Huo Qiu's sword eyebrows slanted into his temples, although when he frowned he was very sinister and made people breathless, but when he smiled, he was very pretty, showing his masculinity.
When Tang Zhuozhuo cleaned his hands and walked to him to grind ink, he smiled slightly, but the smile was too short, and she disappeared before she recovered.
For a moment, she suspected that she was looking to the left, and she did not speak, but quietly studied ink. There was an ice basin in the study, but it was not too hot, and the temperature was suitable. The room was full of the faint bamboo fragrance, full of artistic conception.
No one speaks, but it doesn't appear to be silent. Huo Qiu writes, Tang Zhuozhuo concentrates on watching, one writes engrossedly, the other reads carefully, it is inexplicably harmonious.
Tang Zhuozhuo's jade-white fingers were printed on the black ink strip, exuding a white luster.
When Huo Qiuqiu turned his head, what he saw was this scene, and his heart suddenly became a little confused.
He sighed secretly, put the wolf hair on the inkstone, raised his eyebrows and asked: "What are you looking at?"
Tang Zhuozhao came back to his senses, put his head close to the rice paper that was not yet dry, and stared at the black characters on it, dumbfounded: "What is your highness writing?"
Why can't she recognize any of them
"This is a character from the Xijiang area, so of course you don't recognize it." Huo Qiu didn't lift his eyelids, and paused after speaking, as if thinking of something, he suddenly said: "After a while, I will go to Xijiang alone, you... I'll leave it to you."
Tang Zhuozhuo didn't bother with those big characters immediately, she frowned, her face as flawless as porcelain was full of surprise: "How long will Your Highness be going?"
Huo Qiu's knuckle-boned index finger rubbed the position of his temples, his black pupils suddenly darkened, and even his voice was cold: "It's been more than ten days, I don't know when I will come back."
The past dynasties of Xijiang have been a chaotic place, officials and bandits have colluded with snakes and rats, and only the local people suffer, but the officials sent by the above only show off, pick it up high and put it down gently, there has been trouble there recently It's getting better and better.
Even Emperor Qiong Yuan, who had a serious illness and seemed to be running out of time, was concerned, so it was more reassuring for him to go there in person.
Tang Zhuozhao wiped the ink on his hands with a handkerchief dipped in some warm water, but those black spots were very stubborn. She applied a little force, and a large area of red appeared on the back of her white and tender hands.
Huo Qiu looked at it, pursed her thin lips lightly, took the handkerchief in her hand and wiped it carefully bit by bit, the cold aura around her body softened as much as possible, Tang Zhuozhuo was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously retracted his hands as if they had been scalded , but he was detained to death.
"Your Highness..."
Huo Qiu wiped off the ink in her hands before returning the handkerchief to her, and at the same time let go of her hand, her complexion unchanged.
Only he himself could hear the sound of beating in the blood, again and again, firm and rapid.
Tang Zhuozhao stood in the hall, his face was still a little red, just now his clinging wrist seemed to be burned by fire, it hurt so much, she covered her hands under the wide sleeves, moistened her lips for a long time and asked: "Then when His Highness is out, can I go out of the palace and go to the temple?"
She asked a little nervously, and there was obvious hope in her moist eyes. Tang Zhuozhuo's complexion was very good, and his brows and eyes were softened a little. Just standing there is a natural portrait, no man can resist this request.
Huo Qiu is no exception.
His heartstrings trembled suddenly, but his eyes were suddenly cold and wanton. He said on the front foot that he was going to Xijiang, but she couldn't bear to think of ways to meet Wang Yi on the back foot
It turned out that these days he was flattering and talking to him softly, just to wait for him on this occasion. Go to the temple? When did she, Tang Zhuozhuo, believe this
Don't even think about it!
Huo Qiu looked at the woman not far away, there was a delicate and small ball, there was a different kind of emotion flowing in the originally bright eyes, and it was hard to move them away. I feel a little chilled.
Tang Zhuozhao didn't understand why the man who was fine before suddenly turned cold, he just thought it was inconvenient to let her out at this time.
The East Palace is no different than the outside, and leaving the palace is not an easy task. When she left the palace, she wanted to send someone to deliver a letter to her mother in advance, making an appointment to go to the temple together on that day, so that she could warn everyone in the Tang Palace.
But seeing Huo Qiu like this, I'm afraid he won't agree.
That's right, now is the time when the princes are full of ambitions, if something happens to her once she goes out, it will be bad for Huo Qiu.
Tang Zhuozhuo meditated secretly, thinking that if he couldn't get out, he would write a letter to ask someone to take it back, and then he wanted to talk, so he listened to Huo Qiu and refused to answer: "Zhong Yu has caused a lot of damage to the orphan, and today the two of you came to apologize , I am going to ask my father to send the two of them to the frontiers, to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds, do you think it is okay?"
Anyone could hear such an obvious temptation, Tang Zhuozhuo lowered his eyelids, the light in his eyes was astonishing.
Seeing this, Huo Qiu laughed lightly in her heart, but she wasn't disappointed at all, since she didn't hold any hope that she could change.
No one knows her temperament better than him.
He turned his back, brushed the black auspicious cloud pattern cuffs across the table, and said indifferently: "In that case..."
"My concubine thinks that if the two generals go to the frontier, they will definitely protect my land and keep the people safe and sound. The decision made by His Royal Highness is naturally excellent."
There was a sly smile on Tang Zhuozhao's face, Huo Qiu turned around suddenly, the raging flames on his face cut like a knife stopped abruptly.
He walked up to Tang Zhuozhuo, with a bright and beautiful face on his face, but there was a slight smile in his words: "This is the best, you can ask someone to clean up some other day, and go to Xijiang together with you alone."
Tang Zhuozhuo's eyes widened, his bony fingertips trembled, and he asked in disbelief, "Your Highness?"
Huo Qiu raised his eyes and looked at her deeply, knowing what she was surprised about.
He pursed his sharp thin lips, and said lightly: "Although the Xijiang River is chaotic, the advantage is that the scenery is very good. If you want to go, you can prepare yourself. If you don't want to..."
Having said that, he paused uncontrollably, and suddenly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were as deep as two ancient wells.
It's just that before he could say the next thing, the woman preempted him. Tang Zhuo Zhuo's eyes were full of fragments of light, and even his voice was full of obvious excitement.
"I want to go, my concubine wants to go."
If she could go out, she would naturally not stay in this dead and tasteless palace. Although it is against the rules, since Huo Qiu said so, there must be a way to get over it.
Tang Zhuozhao suddenly felt that this trip was not in vain.
Huo Qiu tapped the edge of the desk with his fingers, his slender fingers fell down and made a low sound, his face was hidden in the darkness and was unpredictable.
These words were originally out of a whim in his heart, and he expected that she would not agree to them. After all, such a good opportunity was not here, how could she let it go
But she responded so lightly, how could Huo Qiu be really indifferent
Maybe this time, in a different environment, there will be some turning points between them
Seeing that he suddenly frowned and said nothing, Tang Zhuozhuo thought he had repented, and suddenly became a little anxious. She turned around and came to him, and her small white face the size of a palm approached his eyes, and said: "Your Highness, I promise you my concubine. You can’t go back on what you did.”
Huo Qiu's black eyes looked into her clear apricot pupils without any impurities, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and he said deeply: "Prince Princess Tang entered the temple, please pray for the orphan until she returns, did you hear that? "
Tang Zhuozhao immediately loosened her lower lip, revealing a small tooth mark on her upper lip. She smiled until her eyes were only left with two shallow crescents.
"The concubine listens to His Highness."
Until Tang Zhuozhuo brought people back to Yiqiu Palace, Huo Qiu was still sitting on a chair in the study and meditating, Zhang Desheng came in and asked if he wanted to pass on the dinner, but he ignored him, and only sighed softly after a while.
Why do you always feel that she is taking advantage of you
He stood up, his voice was a little softer, mixed with the dark night outside, it was very mellow.
"No need, go to Yiqiu Palace."
Zhang Desheng was naturally overjoyed, thinking that when the princess was serious about coaxing people, she would be more effective than anyone else.
It's been a long time since he saw such a kind attitude from the master.
