Chapter 416: Finally Arrived at Zhenbei City
After confirming Li Mo's attention to Cheng DΓΉ for Hongqi, Concubine Lu never dared to ignore this matter.
"Don't worry, it's not the first time we've done this kind of thing, when has the prince ever been back home on a business trip? There was news just now, saying that it is estimated that Aunt Hong and they should arrive around the clock. It's too late for the side concubine to set off, it's still early, take a little more rest, it's a welcome ceremony today, and a reception banquet, it's not easy at the end of the day. Now get more sleep and recuperate, otherwise you won't be able to support the day. β
The girl said.
Another girl, Ziling, said puzzledly: "Why is the side concubine so nervous, it's not the prince who has returned home, and you can afford to go so much, you still go in person." Supposedly, she should also come to meet the side concubine, right? β
She was quite unimpressed with Concubine Lu's approach.
Concubine Lu said: "Just because I am not the son of the world, I am more nervous." We are also familiar with the temper of the son, and what to do is very clear. But this Aunt Hong is dealing with her for the first time. Especially the prince of the world values her so much, there is a way that the king of Hades is good to see the little ghost is difficult to pick, if you make her unhappy, blow the pillow wind to the prince, and then make the prince unhappy, the position of the concubine of the north palace of the town, am I still stable? So, then cheer me up, don't slack off on this Aunt Hong in the future, I'll put my words here first. If you fall into the hands of that person, don't blame me for not interceding for you. β
Concubine Lu knew that these girls had always relied on her, and no one dared to mess with her in the mansion, for fear that they would not know the benefits and offend Hong Qi, and even if she was tired, she would be disgusted by Red Qi. This first time we met, I had a good impression, and we will get along well in the future. If you mess up at the beginning, you have to make up for it later, and I don't know how much effort it will take, and I don't know if you can turn it around. Concubine Lu didn't want to be ruined by the stupidity of these girls after all her hard work, so she put cruel words in front of her to warn them.
Hearing this, the girls in the room all looked dazed, and they were secretly vigilant in their hearts.
Concubine Lu was also relieved to see them like this.
"Serve me, get up and freshen up! It's better to be earlier than late. β
The girls were all busy, and when Concubine Lu had breakfast, her mother said that she was ready, and when she was ready, she would be able to set off. Concubine Lu nodded and continued to eat. When she finished eating, Aunt Yan was already waiting outside, and there were two girls that Li Mo had used, one was called An Xi and the other was An Le, a pair of beautiful twins, standing behind Aunt Yan at this time, waiting together.
Concubine Lu nodded, smiled at Aunt Yan, and said hello: "When did you come, why are you waiting outside?" This wind is not fun, like a knife. β
Aunt Yan has been by Li Mo's side for a long time, although she is not very favored, but she has never lost favor, and she still has some ability. Those who don't have the ability, or a day, or a month, will be sent away by Li Mo. There are many women who have come and gone over the years, but Aunt Yan and Aunt Qiao have not changed their status. Aunt Qiao also has a father who is a general, but Aunt Yan really relies on her own skills.
With such a person, Concubine Lu will naturally give her some decency.
As for the twins, they don't even have a name, and they don't have the qualifications to let Concubine Lu put them in their eyes.
Aunt Yan stepped forward to let the girl get out of the way, she gently supported one of Concubine Lu's arms, and said with a smile: "I just arrived, and I guess that Concubine Fang is also coming out, so I just waited outside." It's just a moment of effort, where is it so delicate, how to say that I am also the daughter who grew up in this northland. β
"That's right, our daughter who grew up in the north is Po Lai, the general with the surname of what last time?" Concubine Lu thought for a while, but she really couldn't remember, all officers above the rank of lieutenant can be called a general, so there are really many generals in Zhenbei City. The girl next to her still has a good memory, and said with a smile: "I remember that it seems to be surnamed Xue." β
"Yes, it's surnamed Xue."
Concubine Lu slapped her face.
"Didn't he go to the south and bring back an Oiran from his last vacation? It looks white and tender, like a green onion, I like it when I see it, not to mention General Xue, it is said that I love it more like flesh, but it's a pity that this girl from the south can't adapt to the water and soil in our north, and it is said that she fell ill. β
Concubine Lu let out a sigh.
However, then she frowned again: "So, I remembered, Aunt Yan, this Aunt Hong is also from the south, right?" How is her body? Are you okay? β
Kyoto is too far away from here, and the mansion over there is controlled by Princess Zhenbei, and Concubine Lu is not clear about what is going on over there, and there is no need for that, after all, Princess Zhenbei is over there, she is here, and the well water can't catch the river water.
Therefore, Hongqi's reputation in Kyoto is of course very great, and everyone can say a lot about her. In Zhenbei City, people's only impression is that she is called the first beauty in Daxing.
It's just that this incident makes many girls extremely unconvinced.
The aesthetic standards are different in these places, for example, the standard beauties in the north should be tall, physical, with plump breasts and fat buttocks, and those beautiful women in the south who are smart and smart, although they are not bad, but they can only be said to have their own styles. is like that Oiran, who is said to be the first beauty in Jiangnan, but when she arrived in Zhenbei City, no one said that she was the first beauty in Zhenbei City!
Therefore, there are not a few girls who have a lot of energy in their hearts.
However, Concubine Lu is no longer a little girl, and she doesn't care much about whether Hongqi is so beautiful or not, and whether she is worthy of the title of the first beauty in the world.
What she was worried about now was Red Seven's body. If it's not good, it's troublesome. If something happened under her nose, there would be no way to explain to Li Mo at that time.
Aunt Yan sighed: "Aunt Hong's body is afraid that it is more delicate than ordinary girls, and the side concubine may have to spend more time." β
Concubine Lu nodded, feeling a little heavy.
It's more delicate than the average girl, which makes it easier to have problems.
An Xi and An Le, who were following the two of them, glanced at each other, and An Xi's eyes were extremely bright.
While talking, the group had already arrived in front of the mansion, Concubine Lu and Aunt Yan took a carriage, An Le and An Xi took another carriage, and the girl and mother-in-law who went with them sat in the carriage behind. In front, there are guards to open the way, and behind, there are guards to follow, and there are also guards of honor, who are mighty and mighty, hundreds of people.
This posture is slightly inferior to Li Mo's return home.
Concubine Lu gave an order: "Let's go!" β
The brigade was dispatched, which caused passers-by to look sideways, speculating about what was going on with such a big movement in Zhenbei Wangfu? The prince is in the north of the town! Could it be that the king of Zhenbei, who was sitting on the border outside and confronting the barbarian army, was coming back? Other than that, I really can't think of it.
That's all the ordinary people can think about.
But the various forces in Zhenbei City, they have more information, and naturally their speculation is closer to the truth.
A splendid mansion in the east of the city: "I attach so much importance to a concubine, not only did I send a post to hold a reception banquet for her, but also made such a big battle to greet her, and even the side concubine and Aunt Yan went out in person, this Aunt Hong seems to have won the favor of the prince!" β
A solemn mansion in the west of the city: "It seems that I have to go to this reception banquet in person." β
Chengnan, a beautiful girl: "Hmph, the first beauty in Daxing?" Let me see which of the first beauties in the north city of my town is worthy of the name! β
In the northwest corner of the city, someone laughed.
"Are you coming? It seems that there is a good show to watch. β
β¦β¦
Before the Red Seven arrived, the dark tide in Zhenbei City had already begun. Countless people, with all kinds of mentality, are waiting for the arrival of this first beauty in Daxing.
It seems that the news of Hongqi's disfigurement has not been heard at all in Zhenbei City.
The spread of news in this world is too slow.
The people and horses of the Zhenbei Wangfu went out of the city all the way, and they followed a lot of people who watched the excitement along the way. The king of Zhenbei ruled Zhenbei City for many years, and he was also very authoritative and admired by the people.
Out of the city, the people of the Zhenbei Wangfu chose an open place and began to wait.
didn't wait long, I saw two carriages coming slowly, and the guards next to me, the girls who saw them had already recognized the familiar faces, and hurriedly informed Concubine Lu.
Concubine Lu hurriedly got out of the car, and the others lined up.
Concubine Lu's face was already smiling, so was Aunt Yan, and the subordinates were playing honor guards, and those on horseback dismounted, all of them stood straight, their attitudes were respectful, and they didn't dare to be sloppy.
They didn't know that the oncoming team, seeing this scene, secretly screamed in their hearts.
"What can I do about this?"
Qiushuang looked anxious.
Chunfeng, Xia Xi and others also had a bitter face. Originally, seeing that Zhenbei City was in front of them, they arrived at their destination safely, so that they had encountered bandits a few times, and they finally put a heart back in their stomachs after they were a little uneasy. Now, the heart is tense again.
Especially when they heard the guards say that the leader was still Concubine Lu, this face was even more bitter, they really didn't dare to imagine what kind of face that Concubine Lu would have when she found out that she was working hard and waiting for a place, and there were actually a few girls.
At this moment, Qiushuang heard the guards exclaiming.
"So, who is that person?"
The eyes of a few girls lit up.
Could it be Miss?
A few people hurriedly lifted the curtain and looked outside, only to see a horse galloping towards him, like lightning, and it was an extraordinary horse.
Several girls turned pale at the same time.
"Lord Shizi!"
"Why is the prince here?"
"Oh my God, it's the prince of the world."
"I, I'd better faint."
β¦β¦
The man had already rushed to the front of the convoy, and without waiting for the horse to stop, he flew up directly, but he landed like a fallen leaf, light and fluttering, and his posture was extremely chic. This person is none other than him. It's Li Mo!
