In the blink of an eye, it has reached the twentieth month of the lunar month, and the sky of Daliang is dim, and there is no light.

It's like the evening in the middle of the day.

A half-starry snow fell from the sky, fell to the ground and quickly disappeared without a trace.

Gradually, the fine snow like broken jade turned into a goose feather-like snow, sprinkled over Daliang City.

The southwest of the girder is close to the location of the imperial palace, and there are magnificent courtyards sitting on it.

This is what the people of Daliang call 'noble street'.

Many dignitaries, royal relatives and relatives have purchased real estate here and settled here.

Huo Mansion is also among them.

At this time, with the heavy snowfall, the pavilions and pavilions in Huo's Mansion have been covered with a thin layer of snow.

Huo Xianshui, the daughter of the Huo family, was interested, and took a few maids to her courtyard to enjoy the snow.

The people held umbrellas and warmed a pot of wine behind them.

Huo Xianshui, who was wearing a purple cotton skirt, picked up a jade-like porcelain cup and took a sip.

Then I felt a burst of warmth all over my body, and I was extremely comfortable and enjoyable in this icy and snowy place.

Huo Xianshui looks weak and watery on the outside, and his apricot eyes are quite smart, but he is influenced by his family inside, and now he is a martial artist with eight grades of open pulse.

The talent is not as good as Chen Xuerong, who is also in the big beam, but compared with the children of other high-ranking officials, he is already talented.

Not long after she came to Daliang, many young talents came to pay their respects.

These people only need to guess a little to know that they are greedy for her family's power, so she doesn't have any intention of making friends, and she refuses them one by one.

"Miss, the information about the five princes has been replied to by the palace people."

"Oh, read it."

Huo Xianshui had already heard that the queen mother wanted to marry her and the Fifth Highness.

At present, their Huo family is a courtier under the rule of the Zhao clan of the Great Wei, and they accept the wish of the Zhao family, so when it comes to the royal family, she can no longer refuse casually, she must understand it clearly.

"The fifth prince, Zhao Hongming, is currently thirteen years old and lives in the East Five Institutes. After the death of the lady concubine, she was nominally to take care of the queen's mother, but in fact she has been living alone. ”

"In the palace school, there is no outstanding performance, and the bachelors have a bad impression of the five princes."

"Also, it seems that His Majesty and Empress have not summoned him for a long time, and he is a prince who has fallen out of favor."

The maid standing on one side carefully read out the contents of the letterhead.

After listening to the information of the fifth prince Zhao Hongming, Huo Xianshui frowned.

Although she is not a member of the royal family, and she doesn't know much about some flies and dogs in the palace, she still has some basic judgments.

Knowing that as the prince of Great Wei, in the case of not being able to cultivate martial arts, the focus is to have the ability to organize and coordinate various resources, and whether he is favored or not is not the decisive factor.

"What about personality?"

"I heard that the fifth prince is good at forbearance, a little withdrawn, because he has no mother since he was a child, he is more obedient, he talks little to others, and he does not make friends."

"A few months ago, he suddenly wanted to practice martial arts, and now every afternoon, Gong Xue doesn't study anymore, and he stays in his room and doesn't know what he's doing."

Huo Xianshui fell into deep thought.

Judging from this information, the five princes not only lost their grace, but also had a tendency to give up on themselves.

She won't even look at such a person.

So why would the queen mother push such a prince to her?

Huo Xianshui couldn't help but think about it.

There is no doubt that the Zhao family wants to show goodwill with their Huo family, otherwise they would not introduce a prince to her.

But pushing a prince she will not look down on, is it waiting for her to refuse?

The maid on the side said: "Miss, do you say that the mother arranged such a prince, does it have other deep meanings?" ”

"Did you find anything?"

"Miss, as far as I know, those men outside who don't have a high status, if they meet an excellent woman, they know that the other party doesn't like them, and they repeatedly stick their hot faces to their cold butts without dignity and bottom line, and they keep stalking and beating."

"The fifth prince has been powerless since he was a child, if he has the opportunity to catch up with our Huo family, will he be so stubborn and drag the eldest lady?"

Huo Xianshui said: "I don't rule out this possibility, Qin'er, I heard that Miss Chen often comes into contact with the Five Princes, what does she think of the Five Princes?" ”

Another maid said: "The slave maid specially went to Chen's mansion to inquire, and Miss Chen praised the five princes quite highly. said that he was young and old, and his majesty had skills, not only that, but also said that his appearance was outstanding, and he was particularly decent in dealing with people. ”

"How can I evaluate the difference so much?"

There is too little information in hand, and she has not yet figured out the specific intentions of the queen, so she can only respond first.

Wait for the father to be asked later, maybe the father can see through the queen's intentions.

"Xiao Tao, is the queen announcing that I will enter the palace tomorrow?"

"Yes, Miss."

"Remember to prepare a generous gift for me, and prepare one for the queen mother and the five princes."

"Miss, what are you?"

"If the fifth prince is still pleasing to the eye, I might as well get along with him and give him some charity." Huo Xianshui smiled contemptuously: "As for the future, I'll talk about it later." ”

It's up to the other party to choose.

If you don't know how to do it, it's okay to abandon it like a shoe.

"Let's go, the snow is boring to watch, so it's better to go back."

"Yes, Miss."

Huo Xianshui stood up and planned to go back to the house.

Suddenly, her whole body was cold and her hair stood upside down, and she suddenly looked up.

"Who?!"

At this moment, a fierce sword aura suddenly erupted from the shadows, as if it suddenly appeared out of thin air, and came directly at her.

The angles are tricky, and they're incredibly fast.

Huo Xianshui's eyes moved slightly, catching the trajectory of the knife.

She grabbed one of the maids beside her with one hand and held it in front of her.

"Ahh

With a scream, the maid in front of him was cut in two.

Taking advantage of the blockade, Huo Xianshui took advantage of the situation to take off.

However, before she could jump far, the next knife followed closely and slashed at her calves, cutting off both of her calves.

"Ah!!h

Blood splattered.

Huo Xianshui fell to the ground fiercely, and a human-shaped hole was pressed out of the snow, and all the snow was dyed red.

She looked panicked and cried out for help.

But before she could finish shouting.

The black shadow in front of him disappeared into the small courtyard, making Huo Xianshui feel lucky for the rest of his life.

The snow is still falling on the girders, and there is no sign of stopping.

On such a stormy day, most people will not choose to go out.

Otherwise, if you catch the cold, with the medical conditions of the ordinary people in Dawei today, it is very likely that your life will be in danger.

Even if he is a relatively strong martial artist, he has strong qi and blood, and he is less susceptible to disease than ordinary people.

But in the winter, the weather is cold, and they would rather stay at home all day and practice martial arts and walk birds than go out to play in the cold wind.

At this time, in the empty streets and alleys, a figure kept shuttling through the streets, stepping on the snow without a trace.

Slowly, the figure stopped in a hidden alley.

He was covered in black clothing.

The figure was none other than the fifth prince Zhao Hongming, who saw that there was no one around, so he took off his black coat and burned it.

Regarding the queen's conspiracy, he thought very simply.

Since there is a problem, it is good to solve the root cause of the problem.

The eldest lady of the Huo family broke her legs and became disabled.

Presumably, the queen will not be in touch with him again in the near future, and it is boring to talk to herself.

As for all the strategies of Emperor Jian'an, what does it have to do with him?

He is just an obscure and unfavored prince, and it is not his turn to intervene in the court.
