Imperial Favour

The majestic voice pierced the eardrums, Huo Qiu abruptly paused, hearing the warning of dissatisfaction in the voice of the big worm, deep black gathered in his pupils.

As soon as he stopped, the people behind him naturally did not dare to act rashly.

"Tang Zhuozuo, come back!" The man's voice was full of anger and unknown terror. His hands were shaking when he drew an arrow from behind.

The wind in the forest brought some of the sweetness of the stream, blowing the dead leaves, and it happened to drop a few pieces on the nose of the big insect. It stretched out two big yellow paws to scratch, it was like a childlike child. .

Tang Zhuozhuo saw this, and her brows wrinkled lightly and she relaxed. She knew Huo Qiu's concern and turned and whispered: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Gulu is here to play with his concubines, it doesn't hurt people."

Hearing this, Li Desheng, who had been following Huo Qiu, was almost unsteady, not hurting others? Just after the roar, he even saw the undigested meat foam in its blood basin and its mouth, still stuck in the teeth.

My mother, that's a living beast that doesn't recognize people! How can there be such a psychic who can recognize a few years ago?

Huo Qiu took a deep breath and watched her step by step approach the long worm that looked hard to deal with, and hated her forever disobedient temper.

I want to go forward to protect her and pull people back, but I am afraid that the beast will bite her directly and throw a rat in the end. For the first time in his life, Emperor Chongjian could only sit and wait for such a situation.

The back of the little woman couldn’t be more slender. The long wind blew her hair and the silver bells on her snow-white ankles. It was ethereal and quiet. If it weren’t for a beast that was as quiet as a cat, Emperor Chong Jian Even to be fascinated again.

Gulu jumped down from the rock, drew a vigorous arc with a light movement, Tang Zhuozhuo's eyes flashed a little tension, seeing it slowly surrounding him, he whispered tentatively: "Guru?"

It suddenly let out a few low roars from its throat, and was not very satisfied with this title.

Tang Zhuozhuo breathed a sigh of relief with the same movements as when she was a child. She bent her eyes slightly, and half of her face was so soft that she didn't like words.

Gulu was rescued by her and Zhu Liu. At that time, she happened to meet the tower curtain. After so long, she still remembered Zhu Liu's blushing face and stumbling forward to talk.

It's just that Gulu's figure is more than five or six times bigger than two years ago, and her long tail swept across Tang Zhuozhuo's heels. She lifted her foot to hide, but Gulu firmly held her foot with two paws.

Everyone suddenly breathed, Huo Qiu narrowed his sword eyes, and the arrow on the string was triggered.

Tang Zhuozuo himself was also taken aback, but he didn't feel any pain when he recovered. Gulu didn't forget to put away its sharp and powerful claws.

It stretched out a front paw and touched the bell on Tang Zhuozhuo's ankle, with a crisp sound that didn't stop for a long time. Seeing its playfulness, Tang Zhuozhuo had to reach out and rub his fat head.

Once the signal is sent out, it must not be long before everyone will gather here. If you see Gulu, there are too many people to worry about her.

Tang Zhuozuo pushed it a few times deep in the forest, and said, "Go back."

When Gulu saw the person he wanted to meet, he was in a very good mood. Finally, he rubbed Tang Zhuozhuo's white and tender hand with his head, groaning in his throat, and finally jumped on a boulder and yelled at the person who shot it. The sound, the roar came far away, when everyone came back to their senses, how could there be any shadow of the big bug?

If it weren't for the faint pain in the ears, many people would think that they just had a dream.

Tang Zhuozuo looked at the direction of the deep forest with some sorrow, and then walked back to Huo Qiu's side with his head down and pacing for a while.

The face of the latter is no longer enough to describe in black.

In the silence, the tower curtain touched his nose and said grimly: "It is clear that I saved it. Why did you grin at me when you saw me?"

Naturally, there is no need to mention more about the following matters. On the first day of the autumn hunt, although the process was a bit thrilling, they deservedly won the first prize just by bringing back the seven or eight wolves.

At noon, Tang Zhuozhuo was shocked in his heart and did not dare to stay by Huo Qiu's side. When Li Desheng came in and asked if he wanted to go to the stables to pick up the horses, he had a headache as an excuse to refuse.

In the stable, Huo Qiu listened to Liu Hanjiang's methodical analysis of the current situation, and happened to see Li Desheng coming back to his life. Only seeing his hesitation, he knew in his heart.

"After all, is it a headache or abdominal pain?" He changed a robe on his body, but the color remained the same, and his smile without anger was chilling.

Li Desheng smiled wryly, stumbling back and stumbled back: "The mother said...that if you rode a horse in the morning, this will cause a headache."

"..."

Liu Hanjiang paused when he spoke. After a while, he coughed and coughed, before he wanted to follow the kindness and continue to speak, he heard Huo Qiu snorted coldly. Somehow, this was the first time he heard from the calm and self-sufficient emperor. Dissatisfaction and slight grievances.

In this world, one thing drops one thing.

The scenery of the grassland is very different from that of Kyoto. The sun is shining, the white clouds are piled into unknown shapes, and even the wind that blows over has a little green fragrance.

Zhu Liu entered Tang Zhuozuo's tent grandiosely under all eyes, and sat down all afternoon.

Tang Zhuozhuo was lying on the soft cushion. He was bumped all the way before and didn't notice anything. But when he came back to rest, his whole body really hurt.

Her fat-like fingers hung on the armrests, and her five slender fingers were very hooked. A very moisturizing jade bracelet was loosely wrapped around her wrist. She was softly moved around her waist. In this atmosphere, even her The words spoken are also soft and tender.

Zhu Liu was accustomed to her appearance, and picked the focus of her words to listen. When he knew that Gulu had come to find her, his eyes flickered a few times, and finally he didn't ask anything.

At the mention of Gulu, she couldn't help but think of that person, and the overwhelming memories were so turbulent that she couldn't stand it.

The best way is not to mention it.

But she didn't mention it, but Tang Zhuozuo couldn't let the two of them go. She half-stretched her body and slowly raised her eyelids and said casually, "I look at the tower and curtain and don't understand how to annoy you."

"What happened between you two?"

Zhu Liu's complexion became cold every inch, Tang Zhuozuo saw her like this, he sighed in his heart, reached out his finger and nodded the back of her hand, and said, "No matter, if you don't want to say that you have your own reason, you should teach him some lessons. Try it."

I will cherish it later.

Zhu Liu was full of smiles when she said that, with some tiredness in her smile, "I only had a dispute with my mother and concubine last night, and was called into the tent by my father, although he didn't mention me entering the palace again. , I looked at that battle, but I wanted to show me an outstanding young man through this autumn hunt."

Tang Zhuozuo opened her apricot eyes. Although she was still a little surprised, it was reasonable to think carefully, so she turned her head and asked, "Then what is your own idea?"

Zhu Liu is wearing a light blue dress today, with a large string of hand rings on his wrist. Seeing that it is an unusual style, it adds a touch of exoticism.

After hearing Tang Zhuozuo's question, she looked lonely and couldn't help but want to laugh. Her long eyelashes covered all thoughts in her eyes.

"What can I do for myself? My father, the princess, and my concubine have already done so much for Zhu Lu and me. Now Zhu Lu is such a virtue. If I give them trouble, it would be better to hang. It’s good to be a sister in the temple with your hair."

Tang Zhuozuo heard this and said nothing.

She understands the feeling too much, just like when she didn’t say a few words with Huo Qiu, but when she was going to marry into the East Palace and be his concubine, she was also thinking about her relatives in the house, and she was thinking about the drips from childhood to childhood. Of the sedan chair.

It's just that now, fortunately, there is more pain than then.

Tang Zhuozhuo opened his mouth and couldn't say anything to comfort Zhu Liu, so he could only shook her hand firmly, "If this is the case, we are not in a hurry, take your time, and be sure to choose a good character."

Zhu Liu smiled far-fetched, but did not speak.

No matter how good her character is, she can no longer make her blush.

After Zhu Liu left, Tang Zhuo's waist was really sore. An Xia stood by her side and rubbed, listening to her hissing air-conditioning sound, she couldn't help but feel distressed and said, "I persuaded Niang Niang not to go hunting, Niang Niang. The body hasn't been well developed, and it is immediately dangerous like that. Isn't it just going to hurt for a while?"

Tang Zhuozhuo put a piece of milk into his mouth, and the sweet milk smell filled his heart, and said vaguely: "You guys, I don't feel sorry for my palace at all. You will be talking about this for a while, wait. Your majesty still has to talk about the meeting."

I'm afraid that the man will still be angry.

Tang Zhuozuo felt a headache when he thought of this.

She didn't deliberately conceal many things, and indeed expected the man to find out some clues, so she did not rush to clarify.

There are some things that are more effective than just licking her lips in action. She is lazy and afraid of trouble, such as Jiangjianxi. If she talks from beginning to end, she is still confused in several places. That man is shrewd so far, where would he believe it?

As for the medicine powder in the morning, he started preparing it when he told her that he wanted to hunt in the autumn. This was the situation he was afraid of.

It's all like that, and the man will almost send herself away. If she doesn't sprinkle the powder, she will definitely fight and fight. The wild beasts in the forest are fierce and bite. But he didn't say anything less.

It happened that a gust of wind passed, and she scattered the medicine, saving time and effort, and she was unconsciously doing it. Who could have expected the man's eyes to be so sharp?

===

Zhu Liu just came out of Tang Zhuozuo’s tent, and when he returned to his tent, he inadvertently stopped, and saw the tower curtain standing in the paddock not far away. The one standing beside him was the pretty and charming one two years ago. The woman seemed to notice her gaze, and the girl turned her head and smiled.

Really dazzling.

Zhu Liu crumpled the veil in his hand, but smiled politely and alienatedly on his face. He didn't look there anymore and turned back into his tent.

No fluctuations could be seen on the dark face of the tower, Mu Ge reached out and pushed his arm, in exchange for a careless glance.

"That is the girl from the Central Plains that Khan is going to marry?" Mu Ge smiled and showed a row of white teeth.

The roof curtain was a little irritable, frowned and asked, "Could it be that your women are so fickle?"

Obviously two years ago, he changed the method to turn down the little girl who was not in time. How come he came with the utmost sincerity and the betrothal gift, and she liked to ignore it, seeing him is almost like seeing a scourge .

Mu Ge's eyes brightened. She looked up and down the roof of the house. What was caught by the lightning and the fire, and asked: "Does the girl Zhongyuan look at you?"

"I heard that the girl is the head of the county in the palace, and she has a good relationship with the queen. She has the most honorable status, and the person who came to marry me has crossed the threshold."

When the roof curtain heard the last sentence, his eyes waved sharply.

This girl didn't fall in love with others because of joy?

Mu Ge looked at his face, and finally sighed, and persuaded: "If it really doesn't work, don't force it."

The hand with the roof curtain hanging down to his side slowly squeezed into a fist, his eyes were far-reaching, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he turned and left.

Mu Ge slowly reduced the smile on his face, and said to the maid beside him: "Inquire, I want to see this Liuli county owner tonight."

When the moon is full tonight, it is difficult for girls to get out. Now they see the discs hanging in the sky as if they are within reach, one after another out of the tent looking up.

The light and thin moonlight hooks people, like a thin veil on a person, light but not transparent, bright but not glamorous, soft and beautiful.

With a cold temper, Zhu Liu chose a quiet grassland farther away, put a veil under her body, and put her jade hand on her cheek. In such a soft night, the various thoughts in the day were finally calmed down.

When Mu Ge found this place, he was taken aback for a moment, and then asked softly: "Liuli County Lord, can I have a few words with you?"

Zhu Liu didn't lift her eyelids, but the curvature of her mouth was a bit cold, her voice was a bit hoarse, but extremely soft, "You say it."

Mu Ge didn't care either. She sat down next to Zhu Liu, her beautiful face even softer than words.

"I am also a woman from the Central Plains, but my parents lost their lives while traveling to Mongolia, and this was taken by the former Mongolian Khan and adopted as an adopted daughter."

She tilted her head, squinted her eyes and smiled slightly, and then said: "Khan has a strong temper, and sometimes can't turn his head, but I know that the changes in the county owner's attitude are all because of me, right?"

"Because when I was hunting in the autumn last time, I hugged him?"

Zhu Liu opened her eyes, her dark pupils flashed with unknown emotions, and she slowly reminded her: "The girl has spoken too much."

Regardless of whether it is Central Plains or Mongolia, the rules are strict. She is the head of the county, and Mu Ge is just a sister of Khan.

Mu Ge was taken aback, and then quickly reacted. She was not at all annoyed, and she lifted a strand of long hair on the side of her temple, smiling very friendly.

"The county owner was born beautiful, and was born noble. There are many suitors. Why did he only fall in love with a khan born on the vast grassland?"

Zhu Liu sat up straight, his eyes were not angry and mighty, anyone who knew her knew that she was already angry.

But Mu Ge didn't know, maybe it wasn't that he didn't, but just pretended to be confused.

They all understood that even if Mu Ge was really rude, for the sake of the friendship between the two states, this matter would only be ignored.

"Mu Ge grew up so big, watching the old eagles finally dominate one side, the first thing he wanted to do after unifying the tribe was to come to the Central Plains to marry a noble daughter from the palace.

Mu Ge's expression was a little desolate in the darkness, and her long eyelashes hung down to cover the Wu Qing under her eyes. Just when Zhu Liu thought she would not speak anymore, she raised her head.

"Mug Ge took the liberty to come here today, but to warn the county lord."

"Khan and the county lord will not be happy because the county lord does not understand the blood and revenge in the hearts of the Mongols." She swallowed and looked straight at Zhu Liuyu's face and said: "The county lord is definitely not happy. Khan is with other women, but I can tolerate it."

After that, Mu Ge stood up, a gust of wind passed, and the corners of her skirt flicked slightly, and then put one hand on her chest and gave Zhu Liu a deep Mongolian ceremony, "I hope the county lord will forgive Mu Ge's harassment."

Zhu Liu didn't speak any more, just sat in the grass, sitting all night.

And when the stars were adorning the sky and the moon was falling on the earth, Tang Zhuozhao wore a beige cloak, and under the cover of night, he entered the tent of Emperor Chongjian.

Surrounded by soldiers, the cold armor was glowing with gloom.

When Tang Zhuozuo entered, the man was standing in front of the desk with a long jade body and concentrating on painting. Seeing that she was coming, he collected the scroll and put it in Li Desheng's hands, and ordered him to take it and put it away.

Tang Zhuo blessed his body, and saw a woman's back from the side of the light, and there was a pale blood moon in front of her back.

She tilted her head indifferently, and saw a fire rising in the tent, roasting greasy lamb on the fire.

The fragrance was overflowing, and every strand floated into the nasal cavity. Tang Zhuozhuo pressed his lips, a little greedy.

Huo Qiu was sitting at the desk. He didn't say a word, and she didn't know what to say. For a while, apart from the occasional crackling, the tent was a bit quiet.

Tang Zhuozuo knew that she was wrong, she paced slowly to the man's side, without speaking, just stretched out a small hand to tug at his sleeve, and gently tugged.

This is her usual trick.

The man was indifferent, he didn't even give her a look. Tang Zhuozuo somehow remembered his indifferent and alienated words in the morning, letting go, and suddenly he felt like a large pile of cotton wool was blocked in his heart.

It's really sad.

Tang Zhuozuo walked around behind the man, his two slender arms wrapped around the man's shoulders, and he noticed that his body was extremely stiff.

Huo Qiu cursed inwardly, and he didn't know whether it was annoyed by his lack of promise or something else, his expression darkened again and again.

Tang Zhuozuo was most afraid of his calm face and not speaking, so he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, just rubbed his neck with a cool face.

Her sniff was with a familiar sweet scent, Huo Qiu suddenly closed his eyes and found that he could not resist at all.

His voice was dangerously hoarse, and he caught her slender fingers like boneless, and asked, "Don't you have anything you want to say to me?"

She did not call her Jiaojiao, nor did she even call herself me.

just you and me.

Tang Zhuozhuo pursed his lips, and silently put down his arms around him. The long, curly eyelashes fell down, and the roots were distinct. He looked innocent, and he was a man who couldn't bear to ask any more.

Huo Qiu had to force himself not to see her.

"Why don't you believe me so?"

Why don't you believe what I said to protect you?

Tang Zhuozuo was still trembling slightly by the fingers he held in the palm of his hand. His questioning was like a knife that was not sharp, but it was still enough to scrape away the carrion in her heart, only to the bone.

This man really had nothing to say when he treated her, even if it was the small gestures she repeatedly made under his nose, he turned a blind eye to everything she did.

And when she was lazy and tired, and didn't want to worry about the messy things, he quietly handled everything that was in her heart.

Over time, she became accustomed to hiding her own thoughts. When she was with him, she didn't need to talk about gagging, but forgot what kind of uncomfortableness was hidden in his heart.

She didn't tell him anything!

Just like in the previous life, Huo Qiu didn't even tell himself.

How uncomfortable he is then!

Tang Zhuozhuo felt a bit dry in her throat, she pursed her lips, and retorted in a low voice, "No."

"I just don't know how to tell the emperor, and I don't know if the emperor will believe it."

Huo Qiu squeezed her snow-white chin, forced her to meet her dark pupils, and said decisively: "As long as Jiaojiao said, I believe it all."

This is not the first time he has said this to her, but no time has been more touching than this time.

Tang Zhuozhuo’s eyes were clear, and the mole at the corner of her eye seemed to be glowing, enough to make people head overwhelmed. She held her pinched chin, covered the tears in her eyes, and said: "The emperor wants to know what, Why don't you ask?"

She had never distrusted him. As early as when he had the plague and wanted to send her back to Beijing regardless of his body, she no longer had any distrust of him.

Huo Qiu smiled slowly, the smile reached the bottom of her eyes, then she bowed her head again and asked: "When did Jiaojiao and Jiang Jianxi met?"

"When I was thirteen years old, my concubine almost died of illness, and my parents had no choice but to send the concubine to the temple, hoping that the gods and Buddhas would protect me and the disease would subside." Tang Zhuozhuo's tail trembled, and it was obviously normal words. When it came to her mouth, there was a sense of cowardice.

Huo Qiu's expression was a little weird, and after a moment of silence, he asked another question, "Is that house tower and my Jiaojiao familiar?"

Tang Zhuozhuo hit the snake with the stick, squeezed his firm chin with a small hand, and was a little bit painful by the blue-black stubble. He couldn't help but grab a few more randomly before he answered his question.

"It's not familiar, but I have met a few times."

Tang Zhuozhuo tilted his head, and a strange meaning appeared on his pretty face, messing up Huo Qiu's robes and asked, "How does your Majesty feel about this person?"

Huo Qiu's hands around her waist couldn't help tightening, and her voice warned: "No matter what, Jiaojiao has nothing to do with Jiaojiao. Rather than worrying about the man next to her, Jiaojiao shouldn't put more effort on me. "

Huo Qiu couldn't help feeling sour at the thought that she had walked so close to other men before, knowing that she shouldn't.

He was so jealous!

He bit the four-character man next to him extremely hard, Tang Zhuo was silent for a moment, and then continued: "Your Majesty feels that Liuli County Lord is a good match for him?"
