the King of Nanping knows that you have left the palace, what if someone finds out again? "
Tang Zhuozhuo's subordinates kept moving, and cut off a rose that bloomed just right, and seeing that the color was just right, he put it in the flower basket in Zi Huan's hand, and said, "Your Highness is not in a hurry, what are we in a hurry for? This flower is pretty good, I will cut a few more later and take them to the west wing."
The life in this house is too boring, and the men don't have much time, so she can only drink tea with Mrs. Ye to study the mouth fat, and to kill some time to inquire about the news along the way.
She has always been full of curiosity about Liu Hanjiang's family.
This house is huge, it is said that there are east and west sides, but it can be regarded as two houses, which are clearly separated.
When Tang Zhuozhuo arrived with his maid, Mrs. Ye was already waiting at the stone table, and even Liu Xiaoxiao looked extremely well-behaved.
"Please, Ma'am." Liu Xiaoxiao blessed her body with Mrs. Ye, crisp and authentic, Tang Zhuozhuo smiled, touched the two little braids on her hand, her brows softened a lot.
"Madam, are you still used to living here?"
Mrs. Ye smiled shyly, took Liu Xiaoxiao's little fat hand and wiped it, and said, "Everything is fine, your empress will not worry about it."
Tang Zhuozhuo held the tea on the table and took a sip, his movements froze for a moment, his eyes flashed with surprise.
"What kind of tea is this? The taste is not quite the same as the other ones." She still had a smile on her face, but her fingers holding the cup turned white, showing the emotional fluctuations in her heart.
Mrs. Ye smiled softly, and her moon-white clothes made her as soft as water. She lifted the tea cover, looked at the weird tea leaves inside, pursed her lips and said, "Your Majesty has good eyesight, this tea is made using a special method. Cheng, drinking for a long time can adjust the body and make up for the deficiency."
Tang Zhuozhuo's expression was slightly subtle for a while, but Ye Shi continued: "There is no such tea in Kyoto, and the concubine learned how to make tea from her teacher."
Ye's gaze was too gentle and clear, Tang Zhuozhao rubbed the center of his brows, not knowing how to speak.
She has drank this tea too many times, and her body, which would not live to be twenty years old, has been replenished little by little with these medicinal materials.
Mrs. Ye took a sip of the green tea in her hand, smiling at the corners of her eyes and brows: "My teacher is the best at using acupuncture and making tea, but he just said that I am weak-tempered, so he would never teach me the art of acupuncture and moxibustion to save people. .”
Darkness flashed across Tang Zhuozhuo's eyes, and he also chuckled, knowing that Ye's purpose of saying these words was to test her.
Feeling the deep helplessness in Ye's words, Tang Zhuozhuo also took a sip of tea and sighed inwardly. Jiang Jianxi's temperament is there, and she will not teach if she doesn't want to teach, just like she was soft-hearted at that time. Like tea, he dismissed himself by saying that his temper was not calm enough.
But she and Mrs. Ye do have completely different temperaments.
"That day when I heard my husband talk about my mistress' amazing acupuncture skills, my wife wondered in her heart whether she should call her a junior sister."
Ye's voice was more than gentle, but every word was very clear, and he looked up at Tang Zhuozhao after he finished speaking.
Tang Zhuozhuo took a deep breath, lowered his eyes helplessly, took a sip of the familiar taste, and then moved his lips and said: "I heard that senior sister Hui Zhilan is very smart, and now I know what he is. It's true."
Both of them knew who he was referring to.
So the original plan of polishing the lip balm didn't come true, Tang Zhuozhuo took Ye Shi to read the medical books all afternoon, and then slowly drew the appearance of the grass, finally, the trip was not in vain.
And with such a layer of identity, the communication between Ye Shi and Tang Zhuozhao has also relaxed a lot.
Back at Youqu Pavilion in the evening, Tang Zhuozhuo still had a slight smile on his face, lying on the rocking chair looking at the starry sky outside to enjoy the coolness, humming an unknown little song in his mouth.
Both Huo Qiu and Liu Hanjiang left the house, Ye Shi brought fruit wine to look for her, the two drank to their heart's content, and did not go back to their rooms to sleep until late at night.
Tang Zhuozhuo didn't sleep until the next day when he turned over and woke up in a daze. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the man sitting in front of the desk with his back straight as a pine. blinked.
Huo Qiu didn't raise his head when he heard the movement, his handsome face was tightened, and his brows didn't relax for a moment.
Tang Zhuozhuo was changed and washed by the servant girl, and when breakfast was served, he was still dazed and dizzy, covered his lips and yawned, walked to Huo Qiu's side, without saying a word, he moved a soft stool and sat on him left hand side.
Huo Qiu's speed of flipping through the pages of the book became slower and slower, in the end he was disturbed by this little thing.
"Dare to drink..." He just raised his eyes and drank in a low voice. Tang Zhuozhuo hooked his waist and rubbed him over halfway through his words. The woman's body was soft and boneless. He hummed like a cat on his shoulder.
Huo Qiu frowned and took a deep breath.
Here we go again!
However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was at a loss what to do about it, and after a moment of stiffness, he stretched out his hand and rubbed her smooth forehead: "Are you suffering from a headache now?"
Tang Zhuozhao nodded, looking a little weaker than Xizi's holding his heart.
Looking at her like this, Huo Qiu couldn't let out his breath, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "Then I won't take you to the auction house today."
Sure enough, the little head on the shoulder moved suddenly, and the next moment the woman regained her spirits, seeing her wet almond eyes made his heart flutter.
"Your Highness, my concubine is going."
"The health of the concubine will be fine, very good."
It was not the first time that His Royal Highness, the wise and mighty prince, had seen her face-changing skills, but he was still almost laughed out of anger.
Such a rogue appearance, how can there be the slightest motherly style? But he was so determined to control himself that he put all his heart on her.
Tang Zhuozhao's eyes lit up where he couldn't see, like two hot little suns, if Huo Qiu didn't mention it, she would have almost forgotten about it.
There is only one auction house in Xijiang, and it is auctioned every January. It is full of antiques from the former dynasty. Whether it is true or false depends on luck and eyes.
But it is such an auction house. At this time in the previous life, an inconspicuous wooden hairpin was auctioned. The wooden core inside the wooden hairpin has been used for thousands of years, but it can relieve headaches, prolong life, detoxify and nourish the body. Such a small piece shows how precious it is.
