Chapter 65: Love at First Sight
It's dark at night. In the Yuelou Xuan of the Princess's Mansion, although the guests had left, Huo Jingrou did not leave, but sat in place and continued to drink slowly, and the strong wine came up, making her cheeks red and her beautiful eyes blurred.
"Princess, don't drink anymore, His Royal Highness King Youwang is gone, you are also drunk, the slave and maid help you back to the room to rest." Chunping refilled the tea for her and whispered to persuade her.
Huo Jingrou listened, shook her head with a smile, and then raised her hand to take off the hosta on her head, and a supple green silk fell down in an instant, falling all over her shoulders. lined with her hazy drunken smile, all of a sudden the charm was full of charm and beauty.
Qingsi put it down, relaxed all over, Huo Jingrou continued to pick up the wine glass and drink slowly, while saying, "Chunping, do you believe that you fell in love at first sight?" ”
Chunping thought for a while and said, "Princess, there should be, but look at His Royal Highness King You." ”
"Oh?"
Chunping continued: "Princess, isn't His Royal Highness King You's love for Lord Qiao at first sight?" His Royal Highness King You didn't have a favorite man before, but he just played on the surface and ignored it for a few days, but this time, he was really moved by Lord Qiao. ”
Huo Jingrou couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "Silly Chunping, do you think Xiao Yaozi really likes him?" Do you think Xiao Yaozi is a simple person? Scold! Don't forget, Xiao Yaozi and King Cheng have always been good friends, and the two are as close as one person. And this king has always been at odds with the sixth brother. At present, King Cheng was sent by his father to Lin'an to investigate the matter of salt introduction and has not yet returned to Beijing, but Xiao Yaozi suddenly hooked up with the people around the sixth brother in Beijing, isn't there a bit of a profound thought behind this? ”
Chunping heard it and was silent.
Seeing this, Huo Jingrou laughed, let out a long breath of wine, and said, "Okay, Chunping, tell me about this famous Qiao Fengzhi again, and tell me everything you know." ”
Chunping came back to his senses and said slowly: "Princess, as far as the slave maid knows, this Lord Qiao has been a sensation for a while since he came to Nangan to live, if you want to say that His Royal Highness the Prince is the first beautiful man in our Nanqian, then this Lord Qiao is the first beautiful man in Beiyue." He walked side by side with our Highness, and everyone who saw him said that one was comfortable and handsome, and the other was pure and elegant and beautiful. The ladies of the famous families in Beijing who have not been out of the cabinet are secretly inquiring about Master Qiao. ”
Huo Jingrou drank a cup and laughed for a long time, laughing until there were tears in her eyes, and then said slowly: "Chunping, don't say that those young ladies from famous families in Beijing are princesses and me, and I am also moved by him, what should I do?" ”
"Huh?" Chun Ping was surprised, his face full of disbelief.
"That's what I just said, I fell in love at first sight." After Huo Jingrou finished speaking, she raised her glass and poured another glass, and then smiled bitterly: "It was last night, at the sixth brother's birthday banquet, I fell in love with him at first sight. ”
Chunping was stunned for a while, and finally suddenly realized: "Princess, no wonder you didn't leave the table early last night, you'd rather stay up late than drink spirits, it's all for Lord Qiao?" ”
"Not so." Huo Jingrou pinched the wine glass, always with a smile on her face, but there was joy and astringency in that smile. She said, "Chunping, do you know? He sat at our table last night, but I didn't dare to look at him all night, but I watched him all night. ”
"He was dressed in white, like frost and snow. The elegance of the fairy posture, the elegance of the dust, clear as the bright moon, bright as a pearl. It is the nobility in the mud and the refinement in the vulgar dust, which is unforgettable at a glance and reverberates. My heart was lost. Huo Jingrou said, drank a glass again, and her drunken eyes became more and more confused.
Chunping was shocked, seeing that she looked infatuated, she seemed to think of something again, and said slowly: "Princess, then your banquet today ......"
Huo Jingrou smiled bitterly: "Naturally, it's also for him." I don't need you to say that I also know that Xiao Yaozi is going to pester him when he is free now, so I have to invite Xiao Yaozi to come to the banquet, hoping that he will pester Qiao Feng to go to the banquet. ”
Chunping was shocked, relieved himself, and said in disbelief: "So, the princess ordered to tie up Lord Qiao over, and it was also because she knew that His Royal Highness King Youwang would definitely protect him, so she forced him to invite Lord Qiao to the banquet?" ”
Huo Jingrou smiled silently, and slowly drank the wine in the cup, as if he wanted to taste the spicy taste of the wine bit by bit.
Seeing this, Chunping suddenly became annoyed, and said: "Princess, it's all the slave and maid, just now you want to keep Master Qiao, but the slave and maid didn't help you stay." ”
Huo Jingju said: "Forget it, I don't blame you." You didn't look at that little Yaozi and wanted to take him out in his mouth, who could snatch him? ”
Chunping sighed: "How can this be? You and His Royal Highness King You are both interested in Lord Qiao, how can this be good? As we all know, Lord Naqiao already has a wife, and she is not bad, I heard that even birds will open their mouths to praise......" Chunping said this, suddenly reacted, and stopped talking.
Huo Jingrou looked at her with drunken eyes, and said with a smile: "Chunping, it doesn't matter if his wife is beautiful or ugly, strong or weak, what I want, is there anything I can't get?" ”
Chun Ping's tone was slow: "Princess, what are you going to ......?" ”
Huo Jingrou smiled on her lips, and said in a profound tone: "Chunping, do you know why people in the world are chasing power? What are you going to do with it? ”
……
Early the next morning, the rooster crows at dawn. In one room of the inn, the smell of wine is strong and the screen is tilted. The floor was disheveled, and a few boots were scattered along the side.
On the edge of the bed, the quilt fell to the floor. Huo Jingyao on the bed fell asleep and wanted to turn over, but he felt that he was holding someone in his arms, he closed his eyes and thought for a while, and suddenly opened his arms, hugged the person in his arms tighter with a smile, and said softly: "Fengzhi, are you mine, or am I yours?" ”
The man in his arms moved, muttering, "You are my man, don't leave me, Atsui." ”
The atmosphere was quiet for a moment. Huo Jingyao suddenly opened his eyes, looked down into his arms, and fell from heaven to hell in an instant. He kicked the jade tree in his arms off the bed, pointed and scolded: "Who is your person?" Yes? Who's your Atsui? ”
Yushu woke up and sat shirtless on the ground, looking at him in confusion, unable to speak.
Huo Jingyao saw that he was also shirtless, his face was blue, dare not last night, he and Yushu slept in their arms all night?
The more Huo Jingyao thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and pointed at Yushu and asked angrily: "Say!" My dedication? ”
At the mention of that person, Yushu's eyes immediately widened: "Ah yes! Your Highness, I remember! He's got you knocked you out last night! And then, and then the villain didn't know anything either. ”
Huo Jingyao understood as soon as he heard it. He knocked out their master and servant, placed them in the inn and fled. After thinking about it, Huo Jingyao sat on the bed with an aggrieved face, like a sad resentful woman, muttering and scolding: "Good Qiao Fengzhi, bad Fengzhi!" I treated him like a treasure, but he treated me like grass. If I had known, I would knock him unconscious and take him away, wouldn't it? ”
"Yes, yes." Yushu answered, raised his hand and rubbed his sore neck, and asked, "Your Highness, what should I do now?" Do you want to settle accounts with him? Do you want to send someone to take him down? ”
Huo Jingyao immediately glared at him: "Take him?" Who dares! What do you know? Hitting is kissing and scolding is love! This temple is willing to be loved by him! Also, you can keep your mouth shut about last night, you know? ”
Yushu: "Yes, the villain knows!" ”
Huo Jingyao: "Well, wash up and go to the court, go and see if my Fengzhi feels sorry for me today." ”
……
Hehuan Lane.
Yao Duran had breakfast and was sitting in the courtyard with Lu Yan teasing the birds. After teasing for a while, Iron Bone suddenly screamed out the door.
Lu Yan said: "Won't it? Isn't His Royal Highness King Ziyou going to court in the palace? ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard a stern reprimand from outside the courtyard: "Princess Roufu is coming, and she doesn't care about the beasts in the courtyard, who can afford it?" ”
Yao Duran and Lu Yan were surprised, and after glancing at each other, they hurriedly stepped forward to meet them. The green man stopped the iron bones, Yao Duran opened the courtyard door, and in an instant, she only felt that there was a beautiful scene in front of her, she didn't dare to look closely, and hurriedly saluted: "The concubine came to see the princess, I didn't know that the princess was coming, the concubine was far away, and I hope the princess will forgive her sins." ”
"No courtesy." Huo Jingjudid a word, led Chunping Pianpian into the courtyard, and looked at it leisurely.
Yao Duran really didn't expect that the princess Roufu she talked about a few days ago would appear in front of her today. This princess is really as Lu Yan said, she was born with a beautiful face and a moon-like appearance, and her magnificent grace is full of arrogance and coldness. Moreover, there is indeed an innate aura of intimidation in the body of the noble person, which makes her unjustifiably uneasy.
Huo Jingrou finished looking at the courtyard, and then set her eyes on Yao Duran's body, and after a blatant look, a complicated color crossed her eyes. She asked, "You are Qiao Fengzhi's wife?" ”
Yao Duran lowered her eyes: "Back to the princess, yes." ”
Huo Jingrou retracted her gaze and looked at Chunping, who understood and presented a brocade box in her hand to Yao Duran.
Yao Duran didn't know what he meant, and he didn't answer it for a long time. Huo Jingrou said: "In this brocade box is a letter written by Princess Ben to Qiao Fengzhi, and Mrs. Qiao handed it to him on behalf of Princess Ben. ”
Yao Duran was confused in her heart, so she reached out and took it: "Yes." ”
"By the way, there is nothing unsightly in this letter, if Mrs. Qiao wants to read it, you can read it." Huo Jingrou added.
Yao Duran said: "The concubine doesn't dare to look at the princess's letter privately. ”
"Whatever you want, alright, farewell." After Huo Jingrou finished speaking, she led Chunping to leave.
At this time, the caged qin song bird suddenly spoke: "There is a beautiful person, and you will never forget it-there is a beautiful person, and you will never forget it-"
Huo Jingrou, who walked to the gate of the courtyard, suddenly stopped, then turned around and came back, stopping in front of the birdcage under the porch. She looked at the caged bird, and said in an indifferent tone: "It's just a beast, always praising your wife like this, and I'm not afraid of causing trouble for her?" As she spoke, she suddenly opened the cage, reached in and grabbed the piano bird, and pinched its neck fiercely. The piano bird was pinched so that it opened its sharp beak, and it couldn't make a sound when it rolled its eyes......
"Princess, mercy!" Yao Duran was in a hurry, and shouted loudly, but it was too late.
As soon as Huo Jingrou let go of her hand, the qin song bird fell straight to the ground, slowly half-closed its mouth, motionless, and no longer sound.
The iron bones at the gate of the courtyard suddenly threw bones, and screamed wildly at this side, each more urgent than the other.
Huo Jingrou was unmoved, and calmly led Chunping to leave amid the barking of the dog.
