Chapter 242 Favoritism
The evening breeze blew head-on, soothing the hot cheeks.
Zhao Su didn’t give himself too long to hesitate, and when he stepped out the door, he asked someone to summon Hua Wanyong to prepare a horse.
Drinking is to strengthen her courage, but also to wash away those distracting thoughts – she either does not go, or she goes, and it is not good to look forward to the future.
She is not going to plot anything, or want to deliberately change anything, is subconsciously feel that the trip, not the emperor today in front of the people that lift her, she is still half a reaction is not.
As for what to do after the reaction, she actually do not know, if know, also do not have to drink on these few mouths of wine.
Maybe after seeing him she just thanked him properly, and then greatly and frankly withdrew, not to let him misunderstand himself because he saw him and Luo Yan and together set off emotions, to maintain a socialist atmosphere under the atmosphere of the young woman’s demeanor, to put themselves back in a decent position.
Or perhaps it was purely a whim, idly bored.
In any case, she only wanted to go on this trip.
She went out the door together with Hua Qianrong.
The doorway rubbed shoulders with Zhao Sum, who was returning from a banquet, and she didn’t stop.
……
The emperor ate his dinner and walked around in front of the door twice before stopping on the stone steps.
Four Happiness looked at him and couldn’t help but say, “At this moment the front palace gate, is already closed.”
The locks fell in the dark, this was the rule. When the palace gate is locked, no one will come in, nor can they enter.
The emperor did not know whether to hear, but also stood for a moment before folding.
Four happiness followed behind him, again no words to find words: “Today the wind is cool. Previously small to go to the marquis house, Su girl in rest, I’m afraid it is really hot, with the emperor explained to send the relief of summer heat dan, she will be able to go to the palace tomorrow to do their job again.”
Finished did not see a response, he looked ahead, and said with a hard head: “the emperor has not caress the song for a long time, today the wind is clear and the stars are clear, how about the small to go to the support of a zither table, the emperor pastime pastime?”
The emperor still just walk, did not make a sound.
……
Zhao Su arrived at the palace gate, the palace door has been locked. Once the palace door is locked, according to the rules without military emergency shall not disturb the holy peace.
The guards on duty held out their spears to block her, and after recognizing her, they spoke politely, but their men didn’t flinch.
But when she pulled out the emperor’s fan she held in her hand – a bone fan with not only engraved characters but also a small dragon pendant, a tattoo that belonged exclusively to the imperial court – the general immediately bowed his body down.
“I’ll come down to guide the way for the girl!”
Hua Wanyong stayed outside the door and waited.
Zhao Su had never walked in the palace city at night before, this piece of the city was silent and silent at the moment, and as she walked down the tunnel, the sound of the armor on the general’s body clashing with the sound of her footsteps could be heard distinctly.
It …… is even the sound of her own heartbeat.
Even if you tell yourself ten thousand times that you are here to thank you for your kindness, you can no longer deceive yourself and others at this moment.
The emperor chased her to the Luo family, clearly said that he wanted to go with her, and then he left first.
It turned out that she misunderstood him, she was happy, and a little embarrassed, always thinking about the need to talk about this to be good, I don’t know why, just don’t want him to feel that he is still angry.
She would like to go to him in front of a face, like in the past, pulling the strings to find a sense of existence, even if he has to find a reason to punish, she is also happy.
She knew clearly in her heart, into the palace when the matter, I do not know from when onwards is no longer torture, in the Qianqing Palace wandering, look at him busy or, look at his pastime or, or with him fighting, constantly on the edge of overstepping the limits of the frantic temptation, have become her heart a kind of hidden fun.
She even stopped beating her chest to keep a distance from the emperor under the hammering of the Marquis of Qingyun.
He gave her the word, she thought it was bad, and again, she still tucked his handwritten words back into her house.
He let Han Jun stand up for her in the name of protecting his shortcomings, and she came back to willingly wrap dumplings for him with all her heart.
Since when had he come down a bit from his lofty position of honor as emperor?
Making her unconsciously have a bit of expectation, expecting that perhaps she and a feudal overlord hundreds of years apart could also have a bit of empathy?
“Wait a moment, Servant Zhao, I will make a handover with the guards on duty.”
Arriving under the Qianqing Gate, the general greeted.
Zhao Su nodded and stopped in place.
But at that moment, she heard the sound of a zither coming through the wall.
She didn’t have outstanding hearing, Empress Lu’s Ci Ning Palace was far away from here, so if it was coming from the harem she definitely couldn’t hear it. Then do not need to spend what thought, can also guess that at this moment the piano is the emperor.
It seems that he is in a good mood, busy day down there is still elegant pleasure to play the piano, she thought.
Coincidentally, this is the same tune he used to play that day on the boat in the Cangzhou canal.
Zhao Su gradually feel a little lazy limbs, she sat down on the door pier, resting her cheeks waiting for the general, but the ear cavity is all clanging zither sound.
As if back to that day, not too hot sunshine through the willow branches into the boat, he sat cross-legged in the cabin, leisurely playing the flute, have a conversation with her, so close that she reached out and touched.
And what was she thinking at that moment? She was thinking, once upon a time as far away from the emperor as a heaven and earth, the original can be so close, can also be grounded like an ordinary friend.
She was a little proud, and a little proud, more like the warmth and comfort of being with a friend.
…… The general hadn’t returned yet.
She turned back and looked at the hidden door.
After a moment’s thought, she simply pushed the door straight open.
As soon as the door opened, the sound of the zither broke.
The emperor, who was wearing a loose robe and sitting cross-legged behind the zither platform, abruptly raised his head.
The courtyard was lit up on all sides with many lamps, and on a night without moonlight, it was brightly lit. The dim light illuminated the white-robed him in a somewhat dreamy way, and the light and shadow outlined his handsome features perfectly, and in the courtyard where he was the only one left, he looked like the moon being held by all the stars.
And his pair of eyes, at the moment of casting his sight over, was more like two stars that were abruptly lit up.
Zhao Su didn’t expect him to be in the courtyard, and met his gaze so directly. Her heart was also like a tugged string, suddenly trembled for a moment, and her prepared opening remarks were scattered!
Outside the door, the forbidden guards who had been standing like stakes saw her break into the courtyard and surged in one after another! For a moment the swords and guns were all pointed at her.
The Emperor’s gaze suddenly converged, waving his hand for them to retreat.
Zhao Su sank her breath and stabilized her mind, “My subordinate refers to the Emperor.”
The emperor’s gaze descended and saw the fan clutched tightly in her hand. “Something is wrong?”
Zhao Su didn’t say anything and took a few steps, stopping at his side.
These few steps were like stepping directly onto a charcoal fire, her body’s limbs gradually caught fire, and her blood qi seemed to burn out her brain, and after stopping for a few moments, she took a seat on the side of the zither platform.
The emperor also just looked at her.
She learned him to cross her legs, and her lips spread out, “…… You, why are you still awake?”
