Chapter 11: Return to the Capital (1)
Chao Xi Wu returned to the place where she was born - the capital, it was already two days later, in the past two days, she and the horseman, non-stop, have not had a good rest at all, for Chao Xi Wu, who has been practicing martial arts for many years, is not tired but a little mentally exhausted.
The day they arrived in the capital was exactly August 15, and they came back just in time, Chao Huoxin had already known when they would arrive, and arranged for someone to wait at the door early, and when they walked to the gate of the general's mansion, Chao Huoxin, together with Chao Ximeng and Fang Mei, came to greet her.
The carriage stopped at the door of the General's Mansion, and all the subordinates watched the carriage, all looking forward to what the eldest lady who had been away for five years would look like, and there were some new minions who did not know it, and they were curious about whether the eldest lady of this legend was beautiful or ugly?
Under the expectant gaze of everyone, a weak Qianqianyu hand slowly opened the curtain. When everyone saw that hand for the first time, they somehow determined in their hearts that this eldest lady must be a beauty.
Chao Xi Wu slowly stepped out of the carriage, stepped out of the carriage, her appearance was completely exposed, and everyone looked at Chao Xi Wu in surprise, Chao Xi Wu in a fiery red dress was like a charming goblin, and the smile on the corner of her mouth made her look evil.
The long and slender single phoenix eyes, revealing a trace of coldness, she looks noble and cold, and her bewitching aura has become a very obvious contradiction, but this contradiction is very harmonious on her body, and it will not make people feel prominent at all.
Chao Xiwu's facial features are taken apart, but when they are put together, they are put on one face, and they take away all the style, making all the beauties eclipsed in front of her.
His eyes swept over everyone gently, and he stayed on Chaohuo Xin, who was standing in front of everyone, and walked to Chaohuo Xin's side, made a blessing and said, "My daughter has seen Daddy." ”
Chao Xiwu's words awakened all the divine senses, and Chao Huoxin looked at his unfamiliar daughter in surprise, who did not look the same as him, but looked like her dead mother, no matter where she looked, it was exactly the same, as if carved out of a mold.
"Okay, okay, five years have passed before you know it, and it's been five years since you left home." Chaohuo said with a sigh.
"Daddy, is this my sister?" Chao Ximeng stood aside, with a hint of innocence in his tone, and a little cautious, his eyes revealed a look of wanting to get close to Chao Xiwu, but he didn't dare.
Chaohuo Xin said kindly, "Meng'er, come and see your sister." ”
Chao Xi Wu also fell on Chao Xi Meng's body, today's Chao Xi Meng wore a blue long skirt, embroidered with white plum blossoms competing to open on the skirt, a white brocade belt around the waist, lightly tied the Qianqian jade waist, and a green silk pulled into a double flat bun, which made her look a little fairy.
"Hello sister." Chao Ximeng said very respectfully.
In anyone's opinion, Chao Ximeng should like her sister very much, but in the eyes of Chao Xiwu, who understands Chao Ximeng, it is not a great irony.
Chao Xiwu hooked his lips and smiled enchantingly, and said, "I haven't seen you for five years, my dreams have grown so big, it seems that I have really missed a lot in the past five years." ”
Chaohuo Xin looked at the two sisters who got along very harmoniously, both on their faces and in their hearts, they were very happy, and immediately said, "Let's all go in, if you want to contact the feelings, you have to give Wu'er time, Wu'er is probably tired after a long time of running, you go in first to have a good rest, and go to the banquet in the palace with your father in the evening." ”
"Then the daughter will retire first." Chao Xiwu said respectfully, and was taken down by a maid.
From beginning to end, Chao Xiwu didn't look at Fang Mei on the side, even if Fang Mei wanted to get angry, but she was afraid of being in front of so many people, and it was not good to get angry, so she could only swallow her anger in her stomach, and pretend to be happy.
After Chao Xi Wu left, Chao Huoxin and his party also walked in, and Chao Ximeng followed Chao Huoxin's side, praying and asking, "Daddy, can you take your daughter to the palace tonight?" The daughter also seems to have gone to the palace to see, and the daughter has never been there. ”
Chaohuo Xin glanced back at Chao Ximeng and looked at it carefully, his daughter is also a beauty, but compared to Chao Xiwu, it is a little worse. However, Chao Ximeng is like this, which can arouse the pity of men even more, and after thinking about it, he nodded in agreement.
Seeing that Chaohuo Xin agreed, a smug look flashed in Chao Ximeng's eyes, she has always been a well-behaved and gentle daughter in front of her father, as long as she is coquettish or something, her father will generally agree with her.
"Mei'er, you will send the clothes I have prepared later, send them to Wu'er, and by the way, you can pick a few pieces of jewelry and send them over, tonight's banquet is not as good as before, there is no difference." Chaohuo Xin instructed Fang Mei on the side.
In the past few years, Chao Huoxin has not married another wife, and because of the rules, he can't raise Fang Mei to the main room, but in his heart, he has long treated her as the main room, and all the big and small things in the mansion have been handed over to her to manage.
"Master, you can rest assured, the concubine will definitely do a proper job, and she will not disappoint the master." Fang Mei said coquettishly.
Although she doesn't like Chao Xi Wu in her heart, she also knows that Lu Dao is not the time for a dispute, and she also knows that Master Lu Dao has the heart to marry Chao Xi Wu to the prince, although she has thousands of disagrees in her heart, but there is no way, her daughter is not bad, but she is a concubine, just by virtue of this, she can't be a princess, and she can only be a concubine like herself.
"I've always been relieved that you're doing things, and you can take a look at Meng'er, if you need to take it yourself."
"Hmm."
After Chao Huoxin left, Fang Mei looked at Chao Ximeng and said, "Daughter, no matter what method you use, you'd better let Chao Xiwu make a mistake at the banquet." ”
Chao Ximeng nodded when she heard this, even if her mother didn't say so, she would do it, tonight's banquet on August 15, the palace will entertain many powerful ministers and princes, if she can make Chao Xiwu lose face at the banquet, she won't be able to raise her head in this life.
"Mother, do you think Daddy will really marry Chao Xiwu to the prince?" Chao Ximeng asked worriedly.
She doesn't want to be like this, she has always liked the prince, and she hopes that one day she can marry the prince, even if it is a side concubine.
"Listen to your father, it seems like this. But Meng'er, your identity is indeed not suitable for marrying the prince, even if you marry the prince, it is not the main room, do you think your future daughter will be the same as you? Fang Mei said earnestly, what she cares most about in her life is that her daughter is not a concubine but a concubine.
