Chapter 193 193 Puzzle Solution

After returning to the Lu family, Lu Xiang'er and the three of them slowly got rid of the influence of Song Beiqiao and Li Xingzhou. In the hearts of the three of them, sitting and eating with these two elders was something they never dared to imagine. It wasn't until later that I heard Song Yuan mention that it was Li Xingzhou who went to find Song Beiqiao that day, and I wanted to take a walk around. Unintentionally, when she came to Piaoxiang Wine Workshop, Lu Xianger's heart was more relaxed.

What Lu Xiang'er was most afraid of was that Li Xingzhou was angry with Chaoxia because of Li Wenhao, and after Song Yuan said this, her heart could be regarded as letting go. can think of the scenes in front of Piaoxiang Wine Workshop, Lu Xiang'er couldn't hold her breath anymore. If it weren't for Huo Qingsong's strong appearance and the solution of those three people, Piaoxiang Wine Shop would probably not be able to operate. And the culprit of all this is the princess Jingrou who doesn't like her.

In the west courtyard of the Lu family, Lu Xiang'er was cutting a large ice cube with Chaoxia. Lu Xiang'er, who was angry in her heart, was also heavier, as if the ice cube in front of her was Princess Jingrou, and she was digging hard. After looking at Lu Xiang'er many times, Chaoxia understood something, shook her head and said, "Xiang'er, this is an ice cube, and it's not the princess, no matter how hard you try, she doesn't know." ”

"But I just can't get angry." Lu Xiang'er threw the knife in her hand on the table, rolled her eyes, and said angrily: "Don't let me find a chance." Otherwise, I will definitely repay the princess's kindness to me. ”

"Xiang'er, for the time being, you don't have a chance, and Princess Jingrou doesn't have time to treat you well for the time being." Hearing the sound from outside the hospital, Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia couldn't help but look out.

I saw a group of five people strolling into the West Cross Courtyard, Huo Qingqing and Wen Yao walked in front, and Lu Hong accompanied Huo Qingsong and Wen Song in the back. Listening to the voice just now, you know that it was Huo Qingqing who said. As soon as Lu Xiang'er saw the four of them, a smile appeared on her face. While looking at the sky, she smiled and said, "What day is today, why did you come together." ”

"Today is certainly a good day." Huo Qingqing walked quickly to the icicles in the courtyard, looked east and west, and his mouth was not idle: "Tell you a piece of news worth being happy about." There is an envoy to Gaochang in the Western Regions to visit, because there is a princess of Gaochang in the envoy, Princess Jingrou was sent by His Majesty to prepare for the envoy with the four princes. The current Princess Jingrou is so busy that she has nothing else to think about. Xiang'er, are you happy this time? ”

Qingqing didn't say anything. The second prince was called to the palace by His Majesty and reprimanded for half an hour, and now he has been punished for thinking about it behind closed doors. When the envoys came, he could leave the prince's palace. After Wen Yao finished speaking, she also turned around in the courtyard.

In fact, not only Huo Qingqing and Wen Yao, Huo Qingsong and Wen Song seemed to be interested in the icicles in the yard. While watching, Wen Song also said with surprise in his eyes: "I don't know, what kind of scene will be after putting in the candle." ”

"Sister Chaoxia told Lu Xiang'er that when everything is done, I will invite friends who are familiar with me to come and see it." Lu Hong saw that among the several people, Wen Yao began to stomp his feet, so he raised his voice and said, "Today's cold is heavier, let's go into the house and sit down." ”

Lu Hong turned his head as he spoke, but suddenly found that Lu Xiang'er was looking at him. Moreover, Lu Xiang'er smiled mysteriously, pulled Wen Yao, Huo Qingqing, and Chaoxia to the outside of the courtyard. Lu Hong was shocked by Lu Xiang'er's eyes, and he felt embarrassed that his heart was seen through. Fortunately, Lu Xiang'er didn't say anything, Lu Hong stood in place and secretly let out a sigh, and then walked behind with Huo Qingsong and Wen Song and also walked out of the courtyard.

As soon as the group entered the main room and sat down, Xiaocui took the freshly brewed tea and delivered it to everyone. Lu Hong accompanied Huo Qingsong and Wen Song to sit in the living room and chat about tomorrow's martial arts exam. And Huo Qingqing and Wen Yao, who were sitting in the inner hall, also took advantage of this time to carefully tell Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia about Princess Jingrou.

Because every year at the end of the year, Gao Changguo, who was a vassal to the Great Zhou Dynasty, would send an envoy to Beijing to meet His Majesty the Emperor. On the surface, it was Gao Changguo who showed the loyalty of the vassal state to the Great Zhou Dynasty and admired the culture of the Central Plains. And there is a deep meaning in this, which is not what Huo Qingqing and Wen Yao care about. The two of them just talked, secretly praising Huo Qingsong for being insidious, and even asked His Majesty the Emperor to assign the task of welcoming the envoys to Princess Jingrou.

This greets the Gaochang envoy group, and every year the prince participates in the whole process. Not only should we take care to greet them, but we should also entertain them well before they leave, so that the envoys can leave satisfied. Although His Majesty the Emperor also appointed the four princes, Zhao Chengmin never cared about any official affairs. It can be said that Zhao Chengmin is also famous, but it is Princess Jingrou who is really in charge of everything.

This made Princess Jingrou angry, and she wanted to ask His Majesty the Emperor several times to excuse herself. But after Concubine Xiang didn't know what to say to Princess Jingrou, she was honestly busy greeting her. Every day, Princess Jingrou can be regarded as getting up early and sleeping late, either staying in the Ministry of Rites or going to the post station. If Concubine Xiang hadn't sent He Ya to accompany her, she would have jumped up a long time ago.

After finishing talking about Princess Jingrou, Huo Qingqing took the initiative to ask about the matter in front of the Piaoxiang Wine Workshop. She and Wen Yao had only heard about it, but it was really unclear. But she regretted that she missed the wonderful thing: "If it weren't for the mother who called me and Sister Yao'er into the palace again, we would have been able to see what happened in front of the wine shop." ”

"What's there to regret about this." Lu Xiang'er laughed, and saw that Wen Yao was also a little curious, so she told the cause and effect of what happened in the winery again.

After listening to this, Huo Qingqing expressed his anger at Princess Jingrou. But Wen Yao looked thoughtful, seeing that the corners of Lu Xiang'er's mouth were slightly raised, she secretly sighed that Wen Yao was really a little lady in the show. Looking at Lu Hong's appearance, he was obviously moved by Wen Yao. Compared with He Ya, Lu Xianger thought that Wen Yao was more suitable for Lu Hong in her heart. Do you want to help my brother, Lu Xiang'er took a sip of tea and moved her eyes to the living room outside.

"Brother Huo, Brother Wen, I don't understand, isn't Your Highness afraid that Your Majesty will be tired of him if you do this?" Lu Hong, Huo Qingsong, and Wen Song were also talking about what happened in front of the winery.

That day, Chaoxia left suddenly, and it was to follow the carriage. After finally confirming that the second prince Zhao Chenggao was sitting in the car, Chaoxia returned to the winery. On the way, Chaoxia met the second steward of the Guogong Mansion, and was taken to the hot pot shop to meet Lu Xianger and Lu Hong.

Listening to Lu Hong's question, Huo Qingsong and Wen Song glanced at each other, and then said softly: "The second prince left the door of the wine shop that day, and went to the palace to ask His Majesty for his guilt. He said that he originally wanted to vent his anger for his sister and teach Xiang'er a lesson. But he didn't expect that things would get out of hand, and he couldn't regret it, so he asked His Majesty for his guilt. ”

When Huo Qingsong said this, he stopped, but there was something strange in his tone that made Lu Hong scratch his head. Wen Song also shook his head, and then said: "His Royal Highness admitted his mistake sincerely, and His Majesty was also pleased with the brotherhood of His Second Highness, so he only punished His Highness for thinking about it behind closed doors. ”

"Brotherhood?" Lu Hong was a little stunned, but he slowly understood the actual meaning.

The second prince Zhao Chenggao played 'Yangmou', and he made so many things for his sister. The owners of the three major wineries made trouble in the Piaoxiang Winery, on the surface, Zhao Chenggao wanted to force out Lu Xianger and damage her reputation. In fact, his target is Huo Qingsong. Huo Qingsong has become more and more trusted by His Majesty the Emperor, but he is friendly with the fourth prince Zhao Chengmin. Zhao Chenggao thought that Huo Qingsong was a threat and wanted to break the emperor's trust in Huo Qingsong.

Of course, if there is no 'killing two birds with one stone', Zhao Chenggao will not have any damage. As long as he bites and defends Princess Jingrou, His Majesty the Emperor will not punish him much. Perhaps, the emperor still thinks that Zhao Chenggao is affectionate and righteous. In short, no matter what the final result is, his second prince Zhao Chenggao is the winner.

There was silence in the living room, and Lu Hong didn't know what Huo Qingsong and Wen Song were thinking, but his heart was very uneasy. Compared with his previous experience, Lu Hong felt for the first time that conspiracy and calculation could be played so skillfully. It turns out that an ordinary little thing actually has such a big impact. The thoughts of the royal people are really deep and chilling.

The change in the expression on Lu Hong's face fell into the eyes of Huo Qingsong and Wen Song at all. The two looked at each other, both a little helpless. If Lu Hong hadn't chosen to enter the court, they wouldn't have said anything to Lu Hong. But he has already chosen this path, and he needs to understand what is going on. Even if he doesn't want to be involved, he has to know more to avoid unwarranted disasters.

"Hey, what's wrong with you, you don't speak?" Lu Xiang'er and the four of them walked out of the inner hall, but they felt that the atmosphere in the living room was a little solemn, so Huo Qingqing asked out loud.

Wen Song immediately smiled and said, "It's nothing, just a casual chat, are you warm?" ”

"Well, it's still warm in the inner hall." Wen Yao nodded and sat next to Wen Song, just opposite Lu Hong. Suddenly finding that Lu Hong's gaze fell on his body a little weird, Wen Yao's heart suddenly trembled, and slowly lowered his head.

Lu Hong looked at Wen Yao's shyness when he lowered his head, and it wasn't until Lu Xiang'er coughed intentionally that he withdrew his gaze. But a few people sitting in the living room suddenly understood something at this time. Before, Huo Qingqing and Wen Song, who were not aware at all, began to look back and forth on Lu Hong and Wen Yao's bodies.

Wen Yao really couldn't stand such an atmosphere and gaze, and after saying a few words, she found an excuse to leave with Wen Song. When Lu Hong sent the two to say goodbye, Wen Song patted Lu Hong on the shoulder and said strangely: "Boy, you are good, let's have a good chat in the future." ”

"Brother, if you don't leave, I'll leave." Wen Yao couldn't hear what Wen Song knew, so she dropped a sentence angrily and annoyed, and got into the carriage.

Lu Hong was immediately stunned when he saw Wen Yao's behavior, but when he thought that Wen Yao didn't refute, he didn't mean to refuse him, so he immediately smiled. Seeing that Wen Song also got into the carriage, he remembered something, and raised his voice: "Brother Wen is too polite, younger brother will invite you to drink another day......"
