Chapter Ninety-Seven: I Have No Regrets
"For what?" He tried his best to restrain himself at this time.
"Because... We haven't gotten married yet! ”
Huo Qu was stunned, and then lay down beside me and hugged me from behind. I let out a long breath and was about to get up, only to find his arm encircling me like an iron hoop.
He said, "Lan'er, you can't escape. The tone was firm and unquestionable.
"I... I should go sleep in the outhouse. I protested quietly.
"Just sleep like this, from today onwards, you will sleep here!" He paid no heed to my protests.
I was just about to say something more, when I heard him say again, "Lan'er, I'll go and tell my mother tomorrow that I'm going to marry you." ”
My body was shocked, but my heart was warm, and I suddenly remembered that Huo Qubing had never married in his life, so how could he marry me? There was a pain in my heart, and it hurt like I had been whipped.
"What's wrong?" Huo Quzhi sensed my uneasiness.
I took a deep breath and forced myself to hold back my uneasiness: "It's nothing. ”
Huo Quzhi turned my body over and faced him: "Didn't we say that we should believe in each other?" ”
I cried and said, "What if Madame doesn't agree?" After all... I'm just a maid after all. ”
Huo Quzhi took me into his arms, let my head rest on his solid heart, and he smiled: "Little fool, if my mother doesn't agree, I will slowly discuss it with her, and I will make her nod after all." Besides, when did I care about my identity! ”
Leaning on Huo Quai's arms, smelling the orchid fragrance that seems to be absent on his body, there is a kind of power that calms people's minds, I hold a little luck, maybe history just didn't record my existence? After all, I'm from 2,000 years later!
On the second day, after Huo Qu went out of the house, I did some simple work with Rui'er as usual, I asked about Huo Guang's situation, Rui'er said: "The young master took him into the palace to meet His Majesty, which is very in line with His Majesty's wishes, so he stayed in the palace as a servant!" ”
I smiled faintly, Huo Guangsheng had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he looked like a miniature version of Huo Quai. What's even more rare is that although he is young, he behaves politely. Presumably, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was looking forward to him becoming a tiger general again in the future, so he brought him into the palace to cultivate carefully.
As he was talking, suddenly Xiaocui ran in in a panic: "Lan'er, Madam is here, I want to see you." Xiao Cui's expression was full of nervousness.
I was stunned for a moment, and then I understood, Huo Quzhi told me yesterday that he was going to see Wei Shao'er, but the time should not have come yet, it seems that they may have missed it on the way.
I walked to the mirror, looked at myself, turned my head to Xiao Cui and said, "I'll go now." ”
As soon as she walked out of the house, Wei Shao'er had already strode into the house with the maid. I hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully, "I've seen Madame." ”
Rui'er and Xiaocui both saluted Wei Shao'er, and I nodded at them, and they quietly withdrew.
Wei Shao'er looked at me casually and smiled, "I don't want to beat around the bush and just say it bluntly." Wei Shao'er looked at my expression as she spoke.
I lowered my eyebrows and said, "Madam, please speak, Mulan listens." ”
Wei Shao'er sat on the right seat and said: "In the past few months, you have suddenly disappeared, and you are so anxious that you are like crazy, looking for you everywhere, and turning Chang'an City all over!" ”
My heart warmed, Huo Quzhi's concern for me was true, and he was really worried about leaving the desert because of a misunderstanding that day.
Wei Shao'er continued: "I don't care where you went, it's okay if you're back now, and I'll say some things openly." I'm going to get sick Zhang Luo's marriage, how many people are like him at his age who haven't married in Chang'an City? In the past, I was thinking about the war, but now it's time to think about personal matters! ”
I stared at the ground silently and listened to Wei Shao'er say, "I already have a favorite candidate in my heart, and you can probably guess who it is." As a sick person, how can an ordinary official woman be worthy of him? ”
Wei Shao'er suddenly said in a soft voice: "Mu Lan, you are a good boy, I will definitely promise you a good family business in the future, but now you have to help me persuade me to get sick, so that he can nod and agree to this family business as soon as possible." ”
The door was vigorously pushed open with a "bang", Huo Quzhi strode into the room, his eyes swept around Wei Shao'er's faces and me, and leaned over to greet Wei Shao'er, "Why is Mother here?" ”
Wei Shao'er looked at me with a little disgust in her eyes: "I haven't seen Mu Lan for a long time, I'll come to see her." ”
Huo Quzhi said: "Mother wants to see Lan'er, just talk to me, I will take Lan'er to see my mother." I went to look for my mother just now, but I didn't expect you to come to me. ”
Wei Shao'er said: "Oh? What are you looking for from me? ”
Huo Quzhi walked towards me, took my hand, and said to Wei Shao'er: "Mother, I want to marry Mu Lan as my wife!" In just one sentence, it is categorical.
Wei Shao'er's face changed slightly: "Go to illness, Mu Lan's identity as a concubine is already promoted, she is your maid, at most she can only be a housemaid." ”
Huo Quzhi shook his head: "No, I want to marry her as a wife, not a concubine, let alone a housekeeper." Marry her only in this life and this life! ”
Wei Shao'er stood up suddenly: "Are you crazy!" I disagree! ”
Huo Quzhi said solemnly: "I'm serious!" I had lost her before, and only later did I realize how important she was to me. How lucky I am to be able to marry her! ”
Wei Shao'er looked at Huo Quai, and then looked at him holding my hand tightly, and said angrily: "Okay! Good! Now you won't listen to me. ”
Huo Quzhi shook his head: "If it's right, just listen, no matter whether my mother agrees to this matter or not, I won't change my mind." ”
Wei Shao'er took a deep breath and said slowly: "Go sick, do you know who the wife that Lu Dao arranged for you this time is?" That's Princess Weichang! This is something that I have decided with the Queen! ”
My heart trembled, Princess Wei Chang inherited the beauty of Wei Zifu, and was deeply loved by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty since she was a child. Now Wei Shao'er wants to give her to Huo Quai, kiss and kiss, so that the power of the Wei family is more stable in the court.
Now that Huo Quzhi has relied on his outstanding military exploits, he has faintly suppressed Wei Qing, and coupled with the family affair with the royal family, he must be more prosperous in the court.
Thinking of this, I faintly felt that something was wrong in my heart, as far as I know, Huo Quzhi did not marry any princess, could it be that history is really stubbornly moving forward according to its own track, without the slightest error?
Huo Quzhi did not have the slightest intention of regressing in the face of Wei Shao'er's forced marriage, and stubbornly said to Wei Shao'er: "I don't mean anything to Princess Wei Chang, I won't marry her." Whether she's a princess or a fairy, it has nothing to do with me. I only want to marry Mu Lan alone, and my mother will not mention this matter in the future! ”
Wei Shao'er was choked by Huo Quai's words, and her face turned red with anger: "You are angry with me!" With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.
If it had been a few months ago, I might have agreed to such a condescending request from Wei Shao'er, but after experiencing so many things, I had already made up my mind to face my heart.
Huo Quzhi said: "You don't have anything to do, right?" ”
I shook my head, I knew that he cherished me, and just expressing his concern for me in front of Wei Shao'er in person would only make Wei Shao'er hate me even more.
Huo Quzhi hugged me and said, "As long as Your Majesty doesn't speak, no one can force me." Don't worry, I'll take care of it. ”
After a few days, Huo Quzhi suddenly said that he wanted to take me out of Luoyang to take a walk, I don't know where we are going, the two of them are simple, without any guards and servants, until they arrive in Luoyang.
Luoyang, also known as the Eastern Capital, is named after the Yang of the Luohe River, and is known as the "thousand-year-old imperial capital, peony flower city" by the world, and is one of the richest and most prosperous cities in the Han Dynasty. Merchants and travelers, coming and going from the south to the north, are endless, presenting a luxurious and magnificent scene.
Huo Quzhi felt that he and I needed to be alone for a while, and he didn't want others to disturb us before we got married, so he took me to Luoyang and lived in another business. Located in Luoyang, this industry is located on the outskirts of the city, covering a vast and spacious area, and the environment is quiet and elegant.
I was so excited to see the streets, houses, and buildings that I had never seen before, and it turned out that Luoyang was like this 2,000 years ago. I happily went shopping and watched everything on the street with amazement.
Almost all the people in Luoyang City are dressed up in fancy clothes, and everyone is competing for beauty, as if they are comparing who is more attractive, which is really interesting!
Living in Chang'an on weekdays, I originally thought that Chang'an was the most prosperous city in Dahan, but Luoyang is full of people, and the streets are full of traffic, showing a prosperous and lively scene, which is not inferior to Chang'an City. The cityscape here is very neat, and the market shops are arranged in an orderly manner, which looks very comfortable.
Huo Quzhi was dressed in black, the material was excellent, but the style was very simple, and there was no extra silk on his body. A thick and shiny black hair is tucked behind his back and tied up casually with a golden crown, which makes his appearance even more heroic.
As for me, it was much easier, I was originally only as good as Huo Quai's chest, and being held in his huge palm was like a big brother walking with a little sister, making me look smaller, and absolutely no one would think that we were a couple.
In the past two years in Dahan, I was saddened to find that my height had not grown much taller, and Huo Quzhi had grown a head taller than when I first met him, and now I can only look up at him.
After all, this was the first date after we admitted to the relationship, and I looked around happily, not having time to realize that the people around me were looking at Huo Quzhi in amazement and forgetfulness.
Everything here is so new! However, Huo Qubing was too tall, and some stores had their doors lower, so he had to bend down to enter, and as soon as he entered, he filled people's stores. I don't even have room to turn around, but I feel more comfortable shopping.
"Go sick, will you let me go?"
"Not good." He refused without thinking about it.
"But I want to go shopping alone."
