188 Chapter 188 You can trust me

Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong arrived at home, and Song Yuan was also too drunk. Hearing the questions on Lu Hongwen's exam paper, Song Yuan was overjoyed, and asked Lu Xiang'er to take out a jar of wine and prepare to drink with Lu Hong at night.

"Erniang, you can't stop me from this jar of wine. I dare to guarantee that with the results of Brother Hong's literary examination, he will definitely be able to 're-enter the palace' in the end." Song Yuan knew that Lu Erniang didn't like to drink excessively, but this time he had a good reason, and he wasn't afraid that Lu Erniang would be angry.

Lu Erniang was still a little unconvinced when she heard Song Yuan's explanation, and nodded only after getting Lu Hong's affirmation. This made Song Yuan touch his nose and sit back in the living room speechlessly waiting for dinner. Lu Xiang'er, Chaoxia, and Huo Qingqing, who were sitting on the side, wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and diverted their attention by talking about inconsequential topics. Song Yuan saw the faces of the three of them, but he smiled indifferently, and talked to Lu Hong about the martial arts examination in three days. And at this moment, Huo Qingsong came.

Hearing that Huo Qingsong was coming, Lu Xiang'er, who was smiling, immediately lost her smile. She remembered what Huo Qingqing said when she came out of the palace, and since Huo Qingsong said that, he wanted to give her an explanation at night. Huo Qingsong came, which meant that Lu Xiang'er could know what he meant.

Somehow, Lu Xiang'er suddenly became a little nervous. In Lu Xiang'er's heart, she was actually looking forward to Huo Qingsong saying the result she wanted in person. But before Huo Qingsong said it, Lu Xiang'er was not sure what Huo Qingsong was thinking.

Besides, when Huo Qingsong entered the house, he quickly swept around. found that except for Lu Erniang, Song Yuan and several others were sitting in the living room, so he walked directly to Song Yuan's side and sat down. For Lu Xiang'er, Huo Qingsong only glanced at it, and did not express any meaning, which made Chaoxia and Huo Qingqing anxious.

Chaoxia was worried about Lu Xiang'er, afraid that Huo Qingsong would wronged her, and Huo Qingqing was also afraid that Lu Xiang'er would be unhappy to lose this sister-in-law if Huo Qingsong provoked her. However, Chaoxia and Huo Qingqing were not easy to say directly, after all, Lu Xiang'er didn't want Lu Erniang to know about this matter and worry about herself.

When sitting around the table to eat, Lu Xiang'er and the others also avoided this topic and pretended to be the way they usually got along. Lu Erniang and Song Yuan really didn't notice anything, and they were very happy to celebrate today's palace examination for Lu Hong. After eating, it was not early, and Song Yuan and Lu Erniang returned to the mansion. Huo Qingsong had an excuse to talk to Lu Hong more, and did not take Huo Qingqing back with Song Yuan and Lu Erniang. Lu Erniang and Song Yuan thought that Huo Qingsong wanted to spend more time with Lu Xiang'er, but they didn't care.

After sending Song Yuan and Lu Erniang away, Lu Hong took advantage of drinking too much and went back to his yard to rest. Huo Qingqing took advantage of the 'ice lantern' to see Chaoxia, and also dragged Chaoxia to the West Cross Courtyard. In the living room of the main house, only Lu Xiang'er and Huo Qingsong remained.

The two sat opposite each other, neither of them speaking first. Lu Xiang'er was waiting for Huo Qingsong to take the initiative to express his position, but Huo Qingsong was thinking about how to speak in his heart. It wasn't until a quarter of an hour had passed that Huo Qingsong moved slightly, raised his head and looked at Lu Xiang'er. Feeling Huo Qingsong's gaze, Lu Xiang'er tightened her heart and lifted her spirits.

"Xiang'er, can you trust me?" While Huo Qingsong was talking, he got up and walked to Lu Xiang'er's side and sat down, and held Lu Xiang'er's hand.

Speaking of which, since Huo Qingsong and Lu Xiang'er made a marriage, it was the first time that Huo Qingsong took the initiative to hold Lu Xiang'er's hand so actively. And Lu Xiang'er obviously didn't expect Huo Qingsong's actions, and two red clouds immediately floated on her face. Although Lu Xiang'er wanted to break free from Huo Qingsong's intimate contact, Huo Qingsong refused to let go.

Lu Xiang'er was a little upset for a while, but she didn't say a word. Seeing this, Huo Qingsong said again: "Xiang'er, can you trust me this time." ”

"If you want to know what I want, answer one of my questions." Lu Xiang'er slowly got used to Huo Qingsong's warm hands, and her brain gradually cleared. Huo Qingsong replied to Lu Xiang'er, nodded without hesitation, and waited for her question.

When Lu Xiang'er saw Huo Qingsong's demeanor, she said softly: "To be honest, have you ever thought about three wives and four concubines?" ”

"Nope." As soon as Lu Xiang'er's words fell, Huo Qingsong immediately spoke up: "Since my grandfather, every man in the Huo family has only one wife. Since I got married to you, I never thought that there would be other little ladies around me. ”

"You're telling the truth?" Lu Xiang'er raised her head and stared at Huo Qingsong's eyes seriously. Huo Qingsong didn't shy away from looking at Lu Xiang'er, and asked rhetorically, "Xiang'er, do you need me to swear to believe me?" ”

"That's not necessary." Lu Xiang'er shook her head and sighed softly: "Since that's the case, then I'll 'trust' you." But if one day you deceive me, I will go far away and never see you again. ”

As soon as Lu Xiang'er's words fell, she felt Huo Qingsong holding her hand tightly. Looking at Huo Qingsong's expression again, his face tightened, his mouth pursed slightly, and his eyes seemed to flash Lu Xiang'er's grievances of distrust of him. Lu Xiang'er couldn't believe that the majestic General Huo Da would have such a look in his eyes. While laughing in her heart, Lu Xiang'er found that she had added some strange feelings to Huo Qingsong. Suddenly, an ambiguous aura spread around Lu Xiang'er and Huo Qingsong.

Lu Xiang'er, who was a little uncomfortable, raised her head and glanced at Huo Qingsong quickly, but suddenly found that there was a trace of palpitating emotion in Huo Qingsong's eyes, and her face was red again. Thinking of the consequences of going on like this, Lu Xiang'er hurriedly coughed: "If Your Majesty really gives you a flat wife, or rewards a concubine to you, how do you plan to deal with it." ”

Lu Xiang'er's sudden words made the fire in Huo Qingsong's eyes instantly subside. Trying his best to suppress the restlessness in his heart, Huo Qingsong moved his gaze away, and said in a somewhat gloomy voice: "Eat the king's lu, bear the king's worries." If Your Majesty really does that, I will have no choice but to respond. ”

"Huh?" Lu Xiang'er was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Huo Qingsong with some surprise. If Huo Qingsong said, 'Eating the king's lu, loyal to the king', Lu Xiang'er would definitely be angry. But Huo Qingsong said, 'Eat the king's lu, bear the king's worries', this sentence is worth thinking about.

Guessing what was implied in this, Lu Xiang'er glanced at Huo Qingsong again. But seeing the gloom and ruthlessness hidden in Huo Qingsong's eyes, Lu Xiang'er was shocked in her heart, and seemed to understand something. But thinking of the extra little lady in the General's Mansion, Lu Xiang'er said with some taste: "If Your Majesty is worried about the heirs of the General's Mansion, do you also have to 'bear the worries of the king'?" ”

"How so." Huo Qingsong heard Lu Xiang'er's tone, and the previous depression dissipated instantly, and he looked at Lu Xiang'er with a smile in his eyes. Lu Xiang'er was a little regretful by Huo Qingsong, and said something like that impulsively, and lowered her head shyly.

Huo Qingsong, who was already much taller than Lu Xiang'er, saw the back of Lu Xiang'er's white jade-like neck, and the depth in his eyes that had just dissipated appeared. And it's even more intense than ever. For a moment, Huo Qingsong wanted to hold Lu Xiang'er in his arms. Thinking of something, Huo Qingsong had to be forced, and said silently in his heart: She is too young, wait, wait.

Although Lu Xiang'er didn't know what Huo Qingsong was saying, she felt something from Huo Qingsong's burning gaze. couldn't help but tremble slightly in her heart, afraid that Huo Qingsong really couldn't help it, so she immediately got up and sat opposite Huo Qingsong while pouring tea for Huo Qingsong.

"By the way, do you know who Princesse Jingrou is going to give you." Lu Xiang'er felt the unhappiness in Huo Qingsong's eyes, so she had to divert his attention.

Huo Qingsong heard Lu Xiang'er's inquiry, and sure enough, his eyes became gloomy again, but he didn't say anything. Lu Xiang'er saw the result she wanted to see, and Huo Qingsong was afraid that she was only disgusted with Princess Jingrou at this time. This is a happy thing for Lu Xianger. What little lady would endure her beloved's disgust with herself, thinking of Princess Jingrou's expression, Lu Xiang'er felt in a good mood.

Seeing Lu Xiang'er's smiling face, Huo Qingsong's face also softened a lot. But in his heart, he was a little anxious, and he couldn't wait for Lu Xiang'er to marry her tomorrow. However, thinking that Lu Xiang'er would not enter the general's mansion for a day, the matter of marriage might change, and Huo Qingsong's heart was a little uncomfortable.

Princess Jingrou was instigated to do such a thing, and it was difficult to guarantee that she would not have anything happen to her before Lu Xiang'er married into the General's Mansion. Huo Qingsong took a sip of tea, but he was calculating to find something to make Princess Jingrou busy and stop thinking about him and Lu Xiang'er.

Lu Xiang'er on the other side was very happy because she untied the knot in her heart that had just been knotted. Seeing that Huo Qingsong seemed to be thinking about something, it was rare for Lu Xiang'er not to interrupt him. Speaking of which, Lu Xiang'er hated Huo Qingsong the most when she faced her, but she was thinking about other things in her heart. I believe that any little lady will not be smooth in her heart when she encounters such a scene.

At this time, Huo Qingqing, who had been watching in the courtyard for an hour, finally came back with Chaoxia. At this time, it was already very late, and Huo Qingqing had to enter the palace tomorrow, so he couldn't rest too late. Lu Xiang'er was also a little sleepy at this time, so she didn't stay with Huo Qingsong and Huo Qingqing.

Sent the two brothers and sisters out of the Lu family, Lu Xianger just turned around with Chaoxia and prepared to go back to the West Cross Courtyard. Lu Hong suddenly ran out of the East Cross Courtyard and said to Lu Xiang'er urgently: "Xiang'er, what did Brother Huo say?" ”

Lu Hongtong is a man of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he also knows that it is common for him to have three wives and four concubines. But the other party is the one who wants to marry Lu Xiang'er, and Lu Hong doesn't want Huo Qingsong to take a concubine, but he can't say anything. At this time, as soon as Huo Qingsong left, Lu Hong had to ask Lu Xiang'er.

"He said that as long as His Majesty agrees, he will not refuse." Lu Xiang'er covered her mouth and yawned, looking a little tired. And when he said this, he walked directly to his courtyard, completely ignoring Lu Hong, who was stunned, and Chaoxia, who had a surprised look in his eyes.

Lu Hong and Chaoxia glanced at each other, and motioned for Chaoxia to ask Lu Xiang'er what was going on. Lu Hong is a man, so why can't he follow Lu Xiang'er to the West Cross Courtyard to ask. Chaoxia understood what Lu Hong meant, so she nodded and chased after Lu Xiang'er. But Lu Hong stood in the courtyard and thought for a long time, until he felt the cold air penetrating his bones, and then he shook his head and walked to his yard.
