Chapter Twenty-Eight: Asking for Marriage
Yunling tiptoed to the door of Huo Chengjun's room, gently knocked on Huo Chengjun's slightly opened door, and said respectfully: "Miss, slave Yunling, what does Miss command?" After speaking, he poked his head and looked in, but he didn't dare to be bold, just poked a cautious glance, immediately retracted his head, bowed his head and stood down, waiting for the instructions of the people inside.
Huo Chengjun heard the sound, just said a word to come in, and then heard Yunling respond to the word "no", and then the sound of the back door, she pushed the door and entered, after saluting, there was no more movement.
Huo Chengjun got up, "Come with me to the Long'e Marquis Mansion, go out of the small door, and don't let others know." Huo Chengjun thought that the two were familiar with each other, and there was nothing to say, Liu Yi had hinted that he did not want to enter the palace by himself, if he added another case of the Marquis of Long Ehou's refusal to marry, his own face, where would the face of the Huo family exist? If you know Han Zeng's plan, you can come up with a countermeasure.
Huo Chengjun's indifferent words frightened Yunling, opened a pair of innocent eyes, Huo Chengjun moved, but she was still standing in place, "Miss, don't ......" shouted loudly, and ended quietly, tremblingly looked at Huo Chengjun, who turned to look at him, and knelt on the ground with a "bang".
Huo Chengjun was curious about Yunling's sudden action, and after thinking about it, he also understood, "You get up first, the old lady has me on the side, you can accompany me to this experience, if you don't want to, I'll find someone else." It was precisely because Yunping did not alarm anyone when he left that Huo Chengjun dared to have this thought, but he didn't want to embarrass Yunling.
Looking at Yunling again, since Huo Chengjun said so, he was embarrassed to say something more, although he was still afraid, he got up and followed Huo Chengjun's steps; And Huo Chengjun was also secretly glad, having said that, if Yunling really didn't follow, she didn't know who to find, although there were many maids in the house, the people who might believe in it were limited, although Yunling was timid, but after all, he was a small follower, and he was more credible than others.
Huo Chengjun is still like this in the house, and the people of the Han Palace, since Xu Pingjun entered the palace, he has often been accompanied by Liu Ill, but he has not felt too much discomfort, but in recent days, Liu Ill has been busy with the first year of the throne, and has lost the time with Xu Pingjun. On this day, Liu Zheng's illness was no longer there, Liu Zheng was asleep, and Xu Pingjun, who was sitting on the edge of his son's bed, looked at the gloomy and slowly snowy sky, and couldn't help but worry in his heart.
"It's snowing again, I wonder if Your Majesty will get drenched?" Quiet words, staring at the slightly open window, remembering that when he had not yet entered the palace, Liu Yi had never known how to take care of his body, rain and snow, and did not know how to bring an umbrella, if there was an emergency, he would brave the cold, and he always needed to remind himself to take care of him, but now he was not by his side, and he didn't know where he was, so he inevitably became worried.
"The queen doesn't have to worry, Your Majesty has her own palace people around to serve her, how can she let Your Majesty suffer from the cold." Xu Pingjun has been generous to people since he entered the palace, and it is even more rare to take the affairs of the palace people to heart, so the people who serve by her side have become less rusty over time, Xu Pingjun has no shelf, and it seems much easier to get along, so there is no need to worry about innocent suffering.
When Xu Pingjun heard this, he suddenly realized that he was relieved of his doubts, but in the blink of an eye, he floated with a touch of gloom, got up gently, looked back and did not wake up Liu Zheng, and then slowly walked to the window, gently pushed the window, and opened a crack slightly, and looked sideways, his thoughts seemed to drift into the distance, and he arrived at Changchengjun's mansion outside the palace with the cold wind.
Since entering the palace, he rarely saw his parents, not because Liu Yi had not taken care of it, but he didn't want to trouble him anymore, not only never mentioned it, but also persuaded Liu Yi to dispel the idea of letting his parents enter the palace for a while, after all, relatives live in the palace, neither conform to the rules, but also inevitably recruit people, and Xu Pingjun also knows that as long as he has a word, Liu Yi will do his best, and the final result is bound to cause dissatisfaction among the ministers of the DPRK and China. How could Xu Pingjun let him take risks.
The adoptive child knew the kindness of his parents, closed the window, went to Liu Zheng's side, looked at his quiet sleeping face, and the thoughts were even more overflowing, in the past, when the year was closed, the family always got together, and this year I am afraid that it can't be like this, enjoy the glory and wealth, but also lose the opportunity to serve his parents in front of him, and have to increase the sense of melancholy and helplessness.
Xu Pingjun was bored, and when he was thinking about it, he heard the palace maid whispering in his ear, the empress dowager came to visit, and she was full of questions to temporarily relieve the pain of homesickness, and got up and instructed the maid who was just beside him to comfort, "Mei Yin, you stay and take care of the girl", the words fell, and went to the hall.
Shangguan Youhao rarely went to the Jiaofang Palace, and this morning Fang went to ask for peace, she came here this afternoon, if she said that there was nothing to do, Xu Pingjun didn't believe it, and after retreating a few people, he said, "Youhao, what is your urgency?" As he spoke, he sat down holding hands. The two have indeed been familiar with each other since that day.
"Can't you come here if you have nothing to do? It is often said that the courtesies are still exchanged, you come to Changle Palace every day, and I can come here for a walk. Shangguan Youyu smiled slightly, just gossiping a few words, and then, he went to the inner room, looked at the sleeping Xu Pingjun, and before leaving, he said to Xu Pingjun, "Pingjun, you look like this now, I don't know how many people are a couple in their eyes...... "If life can be like this for a long time, it will be beautiful, and take a deep look at the child lying on the bed, sleeping peacefully, there is not one less child between himself and Liu Fuling, so there is now loneliness."
"The Empress Dowager, can you talk to the Empress Dowager?" Back to Changle Palace, Song Wan hurriedly asked, today is indeed as Xu Pingjun expected, Shangguan is hazy to Jiaofang Hall is not nothing, but after seeing Xu Pingjun, especially seeing Liu Zheng, thinking that their family of three is happy, the next words are stuck in the throat, and I can't say a word.
Shangguan's faint silence was exchanged for Song Wan's incomprehension, "Empress Dowager, if you don't say anything today, one day she will still know." ”
"I'll talk about it when I know." Shangguan Youhao sighed, at least at this time, she didn't want Xu Pingjun to be worried, and it was not too late to say it after the New Year, and Shangguan Youhao rarely made up her own mind.
After Huo Chengjun slipped out of the mansion smoothly, he went to the Hou Mansion, but he was not so lucky, and he happened to meet Bing Ji who came to do lobbying work.
When Bing Ji heard the words of the subordinates of the Hou Mansion, when the lord of the county lord of Mu Marriage visited him, he thought that he had heard it wrong, until he saw Huo Chengjun who came from Lianbu, and then quickly asked, "Niece, what are you doing here?" Huo Chengjun came here in person, Bing Ji couldn't help muttering in her heart, this is because she knew Han Zeng's meaning, and came to ask if she was interested, could it be that she couldn't protect the media today, and she still had to persuade her? can think about it, this Huo Chengjun is the best lady of the Huo family, so he shouldn't be so nonsense.
Seeing Bing Ji for a while, looking at himself carefully, his eyes suddenly worried, suddenly relieved, and suddenly confused, Huo Chengjun couldn't help but lower his head embarrassedly, and a red cloud appeared on his face, after all, he was an unmarried person who rarely went out of the house alone, let alone sneaked out.
Seeing Huo Chengjun like this, Bing Ji also knew that he was in conflict, so he coughed lightly and relieved his embarrassment, "Don't blame your niece." ”
Huo Chengjun smiled embarrassedly, and turned to look at Han Zeng, "Master Hou, Master Cheng is here, he knows that he is offended, but he just asks about something, and I hope that Lord Hou will not be strange and tell the truth." "To Han Zeng, Huo Chengjun has nothing to be polite to, but because Bing Ji is here, he can't be too much.
Even if Huo Chengjun thought that he had reined in, he still really scared Bing Ji, Han Zeng was a person, although he usually kept silent, but who dared not take him seriously, especially after helping Liu Ai to help his beloved wife, Huo Chengjun actually dared to talk to him like this, so frightened that Bing Ji hurriedly came out to play a round.
"Master Hou, I'm afraid that Cheng Jun is in a hurry, so please ask Master Hou Haihan." Bing Ji was full of smiles, and was scared into a cold sweat at Han Zeng's face that seemed to be smiling, and did not forget to pull Huo Chengjun, who made Huo Chengjun Huo Guang's daughter, and Huo Guang's colleagues for many years, and experienced this series of changes, for Huo Chengjun, he will naturally be a little more loving.
Han Zeng waved his hand, "Don't get in the way, I have known the county lord since childhood, and my friendship is naturally a little deeper than that of others, so there is no need to be so angry, since the county lord has something to ask, Han should know everything." Han Zeng looked at Huo Chengjun with a smile, looking unconcerned.
Seeing this, Bing Ji also confessed his guilt, left the Hou Mansion, before walking, he did not forget to whisper a few words to Huo Chengjun, as soon as he walked out of the door, he patted his chest, this trip to the Hou Mansion, it was really a few ups and downs, I thought that this family affair was impossible, how do I know that these two people met each other when they were young, looking at the appearance of Han Zeng, it is really impossible, looking up, I wanted to talk to Lao Huo about it, but God is not beautiful, yes, it is better to go back to the house in the original sedan chair.
When Bing Ji left, Han Zeng said to Huo Chengjun: "Why are you here, just ask." I don't know the purpose of Huo Chengjun's visit, but it is not difficult to see from her face that this is really something, and there is no lack of concern in her words, if princes and nobles like them did not know each other when they were young, there are very few people who can really make friends, and the two of them are the lucky couple.
"I ......" is a girl after all, with a thin face, although she wanted to ask clearly when she came, but when she came to him, she was really embarrassed to say it, and repeatedly wrung the handkerchief in her hand, her expression was full of hesitation.
After a while, he looked around, except for Yunling, there was no one else, so he mustered up the courage to ask, "What do you think about the marriage, there is a saying, and I can also have a preparation." ”
"What do you have to prepare, Chengjun, what do I think, your father should know, I just hope that you and I will not be rusty." A remark that ruthlessly rejected the marriage, but also gave his explanation.
