Seeing that the man was silent, Tang Zhuozhuo became even more excited. Her two slender arms were wrapped around Huo Qiu's neck like vines, and she was hugged loosely by him. Her eyes were bright, and she forced him to speak: "Isn't it? Don't worry about Jiaojiao on the tip, the emperor said it himself."
Huo Qiu didn't like her eccentric appearance, but he couldn't help reaching out and pinching her cheek, and said with a smile: "My Jiaojiao's skin is getting thicker and thicker now."
Laughter is laughter, but dinner is unavoidable.
The little girl was already thin and frail, and her bones were even more frail. She managed to grow some meat some time ago, and she was arguing about dieting, which made him angry before giving up.
This little squeamish person is used to being aggressive, and she can't let it go for a moment.
In this regard, Emperor Chongjian's attitude was exceptionally tough and unwavering.
Fearing his black face, Tang Zhuozhuo reluctantly left his side, picked out a few grains of white rice and put them into his mouth, frowning and humming angrily.
Huo Qiu looked up and saw how aggrieved she was now. He felt amused and annoyed at the same time, wiped the corners of his mouth slowly, and said in a cold voice, "Since Jiaojiao is so annoying to me, then this year's autumn hunting will definitely not want to." Going forward?"
Tang Zhuozhao's hands paused, and he looked at the dark sky outside, his bright face was full of bright light, she asked hesitantly: "The autumn hunt is about to start?"
Originally thought that there would be no autumn hunting this year, after all, it was more than half a month late, but now hearing what Huo Qiu meant, it was clearly decided.
Huo Qiu nodded slightly, and said, "Leave in five days."
With the approval of Emperor Chongjian, Tang Zhuozhuo finally calmed down from his depression because of Ye Shi's offensive words.
She has always liked such occasions, galloping on horses, singing songs, drinking and having fun, although she can't be too reckless, but after all, she can escape from the palace walls and enjoy herself for a while.
Thinking of the autumn hunting in previous years, Tang Zhuozhuo tugged on half of Huo Qiu's cuff and shook it gently. His eyes were as clear as sea water, and his voice was full of longing and hope, "I want to go, my concubine wants to go."
"In the early years, when I went with my father and brothers, I could only watch helplessly from the sidelines, and even the horses were not allowed to be touched." After all, it was two lives away, and she was a little difficult to think about it. But I can still recall bits and pieces of things.
Huo Qiu didn't speak, just hugged her lightly and delicately in his arms, lightly knocked her chin on the top of her head and caressed it gently, with a warmth that was ironing people's hearts every now and then.
He knew she was unhappy today.
He had already seen a lot of clues about Mrs. Ye from Liu Hanjiang's haggard face today, and he didn't care much about it, but he never thought Mrs. Ye would come to find this little woman.
The squeamish person is not always kind to others, she is used to being arrogant and domineering, but her heart is extremely soft, needless to say, just looking at her ecstatic appearance this evening, one can tell that she has started to worry again.
He kept saying that he was too lazy to meddle in other people's business, but in the end, he couldn't help but agree to his request.
His Jiaojiao, he never speaks to his heart, and is so cute.
How did Tang Zhuozhuo know that this man had begun to feel sorry for herself? She was a little emotional now, and she wanted to slip off him several times. Finally, seeing his frown in displeasure, she added with satisfaction: "The concubine has seen the emperor hunting look."
"Oh?" Huo Qiu became a little interested, wrapped a few strands of thick ink-like hair around her fingertips, and his voice was immersed in the night.
"At that time, the emperor was still the crown prince. He was a pure and cold person, and he treated everyone with an indifferent look." She frowned, and suddenly mentioned something, "At that time, it was so easy for the concubine to sneak around behind my brother and father's back." After getting out of the tent, I had to learn how to shoot and hunt like the noble girls from other families, and I just held the bow in my hand, and the emperor came over and reprimanded me."
Huo Qiu also remembered this incident. He happened to pass by that day, and saw the little girl gesture with the bow that was extremely asymmetrical to her own figure, and then saw the arrow shining coldly. He walked over and said a few words, and took her bow and arrow by the way.
It's just that he remembered that his tone at that time was softer and softer, and it was definitely not a reprimand.
"That thing is too dangerous, if you are not careful, you will hurt yourself." Huo Qiu said with deep eyes, rubbing her snow-white little finger.
Tang Zhuozhuo pursed his lips, and said bitterly after a while: "At that time, the concubine wanted to ask the emperor to teach her, but she saw that the noble ladies in the capital were rushing to surround the emperor, so naturally she didn't go. .”
Huo Qiu fed her some food again, and then said calmly: "I didn't teach you anything."
He only disliked those women.
Only then did Tang Zhuozhao feel satisfied and stopped talking.
After Mrs. Ye left that day, Tang Zhuozhuo sent people to keep a close eye on the movement, but after a few days passed, everything was as usual, and everyone was in peace, so she let go of her heart a lot.
Sunrise and sunset, time flies by.
In mid-October, the autumn hunting begins slowly.
The paddock is not far from the capital, but it took four or five days to get there.
The princes and nobles followed the emperor and the empress all the way, with great momentum and strict security, just as the autumn wind swept across the land, neither hot nor cold, it was a good time for hunting.
In the depths of the grassland, there is a stretch of green that can't be seen, and the autumn hunting paddock is set up in such a place.
Due to the exhaustion of travel and transportation, on the first night they arrived at the place, they went back to rest and recharge their batteries, hoping for a good performance tomorrow.
The starry night in the grassland seemed to be within reach. Tang Zhuozhuo put on a water-colored cloak and stepped out of his tent.
"Ma'am, it's windy at night, let's go back after we come out to get some air." An Xia said worried about her body, holding a lantern in his hand.
Tang Zhuozhao just pursed his lips and smiled softly, "I'll be back later."
When she came out, she realized that she was far from the only one who couldn't sleep. The tents were next to each other on the huge pasture, and the lights of many lanterns flickered at night, like fireflies flying around.
The tents of the emperor and empress were separated, and the male and female relatives were afraid of colliding with each other, so they were a little far away.
Everything in the grassland is completely different from that in Kyoto. The wind here is powerful and howls past, but it is extremely soft and comfortable when it blows on the face. Everything is slow and not dry. Tang Zhuozhao squinted his eyes comfortably.
She deliberately avoided the crowd and chose another slightly dark place. She was a little tired from walking, so she sat down with a handkerchief and rested for a while. sound.
She and An Xia happened to be sitting behind a few bushes. The night wind blew, and the shadows were vague, and the shadows of people and trees were confused.
Away from a few bushes, Tang Zhuozhuo frowned slightly, and just about to stand up, he heard the woman's hoarse and anxious voice: "The emperor doesn't choose a talent show, and now my mother can't send you to the palace no matter how much she wants. This hunting opportunity is rare, you are best at riding and shooting, you must perform well in the next few days, mother has already told your father and king in advance."
Tang Zhuozhao's face turned cold, he held his breath and remained silent, An Xia didn't dare to move a little.
This... is clearly the voice of Princess Nanping!
The other person did not make a sound, Nanping Wangfei was a little anxious, as if she pushed that person, and muttered bitterly: "Who did you follow after your temper?!"
"You are a dignified daughter of the royal family, what is the difference in your background and appearance? A concubine is wronged, why are you out of your mind?"
This time Zhu Liu finally moved, she probably listened too much, her voice was a little numb, "Mother, don't waste time on me, the third younger sister and the fifth younger sister really want to enter the palace, you go and persuade them to go. "
Princess Nanping was so angry that she fell on her back, pointed at Zhu Liulian and said that she was not a filial daughter. After she calmed down, she had no choice but to persuade her: "You and the queen are close friends in the boudoir. We have been playing with each other since we were young. Just go and beg her. I don’t even think about it day and night.”
Zhu Liu's voice was colder this time, and her eyes were a little erratic, "Because I used to be a close friend in the boudoir, and my brother slandered her in various ways, now I don't even have the face to see her, let alone enter the palace?"
"Besides, it is not my wish to enter the palace, so there is no need to persuade my mother."
Speaking of which, Princess Nanping was too disheartened to care about her anymore, so she went back with the help of her servant girl.
As soon as she left, Tang Zhuozhao moved and walked out from behind the bushes.
On the other hand, Zhu Liu stretched her waist, with a particularly relaxed expression, clapped hands with Tang Zhuozhuo as before, looked up and down, and then whistled, "The empress is getting better at listening to corners."
Tang Zhuozhuo also laughed, glanced at the direction in which Princess Nanping was leaving, and asked, "It seems that the princess really wants you to enter the palace?"
Zhu Liu didn't shy away from it either, a cold look formed between her eyebrows, she snorted coldly: "Don't talk about my mother, even that idiot Zhu Lu has come to persuade you again and again, just trying to get rid of people."
Tang Zhuozhuo closed his eyes, the last time Zhu Lu sent the painting to Huo Qiu, causing plague, the King of Nanping personally arrested him and ordered him to be punished, and he was dragged back to the palace for confinement after he was beaten until he was barely alive.
Unexpectedly, now there is still time to jump around.
"Your body looks much better?"
As he spoke, Zhu Liu glanced at the end of his eyes, and pulled out a black-brown snake-like long whip from his waist. When the whip went down, there was an extremely suppressed muffled groan. Tang Zhuozhuo saw the man hissing while clutching his arms in embarrassment. Breathing in, a smile suddenly appeared.
After being whipped like this, the man was so painful that the smile on his face was a bit ferocious, he walked out inhaling the air-conditioning, first glanced at Tang Zhuozhuo, and angrily said to Zhu Liu, "Can you not be so indiscriminate in your attack?" ?”
Zhu Liu came over to protect Tang Zhuozhuo behind her, and said in a cold voice, "Khan respects himself, so as not to offend the empress."
The man's face was gradually outlined in the moonlight, but the originally dark and rough face was even darker. Tang Zhuozhuo poked his head out behind Zhu Liu, looking like he was watching a show.
Wuta Mu regretted his intestines, he left his huge prairie people alone, and rushed to the autumn hunting paddock, but this woman had such a cold face in the end.
He took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to turn around and leave.
Tang Zhuozhuo squeezed Zhu Liu's shoulders, looked up and down the tower screen, she and this man really disappeared after two lifetimes.
"I haven't seen you for two years, but Khan is getting more and more..." Tang Zhuozhuo was speechless, not knowing what to praise him for.
Zhu Liu lifted her eyelids upwards, retracted the whip in her hand, and said, "How can it be more? It's even more ugly."
Roof Tower Mu's gaze was colder than the three or nine days of falling snow, several veins popped out on the back of his hand, he took a deep breath, frowned and said to Zhu Liu, "I'm here this time, and I'm just asking if you will marry me? "
