Chapter 19: First Strikes Stronger
Three days later.
The day of the enthronement ceremony of Feng Qingye.
Luo Shuiyi looked at the red boxes decorated with big red flowers in the courtyard in astonishment, stood for a long time, walked over and opened them.
"Uh...... Can anyone tell me what's going on? Luo Shuiyi looked at the boxes of jewelry and jade, silk brocade, and some couldn't turn around.
"Dowry." Hua Lingyu leaned under the plane tree, looking at her gently, like a perched phoenix, beautiful and luxurious.
"Give...... It's mine? Luo Shuiyi muttered.
"Sort of. But it should be the father-in-law who accepts the dowry. Hua Lingyu walked over to her and gently hugged her into her arms.
Luo Shuiyi suddenly pushed him away and said angrily: "There is something wrong with you!" Even if you make up your mind, you can't give so much! What do we spend in the future? β
"Uh-huh! Before I got married, my elbow was already crutched outside! Luo Yuanshan walked over and glared at Luo Shuiyi dissatisfied.
"It was meant to be!" Luo Shuiyi disobeyed the discipline and said: "Look at it, this yard is full of white flowers and silver!" Brother Chiba's hard work for a year has been in vain! β
Hua Lingyu gently smoothed her hair: "You can earn it again when the silver is gone, but my beauty is a priceless treasure, and these are just used to send my father-in-law away." β
"What did you say?" Luo Yuanshan jumped to his feet: "Send it? You actually use the word to send me! I'm angry, my daughter won't marry you anymore! β
Hua Lingyu looked at her future father-in-law for a long time, and said arrogantly: "You did the master? β
"......" Luo Yuanshan was angry: "I'm her son, I can't be the master?" β
Hua Lingyu said quietly: "You raised her for four years, and I ...... Thirteen years ......"
"Uh......" Luo Yuanshan took care of the loss, and turned to look at his daughter: "You just let him bully you Lao Tzu?" β
"Huh? Did he bully you? Why didn't I see it? Senior brother didn't make a move......" Luo Shuiyi's face was full of question marks.
"......" Luo Yuanshan took a mouthful of Ling Xiao blood in his chest, and his handsome old face turned the color of pig liver.
"Okay, why are you still arguing with juniors at such an old age, you are really going back the more you live." Mrs. Luo walked over with a smile, and while cheering for her own husband who was angry, she asked, "The enthronement ceremony is over?" β
Luo Yuanshan nodded and said: "The new emperor's wrist is even tougher than the previous emperor, all the ministers of the court who participated in the coup d'Γ©tat were killed, and there was a lot of fresh blood from the martial arts that entered the previous dynasty." The two sons of the first village in the world were named generals according to the merits of King Qin. The new emperor will be a good emperor if he appoints people on the basis of merit. β
Mrs. Luo chuckled: "No matter what, as long as our family is safe and healthy, I don't have the heart to care about anything else." She looked at Hua Lingyu and said, "Although we handed over our daughter to you thirteen years ago, now I still have to tell you to treat our family Yi'er well." β
Hua Lingyu looked at Luo Yuanshan and his wife seriously, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry." β
Mrs. Lowe smiled with satisfaction.
Luo Yuanshan snorted coldly unconvinced, and then said with a sigh of relief: "The dowry is also down, even if your family affairs are decided, now, even the emperor can't interfere in your affairs." β
Hua Lingyu narrowed her eyes and said, "If he interferes, I will cut off his hand!" β
Luo Shuiyi quietly took a few steps back, the recent momentum of this demon has become more and more terrifying, it is estimated that he has been holding back the fire in his stomach and has nowhere to go, and he is becoming more and more irritable, it is better to stay away from him, cherish life, and stay away from demons.
At dinner, the emperor sent an edict from the palace asking the prime minister's family to attend the dinner tomorrow night. And it also emphasizes that it is "family".
The messenger was none other than Ouyang Luo, who looked at Hua Lingyu with some embarrassment, and argued: "I just truthfully conveyed the master's order, you...... Don't you look at me like an enemy? The war between the two countries is not yet killed, I am a little minion who sends a message and runs errands, you can let me go. β
Luo Shuiyi said with a smile: "Yo, our newly baked Imperial First Rank with a knife guard, General Ouyang, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, is a little minion, tsk, how can you make the real little minion embarrassed?" β
Ouyang Luo said bitterly: "If I can stay with Xiao Han, I would rather be a nameless little minion." β
Luo Shuiyi chuckled when he heard this, motioned for him to sit down, poured him a cup of tea with his own hands, and then sighed and said, "That's it, I'll let Xiao Han leave Acacia Building temporarily and follow you for a while." You have to take good care of him for me. β
Ouyang Luo was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, he looked at Luo Shuiyi blankly and said, "You let Xiao Han leave...... You let ............ You ......" he suddenly raised his voice in astonishment, "You mean you are...... Belch! β
Before Ouyang Luo shouted out, Hua Lingyu clicked his dumb hole in time.
"......" Ouyang Luo's round eyes were filled with tears, and he looked at Hua Lingyu accusatory, who looked at him coldly.
"Well, you promise that if you don't call out, I'll give you an acupuncture." Luo Shuiyi said kindly.
Ouyang Luo nodded busily.
Luo Shuiyi relieved his dumb acupoint and said: "Xiao Qi's obsession is too deep, I see that you won't be able to leave alive for a while, so we have to be wronged by Xiao Han." But Xiao Han is so simple, he can't cope with your environment at all, I'm afraid he will be hurt. So, in fact, this method is very risky. β
Ouyang Luo was silent for a while, looked at Luo Shuiyi and said seriously, "Can you give me a little more time?" I will never let Xiao Han be wronged. Although Xiao Han rarely mentioned and did not hold a grudge against his past, Ouyang Luo knew that he really hated the environment of officialdom and those people.
After the battle with Feng Qingzhi, Ouyang Luo was not lightly injured. He was Feng Qingye's most powerful assistant by his side, and naturally many people came to care about him, so Qing Han couldn't wait to leave after dressing his wounds carefully.
In the next few days, during his recuperation, there was an endless stream of important officials of the court who came to talk to him, and every time Qinghan came to see him, he would avoid those people, and as long as someone came, Qinghan would leave. After going back and forth, Ouyang Luo discovered this problem.
His Xiaohan is pure-minded, but he is also very inferior, and he is always afraid that he will leave him, so even if he doesn't like those people, he won't say it because of his relationship, for fear that he will hate him because of it.
Xiao Han's world is very small, there are only a few people in total, and he Ouyang Luo is a very important part of his world, but when he finds that there are many other people in Ouyang Luo's world besides him, many of them are even people he doesn't like, he will feel that Ouyang Luo doesn't need him, this recognition makes him a little panicked, and then he will hide alone and be silently sad.
And how could Ouyang Luo let this kind of thing happen again and again? How could he bear to make Xiao Han scared and sad because of his selfishness? Therefore, he, Ouyang Luo, wants to give Xiao Han a stable happiness with his own strength.
Ouyang Luo's meaning, Luo Shuiyi understood, she said approvingly: "Okay, if you need it, you can come to me for help at any time." β
Ouyang Luo said sincerely: "Thank you, Miss, thank you very much!" "Thank you for saving Xiao Han back then, thank you for bringing Xiao Han to me, and thank you for supporting our intolerable relationship.
This Ouyang Luo went back to recover his life with gratitude, but Feng Qingye was so angry that his face turned pale.
"Good! Hua Lingyu, you are really calculating! He gritted his teeth, word by word with a cold hatred.
Unexpectedly, while he was busy with the enthronement matters, Yi'er's matter was decided, and Ren Feng calculated it at night, but he didn't expect Hua Lingyu to come to such a trick to draw salary.
Looking at his master's frosty face, Ouyang Luo silently stood aside and watched his nose and heart, not daring to say a word.
Just as the temperature in the imperial study was about to drop below zero, a little eunuch came to report that it was the ninth princess who asked to see her.
Feng Qingye was stunned and said, "Xuan." Luo, you go down first. β
Ouyang Luo secretly breathed a sigh of relief and took the order to leave.
