East Palace

Huo Sijin led Luo Qinglan to walk around the East Palace, Luo Qinglan seemed to be interested, and he was also very curious about the East Palace, and asked from time to time what was here and what was there, and Huo Sijin introduced them to her one by one.

The East Palace is very large, and after walking down, Huo Sijin and Luo Qinglan were a little tired, so they sat down in the pavilion to rest.

Luo Qinglan looked around, pouted and said, "This is a bigger place, and there are more kinds of flowers and plants, but in fact, there is nothing special." ”

Huo Sijin smiled, "The East Palace, like the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong, is a residence to live in, but the meaning it represents is different. ”

The East Palace is just a mansion, the difference is that the owner of the East Palace is the prince of a country.

Luo Qinglan raised his eyes to look at Huo Sijin, suddenly the corners of his lips were raised, and he said with a smile: "If you are someone else, I am afraid that it will be taboo to say that the county lord is a taboo, but there are few people like Huo Shizi, no wonder Brother Zheng values you so much." ”

"Huo Shizi, this friend of yours has been handed over by the county lord." As he spoke, Luo Qinglan saluted Huo Sijin with a fist.

Holding fists is the etiquette of the gate, Luo Qinglan was born in a family of military generals, and her gift contains full sincerity. Although Huo Sijin is a literati, he also replied to her with a fist, "The county lord is straightforward and bright, and it is Changjin's blessing to be friends with the county lord." ”

Luo Qinglan said with a smile: "Since we are friends, Huo Shizi will be called by the county lord and county lord, the grade is commensurate, I always feel that there is a gap, let's call each other by name in the future." ”

Huo Sijin had a hesitant look on his face, it was really inconvenient to match the woman's name, not to mention, this woman was also the county lord of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion.

Luo Zhengqing took his sister Luo Qinglan straight to the East Palace, and Huo Sijin naturally felt the deep meaning. Luo Qinglan is fourteen years old, it is a good time to get engaged, with the lintel of the Luo family, this county lady is just right with the prince Chu Zheng.

Chu Zheng and Luo Zhengqing talked privately, and they were afraid that it was this matter that they were talking about.

If this marriage is completed, then Luo Qinglan will be the mistress of the East Palace in the future, and she Huo Sijin is a "foreign man", how can she call the crown princess by name.

No, it's definitely not going to work.

Huo Sijin wouldn't say it explicitly, after all, these were just her guesses at the moment, and Chu Zheng hadn't announced it in person, so she couldn't announce the matter.

She changed her approach and explained: "County Lord, Changjin is a man, so it is inconvenient to call the county lord by his name, if it is heard, the reputation of the county lord will be damaged." Then again, if you are really a friend, you don't have to care about the name, what does the county lord think? "It doesn't matter if it's called by grade, or by its name, it's just a name.

Luo Qinglan tugged at the corners of his mouth and spread his hands helplessly, "There are so many rules in the capital, you have to avoid even calling a name." It's still good at the border, and it's free. Huo Shizi, if you have a chance in the future, you must come to the border to have a look, and you don't want to leave if you go. ”

Huo Sijin was about to say that he would definitely go if he had the opportunity, when Luo Zhengqing's voice came from his ears, "Lan'er, what are you talking about with Huo Shizi, your eyebrows are dancing." ”

Luo Zhengqing strode into the pavilion and smiled at Huo Sijin: "There is a son of Lao Huo, the sister is stubborn, and she has caused trouble to the prince." ”

Huo Sijin hurriedly shook his head, "Where is it, the little marquis is polite." ”

"Brother, where am I being stubborn." Luo Qinglan tugged Luo Zhengqing's arm, and his small mouth was pursed high.

Luo Zhengqing nodded her eyebrows, "I don't know you yet, on the way here, you kept shouting to see what the East Palace looked like, have you been pestering Huo Shizi to ask this and that?" ”

was really said by Luo Zhengqing, Luo Qinglan was speechless for a while, and stuck out his tongue, "I'm just curious." ”

Luo Zhengqing shook his head and chuckled, then turned his head and said to Huo Sijin: "Huo Shizi, I think you can also see that my sister has a straightforward temperament, and to put it more seriously, she has to trouble Huo Shizi a lot during this time, be careful to remind her, lest she say the wrong thing." ”

Huo Sijin smiled lightly, "The little marquis is serious. ”

She doesn't have this qualification, mention Luo Qinglan. The news that Luo Zhengqing's brothers and sisters came to the capital will not be able to hide it sooner or later, Luo Qinglan, a fourteen-year-old woman, is not suitable for living in the East Palace.

However, things were unexpected by Huo Sijin. Chu Zheng took Luo Zhengqing's brother and sister into the palace to face the saint, and an hour later, the three of them came out of the imperial study, and then returned to the East Palace again.

Luo Zhengqing told the emperor that in a few days, the eldest princess of Yi'an will arrive in the capital, and as juniors, they can't afford the emperor to set up a dust-washing banquet for them, so it is better to wait for the eldest princess of Yi'an to come. As for their brother and sister, they are all coming to the capital for the first time, and they are not familiar with the place, so they know Chu Zheng, so let them live in the East Palace for the time being.

Whether it is the eldest princess of Yi'an or the Luo family, there is no mansion in the capital, and the emperor does not arrange for them to live outside casually, but he did not agree to let them live in the East Palace, so he proposed to let them live in the palace.

And Luo Qinglan didn't follow it, saying that there were too many rules in the palace, and she was really not used to it, so she asked His Majesty the Emperor to let her live in the East Palace.

The emperor can refute Luo Zhengqing, but Luo Qinglan is a little girl, and she has a look of asking with a blank eye, in the end, it is the girl of the Luo family, the Luo family has shed countless blood for Nanchu, if you don't even have this little request, it seems a little unkind. The emperor thought about it, and finally nodded.

So, the brothers and sisters of the Luo family lived in the East Palace in the name of justice.

The Luo brothers and sisters and Chu Zheng are old acquaintances, and most of the people around Chu Zheng also know each other. Luo Zhengqing was busy catching up with Chu Zheng and the Zheng brothers beside him, and he didn't have much interest in other things in the capital, but Luo Qinglan was different, she wanted to go to the streets and alleys of the capital to take a look.

In this way, Luo Zhengqing entrusted this matter to Huo Sijin, and specially instructed that Chu Zheng had official business to be busy, and he was busy catching up with the old days, so he had no time to take care of Luo Qinglan, so he could only trouble Huo Sijin.

Luo Zhengqing asked again and again, and said that Huo Sijin was a local in the capital, and he knew the whole capital better than the others in the East Palace, and no one was more suitable than Huo Sijin.

When it comes to this, Huo Sijin is not easy to refuse, who said that now it seems that she is the most idle in the East Palace.

The next day, Huo Sijin took Luo Qinglan to go shopping in the streets and alleys.

"Is there a place the county lord would like to go in particular?" The capital is so big, Huo Sijin can't take Luo Qinglan to every place.

Luo Qinglan touched his chin, thought for a moment, but shook his head and said, "For a while, I don't have any particular places I want to go." Well...... That's it, Huo Shizi, the place where the ladies in the capital often go, you can take me to see it first. ”

The places that women often go to are nothing more than rouge shops, jewelry shops, or teahouses and restaurants.

Huo Sijin walked quickly in his mind, and then said: "Then I'll take the county lord to see the rouge jewelry first, and if the county lord feels tired, he will have dinner and tea." But seeing that Luo Qinglan is dressed elegantly, not very gorgeous, the beads on her head are also simple, and the pink delicacy is also light, she may not like rouge jewelry, but it should still be okay to eat refreshments.

Luo Qinglan's eyebrows were crooked, and he nodded with a smile, "Okay, listen to the world." ”

Facts have proved that Huo Sijin guessed correctly, Luo Qinglan was indeed not interested in the rouge shop that his ordinary daughter's family liked, and after reading a few boxes of rouge balm, he was not interested.

Looking at the rouge shop, Mrs. and Miss had countless contacts, Luo Qinglan's eyes drooped slightly, and he looked tired, he was really bored.

Just after looking at the two rouge shops, Luo Qinglan was interested, if she went to see the jewelry and costumes again, I was afraid that she might not be interested, it happened that there was Zuixiang Building not far away, Huo Sijin proposed, "It's better to go to Zuixiang Building to sit first, you can use refreshments, sit on Zuixiang Building, and you can also take in the style of the whole street." ”

When he heard Zuixianglou, Luo Qinglan's eyes lit up, "Zuixianglou, I've heard of this, my grandmother said that this drunken duck and rose crisp are very famous." ”

It just so happened that Luo Qinglan was also interested, so it couldn't be better. Huo Sijin took the joyful Luo Qinglan and immediately went to the drunken incense building at the opposite door.

Stepping into the door of Zuixiang Building, a shopkeeper immediately came up to greet him, "Childe, Miss inside, please." ”

"Little Er, arrange a private room by the window upstairs."

Huo Sijin was instructing Xiao Er, and a strange voice of yin and yang came from his ears, "Yo, this is not the eldest son of the Huo family!" ”

Huo Sijin had heard this voice before, although it was not familiar, but she had always had an excellent memory, and she knew who it was just by listening to the voice.
