"I pinched a flower!" Huo Xiangning followed what her mother had taught, pinched the petals with red dough, pinched the stamens with yellow dough, and then pinched the leaves with green dough to make a flower.

Zhang Ruoxi stroked her head, nodded and smiled: "Well done!" ”

When Huo Xiangning heard this, she giggled happily.

Huo Qiyou has never heard his daughter laugh so happily, she always hides behind the nurse timidly, even calling him daddy, can make her tremble, although he feels guilty about his daughter, but because he is really busy on weekdays, and he doesn't know how to get along with his daughter, he can only make the situation stalemate.

The laughter of his wife and daughter, which made him really curious, led him to pluck up the courage to move, but when he was about to cross the threshold of the arch, he saw the chief manager Qu Shaohuan coming from the left.

"What?" Huo Qiyou asked in a low voice.

"That young master, please come over and talk about it."

Huo Qiyou nodded, and after letting the chief manager step back first, he glanced at the courtyard with nostalgia before turning around and leaving.

He Qihuang's mother is He Guang's sixth concubine, she has been bullied in Xiangguo Mansion since she was a child, and her personality has become extremely gloomy and vicious, and she has been waiting for the opportunity to avenge being bullied.

She behaved dignified and polite, learning everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but in private she was very close to her uncle and wanted to get some connections from her uncle.

After marrying into the Huo family, she actively recommended her uncle and successfully persuaded Huo Qiyou to arrange for her uncle to work as a supervisor at the Huo family's wharf.

On the surface, she is looking for a stable errand for her uncle, who has failed in business, but in fact, her uncle is doing some unsightly errands for her and her father, and she will ask her uncle to solve it for her.

Marrying into the Huo family, she also volunteered, although the Huo family has a big business, but her sister does not want to marry as a concubine, so she seized this opportunity.

There is nothing wrong with marrying into the Huo family as a concubine, at least her status is higher than when she was in Xiangguofu, in the Huo family, no one dares to make her unhappy, but there are still some things that make her unhappy, such as the existence of Liu Qiaoruo's mother and daughter.

Originally, Liu Qiaoruo was unconscious for a while, and she was much more relieved, but as soon as she heard that Liu Qiaoruo was awake, she began to feel upset again.

After He Qihuang entered the Huo family, he deliberately wanted to get Liu Qiaoruo's mother and daughter, Liu Qiaoruo didn't care about anything, although she ended up relaxed, but Huo Qiyou was very good to her on the surface, but she never spent the night in her house, in order to please Huo Qiyou, she also took the initiative to take care of Huo Xiangning, but that little girl was really unlikable, no matter how she coaxed, the little girl just refused to get close to her, plus the little girl looked too much like Liu Qiaoruo, so she was angry every time she saw the little girl.

But of course she won't be stupid enough to blatantly bully Huo Qiyou's treasure, she will deliberately find someone to repair Huo Xiangning, either let her be cut by something for no reason, just say that the child is greedy for fun, or let her fall into the water for no reason, all kinds of means, the reason is always inseparable from the naughtiness of the child itself, or the person who helps take care of the child is clumsy.

He Qihuang was also worried that those punished subordinates would go to Huo Qiyou to chew the root of their tongues, so she asked her uncle to take advantage of the fact that when she sent her subordinates out to buy goods, she unknowingly disposed of the disobedient subordinates, and then when Huo Qiyou was about to investigate, he lied that his subordinates were afraid of crime and fled.

Helplessly, Huo Xiangning's life is very tough, no matter what method she uses, she can't kill her.

Let's talk about Liu Qiaoruo, she deliberately asked her uncle to send someone to disguise and send a letter from Liu Qiaoruo's hometown, falsely claiming that Liu Qiaoruo's sweetheart was going to marry a wife, the purpose was to stimulate Liu Qiaoruo to see if she would go back to Xunhe Town to find a lover, but she didn't expect Liu Qiaoruo's reaction to be better than she imagined, and she was too late to be happy.

What's even worse is that if Liu Qiaoruo was like a living dead all her life, it would have saved trouble, but now she has woken up again, which has made her mood worse.

was in a bad mood, so she wanted to find someone to trouble, so she asked people to bring Huo Xiangning over, and the nurse was not allowed to follow.

When Huo Xiangning came, she specially asked someone to serve the hot soup, and then tried her best to show the appearance of a loving mother, and said to Huo Xiangning: "Ning'er, this is the soup that my aunt specially ordered someone to stew, hurry up and drink it." ”

Huo Xiangning looked at her aunt in horror, every time she was with her aunt, she would be hurt, and after a few times, she didn't dare to get too close to her aunt, just like now that her aunt called her, she didn't dare to step forward.

He Qihuang saw that she was slow to move, and began to be a little impatient. "Why didn't your aunt call you?"

Ning'er ...... I want to go to my mother's ......," Huo Xiangning replied timidly.

When He Qihuang heard this, his brows immediately twisted. "My aunt is much better to you than your mother, your mother doesn't want to pay attention to you at all, what are you going to do?! Come over quickly, don't upset your aunt. ”

Seeing that Huo Xiangning still refused to move, He Qihuang glanced at the maid on the side.

The maid immediately stepped forward and grabbed the little lady's arm, and grabbed the little lady to the aunt and wife.

He Qihuang then glanced at the bowl of hot soup on the table again.

Although this maid is new, Qiu Xiang, who has been serving her aunt for a long time, has already mentioned it, so she roughly knows what her aunt means, she pulled the little lady to the table, and seemed to want to serve the soup to the little lady, but she deliberately slipped her hand and knocked over the soup, and the hot soup was spilled on the little lady's body.

Huo Xiangning cried out loud in pain, "It hurts! It hurts! ”

He Qihuang and several maids in the house watched coldly, and after a long time, He Qihuang pretended to scold: "Why are you so careless, look, you burned the little lady!" Why don't you go get a doctor! She said so, but a cruel smile tugged at the corners of her lips.

Most of the time, in order to avoid people's eyes, the emperor and Huo Qiyou both sent credible people around them to deliver news, but occasionally the emperor would sneak out of the palace to find Huo Qiyou, and the two also had extremely secret fixed secret meetings.

The emperor is over thirty years old, but he has a baby face, he still looks like a young man, and in order to make himself look calmer, he usually wears a beard.

At this moment, the emperor dressed as an old man with white hair and a white beard came to the meeting place.

This place is located in a corner of the city, the front room is covered by selling calligraphy and paintings, and the shopkeeper is quite picky, he can only enter the door if he sees the guests who are pleasing to the eye, but in fact, the shopkeeper is Huo Qiyou's person, who will be so difficult, just to prevent idle people from entering at will; The back room is connected to another house, as long as you go out of the back door, get into another house, and then out of the gate, there is another street.

Of course, Huo Qiyou and Li Dun would not have entered from the same entrance at the same time.

"What are you looking for me?" Even though he was facing the emperor, Huo Qiyou's attitude was still neither humble nor arrogant, and there was no trace of flattery.
