Chapter 155 Chapter 155 Princess Jingjing

With the end of the examination, the students who came to Beijing Normal University finally breathed a sigh of relief, and while waiting for the release of the list, they gathered in groups to play the scenic spots and historic sites of Beijing Division. If you live in Beijing, you will hold a poetry meeting and other gatherings to make friends with similar interests. Students who want to get to know the dignitaries of Beijing have spared no effort to come and go to these gatherings. Because of this, although the weather in Jingshi is getting colder and colder, it is very lively.

However, the Lu family had no time to pay attention to these, and Lu Hong even resigned Feng Wen and Liao Wenbo's many invitations. Even Huo Qingqing and her nurse Zheng came early during this time and returned to the General's Mansion very late. There is no other reason, Lu Erniang is about to marry into the Guogong Mansion, and everyone is busy for her.

Although Lu Erniang is married for the second time and doesn't want to be so public, Song Yuan is the first time to marry a wife. With Song Yuan's current status, it is the Guogong Mansion to marry a wife, which is a big thing, and it also alarmed His Majesty the Emperor Zhao Changyuan.

No way, at Song Yuan's age, it should be time for his children to marry a wife. And when he gets married at this time, of course, it will attract many eyes. There is a lady who loves Song Yuan in her heart, and she is to inquire about Lu Erniang. In the end, the fact that Lu Erniang is Heli's wife and has a pair of children spread all over Beijing. If it weren't for Song Yuan secretly protecting the Lu family, there might be people 'sightseeing' in front of the Lu family's gate every day.

As for Zheng Baiyang, whom Lu Erniang married before, few people know. Because Lu Erniang didn't say it, Song Yuan didn't say it, Zheng Baiyang also understood something, and no one in the house was allowed to go out and talk nonsense. His wife, as well as the old lady in the house, although they were holding their breath in their hearts, did not dare to show it. Therefore, there are few people who know about this, of course, this does not include His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Zhao Changyuan, who was sitting on the dragon chair, looked at the few pages in his hand, and kept a smile on his face, but it made it impossible to see what he was thinking. After a while, Zhao Changyuan put aside the paper in his hand, raised his head, and said, "General Huo, in this way, the Lu family is really a loyal and patriotic businessman. If it weren't for Lu Tai's timely discovery of King Chen's dissent, I wouldn't have been able to quell the rebellion in Jiangnan so quickly. Song Guogong also became attached to Lu Erniang at that time, which can be regarded as the will of heaven. ”

"Your Majesty." Huo Qingsong looked at his nose and nose, and his tone was flat, which made people feel that the Song Yuan and Lu Erniang he was talking about seemed to be irrelevant people.

Zhao Changyuan couldn't help but smile when he saw Huo Qingsong's performance like this. However, after glancing at the paper next to him, His Majesty the Emperor said again: "However, I am very interested in this Lu Xiang'er. The prodigies of the Great Zhou Dynasty also have geniuses. But it was the first time I saw a girl of five or six years old, and I knew how to find a way to make money to help the family. After that, even I was a little fascinated by wine and shochu. It's a pity that she hasn't ...... yet."

Speaking of which, Zhao Changyuan, who had been observing Huo Qingsong, finally saw Huo Qingsong's slightly changed face and couldn't help laughing. And when Huo Qingsong heard Zhao Changyuan's laughter, he knew that he was ridiculed by His Majesty the Emperor. But Huo Qingsong thought about it again, and let His Majesty the Emperor know that he had a heart, so he could persuade Princess Jingrou.

Thinking of this, Huo Qingsong looked at the old eunuch beside Zhao Changyuan, and said in a low voice: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister is interested in Lu Xiang'er and wants to marry her." ”

Zhao Changyuan heard that Huo Qingsong did not hide his intentions at all, and immediately understood something. Thinking of his little daughter, Zhao Changyuan sighed softly, nodded slightly, and said, "That's fine." There will be a trial release today, you don't want to watch it, go quickly. ”

"The minister retired." Huo Qingsong bowed and bowed, and slowly withdrew from the main hall. But Zhao Changyuan looked at Huo Qingsong who was far away, and he didn't retract his gaze for a long time. The old eunuch beside him kept his head down, like a stone statue.

After a while, Zhao Changyuan said softly: "Xiao Nian, did Shuxian go there again and wait for General Huo?" ”

"Go back to Your Majesty, do you want the old slave to persuade the princess to come back." When the old eunuch heard Zhao Changyuan's voice, he immediately walked to his side with a respectful expression.

Zhao Changyuan shook his head: "With Shuxian's temperament, unless it is my own family." It's also because I doted on her too much that I developed the temperament that she had to get what she wanted. Forget it, let her go. Still, send someone to watch her, don't let her do too much. General Huo is too much like General Huo, he really wants to provoke him, he becomes a tiger descending from the mountain. ”

"The old slave is going to arrange the manpower." Zhao Changyuan's words made Xiao Nian's eyes flash with different colors from time to time. As soon as Zhao Changyuan's words fell, he immediately recovered and retreated to the side hall.

In the empty hall, Zhao Changyuan sat there alone, and he didn't move for a long time. And look at his eyes wandering, as if he was thinking about something. From the sweet and sometimes sad expression on his face, you can understand what Zhao Changyuan is recalling. It wasn't until a sigh sounded that he got up and left the hall.

Besides, Huo Qingsong withdrew from the main hall, and was led by two little eunuchs towards the palace gate. I don't know where Zhao Changyuan heard about the relationship between Lu Erniang and Zheng Baiyang, the squire of the military department, so he asked Huo Qingsong to find out the details of the Lu family, which led to today's trip to the palace.

Fortunately, the life experience of several members of the Lu family is average, and they can be regarded as meritorious to the court, and Zhao Changyuan agreed that Lu Erniang married into the Guogong Mansion. Come to think of it, on the day of Lu Erniang's wedding, His Majesty the Emperor's holy decree to reward her will also arrive at the Guogong Mansion. With a good fate, Lu Erniang is not something that ordinary people can run, and Lu Xianger and Lu Hong can also rest assured.

Thinking of Lu Xiang'er, who was shy that night, the coldness on Huo Qingsong's face immediately dissipated, and there was also a smile in his eyes. But when Huo Qingsong saw the people in the pavilion in front of him, his grim expression returned to his face. Moreover, Huo Qingsong still looked ahead, as if he didn't see the person.

The two little eunuchs who led the way in front of Huo Qingsong saw the person in front of them, but their whole bodies trembled. The two glanced at each other, turned around and saluted Huo Qingsong at the same time, and said in unison: "General Huo, the palace gate is ahead, the slave and maid will be sent here, and please take a few more steps." ”

As soon as the words fell, the two little eunuchs walked away quickly around Huo Qingsong. If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't run at will in the palace, I'm afraid the two little eunuchs would definitely run away. In fact, not only these two little eunuchs, but the palace maids and eunuchs of the entire palace will hide when they meet this person. If you accidentally mess with this person's heart, you will definitely not be able to run away from the board.

"Huo Qingsong, didn't you see me, I've been waiting for you for a long time." With a crisp but arrogant voice, a beautiful little lady in a breast-length skirt floated in front of Huo Qingsong like a butterfly.

Huo Qingsong sensed the approach of the comer, and immediately took two big steps back, before bowing down and clenching his fists and saying, "The minister has seen Her Royal Highness Princess Jingrou, Princess Wanfu." The minister was about to go to the Ministry of Rites and Tribute Academy, but he didn't see the princess, so he asked the princess for forgiveness. ”

Princess Jingrou is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and she is also a rare beauty in terms of appearance. However, there is always a hint of arrogance in her eyes, which makes people feel that this princess is not a good person to get along with. Of course, as the princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there is no shortage of people around to please her, and few people are afraid of what is 'not easy to get along with'.

Seeing Huo Qingsong's deliberate distance, Princess Jingrou bit her lip and said as if she didn't care: "Huo Qingsong, I came back from the border pass and brought you a gift." Some time ago, you have been busy, and I didn't even have a chance to give it to you. I met it today, and I will hand it over to you myself. ”

As soon as Princess Jingrou finished speaking, the two palace maids beside her sent a long box to her. Princess Jingrou quickly opened the box, and a simple sword appeared in front of Huo Qingsong. Although there is no decoration on the appearance of this sword, Huo Qingsong can feel that it is a good sword.

"General Huo, the sword is given to the hero, please accept it." Princess Jingrou saw that Huo Qingsong's eyes lit up when she saw the sword, and she was also very happy in her heart. Of course, when she said what she just said, she also added a sentence in her heart, you are the hero in my heart.

Huo Qingsong seemed to hear what Princess Jingrou meant, his expression was correct, and he bowed down and said, "The princess's heart, the minister is very grateful." However, the minister could not accept the princess's gift and asked the princess to forgive her sins. ”

"You really don't want to?" Princess Jingrou saw that she had said it so clearly, but Huo Qingsong still didn't accept it, and her face immediately turned cold. Before, Princess Jingrou also expressed her intentions, although Huo Qingsong did not accept it, but Princess Jingrou didn't care. She believes that as long as she doesn't give up, Huo Qingsong will definitely be moved by her in the end. But now the situation is different, Princess Jingrou doesn't want to wait any longer.

Huo Qingsong had already noticed that the guards at the palace gate were looking this way, so he said very simply: "There is no merit, and the ministers dare not accept the gift from the princess." ”

"In that case, forget it." Princess Jingrou closed the box, raised her head, and quickly walked past Huo Qingsong's side without looking at him.

Huo Qingsong glanced back at Princess Jingrou strangely, a little incredulous that she just left. I remember that when the two met before, Princess Jingrou was very pestering, and she never left so eloquently as today. Could it be that she gave up, no, with her temperament, she wouldn't let go lightly. Turning his head, Huo Qingsong's expression was a little solemn and slowly walked out of the palace gate.

After Huo Qingsong left the place, Princess Jingrou walked back alone. Standing where she had just stood, Princess Jingrou looked in the direction of the palace gate, as if she had seen the background of Huo Qingsong's departure. Soon, the corners of her mouth raised, and she sneered: "Isn't it just a little folk lady who can make wine, even if she is as beautiful as a fairy, how can she have the qualifications to be the mistress of the General's Mansion......"
