He Sifeng touched his nose in a wry, and couldn't help but defend Hu Hua twice: "You can't blame him for this matter, I am also responsible for it, and we didn't investigate General Hu being poisoned, so Hu Hua came to this point." ”

Han Xiaoxiao didn't bother to say anything else, turned around and went back to his house, He Sifeng saw that it was dark, and walked towards his yard after drinking the last sip of tea.

After the plague was lifted, the capital finally returned to its original bustling appearance, He Sifeng had been worried that Han Xiaoxiao would solve this matter before leaving, but seeing that she didn't mean that, his heart was a lot more stable.

Within a few days, Hu Hua hurriedly came to the door, "Why do you still have the leisure to drink tea here? ”

These words were not clear, Han Xiaoxiao turned to look at He Sifeng, who was dazed on the side, and then asked: "Isn't it calm down in the capital now?

Hu Hua was out of breath and couldn't speak, choked when he heard the words, and hurriedly took a sip of water before saying: "It's not a matter of the prince's struggle, it's the emperor who suddenly decreed that he was going to choose a concubine, but all the daughters of good people must participate in the draft, even you are no exception." ”

Han Xiaoxiao's hand shook violently, and the already overflowing tea in the teacup instantly spilled a lot, and He Sifeng even slapped the table and jumped up: "This is simply unheard of, when did the royal family's selection of concubines become mandatory, and the emperor is at this age, is he crazy?"

Hu Hua glanced at Han Xiaoxiao with a bitter expression on his face, as if he wanted to say something, but he held it back again, just kept drinking the tea in the cup.

He Sifeng and the two of them have been together for a long time, and they can see that these two people are tired at once, so he snorted coldly and said slowly: "Did something happen when you went to the palace that day? ”

Hu Hua glanced at Han Xiaoxiao, didn't know how to speak, coughed, covered his face with a cup, pretended to drink water, and didn't speak for a long time.

He Sifeng put the teacup in his hand heavily on the table, stared straight at Han Xiaoxiao and said: "Don't you tell me too?" Don't you ask me to ask His Royal Highness King Cheng, now that the Gu poison on the two of us has been lifted, even if we go to Qingchan, I have to ask clearly." ”

Han Xiaoxiao saw that he couldn't be fooled, so he hurriedly stopped He Sifeng, and said helplessly: "This matter is a long story, that is, we met the emperor on the day we entered the palace, and he seemed to be a little interested in me, but fortunately, I haven't taken off my scarf yet." I think he also gave an order at random, not necessarily for me, besides, my marriage at my age is a little younger after all, even if it is a royal family, it can't go against human ethics, right. ”

Hu Hua didn't think it was a big deal, and came over: "Don't worry about it, the royal family still has a way, if the emperor is not old and takes a fancy to it, you can take it to the palace to raise it, and then canonize it when you are old." ”

Han Xiaoxiao really didn't know this regulation, so he glared at Hu Hua fiercely, looked at He Sifeng with an ugly face and comforted: "Although the words are so, the emperor still has to take into account his age, and he should not choose someone who is too younger than his age, you just relax." ”

Hu Hua opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Han Xiaoxiao quickly stuffed the glutinous rice cake on the table into his mouth, blocking the unspoken words.

He Sifeng thought for a while, took a sip of tea gloomily before saying: "This matter cannot be underestimated, if it is really fancied, even His Royal Highness King Cheng has no choice, now we have to strike first." ”

Hu Hua is not very worried, he knows Han Xiaoxiao's ability, even if the emperor is really forced to marry, Han Xiaoxiao can escape as long as he uses a little trick, but He Sifeng cares and doesn't understand this.

"Don't worry, besides, is there anything better you can do now that it's over?"

He Sifeng's eyes rolled, and he looked at Hu Hua fixedly, as if he had some bad idea, Hu Hua inexplicably felt a chill in his neck, shrank back, and tried to swallow some of the glutinous rice cakes left in his mouth before saying: "What are you watching me do?" My family has been a military general for generations, but I can't hinder the emperor's thoughts, let alone advise." ”

He Sifeng changed his anxiety, glanced at him meaningfully, and then said slowly: "I naturally know General Hu's ability, and I didn't ask your father to do anything for us, why are you in such a hurry." ”

Hu Hua and He Sifeng, even if they didn't grow up together, have had a lot of dealings, and at this time, when they saw his appearance, they knew that nothing was good, so they resisted the urge to turn around and leave, and asked tentatively: "Then tell me about this matter, what can our father and son help with?"

Han Xiaoxiao was also a little curious, sitting on the chair and staring at He Sifeng, suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but interject: "Speaking of methods, I have thought of one, didn't I say that the royal concubine must be an unmarried girl, as long as I have a marriage, it will be fine, even if it is the emperor at that time, he will not be able to forcibly break up other people's marriages, so Hu Hua is a good choice." ”

He Sifeng's face that had just improved instantly darkened, and he snorted coldly and raised his voice to interrupt Han Xiaoxiao's words: "Don't say that, Hu Hua is General Hu's only son, and in the future, he will either marry a noble girl from a high family or Princess Shang, where are you worthy of him." ”

Hu Hua only felt that these words were full of sourness and threats, and he shook his head helplessly and echoed: "What you said makes sense, then tell me what good ideas you have come up with?"

He Sifeng coughed and then said slowly: "I heard that there are many adjutant generals under General Hu who sacrificed their lives for the country, and there is even a famous family who died on the frontier later, right?"

Hu Hua rolled his eyes, put down the teacup in his hand, and said in a heavy voice: "Is this a new thing? How can it be that no one dies when you are a soldier fights, but when you say this, I think of that famous young general, who was only eighteen or nineteen years old when he died, which is really a pity." ”

Han Xiaoxiao didn't have as much emotion as Hu Hua, but looked at He Sifeng with some confusion and frowned and asked, "Why are you asking this?" Is it possible that you still want to marry me to a person who is already dead?"

The matter of marrying a dead person is nothing in the world, and it is not binding on mortals, but it is different for an immortal like Han Xiaoxiao.
