The silent waiting drowned all her expectations. After a long period of dead silence, Al Yunduo heard a quiet sigh from him, which made his excited heart slowly sink, as if he had fallen into the bottomless.
of abyss.
"I knew it, I knew it was like this..." Al Yunduo lowered her eyes weakly and smiled bitterly. At this time, she was like a banana leaf beaten by frost, drooping and unable to raise her head.
Looking at her retreating back, Tong Zhuo's heart suddenly sank, and his legs suddenly seemed to be carrying two hundred kilograms of something. He could barely move even half a step, but he couldn't open his mouth to hold her back.
Shan Yue doesn't know what's going on in her heart, and Shui Feng Kong is devastated in front of her eyes. The two of them have been destined not to travel together since they were born, so how can they talk about walking together in this life?
Al Yunduo came back to his senses from his memories, and there was no trace of Tong Zhuo outside the window. Only the looming footsteps in the snow were left to follow. Although he had experienced that night, the thought of disappointment was still there.
The ground stung her heart.
At this moment, a gentle knock on the door suddenly sounded, seemingly absent.
"It's already this time, who's coming to the door?" Qing Glaze murmured in a low voice, then raised his voice with a vigilant look on his face, "Concubine Yun has already gone to bed. If you have anything to do, please come back during the day tomorrow."
Unexpectedly, a low and soothing voice sounded outside the door, and Al Yunduo's chest suddenly shook.
"Yes, I did not think it through well. Since it is inconvenient for Concubine Yun, I will come back tomorrow..."
Al Yunduo knew that he was going to leave with his wooden head, so where could he sit still? He also forgot that he was sulking just now, and immediately stood up from the chair and said hurriedly: "Since Chief Tong has something to do, come in and talk.
Well, I haven’t slept yet!”
"Empress! It's late at night now..." Qingglai looked at the sky outside, her bright eyes showing her anxiety. If the empress went outside to talk to Leader Tong, she would naturally have nothing to say, and it would be in full view of everyone.
.If someone comes into the house in the middle of the night, that's a different story.
"Then just outside the door..." Al Yunduo rubbed his hands pitifully at her, pointed to the door and said, "Then let him stand outside the door, is that okay?"
Qing Glaze knew what she was worried about, and he also understood what she was happy about. So he couldn't bear to let her continue to be sad, so he thought twice and whispered, "Then, please stay in the house. I will open the door."
The moon is dark and the wind is high, and Concubine Yun is not allowed to stay in the same room with her foreign husband. How can she deal with this if word spreads out? A banquet for foreign guests is coming soon, and Concubine Yun is looking forward to seeing her father and brother on that day.
But we must not make any mistakes at this time.
Full of worries, she turned around and opened the door. Without even looking at it, she saluted to Chief Tong and said, "It's different now. If Chief Tong has something to do, just say it outside the door. It's not peaceful in the palace right now, so don't worry."
If someone with good intentions looks at it, it will cause unnecessary trouble for my mother-in-law."
Tong Zhuo was stunned for a moment, glanced at Al Yunduo not far away, lowered his eyes and said: "Thank you Miss Qingglai for reminding me. The emperor learned that the envoy from Dongjue has arrived in Kyoto. Because the emperor was mindful of the empress's homesickness, he gave special instructions.
My subordinates will take the queen out of the palace to greet her tomorrow, and this time the Great Khan and the Little Khan will also go with her."
"My father Khan and brother are really here?!" Al Yunduo couldn't help but couldn't help but cheered slowly, "You're not lying?"
"I dare not deceive the empress." Tong Zhuo replied in a deep voice, "Since the words have been brought and I still have duties, I will not delay the empress' rest. Tomorrow at midnight, I will wait for the empress at the gate of the palace.
"
Ma Lin, who was behind Tong Zhuo, saw endless joy in his brows, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense. He hesitated to speak: "Master, you..."
"No need to say anything, I...understand in my heart." Tong Zhuo sighed quietly against the night wind.
Before midnight on the second day, Al Yunduo packed up and rushed to the place agreed with Tong Zhuo, but she didn't expect that Tong Zhuo was earlier than her. It seemed that she had been waiting for a long time.
"Chief Tong——" The voice was high and clear, filled with indescribable joy.
Tong Zhuo turned around in response and saw Al Yunduo walking quickly towards him wearing a bright red riding and shooting uniform, and the bright red skirt moved with her movements.
"I haven't ridden a horse for a long time. Is it okay, Madam?" Tong Zhuo looked at her and asked in a deep voice.
He was holding two tall horses in his hands, both of which were black and shiny, with only the limbs and hooves white. This kind of divine horse, which rides on dark clouds and snow, is the BMW that many people dream of.
"Of course it's no problem! I grew up on a horse... Where did you find this?" After saying this, Al Yunduo regretted it. Where else could he find Tong Zhuo besides the palace?
Such a divine horse?
Seeing that she was eager to try, Tong Zhuo said so clearly. He handed the reins in his hand to her and said with a smile: "You try it first before talking."
Al Yunduo was overjoyed and took it over unceremoniously. He lightly stepped on the stirrups with his long legs and immediately jumped onto the horse. He leaned over the horse's mane with his right hand and said a few words. Then he suddenly raised his hand and waved his whip, causing the horse under him to neigh.
With a roar, he ran away like an arrow from the string, mixed with billowing smoke and dust, and headed north.
"Leader Tong——" Seeing that he was still staying where he was, Al Yunduo clamped the horse's belly contentedly, gently pulled the reins, put his hand in his mouth and whistled softly, and the horse slowed down and slowly walked back to Tong Zhuo, smiling.
He said, "Isn't Chief Tong leaving yet?"
At this time, the lazy sun rose, and in the faint golden light, the beautiful girl's clothes were flying, her eyebrows were flying, and her face was bright. It was exactly the same as the scene that Tong Zhuo had imagined countless times. He looked at Al Yunduo in a daze, which he had never seen before.
Al Yunduo's eyes are so bright and her teeth are so white. Her smile is clean and hearty, as if she is alive only at this moment.
The faint morning light shone on the two of them, and the sunlight softened Tong Zhuo's stern profile. His expression was soothing, and the corners of his lips quietly raised under the straight bridge of his nose.
"Let's go." Tong Zhuo climbed onto the horse's back with a strong posture, gently held the horse's belly, and ran with Al Yunduo towards the sky filled with golden light.
Please allow him to covet the beauty of this moment.
Chu Miaoer felt so comfortable when she woke up that she couldn't help but stretch out her hands. She turned around and saw Fu Yunqi sitting in front of the window reading a book. She suddenly thought that she had been dazzled.
"Are you awake?" Fu Yunqi put down the book in his hand, stood up and slowly walked towards her, smiling, "When you wake up, get up and eat something. I think you haven't eaten much in the past few days. You should have an appetite after you slept last night.
Bar?"
"Why are you here?" Chu Miao'er looked at him and asked blankly, as if he hadn't fully woken up yet.
Her question made Fu Yunchi dumbfounded. He reached out and gently pinched her jade-like cheeks, and said dotingly: "Where else could I be if I weren't here? Do you want me to go to the palace every day to accompany them?"
I don’t know what kind of deal Fu Yunqi made with the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother no longer troubles her, and often has some rare and precious objects delivered to her house, designated as rewards for her, but the Queen Mother has clearly stated this before.
She didn't want to see her anymore. She originally thought that because Fu Yunqi had agreed to inherit the throne, the Queen Mother would make such a 180-degree change for her, but when she asked, Fu Yunqi denied it directly without thinking. But no matter how much he allowed himself to be allowed to do so,
No matter how much you asked, he never revealed any information.
"It's rare for a husband to have half a day of free time, so he should spend some time with his wife." Chu Miao'er rubbed her eyes, yawned and prepared to get up.
Baitao heard the commotion outside the door, knocked on the door and walked in. She had already prepared hot water for washing. Baitao and Fu Yunchi seemed to have formed a tacit understanding inadvertently. She wrung out the handkerchief and stood straight.
It was handed to Fu Yunqi's hand, and Fu Yunqi took it naturally.
Chu Miao'er enjoyed the warm moisture on her face, sighed comfortably, and asked: "By the way, Yunqi, did Concubine Yun leave the palace successfully today?"
"I left the palace with Tong Zhuo." Fu Yunchi saw her humming slightly, threw the handkerchief into the hot water, turned around and shook his head helplessly at her and said, "I have done good deeds for you. If I do good deeds for you in the future,
When the two countries go to war, I hope she will remember your kindness to her."
After Fu Yunqi returned home yesterday, he accidentally mentioned that Al Yunduo had arrived in Kyoto and was living with Aldentai in the original inn. Chu Miaoer thought about it and asked Fu Yunqi to go to the Queen Mother to ask for this favor for Al Yunduo.
.
At the moment, Fu Deyou is just relying on medicine to hold his breath, and it will be gone if he says no. When the time comes, whether Al Yun, as a concubine in the harem, will die alone or be buried with him, I don’t know at the moment. This time, Tong Zhuo can be regarded as temporarily fulfilled.
Let’s go with Al Yunduo.
"Concubine Yun should not be a canary trapped in a cage. I just feel sorry for her..." Chu Miaoer got up and got out of bed. As soon as she sat in front of the bronze mirror, Tingfeng called anxiously at the door.
"Your Majesty," he turned around and said with a smile, "It seems that no matter whether you are out of the house or not, you can't steal half a day's free time. If nothing else happens, we won't be able to have a meal together later, right?"
"Miaomiao..." Fu Yunchi looked at her slightly apologetically.
Now that envoys from various countries have arrived in Kyoto, not only Fu Yunqi, but even Fu Yanshuo is probably also very busy. In the face of such a big right and wrong, Chu Miaoer is not an unreasonable person, and said softly: "This kind of
Naturally, state affairs are the top priority at this time, and I don’t blame you. Go quickly and come back early.”
"Princess, there is a message from the palace asking you to enter the palace as soon as possible... It is said that the messenger from the Heavenly Holy Kingdom has entered the palace..."
It wasn't until Tingfeng urged again that Fu Yunqi turned around and left.
After Fu Yunqi left, Chu Miaoer looked at herself in the bronze mirror and was lost in thought. This kind of political affairs has never been allowed for women to interfere, so you only need to take care of yourself and not let him worry about it.
"Is the princess awake?" A voice suddenly asked outside the door.
Wan Niang? She almost never comes to visit. Is there something wrong?
Chu Miao'er randomly selected a chiseled gold hairpin and inserted it diagonally into her bun, then stood up, gathered her cloak and walked toward the door.
"I just saw the prince leaving in a hurry, so I thought the princess should wake up." When Wan Niang saw her coming out, she bowed and explained.
