[Chapter 4, Volume 4]

Section 166 166 is not the right time

To the east of Miyagi in the capital of Kyoto, it was once the place where the imperial family of the previous dynasty lived. After the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Taizu rebuilt various mansions in this place, which were specially used to reward meritorious officials. Therefore, the people who live in this place are all famous and prestigious ministers of the court, or their descendants.

Because of the 'Rebellion of King Chen', there are also comrades of King Chen in the court, and this land is convenient to vacate many mansions. His Majesty the Emperor has once again rewarded these vacant places to meritorious officials. For example, Zheng Baiyang, a squire of the military department who has just taken office. Maybe it's because of living here that Mrs. Zheng is a little arrogant. From a distance, there is only one red piece of the door of the mansion, which is very conspicuous. Although it looks luxurious, it looks so tacky.

Huo Qingqing, who was sitting in the carriage, looked at Lu Hong outside the curtain, and then pouted and whispered: "I don't know how Master Zheng is in charge, and he actually allowed Mrs. Zheng to make her mansion look like this." ”

Lu Xiang'er shook her head, with some contempt in her tone, and said, "Qingqing, you don't know, it is the old lady who can really call the shots in the Zheng family. Lord Zheng is a great filial son, if Mrs. Zheng said that the moon is square, he will not be round. ”

'Poof-' It was the first time Wen Yao heard Lu Xiang'er say such an interesting thing, and she couldn't help but laugh. Huo Qingqing covered his mouth for the first time, giggling. Chaoxia had long been immune to Lu Xiang'er's sudden words, but the corners of her mouth were raised. Chaoxia could hear that Lu Xiang'er did not have any good feelings for the old lady of the Zheng family. Who let it be her in the first place, Lu Erniang and Zheng Baiyang reconciled, and suffered a lot.

However, Lu Erniang can now be regarded as bitter. not only found a person who was sincere to her, but this person was also Song Yuan, the Duke of Song Guo, who was important in the Great Zhou Dynasty. At this moment, it is even more obvious that Zheng Baiyang is not a man who can aspire for life.

"I'm about to arrive at the Guogong Mansion, ready to get off-" As Lu Hong's voice came, the anxious Huo Qingqing opened the curtain in front of him. Suddenly, the Guogong Mansion, which was different from the past, was imprinted in the eyes of several people.

In other words, it is not the first time that Lu Xiang'er, Lu Hong, and Chaoxia have come to the Guogong Mansion, but it is the first time they have seen the Guogong Mansion in front of them. Two big red lanterns were hung high, and the red blanket led from the gate of the Guogong Mansion to the main hall inside. Looking from the door, the figures in the Guogong Mansion swayed, coming and going in an orderly manner. Although it is the beginning of winter, there are all kinds of seasonal flowers in the palace, and there is joy everywhere. Compared with the scene when Lu Erniang and Song Yuan got married, it was more solemn and gorgeous.

Huo Qingqing and Wen Yao were slightly stunned when they saw this scene. Lu Xiang'er, Lu Hong and Chaoxia were puzzled in their hearts, this Concubine Song must be very favored by His Majesty the Emperor. Otherwise, the Guogong Mansion would not have been able to put on such a big battle. It was still out of the corner of Lu Xiang'er's eyes that she saw Wen Yao's somewhat solemn face before she asked.

Wen Yao looked at Huo Qingqing, and then said hesitantly: "Today's scene seems to be not just as simple as Niangniang coming to the Guogong Mansion by herself, I'm afraid Your Majesty will also come." ”

"What Sister Yao'er said is not wrong, every time Niangniang comes to the Guogong Mansion, there has never been such a big scene." Huo Qingqing nodded, agreeing with Wen Yao's guess.

"Stop-" Hearing Wen Yao's words, Lu Hong immediately asked Xiao Wu to stop the carriage and looked back at Wen Yao: "Little lady Wen, what you said is true?" ”

For some reason, Wen Yao looked a little embarrassed when she faced Lu Hong's gaze. Nodding slightly, she said in a low voice: "The ladies in the palace will not have such a big scene when they leave the palace." That's just my guess, though. ”

After hearing this, Lu Xiang'er, Lu Hong, and Chaoxia looked at each other and felt that they shouldn't come. Actually, if Song Yuan hadn't said that the old grandfather also asked Lu Hong and the three of them to come, the three of them really didn't want to come. Facing characters that ordinary people may never see in their lifetime, Lu Xianger and the three of them are also a little timid. Now, hearing that His Majesty the Emperor might also come, Lu Xiang'er had the urge to turn around and leave immediately.

Seeing the look on Lu Xiang'er's face, Lu Hong thought about it for a while, and then said to Huo Qingqing and Wen Yao: "Today's situation is special, we won't go to the Guogong Mansion." Those two jars of wine, please dedicate them to the mother. ”

"Why is that?" Huo Qingqing waited for Lu Hong's voice to fall, and when he saw that Lu Xiang'er also nodded, he immediately asked. Wen Yao's thoughts were also like Huo Qingqing at the beginning, but when he saw Lu Hong turning his head to look at the Guogong Mansion, he suddenly thought of something, and his eyes flashed suddenly.

Although Lu Hong looked at the Guogong Mansion, he was thinking about Lu Erniang in his heart. He knew that Huo Qingqing and Wen Yao were not outsiders, so he said softly: "Your Majesty is here in person, there will be many people following, I don't want to embarrass my aunt." Even if you want to meet Your Majesty in front of A-Niang, tonight is not the most appropriate time. ”

"Okay, then." Huo Qingqing was silent, somewhat understanding what Lu Hong meant. Lu Hong once said that he would work hard to get the 'martial champion' and add glory to Lu Erniang's face. Perhaps, at that time, it was the most appropriate time for Lu Hong to speak.

Song Yuan, as the grandfather of the country, took Lu Erniang as his wife, but it was not a small matter. Although no one said anything clearly, Huo Qingqing also heard gossip. And roughly, they are all talking about Lu Erniang's no, saying that she has children, but they don't know what means to confuse Song Guogong. Lu Hong didn't want to go in at this time, but it wasn't like everyone's eyes were falling on Lu Erniang, putting so much pressure on her.

Wen Yao saw that Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia's expressions were also a little lonely, so she smiled and said, "Qingqing, I won't go in either." Every time I see my mother, I will ask me about my personal affairs in public. I don't want to be married to someone I don't know. ”

"None of you went in?" When Huo Qingqing heard Wen Yao say this, her voice suddenly became higher, and she said unhappily: "Then I won't go either." ”

"That's not going to work." Wen Yao smiled at Huo Qingqing and said again: "You are the granddaughter of the grandfather of the old country, how can you not be there." And we're waiting for you to tell me about it later. ”

When Lu Xiang'er heard Wen Yao say this, she nodded again and again: "Sister Yao'er is right. Qingqing, I'll make you a 'steamed egg' to eat tomorrow, you can go in quickly." ”

Chaoxia didn't say anything, just took two jars of wine and handed them to Huo Qingqing. And Lu Hong had already jumped out of the car and gave way to the place where he got off. Huo Qingqing looked around for a while, and said with a very angry face: "You guys are too bad, let me go in alone." Xiang'er, I don't just eat 'steamed eggs', I also eat ......"

After Huo Qingqing got out of the car, his mouth was not idle, but his voice was a little quieter. Watching her babble all the way to the Guogong Mansion, Lu Xiang'er and the others laughed amused by her appearance. I have to say that Huo Qingqing is really interesting sometimes, and I don't know who can marry such an innocent little lady.

"Alright, let's go. Send the little lady home first, and then we'll go back. Lu Hong had just jumped into the carriage, ready to let Xiao Wu turn the carriage around, when the sound of horses' hooves sounded diagonally at the end of the street.

When Wen Yao saw this, he hurriedly said, "Retreat the carriage into the alley, we can't go." That's Yu Linwei, they must have sealed off this street, let's just wait in the alley. ”

When Lu Hong heard Wen Yao's words, he immediately asked Xiao Wu to retreat the carriage into the alley behind him. But before the carriage could take a few steps back, a group of soldiers in armor came out of nowhere and surrounded the carriage. It may be that these people have a very heavy murderous aura on their bodies, or they are all facing the tips of the guns in their hands, and the horses driven by Xiao Wu began to neigh non-stop.

"Stop, stand back." Just when Wen Yao wanted to explain something, a tall general walked over. Seeing this person, Lu Hong immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Brother Fang, it turned out to be you." ”

"Brother Lu, long time no see. I can think of how to resist your shot in the next few days, and we will fight again one day. When Fang Zhe found the carriage, he looked at Lu Hong sitting in the carriage and immediately walked over. But when he approached, he found three beautiful little ladies sitting in the carriage. Two of them are Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia, whom Fang Zhe knows.

Seeing this, Fang Zhe's eyes rolled and he waved away those Yu Lin Guards before he said again: "You wait here for a while, and when Your Majesty and Niangniang enter the Guogong Mansion, you can leave, and I have to go to other places to see." ”

"Thank you, Brother Fang, then we'll leave in a while." Lu Hong hugged his fists to Fang Zhe and sat back in the car.

As soon as Fang Zhe left, he saw several wide carriages coming in the distance. The front and rear of the carriage were followed by neat palace guards, but on the left and right were palace maids and eunuchs. Although this scene was already very low-key in Wen Yao's mouth, Lu Xiang'er still felt that it was very loud.

Lu Xiang'er and the others sitting in the carriage could clearly see the diagonal opposite. Seeing this, Wen Yao, one of them, whispered in surprise: "It seems that Lu Gongzi's guess is not wrong, today is not only His Majesty and Niangniang, but also the third prince and the eldest princess and his wife." ”

"So, we'll see quite a few more people tonight." Lu Xiang'er couldn't see the difference between those carriages, and she was a little strange how Wen Yao recognized them. However, thinking of being able to see His Majesty the current emperor in the dark, as well as the prince and princess, Lu Xiang'er was still in a good mood. It's as exciting as standing in the crowd and watching a superstar up close in a past life.

Soon, the carriage stopped at the gate of the Guogong Mansion, and the palace maids and eunuchs walked to the first carriage in an orderly manner. Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong saw His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty for the first time, and they both looked at him very seriously, wanting to see what he looked like.
