Chapter 193 Solving the puzzle
Returning to the Lv family, Lv Xianger and the three people slowly got rid of the influence brought to them by Song Beiqiao and Li Xingzhou. In the hearts of the three people, sitting and eating with these two elders was something they never imagined. Until later, when Song Yuan mentioned that it was Li Xingzhou who went to Song Beiqiao that day, he wanted to walk around. Inadvertently, when she came to the Piaoxiang Winery, Lv Xianger's heart was more relaxed.
What Lv Xianger was most afraid of was that Li Xingzhou was angry with Chaoxia because of Li Wenhao. After Song Yuan said so, her heart was relieved. But when she thought of the scenes in front of the Piaoxiang Winery, Lv Xianger could no longer calm down. If it hadn't been for Huo Qingsong's strong appearance and the solution to those three people, I'm afraid the Piaoxiang Winery would not have been able to continue to operate. And the culprit of all this is the quiet princess who doesn't like her.
In the west courtyard of the Lv family, Lv Xianger is cutting big ice cubes with Chaoxia. Lv Xianger, who was angry in her heart, also had a heavy hand, as if the ice in front of her was Princess Jingrou, digging hard. After looking at Lv Xianger many times, Chaoxia understood something and shook her head and said, "Xiang'er, this is ice, not the princess. No matter how hard you try, she doesn't know."
"But I just can't be angry." Lv Xianger threw the knife in her hand on the table, turned her eyes and said angrily, "Don't let me find a chance. Otherwise, I will definitely return the princess's kindness to me.
"Xiang'er, you don't have a chance for the time being, and Princess Jingrou doesn't have time to treat you well for the time being." Hearing the sound from outside the courtyard, Lv Xianger and Chaoxia couldn't help looking out.
I saw a group of five people walking into the west cross courtyard. Huo Qingqing and Wen Yao walked in front, and Lv Hong accompanied Huo Qingsong and Wen Song in the back. Listening to the voice just now, I knew that it was what Huo Qingqing said. As soon as Lu Xianger saw the four people, a smile appeared on her face. Looking at the sky, she smiled and said, "What day is it today? Why did you come together?"
"Of course, today is a good day." Huo Qingqing quickly walked to the icicles in the yard, looked around, and his mouth was not idle: "Let me tell you a happy news. Gaochang in the Western Regions requires an envoy to visit. Because there is a princess from Gaochang in the envoy, Princess Jingrou was sent by her majesty to prepare for the envoy with the fourth prince. Now Princess Jingrou is so busy that she has no other thoughts at all. Xianger, are you happy this time?
"Qingqing didn't say anything else. The second prince was called to the palace by his majesty and reprimanded him for half an hour, and now he has been punished to think behind closed doors. When the envoy comes, he can leave the prince's mansion." After saying that, Wen Yao also turned around in the yard.
In fact, not only Huo Qingqing and Wen Yao, but also Huo Qingsong and Wensong seem to be interested in the icicles in the yard. As he looked at it, Wen Song said with surprise, "I don't know what it will be like after putting in the candle."
"Sister Chaoxia said to Lv Xianger that when everything is done, she will invite her friends to watch it together." When Lv Hong saw that among the few people, Wen Yao began to stamp her feet and raised her voice, "Today's cold is relatively heavy. Let's go into the room and sit down."
Lv Hong turned his head as he spoke, but suddenly found that Lv Xianger was looking at herself. Moreover, Lv Xianger also smiled mysteriously, pulled Wen Yao and Huo Qingqing, and walked out of the courtyard with Chaoxia. Lv Hong was shocked by Lv Xianger, and there was a kind of embarrassment that his mind was seen through. Fortunately, Lv Xianger didn't say anything. Lv Hong stood still and took a secret breath, and then walked out of the yard with Huo Qingsong and Wen Song.
As soon as the group entered the main room and sat down, Xiao Cui took the tea that had just been brewed and delivered it to everyone. Lv Hong sat in the living room with Huo Qingsong and Wen Song and chatted about tomorrow's martial arts examination. Huo Qingqing and Wen Yao, who were sitting in the inner hall, also took advantage of this time to talk about Princess Jingrou carefully with Lv Xianger and Chaoxia.
Because every year before the year, Gaochang, who is a minister of the Zhou Dynasty, will send an envoy to the capital to meet His Majesty the Emperor. On the surface, it is Gaochang who shows the loyalty of its subordinate countries to the Zhou Dynasty and admires the Central Plains culture. And this has a deep meaning, which is not what Huo Qingqing and Wen Yao care about. The two just talked, secretly praising Huo Qingsong for his insidiousness and letting the emperor assign the task of welcoming the envoy to Princess Jingrou.
This welcomes the Gaochang envoy, and the prince participates in the whole process every year. Not only do you need to pay attention to greet them, but also treat them well before the mission leaves, so that the mission can leave with satisfaction. Although His Majesty also appointed the fourth prince, Zhao Chengmin never cares about any business. It can be said that Zhao Chengmin is also famous, and the person who is really responsible for all matters is Princess Jingrou.
This made Princess Jingrou so angry that she wanted to ask His Majesty the Emperor to refuse several times. But after Concubine Xiang didn't know what she had said to Princess Jingrou, she was busy greeting her. Every day, Princess Jingrou can be regarded as getting up early and going to bed late, either staying in the ceremonial department or going to the post station. If Concubine hadn't sent He Ya to accompany her, she would have jumped up long ago.
After saying that, Princess Jingrou, Huo Qingqing took the initiative to ask about the matter in front of the Piaoxiang Restaurant. She and Wen Yao have only heard about it, but the details are really unclear. But she was very sorry to miss the wonderful thing: "If the Empress hadn't asked me and Sister Yaoer to go to the palace again, we could have seen what happened in front of the restaurant."
"What's the pity about this." Lv Xianger laughed and saw that Wen Yao was also a little curious, so she told the cause and effect of the incident in the restaurant again.
After hearing this, Huo Qingqing expressed his anger at Princess Jingrou. However, Wen Yao looked thoughtful. She looked at the corners of Lv Xianger's mouth slightly and sighed secretly that Wen Yao was really a beautiful and wise little lady. Looking at Lv Hong's appearance, he was obviously moved by Wen Yao. Compared with He Ya, Lv Xianger thinks that Wen Yao is more suitable for Lv Hong. Do you want to help your brother? Lv Xianger took a sip of tea and turned her eyes to the living room outside.
"Brother Huo, Brother Wen, I don't understand. Isn't Your Majesty afraid of his Majesty being tired of him when he does this?" Lu Hong, Huo Qingsong and Wen Song are also talking about what happened in front of the restaurant.
That day, Chaoxia suddenly left and followed the carriage. After it was finally confirmed that the second prince Zhao Chenggao was sitting in the car, Chaoxia returned to the winery. On the way, Chaoxia met the second stewor of the Guogong Mansion, and then she was taken to the warm pot shop to meet Lv Xianger and Lv Hong.
Listening to Lv Hong's question, Huo Qingsong and Wen Song took a look, and then whispered, "The second prince left the door of the winery that day and went to the palace to plead his majesty. He said that he originally wanted to vent his anger for his sister and teach Xiang'er a lesson. But he didn't expect that things would get out of control and regretted it. He pleaded guilty to His Majesty.
When Huo Qingsong said this, he stopped, but his tone was full of strangeness that made Lv Hong confused. Wen Song also shook his head and then said, "The Second Highness admits his mistake and is sincere. Your Majesty is also gratified by the brotherhood of the Second Highness, so he only punishes the Second Highness to think behind closed doors."
"Brotherhood?" Lv Hong was a little stunned, but he gradually understood the actual meaning.
The second prince Zhao Chenggao played 'Yangmou', and he just made so many things for his sister. The owners of the three major winery made trouble in the Piaoxiang winery. On the surface, Zhao Chenggao wanted to force Lv Xianger out and damage her reputation. In fact, his target is Huo Qingsong. Huo Qingsong gained more and more trust from His Majesty, but he became friends with the fourth prince Zhao Chengmin. Zhao Chenggao thought that Huo Qingsong was a threat to alienate the emperor's trust in Huo Qingsong.
Of course, if there is no 'two birds with one stone', Zhao Chenggao will not have any damage. As long as he bites and defends Princess Jingrou, His Majesty will not punish him much. Maybe the emperor still thinks that Zhao Chenggao is affectionate and righteous. In a word, no matter what the final result is, his second prince Zhao Chenggao is the winner.
There was silence in the living room. Lv Hong didn't know what Huo Qingsong and Wen Song were thinking, but his heart was very uneasy. Compared with his previous experience, Lv Hong felt for the first time that the conspiracy and calculation could be played so superb. It turns out that an ordinary little thing has such a great impact. The thoughts of the royal people are really deeply chilling.
The change in the expression on Lv Hong's face fell into the eyes of Huo Qingsong and Wensong. Both of them looked at each other and were a little helpless. If Lv Hong did not choose to enter the court, they would not say it clearly to Lv Hong. But he has chosen this road, so he needs to know about it. Even if he doesn't want to participate in it, he should know more to avoid reckless disasters.
"Oh, what's wrong with you? Don't you talk?" Lv Xianger and the four of them walked out of the inner hall, but felt that the atmosphere in the living room was a little solemn, so Huo Qingqing asked.
Wen Song immediately laughed and said, "It's nothing. It's just a casual chat. Are you warm?"
"Well, it's still warm in the inner hall." Wen Yao nodded and sat next to Wen Song, just opposite Lv Hong. Suddenly, she found that Lv Hong's eyes fell on her body a little strange. Wen Yao's heart suddenly trembled and slowly lowered her head.
Lv Hong looked straight at the shyness when Wen Yao lowered her head. It was not until Lv Xianger deliberately coughed that he withdrew his eyes. But several people sitting in the living room suddenly understood something at this time. Previously, Huo Qingqing and Wen Song, who were not aware of it at all, began to look back and forth on Lv Hong and Wen Yao.
Wen Yao couldn't stand such an atmosphere and eyes. After saying a few words, she found an excuse to leave with Wen Song. When Lv Hong sent the two to leave, Wen Song patted Lv Hong on the shoulder and said strangely, "Ky, you are good. Let's have a good chat when we have a chance in the future."
"Brother, if you don't leave, I'll leave." How could Wen Yao not hear what Wen Song knew? She left a sentence angrily and got into the carriage.
Lv Hong was immediately stunned when he saw Wen Yao's behavior, but when he thought that Wen Yao did not refute, he did not mean to refuse him, and immediately smiled. Looking at Wen Song also getting into the carriage, he remembered something and raised his voice, "Brother Wen is too polite. I'll buy you a drink some other day..."
