Emperor Wu was already sitting on the main hall, the ministers of civil and military affairs and the envoys had returned to their positions, and Huo Guang and Huan Wuping were standing side by side at the table.

The result of the game has been very obvious, Huo Guang's victory is not because of Huan Wuping's withdrawal, but because Huo Guang's article deserves this first. No one dared to question Huo Guang's achievements.

The envoys of the Japanese mission were also convinced, although they hoped that Huan Wuping could win, but the fact was that the palindrome poem written by Huo Guang was impeccable, and Huan Wuping's automatic admission of defeat saved the face of the Japanese state.

Huo Guang tried his best to maintain his modest and introverted image in the admiration and praise of everyone, he really didn't take this competition too seriously, it was originally for Yu Pei.

Huo Guang only hopes that when Emperor Wu "awards" him, he will not take out the jade pendant directly in front of his eldest brother, it will be embarrassing, Huo Quzhi will definitely ask why the jade pendant given to him will run to the emperor, Huo Guang just doesn't want Huo Quzhi to know that he actually lost the jade pendant, and then happened to be picked up by the emperor, this kind of statement even he doesn't believe in himself.

Emperor Wu announced the results of the competition in front of everyone, Huo Guang won the first place in this Biwen Competition, and won the jade pendant and the mysterious award, but Emperor Wu did not award the award immediately, but ordered the minister of civil and military affairs and the embassy to retreat, leaving Huo Guang alone.

This is exactly what Huo Guang wants, others want to present awards in front of everyone, so that he can have face, but Huo Guang doesn't want it, when he saw Huo Quai's figure leaving, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Everyone has already retreated, and in the huge palace, there are only three people left, Emperor Wu, Huo Guang, and Liu Sheng. Of course, this can be seen, and you can see that there are 、、、, Lord Rong'an and Qiao'er behind the screen in front of the hall.

Qiao'er's little hands were cold, I don't know why, it was the first time she was so nervous, she lowered her voice, "County Lord, when can we go out and meet Huo Gongzi?" ”

"There's no hurry." Rong An pretended to be calm and said.

She wanted to rush out more than Qiao'er, but she couldn't yet, and she didn't rush to herself.

Qiao'er's little hand unconsciously grabbed Rong An's arm, because she was too nervous, she grabbed it tighter and tighter, "County Lord......"

"Shh Qiao'er's restlessness made Rong An very upset, and she said patiently, "Wait for Your Majesty to announce it." ”

......

Emperor Wu showed a rare kindness, his deep eyes were bottomless, and he looked at this handsome young man of His Royal Highness, and the liking in his heart increased a little.

Huo Guang peeked at Emperor Wu, and said in his heart, don't you just give me a piece of jade pendant, as for looking at me so affectionately, as if he was looking at his future son-in-law.

Emperor Wu didn't speak, and Huo Guang was not easy to speak, so he originally bowed his head slightly, but Emperor Wu looked at it for too long, Huo Guang's heart was horizontal, and he looked up directly at Emperor Wu.

Enough has been seen, it's time to give me my jade pendant, Huo Guang is waiting to take the jade pendant and leave.

Emperor Wu found that Huo Guang was not at a loss for what to do, but instead looked at him with his beautiful and clear eyes, and laughed, "Huo Guang, you are Huo Quai's younger brother, he is my nephew, and you are also my nephew." ”

Huo Guang was a little confused, why did Emperor Wu suddenly say such a sentence, but there was nothing wrong with this, Huo Guang arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty Xie raises love." ”

Emperor Wu hooked the corners of his mouth with satisfaction, and continued, "I am like a brother to the Marquis of Changming, her daughter is my daughter, and his son-in-law, that is, my son-in-law, I will hold a wedding for you according to the standard of the princess's marriage." ”

What's that? Wedding!

Huo Guang looked confused, his eyes widened, suspecting that he had heard it wrong, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you didn't understand what Huo Guang said." ”

Of course he didn't understand, because he thought that the reward for the Biwen Contest was only a jade pendant, because that jade pendant was the one given to him by Huo Quai, so Huo Guang would sign up for the competition.

Emperor Wu thought that Huo Guang was because he was shy, so he deliberately tactfully said that he didn't understand, and couldn't help but feel that Huo Guang was even more pleasing when he was shy, and glanced at Liu Sheng beside him.

Liu Sheng also thought so, and laughed out loud, "Your Majesty, look at it, Huo Duwei is actually shy." ”

Huo Guang was even more confused, shy and shy, my brother really didn't understand, so he almost said directly, quickly take out the jade pendant, my brother took the jade pendant and went home to make up for sleep, I got up too early in the morning, I was really sleepy.

Emperor Wu looked at Huo Guang with a blank expression, but he was not angry, and continued, "You won this competition, and you deserve the final reward and honor. ”

Do you want to give him the jade pendant? Huo Guang was ecstatic, nodded like a peck of rice, and finally gave him the jade pendant, which was great.

Huo Guang's expression of being dazed for a while, and happy for a while, was particularly funny in the eyes of Emperor Wu and Liu Sheng.

It seems that this stupid boy understands, then he can continue to talk, Emperor Wu spoke again, "I will order someone to set an auspicious day for you and Rong An to get married, and on the day of the wedding, it will be announced that Rong An will inherit the title, and you can govern the fiefdom of Beiguan together." ”

If Huo Guang could pretend not to understand just now, now there is no way to not understand, this is too obvious, because there is a name that he can't forget, Rong An!

Huo Guang only felt that his head was buzzing, and it was blank. ‘

Emperor Wu saw that Huo Guang was not in a hurry to answer, and continued, "Some old ministers are stubborn, and the hereditary title is related to the ancestral etiquette, and I am also weak, but you and Rong An can discuss everything, Rong An does not let women shave their eyebrows, but after all, she is a woman, and she can't escape the responsibility of her husband and children, if you don't bother me with many questions, I will pretend not to know, I have what I mean, do you understand?" ”

Emperor Wu has already made it very clear, that is, the fief belongs to your family, and the children are all the children of the two of you, how to deal with the affairs of your small family in the future, as long as it is not a husband and wife who come to Chang'an with discord, Emperor Wu will pretend not to know.

What a grace this is, when ordinary people hear Emperor Wu say this, they should kneel on the ground and thank him.

But Huo Guang was still stunned in place, his eyes didn't even blink, his expression was stiff, and the muscles of his cheeks twitched slightly.

Liu Sheng was anxious and urged, "Huo Duwei, thank you quickly." ”

Huo Guang was still immersed in his surprise and ignored Liu Sheng.

Emperor Wu's favor for Huo Guang was reflected at this time, he was not angry because Huo Guang was not grateful, on the contrary, he felt that Huo Guang might be overwhelmed because the favor he gave was too surprising to him, after all, Huo Guang was still so young.

The huge hall was silent, and Emperor Wu and Liu Sheng on the stage waited for Huo Guang to come out of the surprise.

But Huo Guang in the audience only had fright in his heart, and there was no trace of joy.

Huo Guang swallowed vigorously and said tentatively, "Your Majesty, isn't the prize of our competition a jade pendant engraved with the word Huo?" ”

Emperor Wu was stunned for a moment, "What jade pendant?" This competition is actually to recruit a son-in-law for Rong An. ”

Huo Guang only felt that a bolt of lightning struck his back, and his spine was cold.
