Chapter 9: Xijiang

Huo Qiujian slanted his eyebrows into his temples. Although he frowned, he was very gloomy and breathless, but if he smiled, he looked very beautiful and showed his masculinity.
When Tang Zhuozhuo cleaned his hands and walked to his side to study ink, he smiled slightly, but the smile was too short, and she was gone before she recovered.
For a while, she suspected that she looked at her left eye and did not speak, so she quietly studied the ink. There was an ice basin in the study, it was not hot, the temperature was right, the faint bamboo fragrance filled the room, and the mood was full.
No one spoke, but he didn't seem deadly silent, Huo Qiu wrote his pen, and Tang Zhuozhuo stared attentively, one writing intently, the other carefully, but inexplicably harmonious.
Tang Zhuozhuo's white fingers were printed on the black ink strips, exuding a bright white luster.
Huo Qiuou turned his head and saw this scene, and his heart suddenly became a little confused.
He sighed inwardly, put the wolf on the inkstone, raised his eyebrows and asked, "See what?"
Tang Zhuozuo returned to his senses, and leaned his head close to the undried rice paper, and looked dumbfounded at the black characters on the upper part: "What is your Highness writing?"
Why can't she recognize one of them?
"This is the word of the Xijiang area, you naturally don't recognize it." Huo Qiu didn't lift his eyelids, he paused after speaking, as if he suddenly remembered something and said, "After a while, I'm going to Xijiang alone, you... The things in the temple are left to you."
Tang Zhuozuo no longer entangled with those big fighting characters. She frowned, her white porcelain-like flawless face was full of surprise: "How long will your Highness go?"
Huo Qiu's well-knotted index finger rubbed the sideburns, and the black pupils fell suddenly, and even the voice was chilly: "I've been in the situation for more than ten days, maybe when I will come back."
The Xijiang dynasties have been in chaos. Officials and bandits colluded with snakes and rats. Only the local people suffered. However, the officials sent from above only walked around, picked them up and put them down gently. It's getting worse.
Even Emperor Qiong Yuan, who had seen a serious illness for a short time, had taken heart, so he was more at ease to go there in person.
Tang Zhuozuo wiped the ink stains on her hands with a kerchief dipped in warm water, but the black spots were very stubborn, and when she applied a little force, a large area of ​​red appeared on the back of her white and tender hands.
Huo Qiu took a look, pressed her thin lips, took the kerchief in her hand and wiped it a little bit, the coldness of the whole body was softened, Tang Zhuozhuo was slightly taken aback, his hands retracted subconsciously as if they were being burned. , But he was detained to death.
"His Royal Highness..."
Huo Qiu wiped off the ink stains in her hand before returning the veil to her. At the same time, he let go of his hand, his expression unchanged.
Only he himself could hear the beating sound in his blood, again and again, firm and hurried.
Tang Zhuozuo stood in the hall, his face was still a little red, and his attached wrists seemed to be burned by fire just now. She put her hands under the wide sleeves and moisturized her lips for a long time. "When your Highness is out, can my concubine go out of the palace to the temple?"
She asked a little nervously, and there was obvious hope in her moist eyes. Tang Zhuozuo's color was very good, and her eyebrows were slightly softer. Standing there was a portrait of Meigu Tiancheng. No man can resist this. Request.
Huo Qiu is no exception.
His heart trembled suddenly, but his eyes were suddenly cold and wanton. He said on his front foot that he was going to Xijiang, but on the back foot she couldn't bear to think of a way to see Wang Yi?
It turns out that these days of curiosity to please him, talk to him softly, just to wait for him on this occasion. Go to the temple? When did Tang Zhuozuo believe this?
Don't even think about it!
Huo Qiu looked at the woman not far away, a petite ball, with different emotions flowing in the originally bright eyes, and it made people unable to move their eyes. His face was so heavy that he couldn't sink, and suddenly Feeling a bit chilly.
Tang Zhuozuo didn't understand why the man who had been fine before suddenly got a cold face, only thinking that it was not convenient to let her out at this time.
The East Palace is no better than outside, and it is not easy to go out of the palace. She wanted to send someone to deliver a letter to her mother in advance, and make an appointment to go to the temple together that day. There are things she can warn everyone in the Tang Palace.
But seeing Huo Qiu like this, I'm afraid he won't allow it.
That's right, now is when the princes are ambitious, if she goes out, if there is another moth, it is not good for Huo Qiu in the end.
Tang Zhuozuo thought secretly. If he couldn’t get out, he would write a letter for someone to take home. He wanted to talk, so he listened to Huo Qiu and refused to answer: "Zhong Yu’s lonely loss is extremely heavy. Today, the two of you will apologize. , Gu is going to play and ask Father Emperor to send the two to the frontiers, to commit crimes and meritorious service, do you think?"
No one could hear such an obvious temptation, Tang Zhuozhuo lowered his eyelids, the light in his eyes was amazing.
Huo Qiu sneered when he saw this, but he was not disappointed. She had no hope that she could change.
No one knew her temperament better than him.
He turned his back, the black auspicious cloud pattern cuffs brushed across the table, and he spoke indifferently: "In that case..."
"The concubine thinks that if the two generals go to the frontier, they will definitely protect my country and keep the people safe. The decision made by His Highness foresight is naturally an excellent one."
Tang Zhuozhuo smiled slyly on his face, and Huo Qiu quickly turned around, as the monstrous anger on his face suddenly stopped.
He walked up to Tang Zhuozuo, and his face was a beautiful scene of Jiyue, but his words contained a faint smile: "It's the best, you will make people clean up and go to Xijiang with the lonely."
Tang Zhuozhuo's eyes were round and round, and the tips of her soft boneless fingers trembled. He seemed to ask in disbelief, "Your Highness?"
Huo Qiu Shen raised his eyes and glanced at her, knowing what she was surprised at.
He pursed his sharp thin lips, and said lightly: "Although Xijiang is chaotic, the scenery is excellent. If you want to go, prepare yourself, if you don't want to..."
Having said this, he paused uncontrollably, closed his eyes abruptly, and opened his eyes again, his eyes were as deep as two ancient wells.
It's just that he was preempted by the woman before he could say anything. Tang Zhuozhuo's eyes were full of shards of light, and even his voice contained an obvious meaning of joy.
"I want to go, my concubine wants to go."
If she could go out, she would naturally not stay in this dull and tasteless palace. Although it is not compliant, since Huo Qiu said so, there must be a way to make it happen.
Tang Zhuozuo suddenly felt that this trip was not in vain.
Huo Qiu tapped his fingers on the edge of the case table, his slender fingers fell down and made a low voice, his face hidden in the dark and unpredictable.
This was a momentary breath from the bottom of his heart, and it was expected that she would not accept it. After all, how could she let such a good opportunity go without him?
But she responded so lightly, how could Huo Qiu really be indifferent?
Perhaps this time, in a different environment, there will be some opportunities between them?
Tang Zhuozuo saw him suddenly frowned, thinking that he was repenting, and suddenly became a little anxious. She turned around and approached him, her small jade face with a big palm leaned in front of his eyes, and said: "His Royal Highness promises to be concubine. You can't go back on the matter."
Huo Qiu's black eye pupils looked into her apricot pupils, which were so clear that there was no trace of impurities, her thin lips were slightly pursed, and she said solemnly: "Prince Concubine Tang enters the temple and asks herself to pray for the loneliness until she returns. Can you hear that? "
Tang Zhuozuo suddenly let go of her lower lip, revealing a small tooth mark on her head. She smiled so that only two shallow crescent shapes remained in her eyes.
"The concubine listens to your highness."
Huo Qiu was still sitting on the chair in the study room until Tang Zhuozuo returned to Yiqiu Palace with people in thought. Zhang Desheng came in and asked if he wanted to pass the dinner, but he didn't care about it, and it took a long time to sigh.
Why do you always feel that she is taking advantage of it?
He stood up, his voice softer, mixed with the dark night outside, and very mellow.
"No, go to Yiqiu Palace."
Zhang Desheng was naturally overjoyed, thinking that when the prince concubine seriously coaxed people, it was more effective than anyone else.
It's been a long time since he saw the kind attitude of the master.
