Chapter 62: Turning things around
Seeing that his daughter had woken up from a coma, the Qin clan hurriedly squeezed Huo Jiu Ge away, and then her anxious voice sounded: "Qingshang, are you okay?" What is wrong with your body now? As she spoke, she checked Huo Qingshang up and down, for fear that she would make a mistake.
Huo Qingshang's eyes were red, and he looked like he had been wronged but still endured, and pulled the corner of Qin's clothes and said, "Mother, I'm cold." ”
Just at this time, someone handed over the cloak, and after Qin took it, he draped it on Huo Qingshang's body, held her hand and said, "Why is this little hand cold like this, what is going on!" She turned her head suddenly, and her gaze fell on Huo Jiuge's body like a steel needle.
Everyone has an attitude of watching a good show, this young lady from the Rongguo Mansion, who has just returned to Beijing, has made such a big splash, and it seems that she is not a master to be messed with.
Huo Jiuge looked at the Qin family's mother and daughter, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he had a sense of comfort for the rest of his life, "If it wasn't for the eldest sister, then it would be me who fell into the icy lake, or the eldest sister was kind-hearted and pulled me at a critical moment." As she spoke, her eyes fell on Huo Qingshang, who was trembling coldly: "It is rumored in Beijing that the eldest lady of the Huo family is as beautiful as a fairy and talented, and now she looks like a bodhisattva."
"If I accidentally fall into this lake this time, I'm afraid I won't have the same good luck as my cousin." She said and looked at Xiao Chengji on the side, referring to something meaningfully.
Xiao Chengji was taken aback, he didn't expect Huo Jiuge, a girl, to be so sharp-toothed, and in a few words, she led the fire to her head, obviously she and Huo Qingshang had nothing, but now she said this but it had an extra meaning: "What nonsense are you talking about?" I saw you pushing people down."
"The third prince must not say that." Huo Jiuge hurriedly interrupted him, and then said with a panicked face: "What am I doing pushing my cousin down so decently?" And in front of everyone, am I going to die? If you don't believe me, ask your cousin to see if she was pushed down by me! ”
Huo Qingshang was stunned, she didn't expect Huo Jiuge to wear such a big hat for herself, if she followed the words of the three princes, outsiders would definitely guess the relationship between them, there were so many people at the banquet, the three of them became tigers, she didn't dare to think that there would be any outrageous rumors coming out of everyone's mouths later, if she followed Huo Jiuge's words, she would offend the three princes again, and suddenly she fell into a dilemma.
Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, everyone had an answer in their hearts, and they all tacitly agreed that what Huo Jiuge said was the truth of the matter.
Although Xiao Chengji grew up in the hands of women, what he learned since he was a child is the way of a gentleman, as well as the strategy of the court, where do you know the woman's mind.
However, after this incident, he also understood what it means that only women and villains are difficult to raise, and the sentence that would rather offend a gentleman than a villain.
Not to mention that he offended a female villain! He was speechless by Huo Jiuge for half a day, or King Rui transferred from the middle, and he asked the person who fell into the water to change his clothes first, and he became infected with a wind chill at that time.
After calming Xiao Chengji's emotions, he glared at Huo Jiuge viciously when he turned around, as if he was complaining that she had messed up this Qujiang banquet.
Huo Jiuge was not afraid of his fierce eyes at all, she tilted her head as if she didn't see anything, and at this time, Princess Rui supported her body and said, "You are also stained with water, so let's go down with me and change into clean clothes." ”
The original owner left Huo Jiuge with little impression of this Rui princess in her memory, she only remembered that when she did not marry into the palace and became the princess, the relationship between the two families was very good, and after the accident of the original owner's parents, her brother Huo Chengqi inherited his father's will and became the youngest general in the entire Northern Zhou Dynasty, and rarely went home after being stationed at the border, and after two years, Jiang Huaying, who was the daughter of the prime minister, married the current prince and became the honorable hostess of the Rui Palace.
It is worth mentioning that the Jiang family is the maiden family of the current Queen Mother, and the status of King Rui's biological mother is low, he has always grown up beside the Queen Mother, and later married the Queen Mother's niece, which is difficult for people not to think about the relationship.
Now among the many princes in the emperor, there are only three adults, and the one with the least sense of existence is the second prince who grew up in the Western Regions as a proton since childhood, and his mother is a member of the Yi tribe, and it is estimated that the ending waiting for him should be the position of a prince.
You must know that the Northern Zhou Dynasty is the most particular about bloodline and family, King Rui is backed by the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister's family to have his current achievements, not to mention Xiao Chengji, his mother is the queen, and his uncle is now the most powerful minister.
In the future, except for the crown prince, if nothing else, it will definitely be selected between the two of them.
After Huo Jiuge changed her clothes, Princess Rui saw her plain appearance, so she took off the hairpin on her head and gave it to her.
"Princess Rui can't help this, the courtiers have already been taken care of by you a lot, so how can you be embarrassed to take your things again." Huo Jiuge resigned vigorously.
"I haven't seen you for many years, but Jiu Ge has grown up a lot." Princess Rui looked at the vivid and delicate face in front of her, but she didn't know why she felt melancholy, her beautiful eyes sank, and her eyes were hidden under her eyelashes: "Now that I see you like this, I don't even have a shadow of before." ”
Huo Jiuge caught the injured expression that flashed in her eyes, and said, "I just don't want to cause trouble to Sister Huaying." ”
"You're flexible." Princess Rui doesn't remember the last time someone called her by her name, but now she listens to Huo Jiuge calling her name coldly, and she actually has a feeling of being in a different world.
"But that's fine, at least no one can bully you." She had a smile of relief on her face, as if she had watched her sister grow up.
She knows all the rumors about their family in the capital, but this world is unfair to women, even if she is distressed, she can't do anything.
But fortunately, the face of the Rongguo Mansion is supported by Huo Chengqi, and now Huo Jiuge has grown up and has become an adult who is in charge alone.
The two chatted alone for a while, until Princess Rui's mother and sister came to look for her.
Jiang Ruoyun and Huo Qingshang had a good relationship, so when she saw her sister being so close to Huo Jiuge, she was a little jealous, she walked to Princess Rui's side, deliberately squeezed the distance between her and Huo Jiuge, and then leaned on her body and said coquettishly: "My sister hasn't come back to see me for a long time." ”
"Your sister is now a wife, how can she run to her mother's house at two ends in three days?" The Prime Minister's wife explained to her why.
Let her say these words less, so as not to cause trouble for the princess after others listen to them.
Generally, after an ordinary woman gets married, if it is not a particularly important matter, she cannot go back to her parents' house, even if she wants to go back, then she must be accompanied by her husband, if the married daughter runs to her mother's house every three days, it will be regarded by outsiders as she has been wronged in her husband's family, or she has some ulterior secrets in her mother's family.
Even ordinary people have to follow this kind of red tape, not to mention that Jiang Huaying is married to a prince, and the manpower and material resources consumed by her return to the door once are immeasurable.
As for the others in Mengshi's mouth, Huo Jiuge looked around and found that he was the only outsider here.
Considering that Princess Rui hadn't seen her family for a long time, she found an excuse to go out and leave them room for a family.
