73. Chapter 73
"Hehe, who told me that before I passed the door, you started to think about the dowry of other people?!" Princess Huofeng smiled, obviously joking with Du Long.
She was right, after all, this fief should be the princess's dowry, and in the end everyone is also her, but usually this fief is at the disposal of the horse.
"Hehe, I don't care about your dowry either!I'm just a little curious!yes, I'm definitely just curious!" Du Long said with a cheeky smile.
"Cut!" Princess Huofeng was very unimpressed by his insincere appearance, and turned to pretend to be mysterious: "Do you want to know why my father and the emperor want to reward us with Fengli County?!"
"Do you know why?!" Du Long's eyes lit up.
"That's nature!" Princess Huofeng said proudly: "It is related to the future glory and wealth of this princess, so I naturally have to care about the situation of the fief, so I specially asked the grandfather of the Emperor Taishang yesterday where to make a fief, and his old man recommended this place!"
"Dare to love is this fiefdom where birds don't that you personally asked?, it won't be the Emperor Taishang who lied to you, right?!" Du Long suddenly shouted with a look of realization.
"What do you mean a fiefdom where birds don't?!" Princess Huofeng obviously didn't like Du Long's wording very much, her mouth was raised high, and she looked angry and said angrily: "Hmph! Grandpa Taishang loves Xiaofeng so much, he won't lie to others!"
"Hehe, Xiaofeng, don't be angry, I'm just joking with you!" Seeing that she was a little angry, Du Long could only laugh and say: "By the way, did the Emperor Taishang and his old man say why he recommended you to make Fengli County a fief?"
"Grandpa Taishang said, those good places have been rewarded for so many years, if you choose some fiefdoms that are not up or down, it is better to choose a place with more potential, he also said, Fengli County is rich in land, but it has not been able to really develop! Once several major problems are solved, it will definitely be a good place to make money!"
"Oh! It seems that grandpa said that if you want to make Fengli County have more oil and water, you have to rely on your own efforts!
They were there to talk about the fiefdom issue one after another, and some people couldn't help but come up to toast, so they could only stop this topic for the time being, after all, the future is long!
Since someone took the lead in coming up to toast, the others immediately followed, there were officials at all levels of the dynasty, a group of relatives and friends, as well as the students and mentors of the Royal Academy, not only Zhao Yan, the first-year head teacher of the Martial Arts Department, came, but even the dean of the Royal Academy, the old man and his wife, came to help with their faces.
When the two elders came up to toast together, Du Long, who had already drunk red-faced, hurriedly flattered and pulled Princess Huofeng to stand up, and toasted a big glass with them before it was finished.
During this period, Du Long and Huo Feng also accepted the toast of Fan, Li, and Zhao with a smirk, people participate in your engagement banquet regardless of their previous suspicions, you can't have a face without grace, right?
In short, after the entire engagement banquet, he was just busy dealing with the toasts of the guests, but fortunately, now that his strength has reached the second order of the cyclone, the amount of alcohol has also risen, and the alcohol volatilizes very quickly in the body.
But even so, he was so drunk that he didn't know how to get back to the new house, and he couldn't even remember whether there was a cave room, and he was woken up by a noise at three o'clock the next day.
"Husband, get up, the sun is on your buttocks!" a shrill cry sounded in his ears, waking Du Long from his sweet sleep.
Shaking his head, which was still a little dizzy, he opened his eyes and saw a big face blocking in front of him, only to see Princess Huofeng looking at him excitedly and smirking.
"Huh?!Xiaofeng, why are you here?!" Du Long asked a strange question in a daze.
Princess Huofeng immediately quit, pouted and pretended to be angry: "Hmph! In the past, you drove people away all day long and didn't let me follow you, but now you are all engaged and still like this! People are very angry, and the consequences are very serious!"
Hearing the word engagement, Du Long came to his senses, and dared to love that after being divorced, he now has a fiancée, and she is also the princess of the fire phoenix in the dynasty!
"Hehe, what's the matter, haven't you just gotten engaged and haven't gotten used to it for a while!" Du Long realized that he had inadvertently said the wrong thing, and hurriedly laughed.
"Hmph! Don't take it as an example!" Princess Huofeng herself was pretending to be angry, and when she saw him say this, she naturally had nothing to say, so she continued to urge: "Hurry up and get up and wash up! You drank from afternoon to evening yesterday, oh my God! You can drink too well! I have hardly stopped all day, I advise you to drink less and return the murderer!"
"Did I kill you? Why don't I remember?!" Du Long pretended to have amnesia, but his mind flashed the picture of him being the one who came when others toasted yesterday, and then Xiaofeng persuaded himself not to drink too much and was loudly refused.
"Alas, forget it! people don't care about drunks!" Huo Feng could only sigh, and waited for Du Long to get up and change clothes, where did she, the princess of a thousand daughters, do such a thing, in short, she didn't help, but she helped a lot.
Just when he was in chaos, a thought flashed through Du Long's mind, and he couldn't hold back for a moment before asking: "That...... Last night...... We didn't have that last night, did we?!"
"Phew, phew, what are you big-headed ghost! People went back to the palace to rest last night, and they just came here from the palace, and it turned out that you lazy pig was still sleeping!" Princess Huofeng naturally understood the meaning of Du Long's words, and explained with some surprise.
"Oh......" Du Long replied with a pretended disappointment.
"Stinky boy, you have a bad mind!Hmph, look at you so sexy, tell me honestly, are you already that or something with Qinglian?!" Princess Huofeng's eyes showed a dangerous light, it was obvious that as long as Du Long dared to say a word, she would definitely pounce on him and tear him to pieces.
"Ahh
Unexpectedly, there was a shadow walking into the door of the wing room, Xia Qinglian walked into the wing room with washing water, and after hearing the meaning of Princess Huofeng's words, she was obviously frightened, and her feet were weak and she almost didn't throw the basin in her hand.
"Ha! Qinglian, are you here?!" Du Long was facing the direction of the door of the wing room, and at a glance he saw Xia Qinglian blushing with shame, holding a basin of hot water at a loss, taking the opportunity to change the topic and relieve her embarrassment.
"Childe, Qinglian fetched hot water to wash you!" Xia Qinglian lowered her head, her voice was as small as a mosquito, and she said respectfully to Huofeng: "Qinglian has seen Princess Huofeng!"
Huofeng hurriedly turned around and greeted him, took the basin from Qinglian's hand, and said a little unhappily: "Qinglian! How many times have I said it?
"Qinglian, Qinglian doesn't dare!" Xia Qinglian still couldn't let go, with a restrained look.
"Qinglian! Xiaofeng is right! The three of us have a friend relationship, and now there is an extra layer of family relationship, and there are no outsiders here, so you can just call your name in the future! It's not good to see too outside!" Du Long also opened his mouth to persuade.
"Yes, Childe!" Xia Qinglian nodded in response, but looking at her performance, she still couldn't let go, obviously, it was unrealistic to eliminate the impact of Du Long's engagement on her yesterday, so she could only take her time.
"Come on! Qinglian come over to help me wash up, I'm hungry too, let's go out to eat together!" In order to prevent Xia Qinglian from continuing to be so restrained, Du Long could only pretend to naturally ask her to come over and help wash up, so that she would not be so embarrassed if she had something to do.
Princess Huofeng obviously understood what he meant, and immediately said with a smile: "I'll help too!"
So, the two girls helped Du Long to freshen up together, during which Princess Huofeng deliberately had nothing to say to chat with Xia Qinglian, and with her sincere smile, she quickly dispelled the estrangement in the heart of this beauty, and Qinglian's face gradually flashed a smile.
In this regard, Du Long is in his eyes and happy in his heart!
Regardless of whether Xia Qinglian accepts her engagement to Princess Huofeng, this matter, no matter how much, will hurt her heart, now that Princess Huofeng is so understanding, presumably the worry in Qinglian's heart will soon be disintegrated!
After washing, when I got out of the wing, I found that Su Jinbao and Yuan Yu were sitting in the courtyard, and the two were looking at Du Long with an admiring expression, although it is normal for polygamy in this world, it is difficult for a concubine, especially if it is not an imperial concubine!
The reason doesn't need to be explained, everyone knows it!
"You're all here! It just so happens that our brothers won't be eating at home today, so let's call Sister Caini, let's go out and find a better restaurant to have a good meal together! You two have been in my Du Mansion for so many days, and I haven't had time to invite you out for a good meal!" Du Long said loudly to Su Yuan and the others with a smile.
"Recently, you have been busy getting engaged to the princess, and it is normal that you don't have time to greet us! By the way, a little caution, I wish you a good brother's engagement, this is the gift that Yuan Yu and I specially chose to Jumbo Zhai!" Su Jinbao patted Du Long's shoulder in understanding, and then turned over his hand and took out a palm-sized box and handed it to Du Long.
"You kid, you're actually wearing a space ring?!It seems that your Su family is really not an ordinary rich person!" Su Jinbao turned his hand and conjured up a box of gifts, and was immediately discovered by Du Long that this kid was actually wearing a space ring on his hand.
Space rings are rare in this world, and Du Long doesn't dare to let outsiders know about having space rings, so it can be seen that Su Jinbao obviously regards them as real good friends, so he doesn't mind being told that they have a space ring.
"Wow! It's really a space ring!Woo, people have always wanted his father to give him a space ring, but he just refused, and said that he would not give it until the big day of marrying Du Long in the future!" Princess Huofeng said with envy.
It wasn't surprising that she would say that, everyone present knew the preciousness of the Space Ring, so it was not surprising to her words!
