Chapter 15 I met Princess Ruoxi again
Huang Xu feels that Hong Xiuquan is not as simple as he thinks, what thoughts are hidden under his approachable appearance, no one may be able to see clearly, Huang Xu just has a faint feeling of being calculated, he feels that every step forward he is now one step closer to the pit that Hong Xiuquan dug for himself, and he feels a little bit of being played with in the palm of his hand, but he can't say what it feels like, he just feels that from the first time he met him to test himself, to being asked to write a detailed jihua, and then to today's coincidence here, Then a chessboard duel, losing to yourself, and then a knighthood. This step seems to be jihuahaode in advance, but it is seamless, it comes naturally, so that people can't find any flaws, maybe this is Hong Xiuquan's cleverness, or it may be that he is too careful, but no matter what, at least this also reminds himself that people's hearts are unpredictable, don't trust others too easily, and you need to be cautious everywhere. And from this, it can also be seen that the struggle between the government and the government is far more complicated than I imagined.
Come to think of it, since he has officially become the deputy commander of the forbidden palace and the senior minister, he must seek his own government in his position, not only to fight for himself, but also to make the faces of the people who recommend and appreciate him shine.
Huang Xu exhaled deeply, which was regarded as a complete release of his mood, and then walked into Hong Zhengyan's palace, because the people in Hong Zhengyan's palace already knew that the relationship between Huang Xu and the princess was very unusual, so they generally did not stop him when he came to the palace to find the princess, but they were all extremely polite to him, always smiling, smiling, and bowing. This time is no exception, Huang Xu has come all the way, and he is familiar with the road, unimpeded, and at the same time, he has already asked clearly when he first entered the door, Hong Zhengyan is in the palace at this time, and it is the right time. Thinking of Hong Zhengyan, the corners of Huang Xu's mouth couldn't help showing a knowing smile, I haven't seen this girl for a few days, I don't know what happened.
Walking to the door of Hong Zhengyan's living room, seeing Xiaoqing standing by the door waiting, Huang Xu smiled again, before Huang Xu could speak, Xiaoqing's face turned red again, and then said timidly: "Childe, if you want the slave to convey to the princess, the slave has already conveyed it, the princess is now meeting guests, is the son willing to wait a while and come again, or wait in the living room first." "This Xiaoqing is shy and shy, but what should be done and what should be said is handled quite decently, and people are also clever and clever, it should be said that in Hong Zhengyan's palace, she can also be regarded as another person in addition to Xiaoqian, otherwise she would not be the one with the highest exposure rate besides Xiaoqian.
"Oh, the princess is in the way, I'll just stand here and wait." Huang Xu smiled and said meaninglessly.
"Is Brother Huang here, Xiaoqing, please come in." Before Xiaoqing could reply, Hong Zhengyan's voice in the room had already come out.
"Childe, please." Xiaoqing lifted the curtain hanging at the door and invited Huang Xu in.
“xiexie。” After Huang Xu finished speaking, he regretted it a little again, and sure enough, Xiaoqing's face turned red again.
The moment Huang Xu stepped into Hong Zhengyan's living room, Huang Xu felt that something was wrong, maybe he came at a bad time, and Yan'er was really, knowing that she couldn't appear here in this situation, but she just called herself in at this time, wasn't this deliberately embarrassing herself? You guess Huang Xu weishenme thinks like this, what he sees here, then tell you, he saw a woman, and she is a very good-looking woman, if you talk about appearance alone, she is much better than Hong Zhengyan, and she is full of wild flavor, and has a unique style, but Huang Xu doesn't think so, he thinks about the narrow road of the enemy, how can he meet her here at this time so coincidentally. In this way, everyone should know who this woman is by now, yes, Hong Xiuquan's eldest daughter, Princess Ruoxi of the Celestial Empire, Hong Zhengyan's sibling sister, Hong Ruoyan. Huang Xu thinks about what happened last time, it is not all his fault, but he is also a princess, so if he gives himself such a deal, where will his face go, and then look back, since he met here, he can't run away, and besides, he didn't do anything wrong, so why be afraid of her. Thinking about it this way, Huang Xu also calmed down,
So, Huang Xu turned his head without fear, but unexpectedly saw a pair of eyes, Hong Ruoyan's eyes, these eyes gave him a surprisingly cold feeling, and the cold light that shot was at least minus 30 degrees, and it almost froze him.
"Yan'er, who is this girl, why does she seem to be very hostile to me." Huang Xu pretended not to know and asked Hong Zhengyan. Pretend not to know first, then talk about her.
"Yes, yes, yes, you see I forgot to introduce you." Hong Zhengyan seemed to have discussed with Huang Xu in advance, pointed at Huang Xu and said to Hong Ruoyan, "Sister, let me introduce you, this son, surnamed Huang, has a single name, is erudite and talented, and I am about to recommend it to my father." Because they didn't know Hong Xiuquan's attitude, Hong Zhengyan didn't reveal that they had already met Hong Xiuquan.
"Huang Gongzi, and this one is my own sister who loves me the most, Princess Ruoxi, I can't tell you my name." Hong Zhengyan said playfully. Then, as if to confirm her words, she got up and sat next to Hong Ruoyan, and held Hong Ruoyan's right arm affectionately with her left hand, and shook it gently.
After listening to Hong Zhengyan's introduction, Huang Xu was as humble as the smile on his face, and then bowed respectfully to Hong Ruoyan and said: "The last general, the new deputy commander of the Forbidden Palace of the Heavenly King Palace, and the political senior Huang Xu see Princess Ruoxi. ”
"Brother Huang, what did you just say, so my father has sent someone to pass on the decree to you, how many grades is the deputy commander of the Forbidden Palace, and what kind of official is the political minister" Hong Zhengyan didn't wait for Hong Ruoyan to speak, she rushed to say, there was a trace of disbelief in her words, and more of a joy that couldn't be concealed, she knew that she didn't misunderstand Huang Xu, and Huang Xu didn't let her down, and in addition to this joy, a hanging heart was also put down, she breathed a long sigh of relief, and at the same time couldn't help but complain a little about Hong Xiuquan, I didn't tell myself anything about such a big thing in advance, and I was worried in vain, but finally everything was sunny after the rain.
"Yan'er, Bixia said, the deputy commander of the Forbidden Palace belongs to the four-rank sword guard, this political affairs is the staff officer of the Heavenly King Palace." Huang Xu originally came to share this joy with Hong Zhengyan, but also to make her feel at ease, and now seeing that she is happier than she was rewarded, she can't help but feel a little moved in her heart, this girl can be regarded as well-intentioned.
"A fourth-grade petty official, a chaotic staff officer who is nothing, also gives you a big man, and you, Yan'er, what are you happy about, and it's not that you are rewarded as an official, what does it have to do with you." Next to her, Hong Ruoyan despised the official position Huang Xu obtained, and at the same time did not forget to teach her sister a lesson. However, I don't know if Hong Zhengyan, Hong Ruoyan's favorite sister, is here, or because Huang Xu is pretending to be extraordinarily humble today, although Hong Ruoyan's face is still very angry, it is a little better than just now, which can be heard from the tone of her voice.
"Yes, yes... Princess Ruoxi, you're right, it's the last general who is a little overjoyed. Huang Xu lowered his tone as low as possible, and Hong Zhengyan, who heard the reproach next to him, also obediently wiped Hong Ruoyan's arm with his cheek, obviously coquettish, these two people are really a waste of acting talent if they don't act.
"Don't think that the previous things will not be settled with you, you have to remember how you humiliated the palace, the palace is so big, you are the first person who dares to be so rude to the palace." Hong Ruoyan didn't say that it was okay, but the more she talked, the more angry she became.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, princess, I was in a bad mood that day, and I really didn't know that you were Princess Ruoxi, and I accidentally collided with your driver, and I am here to give you the guilt." This person, born under the eaves and had to bow her head, who called her both Hong Xiuquan's daughter and Hong Zhengyan's sister? Besides, he has just accepted Hong Xiuquan's official position, and it is appropriate to keep a low profile.
"You are still pretending, that time, when you were in the gazebo, didn't Xiaoqian say that I was the eldest princess next to you? You just pretended not to know, I think you are harboring evil intentions. Xiaoqian, you said you called me Celestia at the time, right? Hong Ruoyan was unforgiving.
"Eldest Princess, this time has passed too long, you see, these days, I am also busy and dizzy, so, whether I called the eldest princess that day, I really don't remember very clearly, I just remember whether I accompanied the princess, and then dragged Huang Gongzi back to our princess's dormitory." Xiao Qian deliberately tried to recall, and then said.
Xiao Qian is really interesting, originally Huang Xu was still blaming Xiao Qian, knowing that this Hong Ruoyan was here, he didn't look for a chance to talk to him, but now it seems that he misunderstood her, so he threw a grateful smile to Xiao Qian, Xiao Qian smiled and shook her head, meaning that there is no need to thank you.
"Xiaoqian, you can't turn your elbows out, you obviously called the eldest princess that day, how could you forget it as soon as you turned your head? You know that there is no good fruit to eat from lying to me? "Hong Ruoyan is not a fool.
Xiao Qian was also a little panicked when she saw Hong Ruoyan blaming, after all, she was a slave and a maid, and she was the master. At the moment of the dilemma, Hong Zhengyan spoke up: "Sister, Xiaoqian, she is a little girl, does she dare to lie to you?" Besides, even if Xiao Qian really called you the eldest princess, maybe Huang Gongzi didn't hear it, so the misunderstanding element accounted for the majority, so, sister, for my sake, this matter will end here, okay? "It's the same set again, shaking his arms and being coquettish. This is really Hong Zhengyan's killer feature.
Huang Xu couldn't help but think that Hong Zhengyan's hand was a little overwhelmed even by himself sometimes, how to talk about this motherly Hong Ruoyan.
"Okay, I'm afraid of you, little cutie, for Yan'er's sake, no matter whether Xiaoqian lied to me or not, this matter will be revealed, but you, Lord Deputy Commander, our business is not over." Hong Ruoyan pinched Hong Zhengyan's little face, patted it very dotingly, and said to Hong Zhengyan, and then turned her head and shouted to Huang Xu in another tone.
It's really the same life, and this princess is still endless. That being said, the princess said that she was not finished, and she could not finish it herself, otherwise, the little bit of the situation that had been built up with great difficulty might be destroyed. So, he replied more cautiously: "Princess, this matter is indeed wrong, I hope you have a large number of adults, and adults do not care about villains." "Huang Xu, the turtle grandson, may be home today.
"Then how do you say to solve it?" Hong Ruoyan seems to be unable to give up if she doesn't come up with an explanation today.
"If you want to beat and punish, listen to the princess, as long as the princess is angry." Huang Xu was out anyway.
"Words count." Hong Zhengyan is pressing step by step.
"A gentleman's word is a good horse." Huang Xu said.
"It seems that you are also a real man, then we will gamble, if you win, the previous things will be written off, but if you lose, what is behind, you may not be able to think of it, but I will tell you, how about it, dare to bet?" Hong Zhengyan spoke her mind.
God, how can this Hong family like to gamble with others, if you don't gamble, you can't live. But after all, since he has reached this point, there is no way back, so Huang Xu can only admit it, "Princess, what to bet on, how to bet?" ”
"I heard that you are both civil and military, Wen, I think my father and Yan'er have already passed the test nine times out of ten, so how about I come to test your martial arts now? You say, okay? "Hong Zhengyan is really ingenious.
"Sister, you...."Hong Zhengyan wanted to interject again.
"Okay, Yan'er, I haven't pursued the matter of you just deceiving me, you and Xiaoqian, and this Huang Xu play double reeds with each other, do you think I don't know, and also, didn't you say that you were going to recommend Huang Xu to your father, why is this official position sealed, don't say it again." Hong Ruoyan can't let her do it now, in fact, if only from this point of view, Hong Ruoyan is very similar to Hong Xiuquan, and it is impossible to change what she has decided.
"Okay, I promise, Yan'er, you don't have to argue anymore." Huang Xu also showed no weakness.
"It's refreshing enough, see you at the Forbidden Palace School in half an hour, I hope you don't disappoint me." After speaking, Hong Ruoyan ignored Hong Zhengyan's pleading gaze, turned around and went back to the palace to prepare.
"Brother Huang, now you are in a big trouble, my sister is a well-known number one master in the palace, you haven't figured anything out, how can you just promise her like this?" Hong Zhengyan didn't know whether to be anxious or angry. "Let's go, I'll go to her palace with you to find her, beg her, don't compare this martial arts."
"Yan'er, you don't have confidence in me like this." Huang Xu comforted.
"I ......" Hong Zhengyan didn't know how to say it.
"Trust you Brother Huang, okay?" gently patted Hong Zhengyan's shoulder, and then turned around and went back to prepare.
Hong Zhengyan saw that this was the case, so she could only sigh lightly and pray for God's blessing not to make any trouble.
