Even though Tao Yao no longer has an appetite for dim sum, the osmanthus chestnut cake on the desk still hasn't been able to survive the night.

When the moon moved to the west building, the ruler belt Zhu Dan returned from the outside with a chill. Standing at the head of the bed and looking at the woman who was still frowning between her sleep, his handsome face was full of helplessness, and he subconsciously stretched out his hand to help her smooth it, but his fingertips were about to touch the jade face while involuntarily staying in place. After a long hesitation, he finally traced her silhouette in the air, and then withdrew his hand with a secret sigh.

She seemed to be chilly by nature, and a very light sleeper, and the slightest noise in the night could easily wake her from her dreams. She had just come back, and her whole body was soaked in the cold of the night, coupled with such an inexplicable touch, I am afraid that the next moment she would be startled to turn over and sit up. Although he really wanted to talk to her, it was better to forget about disturbing people's dreams.

was about to turn around and go to wash, but a plate of pastries placed not far away attracted all the man's attention for no reason. The nose moved slightly, and the ruler beaded Dan keenly caught a trace of sweet fragrance, and the stomach that had been ignored all night because of his busyness finally protested at this time, he raised his eyebrows slightly, but he went straight to the table and sat down, poured a cup of tea that was still warm in the pot, and picked up a piece and ate it.

In fact, he doesn't like things like pastries, especially those that came from the Tang Dynasty, although they are delicate and delicate, they are usually too sweet and too flashy, and he was tired of seeing them in those days in Shendu. However, at the moment, I don't know if it's because of hunger or something else, after a bite of chestnut cake, the sweet and elegant osmanthus fragrance fills his mouth, and it almost melts in his mouth, which makes him deeply surprised and can't help but eat several pieces in a row. By the time he came to his senses, the little plate was empty.

"Why are you here so late?" Even though he thought that the movement was small enough, when he put down the teacup, the woman behind him still asked softly through the curtain. She was probably not fully awake yet, and her tone was still a little hoarse and low, and it seemed demagogic for no reason on such a cold night: "Isn't it useless to have dinner, do you want me to ask Hongfu to make some more food and send it over?" ”

"Don't bother, it's good to have these." Standing up contentedly, Zhu Dan took a few steps closer, and looked at her through the faint light at the end of the bed: "Did I wake you up again?" In the past, whenever he was busy until late, he basically stayed in his study, and he would not come to trouble her again. But tonight, I don't know what's going on, he suddenly wants to see this person. So, even if everything was different from his usual habits, he still made an exception. Perhaps, Tao Yao is really different from everyone else for him, to be honest, he is actually quite curious about what he can do for this woman.

"Well, almost." Wearing a snow-white satin undershirt, he half-sat up, and Tao Yao's eyes were still a little hazy sleepy, so that there was less cold and alienation in the past, but a little more casual and lazy, and even his tone became extremely casual: "I also deliberately ran over and ate all my pastries, so it's better not to come." "Ever since she entered the Shendu as a child, she hasn't slept very well. So every time she is woken up while she is asleep, her temper will become extremely bad, and she is far from what she looks like on a daily basis. This point, Hongfu, who has followed her for many years, is naturally clear, and in recent times, the ruler belt Zhudan has been slowly accepting and adapting well, so when I saw her like this, I didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but smiled happily, as if I had found a treasure.

"This pastry tastes good, I like it very much, I can make more of it another day." I didn't mind her hurried tone, and Zhu Dan lifted the curtain and sat down on the edge of the bed, a pair of deep black eyes revealed a little softness, like starlight in the dark night, so bright that people couldn't take their eyes off: "I said that I was going to come, so naturally I have to keep my promise, otherwise it will be so bad for you to wait for a while." ”

He didn't even bother to roll his eyes at him, Tao Yao rubbed his forehead, still looking a little tired: "I didn't plan to wait for you." In the future, if you are too busy, you don't have to come to see me, and I am fine alone. "It's too much, but it's bad that he's here, she doesn't want to lose sleep in the middle of the night and stay open until dawn. In the past, she deliberately covered up these things, but now that she has said it, she has no intention of wronging herself again.

But it's also quite strange to say, originally Tubo himself was in routine training a few days ago, and it was normal for the ruler to be a little busy. But after these few days, the domestic battle should have ended a long time ago, why is he even busier than before? Could it be ...... Thinking about the conversation between herself and Hongfu before going to sleep, Tao Yao's heart turned a few times, but her face was still silent. In fact, under normal circumstances, the surrounding countries generally do not dare to think unfavorably against Datang, and she may be a little unfounded when she thinks so.

"When you say that, it's like you're angry with me." Seeing that the woman in front of him had lost her virtuous, gentle and decent mask, revealing all kinds of hidden little emotions and bad tempers, he was happy in his heart, and even his tolerance increased a lot: "The situation abroad has been unstable recently, and we have to be especially careful and vigilant, so it took some more time." ”

"The situation is unstable?" Seeing that the other party was not shy about mentioning it, Tao Yao simply opened his mouth bluntly: "Where are you referring to, Datang?" She didn't mind letting her know that she cared about her homeland. After all, that is the foundation of giving birth to her, no matter who it is, it is normal to ask such a question in this situation, if she does not say a word or pretends to be indifferent, then she is afraid that it will arouse suspicion.

"The situation in Datang, it's really hard to say now." didn't answer her directly, Zhu Dan half-tilted his head, and sighed long, looking very depressed: "To be honest, I can't see what the situation will develop after Datang, otherwise, I shouldn't have to worry so much." "That behemoth-like guy, dominating one side, always pulling a hair and moving the whole body. Even if he has thousands of lofty ambitions and bold ambitions, he has to be afraid of fear. Such a day is really a nest and powerless, he thinks about it for a long time, and looks forward to the day when everything can be subverted and there will be no more constraints.
