Tang Zhuozhuo blushed a little, but his eyes were still hooked on him, and he slowly stretched out his little finger to hook the sachet on the man's body to play with.
The man has always been very tight-lipped, and never praised her very much, but he picked out a lot of faults, and now he is talking about love like this, which makes her, who is usually the most shameless, feel a little ashamed.
"Why does the emperor say these things?"
Huo Qiu saw that some blood finally appeared on her face, and some warmth finally appeared in her deep eyes.
"It's nothing, go to sleep, it won't hurt when you get up early tomorrow."
Tang Zhuozhao was indeed a little sleepy, and he couldn't help but close his eyes after drinking a bowl of medicine.
Huo Qiu just put the person on the bed at this time, and the moment he turned around, a raging storm was brewing in his eyes, he opened the curtain, the cold wind poured on his body, and Li Desheng was guarding outside.
"Your Majesty, there is news about Wang Yi. He was indeed rescued by the sixth prince."
Huo Qiu was not surprised, lifted his lips and showed a sarcasm smile, and asked: "Did you find out who rescued it?"
"Your Majesty, we haven't found out yet, but according to the report from the secret guard, it seems that Wang Yi's broken tendons and hamstrings have been reconnected, and now he is no different from a normal person after being recuperated."
Naturally, they used a lot of torture when they imprisoned him, and it can even be said that they only hang him for a breath, and he can be saved like this. There are only a handful of people with such superb medical skills in the world.
When the emperor became suspicious, the first person to be suspected was Jiang Jianxi, who was known as a genius doctor.
As if he knew what Huo Qiu was thinking, Quan An frowned and said: "The dark guards have been watching Jiang Jianxi all day long, but they didn't realize that he had left the capital, and he spent the whole day taking medicine and making alchemy, or making tea and reading medical books. These are nothing else.”
Huo Qiu didn't seem to care much about Wang Yi's affairs, and turned around to ask about Huo Qi's activities.
"The Sixth Prince has been interacting frequently with the Mongols recently, and seems to have the intention of getting in touch."
Huo Qiu concentrated, remembering how much Wutamu cared about the daughter of the first wife in Nanping Palace, but he was not very worried.
If this Mongolian Khan really had a different mind, why would he come here after several years of autumn hunting
==
After several days of rain, Tang Zhuozhuo also suffered from severe pain for several days. It was not until the fourth day that the pain in his lower abdomen completely dissipated. It was really a small death.
Autumn hunting usually takes half a month. Now more than half of the days have passed, and the female family members have also started to learn how to ride and shoot. Although it is only a few superficial, it can be regarded as an eye-opener.
This day, Tang Zhuozhuo had just changed his riding clothes to wash up, and Zhu Liu came in. She sat down and rested for a while, and suddenly asked: "Zhuo Zhuo, what do you think of the prince of Qingyuan?"
Caught off guard by this question, Tang Zhuozhao was also stunned for a moment, then blinked and got closer to Zhu Liu.
"I haven't noticed it before, why did I mention him all of a sudden?"
"My concubine just exchanged posts with the Qingyuan Hou's mansion, and settled the marriage between me and Qingyuan Hou Shizi." When Zhu Liu said this, she was extremely calm, without anxiety or expectation, as if she was just saying that today's lunch is served. nothing the same.
Tang Zhuozhuo's heart suffocated, she grabbed Zhu Liubainen's hand, her face full of disbelief: "Liuli, why do you..."
"...Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
Her beautiful eyes stared a little round, her tone was still in disbelief, and her subordinates couldn't help exerting some force.
Zhu Liu turned to comfort her, her cherry lips parted lightly, without any other emotion, "I heard from my concubine that the son is a good man, the inner house is clean and he is not a womanizer, and the husband and wife of Qingyuan are also very kind, and it is easy to get along when married. .”
After finishing speaking, she hooked the corners of her lips and smiled softly: "Speaking of which, I'm still a year older than you. Why should I marry myself this year, or I'll be an old girl."
Tang Zhuozhuo felt a little distressed when she saw it. She couldn't understand Zhu Liu's feelings for Rota Mu. Her lips twitched for a moment, and she persuaded: "Why do you do this? Since he came with a betrothal gift, he was sincere. Just accept it, why bother..."
Why force yourself to marry someone you've never met before
Don't you feel wronged yourself
It's hard for her to say these words, but Zhu Liu understands them all.
"Zhao'er, have you ever imagined that one day when you are old and your beauty is gone, many newcomers will be added to the emperor's side, and Yingying and Yanyan will go to your palace every day to greet you?"
Zhu Liu's black pupils were distinct, and his voice was amazing, but Tang Zhuozhao was taken aback by the question.
She has been subconsciously avoiding this question.
Huo Qiu is not a womanizer, in the six months since she was reborn, he has not been to other people's palaces, not even once.
Coupled with being favored by him so much, Tang Zhuozhuo almost really thought that life would pass by like this gradually, but in the end it couldn't be, they were not only husband and wife, but also the empress.
Thinking of it this way, Tang Zhuozhuo's interest faded, she pinched a fresh and tender rose with her fingertips, and said helplessly, "Why didn't you think about it?"
"But that kind of scene is not something I can avoid if I want to. I have enjoyed the status above ten thousand people and the favor of the emperor, so I have to shoulder the corresponding responsibilities. It is the queen's duty to assist the harem."
Zhu Liu's eyes turned gray, she shook her head, and muttered to herself: "I can't stand it, just thinking about that scene makes my heart ache."
"That's why I am willing to marry into Qingyuan Houfu."
Although her voice was low, she spoke every word with strength. Tang Zhuozhuo stroked her black hair with his slender fingers, and said softly, "Liuli, have you thought about it?"
"If you really think about it, I'll go to His Majesty to give the imperial decree to the Yangdao. At least it will be decent, so that the people in the Qingyuan Houfu will not dare to bully you."
Zhu Liu wiped the corners of her eyes carelessly with a handkerchief, and said forcefully, "Let's talk about it when we get back to Beijing."
As soon as Zhu Liu left, the smile on Tang Zhuozhuo's face gradually faded. She picked up the small silver scissors to trim the fresh flower branches that had just been changed, and turned her head to ask An Xia who brought the pastry, "The prince of Qingyuan is in the wind in Kyoto?" How's the review?"
When An Xia heard her master ask about this, she regained her energy and told the rumors she had heard one by one.
"Your Majesty, Prince Hou of Qingyuan traveled so far. This time he traveled for several years, and he just came back not long ago." An Xia didn't know what he had thought of, and suddenly said, "Madam, did you go to watch yesterday's riding and shooting? It was Prince Hou of Qingyuan. To win the first prize, to run so fast on a horse, and to hit the bull's-eye with an arrow, I heard that the emperor has given him a reward."
The little silver scissors in Tang Zhuozhuo's hand paused on the flower branch, then she concentrated on pruning, frowning and whispering: "Really? That's really good."
Just don't know that behind this son's mask that is as bright as the moon, but the inside is exactly the same
Later, Huo Qiu lifted the curtain and came in.
Here, unlike in the palace, there is no need to deal with so many tedious government affairs, so it is a rare leisure time.
It was nearly November, and it was grassland again, so it was extra cold. Seeing him coming in, Tang Zhuozhuo put down the scissors with a smile, and walked over to untie his cloak.
She is so obedient, with an unknown fragrance of flowers on her body, which smells so good, Huo Qiu raised her eyebrows, and said in a clear voice, "Why are you so obedient today?"
Tang Zhuozhuo pursed his lips and smiled lightly, his eyes were full of charm, the weakness and paleness of a few days ago faded away, and even his voice became a little lighter: "When has the concubine been misbehaving?"
As soon as these words came out, An Xia and Zi Huan lowered their heads together, a little guilty.
My master was spoiled more and more pampered by the emperor. During the confinement period, the master cried so much that his body was full of tears. He froze and promised a lot of benefits, and even personally took a hot handkerchief to the master. On the lower abdomen, repeatedly tested the temperature.
This kind of man is hard to find in ordinary people's houses with lanterns on, but he is the most noble one in this world.
I just don't know if my master, after receiving such meticulous care from His Majesty, can still endure the hardships and alienation in the future.
The new man replaces the old man, this has been the case since ancient times.
The curtain was opened to let in some cold wind, Huo Qiu was afraid that she would be chilled, so he stood at the door and waited for his body to warm up before wrapping the fragrant and soft little girl in his arms.
"Is there anything to do tonight?"
Tang Zhuozhuo nodded, pointing to the red berries that were dried yesterday and the vase at the corner of the wall, and said: "The concubine thought about it several times today, mashed the fruit and squeezed out the juice, and then crushed the petals. Make flower mud, dry it together for more than ten days, and add some peach fruity spices when it is ready, the finished lip balm will definitely look good."
Huo Qiu's eyes lingered on her pink lips for a while, and his voice was clear with a slight smile, "Why do you add peach-flavored spices?"
Tang Zhuozhuo raised his eyes, and changed his words politely: "Then let's add a pear flavor."
Although she said this, she looked at Huo Qiu with anger.
The man asked knowingly.
Huo Qiu rubbed her bright red lips, the chill around her body dissipated like a sudden warm sun, he laughed a few times, put his arms around her and coaxed pointedly: "Just add peach flavor, sweet and delicious , I am happy."
"I really can't remember what day it is today?"
Tang Zhuozhao didn't answer, but the corners of his eyes and brows were smudged with a smile. Since getting up in the morning, the two maids have been talking about her birthday today, if they are in the palace, they must have a good time.
Tang Zhuozhuo didn't seem to care much, but he didn't realize that this man still remembered these things.
"Has Your Majesty prepared birthday gifts for the ministers and concubines?"
No need to think, since this man came to ask her, he must have prepared for it.
The past two days have been uneasy, because of the matter between the Prince of Nanping and the second daughter of Qi Guogong, there is a lot of trouble in the city, and those gossips can't be suppressed.
In the end, there was no way out, no matter how reluctant Zhu Lu was, he still entered Qi Guogong's tent, but before he could say a few words, he was beaten out with several sticks.
Under the eyes of everyone, Qi Guogong's roar continued for a long time, and the matter completely froze.
Outsiders thought that what Duke Qi put down that day and night were just angry words, but they didn't think that what he said was what was in his heart.
Girls in Duke Qi's mansion will either never marry for life, but if they want to marry, they must be a good man who truly cherishes the girl and has good conduct.
It was like an invisible slap on the face of the Nanping Prince's Mansion, and it was ashamed to give it to everyone in the mansion.
And the thorough investigation that was said that day naturally became empty talk and left nothing to be desired.
While sighing and watching the play, Tang Zhuozhuo felt a little bit sorry for the second girl who had only met once.
Huo Qiu narrowed his eyes, and ordered Li Desheng to bring the things up.
A picture scroll lying quietly in a brocade box, white scroll and black background, the collision of colors is particularly exciting.
Tang Zhuozhuo felt something in his heart, took the picture scroll and slowly spread it on the desk, until the end of the scroll, the white jacket was set against the plain snow, the woman on top was smiling sweetly, a small face was faintly visible The charm of people is still green after all.
The background is the Luoyin Bridge covered in snow.
Tang Zhuozhao remembered very clearly that she fell into the water near this bridge, and the cold water in winter almost killed her.
