139. Age problems?
Huo Yunqian grinned in embarrassment, it is said that the elders should be responsible for adding makeup and the like, how can there be any reason to let Lu Qisi, a fox of the same generation as her, add makeup to her?
After flipping through the gift list again, Huo Yunqian immediately closed the booklet and returned it.
Eye pain.
Full nouveau riche feeling!
To put it mildly, Lu Mengchun reluctantly agreed to take the list back.
Huo Yunqian had no choice but to support his forehead, if he took these to marry to the Qin Palace, he was afraid that people would think that the Qin Palace's Mansion was bankrupt and needed to eat the relief food of the Weiguo Mansion.
At this point, the dowry list was determined, and Huo Yungui's aunt and sister-in-law just prepared according to this.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
I thought that the Queen Mother's words yesterday were just a joke, but when the Huo family had breakfast, Changle Palace sent someone over again, indicating that the Queen Mother was going to take the county lord of Ningsu into the palace.
The one who came to pick up the person was Aunt Shuangyue, who I saw yesterday, and this middle-aged woman with a kind face is really not easy to resist her.
Knowing that this female official was the empress dowager's confidant, Mrs. Feng specially prepared a small gift, and handed it to Aunt Shuangyue while Huo Yun was dressing up in a shallow manner, asking her to take good care of her daughter.
Aunt Frost Moon weighed the purse and only smiled and nodded, not revealing the slightest flaw.
On the way into the palace, Huo Yunqian and Aunt Shuangyue were in the same car, and Aunt Shuangyue said as if unintentionally: "The county lord is less than twenty years old now, but Ling Tang and Sister Ling look many years older than the county lord, I don't know why."
Huo Yunqian was alert in an instant, and still said quietly on his face: "Auntie, I don't know, my father died in the war nineteen years ago, and my mother was already pregnant at that time, so she endured grief and took great risks to give birth to me, it can be seen that my deceased father has a spirit, bless me safely."
Aunt Shuangyue's face showed surprise, and then she said apologetically: "It's the maid who is not good, and I talked about the sadness of the county lord."
"Auntie doesn't have to mind." Huo Yunqian smiled, "Although I have never seen my father's appearance, my mother and brothers and sisters take great care and care for me, and there is a third brother and son to inherit my father's business, I really feel extremely proud and proud to be born in such a family." β
The girl's eyes were clear, and the pride when she talked about her family was overflowing, which showed that her words were consistent with her deeds, so that Aunt Shuangyue nodded secretly with a look of approval.
When I arrived at the gate of Changle Palace, the sedan chair did not stop, and I turned a corner and walked to the side door.
If it weren't for seeing Aunt Shuangyue also walking with him, Huo Yunqian would really suspect that the Queen Mother was trying to plot against him.
In the backyard of this palace, it is really terrifying!
In the previous life, she came here as the crown princess, and finally fled at the cost of her life, and now she is back again, but not to make fish on the chopping board.
Soon the sedan chair brought the two to their destination, which turned out to be an exquisite garden, and from a distance, I saw the Empress Dowager Wen sitting in the pavilion in the garden, surrounded by two laughing little girls and a quiet girl.
And also sitting in the gazebo, there were two women, one was older and dignified, and the other was about the same age as the second sister-in-law Duan Wenxin, but between her eyebrows and eyes, she looked younger than Duan Wenxin.
Huo Yunqian followed Aunt Shuangyue forward, and when she walked to the front, she could see more clearly who these five people were-
Empress Yu and her daughter Princess Yufang, as well as Concubine Wu and her daughter Princess Danhua!
As for the gentle and demure girl, Huo Yunqian could only guess that it was the Zhenyang County Lord who was receiving "training" in the palace.
Huo Yunqian went over to greet them one by one, and finally his gaze passed lightly over Wu Guifei's face.
She clearly saw that when her eyes met, the expression on Wu Guifei's face became ugly, and her face even looked a little pale.
"Look, that's what makes it fun. Tell me, but that's it?" Empress Dowager Wen's mental state was just like when she first met her yesterday, but with Huo Yunqian's arrival, her interest was obviously higher.
Wu Guifei smiled reluctantly, did not speak, and lowered her head.
Empress Yu glanced at her lightly, and smiled at Empress Dowager Wen: "The concubine is still guessing, who is the noble guest that the queen mother is waiting for, it turns out to be the bride-to-be of the seventh brother, and the concubine is relieved."
Empress Dowager Wen's gaze shifted from Huo Yunqian's body to Empress Yu's side, and she coughed, her voice a little weak: "What, what else does the Empress have to worry about now?"
Although the tone was light, there seemed to be a faint sense of reproach in these words.
Queen Yu hurriedly waved her hand and said helplessly: "What is the Queen Mother talking about?" The concubine just looked at the youth of the county lord, it was really a generation of newcomers replacing the old, fortunately she didn't want to pick a concubine for Zhen'er, otherwise the concubine would not be able to hide her jealousy. β
Huo Yunqian raised his eyes and glanced at her suddenly.
Queen Yu looked back at her with a faint smile, her eyes were very innocent - the queen mother, who should be dignified and steady, would make such a playful expression?
Huo Yunqian retracted his gaze, lowered his eyes and did not answer.
It seems that Xu Zhen's thoughts about her even know Queen Yu.
But according to the general practice of protecting her mother's shortcomings, if Queen Yu had already known all this, she should not have allowed her relationship with Xu Hui to progress to this point?
The two princesses probed out of the crook of Empress Dowager Wen's arm, their eyes rolling around, and they all looked at Huo Yunqian curiously.
Empress Dowager Wen still said in a weak but unquestionable voice: "The crown prince is still young, besides, how can the crown princess be so easy to choose?" Queen, you have to know the importance of witticisms. β
This time, the smell of reproach is even heavier.
Queen Yu was secretly surprised, she thought that she had figured out the temperament of this mother-in-law who had not seen her for many years, and she couldn't imagine that this old pious woman was still so difficult to deal with.
"Yes, the Queen Mother has taught her a lesson." Empress Yu reluctantly agreed, and couldn't help but be annoyed that she was making a fool of herself in front of Concubine Wu, and raised her head and glanced at the other side quickly.
To her surprise, Wu Guifei, who had always not let go of any opportunity to fall into the well for her, seemed to be a little lost, and just looked absentmindedly in the direction of her daughter Princess Danhua.
Seeing that the queen was soft, Empress Dowager Wen seemed to be very satisfied, stroked the hair of her two granddaughters, and suddenly seemed to remember something, her right hand pointed to the girl sitting beside her, and said to Huo Yunqian: "Ah Qian, this is your fourth brother's daughter Zhenyang." β
Huo Yunqian seemed to have just discovered her, and happily greeted each other with the county lord of Zhenyang.
Queen Yu secretly sneered, this old pious woman really has a set of means to win people's hearts, obviously she hasn't passed the door yet, and even a "fourth brother" has spoken for this surnamed Huo.
Before Huo Yunqian and the others could say hello, Queen Yu smiled, "This palace remembers that I have seen the Geng posts of the two before, and they seem to be born in the same yearβbut so?" β
Only then did the Zhenyang County Lord take a serious look at Huo Yunqian, a little surprised.
Huo Yunqian said calmly: "The courtiers are indeed horses, born in the first month. β
