Chapter 158: Birthday Gift

Like? Hearing this question, Zhu Dan really held his chin and thought seriously: "Grandmother, except for occasionally reading Buddhist scriptures, it seems that she ...... Nothing particularly liked. Generally speaking, as long as it is something I send over, she never says anything bad. He was bent on helping Tao Yao's staff, but unfortunately he found out the problem after thinking about it carefully.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Tao Yao rolled her eyes mercilessly: "You are her grandson who brought her up, even if you don't give anything, accompany her to have a meal empty-handed, presumably her old man is also happy." This kind of thing is the same as not saying it! She had also seen the Buddhist scriptures that the Empress Dowager Wulu often kept in her hand, but as early as a few days after she came, she sent some of the existing solitary books on her hand, so now even if she sends a hand-copied scripture, it seems to have little weight. Therefore, she did not think about that direction in the morning. Originally, I thought that the ruler belt bead pill could help inspire her thoughts more or less, but now it seems that she is thinking too much about herself.

"I think the picture you just painted is very good!" I was really unwilling to be belittled by her like this, so I coughed lightly at the moment, and forcibly retorted: "A hundred flowers compete for beauty, the fable is good, and the colors are so bright, the old man must like it when he sees it!" If you want me to say, you don't have to bother to practice writing, just send this ready-made one over. Although his painting skills are average, his upbringing since childhood is there, and his appreciation ability is still first-class. Tao Yao's painting work is not bad, the color is extraordinarily bold, the painting style is clear and agile, just looking at it makes people look at the flowers in their eyes and their hearts are happy, how can they be more picky? In his opinion, this painting has nothing to do with the word rusty, it is purely too modest.

"Isn't that going to ...... Too sloppy? Tao Yao's eyes widened subconsciously, and she looked a little incredulous: "No matter what, she is still the queen mother of a country...... Even if you don't want to make a big deal, you can ......" involuntarily recalled the unprecedented pomp and circumstance of Wu Cao's birthday in her mind, and thought about Tubo's current national strength, she was silent for a long time, and finally just changed the question: "Grandmother, will she not like this type?" Otherwise, redraw a picture of the meaning of longevity? ”

Speaking of which, she was also affected by the atmosphere of Datang. If it is a dignitary in the divine capital, no matter what birthday it is, I am afraid that this congratulatory gift will not be inadvertently to this extent. Not to mention Princess Wu Cao Taiping and the like, I still remember that when she was still in Chang'an, her mother prepared a gift for an old princess who had already lost power in order to be thoughtful, and she was extremely fine, how could she send it away so easily. However, the folk customs of Tubo have always tended to be simple and rough, and the Empress Dowager Wulu does not seem to be a person who likes luxury pomp, so she realized it after a little thought, and she didn't hold on to it anymore. It's just that the style of this painting was according to Princess Taiping's previous preferences, and she basically didn't think about it, so it was not appropriate to send it like this.

Smiled and reached out to rub her hair, and said nonchalantly: "How can there be so many sayings!" What my grandmother didn't like the most was that someone emphasized her age to her, what a blessing and longevity, it sounded very old, but it made her unhappy. How good the peony is, the king of flowers, is to look at it makes people's eyes bright and vibrant. ”

"You're embarrassed to say it......" Tao Yao directly removed his hand and continued to stare at him angrily: "If you hadn't made trouble, I wouldn't have planned to paint that peony!" "Even though she is far away from the gods now, it is well known that Princess Taiping of the Tang Dynasty loves peonies. As a person in power, the Empress Dowager Wulu may not have so many taboos, but she has to be careful to avoid some. However, these words are useless to say to the ruler belt Zhu Dan, he can't pay attention to the woman's careful thoughts, and even if he listens, he will only laugh.

"What's wrong with peony?" It was rare for Zhu Dan to see her such a childish behavior, and immediately laughed and said: "Gorgeous crowns, this is a silent boast." Even if my grandmother didn't show it on her face, she must have been happy in her heart. "In fact, the Empress Dowager Wulu also traveled to the Tang Dynasty when she was young, and she also loved the graceful and luxurious peony that is unparalleled in the world. However, the flowers were so delicate that even though she tried to move a few from the gods, none of them survived.

"Tubo is barren and not as rich as Shendu and Chang'an, so some things are destined not to belong here." Even after many years, the Empress Dowager Wulu will be haunted by this matter again. Therefore, from that time on, he remembered a sentence in his heart, one day, he would let the entire Tang Dynasty fall under the name of Tubo. When the time comes, don't say it's a small peony, no matter how rich and incomparable the grand scene can it go? He wants everyone in the world to know that in this world, there is nothing that is not destined to be predestined, as long as it is what he wants, no matter what means he uses, he will inevitably get it in the end. Now this peony picture drawn by Tao Yao by chance should be a congratulatory gift from him to his grandmother in advance.

Now that the words have been said for this part, there is no reason for Tao Yao to disallow it. Shrugging her shoulders, she got up and put the picture aside to dry, and couldn't help but smile as she cleaned it up: "You can really save me trouble." Why haven't you seen that you have this speed in handling affairs on your own? Could it be that when others can't see it, our Zampu quietly hides and is lazy? ”

The whole body stiffened almost invisibly, and the expression of the ruler with Zhu Dan was slightly more unnatural: "It's just that things have been a bit complicated in the past few days, and my head has been big, so I have been nested in the study many times and haven't come out." As he spoke, he glanced at Tao Yao, and intuitively wanted to open the topic: "What, are you still worried about me if you haven't seen me for a few days?" Then why didn't I see you come to me? ”

All the time in the study...... That's a ready-made excuse. Tao Yao raised her eyebrows, but her tone was very peaceful: "For the king of a country, no matter how small a state affair is, it is also a big matter, as your wife, I still have this little awareness, and I will never cause you trouble when I am idle." Besides," she paused, and winked at the man who had a vague hint of inquiry in the depths of his eyes, "If you had the heart, you would have taken the time to come without me looking for it, wouldn't you?" ”

was soft-hearted by her soft words, and Zhu Dan subconsciously walked a few steps closer, and was about to say something, but he heard the woman in front of him continue with a smile: "But, it's still the same sentence, Zampu just has to be busy if he has something, and he doesn't need to come to see me." I heard that you were very busy some time ago, and you couldn't find anyone in this palace, and I didn't know, I thought you were going far away. ”
