Imperial Favour

Early the next morning, Tang Zhuozuo opened his eyes before An Xia came in.

She sat up, lifted the thin bed curtains, and saw that the sky was still black and blue. She let out a sigh of relief, and tapped her finger on the vase on the window frame. The cold touch made her warm fingers. Retracted a bit.

Originally the Empress Dowager's birthday should be after March, but Emperor Qiongyuan listened to Qin Tianjian's words and set it today.

So today, it is doomed to have a dark wave.

After four years, Tang Zhuozuo put on the prince's court clothes again, feeling a little subtle for a while, but only for a moment, he suppressed the strangeness in his eyes.

Huo Qiu is here.

The man walked into the wind, Li Desheng lifted the white pearl curtain for him, and ordered the people to pass the meal.

Tang Zhuo pursed his lips, knowing that he had come before breakfast.

"It was so early in the palace?" She raised her eyebrows slightly, her apricot eyes seemed to have been misted all night, and she seemed to hide the stars of the sky, and her smile was so bright as the first plum drawn in a cold winter.

It's so beautiful that people can't look away.

Huo Qiu paused slightly, closed his eyes calmly, and hid the unpredictable emotion in his eyes, "Well, I'm afraid you won't get up."

Tang Zhuozuo stood up straight and let An Xia play with him, but he muttered in a very unconvincing voice, "Where did I get up late?"

As soon as these words came out, An Xia's expression became unnatural.

The fact that the princess woke up late is not a secret in the East Palace. Because of this, his Royal Highness also specially ordered the concubine under Liangdi not to get up early if nothing happened.

Tang Zhuozuo's eyes stopped on the face of the set of rubies that An Xia took out of the library. After a while, he reached out and picked up a mutton jade in the makeup box, frowning a little bit awkwardly.

Huo Qiu was sitting on a thick pinewood chair. Seeing that she hadn't moved for a long time, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Tang Zhuozuo turned around, the big gold-embroidered peony flowers on the cuffs lined her jade-white wrist, and even the mole on her face became more charming.

Not to mention she bit her lower lip and said, "Your Highness, help concubine look at this hairpin."

Huo Qiu's eyes paused among the various hairpins in her makeup box, and frowned without a trace.

He has never understood much about these daughters' homes.

If that's the case, he categorically couldn't refuse those eyes with the starry sea.

Huo Qiu got up, the bright yellow crown prince's dress gleaming in the candlelight, making the man slender like a bamboo and bright like a breeze.

He walked up to Tang Zhuozuo, looked at the full of hairpins on the table, was silent, and then said, "Look at which one?"

Tang Zhuozhuo pointed to the set of rubies in An Xia's hand and said, "The emperor grandma's birthday, this kind of day should be dressed more festively and grandly, but this set of heads is a little old-fashioned."

Huo Qiu's gaze turned to the hairpin held in her bright white hand again, and he pondered for a while and said, "It's not old fashioned, you wear a lonely favorite."

Tang Zhuozuo raised his eyes to look at him, just in time to look into a deep and waveless well, and swallowed the doubts circling around his throat, and smiled kindly: "Okay, your concubine listened to your highness."

Huo Qiu saw that she had worn this hoodie?

But even if she didn't ask, how could Huo Qiu guess her question?

They got married that day. She was beautiful and charming under the bright red hipa, and she was wearing this hood.

It's a pity that these memories he cherished in his heart seemed to have nothing to do with her, and even with himself, she was completely rejected.

After breakfast, Huo Qiu and Tang Zhuozuo took them to Ci Ning Palace.

Huo Qiu didn't speak much along the way, his face was as cold as a snowman built in winter and night.

Tang Zhuozuo didn't dare to be presumptuous. He didn't dare to make a sound when he looked around for fear of his annoyance.

It's just that there were occasional bumps in the sedan chair, and she was a little sleepy, and finally fell asleep on Huo Qiu's shoulder in a daze.

Huo Qiu frowned and put down the scroll that he held upside down. He looked at the person who was lying on his shoulders with the white and reddish color. He touched her face like a ghost, and finally rolled his fingertips to her blushing lips. He suddenly It's gone.

Fortunately, his movements were light and didn't disturb her.

Huo Qiu rubbed his painful eyebrows and resisted the thoughts in his heart.

But opening his eyes and closing his eyes was the sound of her pampered voice. He wanted to rub her into the bones and blood unscrupulously, and he didn't dare to move when he thought about it.

With great difficulty, they had the situation where they live in harmony today, and he couldn't break it by himself.

Tang Zhuozuo had already woke up when he stroked his cheeks, because with his eyes closed, his gentle touch seemed even more tender. She felt a little itchy, and she fluttered her eyelashes quickly and held it back.

It was the first time in two lifetimes that she encountered Huo Qiu's treatment.

In the past, he was either indifferent to a face, or coldly beating and warning, as cold as an immortal in the sky.

There are three thousand pinks in the harem, and the ring is fat and thin, none of them can catch his eyes.

When she arrived at the entrance of Ci Ning Palace, Huo Qiu stroked her soft hair, her voice was still cold: "Rise, here."

Tang Zhuozuo then Shi Shiran opened his eyes and smiled softly at Huo Qiu.

Huo Qiu didn't even look at her, and walked ahead of himself.

Tang Zhuozhuo felt a little funny in his heart.

This man is really wrong.

Tang Zhuozuo had come to Ci Ning Palace of the empress dowager more than once, but she was still a little nervous after coming again a few times.

Huo Qiu saw her nervousness, thin lips lightly said: "You will accompany the emperor's grandmother to say something, lonely going to Chengqian Palace."

"The princes and concubines should have arrived. There will be a palace banquet in the evening. Don't run around, wait for the loneliness."

Tang Zhuozhao nodded lightly, and Huo Qiu's expression was slightly relieved.

Sure enough, when it was in the hall, the other princes and concubines had arrived.

The old man sitting at the top looked at the kindness, but his gaze was wise and vicissitudes of life, Tang Zhuozhuo's heart shuddered, and he followed Huo Qiu with a big gift.

"Please, the emperor grandmother."

"Get up."

The empress dowager recites Buddhism all the year round, and there is a deep scent of sandalwood in the hall, and even the voice is smiling, which looks no different from ordinary old people.

But Tang Zhuozuo knew that the Empress Dowager Qiu was the most venomous person in the entire harem, and the blood and blood on her hands would not be lost.

"The prince princess is here, and the emperor grandmother is still reading it. The concubine just said that she was afraid that she overslept again." It was the six prince concubine Liu who was talking, and her smile was full of her face and she couldn't pick out a single mistake. , But the tone was very uncomfortable.

Huo Qiu frowned deeply, and a deep cold air swept his entire body, and even the voice he spoke out seemed to be mixed with ice slag: "The grandson stained a piece of clothing before leaving, and it took some time. I hope the emperor's grandmother will forgive me."

Liu suddenly became a little bit ridiculous, but didn't say anything again.

Tang Zhuozhuo sneered. This Liu family had been looking for her unhappiness everywhere in her previous life, because she would just sit there coldly without saying a word. Liu thought she was afraid of her and pushed her nose on her face more and more.

She just didn't bother to care about such jumping clowns.

Speaking of the previous six prince Huo Qi's defeat in the battle for the throne, there is another reason for Liu's stupidity.

Liu Hanjiang cherished his wife and daughter. For some unknown reason in his previous life, his wife suddenly went, leaving only a three or four-year-old daughter, who was even more pampered with pain, for fear of wronging the young girl.

The six princes valued him very much, and even brought his daughter into the Sixth Prince's Mansion, where he ate and lived with Liu's daughter-in-law.

Although Huo Qi has repeatedly urged and emphasized, but the Liu family is not able to turn his head, what is her daughter's identity, and what is the identity of Liu Hanjiang's daughter?

It's just a rural girl who hasn't been taught by her mother. What if she teaches her daughter badly?

At first, I just complained a few words in my heart, but after a long time, the girl got more rewards than her own daughter. Liu's heart was all kinds of unpleasantness, and let her spoiled daughter bully and run the little girl. Finally, It finally became a tragedy.

Liu Hanjiang's daughter was pushed down the lotus pond in the mansion in front of several people, and the body was picked up in the middle of the night.

The sixth prince, Huo Qi, jumped into a thunder, and personally apologized to Liu Hanjiang, but never heard Liu Hanjiang say a word again.

Without Liu Hanjiang's support for making suggestions, where is there a counselor under his command who can fight against Hanshuan? The so-called defeat was precisely what happened to him.

A trace of sympathy flashed in Tang Zhuozhuo's bright eyes. The six princes finally felt that they were angry to death, right?

The queen mother above smiled a few times and waved her hand and said, "What are you talking about? I told you to come back later, so I have to come so early to accompany my old lady."

In addition to the six princes and concubines, there were also the third and ten princes sitting in the hall. When they saw her, they were all blessed and smiled kindly.

After Huo Qiu left for a while, the empress dowager turned the Buddhist beads in her hand and asked: "The fourth family, the Ai family heard that you were ill a few days ago, how good is your body?"

Tang Zhuozhuo's eyelids drooped slightly, and he replied with some embarrassment: "The grandmother of Lao is worried, and the concubine's body is fine."

The queen mother nodded softly, but looked at Tang Zhuozhuo a few more times.

Among these grandchildren, she still prefers Huo Qiu from the bottom of her heart, and she even looks forward to Tang Zhuozuo, the princess.

But after all, this child was spoiled by the Tang family. Seeing that he was not a princess, let alone the demeanor of the future mother of a country.

Then I thought about it and felt relieved, the Tang family is full of men, just such a daughter, can't you raise it since childhood? Moreover, beforehand, she never expected that Huo Qiu would go to Qiong Yuan to ask for such a prince.

But seeing Huo Qiu's joy and rareness, she didn't bother to say anything.

Feelings are like people knowing that they are warm and cold when drinking water. An old lady of hers doesn't have to get up to get an eye-catching situation. They are all half of their body.

But when I saw it today, I felt that the girl from the Tang family had changed her whole body, even her eyes were bright, and she finally looked like a princess.

She likes to see such changes.

The empress dowager went up indifferently and said: "You all go to the garden to enjoy the flowers and drink tea. The Ai's family is a little tired, and I have to endure it at night."

It is said that they are exhausted, but they are actually annoying. With such a few big people sitting there so cramped, they didn't even dare to say a few words, and no one would feel comfortable watching it.

Tang Zhuozhuo's heart moved, Fushen saluted, and went to the Imperial Garden with a few princes and concubines.

Before I arrived, I saw the noble concubine ceremonial guard coming here from a distance. I looked at the smile on Liu's face again, and couldn't help but look cold.

They only came out of Ci Ning Palace with their front feet, and they bumped into Concubine Yan with their back feet. If it is not considered accurate, who would believe it?
