Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 199
"The concubine sees His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, and the Crown Prince." Lin Ruyi saluted the two of them respectfully, and only stood up after the Eldest Princess dismissed the salute, and stood aside respectfully.

The eldest princess's gaze was too much on Huo Mingzhu, Huo Mingzhu didn't raise her head, not knowing that Baili Jingqi was also looking at her at the moment.

Before everyone could speak, Baili Zonglu came over, so it was another visit to him.

"Give me a seat." After the eldest princess finished speaking, someone brought the chair over to Lin Ruyi, mother and daughter.

Baili Zonglu first said: "The king just left for a while, but he heard some words when he came back. What do you think of this time?"

When the eldest princess heard this, she just smiled: "This matter is yet to be decided, Brother Nine Emperors, don't take it to heart. What's more, my palace invites all young ladies and gentlemen to come here just to enjoy the flowers in the garden, don't worry about other matters."

The eldest princess also knew about the matter between Huo Mingzhu and Baili Zonglu. Therefore, when Baili Zonglu asked at this moment, she could only talk about him and not give an exact answer, because the eldest princess knew that if Baili Zonglu asked, she could only talk about him. Baili Zonglu and Baili Jingqi robbing a woman will make the servants laugh.

Furthermore, the eldest princess had never seen the happy look on the prince's face. Because of this smile, she wanted to help the prince snatch Huo Mingzhu back.

"Sister Huang is very true." Baili Zonglu didn't ask the bottom line, Huo Mingzhu thought to himself, Baili Zonglu didn't put him on the top of his heart at this moment, just take the last life as an example, it's time to come When talking about marriage, it's just a play on the spot.

If it is really his sweetheart, with his dominance, I am afraid that he will strike first and snatch it with the stupid prince. After all, he just robbed himself with a stupid prince, and he and he were the first to spread rumors!
However, after thinking about it again, a man like Baili Zonglu probably only has power in his heart, and women are probably just tools that he can use. Where can there be any sincerity in it? Through, in this life, she just wants to take a good look at it.Look at what happened to this beastly hypocrite.

"Your Highness, the scenery of the Eldest Princess' Mansion is really beautiful. I was so reluctant to leave just now." Huo Huaiyu smiled cleverly, and treated the Eldest Princess as if she were Mrs. Huo.

The eldest princess put her eyes on Huo Huaiyu, smiled back, and said unhurriedly: "Miss Huo is dignified and beautiful, and Miss Er is also innocent, lively and pleasant. Mrs. Huo teaches well."

Lin Ruyi hurriedly said: "I am really ashamed to take the blessing of the eldest princess."

"There is nothing wrong with it. The good education of the children is the credit of the mother. If this palace praises you for being well-bred, you dare not be worthy of it. If this palace says that the two young ladies are as beautiful as flowers, gentle and pleasant, but you I’m going to shout again that I don’t dare to take it.”

Lin Ruyi said: "The eldest princess must not praise the two daughters, otherwise, they will not know what modesty is."

Huo Mingzhu listened to these involuntary words, although she was very impatient, she was still patient, but she clearly felt that two eyes stayed on her for a long time.

One was Baili Jingqi, and the other, Huo Mingzhu guessed, could it be Baili Zonglu.

Thinking of this, she raised her head and took a look, but unexpectedly, she met Baili Zonglu's eyes, and the two pairs of eyes met just like that, Huo Mingzhu immediately lowered her head hurriedly, avoiding that gaze, Huo Mingzhu Mingzhu clearly saw anger from her eyes.

But I don't want to, why is Baili Zonglu angry? Huo Mingzhu finds it funny if it is between her and the prince. Baili Zonglu doesn't have her in his heart, so he looks at her with a jealous and angry look What?

Or, as she thought, Baili Zonglu was not reconciled to being robbed of the person he wanted to use, so he was angry?

Thinking of this possibility, Huo Mingzhu looked up at Baili Zonglu generously.

Baili Zonglu was indeed angry. He heard what happened just now several times along the way, and every time he heard it, his anger surged up.

At the moment when they looked at each other just now, Baili Zonglu saw Huo Mingzhu lower her head, she was really satisfied with Huo Mingzhu's guilt for being sorry for him, but unexpectedly, she immediately cast her gaze over again.

Those eyes were as clear as water in a lake, and there was no trace of guilt, which made Baili Zonglu even more angry. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Baili Jingqi say: "Ah Jin, this is lotus seed cake. You can taste it if it tastes good."

Baili Zonglu's eyes darkened a bit, and a smile appeared on his lips, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, he looked at Huo Mingzhu and said, "Jing Qi and Ah Jin are so familiar that even Ah Jin has called her. "Baili Zonglu recalled that when he insisted on calling her nickname Huo Mingzhu that day, Huo Mingzhu had a reluctant look on his face, compared with the way the prince called her just now, but she finally felt it was inappropriate, Baili Zonglu is It's hard to be angry.

When Baili Jingqi called her, Huo Mingzhu put her eyes on the silly prince, and when she heard the lotus seed cakes, she brought over the plate of lotus seed cakes from Baili Jingqi, and she was startled.

What does the prince want, there are so many people here, he has no scruples, overstepping the eldest princess and the Ninth Prince, he brought this lotus seed cake in front of her.

Although the lotus seed cake is a small thing, just for eating, but this occasion is not right, if not knowing that the prince is so stupid by nature, Huo Mingzhu would have thought that Baili Jingqi did it on purpose.

The eldest princess laughed lightly: "The crown prince's visit really made Aunt Huang sad. Fortunately, I treat you like my own child on weekdays. Unexpectedly, there are good things, but Miss Huo is the first to taste them."

Huo Mingzhu was startled, and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Princess, please forgive me." But she couldn't continue, she was innocent!

However, the prince's actions, if the eldest princess wants to punish the crime, it is also possible, regardless of seniority, to seduce the prince!It was already a capital offense, even Huo Mingzhu's status as a general's daughter could not save her, if the emperor wanted to, even the entire general's mansion might be buried with her.

Fortunately, the eldest princess didn't have that kind of thought, she would just say that, and she was just making a fuss about Baili Jingqi.

This silly prince is usually indifferent to everything, he will not go west when others tell him to go east, he will not even ask a question, but now he is unexpected and spontaneous Passed a plate of dim sum to a girl's house.

"What are you guilty of? The prince's heart, as an aunt, this palace is clear in her heart, and she will not blame you, but I still want to thank you. I have never seen such a clear expression on the prince's face in so many years. Smile." The Eldest Princess spoke impeccably, she didn't blame Huo Mingzhu for her crime of disregarding superiority and inferiority, but she didn't say much.

The words did not mention any clues about the marriage, nor did they deny the intimacy between the prince and Huo Mingzhu, in short, guess what you want!

Huo Mingzhu got up from the ground after thanking her.

But I heard Baili Zonglu say: "A Jin grew up in a border town, and her habits are not the same as those of the girls in Shangjing. I have known it for a long time since I am brave enough to be informal and courageous. This kind of temperament is familiar with Jingqi, but it is only reasonable. Among them, Jing Qi is usually taciturn, so it would be good if Ah Jin could speak with Jing Qi on behalf of the king."

Baili Zonglu's words hooked Huo Mingzhu and him again, which clearly meant that Huo Mingzhu had long been his, and no matter how good he was with Baili Jingqi, that was what Baili Zonglu meant.

After saying this, the silly prince didn't understand the meaning, but said: "It's thanks to Uncle Nine Emperors that I got to know Ah Jin, Jing Qi is very grateful."

The eldest princess glanced at Baili Zonglu, and the disapproval in her eyes was obvious, but she didn't say any accusations, but said indifferently: "Miss Huo's beauty is really rare, even Bengong was amazed after seeing it." No way, since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by the Beauty Pass, if I am a hero, I am afraid that it will also be damaged here."

"The eldest princess is serious. Her appearance is just a skin. After a hundred years, no matter how beautiful her face is, if she doesn't have a kind heart, all that will be left is infamy. People will definitely not remember how beautiful she was when she was young. "Huo Mingzhu reminded the eldest princess that appearance is skin, and she never made a fuss about appearance.

However, the eldest princess heard Huo Mingzhu's heart for Baili Jingqi, but it was not comparable on the outside, and she was very happy at the moment, thinking that Huo Mingzhu was a person who was sincerely good to the prince. Mingzhu's appearance became more and more pleasing to the eye.

Huo Huaiyu couldn't bear this topic to keep going around Huo Mingzhu, she laughed here for so long, the eldest princess just glanced at her indifferently, and immediately said with a smile: "Of course my sister is extremely beautiful, you I don’t even know, my sister is also very good at horseback riding and archery.”

In this way, remind others that Huo Mingzhu is just a wild girl who grew up outside. She looks pretty, but what she plays with on weekdays is horseback riding and archery, which is different from the young lady in the boudoir.

For example, with her, it is different.

Huo Mingzhu didn't keep this topic on her body all the time, so she followed Huo Huaiyu's words and said: "Riding and archery is just something I keep in contact with every day, and I just learned some superficial things, so I can't get on the stage."

"It's all my fault. If it wasn't for my inability to take good care of Mingzhu, she wouldn't be able to take care of herself because she was ill. She could only be raised in a border town with a suitable climate. Fortunately, now that she is back, those things left behind like an ordinary daughter's house can be taken care of by Mingzhu." You will soon make up for your ingenuity." Lin Ruyi explained to the eldest princess.

If Huo Mingzhu marries the silly prince, Lin Ruyi is willing. She puts Huo Huaiyu first. If Huo Huaiyu loves the Ninth Prince, she will try her best to help Huo Huaiyu. As for this Huo Mingzhu who hinders her daughter, Lin Ruyi Yi wished that she could die immediately.

Huo Mingzhu felt that Lin Ruyi was bewildered by acting, and she actually said this in front of the eldest princess. It was not the right time to praise her virtuousness and kindness.

"When I was young, I heard all day long how clever the Lin family is, and how masterful she is in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Thinking about it, Miss Huo Er may be even more outstanding."

When the eldest princess opened her mouth, Huo Huaiyu turned the topic to her as she wished, so the following communication was nothing more than false feelings and accidental duplicity, and Huo Mingzhu just listened to each other.
