Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 222
This day is the day when each family will send the candidate accompanying daughters to the palace to meet the Queen Mother. Before that, Huo Mingzhu has already inquired that there are ten accompanying candidates this time, including her. It made Huo Mingzhu feel strange that there are still people who are willing to marry the silly prince.

It wasn't until they stood in front of the empress dowager that Huo Mingzhu realized that these people were all second-rate daughters of famous families, among them was the daughter of the county magistrate of Chicheng.

Among this group of people, only this daughter is more capable, and she is extremely good at speaking and speaking, she is a strong opponent.Huo Mingzhu was not worried that her opponent could squeeze her out this time, because the last hurdle was chosen by the foolish prince himself.

Although choosing the prince to accompany the reading, the scene is also very big, the empress dowager, the emperor, the nine princes, the eldest princess, and the silly prince are all here.

Huo Mingzhu recalled what Baili Zonglu said a few days ago when he took her to the Nine Princes Mansion to enjoy the flowers.

"Ajin, if my future nine concubines are like you, I will be satisfied."

This sentence is Huo Mingzhu's rebirth, the first time he heard Baili Zonglu express his heart to her so bluntly, no matter what conspiracy was mixed in this heart, Huo Mingzhu just returned a faint smile and said nothing. She didn't say anything about her going to be the Prince's accompanying student.

Therefore, at this moment, the Ninth Prince Baili Zonglu is sitting on the left hand side of the queen mother. Huo Mingzhu can clearly feel his anger, but she feels happy. This chess piece did not obey her words and became an indeterminate number. To very surprised?

Thinking about it, she didn't raise her head to look at the people above, but stood dignifiedly below, and stood there with the candidates for the people above to look at.

"Your Majesty, what do you think?" The empress dowager's old but still full of tone sounded in the silent hall.

The emperor replied: "I feel very good."

"Excellent, Jingqi, do you like it?" After the empress dowager echoed the emperor's words, she asked Baili Jingqi next to her.

Baili Jingqi had seen Huo Mingzhu standing there among the ten people, and was already so happy that his eyes and eyebrows could be seen smiling. Now when the empress dowager asked, he naturally nodded repeatedly: "Back to the empress dowager, Jing Qi very satisfied."

"That's good, let's go." The empress dowager gave an order, and an old nanny beside her came out, and after receiving the order from the empress dowager, she led a few nanny to stand in the room where Huo Mingzhu and ten others were waiting. Behind them, they held a tray in their hands, and Huo Mingzhu didn't know what was in it.

Huo Mingzhu knew that the next step is for the prince to choose someone he likes as his companion. If he chooses the princess, it will be even more cumbersome, which is already simple.

Just when Huo Mingzhu was thinking about this, Prince Baili Jingqi was already standing in front of her.

Huo Mingzhu heard Wang Momo next to her say: "Madam please look up."

Huo Mingzhu looked up, and met the smiling eyes of the silly prince. For some reason, at that moment, Huo Mingzhu felt that if the silly prince was not stupid, he was also an extremely charming royal child. Fight it.

"Queen Mother, choose her alone." The silly prince picked up the red rope from the tray in the nurse's hand, and tied it around Huo Mingzhu's wrist.

Huo Mingzhu raised her head at this moment, and accidentally glanced at Baili Zonglu's body from the corner of her eye. Seeing Baili Zonglu's slightly tightened jaw, she knew that Baili Zonglu was very angry this time.

She hurriedly turned her eyes back to the silly prince, and respectfully saluted and thanked him: "My servant Huo Mingzhu thanked His Highness the Prince."

"Empress Dowager, what did I say, Jing Qi will definitely choose the daughter of the Huo family, but you don't believe me, look, this is the choice." The voice of the eldest princess smiled, and Huo Mingzhu hurriedly lowered her head. .

The empress dowager was obviously also very happy, and said with a smile: "Forget it, as long as Jing Qi likes it." Then, she said to the emperor: "Your majesty, I haven't walked with Ai's family for a long time. I heard that the flowers in the imperial garden are blooming well. Aijia wants to go and see."

"Yes, my son will accompany the empress dowager to the imperial garden." The emperor stood up, bowed his head respectfully towards the empress dowager to show respect, and then went up to help the empress dowager himself.

After everyone left, Huo Mingzhu and others could leave.

Just as Huo Mingzhu was about to leave, she heard the magistrate Qianjin of Chicheng say coldly: "Hmph, the person who seduced His Highness the Crown Prince long before us, we can't be unconvinced if we lose to such a person."

Huo Mingzhu was a little surprised, why is this girl so bold, His Royal Highness is still here.

However, thinking of the stupidity of His Highness the Crown Prince, Huo Mingzhu felt relieved. For those who dare not lose, Huo Mingzhu did not mean to teach them a lesson. Don't blame him for using the stupid prince as a stepping stone to make his family prosperous.

Huo Mingzhu thought, why didn't this nanny tell everyone to leave, and then heard the silly prince say: "What's your name?"

Huo Mingzhu followed the voice and saw the silly prince standing in front of the county magistrate's daughter, who was asking questions. Huo Mingzhu thought to herself, could it be that the county magistrate's daughter said those words just now, and the silly prince was angry with her? I became interested, thinking back then that my face, which was extremely alienated, could make the silly prince approach me, it's hard to guarantee that the silly prince liked it like this.

"Slave Caiqing is the daughter of Chicheng county magistrate." Caiqing lowered her head shyly, and her voice became softer. If Huo Mingzhu hadn't listened carefully just now, I really didn't know that this person could do it so quickly, and still Yes, this Caiqing really thinks that this silly prince is so stupid that even what she said just now, and thinking about her so delicate and contrived appearance, would he really be moved?

As soon as Huo Mingzhu finished thinking, the silly prince said: "This person insulted Miss Huo in the court, and he will be punished twenty times."

As soon as the words fell, Caiqing stared at the silly prince with wide eyes in disbelief, Huo Mingzhu also did not expect that the silly prince would punish Caiqing directly, looking at the handsome side face of the silly prince, he was absent-minded for a moment.

Cai Qing's crying begging for mercy drew Huo Mingzhu's attention back: "His Royal Highness, please forgive this servant, I dare not, servant, this servant will apologize to Miss Huo, please forgive this servant. "

That Caiqing knelt at Baili Jingqi's feet and begged unceasingly, Huo Mingzhu could already predict that there might be rumors flying all over the palace again.

"His Royal Highness, I'm afraid it will kill her if the [-]-year-old plan goes down." Huo Mingzhu said softly, she was just trying to persuade her, and she didn't want to make any troubles in such a day. things to come.

Baili Jingqi glanced at Huo Mingzhu, smiled at her, and said, "Ah Jin thinks she won't fight?"

"The crown prince has the final say on everything." Huo Mingzhu hastily pushed the matter out.

Unexpectedly, it was already too late, Baili Jingqi seemed very happy, his eyebrows seemed to be smiling, turned his gaze from Huo Mingzhu to the other side, and said to the guards: "No more fights."

As soon as Baili Jingqi's words came out, Huo Mingzhu immediately felt the gazes from all around. Although most of them swept across her body for a short time and then put them away, Huo Mingzhu keenly felt these gazes, especially the vicious one from Caiqing. gaze.

Huo Mingzhu sighed secretly, this was not her wish.

"Okay, let's all go down, Jin, you will enter the palace today, your courtyard has already been arranged." The silly prince's eyes lit up with excitement, wishing he could go forward to hold Huo Mingzhu's hand.

Huo Mingzhu sighed slightly and said: "I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to go back to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Mingzhu still has to go back to the General's Mansion to report the matter of entering the palace to the old lady and my father."

"Is there anything else to do? Didn't they already know about your entry into the palace?" Baili Jingqi looked reluctant, and Huo Mingzhu's eyes twitched.

As for Baili Jingqi's words, Huo Mingzhu really didn't know how to answer, so she knew she could say: "Entering the palace like this is not in accordance with etiquette. Tomorrow, Mingzhu will follow the rules in the palace and receive a waist card. This will be official." Entering the palace."

Baili Jingqi said with a smile: "I was happy for a while, but I forgot these things." After saying that, he smiled, looking naive, Huo Mingzhu looked at it, but he sighed in his heart.

Sitting on the sedan chair on the way back to the General's Mansion, Huo Mingzhu was thinking about the way to go next, when the sedan chair stopped suddenly, Huo Mingzhu asked suspiciously: "Sulu, what happened."

"Miss, it's..." Before Su Yu could finish her sentence, the curtain of the sedan chair was lifted quickly, and before she could see clearly what was going on, she was pulled out of the sedan chair.

With that familiar breath coming, Huo Mingzhu already knew who the person who kidnapped her was.

"Miss, hey, my lord, where are you taking Miss?!" Su Hui hopped beside the sedan chair, watching helplessly as Huo Mingzhu was taken away by Baili Zonglu.

Huo Mingzhu was in a turmoil at this moment, she did not expect that Baili Zonglu would act so crazy, she opened her eyes wide and looked at Baili Zonglu's angry side face, but she couldn't guess, Baili Zonglu Zonglu wanted to take him away.

Baili Zonglu threw Huo Mingzhu onto the horse's back, jumped on the horse himself, and galloped on the street. Poor Huo Mingzhu was hung on the horse's back by the waist. This horse is a good horse, and the speed at which it gallops cannot be tolerated. Small look, this also deepened the pain for Huo Mingzhu, but Huo Mingzhu held it back.

When the horse stopped, Huo Mingzhu found out that she had brought Baili Zonglu to the Nine Princes' Mansion.

Huo Mingzhu couldn't help thinking, what is the meaning of the Baili Zonglu.

Just thinking about it, the person was picked up by Baili Zonglu and carried on his shoulders. Huo Mingzhu was shaken to the point of being a mess. After the fainting feeling passed, Huo Mingzhu opened her mouth, but her calm tone had already recovered : "Good day, Ninth Prince, please make amends, Mingzhu is unable to salute Ninth Prince at this moment."

Baili Zonglu's footsteps paused, Huo Mingzhu thought, this Baili Zonglu might throw herself away, but it turned out that he didn't, Baili Zonglu just glanced at Huo Mingzhu indifferently, then stepped towards Enter through the gate of Nine Princes Mansion.

Huo Mingzhu thought to herself, now things are getting tricky. She let Baili Zonglu be taken away under the watchful eyes of everyone. After being taken away, she went to the Ninth Prince's Mansion. Therefore, she must not step into the Nine Kings Mansion!

Thinking of this, Huo Mingzhu stretched out her hand, intending to chop off Baili Zonglu's back.

Huo Mingzhu's original intention was to get out of trouble, and she didn't mean to really stun Baili Zonglu. Moreover, Huo Mingzhu knew that she didn't have the ability to subdue Baili Zonglu so easily.

Sure enough, as soon as Huo Mingzhu raised his hand, Baili Zonglu threw Huo Mingzhu's body directly.

Huo Mingzhu felt that her body was soaring into the air, so she hurriedly turned over in the air, and then stood firmly on the ground, leaving no room for Baili Zonglu to speak. Huo Mingzhu directly knelt down and saluted: "Huo Mingzhu sees Ninth Prince Chitose , Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose."

Baili Zonglu stood where he was, staring fiercely at Huo Mingzhu, but Huo Mingzhu didn't get up, just knelt like this.
