Chapter 205: A False Alarm
[Chapter 5, Volume 5]
Section 205 Chapter 205 A false alarm
Outside the main hall of Changchun Garden, Huo Qingsong handed over the two palace maids to Huo Bao and asked him to send the two maids back to the general's mansion. And when he turned around and just wanted to enter the hall again, he found Fang Zhe standing in a corner waving to him. Huo Qingsong looked left and right, then raised his feet and walked over quickly.
When Fang Zhe waited for Huo Qingsong to approach, he couldn't wait to whisper a lot. Huo Qingsong didn't interject, but his face became darker and darker when he heard it, and his hands clenched with a 'cluck' and 'cluck' sound. Finally endured it until Fang Zhe finished speaking, Huo Qingsong opened his mouth, and his tone was as if he was going to eat people: "Are you all sure?" ”
"Don't worry, the general, his subordinates will report to the general only after they have all been determined." Fang Zhe couldn't help Huo Qingsong's air pressure a little, but he didn't dare to retreat, just gently wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.
Huo Qingsong didn't notice it at all, just thinking about everything Fang Zhe had just said. After a while, he said gloomily: "Since the princess has worked so hard, you can't disappoint her too much as a courtier......
Listening to every word Huo Qingsong said, Fang Zhe felt a gust of wind blowing in his back. Although Huo Qingsong's idea was too insidious, it was not comparable to that Princess Jingrou at all. When Fang Zhe heard the news today, he once again realized that there was no one in the royal family who was not scheming.
After breaking up with Huo Qingsong, Fang Zhe left Changchun Garden. But as he walked, he suddenly remembered that a few days ago, the prince's cronies always dragged him to drink. Thinking that the person was just calling him a brother and brother, but he didn't say anything, Fang Zhe reminded himself again that he had to deal with it with the spirit of twelve. Otherwise, he, a small general, would not know even if he was overshadowed.
Just as Huo Qingsong walked into the hall, Lu Erniang, who bowed her head slightly, had already walked out of the inner hall of the Water Pavilion accompanied by Mrs. Wen. When Lu Xiang'er and Wen Yao, as well as Chaoxia and Huo Qingqing saw the two of them, they immediately got up and stepped forward to ask. Mrs. Kewen shook her head slightly when she saw them, and the four of Lu Xiang'er stopped. Although she was puzzled, Lu Xiang'er also knew that in the palace here, she couldn't let Wen Yaola sit down by herself. However, Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia have been worried about Lu Erniang, and their faces are not very good.
"Xiang'er, Sister Chaoxia, you don't have to worry. My aunt didn't let us come forward, and there was nothing wrong with Mrs. Song. After Wen Yao finished speaking, seeing that Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia's expressions had not changed, she had to say again: "Don't worry, A-Niang knows that you are worried, and she will definitely send someone to inform us." ”
Sure enough, not long after Wen Yao finished saying this, a palace maid came to tell the four of them. Lu Erniang was just a little unwell, and she came back after resting for a while, so that Lu Xiang'er and the others didn't have to worry. Hearing the palace maid's answer, Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia's hearts were relieved. But Chaoxia pulled Lu Xiang'er again and asked her what Huo Qingsong really meant. Otherwise, she didn't worry about whether the two palace maids would have any impact on Lu Xiang'er after getting married. And while the four of them were talking, they didn't notice that Princess Jingrou had also left the water pavilion with Ju Yue'er.
About a quarter of an hour later, the palace maid who had just come to deliver the word suddenly came to the side of Lu Xiang'er and the four of them in the water pavilion. She first gave a salute to the four of them, and then whispered to Lu Xiang'er: "Little lady Lu, the Duchess sent a slave and maid to say that she would invite you over for questioning. ”
"Question?" Lu Xiang'er was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood something. Wen Yao, Chaoxia, and Huo Qingqing also thought of it, and Lu Erniang must have been uneasy, and wanted to ask Lu Xiang'er about the two palace maids. Thinking about the sake of Lu Erniang's heart, Lu Xiang'er immediately stood up and prepared to leave with the palace maid.
Wen Yao suddenly said to the palace maid when Lu Xiang'er got up: "This sister, Lu Xiaoniang entered the palace for the first time, and she is not familiar with the rules of the palace. I don't know, can I accompany her to take care of her, so as not to bump into the nobles in the palace. ”
"The slave maid can't afford to be called the little lady Wen, please come with the slave maid." When the palace maid heard Wen Yao's title, she immediately took a step back. After Wen Yao finished speaking, he gave her a salute. Except that her head hangs very low, her demeanor is quite appropriate. Wen Yao nodded slightly, then took Lu Xiang'er's hand and followed the palace maid out of the water pavilion.
Lu Xiang'er and Wen Yao didn't expect that not long after they left the Water Pavilion, the three of them heard Princess Jingrou and Ju Yue'er talking. Lu Xiang'er's expression immediately moved, and she and Wen Yao glanced at each other. From Wen Yao's mouth, Lu Xiang'er knew that there was a pavilion in front of her, and she knew that she would definitely meet Princess Jingrou.
Princess Jingrou's hostility towards Lu Xiang'er is very clear to Lu Xiang'er. At this time, it was still in the palace, and there was no one around, if she really met Princess Jingrou, Lu Xiang'er didn't have to think much about it to understand what would happen. Although Lu Xiang'er was not afraid of Princess Jingrou's ridicule and ridicule, she didn't want to meet her at this time.
Wen Yao also understood these things, pulled Lu Xiang'er two steps behind, and said in a low voice: "I will meet the princess for a while, I will stay and talk to the princess, you don't stay longer." I'll go back to you when I'm free. ”
"I see. Then Sister Yao'er, be careful. Lu Xiang'er nodded, and made a note in her heart of Wen Yao's maintenance of herself. Wen Yao smiled back at Lu Xiang'er, and said quickly: "Xiang'er, don't worry, I'm a member of the Wen family, and the princess doesn't dare to do anything to me." ”
As the two were talking, they had already bypassed the rockery and saw Princess Jingrou and Ju Yue'er in the pavilion. The palace maid who led the way in front saw the two of them, so she rushed forward to give a salute, and Wen Yao and Lu Xiang'er, who were walking behind, had to follow Shi Li and get up.
Princess Jingrou saw Lu Xiang'er and Wen Yao, and there was no smile on her face. However, after looking at Ju Yue'er beside her, she still asked, "I don't know why the two little ladies are here?" ”
"Back to the princess, it was the Duchess of the Kingdom who wanted to talk to Little Lady Lu, so Wen Yao would accompany Little Lady Lu before leaving the Water Pavilion." Finding that Princess Jingrou's gaze really fell on Lu Xiang'er, Wen Yao hurriedly stepped forward and said softly: "I didn't expect to meet two princesses here to enjoy the snow and talk about poetry." If the two princesses don't think Wen Yao is presumptuous, Wen Yao pours a poem that echoes this scene. ”
"Oh, let's talk about it." Ju Yue'er seemed to like the poems of the Central Plains very much, and when she heard what Wen Yao said, her eyes lit up a little.
Princess Jingrou, who wanted to say something, glanced at Lu Xiang'er, then nodded and said, "Sister doesn't know, this little lady in front of you is a famous talented girl." I am stained with my sister's light today, so I can hear a poem written by Wen Xiaoniang. However, such an elegant thing should not let the copper smell get stained and change the taste. ”
"The folk girl said goodbye." Lu Xiang'er heard that Princess Jingrou was driving herself away, but this strange tone made her a fire. However, under Wen Yao's eyes, Lu Xiang'er still couldn't hold back the words that she wanted to speak, and gave another salute and left with the palace maid.
Out of this garden again, a palace gate appeared in front of Lu Xiang'er. When the palace maid saw this palace gate, she turned around and saluted Lu Xiang'er, and said in a low voice: "Little lady Lu, the Duchess of Guo is resting in the palace here, the slave maid still has something to do, please go to see the Duchess of Guo by herself." ”
As soon as the words fell, the palace maid got up and left, leaving Lu Xiang'er who was a little stunned. Lu Xiang'er looked at the closed palace door and didn't feel anything wrong, but she was thinking about whether the palace door would be locked. Shaking her head, Lu Xiang'er stretched out her hand, ready to push open the palace door. But at this moment, a pair of big hands suddenly stretched out behind Lu Xiang'er, which instantly covered Lu Xiang'er's mouth and pulled her to the corner.
Lu Xiang'er was stunned for a while by this sudden incident before thinking of something, and struggled to break free of the hands of the person behind her. But the strength of the person behind him was really great, and he felt that he was about to be dragged to the corner of the woods, so Lu Xiang'er struggled to open her mouth and bit the big hand covering her mouth tightly.
After this mouthful, Lu Xiang'er used enough strength to bite off a piece of meat. Unexpectedly, the imaginary screams did not come, only the sound of inhaling cold air was faintly heard. Lu Xiang'er was in a hurry, and just when she wanted to change places and take another bite, a hot breath invaded her ears.
"Last time because of me, you hurt your foot. This time you bit my hand, but it can be considered flat. The tone of voice was cold, and the voice did not fluctuate, but Lu Xiang'er's heart returned to its original position. At this time, Lu Xianger felt that she was sweating all over, and her whole body had no strength.
Huo Qingsong also seemed to understand something, and when he came to the wall, he changed Lu Xiang'er's body and pressed her in his arms. However, seeing that there were still undried tears in the corners of Lu Xiang'er's eyes, Huo Qingsong suddenly regretted why he didn't speak up when he started. If Lu Xiang'er had known that it was him, Lu Xiang'er would not have been scared like this. Thinking about it, Huo Qingsong didn't care about the bleeding hand, only the other hand patted Lu Xiang'er's back tightly to relieve her nervousness.
Lu Xiang'er, who had regained some strength, was very attached to the breath in Huo Qingsong's arms, but she still straightened up and glared at the face above her head. Thinking back to the feeling of being scared to death just now, Lu Xiang'er couldn't help but be scared again, her eyes were a little red again, and she choked up even when she spoke: "Do you know, I was almost scared to death just now......
"It's my fault this time, there will never be a next time, don't worry." It was the first time Huo Qingsong saw Lu Xiang'er in tears, and there was a slight tingling in his heart. Without waiting for Lu Xiang'er to finish speaking, he pressed Lu Xiang'er into his arms again and said softly: "You, you're really careless, how can you follow people you don't know everywhere alone." ”
"I'm not alone, Sister Yao'er is also with me. If it weren't for the ...... What do you mean, if you don't make it clear, I'll be, I'll ignore you anymore. Lu Xiang'er heard Huo Qingsong say this for the first time, and she felt a little better. But as she spoke, Lu Xiang'er felt something, and immediately straightened up again, looking at Huo Qingsong with inquiring eyes.
I have to say that Lu Xiang'er's rare appearance, with tears in the corners of her eyes and a somewhat stubborn expression, is really attractive. Huo Qingsong didn't know if he was drugged by Lu Xiang'er, and he missed her more and more every day. Thinking that there were still four months to go, Huo Qingsong did something that surprised him, and wiped the tears from the corners of Lu Xiang'er's eyes.
Sensing Lu Xiang'er's strange gaze, Huo Qingsong turned his head unnaturally and said, "If you really walk into that palace gate, you will ......"
