Chapter 048: There Are Assassins
"Miss, the wedding post between the prince and Miss Hua has come down, and the prince said that he wants you to accompany him to Washington in the afternoon, and you ......"
Lu Luo secretly hid the wedding card that Mo Huaijin asked her to hand over to Hua Qing, Hua Qing saw the big red wedding card hidden behind Lu Luo, and knew that the reason why Lu Luo hid it was because she was afraid that she would see it sad, so she replied:
"Okay, I got it."
Hua Qing continued to copy the recipe, and the green pothos deliberately closed the door when she went out.
When she went out in the afternoon, she found that she didn't go out for a few days, and as soon as she went out, the palace changed the weather. Red window grilles, festive couplets, and newly moved bonsai suggest that good things are coming.
Out of the palace, Mo Huaijin rode a high-headed horse and stood at the head of the team. She turned over on a white horse, the horse took a few steps forward, and followed Mo Huaijin, Mo Huaijin asked:
"Why are you disguised today?"
"It's inconvenient to ride a horse in a dress."
Mo Huaijin didn't speak again.
She is like this, she can dress herself up like a fairy, but she has to dress up as a man and hide her beauty, lest she attract unnecessary discussion and trouble to others.
remembered the last time I went out with her in disguise, or when I went to buy ink together, but now, it is like this.
When I arrived in Washington, Washington had already sent someone out to greet him.
Hua Qing followed Mo Huaijin into Washington, although Washington does not have the grandeur of the palace, but after all, it is a family of Xiangfu, which is not comparable to ordinary rich and noble families.
She couldn't help but think of the weak young lady who seemed to be blowing away when the wind blew, and she thought to herself that if she was born in such a family and was raised with such fine clothes and food, maybe she would be even more squeamish than Hua Ququ.
She stood beside Mo Huaijin, and there were only three people in the hall, such as Prime Minister Hua, Mrs. Hua and Mo Huaijin, because Hua Ququ was about to get married, it was not suitable to meet with the groom at this time, so she hid in the boudoir.
Hua Qing saw that Qin Tianjian held the imperial calendar and gave it to Prime Minister Hua and Mrs. Hua, and then sent one to Mo Huaijin.
"My lord, the 16th and 30th of September are auspicious days of the zodiac, and the 8th and 15th of October are also better. Please let the prince, the prime minister and his wife decide. ”
Hua Qing's heart was gloomy after hearing this, the day chosen by Mrs. was September 16, the day chosen by the prime minister and Mo Huaijin was September 30, and the final date was September 30, and September 30 was Hua Qing's birthday.
She was born on the last day of late autumn, and she remembered that Sister Yang said that she was born with a cold winter, and you really wouldn't choose a day to be born.
"The emperor and the queen mother have arrived!"
Everyone in the hall got up and knelt down to greet the emperor and the queen mother. As soon as the emperor came in, he said with a happy face:
"Flat, flat, flat. I and the Queen Mother are happy today, haha, sixth child, you are finally getting married. Not easy, not easy! Ha ha. ”
Prime Minister Hua Cheng stepped forward and said:
"I don't know that the emperor came to the queen mother, and the ministers missed the welcome, so I asked the emperor to punish him."
"It's all in-laws, this is not the court, there is no need to say these polite words to me, and besides, not only will I not punish you, but I will also reward you well, you have raised a good daughter, haha, come on, bring in all the rewards."
Prime Minister Hua smiled and knelt down to thank him, and Mrs. Hua knelt down again to thank him.
Because it was getting late, and today was a regular good day, Washington set up a dinner party, and at the same time set up a stage, Prime Minister Hua and Mrs. Hua were the hosts, and invited the emperor, the queen mother and King Zhao to watch the play together.
At the dinner, Hua Qing stood beside Mo Huaijin, Mo Huaijin saw that there was a chestnut cake cut into small pieces on the table, so he subconsciously picked it up, turned around, and turned around again when he said the word "you .....", and swallowed the two words "taste" along with the chestnut cake in his mouth.
Hua Qing's heart was inexplicably sour, and her eyes were slightly red, but she looked up at the sky and never let her tears fall, today is the regular day of the prince, she can't do such a disrespectful thing.
When Mrs. Hua saw Hua Qing standing beside Mo Huaijin, she only felt that she was too similar to Zhen Zhen, but the child born to Zhen Zhen was a daughter, and she was now dressed as a man, so she didn't ask more. Instead, Prime Minister Hua on the side asked knowingly:
"I have heard for a long time that King Zhao has a scholar by his side, who is beautiful and good at cooking, today King Zhao is here, why don't you bring that little scholar over, and you can have a companion with Ququ."
The emperor was beside him and said with a smile:
"Isn't this right in front of you?"
Everyone was amazed. Mo Huaijin said:
"Come out."
Hua Qing said: "Yes." ”
Hua Qing walked to the banquet and saluted:
"The little girl Huaqing met the emperor, the queen mother, the prime minister, and the lady."
"Hua Qing, take off your hat, raise your head, and let Prime Minister Hua and Mrs. Hua take a good look."
Hearing the emperor's order, Hua Qing was stunned for a while, but finally did so.
Dressed in a green shirt, the black hair is like a waterfall, the hair between the willow leaves and eyebrows, the peach blossom face is born, the eyebrows are raised and the sleeves are like snow flying, and the independent world of Allure is rare.
Mrs. Hua's face turned dead, and Prime Minister Hua was also distracted. Mo Huaijin looked at Hua Qing in front of him, remembered what she said to him in the carriage when the palace test came back, so he took the wine glass and drank it all.
"Hua Qing is rude."
Mrs. Hua was on the side at this time, displeased. So he turned around and said to the emperor and others with a smile:
"The theater troupe in the front yard came to urge, saying that the show will start immediately, and invite the emperor, the queen mother, and the prince to go together."
Hua Qing froze in place, waiting for the emperor and the others to stand up, she hurriedly retreated to the side. Prime Minister Hua Cheng had something to ask Hua Qing, but was pouted by Mrs. Hua:
"Hurry up and accompany the emperor."
Hua Qing turned around to keep up with Mo Huaijin's pace, and when everyone was seated, and Prime Minister Hua accompanied the emperor and others to order the play, Mrs. Hua came over and said to Hua Qing:
"I have a box of fine tea, sent from Yuncang, you go with me, take it and make tea for the prince."
Hua Qing said:
"Yes."
Hua Qing followed closely behind Mrs. Hua, lest she get lost in this Washington mansion. At the beginning, the two of them were still in a bustling and lively place, but the more they walked, the more they felt the depth of the courtyard, except for the guards standing in line to guard the Washington mansion, there were no other idlers.
Walking to the bridge, Mrs. Hua suddenly asked:
"Hua Qing, how old are you this year? Is there anyone else in the family? ”
"Mrs. Hui, Hua Qing is sixteen this year. There is also a mother in the family, no brothers and sisters. ”
Mrs. Hua let out an "oh", looking at the swaying river behind Hua Qing, her brain kept turning.
"What about your father?"
"I don't have a father."
"I heard that King Zhao has always been very good to you?"
"King Zhao is very good to our subordinates."
She replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, but Mrs. Hua still didn't like her, and Mrs. Hua's eyes turned quickly.
"Look, is there a man on the lake?"
When Hua Qing heard Mrs. Hua say this, she was so frightened that she couldn't help but look back at the lake, and she couldn't see anything clearly at night.
"No, where is anyone?"
At this moment, a guard with a bow and arrow rushed over in the distance, shouting as he ran:
"There are assassins!"
Mrs. Hua was so shocked that she was sweating profusely, and said softly:
"You go down and see, there really is."
Hua Qing leaned forward and lowered her head to look, but after looking for a long time, she didn't see the person Mrs. Hua said, and the river had been very calm.
"Ma'am, are you ......?"
Before she could say the word "dazzled", she felt an external force pushing her, and she fell from the bridge to the bridge.
"Collapse ......."
