Chapter 282 Follower
The lanterns in the palace are more like talented people and talents, and beautiful women show their faces, and there is a little restraint in the prosperity.
Huo Jingping, who has always been famous in Kyoto, looks outstanding in this gorgeous lantern, not because of the blurted lantern riddle, but because of the woman around him.
As soon as Huo Jingping entered the palace, Princess Jianning didn't know where to jump out. Where Huo Jingping went, Jianning followed him and did not leave.
"Pinglang, what do you think this lantern riddle means?" Princess Jianning held a note and blinked her big innocent eyes for dozens of times, which made Huo Jingping extremely impatient. But after all, in the palace compound, not to mention the ninety-five supreme daughter on the opposite side, Huo Jingping could not even show any impatience.
"Well, I don't know. Look at the prince over there, he has guessed more than a dozen, and this must not be a problem," Huo Jingping politely pointed to the man not far away, intending to get rid of this follower.
"No, he is not as good as Pinglang. It is said that if the second son of General Huo's mansion ranks second in our Lei country, then no one dares to be the first. Pinglang can't guess it. He will definitely have no chance!" Jianning still sticks to Huo Jingping like a piece of cowhide candy. He is so enthusiastic that he can't wait for even an iron block to be melted.
The man next to him had been listening to Princess Jianning's words. Hearing Huo Jingping's recommendation, his heart blossomed instantly, but his face still pretended to be indifferent. He slowly walked through several lanterns with lanterns and came to Princess Jianning.
"Xiao Ke Zhang Mo, meet Her Royal Highness!" The man who claimed to be Zhang Mo saluted extremely gentlemanly. When he looked up again, Princess Jianning had already run to another lamp shed and left him with an embarrassed face.
Huo Jingping, who was pulled away by Jianning, kept looking back and encouraging Zhang Mo to come forward again.
Zhang Mo hesitated for a moment and finally brazenly followed Princess Jianning. Before entering the palace, A Niang had carefully told him to open an exception to open a lantern party in the palace, which was to choose a bride for the princess in disguise. If he behaved well and could be favored by the princess and become a son-in-law in the future, it would be a good opportunity to shake up.
"Pinglang, look, this horse racing lamp is so beautiful! I like it so much. What about you? Do you like it? Princess Jianning pointed to the running lantern in front of her and was extremely happy.
Zhang Mo followed him and sang happily in his heart. He opened the lantern in front of him, crossed Huo Jingping, squeezed directly to the other side of Princess Jianning, and pointed to a row of exquisite horse running lights beside him. He was quite proud. You know, his father looked for these horse racing lights for a long time before sending them to the palace. He didn't think about it. Unexpectedly, I got the princess's blue eyes, "Princess, if you have this horse lantern, can you send someone to the princess every day to watch?"
Jianning ignored it and directly turned around and looked at Huo Jingping, "Pinglang, let's go over there and have a look. In fact, this horse lantern has seen too much, that's all."
After hearing this, Huo Jingping almost vomited blood, and Zhang Mo stayed directly in place. After living for so many years, it was the first time that he was ignored like this. This feeling was simply insulting!
"Pinglang..." Princess Jianning seemed to have infinite words and pulled Huo Jingping to talk endlessly. Although she also met other princes and sons along the way, each of them could be treated as warmly as Huo Jingping.
"Princess, it's late at night, would you like to take a break first?" Huo Jingping had a headache when he heard this and was stared at by the meaningful eyes of others, so he simply issued an eviction order to Princess Jianning.
But Princess Jianning didn't seem to understand the meaning of this sentence, but jumped up happily, "It's still Pinglang who cares about me the most. Oh, I'm just tired of walking. Pinglang, let's go to the pavilion over there and sit for a while. It's boring to see too many of these lanterns. Besides, the lantern riddles are boring. It's still interested in talking to Pinglang. Si, Pinglang, what do you think?
As soon as the words fell, without waiting for Huo Jingping to answer, Jianning greeted the maid behind him, "Go and invite the people out of Jinhua Pavilion, and say that I will go there to rest, and no one is allowed to disturb."
The maid immediately responded, and after a moment, she drove the people in the pavilion clean.
Huo Jingping couldn't escape, but was pushed by Princess Jianning all the way to Jinhuating.
"Princess, princess!" Zhang Mo stood coldly under the lamp shed for a long time, and finally cheered up, changed his smiling face above, and caught up with Princess Jianning's footsteps.
"What's the matter?" Jianning was quite unhappy and finally looked back at the man.
"Princess, I heard that the princess has always loved ink painting. Xiaoke happens to have a few books of Mr. Wu Daozi's orphan books here. Today, I happened to meet the princess, so I want to give it to the princess for tasting." Zhang Mo tried his best to please this little girl, especially the three paintings of Wu Daozi, which were found by his father, in order to help his son capture the heart of Princess Jianning one day.
Jianning waved his hand impatiently, "No, I'm so lonely here. Come back quickly. I still have to go to Jinhuating for tea with Pinglang!"
Huo Jingping grabbed a life-saving straw, quickly came to Zhang Mo's side and pulled Zhang Mo, "Princess, Mr. Zhang is my friend. Why don't we go to the pavilion for tea and talk together? It's also lively when there are many people. Brother Zhang, don't you think so?"
"Ah, yes, that's true. It's crowded!" Zhang Mo took Huo Jingping's eyes and quickly patted Huo Jingping's back enthusiastically.
Jianning curled her lips, but since Huo Jingping proposed it like this, how could she oppose eating tea with Pinglang's friends? So she nodded reluctantly, pulled Huo Jingping by her side, and pouted and walked to Jinhuating.
Zhang Mo wiped the sweat on his forehead. Fortunately, he was clever. Otherwise, how could there be such a good opportunity to talk to the princess at close range?
In the Jinhua Pavilion, the earth dragon was burning vigorously. After sitting in the pavilion for a short time, it was too hot to sit still. Huo Jingping only felt that the sweat on his neck was dripping on his back, and Zhang Mo was not much better. The two sat with Princess Jianning for a while and couldn't help but be relieved to hear that Jianning wanted to go back to her room to change her clothes.
The two men sat stupidly in the pavilion, but they were a little embarrassed.
"The princess is young and inevitably more capricious." Zhang Mo took the lead in breaking the silence, but he was sticking gold on Princess Jianning's face. No matter how slow he is, he can see his thoughts on Jianning. Huo Jingping has heard it, but he is a little happy. Since this boy is interested in Jianning, he will get rid of Jianning's entanglement. It's time to wait.
"Well, after all, she is the most favored princess of the emperor, and she should have this kind of nature." Huo Jingping spoke extremely plainly, and his words seemed to be positive and negative. Hearing it in Zhang Mo's ear, he was secretly happy.
But this was heard by Jianning, who came to the door. She walked into the pavilion and sat next to Huo Jingping excitedly.
"Pinglang, I'm afraid only you can stand my nature, Pinglang, don't worry, I will definitely become a lady in the future and won't embarrass you."
Hearing this red fruit's words, Huo Jingping was immediately stunned. Did this mean that his status had been confirmed? How can it be! How could she have such a great power to directly express her feelings for Huo Jingping beyond the Holy King!
Zhang Mo heard a loud noise in his mind. Just now, he obviously had a chance to win the princess's heart, but it was Huo Jingping. If it hadn't been for him, the princess would have hugged him!
"No, no, princess, you may have misunderstood. I have always regarded you as my sister, my direct sister. Oh, no, princess, you are the precious heart of the Holy King. How can you climb high!" After saying that, Huo Jingping was a little excited, but the princess obviously couldn't listen. She just stared at Huo Jingping's face with a pair of affectionate big eyes.
That handsome and drooling face is like a signpost in the eyes of Princess Jianning, just because her greatest wish in her life is to marry such a handsome man!
"Why did you become a high climb," Princess Jianning sat down again next to Huo Jingping with some coquettish anger in her words.
Huo Jingping subconsciously moved his body and separated him from Princess Jianning. Unexpectedly, Princess Jianning then came over and forced Huo Jingping to sit on the ground.
Zhang Mo witnessed this scene with his own eyes, and the sourness in his heart turned into old vinegar, but he still suppressed the jealousy in his heart and laughed, "Princess, it's so happy that you can have a brother like Brother Ping."
"Bah, who said Pinglang would be the brother of this princess!" Princess Jianning was upset by Huo Jingping. She happened to open her mouth silently, and the anger in her heart finally found a vent.
"Pinglang, your friend is really interesting. I'm curious how Pinglang is so talented and handsome that he can make friends with people like you!" Princess Jianning's words slapped Zhang Mo in the face.
Zhang Mo was suffoed and his face turned pale, "Me, me, and Brother Ping..."
"Princess, you are noble, please show mercy and pay more attention to your image! Brother Zhang and I have been friends for many years. Although we don't have a life-and-death friendship, we also have a relationship with Bao. If the princess insults like this again, please forgive me for being tolerable and say goodbye!" Huo Jingping said and walked out of Jinhuating with a straight face.
Zhang Mo was in arrears and hesitated to go out together, but in hesitation, Princess Jianning burst into tears. Zhang Mo looked at the door and looked at the princess. The balance in his heart still leaned towards the side of the princess with pear blossoms and rain.
Huo Jingping breathed a long sigh of relief and left Jinhua Pavilion as if he had escaped, for fear that the princess would chase him out again.
After leaving the palace non-stop, Huo Jingping finally relieved his mind. Princess Jianning's mind was too obvious. I don't know what rumors would come from tonight's behavior in the eyes of those long tongues.
However, these are no longer important. The important thing is that he finally left Jianning to the poor man, but I don't know if he has the ability to deal with this golden princess?
Huo Jingping returned to the general's mansion with heavy feelings, and the people in the house also seemed a little lonely because they went out to watch the lights. Huo Jingping seemed to have grass in his heart, but he was a little depressed. After thinking for a long time, he finally made up his mind.
