After a night of absurdity, Tang Zhuozhuo couldn't get up early in the morning of the second day, but Huo Qiu was in a good mood. After getting dressed, he walked to the bed. Through several layers of thin bed curtains, he saw her half-opened eyes in a daze. She curled her lips and bent over to hug her, coaxing her softly like a child: "It's still early, I ordered someone to prepare breakfast, and Jiaojiao will wake up and eat after she sleeps again."
After finishing speaking, he frowned, stroked her fair forehead, and said, "Don't stay in bed."
Tang Zhuozhuo frowned impatiently, hugged the quilt and shrank to the corner of the bed, a small lump suddenly bulged on the wide bed.
I don't want to talk to this unrestrained man at all.
Huo Qiu saw that her two jade lotus-like arms were covered with dots of red marks, like red plum blossoms blooming in the winter snow, which he sucked out last night when he couldn't restrain his emotion.
This little delicate body is becoming more and more untouchable now, he clearly intends to be tender, but every second day his whole body is covered with bruises.
It still hurts to see him.
But such a sensitive body really made him obsessed and perverted.
Huo Qiu strode out of Changchun Palace, Yuyu was already waiting outside.
And when Tang Zhuozhuo really woke up, it was already high in the sun.
The weather in October in Kyoto is neither too hot nor too cold, and today the sun came out again, and the sky outside is so blue that you can’t even see a few clouds. If the temperature drops a little bit, you will have to change into a small jacket.
Tang Zhuozhao was lying on the edge of the pool, the warm water was like a pair of generous hands, gently pinching her limbs and shoulders, Zihuan sprinkled some petals on the water, she closed her eyes and sighed comfortably.
"Your Majesty, Madam Diange University Scholar is here."
Tang Zhuozhao opened his eyes, repeated the words, and then waved his hand with a wry smile: "I'm so sorry, I'll be here soon."
Huo Qiu succeeded to the throne, and Liu Hanjiang, who was highly valued, was second only to Han Suanzi. He was an official scholar of the Palace Pavilion, and his wife was naturally Ye Shi.
Ye's people are low-key and calm-tempered. Now that they hurried into the palace without saying a word, there must be something urgent, and this matter has something to do with Jiang Jianxi in all likelihood.
Waiting in the outer hall, Mrs. Ye took a sip of green tea from time to time, and immediately felt the fragrance on her lips and teeth, and the aftertaste was lingering. She paused, bowed her head in silence, her beautiful face was calm, only her eyes were still a little smoldering.
In less than a cup of tea, Tang Zhuozhuo came out surrounded by court ladies. Ye put down the teacup carved in blue and white in his hand, got up and saluted respectfully, and was quickly lifted up by Tang Zhuozhuo.
"Senior sister, there is no need to be polite."
Following her strength, Ye stood up, and hooked the corners of his lips forcefully. When Tang Zhuozhuo got close to her, he realized that her complexion was not very good, so he turned around and waved at the waiter, and said in a loose voice, "Everyone go down."
When only she and Ye Shi were left in the empty hall, Tang Zhuozhuo shook her cold hand and frowned, asking, "Senior Sister, what happened?"
Mrs. Ye stared straight at her for a moment, a little silver light gradually came into her eyes, Tang Zhuo Zhuo didn't know why, so she wanted to ask a question, and saw Mrs. Ye bent down as if she was overwhelmed, covering her face and only shedding tears.
Tang Zhuozhao couldn't react for a while. In her eyes, Mrs. Ye had always been calm and unhurried. He was always calm and indifferent, and he never even panicked for a moment.
Ye Shi sobbed extremely suppressedly, even a little out of breath. After she calmed down a bit, Tang Zhuozhuo passed the handkerchief in his hand, stroked her undulating back, and said softly: "Senior sister, wipe away your tears first."
Ye Shi also felt that she had lost her composure at this time, she wiped the corners of her eyes, then smiled, lowered her head and said, "I told the empress to read a joke."
Tang Zhuozhuo shook his head slightly, his expression was a little loose, and he asked: "But did you have a conflict with Mr. Liu?"
Mrs. Ye shook her head, "The minister's wife came to look for the empress today, and the husband didn't know about it." When she said this, Tang Zhuozhuo became even more curious, but he didn't know how to ask for a while.
As if seeing Tang Zhuozhao's doubts, Ye Shi twisted the handkerchief, bit her lower lip and said slowly: "Last night, Master sneaked into the inner courtyard of the house and said that he would take Xiaoxiao away."
Tang Zhuozhuo's pupils shrank suddenly, and she slowly tightened her jade fingers holding the armrest of the bench, "Why is this?"
Tang Zhuozhuo had seen Liu Xiaoxiao's child more than once, and he had a lively personality. What did Jiang Jianxi mean when he suddenly said that he wanted to take that child away
But Ye Shi suddenly didn't want to say anything, her expression was a little dazed and painful, she was so choked up several times that she couldn't speak, and finally raised her head with difficulty, but her pretty face was full of a kind of determination to break the boat.
Tang Zhuozhuo's heart skipped a beat.
"Forget it, the minister's wife came to the empress today, so naturally she didn't intend to ask for this face." Ye Shi suddenly calmed down, only her voice was trembling slightly, and she didn't look at Tang Zhuozhuo's face, just caring about herself Said: "Xiaoxiao's surname is not Liu."
Tang Zhuozhuo had felt something in his heart earlier, but when he heard Ye Shi say this with his own ears, he still felt a deep sadness from his body to his heart. As expected, Ye Shi added with a wry smile: "Xiaoxiao is me and Jiang Jian. West's child."
These words were like thunder on the ground, and Tang Zhuozhao's breathing slowed down a bit. She slowly got up from the chair, and for a moment she even thought that Mrs. Ye was just teasing her to have fun.
Liu Xiaoxiao... is Jiang Jianxi's child
How can this be
Tang Zhuozhao's lips moved a few times, his throat seemed to be blocked by a ball of cotton wool, and he couldn't make any sound for a long time.
After finally calming down, she heard her own voice ask clearly and calmly: "Does Mr. Liu know about this?"
Just based on Ye Shi's few words, Tang Zhuozhuo imagined countless pictures in his mind, which was very messy.
Mrs. Ye met Shang Tang Zhuozhao's gaze, and nodded slowly, "Of course my husband knows, he has always regarded Xiaoxiao as his own, and has never thought of having a child all these years."
Tang Zhuozhao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then what did Mr. Liu say about this matter?" Seeing Ye's confusion, Tang Zhuozhuo sighed inwardly, and then asked.
Ye Shi pursed her lips, her face paler.
"Your husband said to follow my wishes, so I naturally want to bring Xiaoxiao by my side." No matter how calm Ye was, she was still a weak woman, and she couldn't bear the situation of being separated from her flesh and blood.
After she finished speaking, she raised her head and said, "Although Xiaoxiao was just an accident caused by me, she is my fate!"
Tang Zhuozhuo stretched out his hands and rubbed the aching brows, he should understand how she feels as a mother, but there are too many things that puzzle her now.
She knew how Jiang Jianxi was, since she wasn't someone who would sneak in and force women, so where did Liu Xiaoxiao come from
When Ye mentioned Jiang Jianxi in the past, it was very natural, and she could even calmly call her master, which shows that Jiang Jianxi does not exist in her heart.
For a moment, Tang Zhuozhuo was very subtle.
Ye Shi also felt embarrassed, her face was dull, but she still gritted her teeth and begged: "Major, can you tell him? You can talk to him about anything, but Xiaoxiao, and only her, I can't accept it anyway."
"I can't do anything about this matter." Tang Zhuozhuo said slowly, and after a while, he spread his hands silently, and there was also some helplessness in his voice.
Now at this point, it's fine if Jiang Jianxi doesn't come to find her, she really doesn't want to mess with him, not to mention she is an outsider, how can she intervene in such a matter.
"I won't embarrass my mother, I'm just making a difference with my mother in advance." Ye Shi suddenly suppressed all her emotions and became extremely serious and serious. She took out a small kit from her bosom and handed it to Tang Zhuozhuo .
The kit was warm and fragrant, and Tang Zhuozhuo knew what was inside without opening it. She frowned and pushed the kit back into Ye Shi's arms, "It's too precious, Madam, keep it for yourself."
She couldn't help much, and naturally she didn't have the face to collect such a precious item.
Mrs. Ye held her hand and said: "I don't have anything on my body that my mother would like. Only this elixir may come in handy in the future. I came here today just to ask my mother to say something."
Having said that, she closed her eyes.
"If something happens to Xiaoxiao in the future, can the empress remember her past friendship and keep her safe?"
"I don't want to be rich, I don't want to be famous, but I want to be safe forever."
Ye's eyes full of hope made Tang Zhuozhuo's heart ache, and he took the kit away like a ghost, then tilted his head and asked in a low voice: "What are you going to do?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry, my wife will not act recklessly. As long as Master doesn't take Xiaoxiao away, everything will naturally go according to everyone's wish."
Even now, she still calls Jiang Jianxi her master.
When Mrs. Ye left the Changchun Palace, her complexion had returned to normal, and she could no longer see the collapse in the palace.
Her confidant servant girl waited around, and couldn't help but asked when she saw this: "Ma'am, you choose left and right, why did you finally choose the queen empress to rely on the young lady?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Ye smiled gently, and said: "The empress is young, and she looks like she likes Xiaoxiao very much. It is Xiaoxiao's dream to have such a person protecting her."
What's more, if something really happens in the future, no matter how thoughtful the subordinates are, they won't be as light as the Tang family's words.
This talisman is for her to prepare for a rainy day, but there may be such a day in the future, so the elixir is worth it.
It was a fine day at night, when layers of dark clouds suddenly poured out, one stroke after another was extremely magnificent, and a heavy rain was brewing.
Tang Zhuozhao was thinking about something in his heart, so naturally he couldn't concentrate, and stared straight out of the window, lost in thought.
Huo Qiu deliberately arranged many things in advance today, and hurriedly came to accompany this little woman to have dinner, but when the dishes were brought, she rested her chin on her hand, her eyes were empty.
"Jiaojiao is picky eater again?"
The man's voice was full-bodied and deliberately lowered, like a feather slowly gliding past his ears, crisp and numb.
But even so, Tang Zhuozhao just slightly raised his eyelids, glanced at the dishes on the table without much interest, and simply tilted his head: "Don't eat."
Huo Qiu's face suddenly darkened, he put down his chopsticks slowly, and before he could speak, Tang Zhuozhuo changed his face, the moles at the corners of her eyes shone with tears, and she had a small temper.
"Is the emperor wanting a vicious minister and concubine again?" Her face was a little red, really like the first peach blossom blooming in the mountain temple.
Huo Qiu's eyes flashed with a slight smile, and he didn't speak, just watched her and continued talking nonsense.
Tang Zhuozhuo was too good at handling this man. She walked up to him and rolled up a corner of her smoky sleeves, revealing a large area of white and delicate skin. She pointed to the bruises on her head and complained softly: "It still hurts today. The emperor Huizi has to show his concubine a serious face again."
This would be really wronged, Tang Zhuozhuo became more and more lawless, pointed at his chest and said: "I have been saying that my concubine is your Jiaojiao all day long, and it was all to deceive my concubine."
Huo Qiu couldn't help laughing, although it wasn't the first time he saw this woman change her face, every time he couldn't stop wanting to bully her even more.
