Tao Yao hadn't seen Wu Cao for a long time. The last time I came, it was the Shangyuan Festival, and Princess Taiping brought me to greet and attend a dinner. It's the first time I've come here alone like today.

However, the current county lord is no longer the little girl who just entered the palace at the beginning, even if no one was present to support her at this time, when facing Wu Cao, she can still smile and bow as usual.

"Tao Yao greets His Majesty the Emperor." Along the way, Tao Yao had already put away his chaotic thoughts and turned to study Wu Cao's purpose for summoning him.

"Get up." Not long after the end of the court, Wu Cao had already changed into his regular clothes, and it was rare that he did not sit behind the table to review the chapters, but played with a delicate and small white jade hand stove, and leaned lazily on the soft couch by the Xun cage. It's like a tiger that has finished eating, even though it is elegant and luxurious when it puts away its claws, the oppression in its bones is still like a shadow: "The days you have entered the palace are not short, but I have never had the time to ask." How about the girl, are you still used to staying in this imperial city? ”

Sitting on the small table at the bottom of her with proper manners, Tao Yao couldn't look directly at this majesty, so she had to half hang her head and answer the question honestly: "Back to Your Majesty's words, there is nothing unaccustomed, Her Royal Highness the princess takes care of Tao Yao very much." ”

"You've voted for her." With a chuckle, Wu Cao didn't seem surprised at all: "I heard that you went to school with those girls from Xinping Chongchang, what did Dr. Ouyang teach during this time?" ”

"The Book of Poetry has been taught almost, and Dr. Ouyang said that women's teaching doesn't have to be too regular, so she is studying music before the holidays." Listening to Wu Cao's tone of gossiping, Tao Yao was also a little puzzled for a while: Why did His Majesty the Emperor, who was in charge of everything, suddenly care about these trivial matters? Could it be that this is actually touching her bottom, assessing whether she is qualified to marry Tubo and her relatives?

"Dr. Ouyang is rich in learning, and he is one of the few enlightened people among pedants, so it always doesn't hurt to learn more from him." Looking at the little girl in front of her with low eyebrows and pleasing to the eyes, Wu Cao's hand stroked the blanket covering her body one by one, and her face seemed to be smiling: "Girl, are you afraid of me?" ”

Your net worth and life are in your hands, so you're not afraid that it's abnormal, right? Tao Yao scolded a little, and when she looked up, she had a sweet smile on her face: "Her Royal Highness said that Her Majesty is the most disciplined person, as long as Tao Yao is not willful, you will naturally not worry about a child." ”

I didn't say I was afraid, I didn't say I wasn't afraid, I just messed around like this. Wu Cao laughed in his heart, but the expression on his face did not change in the slightest. This little girl is even more slippery than when she first came, and it seems that she is staying very well in the palace.

"With such sharp teeth, it's no wonder that even Xinping is not your opponent." She knows how brainless and domineering Li Xian's concubine daughter is, but as long as it doesn't affect the overall situation, even if that girl jumps up to the sky, she doesn't bother to pay attention to it. Many sect girls and escorts have been bullied before, and she thought that Tao Yao would definitely not be able to avoid such a small person. But after a little conflict against the Gao family kid on the first day, the school palace has always been calm, which has to be surprising. Unexpectedly, although Li Shouli is an ordinary person, his little daughter is an unexpected Lingxiu.

"What's the matter, when I first went, Tao Yao was bullied miserably." is also used to getting along with Princess Taiping every day, as soon as Tao Yao heard this, the coquettish tone of the youngest daughter's family came out, and she was unconsciously aggrieved: "If it weren't for the strength of Her Royal Highness the princess, I'm afraid that I would be pointed at my nose and scolded by someone for being an uneducated wild girl." Her ear power has always been amazing, and she heard a few words of Li Jijiang scolding her casually, but she had to call her aunt with a smile when she met. If she was by her parents and brother in Chang'an, she would probably have cried and complained a long time ago, but this is the Shendu, she is in the imperial city at this time, what can she do except pretend to be stupid?

"You are the eldest granddaughter of Prince Zhang Huai, and you are the lord of Taoyao County, who dares to say that you are a wild girl." After all, after being in the top position for a long time, Wu Cao's tone sank slightly, and the whole person showed a majestic and murderous aura: "As for whether she is educated or not, it is not something that she can comment on, you don't have to pay attention to it." "She should also mention Webster, the dignified princess can't even restrain a concubine, what's the use of her!

"Yes, Tao Yao listens to Your Majesty." This is the first time Tao Yao has heard her grandfather's name from Wu Cao's mouth, even if it is only four words, it is thrilling enough.

I heard that my grandfather had bad intentions and intended to rebel, and was degraded and exiled by His Majesty, who was still the queen at the time, and died four years later. During this period, no one knows, and no one understands why this pair of mothers and sons came to such a point. Before she came to Shendu, she had tried to get some information from her father, but he had always kept it secret. He just told himself that the emperor hated his grandfather so much that he should not mention it in front of her. But just now His Majesty talked about his grandfather's appearance, it is clear that it has nothing to do with hatred, what is this?

"Girl, you see it's snowing outside." Turning his head to look out the window, a slight smile line appeared on Wu Cao's face that had experienced the vicissitudes of life: "Ruixue Zhaofeng year, it seems that the people can have a good year this year." ”

Following her gaze to the goose feather snow that had fallen outside at some point, Tao Yao fell into a slight melancholy after a fleeting surprise. In the past, every year when it snowed, several of her brothers would accompany her to have snowball fights and build snowmen...... Now that they are at home, they are here, and I don't know if it snows in Chang'an, is it, and it is as heavy as the snow in Shendu......

"Homesick, aren't you?" The little girl's stunned look lasted too long, and she inadvertently fell into Wu Cao's eyes. Looking at the description that had already faintly had a bit of Li Xian's outline, her heart tightened, and for a while, her sour and regretful emotions were mixed, and even her voice became hoarse, but it was unexpectedly softened a lot: "I just received the news from Chang'an a few days ago, everything is fine in Yongwang's Mansion, your parents and brothers are healthy, and you don't need to worry too much." ”

Still a little unable to come back to her senses, Tao Yao nodded subconsciously, and when she remembered that the person opposite was the king of a country, her little face turned red, and she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your comfort, it's Tao Yao's gaffe." It's just the first time I've been away from home for so long, and I haven't gotten used to it yet. ”

"At a young age, it's hard for you." After staring at her for a while, Wu Cao finally shook his head with a smile: "That's it, when the spring festival begins, I will send someone to send you back to Chang'an, and you can only spend the New Year in the palace with peace of mind." "It's because she's too stubborn, holding on to the past, what's the point? The people are gone, let the wind blow away.
