For the next few days, Zhu Liu was kept in her tent by Tang Zhuozhuo, and no one dared to disturb her enjoyment of admiring flowers and making tea all day long.
When Mu Ge was told for the third time that the county magistrate was in the queen's tent, he politely thanked him and walked back. This time, even his steps were much lighter than when he came here.
Seeing that Qiu Lie was about to end, Zhu Liu could not come out for a few days after hiding like this, it seemed that he really gave up on the roof curtain.
Thinking of this, Mu Ge felt a little relieved.
The maid beside her didn't understand the reason, she lowered her voice and asked, "Miss, what should we do if we can't see the county master now?"
Mu Ge hooked her lips, wearing a long skirt with loose black hair, smiling innocently and harmlessly, she turned her head to look at the tent in the distance, and whispered softly: "I can't see it, neither can Khan. .”
As long as the two of them don't meet each other, she can sleep peacefully when the marriage of the head of Liuli County is confirmed.
When there were still three days left in the autumn hunt, Tang Zhuozhuo ordered someone to send Zhu Liu back to her tent, and then Zihuan heard Zihuan whisper in her ear, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Li is here."
A slight smile flashed across Tang Zhuozhuo's originally lazy eyes, and after he waved his hand, Li Desheng lifted the curtain and walked in with a smile on his face.
"It's still warm here, Madam." Li Desheng saluted with a flick of his whisk, his slightly round face looked extraordinarily festive.
"Elder-in-law, is it true that the emperor's place is still warm?" Tang Zhuozhuo raised his eyebrows, and asked with a half-smile, his exquisite face was glowing like jade even at night.
Li Desheng laughed a few times, according to him, the emperor is really not as particular about this master's account. A few days ago, this master had menstruation, and every time he yelled that it hurts, he would add more charcoal fire and heater to the tent.
"Is the emperor finished?"
Li Desheng nodded hastily, and said with a smile: "I just finished approving the papers, no, call the slaves to invite the empress to have dinner."
Through the window with only a small opening, Tang Zhuozhuo saw the completely dark sky outside, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked, "What time is it? The emperor hasn't eaten yet?"
Li Desheng just nodded and didn't speak, Tang Zhuozhuo knew it in his heart. Emperor Chongjian was a good emperor who loved the people like his own son, but he didn't take good care of himself enough. He piled up a hill of papers, and he often had to frown and read them before he was willing to eat and rest, and he often stayed up late at night.
Outside the emperor's tent, there were rows of guards standing upright. The long swords they wore shone down in the moonlight with a chilling light. When Tang Zhuozhuo walked in, the man was sitting on a chair rubbing his brows, his expression It couldn't be colder.
Xu Shi heard her footsteps, Huo Qiu opened his eyes, and told Li Desheng: "Chuan Shan, ask me to make more dishes that the queen likes."
Tang Zhuozhuo walked up to him in a few steps, caught a glimpse of the tiredness hidden in the depths of his eyebrows, stretched out his fingers to rub him a few times, and could not help complaining in a soft voice: "The concubine told the emperor It's over, your body is important, it's only been a few days, and the emperor is just a deaf ear."
If this goes on for a long time, even the body that has practiced martial arts all year round will not be able to survive it!
The little girl just touched his shoulders, she was a small and tender ball, and she had to worry about her feet when rubbing the center of his brows, and her softest complaints could be heard in his ears, Huo Qiu was about to pull her into him. In his arms, he responded with a smile: "I will pay more attention next time."
I said I would pay more attention, but in fact it was the same every time.
Tang Zhuozhao couldn't help but snorted, and then said: "Why don't you ask people to prepare two servings of medicinal food every day, not only for the concubines, but also for the emperor to take care of it."
Li Desheng just came in with two cups of tea when he heard such words, his heart trembled, and his steps slowed down.
This master really dares to say anything, and he doesn't look at who is standing in front of him. I am afraid that no one in this world dares to speak to His Majesty like this again.
Unable to bear the favor of Emperor Chongjian, he narrowed his eyebrows and grabbed Tang Zhuozhuo's tender little finger, no matter how tough his words were, he softened seven points, "Does it still hurt today?"
Tang Zhuozhuo turned his head away and whispered to him: "I left a few days ago, why does Your Majesty always ask this?"
Was it because she was so frightened by her appearance in those few days
Because it is on the grassland, there are mostly wild game in the food, which removes the fishy smell and tastes fresh but not greasy.
Tang Zhuozhao was much quieter than when he was eating, his fair face was hidden under the black hair, when he raised his head, it was really only the size of a palm, and he was so thin that he was so thin.
Huo Qiu's heart suddenly seemed to be pricked by a needle. He put a piece of tender meat in Tang Zhuozhao's bowl, but she pulled it aside again, without saying a word, just refusing to eat it.
Seeing the man slowly frowning, Tang Zhuozhuo wiped his hands and raised his head. His eyes were black and white, clearly an innocent expression, but the moles at the corners of his eyes and the flowers at the center of his brows stole the limelight. The stock is extremely delicate and delicate.
"The concubines don't eat this, it smells like oil." She wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said in a delicate voice.
Huo Qiu was about to tell her not to be picky eaters, when he saw the little woman came up to her, hooking the sachet around his waist to play with, and when she reached the mouth of her throat, the meaning changed abruptly: "Tomorrow I will ask you to change some more." A light and fresh pattern?"
Tang Zhuozhuo smiled complacently and did not hide it, which only made Huo Qiu secretly sigh.
Knowing that she is proud of being favored, but not only can she not have the slightest thought of reprimanding her, she even wants to give this favor some more.
I don't know if I was poisoned or this woman is too good at handling.
Tang Zhuozhuo felt a little sleepy after arguing for a while, and was lazily held in Huo Qiu's arms and said in a soft voice: "Counting the time, Liuli's marriage should be settled, the emperor feels that Khan and Prince Qingyuan are two people. Who is better?"
"Qingyuan Hou Shizi." After a long silence, Huo Qiu spat out these five words.
Tang Zhuozhuo was dumb, and laughed after a while, and said: "I also feel that Qingyuan is better for the prince, the inner house is clean, and the temper is gentle, but the girl next to Khan is not honest, it seems that he will come."
Huo Qiu curled his lips, pulled the little girl's long hair back, and said in a hoarse voice: "Jiaojiao has never cared so much about me."
The concubines in the palace, as long as they don't offend her, she won't take a look at them. Some time ago, she even took the initiative to help him arrange the draft.
This meeting is to protect the shortcomings, for fear that others will bully the head of Liuli county.
Huo Qiu's eyes were deep, and he stroked her soft long hair until his arms were numb before he laughed.
What is he doing
Looking down, the delicate eyes in her arms were half-opened and half-closed, occasionally humming softly, but she was sleepy.
In the early morning of the second day, Tang Zhuozhuo got up earlier, because the noise outside was really loud.
An Xia and Zi Huan came in with a washbasin, Tang Zhuozhuo rinsed his mouth, cleaned his face, and asked, listening to the noisy voices outside, "Why is it so noisy today?"
The small window in the tent was opened, and when I looked out, I saw the blue sky at a glance, and I couldn't even see a cloud. The sun came out early, bringing some warmth in this weather.
"Your Majesty, there is a riding competition today, both male and female guests can participate, it is so lively this early in the morning.
"I heard that the emperor and the empress dowager will play in person."
The news had already spread among the maids and servants serving below, An Xia only listened to a few words briefly, and when Tang Zhuozhuo asked, she just answered like that.
Tang Zhuozhuo had just picked out a pear-shaped flower tin to stick on his forehead. The woman reflected in the bronze mirror was slender and graceful. Her small face couldn't be more delicate. The burning tears and moles complement each other, so charming that water can drip out.
Hearing this now, the movements of her hands couldn't help but pause, a little hesitant and felt that she had listened to the left, "The queen mother is also going to play?"
If Guan Shi was going to watch such an event, she would certainly believe it, but if she said she was going to play in person, it didn't sound real after all.
Just when she was still wondering, Sui Chang, Li Desheng's apprentice, came in, saw that she was awake, and saluted her: "Mother, the emperor asked you to go to the racetrack."
Even if Sui Chang didn't come this time, she would naturally go. Such excitement is rare.
When she arrived, she immediately saw Guan who was sitting next to Huo Qiu, who was dressed plainly. The latter had a gentle smile in his eyes, but the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes couldn't be concealed.
Time is not forgiving, just a few months of hard work, it seems that more than ten years in the deep palace have been added to her body, Tang Zhuozhuo looked at it, and he didn't know what it was like.
But no matter how unpleasant it was, it was not easy to show it in front of people. She saluted very naturally, and before she could say anything, Guan held her hand and looked at her for a long time.
"Is Jiaojiao feeling better? She was so tightly hidden by the emperor a while ago, that the Ai family didn't see her very often."
Tang Zhuozhuo's face slowly turned red, and she explained in a low voice: "It's just some minor problems, I will trouble my mother."
Huo Qiu didn't even lift his eyelids, he just twirled the jade wrench on his thumb, and said indifferently: "The empress came just in time, the women's families are about to start the competition."
Following the man's gaze, most of the girls standing on the huge track are young girls who have not left the court. The smiles on their faces are brighter than the sun in the sky, and they are very youthful and energetic.
Having not seen such a scene for a long time, Tang Zhuozhuo actually had some different emotions at first glance.
These people are as tender as the first ray of light in the morning, more like flower bones trembling with dew and revealing their fragrance.
In contrast, I seem to be old, obviously only nineteen years old.
Standing at the front, Zhu Liu seemed to have noticed something, turned her head and glanced at her, then pursed her lips calmly, and followed those noble girls to greet her.
Zhu Liu is wearing moon-white clothes today, her long hair like thick ink is tied into a high ponytail, her figure is slim and graceful, her eyebrows are like distant mountains, making Ji Han and the roof curtains sitting beside her slightly bright eyes closed.
No matter how serious and generous Guan's face was, she occasionally turned her head and whispered to Tang Zhuozhuo, "Jiaojiao looks at the emperor's face, it's so gloomy like anything, but in fact, he just wants you to praise him, and he will do it later." going to play."
Whether Guan's voice was loud or not, Huo Qiu's face twitched, and he slowly closed his eyes.
They shouldn't be called together.
Tang Zhuozhuo endured it, but he still couldn't help curling the corners of his lips in the dark, taking advantage of the eyes of the people below who were all on those female relatives, he moved a few steps to the man's side, and boasted softly: "The emperor's riding skills are amazing!" It’s amazing, it’s sure to shine and win the championship in one fell swoop.”
