Chapter 157: Paintings
At the same time, in the palace, Hongfu, who had been guarding outside the palace, quickly walked into the inner room and bowed to the woman who was busy at the desk: "Your Highness, as you expected, Zampu has come all the way to us since he came out of the Empress Dowager's residence, counting the time, it is almost there." "Since she knew that the ruler belt Zhudan was not in Tibet, the princess specially instructed people to keep an eye on the few openings that entered the city. Sure enough, early this morning, when the genius was bright, two people wearing wide black cloaks quickly lit up the customs clearance document and came in. Rao is Hongfu didn't see that scene with his own eyes, and he had no doubt about the identities of these two people, no, it wasn't even noon, and people appeared.
"Well, let's wait for a pot of tea first." Without raising his head, Tao Yao was painting by himself, and his expression was so focused that he didn't seem to care about the people who were coming. It's just that Hongfu, who is familiar with her habits, knows that this is a common method used by her princess to calm down, so she is naturally not surprised, and she went out after answering. She didn't know what Tao Yao would say when she faced the ruler belt bead pill, but it was always okay to make a pot of tea to nourish her stomach.
When the ruler Zhudan finally entered the house, he saw a beautiful woman in a plain cloud dress standing in front of the window, her delicate and flawless face was calm and smiling, and her fingertips were as white as jade. It seems that as long as you take a few steps closer, you can easily smell the rich fragrance of flowers, and the man was slightly surprised, and he immediately couldn't help but shout: "Good brushwork!" ”
"Huh?" As if she was not prepared for someone to come, the woman was startled, and the purple jade wolf in her hand trembled. Fortunately, she was not slow to react, and with a slight shake of her wrist, the overly smudged stroke soon turned into a blooming peony, and the overlapping petals stretched out homeopathically, and the second was publicized. Seeing this, Tao Yao breathed a sigh of relief, put down the pen, arranged the sleeves he rolled up, and raised a shallow smile at the apologetic ruler Zhudan: "You're here." In fact, she was aware of it the moment he stepped through the door, but she didn't expect him to make such a noise, but the reaction of being frightened was real.
There is no surprise that she has not seen for many days, and there is no blame and anger for him who has not shown up for a long time, she will always be so light and calm, as if she is just a passerby in her life, not a husband who is closely tied to her fate...... To be honest, in the face of such a peach, Zhu Dan was a little disappointed in his heart. However, the way she came forward was too natural, as if the two were old husbands and wives who had lived together for many years, and they were not easy-going, which made his heart slightly astringent and at the same time vaguely had a hint of being caressed. The two extreme feelings were intertwined, and he had mixed feelings for a while, and he didn't know what kind of expression to show.
"I'm sorry, I seem to ...... Scares you. After a pause, he finally pulled the corners of his lips and chose a mode of getting along with her: "I almost ruined such a good painting, but fortunately you saved it in time." It was also because this was the first time he had seen Tao Yao paint, and he didn't expect her level to be so superb, so he couldn't help but lose his temper.
smiled indifferently, Tao Yao pulled him and sat down on the side: "What's the big deal, if it's ruined, just paint another one, it's just a practice pen." ”
"Practicing the pen?" Feeling the different temperature coming from her fingertips, Zhu Dan subconsciously clenched her hand: "Why do you suddenly want to paint again?" I remember the last time he came quietly, Tao Yao was still caressing the piano with all his heart, looking nostalgic for the lingering sympathy of the old man. This time, it can't be related to Gao Xianzhi, right? Could it be that after he was away for so long, she didn't think of herself, so she patronized and reminisced about the past?
The hand of the ruler with Zhu Dan was dry and warm, and with such a ready-made hand warmer, Tao Yao certainly wouldn't want to push it away, so he let him hold it and replied: "This kind of old skill is naturally used before it has to be moved out." It's been a long time since I've painted, and my hands are very raw, and it's indispensable to sharpen my guns in battle. As she spoke, she blinked and said playfully: "You haven't been so busy with state affairs lately that you can't remember so much that you even forgot your grandmother's birthday, right?" ”
Grandmother's birthday? Zhu Dan was stunned for a long time, and almost jumped up from the seat: "I really didn't think about it......" No wonder when he went to his grandmother's just now, he saw that Aunt Jinxiu had always been talking and stopped, and he did it for a long time to remind this! Speaking of which, in previous years, even if his grandmother didn't want to make a big deal of it, he would remember it, but he had been running outside recently, and after he came back, he was worried about Tao Yao's reaction, and his mind didn't even have a concept of time at all, so where would he think of this stubble!
"So, you're here to give your grandmother a birthday gift?" reacted in hindsight, and the eyes of Zhu Dan looking at Tao Yao changed: "Xiao'er, I ......" He didn't expect that she was so busy, but it was actually for her relatives.
He knows his grandmother's temper, except for some insistence on state affairs, he basically doesn't care too much about other things, let alone his own birthday. In the past, almost every year, Aunt Jinxiu and him helped her to celebrate it alone, and ordinary people didn't even know the specific day. However, Tao Yao, who has only been married for a long time, has already unconsciously figured out all the details, which shows how deep his efforts are. And I, Fang Cai, is still speculating on her with such a narrow and paranoid selfishness...... Thinking about it like this, he really has no shame to face the woman in front of him again.
"It's okay, it's all trivial, you don't need to be too moved." Looking at his overly soft and faintly violent emotional fluctuations, Tao Yao patted his hand, with a bit of banter in his expression: "However, I don't know much about my grandmother's preferences, so if you think there is anything inappropriate, you can tell me first, and I will do it." "Since she came to Tubo, she has no intention of making enemies with any powerful people, let alone the noble and incomparable Empress Dowager Wulu here? It's too late to please her, and it's worth spending more time on her birthday. As long as it is beneficial to himself in the future, no matter what happens, Tao Yao will try his best to try.
