Chapter 166 Not the right time
To the east of the palace in the capital, it was once the place where the royal family of the previous dynasty lived. After the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Taizu rebuilt all kinds of mansions in this place, which were specially used to reward meritorious officials. Therefore, those who live in this place are all famous and prestigious ministers or their descendants.
Because of the 'King Chen's Rebellion', there are also King Chen's colleagues in the court, and this land is convenient to vacave many mansions. Today's emperor has once again rewarded these empty places to meritorious officials. For example, Zheng Baiyang, a servant of the Ministry of War, who has just taken office. Maybe it's also because he lives here that Zheng Fu is a little arrogant. Looking from this street from afar, there is only one red one at the door of the mansion, which is very conspicuous. Although it looks luxurious, it looks tacky.
Huo Qingqing, sitting in the carriage, looked at Lv Hong outside the curtain, and then curled his lips and whispered, "I don't know how Lord Zheng is in charge of the family. He even let Mrs. Zheng make the door of his house look like this."
Lv Xianger shook her head, with some contempt in her tone, and said, "Qingqing, you don't know that the old lady is the one who can really make the decision in the Zheng family. Lord Zheng is a big filial son. If Mrs. Zheng says that the moon is square, he will not be round.
'Puff--' Wen Yao heard such interesting words for the first time, and she couldn't help laughing. Huo Qingqing covered his mouth at the first time and giggled. Chaoxia had long been immune to Lv Xianger's sudden words, but the corners of her mouth raised. Chaoxia heard that Lv Xianger didn't have any good impression on the old lady of the Zheng family. Who let it be her reason at the beginning? Lv Erniang and Zheng Baiyang Heli suffered a lot.
However, Lv Erniang is also suffering and sweetness now. Not only did he find a person who was sincere to her, but he was also Song Yuan, the Duke of Song, who was an important figure in the Zhou Dynasty. At this moment, it is even more obvious that Zheng Baiyang is not a man who can be ambitious for life.
"I'm about to arrive at the State Mansion, and I'm ready to get off the bus--" With Lv Hong's voice, Huo Qingqing, who was anxious, pulled open the curtain in front of him. Suddenly, a different government from the past was imprinted into the eyes of several people.
It is said that Lv Xianger, Lv Hong and Chaoxia are not the first time to come to the Duke's Mansion, but it is the first time to see the Duke's Mansion in front of them. Two big red lanterns hung high, and the red blankets went from the gate of the Duke's mansion to the main hall inside. From the door, the figure in the government's mansion shook and came and went in an orderly manner. Although it is early winter, there are all kinds of seasonal flowers in the government, and everywhere is full of joy. Compared with the scene when Lv Erniang and Song Yuan got married, it was more solemn and gorgeous.
Huo Qingqing and Wen Yao were slightly stunned when they saw this. Lv Xianger, Lv Hong and Chaoxia are puzzled that this concubine Song must be very favored by His Majesty. Otherwise, the government can't set up such a big battle. It was the afterglow of the corners of Lv Xianger's eyes that Wen Yao's solemn face was a little, so she asked.
Wen Yao looked at Huo Qingqing and said hesitantly, "Today's scene doesn't seem to be as simple as the Empress coming to the State Mansion by herself. I'm afraid your majesty will also come."
"What Yao'er said is not wrong. Every time the Empress comes to the government, she has never had such a big scene." Huo Qingqing nodded and agreed with Wen Yao's guess.
"Stop--" Hearing Wen Yao's words, Lv Hong immediately asked Xiao Wu to stop the carriage and looked back at Wen Yao: "Mrs. Wen, are you telling the truth?"
I don't know why, Wen Yao looked a little shy in front of Lv Hong's eyes. With a gentle nod, she said in a low voice, "The ladies in the palace will not have such a big scene when they go out of the palace. However, this is just my guess."
After listening to it, Lv Xianger, Lv Hong and Chaoxia looked at each other and felt that they should not come. In fact, if Song Yuan hadn't said that the old prince also asked Lv Hong and the other three of them, they really didn't want to come. In the face of characters that ordinary people may never see in their lives, Lu Xianger and the other three are also a little timid. Now, when she heard that His Majesty might also come, Lv Xianger had the impulse to turn around and leave immediately.
Seeing the expression on Lv Xianger's face, Lv Hong thought for a moment and said to Huo Qingqing and Wen Yao, "Today's situation is special, so we won't go to the State Mansion. Those two jars of wine, please dedicate them to the Empress.
"That's why." Huo Qingqing waited for Lv Hong's words to fall. Seeing that Lv Xianger also nodded, he immediately asked. At the beginning, Wen Yao's idea was also like Huo Qingqing, but when he saw Lv Hong turning his head and looking at the Duke's Mansion, he suddenly thought of something, and his eyes flashed.
Although Lv Hong looked at the government, he was thinking about Lv Erniang. He knew that Huo Qingqing and Wen Yao were not outsiders, so he whispered, "Your Majesty will come in person, and there will be many people following them. I don't want to humiliate my mother. Even if you want to see your majesty in front of your mother, tonight is not the most appropriate time.
"Well, all right." Huo Qingqing was silent and understood what Lv Hong meant. Lv Hong once said that he would try his best to get the 'martial arts champion' and add light to Lv Erniang's face. Perhaps, that time is the most appropriate time for Lv Hong to speak.
It is not a small matter for Song Yuan to take Lv Erniang as his wife as the prince of the country. Although no one said anything clearly, Huo Qingqing also heard a lot of gossip. Generally speaking, it's all about Lv Erniang's wrong, saying that she has her children with her children, but she doesn't know what means to confuse the Duke of Song. Lv Hong didn't want to go in at this time, but it didn't look like everyone's eyes on Lv Erniang, putting as much pressure on her.
Wen Yao saw that Lv Xianger and Chaoxia looked a little lonely, so she smiled and said, "Qingqing, I won't go in either. Every time I see my mother, she will ask me about my personal affairs in public. I don't want to marry someone I don't know for no reason.
"You don't all go in?" Huo Qingqing heard Wen Yao say this, and his voice suddenly became louder. He said unhappily, "Then I won't go either."
"That won't work." Wen Yao smiled at Huo Qingqing and said again, "You are the granddaughter of the old prince. How can you not be there? Moreover, we are still waiting for you to talk about the situation later.
Hearing what Wen Yao said, Lv Xianger nodded repeatedly: "Sister Yaoer is right. Qingqing, I'll make you 'steamed eggs' tomorrow. Hurry up and go in.
Chaoxia didn't say anything, but took two jars of wine and handed them over to Huo Qingqing. And Lv Hong had already jumped out of the car and gave way to the place where he got off. Huo Qingqing looked around and said an angryly, "You are too bad. Let me go in alone." Xianger, I don't just eat 'steamed eggs', I still want to eat..."
After Huo Qingqing got out of the car, his mouth was not idle, but his voice was a little lower. Looking at what she was thinking all the way and entering the government office, Lv Xianger and others were amused by her appearance. I have to say that Huo Qingqing is really interesting sometimes, and I don't know who can marry such an innocent little lady.
"Okay, let's go. Send Mrs. Wen home first, and then we will go back. As soon as Lv Hong jumped into the car and was ready to turn the carriage, there was a neat sound of horses' hoofs at the end of the street diagonally.
When Wen Yao saw this, she hurriedly said, "Take the carriage back into the alley. We can't walk. That's Yu Linwei. They must have blocked this street. Let's wait in the alley.
When Lv Hong heard Wen Yao's words, he immediately let the little general's carriage retreat to the alley behind him. But before the carriage retreated a few steps, there was a group of armored soldiers who didn't know where they came out and circled the carriage. Maybe these people have a lot of murderous spirit, or the bright tip of the gun in their hands is facing, and the horse controlled by Xiaowu began to hiss non-stop.
"No, stand back." Just as Wen Yao wanted to explain something, a tall general came over. Seeing this person, Lu Hong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Brother Fang, it turned out to be you."
Brother Lu, long time no see. I can think of how to resist your shot these days, and we will compete with each other one day. When Fang Zhe found the carriage, he looked at Lv Hong sitting on the carriage and immediately came over. But when he approached, he found three beautiful little women sitting in the carriage. Two of them are Lv Xianger and Chaoxia, whom Fang Zhe knows.
Seeing this, Fang Zhe's eyes turned, waved away the feather guards, and then said, "Wait here for a while. When your majesty and the Empress enter the government, you can leave. I have to go somewhere else."
"Thank you, Brother Fang. Let's leave in a minute." Lv Hong hugged Fang Zhe and got back in the car.
As soon as Fang Zhe left, he saw several wide carriages coming from the distance. The carriage was followed by neat palace guards, but there were maids and eunuchs on the left and right. Although this scene was already very low-key in Wen Yao's mouth, Lv Xianger still felt very powerful.
Lv Xianger and others sitting in the carriage could clearly see the diagonal opposite side. Seeing this, Wen Yao whispered in surprise, "It seems that Mr. Lv's guess is not wrong. Today, not only your majesty and the Empress, but also the third prince and the eldest princess couple."
"So, we can see a lot of people tonight." Lv Xianger couldn't see the difference between those carriages. It was a little strange how Wen Yao recognized it. However, Lv Xianger was in a good mood to see the emperor and the prince and princess in the dark. It's as exciting as standing in the crowd and looking at the superstar up close in a previous life.
Soon, a group of carriages stopped at the door of the Guogong Mansion. The maids and eunuchs walked to the first carriage in an orderly manner. Lv Xianger and Lv Hong saw the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty for the first time. They looked at it very seriously and wanted to see what he looked like.
