Chapter 65: The Princess's Thoughts
It was already noon when I returned from Maoling to Beique Jiadi, and it was the time for the princess's mansion to eat, and Huo Guang was not easy to visit, so he simply ate something in the Hou mansion and waited patiently for an hour and a half. Huo Guang estimated that Princess Pingyang also got up from a nap at this time, so he came to the princess's mansion alone.
Because the two mansions are in Jiadi, it is only a few steps from the Champion Hou Mansion to Pingyang Mansion, so Huo Guang did not bring others. And to visit Princess Pingyang, Zhen Youcai's identity can't go, so he is the only one.
"Please inform Her Royal Highness the princess, just say that Huo Guang has something to ask to see!" Huo Guang said to the guards of Princess Pingyang's mansion, this guard had also seen Huo Guang brought back by Princess Pingyang last time, so he also said politely to Huo Guang: "Son, please wait a while, the last general will go to pass it on." ”
Huo Guang stood at the door and didn't wait long before he heard Li Yan's voice from afar in the mansion: "Ah Guang, you are finally back, how do you know that I am in the princess's mansion?" Today, I heard from the princess that you have returned to Chang'an with Your Majesty, and I thought that I would go to you later! ”
Li Yan trotted and said, looking very happy, if it weren't for the fact that there were other people here, she would have jumped into Huo Guang's arms when she saw that posture!
"Yan'er, you're really here. I went to Maoling in the morning, and I heard Aunt Sima say that you may be at the princess's place, so I will come here. Huo Guang found out that it had only been a month since he saw him, and Li Yan had already changed a lot. Although Li Yan was also beautiful and lovely in the past, after all, she was born in an ordinary family, and she was less elegant, but in just one month, Huo Guang felt that Li Yan was even more beautiful, and this beauty also had the temptation of men's instincts, if you use one word to describe it, it is 'stunner'!
"Ah Guang, come in with me to see the princess!" Li Yan naturally dragged Huo Guang's arm and walked into the mansion. And the guards on the side didn't say anything, it seemed that when the guards reported just now, Li Yan happened to be next to Princess Pingyang, and then she ran out impatiently to see Huo Guang.
"Yan'er, I heard that you often live in the princess's mansion, what's going on?" Huo Guang is now concerned about whether Princess Pingyang has already hit Li Yan with her idea, but he can't ask too directly, so he can only knock on the side.
"Ah Guang, you forgot, Her Royal Highness the Princess came to see you when you were injured that day, and I met Her Royal Highness the Princess that time. Later, for some reason, the princess met my second brother in the palace, and then the princess knew that we were brother and sister, so she often let our brother and sister come to the house to perform. Sometimes the princess will keep me in the house, and the princess is very good to me! ”
Li Yan said while holding Huo Guang's arm, it can be seen that Li Yan really respects Princess Pingyang now. And Huo Guang estimated that the reason why Li Yan had these changes must have been trained by Princess Pingyang, which should be in preparation for the dedication to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but the only thing that relieved Huo Guang was that it seemed that Princess Pingyang had not told Li Yan her intentions.
"The princess knows about my relationship with Yan'er, maybe the princess is also waiting for me to come back, it seems that I have to let the princess dispel this idea no matter what." Huo Guang thought to himself that Princess Pingyang hadn't said this for a long time, and it was likely that she was also waiting for herself, maybe Princess Pingyang still wanted Huo Guang to use Li Yan by herself.
The so-called music hall is the place where the musicians and dancers in Princess Pingyang's mansion practice, and Princess Pingyang often comes here to listen to and take a look, which will naturally become the place where Li Yannian's brother and sister perform for Princess Pingyang.
Li Yan walked all the way with Huo Guang, and it could be seen that Li Yan was already very familiar with Princess Pingyang's mansion, and even some subordinates in the mansion would take the initiative to greet her when they saw Li Yan. At this time, Huo Guang also realized that distance is the biggest obstacle to feelings, although Li Yan has not changed her mind about Huo Guang now, but what if Princess Pingyang is replaced by other princes? If Li Yan had been with a man for so long, then Huo Guang would really regret it too late!
"It seems that I have to find a way to keep Li Yan by my side, and now I still have a mansion of my own!" Huo Guang secretly warned himself in his heart that he knew that he could only really feel at ease when he let Li Yan become the mistress of his mansion. Some people may think that this is a selfish behavior, but feelings are inherently selfish, which also shows that Huo Guang has true feelings for Li Yan.
In the music hall, Li Yannian was ringing a set of chimes, and Princess Pingyang was sitting lazily in the distance with her eyes slightly closed, and she didn't know if she was listening to the sound of the compilation or thinking about something?
"Chen Huoguang greets Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Huo Guang walked into the music hall and stood at the door to salute Princess Pingyang.
"Oh, Ah Guang is here! Come and sit down here, and you can also take a look at the newly choreographed dance of the Yan'er siblings. Princess Pingyang looked up at Huo Guang with a kind smile on her face, and pointed to a position beside her.
"Thank you, princess." Huo Guang walked to Princess Pingyang and sat down there. Huo Guang felt that Princess Pingyang was also a little strange today, it stands to reason that she hadn't seen her for so long, Princess Pingyang should ask something first, even if it was just a casual conversation. But as soon as she came, she let her watch the newly choreographed dance, and it seemed that Princess Pingyang's real intention was here.
Li Yan stood in front of Princess Pingyang and Huo Guang, glanced at Huo Guang tenderly and sweetly, and then turned her back to the past, raising her sleeves just to cover her face, and at this moment Li Yannian rang the bell again.
Huo Guang looked at Li Yan attentively, he didn't know what was the mystery in this dance music. Huo Guang found that after the dance began, Li Yan still had her back to herself and the princess, as if she was still holding the pipa and half covering her face. But at this moment, a melodious and tactful voice suddenly came out of Li Yannian's mouth.
"There are beautiful women in the north, peerless and independent. One look at the city, and then look at the country. Rather than know the city and the country? It's hard to get a beautiful woman! Li Yannian's voice was tactful, and Li Yan's dancing was beautiful and moving, but when this lyric fell on Huo Guang's ears, it was like a burst of thunder.
When Li Yannian finally sang 'Beauty is Rare', Li Yancai finally turned around, and then her sleeves fell, revealing a peerless face, at this moment even Huo Guang felt that this song and Li Yan simply complemented each other.
"How's Guang going? Seeing that you are stunned, do you think Yan'er is the peerless beauty? Princess Pingyang's voice sounded in Huo Guang's ears, with a slight ridicule.
"Who wrote this song?" Huo Guang knew that something was wrong, as soon as this beauty song appeared, it meant that Li Yan was not far from entering the palace.
"It's exactly what Brother Yan'er did! Ah Guang, you said that if they let their brothers and sisters perform this dance in front of His Majesty, will His Majesty like it? Princess Pingyang said.
"Princess...... This ......" Huo Guang's heart sank, and he looked at Princess Pingyang with an embarrassed face. Only Huo Guang understood the intention of Princess Pingyang's words, and Li Yannian and Li Yan thought that this was the main cultivation of Princess Pingyang, and the two of them were still happy.
"I have something to say to Ah Guang, Yan'er, you go out first!" Princess Pingyang told Li Yan's brothers and sisters to go out and wait, she also knew that Huo Guang and Li Yan had an unusual relationship, although she intended to dedicate Li Yan to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but she still had to discuss it with Huo Guang.
Li Yan glanced at Huo Guang, and walked out with Li Yannian. Princess Pingyang couldn't help but ridicule when she saw Li Yan's expression: "This girl can't wait for a while, I won't eat your Huo Lang!" ”
Princess Pingyang said this, even Huo Guang was a little embarrassed, and Li Yan was even more ashamed and ran out quickly. After the two left, only Princess Pingyang and Huo Guang were left in the music hall, and Huo Guang knew that it must be the time for Princess Pingyang to get to the point.
Sure enough, the first thing Princess Pingyang said was: "Ah Guang, what do you think of dedicating Yan'er to Your Majesty?" With Yan'er's relationship with you, once Yan'er is favored, she will definitely stand on our side, which is not only good for Wei Huo, but also a big help for you personally in the future. ”
It's so straightforward...... Huo Guang's feeling is that Princess Pingyang is too direct, and even Huo Guang is a little angry in his heart, wanting to send his woman out, no matter what the purpose, no one can not be angry.
"Is that what the princess meant, or is that what everyone meant?" Huo Guang asked in a deep voice, his so-called everyone was naturally the entire Wei Huo Waiqi group.
"At the moment, they don't know, after all, Yan'er likes you, and I can see that you are also interested in Yan'er. So I'll talk to you first, because if you come and tell Yeon'a, this will be the most perfect! Princess Pingyang said calmly, but at this time she didn't have a smile on her face.
"Hehe, the princess is really good at picking people! Does the princess think that a normal man would give his beloved woman to someone else? Huo Guang asked Princess Pingyang with some amusement, and there was a taste of anger and laughter.
"You're right, but are you willing to be just an ordinary person? Ah Guang have you thought about it, with Yan'er's feelings for you, once he gets His Majesty's favor, with Li Yan's help inside and Wei Huo's support outside, your future will be limitless, and it may even surpass your brother in a few years. Princess Pingyang was not angry, but analyzed Huo Guang seriously.
Huo Guang also had to admit Princess Pingyang's analysis, and even the beautiful blueprint she depicted was very likely. However, Huo Guang's soul is no longer the original Huo Guang, he will never betray his woman because of his future, no matter how good the prospect is!
"Princess, do you think that I, Huo Guang, am a person who will sell his woman for the sake of his future?" Huo Guang asked rhetorically, but he hadn't shown obvious anger yet. Because Huo Guang knows that it is useless to solve the problem by being angry and excited, especially this matter is really only a good talk about with Princess Pingyang, with Huo Guang's current status, if Princess Pingyang is determined to sacrifice Li Yan, Huo Guang can't stop it at all, even if he moves out of Huo Quai, but there is a big gap between people's concepts in this era and later generations. Huo Quzhi does not necessarily agree with Huo Guang, for a person who is not his wife, I am afraid that even Huo Quzhi, the brother, will not help him.
Huo Guang thinks that the bell still needs to be tied to the bell, but fortunately, the situation has not expanded yet, as long as Princess Pingyang is dealt with, there is still room for this matter to turn around.
