Chapter 60: Entanglement of Thoughts
Because of this consideration, even if he returned to the temple where he lived, Tao Yao's heart was still heavy, and he had no intention of recovering for a moment. Even the shred of agility and vitality she had found earlier in the bazaar had vanished without a trace in this instant, as if the person she had just had not been herself, but just an illusion with her appearance. I can't catch it, let alone keep it by my side, and watch it for a long time.
Sure enough, she only shows that side when she's not by her side. Standing on the cloister outside the hall, through the hollowed out panes, gazing at the woman's delicate face, her thin lips involuntarily pursed into a cold straight line.
He thinks that he is not a very childlike person, and he rarely uses any thoughts about women, so it can be said that from the day he was born, he was destined to put all his energy on the magnificent cause of expanding Tibet. However, Li Nunu was an accident, an accident that broke into his heart without being caught off guard. It was rare for him to explore a foreign girl at first sight, and then step by step, he couldn't help but be attracted and sunk by her.
To be honest, his liking for Li Nunu was still very superficial at first. Because she is too obviously different from the Tubo women she is used to, even among the nobles in the Shendu, she is also the most dazzling one, which largely satisfies his vanity as a big man. Therefore, he was complacent, and did not hesitate to arrange everything in advance for her, and did his best to spoil her and love her, just like a love object for himself when he was a child, everything she had was in his hands, and he never lost active control.
It's just that when he was in the bazaar today, he inadvertently broke through the outermost layer of disguise, and he suddenly realized that this person had been out of his palm from beginning to end. The gentleness and obedience she showed, and her calm and decent were just what she wanted to see, and her person, her heart, never really belonged to him for a while. Even, to put it more bluntly, he is the puppet who has been manipulated but has never been aware of it! It's just that Li Nunu's method is too subtle and the means are too roundabout, so he didn't think about it at all. This woman, this woman...... There was a sudden hint of frustration in his deep eyes, but he didn't even know how to make an appropriate judgment to the person in front of him.
Zampu...... How did you get here? "Probably thinking too much, the ruler took Zhu Dan to stand outside the window for a long time, and he didn't even know when Hongfu came to his side. It wasn't until he was awakened by her slightly hesitant low voice that he turned his head to look at it in hindsight: "It's you......" Hongfu is the most powerful maid by Taoyao's side, and she has appeared in front of him many times, he can remember such a person.
"Is Zampu here to visit the princess? How do you get here and not go in? Seeing that the face of the master in front of her was different from usual, although Hongfu was puzzled in her heart, she still had no less courtesy. Therefore, she respectfully blessed her body and opened her mouth with a smile, which by the way, it can be regarded as a wake-up call to the peach in the inner hall. Although Zhu Dan has always been attentive to his princess and has been considerate in his actions, he has never been as straightforward as ordinary Tibetan nobles. But in her heart, this man is still an outsider after all, and the boundaries and vigilance that should be there are indispensable at all times, and the princess must be in the same mood.
"Well, I'm afraid that she will have to rest when she gets tired of going out, so I haven't decided whether to go in for a while." Absentmindedly replied, although the ruler Zhu Dan said this, his footsteps were already raised towards the hall.
She is like this, even the handmaid with her side is the same picture! Is he so bad that he can't get into their eyes?! An inexplicable irritability surged up in his heart, and the anger that had been suppressed before was lifted again, and he couldn't wait to go in to find Tao Yao to confront her face to face, and ask her what kind of position he was in her heart!
"Didn't you say that the army was busy today?" He had just bypassed the palace gate, and what greeted him was the woman's gentle smile like a flower and a flawless smile like jade, which made his heart skip a beat, and he subconsciously stopped his pace: "Why did you come to see me at this time, wouldn't those generals and marshals have any opinions?" "Her voice is soft and pleasant, like a spring breeze, and it can make people feel at ease in just an instant. Qi Dai Zhudan sighed secretly, but the powerlessness in his heart became more and more intense.
"I originally planned to go out with you, but I ......" Holding her hand, the ruler with Zhu Dan somehow had her chest like a lump of cotton, stuffy and aggrieved, and the emotions that were rushing out of it were also stuck there together, and they couldn't get out: "I've been dealing with them for so long, and it's not bad at the moment." No matter what, I'm still their Zampu, who dares to have an opinion on me. ”
The man's hands were no longer as warm as usual, but with a full coolness, it was obvious that he had been standing outside for a while. Tao Yao understood in his heart, only led him to sit down in the hall, and instructed Hongfu to pour tea again, and then continued to smile: "Having said that, in the end, the military affairs are important. If you're just trying to take care of my feelings, I'm afraid that even if they don't have any opinions, my grandmother won't be happy, right? ”
Even if there was no warning from Hongfu Fang outside the hall, with Tao Yao's keenness, it was enough to detect that Zhu Dan's mood was very abnormal. This man has always been arrogant and wanton, and his strong sense of aggression comes from his extreme self-confidence, no matter when and where, he is flamboyant and uplifting, filled with an extremely strong sense of existence. But today, he seems to have changed as if he is a different person, even if he is smiling on his face, he looks extremely reluctant, and the state of the whole person goes straight down, and he can't see the slightest shadow of the past. It may not seem appropriate to say that you are depressed, but it is even more off-topic to boil it down to anger, anger, or any other negative emotion.
She really couldn't figure out how the difference between a person who was good yesterday and hadn't seen for a day was so big. Could it be that he suffered from the idleness of a veteran in the army? However, even if this is the case, the temperament of the ruler with the bead will not reveal such a very different side from the past, right? What's more, what was he standing outside for so long?
