Chapter 9: Entering the Palace

After the next morning, Gao Sheji entered the palace with Tao Yao, and heard that Wu Cao was in the imperial study at this time, and the big and small two people followed the palace attendants who came to pick them up. Looking at it from afar, but seeing the tall and heroic man walking in a tiger step, and the petite and childish children also tending to follow suit, there is an extraordinarily harmonious loveliness, which provokes Princess Taiping, who is standing on the tall building, immediately hooks the corners of her lips.

"It seems that my niece and granddaughter are very close to General Gao." Even from that distance, she could also feel the attachment and trust of the little figure to Gao Sheji, thinking that this was probably the protector that Li Shouli found for his daughter. It's just that his mother's mind can't even figure it out himself, does he think that a tall chicken can change anything?

Sighing, her mind unexpectedly flashed the deer-like warm and wet eyes at the time of the full moon, and Princess Taiping couldn't help but smile again: "Let's go, let's go to the imperial study to have a good time." After five years, she also wanted to see what the doll that had a relationship with each other looked like, and for some reason, she always thought it would be interesting.

At the same time, in the imperial study, Wu Cao, who had changed into a jade white regular clothes, was sitting upright behind the rosewood bookcase, his eyes firmly locked on the pink-clothed girl kneeling below, and his tall phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, inadvertently revealing the arrogance and majesty of the superior: "Are you Taoyao?" ”

The tone was detached, indifferent as ice, and she didn't even have any closeness to her maid, as if it was just a child who had nothing to do with her, and it was superfluous to look at it more.

It seems that the matter of Prince Li Xian has not been completely revealed, Gao Sheji shook his head secretly, but his face was not visible at all, and he only tried his best to act as a background on the side. This saint was notoriously eccentric, and no one could figure out what she was thinking. The current situation is not clear, and it is not good for him to speak for Tao Yao without authorization, so he can only see how this little girl plans to deal with it.

"Back to His Majesty the Emperor, the courtiers are Tao Yao." The soft and glutinous voice sounded, and the little man still knelt there obediently, hanging his head quietly, and replied meticulously, like a good student answering the master's question, although solemn, but there was no fear.

"It's been a long time since I've seen such a daring child." said such a sentence flatly, and I couldn't tell whether it was praise or depreciation, Wu Cao's expression was heavy, but his tone eased almost imperceptibly: "Raise your head." "Li Xian is the only girl in this line, and she really wants to see what kind of face she has born.

"Yes." Responding neatly, Tao Yao slowly raised her head, and her eyes as clear as water met Wu Yao's eyes like that.

There is no trace of dirt and dirt, a pair of childish but pure eyes that seem to shine into the bottom of people's hearts, black and white, clear and transparent, just a pair, Wu Cao only felt that the tips of his heart trembled slightly. Her eyes subconsciously lingered slowly on that petal-like face, and her rare mood was complicated, and she couldn't even tell what it was like at this time.

I don't know how Li Shouli raised such a child, obviously born in the most complex and dirty place in the world, with the most embarrassing and unspeakable identity in the world, but he was born beautiful and flawless, almost absurd, for fear that the light of his eyes can illuminate the darkness and ugliness of people's hearts. It's ridiculous, at this moment, she actually wants to protect this little girl well, she can't bear to hurt her, and she doesn't want to hurt her.

"The appearance is still well-behaved, and if you kneel again, I'm afraid that the chicken will blame me for bullying the children." The curvature of the corners of his mouth was very light, but he obviously had a smile, Wu Cao leaned back and sat in the circle chair, and the momentum of his whole body was no longer as cold as before: "Help the county lord of Taoyao to get up and give him a seat." The latter sentence was said to the palace people on the side.

"Your Majesty laughed." Arching his hand, Gao Sheji's eyes smiled, and he looked at Tao Yao and sat down on the chair after thanking him, and couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart: This little girl is really clear, but it is not kind to hurt his old man who is frightened here. However, looking at the emperor's meaning, it should not be difficult for her, which is more or less a good thing.

According to the etiquette of the grandmother professor at home in Chang'an, Tao Yao sat on the chair meticulously, staring at her feet without squinting, while paying attention to Wu Cao's movements, lest she miss something key in a trance, which is really more tiring than practicing calligraphy with her eldest brother for a day. Just when she was secretly complaining, a palace man walked in from the outside, and after the salute, he whispered: "Princess Taiping asks to see Your Majesty, I don't know if you have announced?" ”

"Huh? Taiping is coming? Raising his eyebrows, Wu Cao's smile became bigger and bigger: "It's not slow, it's okay, let her in." As she spoke, she raised her head and glanced at Gao Sheji, who was about to speak, and sent him away with a fluttering sentence: "Sheji, you should step back first, you escort Tao Yao into Beijing, and I will talk about meritorious deeds another day." ”

"Your Majesty's words are serious, and Weichen is ashamed." Answering in vain, Gao Sheji looked at Tao Yao with some concern, but he also knew that he had no position to take her away, so he had to quietly glance at the girl when he turned around, and then strode away.

is as witty as a peach, and naturally received the information in a timely manner. Seeing that the only person who was familiar and close to her left like this, Rao is no matter how smart she was, she couldn't help but start to panic. Tightening her sweaty little hands, she tried her best to maintain the calmness on her face, but her cherry-like ruddy mouth was unconsciously deflated, and her small appearance was full of grievances.

Taking in every little movement of her, Wu Cao couldn't help but laugh secretly. It turns out that this girl is not leaky, no, as soon as the backer leaves, she will show her feet, and it is difficult for her to cover it up with all her heart, which is even more cautious and cautious than those women who have been born in the palace since childhood, and it is really fun.

"As soon as I heard that the little county lord came to Chang'an, I wanted to see him, but I didn't think about it, but I was preempted by my mother." Stepping into the door with a smile, Princess Taiping appeared in the imperial study brightly, making Tao Yao only feel that everything in front of her became vivid and bright in an instant because of this woman.

"Courtiers, see Her Royal Highness the Princess." Jumping down from the chair in time to salute, Tao Yao didn't even dare to look at it before hanging her head again. Mother said that these nobles did not allow others to offend their majesty, not only to be careful with their words, but also to pay attention to their eyes. In this way, it shouldn't be a problem for her to say less and watch less.

He glanced at Wu Cao, and there were smiles in their eyes. Stretched out her hand and pulled up Tao Yao, Princess Taiping's tone was full of intimacy: "I still remember the little doll I hugged when I was full moon, and it grew so big in the blink of an eye." As she spoke, she looked up and down carefully, even though her eyes have always been picky, she couldn't help but sigh: "In the end, it's still Chang'an's feng shui to raise people, I think God has such children, and none of them have our little peach to grow well." ”

The face subconsciously turned red, and Tao Yao didn't know how to react for a while, and when she was thinking about sweating, she heard that Wu Cao, who was at the top, had already burst out laughing: "You are a princess selling melons." It's nothing to sell yourself and boast in front of me, it's not good to scare other people's little girls. ”

"I'm just telling the truth, doesn't my mother agree?" Holding Tao Yao's hand and bringing her to her side, Princess Taiping liked it more and more: "Since you have come to Luoyang, you have to stay for a while." Xiao Taoyao, you can follow me during this time. ”

Follow Princess Taiping? Thinking of what his father said to him before leaving home, Tao Yao was a little confused for a moment. It is said that His Royal Highness's temper is the most like that of the emperor, and he has always been unpredictable and unpredictable. Although she is her father's aunt, it does not mean that she will take special care of herself. What does it mean to be like this now? Compared to staying in the palace, she really wants to live in Uncle Gao's mansion more.

The sharp and dark gaze swept back and forth on the bodies of the next two people, and finally fell silent, and there was no longer the slightest clue. Wu Cao just smiled and nodded: "That's a good idea. Girl, you can live in the palace with Taiping Anxin. ”
