Chapter Seventy-Five: Temptation and Matchmaking

"Why didn't I do anything, and still sit here drinking tea and chatting with your daughter-in-law?" Looking at the grandson of his sister-in-law who he admired and was most satisfied with a smile, the Empress Dowager Wulu's always majestic eyes became extremely soft: "If I don't let people deliberately spread this news around your study, how could you come here in the first place?" ”

Tsk, it seems that her gaze is still as sharp as ever, and it is far from the point of being dizzy with old eyes. Not only does he like Li Nunu, but the depth of his feelings should be far beyond his expectations. It's just a little gossip, and it can make him so anxious that he even forgets the basic etiquette...... Why didn't she find out that there was such a trait of affection in her blood before?

Imprisoned in the palace of the Empress Dowager Wulu, and punish her? Tao Yao heard this, but couldn't help but smile bitterly. If you run into a bad mother-in-law, maybe it's really possible. After all, no matter who is right or wrong between the young couple, his granddaughter-in-law is just an outsider after all, and it is normal for the Empress Dowager to be out of tune even if she is out of tune. Fortunately, this woman has been able to support Tibet independently for many years and raised the only orthodox heir, which shows that she is shrewd and wise, which is still very different from ordinary harem women. With her personality and means, if she wants to be unfavorable to herself, it should be somewhere else, something else, a place that can bring practical benefits to Tubo and the ruler belt Zhudan, rather than being limited to the inner courtyard of the harem.

It's just that this man really surprised her. Tao Yao turned her head away and glanced at the ruler Zhu Dan a few times without a trace, but finally used a faint smile to hide a trace of complexity in the peach blossom eyes. She didn't really know what the relationship between the two of them would become if it continued, and she didn't know whether this gradual change would be good or bad. It's just that after so many years of God's capital, it is difficult for her to completely let go of her heart and trust someone again. In particular, I believe that someone who hasn't known each other for a long time and whose relationship is only in name. The friendship between her and Zhu Dan is really pitiful, if it weren't for his last sudden attack, I'm afraid they still respect each other so far, at least, in her case.

A long time ago, she was an unguarded little girl, innocent and carefree, lively and coquettish, thinking that the world was beautiful everywhere, and the people around her were all amiable, credible and lovely people, who could be full of joy and unscrupulous. However, as she gets older, the truth of reality becomes more and more cruelly presented in front of her, with an almost tearing pain, which makes her open her eyes and see the indifference and despair behind it. Whether it's her parents or brothers, or the princess Taiping she admires, and the person she wants to stay with for the rest of her life...... One after the other, silently, she felt the taste of abandonment and betrayal very clearly. Originally, they were all her trusted relatives and beloved, but no matter how much the veil of warmth was covered, they couldn't resist the pull of worldly interests after all. So, if she can't even rely on such a relationship, why should she believe in the ruler belt bead pill? She can't do it sincerely, it's all out of the instinct of prudence and self-preservation.

"Deliberately spreading ......" didn't know that Tao Yao had already come up with thoughts, and Zhu Dan looked the woman standing in front of him up and down, left and right, and only after finding that she really didn't have anything abnormal at all, he was faintly relieved: "Grandmother, why do you want to do this kind of thing for no reason?" If you want to see me, wouldn't it be better to send someone to deliver a message, why bother so much? ”

The Empress Dowager Wulu glanced back and forth at the young couple with interest, and when she heard her grandson's complaint, she showed a slightly sly smile: "I'm afraid that sending someone to deliver the message hasn't come so quickly, so you just think that your grandmother is old and bored, and she is just playing with you." "To say that this young man's feelings are indeed too simple and straightforward, no, a little test will reveal the stuffing. I still want to be angry with others, I really don't know my weight.

"Grandmother, you ......" was overwhelmed by her series of performances, and Zhu Dan looked at Tao Yao again, but his face also revealed a little curiosity and inquiry. Unfortunately, the girl had lowered her head the moment he cast her gaze, and most of her face was blurred in the shadows, let alone to see her subtle expressions. Thinking of what she said to herself that day, Zhu Dan couldn't help but sigh after all. How far is the distance between him and her? Isn't it a little too ridiculous to be looking forward to something?

Although the bitterness and loneliness in his eyes were well concealed, the Empress Dowager Wulu was old and familiar with his temper after all, and she understood it at a glance. But seeing that she smiled quietly, she immediately stretched out her hand and held the little couple standing not far from her: "Okay, okay, since you are here, then you two can just go back together." I've been busy all day, and I'm very tired as an old man, so I won't make people feel disgusted here. As she spoke, she clasped the palms of the two together, turned her head and ordered Jinxiu again: "Send Zampu and Kedun back to the dormitory, we won't be able to stay here longer." ”

"Yes, I see." The expression on the face of the Empress Dowager Wulu was the same, and the splendid female official immediately took a few steps forward and directly put on a posture of sending off guests: "Zampu, Kedun, the Empress Dowager is at the time to rest, I will send two." "Although the Empress Dowager Wulu has not had the habit of taking a nap in the afternoon for many years, at this time, she has to have it if she doesn't have it. Otherwise, what kind of reason are these two deadlocks here? The Queen Mother has carefully arranged such a game, but she can't give up her efforts no matter what.

Besides, she had noticed the name of the exit. In the past, because of their noble status, almost all of them were called princesses. But only today, just now, the Queen Mother suddenly changed her words and evoked Ke Dun, which reminds that the meaning is not insignificant, I believe that with the cleverness of these two, they should be able to grasp this key point at the first time.
