Section 167 Chapter 167 The Eccentric Li Wenhao

The sky has gradually darkened, but the Guogong Mansion is brilliantly lit, and Lu Xiang'er, Lu Hong, and Chaoxia look at the people opposite, but they can also see the side clearly. Under Wen Yao's whispered introduction, the three of them met His Majesty Zhao Changyuan, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, for the first time.

Looking from the side, Zhao Changyuan is tall, his body is straight, and he walks calmly, not a little old. And from his somewhat pale temples, some traces of time can still be seen. However, Zhao Changyuan's appearance is much younger than his actual age.

After Zhao Changyuan got out of the carriage, he did not immediately enter the Guogong Mansion, but stood beside the carriage and waited for a noble lady to get out of the carriage, and the two of them walked into the Guogong Mansion side by side. That noble lady is Concubine Song, Song Beiqiao's niece, Mrs. Wen's sister, and Wen Yao's aunt. Concubine Song and Mrs. Wen have four or five points of imagination, but they have a luxurious atmosphere that Mrs. Wen does not have. Compared with Mrs. Wen's introvertedness, Concubine Song has a more weak temperament.

Speaking of which, Concubine Song and Mrs. Wen are sisters, and they are both daughters of Song Beiqiao's brother. But because Song Beiqiao's brother died on the battlefield in the early years, and his brother-in-law died even earlier, the two sisters only have a close relative like Song Beiqiao. Every month, the two sisters would come to the Guogong Mansion to visit Song Beiqiao. And sometimes, His Majesty the Emperor will follow Concubine Song together.

Behind Zhao Changyuan and Concubine Song were two pairs of men and women, both of whom were handsome men and pretty women. The pair of men and women walking in front are Zhao Shuping, the eldest princess of Concubine Song, and Li Wenjie, the attached horse. The eldest princess looks like Zhao Changyuan, but she has the elegance of Concubine Song. The horse Zhao Wenjie is burly, much like a person who practices martial arts. However, when he looked at the eldest princess, there was a warmth in his eyes.

The latter pair of men and women are the third prince Zhao Chengru and his concubine. Zhao Chengru is really as good as his name, with a strong bookish atmosphere, much like a scholar who reads poetry and books. And the three princesses are very similar to men in temperament. It can be seen that the two are very compatible, believe that they live together, and they also have a common language.

Seeing the group enter the Guogong Mansion, Lu Xiang'er was puzzled, so she asked Wen Yao: "Sister Yao'er, when His Majesty the Emperor came to the Guogong Mansion in the past, would he also bring the eldest princess and His Royal Highness the Third Prince?" ”

"No, you probably don't know." Wen Yao saw that Lu Hong also turned his head, so he said softly: "Since the eldest princess married the concubine, she went to the frontier and lived in the palace of the Zhongyong King. Because of the long distance, the eldest princess has only come back once since she got married. Recently, King Zhongyong asked to return to Beijing for retirement, and the eldest princess came back with him. Come to think of it, today is also the mother who wants the eldest princess to come to meet the old man. ”

"'King Loyalty'?! But that 'loyal and brave king' who has been guarding the frontier and repelling foreign invasions many times? Lu Hong's face was a little excited, so he asked Wen Yao.

Wen Yao didn't expect Lu Hong to know about King Zhongyong, so he nodded and said, "Gongzi Lu didn't guess wrong, it is indeed the 'King of Loyalty and Bravery'." The Zhongyong Wang's family is loyal and brave, and now his two sons are still guarding the frontier, protecting the stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The eldest princess's concubine is the eldest son of General Li Feng, and Li Wenhao, the son of General Li Luo, is participating in the martial arts like you. ”

"Li Wenhao?" Lu Hong was slightly stunned, and then as if he remembered something, he nodded and said: "Oh, it turns out that he is the son of the Zhongyong Palace, no wonder, no wonder ......"

"Hey, I said who knew me, it turned out to be you." Before Lu Hong's words fell, a voice came from behind the carriage.

Lu Hong and the three little ladies in the car were all startled, and hurriedly looked back. I saw Huo Qingsong, who was dressed in armor, and a heroic son, slowly walked over. Seeing that son, Lu Hong immediately jumped out of the car, hugged his fist and said with a smile: "Li Gongzi is strong in martial arts, Lu Hong has always admired it in his heart, but he didn't expect Li Gongzi's family history to hide it." ”

"I'm not the only one who is 'hidden'." Li Wenhao laughed, followed Huo Qingsong to the front of the carriage, and saluted the three people in the carriage.

But when he saw the faces of Lu Xianger and Chaoxia, Li Wenhao was stunned. And Lu Xiang'er didn't notice it, but a hint of discoloration flashed in Chaoxia's eyes. Of course, Chaoxia concealed it well, and no one noticed the look in her eyes. But Li Wenhao also reacted quickly, quickly straightened up, and returned to Huo Qingsong's side as if nothing happened. However, he lowered his head slightly, as if thinking about something.

Huo Qingsong glanced at Li Wenhao quickly, his eyes turned, and he said in a deep voice: "Brother Hong, I'll take you out, come with me." ”

"Thank you, Big Brother Huo." Lu Hong gave Xiao Wu a look, and then walked on the other side of Huo Qingsong.

Huo Qingsong nodded and walked ahead. And when the curtain of the carriage was lowered, he glanced at Lu Xiang'er. It wasn't until the curtain fell that Huo Qingsong withdrew his gaze, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. Because Lu Xiang'er seemed to be blushing under his gaze just now.

In the carriage, Chaoxia frowned, and swept towards Li Wenhao outside from time to time, also thinking about something. And Wen Yao, who saw Huo Qingsong's eyes, stared at Lu Xiang'er with great interest. Until Lu Xiang'er was looked at herself, she suppressed her voice and said, "Sister Yao'er, why am I looking at me like this?" ”

"Xiang'er, I see that you don't seem to have a little affection for General Huo." Wen Yao also tried her best to keep her voice low so that the three people outside could hear it: "At the beginning, why didn't you agree?" ”

When Lu Xiang'er heard Wen Yao's question, her eyes were full of complicated looks, and she said, "He's a general, I'm just a little wine lady, and ...... Okay, Sister Yao'er, don't ask again. ”

"Well, I won't ask. Still, I'll say one thing. Not to mention the Jingshi, it is the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, and there are many little ladies who want to marry General Huo. Wen Yao has also encountered it, and she wants to catch up with Huo Qingsong's little ladies through her.

"I know, you're really trying to talk about Princess Jingrou." When Lu Xiang'er thought of that princess, a sense of disgust rose in her heart. Sometimes, Lu Xiang'er would think that if Princess Jingrou made trouble for her again, she would really marry Huo Qingsong and kill Princess Jingrou according to Princess Jingrou's imagination.

Wen Yao looked at Lu Xiang'er and sighed secretly. She didn't know what Lu Xiang'er was hesitating, and she didn't understand how Lu Xiang'er could refuse Huo Qingsong. In fact, if she didn't like Huo Qingsong, who was always cold-faced, Wen Yao might have married Huo Qingsong after the meeting. However, few people knew about this matter, even Huo Qingsong didn't know, and Wen Yao didn't plan to say it.

The carriage was quiet again, but there was the sound of conversation outside the carriage. Of course, the voices of the conversation were Lu Hong and Li Wenhao, and although Huo Qingsong could interject a few words, it was limited. Lu Hong and Li Wenhao did not know each other when they took the literary examination, but they were ranked together by lottery during the martial arts examination. Although the two did not speak, when they saw each other's performance, they both remembered each other.

At this time, Lu Hong knew that Li Wenhao was the grandson of King Zhongyong, so he wanted to get to know him. Lu Hong had only heard that King Zhongyong was one of the four kings before, but he did not participate in the 'Rebellion of King Chen'. Later, among the books that Huo Qingsong and Song Yuan found him, Lu Hong had a deep understanding of King Zhongyong, and thus admired this loyal and brave palace very much.

When Li Wenhao was in the martial arts examination, he also saw that Lu Hong was hiding his strength and became interested in him. And after he saw Chaoxia, Li Wenhao took the initiative to talk to Lu Hong with certain goals. I don't know what is going on with Li Wenhao, I always ask about the people in Lu Hong's family, especially Lu Xianger and Chaoxia. Lu Hong noticed Li Wenhao's purpose, and he was very puzzled in his heart, so he raised a lot of vigilance, so he picked up the less important ones and told him. It may be that Lu Hong is more wary, and Li Wenhao quickly noticed it, so he changed the topic.

Huo Qingsong grabbed Li Wenhao at this time and said to Lu Hong: "Brother Hong, there is no Yulinwei in front, you can go back." ”

"Got it, Brother Huo." Lu Hong nodded, hugged his fists to Huo Qingsong, and then got into the carriage and left here.

When Lu Hong's carriage was far away, and Li Wenhao was about to go in the other direction, Huo Qingsong grabbed him and said with an expressionless face: "What is your purpose?" ”

"Brother Huo, what are you talking about, why are you headless and brainless." Li Wenhao laughed a few times, and wanted to break free from Huo Qingsong's hand. It's a pity that Huo Qingsong has never been a good talker. He just grabbed Li Wenhao's hand so hard and stared straight at him.

Li Wenhao knew Huo Qingsong's personality from Li Wenjie, and said with some hair in his heart: "Brother Huo, the younger brother just looks a little familiar with the little lady named Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia, but the younger brother has no malice. Brother Huo, if the younger brother dares to lie to you, let my grandfather train the younger brother. ”

Huo Qingsong was reminded by Li Wenhao, and only then did he remember that he was the grandson of King Zhongyong. With the character of a loyal and brave king, if someone in the family does evil, he will definitely kill his relatives in righteousness. With such a grandfather, Li Wenhao probably didn't dare to have any bad intentions.

For Lu Xiang'er, Huo Qingsong is not worried, because he is there. What made him embarrassed was Chaoxia, who was involved with the four princes. Huo Qingsong also knew the thoughts of the four princes towards Chaoxia. From Huo Qingqing, Huo Qingsong also knew what Chaoxia meant. The four princes are no better than Huo Qingsong, and it is a little difficult for them to enter the mansion of the four princes as Chaoxia. If the two of them continue like this, nothing good will come of it.

Huo Qingsong groaned slightly, then let go of Li Wenhao and said, "Wenhao, your excuse for wanting to hook up with the little lady is not clever. I can tell you, stay away from that Lu Xiang'er. And Chaoxia's martial arts are not under me, you have to be prepared if you want to provoke her. ”

"Oh?" Li Wenhao didn't know that Huo Qingsong said this on purpose, and his eyes immediately lit up.

Although Li Wenhao didn't say anything, Huo Qingsong saw that Li Wenhao would soon go to the Lu family. Looking at Li Wenhao who was far away, Huo Qingsong really hoped that Chaoxia would take a fancy to him, so that the four princes would break their minds as soon as possible.
