Huo Qiu was lying on the bed, his tall body stretched out, his face was blushing, Tang Zhuozhuo listened to his words, raised his head and glanced at him, then rubbed him silently The bitten place, asked: "Does it hurt?"
Huo Qiu looked at her with a funny face, rubbed her soft cheeks, and said: "My queen mother is right, Jiaojiao is indeed eloquent."
Tang Zhuozhao's eyes followed him to the neat tooth marks, his face blushed slowly, and he raised his head and asked him, "Is the queen awake?"
Huo Qiu's face remained unchanged, he nodded with a slight smile.
Tang Zhuozhao wrapped his index finger around his long hair and didn't speak for a long time.
I don't know what to say.
Her small thoughts and wishes were all on her face, and naturally she couldn't hide it from Huo Qiu, he pinched the soft flesh on the back of Tang Zhuozhao's neck, couldn't put it down, and at the same time said slowly: "The mother is getting old, there are some things that can be done. It's really wrong, Jiaojiao, don't take it to heart."
Tang Zhuozhuo shook his head, and said in a muffled voice: "When the concubine came out of the Compassionate Ning Palace, I vaguely remembered the first time I was brought by the emperor to greet my mother."
She glanced around with beautiful eyes, "At that time, the queen mother was still living in the Changchun Palace, and when she saw the concubines, she affectionately called Jiaojiao after the emperor."
After such a long time, she still remembers it fresh, but now, Guan Shi is completely different from before.
Huo Qiu's complexion sank a little bit, and in the end he didn't say anything, and quietly held her hand much harder.
A night of dark lights and candles, a night of wind and snow and frost.
Early the next morning, the man got up lightly before dawn, washed up and went to court.
Most of the heat in the quilt dissipated, Tang Zhuozhao turned over, but he didn't feel sleepy anymore, so he sat up and called someone in to freshen up. After breakfast, Tang Zhuozhao ordered to prepare the sedan chair and go to Cining palace.
It was freezing cold outside, Tang Zhuozhuo shivered as soon as he went out.
All the way to the gate of the Palace of Compassion, Tang Zhuozhuo went in with an umbrella, and at the same time ordered the maids and attendants who followed him, saying: "Stay outside the palace, no one is allowed to enter without the order of the palace."
In a word, An Xia and Zi Huan were terrified.
My master, what does this mean? Will the Compassionate Palace be guarded
Tang Zhuozhuo turned his head and glanced at the glazed tiles shining with fine silver light in the white snow, and the plain smile on his face disappeared like a magic trick.
Alone, she slowly walked into the inner hall.
Needless to say how embarrassing Guan Shi was when he pretended to be dizzy yesterday after being caught by Huo Qiu, other than that, he was only disheartened.
In this world, she has only such a relative left, and she finally sat in this position, so naturally she would not harm him, but that child, as if enchanted by that girl of the Tang family, usually protects her in every possible way. Not to mention, even when it comes to the issue of the emperor's heir, he is actually indifferent.
How can this be
How could she have the nerve to explain to her sister after a hundred years
Speaking of Tang Zhuozhuo, she used to think he was pretty good, but now, she looks like an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf.
Isn't it the white-eyed wolf
Huo Qiu gave her the honor of empress, but she wanted to monopolize the king's heart, which made the concubines in the harem not to mention decorations, and what was even more abominable was the withering of the emperor's heirs. The emperor has no children.
When Tang Zhuozhuo came in, Guan Shi was furious and smashed the vase sent by Changchun Palace yesterday, and the red plums were scattered all over the place, and the spots were as bright as blood.
"Mother, be careful not to be hurt by these fragments." Tang Zhuozhao raised the corner of his mouth and only glanced at the ground, reminding him indifferently.
Seeing the mess on the ground, Guan twitched the corners of her mouth a few times, and tried her best to be dignified and sarcastically asked: "The empress has recovered from her angina today? The Ai family thought that she would still have to lie on the bed and would not be able to get up."
"I'm worried about my mother, I'm here to see if my mother's dizziness has improved, I think it's the old ginseng from yesterday that helped my mother recover so quickly."
Tang Zhuozhao licked his lips up and down, watching Guan's well-maintained face cracked, and his smile deepened.
"Okay, let's all go down." Tang Zhuozhuo was wearing a pink jacket, with a lazy expression, he found a soft stool and sat down, and then ordered the people in the hall to say.
"this… "
The servants in the Compassionate Ning Palace were naturally under the orders of Guan Shi, and they hesitated for a while, and couldn't make up their minds until Tang Zhuozhuo swept away his eyes and frowned, before they all left the inner hall one by one.
Guan's eyes fell on Tang Zhuozhuo from the beginning to the end, until they were the only two left in the hall, and she sneered, "The empress is so majestic."
"It's not as good as the empress dowager's meddling." Tang Zhuozhuo raised his eyelids, and the words that came out of his mouth made Guan obviously taken aback.
Then he was furious, his fingers trembled, and he pointed at her for a long time, but Tang Zhuozhuo calmly moved his fingers away, almost unable to catch her breath.
"Mother, the anger is extremely hurtful. If you faint again today, wouldn't the emperor feel even more distressed?"
She spoke quickly, with a sense of coolness and chill.
Guan was in a trance, and suddenly remembered that when Huo Qiugang got married, someone whispered in her ear that the princess concubine was born as a weak girl, but she had a strong temper, and she didn't pay attention to anything.
It was just a joke at the time.
How can there be anyone in this world who is not afraid of the majesty of the Heavenly Family
Look, couldn't Tang Zhuozhuo be more well-behaved later on
It wasn't until this time that Guan Shi knew that she was really an unscrupulous person.
Not to mention that now he is still grasping the emperor's heart to death, and acting even more recklessly.
"Queen! You talk to Aijia like this, do you still see me as the Queen Mother?" Guan Shi was furious after realizing it.
Tang Zhuozhao moved away a branch of red plum under his feet, lowered his eyelids, and said casually: "I dare not."
"Empress mother, don't patronize and get angry. The concubine is here today, so I have something to discuss with the empress mother."
Guan's face was ashen, and it took a long time to calm down, and said a few words very bluntly, "The queen just said it."
Tang Zhuozhuo didn't mind either, a pair of beautiful eyes shone with light, and the mole around the corner of her eyes was haunting. She sat next to Guan Shi, the smile on her mouth never disappeared. Others looked at her, but she couldn't be more affectionate. .
"The emperor also said that day that the empress mother is old and her body is not as good as before. It is better to leave the affairs of the harem to the concubines."
"After all, the concubine is the master of the harem."
Tang Zhuozhuo came in unhurriedly, and then looked at Guan's eyes. It was a completely unfamiliar icy color, sometimes mixed with an undisguised warning, "The mother received the baby that was raised in the Compassionate Ning Palace. Those two women should be handed over to my concubine to take away."
Guan's eyes widened in disbelief, her face turned livid, she sneered a few times, "Going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, the queen came here for this matter?"
"A few days later on the emperor's birthday, Ai's family found two beauties to teach them how to behave. When the time comes, they will be presented to the emperor, and they will be my mother's birthday gift."
"What? Did this also poke the queen's sore foot?"
Guan Shi is also a person who has experienced big storms. After the initial shock, he quickly calmed down and was quite proud.
Seeing that Tang Zhuozhuo was unmoved, Guan said again: "These two girls are outstanding, and the Ai family has also been seen by others. The key is that they are easy to bear children."
She was provoking Tang Zhuozhuo on purpose, counting the time, the nanny should have arrived at Qianqing Palace, as long as she called the emperor and told him to see Tang Zhuozhuo's true face, she would naturally be disgusted with it.
How can there be a man in this world who doesn't like the new and dislike the old
It's just that the freshness of the fourth child is still there.
Tang Zhuozhuo moved her wrist, but the smile on her face faded inch by inch, her eyes stopped on Guan's face, and her words were thought-provoking: "When the mother was still in the Changchun Palace, the door was closed for twenty years. Live the way you are now?"
Guan was taken aback.
"Originally, the concubine thought that the mother's attitude changed so quickly, but it was because the concubine could not bear children for the emperor, so she cared from the bottom of her heart."
Guan raised her eyes and looked at the too young woman sitting across from her, and forced herself to cheer up a bit, saying: "Should the Ai family continue to let it go and ignore it? Then how can we be worthy of the spirits of the late emperor and empress?"
Tang Zhuozhuo raised her eyelids, not sure if she listened or not. She estimated the time, sneered slightly, and asked, "Is the queen mother feeling sorry for the first emperor? Or do you want to monopolize the power of the harem and cultivate her own power?"
She spoke carelessly, but every word was serious, Guan Shi stood up suddenly, looked down at Tang Zhuozhuo condescendingly, his chest heaved with anger, "Is the queen questioning Aijia or is she going to pour dirt on Aijia?" water?"
When she made such a fuss, Tang Zhuozhuo felt pain between her brows. She frowned and made a silent gesture to Guan. Her slender index finger was like jade, but this queen mother who had always been pampered was dumbfounded.
I have been in a high position for too long and have never been treated like this.
"Queen mother, send him back, otherwise the emperor will feel uncomfortable looking at it, and the concubines will also feel uncomfortable."
Guan Shi pursed her lips, and was so angry that she snorted heavily: "Dream! This matter is not over today, and the queen should not leave in a hurry. I will call the emperor to judge later, and see how Aijia offended his queen. .”
Tang Zhuozhuo sighed softly, took a sip of tea, and took out two old tattered dolls from his bosom. On the dolls, there was a broken corner of yellowed paper, and a person's birthday was written in black and white. The most terrifying thing was There are still thin pinholes on the top, pointing directly at the doll's chest.
When Guan Shi saw it, she felt dizzy, as if all her strength had been sucked out. The corners of her mouth twitched for a long time before she said in horror, "How...how did you find this thing?"
Tang Zhuozhuo lowered his eyes, moved his fingers, and put the two very old-looking dolls by Guan's hand, the latter shivered and moved away from the thing.
"The queen mother resolutely entered the palace to take care of the young emperor, and the concubines respected the queen mother even more. No matter how willful they were, they dared not have the slightest disobedience to the queen mother."
"When the former empress gave birth to the emperor, she hurt her body. It stands to reason that she could recover with good health care, but she just passed away without warning."
Every time Tang Zhuozhuo uttered a word, Guan's face turned paler. Hearing this, she raised her head, stared at Tang Zhuozhuo firmly, and said in a trembling voice: "Nonsense! Many imperial doctors back then were helpless, sister The body was too weak, and I caught the wind and cold, so... this is gone."
It was difficult for her to speak, but Tang Zhuozhuo didn't take it seriously. She didn't care about these things, but she hooked her lips and asked: "The empress dowager, what is the crime of using the technique of witchcraft to hate victory, what is the crime? I don't need my concubine to tell you Let’s talk about it in detail.”
Killed by one blow, Guan couldn't sit still anymore, his face was as white as paper.
