Chapter 100: Princess Weichang
Huo Quzhi stared at me and said, "I just came back and went back to the room to see you, but I found that you didn't know where you went, and the guards only knew that you and a maid went out, but they didn't know where to go." ”
"I'll go for a walk in the woods in the back."
"Why didn't you run out of the city without saying a word?" He took me in his arms with a slight sigh.
I still prevaricated: "It's not a child, what do you say?" ”
"Then leave a note, or tell the next person." Huo Quzhi gritted his teeth and explained loudly, and then sighed: "I'm really worried that you will suddenly disappear like last time, and I can't find you in all places." Ay! Lan'er, what should I do with you? ”
"Just taking a walk." Seeing his wide eyes, I stopped aggrieved. I don't know where I'm going, I'm just wandering around, he's been gone for more than ten days, how boring I'm alone in another courtyard!
"Next time, huh?" Huo Quzhi whispered softly in my ear, biting my ear by the way.
I'm so ashamed that I just want to find a hole to hide! He's so ashamed, there are so many people watching here. He stretched out his tongue and tickled my ears. I swallowed and whimpered, just trying to hide myself.
All the people who passed through the cloisters, including the servants, the guards, and the maids, everyone could not help but blush, and only dared to walk over without squinting, and no one dared to linger longer. But everyone saw that Huo Quzhi was hugging me warmly.
I jumped away from him hatefully, "You have been gone for so many days, and you don't accompany me, and you said to take me to Luoyang to play!" ”
Huo Quzhi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It turns out that you are angry with me, okay, will I take you out of the city to go shopping today?" ”
The streets are full of people, bustling and lively.
"Sickness, I want to eat that." I shook his hand and pointed to the sugar gourd not far away.
"Don't eat those, okay? You eat some snacks, I don't see how much you eat at dinner, let's go to the restaurant to eat, huh? ”
"Good!" I nodded briskly, still smiling sweetly, but continued, "But I want to eat the sugar gourd first." ”
Huo Quzhi couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, but he still fulfilled my wish and bought a string of sugar gourds for me.
Suddenly, a surprised cry came from behind, "Huo Shaoxia, Miss Huo, you also come out to shop?" ”
I turned my head to see that it was Ming'er, the girl I had saved before. Huo Quzhi's unusually tall back was particularly prominent in the crowd, like standing out from the crowd, very easy to recognize, she saw it from a distance, and hurriedly rushed over.
Chasing another girl in a yellow shirt behind her, she shouted as she chased: "Ming'er, why did you suddenly walk so fast." ”
When I looked up, the yellow-shirted girl behind me happened to see Huo Quai, who was looking back at them. In an instant, she opened her mouth wide in surprise, and she couldn't speak for a long time, so she could only widen her beautiful eyes and look at Huo Quzhi in a daze.
Huo Quzhi looked at Ming'er lightly, and when I saw the yellow-shirted girl standing behind her and staring at him, I obviously felt Huo Quzhi's eyes shrink, but his calm and waveless face made it impossible to see the emotions in his heart.
His cold and distancing appearance made the shy Ming'er not know how to continue, and when she was hesitating, I resolved her embarrassment in time.
"Miss Ming'er, what a coincidence." I laughed.
The girl in the yellow shirt stepped forward, turned her head to Ming'er and asked, "This is the Huo Shaoxia you said saved you?" Huo Yang? ”
Ming'er nodded, and secretly looked at Huo Quai's illness shyly.
The girl in the yellow shirt sneered, looked at Huo Quzhi and said, "When did my cousin change his name?" ”
This girl in a yellow shirt turned out to be Huo Quai's cousin, which couldn't help but make me look at him suspiciously. Huo Quzhi said lightly: "It's just convenient to go out, it's better for the princess to pay more attention to safety when she goes out of the palace." With that, his eyes glanced at the guards in the crowd as if he were inadvertent.
Princess? What's going on? I'm confused.
The girl in the yellow shirt looked at me again, frowned, and wondered, "I wonder when you have another sister?" ”
Ming'er on the side seemed to be as confused as I was, and wondered: "Isn't Miss Huoliu his sister?" ”
The girl in the yellow shirt looked at the crowd of people coming and going around and said, "This is not the place to talk, why don't you go to the Luohuaju in front of you and sit down and talk slowly?" ”
When the group sat down in the elegant room of Luohua Residence, I realized their identities. Ming'er is Qi Ming'er, the Wusun princess sent by the Wusun Kingdom in the Western Regions to learn etiquette, and this yellow-shirted girl turned out to be Liu Yu, the princess of Wei Chang who sneaked out of the palace to play!
Thinking that Wei Shao'er was planning to marry Princess Wei to Huo Quai, my whole body felt uncomfortable. At this time, I looked at Liu Yu and saw that she was wearing a yellow shirt with delicate and silky skin, and her black silk was only decorated with a little pearl, she inherited Wei Zifu's beauty, but because she was young, she showed another lively charm.
Liu Yu looked at me and said, "What's your name?" ”
I restrained my thoughts and said respectfully: "Folk girl Mulan." ”
Liu Yu glanced at Huo Quai's illness and said with a smile: "Cousin treats you well. ”
Huo Quzhi only looked at the tea cup in front of him and did not answer.
Qi Ming'er suddenly said, "Mulan, have you ever seen a wrestling match?" ”
"Wrestling?" What is that?
"Shall we go and see it together? I've seen it a few times, but it's all competitions held in the palace, so I don't know what kind of situation the people are doing!"
Wrestling, that is, hand-to-hand combat, the rule is to draw a circle for the range, the men are bare-chested, smeared with oil, to see who clears the other person out of the circle first, who is the winner. This kind of wrestling competition cannot be contested, only contested.
It is said that this kind of competition is not suitable for unmarried women to watch, but Princess Wei Chang has always been bold and reckless, often sneaking to watch, and will applaud with others when she sees the highlights.
I didn't know what the wrestling competition was at this time, so I didn't know whether I was alive or dead: "Okay! "My idea is that everything in ancient times is strange to me, and what can I not see if I can increase my knowledge?
Qi Ming'er said excitedly: "Then let's go together." He turned to Liu Yu again: "Eldest princess, you have to go with you too!" ”
Liu Yu smiled and nodded: "That's natural!" We made a new friend. Saying that, she looked at Huo Quai: "Cousin, are you willing to let Mulan play with us?" ”
Huo Quzhi, who had been beside him and didn't speak, obviously didn't want to integrate into the circle of this girlfriend, bent over and pulled me up, glanced at Liu Yu and Qi Ming'er calmly, and said, "Two princesses, Lan'er is weak and not suitable for staying outside for a long time, so let's leave it at that." Under the stunned gaze of everyone, he turned and pulled me away.
I looked over his broad, thick shoulders, and I could still see the shocked and disappointed expressions of the two princesses.
Back in the other hospital, I broke free of Huo Quzhi's hand and walked straight forward, Huo Quzhi called out from behind: "Lan'er!"
When I heard this, I not only ignored him, but quickened my pace.
Huo Quzhi took a big step in front of me, stared straight into my eyes and asked, "I'm not going to let you go to the wrestling match, are you angry?" ”
I turned my head and replied, "No." But the stiffness in my tone even I knew I was lying.
Huo Quzhi was stunned for a moment, and then defended: "The men in the wrestling competition are all naked, how can you go to see a woman who is about to get married and is a wife!" ”
My face was slightly red, it turned out that wrestling was wrestling! Although wrestling was a common sport in my day, 2,000 years ago, it was not appropriate for women to watch such scenes of men being naked.
I turned my face away and said, "When am I going to get married!" ”
Huo Quzhi stretched out his hand to pull me, "You want to marry me!" ”
Hearing this, I suddenly remembered the beautiful Princess Wei Chang in my mind, and my heart twitched, she and Huo Quzhi were a pair made in heaven no matter their identity, appearance, and family interests. Seeing Huo Quzhi's hand stretched out, I unconsciously shrank back.
I lowered my head and said quickly, "I'm tired, I'll go back to my room first." Without waiting for him to react, he turned around and wanted to run towards the house.
Before I could take two steps, Huo Quzhi hugged me as soon as he grabbed it, "Are you angry because of Princess Wei?" ”
I struggled to break free of him, "Nothing! ”
Huo Quzhi sighed lightly and said softly: "Lan'er, I have been a servant of the Son of Heaven in the palace since I was a child, and I have known Princess Wei since I was a child, but I only have brother and sister affection for her, and there is absolutely no intention of men and women!" ”
It's okay that he didn't mention it, but when I mentioned Princess Wei, I thought of the marriage arranged for him by Wei Shao'er, and my heart choked like a thousand thorns for a while, and I said coldly: "I have nothing to do with you, I don't need to tell me about this matter." ”
A look of hurt crossed his face, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "What did you say?" It does not matter? ”
I yelled at him, "Yes! It just doesn't matter! ”
Huo Quzhi picked me up, put it on his shoulder, and swept to the bedroom. I was taken aback, and lay on his shoulder, punching and kicking, "What are you going to do, put me down!" "Helplessly, my fist and embroidered leg hit him like a mosquito bite, and I couldn't shake him for half a point.
When the servants in the courtyard heard my shout, they ran out to check, and when they saw Huo Quai's angry look, they only dared to stand aside, and no one dared to step forward to dissuade them.
I was terrified, what was he going to do? I screamed in horror and rage, completely reckless, "You let me go!" I told you to let go, do you hear? "I struggled with all my might.
The green tendons on Huo Qu's sick forehead floated faintly, and it seemed that he was really angry. It began to snow again, but the snowflakes that fell on his body turned into a steaming steam, as if the heat in his heart was rising higher and higher, enough to set the prairie on fire. Ignoring my struggles, he strode to the bedroom in the other courtyard.
"Get out of the way!" He kicked open the door and said to the maid inside.
"Don't! Xiaofang, Xiaofei, stay with me! "As soon as I entered the room, I couldn't help but be scared when I was still hanging in the crook of Huo Qu's sick arm, so I called the maids' names and asked them to stay.
When the two of them saw Huo Quai's illness in anger, they didn't dare to stay at all, and immediately lowered their heads and retreated quickly.
