Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 176
Situ Yue'er opened her eyes wide as if she had just seen Huo Huaiyu: "Is this sister Mingzhu's younger sister? Miss Suwen Huo is beautiful, and this second lady is also innocent and innocent, so people can't help but love her." Well, sure enough, this meeting confirmed the popular saying."

Huo Mingzhu laughed secretly, this Situ Yue'er could not blush or breathe when she lied, which is really amazing, seeing her make Huo Huaiyu more hostile with a few words, Huo Mingzhu could only shake her head secretly.

However, she did not forget to take up her identity as a sister and said: "Thanks to Miss Situ's praise of my little sister, my little sister is just as innocent as Miss Situ said. I think this temperament is just like Miss Situ's." Woolen cloth."

Huo Mingzhu was not helping Huo Huaiyu, but she always had to say a word or two on the bright side.

Huo Huaiyu obviously doesn't like others to praise her for her innocence. She prefers the reputation of being a country and a city, so she said a little unhappy: "If I am the same age as my sister, I will not be much different from my sister."

It was Huo Huaiyu, a little girl who was protected by her mother and didn't know much about the world, who would say such things on this occasion.Huo Mingzhu could see Situ Yueer's flashing smile.

She stopped talking and stood aside with a smile.

However, Situ Yue'er said: "What Miss Huo Er said is very true. After all, they are real sisters, so of course they will not be the same in appearance."

All the people present laughed when they heard this sentence, except that the displeasure in Huo Huaiyu's heart was reduced a lot.Baili Zonglu first broke the conversation between the girl's family.

"Ah Jin, come today, and I will take you to meet my war horse." Baili Zonglu spoke with an incomparably proud look.

Baili Zonglu is proud of his capital. He has the title of hero, but this war horse has made great contributions. On weekdays, Baili Zonglu's war horse enjoys better treatment than that wealthy businessman.It can be seen how much Baili Zonglu attaches importance to war horses.

Huo Mingzhu smiled slightly and said: "The prince's war horse must be extraordinary, so it is worthwhile for Mingzhu to be lucky enough to see it from a distance."

When Baili Zonglu heard it, the smile on his face deepened: "This king's A Jin is indeed very different. The thing he loves is a war horse. If you had told this king earlier, this king would have given away the horse. Send it to Ah Jin."

When he said this, Huo Huaiyu was jealous and envious, and said bitterly: "It's all my mother's partiality. I sent my sister to the city over there, so I can deal with horses all day." The implication is that Huo Mingzhu will like horses It's because the family sent her to the border town, and they are also reminding Baili Zonglu that this Huo Mingzhu came back from the border town, so she can't be on the stage.

"You girl, if your mother heard it, you wouldn't die of grief, but you would think that you couldn't wait to leave your mother. If I hadn't been weak since I was a child and had to leave, would I be willing to stay in the city over there?" Huo Mingzhu said half-heartedly. It's scolding, half joking.

"Ah Jin has suffered so much. From now on, these sufferings are all in the past. With this king here, Ah Jin will surely go smoothly in the future, but don't mention any unpleasant things today, that's good." Bailizong Lv spoke at the right time, although he was asking, already in a tone of impatience.

Of course Huo Mingzhu heard it, so she changed the subject and said, "That war horse is that precious hard-earned BMW?"

Baili Zonglu said: "Of course there is no shortage of sweaty and bloody horses, but today it is more than that. The king suddenly thought that he might let Ah Jin take a look today. If he recognized all the horses of the king, he would allow Ah Jin to have a look." desire."

When Huo Huaiyu and Situ Yue'er heard this, they couldn't help but Situ Yue'er said first: "My lord, you can't be so partial. If you say you recognize a horse, I will too."

"Sister, don't be rude." Situ Tiannan shouted to stop.

But Baili Zonglu said: "It's okay, since Miss Situ also said so, then I will agree, and of course the second lady of the Huo family. Today, the king will accept it. If any of you three recognize the king's identity War horses, this king has granted you a wish. As long as it is any wish within the power of this king."

This can be described as a great honor and attraction.

Apart from the lack of interest in Huo Mingzhu's heart, the two women looked like they were gearing up and ready to go.

The silly prince who had never spoken up until now said, "Uncle Wang, can Gu Ye recognize it?"

Baili Zonglu glanced at the silly prince and said: "Prince, it's not that Uncle Wang won't let you recognize him, but this king thinks that you should recognize them all. For this reason, you don't want to compete for these ladies. award."

"What Uncle Wang said is that if you are lonely, you can't fight." When the silly prince spoke, he glanced at Huo Mingzhu.

Huo Mingzhu felt very baffled, so she just talked and watched what she did.

Because it is not very far from here to the horse pen, it is stipulated by Baili Zong's law to go on foot.

As the group of people walked towards the horse pen, Baili Zonglu was always standing on Huo Mingzhu's left hand side, with a posture of a protector, but the distance between the two was that Baili Zonglu could reach Huo Mingzhu as soon as he lowered his head. Let Huo Mingzhu see his smile.

Huo Mingzhu endured instinctive resistance, relaxed her body, and persuaded herself not to show disgust.As for the gaze behind her that was about to burn her, Huo Mingzhu guessed that it must be Huo Huaiyu.

"Ah Jin, you used to be in the border town, what's the difference between the school grounds you saw and this?" Baili Zonglu always wore a gentle and refined smile, as long as he spoke to Huo Mingzhu, he would treat him with a smile.

Huo Mingzhu felt very disgusted at first, but she gradually got used to it, and she could also ignore it, deal with Baili Zongru, and she could answer naturally: "Of course it is not as good as the school in Shangjing. This point Mingzhu can say To be fair, everything in the city over there is hard work, and the school yard is a wilderness, made only by footsteps, without any piles."

"My king apologizes, Ah Jin. I said I would not let you mention the bitterness of that place again, but you did." Baili Zonglu blamed himself.

Huo Mingzhu sneered in his heart, this Baili Zonglu probably took the opportunity to ask about the situation in the city over there, but his face showed a considerate look: "I don't blame the prince, and it's not bitter, in the border town, you can ride a horse." Archery is no better than going to Beijing, you can only stay in the boudoir. There are gains and losses."

"Oh? Miss Huo can ride a horse and shoot arrows?" Baili Jingqi stared at Huo Mingzhu in surprise.

Huo Mingzhu nodded slightly: "Only superficial."

"Then I want to see it later." Baili Jingqi smiled happily, shouting to see it, but he really looked heartless, Huo Mingzhu rolled his eyes in his heart.

But she said respectfully: "Of course Mingzhu is willing to practice for the crown prince, but she feels that it is an act that does not know what to do in front of the prince."

"Ah Jin can't say that, why are you and I so distant."

This sentence made everyone present change their faces. Huo Huaiyu couldn't help but feel at ease. It was originally Huo Mingzhu and Ninth Prince who were talking before, and she couldn't get in a word.

Huo Mingzhu must have deliberately dragged the topic to places she is not familiar with, and now that the Ninth Prince has said such things, how could Huo Huaiyu be willing to make this situation more and more uncontrollable? live.

Then he pulled Huo Mingzhu's clothes and said: "Sister, you never told me that you can ride horses and shoot arrows, but you are afraid that after you tell me, I will pester you to teach you, just because you know that I am not good at these things. What a favorite."

Huo Huaiyu's words, on the surface, blamed Huo Mingzhu for concealing it, but actually told the people present that she also likes horseback riding and archery, but she has no chance to learn.

Huo Mingzhu smiled and said: "If I teach you how to ride horses and shoot arrows, your mother will not be frightened by you."

"I don't care, I don't care, I just want to learn."

Huo Mingzhu said with a hint of helplessness, but a kind smile: "Okay, okay, you want to learn, but it's not today, let the prince and the prince see the joke."

Huo Mingzhu found out the Ninth Prince again as a shield, and the effect was obvious. Huo Huaiyu immediately became quiet, and a blush appeared on his face, as if he was shy.He whispered: "Ah, if I am happy, I will always be so hopeless, and I hope the prince and the prince will forgive me."

"It's okay, it's okay." The prince waved his hand quickly.

But Huo Huaiyu didn't even look at the prince, but looked at Baili Zonglu.Baili Zonglu smiled very gently, and said, "Second Miss Huo is so naive, how can I blame you?"

"Thank you, prince, thank you prince." Huo Huaiyu smiled as if he had found some treasure.

Huo Mingzhu took a peek at Situ Yue'er, seeing that Situ Yue'er's hand was firmly grasping the silk in her hand, she laughed secretly in her heart, she knew what Huo Huaiyu was thinking.

While talking and laughing, the horse pen has arrived.

The stables are no worse than those simple sheds in the border towns that are only made of a few large pillars. This is a real house, and it is also made of blue bricks. Each leather horse has a small independent stable.The grain and grass used were also extremely delicate, which made Huo Mingzhu understand that this must be Baili Zonglu's private stable.

The war horses here are probably all from Baili Zongru.

"Ah Jin, the two ladies, from here onwards, it's a bet, how about it?" Baili Zonglu pointed to the location of the stable.

Huo Mingzhu followed Baili Zonglu's fingers to see that the handsome and tall horse at the beginning was the sweaty horse just mentioned.

She glanced at Situ Yue'er and Huo Huaiyu next to her, and they couldn't wait to say, "Yes."

Huo Mingzhu nodded and said: "Yes."

Huo Mingzhu looked over at a glance, there were more than a dozen war horses here, and she could name them one by one. At the same time, she was shocked, but Baili Zonglu had so many good horses.

However, she was not in a hurry to speak, and she waited for the other two to speak first.

She didn't want to squeeze in between those two people and fight for it. This war belonged to those two people.Even so, she also pretended to look at the horses seriously, as if thinking about memories.

Baili Zonglu kept looking at Huo Mingzhu with a smile, but the silly prince also looked at Huo Mingzhu, looking at his appearance, he wanted to come and tell Huo Mingzhu what he meant.

Huo Mingzhu laughed secretly, this silly prince, I don't know if it's because he has a good heart or something else.But he no longer focused on the prince.

"This is a bloody horse." Situ Yueer pointed to the horse in front of him and said.

Huo Mingzhu smiled, but said nothing, this sweaty horse is easy to recognize, just to see if the sweat on his body is red, but Situ Yueer is lucky, this horse is sweating, so she really recognized it out.

"Of course I also know that this is a BMW of sweat and blood, but you said it a step faster." Huo Huaiyu didn't know whether it was true or not, so he said it in a serious manner, with a look of unwillingness to admit defeat .

Baili Zonglu said, "But Ah Jin doesn't recognize it?"

Huo Mingzhu nodded: "But I do recognize it. There are several colors of sweaty and bloody BMWs: light gold, bay red, silver white and black! Because the horse's skin is thin, the blood flowing in the blood vessels is easy to be seen when running. In addition, the horse's The sweat glands on the shoulders and neck are well developed. When horses sweat, they tend to get wet first and then get wet. For horses with pale gold or chestnut hair, the local color will appear brighter after sweating, giving people the illusion of "bleeding", so it is named Sweaty BMW. "

"Then this horse must be recognized by all three young ladies, how about this one?" Baili Zonglu opened his mouth, and everyone agreed unanimously.

Situ Yue'er was not very happy, she was the one who recognized everything first, but she made everyone pass the test.Especially Huo Huaiyu, who simply got away with it.
