Chapter 226 Guining

The newlywed woman returned home on the third day of the wedding, called 'Gui Ning'. This has been said before, so I will no longer introduce it in detail. Lv Xianger has just got married, and naturally she has to go back to her mother's home. However, her 'mother's family' is in Beijing, and she can't go back. She can only regard Li's house as her 'mother's family'.

On the third day, Lv Xianger and Huo Qingsong prepared some gifts and both went to Li's house. As for the two women, Chunxi and Chunyi, who just came from Beijing, they seemed to know that they were a little 'obtrusive' and stayed in their yard. But the green cloud, who stayed at home, did not dare to relax his vigilance. While managing the new maids, women and maids, he secretly stared at Lv Xianger's newly named 'Jingxinyuan'.

Mrs. Li, who has been getting the news for a long time, actually wanted to go to Huo's house to ask Lv Xianger about these two concubines. But as soon as Lv Xianger got married, Mrs. Li, the 'mother's family', came to the door and it was not very good, so she put up with the day of 'Gui Ning'.

When Lv Xianger and Huo Qingsong saw Li's house from afar, the little maid who had been waiting for a long time at the door quickly ran back to report Mrs. Li and Li Feng. Therefore, as soon as Lu Xianger arrived at Li's house, Li Feng and Mrs. Li had already welcomed them out. Mrs. Li was anxious to know about the back house, but Li Feng received the news from Beijing Normal University in the morning and was eager to tell Huo Qingsong.

"Xiang'er met her uncle and aunt." Looking at the no one around, Lv Xianger lowered her voice and bowed to Mr. and Mrs. Li Feng. For the time being, Li Feng forgot to talk to Huo Qingsong. He brushed his short beard and said 'good' with emotion. However, Mrs. Li came forward directly, helped Lv Xianger up, and said with emotion, "Come in and talk about it. I know you are filial to your uncle."

As he spoke, the group walked to the main hall of Li's house, while Lv Xianger, who was walking with Mrs. Li, looked left and right and said strangely, "Auncle, why don't you see your cousin?"

"Wen Hao, he went out early in the morning and said he would be back in a while, and he would give you a surprise." Mrs. Li is also surprised by Li Wenhao's recent behavior and hasn't found a chance to ask him. After listening, Lv Xianger blinked her eyes and had some guesses in her heart.

Entering the hall, the four people sat down separately. Mrs. Li took Lv Xianger's hand and looked at her left and right, as if she wanted to see if she was happy after marriage. Lv Xianger's eyebrows were soothing, her eyes were like spring water, and her skin was better than before. It seemed that she was more beautiful after marriage. When Mrs. Li saw this, she smiled straight to her eyes and nodded secretly.

On the other side, Li Feng and Huo Qingsong drank tea and whispered the news he had just received: "The news came from Gaochang that the emperor of Gaochang suddenly became seriously ill and died. Prince Ju Chenhao became the emperor of Gaochang yesterday, and Princess Jingrou became the queen of Gaochang."

"How can it be? I think the emperor of Gaochang is very healthy. How can he suddenly get seriously ill?" Huo Qingsong frowned, and there was something wrong in his heart.

Li Feng sighed softly, and his expression was also a little solemn: "I also think there seems to be something strange in it, and I have reported this matter. The original Emperor Gaochang was greedy for pleasure, which was not a problem. But this Ju Chenhao..." Speaking of this, Li Feng did not go on, but his expression clearly showed his thoughts.

Of course, Huo Qingsong could see it, and his tone was more cautious: "There is some truth about what my uncle is worried about. Ju Chenhao is a person with deep thoughts and a deep city government. Now that he has become the emperor of Gaochang, I'm afraid that the previous sharpness will be revealed.

"Oh, how can Qingsong know Ju Chenhao so well?" Li Feng was very strange, so he looked at Huo Qingsong.

Huo Qingsong took a look at Lv Xianger, and a trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes. Then he lowered his head slightly and said, "My uncle should remember the palace banquet held for the imperial examination..."

"You mean that Ju Chenhao was not drunk at all. He went in on purpose and deliberately had a skin relationship with Princess Jingrou?" It was the first time that Li Feng knew what happened at the palace banquet. It was Huo Qingsong who designed Princess Jingrou for Lv Xianger. He was very shocked by Huo Qingsong's boldness. However, when he heard that Ju Chenhao was pretending to be drunk, Princess Jingrou, who intended to marry, changed her face.

In all dynasties, there have been friendly princesses, and there are only two places without exception. One is to avoid war, and the Celestial Empire takes the initiative to marry the princess; the other is that foreigners are afraid of the attack of the Celestial Empire and exchange marriage in exchange for peace. Today's emperor does not mean to let the princess go 'harmony'. On the surface, Ju Chenhao seems to have been used by Princess Jingrou, but in fact, he married the princess by mistake. I'm afraid that the purpose of his visit to Beijing was aimed at the princess.

Take a quiet princess favored by the emperor. The Zhou Dynasty and Gao Chang are friendly neighbors for a certain period of time. It was impossible for the Zhou Dynasty to attack Gaochang regardless of the princess. When Gaochang encountered any danger, the Zhou Dynasty had to help. It is also because of this that when Gaochang Kingdom expands its territory to the small countries in the south, most of these small countries will submit to the Great Zhou Dynasty behind. At this point of view, Ju Chenhao's behavior is the matter of 'the fox fakes the tiger', and his mind is really deep enough.

"Wait a minute. If after a while, it comes to Gaochang to provoke a war with the surrounding small countries, then my guess may be true." Since Huo Qingsong learned that he had helped Ju Chenhao from behind once, he had a breath in his heart. Think about when General Huo has done something that has suffered losses, not to mention a small son of Fanbang. If Huo Qingsong doesn't find this 'field', he won't be General Huo.

Li Feng listened to what Huo Qingsong said and was also silent. I'm ready to go back and tell Gao Chang to do it carefully, and pay attention to Ju Chenhao's movements. Li Feng was farther than Huo Qingsong thought. He was afraid that Ju Chenhao would annex the surrounding small countries as Huo Qingsong imagined. In case Ju Chenhao's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and he wants to invade the Central Plains, Li Feng, as the commander-in-chief of the border areas, must be unprevented.

When Huo Qingsong and Li Feng were relatively speechless about their thoughts, Mrs. Li also learned about the two 'concubines' from Lv Xianger. Mrs. Li didn't expect that these two 'little concubines' were sent by Song Yuan. Thinking of the relationship between Lv Erniang and Lv Xianger, Mrs. Li's eyebrows stood up.

Lv Xianger saw that Mrs. Li was going to be angry and hurriedly said, "Auncle, you can't blame the prince for this matter. He has no choice but to do so."

"Does it have to?" Mrs. Li's voice was much louder, and she said angrily, "In the eyes of outsiders, Song Yuan is your father, Qing Song's uncle. There are fathers, uncles, and obstacles for their daughters and nephews.

"Auncle, you are still angry. Listen to Xiang'er's words." Lv Xianger was both funny and grateful for Mrs. Li's big reaction. But she didn't want to make a big deal, so she got up and comforted the angry Mrs. Li.

If it hadn't been for Song Yuan's cronies in the escort of Chunxi and Chunyi, Lv Xianger and Huo Qingsong would have thought that Song Yuan was disgusting Lv Xianger. Of course, Lv Xianger and Huo Qingsong didn't know at the beginning, or waited until that night that the guard found Huo Qingsong through Huo Bao, and Lv Xianger knew Song Yuan's suffering.

Since Princess Jingrou married far away, the second prince also became king and wanted to leave the capital, and the concubine had more leisure time. Therefore, she thought of Lu Xianger. Originally, in the heart of Concubine Xiang, Lv Xianger was the 'sinner' who let her daughter marry far away. She couldn't find Lv Xianger, so she had to find Lv Erniang. After Song Yuan married Lv Erniang again, she had only one wife. Therefore, concubine Xiang played the 'name' of opening branches and leaves for the government, and encouraged the emperor to send two concubines to Song Yuan.

His Majesty did not agree, but it shocked Song Yuan. His Majesty knew that Song Yuan only liked Lv Erniang, but he did not prevent him from giving his two concubines. But after being told to the concubine for a long time, he may really agree. Now, Lv Erniang's stomach is already very big and is about to give birth. How dare Song Yuan let Lv Erniang be stimulated at this time.

After thinking about it, Song Yuan decided to let Lv Xianger suffer some grievances and wait until Lv Erniang gave birth. Then he found someone he didn't know well, ran to the concubine to advocate for her, and let the two 'concubines' in the general's mansion go to Dengzhou. Instead of offending the Duke of Song, it's better to directly block Lv Xianger and Huo Qingsong. Therefore, Chunxi and Chunyi, who had never met Huo Qingsong several times, came to Dengzhou.

"Xiang'er, since it means to the concubine, how do you plan to deal with those two?" Mrs. Li didn't blame Song Yuan, but she remembered the two 'concubines' in Huo's house.

Lv Xianger blew the foam on the water of the tea and said easily, "I'll come as soon as I come. I'll take good care of them. Anyway, it's almost a month's journey from Dengzhou to Beijing. I don't believe that the Empress Xiang will come to Dengzhou and let the two of them 'open branches' for the Huo family.

"That's good. That's the only way for the time being." Mrs. Li nodded, but she was thinking of a 'once and for all' way to solve the two 'concubines' for Lv Xianger at a time.

Lv Xianger didn't know what Mrs. Li thought, because she didn't look at Mrs. Li, but found Li Wenhao coming to the hall. Looking at the wine jar in Li Wenhao's hand, Lv Xianger immediately got up and said happily, "Cousin, is it out of wine?"

"Exact" Li Wenhao was also full of joy and put the wine jar on the table, and Li Feng and Huo Qingsong were also attracted by the dialogue between Lv Xianger and Li Wenhao.

Looking at this jar, Li Feng's face was more surprised: "Wen Hao, is this the soju from the winery in Dengzhou?"

"Of course." Li Wenhao shook his head proudly and opened the wine jar. Suddenly, the strong fragrance of soju overflowed. After taking a deep breath of wine, Li Wenhao said happily, "This jar is the first batch of soju. The shopkeeper sent a few jars, saying that he would let Xianger taste and comment on it.

"In that case, let's have dinner." Li Feng's eyes narrowed and his expression was very satisfied.

Huo Qingsong also took a look at Lv Xianger with the corners of his mouth slightly, but he knew what this soju meant to the soldiers in some border barracks. If those people know that this is the soju process brought by Lv Xianger, Lv Xianger has more 'worships', which is a good thing that is beneficial and harmless to Lv Xianger. Huo Qingsong's eyes flashed and he began to figure out what to do.
