Chapter 150 Gossip After Dinner

Lv Hong returned home before dark, and the dull atmosphere finally came back and quickly dispersed. Lv Erniang, who had been persuaded by Song Yuan, did not ask Lv Hong, so she made people set up a warm pot. Huo Qingqing, who had been quiet for a long time, finally became lively and happily pulled Lv Xianger to get the wine.

I have to say that it is a very atmospheric thing to have a hot pot party from ancient times to the present. When I sat down, I felt the heat in the table, and my heart was very happy. Because tonight is to celebrate Lv Hong's completion of the examination, and also to wish Lv Hong a good result in the martial arts examination. Lv Erniang specially allowed Lv Hong and Lv Xianger to drink.

Hearing this, Huo Qingqing also looked like Huo Qingsong and looked at him with a pleading look. Originally, she was ready for Huo Qingsong not to agree, so she planned to plead with Lv Erniang. Unexpectedly, Huo Qingsong nodded slightly. Even Huo Qingsong, the most serious person, did not refuse. Huo Qingqing had no scruples and happily poured wine for everyone.

Lv Erniang, as a hostess, also drank some, but because Song Yuan and Huo Qingsong were beside her, she just ate some and went back to her room. Lv Xianger, Chaoxia, and Huo Qingqing also left the table after Lv Erniang and went to the west courtyard to chat. The rest of Lv Hong, Song Yuan and Huo Qingsong drank some wine and then drank soju instead.

After three rounds of wine, Song Yuan asked Lv Hong in a low voice about the meeting with Zheng Baiyang. Lv Hong squinted at Lv Erniang's room and said to Song Yuan, "Mr. Song, don't worry about Zheng Baiyang. You just need to wait for me to marry my mother into the Duke's mansion after my martial arts examination."

Song Yuan looked at Lv Hong for a long time and seemed to understand something. Then he nodded and said, "Don't worry, if your mother becomes the Duke's wife, I will protect her. I don't mind that the Duke of Song today has changed back to the 'Song Erlang' of those years.

"It's so good. Thank you, Mr. Song." Lv Hong took a look at Song Yuan and fell on the table.

Huo Qingsong looked at Lv Hong's appearance and put down the wine glass in his hand and said, "Auncle, looking at his appearance, he should not return to Zheng's house. Moreover, what he said shows that the Zheng family will not give up for the time being.

"I know. Hong Ge'er is afraid that Er Niang will be hurt." Song Yuan nodded to show that he understood what Lv Hong meant.

As he spoke, Huo Qingsong helped Lv Hong up and prepared to help him back to the East Cross Hospital. Xiao Wu found some movement outside. Seeing Huo Qingsong holding Lv Hong, he immediately rushed forward to pick up Lv Hong. Seeing that Song Yuan seemed to be still drinking, Huo Qingsong turned around and walked to the west courtyard. As soon as he reached the gate of the courtyard, Huo Qingsong heard the conversation inside.

Although Lv Xianger, Chaoxia and Huo Qingqing sat in the room, the laughter of the three still came out. Among the three people, it was obviously Huo Qingqing who was talking. Lv Xianger was asking, and the two of them would laugh at Chaoxia from time to time. When Huo Qingsong heard the three people talking about tomorrow, he immediately stopped and stood quietly at the door of the courtyard.

"Sister Chaoxia, I heard from the wet nurse that the second lady will take you with you tomorrow. Remember to change into new clothes." Huo Qingqing sat between Lv Xianger and Chaoxia and smiled secretly at Lv Xianger.

Lv Xianger understood Huo Qingqing's meaning and leaned forward. She looked at Chaoxia with a smile and said, "Sister Chaoxia, Qingqing is right. You have to dress beautifully to attract the attention of those husbands. Anyway, you are also the righteous daughter of the wife of the Duke in the future, and you will definitely find a good family.

"Don't laugh at me, don't forget, you two have that day." Chaoxia glanced at the two of them, and then thought of something. She said to Lv Xianger, "Xiang'er, why don't you go together tomorrow so that you can be a companion with me."

"That won't work. I have to go to the shop tomorrow. After a while, the winery will open. I have to take advantage of this time to brew more wine. Lu Xianger shook her head, looking very busy. But there is one thing she hasn't said in her heart, that is, on the day Lv Erniang married the State Government, Lv Xianger was ready to wrap the whole banquet.

On that day, the wine will almost ferment well. And soju can be mixed with the ordinary soju bought from Jianglingfu with a few jars of wine left before. Although the taste may be worse than that made by Lv Xianger, it must be better than that bought outside.

Huo Qingqing saw that Lu Xianger was a little distracted, and his heart came up with the intention of saying good words for his brother. Since Huo Qingqing knew that Huo Qingsong had failed, he was very disappointed and wanted to say good words for his brother in front of Lv Xianger. But I met Lv Xianger's busy wine shop, and Lv Hong will try. Huo Qingqing has never had time.

At this time, except for Lv Xianger, it was Chaoxia in this room. Huo Qingqing thought for a moment and said, "Xiang'er, I'll accompany you to the shop tomorrow. I don't want to stay in the house at all these days."

"What's the matter? Are you bored in the house again?" Lv Xianger was thinking about things in her heart and didn't care about what Huo Qingqing said.

But Huo Qingqing suddenly said, "Oh, Xianger, Sister Chaoxia, you don't know. A few days ago, Princess Jingrou and the second prince came back from the border gate and always came to the house. Even if her brother is not here, she doesn't leave and always pulls me to talk. I don't want to face a pretised princess all day long, and my whole body is uncomfortable.

"Princess Jingrou, is she the daughter of His Majesty the Emperor?" Listening to Huo Qingqing's tone, Lv Xianger suddenly stopped her mind and was a little curious. Maybe there was something in her heart, but she was not noticed by Lv Xianger.

Chaoxia sat as an outsider and understood her thoughts when Huo Qingqing talked about 'Princess Jingrou'. However, when Chaoxia saw that Lv Xianger didn't seem to understand, she was happy to look at it. Speaking of which, although Huo Qingsong had little contact with Lv Xianger during this period, he did a lot of things for her. It's hard for Chaoxia to imagine that a person like Huo Qingsong would bother so much for a little lady. At present, except for Huo Qingsong, there are really no outstanding people next to Lv Xianger. Chaoxia just wants to look at it again and looks on coldly.

When Huo Qingqing heard Lv Xianger's question, he was overjoyed, but his face did not show anything. He said casually, "Yes, Princess Jingrou is indeed the emperor's biological daughter, and her mother is Concubine Xiang..."

Previously, I talked about the two empresses and two concubines of His Majesty Zhao Changyuan, Empress Yuan, Empress Ouyang, and Concubine Xiang and Concubine Song. Compared with other emperors, Zhao Changyuan doesn't have many concubines. In addition to these four who are more valued, there are also concubines, and there are almost five or six concubines in the harem.

What Huo Qingqing said about Zhao Shuxian, Princess Jingrou, and Zhao Chenggao, the second prince, came from Xiangfei. She is also Zhao Changyuan's youngest daughter, which is relatively favored. In addition to this little princess, Zhao Changyuan also has a princess, who is also the first princess of the Zhou Dynasty, the eldest princess Zhao Shuping. The eldest princess's biological mother is Concubine Song, who got married a few years ago and followed her son-in-law in the border. I heard that I have also returned to Beijing recently and am busy building the Princess Mansion.

First of all, this Princess Jingrou is very favored by Zhao Changyuan because the eldest princess is not in Beijing. It can be said that it will be windy and rainy. The aristocratic children of the whole capital also held Princess Jingrou, hoping to get her favor and become her son-in-law.

But three years ago, Zhao Changyuan's triumphant rebel army held a banquet in the palace. Princess Jingrou, who had not yet met Huo Qingsong. It may be Huo Qingsong's cold face, or Princess Jingrou fell in love with him at first sight. In a word, after that, Princess Jingrou took the initiative to show her goodwill to Huo Qingsong.

Zhao Changyuan had liked Huo Qingsong very much, and he had also asked him on behalf of Princess Jingrou, but Huo Qingsong replied. I don't know what Huo Qingsong and Zhao Changyuan said. Anyway, since then, the emperor has never mentioned it again. But Princess Jingrou never gave up. Seeing that Huo Qingsong ignored him, she wanted to walk into Huo Qingsong's sight from Huo Qingqing.

"Xiang'er, you don't even know. For a while, as soon as I hear her name, I will immediately find a place to hide." Thinking of the experience of that time, Huo Qingqing quickly trembled and continued to say, "For good, before you came to Beijing, Princess Jingrou followed the second prince to the border to express condolences that the soldiers were not in the capital. I have been quiet for a long time."

Chaoxia thought of shopping outside for a few days. When she saw the convoy, she couldn't help saying, "Did many officials go out of the city to meet someone a few days ago? The second prince and Princess Jingrou came back."

"How can so many officials greet the second prince and princess?" Huo Qingqing curled his lips and said, "That's the loyal and brave king who guarded the border to Beijing. His Majesty sent so many officials to greet him..."

Listening to Chaoxia and Huo Qingqing talking elsewhere, Lv Xianger did not interrupt, but couldn't help fantasizing about the appearance of Princess Jingrou. According to what Huo Qingqing said, this Princess Jingrou is obviously also a beautiful woman. However, the princess was so enthusiastic that she took the initiative to pursue the person she liked. Lv Xianger admired it very much. But for some reason, Lv Xianger thought of Huo Qingsong and Princess Jingrou together, but she had a kind of astringent feeling in her heart.

Lv Xianger sat in the room and took care of her emotions, but Huo Qingsong, who was standing at the entrance of the yard, looked a little ugly. Obviously, he was a little dissatisfied that Huo Qingqing told Lv Xianger about Princess Jingrou. After returning home, he calculated that he wanted to talk to Huo Qingqing about this matter, but Song Yuan came out of the main room.

Huo Qingsong felt Song Yuan's eyes, immediately moved his body, and then raised his voice and said, "Qingqing, it's getting late. It's time to go."

"I know, brother, I'll be out in a minute." Hearing Huo Qingqing's echo, Huo Qingsong turned around and walked out of the courtyard and asked Huo Bao to prepare the carriage.

Song Yuan looked at Huo Qingsong walking out of the yard, and then shook his head and smiled, "For the sake of Xiang'er, he actually heard the corner of the wall. He really looks like his father. However, Qingsong is better than his father, and he actually uses the art of war on it. I'm afraid that when Xianger noticed it, the people around her were moved by Qingsong..."
