Chapter 43 Self-recommended pillow seats
"Take Brother Qian away? This ......"
To tell the truth, Hua Luo really thought that Xiahou Qian's mother came to beg her to ask her to pardon the exile of Xiahou's family.
Of course, she will not agree easily, at least to investigate why the Xiahou family was exiled, and whether it is worth pardoning.
Xiahou Qian's mother saw that Hua Luo did not agree immediately, and boasted to herself: "Your Highness, although Qian'er is older, he is good-looking, gentle and obedient, smart and clever since childhood, has studied piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and writes good articles, and his talent is no worse than that of the noble son in Beijing, you can't be wrong to leave him by your side and bring him back to the capital." β
Facing Xiahou Qian's mother's attentive and hot gaze, Hua Luo didn't speak for a long time, she is now not qualified to be an official, and according to the convention, she can only promote a confidant and a minister.
Every Wang Ji has a henchman who has an IQ and appearance online, who helps with everything underneath, the cronies among the cronies, and the kind that can help warm the bed, not to mention lovers, at least at the level of Lanyan's confidant.
When Wang Ji is married, the henchmen and ministers are either accepted as a legitimate husband or accepted as a male waiter, and after such a trend, if it is said that Wang Ji and the henchmen are innocent, it is estimated that no one will believe it.
Since Xiahou Qian's mother was exiled by a demoted official, it is impossible not to understand this truth.
Knowing this, Xia Houqian's mother still begged her like this, saying that if she was rough, wouldn't she just send Xia Houqian to her bed?
Rao is like this, Hua Luo still reminded: "Although the prince can be a regent, he is not qualified to directly promote commoners to officials, if you really want me to take him away, why don't you let Brother Qian be my confidant and minister?" β
"The meaning of the confidant minister, Mrs. must be very clear, but what should I do if I am a good girl? Didn't she and Brother Qian have had a marriage contract since they were children? β
When asked about Qiao Nu, Mrs. Xiahou was not surprised at all, and hurriedly said: "The people will raise Qiao Nu as their own daughter, and find another good family for her when she grows up." β
Hua Luo did not agree or refuse, but found Xiahou Qian and decided to tell him about it.
"Brother Qian, what are you doing?"
Xiahou Qian waved his hand: "His Royal Highness will return to Beijing in advance tomorrow, how can the grass people afford His Highness's brother, His Royal Highness is more likely to be a prince and will be in trouble, please be careful." β
"Okay, Xiahou." Hua Luo changed her name, and looked down to see what Xia Houqian was writing, "This is?" β
Xia Houqian explained: "Aunt Zhang next door asked Caomin to help write a letter for her. β
Hua Luo picked up the letter paper and looked at it, and said approvingly: "Your letter is well written, but I didn't expect you to have some literary talent." β
"Don't dare to be." Xiahou Qian was humble, "Before I came to Yanzhou, the grass people were also officials, and I used to ask Mr. to teach the grass people, but I had a little more ink than others." β
"Your father?" Hua Luo thought about something, "Xiahou, your father is the Lord Xiahou Yunjing who was degraded because he was too outspoken and angered his mother three times and twice?" β
Xiahou Qian looked at Hua Luo and was very surprised: "His Royal Highness originally knew the father of the grass people. β
"Actually, the queen mother had already given Lord Xiahou the steps to go down at that time, but if he knew how to be flexible and soft, your family would not have fallen into this field."
"He is very talented, but he doesn't know how to be an official, I heard that Lord Xiahou himself was in exile halfway through the blood surge, did not eat or drink, and died of excessive grief and anger, which is sad and lamentable."
Referring to his father's death, Xiahou Qian sighed: "Time is also, life is also, my father has always been like this, Your Majesty can be regarded as redressing the grievances of his father, and Xiahou's family can't complain about others when they fall into this field." β
"That's right." Hua Luo's words changed, "Your mother just recommended a pillow to me for you, what do you think?" β
"What? Self-recommended pillow seat? Xiahou Qian was stunned.
"She wants me to take you away from Yanzhou and stay with me, but I'm still a prince, so I can't give you an official directly, if I promise her, you can only stay by my side and be a minister."
"I don't say anything about your mother's words for the time being, I want to hear what you mean."
Seeing that Xia Houqian didn't speak for a while, Hua Luo blindly guessed whether Xia Houqian didn't understand his attitude, so he didn't dare to express his position.
"We've known each other for five years, and you're more pleasing to the eye than ordinary teenagers, you can draw and write, and you can sing well."
"The most important thing is that your fiancΓ©e, Qiaonu, is not only unable to speak, but also disfigured her appearance and has a somewhat lame foot, and you don't dislike her at all in this situation, and I also like it when someone does this to me."
"Anyway, when I return to Beijing, when I am fifteen or sixteen years old, my mother will also give me Zhang Luo's marriage partner, and my husband will have it sooner or later, if you agree......
"Your Highness! The grass people have a marriage contract, and they must not be. Xiahou Qian blurted out.
When Hua Luo heard this, her face was slightly gloomy: "You mean you don't want to?" You really think about it, if you miss this opportunity, maybe you will have to stay in Yanzhou for the rest of your life, and you will never have a chance to leave, and your mother said that after you leave with me, she will take good care of Qiaonu and find her a new home. β
Xia Houqian felt slightly unhappy after Hua Luo was rejected, but he still straightened his waist and spoke loudly.
"That being said, how can the agreed things be changed casually, a promise has always been worth a thousand gold, the grass people and Qiao Nu are baby relatives set since childhood, even if as the mother said, she will find a new home for Qiao Nu, but she will really not be bullied and wronged when she marries into another family in this situation? If this is the case, His Royal Highness will let the grass people feel at ease and return to Beijing with you to enjoy the glory and wealth. β
"His Royal Highness's favor is commendable, it is the blessing of the third generation of grass people, to put it from the bottom of my heart, with His Royal Highness's words just now, it is worth it for the grass people to die, but the grass people must not break the contract for their own selfish interests and leave behind the good girl."
"Didn't Your Highness just say that you like the grass people's attitude towards Qiao Nu? If the grass people really promised His Highness to leave Qiao Nu and return to Beijing with His Highness, is this what His Highness wants to see? Please forgive your sins. β
Xiahou Qian said, already kneeling.
"Okay." Hua Luo was silent for a while, and finally spoke, "You are also affectionate and righteous, then, Xiahou, do you want to go back to the capital with me?" β
"Your Highness, this ......"
Xia Houqian didn't understand why Hua Luo turned the topic back again.
"I didn't mean that." Hua Luo simply said, "You just said do you want to go back to Beijing?" β
"Yes."
Xiahou nodded slightly, who wants to stay in a place like Yanzhou and don't want to go back to the capital.
"I can promote you to be a confidant, you go back to Beijing with me, and you can also bring Qiao Nu with you, but you also know what it means to be a henchman around Wang Ji, you and I may be ambiguous in the eyes of outsiders, as long as we have a clear conscience with each other."
"Let's hide the matter of Qiao Nu for the time being, and wait until one day I will be the emperor and then re-title you as a foreign minister, and then Qiao Nu will be able to come out openly, what do you think?"
