Chapter 54: Sincerity and Calculation
When the ruler took Zhu Dan to leave, he was full of thoughts, and even his expression was a little trance, and his previous image was almost like two people, so that Hongfu looked a little surprised, and only made a salute a moment late. Fortunately, he himself is not a person who cares about this kind of red tape, and at the moment he is not in his mind, so he walked over without paying attention. It was Hongfu, standing at the door of the main hall, staring blankly for a long time before entering the house, I really couldn't understand what these two people were talking about, so that the dignified Tubo monarch showed such an unbelievable expression.
"He's gone?" It was no different from before, Tao Yao still leaned on the soft couch in the same posture, but the laziness between her eyebrows and eyes was even more lazy, more indifferent, more like the appearance when she was in the Lanyue Palace, and there was a slight difference from the performance in front of the ruler Zhudan just now. What is the specific difference, Hongfu can't really say. But that sense of disobedience always made her feel that her master was wearing an invisible mask on her face, and only when there was no one else, she would show her true side without any worries.
"Well, Zamp is gone." Still sitting down on the small pestle on the edge of the soft couch, Hongfu slowly stirred the charcoal fire in the charcoal stove while holding a slender silver spoon, and at the same time couldn't stop the curiosity and exploration in her heart, she hesitated for a while before she asked, "Your Highness, have you just ...... Was it something that was said to him? Slave maid feels...... Zampu was a little weird when he left...... "He's been here a lot in the past, but he usually leaves with a full smile on his face. Where will it be like just now, it's clear that it's not happy, but if you really want to say that you're angry or annoyed, it doesn't seem to be. She really saw it in the clouds, and she inevitably had to take care of her master.
"It's just to mention some problems that may be encountered in the future, so that he can prepare mentally as soon as possible." took a sip of the water in the cup, although it was already a little cold, Tao Yao still drank it to herself: "While he still has a good impression of me now, I have to try my best to get more benefits for ourselves." It's hard to say how to say in the future, so you have to grasp the present. ”
In the past, when she was in Shendu, even if she was planning something, it had nothing to do with interests, it was just purely from her own heart. But now it's different, in this land in a foreign country, even if she has the entire Datang as a backer, it is far from quenching her thirst. If you want to live a comfortable life, you always have to put in the same amount of effort. She once prayed for God's mercy, but the cruel reality told her that many times, it would be better to turn passive into active. Princess Taiping is the best example, she has been with her for so long, even if she can't learn her skills, at least she won't lose face.
"Then what do you mean......" Hongfu thought of the previous scene, and her eyes widened almost unconsciously: "The way you look in front of him, is it possible...... Could it be all faked? "This ...... It's unlikely, right? When Hongfu thought of this, she couldn't help but panic a little in her heart. In the end, her years in the palace were not wasted, and even at this time, she still remembered to keep her voice low and not let anyone hear the slightest movement.
Shaking his head, Tao Yao put the cup aside and pulled the blanket covering his lap up: "He's not one of those fools who can easily be confused by beauty, even if I pretend to be like it, won't he notice it?" The distance between husband and wife is really limited, the more contact, the more you will understand, and she is not a person who is easy to fool, and she will not let herself fall into some bad situation so easily: "The most difficult thing to find in this world is not lies, nor truths, but those half-truths." As long as you can grasp this scale, it will be much easier to achieve your goals. ”
It was indeed because she occupied the position of the wife of Zhu Dan that she made up her mind to integrate into the aristocratic circle of Tibet. But it was not for him, but for the sake of being able to live better here, in order to make his trip and his family worthy of their name, more valuable and meaningful. Of course, she really didn't plan to rely on him to protect her life, and it was true that she wanted to stand side by side with him. It's just that it's because she never believed that a man's feelings could last long in a woman's body. It is true that the days are long and the sea is rotten and the rocks are all unattainable dreams, and she has passed the age when she loves to dream, and she has begun to think about practical problems. Therefore, it is especially important to stand on the same level as the ruler belt bead. Only by not being attached to that man will he treat her differently, and in the same way, she will have the opportunity to know and learn more about the hidden dynamics and situations. Yes, she doesn't trespass, and she doesn't take the initiative to do something so that she provokes suspicion. However, if all this news was sent to her voluntarily, then it would be a different matter.
Half-truths...... Hongfu was stunned when she heard this. So according to what she said, princess, still didn't she put her heart into this Tibetan Zampu? Anyway, when she saw the two of them at first sight, she thought that even if the princess didn't like him, at least she shouldn't hate him. The days of getting along with each other in the future will be long, the two are under the same roof, their ears and temples are grinding, even if there is no emotion, they will gradually accumulate, so there must be no need to worry too much. But now listening to the princess's meaning, she seems to ...... Didn't plan to go in that direction at all?
"Your Highness," swallowing her saliva, Hongfu hesitated for a long time, but finally didn't hold back, and cautiously asked tentatively, "You...... Are you still thinking about Gao Gongzi? She almost didn't make a sound in the last three words, just by looking at the shape of her mouth, Tao Yao could see what she wanted to say.
Miss? Does she still have the qualifications to worry about anyone now? is obviously a beautiful girl in her prime, but at this moment, the smile she showed was only full of depression and loneliness: "No, never again." I just know when it's best to do what works. "As for the so-called sincerity, it is too extravagant, and it is enough to pay it once at any cost. Now she can't afford to take risks, and she can't resist the slightest impulse.
She said that she would live well in the future, not for anyone, but for herself to come to this world, that's all.
